Binh Lane Fort is located in the territory of De'an Province, northwest of An Lu County, about half a day's journey.

Qin Yiming was appointed as a Zhengqianhu, and he didn't know what Zhengqianhu was before, and where was Zhengqianhu, but under Yang Baihu's introduction, he knew what kind of position he was in.

Qin Yiming is a thousand households in De'an, and belongs to the health office directly under the Xingdu Left-behind Division, and there is another health center in De'an Province, that is, Suizhou Thousand Households. Although this De'an Thousand Households is called a Thousand Households, it is actually equivalent to the establishment of a guard, that is to say, under normal circumstances, the normal establishment has as many as 5,600 people, scattered in Pingli Fort, Niuxin Village and other places, but with Pingli Fort as the core, there are about 20,000 military dependents in Pingli Fort, and there are about 3,000 soldiers in the guard, but now there are more than 1,000 people, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, this phenomenon is extremely common, most of the guards are empty, the soldiers run away, the death of death, or some old and weak, sick and disabled.

When he first arrived in Xiping Fort, Qin Yiming tidied up his armor, and under the guidance of the big cow, the little monkey and Yang Baihu, Qin Yiming finally stepped into this Pingli Fort, which will be the starting point of his life.

The walls around it were in tatters, and there was no one to be seen in the fort, and occasionally a few people were seen lying under the eaves, basking in the warm spring sun, and there was nothing to do, and their clothes were in tatters, like beggars in the streets, or even beggars.

"You don't train here? It's not the farming season yet, so why isn't there anyone on the school grounds? ”

Qin Yiming was very puzzled, and Yang Baihu couldn't answer, he wasn't in Pingli Fort on weekdays, he usually stayed in Niuxin Village, and he didn't come here a few times.

Just when he was full of doubts, a pair of people came to him, about two or three hundred people, full of armor and neatly dressed, looking more energetic, and there were two leaders in front of the team.

"These people still look like soldiers!" Qin Yiming looked at the oncoming team and couldn't help but admire.

"This is the deputy Qianhu and the master of the Qianjiashi, these should be their family members!" Yang Baihu beside him looked at the oncoming team and explained to Qin Yiming

When the team stood in front of Qin Yiming in the aisle, the two leading people walked up to Qin Yiming and the others, looked at them, and after they seemed to recognize the people, one of the older people spoke: "Xiaguan Ma Wenying, deputy Qianhu of De'an Thousand Households." ”

"Xiaguan Yang Tingyong, De'an Qianhu is in charge." A man in his early thirties then bowed.

"Meet Senho-sama!"

Qin Yiming clenched his fists and bowed back: "Qin Yiming, I have seen all my colleagues, how did the kid first arrive, I hope you can try your best to help like assisting my father in the future!" Qin Yiming said very sincerely, the two people in front of him are seniors for Qin Yiming, in the workplace, seniors are still worthy of respect, and they can give him a lot of help as a new student, of course, if they are willing.

"Certainly, definitely, it is our duty to assist Lord Chihu!" Deputy Qianhu Ma Wenying, and Yang Ting, the servant, said in unison, with a smile on their faces.

Qin Yiming also smiled and said: "Deputy Qianhu, I see how there are no people in this fort, occasionally I see a few people, they are also dressed in tatters, lazy and lazy, but these people behind Deputy Qianhu are a little energetic, like soldiers!" ”

Qin Yiming's words made the two of them a little overwhelmed, and after thinking about it, they both smiled tacitly.

Hehe, it's really a child-in-law who doesn't have anything to do with the world, this is the case with thousands of households, not only us here, but now the Ming Dynasty's guard, which one is not like this, is it pretending to be confused or really don't know the situation, such a foolish egg is still our head, phew! The two of them despised and despised the young man in front of them in their hearts, they were thousands of households, but they had an amiable smile on their faces.

"Hehe, Qin Qianhu first arrived in Pingli Fort, the situation here may not be clear, and he will slowly understand it in the future, but I will talk about it in the future, today I waited for the two of us, and specially prepared good wine and good food for the thousands of households, please give a face." Ma Wenying has a sincere smile, at least he feels that he is very similar.

Qin Yiming thought about meeting for the first time, so he dismissed the face of the two subordinates, which was not appropriate, so he agreed, but he wanted to go around the castle first, and then go to the appointment in the evening, and both of them left happily.

Qin Yiming inspected in depth, and the situation he saw was simply shocking, not only are there few people here, but the people in the guard are almost extremely poor, they are all dressed in tatters, and what's more, many people wear woven straw sandals all year round, and everyone has yellow faces and thin muscles, and they are as thin as wood, how can such a person fight?

