"Xianggong, drink tea" Ming'er held a cup of fragrant tea, and walked to Xia Xun's side, her waist was as soft as Liu Duo'er, her gait was extremely graceful, Xia Xun didn't raise her head, "um" and said: "Let's put it aside first" Xia Xun was revising the materials he had used to persuade the emperor and his ministers, and the controversy over the ethnic policy in Liaodong in the previous two days had sounded the alarm bell for him at the right time, and he had noticed that the persuasive power of overemphasizing how his policy would be beneficial for the future was very limited.
What he feared did not have much influence on Liaodong at present, and there was no strong local armed force there that was not directly controlled by the imperial court.
Six hundred years ago, when the population was sparse and the imperial court had to make great efforts to immigrate everywhere to enrich the barren areas, you should tell them that it would be unrealistic to avoid being forced to practice family planning in order to avoid overcrowding in a few hundred years.
Even in modern times, countries with negative population growth have to do everything possible to develop various welfare policies to motivate people to have more children.
Different problems lead to different solutions.
When you have just invented plastic bags, everyone thinks it is convenient and handy, and you can't imagine what a headache it will cause in the future, you will speak out about the environmental protection of plastic bags, and there will inevitably be few responses.
Policies should change according to the times and the situation, and ideas that are too advanced lack a mass base.
If you stand in the shoes of a time-traveler, always thinking about problems for future generations, and ignoring the needs of the present generation, you will become an enemy of society, become nothing, and no one will support you.
Xia Xun has now created conditions for change as much as possible in Liaodong, but if he wants to promote greater change, he must make all levels of society feel that it is really necessary to make a big change that hurts the bones and bones, which cannot be done, even if the emperor fully supports it, it will definitely end in failure.
Wang Anshi's change is fully supported by the emperor, Wang Mang's change, he himself is the emperor, what is the result "Xianggong, eat some cherries" Ming'er took another plate of freshly washed red cherries and handed it to Xia Xun.
"Hmm-hmm" Xia Xun responded absentmindedly and continued to follow his own train of thought to think about the problem.
When Ming'er saw it, she couldn't help but feel lost.
In the past few days, Xianggong has been pestering her, and the frequency of bed joy is too high, which makes her a little unbearable.
As a result, tonight, it was rare for her husband to calm down and think about business, and he left her aside, and she was a little uncomfortable.
So, she deliberately walked around Xia Xun, wandered around for a while, saw that Xianggong had no distractions, Ming'er rolled her eyes, and then went around Xia Xun's back, a pair of pink fists gently hit his shoulder, and said diligently: "Xianggong works hard, people will beat your shoulders" Xia Xun put down the notebook in his hand, looked back and said with a smile: "Why do you leave the lady in the cold, a little unhappy, do you want to accompany your husband to do something interesting?"
Ming'er was startled, she just likes to pester Xianggong and get tired of talking to him, as for the bed, at her age, she is really not very hungry and thirsty, with Xia Xun's excessive needs, she can't afford it at all, otherwise she wouldn't take the initiative to want her personal girl to serve Xianggong last time, at this time, when she heard Xia Xun say this, she was so shocked that she turned around and fled: "Don't, Xianggong is doing a good job, people are obedient, people are looking for my sister to chat" Xia Xun shook his head and smiled: "This Nizi" In the hall, Xia Xun, who had made full preparations, talked eloquently: "The northern Tartars, since the Han and Tang Dynasties, have been the trouble of my Central Plains for more than a thousand years.
However, the grassland is as vast as the sea, and the tribes migrate from water to grass, and there is no fixed place to live, whether it is annihilation or complete conquest, it is difficult to ascend to the sky.
With the might of the Han Dynasty, he exhausted the power of the country and destroyed countless families, but it only slightly weakened its prestige, and it didn't take long for it to resurge."
Xia Xun's words, all the civil and military forces thought so.
These evil neighbors on the grassland come uninvited, you scold it, people have no skin and no face, they don't care at all.
If you fight, if there are fewer soldiers, it will send sheep into the mouth of the tiger, and if there are more soldiers, they will smear oil on the soles of their feet, slip away, and lead you to walk on the grassland, and drag your soldiers tired and the country thin, you have to take the initiative to withdraw the troops, otherwise they can drag you to death.
For such an enemy, the imperial court has no good way.
