There was no court meeting the next day, so everyone gathered in the Wenhua Hall again.
We continued with the unfinished plan, and this time it was completely concluded in the afternoon.
Chongzhen actually has a sense of unfinished business. He has advanced thinking and vision, and does not have a restricted mind, but he does not have much practical experience.
Although the minds of the cabinet and the six ministries and nine ministers are constrained, they have all been in the officialdom for decades, have seen more things, and have rich experience.
He just mentioned some things, and everyone would start talking and put forward various ideas and suggestions.
"My dear friends, you have worked hard these past two days. The five-year plan has been roughly released, but the specific details and implementation plan need to be made as soon as possible."
"I will obey His Majesty's will!"
"Okay, everyone go and do your work. Sun Chuanting and Li Banghua are staying here. I have something to arrange."
Everyone who walked out of the Wenhua Hall had faces full of passion.
That kind of passion is full of expectations, vision, and motivation for the future.
"Colleagues, I am curious now. Your Majesty's plan is called the First Five-Year Plan of the Chongzhen Year of the Ming Dynasty, which means there may be a second, third, or even more.
The first five-year plan was so grand and far-reaching, and I don’t know how grand the second and third ones will be. "
"Yes, I am full of strength now. I am looking forward to the Ming Dynasty tomorrow, but I don't know if I can survive until that time."
"For no other reason than your Majesty's plan, I need to exercise more, live a few more years, and see the prosperous Ming Dynasty with my own eyes."
"In the past few days, I have been deeply impressed by Your Majesty. You must have a holistic view of the overall situation, be forward-minded and forward-minded, and be able to pay attention to the subtleties.
It is really hard to imagine that so many ideas came from the hands of a young new emperor. "
"Hahaha, Mr. British, what are you doing at the age of eighteen? Are you still entertaining cats and dogs?"
"That's not the case. I was still very diligent when I was young. I studied the Classics and History Collection, the Military Book and Policy Questions... Hahaha..."
…
"Okay, everyone, let's wait until five years to say these words."
Sun Chengzong smiled, and then his face became serious: "Everyone, we have studied hard and gone through several scientific examinations, why do we want to be an official?
For the sake of the common people in the world, for the realization of what I have learned in my life, for the sake of honoring my ancestors, and having my wife and children,
But no matter which one it is, under His Majesty’s great talent and great strategy, we must cooperate to the letter.
If Ming Dynasty can realize the blueprint mentioned by His Majesty, then our names will definitely be remembered forever. "
"What Mr. Sun Ge said is true!"
"I have something to remind you of!"
Sun Chengzong looked at the palace gate and whispered: "Your Majesty wants to clean up the military settlements, and he will definitely clean up the gentry and wealthy merchants.
Sir, what is going on at home? I need you to go back and check for yourself, so as not to be affected. "
Everyone was silent for a while. What Sun Chengzong said was the truth and it must be faced.
After a while, one person said: "Mr. Ge, we consider ourselves to be honest and honest, but we can't help our family members doing things behind our backs, or our relatives and friends using our names to do things.
Moreover, our ancestors have purchased a lot of fertile land till now. What should we do about this? "
Others also nodded. They had been ups and downs in the official world for decades. In addition to their own abilities, they also had connections from their ancestors. Their families were all local rich families.
Sun Chengzong thought about the payment for a moment and then said: "If the ancestors bought it through normal channels, it doesn't matter.
But if it is an unconventional method, then you have to consider whether to donate it, discount it, or other methods. You have to think clearly.
Don't let yourself lose your security because of the petty profit in front of you. I'll say this, you can take care of yourself. "
Everyone pondered for a moment, looked at each other, and then turned around and headed towards their respective mansions.
In the Wenhua Hall, Chongzhen stood up and slowly moved his body.
"Two dear friends, how is the rectification of the 21st Guards? The basis for the implementation of the five-year plan is the 21st Guards.
Only the 21st Guards have superb combat power and can deal with any emergencies. "
"Your Majesty, after the merger of the Twenty-One Guards, there are only nine guard names. It will be confusing to call them the Twenty-One Guards again. I propose that from now on, they should be called the Nine Guards of the Forbidden Army or the Nine Guards of the Personal Army."
"Can!"
Chongzhen nodded, not too entangled in the name. He couldn't pronounce it smoothly.
For example, Huben Army, Huben Corps, Huben Division, etc. are not as good as Huben Guards.
Moreover, the guard station does not have the standard 5,600 people, so it does not matter if it is called guard.
"Your Majesty, our preliminary establishment of the nine guards of the Forbidden Army is that each guard has twelve thousand-household stations, and the standard combat personnel of each thousand-household station is 1,120 people.
In addition, there are forty-five fire-headed soldiers, ten scouts, five medical officers, two merit examiners and eighteen supervisory sergeants. "
Without waiting for Chongzhen to ask more questions, Sun Chuanting continued: "The Huotou Army has one sergeant for every twenty-five to thirty soldiers, and the scout is one for each hundred households.
Medical officers are responsible for treating wounds during wartime, and during peacetime they are responsible for epidemic prevention in the military and research on trauma drugs in the military.
The supervisory sergeant is responsible for the discipline enforcement and supervision of sergeants who make mistakes in daily life.
When necessary, everyone except medical officers can go into battle to kill the enemy! "
"After all, we have to calculate that each thousand-household residence has 1,200 people, and each guard has a total of 14,440 people. The total number of nine guards in the Forbidden Army totals 129,600 people.
Including the personal guards of the Imperial Guard Commander, the total number is 130,000. "
"After the reorganization, there are more than 98,000 veterans of the Nine Guards. In the past two months, more than 15,000 people have been recruited, which is still 16,000 people short of the total establishment."
"As for combat strength, we held a small-scale military exercise with the white pole soldiers a few days ago.
Although it ended in failure, the gap was not big, mainly reflected in cooperation and execution of military orders.
I can guarantee that with another three months of training, whether it is the Qianhu Station or the Guard Station, they will be able to match the white pole soldiers, and the only thing that is close to it is bloodshed. "
Chongzhen nodded, very satisfied with the results of Sun Chuanting's report. This configuration was considered more reasonable.
The foundation of the Forbidden Army sergeants is still there. Even when Wei Zhongxian was here, although the food of the Forbidden Army was a little worse, they were still able to eat well, but the training was weaker and lazier.
Nowadays, we have all kinds of food and wine, and under various stimulations, we almost look the same every day.
The only thing missing is that I haven't seen much blood, which is the biggest drawback.
The only thing he was dissatisfied with was that the number of people was a bit small. According to his assumption, each guard was about 20,000 to 30,000 people. Adding the Tengxiang Four Guards and the Jinyi Guards, the total number of the Forbidden Army was between 250,000 and 300,000.
Now it seems that there is still a gap of 70,000 to 80,000 people, but it is enough for the time being. After this batch of training is completed, we will see the situation before recruiting.
"We also need to pay close attention to training, not only with the white pole soldiers, but also with the Jingying, Tengxiang Fourth Guards, and Ninth Guards. The more times we fight, it will always be beneficial!
While training, several thousand-household stations can be dispatched to Shandong, Shanxi and other places to suppress bandits in turn.
It is not only to test the results, but also to let the sergeants see the blood. "
The two nodded, and then Chongzhen explained some other questions and continued: "It's only about ten days before the dragon raises his head. How is the matter with Wu Ke?"
