Chapter 518： Disarmament battle

A few days later, a memorial was delivered to Wu Changqing's desktop.

[Disarmament comment. 】

It discusses the necessity of disarmament, and proposes to reduce the number of troops by half, reduce expenditures, and use the money to develop the economy and improve people's livelihood.

There are generally two memorials sent to Wu Changqing, one is public. This kind of meeting will be reviewed by the cabinet before being handed over to the emperor. After the cabinet, it will basically be known to all officials.

The other is secret folding, which will be sent directly to Wu Changqing.

This disarmament briefing is not a confidential matter, so it is in an open form.

Therefore, the military knew at the first time that someone among the civil servants threatened to disarm, and was immediately furious.

They had just fought big victories in the north and the south, and they just returned to Nanjing to rest. They still want to get some rewards and consolidate their power.

As a result, Wen Chen made such a trick, which is really hateful.

Less than a day after the disarmament proposal was delivered to Wu Changqing, several military leaders discussed the importance of maintaining the number of troops.

Some relied on having a good relationship with Wu Changqing and asked to meet and discuss in person.

They all stated that it is too early to disarm at this time. There are Dorgon in the northeast, Mongols in the north, and the Yarkand Khanate in the northwest.

There are He Tengjiao in the central part, Zhang Xianzhong's department, Can Ming in the southwest, Fusang and Westerners overseas...

In short, Dahua needs so many people to clean up, and it needs so many troops.

The argument between the civilian officials and the military commanders was in vain. Wu Changqing had his own plan in his heart, and would not easily shake the plan just because of their argument.

One million troops is not much for a large empire.

Of course, the current proportion of military expenditures is indeed too high, and the proportion of a country’s military expenditures should not exceed 10% of its tax revenue.

This year's military expenditures accounted for 40% of tax revenue.

The key reason is that the current manufacturing of weapons and equipment is still in the high-tech field, and the cost is very high.

Although with the development of science and technology, the technology of grenades and bullets is constantly improving and maturing, and their manufacturing costs are also dropping sharply.

However, with the development of science and technology, various more advanced and expensive weapons are also being equipped with troops, such as various large-caliber cannons, bicycle mobile teams, and iron armored warships.

Therefore, if military expenditures are to be reduced in a short period of time, they must think of other ways.

Wu Changqing thought of the Wei Suo system. The Wei Suo system that Zhu Yuanzhang came up with had various drawbacks, but it was not useless.

The starting point is good for the army to be self-sufficient. As for why it didn't work, it was mainly because of the lack of supervision that the military attache exploited the soldiers at the bottom.

As long as the power of military commanders is restricted, soldiers are given the power to supervise the chief, and then the central government establishes a complete supervision system, then the farming system of this guard station will work.

Let them engage in production on their own and be self-sufficient, so that military spending can be drastically reduced.

After thinking of this method, Wu Changqing held a court meeting.

Since he took the throne, he has rarely conducted such court discussions, mainly because of inefficiency.

However, how to arrange the army and reduce military expenditures this time has something to do with all officials. If you gather to discuss together, it can also give all officials a sense of participation.

Otherwise, Wu Changqing decides everything in one sentence, and those officials probably don't have the experience of being an official, and they have completely become specific executors.

Moreover, everyone can gather together to discuss, and they can also brainstorm, check for omissions and fill vacancies, which is more or less useful.

Although Wu Changqing has extraordinary insights, it is impossible to cover everything when thinking about problems.

North Korea meeting.

It was Dai Li who fired the gun first. He cited a series of figures in an attempt to prove that the military was wasting a lot of military spending.

His data is not fabricated out of thin air, some are indeed true.

For example, nearly a thousand shells were used to attack a small county.

Another example is that some old military uniforms have been thrown away and changed frequently, and the high salaries of certain special arms are even close to the eighth rank officials.

"Master Dai, you should really be sent to the battlefield to make you charge and climb the city wall. Only then will you understand what kind of psychological pressure soldiers face when they break the city.

Then you won't stand here and talk without backache. The morale of the enemy is smashed by our army's shells, and it is not possible to scare the enemy's spirits away by relying on a single name of our army. "

Li Shaobin retorted.

If it weren't for the powerful firepower, how could they be so relaxed when attacking the city.

Before attacking a fortified city, you would have to encircle it for several months at every turn. When the Chinese army was attacking the city, they did not encounter such a situation.

Basically, after a violent bombardment, the enemy was frightened, and then collapsed with one blow.

"How can you justify the military uniform? Such a good uniform was abandoned by you without even the patch. You can't say that with the new uniform, the soldiers are even more afraid of death and bulletproof."

Supervisor Yu Shi Hua Wu questioned.

"The image of the army is the face of my majesty. What's wrong with wearing it better? Master Shi, if you wear patched clothes, it will not affect your work, and it will not affect your loyalty to your majesty. Why do you wear such dazzling and dazzling clothes? What?"

Dai Zhijun retorted.

Hearing Dai Zhijun compare ordinary soldiers with himself, Shi Huawu's beard trembled. What makes him depressed is that he can't refute it yet.

Although he looked down on ordinary soldiers in his heart, he couldn't show it. It's like a dumb eating Coptis chinensis, and there is hardship to tell.

When discussing a major event in the courtroom, such disputes often arise.

However, this is just an appetizer.

First striving for a tone, determining a direction, and then following this direction to solve the problem.

For example, this time, after a fierce debate, the civil servants have a little bit of the upper hand.

It is an objective fact that military expenditure accounts for an excessively high proportion.

The most important thing is that Wu Changqing spoke in person. He said: "The current proportion of military expenditure is indeed higher. You are thinking about how to solve this problem. Don't just think about the simple and rude way of disarmament. I need A more subtle scheme.

It is best to achieve no large-scale disarmament, and to reduce military expenditures by a large margin, while maintaining the military's combat power. "

His remarks are tantamount to setting the tone for disarmament, but the scale should not be too large. It is impossible to cut 500,000.

Moreover, to disarm, to reduce military expenditures, and to maintain combat power, this is the most troublesome place.

Civil officials are not particularly satisfied with this tone, but they are still able to accept it. After all, Wu Changqing has achieved a little bit of results when he said that he wants to disarm.

The military is similar, and while depressed, it can barely accept it.

After all, the civilian officials called out to lay off half a million. Now Wu Changqing says that if they don’t have a large-scale disarmament, it can be considered that they have kept a little bit of ground.

The tone has been set, the next step is to brainstorm and find a way together.

And this is the time to test the abilities of officials.

Anyone knows how to spray people like that before.

If you don't have good suggestions and opinions when solving the problem, you will not be pleased by the emperor if you only spray people.
