In Fujian Province, the Zheng family has nearly 200,000 troops, while Wang Yan is in charge of Guangdong, and the soldiers and horses brought into Guangdong are less than 20,000, and the imperial court has given him a quota of 30,000, which he has not yet made up.

Although there are still some guards and some recruits in Guangdong, the combat power of these soldiers and horses is not as good as that of bandits, Wang Yan naturally looks down on these soldiers and horses, otherwise he would not have driven Chen Bangfu and other four soldiers and horses to Guilin.

is also the head town, Wang Yan and Zheng Zhilong are not worthy of the name, and the gap is far away.

Since Wuzhou returned to Guangzhou, all of Wang Yan's government affairs centers have been the word "army expansion".

Kuang Lu in the army, although he didn't like to deal with martial artists, but after Wang Yan asked him for the post of head of the military department, coupled with his ethics as a soldier, he was very dedicated and strict when teaching lieutenants at all levels.

Wang Yan decided to make a decision in the army, but the problem of the source of soldiers made him very distressed, the original army of the guard could not be used, and the newly recruited soldiers and horses needed a lot of money.

The annual tax in Guangdong is only about one million taels, except for the tax silver consumed by the government and the imperial court, there is not much money left, and it is very good to be able to raise 30,000 horses.

Now the trade between Guangdong and the sea, because of the Zheng sabotage and helpless, the maritime merchants do not believe in the strength of the Guangdong naval division, go to sea without reporting to the city, but pay taxes to the Zheng family, planting the Zheng family's yellow flag, so that the Guangdong sea tax is all owned by Fujian.

Before the Guangdong naval division was trained, it was impossible to go to sea to ban smuggling, and force the maritime merchants to return to the city to pay taxes, so Wang Yan would not be able to enjoy the benefits of overseas trade for a long time.

Wang Yan wants to expand his army, 30,000 horses are naturally not enough, at least 100,000 troops, in order to be able to hold Guangdong and go north to Hunan in the near future.

But to expand the army, he needed silver, but he only had 3.5 million taels of silver that the Zheng family had robbed.

This seems to be a huge amount of money, but when Wang Yan first arrived in Guangdong, he had too many things to do, three million and a half million taels of silver, which was not enough to spend.

Now it is October, the agricultural time has passed, and the 300,000 people in Yangzhou can only achieve self-sufficiency until at least in the summer and autumn of next year, and during this time, the cost of grain, grass, materials, tools, etc., is at least one million taels of silver, and Wang Yan spent another 100,000 taels of silver to reward the whole army in Wuzhou, and this year he still needs to think about the imperial court to release one million taels, and the remaining silver taels are only about 1.4 million taels.

Of these 1.4 million taels, it is necessary to purchase artillery for the naval division, purchase grain and grass equipment for the army, pay the soldiers, and leave a batch of silver salaries for the north, Huguang, which is basically already overstretched.

Wang Yan wants to recruit 100,000 soldiers, obviously not enough to win money to support.

After Wang Yan watched the dispute between the Turks and the guests last night, he suddenly had a little more idea in his heart, and he hurriedly discussed with the staff overnight, and gradually got along with a countermeasure.

In the early morning of the same day, Wang Yan invited his subordinates to come to his camp to mediate the conflict and resolve the crisis.

After a short time, the four old men elected by the villagers of Guangnan came to Wang Yan's camp, but the Hakka people did not arrive for a long time, so Wang Yansui had to talk with the four villagers first, so as to understand more about the thoughts of the people of Guangnan.

Wang Yan didn't need to ask more, the people of Guangnan had already put their thoughts and ideas, "The fields are left, and the Hakka people must leave Zhaoqing and Guangfu and return to the land of eastern Guangdong." ”

For such a request, Wang Yan had long expected that in the final analysis, the dispute between local customers and customers was still a competition for resources.

At this time, the captain who was sent to the mountain to pass the order came in to report and said: "The Hakka people dare not go down the mountain, they must be guaranteed, and only a few juniors have been sent to come." ”

When Wang Yan heard this, he couldn't help frowning slightly, but he also understood the concerns of the Hakka people.

In the previous disputes between the Turks and the Hakkas, the government will more or less favor the Guangnan people who are more and more powerful, otherwise the Hakka people will not have a plain and do not stay, but run to the mountains to build a strong village, just because they were bullied very much, so they used it to protect themselves.

Wang Yan understands the Hakka people's distrust of the government, this is not something that can be changed overnight, but a few juniors obviously can't be the masters of the Hakka people, so Wang Yan didn't even see him, so he got up and told the four Guangnan villagers to let them wait for a while, and decided to go to the mountain in person.

Wang Yan and his entourage only brought two guards, plus Chen Bangyan and Li Suiqiu, one of them was Wang Yan's think tank, and the other was the money bag in charge of logistics, so Wang Yan would take them with him almost everything.

The mountains in the land of Quang Nam are not very high, strictly speaking, they can only be regarded as hills, Wang Yan and others came to the foot of the mountain, walked up, and the more they walked, the more frightened they became.

Last night, the stars were dim, Wang Yan couldn't see it really, but now he had a panoramic view of the earthen village on the mountain, only it was more than three feet high, with a circumference of about one mile, occupying the entire mountain, and in addition to a few ventilation and lookout holes on the outer wall, there were almost no windows, just like a fortress, and such a earthen village, on the nearby mountain, there were four more.

"The Hakka people in western Guangdong have not long moved here, and this kind of soil plug can only be regarded as very simple." Chen Bangyan saw the shock on Wang Yan's face, and said while climbing the mountain: "Yu has traveled in northern Fujian and southern Jiangxi, and the Hakka village there is stronger than the one in front of him. ”

When Wang Yan heard this, he couldn't help but secretly speak, "It seems that the countermeasures we discussed last night were not wrong. Whether it is the Guangnan people or the Hakka people, they are all good soldiers for the expansion of the army. Originally, the governor was worried that there would not be enough money, so he only planned to recruit 10,000 troops, but now he decided that he must make use of these two forces. ”

"Guogong~" When Li Suiqiu heard this, he couldn't help but stop and said: "Now that the maritime trade is monopolized by the Zheng family, I have not made any profit in Guangdong, and the finances are all supported by the fields and endowments, raising 30,000 soldiers, thinking that it is the limit, if I make more moves, I am afraid that there will be no money to pay, and it will affect the combat strength of the old soldiers." ”

"Meizhou doesn't have to worry!" Wang Yan simply stopped, "This governor suddenly thought of a strategy, it doesn't cost money and food, and it can raise 100,000 soldiers!" ”

"Isn't the Duke of the Kingdom going to organize the people of the Tuke into a guard?" Li Suiqiu frowned when he heard this: "The system of the national court guard has long been corrupted, and the imperial court has not added a new guard, and the people have no good impression of the guard. In these extraordinary times, please also ask the public to be prudent and not to act hastily. ”

Without spending money to raise soldiers, Li Suiqiu naturally thought of the Wei system created by Taizu, but it turned out that the Wei system was a failure. Wang Yan naturally knew this, so he shook his head and explained: "Meizhou misunderstood. The Governor did not want to train the new guards, but to train the government soldiers. ”

When Chen Bangyan heard this, he couldn't help but say: "The prince wants to use the military system of the Northern and Southern Dynasties? ”
