Chapter 102: Organizing Dissidents

When I returned to the back hall, I felt that my whole body was tired, and my whole body seemed to be falling apart, and I was about to rest, when suddenly the voice of the butler came from the front door, followed by a rush of footsteps. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Wang Ying came to the front of the hall, sat down beside her and said, "Master, Ying'er came in a hurry this time for the future of the master." ”

With a smile, Yang Xuan shook his head and said, "Ying'er, you are also teasing, you, you, what future can you give me?" ”

Holding Yang Xuan's big hand, Wang Ying rubbed it and said: "Master, I don't have the surname Wang, when the master asked, the concubine was frightened, and the surname of the concubine was with her mother." ”

Yang Xuan didn't pay attention to what the other party said at all, and asked casually, "Oh, you don't have the surname Wang?" So what's your last name? ”

Pulling her big hand fiercely, Wang Ying said angrily: "The mother's surname is Wang, I, of course my surname is Zhu, the concubine is the only daughter of the King of Shu, Zhu Shuying." ”

Yang Xuan was shocked, retracted his big hand, looked at the people in front of him, looked incredulous, shook his head and said: "You, you said that your surname is Zhu, the only daughter of the King of Shu, then you are the county lord of the King of Shu, this, how is this possible?" ”

In the past, Wang Xie Tangyan flew into the homes of ordinary people, and at the end of the dynasty, many so-called golden branches and jade leaves fell into the homes of the people.

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang took good care of his children and grandchildren, it can be said that he was born with fine clothes and food, and he had no worries about food and clothing, but this also brought disaster to the Zhu royal family, and it can be said that the Zhu royal family was also the most tragic royal family in history.

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong often slaughtered tens of thousands of Zhu royal families, for example, when Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, he sent troops to Guan County, the base camp of the Shu king's clan, and slaughtered nearly 50,000 people.

Among them, of course, there are some Zhu royal family relatives who live among the people, such as the small county lord of the Chu Wangfu, who once wandered to Qinglou in Wanzhou, Sichuan, and finally persecuted to death for a clan relative of the King of Chu.

(It is unknown whether the lord of Shu escaped persecution, and Zhu Shuying, the lord of Shu in this book, was added based on the county lord of Chu).

Zhu Shuying nodded in fear, and explained again and again: "Yang Lang, the concubine didn't mean it, Yang Lang, when he fled, his father asked the concubine to be incognito, and the concubine didn't pay attention to concealing it." ”

Standing up and looking at the panicked people, Yang Xuan sighed: "What reason do I have to blame you for such a sudden change?"

Husband and wife were originally birds in the same forest, and they flew when the disaster came, and we were in turmoil at that time, and I had no ability to protect you at all. ”

With a gentle word, Zhu Shuying was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down, hugged Yang Xuan's thigh, and repeatedly said that she had never doubted the loyalty of the other party, and almost said it a few times, but she was often prevaricated by Yang Xuan.

After thinking about it, Yang Xuan seemed indifferent, helped the other party up, and sighed after sitting down again: "There are too many unbelievable things in the world, and who believes them when they say them?"

As long as we love each other, as long as we don't hurt each other, there is nothing else. ”

Of course, Zhu Shuying didn't hear the meaning of the words, and Yang Xuan couldn't clearly explain the meaning, and he looked nervous, which made people look quite pitiful.

After some enlightenment, Zhu Shuying understood that Yang Xuan did not mean to blame at all, and hoped to restore the identity of the county lord, so Yang Xuan, as the guest of honor of the Shu Wangfu (the general name of the Ming Dynasty's lord of the clan and the husband of the county lord, all called the guest of honor), was naturally elected as the prefect.

Yang Xuan didn't think so, he led his troops to capture the city of Shunqing Mansion, with thousands of soldiers in his hands, and there were no bureaucrats around him to contain him, so it was logical for this prefect to be in charge.

Besides, the Ming Dynasty was quite protective of foreign relatives, and the marriage partners of the county lord and county lord were different from those of the Barbarian Qing Dynasty.

Now Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong is the emperor in Nanjing, and the authority of the imperial court has been slightly established.

In this way, Yang Xuan resolutely opposed Zhu Shuying's disclosure of his identity as the county lord of the Shu Prince's Mansion, although the other party's face was full of tears and tears, but Yang Xuan was unmoved.

In the next two days, the former governor of Shunqing Prefecture, Shi Jinchen, Zhao Sixuan, Tongzhi, and Zou Jianchen, Sichuan Xie Yuan, visited one after another, and talked about all kinds of rights and wrongs in the past, and everyone was full of emotion.

