The Emperor of Red Mansions: Many Children, Many Blessings, Opening Draft

"General Xie Xuan!"

"General Qi Jiguang!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

As the two stopped in the center of the hall, Xie Xuan and Qi Jiguang bowed to Li Chenghan.

"Qi Jiguang, today I promote you to the rank of General of the Japanese Expedition, and order you to lead the garrisons in Fujian Province and Jiangsu and Zhejiang to wipe out all the Japanese pirates on the territory of my Great Wu."

Li Chenghan said to Qi Jiguang with a serious expression.

"General, I will obey your order!"

Hearing Li Chenghan's order, Qi Jiguang's eyes flashed, and he immediately accepted the order and responded.

Fighting the Japanese pirates, this is really a professional match, and it is what I want.

"Your Majesty, I have never heard of General Qi before, nor have I heard of his abilities and achievements.

If we rashly let him take on important tasks, I am afraid that he will not be able to convince the public, and I am afraid that he will not be able to be promoted to his position!"

Shi Nai stood up from the military officer team and persuaded Li Chenghan.

"Why? "203" Duke E and Duke Song did not have any achievements at the beginning, but they still wiped out nearly 200,000 Donghu cavalry.

How can the people I have chosen be wrong!"

Li Chenghan raised his eyes and asked Shi Nai in return.

"Uh..."

"Your Majesty is wise, and there is nothing wrong with the generals appointed by Your Majesty."

Shi Nai was speechless when he heard Duke E and Duke Rong.

Thinking that the two of them were appointed to important positions by the emperor despite all objections without any military achievements, and now two dukes who annihilated nearly 200,000 Donghu troops have emerged.

He had nothing to say.

After all, no one can guarantee whether Qi Jiguang will be the next Duke of E or Duke of Song.

Similarly, since the emperor can propose Duke of E and Duke of Song, Qi Jiguang must be able to be recognized by the emperor.

You have to know who the emperor is. He is a wise ruler with great achievements in civil and military affairs.

It's just that Wang Ziteng was demoted to the general of Yangzhou because of his ability, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

After all, the four major families in Jinling are now in decline.

Wang Ziteng's demotion is also a big loss for the four major families.

"In addition, I have seen that many of the millions of soldiers in our Great Wu army are old and have been in the army for many years and cannot return home!

I feel that the soldiers of our Great Wu left home when they were young to defend their country and returned when they were old, with their accents still the same and their hair still gray!

They took on the responsibility of defending their country, but they could not be filial at home, could not be reunited with their wives and children, and some even never married and dedicated their lives to the country alone."

"I am very sad about this situation!"

"Therefore, from now on, I have decided to change the system of our Great Wu army!"

"Also, from now on, all soldiers in our Great Wu army who are over 40 and do not have a special skill needed in the army will be dismissed and sent home.

In addition, each soldier will be counted according to the number of years he has served in the army. Anyone who has served in the army for five years can receive a resettlement allowance of 50 taels from the court. By analogy, for every additional year, he will receive 10 taels more, and for less than five years, he will receive less.Ten taels.

The Ministry of War and the East Factory should work together to handle this matter, and never lack the resettlement funds for any soldier who has dedicated himself to the country.

For those who have made military achievements, the government office where they are registered should also properly arrange a decent job for them, such as a position as a yamen runner.

For the elderly, local officials should send people to their homes every year to deliver rice, meat, and cloth as a condolence, so as to promptly solve the living needs of the retired soldiers of our Great Wu. ”

“In addition, from now on, all soldiers and generals of our Great Wu will have their military pay and salary increased by 50%.

Military pay in places where it is difficult to station troops and where wars break out from time to time will be doubled.”

“In addition, from now on, our Great Wu will abolish the system of corvée service for soldiers and change it to a voluntary recruitment system.

All soldiers who join the army will sign a three-year contract with the army where they join the army.

After three years, those who wish to continue to serve in the army can be assessed by their respective armies. Those who fail the assessment can receive resettlement allowances and return to their registered places.

Those who pass the assessment can renew their contracts for three years, and their military pay will be increased by 20%. Similarly, those who reach the age of fifty cannot renew their contracts if they have not obtained a rank or the required skills in the army. ”

“Since the reform, the army of Great Wu must implement three meals a day, two of which must have meat for the soldiers.

In order to avoid insufficient meat supply or affect local meat prices, local garrisons can raise pigs, sheep and other livestock on their own.

At the same time, local areas can also purchase pigs, mutton, etc. from outside. ”

“Also, if there are deserters in the army, they can be beheaded and their three generations will not be allowed to join the army, take the imperial examination, or become officials. The court will start to reduce taxes and their three generations will not enjoy the policy. ”

After no one objected, Li Chenghan paused and began to talk about his reform of the army.

Listening to Li Chenghan's words, all the civil and military officials were shocked!

Lin Ruhai and the officials of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War were all stunned.

"Your Majesty, with such a reform, I am afraid that my Great Wu army will be cut by 30% or even more!

And the national finance will also bear huge pressure!"

"And if no one in the civilians is willing to join the army, I am afraid that my Great Wu army may not be able to maintain the current number of troops..."

The Minister of War stepped out and saluted Li Chenghan to dissuade him.

"No problem, I and the Ministry of Revenue will find a solution to the financial problem!

As for no one joining the army, there is no need to worry about that.

Reducing the time soldiers spend in the army, increasing military pay and giving high resettlement allowances will inevitably attract countless people to participate enthusiastically.

In addition, the country recruits soldiers to defend the country. If it is forced blindly, it will be bad.

What is the purpose of defending the country? The people love our country deeply.

They are willing to sacrifice their youth and even their lives for our country, not for our country to force the people to protect their country with their lives. If it is forced, it can only mean that our country is not doing a good enough job for the people. "

Li Chenghan shook his head and explained to the Minister of War.

Listening to Li Chenghan's words, the Minister of War was surprised. (To read the violent novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The Minister of War, who could not find any fault, could only smile bitterly and salute Li Chenghan.

Now he just felt that the burden on his shoulders was so heavy.

He would be really busy for a long time.

"Your Majesty is holy!"

The civil and military officials did not dare to refute Li Chenghan's words, and all praised Li Chenghan's holiness.

In fact, many people still felt that Li Chenghan's reforms in the army were inappropriate.

Because the treatment given to the army was too high, and it was also a disguised way to improve the status of soldiers. 3.9

After this, those military generals would be on an equal footing with them, the civil officials?

But they thought so but did not dare to say it out loud.

First of all, this was a matter of national justice, and everything the emperor said today would surely spread to the people.

If they dare to say anything against it, let alone how the common people will poke their backs and report them to the East Factory every day.

If they dare to oppose it, they will offend all the armies in the world.

So what is the difference between them and the enemies of the whole world?

"In addition, there is one more thing. From now on, the Ministry of War will establish a Military Thought Bureau.

The Military Thought Bureau will hire scholars with meritorious service to teach soldiers to read and write in various armies."
