The rewards for military merits have been issued, from Li Dingguo, Guo Zhiqi and Chen Kai to the generals in public, and the generals have also brought these meritorious rewards back to the soldiers under their command.

received the bounty from their respective commanders, and some of them carried them in their arms, stroking their silhouettes through their armor, and their faces were full of joy; Some simply play with it in their hands and rub it carefully. Groups of three or two left the place, and some returned directly to the camp tent and carefully collected the money; Some call friends and find a wine shop to drink; Others simply ran to the women's battalion organized with the daughters of the feudal soldiers, stuffed the silver into the hands of the officers in charge, and rushed in impatiently to choose a pleasing one to the eye, and practice the man's sword well.

Meritorious rewards must be issued after the Great War. However, in this battle, the Ming army took advantage of the situation to recover most of Guangdong, including the city of Guangzhou. If it is in the Chengping year, the land seized by the rebels or other places is recovered, and the next thing is naturally to take charge of the army first, and at the same time the central officials are appointed to control one side, but in this situation, Mo said that the Yongli Imperial Court is still controlled by Sun Kewang.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, as the representatives of the three parties involved in the war, namely the Ming Army in the southwest, the Ming army in western Guangdong, and the Ming army in eastern Guangdong, Li Dingguo, the king of Xining, Guo Zhiqi, a scholar of the Inspectorate University, and Chen Kai, the governor of the four prefectures of Chaohui in Zhangquan, naturally wanted to take the lead in setting a basic program for the distribution of things. According to this program, all seizures are then distributed in detail.

The captures, or rather the proceeds of this battle, were generally divided into two parts. First, it is the private property of the two feudal domains of Pingnan and Jingnan, which is not only the property of the two Han princes of the Qing court, but also the generals of those feudal generals, with movable property, immovable property, and other things; On the other hand, it is the various prefectures and counties that have been recovered, the right to appoint civil officials, and the division of the jurisdiction of the garrison, all of which need to be discussed, or bargained.

"The tribute from the Son of Heaven, the official thinks that it is better to focus on gold, silver, jewelry and jade."

"The Inspector is right."

"It should be so, after all, the dignity of the heavenly family is still needed."

Thinking about the victory in Guilin that year, Li Dingguo's victory, sacrifice of prisoners, and seizures were all directly sent to the Qin Wangfu in Guiyang, and for Anlong's court, he just sent a document to report the victory, but he was also hated by Sun Kewang, so there was the filth of the victory in Hengyang and the repeated plots after the war.

Now, Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang have basically torn their faces, although the two sides have not declared war with great fanfare, but the southwest Ming army with the Yunnan Great Western Army as the main body has essentially been divided. Sun Kewang confronted the Qing army on the Hunan front, Li Dingguo's side conquered Guangdong twice and attacked Guiyang, and the grain and grass were already taken care of, and Sun Kewang also sent Feng Shuangli to seize the army. At this time, in terms of reporting, it is natural to be transferred.

The Wang Qi, Shuai Qi, and Golden Seal of the Pingnan and Jingnan Domains, as well as the heads of Shang Kexi, Geng Jimao, Zhu Mala, and others, were all to be sent to Anlong. In addition, if gold, silver, jade, jewelry, calligraphy and painting are seized, it is natural to send a copy to the Son of Heaven. As for the Qin Palace, send a good news to the past, which is indispensable to deter the forces of the Qin Palace, and it is always no better than back then.

The two camps in the center of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the three factions on the ground in Guangdong are all royalists, and they are consistent in principle of ensuring the existence of the banner of the Son of Eternal Calendar. As soon as Guo Zhiqi just spoke, Li Dingguo and Chen Kai immediately expressed a positive attitude, and the next thing was nothing more than to find some valuable ones from the seizure and send them over, and hand them over to the people below to do.

"The matter of demarcating the defense area, the lower officials thought that they could talk about it later, including the distribution of those valuable property, and there was no need to rush for a while. When Wang Shi recovered Guangdong, it was imperative to restore order, correct the evil law of the Tartars, and return the people of Guangdong to a bright and prosperous situation. ”

"Chen Fujun's words are very kind."

