The guard system of the Ming Dynasty was created by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the original intention was that the soldiers guarded the frontier while tuntian. There are about 5,600 people in a bathroom, and there are 5,000 households with 1,200 people in each 1,000 households. This is the basic unit of the guard.

Of course, this tuntian system made a great contribution to the stability of the Ming Dynasty in the early period of the dynasty. Each Wei Ding divides 15 acres of land, and every year the whole country can produce 300 million catties of grain, and one million troops do not need to be fed by the imperial court.

This system made a great contribution to the stability of the early Ming Dynasty. But as we all know, a system that remains unchanged for a long time can lead to the formation of huge interest groups.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, there were drawbacks in the Wei system, and officials at all levels encroached on the farmland of the Wei Institute. A large number of Wei Ding became tenants of the commanding envoys, and even inferior to the tenants. If the tenants can't do it, they can still go to escape the famine, but Wei Ding is not allowed to flee because he belongs to a semi-military organization.

Later, the Wei system became the two major tumors of the Ming Dynasty like the clan. Even Zhang Juzheng didn't dare to touch these two tumors.

Now Nanhaiwei, twenty miles outside Dongguan City, is like this. Nanhai Wei was established in the eighteenth year of Hongwu, when there were 6,000 Wei Ding and 72,000 acres of land, which was completely self-sufficient.

After more than 200 years of erosion by officers at all levels, Nanhaiwei now has only 1,000 acres of land and a population of more than 5,000 people. 1,200 soldiers. Most people can't keep enough to eat, so they have to go to the Pearl River estuary to catch some fish to make ends meet.

But in stark contrast is the commander Yang Tong, the ancestor of this guy was a hero who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world, and after his death, he was named the commander of the South China Sea Guard, hereditary. Yang Tong is the commander of this generation.

More than 200 years of peaceful life have completely degraded the Yang family into waste, and the martial arts left by the ancestors have been completely forgotten, but they have learned the elegance of the vassals.

Yang Tong knew that he was a military household, and he always wanted to clear his name. But the scholars didn't look down on these Qiu Ba at all. At this time, Zhang Quanli, an outsider, came to Dongguan, and it happened that Wang Ba saw the mung bean in the right eye.

Zhang Quanli needs Yang Tong's local influence to gain a firm foothold, and Yang Tong needs Zhang Quanli to raise his prestige as a person. So the two settled on their children's families through matchmakers.

Zhang Quanli's eldest daughter married Yang Tong's sister-in-law, Yang Bin.

The news of the capture of Zhangjiazhuang reached Nanhaiwei the next day. Yang Tong didn't want to care about Zhang Quanli's affairs, after all, Zhu Hongsan was a relative of the new county order. I know what my identity is, and I can only be the one who is uncomfortable with the magistrate.

When those scholars collected their own money, they were not soft, but if they really wanted to conflict with the scholars, they would stand on the side of the scholars, and Yang Tong had suffered this before. So this time, no matter whether his son came to find him or his daughter-in-law's crying, Yang Tong didn't pay attention.

Instead, Yang Tong asked people to visit the new county magistrate with a heavy gift, explaining that he would not take care of the Zhang family's affairs.

When the letter arrived in Feng's own hand, he looked at it. A while ago, Zhu Hongsan killed Zhang Quanli, and Feng Ziyong was a little unhappy. Because Zhang Quanli is not sensible and is also a scholar, but Feng Ziyong didn't say anything. After all, he is now Zhu Hongsan's subordinate.

Feng Ziyong was very happy to see Nanhai Wei Yang Tong's letter, and now he finally didn't have to worry about it. Because of Zhang Quanli's death, the attitude of the county officials towards Feng Ziyong has changed greatly, and they are respectful and respectful one by one.

It made Feng Ziyong feel like he was leading someone to destroy the Zhang family. At the same time, I am also worried about whether Zhang Quanli's in-law Yang Tong will retaliate, after all, Yang Tong's subordinates are also armed.

Feng Ziyong asked the new team leader Li Fugui to take the letter and send it to Zhu Hongsan. Let him reconcile with Yang Tong.

Zhu Hongsan was happy after reading the letter sent by Li Fugui, not because he was happy to reconcile with Yang Tong, but because he was happy that his problem could be solved.

The biggest problem facing Zhu Hongsan now is the population issue. Guangdong does not have as many displaced people as Huguang, and although the local life is very hard, it can still be maintained, and no one comes out to work at all.

Tong Yangjia went to Guangdong Fucheng to recruit people, and only then did he get more than 1,000 people. In the past few days, Zhu Hongsan has been worrying about this matter every day, this place is still Zhu Hongsan's base camp in the future, and there are some ruthless methods that cannot be used.

After receiving Feng Ziyong's letter, Zhu Hongsan was happy that he had forgotten that there was a Nanhaiwei on the side? It's a big town, and I heard there are five or six thousand people.

Zhu Hongsan thought for a while and said to Li Fugui: "Lao Li went back and told Mr. Feng that I know." ”

Li Fugui went back to his life and didn't mention it.

