Chapter 680 War and Peace

"Lord Prefect, you have to be the master for us......" The fourteen lieutenants looked at each other, and bowed to the ground one after another, and there was also their share of the land forcibly occupied by the Tusi, if the prefect didn't care, even their share of the land could not be recovered, for the sake of the land, they knocked on the ground one by one, and it seemed that the ground and the head were the culprits......

Kong Lanchuan frowned slightly, "The verdict is evidence-based, without evidence, the government can't make decisions for you......"

"Lord Prefect, why did the people of the Cross Pass and Xiao Jiaao get back their own land......

"Your information is well-informed," Kong Lanchuan said with a straight face: "This mansion tells you the truth, the people of Cross Pass and Xiaojiaao did not take back their own land, but received the reward of the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion, twenty-five acres per ding, did they originally have so much land?" ”

"Reward? Why is it that only the people of Cross Pass and Xiao Jia Pass can be rewarded? ”

"If you know about the reward, why don't you know the terms of the reward?" Kong Lanchuan looked at the elders coldly, and didn't let them get up, "They have entered the Han nationality and served the ...... of God."

The lieutenants instantly understood, but they still didn't give up, and someone whispered: "My lord, we are originally Yi people, why do we want to become Chinese?" ”

"You can maintain your status as a Yi person, and no one will persecute you," Kong Lanchuan said, "but the laws of the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion require this, and if you refuse to be classified as Han, you will not be able to receive God's reward!" ”

"My lord, if we serve God, can we get the land back......

Kong Lanchuan shook his head, "God will only shine on the Han people, if you refuse to become a Han citizen, God will not be able to shine, and there will be no reward for the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion!" ”

"This ......"

"You go first, discuss with the people, and this government will fight for you," Kong Lanchuan looked very embarrassed, "However, the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion has always followed the law, if you can't 'become a Han citizen and serve God', this mansion will go, I'm afraid it will be difficult to speak......"

Kong Lanchuan sent the lieutenants back, and he had to hurry up and get the matter of the cross pass and Xiao Jia Pass done first, and hand over his first political achievements to the metropolitan governor.

At this time, Li Zicheng was personally watching the prisoners of war to widen the official road between Zunyi Mansion and Zunyi County, between Zunyi County and Zunyi Prefecture, but thirty miles, only half a post distance, if the town is more accurate.

However, Zunyi County is located in the upper reaches of Luomeng water, the terrain is relatively flat, and there is more familiar land that has been developed, and it is where the original governor of Banzhou is located, and the city outline is formed, and there is no need to relocate for the time being.

However, most of the official roads are small roads that run along the mountain, and if they were to be widened, it was very laborious, and the only primitive tools such as shovels and axes and chisels were used, and the progress of the project was extremely slow.

Li Zicheng walked around the official road every day, and he was very anxious, so he asked his soldiers to get some gunpowder, and where the rocks were particularly hard, he used gunpowder to blast them.

In order to arouse the enthusiasm of the prisoners of war, Li Zicheng asked Kong Lanchuan to leave four "li" of cultivated land in the north and south of Zunyi Prefecture, close to both sides of the official road, and in the north and south of Zunyi County, he also left three "li" of cultivated land.

Because the prisoners of war have settled in Banju for a long time, they basically have wives and children in the local area, and if they can get these lands, even if they retire in the future, at least they don't have to worry about their lives.

Stimulated by the land, the work efficiency of the prisoners of war was greatly improved, and Li Zicheng left them behind, and took the map to investigate the territory of Zunyi County, and personally drew a new landscape map.

Under the mediation of the small officials, among the sixteen miles directly under the Zunyi Mansion, except for the cross pass and Xiaojiaao, the remaining fourteen miles finally bowed to Kong Lanchuan and agreed to "join the Han nationality and serve God".

Kong Lanchuan and Du Rusu issued a joint notice, because the Tusi encroached on the people's land, the incident was too long, and the people could not come up with definite evidence, so according to the last judgment, most of the Tusi's land was recovered and redistributed.

Due to the increase in cultivated land, the number of ordinary people is also increasing, so the villages directly under Zunyi Prefecture have increased from 16 li to 20 li, and the people will receive 25 mu of cultivated land and mountainous land for every ding.

The government will immediately organize manpower to re-register the population and divide the land, so that as long as the people are "naturalized and serve God," they will be able to obtain a sufficient amount of land, and after the crops on the land are harvested, they will be handed over to the new owner, and the government will issue a new title deed.

The newly added four "li" were used to reward prisoners of war for road construction, which were temporarily sealed or cultivated by others, and the prisoners of war could apply to the government for these lands after their service expired.

The whole government began to get busy again, and the staff of the government was divided into several groups to redivide the territory of each "li", redetermine the length of the li, and redivide the land according to the number of dingkou in each household.

While going to the countryside, the officials will also redraw the landscape map according to Li Zicheng's requirements, and it doesn't matter if it is not too accurate or standardized, as long as they can understand it.

Li Zicheng's goal is to prepare for the development of transportation, so the re-division of each "li" is set up in a place with convenient transportation as much as possible, as long as the transportation is convenient and the people have communication with the outside of the mountain, they will not be too ignorant.

These 20 "li", which is about the 20 townships in later generations, are places where population and wealth are relatively concentrated, and each "A" is equivalent to a village.

