It was common for the defeat of the army in the late Ming Dynasty to be a common occurrence.

There are many reasons.

For example, military discipline is corrupt.

For example, an outsider commands an insider.

For example, the emperor's own micro-operation.

For example, the out-of-control of large-scale battles.

For example, the fundamental reason is that there is no money.

Without money, many things cannot be done. Ordinary soldiers are just ordinary people. Ordinary people first start from themselves when considering problems.

They couldn't even eat enough, let alone typing on the keyboard to generate electricity by relying on the feudal ideals of the Zhu family.

Therefore, the basis for training the new army is that military expenditure can keep up. Zhang Chen's military structure also requires huge military expenditures.

For example, the number of people in the General Staff, the number of people in the Governor's Office, and the Military and Political Yuan.

Everyone has to stutter and eat.

For example, the current training of Tianxiong Army.

Li Banghua raised some objections to this point.

He said: "Your Majesty, regarding the daily training of the new army, I think it's enough to have a small exercise every three days and a big exercise every ten days. There is no need to practice every day, otherwise the food may not be able to keep up."

Chongzhen's drawings clearly stated that the new army now wants to have a daily small and three-day big, which significantly improves the strength of the army's training.

The army is full of people. If the soldiers cannot increase their food, they will not be able to fulfill the emperor's idea.

Generally speaking, soldiers eat 2 kilograms of grain every day. If they follow the daily small food and three-day big food, the soldiers may have to earn 4 kilograms of grain every day, which requires very high requirements for military ration supply.

Shuntian Prefecture has suffered a disaster this year. If the new army increases food, it means that the food purchased from other places will be doubled.

Double the grain purchased means that the loss of the journey will also increase, and this cost is growing invisibly.

"I am also planning to discuss with you the issue of feeding the new army. If you want to have a strong army, you must strengthen your daily training. This is understandable. You are nothing more than worrying about the increase in military ration consumption and the increase in military expenditure."

"You must worry about fighting. I have enough military expenditure. You just think about how to temper an army that can conquer and fight well!"

After the emperor said this, everyone was confident. Since the budget was enough, there was no need to worry too much.

British Duke Zhang Weixian said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that you should replenish more meat. After eating meat, people will be full of energy and have strong energy."

"The British Duke said it well, and I mean that."

Sun Chengzong took over and said, "Your Majesty, one pound of pork in Shuntian Mansion now costs 40 cents, and one pound of pasta costs 6 cents. Each Tianxiong Army replenishes half a pound of pork and two pounds of pasta every day, which costs 52 cents. Ten thousand people only need at least 520 taels for eating, which costs 15,600 taels a month, and eat nearly 200,000 taels a year (about 130 million yuan). If you raise 100,000 Jingwei Army in the future, you will eat 2 million taels a year (about 1.3 billion yuan). This is a huge expense."

Sun Chengzong has settled the accounts very carefully, and Chongzhen has also forgotten them. Of course, he has to settle them, but he can't even settle the accounts. How can he manage such a big country?

In the Ming Dynasty, taxes in a year are now converted into silver, which is almost less than 4 million taels.

The new army's algorithm has not included military pay, pension, and rewards.

If you don’t configure meat or just add some oil and water, it will be much cheaper.

Each person eats 6 cents a day, and 100,000 people only eat 220,000 taels a year.

Putting these two choices together, the latter obviously looks tempting enough, because the money spent in hand is real money, and the court is already in trouble.

After Sun Chengzong calculated the account, everyone else was silent.

Chongzhen said: "According to this configuration, the army is the national security line. The money saved by the army must be returned in other places. We have tried to learn a lesson at the end of last year. We should not save money on it anymore. I will find a way to do it, so don't worry."

The emperor said everything to this point, what else do you have to say?

Everyone was quite moved.

"That's it. From now on, the new army will have to run at least twenty miles a day, and the small food will run at least twenty miles a day. Do the test first. In one month, it will be enough to see if half a pound of meat is enough for everyone a day. If it is not enough, it will be added. I need a month later, the Military and Political Yuan will be able to issue a standard."

Li Banghua said: "Yes!"

"You guys remember that managing a huge organization requires setting up multiple standards, especially the army. There is no need to establish perfect standards on each item. There must be no ambiguity. What I need is an iron army that will hit wherever it is pointed!"

"I remember it in my heart!"

"You should follow the people from the General Staff yourself first, and this standard must be established as soon as possible. I must set a goal. Three months later, on July 1st, I will ask the Tianxiong Army and the Shenwu Guard to conduct large-scale practical exercises!"

As soon as the emperor said this, Sun Chuanting suddenly felt the pressure soaring, but he didn't say anything.

A real man will resist things when things come, even if the mountains fall from the sky, he will resist it!

"I will receive the order!"

"Li Aiqing, the inspector must be stepped up. Every army must have an inspector. The inspector manages military discipline on weekdays and does not interfere in wartime. However, the military discipline is dispersed. I am the first to find an inspector to find your military supervisor's office!"

"yes!"

Next, the emperor explained some other details.

In fact, except for the General Staff, which was a new thing, the emperor said, everything else was found in ancient China.

For example, the inspector is a civil servant who supervises and manages military discipline, which is to use civil servants to control military discipline.

The Song and Ming dynasties were separated by military and political affairs, and the use of literature to control the military was not a problem.

It is indeed impossible to give all the power in military and political affairs to military generals, which is very dangerous.

The role of inspector is somewhat similar to that of the governor in the Ming army, but the difference is that the governor has great power and can directly decide how to fight this battle.

In other words, the Ming Dynasty's wars were all decided by civil servants.

This is the layman commanding and expert.

There are a few civil servants who can command properly, but that is only a few, most of them are cheating.

And what about the inspectors in the new army?

Once he enters a state of war, he has no command unless the supreme military commander is killed.

Inspectors' management of military discipline in daily life can also effectively curb the military commander's hostage to the army. After a thousand years of war, China in later generations basically maintained the loyalty and combat effectiveness of the army.

After discussing the new military system with everyone, Chongzhen took everyone out.

At this time, Xu Guangqi, Bi Maokang and Johnson Chan were all on the school grounds outside.

Some targets were prepared on the school ground.
