Staff officer Ma Mingluan led a brigade to Dazu County, next to Dazhou, and with the assistance of the magistrate, gathered the security brigades of various townships to discuss matters. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Please check the hukou, Dazu County has 100,000 people, not the 40,000 people registered in the household registration, as mentioned earlier, although the Hongwu period household registration management is very strict, the hukou, land registration on the fish scale book, but since then, the household registration and land management have never really been implemented.

There is a spectacle in this way, the number of people in the Ming Dynasty has never increased in more than 270 years, and the national household registration is still the household registration in the early years of Hongwu just from the ruins of the war.

After the re-inventory and strict inspection of ID cards, although in troubled times, the population has grown exponentially, with a population of more than 100,000 and more than 20,000 registered adult males.

According to the population density, Dazu is divided into seven townships (at this time, there are few people, and the area of the township is very large, which is equivalent to six or seven townships as a township in the previous life), according to the scale of one strong man for each Jia, ten strong men for each village, and more than 100 strong men for each township, and the security brigade was formed in each township two months ago.

Ten days ago, three graduates of the officer training camp were sent in, and they went deep into the townships and villages, and brought those militia regiments for training at night.

After Ma Mingluan came to Dazu County, he first found these three students to understand the situation, assigned tasks, and then took the student Zhang Daniu to Wangjiachang together.

The head of the township had already been informed, and hurriedly ordered the officials to beat gongs and drums to let the strong men of each village gather, so it took half a day's effort, more than 150 croppers were assembled, and some of them came to the door of the township office with steel drills, axes in their hands, or machetes or something, with different colors of clothing and different equipment.

First of all, Zhang Daniu carried out the queue training, and everyone trained for more than ten days in the past two months, although the queue was not too neat, but it was not too chaotic.

After the whole training was completed, Ma Mingluan turned over and dismounted, and after inspecting everyone one by one, he came to the front of the queue again, and immediately let those over 30 years old come out of the ranks, let the brothers be with them, and those who are in poor health, let the parents who are alive but only children be out of the ranks, and let the wives and children and children still be in the queue.

Everyone didn't expect to come to this hand at all, and some of the people who came out of the queue were smiling and beaming, and finally escaped this catastrophe.

But there are a few practitioners among them, who feel that they will go into battle to kill the enemy, and they are cleared out like this, and they seem to be unwilling.

In this way, it took a stick of incense to work, and there were only more than eighty or ninety people left, although the number was much smaller, but it looked more vigorous and vigorous than in the past.

Looking at the childish faces, Ma Mingluan began to speak, talking about the murder and arson of the local tyrants, the wealth and the death, and now they are plundering the people of Dazhou and Pengzhou together with the Great West Liukou.

If the local thugs rob the people of Dazhou and Pengzhou, the refugees will become begging and will go to Guang'an Prefecture to beg.

Talking about this mission, it is to go to Dazhou to reinforce the local people, protect everyone's wives and children, and protect everyone's property.

In the past few years, the atrocities of local thugs have already spread, they wear masks when they commit crimes, kill people and goods, and some of the surrounding villages have been poisoned.

Although the Great Western Army was still strict in military discipline, at the beginning of the year, it was necessary to drive the scholars in the township to Chengdu and the large families to Chengdu, which also made everyone quite annoyed.

Now I hear that the local thugs are looting Dazhou, if they don't stop it, they are likely to loot their hometowns, which makes many people unbearable, and some even shout and curse.

But some people also raised objections, when the security corps was formed that day, the official documents were not clear, everyone was just protecting the territory and the people in their own county, and now they want to go to other states and counties, which is against everyone's promise, right?

Besides, everyone is a good peasant man, although it is hard at home, it is better than going to the battlefield to die.

When some thieves heard that they were going to go to war, they were not afraid of losing face and losing a bad reputation, so they questioned it nervously.

Ma Mingluan smiled and asked with a smile: "Mao Dog Baby, how did your grandfather die?" ”

When the hairy dog baby heard it, she didn't know what it was, and replied with a smile: "My grandfather is a good old man, he lived to be seventy years old, and he died at the end of his life." ”

Ma Mingluan nodded, smiled and continued to ask, "What about your grandfather?" ”

The hairy dog baby smiled awkwardly and replied: "There was a famine during the Wanli years, there was no food at that time, and grandpa was starving to death." ”

Ma Mingluan was overjoyed, and then asked, "Then, what about your father?" Are you still alive now? ”

The hairy dog baby shook her head and replied: "Alas, in the past few years, there has been a shortage of soldiers, and a few years ago when I arrived in the state, I met a local thug, I was frightened, and I died within a few days of coming back." ”

Ma Mingluan looked at the hairy dog baby with a smile and continued to ask: "Hairy dog baby, do you know how you will die in the future?" ”

Everyone laughed, in ancient times, talking about life and death was quite a taboo issue, although the hairy dog baby was an ordinary farmer, he was asked this with an angry face, although he didn't dare to attack, but the anger was obvious.

