Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!
Chapter 334 Dismissal of Veterans
Later generations in our country became known to the public in those few years.
There is a rumor circulating on the Internet. These public intellectuals and pioneers have made up the story that the Bald Eagle's passport has a sentence that says, "No matter where you are, the government and the military are your strong backing."
Very domineering, isn't it?
In fact, there is no such sentence on the passport.
A few years ago, when war broke out in Sudan, Bald Eagle immediately evacuated only government staff from foreign agencies. However, 16,000 Bald Eagle citizens are stranded in Sudan, without seeing the government or the army. They can only seek shelter on the spot and seek their own blessings.
Some Bald Eagle nationals are still trying to escape Sudan after the Bald Eagle embassy was evacuated. However, the White House announced that there are no plans to evacuate the 16 Bald Eagle citizens stranded in Sudan.
The bald eagles just let the civilians of their country fend for themselves in Sudan.
There is a paragraph in our passport, which states that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the rabbit country requests the military and political agencies of various countries to facilitate the passage and provide necessary assistance to the passport holders.
Ordinary.
As a result, our People's Liberation Army urgently mobilized the warships escorting the Gulf of Aden to go to Sudan to carry out transfer and evacuation operations.
This is our motherland, you can always trust her!
Sit down!
There is a sense of security, which is that we have a strong motherland behind us, which will take you home when you are in danger. Whether in Sudan or in a turbulent and ever-changing world, the Chinese people's strong national pride and self-confidence are eternal.
The strength of the country is the confidence of overseas compatriots and the greatest security guarantee.
This is what Yang Xian wants to do.
Wherever the sun and moon shine, wherever rivers reach, we will always keep the people of Ming Dynasty safe.
Shang Shui, the prince of Xiaoliuqiu Island, was escorted back to the Ming Dynasty and accepted a public trial.
Finally he was sentenced to death.
The entire trial process was announced to all the people of Ming Dynasty through the Ming Dynasty Daily.
For a time, the national pride and identity of all Ming people emerged spontaneously, and their cohesion was unprecedented.
Because they know that even if they are just an ordinary fisherman, this country and the court are willing to stand up for them!
As for Xiaoliuqiu Island, because the original king died, the prince was now also executed by Ming Zhengdian.
The Ming Dynasty naturally took over the management of the island, incorporated it into the Ming Dynasty's territory, placed it under the jurisdiction of Fujian Province, set up a government office, and then promoted the selection of administrators immediately.
After settling the matter on Xiaoliuqiu Island, Zhu Biao finally began to reform the army.
There are many things to do. The first is to merge today's military households into civilian households.
Then lay off the veterans.
The entire disarmament scale of the Ming Dynasty was very large. Zhu Biao finally decided to eliminate a total of 20 veterans based on the roster provided by the Governor's Office and the Ministry of War.
You must know that it has been eleven years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
Many of these soldiers had already joined the army in the late Yuan Dynasty.
This group of people is obviously older, and many of them can no longer keep up with the progress of the Ming Dynasty.
According to the general outline of Yang Xianti's thoughts.
It is necessary to comprehensively improve the treatment and social status of military personnel.
Therefore, for this group of retired veterans, Zhu Biao specifically ordered the Bureau of Military Affairs to mint 200,000 Hongwu medals and give these medals to these retired veterans to show their honor.
Of course it's not just about honors.
In terms of material things, we can’t let it go.
According to Zhu Biao's regulations, all these laid-off veterans were returned to their original places, and various counties and counties were responsible for taking care of them, while providing all necessary conveniences.
If the disabled old soldiers have family members, the local government will provide them with three shi of rice and grain and one acre of farmland every year.
If there is no family to take care of them and they are widowed, they will be sent directly to the nursing home for old age. The ration will be six dan per year. Injuries and illnesses will be diagnosed and treated by Huimin Pharmacy. All expenses will be borne by the court.
Even though there are many people on the Internet in later generations who always smear Zhu Yuanzhang as a tyrant, what he did to the people, especially the poor people at the bottom, among so many emperors in ancient history, it can be said that he did it to the extreme.
The Yangjiyuan, Huimin Pharmacy, and Luzeyuan established during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty are among them. They can be said to be the three carriages of charity in the Ming Dynasty.
According to the records of "Records of Ming Taizu", Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict in the first year of Hongwu (1368) that "the widows, widowers, orphans, invalids, and those who cannot support themselves will be given an official position to support them." He also issued an edict in the fifth year of Hongwu (1373) that "the world "County Orphanage", and soon after, the orphanage was renamed "Almshouse", and the objects of adoption were stipulated as "people who are lonely, disabled, sick and unable to survive". The Ming Dynasty's mechanism of "Almshouse" was established from then on, and the "Almshouse" system was established. As a government-run charity organization, it will be promoted and popularized throughout the country.
