Specifically, now that we are ready to do something, we will reform the following content. The first point is to control fiscal power!
At that time, the various generals will no longer handle the payment of military pay, so that they have the opportunity to drink the blood of the soldiers, so that by exploiting the ordinary soldiers, they can feed a small number of family members, that is, there will be no difference between family members and ordinary soldiers in the future! All unified military pay!
And it's still the kind of full military payment, without a trace of a milligram deduction! There will be no more things like before. It was obviously a fixed salary of one or two, and the result was only two or three dollars in hand!
(Even Yang Shanlu has personally experienced this point. I think when he was a small captain, as a ten-man small officer, his military pay was deducted by the superior, and he had a meal without a meal. In the days of, and even his armour was like that, let alone the ordinary frontier soldiers below, but now...)
To ensure this, Yang Shanlu will then set up a financial secretary in each army to be responsible for issuing military payments. That is, military payments will no longer be issued through direct superiors, but each soldier will go to the financial secretary. Receiving (if you find it troublesome, you can also pick it up in batches. In short, the key is not to issue it, but to pick it up).
At the same time, set up a reporting mailbox, if anyone dares to deduct, just report him! Next to the Financial Secretary is the Department of Supervision (the only one that can be deducted will be the Financial Secretary, and the people of the Financial Secretary can only enter after selection. But what if the time comes?)
I believe this will eliminate the drawback of deducting military payments.
And after mastering the payment of military pay, this is very important. First, the major military leaders have lost one of the most important means of controlling their subordinates.
Secondly, in the lobby of the Financial Secretary, there are two sentences written. The first sentence is, the loyalty to the emperor and the loyalty to the emperor!
The second sentence is, defend our home and our country, and defend our China!
(Of course, on the side of the Xuanjia Army, it was replaced by another sentence-open up the frontiers and expand the soil, strengthen my China!)
In this way, these soldiers will know who is paying them the military salary and the meaning of defending their homes and the country! At the same time, they can also receive far more than before! There is no military pay! In this way, their fighting power... including their loyalty to the court...
You can even think about it, if the court comes down with an order, who else will refuse to execute it and push it back and forth
Of course, in order to completely eliminate the shortcomings of the family system, it is not enough to control the financial power, so the second point is to control the personnel power!
That is to say, at this time, Daming was large and small, and there were about fifty-six generals, including many officers under these generals, who were basically appointed by him, thus forming an interest group (although on the surface, some have ranks). The generals are all appointed through the Ministry of Defense, but as long as the public relations are in place, is there anything that can't be done?).
But now, the officers under these generals, especially those middle-level and basic-level officers, are no longer appointed by them. They are no longer appointed by them. Instead, they will be appointed by the university halls of various places. By then, the military will be selected from the graduates. Students with excellent skills came to join.
In this way, it can be ensured that the officers trained through the university will have a more comprehensive ideological understanding, more knowledge of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and more able to maintain their loyalty to the court and the nation.
In this way, with a large number of loyal middle-level and basic-level military officers, these troops will no longer be private soldiers of one family, but an army that can be controlled by the court, like an arm.
(Of course the entire court will also be reformed in the future, this will be mentioned later)
Second, the officers trained in these colleges generally have excellent military skills and know who they are fighting for! Why fight! All have a firm will to fight, and a tenacious fighting style! Such an army with them as the backbone, the combat effectiveness of the time...
(This can be seen from the'Northern Cornerstone' that the cadets who were selected into the Xuanjia Army head-to-head with the dog Tarts).
Therefore, Yang Shanlu believes that after such reforms, the combat effectiveness of these troops will definitely be significantly improved (even the outstanding ones can be used as the reserve of the Xuanjia Army and participate in the global hegemony!) and the various drawbacks of the family system are also Can be swept away.
So just like that, with the formation of the framework of military reform, great governance began immediately!
Moreover, his military reforms are still very effective. Although his military reforms are still limited to five provinces, there are 13 provinces in Daming, which already includes five—Henan, Shaanxi, and Shandong. Shanxi and Huguang are almost halfway there.
Especially in Shanxi, it almost encompasses the three towns of Xuanda, which are the three most important border towns in the north of Ming Dynasty—Xuanfu Town, Datong Town, and Shanxi Town. The current Governor of Xuanda is Lu Xiangsheng, so it is of course needless to say Yes, Yang Shanlu’s military reforms are supported with all hands.
