Ming politicians

() More than a month has passed.

The dismantling of the troops in the guard station is progressing very smoothly, and all matters have achieved results.

What Su Tiancheng was most satisfied with was that the arable land could be divided smoothly, and all of them were planted with grain. There was no need to supervise this. Everyone knew that only when grain was planted could there be food and a living. What's more, these officials The fields are allocated to individuals, and the grains produced belong to the individuals after the taxes are paid.

The taxes on the official land used to belong to the army of the guards, but now the taxes are directly handed over to the local government, which increases the government's income to a certain extent.

All the guard officers were concentrated in Xianyang, entered the Jiangning camp, and began a three-month training. Those who passed the training were able to stay, and those who were unqualified all went home. This also inspired the officers to the greatest extent. No one wants to be treated as a waste and a coward during the training process, and be eliminated.

The problem still exists.

Zhu Shenxuan and Hong Chengchou came to Xianyang. This time, they encountered a very real problem, which is also a problem that they have always been confused about. That is how to build an invincible army. At least this army must dare to fight. Fighting wars, dare to go head-to-head with the rogues and Tartars.

Among the frontier army and guard army, the 3 people selected have good physical fitness, but lack the most fundamental things, that is, spirit and morale. This is the key problem. If these problems cannot be solved, reorganize The frontier army, after seeing the Tartars and the rogues.Still shrinking back, not daring to fight.That doesn't do anything.

Many of these [-] sergeants are former officers' personal soldiers, their salary can be guaranteed, and their quality is good, but they seem to be very dazed, re-entering the army, and don't know what to do.

If this problem cannot be solved, it will be impossible to build a powerful army.

Xu Eryi also came to Xianyang.He also knew about this problem. The success of the Jiangning Camp should not be accidental. Apart from guaranteeing the military salary, there should be other reasons.

Governor Yamen.

Xu Eryi, Zhu Shenxuan, Hong Chengchou, Tan Zongliang and others all sat on one side.

The relevant situation is over.Including the punishment of some scum in the army, Zhu Shenxuan used Shangfang's sword to kill more than 100 evil soldiers in more than a month, which caused a great shock among the army and the common people.The behaviors of harassing the people in the past seemed to disappear overnight.

Everyone looked at Su Tiancheng to see what method Su Tiancheng could think of, how to form an army no less than the Jiangning battalion.

Su Tiancheng looked at the crowd and spoke.

"I won't talk about other aspects. The focus now is how to build a combat-capable army. Thirty thousand sergeants are not a small number. If there is no morale and spirit, it is equivalent to a flock of sheep. We will abolish the guard army It is a failure."

"You must be thinking about how the Jiangning Camp can be successful and what are the secrets. In fact, there are not many secrets."

"In an army, the most important thing is the military spirit and honor. Soldiers must have the honor of a soldier. They must understand why they became a sergeant and what they must do, even if they lose their lives. Only when they understand this point, will they kill the enemy recklessly and never back down when dying."

"I won't say much about the military souls of Jiangning Camp. In the army, everyone is brothers and takes care of each other. Although there may be conflicts and frictions in getting along on weekdays, but on the battlefield, everyone is brothers of life and death, brothers of iron and blood. Between each other, we can support each other with our lives, no matter how difficult we encounter, we must take care of each other."

"Breathe each other, care about pain and itching, go to the fire together, go through soup and water together, win a toast to give up, lose to save each other, this is the belief that Jiangningying has always insisted on. On the battlefield, swords and swords, Soldiers will be injured, disabled, and lose their lives. It is very important not to abandon or not to give up. Soldiers go out to fight together, and they must come back together. Don't abandon any brother, no matter how difficult the situation is. He lived or died."

"The most important question is why our sergeants fought and died. This question is easy to say, but it is not a simple matter for all soldiers to understand. In a big way, it is to serve the emperor and protect my Ming Dynasty. The stability of the dynasty shows the might of our Ming Dynasty. Anyone who invades our Ming Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away. From a small point of view, it is to protect ourselves and our billions of people of the Ming Dynasty. Among these people, there are us Whether the parents, brothers, wives and children of the soldiers are safe or not depends entirely on our soldiers."

"To form an excellent army, these principles must be implemented. All soldiers must understand that their duties are sacred. In order to protect the country and the safety of the people, they died in battle and their names will go down in history."

"All soldiers, whether they are officers or sergeants, must be registered and recorded. Whoever dies must be recorded in detail, and whoever is injured and disabled must be taken care of so that they have no worries. Their deeds must be publicized vigorously so that The common people understand that a peaceful life comes from the dedication of soldiers."

"The honor of a soldier is paramount. We need to change the previous understanding and let soldiers become the embodiment of honor, the object of respect for everyone, and the object of reverence for the common people."

