The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

In the land that no one cares about, how could those dirty and corrupt officials of the Ming Dynasty not be greedy?

Although they did not dare to openly annex the general field as their own land, they could make various ingenious names and gradually embezzle it.Coupled with the fact that the country has been developed for a long time, landowners have been found on unowned land everywhere, and military land can only be reduced and not expanded.

As a result, the army field decreased day by day, and finally died out.

Military households can no longer guarantee 50 acres, and the treatment of military households has plummeted, and they can't even support their families.

In a word, the core of military issues is still economic issues.

Without money, without military fields, military households have no way to survive, so they evade military service in various ways, use their best labor, start a tertiary industry, and do some small business secretly. The weakest and most incompetent son in the family will He was sent into the army and served as the chief soldier. The other sons all tried to find their own way out.

How can the army of military households be able to fight after such a generation of generations, plus empty pay?

Yan Song has a clear understanding of all this, but he is powerless.

Juntian was not set up by him, but by Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang. Even Zhu Yuanzhang has no ability to guarantee that Juntian will not be invaded. After 170 years of abuse, can Yan Song alone turn the tide?

No.

In Yan Song's view, it is better to draw fire from the bottom of the pot to stop the boiling water, and to solve the problem fundamentally!

It is the reform of the Ming military system!

Completely abolish the corrupt military household system and directly adopt the recruitment system!

The so-called military household system means that your ancestors were military households, and your father, you, your son, and your grandson must all be military households for generations.But the military fields are gone, and the military households cannot support themselves, and they are rotten.

The recruiting system is public recruitment, such as requiring physical strength assessment and combat skill assessment. If you meet the standard, you can eat royal rations and get paid. If you can't meet the target, you don't need it.

An army with a recruiting system can guarantee that every soldier is qualified and has a strong combat power, which is much stronger than military households.

Therefore, Yan Song planned to start in the southeast first!

But there are obstacles to recruiting troops.

It is the military households.

They can't agree, and those so-called Qingliu in the court are even less likely to agree.

There is only one way.

It is to let everyone see clearly the decay of the military household army.

Yan Song simply asked them to make the biggest comparison.

12000 versus 300.

40 to 1, if you lose like this, you have nothing to say, right? .

Chapter 159 Leading the troops out of battle [6]

Hou Fangyu and Wu Weiye gained the command of 12000 soldiers. They were aggressive and began to dictate, asking the army to deploy in accordance with the formations of these "big talents".

After a lot of people turned their backs on their backs, and after the smoky atmosphere, the big soldiers in their early [-]s finally stood in line lazily.

Although they looked at the 300 Japanese pirates, they were a little timid, but at any rate, there were 12000 people, and they were a little more courageous. They lined up and stepped on the footwork to attack and kill the Japanese pirates.

On the top of the city, the elders of Nanjing were jubilant.

Everyone thinks they should be able to win this time.

Although the Japanese pirates' obscenity and prestige have swept across the entire Jiangnan, there are currently 12000 people, and 300 enemies, each with a saliva, can drown them.

Everyone felt that it was safe to win this battle.

Hou Fangyu and Wu Weiye were even more high-spirited, one yelled and set up the [Zhuge Wuhou Eight Diagrams Formation], and the other sacrificed Yue Fei's Star Scattering Formation. In short, they had to compete and pretend to show Li Xiangjun and his daughters.

On the height of the city tower, Yan Song, accompanied by Lu Quan, Gai Nie, and Nie Yinniang, and two mysterious figures beside him, quietly watched Hou Fangyu and Wu Weiye jumping up and down and pretending to be aggressive.

"My lord, is it really safe to do this?" Lu Quan was still a little worried.

The two pretending to be talented and heroic, with feather fans and towels, were about to chat and laugh, and when the mere 300 Japanese pirates and sculls were wiped out, they suddenly heard a roar of birdsong.

Then I saw countless boards suddenly opened on several merchant ships on the Nanjing Wharf, and thousands of Japanese pirates rushed over frantically with shining Japanese swords in their hands.

Hou Fangyu and Wu Weiye only know how to talk about war on paper. Where have they seen such a military situation?Everyone was dumbfounded, with cold sweat on their foreheads.

Another cannon was heard, and several grain ships bearing the banner of Red Rice Shop arrived at the pier behind this big soldier at some time, and only one cannon was heard, and another group of bandits screamed , Killed out.

Although these bandits all wore kimonos and held Japanese swords, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they were all Chinese, "fake Japanese" disguised as real Japanese!

What is a fake Japanese?

The real Japanese are Japanese, and the fake Japanese are Chinese pretending to be Japanese.

Why are these Chinese pretending to be Japanese?

Because in the Ming Dynasty, cooperating with Japanese pirates was a felony, not only to be beheaded if caught, but even family members would be implicated.

Therefore, these fake Japanese who went to sea pretended to be Japanese one after another, so as not to hurt their families.

Yan Song could tell at a glance that these were the members of the Evil Tiger Gang.

"Wang Toutiao, you really persevere..." Yan Song snorted coldly.

At this moment, Hou Fangyu and Wu Weiye were really stupid.

They only talk about wars on paper. Where have they seen real wars?