Ignoring Ma Mingluan's identity as an official, the hairy dog baby's face was heavy, and she forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, and did not answer Ma Mingluan's words at all.

Ma Mingluan smiled heartily, and immediately analyzed that the hairy dog baby was dying, because in the peaceful and prosperous era, he would rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world, and of course he could live a long life in the peaceful and prosperous world.

The grandfather of the hairy dog baby starved to death, because of the natural and man-made disasters at that time, suffered disasters, corrupt officials and corrupted officials, oppressed the people, and the people could not survive, so they could starve to death.

The father of the hairy dog baby was scared to death, because it was a troubled time, thieves were rampant, and the lives of the people hung by a thread.

Now in the troubled times, if you can't achieve peace, the tragedy of the grandfather of the hairy dog baby and the father of the hairy dog baby is about to be staged on everyone, if you can't support the people of Dazhou, you will starve to death, be scared to death by the local tyrant, and be killed by the local tyrant is everyone.

It is impossible for everyone to die like the grandfather of the hairy dog baby in the troubled times, and it is very likely that they will be starved to death, scared to death, or just survive like a dog.

Now is a troubled time, everyone has seen a lot of birth, old age, sickness and death, and now listening to Ma Mingluan say this time, thinking of what he has experienced and seen, everyone is sad.

Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Ma Mingluan appeared and said that he was just a scholar in the past, and if he was in the peaceful and prosperous times, he might not even be able to pass the exam, but he followed the general to the battlefield more than a dozen times, and now he has become a senior staff officer, and this time he was ordered to lead a 500 militia regiment.

Zhang Daniu appeared to say that he had eaten a lot in the past and was disliked, and he followed the general to join the army two years ago, and he fought more than ten battles, except for being slashed in the arm, he was not injured.

Last year, he was promoted to squad leader, and in the middle of the year, he was promoted to squadron leader, and he was sent to the officer training camp to study for three months, which was an eye-opener.

Now that he has a monthly salary of 5 taels of silver, not only does his family live comfortably, but those who looked down on him in the past stammered themselves and their parents one by one.

………

Just like the MLM in the previous life, when I heard that Zhang Daniu, a farmer who was looked down upon, and a cowherd baby could get ahead, he also suffered day and night, and the people who were struggling on the line of life and death were drunk one by one, and some even applauded loudly.

Seeing that the agitation was almost over, Ma Mingluan immediately announced that the militia was a local armed force, which was good.

This time, he was transferred to fight in other counties and counties, and his treatment during the war was raised to the level of the loyal and righteous army.

Ordinary soldiers, one tael and five taels of silver per month, were promoted as squad leaders, and two taels of silver per month, and were promoted as squadron leaders, and three taels of silver per month.

Those who are killed or wounded in battle will be treated the same as those of the Loyal and Righteous Army.

During the expedition, the township organized other people to help with labor (that is, to help with farm work during the busy season, which was all too common in ancient times).

It's much better than working part-time jobs, not only can other people help you do the work, but you can also earn a military salary, so why not?

It was decided to recruit one or two squadrons from each township, and the squad leader was elected by everyone.

Hearing that they might serve as squad leaders and squadron leaders, some men who believed that they were strong and brave and ruthless asked to enlist in the army one after another.

Under its influence, some friends in the township asked to participate, and in the end, almost none of the more than 60 people who met the criteria for enlistment were willing to back down.

But the quota was only fifty people, and finally it was solved by drawing lots, which was the fairest way in ancient times (it was also very popular in the countryside in the eighties), writing more than sixty lots, grabbing those who went and those who left.

Everyone laughed, especially those who grabbed it, and when they saw the surrounding villagers laughing at their greed for life and fear of death, they repeatedly defended themselves, claiming that they had something to worry about, but this brought greater ridicule.

Ma Mingluan formed these fifty people into four teams, and everyone recommended the team leader, so it took half a day to complete the formation.

After making the register, each person paid five taels of silver in advance, and asked everyone to go home first to pack up, and then rushed to the county seat to meet.

In this way, it took five days for the security team to be formed.

On this day, everyone wore brand new armor (captured, although there were not many), took the replaced weapons, and drove to Dazhou.

Everywhere I passed, I heard the cries of women from time to time.

The battlefield is dangerous, life and death are uncertain, and the most humble wish of the people since ancient times is just to live a peaceful life.

Ma Mingluan was initially worried about affecting the morale of the army, and was trying to send someone to dissuade him.

But when he heard that the barracks had already smashed the pot, the old mother told the child to be safe, the old father told him not to be a bad seed to shame his family, and the squire told him to make a name for himself and win glory for the township, and he was quite relieved in his heart.
