Everyone looked at each other and then quietly lowered their heads.

British Duke Zhang Weixian looked at the ground in front of him, took a firm step forward, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have no idea about this matter."

"That's good." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said with a smile: "I am preparing to reform the garrison."

After hearing this, no one was surprised.

The ward office has always been a burden to the Ming Dynasty. Everyone knows this. Everyone has known it since the Jiajing period, but no emperor has dared to touch this matter.

This is a big pustule, and no one dares to pierce it. If it doesn't pierce, it will be alive for the time being; if it pierces, it may cause blood to death.

During the Japanese turmoil during the Jiajing period, the court had such an idea. After all, the ward was so decayed that it could not fight. But it was finally left alone.

Under this situation, the imperial court gave birth to a very deformed military system, that is, the recruitment system and the ward system were parallel.

When fighting, there was a recruitment system, and when not fighting, there was a garrison. Later, another change occurred, that was the personal military system.

The officers trained their personal soldiers into soldiers who were good at fighting, and all the remaining military households could farm and become slaves, which led to the worrying living conditions of the lower-class military households and the number of fleeing households increasing. It can be said that the entire system is on the verge of collapse and no one dares to touch them easily.

But there is nothing surprising when the emperor touches him. After all, the prestige of the emperor today is here, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty is no longer the Ming Dynasty before, and no one dares to do anything randomly.

The northern border is at peace, and the Ming Dynasty is at its peak. Who dares to make trouble?

No one dared to resist the emperor's disposal. How many people did the land investigation be processed? Who dared to jump out and say something?

Sanitation offices in various places are also investigating the land and have also investigated many people. Who dares to say anything?

So the emperor wanted to move the ward, but no one could stop him, and no one dared to come.

The people present looked at Zhang Weixian without any hesitation. He was the biggest beneficiary of the Wei system.

But Zhang Weixian stood there without moving.

He knew very well that there was no way to stop this matter, so he simply pushed it straight away, which would make the emperor feel a little favorable to him.

What's more, I can't count on the garrison now. The way for these nobles in the court to get rich is to follow the Interior Department to do business. They no longer look down on them. How much money is there?

There is not much money for more than 100,000 taels of silver a year. Some people can’t even get more than 100,000 taels of silver.

There is not much money at all, and there are many people who share the money, and that's the only thing they get.

After following the caravan of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to North Korea twice, the income was released. If you travel ten or eight times a year, the money will not be considered money.

The nobles are not afraid of reforming the garrison at all now, but are afraid that the emperor will not do business with them.

Now everyone knows that the Ming Dynasty was fighting against Japan, and there are more benefits there. It is said that there are many people, more land, and more money. Anyway, in a word, Japan is a good place to make money.

Everyone was ready to beat him. At this time, it was not worth offending His Majesty because of the reform garrison.

As for the military power of the garrison, stop making trouble. When will it be yours?

Not to mention the current emperor, even the previous emperors, who gave military power to nobles?

It's simply impossible.

In the past, the civil servants had the final say, but now the Majesty has the final say, that's all.

Especially in this situation, the royal army is so powerful that the military power of the metropolitan garrison is of use?

The ward is just a group of mobs. Do you really want to count on them to do?

In this regard, Zhang Weixian knew very well what these people thought, so he said nothing and did nothing.

"That's it." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Next, I plan to re-divid several military regions in the Ming Dynasty. Each military region will set up a commander's office and appoint a commander to supervise military affairs."

There is no need to build so many troops for the current Ming Dynasty. With the current military strength of the Ming Dynasty, there is no need to worry about someone coming here, so the military region system can be proposed.

In Zhu Youxiao's plan, the Northeast Military Region must exist. In addition to the Northeast Military Region, there is also the Northwest Military Region, one south and one north; there is also a capital military region.

The three military regions completely divided the nine border defense lines into three directions, east, west and middle, and were under the jurisdiction of the three families. In addition, Nanjing established a Nanjing Military Region to manage the areas of Jianghuai, Jiangnan and Huguang.

In addition, Shandong needs a military region and Guangzhou needs a military region. These two military regions are not only for the army, but also for the Royal Navy.

Then there is the Southwest Military Region, which governs Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan.

After looking at the Wei Chao behind him, Zhu Youxiao said, "Hang up."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Chao quickly agreed and hung up a huge map behind him.

