Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei

Shaanxi, Xigu.

This little-known place, a place where thousands of military and civilian households are guarded, has attracted the attention of most of Shaanxi.

There is no other reason. The inspection team sent by the imperial court, led by the governors of the three sides, has already arrived at this small frontier town, and this small frontier town is also the station of Xigu guarding the Yuqianhu, and Xigu guarding the Yuqianhu. It is also one of the thousand-household offices affiliated to Minzhou Wei.

What that means is obviously very clear.

The reform of the guardhouse, which had been nearly stagnant at first, was obviously going to start from this Xigu guarding the military and civilian thousands of households, so how could it not attract attention.

"It is not easy for the Governor to interfere with the reform, but if there is anything that the Governor needs to do, just say, as long as the Governor can do it, he will never refuse!"

Outside Xigu City, in the patrol camp, Zhou Yuji's sonorous and powerful voice could be heard clearly even through a thick layer of tents.

"If you have said this, the last will be relieved. It's just that when the time comes, you must trouble the adults. Don't worry about the last ..."

The person who spoke out was also dressed in armor, but his temperament was quite inconsistent with this armor. It was different from the sturdy aura of soldiers, but instead had the temperament of a scholar.

This person is naturally the head of the inspection censor of the inspection team that Li Xiu sent to Shaanxi this time.

"Reform is the national policy of the Ming Dynasty set by the general, and the Governor fully supports it. Talking about trouble is not trouble!"

"As long as it is within the scope of reform, you can do whatever you want!"

After some assurance, Zhou Yuji immediately ordered someone to bring a stack of files.

"Those are all the archives of the Minzhou Guards over the years, the Yellow Book of Military Registration. These are the Yellow Book of Military Registration that Duke Qin ordered the Minzhou Guard to hand over this time."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yuji also surrendered to the inspector censor who was a mere general in front of him: "The Governor is waiting for the good news from you!"

"Don't worry, my lord, the general will not dare to disappoint the general's expectations, and even if he dies, he will never slack off!"

Li Wen hurriedly bowed to Zhou Yuji and said sternly.

"I'm relieved of your boss."

Zhou Yuji nodded. He was also from the Yongwei Camp, so he was no stranger to Li Wen in front of him.

Shuntianfu's scholarly family, who studied poetry and books hard since childhood, were full of knowledge, but failed strangely in repeated tests. Then, despite the opposition of their family, they became angry and joined the army. It coincided with the reorganization and reorganization of the Yongwei Camp, and became a member of the Yongwei Camp. Moreover, he was also a member of the first battalion of soldiers led by Duke Qin.

After that, he showed his talent in military affairs, was appreciated by Duke Qin, and was transferred to the personal guard battalion for training. In just a few years, he went from a soldier at the bottom to the commander of the first battalion of the Beijing Army. When the public was preparing for the reform, he was transferred to the martial arts institute for further study.

When the reform began, he was already a warrior. Under the authority of the censor, he led an inspection team to the south of the Yangtze River. Now, he has been arranged by Duke Qin to Shaanxi to be responsible for the reform of various guards in Shaanxi.

Come to think of it, if the reform in Shaanxi is successfully completed, Li Wen will probably reach the sky in one step. If nothing else, an earl title is at least indispensable.

Coupled with Duke Qin's appreciation, the future prospects are probably limitless, so Zhou Yuji will naturally not be stingy in friendship.

After chatting for a long time on business and private matters, Zhou Yuji slowly walked out of the tent. As the governor of the three sides, he was busy with things, and naturally he couldn't stay in Xigu for too long. He came here to show his attitude.

Zhou Yuji left in a hurry, but at this moment, in the tent, Li Wen was already leading the people in the inspection team and threw himself into the pile of Minzhou Guard files.

Check first, then reform.

This is the keynote of this Ming military reform.

The Ming Dynasty was founded more than 200 years ago, such a long time, and after the change from Tumu Fort, Wu Xun lost power, and the powers of the five military governors were occupied by the Ministry of War, resulting in chaos in the management system.

Due to various factors, it is difficult to find all the records of the various guards.

Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly a challenge to grasp the scale of the inventory.

For example, the geometry of the military colony of the Weisuo, even if the records are clear, the changes of more than two hundred years, according to which period the recorded military colony land is also checked and recovered, and how to check and recover it is an extremely difficult thing.

Not to mention that the dossier is unclear and the records are unclear, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty.

The simplest one-size-fits-all approach, with clear boundaries, is naturally infeasible.

After all, if the imperial court were to cut across the board and define the boundaries, then you don’t have to think about it, these officials and generals who have no bottom line will definitely eat and wipe them cleanly, and then take out the dossier records that have been tampered with beyond recognition.

