The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

"Don't make noise, don't make noise." Ma Sanduo grinned and said, "This time, my old horse will play the role of Bao Laohei! He is unselfish! Whose younger generation is proficient in bow and horse, endures hardships, and wins battles, my old horse will fight!" Who to choose. There is no favor! But you can rest assured that Mr. Yan Ge trusts me and gives me 100 million military pay a year. I will not embezzle a penny of my money, and use it for army recruitment and construction! Heavenly king, I come No, there is no humane talk!"

"Okay!" The border residents were eager to try and applauded loudly.

Three days later, at the base of the Jiliao Iron Cavalry, a grand recruiting selection was held.

Recruitment lasted for a full month.

This time, the impact is huge.

Not only the Han people in Jiliao and Northeast China were startled by such tempting conditions for recruiting soldiers, heroes from Yanzhao and herdsmen from outside the pass came to vote, even the fierce Mongolian, Korean, Jurchen and other ethnic minorities came to join the army one after another. .

All the subordinates persuaded one after another that recruiting troops can only be recruited from the Han nationality, and those who are not from our race will have a different heart. Once those cavalry of other nationalities turn back, they will do great harm to the Ma family army.

Ma Sanduo did not blindly reject these ethnic minorities, but carefully selected some warriors who were more loyal to Ming Dynasty and belonged to ethnic minority tribes who were more sincere, and joined the Ming army.

He laughed and scolded: "Damn it, I also know about the Wuhu chaos in China and the Anshi Rebellion, but these ethnic minorities grew up on horseback, and their military force is far better than that of the Ming people in the inland. Old Yan Ge wrote to me, saying Sooner or later, I am going to put my horses on the grasslands, and make preparations for the Northern Expedition to Mongolia. This is also the real reason why his old man pays me so much a year. I just want to train these [-] Jiliao iron cavalry to become the best in the world. The elite cavalry, one by one, counts as ten! Absorbing these loyal minority cavalry will not be harmful to our Ming Dynasty, but it will be beneficial to win them over."

The phenomenon of recruiting troops in full swing not only happened in Jiliao, but also in Xuanda, Sanbian, Tianjin, Liangjiang and other key theaters of Ming Dynasty.

Tianjin Wei and Zuo Xuanwuwei stationed in Tianjin each received [-] recruitment quotas and began conscription with high conditions.

Even more impressive were the Qi Family Army and the Yu Family Army, the two most famous and accomplished elite troops of the Ming Dynasty.

The salary standard given by Yan Song for these two elite troops is automatically raised by one level!

In other words, among these two elite soldiers in the world, there is no first-class soldier!

As long as you have the ability to pass the recruitment test, the minimum salary is a second-class soldier!

20 Liang military pay, start.

And the proportion of the highest fifth-class soldiers is twice that of other troops.

Up to 4% of the soldiers can receive a military salary of 80 taels of silver a year!

The treatment of officers is also the highest in the Ming army.

This kind of generous treatment has made countless warriors of the Ming Dynasty salivate.

The Qi family army and the Yu family army each received [-] quotas for military expansion.

But Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, two famous generals in the world, have a common feature-very cautious in running the army, preferring shortages to excesses.

The total number of Qi's army has been less than 25000 since the battle. Although Yu's army has been expanded on a large scale, and it has been expanded to [-] for the sake of making dumplings for naval warships, it is still not full.

After receiving Yan Song's army expansion recruitment order and the first (good Li's) military salary, Qi's army and Yu's army also started recruiting cautiously, but the conditions were extremely harsh, which made people speechless, and attracted heroes all over the world to bow down.

Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou also secretly competed in terms of assessment standards, as if they were afraid that their own standards would be lowered, and they would be invisibly compared by the other.

You require applicants to be fully armed, carry 40 jins of weight, and run for 10 miles. I ask applicants to carry 50 jins of weight and run for 15 miles!

You require an archer to be able to open a three-stone bow and hit the big target of the millstone with a hundred steps, but I want to be able to open a four-stone bow and hit the big target of the small dustpan with a hundred steps!

These two perverts competed to raise the recruitment assessment target.

but.

The two powerful armies in the world do not take individual force as the main assessment object. Instead, discipline, patience, and obedience are more valued than individual bravery.

There is no one in a hundred warriors who have passed the two perverted assessments.

Chapter 1573 Shanghai Hai Rui's troubles [4]

The reform of the recruitment system is vigorous. Hu Zongxian's Liangjiang Theater and Guizhou have also obtained corresponding quotas for recruitment.

This recruitment has a peculiarity.

Taking Yan Song's power as the benchmark, the army under Yan Song's control received almost all the big cakes for recruiting, expanded the army at every turn, and received millions of military pay for any disagreement, while the army not controlled by him did not get a hair of it.

For example, the hard-pressed three major camps of the capital.

Since these armies were all under the control of noble families, Yan Song didn't give a single recruitment quota, but ordered by the Ministry of War to dismiss many military households, forcefully suppress these noble families, and reduce the troops under his command.

Yan Ge's old euphemistically said: "There are protections and pressures, and the balance of the total number of troops is maintained."

The honorable families were so angry that they spat out a mouthful of old blood.

What does it mean to have protection and pressure?

Why is your army going to be massively expanded with a lot of military pay, while our army is not only getting no benefit, but is going to be disarmed on a large scale?

Not only that, but Yan Song also mobilized Qi's Army and Yu's Army, two powerful forces, stationed around Tianjin, plus the Xuanda and Jiliao troops controlled by him and Yang Bo in 467, and Ma Sanduo's Jiliao Iron Cavalry, against Beijing. The honorable family formed a siege, forming a powerful deterrent.

But Yan Song also encountered strong resistance from the prince and the honorable family.

The prince took Zhang Rong, Xu Pengju, etc. to find Jiajing several times, and cried out that the three major battalions of the capital are the pillars of the country, Gyeonggi is the center of gravity of the world, and the Wuxun family is the most loyal clan in the Ming Dynasty. Reforms must not be carried out easily .

Jiajing thought over and over again, and also felt that the full implementation of the recruitment system, some of them were impulsively angered by the Spanish envoys, and they did not fully consider it.

Jiajing's urination is that the roots of the ears are soft, and it is better to save one thing than to do more, and he dare not be the first in the world.

After thinking about it for a few days, he ordered the reform of the military system to be promoted in other theaters first, and the three major battalions of the capital were not included in the reform for the time being.

Although this decision was within Yan Song's expectations, it was still very disappointing.

Yan Song had already seen it clearly.

As long as Jiajing is alive, no reforms will be complete.