The above has already divided the military region mentioned by Zhu Youxiao.

This time, what Zhu Youxiao has to do is not only reform the ward system, but also the separation of military and political affairs.

Local civil servants no longer participate in the management of the army. All the troops are managed by the General Staff Office. All matters are handed over to the General Staff Office for unified submission and finally reported to them.

The troops in various places are not allowed to harass the local area, and set up special military courts to implement military laws.

Separating military law and civil law, Zhu Youxiao is preparing to complete all reforms in the past few years and complete the work of the next few years.

By the time these things are done, there will be no big problems in the military and political affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

"You can see these military regions." Zhu Youxiao looked at everyone and said, "After going back, I made a plan for how many people each military region needs, and I would make a budget for how much money it will cost. All the soldiers were recruiting soldiers, and the Ming Dynasty will no longer have a garrison from then on."

"All the land in the garrison will be taken back and distributed to the soldiers who no longer serve in the army, and to the military households, so that they can farm with peace of mind after they get the fields."

Everyone looked at the emperor in shock.

We can understand your previous thoughts. But all of them have been changed to recruiting soldiers. How much does it cost? Does the court have so much money?

This is also their most worrying thing, but they did not ask. Because the money is not under their control, the Advisory Office does not care about it.

The Ministry of Revenue paid first. Even if it was opposed, they would ask their Ministry of Revenue to tell His Majesty that there was no need for them to do so.

Making plans, budgeting, and executing are what people like you should do.

Zhang Weixian stood up and said respectfully: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do it when I go back."

The recruitment of the personnel recruited by several military regions is definitely different. For example, the Shandong Military Region and the Guangdong Military Region are definitely relatively fewer. After all, it is a place for preparing for the navy. There is no need for too many personnel in the Northeast, but the equipment must be accurate enough; the same is true for the northwest.

On the contrary, the capital military region can be set up or not, and a unit is placed. After all, there is a royal army here, and if it is really a military region, it is very likely that it will become a reserve for the royal army.

The Southwest Military Region must have more people and better equipment. There are too many messy things there, and they have to face various countries in Southeast Asia. Maybe they will use them during wars in the future.

You should know that the Ming Dynasty also had a Duke of Qian in Yunnan. The reform may have some resistance, and the biggest resistance may be Duke of Qian. After all, in the area of ​​Yunnan, Duke of Qian is almost becoming a prince.

However, Zhu Youxiao didn't care, because Zhu Youxiao believed that they would be obedient. If they were not obedient, they would kill him.

The people on the staff office know that this is the general trend. Although it cannot be done in a short period of time, it will definitely cause an uproar.

Many people have serious faces and are beginning to think about what benefits to get from it.

After all, this time, there are many benefits. For example, the head of the military region has a great official position.

They knew very well who were the two general managers of the royal family. This was too tempting for the nobles. This was an opportunity to take charge of the army, and it was still at a high position and held real power.

No one is not moved, no one doesn't want it, they even want to let it go.

The power of the Advisory Office is also very heavy, but not everyone has such a status.

"Okay, you go back and discuss it carefully and come out a report as soon as possible." Zhu Youxiao said directly as he looked at the people.

Zhu Youxiao was a little surprised by the reaction of the staff office.

Now the General Staff is becoming more and more like the later Military Affairs Office. The Military Affairs Office is very different from the cabinet, that is, they are only responsible for obeying the orders. It is said to be for the purpose of deliberating on the establishment of military aircraft, but in fact they have no qualifications to question the emperor's decision and do not have the right to do so.

The people from the Staff Office are doing similar things now, so how did Zhu Youxiao tell them to do what they do.

After everyone went back, the news was released.

No one expected that the current emperor would be like this, nor did he expect that the current emperor would do such a thing.

Many people were excited, this was an opportunity.

Whether it is a civil servant or a military general, they all think this opportunity is hard-won.

Military generals want to go further; some civil servants want to change careers. After all, they are good at military affairs, and they have already come to an end on the road to civil servants, so it is not easy to move forward. But if they can receive this position, it is not necessarily the case, and they are destined to take a step forward.

Zhu Youxiao didn't care about these things. This was impossible to avoid at all, and he could only let it go.

This will be the case no matter when it comes.

In addition to these people, people from local garrisons also began to panic.

Especially the generals of the local garrison, they were originally inherited from generation to generation, but this time it was obvious that they would be sacked.
