Chapter 968 of the main text of the Ming Dynasty. The enemy's combat thinking about first rituals and then soldiers is actually complementary to the new recruit system.

Especially in response to the current situation in the north, Mongolia is no longer a climate, and the Jurchens have not yet been unified. They are all tribes or small regimes. Then the advantage of the Ming Dynasty against any regime in the north is the depth of the Ming Dynasty. No matter how cruel you are, this slap will not kill me.

Then the current strategic thinking is to take the initiative to show goodwill first, and I occupy the commanding heights morally. In this case, as long as you slap it, I will take your life.

As long as one party takes action, then don’t be able to.

The truth is that you will definitely not be able to kill me, but if I want to gather the whole country, I will definitely be able to kill you.

This is actually a threat strategy of big sticks and red dates, which increases the cost of the other party launching a war. You should consider it clearly before fighting.

It can also be seen that the problems of the Ming Dynasty have always been internal, not external. In this era of navigation, the real threat is actually in the West, but the West has just risen now and has no capital to fight the Ming Dynasty across the ocean.

There is enough time for the Ming Dynasty.

Then as long as the internal stability is stable, all external problems will not be a problem. Guo Danzhen did not take them to heart.

As long as you do your best, they either join or die, and there is no third choice. If you can't do it well, you don't need to bother others' Jurchens, even the soldiers at the post station can destroy you.

For the Central Plains dynasty, the internal one is always the most critical.

Then reform is naturally the top priority.

Zhu Yuanzhang once said proudly: "I raise a million soldiers and do not spend a grain of rice on the people."

The vassal system he was proud of was actually improved by referring to the government system of the Sui and Tang dynasties. Of course, the outcome of the two was also highly similar, both because of land annexation and the humble status of soldiers, which led to a sluggish morale, low combat effectiveness, and a large number of soldiers fled, and then entered a vicious cycle, inevitably moving towards the recruitment system.

Unless there is another land redistribution, it is impossible to return to the ward.

But looking at history, the prerequisite for land redistribution is that it must go through a war and the establishment of a new regime to promote land reform. Otherwise, this would be an impossible task.

One of the key reasons why Guo Dan was able to promote his reform was that no matter where he was, he encouraged the annexation of the land. He encouraged the farmer to count the illegal land of the farmer as their legal land.

On this basis, the landlords are willing to cooperate with him and make some compromises on this, such as eliminating the tenant farming system.

Of course, Guo Dan himself is very willing to do this. If everyone has land, how can industry and commerce develop? In addition, everyone grows grain and has the same goods in their hands, the space for transactions is very small and cannot form a commodity economy.

In this case, the Weishu system officially entered the process of dying death.

A military system reform led by Fang Fengshi kicked off in Liaodong Town.

The first thing is to establish a new system.

The first step is to enhance the power of the general, and the command of the army belongs to the general.

After all, there are only so many troops. If the general is restricted, it will be impossible to fight.

In the past, every military town had eunuchs and military supervisors, but now this system will be abandoned, and Wanli will no longer send eunuchs and military supervisors.

Although the general gained power, Wanli took all the finances through Guo Dan's means.

Military pay was uniformly allocated by the court, and the soldiers went to Yinuo Money House to collect it themselves.

The grain and grass are controlled by Yinuo Grain Store.

Logistics will also be handed over to Fengchi Group.

In other words, the general is only responsible for leading the troops to fight, and does not care about anything else.

There is no need to send eunuchs to supervise the army.

Of course, Wanli would still send eunuchs to the house, but he was guarding the treasury and was responsible for keeping accounts. Like other places, almost all the treasurys were managed by Wanli people, but the right to use was in the hands of Guo Dan.

This made Li Rumei and the others feel a little relieved, at least there would not be eunuchs to teach him how to fight.

This military order is still in the hands of the emperor, and the general cannot decide to start a war on his own. After all, the war is just a continuation of politics. Whether to fight or not has to be decided by the emperor and civil servants.

Secondly, strengthening grassroots management is a combination of recruitment and recruitment. Once a war occurs, it will immediately enter a state where everyone is a soldier. Therefore, under the general, a huge grassroots organization will be established to mobilize the people to participate in the war.

This grassroots organization was formed by local gentry and landlords.

Guo Dan’s intention to make this arrangement is very simple. He just depends on whoever will suffer the greatest losses if Liaodong is lost.

Speaking of national honors, this is really a bit vain. Who can guarantee what they are thinking? Guo Dan only believes in interests. On the one hand, he gives large-scale tax exemption, helps them build a farm product market, and then tells them that what you do now is defending all your interests.

Finally, to strengthen military training and military discipline, a complete set of training systems must be established to ensure that every soldier is fully trained.

Although these matters were discussed by Guo Dan and Fang Fengshi, they were all hosted by Fang Fengshi, and Guo Dan himself was mainly responsible for external publicity.

