After the establishment of the Hong Dynasty, Li Tian needed to take care of a lot of work, especially the establishment of a new political system and institution from scratch, but it was a particularly haggard thing.

The cabinet and the heads of various departments couldn't understand why Li Tianyang was willing to find more things to do now, and did not follow the original system and institutional division of the Ming Dynasty.

Fortunately, in the Hongmen era, Li Tianyang and they were already practicing these institutional divisions that he brought from later generations at the grassroots level step by step, although everyone still has many puzzles, but no one feels unfamiliar with it when it comes to implementation.

Except for the newly occupied land, the people at the bottom.

When the Hongmen Dynasty was the predecessor of the Hong Dynasty, the government departments began to conduct surveys and visits among the people, mainly to find the population and then register it, so as to count the existing people.

Perhaps, in the Ming Dynasty, the hermit can be said to be a headache for the Ming Dynasty, but in today's Hong Dynasty, the existence of the hermit can be said to be very rare.

The reason is actually very simple, the propaganda of the Hong Dynasty spread from the very beginning, and all the people on the existing land of the Hong Dynasty could receive the land by household, and register it as their personal property.

With just one name registration, a family can receive at least fifteen acres of land with a foundation, and there is nothing more attractive for the people who live on the land in this era.

Of course, there will definitely be penalties for non-registered hidden households, such as not being allowed to enter the town to trade, not being able to enter the officialdom to make a living, and so on.

At least, after the Zaohong Dynasty issued and publicized their tax policies and various welfare policies, as long as they were not fools, there was no need to think about what to choose.

Except for a small number of villages that are enclosed in the mountains and forests and do not know the news, the total number of people newly counted by the Hong Dynasty has reached 3.44 million households, totaling more than 17.3 million people.

Of course, compared to the land occupied by the Hong Dynasty today, this population could not even achieve the development of private counties and cities, after all, these populations also included millions of people from Dayuan Island and Luzon Islands.

Now renamed the Ministry of National Defense, Wu Chao, the former vice minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, has long been extremely dissatisfied with the protection of the people in their territory by the government agencies of the Hong Dynasty like treasures.

The Hong Dynasty army can be said to be invincible on the battlefield, but it has not been able to launch a comprehensive counteroffensive against the Ming Dynasty, the reason is that the strength of their army has not been able to achieve full strength, for the huge military strength of the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that the Hong Dynasty army is far less than more than half of the opponent's strength, launching an active offensive.

"Put down your weapons, Governor Gong Jilan, don't be a senseless struggle!"

Soon, in addition to the fifteen members of the Hongtang Special Combat Team, only Gong Jilan and his entourage, who were guarded by seven or eight personal guards, were still standing in the mountain temple, and there were also only fourteen or fifteen people.

However, among the corpses or wounded lying on the ground, most of them were Ming Dynasty soldiers, and the Hongtang special combat team members paid the price of seven injuries, killing and wounding more than 20 Ming Dynasty soldiers, and they could not recover their combat effectiveness for the time being.

Raising the close-fitting short crossbow in his hand, Yao Wenzhong, the temporary commander of the two special operations teams, calmly began to persuade him to surrender.

At the same time, the remaining special combat team members slowly and unnoticedly spread out in all directions, blocking the only exit from the mountain temple, and the target in front of them had the slightest chance of escaping.

"Hmph, shameless thief, as a member of the second rank of the Ming Tang and Tang Dynasties, how can he be bullied by you!"

Gong Jilan's face was pale, how could he have felt the breath of death like this today, the bow and arrows flew in his hands just now, the blood splattered in the battle, and the wails and moans of the injured and dying people all made Gong Jilan, the governor, always worried, for fear that he would be shot by a cold arrow if he was not careful.

Even so, Gong Jilan faced this situation, but she still stubbornly did not show weakness.

"It's embarrassing!"

Yao Wenzhong also expected it, and his previous speech was just in case of thought, but now it seems that he has to see the truth under his hands.

"Up!"

In the face of this Ming Dynasty governor who did not see the coffin and did not shed tears, Yao Wenzhong gave an order very simply, and fifteen special combat team members, including him, rushed up, seemingly acting without interfering with each other, but in fact they were fighting in coordination with each other, and the targets had already been assigned by the way, and there was no chaos at all.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! ”

Several Ming Dynasty guards fell in response to the shot of bows and crossbow feathers, and several high-ranking officials of Gong Jilan, who had lost these guards, suddenly showed a big flaw.

"Boom!"

Bai Guangen, who was beside Gong Jilan, let out a crisp sound from the long knife in his hand, and saw that his eyes were fierce, as if he had made a great determination, and the long knife drew an arc in the air and slashed down quickly.

"Shhh

The sluggishness of the knife into the flesh was followed by a terrible cry of pain, followed by a figure that staggered to the side.

"How daring!"

"Bastard!"

"What are you doing?!"

A few questions and angry cries sounded, but they did not affect the long knife in Bai Guangen's hand to continue to move.

"I'm sorry!"

It wasn't until the long knife in Bai Guangen's hand stopped in front of Gong Jilan's neck, because inertia left a slight wound on Gong Jilan's neck, and the blood flowed out slowly, and then Bai Guangen said a word of apology.

The sudden change was not only unexpected by the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, but also by Yao Wenzhong and his group of special combat personnel, who thought they were in control of the situation.

"You, Bai Guangen, you are so daring, it is in vain that the Lord is so important to you, but you want to be ungrateful and join the enemy?"

On the side, Ai Zhenxiong, Tang Tong and other general soldiers roared fiercely, as if they were going to devour Bai Guangen alive.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the so-called people who know the times are Junjie, don't you still understand the situation now? If you really follow our governor all the way to the dark, the heroes of Hongtang on the other side may be soft on our governor, but they may not really care about our martial artists. ”

At this time, there is also a deputy chief soldier who fell in a pool of blood, and the lesson from the past is here, Bai Guangen, a merciless and unrighteous person, would not dare to put his life on the side of the Hongtang soldiers.

"If you really care about the life of the governor, I advise you to put down your weapons now and obediently accept the constraints of the heroes of Hongmen."

After saying this, Bai Guangen turned his eyes to Yao Wenzhong again, and said to Yao Wenzhong with a somewhat stammering look: "The heroes of Hongmen, I, Bai Guangen, now abandon the darkness and abandon the darkness and the light!" ”
