In fact, the removal of the Dameiji Xiawei Office and the retaining of the Dusi and the garrison office, and giving them new power attributes was just a part of Emperor Chongzhen's plan to transform the army.

According to Emperor Chongzhen's idea, he would use a period of at least ten years to build a compulsory military service system as the basis and professional soldiers as the core, and effectively use the framework of the Five Army Governor's Office to form an effective military system in the Ming Dynasty and establish

The core concept of defending territory and conquering all directions.

If the Ming Dynasty wants to change the status quo, the political ecology of imbalance between civil and military affairs must be corrected. Only by combining civil and military affairs can we ensure the strong rise of the Ming Dynasty.

By that time, the power centers involving the army, such as the Ministry of War, Military Affairs Office, and the Governor's Office, will make corresponding adjustments.

This will be a long way to go.

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, so it should not be so rash."

Wang Qia walked forward with a little excited expression and bowed, "If the guards were really removed, then in what form should the Ming Dynasty maintain the security and stability of the place?

If the recruitment system is adopted, the financial burden on the court will be extremely serious, even far exceeding the cost of local garrisons.

If you call the so-called militia and take on the corresponding responsibilities, you may have huge hidden dangers in the local stability. If there are some rebellions, busy farming and unintentional training, how can you ensure that the rebellion is quelled?

If Your Majesty really wants to do this, I am afraid that our Ming Dynasty will form a separatist rule. If this is the case, the country and country of the Ming Dynasty will be in danger."

"I'm going to discuss it!"

"I'm going to discuss it!"

Zhou Yanru and Huang Liji stepped forward to respond.

When it comes to the matter of a complete layoff and abolishing the garrison, Wang Qia and his team started with the starting point, and never thought of using the Governor's Office of the Five Army to create a new military framework for the Ming Dynasty.

Or the group of civil servants in the Ming Dynasty would never allow it. The group of military generals suppressed by them would one day be on par with them.

"The Sword"

The butt determines the head.

However, the Daming Wei Office at this stage has long been rotten to the point of being the root and cannot be supported by the mud.

But in fact, the system of recruiting troops was adopted by guarding the Nine Borders, guarding Liaodong, and suppressing rebellions in Shanxi and other places, but in name it was the same as the garrison.

Including the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River and the southwest, it is all in a difficult situation. If there is some big news in the south of the Yangtze River and the southwest, it will collapse.

However, Li Banghua and Wang Zaijin did not immediately come forward to make suggestions. They only guessed what the emperor thought through the "small-scale trial adjustment".

Li Banghua and Wang Zaijin should be clearer about the above situations.

"It seems that the Qing family is only considering the problem."

Emperor Chongzhen was not angry, lifted his sleeves, looked at Wang Qia and others, and said, "I will not talk much about the actual situation in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and everyone knows it in their hearts.

If I didn't consider what you said, I wouldn't ask the Military Affairs Office to try to adjust it on a small scale first.

The implementation of this matter will take at least ten years of trial and exploration before it can be gradually formed. Can't I and the Lords solve the so-called separatist situation of the vassal states within this period?

Is it necessary to fully adopt the recruitment system to maintain a stable army?

I would like to ask you all, if you don’t take this step, then most useless garrisons will occupy a large amount of military farms for nothing. Not only will they not be able to provide taxes to the treasury, but the court will also support them. What will happen to the future Ming Dynasty finances?

”

In this East Warm Pavilion, Emperor Chongzhen's rhetoric question echoed, Wang Qiao, Zhou Yanru and others were all in deep thought.

They understand many principles when it comes to what the emperor said, but the impact and storm caused by doing such things is too great.

Once the government and the people know about this, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Your Majesty, I dare to ask."

Wang Zaijin walked forward and bowed, "Do you plan to actually guard the local area by using the methods of the Tianxiong Army, the Zhongyong Army, the Yongwei Camp and other departments?"

“Not all.”

Emperor Chongzhen thought about it and frowned and said, "I can't tell you all now. Even the matter of rectifying the garrison has not achieved corresponding results. Even if it is said, what's the use?

Put aside anything else.

Just say that in the Northern Zhili side, there are the Jimiyong Sanjie garrisons that guard the capital and the three camps that guard the capital. I want to ask you, what is the use of those non-essential Beijing guards to keep them?

Don’t take Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Chengzu and others to the extreme when they were in power. This is different from the current period when I was in power.

If those non-essential garrisons under the rule of Northern Zhili could be gradually severed and removed like the three garrisons in Tianjin, and just as they were incorporated into the official land in various places, they would be able to increase the land tax, not to mention that they would be allocated to each year.

How much burden can their food and salary be reduced to the treasury?"

The accounts that the emperor said were calculated were called Wang Qia, Zhou Yanru, Huang Liji and others. Indeed, if a brand new military system could be explored, it would indeed be able to reduce the burden on the Ming Dynasty.

But they really couldn't imagine what kind of military system it could be replaced reasonably and steadily and gradually.

But Li Banghua and Wang Zaijin thought of something.

The training system of military generals led by Xiyuan Martial Arts Hall and the Military Martial Arts Hall will be expected to shoulder increasingly heavy responsibilities in the future.

It is even predictable that if the Ming Dynasty could really suppress the rebellion and bandits and fight against the rebels, then Zhou Yuji, a group of military generals who could conquer and fight, would inevitably be promoted accordingly.

"Your Majesty, I think it is feasible to carry out corresponding abolition and trial for some Beijing guards first." Li Banghua stepped forward and said: "After all, as Your Majesty said, around the capital area, and even the entire Beizhili,

There were too many troops and horses guarding in various units, which put a huge burden on the court.”

After a trip to Shanxi, Li Banghua's idea changed a lot. Instead of thinking about it, it is better to do things well.

"I'm going to discuss it!"

Wang Zaijin followed closely behind.

"This matter will be decided for now."

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen made a decision: "First do what you can do well, and then discuss and adjust in detail what happens in the future.

The fifth military camp and the Shenshu camp are already evacuating from the capital, and clarifying the guard system around the capital. When your military service department is abolishing the Beijing Guard, you must take these into account.

After the matter of abolishing the garrison office in Northern Zhili is over, I will summon the ministers to clarify the subsequent arrangements. If there is no other matter, please step down.

I don't want any topics to appear in the court."

After hearing this, Wang Qiao and other military ministers all understood one thing. The emperor's determination to deal with this matter was very tough. I am afraid that there will be many changes in the Ming Dynasty in the future.
