Chapter 141: Datong Mansion
Wang Zezhi's team walked for three days and three nights, and finally arrived at Datong Mansion on the third day.
After he arrived, he called for the city gate to be opened by holy decree, and was taken by the city guard to the Datong Prefecture General Town Office.
This belongs to the north of Datong Prefecture, and this area is in a mess at the moment.
Although Geng Ruqi ordered people to repair it when he was guarding Datong Mansion, it was still not much better after they arrived.
Wang Zezhi checked the situation around him.
The north of Datong Mansion is a ruined wall, and the Dragon King Temple, the City God Temple, and the North Cang are all burned down.
The north gate, the north city wall, Weng City, the watchtower, and the military control platform have all been repaired, and these places do not need to be repaired by Wang Zezhi.
The place where they were stationed had to be rebuilt.
Wang Zezhi immediately ordered the people of the logistics department to start bulldozing the remnants of the building from the north of Kuixing Tower.
He planned to rebuild the north of the city, and build a wooden camp centered on the Zhenwu Temple outside the city, and his garrison would stay in the camp in the future.
His residence and office hall were built in the former town office.
After arranging these things, he found Xiao Liuzi and asked about the affairs of Outer Mongolia.
Now, outside the Saiwai, the remnants of Ordos, Yongshao Bu, and Bu Lost Rabbit, as well as 36 small tribes on the right wing, have gathered 100,000 troops, and will fight Tiger Squatting Rabbit (Lin Dan Khan) and Ebuha in September.
It's early September, and there's no update yet.
Later, he ordered Xiao Liuzi, Yu Zhong, and Bai Zhangtang to come over for a meeting.
"In the territory of Datong Mansion, there are many forts and fire roads, many tuntian systems, two garrisons, eight tuntians, the Ming Dynasty since the founding of Hong Taizu, military households are living from this.
The combination of guarding and tun is to educate soldiers in agriculture.
Now these tuntians are in the hands of local tyrants, and the tuntian system exists in name only.
I decided to inspect the acres of land and determine the number of military households.
Collect the taxes owed by these powerful people over the years to supplement their salaries.
I need you to go to Haoqiang's Mansion and steal out the fish scale atlas of the entire Datong Mansion, as well as the land deeds of the acres.
The most important thing is the tax account book of Datong Mansion over the years, and you must steal it out for me.
Now I ask you to gather all the sentinels from all over Datong Province back.
You should train some people who are good at flying eaves and walls, sliding doors and picking locks in the fastest time, and the instructor who trains them is Bai Zhangtang, and you can do it now. ”
"Yes."
"Order."
"Yes."
Bai Zhangtang rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes flashed with excitement, and went down to teach people the art of stealing.
The new official took office with three fires, and he also had to burn this fire.
If you want to burn, there will be a monstrous fire.
After daybreak, the vanguard of the cavalry arrived.
The Chinese army arrived one after another, and the north of Datong Mansion could not accept so many people.
So, Wang Zezhi ordered the team to go out of the north city and set up camp with Zhenwu Temple as the center.
As for the artillery he brought, all of them were placed on the battlements in the north of the city.
Subsequently, the order was given to bury the pot and cook rice, and the sergeants were a little tired all the way.
It was not until late in the evening that the rear army also arrived.
Wang Zezhi ordered the sergeants to eat and rest first, and then make arrangements tomorrow.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, dawn.
Wang Zezhi took over the city defense of Datong Mansion for the first time, and the original garrison of Datong Mansion was Geng Ruqi and Zhang Honggong's subordinates, and they handed over the formalities and went back to the Xuanfu station.
After taking over the city defense, Wang Zezhi ordered the generals of each battalion to train the soldiers.
"Stand upright, take a break, turn left, turn right, run and walk, one-two-one... One, two, three, four..."Scales
In the north of Datong City, the sound of the sergeants' drills shook the four fields.
Wang Zezhi stood on the north wall of the city, looking at the majestic team, and was full of ambition for a while.
"My lord, ask to see the official family of the royal palace."
