Chapter 107: Public Recommendation of the Prefect?
When he returned to the prefect's yamen, he was about to go to the inner hall to rest, but Yin Chengqi followed step by step, and he had no intention of leaving at all.
Yang Lin felt strange, stopped and asked, "Brother Yin, everyone is very tired after a busy day of work today, now that the big thing is decided, can you go down and rest first?" ”
Yin Chengqi arched his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Ruzhen, do you think the big thing is decided now?" ”
Staring at each other, Yang Lin looked quite puzzled, bent his head and asked: "Brother Yin, now that the volunteers have entered the city, and now the whole city is on alert, although there are two or three disgruntled people in the city, but probably the mantis arm is blocking the car, right?" ”
Shaking his head, Yin Chengqi glared and asked, "If everyone pushes Shi Jinchen Shi to go out of the mountain, how will the adults deal with it?"
Shi Jinchen Jinshi and the first, in Shunqing Mansion for several years, in the folk quite a reputation reputation.
And although the adults have remarkable political achievements, they are still young after all, and some people are quite confused, so they will inevitably be ruined at that time. ”
Yang Lin thought about it for a while, and was quite unconvinced, he led his troops to capture the city of Shunqing Mansion, with thousands of male soldiers in his hands, and there were no bureaucrats around him to contain him, so it was logical for this prefect to be in order.
In the next few days, Yang Lin regarded himself as the prefect, and the former prefect of Shunqing Prefecture, Shi Jinchen, the same governor Zhao Sixuan, and Sichuan Xie Yuan Zou Jianchen visited one after another, talking 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 Lin controlled Shunqing Mansion City, and hoped that he would serve as the governor of Nanchong, so he agreed immediately 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 Lin frowned? 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 Lin was about to swear, and all the staff members came out one after another, asking Yang Lin to be cautious.
Yin Chengqi arched his hand and said: "My lord, Lord Shi Jinchen Shi is the former prefect, and he was also appointed as the prefect by Zhang Xianzhong, although they are all foreigners, but after all, they have been officials for many years, and they are quite good with many official gentry.
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. ”
Ouyang Zhi arched his hand and said: "My lord, although Shi Jinchen is a foreigner, he has been operating in the local area for many years and has strong connections, so adults must not be careless." ”
Although Yang Lin 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 many contacts.
Despite this, Yang Lin 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 Ma Yuanli, the governor of the left army of the Great Western Army, and drove away the governors Zhang Guangcai, Wang Jiye, and Liu Jinzhong, the strength of the Great Western Army is strong, and now is the time to employ people, how can it cut off its own arm, how can it be disarmed?
Seeing Chen Yingrui's nonsense, Yang Lin didn't want to refute 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 doesn't say that it goes into battle to kill the enemy, but the people are 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 volunteer 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 volunteers were different, every time they killed a person, captured three people, and made a third-class meritorious service, they would increase the monthly salary, 5 yuan per person, and 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 Lin 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 Volunteer Army, the soldiers smiled happily one by one, and everyone pondered that after entering the Volunteer 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 Volunteer 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 Lin claimed to be a staff general, Chen Yingrui, Feng Youqing, and Liao Qifang served as garrisons, and Yin Chengqi, Chen Huaixi, Ouyang Zhi, Luo 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 Volunteer Army was divided from 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 Jing Keqin'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 Escort Battalion, Liao Qifang's Escort 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.
On the second day after the completion of the army, Yang Lin convened the official gentry meeting in the lobby of Shunqing Mansion.
The feudal dynasty implemented a small government and a big society, and the local gentry were very powerful, and there was a situation in which officials, officials, and squires ruled together.
Yang Lin sat on the head, and the officials and gentry in the city entered one by one, and after everyone met, they sat down on both sides.
Just as some people in the previous life criticized the existence of a hypocritical culture in the Kuomintang, they obviously wanted it, but they still had to get the support of the people, and in the end, they had to reluctantly take on the big responsibility for the sake of the people.
The same is true of Yang Lin, who is full of self-confidence, after everyone sat down, he just sat at the front of the left side of the hall, instead of sitting directly on the throne of the prefect, and said to everyone: "Everyone, in the past few years, we have made the Yaohuang Rebellion in northern Sichuan, captured the prefectures and counties, and plundered the townships, and the people have suffered unspeakably.
In the year of Jiashen (1644 AD), the Son of Heaven was martyred, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, and more than 100 prefectures and counties in Sichuan fell one after another.
Although the former prefect Shi Jinchen Shi was born as a jinshi and has been an official for many years, he has no power to tie the chicken, and he has no ability to lead troops to fight.
Lin Yijie scholar, cast pen from Rong, into the army, nine times of big battles, hundreds of small battles, and now the recovery of Shunqing Mansion.
Nowadays, although the Son of Heaven is far away in Jinling, the road is blocked, and Lin Cai is shallow in learning, I would like to invite all the seniors in the township to discuss major matters, and hope that everyone will eliminate the view of the door and jointly protect the safety of the military and the people of Shunqing. ”
When everyone heard this, their reaction was quite enthusiastic, and many people praised the volunteers for their strict military discipline and the fact that they did not commit any offences with the people.
Yang Lin was proud, his face was happy, and he glanced at Yin Chengqi next to him.
Yin Chengqi came out of the list and arched his hand: "The adult is a handsome man in the township, although he is calculated to be young and young, he can also be promoted, and his talent is no worse than those Jinshi on the second and third lists of the gold list."
The great humanities and military all-rounders, since the army has made many meritorious contributions, since the acting Pengzhou governor, the implementation of the new policy, the elimination of more than 100 years of malpractice, its governance of the political harmony, respected by the people.
As the saying goes, people don't go without heads, birds don't fly without heads, and we should recommend adults as the prefect of Shunqing to expel the rogues and return the people of Li to a bright future. ”
This was the first to be agreed, proposed by Yin Chengqi, and then under the recommendation of everyone, Yang Lin took the opportunity to take the position of the prefect of Shunqing.
Now Yin Chengqi proposed that many people claimed that it was, and asked Yang Lin to act as the Qing prefect.
