Once these things are done, there will be no major military and political problems in the Ming Dynasty.
"Take a look at these military districts," Zhu Youxiao said, looking at the crowd. "When we get back, make a plan for how many troops each district will need, and also estimate the approximate cost. All troops will be recruited, and the Ming Dynasty will no longer have garrisons."
"All the land in the garrisons was taken back and redistributed to the soldiers who were no longer serving in the army and to the military households, so that they could get the land and cultivate it with peace of mind."
Everyone looked at the emperor in shock.
We understand your previous thoughts. But how much would it cost to recruit all the soldiers? Does the court have that much money?
This was also what they were most worried about, but they didn't ask because the money was not their responsibility and the General Staff Office didn't care about these things.
The Ministry of Revenue was the first to pay, so even if they objected, they should speak to His Majesty. There was no need for us to do that.
Making plans, making budgets, and executing them are what we should do.
Zhang Weixian stood up and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I will do it when I get back."
The number of troops recruited by the several military regions is definitely different. For example, the Shandong Military Region and the Guangdong Military Region will definitely have relatively fewer troops, after all, they are places to prepare for the navy; the number of troops in the Northeast does not need to be too large, but the equipment must be accurate enough; the same is true for the Northwest.
On the other hand, the Capital Military District could be established or not, as long as it had a structure. After all, there were the Royal Guards here, and if this military district really existed, it would likely become the Royal Guards' reserve.
The Southwest Military Region must have more troops and better equipment. There are too many messy things going on over there, and they also have to deal with the various countries in Southeast Asia. They might even be needed in future wars.
You know, the Ming Dynasty still has a Duke of Qian in Yunnan. Reforms might encounter some resistance, but the biggest obstacle might be the Duke of Qian. After all, in Yunnan, the Duke of Qian is almost a prince.
But Zhu Youxiao didn't care, because he believed they would be obedient. If they didn't obey, he would kill them.
The people in the General Staff Office knew that this was a general trend. Although it could not be accomplished in a short period of time, it would definitely cause an uproar.
Many people had serious expressions on their faces as they began to think about how they could benefit from it.
After all, this matter seems to have a lot of benefits. For example, the general manager of these military regions is an incredible position.
They knew exactly who the two eunuchs of the royal family were. This was a huge temptation for the nobles; it was an opportunity to take charge of the army, and to hold a high position with real power.
No one is not tempted, no one does not want it, they even think about releasing it to others.
The General Staff Office has great power, but not everyone has such a status.
"Okay, go back and discuss it carefully, and come up with a report as soon as possible." Zhu Youxiao looked at several people and said directly.
Zhu Youxiao was somewhat surprised by the reaction of the General Staff.
The General Staff is now increasingly resembling the Grand Council of later generations. A key difference between the Grand Council and the Cabinet is that it was solely responsible for hearing imperial decrees. While it was supposedly established to discuss military affairs, in reality, it had no standing to question the emperor's decisions.
The people in the General Staff Office are doing similar things now. They just do whatever Zhu Youxiao tells them to do.
After everyone went back, the news was spread.
No one expected that the current emperor would be like this, nor did anyone expect that the current emperor would do such a thing.
Many people are excited, this is an opportunity.
Both civil officials and military generals felt that this opportunity was hard-won.
Military commanders wanted to advance further; some civil officials wanted to change careers. After all, they excelled in military affairs, and having reached the end of their civil service careers, it was difficult to move forward. But if they could receive this position, it would not be certain; they were destined to move forward.
Zhu Youxiao didn't care about these things. They were unavoidable and he could only let them go.
This will always be the case.
In addition to these people, people in local garrisons also began to panic.
Especially those generals in the local garrisons, who had originally inherited the position from generation to generation, it was obvious that they would be laid off this time.
They couldn't help but panic.
