    But now after listening to Liu Jin's analysis, Zhang Mao had to agree with Liu Jin's point of view. The military household system is indeed rotten. If the military household system is not abolished, no matter how it is changed, it will end up being the same.  the result of.

    ¡°However, if the military household system is abolished, it will touch the interests of the military generals and noble groups, and this restructuring will inevitably encounter huge resistance.

    Zhang Mao pondered deeply and carefully considered the pros and cons.

    "Besides abolishing the military household system, is there no other way?"

    After a long time, Zhang Mao said with a troubled expression.

    "No, the military household system is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's military system. This root is rotten. If it is not eradicated, no matter how you change it, there will be no change. The final result will still be the same."

    Liu Jin said with great certainty.

    In fact, by the late Ming Dynasty, the military household system was corrupted, and the main combat troops of the Ming Dynasty were actually professional troops, which were supported by the imperial court with money.

    It is precisely because it is a professional army that military expenditures have skyrocketed. However, the Ming court has always been in financial difficulties. In addition, in the late Ming Dynasty, various places in the Ming Dynasty were unable to collect taxes, which eventually led to  The demise of the Ming Dynasty.

    Several reforms in the later period, such as Zhang Juzheng¡¯s whipping method, actually focused on taxation. When Zhang Juzheng was in power, because the reforms were quite effective and the court had money, he was able to survive for a while.

    But when it came to Emperor Chongzhen, Chongzhen and Emperor Hongzhi were almost the same. They were both emperors who were deceived by the civil service group. They naively thought that relying on these so-called righteous people could turn the tide and help the building to collapse.

    In fact, it's just the opposite. These civil servant groups are the most unreliable. Even if the Ming Dynasty is about to perish, it will still not be extinguished. From the moment Emperor Chongzhen came to power, his energy has always been focused on wrangling with ministers. There is simply no way to deal with it.  What useful decisions will this dying empire make?

    The military household system is corrupt, and sooner or later it must be changed and cut off. It is better to cut it off later than to cut it off early. It is the right way to abolish the military household system as soon as possible and establish a professional army.

    If you want to build a strong army, you must separate it from production and focus on military matters. It is impossible to farm and fight at the same time and still build a strong army.

    Of course, separating the army from production involves a money issue.

    "If you don't have money, what will you do to support the army?"

    And money has always been an important thing that troubled the Ming court. The Ming court was poor.

    After listening to Liu Jin¡¯s words, Zhang Mao nodded in agreement, thought for a while and then said: ¡°If the military household system is abolished, what kind of system should be implemented?¡±

    ¡°Implement the compulsory military service system!¡±

    Liu Jin said almost without thinking.

    ¡°Compulsory military service system?¡±

    When Zhang Mao heard this, he immediately frowned. After all, he was also a representative of the Military Generals Group. He was more or less familiar with history and read many military books. He was very clear about the various military systems in history.

    He knows the military merit system of the Qin Dynasty, the military service system of the Tang Dynasty, etc. What kind of system is this compulsory military service system?

    Never heard of it at all.

    "The so-called compulsory military service system refers to the obligation of all adult men in Ming Dynasty to perform military service. Simply put, it is a stipulation that men in Ming Dynasty, no matter what their origins, must sign up to join the army when they are eighteen years old and have good health.  Those who do so must perform military service.¡±

    ¡°There is a time limit for military service. For example, let¡¯s assume that the time for military service is four years. Once the four years are up and the military service is completed, you can be discharged, return to the field, and return to normal life.¡±

    Liu Jin thought for a while and spoke about the compulsory military service system for future generations.

    "This is a good system~"

    After listening to Liu Jin¡¯s words, Zhang Mao couldn¡¯t help but smile and nod.

    "This compulsory military service system must also be combined with the military school system. These ordinary soldiers are like running water, constantly being replaced every four years."

    "This kind of replacement is very fast, and it is easy for the strong army that has been built with great effort to be scattered. Therefore, in the compulsory military service system, we must also implement it in conjunction with the military academy system."

    ¡°Military academies specialize in training generals and officers in the army, and they are the core and backbone of the army. In this way, as long as the core and backbone remain unchanged, they will always remain strong.Some of the founding emperors would find ways to weaken the power and power of the military generals and noble groups. Especially in the Song Dynasty, the old Zhao family was not upright. Naturally, they were afraid that others would imitate the yellow robe and join the army, so this military power gradually extended to civilian officials.  hands.

    After three years of scholarly rebellion, the emperor felt more at ease by using civilian officials to take charge of the military. He no longer had to worry about the generals and noble groups coming to take over the country.

    But it harmed the whole of China. The Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Yuan Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by the Qing Dynasty. This is enough to illustrate this point.

    Emphasizing literature over military power, the advantage of civilian officials and Zhang Junquan is that there are no military generals or nobles to usurp power. However, military men have no status and no famous generals emerge. However, the Han people's country has become extremely fragile, and has been taken over by foreigners time and time again. In terms of external affairs  It¡¯s getting worse and worse.

    The glory of the Han Dynasty can never be regained.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