Zou Jianchen was a former classmate, and he had a good relationship in the past, but now he saw that Yang Xuan controlled Shunqing Mansion City, and hoped that he would serve as the magistrate of Nanchong, so he immediately agreed without saying a word.

Shi Jinchen, Zhao Sixuan and others intentionally or unintentionally proposed that the name is justified, and now that the prefect of Shunqing is vacant, it is necessary to recruit local squires to jointly nominate them, so good and justifiable.

Yang Xuan's brows furrowed? Does this still have to be promoted, he has made remarkable achievements in Pengzhou and Dazhou, and there are thousands of soldiers under him, and now he has moved into the prefect's yamen, isn't it still the prefect?

Looking at the backs of the two, Yang Xuan was about to swear, and all the staff members came out one after another, asking Yang Xuan to be cautious.

Yin Chengqi arched his hand and said: "My lord, this Shi Jinchen is the former prefect, Zhao Sixuan is the former prefect, and he was also appointed as the prefect by Zhang Xianzhong.

On the other hand, the adults are sharp, they don't pay attention to the way of officialdom in the past, and they also implement new policies, which is disliked by many official gentry. ”

Pan Mengke arched his hand and said: "My lord, although Shi Jinchen and Zhao Sixuan are outsiders, they have been operating in the local area for many years and have strong connections, so adults must not be careless." ”

Although Yang Xuan was quite unimpressed in his heart, since ancient times, it was difficult for a strong dragon to suppress the head snake, and the ancient officials served as officials in different places, as if they were locals, and the local squires had a lot of contact.

Despite this, Yang Xuan still listened to everyone's opinions, first reorganized the army, and then took office as the prefect.

The giant of struggle in the previous life did not talk about the power coming out of the barrel of the gun, as long as he mastered the barrel of the gun, it was a logical thing to take up the prefect.

Now that almost all the main generals of the Shunqing Army have been replaced, and the old, weak, sick and disabled in the army have all been eliminated.

Now, although the governor of the left army of the Great Western Army was killed, and the governors Zhang Guangcai, Wang Jiye, and Liu Jinzhong were driven away, the strength of the Great Western Army was strong, and now was the time to employ people, how could they cut off their arms and disarm?

Seeing Chen Yingrui's nonsense, Yang Xuan didn't want to refute it at all, every time he heard the other party finish speaking, Nunu's mouth and the staff next to him jumped out one by one, pointing out all kinds of bad deeds of the Shunqing army, so the army didn't say that it went into battle to kill the enemy, that is, the people were not at ease to protect the territory and the people.

Chen Yingrui provoked the generals below to resist, but most of his henchmen could not open the bow and were cleared, relying on the momentum of the past to influence some generals, but the soldiers below did not listen at all.

This reorganization is carried out in full accordance with the conditions for recruits to enlist in the past:

For example, in terms of physical strength, it is required to carry a hundred pounds of heavy objects and walk back and forth for 100 steps.

Run a distance of five miles in a stick of incense.

……

Those who were eliminated had no complaints, not to mention anything else, if their own body really went to the battlefield, they might be completely hung up. Hearing that they were eliminated, some of them were even more happy, good men are not soldiers, good iron is not nailed, how many people are willing to be soldiers if they are not persecuted?

Those who passed the assessment were even more happy, not to mention that the treatment of this loyal army was far above the past.

Let's talk about eating first, the food is full every day, and every five dozen tooth sacrifices, I eat quite well every day.

Speaking of military salaries, the military salary for cadets is 1 tael of silver, and the private's salary is 1 tael and 5 yuan of silver, which is no different from the past, as long as you pass the trial training and assessment in March, you can receive the military salary of the private.

However, on this basis, according to the performance of the soldiers, they are not given different treatment, and all the soldiers are divided into three ranks, namely corporal, sergeant, and sergeant, so as to avoid everyone becoming a soldier, or to give the soldiers more room for development.

The corporal is 2 taels of silver, the sergeant is 1 tael of 5 taels of silver, and the sergeant is 3 taels of silver. (The barbarian Qing Dynasty stipulated that the green battalion soldiers and horses, the horsemen were 2 taels of silver, the infantry was 1 tael of 5 taels of silver, and the guards were 1 tael of silver, in addition, each person was added a bucket of grain).

As long as you make meritorious service on the battlefield, as long as you can become a sergeant, even if an ordinary soldier's salary is three times that of a student soldier and twice that of a private, the temptation is so great that you can imagine.

Speaking of rewards, every time one person is killed or two people are captured on the battlefield, one third-class meritorious service is awarded and promoted to the first level.

In addition, for every person killed, there will be 5 taels of silver, and for 1 captive, there will be 2 taels of silver.

(The reward is much less than that of the Qi army, and the Qi family army killed 1 Japanese robber and rewarded the silver with 30 taels of silver, but now it is only facing rebel forces such as local tyrants and rogue bandits, and its combat power is simply incomparable compared to the Japanese invaders.)

The reward of the Qi family army was cashed out at that time, but the loyal army was different, every time one person was killed, three people were captured, and a third-class meritorious service was established, the monthly salary would be increased, 5 yuan per person, and there were 6 taels of silver a year, even if they were soldiers for three years, they would also increase the reward of 20 taels of silver. )

Finally, the status of the military, in the past, good men were not soldiers, and good iron did not hit nails, but now there are obvious changes, first of all, military families can be exempted from one person Ding Fu.

After being seriously injured and retiring, priority will be given to work, such as going to the local government to work as a government officer after two or three months of training, although now the government service cannot be engaged in large-scale embezzlement or anything, and there is not much money

However, the official has 6 taels of silver alone, and if other bonuses are added, it is 30 taels of silver a year, which is also more than that of a medium-sized family.

…….

All kinds of discounts, everyone has heard of it for a long time, and it has long been rumored in the army that Yang Xuan is an expert in financial management.

Change the tax system of the Ming Dynasty, establish a township office in various places to collect commercial taxes, each place is equivalent to a subtle cornucopia, and the county is a huge cornucopia at the mouth of each field.

These cornucopias, which used to be occupied by ruffians and rogue squires, are now all owned by the government, so as to ensure the supply of military salaries.

Now that I heard that I was incorporated into the Loyal and Righteous Army, the soldiers smiled happily one by one, and everyone pondered that after entering the Loyal and Righteous Army now, there would probably be no more arrears.

In the past few days, in addition to those soldiers who have been incorporated into the Loyal and Righteous Army, there are also some craftsmen who need a large number of craftsmen to build weapons and establish weapons workshops.

In the peaceful and prosperous times, although the salary is not high, but now it is a troubled time, at least I can support my family.

After five days of hard work, only more than 1,200 people remained in the 3,000 Shunqing army, and the rest were unwilling to serve as soldiers, or their training was not up to standard.

After the reorganization was completed, Yang Xuan claimed to be a general, Chen Yingrui, Feng Youqing, and Chen Yingzong served as garrisons, and Yin Chengqi, Chen Huaixi, Ouyang Zhi, Pan Mengke, Huang Xuemao and others were appointed as staff officers in the army.

The standard establishment of an infantry battalion is 500 people, including the battalion headquarters (1 person each of the chief battalion commander, 1 assistant officer, and 1 chief of the guard, 2 staff officers, 1 medical officer, and 4 langzhong, a total of 10 people)

The units directly under the battalion headquarters include: 1 guard squadron (10 people), 1 tiger squat artillery squadron (12 people, 4 guns), cavalry squad (8 cavalry);

and four infantry brigades (4 * 115, Langzhong is unified under the jurisdiction of the battalion headquarters).

The Loyal and Righteous Army was composed of 7 battalions of the infantry army, 1 battalion of cavalry, 1 battalion of the water army, and even the 2nd battalion with the most complete equipment was not yet formed, and after the expansion, the 8 battalions of the infantry army, 1 cavalry battalion, 1 battalion of the water army and 1 ordnance bureau.

In addition to Liu Weiming's 6th Battalion, which is only 3 brigades, the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Battalions are not fully staffed because they do not have enough artillery and war horses, and the Guard Battalion, Chen Yingzong's Guard Battalion, and Feng Youqing's 7th Battalion are all fully staffed.

In each infantry battalion, in addition to the grenadier team set up in each squadron of the escort battalion, one infantry brigade was selected in each battalion to set up a grenadier team to win the battlefield by throwing a sky-shaking thunderbolt equipped with a wooden handle to disrupt the opponent before the close combat.

The cavalry battalion was fully staffed, that is, three cavalry brigades (each brigade of about 60 people), plus horse keepers, for a total of 200 men.

The expansion of the naval barracks, led by Chen Huaixi, took into account the crisscrossing of the Shunqing waterway, with the naval army as the main army food route, including two Flying Tiger battleship brigades, four sampan boat brigades, and four transport brigades.