In the War of Resistance against Japan, the Kou also had a terrible headache for the guerrilla areas, and he was in a hurry, and he could still adopt the three-light policy, but the central government could not even use the three-light policy when dealing with the northern nomadic tribes.
Xia Xun said: "And Yanshan is to shield the northern grassland barbarian peoples to ride horses south, invading the Central Plains to disturb the north gate of my Ming Dynasty, Liaodong, is built on the right wing of the north gate of a strong acropolis, and the north gate of my Ming Dynasty is a horn and help each other."
As long as Liaodong is there, retreating can prevent the Tatars from colluding with the Jurchens and North Korea, and can directly hit the Tartars' abdominal ribs, so it does not dare to go south. ” Liu Chao, the waiter of the Ministry of Travel, frowned and said: "What Guogong said is extremely true, Liaodong and my Northern Ming Dynasty are very important, and the ministers also know it deeply.
However, what the Guogong said is necessarily related to the reform of the military tun and military household system advocated by the Guogong?"
"Of course there is" Xia Xun glanced at him with great satisfaction, this old guy is very cooperative, this question is asking the point, Xia Xun is in high spirits, and immediately continued his topic: "Liaodong is so important to my Ming Dynasty, and it is equally important to the Tartars, if the Tartars want to map the Central Plains, they must first seek Liaodong, please ask Lord Shilang, I want to protect Liaodong, in the final analysis, what strength do you have to rely on?"
"Army" Although Liu Chao is a literati, such a simple question can be answered without consideration.
Xia Xun said: "Yes, the army guards Liaodong, and the army needs the army to defend Liaodong, what do you need?"
Without waiting for Liu Chao to answer, Xia Xun said: "First, combat power; The second is to provide for what I said, which is aimed at these two issues."
Xia Xun turned to the ministers and said: "Let's talk about the supplies first, the supply of the army, there are armor and military clothes, feathers and arrows, swords, guns and horses, the most important of which is the military food and the military food can not be self-sufficient, which is the biggest weakness of the Liaodong garrison."
Qiu Fu said coldly: "Hasn't the Duke of Fuguo already opened up a sea channel now?"
Xia Xun replied with a smile: "What Qi Guogong said is that we now have a sea lane, and we are not afraid of being cut off by the Tartars.
However, there are still three problems in the sea waterway: first, the sea channel cannot solve the consumption of grain transportation from the south to the north, and the heavy pressure on the people in the south; Second, the climate is impermanent, especially in winter, and it is impossible to transport grain and grass during the closure period, and sea transportation can only be used as a necessary supplement to land transportation, not the only means; Third, it is still related to the climate, even if it is not in the freezing period, if there is a heavy rain and strong wind at sea, the shipping will have to be temporarily stopped, and if the future of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who are alone in Liaodong are all pinned on the road of shipping, wouldn't it be dangerous?"
Qiu Fu snorted and did not speak.
Xia Xun said: "Since Taizu was stationed in Liaodong, he has paid attention to growing grain in the tuntian, hoping that Liaodong will be self-sufficient in grain and grass.
At first, the effect was good, but now it is gradually not suitable for the development of Liaodong.
Juntun, land and output, are all state-owned, in the military tun, seven or eight out of ten, tunfu tenths of two, although the tunfu is in the military, in fact, it is no different from the peasantry.
And these tunmen did the same thing as ordinary peasants, and every time they were hoeing, they toiled hard, and the harvest they obtained was not much left except for the payment of grains, which was worse than that of the tenants of the landlord's family, like domestic slaves who had nothing, and therefore, they must have to get by.
The more wasteland is cultivated, the more they are affected, and who is willing to reclaim it No matter how badly the crops are grown, they will not starve to death, because they eat military rations; No matter how well the crops are grown, they will not be rich, also because they eat military rations; Tunfu naturally does not want to grow up, as soon as he has the opportunity, or flee, or resist, and now there are even people born in Liao is better than to walk in Hu's words, so that the fields are barren, the tuntian is completely wasted, the source of income is exhausted, and the armament of Liaodong is gradually abandoned, which is anyone's fault Therefore, the ministers advised His Majesty to further reduce the number of soldiers and increase the number of soldiers with the current Liaodong garrison, which is now seven or eight out of ten to prepare for military affairs, and one-tenth of the proportion of tun seeds and salt and iron.
