With the establishment of the Cao family's army, the abolition of the guard system was also put on the agenda.Yes, it was Cao Jiajun, Chongzhen gave this name with a stroke of his pen, which made Cao Huachun cry bitterly, and he couldn't wait to sacrifice his life on the spot to repay Jun's kindness.Chongzhen read the history of the Ming Dynasty in his previous life, and knew that Cao Huachun was actually good at using soldiers, and in such a corrupt situation, Cao Huachun still trained a good army.This army can be described as well-disciplined, brave and good at fighting, and performed well in the history of the late Ming Dynasty.Especially the generals selected by Cao Huachun, all of them are loyal.Among them, Sun Yingyuan and Zhou Yuji were martyred and can be called loyal martyrs, and Huang Degong protected the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty after the death of the Ming Dynasty.At that time, most of the armies of the four towns of Nanming had been warlordized, and only Huang Degong still listened to the orders of the imperial court.Chongzhen believes that Gonggong Cao, who can elect such a general, is trustworthy.But in the previous life, Cao Huachun's army had a tragic ending, so Chongzhen didn't want to mention it, so he gave it a new name, Cao Jiajun.Naturally, after the establishment of the Cao family's army, the world was in an uproar, and the scholars were all resentful, especially the scholars in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions who went to the book one after another, and the imperial historians of the imperial court gathered every day to criticize this move.If it weren't for the fact that Chongzhen had the privacy of many radicals in his hands and used this to threaten him, he was afraid that there would be blood on the big pillars of the court again.But our Emperor Chongzhen is very thick-skinned, no matter how you make trouble, Lao Tzu just ignores you?
When Li Zicheng's army reached Beijing, the troops along the way surrendered one after another and changed their new masters, while the army established by Cao Gonggong was still resisting desperately, what about the face?
Labor and management are going to let a eunuch lead the troops today, and labor and management will return to the Cao family's army, and you will be angry.To tell the truth, the officials of the Ming Dynasty are the most hateful, and the loyal monarch on his mouth shouts louder than anyone else, in fact, he is a loyal fart, not to mention anything else, even the emperor's diet They dare to be perfunctory.In the early Ming Dynasty, the emperor's diet was in charge of Guanglu Temple, and what this institution was best at was to stew a meal with big fish and meat and thick oil red sauce, and use this thing to feed the emperor.So much so that Xie Zhaoqian, a person from the Ming Dynasty, complained: "Today's big officials enter the imperial diet, and there is no treasure or mistake in the diet, but the fish and meat are dungeon, and the thick is better than the ears with burnt boiling." ”Meaning:The things that the emperor eats are all big fish and meat, especially pork, and there is no delicacies from the mountains and seas, and it is not as exquisite and rare as the rich people in the south of the Yangtze River!
Therefore, in the late Ming Dynasty, the emperor refused to eat the food of Guanglu Temple, and the eunuchs were responsible for their diet instead.And how many ingredients does Guanglu Temple consume every year when its cooking skills are poor to a certain level?
100,000 livestock!
Isn't this a pit emperor?
This day, early in the morning.After Chongzhen had breakfast, he summoned Wen Tiren to the Qianqing Palace to discuss the abolition of the guard system.When the monarch and the ministers met, they were polite, and Chongzhen kindly helped his Wen Aiqing up and gave him a seat.Wen Tiren is now slightly accustomed to Chongzhen's style, and sits down calmly, looking at Chongzhen.Chongzhen took a sip of good Pu'er and moistened his throat, "What does Wen Aiqing want to say about the system of this imperial guard?"
”Wen Tiren was shocked in his heart, didn't Your Majesty want to move the guard?
This guard system was set by Emperor Taizu, who would dare to move?
If an unfilial hat is buttoned down, even the emperor can't stand it!
Wen Tiren thought for a while and said, "The guard is a national policy set by Emperor Taizu, because raising soldiers costs too much money and food, but this move can cost the country a penny of food. ”Hehe!
Chongzhen's belly slandered, this Zhu Yuanzhang is really saved!
I don't even want to give up the money and food to raise soldiers, so I can raise a fart elite soldier.Chongzhen put down the tea bowl heavily, and the tea splashed on the ground, "But Wen Qing looks at the current guard, are there still elite soldiers?"
”Wen Tiren hurriedly knelt down, "The minister is stupid and doesn't know much about the generals. ”What an old slippery head, the skill of self-protection is indeed super strong, let labor and management give you a booster!
Chongzhen sneered, "The soldiers of the guard station today probably forgot about even fighting!"
In addition to being able to farm and build houses, he is good at giving people the house. ”"Even many of the soldiers in the guard house didn't even plant the land, and the land that was allocated to the guard back then has basically fallen into the hands of the powerful and rich, right?""
The soldiers lack food and clothing, but they can't find other jobs, they sell clothes and arrows, sell their sons and daughters, and live a life that is inferior to pigs and dogs."
Chongzhen slowed down and continued."
Later, the land of the imperial court saw that the guards could not support these soldiers, and they were also paid, but who received all this money and food?
Why is such a system not abolished?
”Chongzhen slapped the table heavily, "I will abolish this system today, and you will discuss the specific details with the cabinet secretaries, and you don't need to say it at the court meeting, just send a letter." ”Wen Tiren was so excited that he kowtowed heavily, "Long live my emperor!"
Banzai!
Hooray!
”This Wen Tiren's efficiency is really high, and he took out the implementation plan on the second day, Chongzhen looked at it and added a few more.First, the soldiers of the guard station were all disarmed and returned to the fields to fend for themselves.Second, in addition to the principal officials and soldiers, the remaining petty officers and junior generals also returned to the fields to fend for themselves.Thirdly, the existing fields of the guard and the fields of the confiscated Fu Wangfu were distributed to these soldiers for cultivation.Fourthly, the fields were inventoried, and all the fields of the guards that had been swallowed up by the officials and gentry were returned to the disarmed soldiers for cultivation.Fifth, the imperial court paid for the establishment of a recruitment system, and set up five major military camps, named after gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.Naturally, it is difficult for these measures to appease all the soldiers in the guard, but now that the dynasty has accumulated too many evils, it can only do so much first.Soon, the holy decree was issued, and the soldiers in the guard all wept bitterly, although life was still difficult in the future, but they were finally free.As for those officials who made a windfall by relying on the guard system, as well as the officials and the imperial history, the Donglin Zhongzheng were naturally scolded.Chongzhen has to be busy with the former dynasty and the harem, where does he have time to take care of them?
Let them go.In view of the fact that the five battalion armies had not yet been established and the army of the Gongwei Jing Division was insufficient, Chongzhen issued several holy decrees in a row and secretly transferred the local troops, including the white pole army led by General Qin Liangyu.However, this time, Chongzhen will not let her buy the family property like in her previous life, so that she can make up enough military salary.Chongzhen gave her enough silver.For this female general.Chongzhen is very admired, she is not only the only female general canonized by the emperor in Chinese history.He is even more brave and good at fighting, far better than men, and has repeatedly performed miraculous feats on the battlefield, killing anti-thieves and Houjin losing his armor, but in the end he was pitted by friendly forces and the whole army was wiped out.
