The court meeting presided over by Xie Shi became a joke. King Sima Daozi of Kuaiji, the Wang family of Taiyuan, and the Wang family of Donghai unexpectedly united with Zhang Xuanzhi, the official minister, Zhang Songzhi, the brother of Zuowei general, and Xi Hui, the Sanqi minister, to turn defeat into victory. Xu Zongwen's memorial on the abolition and merger of the 18th Battalion of the Forbidden Army.
No one expected that after Taifu Xie An fell ill, the Xie family of Chen County would face a joint attack from the royal family and the noble family so quickly. What is even less surprising is that Xu Xiao, the commander-in-chief of the imperial army who was born in the Beifu Army, also stood on the opposite side of the Xie family in Chen County and resolutely defected to the royal family!
In fact, the court meeting chaired by Xie Shi in the West Hall of Taiji Hall was basically based on the proposal proposed by Xu Zongwen to abolish and merge the 18th Battalion of the Forbidden Army. The King of Kuaiji, Sima Daozi, won extremely easily this time, and the newly appointed Shangshu Ling Xie Shi followed all the way. Defeat...
Three days later, after gaining the support of a large number of nobles, Jin Emperor Sima Changming officially issued an edict approving the implementation of Xu Zongwen's proposal to disband and merge the 18th Battalion of the Forbidden Army, and began to disband the Sixth Army of the Emperor!
Less than ten days after Xu Zongwen took office, he uprooted the deep-rooted Jiankang Forbidden Army and completely disbanded it!
Anyone who is less than seven feet tall or does not meet the weight limit and does not have special skills; anyone who is younger than 18 years old or older than 55 years old and has a serious health condition and cannot participate in military training normally; anyone who is the only son in the family or a father-son brother Those who died in battle were given double the monthly salary and sent back to their place of origin.
Anyone who violates military orders by gathering people to gamble (gambling) or drinking in the military camp will be given monthly payment and sent back to their place of origin. They are not allowed to stay in Jiankang without permission!
In front of the camps of the four armies on the left and right, hundreds of people were gathering to resist disarmament. There was a huge crowd in front of the gate for a while, and the team leader responsible for recruiting new soldiers couldn't cope with it and was already exhausted!
The eight-foot black man took the lead in shouting at the top of his voice: "Why are you driving us away? With my size, even if the barbarians come, I can kill a dozen of them without fear! I'm cut off!" I leave those short weaklings who can’t even lift a knife, what else can we call the Forbidden Army? Let’s just change their name to the Soft Army!”
"Hahahaha!" The onlookers who were cheering couldn't stand upright with laughter!
Another veteran with white beard and hair and a skinny body stood up and complained: "I won't say anything else. Starting from my ancestors to my son, four generations have been working in the camp to make a living. My grandfather still fought in order to escort the Yuan Emperor across the river. Damn it! I think back then my father and I also followed Huan Da and Sima in the Northern Expedition and killed Di slaves and Xianbei slaves with our own hands. It was such a joy!"
"What's happening now? The world has changed. Have the laws of our ancestors begun to change? It's been over a hundred years since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, right? I just want to ask if the conscription law for those who enter the camp between the ages of fifteen and sixty is still concerned. Used? I am only fifty-six this year, so I have to be kicked out. My three sons are still inside! How about we kick out my whole family!"
Since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, the military system has reached its heyday.
All those who serve as soldiers are registered as soldiers, and they have a separate household and are not the same as the common people. After the father dies, the son takes over, and they serve as soldiers from generation to generation.
The social status of sergeants and their families is lower than that of county and county residents.
In order to expand the source of troops, the Jin Dynasty also sent slave boys and relegated criminals as soldiers as a supplement to the world military system.
The powerful nobles enjoyed the privilege of being exempted from military service.
The minimum age for conscription is as low as fifteen and as high as sixty or even sixty-five.
The veterans' complaints resonated with all those who were forcibly laid off because of their age limit, and many people joined the army of complaints...
"Oh dad, you are really my real dad!"
"Why are you here if you don't stay at home?"