. . . . . .

The hall was unusually quiet, and no one spoke. These principles are very simple, but they are wise words. As long as the sergeants understand these principles and keep them in their hearts, they will fight desperately.

These words of Su Tiancheng were written into the memorial by Xu Eryi, and sent to the capital at the fastest speed.

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhu Youjian looked at the memorial, Wen Tiren, Sun Chengzong, Yang Sichang and others were also in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Sun Aiqing, what do you think of Su Tiancheng's words?"

"Your Majesty, I think that if Master Su's words can really penetrate into the hearts of the soldiers, this army must be a brave army. The army's soul is the most valuable thing in the army. Apart from the guarantee of the salary, it also needs to have morale. With faith, Mr. Su is well versed in the truth, and I finally understand why the Jiangning Battalion is so brave and good at fighting. I believe that according to this method, the reorganization of the frontier army in Shaanxi will definitely produce the best results."

Zhu Youjian nodded slightly and looked at Wen Tiren.

Wen Tiren's mood is not good recently, and some physical problems have appeared.

"Your Majesty, I think that what Lord Sun said is very true. According to this method, the reorganization of the army will definitely wipe out the bandits and defeat the Golden Tartars..."

There was not much expression on Zhu Youjian's face. Once upon a time, Wen Tiren supported many impeachments in the imperial court, especially against Zhu Shenxuan's participation in the abolition of the guard army, and his words were also very fierce.

"Yang Aiqing, what do you think?"

Yang Sichang looked up.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the experience of dismantling the guards in Shaanxi is worthy of a good summary. It has been fully implemented in the provinces of the Ming Dynasty, North Zhili and South Zhili. His Royal Highness King Jin has made great contributions this time. I suggest that If the matter of dismantling the troops of the guards is fully implemented, His Royal Highness King Jin can take full responsibility..."

Zhu Youjian was really happy. He originally thought that the abolition of the army in Shaanxi might cause a lot of trouble. Unexpectedly, after two months, nothing happened. Xu Eryi, who has been sitting in Shaanxi, has memorials every day. After reporting all the matters concerning the dismantling of the guard army, Zhu Youjian was also very happy when he saw Zhu Shenxuan beheading those vicious guard soldiers. These scum should have been killed a long time ago.

According to the method Su Tiancheng and Zhu Shenxuan came up with, the troops of the Shaanxi guards were abolished. The 30 troops were condensed to 3, and the combat effectiveness was greatly improved, which was enough to protect the safety of Shaanxi and border towns. The expenditure will also be greatly reduced. How could Zhu Youjian not support such a thing.

"My dear friends, I think it is worth summarizing the abolition of the army in Shaanxi. In particular, combining the abolition of the guard army with the construction of the local inspection department has found a way out for the sergeants and stabilized the place. This is very good. The method, so far, has been very stable in Shaanxi, and there are no rogues and post-gold Tartars who took the opportunity to cause chaos. Such methods must be summed up carefully. As for Yang Aiqing's proposal, the dismantling of the army of the guards will be carried out throughout the country. It can be considered, Yang Aiqing, you go to Shaanxi, and together with Xu Aiqing, pay close attention to the dismantling of the army in Shaanxi, focus on the officers in the Xianyang training camp, and see if there is any change in them."

"Sun Aiqing, I still have to tire you out. Think more about it. If we start to abolish the guards in various places in our Ming Dynasty, what should we pay attention to? The situation in each place is different, so we must be cautious."

"As for Jin Wang Zhu Shenxuan's arrangement, I think we'll have to wait for a while. The matter of Shaanxi's abolition of the guards is not over yet, and I still need to see the effect."

This time, the arrangement is the same as before. Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, still doesn’t have much to do, or there is nothing to do. In fact, the cabinet has begun to change. Many things are made by Sun Chengzong, and the emperor is also asking for it. Regarding Sun Chengzong's opinion, there are not many places where he can speak.

Wen Tiren was a little bit reconciled, but there was nothing he could do. He was not too young. He had been in the cabinet for so many years, and he had been the chief assistant of the cabinet for six years. There was no merit but hard work. It's a pity that the emperor didn't look at these things. There is no fundamental improvement in the situation, but the rise of Jiangning County and Henan Province has solved many difficulties faced by the imperial court. The imperial court and Mongolia have started to trade each other, and the income of the imperial court will definitely increase significantly.

All of this is due to Su Tiancheng. Sun Chengzong firmly supported Su Tiancheng. From this point of view, I should know the truth and submit my resignation earlier. The emperor's favorite candidate for the cabinet chief assistant has long been Sun Chengzong.To be continued. , welcome to the starting point