Seeing Li Fugui leaving, Zhu Hongsan called Wang Jinbao and said to him: "Xiaobao, you go and take a few people to reconnoiter Nanhaiwei, our next target is Nanhaiwei." ”

Wang Xiaobao nodded.

Two days later, Wang Xiaobao came back, saw Zhu Hongsan and said: "Sir, Nanhaiwei is not like a guard house at all, and it is stronger than the homeless shack. It is a big town, surrounded by a two-meter-high earthen wall, and the gate is still made of boards. I think you can kick it down if you use someone to kick it. ”

Zhu Hongsan asked, "What about the other situations?" ”

"There are about 5,000 people in Nanhaiwei, more than 1,000 soldiers, most of whom are unarmed. Only the 100 personal soldiers of the commander were better equipped, and the others were about the same as the peasants. ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "Okay, you have a night's rest tonight, and tomorrow you will lead us to Pingnanhaiwei." ”

The next day, Zhu Hongsan took the first battalion and the second battalion to Nanhaiwei. The third battalion wants to stay and watch the family, and the 4563rd battalion is helping Ma Jiyuan build a house. There's really no one left.

When he came to Nanhaiwei at noon, Zhu Hongsan saw a big flag hanging at the door from a distance, which said Nanhaiwei. When the wind blows, it makes a roaring sound, which is very imposing.

But when I saw it below, there were a few soldiers basking in the sun sitting at the door, all wearing mandarin duck robes of unknown eras. The red robe was dirty and couldn't be seen in its true colors.

Zhu Hongsan thought: "It's no wonder that such a soldier is so frightened to open the city gate when he sees the fake pigtail soldiers of the fourth surnamed slave Li Chengdong, there is really no reason for the Ming Dynasty to not die." ”

Zhu Hongsan said to Zhao Liangdong: "Zhao Si, it's up to you this time." Qian Yong will press you down, remember to kill less, we are here to rob people now. ”

Zhao Liangdong nodded and led the team straight to the gate.

Before the group of soldiers called Hanako could react, the ten cavalry in the lead had already rushed into the gate. After capturing the gate, wait for the rear infantry to enter.

The process is simple and there is basically no resistance. I can't eat enough to have the strength to fight. There was a little resistance when attacking Yang Tong's hometown, mainly caused by Yang Tong's own soldiers, and after Zhao Liangdong captured Yang Tong, these personal soldiers also put down their weapons.

Zhu Hongsan led the follow-up team into the walled city, which seemed to be similar to what Wang Jinbao said, most of the people were unclothed. There were many women who were undressed, and when they saw the living, they hurriedly hid in the house.

It's different when you enter Yang Tong's house, the carved railings and painted columns have a bit of Jiangnan courtyard.

Zhu Hongsan couldn't understand these things, and he came here this time for the population and silver. went in and interrogated Yang Tong first.

Yang Tong asked tremblingly, "King, where are you making a fortune?" ”

Zhu Hongsan scolded: "The king of fart, the master is the Huguang clan, Zhu Hongsan, the lieutenant of Fengguo, came to your Guangdong to avoid the rogue." ”

Yang Tong scolded in his heart: "Damn, it turned out to be a poor lieutenant of Fengguo." "But this one in front of me doesn't look exhaustive.

Yang Tong asked, "Why did the lieutenant attack my Nanhai Wei?" ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "What is your Nanhai Wei? This Nanhaiwei is our Zhu family. Now that the master has to do business, there is no manpower, so I will be requisitioned to work for me. ”

Yang Tong asked, "Do you have an approval from the Ministry of War?" ”

"Nope."

"Can there be a Taiwanese master's writing?"

"Nope."

Yang Tong replied: "That's not good, I really can't help it." ”

Zhu Hongsan nodded and said, "Since the commander said that he can't help, I won't force you." Why are you left for nothing? Big brother, kill their whole family. ”

Zhu Hongyi promised to make a move as soon as he drew the knife, and Yang Tong hurriedly said: "Slow down, hundreds of people can still be the master." ”

Zhu Hongsan replied: "I want all of you, including you." Your whole family packed up and moved to my Zhuangzi with all five thousand households, don't blame the master for being ruthless if you are disobedient. After speaking, Yang Tong, who ignored the wailing, organized people to move.

Why did Zhu Hongsan keep Yang Tong's life? Because Nanhaiwei is not an ordinary place, this is registered on the military department. Although the Ming Dynasty is in great decay, the skeleton has not yet arrived. At present, it is not possible to eliminate Nanhaiwei, and there will be no such thing as chaos in the world in the future, Zhu Hongsan can do whatever he wants, saying that the emperor estimates that Ma Mingyuan will be the first to support it.

It took three days to get all the more than 5,000 people of Nanhaiwei to the farm. As soon as these 5,000 people joined, the population gap was greatly alleviated, and various infrastructure construction was launched one after another.

Yang Tong's family was arranged to live in a farm, guarded by a special person, and was not allowed to enter or leave if there was nothing to do. Zhu Hongsan also asked his concubine Zhang to comfort Yang Tong, saying that he would not kill them and reassure them.

More than half a month later, the house was built, everyone moved into the new house, and finally there was no need to live in tents. At this time, Qian Wanli also returned.
