It turned out that in Zhu Youjian's imagination, his inner circle army of the Ming Dynasty was divided into two systems: "field army" and "suppression and garrison army".
Among them, the "field soldiers", as the name suggests, are responsible for mobile operations. The field army is mainly divided into two parts. One part is the tent-front pro-army, including the tent-front horse army, the tent-front infantry, the tent-front youth army and the tent-front guards. Currently, excluding the tent-front youth army, there are a total of more than 30,000 people. It was Zhu Youjian's main mobile force in his southern and northern campaigns.
The other part of the "field troops" is the 50,000 household army, which is the cavalry belonging to the five Mongolian noble concubines Wanhu Orduo... Although it is called the 50,000 household army, there are actually not five full complements. Thousands of households. At present, only Orduo, the great concubine of Ulliangha, has an actual number of 10,000 Mongolian households. In addition, there are a large number of Han farmers in the two cities of Guihua and Jining and near the Daigentala Palace, with a total of tens of thousands of households, and the number is still increasing.
The remaining 40,000 households in Orduo only have about 5,000 Mongolian households, and they basically have no jurisdiction over Han people.
From the strength and location of these five noble concubines, Wanhu Orduo, we can also see Zhu Youjian's love for the great concubine Wuliangha - Wuliangha Wanhuoerduo now occupies the entire territory from Guihua City to The large grasslands and mountains between Jining City are home to two large cities, Guihua City and Jining City, and the Daigentala Palace.
Moreover, the territory it occupies also has a Chinese name, called "Xinzhou Town", which is also the fiefdom of Xin Wang Zhu Cixuan (Zhu Cixuan's biological mother is the great concubine of Wuliangha). This is also the land under the jurisdiction of the Wuliangha Ten Thousand Households Orduo Society. The reason for thousands of Han households - His Highness King Xin is the Sai King of the Ming Dynasty after all, not the Zong King of Mongolia. Of course, he must have Han guards under his command.
Ranked after the great concubine Wu Liangha is the second concubine Zhong Mu Na (the original Nang Nang Da Fu Jin), who owns the Duo Luo Wan Huo Er Duo, with more than 5,000 households, and will join Han Nao'er and Jiujiu. Herdsmen are stationed on the grasslands around the spring. Zhu Youjian will also build Duoluo Palace City near Xinghesuo City for Concubine Zhong Muna as a palace for Concubine Zhong Muna.
Concubine Su Taisan's Taining Ten Thousand Household Orduo also has more than 5,000 households, and herdsmen will be stationed at the foot of Yinshan Mountain and on the bank of the Yellow River to the west of "Xinzhou Town". Zhu Youjian will fund the construction of Taining City at the foot of Yinshan Mountain for the use of the three noble concubines Su Tai.
Although Batma Hong is only the fourth noble concubine, she is undoubtedly Zhu Youjian's favorite woman. Although she only owns more than 5,000 herdsmen, she owns young men, horses, The number of cattle and sheep is second only to the noble concubine Uliangha, and she also has more than 2,000 camels, which can form a camel cavalry. Her fiefdom was located on the Jinlianchuan Grassland, near Kaiping City, the capital of the Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Youjian will also order people to rebuild Kaiping City as the city where Batma Hong's palace is located.
Siqintu Fujin, which owns thousands of Fuerduo households, also has about 5,000 households, which are sealed in the rich Saihanba grassland. Zhu Youjian will also build a Fuyu City for her. Her strength is not weak either, because the foundation of Fuyu Wanhu is the Gaoer Tuman Wanhu, who is a tiger, a rabbit, and a Han, and she has a lot of strong men.
Duoyan Wanhu and Fuyu Wanhu are two Wanhu located at the front. One is guarding Dashawo and the other is looking at the south of Qianli Pine Forest, so they are very important. Therefore, Zhu Youjian transferred the "Two Tiger Generals" (as fierce as a tiger and as powerful as a tiger) who originally belonged to the noble concubine Wu Liangha to Duoyan Wanhu and Fuyu Wanhu as general managers.
The five noble concubines Orduo currently have 30,000 Mongolian households. In theory, they can dispatch 30,000 cavalry, and can also provide grassland mobility for Zhu Youjian's front army!
In a few years, when the five noble concubines Orduo have raised their troops and horses to become strong, they can be sent to cooperate with the front army to march east of Qianli Pine Forest.
In addition to the field army, Zhu Youjian also established a large number of town garrison troops. The so-called town garrison army, as the name suggests, is an army used to town and garrison places. Although they can also conduct mobile operations, their main task is to guard the place.
The town garrison currently includes the Datong Army, the Xuanfu Army, the Yanshan Army, the Daning Army, the North Zhili Eight Prefecture Regiment Training Army, and the Dianqian Army based on the Eight Prefecture Regiment Training and the Four Towns Army.
