Ming Dynasty: The Sixth Brother of the Zhu Family Seeks Immortality

Generally speaking, a military guard has about five to six thousand people. Under the guard are individual units such as thousand households, hundreds of households, general banners, and small banners.

All guard posts are under the management of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.

The key point of this method is to set up a set of household registration, that is, the military registration of the guard station, which fixes the number of all soldiers.

Secondly, the health system system also borrowed some ideas from the farming concept.

They are soldiers in wartime and farmers in peacetime.

It was by relying on this system that the Ming Dynasty successfully raised an army of two million!

And raising an army of two million people hardly consumes farmers' money and food.

Except for specific expenditures, military expenditures are actually not very expensive.

It sounds like the health center policy is very good, but in fact, the disadvantages of the health center system are completely revealed among individuals and their families.

This is the frontier, and the surrounding areas are either extremely cold or desolate.

When soldiers come here, most of the time they have to stay away from their hometown. In order to prevent escape, they naturally need to bring their entire family with them.

According to regulations, each soldier can be equipped with a house and land, but in fact there are not so many houses and land allocated to soldiers.

What's more, the land originally allocated to the soldiers was reclaimed by the soldiers and their families.

The land will be recovered.

This was still the Hongwu and Yongle years when official governance was slightly clearer. After Xuanzong died, the guard system would become even more chaotic.

Zhu Zhankan rode Xiaohong to the roadside.

Then he saw guardhouses being built around him, but he shook his head in his heart.

If this continues, I'm afraid these lands will be abandoned soon, right?

Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui and Grand Sun Zhu Zhanji were also among the patrolling team.

They were quite happy that the guard posts were almost connected together.

This is a reflection of the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty! Such a large number of soldiers and such a majestic pass.

It is a great blessing for the Ming Dynasty to have such a large army!

But King Zhao noticed that Zhu Zhankan's face did not show the excitement of seeing the majestic master at all, and there was not even a smile on his face.

King Zhao stopped talking, and Zhu Zhanji naturally noticed Zhu Zhankan's expression.

Zhu Zhanji drove his horse to follow Zhu Zhankan's Xiaohong, and came to Xiaohong's side. The horse that Zhu Zhanji sat down looked very anxious.

Zhu Zhanji glanced at Xiao Hong with envy: "Sixth brother, aren't these guards majestic?"

Zhu Zhankan shook his head: "It looks quite majestic, but..."

"But what?" Zhu Zhanji asked curiously, and as he spoke, King Zhao also came to the two of them.

"If we do this, deserters will appear sooner or later, right?

As the population near Sunchonfu increases and there is not enough land, these military garrison fields may be taken away. "

King Zhao laughed: "Nephew, your worries are a bit unnecessary. With their household registration, where can they go?"

Zhu Zhankan shook his head, they wouldn't believe it now.

He remembered that historical data recorded that after Xuanzong and Zhu Zhanji, the guard system began to decline, and the older batch of soldiers basically died.

By the Zhengtong era, that is, the Baozong era, the total number of military households who fled intermittently would reach millions!

According to the results of Feng Shui fortune telling, there will be a large-scale migration of the population here.

Because luck cannot gather at all.

"My nephew, my third uncle is serious. As long as these people take root here for a few generations, they will be closely connected and become an area similar to a county or a government."

"Becoming an area similar to a county government?" Zhu Zhankan asked curiously: "Then how does the third uncle plan to support these people? Counting family members, a soldier needs at least three people, right? Maybe five or six more people. Maybe even a dozen people.

Not to mention the possible land annexation, how to deal with the extra people? Is it possible to let the imperial court support these people?

After the so-called counties and prefectures are finally formed, how will they be managed? Since the soldiers are the people, the people are also the soldiers? Isn't this a feudal town? "

Zhu Zhankan asked several possibilities, and when King Zhao heard these questions, he didn't know how to answer them.