There is no need to talk about any system for publicity, let’s talk about money.

Abandoned military households, new treatment.

Almost in an instant, a profession that was once despised by everyone and the people were disgusted by them immediately became a hot commodity.

There is no better career in the world.

This made the Liaodong soldiers very worried about gains and losses. In the past, they were forced to join the army, but now!

Boss! I want to stay!

But this is often not their turn. For these ten thousand standing troops, they must ensure that they are skilled in bows and horses and rich in combat experience. In terms of true strength, the generals have the strongest family soldiers, and most of the people who stay in office are these family soldiers.

But once the family soldiers remain in office, they will become national army, because the generals are no longer the generals, but the country.

So what should I do if I retreated and got the soldiers?

If you don't care, it will cause a series of social problems.

Guo Dan only made one move to this point, that is, to build a large-scale construction.

With the reduction of troops, the fortifications must be strengthened, and the fortifications must be modified specifically for the popularization of artillery. Therefore, Guo Dan immediately summoned some people to build these fortifications. Of course, this is to be paid, not slavery.

Fengchi Group will build a large port and a shipyard here.

In addition, Yinuo Grain Store also needs to recruit a lot of people.

These are all planned long ago.

However, all this was simply lightning speed for the ministers in the court.

It's really too fast.

They had predicted in advance that the emperor might have to rectify the army, and all the three giants of the Ministry of War were dispatched, so there must be big moves.

But they never expected that the emperor wanted to subvert the entire military system and was already in the process of execution.

There was no meeting held in the DPRK on this.

The ministers didn't know what the reform was going on, so they could only inquire by themselves.

When they learned that Guo Dan would set up Yinuo Grain Store, it was a bolt from the blue!

Because many ministers in the court are closely related to the interests of border towns, they have to make a fortune for every military pay they allocated. Once the Ministry of Revenue directly distributes military pay through Yinuo Money House and Yinuo Grain Bank, how can they make money?

This will harm the interests of the entire interest group.

Moreover, the abolition of the military and craftsmen system is contrary to the ancestral system.

Later, the posthumous thought they began to make a frantically report, demanding that the emperor stop reforming immediately and convene a court meeting to discuss the matter.

But Wanli hid in the deep palace and refused to come out.

He had already considered this matter very thoroughly, and he wanted to change it. Since that's the case, why bother going out to talk to them?

He is going to drag now.

Wuqing Hou Mansion.

"This is a conspiracy! All of this is a conspiracy!"

Mo Ruoyou was so excited.

Chen Yinzhao said depressedly: "We should have thought that it was no secret that Guo Dan gave away shares. Then Li Chengliang was already the major shareholder of the Grand Canyon. Why did he suddenly start to make trouble? He still knew the details of the transaction so clearly. This must have been done by His Majesty on purpose."

“But it’s too late.”

Li Gao sighed and said, "Based on the current situation, Your Majesty has completely controlled Liaodong Town, and Jizhou and Xuanfu are also following Liaodong and carrying out military reforms, so other border towns are unable to make up for the situation."

They were originally closely related to those big landlords, and they also had land in the local area. This tax exemption must have been relied on the emperor.

Controlling these three major military towns, there is no dare to make trouble in other military towns. Moreover, if they want to make trouble, the soldiers will make trouble in their own way, because Wanli and Guo Dan have arranged people to go to major military towns to promote the recruit system.

Such good treatment is like going from hell to heaven, and the soldiers must be on the side of the emperor.

Just then, he walked in alone and said a few words in Chen Yinzhao's ear.

"This is serious?"

Chen Yinzhao's face was shocked.

The man said, "It's true?"

Li Gao asked, "What happened?"

Chen Yinzhaodao: "The fishermen and farmers in Jianchang believed that the Fengchi Group occupied the river and destroyed the local fishery, animal husbandry and agricultural irrigation. So in anger, they destroyed the Fengchi Group's port in Jianchang and burned the Fengchi Group's warehouse built in the local area."

Li Gao couldn't help but look shocked

Qianqing Palace.

"Is it really the public grievance caused by Fengchi Group's occupation of the river?"

Wanli asked with a gloomy face.

Tian Yidao: "Report to Your Majesty, there are many forces involved in this matter, including the main transportation of canals, and local salt merchants, and perhaps even the Jingwang Mansion."

Dong Ping said: "Your Majesty, according to the current news, the situation in the south may not be optimistic. According to what we have learned, the canal transportation may be a sudden stop, and the salt merchants also stopped selling salt to facilitate panic, and then use this to force Your Majesty to punish Fengchi Group."

Zhang Cheng immediately said: "If this is the case, it would be terrible. At present, many ministers and powerful officials in the court are dissatisfied with the reform of the military system? They are very likely to support the canal transportation."

Wanli asked, "What actions did Yinuoyaxing do?"
