It has been a few months since he arrived in Sichuan, and Wen Anzhi has gradually adapted to life here.

In addition to stabilizing Chongqing's defense, Wen'an's faction Yuan Zongdi and Liu Fangliang took the Kuizhou Mansion.

In Wen Anzhi's view, this move is of great significance, not only to connect Chongqing and Kuizhou to have greater strategic depth, but also to make the entire upper reaches of the Yangtze River relatively safe.

Fengjie was also listed by him as an important city second only to Ba County, and was heavily guarded.

His Majesty entrusted the affairs of Sichuan to him, and he naturally wanted to do his best to do a good job, and every step he took was like walking on thin ice on the abyss.

In Wen Anzhi's view, Zhang Xianzhong is not bound to win for eastern Sichuan. This gave him time to defend solidly.

On the one hand, Wen Anzhi ordered his soldiers to actively train, and on the other hand, he asked the people to reclaim wasteland and actively resume production.

Sichuan has indeed been too chaotic in recent years. After Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, he fought with the Ming army several times, and the people were either captured by the Western army to be masters, or were captured by the official army to be auxiliaries, so that the young and strong suffered serious losses.

The first reaction of the people of Chuandong's generation when they saw the army was to flee. He ran into the mountains and hid, and waited until the army had crossed the border before he came out to live again.

Wen Anzhi led the army to experience such an embarrassing situation when it first arrived in Chongqing Prefecture.

It took him a long time to convince the local people that the officials and soldiers were not trying to forcibly arrest them.

With trust, many things are much easier.

Wen Anzhi had two options, one was to implement the military tun in eastern Sichuan, that is, the military household system implemented by Emperor Taizu when the Ming Dynasty was founded.

This system is conducive to centralized distribution in wartime, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the military households do not have much enthusiasm.

Anyway, it's the same to do more or less, so it's better to be lazy and rest.

The other way is Mintun.

There are also two kinds of people, one is to distribute the land to the people to plant, but the ownership of the land is still the government, and the people have to pay a considerable part of the grain to the government every year.

Another is to encourage the people to reclaim wasteland, and all the wasteland reclaimed naturally belongs to the people.

Wen An's choice is to combine the two.

Among them, the proportion of reclaimed wasteland is relatively large, which is conducive to mobilizing the enthusiasm of peasant households.

Even for the high-quality acres of land allocated to farmers for rent, Wen Anzhi also tried his best to reduce rent and interest, so that the people could have more rations.

Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, this is specially instructed by His Majesty, and Wen An always keeps it in his heart.

Of course, in addition to Tuntian, Wen Anzhi is also responsible for handling the relationship between the old Ming army and the Shun army that has just returned to Shun.

Some contradictions are difficult to resolve easily.

In particular, the prejudice between the official army and the Shun army is difficult to eliminate in a year and a half.

Wen Anzhi's method was to assign them to different defense areas and try not to let them see each other.

For example, Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi were sent to Kuizhou Mansion to garrison.

Of course, the best way is to gain trust between the two sides by fighting side by side, which can only wait for Zhang Xianzhong to take the initiative to attack.

At present, the Ming army in eastern Sichuan should still focus on holding on, and wait until it has sufficient grain reserves, and then cooperate with Tusi in southern Sichuan and Mu Guogong in Yunnan to flank Zhang Xianzhong.

Wen Anzhi attached great importance to the formation of water divisions, and he set up a water division in Tongluo Gorge in Chongqing and Fengjie in Kuizhou. The size of the sailor division was not large, but it was useful, and it was more flexible than the sailor division of the original Ming army.

In addition to these, Wen Anzhi brought the biggest change to the Ming Army in Eastern Sichuan, and I am afraid that it is spiritual.

Before Wen'an came, the mentality of most of the soldiers in the Ming army was to get by, and it was a day to be able to mix for a day.

Anyway, if you pin your head to the waistband of your trousers, you may not see the rising sun one day, so you might as well have fun in time.

After Wen Anzhi came to Sichuan, he instilled a set of ideas in the new army, especially the Shence army, in these soldiers of the old army.

Strictly speaking, this set of ideas was put forward by the Son of Heaven himself, and Wen Anzhi could understand it because he was a close minister of the Son of Heaven.

Naturally, this set of ideas is a new reward and punishment mechanism.

Wen Anzhi changed the situation in the old army where the generals beat and scolded the soldiers at every turn and oppressed the soldiers to drink the blood of the soldiers.

Ordinary soldiers gradually realized that under Wen Anzhi's rule, they were no longer slaves of officers, but living people.

They are also rewarded for their excellent training and performance, and there is no ambiguity in the way of the officers' awards.

They felt that their lives were getting ahead, so they gradually got rid of the lazy style of the past, and the atmosphere of the whole army was invigorated.

What made them even more pleased was that the Governor had introduced a literary team into the army.

It is said that this art troupe was established by His Majesty today, and it was first performed only in the Shence Army, and later some other armies also vied to follow suit.

But Chuandong Mingjun never imagined that he could wait for this day.

The members of the art team were all recruited from the local area of eastern Sichuan, and after the training of the art soldiers brought by the governor from Shandong, they gradually began to rehearse some less difficult plays.

Of course, the plays they rehearsed were generally against the Eastern captives. However, in order to meet the needs of the situation in Sichuan, the governor also ordered people to start rehearsing some of Zhang Xianzhong's violent and murderous scenes.

The soldiers watched with relish, and at the same time, the hatred for the thieves also unconsciously increased.

Previously, they had only heard that Zhang Xianzhong was murderous, but now after watching a few plays with their own eyes, the feeling is completely different.

After dinner, the soldiers would also get together in twos and threes to chat, and life became more enjoyable.

"I heard that Zhang Xianzhong is a eunuch, so although there are a group of wives and concubines, he has never had children. I guess God saw that he had done too many evil things, so he specially punished him. ”

"Who says it's not, people say that offering thieves can prevent children from crying at night."

"After this thief took Chengdu, he slaughtered the Shu Palace. The King of Shu was slaughtered, miserable! ”

"However, I have heard that some of the righteous sons of the thieves are quite talented. In the future, it would be good if the imperial court could recruit him. ”

"It's difficult, the court will not recruit them if the thieves don't die. Don't forget that the ancestral grave of the Great Tomorrow is for thieves. ”

"So what, didn't the thieves still force the Emperor to death, didn't the Holy Lord still recruit them today?"

"Shhh If you hear it, you don't know how to chew your tongue. Don't forget, there are a lot of thieves in Chongqing Mansion that you call it! Beware of the misfortune that comes out of the mouth! ”

The atmosphere suddenly became silent.

After a long time, one of them got up and patted his buttocks: "Let's watch our play, and go to bed early after watching it." I'll have to practice early tomorrow morning. ”

"Yes, yes, go back and rest earlier. Now that the governor has ordered a drill every three days, I can't hold it up if I don't have enough rest! ”
