Chapter 6 The expanded military department

Another part is divided into Quasi-Shi Ento-Hao, which is located on the border. Although it is under the jurisdiction of prefectures and counties, it also has its own certain independence.

After careful consideration, this is also a system that evolved differently because of the different radiation ranges of the ruling ability of the court.

The so-called non-Steer Enceladus is in the mainland, or the capital, because it is the core hinterland of the Ming Dynasty and does not require too many military control areas. This type of garrison has the most severe decline in combat effectiveness.

Because these garrisons live in mixed villages with the common people, many garrisons have shown significant popularity and have no military characteristics at all.

There is no difference between fighting a war and driving the people to the battlefield.

There is still a certain need for the Shitiu and Quasiu Shitiu. However, Zhu Qizhen has long been dissatisfied with these garrisons in the mainland.

Now we will start to lay off the Beijing Guards first.

Of course, it was also completely abolished.

Zhu Qizhen lowered the standard of leaving the military household. Compared with before, he either reached the level of Minister of War or asked the emperor for his grace to escape. Or he could achieve something in fame and fortune.

However, if you do not want to leave the garrison, each family must serve in the army.

Of course, although the military households in the ward system are so bad, it is not absolute.

There are some people in the military households. Their ancestors were either old men who raised the army with Taizu or soldiers who followed Taizong Jingnan. They may not have made a name for themselves in their lives.

However, all their family members are in the army, and the separated army may not be a good thing for them. This situation is particularly obvious among the Beijing Guards near Beijing.

So although Zhu Qizhen vigorously recruited outsiders to join the Beijing camp.

Of course, it was not a system, but all the organization was disrupted. Zhu Qizhen could not allow the border troops to be included in the Beijing camp.

However, his newly formed army of 400,000, of which more than 200,000 were either the original Beijing camp, or the room for each garrison, or the origin.

The remaining particle grain produced by the garrison station was directly transferred to the Ministry of War, becoming one of the logistics support for the Beijing Army.

But the remaining ones in the Beijing camp may not be the essence.

Perhaps Zhu Qizhen can deal with those corrupt and useless officers, and Zhu Qizhen can pay monthly salary according to the system of superiority until he dies of old age.

However, some soldiers who cannot go into battle, are older and cannot receive high-intensity training, so Zhu Qizhen also has to give him a way out.

After all, many old soldiers will die once they are driven out.

Therefore, the so-called city defense force was found.

In fact, the city defense army was composed of the twenty-two guards in their own army, and the old army that was cut by various troops and unbearable to the battle.

First of all, the twenty-two guards of the capital army are important personnel to protect the imperial city and the palace city. There are more than 8,800 personal guards on duty in the imperial city every day.

Each garrison is divided into the gates and walls of the palace city, and even the military camps are in the city of Beijing. In all directions of the imperial city, the imperial city is in a magnificent shape. There are also personal guards in charge of the outer city walls.

The reason why Beijing City cannot be guarded by 100,000 is because there are twenty-two personal guards responsible for guarding inside and outside Beijing City. Except for one Tongzhou Guard in Tongzhou, they are all guarding Beijing City, with a population of 100,000.

Some people seem to have a misunderstanding, thinking that the personal guards who the emperor has to rely on must be very capable of fighting?

According to Zhu Qizhen's personal observations, it may not be.

Perhaps there are many troops that they can fight, but more of them are good-looking, most of them look majestic. Moreover, these guards suffered heavy losses in the battle of Maoerzhuang.

After all, Duke Cheng led almost all the cavalry in the capital, and among the personal guards, there were no exception. Therefore, there were quite a lot of vacancies after the battle between the personal guards.

These old soldiers were placed among these personal guards, and they were specially allowed to guard the city gates and sweep the streets, get military pay, but do municipal work.

Zhu Qizhen also wanted to change this.

Why did the emperor need to lay the ground in loess and sprinkle clean water on the street when he went on a tour? The reason is very simple, because if he didn't do this, the emperor would probably step on shit.

On the streets of Beijing City, there is a smell of livestock feces as the background color, just like in Beijing City today, there is a smell of car exhaust.

