Chapter 256 I vomited out what I ate, and I gave me back what I took and gave me back
"You want to catch them all?"
Cao Wenzhao asked suspiciously.
Following Yang Xin's way, he has already adapted to his brother's routine.
This guy's favorite thing to do is to light a fire and start it first.
In other words, arresting a person, whether the person is innocent or not, will be arrested first, and then the biggest crime will be charged, and the posture of expanding and engaging in a big prison will be put on a posture to force the local families to jump out.
Because he is a Jinyiwei, and he is a Jinyiwei who is really trusted by the emperor, he cannot be dealt with by normal means, impeachment or prosecution, even if the local officials come forward.
The magistrate can't control the brocade guard.
Even the Metropolitan Procuratorate can only impeach him at best.
But there is no point in impeaching him, and the nine thousand years old are directly detained.
The most to mobilize the army is to bluff, but as long as he plays hard, he has to give in, because daring to use military force to block Jinyiwei is a blatant rebellion.
No magistrate or army general would dare.
In the end, the desperate local family either coaxed him with money, or adopted extraordinary measures to incite popular rebellion, disguise bandits, assassinate, in short, this kind of illegal means. But as soon as this method is used, the original innocence will be guilty, and the blackmail that was originally just a confession will become a case with conclusive evidence, and in the end, those big families should also raid their homes.
Obviously, he is digging a pit for these big families in Quang Ninh again.
"Why is the military household system erosive?"
Yang Xin looked at Wang Huazhen's back and asked.
"Military households can't support themselves."
Cao Wenzhao said.
He is also a military household, and he is the lowest military family, otherwise he would not have to come out as a recruiter to make a living.
"Why can't military households support themselves? According to the system of the imperial court, taking Liaodong as an example, each Zhengjun was granted 50 mu of land, and 6 stones of grain were accepted, even if the yield per mu was lower, 50 stone of grain was harvested from a tuntian every year, and more than 40 stone could be left after handing over 6 stones. What's more, Yu Ding also has land, according to the early system of the country, Yu Ding reclamation will never be able to afford the department, even if it starts later, it is only a bucket per mu, this standard is indeed higher than that of private land, but compared to those tenants who need to pay a maximum of seventy percent of the rent, one bucket is not much, right? ”
Yang Xin said.
In the Ming Dynasty, the standards for granting land to military households were different from place to place, but the Liaodong military household was 50 acres of a regular army.
That is to say, a military family will have 50 acres of land and pay 6 stone of grain, and the remaining adult men of this military family are called Yu Ding, and Yu Ding reclaimed the land by himself. When it came to Xuande, he kicked him aside, and re-approved that this kind of field was one acre and one bucket, which was far beyond the civilian land, but it was still enough to feed Yu Ding, because this was outside the plug, and some were wasteland, as long as they were willing to reclaim, it was almost incomplete.
And if there is really no land to cultivate, the government will give 50 acres of surplus ding.
For example, for such a military family of five, fifty acres is a must, and then there must be an adult man in his family, who has twenty-five acres, and the lowest is seventy-five acres.
During the period of service in the battalion, his wife and children received monthly rations.
Of course, there are very few of them.
A small amount can almost raise rats.
But in any case, in a place like Liaodong, a military household of five is still theoretically enough to support itself.
Seventy-five acres!
Even if you plant a season of wheat, you can harvest a hundred stone of grain.
If you pay six stones and two and a half stones and more than Ding Tian, you will eventually pay eight and a half stones, and after deducting the cost of seeds and cattle raising, the rest is still enough for the whole family's food and clothing.
But......
"Let's count a family of five, parents, a husband and wife, and a child.
First of all, the good land must all belong to the worldly officers, and the ordinary military households must have planted thin land, which is beyond doubt, even if the ordinary military households have good land, the officer will find a way to take it, even if the officer's original land is Xiatian, he has a way to turn it into good land. It is nothing more than changing the canal that originally led to the fields of ordinary military households into their own fields, which is a common practice in various places, who dares to reason with them directly on the military law, and even the victim military households have to participate in this change of channel!
In the end, all the anointed fields belonged to the officers.
Only those who are not rare for them go to ordinary military households.
In Liaodong, Shangtian can reach more than one stone per mu, and Shangtian barely has one stone, but ordinary military households can't get these, and what they can get is some middle fields and lower fields, and the average yield per mu of these thin fields is only five buckets in a normal year. Fifty acres is only twenty-five stones, and there are nineteen stones left after six stones, and two stones are left at four liters per mu of seeds, and there are seventeen stones left.
Then count Yu Dingtian.
Twenty-five acres of more than Ding Tian will not be a field.
It is impossible to stay in the field and wait for Yu Ding to reclaim, Zhongtian is not, Yu Ding Tian is almost all under the field, the yield per mu is three or four buckets, let's still calculate according to five buckets, produce twelve and a half stones, deduct one stone seed, pay two stones and five buckets, and leave nine stones.
A total of twenty-six stones.
One ding eats at least seven and a half stones, two dings go to fifteen stones, a child has at least three and a half stones, eighteen and a half stones, and the remaining less than eight stones go to two adult women.
In fact, there is already an underfeat.
Women eat much more than men.
And that's not even counting dressing, sickness, natural disasters, and the like.
