After hearing this, the few people were slightly stunned. After talking for a long time, they were nothing more than the Eight Banners and Green Camps that were unbearable. What is the relationship between the high salary and generous pensions of the Navy?

Premier Yinxiang's Ministry of War had long known that Zhenwu was interested in reinforcing the recruit system. When he thought about it, he faintly understood that Zhenwu wanted to divide the military system into two categories: internal rule and external defense and attack. Eight Banners, Green Camp, internal, navy and imperial guards, and to improve the treatment of the navy, in order to show the difference between inside and outside. However, in this way, wouldn't the soldiers of the Eight Banners and Green Camp be huge?

Yin Yi, who had not spoken, said at this time: "Your Majesty, should you lay off the Green Camp and replace it with the New Army of the Imperial Guard?"

Only Lao Shi asked this, Zhenwu couldn't help but smile when he heard this. After glanced at a few people, he said: "The role of the green camp is irreplaceable, how can it be cut? However, it must be reduced, temporarily reduced by 20%, and so will the Eight Banners."

When they heard that even the Eight Banners were going to cut by 20%, several people were shocked. It would be fine if the Green Camp cut by 20%, but the Eight Banners also cut by 20%. They were afraid that they would cause a big leak. However, they thought that the Eight Banners' military power is now under the hands of Zhenwu, and the princes and nobles of each banner should not react too much to this, and they might even applaud. They are worried that they will not be able to recruit enough people to go to the fiefdom of America.

Yinxiang immediately frowned and said, "The emperor, the Eight Banners, and the Green Camp have reduced by 20%, which is as much as 150,000. If the livelihoods of these people are not properly settled, it is very likely to cause local turmoil."

"Of course, it must be properly placed." Zhenwu smiled slightly and said, "The Ministry of War is responsible for this matter. He transferred 20% of the elite troops from the Eight Banners to the reserve of the new guard army. He was treated the same as the new guard army. After one year, the assessment would be conducted. Those who did not have much qualifications would be returned to the Eight Banners. Green Camp first to abolish several major coastal naval divisions and select elite troops to be reserved for the navy. The same period lasted for one year, and those who failed the assessment would be removed from the retreat.

For those who voluntarily retired, the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, the military status will be banned. Each soldier will be compensated 100 taels, and the officials will be increased. In the future, the assessment will be conducted once every three years. Those who fail the Eight Banners and Green Camp will be demoted as usual. Those who are excellent will be transferred to the New Army of the Imperial Guards and Navy.

In view of the difficulties in the livelihood of the Green Camp soldiers, the food and wages were the same as the Eight Banners. This matter was discussed in conjunction with the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Personnel in the study room to discuss it and prepare a note as soon as possible."

After a long time of trouble, the elite troops of the Eight Banners and Green Camp were transferred to the Navy and the New Guards Army. Isn’t this a loss of money and gaining publicity? With such a conversion, the court has to spend a lot of extra money every year. The Ministry of Revenue is afraid that it should complain, but the Green Camp has made the most profits and its wages have doubled. Just like the food and wages of the Eight Banners, the Eight Banners soldiers should be depressed.

Yinzhen hesitated and said, "Emperor, since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners have always been respected. After entering the pass, they have also been respected by Manchuria. For more than 70 years, they have been deeply rooted. They rashly put the green camp and the eight banners' food and wages are the same. How can the Eight Banners' soldiers bear the feelings? Will the morale of the army be unstable?"

"Let's not talk about this for now." Zhenwu glanced at several people and said in a deep voice: "It has only been more than 70 years since entering the pass. Can the Eight Banners soldiers still defend the border and control the territory for our Qing Dynasty?"

After hearing this, everyone was speechless. The fall of the Eight Banners soldiers and generals was obvious to all. Everyone knew in their hearts that the Eight Banners soldiers were already unbearable. As early as when the Three Feudal Rebellion was suppressed, they had already shown their defeat. It was precisely because of this that Kangxi gradually improved the military system of the Green Camp. The number of the Green Camp was finally decided in the 25th year of Kangxi. With the growth of the navy and the new guard army, the Eight Banners had become marginalized.

Seeing that a few people were silent, Zhenwu sighed lightly and continued: "The Qing Dynasty was built by the Eight Banners, but I cannot let the Qing Dynasty be destroyed in the hands of the Eight Banners' children! The ancestors and ancestors have gone through hardships to create this huge foundation, and I cannot let this foundation be destroyed in the hands of these unworthy descendants of the Eight Banners.

It is difficult to conquer the country, and it is even more difficult to sit in the country. If the Qing Dynasty wants its country to last forever and its country will last forever, it must break the territory of Manchus and Han. Only when the Manchus and Han and the Mongolians and the various ethnic groups are integrated can the Qing Dynasty prosper and prosper for thousands of years."

It is easy to say but harder to do. Manchu and Han are integrated, from Shunzhi to Kangxi, but it is only verbally mentioned. The Qing Dynasty was defeated by the Eight Banners, making the bannermen equal to the Han people. This risk is not ordinary. After hesitating slightly, Yinzhen said worriedly: "Emperor, the Eight Banners are the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. All ethnic groups are integrated and the banner people are equal. How can the imperial power be guaranteed?"

"I sacrifice to heaven and earth. The first sentence of the first sentence is the Prime Minister's Rivers and Mountains, and I am Aisin Jueluo. Yinzhen." Zhenwu looked out the window and said in a deep voice: "I am not only the common ruler of the Eight Banners, but also the king of the Qing Empire, the king of the Qing people! Not the king of a clan!"