"These problems..." King Zhao said with a smile: "At least the Wei Institute has solved the problems we are encountering now."

Suddenly, a sentry rider approached quickly and handed King Zhao a secret report.

Chapter 91 Breaking the rules again

King Zhao received the secret report, and his face instantly became gloomy.

After reading it completely several times, he handed the secret report to Zhu Zhankan and Zhu Zhanji, and their expressions were not very good.

Zhu Zhanji was even more angry and said: "This Wala is so audacious! He knew that the Ming Dynasty was about to conquer them, and instead of escaping farther north, he actually dared to invade the border again!"

Zhu Di's first northern expedition was against the Tatars.

In the process of conquering the Tatars, Wala took advantage of this opportunity to make ends meet and finally grew up.

In the first few years when Wala grew up, they were relatively stable.

There was no invasion of the Ming Dynasty, but after Oara conquered some of the Tatar troops and tribes.

Their ambitions also began to overflow.

The current Oara does not have a unified leadership like the Tatars.

Wala still implements the measures of tribal alliance.

The leader of Wala is Mahamu!

As the leader of Wala, Mahamu is not actually that famous, but he has a grandson named Yesian.

That is, the Wala leader who captured the Mingbao Sect.

Prince Zhao said with a gloomy face: "What confidence do these Wala thieves have, or what trump card do they have? How dare they invade the border of our Ming Dynasty at this time?"

During the Northern Expedition during the Yongle period, hundreds of thousands of troops were mobilized.

With so many troops, it takes at least a long time to prepare in advance.

For the Northern Expedition in March, the emperor even began to slowly prepare before the New Year.

Even the court began to prepare just after the first month of the year.

As for the garrison near Shuntian Prefecture, it has been stationed in the north since the eighth year of Yongle.

Waiting for the next Northern Expedition at any time.

Speculating the purpose of Wala in his mind, Zhu Zhankan gently patted Xiaohong and signaled Xiaohong to stop.

Xiaohong stopped very cooperatively, and Prince Zhao and Zhu Zhanji naturally stopped as well.

"Maybe Wala is not afraid of Ming Dynasty at all."

Hearing Zhu Zhankan say this, Prince Zhao and Zhu Zhanji couldn't help showing a melancholy look.

How could they not know that Ming Dynasty's last Northern Expedition was not very good.

Judging from the results, the Ming Dynasty almost broke the power of the Tatars, and the Ming Dynasty's Mobei even moved northward.

But the problem is that these things are not the same in the eyes of the Wala and the Tatars in the north.

Did the Ming Dynasty win? They just grabbed a little grassland.

Hundreds of thousands of people have been struggling in the grassland for half a year, and they didn't even catch the Khan of the Tatars.

From the grassland's point of view, this is a big defeat!

Thinking of this, King Zhao and Zhu Zhanji showed a solemn look, and a trace of cruelty flashed in their eyes.

Zhu Zhankan chuckled and said, "Uncle San, big brother, do you dare to make trouble in Wala?"

They inspected the various Dusi and had already walked to the Shaanxi Dusi.

This is the Dusi closest to the main battlefield.

King Zhao originally did not plan to bring a few royal grandchildren here.

Until Zhu Zhankan showed how to easily pull the giant crossbow used for siege and walk easily with a thousand-jin boulder in one hand.

King Zhao agreed.

But after this incident, King Zhao felt that he had learned a lot!

His eyes were a little red because he could actually get such huge benefits from practicing.

Those were eyes of envy and jealousy!

However, even so, after hearing Zhu Zhankan's arrogant suggestion and thinking of the old man and the prince, the two of them couldn't help but back off.

But they were eager to try again, and they were really a little entangled.

"Let's go back and find out why Wala has such great courage to commit crimes against the wind." King Zhao still suppressed the urge to rush to the battlefield and fight.

During the safe period, he ordered the Jinyiwei to investigate the intelligence first.

Not long after the group returned to the nearby guard post, the intelligence came.