Lu Xiangsheng was originally a rare capable minister at the end of the Ming Dynasty. He had long hated this kind of rotten family system, including the Tianxiong army, which he compiled and trained, completely abandoned the family system. So now he is facing this comprehensive system. Does he still miss the opportunity to improve the Ming army
Even the garrisons in other places, such as Huguang, Shandong, etc., are all corresponding, and who would dare not respond? If anyone doesn't respond, his head will fall to the ground immediately!
Now Yang Shanlu, don’t play with you in a friendly way! The criminal law is strict! And those who dare to obstruct it must be those who drink the blood of soldiers the most ferocious! So for such a person, is there anything more polite
Even many times, Yang Shanlu didn’t need to do it. As long as he let out the wind and let the grassroots officers and soldiers know about it, they would act spontaneously... What? The envoy has said that the military pay is not allowed to be deducted, so that we can live a good life, but the old boy of the dog is still holding on to it. Is there anything to be polite
Therefore, such a scene often appeared in military camps everywhere. Only after the arrival of the supervision department personnel sent by Yang Shanlu, the grassroots soldiers who had been oppressed for a long time found the organization... and then they were in the supervision department personnel. Under the guidance, one after another was dispatched to bring those high-ranking moths to justice one after another!
So in the face of Yang Shanlu’s heavy blows, major changes have taken place in military camps everywhere...
Even in the face of such a major change, not only within the five provinces, but even as far away as Liaodong, Yansui, and other military towns like Jizhou, they all expressed their support, just like those comrades in Yang Shanlu, Wang Yanchen and Liu Zhaoji. , Cao Bianjiao, etc., all expressed their support!
After all, this is also very obvious. As a general who really wants to do something, he doesn't bother to drink the blood of soldiers, and objectively speaking, can a unit that drink the blood of soldiers have any combat effectiveness? Often after those family members died in battle, they can wash and sleep next!
And the more this happens, the more reluctant those military leaders will be to devote themselves to those family members, otherwise the previous training will be wasted! This creates a vicious circle even more.
That is the kind of old-school soldiers, like Zu Dashou, Ma Ke, etc., would be willing to drink the blood of soldiers to support his family! But now... Anyone who dares to go against this historical trend will be swept into the garbage heap of history!
Of course, for Yang Shanlu's drastic reforms, some people in the ruling and the opposition are also wondering whether this step is too big? Will it cause turmoil? And can you see the effect in the end
However, Yang Shanlu is very clear in his heart that the three major reforms now being carried out, education reform, government reform, and military reform are indeed a major operation! It involves all aspects of society!
(Of course, in a comprehensive way, Yang Shanlu has another commercial reform, but for the sake of brevity, I won't elaborate on that.)
However, he has this confidence... It will cause some fluctuations, but the overall situation can still be stable!
And this is also very obvious. As soon as he chose the right time, with his current lofty prestige, who would even dare to jump? Second, the most important thing is that the people's livelihoods in the five provinces have been stabilized, including at this time there was no war inside and outside the Ming Dynasty, and the gangsters have been wiped out, so there is soil for reform.
As for the final effect, Yang Shanlu is very confident... This is the direction of historical development, can it be wrong? Or in other words, practice is the only criterion for testing truth! Don't look at the many people who seem to be disgusted now, but wait until a year later to see if there is any effect!
Even compared to Yang Shanlu's grand plan, it is now only the tip of the iceberg! In the end, after satisfying certain conditions, he even had to reform the imperial power! That is to say, it will be changed to a democratic system for later generations, a system of joint discussion. Of course, this is a future thing, so I won't mention it for now.
In short, Yang Shanlu believes that after the three major areas of education reform, government reform, and military reform, the entire five provinces of the Central Plains will undergo earth-shaking changes! A refreshing change!
And then through this change, he can achieve his goal-some provinces get rich first, and then drive the remaining provinces to become rich too! Then finally realize the prosperity of the country and the strong people, and the rise of China!
So just like that, after a month of military reforms, Yang Shanlu's rule fell smoothly. However, Yang Shanlu suddenly became interested on this day. Since the reforms have been going on for so long, it seems that we can go down. Have a private visit to see how effective it is...
So on this day, Yang Shanlu brought his wife Liu Hongli, dressed up in disguise, brought dozens of guards, and went to the microservice for a private visit.
As for the location of Weifu's private visit, he did not choose Luoyang Mansion. After all, this place is where he personally sits. It is a bit like the place at the feet of the emperor, so it does not reflect the real situation. So this time, he chose a nearby Luoyang Small county seat-Mengjin County.
Only in such an ordinary place, where small and big see big, can we see the results of governance, and we can see whether the three major reforms have helped people's livelihood. (End of this chapter)
