From Soldier To Emperor

Chapter 208: Take over

The maintenance costs of the municipal committees are covered by the local gentry class themselves. If they do not maintain the dissolution, they will lose even the most basic rights to participate in and discuss politics!

The force of the local garrison was completely taken into the hands of the central court. The local garrison no longer obeyed the local government, but was directly under the jurisdiction of the central court, and theoretically was equal to the local government.

However, the local government has the right to report. If the local garrison makes a mistake or has a tendency to rebel, the local government can directly report to the central court.

In the same way, after the municipal council shrank into a purely political participation and discussion department, it also became a nominal supervisory office.

Their right to participate in and discuss politics sounds nice, but in fact they have no influence on the local government, because the administrative and judicial powers are all controlled by the local government. The municipal committee's suggestion that the local government can just find any reason to treat it as fart!

It is a matter of time for this kind of department to become a subordinate institution of the local government, and it can easily become a springboard for the local government to grasp the local gentry class.

Therefore, Richard positioned the function of the municipal committee on supervision.

Although their local rights are very small, they can impeach the local government from the cabinet of the central court anytime and anywhere.

Of course, it is impossible for the central court to punish the local government because of the impeachment of the municipal committee. If the impeachment is true, the central court will send special prosecutors to the local government to rectify.

In this regard, the municipal committee became a purely supervisory department, because the members of the supervisory department of the municipal committee were all wealthy gentry, and it was difficult for the local government to buy.

However, the municipal committee has no right to dictate to the local government, only the right to make a small report, and it is difficult to infiltrate the local government.

Of course, the supervision is mutual, and the local government can also report the municipal committee.

It's just that the municipal council itself has no rights, no matter what, so there are very few mistakes...

This system is already the best mutual supervision system that Richard can think of. Moreover, he took the power of the armed men from the local Han gentry class out of thin air, and acted as a local garrison to eliminate the greatest crisis in the Western Regions. It's a big profit.

After a series of reforms, Richard determined that the local Han landlord and gentry class was unable to resist himself. In order to alleviate the financial pressure on the local garrison army, and at the same time to make the soldiers of the local garrison army more at heart, he promulgated the military merits and land grant system. .

The vast majority of the land acquired by the officers and soldiers of the local garrison were previously copied from the homes of the rebel landlords, and some were the land owned by the gentry landlords who could not afford the high land taxes and did not want to distribute them to relatives free of charge and sold them to the government at low prices. .

It is a waste of these fields in the hands of the imperial court. The local government has to manage the people as well as public security. It is already very busy all day long. It is impossible to set up a separate department and promote a large number of officials to manage the cultivation of these fields. Doing so will greatly increase administrative costs.

Therefore, the confiscated land and the land purchased at a low price from the landlord and gentry have all become the military land of the officers and soldiers of the local garrison corps. With the military land, these soldiers are basically completely separated from their original personal feelings for the owner's family.

It turned out that when the landlord was in charge, it was difficult to get his own property, but when he worked to the court, he immediately got his own property. Which one is better than he is?

The system of granting land for military merit can be said to be a relatively advanced policy in the feudal military system. In the history of the earth, most of the founding dynasties adopted a similar policy of dividing land for soldiers to buy people's hearts and improve combat effectiveness.

The Futian system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Weisuo system of the Ming Dynasty, and the Eight Banners iron crops of the Qing Dynasty are basically the same principle.

It's just that in the late stage, the best system tends to deteriorate gradually due to high-level greed and bureaucratic corruption. The beneficiaries of the distribution of land will also have the guarantee of wealth, and the combat effectiveness of each generation is not as good as the generation...

However, the effect of this system in the initial stage is definitely significant, especially the first generation of people who have been allocated fields are definitely hard-core supporters of the court, because without the court they will lose their military field. It is strange if they don't work hard!

For the Ming Dynasty in the Western Regions, which was in financial difficulties and was undergoing currency reforms, military merits were definitely the fastest way to gather people's hearts.

In the 5th year of Ming Dynasty, a series of reforms were basically settled, and a small part of the landlord and gentry class who were unwilling to take risks were quickly suppressed.

Because the landlord gentry class was divided and disintegrated and lost the family's armed forces, the ability to rebel was very weak. Therefore, most Han gentry landlords chose to appoint and actively cooperate with the central court. Only a few Han gentry landlords instigated the Semu serfs to rebel.

In the Western Regions, the appeal of rebellion is still possible, because the Semu people who occupy the majority of the population belong to the oppressed stage. After the Ming Dynasty ruled the Western Regions ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ this kind of oppression did not drop but increased, and there were originally many Semu people. Still a free man, Richard claimed that the queen suddenly became a serf!

Therefore, as long as the Han gentry dared to spare their lives, they could always easily arouse the **** serfs under their hands.

It is a pity that the Semu serfs are not the opponents of the local garrison and the auxiliary army. Although there are many rebels in various places, in the most intense year of the 4th year of the Ming Dynasty, there were hundreds of insurgents, but they insisted on more than one. There is no family of Yue's rebels...

Even the insurgents that broke through the county seat did not show up...

In this collision of reforms, the only beneficiary was the Ming Central Court. They obtained a large number of high-quality land for free and successfully eliminated the ‘brave and spoil the people’ from the gentry class.

The impact of creating opposition to the place is not great, after all, even the city has not been breached, at most it is just a group of people who die.

Compared with the damage caused by Richard's war to unify the Western Regions, this level of rebellion is purely kindergarten...

In the fierce reform and suppression of rebellion, although the mosquitoes were small, their accumulation allowed Li Yaguo to earn 1,000 Qiyun coins.

This is mainly because the uprising team is too fragmented. If they can unite to form a large-scale rebel army, or even break through a county, then suppress the rebellion and obtain more Qiyun coins.

Of course, Richard would not allow the development of the rebel army for a little gas coin...

If the city is broken by that kind of garbage rebels, it will be a huge prestige blow to Richard's court, and it will only give birth to more careerists!

Richard received the shocking news from the Central Plains after a series of combo boxing in the Western Regions without any damage to the gentry class force!
