This is a hearty victory, of course Yang Xuan knows that it is really a victory for himself to implement the new policy, since this is the case, it is even more necessary to carry it out to the end. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the morning of late August, the local squires and scribes rushed to the yamen hall by appointment.

Seeing that the lobby was full of squires and scribes, Yang Xuan seemed to be complacent, and after beating the drum and ascending to the hall, everyone congratulated the officials and soldiers on the recovery of Xiangru and Yingshan County in one fell swoop, and everyone unanimously elected Yang Xuan as the governor of Pengzhou.

Now that the emperor is far away, Yang Xuan used to act as Yilongzhi County, and now he has recovered the three counties of Pengzhou in one fell swoop.

After that, Yang Xuan appointed Li Shikai, a person from Yilongju, as a fellow acquaintance, and Gao Lingyun, a talented person from Nanchong, as a county magistrate in Xiangru County

Yang Risheng, the former head of the township, was appointed as the magistrate of Yilong County, and Huang Hui, a county talent, was appointed as the county magistrate

Wang Rimeng is the county governor of Yingshan, and Wang Guangxian, the tribute of Yingshan, is the county leader.

Drawing on the lessons and lessons learned in Yilong County, the establishment of a township-level structure in Xiangru County and Yingshan County, which had just been recovered, and the government directly collecting taxes, was to re-clear the land and clear the household registration at the local level after the situation stabilized, so as to consolidate the local finances.

Considering that the remnants of the local tyrants are still entrenched in Bazhou, Dazhou and other areas, Li Zicheng's Dashun army has already occupied Shunqing and Baoning, and Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi army has occupied Chongqing and Chengdu, and now the most important thing is to rebuild local political power and carry out local reforms, that is, to rebuild the army and meet possible challenges in the future.

In order to distinguish it from other armies, in order to encourage the army period, after the expansion, the department was reorganized into the Loyal and Righteous Army (the Ming Dynasty used to name the army with different names, such as Qijia Army, Guanning Iron Cavalry, etc.), in order to dilute the characteristics of the official army.

Yang Xuan called himself a guerrilla general, Pan Mengke was an intelligence staff officer, Ma Mingluan was a logistics staff officer, Du Jigui was a martial arts staff officer, Gou Fugui was the general office of the Ordnance Bureau, and Huang Xuemao was a medical officer.

After the expansion, the Loyal and Righteous Army had 6 battalions (divisions), 1 cavalry battalion (a total of 13 infantry brigades, 2 cavalry brigades), 1 water battalion, a field hospital, and an ordnance station.

The six infantry battalions (divisions) are:

Cao Zhang, deputy commander of the Guards Division (battalion), has two brigades under his jurisdiction (Cao Zhang and Yang Fuquan respectively)

Fan Mingshan, deputy commander of the 1st Battalion, has two brigades under his command, and his headquarters is stationed in Yingshan County.

The 2nd battalion commander Chen Yingzong has 3 brigades under his command, and his headquarters is stationed in Yilong County.

Guo Chonglie, deputy commander of the 3rd Battalion, has 2 brigades under his command

The deputy commander of the 4th Battalion, Yao Zhiframe, has 2 brigades under his command

Yang Bingyi, deputy commander of the 5th Battalion, has 2 brigades under his command

The deputy commander of the cavalry battalion, Ma Chao, has 2 brigades under his jurisdiction.

Deputy General of the Water Battalion: Chen Huaixi, build warships and transport ships to protect the waters under his jurisdiction and transport money and grain.

Huang Xuemao, chief medical officer of the field hospital, including 4 medical officers, 8 Langzhong, and 36 nurses.

The Ordnance Institute has a total of 100 people, mainly responsible for the manufacture of gunpowder and lead bullet, as well as repairing seized firearms.

After the expansion, there are more than 1,600 people in the whole army, which is twice as much as in the past.

Everyone was promoted to more officials, one by one, looking at the people with excited expressions, Yang Xuan asked: "Everyone, this time our army defeated the local tyrants in one fell swoop and recovered the three counties of Pengzhou, which is indeed gratifying."

Ladies and gentlemen, everyone is a highly respected person in this county, let's talk about it, why was our army able to defeat the enemy and defeat the local tyrants this time?"

When everyone heard this, they all shouted congratulations, and bluntly said that Yang Xuan had strategized and killed the enemy and made meritorious contributions, so he defeated the local tyrants.

Yang Xuan shook his head and said with a smile: "No, no, it's not my credit, this victory is really the support of the villagers, and it is the soldiers of the three armies who use their lives."

Ladies and gentlemen, if there is no help from the villagers, if there is no soldiers of the three armies desperately killing the enemy, it will be even more difficult for us to defeat the local tyrants if we want to win more with less. ”

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Yang Xuan clapped his hands, and came in four or five women who were covered in patches, but very clean, Yang Xuan personally served them to sit down, and then asked them to introduce themselves one by one.

