"I won't talk about the new policy that has nothing to do with you, let me talk about the one that does."
"First, abolish all the garrisons in Xuanfu Town. The military status of the soldiers in the garrisons will also be abolished. From now on, there will be no military status in the Ming Dynasty."
The entire training ground fell into a brief silence, and then broke into thunderous cheers.
The soldiers of the garrison had long been exploited, and the moment they had been waiting for for a long time had finally arrived.
In other words, from now on they no longer had to farm in their spare time or fight wars.
They didn't have to pay the imperial grain, nor did they have to bring their own rations to fight on the front lines.
At this moment, they are finally human beings!
The soldiers of the garrison hugged each other and celebrated their new life.
After the carnival, their hearts were filled with confusion.
What should I do now that my military status has been revoked and my land is gone?
The capable people in the garrison had long since deserted the army and gone to seek a living elsewhere.

"Everyone!" Yan Yingyuan stretched out his hands to signal them to be quiet. "Your Majesty took this into consideration when formulating the new policy, so you have two choices in the future."
"If you want to be a soldier, transfer to the battalion and your salary will be the same as other soldiers in the battalion!"
"Those who don't want to be soldiers can become farmers. Your original land will be taken back by the court. If you want to farm, you can buy it from the court. You can pay the silver all at once, or pay it in installments of five to ten years."
"I have already printed the specific policies on paper. Please read them carefully after you return home."
As soon as the words fell, Wu Zhiyuan was the first to react.
He suddenly realized that he had been sidelined by Yan Yingyuan's words.
The garrison was gone, his military status was gone, and his position as commander-in-chief became a mere figurehead in the blink of an eye!
My originally extremely happy mood suddenly fell to the bottom!
He stared at Yan Yingyuan in disbelief: "Mr. Yan... Sir Yan, are you telling the truth?"
Yan Yingyuan narrowed his eyes, his gaze cold and indifferent: "By the way, I have a fourth thing to do in Xuanfu!"
Wu Zhiyuan was stunned: "What...what happened?"
"Wu Zhiyuan, the commander of the Wanquan Division, exploited the soldiers, embezzled military pay, leaked military intelligence, collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and neglected his duties. He deserves death! Come, arrest him!"
