Tun, literally, the "tun" of tuntian.

The full name of Tun is called "Tuntian Hundred Households", and the highest governor is Hundred Households.

If there is a foreign enemy nearby, several "tuns" can be combined into one "fort", which can be organized to jointly resist the enemy's attack.

The place names of later generations "XX Tun" and "XX Fort" evolved in this way, and it was originally only a Tuntian unit in the Ming Dynasty.

Kuai Laosan was arranged in Wanghaitun, which is very close to the sea, and it takes six or seven miles to the northeast to reach the Gaizhou Acropolis.

The local officer fulfilled his promise, and there were three people in Kuai Laosan's family, and they were actually allocated 30 acres of land. And it's all familiar land, I don't know if it belonged to an officer or a military household before, but it ran away without a shadow and became a borderless land.

There are 29 households in Wanghaitun, with a total of 74 men, women and children.

Two days ago, the officers came over to distribute the ploughing cattle and seeds, and the whole Tun father and elder shared a ploughing ox. And it was given to them, unlike before, when the public cattle were raised and died, they had to be compensated.

Who would deliberately raise them to death?

The farmer who makes a living from farming is eager to offer his cattle as his ancestors.

Wei Li also sent a scholar over, and heard that it was a student of Wang Shilang. led them to set up a Rausch agricultural mutual aid group, a fart mutual aid group, isn't it you help me, I help you, everyone who has their own land used to do this.

The scholar also brought corn and soybean seeds and said he would teach them how to grow corn.

Kuai Laosan had only heard of beans, and he had seen corn for the first time, and he didn't know if it was good or not.

However, the scholar was very kind, and took them to dig a ditch after the snow melted. It was a canal dug during the Yongle period, and many sections were unusable, but under the leadership of the scholars, the old and young masters worked together, and it only took half a month to fully recover.

"Mr. Long, you are so knowledgeable, will you be a big official in the future?" With an admiring expression, Kuai Xiaomei took the opportunity to send water to take the initiative to talk.

Long Danian smiled: "I'm not a gentleman, just a Shuntianfu talent." When you are taught to plant corn, you will rush back to the capital to study and prepare for the township exam. ”

Kuai Xiaomei asked again: "Will that delay your exam?" ”

Long Danian said: "No. Mr. often said that all things are knowledge, and the Tao is contained in all things. I came to teach you to farm, and I am also on the road, which is much more interesting than staying in the capital and dying. ”

Although Kuai Xiaomei didn't understand any avenues, she admired this scholar more and more, and she couldn't wait to talk to each other all day long.

Kuai Laosan knows his sister's thoughts, but what can he say? I only hope that my little sister will be favored by Mr. Long, that is, she will be accepted back to the capital as a concubine, and she will have more hope than staying in Liaodong.

At this moment, Bentun Baihu Xie Rang came over with thirty or forty newcomers.

Most of the newcomers were men, some were exiles, some were exiles, and some were exiles, who had been brought in by sea a few days ago. A lot of people were transported over, but they were assigned to Wanghaitun, and only these were left in front of them.

"Hurry up, grinding, I haven't eaten!" One of the flag officers scolded and occasionally kicked with his feet.

But everyone is used to this, and even thinks that the officers here are really kind.

Try it in other guards, but the homeless people will be returned, and the outcasts will be miserable. When they first arrived at the place of exile, they had to give the officers "meeting money", and if they couldn't get the money, they would be killed, and some exiles were directly beaten to death.

Baihu Xie Rang was originally fierce and vicious, and when he saw Long Danian, he immediately made a move: "Mr. Long, I have worked hard these days. ”

"It doesn't matter." Long Danian returned the salute.

After Wang Yuan came to Gaizhou, he wrote back to the capital, and did not require anything, only asked the students to sign up to help. More than 30 came at once, and Long Danian was one of them, he was tall and majestic in the eyes of Kuai Xiaomei, but he was actually just a talent who had failed many times.

But even if he is just a showman, with the aura of Wang Yuan's disciple, he can walk sideways in Gaizhouwei, and the commander makes Yuan Da polite to them.

"Dangdang, dang, dang!"

The bell rang inside the tunzi, and all the staff rushed over.

Baihu Xie Rang said: "Before, there were not even people, there was no division of soldiers and tun households, and now there are 118 people in Bentun. Among them, 10 people were drawn for the regular army, and 10 people were selected for the rest of the army (reserve and wartime auxiliaries). Click on the name of the three-pillar! ”

Kuai Laosan didn't know whether to cry or laugh, he was actually taken to be a soldier. It's better to be a soldier than to be a tunhu, at least for a short time, you won't be called to death by the officer.