Among them, the Datong, Xuanfu, Yanshan, and Daning armies are divided into two systems: recruiting soldiers and military household soldiers. The recruited troops include the town troops affiliated with the general soldiers of the four towns and the standard troops affiliated with the governors of Xuanda, Yanning, Datong, and Xuanfu (Yanshan and Daning do not have governors). After some adjustments by Zhu Youjian, the number of troops in the four towns was unified to 20,000, for a total of 80,000. The number of troops for the four standard armies belonging to the civil and border officials was set at 3,000, for a total of 12,000.
In addition, the four towns also rebuilt the feudal military household system with Qianhusuo as the core. These rebuilt Qianhusuo were all outside the Great Wall, and the system implemented was different from the previous military household system. The new military household system granted There are more fields, and military households do not have to pay for grain harvesting. They can just focus on guarding the frontier.
As new Qianhu offices outside the border wall were built one by one, the health offices in the eight prefectures in the two towns within the border wall (Yan and Ning towns were all outside the wall) began to be gradually abolished. According to Zhu Youjian's plan, from now on, the land inside the walls of the second town and eight mansions will be civilian fields, and only five liters of grain per acre will be enough. There is a lot of land in the second town and eight mansions. After deducting the imperial village (including the knight's field), there is no less than 60 million acres. One acre can harvest 5 liters, which is 3 million shi a year. If you look carefully, it is enough to raise 10 Ten thousand towns garrison.
Currently, the expenses for the Qianhu Offices and military household soldiers in the four towns of Datong, Xuanfu, Yanshan, and Daning, as well as the recruitment of soldiers and border troops in the two towns of Yanning (a total of 43,000 soldiers are recruited in the two towns), are all transferred by the Ministry of Household Affairs. fixed. The army that needed to be borne by the people's grain (and silver) from the two towns and eight prefectures was the more than 49,000 people in Datong and Xuanfu.
As for the expenses for military training of the Eight Prefectures, the local governments in the Eight Prefectures draw money and grain from the income from land tax. The number of people training in the Eight Prefectures has also been increasing. At the beginning, there were only 1,000 people in one prefecture. After more than a year of expansion, by the end of the third year of Chongzhen, the number of people training in the eight prefectures had increased to 36,000, with 4,000 people in each prefecture. Zhu Youjian took Shuntian , Governor Yongping was promoted to Governor of the Eight Prefectures, and 4,000 regiments were also trained as governors.
These regiment trainings are called regiment training, and they are actually recruiting soldiers. The military salary expenditure required is the same as that of recruiting soldiers in the four towns. The average annual expenditure per person is also about 30 taels (shi). 49,000 plus 36,000, that is, 85,000 people. Supported by the 3 million stone field tax from Bafu and Second Town, it is still relatively comfortable.
As for the Dianqian Army, it was divided into two parts: the "Long March" and the "Shangfan". The Long March troops are the troops directly under the military department of the Dianqian Army, including artillery, baggage troops, 16 gate guards (gate guards), etc., with a total number of about 5,000. The previous troops were drawn from the organic formations (regiments) of the armies of the four towns and eight prefectures. These troops came to the capital in turns to garrison, and each regiment served in the capital for no more than 3 months at a time.
Because the soldiers in the previous mission accounted for the number of soldiers in the four towns and eight mansions, there was no need to issue another military salary. They only needed to issue a reward after the previous mission was completed.
According to Zhu Youjian's plan, the cost of recruiting 5,000 soldiers in front of the palace will be paid by the commercial taxes of 13 gates in Beijing (Zhengyang, Chongwen, and Xuanwu gates are between the inner and outer cities, and there will be no tax cards) - in After sorting out the land tax in Bafu and Second Town, Zhu Youjian is finally going to take action on the commercial tax! However, he will not immediately send eunuchs to Jiangnan to collect mining taxes. Instead, he will set up a card at his door to collect taxes. If you can't even collect commercial taxes from Chaoyang Gate in Beijing, and you still want to go to Jiangnan to collect them, isn't that aiming too high?
...
Xuanfu Imperial City, Cunxin Hall.
Zhu Youjian was convening a small meeting with the important ministers of the cabinet and procuratorate, as well as the chief ministers of the ceremonial department and the imperial horse supervisor... This was an important meeting before he, the Ming emperor, came to Beijing.
The discussion is about entering Beijing and collecting Beijing business tax!
It's really pitiful to say that he, a dignified figure of the Ming Dynasty in the 95th year of the Ming Dynasty, actually didn't dare to go back home for two and a half years, let alone set up a card at his door to collect taxes...
But now, he finally gathered a team of more than 100,000 people, and "killed" at least 200,000 book soldiers. He also defeated the Jin Yiwei, who was feared by everyone, and sent a large number of nobles out of Beijing. And it also relatively effectively controlled the territory of eight prefectures and four towns-actually 12 prefectures. Although they were not big or rich, they finally had some direct control of the territory.