"Well, that's true."

Although it is a share of spoils, it must first occupy the moral high ground. The evil laws of the Qing court will naturally be abolished when they reach the Ming army, and the shaving of hair can also be calculated according to the old system of Emperor Longwu, and there is no need to force the people to cut their braids, but it is still appropriate to restore the administrative system to the one used by the Ming court.

"Pingnan and Jingnan are two rebellious, and they are tyrannical on the ground in Guangdong. They control rivers and lakes, squeeze fishermen and cargo ships and passenger ships, and the people are full of complaints. The lower officials thought that it was better to restore the official offices of the fishing and salt classes, which should be managed by the government and collect taxes normally. ”

In order to better plunder the wealth of the people in Guangdong, the two feudal domains of Pingnan and Jingnan set up various regulations in Guangdong. Chen Kai first mentioned the two feudatories' control of the shipping and fishery production of rivers and lakes, Li Dingguo nodded, agreeing with this, Guo Zhiqi thought about it a little, but also expressed his approval of Chen Kai's proposal.

"The fishing class and the salt class should still be attributed to the government is the right way, Chen Fujun is reasonable. This official thinks that there must be a problem with the local litigation prison in Guangdong, so the past files must also be re-examined. those who are guilty shall be imprisoned and punished; He who is innocent should be released. ”

In order to seize the people's wealth, the two feudatories did a lot of things to accuse them of stealing. Guo Zhiqi mentioned this matter, Li Dingguo still expressed his attitude of agreement, and Chen Kai, after thinking about the characters in the entrainment, also agreed with this.

In this way, whether it is the court or the taxes imposed by the second counterparty, they must also be exempted. Guangdong has been in war for many years, and it is necessary to rest with the people. ”

The first two items were passed in an extremely smooth process, and even with a little thought, no one raised any objections, and they all expressed affirmation in person. But as soon as Chen Kai said this, Li Dingguo and Guo Zhiqi both looked a little hesitant, the former didn't say anything, but the latter raised a question.

"In Chen Fujun's opinion, what kind of amount should taxes be levied?"

Guo Zhiqi asked about this matter, but Chen Kai frowned, and then laughed softly: "There is no exact number of subordinates in this matter. Moreover, the situation in various localities is different, and it is necessary to conduct more investigation before it can be settled, and if it is done overnight, it is easy to affect the normal production and life of the people. ”

Words, said is equivalent to not said. Chen Kai refused to answer, Guo Zhiqi thought about it and did not continue to force him to make a statement, turned his head to look at Li Dingguo, who thought about it and said that he should look at the specific situation in various places.

Today's Guangdong, that is, Chaozhou, has been operating for many years, and has not suffered too many wars, and the local handicrafts, agricultural production and commercial operations have developed benignly. The other prefectures and counties were first subjected to expropriation and expropriation, and then encountered wars, even if they were much worse than Qiongzhou, which had only been restored for one year.

It is a well-established truth that only with money and food can we feed soldiers. If Chen Kai speaks and says too much, it will not be conducive to the resumption of production by the people, and the resentment of the people being overtaxed will also be blamed on him; But if there is too little talk and insufficient troops, the generals and commanders of the various ministries will be dissatisfied. And it is impossible for him to use the finances of Chaozhou and Qiongzhou to subsidize other Ming troops because of this, otherwise what will be the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and the people of these two prefectures.

Chen Kai didn't know if Guo Zhiqi was deliberate, but the question was raised by him, and it stands to reason that he should explain it clearly. At this moment, no one wants to mention it, so this matter can only be put on hold for the time being.

There was a lot to discuss, and after a few cups of tea, I finally restored a few mistakes that needed to be corrected to the "original state" that would satisfy all parties. Meetings have always been like this, and they are already quite efficient. Things are being completed one by one, and Li Dingguo's staff is on the side. Soon, they studied the main store and the wangzhuang that were most likely to cause disagreements.

