Chapter 361 Tiger without Claws
After the back pay is paid, the next step is to issue retirement pay to all retired old, weak, sick and disabled, as well as nominal dandy brothers. As for the travel subsidy, the soldiers only need to go to the other side to report their name, unit, and home address, and will be informed by the quartermaster. After registration, you can get the subsidy by signing and depositing your name. It is very user-friendly and makes all soldiers grateful.
The remaining young and strong soldiers need to be assessed and screened, qualified ones join the new division, and those who are eliminated are retired and receive retirement pay and travel subsidies.
Thousands of child soldiers who are unwilling to stay will be given retirement pay and travel subsidies. Those who are willing to stay will also need to pass some low-intensity assessments and enter the reserve force. They will also receive formal military training and can be transferred into the reserve force after they become adults. Active field troops.
The assessment will take place tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. After the retirement pay and travel allowance are paid, all the soldiers will stay in the barracks and are not allowed to leave. However, they will enjoy delicious food such as chicken, duck, fish, etc., and alcohol is prohibited. It can be regarded as the last supper for the 100,000 Beijing troops.
All the soldiers were not dissatisfied at all. The emperor was really considerate and caring towards them. If he was not satisfied, his conscience would be feeding the dogs.
Of course, not all officers and soldiers have no complaints. There are still some officers who have resentment but do not show it.
Early the next morning, Xu Yu conducted an assessment on all young soldiers in accordance with the assessment requirements for recruits. Only more than 3,500 soldiers passed the assessment and were then incorporated into the recruit division and received formal military training.
According to Zhu Youjian's previous recruitment requirements, all soldiers must be farmers' children with a clean background, but this is not absolute. Although most of the more than 3,500 soldiers have been infected with some bad habits of the old army, it is not serious, at least. There is still a chance of salvation. The military is a melting pot for training people.
Furthermore, war will inevitably cause casualties, and the battle-damaged troops need to be replenished. The military has law enforcement gendarmerie. These veteran soldiers who dare to violate military discipline will be punished with confinement. If they dare to turn around and run away on the battlefield, officers and gendarmerie Would shoot without hesitation.
Only iron-like military discipline can create steel warriors.
While Xu Yu was busy assessing the soldiers of the Beijing army, the retired soldiers were already carrying their bags in groups, happily leaving the military camp, going out of the city together, and embarking on their way home.
There were many unidentified people wandering near the military camp. When they saw young and strong soldiers walking out of the military camp dejectedly, they immediately came forward and whispered something. Most of the soldiers shook their heads and left, and some soldiers followed them. Unidentified people walk away.
This scene was all seen by the Jinyiwei spies scattered nearby. Some followed quietly or followed from a distance. It was confirmed that these soldiers followed the unidentified people into a certain house. After identifying the owner of the house, they reported immediately. Go up.
Some spies carefully recorded the number of soldiers who followed the unidentified people and found that there were more than 3,500 soldiers. Although it was not completely accurate, the difference was only within a hundred people.
Tian Boguang, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, did not dare to neglect the situation reported by his subordinates and immediately went to the palace to report.
"Yes, we must commend those spies who have made merit." Zhu Youjian affirmed and commended Tian Boguang's work, reminding him that he should praise and reward his subordinates with merit, so as to stimulate their enthusiasm and stimulate others to compete for merit.
"Yes." Tian Boguang bowed and stepped back. Getting the emperor's affirmation was the best reward for him, and the throne of the commander of the Imperial Guard became more and more stable.
In today's morning court, Zhu Youjian explained the reasons for the disbandment of the 100,000-strong Beijing Army, and officially announced that the Royal First Division, Second Division, Third Division, and Fourth Division, as well as several new recruit divisions later, would all be included in the Ming Dynasty. Wehrmacht series.
The troops with the designation "Royal" are honorary troops. Since the 4th Royal Division, all division-level troops have the designation of the National Defense Force's division, unless the unit has achieved repeated military exploits and has become the elite among the elite. Only the troops can win the glorious title of "Royal".
There had been a lot of commotion over salary increases and retirement pensions, and all the officials knew about it, but there was not much reaction. Seeing that the emperor took the initiative to hand over the elite troops that he spent countless gold, silver and energy on building, everyone secretly relaxed. In one breath, all the officials of the Donglin Party were laughing so hard that they couldn't close their mouths.
The emperor surrendered his military power, which was equivalent to a tiger without claws. They were still afraid of it, so they had to remonstrate and force the emperor to withdraw his intention to tax merchants.
"Your Majesty, I am opposed to taxing merchants."