"Oh? Let him come up. ”
Acting king, Zhu Dingwei, Zhu Naijun's son, Wanli forty-five years in May was named the son, in February of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, he was named the king.
His mansion is in Datong City.
"The general has a tiring journey, and the prince of my family set up a banquet in the mansion to catch the wind and wash the dust for the general, and also invite the adults to move."
The housekeeper came to the city tower, looked at the majestic sergeant, and felt a lot more relieved, when the Tartars went south, they were all frightened, and now there is such a strong army in Datong Mansion, and their safety is guaranteed.
"The general thinks that this is not appropriate." Wang Zezhi didn't have a good impression of these vassal kings, and he refused directly without looking back.
"May it be auspicious." Wang Zezhi refused the housekeeper's invitation, and the housekeeper was not angry.
The vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty were divided, but there was no fief, there were princes but they could not manage the local politics and people's livelihood, enjoyed treatment without taking care of affairs, and could not participate in the industry of Shinong industry and commerce.
After Ming Chengzu Zhu Di usurped the throne through rebellion as a vassal king, his vigilance against the vassal king was strengthened again.
However, he could not cut the feudal domain overbearingly, so he reduced the feudal domain by increasing his economic privileges in exchange for the feudal king's military privileges, and at the same time restricted the personal freedom of the feudal king.
In this way, the vassal king had the income from the land and did not have to bear the task of paying taxes, and the state had to empty the treasury to give it to Yulu, while the common people had less and less land, but had to bear all the taxes, forming a vicious circle.
Therefore, it can be said that the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty accelerated the process of land annexation to a certain extent, that is, deepened the fall of the Ming Dynasty.
"As the vassal king of my Ming Dynasty, the acting king is banqueting the last general, which is to damage his identity and damage the royal majesty."
"What the general said is extremely true, but my prince is abrupt, but my prince is also kind, and he asks the general to move." The butler continued without changing his face.
"Hehe... The king befriended the generals, is this to learn from the Ming Dynasty to become an ancestor? Wang Zezhi still ignored the housekeeper and said lightly.
The butler's face changed greatly, bowed, and retreated.
Acting royal mansion.
The official retold what Wang Zezhi said to the acting king.
"Interesting, this person can't be provoked, step down." The king waved his hand, and the butler stepped back.
......
After Wang Zezhi came to Datong Mansion, there was no big move, but small moves continued.
He first ordered people to continuously transfer money, food, and materials from guerrilla camps and earthen caves to Datong City.
He also sent a thousand elites from the sergeants to Datong City as the center to suppress bandits everywhere.
This is a terrible crackdown.
In addition to the bandits, many deserters from various forts were also arrested.
In addition, a lot of Tatars were also captured, some of whom were left by Lin Dan Khan to spy on intelligence.
Some of them were scattered during the Great Peace, and some of them fled from outside the country.
Most of these people who fled were members of the Mongolian right-wing tribes.
After catching these people, Wang Zezhi called Tuomu and Li Hua to try to train them.
Li Hua was responsible for brainwashing and dragging wood for translation.
Originally, Wang Zezhi thought that these people could not be trained, but who knew that a pot of hot mutton would buy these people.
From these people, Tuomu learned that life on the grassland was not easy.
On the one hand, Lin Dan Khan used troops everywhere to conquer the right-wing tribes, and on the other hand, the Houjin Emperor Taiji and Enwei used both, both sending troops to attack and promising benefits, and trying to win over the left wing Chahar, and on the other hand, the tribes conquered by Lin Dan Khan planned to avenge the clansmen and constantly resisted Lin Dan Khan.
All of a sudden, the grassland was turbulent, and the tribesmen of various tribes were living in dire straits.
They didn't expect to come to Wang Zezhi's place, but they could eat a full meal.
When Tuomu asked them if they were willing to follow, these people swore by immortality that they were willing to follow Wang Zezhi and fight for Wang Zezhi.
Wang Zezhi was overjoyed, and ordered Li Hua and Tuomu to intensify the training of these people.
These people are natural warriors on the grassland, good at riding and shooting, and everyone has horses, Wang Zezhi has always had an idea, and when the time comes, it will be up to these people to help him realize it.