The additional tunfu turned into a military nationality and a civilian nationality, specializing in farming, and owning his own land.
Since ancient times, those who do not eat are cowardly, those who are not good at business are resentful, those who are unfavorable to business are hated, and those who are not in power are left.
They must do everything they can to cultivate the fields for their wives and children, and the grain they collect can be used for the Liaodong garrison, and the surplus grain produced by the peasants is purchased on the spot, which is much cheaper than buying and transporting it from the customs.
There are more Han people, and my Ming government will be more effective in controlling Liaodong, and the most important thing is that when the Tartars plot to seize Liaodong, they will cut off my grain route. ” Xia Xun said reasonably, everyone couldn't find a reason to refute for a while, and when he saw that the scene was a little cold, he coughed and said: "Then what does this Tuntian system have to do with the reform of military households?"
Xia Xun glanced at him meaningfully and said: "Luo Shangshu, I have already said that in order to do this, the military tun must be changed to the civilian tun, and some of those who are in the military must be classified as the civilian register, which will inevitably promote the change of the military household system."

What's more, the military household system is not a way to pass through the centuries, reach the frontier, and try all things. ” Xia Xun knows that when it comes to the reform of the army, that is, he is calling for Qiu Fu, a group of generals, and the country has not been established for a long time, and there have been no major drawbacks in the military household system, if it is said to be useless, or if you want to eat a fat man in one bite, and change the old system in the country, the resistance is too great, I am afraid that even if it can be done, it will have to be pulled for a few years, so he is very wise to fix the scope in Liaodong.
Because Liaodong is special, it needs to be reformed, as long as it can be passed, it is an example.
When it shows greater vitality than the traditional policy in actual work, there is no shortage of people of insight in the court, and the emperor is not a faint king, so he will naturally think of implementing this method in other places, Xia Xun even drew up a way out for himself, if it cannot be done in one step, then the military household system and the conscription system will be mixed, one place, two systems, and peaceful evolution, otherwise there will be a big change in the millions of troops across the country at once, and the resettlement of those families who have been abolished and changed to civilian households is a big problem.
Xia Xun said: "The advantages of the military household system are very clear to everyone, the military household is hereditary, which can ensure the supply of soldiers, and there is no shortage of soldiers, so it can maintain a relatively large army."
At the same time, if it raises a professional army of more than one million, the burden on the imperial court is too heavy, and the military expenditure is relatively light, which is its advantage.
The disadvantage is that one life is a soldier, the world is a soldier, and the children of a soldier family have no other way out, and they will be resentful and slandered over time.
In addition, the status of military households is too low, especially the land divided by Taizu, with the reproduction of heirs of military families, gradually increasing, they can no longer afford to support their families, and they are confined to military status, and they cannot do other livelihoods. ” Xia Xun glanced at the ministers and said in a deep voice: "This point, I don't need to say more, just take the statistics of the imperial court, when Hongwu was three years old, the number of fugitive sergeants reached it."
Xia Xun glanced at the wat board in his hand and said, "Forty-seven thousand nine hundred and eighty-six people, this is the number counted and announced by the imperial court, you should have no objections."
This is all a fact, in fact, over the years, the desertion of military households and soldiers has intensified, and the imperial court has paid more and more attention to the household registration system Xia Xun said: "Therefore, the minister thinks that it is not appropriate to completely implement the military household system.
Especially in Liaodong, most of the military households come from the mainland, far away from their hometowns, but from then on, they have to take root there, and they cannot leave again for the rest of their lives, and the hearts of the army and the people are even more difficult to determine.
The attached Liaodong tribes are not in the Ming Army, and they can never serve as our Ming officers and soldiers, which is not conducive to their policy of being used by us and completely integrated.
Therefore, in Liaodong, some changes should be made to the military household system."
Qiu Fu asked again: "Then, in the opinion of the auxiliary country, how should the military system of Liaodong be changed?"
As long as Xia Xun didn't ride on his head and pointed fingers, he only tossed around on the one-acre three-point land in Liaodong, Qiu Fu was still unwilling to confront Xia Xun who was more and more favored in the emperor at the moment.
Xia Xun showed a slight smile on his face, and said in a loud voice: "From the pre-Qin and Han dynasties to the current army building strategy, there are roughly conscription systems, government military systems, and conscription systems."
