Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 10 intends

The guard system of the Ming Dynasty was useful at the beginning of the country, but it almost completely collapsed in the middle period. At this time, whether it is garrisoning or fighting, it basically depends on the battalion. www>

The Guards Army is hereditary, that is to say, the first generation belongs to a hundred households, as long as they are not dismissed or downgraded, after many generations there will be a hundred households.But the position in the guard and the position in the battalion are two different things.For example, the hereditary position of Qi Jiguang's family is the Commander of the Guards, which can be regarded as a middle and high-level military position. , will be promoted layer by layer.

The guards are hereditary, from military officers to military households. They are trapped in one place and cannot be transferred. Many generals annexed the land of military households and used military households directly as tenant farmers. During the Wanli period, the generals raised land and the military households gave land again, and the situation improved slightly. Even so, it was still the same as ordinary households. Incomparable.

As for the battalion soldiers, they are recruited from ordinary people and military households. They have money for settling down, rations, and salary. The battalion soldiers are selected to match the income of several military households. [

In this way, the defense of the Nine Sides basically relied on battalion soldiers rather than guard soldiers after the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

This will also bring huge financial pressure. Peaceful seasons are good, once the troops are used frequently, the finances will definitely go bankrupt. Anyway, at this time, let alone the guards, it is also very common for the battalion soldiers to not receive their salaries for half a year. .

The Jimo Battalion was a coastal defense battalion established during the Jiajing period. It was under the control of the governor of Denglai. It used to be not weak in combat power, but now the military pay is insufficient, and the battalion soldiers have fled. There are less than [-] soldiers in the entire battalion, and most of them are rogues , It is to put on the skin of a battalion soldier. In Yurou Township, if something really happens, it is unreliable.

Zhou Binglin wanted to second the Jimo battalion soldiers, firstly because he was close, secondly because the Jimo battalion was responsible for coastal defense, and thirdly because he was old friends with the Jimo battalion guerrillas, at least he could borrow dozens of usable soldiers.

Of course, each battalion needs a reward of at least two taels of silver before they can be dispatched, otherwise they will not fight and will harass the local area.

It can be seen from this that Zhou Binglin is going to spend a lot of money this time.

Fifty battalion soldiers, plus dozens of capable military households in the hands of Qianhu, and hundreds of people added up, it is indeed about the same.

The plan was good, but Zhang Shouren had other plans.

Since this credit is his first, of course he is ready to get all the credits below.Suppressing pirates, training his subordinates, and expanding his strength and influence are all pre-planned. Although Zhou Binglin's plan is good, the initiative is in the hands of this thousand-family lord. One floor lower.

Now look around, there are only four or five people in the seat, and they all seem to be Zhou Binglin's confidantes, Zhang Shouren smiled slightly, and replied to the expectant Zhou Binglin: "Your Excellency's plan is good, but I want to say that the camp If the soldiers are in one day, the pirates will probably never come. It takes one day to kill a thief, but a thousand days to defend against them. Your Excellency plans to raise dozens more soldiers in the Fushan Institute, and I am afraid that the financial resources of the Institute will not be enough."

In one sentence, the ambitious Zhou Binglin's face turned ashen.This old thousand household wanted to use this opportunity to make a name for himself. The most troublesome thing in Denglai was the banditry and sea troubles after Kong Youde's rebellion. He killed Han Liu, the big boss, and then wiped out the big gangs who came to retaliate. Pirates, my thousand households may be able to add an official title of garrison.
