The great victory over the Later Jin Dynasty brought great joy to the Ming Dynasty.|Among every two people who read romance, one registered an account with °.com. Not long after, the emperor rewarded the land, issued medals, and was a great reward of the meritorious person.

Liaodong Town was also successfully sacked by Zhu Youjiao. The soldiers happily retired from the army and farmed, with at least 80 acres of land, so that they could have food and clothing in the future. Zhu Youjiao considered that natural disasters might occur frequently in the next few years and may affect the Liaodong area. In order to prevent these veterans from rebelling, various veterans guarantee measures were announced.

First, the Supreme Command established a "Veter's Security Department", which provides relief to all the affected soldiers who have been reborn and help them resume production free of charge. Second, veterans can be exempted from agricultural tax when encountering injuries or disasters. Third, veterans can be exempted from corvee labor, and agricultural tax is paid in ten. At the same time, it is stipulated that the agricultural tax for veterans will be collected by the Veterans Security Department to prevent local governments from causing problems.

The first step to abolish the Liaodong Army is only the first step, and the second step is to gradually abolish professional soldiers from the Central Army. The first one to be abolished were the spearmen in the Central Army.

At this time, the Later Jin Dynasty had been eliminated, the Ming army had field artillery units, and the musketeers were equipped with bayonets. The most important thing was that 40,000 cavalry had been trained. At this time, the infantry no longer needed pike soldiers for protection, so the pike soldiers were among the first targets to be removed after the war.

The Central Army's 15 infantry divisions have 70,000 spearmen were abolished.

The rewards for the Central Army in this battle were much higher than those of the Liaodong Army. Many soldiers even accumulated two or three hundred acres of land and became a small landlord after they were discharged from the army. Of course, the court does not encourage them to rent the land to tenant farmers now. After the "Ten Rent Law" was introduced, this model had no future.

Therefore, after many Central Army soldiers retired, they converted their land to a military agricultural company established by the "Veterans Security Department".

Agricultural companies established by the military enjoy preferential tax rates and advanced agricultural production technology, as long as the grain can be sold, there will be dividends every year.

However, although the Central Army soldiers were about to be discharged from the army of 70,000, only half of them were actually discharged from the army. Some of the remaining half were kept, while others were converted into conscripts.

Li Lin was a spearman who voluntarily turned into a conscript. He did not want to retire from the army or leave the military camp. His ancestors were all military households in Yansui Town and had been digging food in the soil. It was not until his generation that he met a good emperor, which allowed him to fill his stomach and support his family. He could also make achievements.

He did not want to continue to dig food in the soil, he wanted to make greater contributions. Li Lin, who had been influenced by the cultural courses of the Central Army, knew that there would be many opportunities to make achievements in the future. Because there were also large areas on that world map that did not belong to the barbarians of the Ming Dynasty.

It doesn't matter if the spearman is eliminated. He can be converted to a musketeer and continue to serve for five years. As long as he can improve his culture, he is likely to become an officer.

The first batch of Central Army retired were actually less than 40,000. Some of the pike soldiers left behind were converted into musketeers, some turned into artillery, and even scouts and cavalry.

The professional soldiers in the Central Army are three types of arms: artillery, cavalry, and scout. These three types of arms are professional soldiers that do not need to be laid off.

It is also easier for the Central Army to transfer to employees. Because they have learned a certain culture in the army, many of them are sent to the Technical College to study and transfer to the technical work. The Royal Consortium companies are also welcome to these Central Army soldiers. Recruiting qualified employees is preferred for the Central Army soldiers.

The musketeers in the Central Army will be replaced by conscripts one after another. Some will be sent to the Royal Military Academy to study and become officers, some will be discharged from the army, and some will be converted into conscripts.

In the Forbidden City, the emperor was convening a meeting of the Supreme Command.

Lu Xiangsheng reported to Zhu Youxiao about the military expenditure reduction plan formulated by the General Staff. "While laying off professional soldiers, the court will continue to expand two cavalry divisions, thus building ten cavalry divisions, with a total of 50,000 troops. Five field artillery regiments will be expanded, thus increasing to the scale of eight field artillery regiments, with 576 field artillery pieces. The scale of professional soldiers will be retained at 60,000."

"The current musketeers of the Central Army are planned to be replaced with conscripts within two years. At the same time, ten more infantry divisions will be built within two years, so that the number of infantry divisions will reach 25. The force is 250,000. The musketeers will be fully streamlined. Musketeers will no longer be equipped with iron armor and leather armor, and the equipment cost of musketeers will be reduced to five yuan per person, and the monthly food and training consumption will be maintained within one yuan." Lu Xiangsheng reported that the equipment cost was very low, only 5 silver dollars can be used to equip a soldier. But in fact it is already very luxurious. The military purchase price of a musket is only 3 yuan, and the other 2 yuan is counted as military uniforms, shoes and socks. The monthly consumption cost of 1 yuan is the largest, food and gunpowder, but in fact, 1 yuan is still very abundant. After all, the food for soldiers is very enough to eat, and they are both meat and vegetables. The remaining 5 cents are mainly consumed in terms of gunpowder.

"After the twenty-five infantry divisions are formed, the nine sides will be completely abolished. The court's elite combat troops will be composed of ten cavalry divisions, twenty-five infantry divisions and eight artillery regiments. The estimated daily military expenditure will be 12 million yuan per year. At the same time, the navy's annual military expenditure will be 5 million yuan, and the military expenditure will be 17 million yuan."

"In addition, ten production corps are formed every year, each production corps opens a 100,000 acres of farm, goes to the frontier to reclaim wasteland, adopts a semi-agricultural and semi-military training management model, so that the court has a group of second-line troops."

"The production corps should be modified to fifteen!" Zhu Youxiao said that the production corps is actually the model of later generations, but it is the same as the garrison system in the Ming Dynasty, and they are both military farms. However, the garrison system uses military households, and has been military households for generations. These military households have to support their families and cannot fight when they are old. Over time, the corruption of the system is an inevitable result.

The production corps uses conscripts, and the iron-killed soldiers can be replaced with fresh blood every year. Young people aged 17 or 18 have no burden to support their families, and it is also a stage of immature thoughts, which is easier to shape and dare to fight and rush during combat.