Xia Xun has made enough preparations, and this remark, from the pre-Qin period to the present, the advantages and disadvantages of various military systems are clearly stated.
In the early Tang Dynasty, the government army system was used to raise government soldiers, and this system was carried forward, but as soon as the army system was destroyed, the government soldiers disappeared, and now there are no conditions for implementation.
In other words, the only two policies available were conscription and conscription, which mainly started in the Eastern Han Dynasty and was replaced by the government military system in the middle, and then carried forward again in the Song Dynasty, which proved to be unsuccessful.
In those years, good men were not soldiers, and the recruitment system of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Song Dynasty eventually led to a continuous decline in the quality of soldiers, and military discipline was corrupted, and it was impossible to fight at all.
Xia Xun's solution is that the main body adopts the conscription system, and partly adopts the characteristics of the conscription system, establishing an elite standing corps, while partially retaining the military household system, which is similar to the forbidden army and the box army of the Song Dynasty, but it is not the same.
When Zhu Di raised the army and was in trouble, because of the shortage of soldiers, he once implemented a conscription system, and recruited young and strong people from Beiping, Baoding, and Yongping to serve in the army, and the people may not be willing to be soldiers, especially in that case, it is actually a compulsory conscription, which was only stopped after he ascended the throne.
In actual history, the Ming Empire's army construction system was not immutable, and later the change of the civil fort, the army was lost, and Emperor Ming Jing had recruited volunteers from all over the world.
In the future, such as the Qi family army built by Qi Jiguang's recruitment, and the Yu family army built by Yu Dayou's recruitment, they can all be called strong forces.
The combat effectiveness of the legions composed of conscripted soldiers is generally much higher than that of the military household corps, which is not only clear to Zhu Di, but also to the generals present.
Therefore, as soon as Xia Xun said this, Zhu Di immediately understood the advantages and disadvantages of this military reform, and he was greatly moved.
In fact, his main psychological obstacle now is not that he has ideas about the military system reform proposed by Xia Xun, but that he is worried about two points, one is to change the ancestral system, and at present, there is no serious situation that affects the army and military strength, and the imperial court needs to make major changes, and the other point is that military spending is bound to be much larger than the military household system.
Therefore, although Xia Xun had fully expounded his advantages, Zhong Wenwu could not put forward a strong reason for opposition for a while, Zhu Di was still a little hesitant and could not make this decision immediately.
After Xia Xun finished speaking, the rest of the ministers did not have any opinions to express, Zhu Di said: "What Yang Qing said is reasonable, but the system of the army, the major affairs of the country, must not be cautious, this matter is not in a hurry to decide, after Zhong Aiqing goes back, he will think about it, weigh the pros and cons, and make a decision after three days."
When Zhu Di made this conclusion, Liu Songgeng, the judge of the Korean household, had just crossed the Yalu River.
And in Kaiyuan City, under the deliberate instigation and instigation of Hohelu and others, a riot also began.
Under the planning of Amur and others, the tribesmen living in the various forts have spread rumors, deliberately incited, and directly and indirectly participated, which has already stirred up tensions between the various ethnic forces.
The secret agents led by Zuo Dan are just a group of spies directly subordinate to Xia Xun, although they are staring at the actions of Amur and others, but they did not realize that some of the quarrels and brawls involved in the "Huaguna" tribesmen before the incident are the conspiracy they are planning, because of the quarrels between various ministries, there have been before, the people of the "Huaguna tribe" have worked for a short time, and the groups they participate in have conflicts with other groups, this kind of behavior is too hidden, and it is not appropriate to detect the deeper purpose.
And it was impossible for Zuo Dan and them to go directly to Zhang Jun or Si Hanchao, so that they would know that Xia Xun still had such a secret force by his side.
As a result, the constant friction caused a tense atmosphere in Yueyi, and Huhelu, a guy who helped the Han merchants to work, deliberately stimulated and provoked the merchants from Hada City to hurt people.
The mixed "Huaguna" people fanned the flames, added fuel to the fire, and the traders who came from Hada City were hot-headed and resentful, and the brawl escalated again, turning into a smashing and looting of the Han merchants, and when the blood and wealth sparked people's eyes, the riot was uncontrollable To be continued:
