During this period of Chongzhen, the military-level reform and adjustment were not as cautious as other areas, and there must be no major changes in opening and closing, otherwise there will be war chaos and riots.

Once this happens, it will threaten local stability, and in serious cases it will push it to the opposite side and evolve into a rebel against the court!

Like the bandit forces that ravaged Shanxi and Shaanxi in the past, many border guards were laid off from the postmen, and because they had no way to survive, they joined the rebellion team.

"Ding Qing said it well."

Emperor Chongzhen reached out and said, "The Nine Borders of the Ming Dynasty should indeed be changed. I do not require them to fight and destroy all the rampant and brave Mongolian tribes.

But at least I will defend the border of the Ming Dynasty so that the rampant Mongolian cavalry will not let the rampant Mongolian cavalry enter the border of the Ming Dynasty, wantonly destroy the Shanxi and rob the Shanxi and rob the Shanxi and Shaanxi.

But in fact, even the bottom line is not possible. Has the food and military supplies allocated by the imperial court over the years been issued to be practical?"

Wang Qia, Wang Zaijin, Huang Liji, Fu Zonglong, Yang Wenyue, Ding Qirui, and Yang Sichang all showed complex expressions.

"The problem of rectifying the nine sides is still the generals who commanded the troops, deputy generals, generals and other generals."

Wang Zaijin walked forward and bowed and said, "During the past adjustment of the garrison in the capital, including the garrison in the past, I found that the problem of eating empty wages and drinking blood from soldiers was serious.

If you want to properly resolve this matter, the court must first arrange these border generals. After all, under their command, they all have a strong team of servants.

On the one hand, it is the corruption of the border guards, and on the other hand, it is the strength of the servants. This also exposes the problems existing in the imperial court in terms of military system and the root cause of why the corruption in the army has been repeatedly banned."

I really dare to say it.

But I like it.

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and looked at Wang Zaijin with satisfaction. What he said was precisely the important reason why the Ming army became more and more defeated as the war broke out.

He took the money from the court to raise the official soldiers, but privately exploited and intercepted them, so that the army that originally belonged to the court could not receive enough military salaries and could not even have enough food. However, the private guards who were raised under his command enjoyed excellent treatment and ate meat every meal. This situation is very common.

Often, the number of soldiers and guards raised by the generals can control the trend of a battle situation by hundreds of people. Once the soldiers and guards collapse, a great defeat will inevitably be defeated.

The main wars of the Ming Dynasty in the past were concentrated in Liaodong, which also led to the gradual growth of the Liaodong generals, even to the point where they could not be lost.

But in fact, in addition to the Liaodong generals' sect, there are also some general forces in the border defense line of the Ming Dynasty, such as the Jiang family generals...

"The military generals raise family members and try to eliminate unrealistic things as soon as they come up. We should slowly plan this matter. The Military Affairs Office can discuss specific policies as appropriate."

Emperor Chongzhen calmed down and looked at Wang Zaijin and others: "I have several ideas for the rectification of the Nine Borders, how to promote and how to improve it. The Military Affairs Office must gradually clarify it, and then gradually issue it to the Nine Borders for implementation.

It was determined that after the commemoration was over, the Military Affairs Office transferred the documents from previous years, and based on the allocated food and wages as the basis, the border towns were determined. Later, the imperial court adjusted the food and wages as the basis, and the specifications of the fixed food and wages as the basis.

The fixed organization I mentioned is based on stabilizing the nine sides, ensuring that the court does not allow any chaos in the nine sides before completing all rectifications, and does not allow Mongolian tribes to take advantage of the opportunity.

The second is to investigate secretly. The Military Affairs Office dispatched a group of officials to send me to the nine borders in batches for secret investigation. I will investigate the actual situation of each border town and find out clearly.

Who is a general loyal to the Ming Dynasty and who is a corrupt official behind the scenes, they have investigated in detail. During the secret investigation, they are not allowed to reveal their identity or disturb the local area. They are expected to return to Beijing to tell the story of the investigation results. Who dares to violate these guidelines during the secret investigation, dismissal, and seize fame!

Third, after sorting out the situation on the Nine Borders, in the name of the Military Affairs Office, the generals with problems were promoted to the Beijing camp in batches with guerrilla generals. The generals with no problems were replaced by those vacant positions, and a group of them were sent out from outside the Beijing camp..."

Emperor Chongzhen said one by one, Wang Qia, Wang Zaijin, Huang Liji, Fu Zonglong, Yang Wenyue, Ding Qirui, and Yang Sichang listened one by one.

The more I listened, the more I became more frightened.

This is obviously boiling a frog in warm water.

It will be relatively easier to transfer those generals with problems from the nine-sided important towns in batches and gradually solve the evil policies of the nine-sided areas. When a group of reliable generals gain a foothold in their respective places and then make corresponding reforms in the future, it will be much easier and there will be no mutiny.

"The ideas I mentioned are just rough guidelines. Your Military Affairs Office will discuss them."

Looking at the ministers with different expressions, Emperor Chongzhen continued, "When we have discussed it clearly, we will submit a memorial to the front of the imperial court in the name of the Military Affairs Office. If there are no other objections, we will do our business according to the rules. In short, we must resolve the ill-fated policies of the nine borders smoothly.

If it doesn't work for a year, then it's two years.

If it doesn't work for two years, then it's three years.

I have enough patience and time to watch the nine sides gradually change. As long as it can improve, even if the progress is slower, it will be a good thing for Yu Chao and Yu people."

"I will obey the order."

Everyone immediately bowed and responded.

"And your Military Affairs Office should also think about how to properly resolve the situation if there is a mutiny during the reorganization of the Nine Borders."

Emperor Chongzhen said again: "No one wants the Nine-side chaos, and I am the same, but if the court wants to do these things well, it will inevitably disturb the tense hearts of some people.

I can tell you clearly that the Beijing camp, which is responsible for suppressing the rebels and thieves, will not return to Beijing in the short term. In addition to being alert to the thieves who flew into Qinghai, they also have to shoulder the stability of the entire northwest.

In response to possible unrest, you must formulate a policy to ensure that unrest can be suppressed in the shortest time."

"I will obey the order."

Everyone worshiped again.

No matter how careful and cautious the plan for reform and adjustment at the Ming army level is, it is not an exaggeration. After all, Emperor Chongzhen did not want the stable situation he maintained because some places did not consider it, which led to the safe situation. This would cause too much loss to the Ming Dynasty.