In order to ensure the smooth implementation of this system and to prevent officials from being corrupt, Zhu Yuanzhang wrote it into the "Da Ming Code", which stipulated that "all widowers, lonely and seriously ill people who are poor and have no relatives to rely on and cannot survive on their own should be adopted by the court. Those who refuse to adopt will be given sixty sticks. If they should be given food and clothing but the officials will reduce the amount, it will be considered as a prisoner stealing." At the same time, officials are required to check the operation of the nursing home after they take office.
Elderly care has been solved, and Zhu Yuanzhang has not been left behind on the medical insurance issue.
Medical treatment in the Ming Dynasty followed the old system of the Song Dynasty. According to the "History of the Ming Dynasty Official Records": "In the third year of Hongwu's reign, the Huimin Pharmacy was established, with the government setting up Ti Ling, and the prefectures and counties setting up official doctors. All soldiers and civilians who were poor and sick were given medicine." At this point, Huimin Pharmacy has completed the update and iteration, opening a new world for the Ming Dynasty version.
Speaking of the Ming Dynasty version of Huimin Pharmacy, the biggest difference from the Song Dynasty version is that the promotion was stronger and the coverage was wider. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Huimin Pharmacies were mainly concentrated in the capital. After the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang began to set up Huimin Pharmacies in the two capitals (Beijing and Nanjing), as well as in various prefectures, prefectures, and counties after the Ming Dynasty. .
In addition, the staffing of the Ming Dynasty version of Huimin Pharmacy was also quite impressive. The central Huimin Pharmacy has full-time staff such as ambassadors and deputy envoys; the local Huimin Pharmacy also has drawmen and official doctors.
Under the promotion of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Dynasty version of Huimin Pharmacy quickly entered thousands of households.
During the Ming Dynasty, the local Huimin Pharmacies were widely distributed and radiated to a large population. This enabled the Huimin Pharmacies to donate medicines and medicines to countless poor people, thus solving the problem of poor people's difficulty in seeking medical treatment despite the lack of medical conditions in ancient times. Expensive medical treatment is a big problem.
As for the last Leaze Garden, it was used to bury the dead without owners.
It can be seen from these various measures that Zhu Yuanzhang always has the people at heart. After all, he himself has come up step by step from the bottom, so he knows best what the people really want. This is much better than doing a face-saving image project like Thousands of Old Banquets.
Unfortunately, these welfare institutions failed to survive in the end.
Take the Yangjiyuan as an example. The construction of the Yangjiyuan was most prosperous during the Hongwu period, but gradually decreased after Emperor Jianwen. After Renxuan, the decline of the Yangjiyuan became increasingly serious. Although it recovered somewhat during the Wanli period, it basically declined after Wanli. Abandoned, never to be restored.
At Yang Xian's suggestion, the Ming Dynasty also began to build martyrs' tombs in various places to bury soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country and made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty.
We must know that the dismissal of such a large number of soldiers in previous dynasties has been a very dangerous thing, but now with Zhu Biao's series of combined punches, the first step in the army's restructuring has finally been taken smoothly.
Then came the restructuring of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.
At Yang Xian's suggestion, Zhu Biao did not reorganize the Metropolitan Governor's Office into the Fifth Army Governor's Office according to the original time and space.
Instead, the Military Aircraft Department was directly established.
The post of chief governor was abolished and several military ministers were jointly responsible.
The Military Aircraft Department is mainly responsible for handling military affairs. Unlike the Metropolitan Governor's Office, where power was completely vested in the emperor himself, the Military Aircraft Department was just a military affairs office, completely an extension of the emperor's political will.
In addition, there are five military and aircraft ministers below to restrict each other, so there will be no situation where the governor is dominant.
Regarding this restructuring, Lao Zhu naturally supported it with both hands.
Because in this way, he quietly took the most important military power and money and food processing power into his own hands.
Moreover, doing so also took away some functions that originally belonged to the Ministry of Education.
Originally, the Governor's Office had the power to command troops, while the Ministry of War had the power to mobilize troops.
Now they are all concentrated in the Military Aircraft Department. Although the Minister of War is also the Minister of Military Aircraft, in the future, he will no longer need to report to the Zhongshu Ministry of Finance, but will handle it directly in the Military Aircraft Department.
This is tantamount to weakening some very important powers of Zhongshu Province in disguised form.
Including this military restructuring, Zhongshu Province was directly bypassed, and full power was left to Zhu Biao and several military ministers such as Xu Da, Tang He, and Li Wenzhong for discussion.
Beijing.
The Huaixi veterans, headed by Liang Guogong Lan Yu, Pingliang Marquis Fei Ju, and Ji'an Marquis Lu Zhongheng, immediately felt a sense of crisis after hearing the news of the army reform.