"How so? Didn't all the military households in the guard house have the land distributed by the imperial court? Qin Yiming didn't know much about the Wei of the Ming Dynasty, but he still knew about this basic knowledge, and when he saw that these soldiers in the Wei were like beggars, he couldn't help but ask.

"Don't you know about the thousands of households, the current guard house is not the guard house in the Taizu period, although the imperial court has allocated acres of land, but for a long time, many military households' acres have been encroached upon by the people above, and many have been encroached upon by large families, and the loss of tuntian in the guard house is extremely serious, and now many military households have no land at all, and the military households have not been paid, so their lives are extremely poor." Yang Baihu explained.

"Young master, our family has 10,000 acres of fertile land." The little monkey reminded.

Qin Yiming's face became bad, the acres of land in this guard house have been invaded by others, so how can these military households live? The military households are all poor and have become like such birds, so can they still fight? Is it any wonder that the imperial court now relies on recruitment, and no one looks down on those guards, and they really can't talk about people who have combat effectiveness and can't even eat enough now, and they still expect them to throw their heads and spill their blood on the battlefield?

"Originally, these thousand households owned more than 300,000 mu of fertile land, but now it is estimated that it is still in the hands of military households about tens of thousands of mu, and I don't know the specific situation." Yang Baihu said.

"So serious? How many people can be supported by tens of thousands of acres? Qin Yiming felt that this matter was very serious, no wonder there were often mutinies and soldiers fleeing in the late Ming Dynasty.

"Those who have no land have either fled or become bandits, and these leftovers may still have a few acres of thin fields to survive and survive. Some of them are raised families, they don't need acres of land, like Ma Qianhu and Yang Yanshi just now, they raised more than 100 people, Qin Lao Qianhu also raised more than 300 people, but most of them were taken away by Lao Qianhu, and there are 50 people under me, Lao Qianhu kept it for me, just for Qin Qianhu's sake, no family has no strength, no strength has no status. Yang Baihu looked at Qin Yiming, who had a bad face, and didn't know what to say, in fact, these situations were normal and common, but Qin Yiming joined the army at the beginning and didn't know at all.

Of the 10,000 soldiers, there are only 6,000, and 4,000 are used for communicating, self-sufficiency, and family support. It has been followed for a long time, but the family members use shields and risks, and regard the other 6,000 as discarded, and there are many discarded things and few family members, and they will not be able to resist the enemy.

Qin Yiming suddenly remembered Dai Li's summary of the defeat at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and now that he thinks about it, it really makes sense, how can such an army fight?

If you want to change the situation and change the tragedy of history, you must start to change from here! If a country does not have a division of tigers and wolves, how will the country survive, it will not be able to govern the people internally, and it will not be able to defend itself against the enemy externally, because the army is the last force guarantee of the country.

"Mrs. Zhang, I beg you, think of a way again, my sons are already thirty years old, and if you don't find a girl to marry, you will become an old bachelor!" An old woman pulled another old woman and said, while trying to take off the jade bracelet in her hand and stuff it into the mother-in-law's hand.

"Oh, it's not that I don't want to do it, it's really that your son is just a big-headed soldier in the guard, and now there is still a daughter who is willing to live with the big-headed soldier, eat and drink for a short time, and if you don't want to go out to fight, I really can't help it!" Mrs. Zhang talked about her difficulties while pushing the jade bracelet out.

"You have to think of a way to find more in the nearby villages! As long as it's a girl, I don't dislike it if I have a missing arm or leg or is deaf or blind, my son ...... about it."

"I said eldest sister, I've been looking for four or five families, I really see that your family is quite solid, and I only agreed to have a few acres of land left, but as soon as I told the girl that it was a soldier in the guard, they immediately knocked me out of the door, hey, I've been a matchmaker for many years, but I can't smash my job, and now there are more men who can't marry daughters-in-law in this guard, aren't you waiting, you better find someone else." Mrs. Zhang walked as she spoke, and another old woman followed behind.

Qin Yiming watched them walk away, and he sighed with great emotion in his heart, the military households in this guard house were already poor and famous, and they couldn't even find their wives. The family is the most basic cell of society, if even the family is unstable, then the society will be finished, and it seems that this health center is on the verge of completion. But don't worry, I'm coming, I'm going to re-establish this place, I'm going to train a group of brave warriors, an invincible army!

In the evening, Qin Yiming came as promised, Mr. Ma and Yang Yishi greeted each other with a smile, and the wine and food were quite sumptuous.