In a turbulent world reform, the imperial court took great pains and efforts. Maybe they made wedding dresses for these daring people, but the court took the blame, but the worms would eat their mouths full of oil and become a tyrannical government that would bring disaster to the country and the people.

Therefore, according to local conditions, formulate a boundary that best fits the timing, and then carry out an inventory of this boundary to find out those who have enriched their personal pockets and embezzled the military assets of the garrison.

Taking back what should have belonged to the guardhouse, as far as the inspection of the military land is concerned, this is undoubtedly a military inspection of fields, and an inspection of the military households of the garrison is a military inspection.

After all this has been investigated and taken back, the real military reform and reorganization will take place.

For all this, Li Wen and the inspection officials are naturally familiar with it.

In Jiangnan for half a year, they also participated in the investigation of the guards in Nanjing, and naturally accumulated sufficient experience.

"Minzhou Guard, it's not easy to check?"

After reading the file for a long time, someone suddenly sighed.

Everyone looked up, some shook their heads helplessly, and some smiled bitterly.

Just from the records in this dossier, we can see the special features of Minzhou Guard.

The full name of Minzhou Guard is the military and civilian commander of Minzhou Guard. Just by looking at the word "military and civilian", we can see the characteristics of Minzhou Guard.

Daming Weisuo, although they are all called Wei or Qianhu, but the full name of Weisuo is different.

Settling fields, defending, guarding, military and civilians, group herds, guarding military and civilians, fielding and defending, or named by place names...

Whether it is a separate thousand households, or a guard house, there must be these words in it.

And these words also represent the functions of the guard.

It is like the field guards, the fields of thousands of households, and the duties are naturally field field, full-time field field, no other functions, even if the war is mobilized, unless it is at the juncture of life and death. Otherwise, they would basically not mobilize the Tuentian Guards and the Tuentian Thousand Households.

The Minzhou Guard has the word "military and civilian", and its functional direction is naturally different. The key to the military and civilians is the word "civilian". Most of these guards were located on the frontiers or in the gathering areas of non-Han ethnic groups, or even both.

Its function is mainly to govern and control ethnic minorities. Compared with other places in the Ming Dynasty, it is more necessary to emphasize the co-management of the military and the people, so the word "military and civilian" is added.

The Minzhou Guard, among the military and civilian guards, is even more special.

The Minzhou Guard is in charge of today's Dangchang, Zhouqu, Minxian and other large tracts of land. It stands to reason that there are prefectures and counties in these places. Set up prefectures and counties, and defend them with soldiers!

Therefore, the Minzhou Guard is actually a guard house where the military and the government are integrated.

It is naturally extremely complicated to investigate and reform such a guardhouse.

A little carelessness can lead to ethnic conflicts, which can lead to disasters that are difficult to end.

"Sir, why don't we start by guarding Yuqianhu in Xigu?"

Some officials tried to speak.

As soon as this statement came out, all the officials were somewhat moved.

The Minzhou Guard leads five of the thousands of military and civilian households, and Xigu City guards one of the thousands of military and civilian households.

The five military and civilian thousands of households are all related to the Han ethnic group in Southwest Africa. Only the Xigu guarding thousands of households has nothing to do with the non-Han ethnic group.

The so-called defense, as the name suggests, is naturally to defend against the enemy, shouldering the functions of frontier garrison and vigilance.

This seems to be the only soft persimmon among the six thousand households in Minzhou Wei.

"Do not!"

Li Wen decisively refused.

"The general trend of reform has begun, how can I wait to kill myself!"

"Now the whole of Shaanxi is staring at us, if we dare not even show our determination, then it will be difficult in the future!"

"Let's start with the five military and civilian thousands of households! If you want to chew, you must first chew on the hard bones!"

"As for Xigu, stay at the end!"

As soon as these words came out, most of the people in UU reading www.uukanshu.com responded subconsciously, only a few censors dressed as civilians looked at each other, at a loss as to what to do.

The inspection team was dominated by the military generals that Li Xiu had specially trained for the reform, supplemented by the civilian officials. The civilian officials did not have much say in the inspection team.

Under such circumstances, they couldn't help but hesitate, so they had to follow the lead.

The reform of the guards in Shaanxi was also under this order, and the curtain was completely opened.

And this scene was also staged one after another in the northern provinces and guards.

Li Xiu opened a martial arts academy, and selected people who could be used in the hundreds of thousands of troops and specially cultivated forces.

Today, it also plays a decisive role in this reform that has spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.

They are all over the Ming Dynasty, holding the power of censors, for this rotten ancient empire, remove the ills little by little, add vitality, and lay a solid foundation, until the end, a new look, this ancient empire will also come again. peak…
