Introduce the military household system in Ming Dynasty.

In the twenty-first year of Hongwu (1388), the Ministry of War changed its military status on the basis of the old books of the Yuan Dynasty, made a detailed list of the birthplace of military households, the year when they were transferred to the garrison, and the number of soldiers in the camp, and established a new and relatively complete military household system.

The military duties of military households include: one family went to Wei as a soldier and served as a flag army. Flag soldiers or ethics, or planting; Leaving home, Yu Ding entered the camp with Zheng Jun, assisted Zheng Jun and supplied military uniforms; Under the military households, Yiding must supply the troops in the barracks; If there is no Ding Zhuang at home, you must treat your children as "Xiaoding" in case they become adults.

The military household system, which went against the historical trend, inevitably collapsed in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and the guards and Ming army in the mainland switched to the recruitment system. Zhu Yuanzhang's system of supporting the royal family, coupled with a large number of concubines of princes, grandchildren and grandchildren, led to the development of the royal family to one million people after the twelfth generation, and most of the imperial wealth was occupied by them. The government funds are not enough, so officers all over the country have to raise their own funds to recruit soldiers. As a result, there has been a situation in which a firefight has occurred. For example, Wu Sangui and Zuo Liangyu in the late Ming Dynasty became warlords who controlled private soldiers.

Another evil consequence of the financial shortage and the recruitment system in the Ming Dynasty was that soldiers were recruited urgently during the war, and they were hastily dismissed as soon as the war stopped, without giving resettlement fees. For example, Li Zicheng and Zhang, both from northern Shaanxi, were born as couriers and policemen respectively. They were fired soon after being recruited as soldiers, and they didn't get enough salary. Because of their dissatisfaction, they led the rebellion. From the early years of the Ming Dynasty to the late years of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang practiced all kinds of evil policies in the military system, did not think about change in times of crisis, and eventually the country was ruined, which is precisely a reflection of the decadent and rigid feudal system in China.
