Chapter 16 Abolish the Guardian Conferral Policies

The current situation is completely reversed.

Cao Ying's attack on Jiangnan was like a bamboo, not only because Jiangnan was lax. There are also reasons for the lack of troops, Zhang Xuan himself knows that the biggest enemy he encountered in Jiangnan is not the army of the government, but the family soldiers of the gentry from all over the country.

The imperial court is not without soldiers who can fight in the south of the Yangtze River, but there are too few, and each province probably has a little, which may not add up to more than Cao Ying's army, and it is divided into the south and the north, so it is naturally not the opponent of Cao Ying's Eastern Expeditionary Army.

But now it's the other way around.

Zheng Zhilong is in Zhoushan, even if Zhang Mingzhen and Wang Zhiren are added, there are only 350,000 people, even if Chongming Shen Tingyang is added, it is not more than 60,000, and the good and bad are uneven. If you fight a decisive battle on land, one or two hundred thousand Cao battalion elites can be broken.

And Cao Ying is in Jiangnan, there are Luo Yulong, Wang Long, Zhang Xuan, Yang Shenzu, Luo Dai and other departments, almost half of the main force of Cao Ying, all in Jiangnan. But Gangnam is also very big.

Zhenjiang Mansion, Changzhou Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, Songjiang Mansion, Huzhou Mansion, Jiaxing Mansion, Hangzhou Mansion, Yanzhou Mansion, plus the five mansions where Zhang Xuan stood, even though Cao Ying's Eastern Expeditionary Army entered the south of the Yangtze River and expanded the army, and now Zhang Xuan is estimated to be between 1230,000.

But even so, except for a few, these prefectures and counties are almost all near the sea and the river. In the face of the long riverbank, the coastline, 1120,000 people, is simply not enough.

Not to mention that there is a series of internal connections inside.

The current situation has emerged. Zhang Xuan estimated that unless Cao Ying's men and horses in Jiangnan were doubled, they would be able to deploy defenses along the coastline and resist the attacks of the official army and naval divisions.

But twice as many people is easy to say, but it's all money. And the army is trapped in the south of the Yangtze River, what to take to the west to Zuo Liangyu?

"Actually, it may not be beneficial for us for the officials and soldiers to act like this?" Zhang Su said.

"Benefits?" Zhang Xuan said: "What benefits? ”

At this moment, the group had already arrived in front of the mansion.

Zhang Su said: "This is not the place to speak. My lord, let's talk about it inside. ”

"Okay." Zhang Xuan said.

After the group entered the government and sat down, Zhang Su said: "The benefits mentioned by the subordinates are the hearts of the people in Jiangnan. ”

"Jiangnan people's hearts?" Zhang Xuan said. For a while, his heart lit up, as if he thought of it, but he couldn't summarize it.

Zhang Su said: "The biggest reason why Jiangnan is easy to settle and difficult to calm is that the people's hearts are not in our hearts, and the officials and troops are blockading the coast and disturbing the general situation. I have found out that the people of Jiangnan regarded us as thieves before. However, after the officers and soldiers attacked the coastal areas, more and more people came to report to us. ”

"Okay." sheet

Xuan took the case, and his excitement was beyond words.

He said secretly: "Why didn't I think of this? ”

Jiangnan is different from other places, although the people of Jiangnan have also had natural and man-made disasters in the past few years, and in many places, there have also been civil changes, but on the whole, they can still get by.

The Chinese people are the most secure and the most restless.

The most peaceful thing, as long as you can let them live, you will never make trouble, so the people of Jiangnan are clear-minded, which is natural. And many people in the north can't survive, and they are naturally happy to welcome the king when they break into the camp.

And the military discipline of the official army has never been unbearable, Zheng Zhilong was a thief at sea before.

Military discipline is not much better, at the moment they are all defeated and retreated to the sea, military discipline can only be worse, not better, after all, before, the court could still suppress the soldiers, but now even if it is a small soldier, it is absolutely impossible for the court to do it, if you want to lead the troops, you must make up for it from other aspects.

The best way to make up for it is money.

But money never falls from the sky.

Nature comes from the people.

As soon as Zhang Xuan thought of this, he suddenly didn't feel that there was anything difficult about the things in front of him. Although he was a little unkind, he wished that the officials and troops would go too far, so that the people of Jiangnan would return to King Wu.

Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, although it is a little pedantic, but many times, it is useful.

"Second brother, what do you think we should do?" Zhang Xuan said: "Only then can we pull the hearts of the people over." ”

Zhang Su said: "I have a main one, when the adults were in Runing, didn't they make up households to measure and grant fields? Nowadays, it is not as good as abolishing the coastal guards, taking the land of the guards into the state, and granting the land to the coastal people, so that the coastal people will naturally be used by adults, and it will not cost a single gold, and there will be police for thousands of miles of coastal defense. ”

When Zhang Xuan heard this, he had a bottom in his heart and said, "Okay, that's it." ”

For the sake of coastal defense, Zhu Yuanzhang arranged I don't know how many guards on the coast, these guards are under the jurisdiction of good land, but the times are long, and they have been invaded by the generals, and this account book is even more confused. I can't tell who's who.

But Zhang Xuan insisted on identifying these lands, which were the land of the guard and the land of the imperial court, and it was reasonable to confiscate them now for the use of the new dynasty.

This plan, in a sense, is actually a plan to reorganize the health center. It's just that the details have not changed.

"My lord, there is a hidden danger in this matter." Zhang Su said: "Adults also know what the hearts of the people in Jiangnan are. If we give armor to the coastal people, I am afraid that these people will be unstable in the future. ”

"Unstable." Zhang Xuan laughed and said: "I think that a regime should not be afraid of the people, as long as we uphold the original intention of raising the army, how can the people vote for the Ming Dynasty and not for us?" ”

"What is our original purpose for raising troops?" Zhang Xuan asked.

Zhang Su didn't speak, he didn't actually have any original intentions, he just had to do it.

Cao Zongyu didn't speak, his original intention was to take revenge, but at this moment, it was just to repay Zhang Xuan's kindness, and second, to work hard for himself to create a future.

"Live." Yang Shenzu said: "Live." ”

Yang Shenzu joined Cao Ying in Henan Daxing, and there was a little tremor in his voice, as if he remembered something he would never think about at the beginning.

"Yes, King Cao raised an army, originally for the people. In order for the people to live. Zhang Xuan originally thought that the sentence in the history book "Chuang Wang raised troops, originally for the people." Just when the words came to his lips, he changed his words, and he continued: "As long as we firmly believe that we must do better than the previous dynasty, why worry, the people will not obey me. So, this one thing is decided. ”

Zhang Xuan has always had this kind of self-confidence.

If a modern person does not have the confidence to do better than the ancients, it is simply a wasted time.

"I'll get it." When Zhang Su heard Zhang Xuan's words, he had a deafening feeling, a kind of confidence that he didn't understand, and suddenly he didn't understand where Zhang Xuan came from.

However, this plan is easy to say, but it is more difficult to do, however, the Jiangnan literary style is prosperous, and it is naturally indispensable, Zhang Xuan has not collected much in Jiangnan University, but there are many down-and-out scholars, but it is enough.

To do this one thing, the first thing, if nothing else, is to kill someone.

If you don't kill all these guards, where will there be land?

Of course, it is not necessary to kill them all, but you must always kill a batch first, which is used to kill chickens and monkeys.

Zhang Xuan discussed a lot with Zhang Su and his party, but Zhang Xuan was a little tired from running thousands of miles, and the group also retired one after another.

Zhang Xuan washed up, lay on the bed, and couldn't sleep, today's events gave him a great stimulus.

"Military issues, can be resolved politically." Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart: "Political problems can also be solved militarily. That's what I realized today. And whether this policy can be expanded. ”

The Ming Dynasty guards could not fight, everyone knew that many guards had degenerated into county seats. If all the land in these health centers were to be closed up and redistributed by the state, wouldn't it be a small-scale land reform?

Moreover, the generals of the guard, although they can't fight, have been blessed by the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, and there are never a few loyal people among them. After cleaning up the die-hard loyalty of the Ming Dynasty and granting the land, wouldn't it be the basic plate of this dynasty.

Zhang Xuan vaguely remembered that in the Yellow Book of Houhu, the cultivated area of the land of the health center was about 4 million mu.

As soon as Zhang Xuan thought of this, he only felt that he was tired and couldn't sleep, so he immediately got up and lit the lamp, picked up the brush and wrote: "The abolition of the guard gave Tian Ce." ”