These two things involve great interests, so Chen Kai and Guo Zhiqi tacitly put them last. On Li Dingguo's side, he mainly listened to the opinions of the two of them in administrative matters, and only nodded or pondered for most of the day, and did not express any objections to the agreement between the two.

"The second reverse organization of the head office, manipulation of the province's trade, this matter is actually the simplest, as long as the head office is abolished, or according to the original commercial tax to collect and manage, you can also be safe."

As soon as he spoke, Chen Kai did not look at Guo Zhiqi, who had more discussions with him, but turned his head to look at Li Dingguo, who was the head of the head. Even not only Chen Kai, even Guo Zhiqi turned his head after listening to Chen Kai's words and focused his eyes on Li Dingguo.

In this regard, Li Dingguo was a little surprised, but it didn't last long, so he simply smiled and said: "The two of you are afraid that this king will take over the head office of the two rebels?" ”

"Don't dare."

"His Royal Highness has tens of thousands of iron armor under his command, and it may be enough to distribute food and salary, but if you continue to forge ahead, it is always good to have an extra income. In this matter, the lower officials thought that it was time to restore the commercial order of the province, and with commercial stimulus, the production of handicrafts and agriculture would also recover faster. As for Inspector Guo, he thinks it is similar to that of a lower official. ”

Here, in the face of Li Dingguo's outspokenness, Guo Zhiqi was still a little evasive, but Chen Kai still responded with the same outspokenness. Li Dingguo, however, did not show any displeasure about this, but smiled and said to the two of them unmistakably: "In this regard, the two of you don't need to worry. This king marched into Guangdong, one is for the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, and the other is for the people of Guangdong, there are selfish motives, and they don't want to meet with the Qin Domain, so that the Tartars take advantage. In this case, the evil law of the two reverses should be abolished or abolished, and this king has no intention of being the second Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao! ”

Such a relatively pure soldier is what it should be in the eyes of civilian officials. Hearing this, Chen Kai and Guo Zhiqi even clapped their hands and praised Li Dingguo's loyalty and love for the people. This matter, which was originally thought to be resisted by Li Dingguo, was easily resolved.

After discussing the affairs of the head office, the rest is Wang Zhuang. Compared with the main store of the royal palace that manipulated trade, Wangzhuang, as the name suggests, is the fertile land of the people forcibly expropriated by the two feudatories, like the Eight Banners Army in the north.

Compared with commerce, land has always been the lifeblood of the vast majority of Chinese. The status of an agricultural country is determined as follows, especially in such an era when industrialization has just been in its infancy, and the so-called export of industrial products, the import of agricultural products, and the exploitation of agricultural countries by using the scissors gap are still just an unrealistic dream on the whole. Even in this era, except for Chen Kai, no one will have such a dream.

There is no doubt about the importance of the field, Chen Kai swallowed a sip of tea, his eyes overflowed from the edge of the teacup, and carefully observed the expressions of Li Dingguo and Guo Zhiqi. After a glance, he had a general idea in his heart, so he gently put down the teacup and sat upright, waiting for the proposal that the two might exist.

Sure enough, when Wang Zhuang was mentioned, Guo Zhiqi had obviously thought about it for a long time, and without hesitation, he said to the two: "Wang Zhuang is equivalent to the horse race of the Tartars in the Northland, and it must be abolished." As for the land, the official thought that it would be handed over to the prefectures and counties for the cultivation of the fields. ”

Guo Zhiqi took the lead in expressing his position, and Li Dingguo, who was sitting at the top, originally didn't want to say that it was Jin Weixin's proposal, which was still more beneficial to their army. However, when Guo Zhiqi said this, Li Dingguo hesitated, but did not speak, but looked at Chen Kai, wanting to hear Chen Kai's opinion.

Eyes converged, Chen Kai looked at Li Dingguo, turned his head, and his eyes met with Guo Zhiqi, but he did not agree with this, at least not all of them.