In the Ming Dynasty, the proportion of military households and tun households is one each.

If you are on the front line, out of a hundred military households, about 80 are soldiers, and the remaining 20 are farming. If it is in the rear, the proportions are reversed. Ordinary guards, the kind that occasionally fights, the soldiers and the tun households are about half divided.

Of course, this was a regulation in the early Ming Dynasty, and the current officers are all fooling around with their hearts.

After reading the names of the twenty regular soldiers, Xie Rang said again: "Come and lead the soldiers!" Say it in advance, if you don't pass the drill, you have to return the armor to Lao Tzu! ”

Kuai Lao San was at the front of the line, and he was given a set of cotton armor, a pair of leather boots, a saber, a firecracker, and ammunition sacs.

The ten regular soldiers all received this set of equipment, and the remaining ten more troops turned sabers into waist knives, and fire guns into spears.

Kuai Laosan has no interest in weapons, only loves cotton armor and boots, these clothes and shoes are so good, he never dreamed that he could have them.

Xie Rang continued: "Your Majesty wants to build a Shenxiao camp, with a full amount of 5,000 people, which is a team that can ride horses and release guns. If you practice the firecrackle well, you will be able to ride a horse in two years, and all of you will be sent to Gaizhou for training. Let me tell you, the food in the Shenxiao camp is very good, and the military pay is much higher, and only the bravest soldiers can be selected! Give Lao Tzu a good practice, if none of you are selected, see how Lao Tzu comes back to clean you up! ”

A tall and thin Yu Jun asked: "Xie Baihu, I didn't get the firecracker, can I enter the Shenxiao camp in the future?" ”

Xie Rang replied: "If you practice well, you will be transferred from the remaining army to the regular army, and you will naturally be able to receive the firecracker." In the same way, if the regular army is not good at drilling, go back and get the spear honestly! What is your name? ”

The man said: "My name is Xie Wang, the word is beautiful, and I am from my own family. ”

"What did you do and exile Liaodong?" Xie Rang asked.

Xie Wang didn't care and said, "Killed two people." ”

Xie Rang asked curiously: "If you kill two people, you don't ask about beheading?" ”

Xie Wang explained: "When I lost my father at the age of five, my mother brought me up and gave me work for me to study. Just last year, when my mother was working for someone, she was stolen two pieces of money. ”

"You killed someone?" Xie Rang asked.

Xie Wang shook his head and said, "That evil woman slandered my mother and stole money, and deducted my mother's salary, and publicized this matter everywhere. even went to the county school to take away my food. My mother hanged herself to prove her innocence, and in a fit of rage, I killed both of them. I wanted to slaughter him, but unfortunately I couldn't catch it, and I was sent to see the official. The county took pity on me for being filial, and I was a student in the county, so he only sentenced me to exile. ”

Xie Rang felt that he had picked up a treasure: "You are still a child!" Lao Tzu happens to be short of paperwork, so don't be a soldier, come to me to do paperwork. You killed well, humiliated your mother, and you should be killed! ”

Such a good thing, but Xie Wang didn't appreciate it, and said with his head held high: "The kindness of hundreds of households is appreciated in my heart." A good man is reincarnated, and if he can't be named on the gold list, he will immediately take fame from there. ”

"Hahaha, whatever you want," Xie Rang laughed, "It's better to be like this, you are a soldier during the exercise, and you usually make clerical work for Lao Tzu." By the way, I taught my son to read, and after a few days, my wife and children came from the capital. ”

Xie Rang was happy, and suddenly a fast horse rushed over: "Xie Baihu, Wang Shilang has an order, immediately set off with ten soldiers, and gather in Gaizhou City before tomorrow!" ”

Xie Rang was surprised: "It's going to be a war?" ”

The person who reported the news said: "Fuzhou mutiny, Wang Shilang wants to suppress it in person!" ”

Liaodong Yuanma Temple and Yongning Prison, two horse breeding institutions, are located in Yongning Supervision City near Fuzhou City. The largest official ranch in southern Liaoning is also located in Fuzhou!

Wang Yuan just asked Yuanma Temple to check the racecourse, and as soon as the news was released, Fuzhou Wei directly played a mutiny, and also killed more than a dozen officials in the Qingzhang racecourse.

Wang Erlang was furious.
