“Roasted chicken is poisonous!”

The first thing I understood was the king. He screamed, covered his stomach, and rolled on the ground continuously.

The beggars then woke up.

"He's what he is, puppy, you're so cruel!"

"Ah, no wonder he doesn't eat it."

"Bastard, why should we harm us?"

"Puppy, save me, I will never scold you again."

Some people cry, some scold, and some beg for mercy.

At this moment, the puppy stopped giggling. He stood proudly, looking down at everyone lying on the ground coldly, his eyes as cold as a butcher facing the lamb being slaughtered.

The old dog climbed in front of the puppy with difficulty and hugged the puppy's legs tremblingly: "Dog, save me..."

The puppy smiled, no longer a foolish smile, but a sarcastic smile.

"Old dog, do you think that if you have saved me, I should save you too?" the puppy said coldly. He looked down at the old dog without even bent his knees.

The old dog nodded vigorously.

The puppy looked sarcastic: "You are wrong. I won't save you, nor can I save you. Do you know what poison you are in? It's arsenic!"

"Arsenic!"

"So vicious!"

"Fight with him!"

The beggars became even more desperate and cried, but no one could get up.

"Dou'er, I saved you. I'm your savior. Why do I want to be poisoned?" The old dog couldn't figure it out. He shed tears and wanted to know the reason.

"Yes, you saved me, but you didn't want to save me at first, but were greedy for the clothes on me. By the way, you took the ten-month copper coins in my arms, right?" The puppy's voice was cold.

"I... I took care of you for three days. If it weren't for me, you would have died long ago." The old dog burst into tears.

"Yes, a big bowl of cold water every day is your care for me. If I hadn't been in good health, I would have starved to death."

The puppy sounds colder.

"Dou'er, I'm your adoptive father!" The old dog cried loudly.

"What adoptive father? You just treat me as a dog!"

The puppy kicked the old dog away and walked towards the king.

The king ate two chicken legs, and he ate the most and was poisoned the most. However, he had good physical fitness and could not move the beggars, so he could stagger and stand up and run into the temple. However, after only two steps, he fell to the front of the temple gate with a bang.

The puppy walked up and looked at him with pity.

Blood began to seep out of the king's nostrils. Obviously, his internal organs had been damaged, but he did not die immediately. He opened his eyes wide and asked in a whimpering voice: "Why? If you don't want to stay here, you can leave. Why do you poison us?"

The puppy's voice was as cold as ice on the snowy mountain: "Because I like to kill people."

"You... a madman!" The king couldn't understand the puppy's words, but he saw some kind of madness in the puppy's eyes.

"In addition, something on you attracted me." The puppy smiled sinisterly.

"My body?" The king was confused for a moment, and then he understood that there was only one treasure on him: "My knife?"

"clever."

The puppy nodded, squatted down, held down the king, and took out a short knife with a sheath from the king's arms.

It's a Japanese knife.

Gently pull out, the blade is sharp.

"It is a waste to stay by your side such a self-defense weapon, but if I ask you, you will definitely not give it to me. If I grab it, I can't beat you, so I have to make this decision."

The puppy blade returned to the sheath and sighed and explained.

But the king could no longer hear it.

Blood bleeds in seven orifices, eyes wide open to death.

After a scream, the beggars in front of the temple also disappeared.

The puppy stood up, looked at the Land Temple, and walked away with a knife.

"Dog..."

Unexpectedly, the old dog was not dead yet, his eyes were bleeding, and he tried his best to stretch out his right hand, trying to catch the puppy in afar.

The puppy stopped for a moment, but did not look back after all.

...

Capital.

Surrounded by the Jinyiwei, Zhu Cixuan left the north gate and headed towards the schoolyard outside the city. After leaving the city, Zhu Cixuan ordered the Jinyiwei to disperse from afar, leaving him and Chen Xinjia to whisper in the center.

"Budang, what do you think of my Ming military system?"

Zhu Cixuan asked.

"this……"

Chen Xinjia didn't expect Zhu Cixuan to ask this, but he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

The military system of the Ming Dynasty was mainly military household system of the garrison and recruitment system as the supplement.

The so-called Weishu system is that soldiers farm in peacetime and fight in wartime, and they are both soldiers and farming, similar to the military farming system in the Tang Dynasty.

The elite troops were selected as the Beijing Army, that is, the three major camps of the capital. After becoming the Beijing Army, the treatment was twice as good as before. In this way, most of the elite soldiers in the world were in the hands of the emperor.

