Chapter 296: A small step for Wang Fugui, a big step for the Ming Dynasty

"This, this is a guillotine meal"

Sun Yingkui was dazed, when he saw the sad faces, and the sobbing sound that followed, he was suddenly stunned that it was true, he really wanted to kill them!

Sun Yingkui threw himself in front of the door, fell to his knees, clutched the door with both hands, and cried bitterly.

"Spare your life! Wronged! The court can't kill us! Kill us and the town of Thistle will fall! The Tartars will come in and slaughter you all! ”

"Lord Wang, I know you are scaring us, you can't destroy the Great Wall! I beg you! Spare me! Even if I plough the fields! ”

"Brothers in Jizhen, you bastards, why don't you speak for Lao Tzu! Why is there no Lao Tzu, can there be your ungrateful things today! ”

He scolded, and the soldier in charge of the guard finally couldn't help but scold: "What's the ghost called, how do you know that the big guy didn't speak for you?"

"What"

At this time, Sun Qian also ran over and said excitedly: "Someone wrote a book to plead for mercy, so why don't you let us go, why do you want to kill us?"

"It's a pity that the book is on! The big guy thinks it's more important without you! ”

"What" Sun Yingkui and Sun Qian were stunned, what does this mean

"I don't understand, it's just that the big guys are all in the book, and they want the court to slaughter you bastards! You all deserve to die! "The guard's words were like a thunderbolt that fell on the heads of these people.

Utter annihilation, no one can save them.

Who would have thought that from top to bottom, it would be full of people who wanted them to die.

The Son of Heaven will kill them, the Admiral will kill them, and even the soldiers below will be killed.

How so

Didn't you look forward to us

The trees are falling and scattered, and the walls are falling and everyone is pushing!

These people cried and screamed again, and no one could eat the severed head meal, they didn't believe that the court was so ruthless, tangled, painful, angry, and pleading with them...... Just as they were almost breaking down, someone came, and they escorted the fellows to the fields.

In front of all the military households, they were executed.

The dead heads were cut off.

It is only at this moment that many people really believe that the imperial court is playing for real.

And after the execution of these people, the acres of land that were originally plundered by them fell into Wang Yue's hands.

For these lands, Wang Yue's attitude couldn't be more clear.

The land on the frontier is, of course, given priority to the soldiers who defend the border for the country.

Because of this, a fun phenomenon has emerged...... In the past, people tried their best to get rid of military service, and they would rather flee to the interior and work as slaves for others than become military households.

The reason is simple, military households are slaves, and their lives are in danger.

escaped, although he was also a slave, but at least he could save his life.

But with the re-granting of land, the situation is different. All military families, one person in the army, the whole family benefits.

According to the calculation of the family, each person will be granted 20 acres of land.

There is also an additional allowance for the orphans of fallen soldiers.

For a while, the situation in the entire Ji Town changed. The military households, which everyone hated in the past, have turned into fragrant gluttonies. Military families are not only granted land, but also enjoy new land endowments, the grain they produce is levied at market prices, and they also enjoy the right to be exempted from exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

From the bottom of society, it climbed up all at once.

The heavy burden was lifted in an instant, and people saw hope.

Even the old man Zhu Xiong seemed to be ten years younger, full of energy. In the entire army, the spirit was vigorous, and almost all the officers and men were trained with their lives, and the morale was high.

After ten days of training, I finally had a rest.

A red invitation was delivered to Zhu Xiong.

"My lord, I'm going to get married, my lord...... Can you enjoy the light?"

Facing the invitation, Zhu Xiong couldn't help laughing, "I said Ma Yong, your kid has also married a daughter-in-law."

Ma Yong was embarrassed, his face was like a big red cloth.

"My lord, in the past, I couldn't marry a daughter-in-law, but now it's different, and many people are vying to be my daughter-in-law! My mother has said it, it's not a yellow flower girl, don't! ”

Zhu Xiong nodded again and again, "Your mother is right, a good man who fights for the country, why should he take someone else's want!" It's time to marry a yellow flower girl! Zhu Xiong pinched the invitation and suddenly said, "I said Ma Yong boy, why don't you send an invitation to Lord Admiral."

Ma Yong is stupid, how dare he think about it!

"My lord, I can't hide it, I'm afraid to send an invitation to your old man, let alone to the Admiral, I'm afraid of ......"

"What are you afraid of!" Zhu Xiong said with a smile: "Although I have been following the Admiral for a short time, I can also see that he has no arrogance, not to mention that this is a good thing, how can he not be willing!" ”

……

Not to mention, Wang Yue really appeared. He also gave the newlyweds a silver ingot and a basket of pomegranates, wishing them many sons and blessings.