This was especially true when Zhu Yuanzhang directly bypassed them during his expedition to Xiaoliuqiu Island and appointed juniors such as Xu Yungong and Li Jiujiang as his generals.
But they had no access to the specific details of the military reform, so they could only go to the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion to find out the information.
Lan Yu and the others knew that Zhongshan King Xu Da must know.
In front of the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion.
The soldiers guarding the gate in front of the palace saluted quickly when they saw the formation of Lan Yu and his party.
"Brother, please report to Xu Shuai that Lan Yu, Fei Ju, Lu Zhongheng, Tang Shengzhong and several Huaixi brothers are here." Lan Yu patted the soldier on the shoulder and smiled.
"Yes!" The soldier guarding the gate responded and went into the mansion to report.
"When we meet Xu Shuai later, let's just talk openly. Xu Shuai will definitely help us, ah!" Lan Yu looked back at the old brothers and said with a smile.
Lu Zhongheng also responded: "Of course, we are Xu Shuai's old subordinates, and we can talk to him about anything."
The others also laughed.
Not long after, the soldier who had reported to the mansion came out quickly, bowed his hands and said, "Generals, Commander Xu is lying down to rest. Generals, please come back another day."
"Are you sick? Are you seriously ill?" Lan Yu asked subconsciously.
You must know that Xu Da was ordered to patrol the border not long ago, and he suddenly fell ill just a few days after returning to Beijing.
The young soldier replied: "In the early hours of this morning, the commander suddenly suffered from angina in his chest and couldn't even breathe. After treatment by the imperial doctor, he is now a little better."
"Then let's just say hello and leave, okay?" Fei Ju, the Marquis of Pingliang on the side, said.
"The commander-in-chief ordered me to apologize to all the generals. The commander-in-chief said that under the current circumstances, it is best not to meet." The soldier bowed and replied.
It seems that they are not planning to let him go.
"I understand." Lan Yu's face changed slightly and she turned around. "Brothers, let's go!"
"Even Xu Shuai is starting to be a little timid. What should we do?" Lu Zhongheng said.
You must know that not long after the bitter tea banquet and the beheading of the prince-in-law under the moon, countless Huaixi brothers were dismissed from their posts and imprisoned because of the customs smuggling case.
Lan Yu and the others haven't breathed yet.
The imperial court is about to carry out military reform again. What is it going to do?
Although the reform news released so far is only the first wave of veterans who have disbanded the army, who knows what the next step will be?
The bitter tea moonlight banquet just happened, how could they not be afraid?
And most importantly, the man who made them gnash their teeth with hatred was also one of the five military ministers, and the only one who was not in the capital.
Lan Yu and the others are really afraid.
If in the past, he could still be more courageous relying on the iron coupon in his hand, but Zhu Liangzu has already used his life to show his brother.
If something happens, the death-free ticket will be useless.
It would be better to die as soon as possible.
Thinking of Zhu Liangzu's shrill scream that day, even these battle-hardened veterans couldn't help but look a little unhappy.
"Let's go find Tang Shuai!" someone suggested.
Lan Yu shook her head and said, "Don't count on Tang Shuai. He is always cautious, and he won't come forward to speak to us."
Tang He was not so cautious at the beginning.
Everything started after that incident.
At that time, when Tang He was guarding Changzhou, because Lao Zhu did not agree to his request, he complained after being drunk, "I am guarding this city, as if I were sitting on the roof, looking left and right."
This sentence is very fatal.
After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Tang He finally missed the position of duke, which had a lot to do with this incident.
This complaint of "Looking to the left will lead to the left, looking to the right will lead to the right" has a strong origin. It came from Han Xin.
"Historical Records: Biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin" records that when Xiang Yu sent Wu She from Xuyi to lobby Han Xin to unite with Chu to fight against the Han, he said: "The affairs of the two kings today depend on one step. If a step is thrown to the right, the King of Han will win, and if he throws to the left, King Xiang will win." "In other words, Han Xin is very important. Who can win between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu depends on who Han Xin helps.
Let's look at Tang He's complaint again. In fact, the meaning is exactly the same. That is to say, he guarding Changzhou is like sitting on the roof line. If you go to the left and I help you Lao Zhu, you Lao Zhu will win. If you go to the right and I join Zhang Shicheng, then Zhang Shicheng can win. In ancient times, this was a rebellious saying, so Lao Zhu has always been worried about it.
If it weren't for the sake of brotherhood, and if Nian Tanghe made a drunken gaffe, anyone else would have died long ago.
After Tang Hejiu woke up, he realized his fatal mistake.
Only then did he start to become cautious, and this character continues to this day.
Even though he failed to make him a duke, he didn't say a word.
You must know that Lao Zhu ordered Tang He's mistakes when he was in Changzhou to be engraved on his hereditary iron certificate. Who wouldn't be afraid of it? (End of chapter)