In fact, there is no need to introduce themselves, when they walked in, the squires on both sides recognized it, this is the one, that is the one, this is the one, this time the husband died, that this time the son died in battle.

Yang Xuan listened carefully to what they said, and then hugged his fists and said: "Everyone, you seem to have said a few days ago, if it is the one who bullied your village, what will your village do after the warriors in your village sacrifice to protect the village?" ”

Li Shikai secretly screamed badly, so he had to come out and arch his hand: "My lord, the sage taught us to be benevolent, righteous, courteous, wise and faithful, although there have been natural disasters in the past few years, but I am all disciples of Confucius, and the sage teaches not to forget."

If this happens, our village will definitely collect money and food to support them. ”

Hearing that Li Shikai didn't say anything about how to give compensation, Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Li Juren, how do you care for the compensation in your village?"

Also, the other squires, everyone said, if it happened in your village, how would they be compensated? ”

Everyone complained bitterly, but they had to report it according to the truth, and some did not hesitate to raise the standard of bereavement in order to show their benevolence and righteousness.

Combined with everyone's opinions, Yang Xuan ordered that all the people who came to support this time would be exempted from the labor of that year.

If the injury is slight, it shall be exempted from the labor service of the year.

If they are seriously injured, the government will pay for medical treatment, and then they will be exempted from 1-3 years of hard labor.

If it is particularly serious, it will be exempted from Ding Fu for life

Those who died in battle shall be given bereavement benefits in accordance with the bereavement standards of officers and soldiers.

Based on the standard of bereavement for officers and soldiers, it has been greatly increased compared with the past, and the standard for bereavement pension has been raised to 15 taels of silver, and it is clearly stipulated that their parents are still alive and their children are allowed to receive an annual pension of 1 yuan and 2 cents of silver (1 person Ding Fu) and 1 load of grain.

In addition to being shocked, everyone sighed where did the money and food come from?

Some even shook their heads secretly, Yang Xuan implemented benevolent governance on the surface, but he was even more exploitative to the people in his office.

Although each mu of good land is not more than 6 cents of silver (about 10-14 catties of rice), but because after the re-clearing, all the land hidden by the landlord in the past has been exposed, and the land area has increased by more than 4 percent, Guangyi Long County has more than 30,000 quintals of grain every year, Ding Fu more than 4,800 taels of silver, and Shang Fu more than 8,000 taels of silver.

The government has levied so much that I couldn't believe it in the past.

Among them, everyone sighed the most is the business endowment, which used to be only a few hundred taels a year, but since the establishment of the township office, the official sent the township chief and the official to the local administration, the amount of the commercial endowment is several times that of the past.

In addition, due to the establishment of the township office, the power of the yamen was also simply reorganized.

The right to collect taxes and some of the power of judicial mediation are now delegated to the township offices, while the county yamen is mainly focused on supervision and the operation of other powers.

Now in every market, in every village, large and small slogans, taxes are clearly explained, and it is not easy to fool the people below as in the past.

If the officials of the township office continue to behave like the white servants in the past, they will be severely punished immediately.

In order to better coordinate the ministries, Yang Xuan moved the government office to Xiangru County, the prefecture and city administration office, and supervised the implementation of the new policy in various places on the other hand.

After more than half a year of operation, the new policy model has gradually matured, that is, the release of prisoners in prisons, the punishment of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the establishment of township offices, the settlement of displaced people, the clearing of land, the cleaning of household registration, and other work.

In addition to the situation in central Sichuan, in late August, Yang Xuan led his troops back to northern Sichuan, first ambushed more than 100 Mongolian cavalry on the middle of the road, and then defeated the local tyrants, after recovering the three counties of Pengzhou, the surrounding situation was not slightly relieved because of the temporary victory of the official army, and in some cases became more severe.

After hearing that a handful of remnants of the officers and troops had returned to Pengzhou and had been defeated overnight, the thirteen families of Yao and Huang had recovered the three counties of Pengzhou, Ma Ke, the Sichuan general of the Dashun Army who had just occupied Baoning and Shunqing Mansion, was quite shocked and sent troops to attack the officers and troops.

The enemy is outnumbered, the difference in strength is huge, coupled with the fact that the three counties of Pengzhou have just been recovered, the place is unstable, everyone is worried, and the county border is even more shocked, so before and after half a month, news came from the border, in order to fight for control of Sichuan, the Dashun Army and the Western Army forwards in Mianzhou caught fire, in order to defeat Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army, Dashun Sichuan General Ma Ke had no time to take care of the official army.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, just as Yang Xuan pondered in his heart, this time the march into the lone army in northern Sichuan was completely a big gamble, and the bet was that the Great Western Army and the Dashun Army would catch fire.
