Chapter 251: Mercenaries Armed to the Teeth (Page 1/1)
This is a signal, King Fu, as a Zongren Ling, is the uncle of the current emperor, and he has been punished so badly, the other palaces are very acquainted, and immediately responded, taking the initiative to report the situation of their own slaves, asking Jinyi Wei to check, and changing the servants' cheap status to good status.
The palace has moved, and the big families with slaves in the people have to move, and there are generally two plans for the treatment of slaves: one is to dismiss all the slaves, and then there will be Jinyiwei with people from the Ministry of Agriculture to come and immigrate the whole family. The second is that the slave still serves in the original family, but must establish a good name from the original family, at least legally, becoming no longer a slave.
The slaves themselves choose one of the two options, and which one to choose is actually mainly related to the attitude of the master of the house towards the slaves. On weekdays, if the master of the house is mean, the natural slave will choose the first option, while the master of the house will mostly choose the second option.
When the household registration of the slaves is changed to a good registration, it is a felony to beat or even kill the slaves, and the rules that can be replaced by fines are no longer useful, and the court can accept the complaint.
In the past, children were also prohibited, including being a servant who accompanied the young master since childhood, and the maid who accompanied the young lady must also pay a salary. It may not be possible to only be responsible for eating and dressing as before, so that there may not be much money every month, and even less than the actual benefits of eating and dressing in the original, but the gradual formation of this concept of equality is exactly the result that Zhu Youxiao wants. Obviously, the concept of equality for all people can not be formed in the minds of the people of the Ming Dynasty in a short period of time, but step by step, this point can always be reached in the end.
This time, more than 40,000 hectares of land in the palace of the kings were confiscated to punish their eunuchs. The fields of the royal palace were well watered in the local area, so that the Ministry of Agriculture had a large part of the land for immigrants or to establish farms.
More than 700 castrations were fined more than 40,000 hectares of land, which is equivalent to castrating one person to confiscate 6,000 acres of land, which is already an extremely serious punishment, and I believe that in the future, the palace will not dare to castrate volunteers on a large scale to enrich the ranks of internal officials.
Zhu Youxiao believes that a great country cannot be established by a group of slaves, whether physical or psychological. That's why he tried his best to change the spirit of the Ming people, and of course, he couldn't allow Han slaves to exist in the Ming Dynasty.
Lin Dan Khan traded the Han Chinese and the cultivated land near the Great Wall for pastures occupied by the Guards, but the Ming army did not return within twenty miles along the railway. Because of the loss of a large number of cattle and sheep in the war with the Ming army, Lin Dan Khan needed a lot of food, so he had to let the Mongols go to work on the railway construction site in exchange for food.
At this time, Lu Xiangsheng came to Chahar with Wei Junru's mercenaries. Looking at the neat but still neat team in civilian clothes, such as Lin's fire gun bayonet, Lin Dan Khan was reluctant to take his eyes off.
Lu Xiangsheng coughed, and Lin Danhan reacted. Lu Xiangsheng pointed at Wei Junru and said: "This is the brigade commander of the mercenary, General Wei, according to what we said first, the name of the mercenary is designated by the Great Khan, and all the commands are in charge of General Wei, and all supplies except ammunition are in charge of the Great Khan, including salaries and combat captures." ”
Wei Junru stepped forward and waved at Lin Dan Khan and said, "Please take care of the Great Khan." ”
Lin Danhan laughed and said, "Good, good, good." I hope you will have a good time working together in the future. As for the name, how about Ben Khan think it should be called the Jebel Guard? ”
Jebe means arrow in Mongolian, and it is also the name of Genghis Khan's subordinate archers, and Lu Xiangsheng laughed: "The naming right is all in the Great Khan." ”
Lin Dan Khan said: "Is the salary of the Jebel Guards paid directly to them?" ”
Lu Xiangsheng said: "No. Their salary was sent directly to my Counselor Li, and they would open an account for each person in the Daming Royal Bank, and then transfer the money to the account. If the Great Khan has some seizures that are difficult to realize, you can also contact him, and he will help the Great Khan find a buyer in the Ming Dynasty. ”
Wei Junru said: "Bachelor, some of the basic equipment we need has been purchased from the Ordnance Bureau, and the payment for the goods will be deducted from our seizure, so we must ask the Bachelor to pay in advance." But the cigarettes that the soldiers needed needed had to be brought with the ammunition. ”
Lu Xiangsheng smiled: "No problem, I'll pay for this." I'll bring the cigarettes along with the ammunition as military supplies, and you'll take a look at what you need, and I'll negotiate with the Ordnance Bureau. ”
Wei Junru said with a smile: "Our army is already armed to the teeth, and there is no need for other equipment. As for winter clothing, it is naturally better and warmer here for the Great Khan. ”
Lin Danhan said with a smile: "This is true, our Mongolian sheepskin robe is indeed the warmest, and it will be changed for everyone in autumn." ”
The mercenaries, now called the Jebe Guards, each soldier had three sets of cotton clothes, a hooded raincoat, a pair of medium-sized rain boots, a front and rear heart goggles (thin steel plates), a steel helmet, a marching backpack, a soap, three towels, a steel lunch box, a steel kettle, ten boxes of matches, a box of candles, and one cigarette (two hundred). A steel sapper shovel, a ten-step rope, a first-aid kit, a bandage, a tourniquet, five packs of marching loose and five packs of hemostatic medicine.
In addition to the firecracker, there is also a base ammunition base (fifty rounds), a strip, a wiping cloth, a butt, a pair of cotton gloves, a goggles, and two masks. A bag of dry food for the marching army (five catties), a simple sleeping bag, and a compass.
Such equipment allows soldiers to last at least five days if they are left behind, and they are able to cope with the dangers they may encounter. Of course, you may not be able to last a day in severe cold weather.
Lin Dan Khan has already made up his mind, and the first target to send troops is the three Khans of Mobei. Wei Junru asked for the Jebel Guards to adapt to the environment on the steppe first, and proposed that there should be a month dedicated to training the equestrian skills of the Jebel Guards, and Lin Dan Khan agreed, and let the Mongol knights take the Jebel Guards to practice on the steppe every day. These people used to ride horses in the Guards, but at that time they were just for transportation, and their riding skills were not very good, and now they will naturally make great progress by learning from the Mongols.
Wei Junru supervised the training of his subordinates every day, recorded the daily situation in paperwork, and helped the soldiers write letters to understand their psychological conditions, and the medical officer sent people to send letters back asking for more cold medicine, while the missionaries wandered around the camps, preaching the gospel of the Lord to the soldiers, everyone was busy with their own business, and the whole barracks were full of vitality.