"Abolish, the lower officials raised their hands in approval. However, if the Wang Zhuang is handed over to the government, won't this Wang Zhuang become an official village again? When the time comes, some officials with unclean hands and feet are greedy for ink and embezzlement, which is always inevitable, but it is not conducive to the word "gathering". ”

"So, what does Chen Fujun think he should do?"

"Back to Inspector Guo's words, the lower officials thought that it was better to be sent back to the master. Wang Shi's restoration of Guangdong is the crime of hanging the people, and the officials have only mentioned that they want to return the people of Guangdong a bright future, if they don't even return the land to them, how should their livelihood be solved? ”

Chen Kai's attitude was very resolute, and Guo Zhiqi didn't intend to back down on this, even if he mentioned the return of the land, how to repay the money and grain of the gentry and merchants who were extorted from the second rebellion.

In this regard, Chen Kai did not hesitate, and replied directly: "Inspector Guo, this is not the same thing. Wangzhuang's fields can't be moved, but the money and grain will be spent, and they will be sent to the capital by the second reverse to bribe the Tartar magnates. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. So what should we do if there is no owner of the land, or if the original owner of the land is extinct? ”

"Priority will be given to return, and if there is no owner or the original owner is out of business, then the government will organize the people to settle the fields."

"Chen Fujun, you have sat in the prefects of Chaozhou and Zhangzhou, you should know that there are bones and skins in the fields, and many people often do not go to the yamen when they trade land, and they only do things in vain. How can these be solved? ”

“……”

The two civil servants suddenly quarreled over these trivial issues. As soon as you say a word, I say a word, and Li Dingguo is full of confusion.

One side is to ask the government to organize the tuntian, the other side is a limited return to the owner, the other tuntian, there are indeed some big or small problems, both sides seem to be very reasonable, but there is a dispute. A moment later, Li Dingguo was already planning to go down in person to persuade him, but he saw that the staff member in charge of recording made a color at him, and then his eyes drifted to Chen Kai, and then to the east of the big tent. Immediately, he was enlightened.

Chen Kai still has more than 100,000 Guangzhou people in his hands, to put it bluntly, Chen Kai is fighting with Guo Zhiqi for these his diehards. With such a thought, he turned his head and looked at Guo Zhiqi again, this person was the leader of the civil official group in western Guangdong, the highest-ranking civil official of the imperial court in the Liangguang region, and his method was obviously to accumulate greater strength for the imperial court.

Once he figured these things out, Li Dingguo's mind suddenly brightened. At this point, the original desire to put forward his ideas has completely disappeared, but he just listened to the argument between the two of them until he couldn't listen anymore, so he persuaded the two to re-dissolve them on the grounds that it was not too early, eat first, and talk about it tomorrow after dinner.

It was not dusk yet, but Li Dingguo said that it was not early, so it was really not early. For dinner, the two naturally wanted to return to their respective camps. Bidding farewell to Li Dingguo, Guo Zhiqi and Chen Kai left the Chinese army's tent one after another. It's just that he didn't go far, but Guo Zhiqi suddenly stopped, turned his head and came face to face with Chen Kai.

"Chen Fujun, can you take a step to speak?"

"Please."

waved away their left and right, the two stood there face to face, Chen Kai didn't have time to speak, Guo Zhiqi took the lead in saying: "This time to recover Guangzhou, Chen Fujun has made great contributions. In this regard, whether it is the old man or Lian Rubai, they are far inferior. ”

"Inspector Guo has an overreputation."

Chen Kai replied with a salute, Guo Zhiqi nodded, and then said the purpose of stopping him: "The old man thinks that with Chen Fujun's talents, he is already a governor. However, in this battle, such as Bai contacting the generals and handling the rear affairs, he also did a very good job, and it was really not suitable to change generals. Therefore, the old man plans to recommend Chen Fujun to the imperial court to hang the title of secretary of the military department, and the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang military affairs, I don't know what Chen Fujun thinks? ”
