In the past, because there was no suitable command system prepared, Su Yonglin always used complete corps to guard the border and replaced the border defense command system with the corps command system. This incurred huge material transportation costs and was very expensive.
Once the border guard command mechanism is established, the number of troops stationed at the border can be reduced, and the organic forces within each corps will be more flexible if they want to maneuver.
And the transportation costs required to transport materials from storage locations to the border will be greatly reduced, which will save considerable military expenditures.
The main force of the army can be stationed and trained in areas rich in products, and materials can be obtained locally, which greatly reduces logistics and transportation costs and saves money for the country. Military tasks can be completed by the border guards.
The border guard force is not a single organization. Any army can be put into the border guard force system. It can be more or less, ranging from 30,000 to 300,000. They can guard the border, expand territory, and defend the border. All are accepted within the framework of the military, and no one will be rejected.
Everyone can have a chance to fight, military success will be promoted equally, and everyone will have a bright future.
No matter how you look at it, this is a good choice.
So during the war in the Western Region, Su Yonglin started to prepare for the formalization of this strategy, filled in some details, and brought it to the joint military meeting to discuss with everyone, brainstorm, and improve the policy.
Finally, at the end of September in the 11th year of Hongwu, Su Yonglin officially decided to implement the border defense army system, and first announced the establishment of the Western Region Border Defense Force Command and appointed Su Haisheng as the first commander of the Western Region Border Defense Force.
The Border Guard Command has great powers.
The commander of the border defense forces not only has the power to command the border defense forces, but also has the power to quickly mobilize the army for defensive operations and defensive counterattacks.
In addition to taking the initiative to launch military attacks and marching into foreign countries, you need to apply for permission from the court. In a series of emergencies, the commander of the border defense army can handle it flexibly and act expediently.
Of course, the Border Guard Army Headquarters will also have a complete political department and staff department, all of which are available.
The entire Border Guard Command structure is independent of the Corps structure, giving the Border Guard Command all the capabilities to quickly and flexibly perform any military mission.
This is a brand new department that needs to be established under the new background of the Ming army's expansion and influence.
At present, there are not many places where border defense headquarters need to be set up. One is needed in the northern grassland area, one is needed in Annan, and one will be needed after Dali is pacified in the future. A total of four is enough.
At present, the war in the Ming Dynasty has basically ended, the bandit suppression and counterinsurgency operations have basically ended, and the agrarian revolution has almost advanced. There is only a finishing work left, and the army needed for external deterrence is not enough. It takes too much.
Generally speaking, for a long period of time in the future, the main tasks within the Ming Dynasty will be revolutionary education and economic construction, not military. Military tasks will mainly occur outside the country.
Central Asia, Southeast Asia and South Asia, as well as Japan. If the great voyage advances to other continents in the future, military operations will also advance at any time.
Therefore, whether in the short or medium to long term, Central Asia has always been a key area for the Ming Dynasty's military power. As the military leader of this region, Su Haisheng's position is very important.
This Merzug was an accident. He happened to meet Su Haisheng, so he came over to try to establish a relationship with Su Haisheng. Su Haisheng thought that he might be useful in the future, so he accepted his overtures, and the two parties came together.
In any case, the war was temporarily over, and the armistice treaty between the Ming Dynasty and the Gur Dynasty was also signed.
The Ming Dynasty won a complete victory and further established its unshakable hegemony in Central Asia. All the unified countries of Central Asia were beaten by the Ming Dynasty. The rebels had disappeared, and the remaining ones were all defeated. He is a submissive one.
As the Ming Dynasty shifted a large amount of resources to the Western Regions and Central Asia, a large amount of manpower and material resources began to transfer to the Western Regions.
The Zhongdu court began to issue immigration recruitment orders, willing to recruit people who are willing to move to Anxi Province and Beiting Province with favorable immigration conditions. The favorable conditions include but are not limited to tax exemption, housing, spouse allocation, etc., anyway, they can give Yes, the Zhongdu court was not stingy.
In the process from departure to settling down in the settlement, all the expenses for food, clothing, housing and transportation were borne by the Zhongdu court. People did not need to spend a penny for this. As long as people were willing to go, the court could provide them with what they needed.
The Propaganda Department of the Renaissance Society also went into full gear and began to publicize this time of the Great Migration to the Western Regions across the country, calling on the revolutionary masses to move to the Western Regions for the revolutionary cause of the Ming Dynasty, thrive in the Western Regions, give birth to future generations, and completely capture the Western Regions for the Ming Dynasty. Hands become local and make a contribution.
During this process, some people proposed to set a minimum standard for each province or state capital, and let local officials mobilize the population according to this minimum standard. This suggestion was supported by some people, but was angrily rebuked and opposed by Su Yonglin.
"If there is a minimum standard line, the situation will be completely different. Let the government force people to move to the Western Regions in order to reach the minimum standard line. What is the difference between the old army recruiting young men and forcibly recruiting civilians? Confused!"
Su Yonglin reprimanded the proposers and supporters and asked them to write an inspection and submit it to the Supervision Department of the Renaissance Society, and fined them one month's salary as punishment.
So no one mentioned it anymore.
“What we need to pay attention to is the principle of voluntariness, which is absolutely voluntary. Without this principle of absolute voluntariness, things we don’t want to see will definitely happen, and there may even be protests. Is this what we should do?
We Chinese people believe that it is difficult to leave their hometown and return to their roots. It is very difficult for them to leave their hometown and move to other places. It is precisely because of the difficulty that we have to do work and mobilize. Isn’t it just for now that we have made so many advance preparations? ? "
Su Yonglin once again conveyed the principle of voluntariness to every place in the country, requiring officials across the country to implement it, no matter how much, as long as it is voluntary.
Moreover, before volunteers pack their bags and prepare to move to the Western Regions, and before actually boarding the car prepared by the government to leave their hometown, the government will ask them three times if they are willing, and especially one last time before getting on the car.
During these three inquiries, if they regretted once, they should be recognized and allowed to regret, but they could not regret it after boarding the car prepared by the government.
After getting on the bus, I have already started to enjoy the food, clothing, housing and transportation provided by the court. If I go back on my word, it will be a breach of contract and I will be punished by the government, including fines, real money and silver fines.
So first say everything that needs to be said, make all the conditions clear first, do not deceive people, do not deceive people, do not lie to people, and be honest, then even if the person who regrets it is fined, there will be no The most he resents is a few dirty words on his lips.
At the same time, in order to make more people willing to accept it, Su Yonglin also decided to set a three-year deadline.
That is to say, during the three-year tax holiday according to the policy, the household registration will still be kept in the original place. If the people who immigrated to the Western Regions really don’t like the life in the Western Regions, then after the three-year tax holiday, they can apply to the government to return to their original place. The government is not allowed to stop.
With this permission, Su Yonglin felt that it would be easier to recruit people to go to the Western Regions without making people hesitant.
Facts have also proved that this provision of permission has greatly solved the people's worries about hesitation and hesitation. They think that even if they find that life is very far south and they are really not used to the life there, it doesn't matter. Year.
If you can't hold on, you can go back directly after three years. The food, clothing, housing and transportation will be contracted by the court. There is also a three-year tax holiday, which means you won't have to spend much money during these three years.
What's wrong with this?
There are guarantees about food, clothing, housing, and transportation, there are guarantees about the court's policies, and there are also promises from the government, which has always been very trustworthy. No matter how you look at it, there is nothing deceptive.
The folk credibility accumulated by the Ming Dynasty over many years of talking about credibility and doing practical things played a big role at this time.
Some were unwilling to go, but there was no doubt that the Ming court was telling lies and deceiving people.
