The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Zhang Siwei was a little nervous, and he also knew that this meal was the key to whether he could be promoted to elder.

What?Ting push?See beans?

Let me wipe it, it's all superficial articles, okay?

The last time Yang Bo and Xu Jie competed for the cabinet position, Xu Jie had 33 beans and Yang Bo only had 12. What happened?

Under Yan Ge's operation, Xu Jie was reprimanded by Jiajing, and Yang Bo joined the cabinet!

There are few beans, so what's the matter?

From then on, Yang Bo and the entire Jin Party admired Yan Song completely!

As long as Yan Song nods, there is nothing the court cannot do.

This time Zhang Siwei entered the cabinet, and he also faced fierce competition-Gao Gong and Li Chunfang were much stronger than him.

So Yang Bo didn't think about anything else at all, and took Zhang Siwei straight to Yan Song's "New Year's greetings", which was actually a visit to the pier and the boss.

Zhang Siwei cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Yan Ge, my subordinate..."

"Ziwei (Zhang Siwei's character)" Yan Song smiled: "Today's New Year's Eve, we don't care about seniority, we only care about seniority. You can call me uncle."

Yang Bo and Zhang Siwei almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Zhang Siwei's name is Uncle Yan Song?

In fact, Yan Song's age is about the same as Zhang Siwei's.Who made Yan Song succeed in the officialdom at a young age and make it to the top?

In the officialdom, the official rank crushes people to death.Zhang Siwei is the Shangshu, Yan Song is the chief assistant, don't call him an uncle, he will do it as a grandpa!

Without hesitation, Zhang Siwei rushed forward and called out: "Uncle!"

Yang Bo slapped him across the face: "Uncle shit, call me uncle!"

Zhu Dashou was dumbfounded.

Zhang Siwei's majestic Minister of the Ministry of War, in the eyes of the people, he is definitely a big shot.

Such a person actually bowed his knees and called him Uncle Yan Song?

But Zhang Siwei immediately changed his words: "Master!"

Zhu Dashou covered his face.

Yan Song, Uncle Yan...

I can't bear to look directly at it.

Yan Song was not polite, and smiled lightly: "Okay. Although we are about the same age, I and your uncle Yang Bo are brothers. It is appropriate for you to call me uncle. I will drink this glass of wine .”

Zhang Siwei said with a smile: "Master, I'm a junior to do it first!"

He drank it all.

Yan Song just touched his lips slightly, then put it down.

This is the aura of the superior.

Zhang Siwei lowered his voice and said, "Master, let me report on the reform of the Ministry of War."

"Two years ago, after the end of the Mongolian War, according to your request, I repeatedly wrote to Qi Jiguang, Ma Sanduo, Yu Dayou, Hu Zongxian and other important military officials to solicit their opinions on military reform. All the famous generals have proposed revisions. After changing its draft three times, we have come up with a preliminary reform plan.”

He solemnly took out a memorial [Daming Military System Reform Plan].

Yan Song brought it over.

In fact, Yan Song, Qi Jiguang and others have already planned and discussed this military system reform many times.

If Ming Dynasty wants to enrich the country and strengthen the army, the reform of the military system is imperative.

···············

The military household system of the Ming Dynasty had completely disintegrated with the collapse of the military farm system.

The military household system built on military fields has long existed in name only due to the massive occupation of military fields.It's just that the Ming court still refused (or didn't dare) to admit this matter, and continued to implement the military household system in a self-deceiving manner.

What is going on with this military household system?

To put it simply, it means that the country serves as a soldier. Not everyone can join the army with honor. Only those with military household registration can select their children to serve as soldiers.

The control madman Zhu Yuanzhang assigned jobs and identities to everyone in Ming Dynasty. Once determined, they could not be changed for the rest of their lives, even for their children and grandchildren.

...............

In fact, it is fair to say that at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the treatment of military households was good, which is one of the reasons why the Ming Dynasty was able to quickly sweep the country.

The turmoil in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty led to the emptiness of ten rooms in the world, large areas of land left unused, and unowned land everywhere.Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that a considerable part of the land in the whole world should be used as the land for military settlements.

A military household can be allocated 35 mu of military land to feed the whole family.

However, with the economic recovery of the Ming Dynasty, the population increased and the land became more and more valuable.A large amount of military land was embezzled by officials and officers, and secretly resold, resulting in less and less military land.Nowadays, a military household can't even allocate an acre, and it is a problem for the whole family to eat.

The military settlement system exists in name only, and the imperial court is unwilling to pay more money, resulting in extremely low treatment for military households, which directly affects the enthusiasm of military households to join the army.The escape rate was very high. In many guards of Ming Dynasty, there were only old, weak, sick and disabled, a few kittens, and some guards even lost a single person.

This long-dead military household system became the root cause of the rapid decline and weakness of the Ming army.

In the final analysis, the economy determines the military.Without economic strength, how can the army be expected to win battles.