The original Tusi system has been officially changed, even if the Tusi who left their lives behind, they have lost most of their land, and when they are redistributed, they are the same as ordinary people, they are 25 mu per ding, but their property has not been confiscated, and they can still engage in commercial activities.

…………………………………………………………

At the end of September, Lu Xiangsheng finally rushed to Beijing, heard the rumors of peace between the imperial court and the Tartars, and immediately asked to see Yang Sichang, the secretary of the military department, to inquire about the authenticity of the matter.

Zhu Youzhen heard that Lu Xiangsheng rushed to Beijing, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, the stone hanging in his heart, finally put down half, in order to show the importance of Lu Xiangsheng, he left the Qianqing Palace, and summoned Yang Sichang and Lu Xiangsheng in the Wuying Palace.

"The minister knocks to see the emperor!" Yang Sichang and Lu Xiangsheng both bowed to the ground.

Zhu Youzhen didn't speak, but looked at Lu Xiangsheng's back, Lu Xiangsheng is not a tiger's back, but he has a well-proportioned figure, wearing armor, even if he kneels on the ground, he has a heroic spirit!

"No rudeness!"

"Emperor Xie!"

Zhu Youzhen looked at Lu Xiangsheng, who exuded a heroic aura, and his heart was even more happy, "Lu Aiqing, the Tartars divided their troops and broke through the pass, what do you think?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng thought of the rumors that the court and the Tartars were negotiating, and he didn't know if the emperor agreed, he clasped his fists with both hands, bowed his head and said, "The lord is fighting!" ”

Zhu Youzhen was shocked in his heart, his face changed unconsciously, and he said for a long time: "What rumors did Lu Aiqing hear...... This is all in the past, and after the court meeting, the court has no such plans! ”

Yang Sichang suddenly took out two copies of the Tang newspaper from his arms, glanced at Lu Xiangsheng, and said: "Your Majesty, Liaodong news, Huang Taiji captured Yizhou, and used Yizhou as a base to storm Jinzhou...... Li Zicheng in Sichuan and Luo Rucai in Huguang are both unwilling to accept appeasement......"

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, he couldn't take care of Liukou and Liaodong for the time being, "Lu Aiqing, the Tartars are attacking the Beijing Division, what is your strategy for retreating from the enemy?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Yang Sichang and said: "Back to the emperor, although the Tartars are cavalry, our army has been fighting with the Tartars for a long time, and has accumulated methods to deal with the cavalry, as long as the infantry is in formation, the sword and shield soldiers are outside, the pikemen are in the middle, and the archers are behind, they can be invincible......"

"Oh?" Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed, and his heart for peace suddenly decreased, "Lu Aiqing said, how to be invincible?" ”

"If the Tartars attack, with their bows and arrows, supplemented by artillery, they can strike at a distance against the Tartars, and our sword and shield soldiers can resist the bows and arrows of the Tartars, and we are in an advantage when it comes to long-range strikes; Once the Tartars get close, the sword and shield soldiers form a formation to resist the first wave of the Tartars' attacks, while the pikemen can use the advantage of the long weapons to poke the Tartars' horses, and in close combat, we will not be at a disadvantage either......"

Zhu You couldn't help but nod, although he had never been on the battlefield, he still understood the basic battle mode.

"Your Majesty," Lu Xiangsheng saw that Zhu Youzhen agreed with his method of using troops, so he said: "The soldiers of Datong, Shanxi, and Xuanfu have been guarding the northern Xinjiang for a long time, and they have a deep understanding of the method of fighting with cavalry. ”

"The soldiers and horses of the three towns are close to the Beijing Division, Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, Hu Dawei, the chief soldier of Shanxi, and Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, are all controlled by Aiqing," Zhu Youzhen has always liked Lu Xiangsheng, so he said: "I awarded Aiqing Shangfang the sword, the title of secretary of the leading army, and the governor of the world!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed to the ground, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Yang Sichang's eyes were introverted, and he didn't look at anything, but he said: "Your Majesty, Lord Lu is the governor of the world, who should be the supervisor of the army?" ”

"Qi Qian," Zhu Youzhen said without hesitation: "Qi Qian has always been loyal, and he has been supervising the army in Xuanda for a long time, and he knows the roots of the Tartars, so he will definitely be able to help Lu Aiqing!" ”

"Thank you to the emperor!"

"Although the treasury is scarce, but Governor Lu Aiqing has ...... reinforcements" Zhu Youzhen smiled and said: "I took out 10,000 taels of troops from the treasury, Lu Aiqing, I don't have much silver in the treasury?" ”

"Thank you, Lord Ron!" Lu Xiangsheng was secretly happy, the emperor was so attentive, it was obviously the main battle, and the rumors that the emperor agreed to negotiate peace were obviously misinformation.

Yang Sichang and Lu Xiangsheng bid farewell to Zhu Youzhen and left Wuying Palace, just out of the palace gate, Yang Sichang suddenly stood still, "Lord Lu ......"

Lu Xiangsheng arched his hand, "Does Lord Yang have anything to say?" ”

Yang Sichang hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Lord Lu, do you know, why did the emperor use the high to raise the hidden supervision army?" ”

"Is it because Gao Qiqian once participated in the peace negotiations?" Lu Xiangsheng was stunned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Won't it?" Since the emperor took out the silver from his internal money to reward the army, is the determination of the main battle not firm? ”

Yang Sichang calmed his face, shook his head, sighed slightly, and actually left Lu Xiangsheng and returned to the military department alone.
