Military Affairs Office.

"Liu Hongxun is in Shanxi and Sun Chengzong is in front of Liao, so he does everything very well."

Emperor Chongzhen leaned on the dragon throne, looked at the memorial he held and said with a smile: "Zezhou under Shanxi, the guards under Lu'an Prefecture, and the guards under Liaoxi under Liao's prefecture are all stable.

The garrison office was removed from the garrison office, the military land was investigated, the military households were resettled to the civilian households, and the hereditary garrison office officials were secretly investigated.

As long as you are willing to do things and think about problems, there is nothing you can't do.

Previously, the imperial court arbitrarily sacked and removed the post station and did not arrange corresponding diversion and resettlement. Such a one-size-fits-all approach must be absolutely eliminated.

As long as the direction is right, even if the process is slower, the court can accept it. What I hate the most is that I can only ask one person to say anything. In the end, if something goes wrong, I will push the blame completely.”

Wang Qia, Wang Zaijin, Huang Liji, Fu Zonglong, Yang Wenyue, Ding Qirui, Yang Sichang and other military ministers showed different expressions, and obviously had different views on the memorials collected by the Military Affairs Office in recent times.

"Your Majesty, Shanxi and Liao front are important places and barriers to protect the capital." Wang Qia looked at Wang Zaijin and others, frowned slightly, and bowed and bowed.

"Now Liu Hongxun and Sun Chengzong have spontaneously abolished the garrison under their rule. Even if you want to refer to the adjustment of the garrison in the capital, you must at least explain these situations in advance.

But from the beginning to the end, whether it is the Military Affairs Office, the Cabinet, or even the Ministry of War and other departments, they have not received corresponding memorials, but now..."

"Is Wang Qing worried about something?"

Emperor Chongzhen closed the memorial and looked at Wang Qia and said, "The garrisons that were established were removed, not to mention Shanxi and Liao, but to talk about the area that guarded the capital and how much burden it would be reduced. Is it because the Military Affairs Office's previous accounting, the Qing family

Forgotten?

Is there anything wrong with cutting off non-essential wards to relieve local pressure and ensure the stability of local order?"

"Your Majesty is wise."

Yang Sichang stepped forward and agreed, "I think it is very correct for me to be the governor of Shanxi, Liu Hongxun, and the governor of Liaodong, to lay off some garrisons to judge the situation in the local area.

Regarding the memorial submitted by Liu Hongxun and Sun Chengzong, I just calculated a expenditure in my mind. If the military farms of the garrison were abolished, they could be successfully incorporated into the fields of officials from all over the country and settled the military households under their jurisdiction to transfer their civilians. In the past, the imperial court had to

There is no need to allocate hundreds of thousands of taels of food and salary from the expenses from now on.

And the annual land tax that those official fields levy can make the court collect more than 100,000 taels of silver. The benefits brought by this are..."

"Yang Shufu, you're not doing this right?"

Huang Liji frowned slightly and looked at Yang Sichang and said, "Even if the garrison is removed, the garrison troops will be formed in the places involved.

Have Yang Shufu calculated this part of the expenses?

It is correct to promote the abolition of the garrison in front of Liao, when Sun Chengzong was in front of Liao, it was correct to implement the abolition of the garrison. After all, western Liaoning was taken away by Jianlu for a long time from our Ming Dynasty, so it is less difficult to implement.

However, Liu Hongxun’s location in Shanxi also chose to do this at this time, which is somewhat of a lack of consideration. After all, there are also important towns in Shanxi and other places.

Once Shanxi has introduced abolition of the garrisons and soldiers guarding the border in the nine border towns will know that they have been secretly tampered with by some people with ulterior motives, resulting in unstable morale between the border towns. That is a good policy, but it will eventually turn into a bad thing."

Huang Liji still prefers to win in a stable manner.

If you call the Military Affairs Office to know that Shaanxi and Shandong, you are gradually starting to abolish garrisons, but I am afraid that this reaction will be even greater.

Emperor Chongzhen leaned on the dragon throne, looking at Huang Liji, Yang Sichang and others, but he thought secretly. In fact, without the knowledge of the Military Affairs Office, the matter of abolishing the garrisons in the northern provinces was slowly advancing according to the local situation.

Just like the Jinzhou Guard, who was adjacent to the Liaodong Rebel Army led by Li Zicheng, had already begun to make corresponding arrangements under the imperial edict of the Jinzhou General Li Mingzhong. Even in the Zhili Prefecture of Tianjin, a group of officials were selected to replace the prefect.

He was a county magistrate and other positions and went to Jinzhou to marche and manage affairs to ensure the overall development of Jinzhou.

"Since Huang Qing has this concern, the Military Affairs Office should help check for the omissions."

Emperor Chongzhen calmed down and looked around the ministers in the hall, saying loudly: "What is the situation of the treasury now? You are more clear than anyone else. This is the situation of the annual tax collection of the court.

We are in a state of imbalance in income and expenditure for a long time, and relying on demolishing the east wall to repair the west wall to solve emergency government affairs is not a good idea.

Even though I knew there was a problem, I didn’t think about how to rectify it. I just waited passively for the problem to break out. Will the court have peace in the long run?

Just like in the past, there were endless thieves in Shanxi and Shaanxi. Isn’t it because the court distributed too much Liao tribute, and the frequent disasters in the local area caused the people to have no way to survive, so they were forced to rebel from the court?

The Liao pay we allocated was not collected much, and the Jianlu who raged to Liaodong was not suppressed, but the court had a group of rebels. This situation must be completely changed!"

Wang Qia, Wang Zaijin, Huang Liji, Fu Zonglong, Yang Wenyue, Ding Qirui, Yang Sichang and others, listening to what the emperor said, some people were happy and some were worried.

Emperor Chongzhen knew the reactions of the ministers of the Military Affairs Office, but he felt that it was too fast and was worried that many places would cause new storms.

However, Emperor Chongzhen had absolute confidence in the ranks of officials such as Lu Xiangsheng, Yuan Keli, Liu Hongxun, Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting and Chen Qiyu.

With the talents of the above-mentioned local officials, let alone serving as governors and supervisors from all over the country, even if they are promoted to the cabinet to serve as important positions, it is more than enough.

Like Wang Qia, Huang Liji and others, Lu Xiangsheng, Yuan Keli and others are also aware of the matter of laying off the garrison station in a targeted manner, to avoid the situation from expanding, to ensure that the problem can be effectively solved, and to choose the most suitable place.

, gradually implement the matter of laying off the garrison.

"Okay, let's do this for the time being."

Emperor Chongzhen stood up and said firmly: "The Military Affairs Office summarized all possible problems together, communicated with Liu Hongxun, Sun Chengzong and others in a timely manner to ensure that this matter can be done smoothly, avoid local unrest, and truly reduce the burden on the treasury.

.”

"I will obey the order."

Everyone immediately bowed and responded.

Emperor Chongzhen shook his sleeves and walked quickly outside Wuying Hall. All the things that should be solved were solved, and he had to rush back to the Qianqing Palace to deal with the government affairs.