This really made countless people sigh.

What was Ma Yong in the past?

He's a poor boy, a stinky military household. The eldest brother is disabled, the second brother is invisible, except for his father, the whole family is one of them, and he has to serve in the army, and he will die at some point.

And even if he dies, the bad luck of this family will not end, and the quota of the military household will fall to his eldest nephew, and then the second son.

Until all the men in this family are dead...... That's what's so bad about the military household system.

However, with the order to grant land to the army, the situation is completely different, and the imperial court does not need to worry about the supply of soldiers at all, because there are too many people who want to join the army for the sake of the fields.

There is no need to persecute the family at all, and continue to contribute to the supply of soldiers until all the men die......

"Lord Admiral, if you want to worry about the end general, I'm afraid that there will not be enough acres of land around the Santun camp now!" On the way back, Zhu Xiong said to Wang Yue: "My lord, I have heard that those who used to try every means to evade military service have now returned, and there are hundreds of people outside the barracks, clamoring to serve the country again." ”

Wang Yue snorted coldly, "If it is advantageous, it will come, and if it is not profitable, it will go, such a group of things cannot be counted on." ”

Zhu Xiong smiled, "As long as there is a sharp weapon of granting land, there is no worry about the source of soldiers at all, and the general will let people drive them all away...... It's just that the problem of the field is indeed not a trivial matter...... You can't just don't have enough acres, so let's kill people again."

Wang Yue was dumbfounded, in fact, his disposal of the generals of Jizhen had already caused a stir in the court...... Many people wrote to impeach, and they attacked Wang Yue, saying that he killed the generals of the court, but used his personal favor to entrap the soldiers.

Wouldn't this make the nine-sided generals chill, once all the generals and the imperial court deviated from morality, and the border defense was gone, I really don't know what the imperial court relied on to guard the Beijing division at that time......

Obviously, this level of attack can't do anything to Wang Yue, after all, the military department, the cabinet, and even the celebrant and the brocade guard are all on Wang Yue's side.

Not to mention Zhu Houxi, but it is precisely like this, the burden on Wang Yue's shoulders is very heavy.

"Old general, how about reporting to Your Majesty?"

"Success"

Zhu Xiong couldn't cry or laugh, "Lord Wang, we didn't fight either!" It's not for the sake of granting land, but this can only be repaid, not successful! ”

Wang Yue chuckled, "Old general, I remember that a few days ago, you sent someone out to inspect and arrived at Dushan Fort, right?"

Zhu Xiong nodded, "Yes, this Dushan Fort is five miles north of Xifengkou, which was originally the territory of Daning Dusi, and was later abandoned, and the buildings on it have collapsed over the years, leaving only a base remaining." ”

Wang Yue smiled, "That's enough, although Dushan Fort is small, it represents a great attempt for us to cross the Great Wall, take the initiative to attack, and restore the Great Ning Dusi...... This is a small step for us, but it is a big step for Daming! ”

Wang Yue's voice suddenly became high-pitched, "You immediately arrange a hundred people, and send the people over to repair Dushan Fort." And with Dushan Fort as the forward base, go north deep into the desert. ”

Zhu Xiong didn't know Wang Yue's intentions, but when Lord Admiral gave an order, he didn't dare to disobey.

Besides, it is true that the restoration of Dushan Fort is good for the defense of Xifengkou, so Zhu Xiong will not say anything, as for the good news, he will treat it as a joke.

Zhu Xiong didn't care, but Wang Yue took it seriously.

After returning to Santun Camp, he immediately picked up a large pen and wrote an emotional official document to Zhu Houxi, which was then sealed with fire paint and sent to the capital.

Jizhen is only a few hundred miles away from the capital, and it can be delivered in one day, which is similar to the express delivery in the province.

After receiving the "package" sent by Wang Yue, Zhu Houxi immediately unfolded, he was full of interest, looking at Wang Yue's description, what to expand the territory, what to take the initiative to attack, what to create Yongle, what unprecedented feat!

These are exciting words, as if they don't want money.

Zhu Houxi also became happier the more he watched...... Xiao Fugui really lived up to my hopes, and as soon as he arrived in Jizhen, he brought me a surprise.

Such a loyal and capable courtier really deserves to be rewarded!

Zhu Houxi eagerly turned to the end, wanting to see the final result.

His gaze was locked by the words "Tuotu Wuli", and he couldn't take it off anymore, his originally flushed face gradually turned pale, his breathing was short, and his fists were clenched......