"How can you talk, bastard? Lao Mian is not your biological father, but Lao Wang next door is your biological father, right?"
The veteran standing in front of the crowd and a Forbidden Army officer dressed as a captain were fighting each other. This Forbidden Army officer was clearly the captain in charge of recruiting new soldiers, Cao Yong. Promoted to team leader and responsible for the fourth army, that's not right! He is responsible for the recruitment of new members of the Long Xiang Army.
Cao Yong saw the dismissed people gathering in front of the camp gate and had already sent someone to report to the new Longxiang general Zhang Songzhi who was in charge of the Longxiang army.
While he was carefully registering the candidates' information to join the army, Cao Yong suddenly heard a familiar voice in his ears. When he stood up, he realized that it was his father complaining about his dismissal.
Is this a big deal?
Cao Yong quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"Dad! The court has a new policy. From now on, men over the age of fifty-five will be exempted from military service. When you are old, you will be idle at home, enjoying your grandchildren, and taking care of yourself. Isn't it good?"
"You bastard, do you and I live here with nothing to do? Why don't you suffocate your father to death at home every day? How good is it in the military camp?"
"People in the military talk nicely and are interesting. How much more interesting is it to compare their leg and foot skills, and from time to time they have long swords and sword fights?"
The old man of the Cao family has been widowed for more than ten years, so he missed the military camp because he was lonely and could not accept being disarmed, but it was different for others...
"Why do those of us who are within the age limit have to be excluded from the camp? Give us an explanation!"
"That's right! Are we still living like this after leaving the military camp? Isn't this going to cost us our lives?"
"My family of eight are still waiting for my monthly payment next month! If we leave the military camp, my whole family will have to go drink the northwest wind!"
"I also borrowed a lot of money from several Qian families, but I haven't paid back a lot of the money. If I don't pay back the dozens of acres of land my family has, it will be gone! That is the ancestral military camp land!"
"Oh my God! Do we have to let people live?"
A group of people crowded towards the camp gate, and the guarding sergeant was suddenly overwhelmed by the crowd...
Xu Zongwen hung up a sign for the Forbidden Army Commanding Office on an idle space outside the Da Sima Gate. This was a sign ordered by the Emperor to be made by the General's Office. It meant that from this moment on, the 18th Battalion of the Forbidden Army officially began to be dismantled. The six battalions of Yulin Guard, Huwei Army, and Longxiang Army were formally established. Under Xu Zongwen's instructions, each battalion also began to recruit new recruits and strengthen training.
On both sides of the imperial road outside Da Sima Gate are the official offices of the imperial court's three provinces (Yushi Terrace, Yezhe Terrace, Dushuitai, Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province, Shizhong Province, Sanqi Province, and Secretary Province). Directly opposite Xu Zongwen's Grand Commander's Mansion is the Shangshu Province, which was responsible for all military and political affairs in the Jin Dynasty.
The emperor used this mansion across from Shangshu Province as Xu Zongwen's general residence, which is very meaningful!
Zhang Songzhi, the former Zuowei general, was appointed General Longxiang in charge of the elite cavalry of the Forbidden Army after being recommended by Xu Zongwen and nodded by the Jin Emperor.
Kong Anguo, the former leading general, was seriously derelict in his duties and did not know people well. He allowed people like Colonel Chen Lin to take control of the military, which created the hidden danger of mutiny and rebellion in the leading army camp, and he was dismissed.
According to Xu Zongwen's suggestion, the newly-established Left and Right Feather Guards, Left and Right Shenwu Army and Huwei Army will be shortlisted to compete for the leadership of the five battalions. The five winners will be appointed as generals and become the Sixth Battalion of the Forbidden Army. The pillars of!
What Xu Zongwen has been busy these days is selecting personnel, appointing generals and commanders of each battalion, and cooperating with the Ministry of Personnel and other departments to complete the task of integrating the Forbidden Army.
When news came that someone was causing trouble at the gate of the original Fourth Army Camp, he had already been summoned by the emperor to the palace to discuss matters...
Longxiang General Zhang Songzhi had no choice but to send more manpower to prevent the aberration from spreading and causing casualties.