But if that's the case, it's not that it can't be supported, after all, I'm talking about barely being full, but in fact, how can there be anything really full, and melons and vegetables are all to be eaten on weekdays, and no one can make do with digging wild vegetables.
But as a military household, it is necessary to serve, even if there is no enemy attack, the officer has the right to transfer, even if he is not mobilized to fight, even if he mobilizes these military households to dig canals for his own fields, repair houses for his family, and even harvest crops for his family when he is busy with farming, and serve dishes when his family is at a banquet.
In fact, all the officers of the Guard did this.
This is only the private service of the officers, but also the tolerance of the army, patrolling, cutting fodder for horses, repairing the city, and escorting the envoys, often six or seven out of ten in a year, they cannot farm, so they rely on the women and children of the family.
So what to do if the harvest is delayed?
Nobody cares.
This is still a time when there is no war, and if there is a war, let alone any harvest.
Originally, it was a normal year and only a day to make ends meet, and if there was any accident, there would inevitably be people who did not have enough to eat, not to mention that there were accidents every day, and there were delays in farming every month, and in the end, there was almost no year when the military households were not hungry and cold. And this is still cumulative, this year suffered a disaster, can not receive grain handed in, at that time to keep the account to make up for the next year, not to mention that the generals will also set up a name, today to collect this tomorrow to collect that, the military household is their soldiers, they are not satisfied with the military law.
In the end, the military households couldn't hold on, so they had to run.
But if a military household runs away, their share of grain will have to be shared equally by others, and no one will plant the land of the regular army, so the rest of the rest of the family will be planted, but Liaodong has to pay eight stones of grain, four stones of beans, and two and a half of forage silver.
So more and more people fled.
For the officers, the more they run, the better, because if the military households run away, the land will be completely theirs, and the military camp will be changed to civilian land, which is the wasteland they have reclaimed themselves, and finally the land of the guard post is gone, and it has all become their civilian land.
The guard system is completely finished, and the guard can no longer defend against the enemy. ”
Cao Wenzhao said.
"Then we switched to recruitment."
Yang Xin said.
"The guards are finished, and of course they are recruited in the end.
But the result is still the same, those generals are still these people, they have finished the military household, all the good fields of the guard have been received into their own hands, and they have become family generals, and in the end, the court has no enemy soldiers, so it can only be changed to recruit troops to resist the enemy, and they have to use these family generals.
Eventually, that's what it is now. ”
Cao Wenzhao said.
"That's all there was just now."
Yang Xin said.
"Yes, these are the generals of the family."
Cao Wenzhao said.
"That's right, our principle is, if we eat ours, we will spit it out, and if we take ours, we will give it back, Liaoxi Jiangmen annexed the land, destroyed the guards, and used the swallowed military household land to turn themselves into big landlords, then we will let them spit it out. They used empty salaries, greed for ink and other means to destroy the recruitment, and used the military salaries of the recruits, military merit awards and even the death of the pension, so that they could make their families rich, then we will let them return it.
And then let's change the world here again.
When do you expect your people to arrive? ”
Yang Xin said.
Of course, he would not go to Wang Xiangqian in Shanhaiguan to transfer troops.
Such an old fox, how can he be involved in this kind of thing, and there is no need for him, there are Cao Wenzhao's five thousand elites, who need to transfer otherwise, at this time, Cao Wenzhao's department is returning, and it is going south outside the border wall, including Chen Ce's Sichuan army is also going south along the Liao River, they no longer need to be in Kaiyuan, and Lin Dan Khan's sudden Koubian needs them to transfer to Liaoxi.
Not only them, but the cavalry of Zaisai and Delgrad were also heading south.
The tens of thousands of cavalry gathered by Lin Dan Khan claimed to be 400,000, although the banner outside the border wall was to attack Quang Ninh, but they were constantly putting pressure on Fried Flower and Ebudgeyi, asking all the Inner Khalkha tribes to meet him, and at the same time each brought troops to help in the battle. Even the Horqin Department in the north has been at war with Zhong Nen and other departments, so in the last battle, only Zai Sai, Nuan Tu and other troops rode to Kaiyuan, and in this case, Jin Taiji, as an ally, of course had to send troops to help.
In fact, Lin Dan Khan must have made an appointment with the wild boar skin, and the two of them will work together one by one.
It's just that they didn't expect Yang Xin to stick in again, and the wild boar skin also bumped into the Sichuan and Zhejiang army, an outlier in the Ming army, in Kaiyuan, and finally had to retreat in a hurry, and as a result, Lin Dan Khan was pitted, and the Mingmeng Yehe coalition army, which had just strengthened the alliance through joint operations, turned around to deal with His Majesty the Great Khan.
Yang Xin took advantage of this opportunity to transfer Cao Wenzhao's army.
"Four more days at most."
Cao Wenzhao said.
"Then it's up to them to make up their minds in the past four days."
Yang Xin said.
"But what if it really can't be managed?"
Cao Wenzhao said with a solemn face.
This is a bit big, and if you don't get it right, something big will happen.
"Don't worry, I'm here, there's nothing that can't be cleaned up, let's play big if we want to, the bigger the better, anyway, I wanted to clean it here a long time ago, and now I'm afraid they don't have the courage to play big."
Yang Xin said.
