Zhao Ming dragged a large number of people to Jintang Island, and a large number of people gathered, making the island visceral and easy to cause diseases.On the fifth day of the first month of September, Zhao Ming ordered the military households on the island to carry out a major cleaning of the stockades and shantytowns.Each household sweeps his own house, and the streets, ditches, etc., are cleaned by a lot, and each man also washes himself and excretes at a fixed point.Zhao Ming originally thought that this was something that could be done very easily, but he didn't want to end up wasting a lot of words.This made Zhao Ming decide to set up a discipline department to carry out propaganda on various affairs, as well as supervision, and cooperate with the suppression department, one for prevention and mobilization, and one responsible for punishment.It took a day to clean up the island, burn the garbage, fertilize the fields, and create a new environment.In fact, in the Jiangnan area, the people have been very particular about their living environment, the streets of each city are often cleaned, and the garbage in the city is also collected and disposed of, but after escaping to the island, it is still difficult to survive, and the people are mixed, so everyone doesn't care much.Now that it is clean, everyone only feels refreshed, and everyone's temperament and mental outlook are different.Chen Mingyu and others, walking on the street and seeing the clean road, have a feeling in their hearts that they are gradually treating Jintang Island as their home, as if they have returned to the small town in the south of the Yangtze River.At this time, Chen Mingyu, Ma Shiao and others came to the mansion of the commander of the capital, and were led into Zhao Ming's study by the soldiers.The city was cleaned, and both of them changed into clean clothes, wore square scarves on their heads, and smiled when they entered the house: "See the big handsome!"
”Zhao Ming was pondering the establishment of the army, as well as the training of the horse army, sailors, and artillery teams, when he heard the words, he raised his head and asked, "Is the household registration count of military households completed?"
”Chen Mingyu made a gesture to Zhao Ming, and then took out a copy of the text from his sleeve and presented it: "Dashuai, the new population has been counted, 6,700 military households have been registered, and 300 artisan households have been registered!"
There are 10,000 strong men, old and weak women and children, more than 50,000 people!
”Zhao Ming sighed, took the booklet and looked at it, and then asked, "Isn't the population controlled by the commander of the capital nearly 700,000?"
”Chen Mingyu said: "There are not so many, only more than 650,000 people!"
”Zhao Ming frowned and said: "Ben Shuai remembers that the previous statistics have exceeded 600,000, why less?"
”Chen Mingyu said: "It is because there are a group of military households who can't stand the difficult conditions of Ryukyu, and they are dissatisfied with the annexation of Zhoushan by the marshal, so they fled to Fujian, and the military households are not adapted to the climate, and many people have died of illness, so they have lost some people!"
”Zhao Ming annexed Huang Binqing's subordinates, purged and exiled Huang Binqing's henchmen, many of whom lost their original status and were sent to Taiwan to open up wasteland, and they were not angry, so they broke away from the Zhejiang Command Department and fled to Fujian.Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "Taiwan has just been developed, and the conditions are really not good, but this commander doesn't want to have any more military escapes!"
”Zhao Ming looked down a few more times, felt that there was no problem, and then said to Ma Shiao: "Since the statistics have been completed, then Mr. will select the soldiers and then let them participate in the training." ”In the command of the envoys in Zhejiang, the soldiers are divided into two categories, one is the soldiers, and the other is the tun army.The soldiers are divided into nine levels, belonging to the full-time army, there is a salary to get, the tun army is the original military household, regarded as a reserve, the main responsibility is tuntian, generally do not pay military salaries, only in wartime it is possible to give some silver.This time, with Zhao Ming came to Zhoushan's righteous army, there were old, weak, sick and disabled, Zhao Ming hoped to be able to screen, and the elite would be incorporated into the soldiers, and the old and weak would be incorporated into the tun army.Ma Shiao saluted and said: "Marshal, among the rebels, there are many generals, what if they are unwilling to accept the reorganization?"
”Zhao Ming frowned and said, "Then let them get out!"
”In the army of the Ming Dynasty, the system of family members prevailed, and in order to maintain their own status, the generals used most of the money and grain they received to support their families, resulting in the deduction of the salaries of ordinary soldiers, and the soldiers were resentful and unwilling to fight and train, resulting in low combat effectiveness of the army.Although the Jiading were strong in battle, and some of them were not even inferior to the Manchurian soldiers, their numbers were too small to help no matter how much they could fight.In addition, the family relied on the generals to obtain far better treatment than ordinary soldiers, and the generals maintained their status through the family members, blackmailed the court, and was not swayed by others.The imperial court gave money and grain, and allocated military fields, the purpose was to raise an army that could be used by the imperial court, but in the end, it helped the generals adopt a group of private soldiers, and the soldiers were not loyal to the imperial court, and the generals were too big to obey the orders of the imperial court.The family is attached to the generals, and the money and food are distributed by the generals, so they will naturally only be loyal to the generals, and the court is equal to both people and money.Zhao Ming was not prepared to re-follow the old path of the Ming army, so the family system must be abolished.However, the family system has been deeply rooted in the Ming army, and it is related to the vital interests of generals and family members, but it is not so easy to abolish it.The generals relied on the family to eat empty salaries and encroach on the land, while the family relied on the generals to get more money and grain, and the interests of both sides reached and formed small interest groups, which was not so easy to break.Ma Shiao heard the words, but he didn't answer, because he knew that this was obviously angry talk.The most powerful person in the Ming army is the family ding, how can they let them get out.After Zhao Ming finished speaking, he was silent for a while, looked at Ma Shiao for a while, and pondered: "Now those generals should have no money in their hands to support these families."
When reorganizing, it is necessary to be skillful, and people with ulterior motives must not be allowed to incite many family members.After the reorganization, the family members are the same as ordinary soldiers, they all belong to the soldiers, and the treatment and status are the same, but the soldiers have nine levels, if they really have the ability, they are really elite, they can pass the assessment, and become the superior soldiers, and the treatment is far higher than that of the inferior soldiers.Ben Shuai believes that as long as there is no arrears of wages, the reorganization will not touch the interests of the vast majority of the family, and the key is that the generals will lose the opportunity to eat empty quotas and drink the blood of soldiers!
”The family and the generals are an interest group, there are many family members, and there are few generals, Zhao Ming decided to maintain the interests of the vast majority of the family members, in exchange for them at least not opposing the reorganization, then the generals are not a single pole, and they can't provoke any storms.Zhao Ming decided to unite the majority, defeat a small hand, and make as many people on his side as possible, and as few as the opposing people, this reorganization can be carried out.Zhao Ming paused, and said with a calm face: "If there are generals, they really can't accept the reorganization, and the commander will not keep him, and the commander will not keep people in the army who think about eating empty salaries and drinking the blood of soldiers!"
”Ma Shiao heard this, clasped his fists and saluted, and said solemnly: "I understand my humble position!"
”Zhao Ming bowed, "Then do it, after the non-commissioned officers complete the screening and level assessment, there are still things waiting for Mr. to train the horse army training artillery team, and the adjustment of the establishment is waiting for Mr. to do!"