After hearing this, the people felt a little sank. Zhenwu was determined to cancel the privileges of the Eight Banners? Yinsi hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it will not be a day when the ice is frozen. The bannermen enjoy privileges for more than 70 years. Even if they want to eliminate the territory of Manchu and Han, they should not be eager to achieve success. After all, the Eight Banners are worthy of the Eight Banners. I hope the emperor will take a closer look at the Eight Banners."

Zhenwu nodded and said, "I am not a lord who is not concerned about the old love. Even if the Eight Banners' children are not worthy, I will never give you opportunities. Eliminate the Manchu and Han territories and integrate all races. It is not a one-day achievement. How could I be greedy for merit? The Green Camp and the Eight Banners' share of the salary are just an attempt.

The food and salary of the Green Camp was decided by Emperor Shizong. Now, five or sixty years have passed, and the prices and land prices have risen again and again. The monthly salary of one tael of silver and three dou of rice, how to raise your wife, children and young people? I have been intentionally adjusted, and the same as the Eight Banners’ salary. I did it intentionally. At least on the surface, the salary of the Eight Banners and the Green Camp must be the same.

As for the Eight Banners soldiers, in order to avoid their dissatisfaction, I intend to provide subsidies secretly and start from welfare. Didn’t Emperor Ama introduce a ‘interest-to-earning silver’ system before? I increased the amount of interest-to-earning silver to them and deposited them all into the ‘Four Great Hengs’. After the spring exam every year, the award will be rewarded according to the assessment results.”

When Yinxiang heard this, he couldn't help but scream. It turned out that Zhenwu was actually playing with Chencang. The "Sales of Earnings" system was allocated by the court to the generals of various places and the chieftains of each banner, so that they could manage the operation and think that the subsidy for the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners was just a temporary subsidy. However, Zhenwu took it at will and became a fixed benefit.

Zhenwu increased the principal of the interest-bearing silver and deposited it into the "Four Great Hengs". This was not only a transaction that would make money without losing money, but also eliminated the commanders of each banner and local generals who had enough money to deduct interest-bearing silver. This move fundamentally guaranteed the welfare of the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners. It was also distributed in the name of spring exam rewards, which not only inspires the training enthusiasm of the Eight Banners soldiers, but also makes people understandable. It is really wonderful.

In this way, at least on the open, the Manchu and Han integration were achieved. The Eight Banners and Green Camps were all in the same way, which not only bought the hearts of the Green Camps, but also gave real benefits to the Eight Banners. This is secondly. Through the navy's pension, whether it is the Manchu and Han people, the Green Camps and the Eight Banners, the Eight Banners and the Eight Banners were all very much promoted. Not only did the Han officials in the court be greatly encouraged, but the gentry and people in the world must also be happy. However, if some people like it, some people are worried. Manchu officials are afraid that they will be very worried. I wonder how to appease Zhenwu?

Yinsi was secretly shocked. The fourteenth brother acted one by one. Who would have thought that there was such a backhand hidden behind him when he threw out the naval pension? If there were princes, nobles or ministers rashly jumping out to object, they would inevitably end up being displeased from all sides, or even being pointed out by thousands of people. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly reminding himself that he should think twice before doing anything in the future.

Just when several people were slacking off, Yin Yi said again, "Emperor, will this abolish the privileges of the Eight Banners affect the interests of the royal family and the nobles of Manchu and Mongolian?"

When Yinsi and Yinzhen heard this, Yinxiang couldn't help but be very concerned and secretly praised Lao Tzu for asking this question. It would be nothing to remove the privileges of the bannermen, but if it violated the rights and interests of the royal family and princes and nobles, it would inevitably be greatly opposed, and it might even end up being betrayed by everyone, and they would not be able to make any wish.

Zhenwu glanced at a few people, smiled slightly, and said, "The Tenth Brother's question is a question." After a moment of pause, he continued, "The royal family and princes and nobles are the real guarantee of imperial power. How could I cut my wings and destroy the Great Wall by myself? The so-called elimination of the Manchu and Han territories and the integration of all races is aimed at gathering the hearts of all races, consolidating the ruling foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and allowing all races to sincerely safeguard the great cause of the Qing Dynasty.

To conquer the world, we must win over Mongolia and rule the world, and we must win over the Han people. Now the Qing Dynasty has expanded its territory overseas and must rely on the navy, and the navy is dominated by the Han people. This requires even more encouraging the Han people and expanding the northwest territory. It must win over the Mongolian, Hui, Tibetan and Wei ethnic groups. Only by integrating all ethnic groups can the Qing Dynasty become stronger, surpass the Yuan and Mongolians, and create the glory of our Qing Empire.

The stronger the Qing Dynasty, the more royal family members, the more noble princes and nobles are, and all kinds of rights will also rise. Think about it, before entering the pass, the royal family members and nobles of the Qing Dynasty may be compared with the present?"

The few people all breathed a sigh of relief when Zhenwu had no intention of infringing on the rights and interests of the royal family and the princes and nobles, then everything would be fine. No matter how he was doing, he said it was also good. The royal family, princes and nobles and the Qing Dynasty were interdependent. The stronger the Qing Dynasty, the more wealth and honor they became.

Seeing that several people stopped saying a word, Zhenwu glanced at Yinsi and said, "Since the Eight Banners and Green Camps have increased the salary of the imperial officials. The salary of the imperial officials will also increase accordingly. For this matter, the eighth brother went to the study room and discussed it. The Ministry of Personnel and wrote a note. Officials should not be too hard-working, otherwise they will force them to bribe and shave the land. The people will suffer in the end. The country is strong, and the officials and the people must benefit from it so that they can be united in one's heart and virtue with the imperial court."