Zhu Qizhen temporarily gave them the so-called city defense army. In the future, Zhu Qizhen assigned these old troops to Shuntian Prefecture. After all, Shuntian Prefecture had an income of less than 100,000 taels a year because of Yu Qian's original foundation. It was difficult for them to support these old troops. It was just enough to clean up the streets and reduce the burden on the court.

By the way, among the personal guards, except for the Jinyi Guards and other few guards, they are all affiliated with the Ministry of War, not the Governor's Office of the Five Army.

This was not formulated by Zhu Qizhen, but the system of the Ming Dynasty was like this. Several garrisons stationed in the imperial city were directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor.

Now Zhu Qizhen has also inherited this.

He not only continued to be under the jurisdiction of the personal guards to the Ministry of War, but all the guards in the Jingying camp were under the Ministry of War. Although these guards only had a little military farming function left.

The Fifth Army and the Sixth Battalion were stationed in Beijing. The Ministry of War was responsible for the supply of grain and cloth for these battalions, and the Shaofu was responsible for the supply of weapons and equipment.

That's right, Zhu Qizhen also gained the benefit of the Shaofu, that is, the Shaofu annexed all the weapons workshops of the Ministry of War and the various Beijing Guards.

Become the weapons supplier of the Ming Dynasty Jingying.

This is also Liu Dingzhi's greatest contribution. Although the Shaofu cannot bring much profit to the internal transport warehouse, if the weapons supplied to the Beijing border army are discounted, it will be an astronomical figure.

Under Liu Dingzhi's management, Jiangnan weaving and Jingdezhen goods went directly from Ningbo to sea, making a profit of more than 2 million taels of silver every year.

And all these more than 2 million taels of silver, plus other fragmented silver, such as the output of each mine, were invested in Zunhua Iron Factory.

Now four years have passed, Zunhua Iron Factory has built a city that is not inferior to Zunhua City.

It became the largest iron smelting center in the north, and a large amount of coal and iron ore turned into iron ingots here, and then all kinds of weapons were created using workshops that went to the south of Beijing.

Beijing Nancheng is also developing rapidly.

Originally, this place was the old land of Yuan Dadu, and there were some people at the beginning. Now, there are workshops in Shaofu, water conservancy colleges, etc. listed here.

Especially the Water Conservancy College.

In recent years, natural disasters have been constantly occurring. Whether it is drought resistance or flood control, water conservancy projects are indispensable. The water conservancy projects in the world are all in the water conservancy college.

Zhu Qizhen has also visited the world's water conservancy affairs many times. Zhu Qizhen alone has given as many as five or six attendant officials. They either have been in charge of water conservancy projects or are very proficient in water conservancy theory.

In recent years, many people have been in charge of the Water Conservancy Academy and have become officials in prefectures and counties in various places. One of them has even achieved the title of official, which is the governor of Xuzhou. It is nothing else. The floods in Xuzhou are too severe today. Zhu Qizhen asked the Ministry of Personnel to select a minister who can control water, and the Ministry of Personnel can only choose from officials who come from the Water Conservancy Academy.

As a result, the Water Conservancy Institute is even more prosperous and prosperous.

Zhu Qizhen even wanted to expand the outer city for a time, and included the industrial area of ​​the outer city, but because of Lugou River, he gave up.

Why are all the workshops built in the south of the city? Isn’t it just to borrow the Lugou River water conservancy? But the problem is that the Lugou River is restless. If a city is established to let the Lugou River pass through the city, it may be difficult to clean up when there is a flood.

Zhu Qizhen gave the Ministry of War this way and gave the Ministry of War real power was far more than this, but more, such as the jurisdiction of garrisons at all levels in the world.

This power has been in the Governor's Office of the Five Army before. Of course, the Ministry of War has the right to coordinate the management.

However, in terms of formal subordinates, the provincial capitals are still under the jurisdiction of the Five Army Governor's Office. The five armies of the Five Army Governor's Office are themselves an administrative division, and the five armies each have specific jurisdiction.

I won't say much about this.

But now, the five armies of the Five Army Governor's Office, which Zhu Qizhen re-established, have become five armies outside the capital. The Five Army Governor's Office, which was originally the general leader of the world's troops, seems to have suddenly become the leadership body of 250,000 troops outside.
