Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 653, People's Liberation Army

Liaodong, along with the imperial court's large-scale development of Liaodong, a large number of immigrants moved from the customs to the Liaodong area in an orderly manner, and began to distribute and spread across Liaodong in a reasonable manner.

At the same time, the military households in the Liaodong area also began to cheer.

In one of the guardhouses, an official in crimson robes read the imperial decree loudly in front of many military households: "The frontier troubles in Liaodong have been eliminated, and there are no foreign troubles. All military households in Liaodong have been changed to peasant households. The land that originally belonged to the guard will be shared by all the guards.”

It is finally the turn of the Liaodong region for the reform of the military system of the Ming Dynasty. For the Liaoning military households who have been looking forward to it for a long time, it is tantamount to the sound of nature.

With the reform of the military system, these military households have since left the military households and become farmers in the Liaodong area, and the imperial court also divided all the fields that originally belonged to the military households to these people.

The Baihu, Qianhu, Zongbing, etc. who were riding on their heads and domineering, were all transferred away by the imperial court. It is said that the original Liaodong Zongbing died because of colluding with the Jurchens and wantonly suppressing the military households. He was sent to prison, and after the charges were confirmed, he would be executed in autumn.

In the Liaodong area, without the threat of the Jurchens or the grassland people, the entire Liaodong area became extremely safe all of a sudden.

After the liberation of military households, countless people offered the longevity seat of Emperor Hongzhi in their homes.

They are no longer run-down military households, they no longer have to be burdened by their status as military households, and they no longer have to endure the exploitation of those hundreds and thousands of households.

They have their own fields, and this day will have a bright future.

And as locals in Liaodong, they are too aware of the fertile and rich land of Liaodong.

There is an endless wilderness here, as long as you have strength, you can reclaim as much as you want.

In the past, it was because of the threat of the Jurchens and the wanton harassment from time to time, coupled with the restrictions of the military household system, they had to endure the exploitation of hundreds and thousands of households.

Although they are in a rich place like Liaodong, their life is indeed very hard.

But although suffering is bitter, the land in Liaodong is fertile. At least there is no need to worry about food. The imperial court never needs to allocate a grain of food here.

Unlike the border towns in Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places, in order to maintain the expenditure of the frontier troops in these places, they had to use salt to encourage merchants to transport food here to meet military needs.

But Liaodong is different. There is no need to transport food from the pass. The land here is rich and fertile, and the military households are self-sufficient.

"Finally~ we are no longer military households~"

"Our descendants and grandchildren can also go to school and take the imperial examination~"

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live~"

The military households fell to their knees in tears one by one, extremely excited.

They have finally got rid of their status as military households, they are no longer dilapidated military households, despised and enslaved military households, they are now peasant households, peasants.

From then on, they can own their own fields, and their descendants no longer have to marry wives because of their status as military households. They can only marry children of military households.

People who are not military households, he will never be able to understand the heavy burden that the status of military households brings to them.

Their ancestors were the founding soldiers who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world, and they were brave and good at fighting. At first, because they were assigned to Liaodong, because they were military households, their descendants lived a life that was not as good as pigs and dogs.

No one would look them in the eye.

A dilapidated military household is enough to describe everything about them.

Now it's finally free.

The sound of joyous firecrackers began to sound, beating gongs and drums, and joyfully.

The military households in Liaodong have been looking forward to the day for too long.

Ever since they knew that the imperial court was going to reform the military system, abolishing the original military household system and changing it to a compulsory soldier system, the military households in Liaodong have been waiting and waiting for their turn.

Last year, the imperial court wiped out the Jurchen ministries.

The imperial court began to deliberately arrange for the new army to take over the defense of the Liaodong side, and at the same time slowly transferred the Liaodong commander, deputy commander, and general officials who held military power back to the capital.

After completing this series of operations, the reform of the military system in the Liaodong area began.

The fertile Liaodong has bred the sturdy Liaodong people.

If one were to say where the most effective fighters were in the original Ming army, it would undoubtedly be the Liaodong side.

Living between the white mountains and black waters for many years, the Liaodong Army had to fight the Jurchens, and at the same time set aside the grasslands to the west. It is conceivable that the combat power of the Liaodong Army was definitely the strongest among the original Ming Army.

In fact, the Liaodong Army in history is also powerful, and has always been an important force to resist concealment. Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry is even more sturdy.

All of this is inseparable from the environment of the land in Liaodong.

The land here is fertile and rich in products. Even though they are all dilapidated military households, there is absolutely no need to worry about food and drink. As long as they cultivate the fields and go hunting, there will be endless food and prey.

Therefore, all the members of the Liaodong Army are tall and powerful, far from what those military households in the pass can compare with.

There are only so many fields in the military households in the pass, and the pressure from the hundreds and thousands of households above is very severe. More and more fields are occupied, and the fields belonging to military households are less and less. more and more people.

Therefore, the military households in the customs are really hungry.

The military households in Liaodong are much better.

There are a lot of fertile fields here, and they can be reclaimed and planted casually. At least it is absolutely a matter of reputation to eat enough.

The Liaodong military households have been able to deter the Jurchen ministries, which is enough to show the strength of the Liaodong military households.

Therefore, in terms of the reform of the Liaodong military system, the princes above the imperial court were very careful. Only when the new army completely took over everything here, these general soldiers and general systems were transferred away.

Only then did it announce the reform of the military system on the Liaodong side, liberating all military households in the Liaodong area.

If you want to develop Liaodong, immigration alone is obviously not enough.

It is also necessary to stimulate the enthusiasm of the local military households in Liaodong.

The military system is obviously the best way and the most effective way.

All the military households in Liaodong were cheering and celebrating.

Their request is actually very simple, that is, to leave the military household and become an ordinary farmer.

Such a simple wish has finally come true.

Ordinary military households are constantly cheering, but the original hundred and thousand households are dejected. From then on, they can no longer ride on the heads of these military households to eat, drink and scatter.

Moreover, the imperial court was very ruthless. The imperial court also transferred all of their hundreds of households and thousands of households to the pass. After such an operation, they completely lost the basis for continuing to dominate.

As for wanting to support soldiers and self-respect, that is really courting death.

Not only will the military households below not follow you to die, but the 2 new army and 1 cavalry led by Wang Shouren have always been guarding Liaodong.

While cleaning up the remnants of the Jurchen ministries, they are also guarding against these thousands of households, hundreds of households, and general soldiers in Liaodong.

Whose interests will be most harmed by military system reform?
Naturally, these thousands of households, hundreds of households, general soldiers, etc., once the system is changed, their hereditary iron rice bowls will be lost.

If you want to continue to eat this meal, you must go to the Daming Royal Military Academy for in-depth study and training.

How can they bear this hardship? The current hundred and thousand households are all passed down from their ancestors. Many people can't even wield a sword anymore, and they are living purely on the merits of their ancestors.

Many thousands and hundreds of households even kept a large number of servants in captivity, relying on these servants to maintain their rule and maintain their domineering life on the head of military households.

Military households who cheered and celebrated, thousands of households and hundreds of households who packed up their things and left silently, such scenes were happening throughout Liaodong.

　Is it snowing in the Northeast now?