However, in the 14th year of Zhengtong, after the "Tumu Fort" change, the Beijing army was wiped out. In order to defend the capital, the court had to implement the recruitment system on a large scale. The advantages of the recruitment system were soon revealed. Generally, the army with strong combat effectiveness was recruited.

In the Wanli Dynasty, Qi Jiguang's "Qi Family Army" and Yu Dayou's "Yu Family Army" were the pinnacle of the Ming Dynasty's recruitment system.

However, the recruitment system consumes a huge amount of money, and the average food and salary consumed by one soldier exceeds the twenty soldiers in the garrison.

With the fiscal revenue of the court, it is impossible to promote on a large scale.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty was still dominated by military troops. For a period of time, the recruitment system even disappeared.

The ward system was originally a very good system. It could support a large number of troops with a small amount of money and grain, but the bad ones were bad. There is the word "hereditary". The so-called hereditary means that the father passed on to the son and the son passed on to the grandson. Your father is a soldier, and you can't run away even if you are a soldier.

When the Ming Dynasty was first established, because of the high status of military positions, when soldiers have glory and military farming guarantees, it is a great thing to be included in the military households. However, time has changed, as military positions are completely suppressed by civilian positions, especially when the national treasury is empty and food and wages cannot be distributed on time, military households become the most miserable group of people.

To make matters worse, with the corruption of the administration, officers occupied the military farms of the guards and became big landlords. Not only did the military households have to be soldiers and assume military obligations, but they also had to serve as long-term workers for the officers, farm and feed. Once there was any resistance, they would be beaten with a whip and deal with it by military law.

If you are a farmer, you can also appeal to the prefecture government office and ask the adults to break up. However, the military household is a soldier and has no power at all, so you can only break your teeth and swallow it.

In addition, since the late Wanli Dynasty, wars have been happening forever, and those who are in the army have been killed. Whenever they fight, soldiers have to bring their own food. Joining the army is like serving hard labor. In this way, no one is willing to be a military household, and more and more people are fleeing their hometowns.

As more people escape from the hiring, fewer people join the army. It doesn’t matter if it is normal. Anyway, the food and salary are paid in full. The fewer soldiers, the more empty salary the officers can be greedy. If the superiors come to inspect, the officers will hire some "temporary workers", gangsters and beggars, and anyone can do it, as long as they can hold weapons and act like they are. When the superiors leave, these "soldiers" will naturally disappear.

But once a war occurs and the army is about to go to war, it will be a big deal.

Ten thousand military households cannot even get out of 5,000 soldiers, most of them are the elderly, weak, sick and disabled.

This is the biggest drawback of the Ming military system.

In Zhu Cixuan's view, the military household system of the garrison has reached a time when it must be completely abolished. Only by completely abolishing can the court use the saved food and wages to recruit troops.

If you don’t recruit soldiers, you will not have elite soldiers, and if you don’t have elite soldiers, you will be destroyed.

However, the military household system is the ancestral system. In the Ming Dynasty, when something encounters the ancestral system, it is difficult to move. Not only the Ming Dynasty, but also the Chinese court has always been this kind of nature. The ancestral law is more important than the heavens. Wang Anshi, a famous prime minister, had the strong support of Emperor Shenzong of Song, but he could not pry the stubborn stone of the "ancestral system". In contrast, Zhang Juzheng of this dynasty was much smarter. He was doing reform, but he held high the banner of the ancestral system and labeled all those who resisted the reform into opposition to the ancestral system. With the banner of "justice" of the ancestral system in his hands, his reforms will eventually succeed.

Therefore, Zhu Cilang should learn from Zhang Juzheng.

Before this, he wanted to listen to other people's opinions, especially Chen Xinjia is the current Minister of War, and should have some insights into the Ming military system.

After asking, Zhu Cilang was not in a hurry, he waited quietly.

This question is a bit big, Chen Xinjia must think about it.

Chen Xinjia was a smart man. Although Zhu Cilang's question surprised him, he quickly figured out Zhu Cilang's thoughts: the prince would not ask this question for no reason. Since he asked, it would mean he was dissatisfied with the imperial military system.

In fact, the important officials in the court knew the pros and cons of the recruitment system and the garrison system, but it was not easy to change it. First, the court had no money to recruit soldiers at all, and even the food and salary of the garrison soldiers could not be supported. Second, once the garrison system was abolished, it would touch the interests of the noble court officials. Over the years, they knew the best how much blood was sucked on the garrison soldiers and how many servants who did not spend money were used, so they would not support the abolition of the garrison system. Three, the garrison system was the foundation of the garrison system. Once it was changed, where did the required military source come from?
