Staff officer Ma Mingluan led a brigade to Dazu County, next to Dazhou, and with the assistance of the magistrate, gathered the security brigades of various townships to discuss matters.

After checking the household registration, there were 100,000 people in Dazu County, instead of the 40,000 people registered in the household registration, as mentioned earlier, although the household registration management was very strict during the Hongwu period, and the household registration and land were registered in the fish scale book, but since then, the household registration and land management have never really been implemented.

There is a spectacle in this way, the number of people in the Ming Dynasty has never increased in more than 270 years, and the national household registration is still the household registration in the early years of Hongwu just from the ruins of the war.

After the recovery of various prefectures and counties in Shunqing, in order to put an end to the malpractice of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, the household registration department moved from the past household house to Zhuangban, and re-registered the household registration through the household registration book and ID card, gradually changing the phenomenon of a large number of black household registration.

Although in troubled times, the population has grown exponentially, and the population of Dazu has changed from 20,000 to 100,000, and there are more than 20,000 registered adult males.

According to the population density, Dazu is divided into eight townships (at this time, there are few people, and the area of the township is very large, which is equivalent to six or seven townships in the previous life as a township), according to the scale of one strong man for each person, ten strong men for each village, and more than 100 strong men for each township, and the security brigade was formed in each township two months ago.

Ten days ago, three graduates of the officer training camp were sent in, and they went deep into the townships and villages to bring those militia regiments for training at night.

After Ma Mingluan came to Dazu County, he first found these three students to understand the situation, assigned tasks, and then took the student Zhang Daniu to Wangjiachang together.

The head of the township had already been informed, and hurriedly ordered the officials to beat gongs and drums to let the strong men of each village gather, so it took half a day's effort, more than 150 croppers were assembled, and some of them came to the door of the township office with steel drills, axes in their hands, or machetes or something, with different colors of clothing and different equipment.

After ten days of training, although the queue is not too neat, it is not too chaotic.

After the whole training was completed, Ma Mingluan turned over and dismounted, and after inspecting everyone one by one, he came to the front of the queue again, and immediately let those over 30 years old out of the ranks;

Let the brothers be in the ranks;

Let the physically inferior be out of the ranks;

Let the parents live but only the only child is out of the ranks;

Let those who have wives and children and children still young be listed.

Although everyone felt strange, the villagers in many towns were familiar with each other, and they didn't dare to make jokes in public, and they didn't dare to make too many mistakes, so they acted according to the rules.

Some of the people who came out of the queue were smiling and beaming, and finally escaped this catastrophe.

But there are also a few practitioners who feel that they will go into battle to kill the enemy, and they seem to be unwilling.

Not to mention anything else, the local prefect values heroes and heroes, if he has made great achievements on the battlefield, although he can't be crowned a wife and a son, he can also find an errand in the local area, and say goodbye to the hard days with his face facing the yellow mud and his back to the sky.

In this way, it took a stick of incense to work, and there were only more than eighty or ninety people left, although the number was much smaller, but it looked more vigorous and vigorous than in the past.

Looking at the childish faces, Ma Mingluan began to speak, talking about the murder and arson of the local tyrants, the wealth and the death, and now they are plundering the people of Dazhou and Pengzhou together with the Great West Liukou.

If the local thugs rob the people of Dazhou and Pengzhou, the refugees will become begging and will go to Guang'an Prefecture to beg.

Talking about this mission, it is to go to Dazhou to reinforce the local people, protect everyone's wives and children, and protect everyone's property.

In the past few years, the atrocities of local thugs have already spread, they wear masks when they commit crimes, kill people and goods, and some of the surrounding villages have been poisoned.

Although the Great Western Army was still strictly disciplined, at the beginning of the year, it was necessary to drive the scholars in the township to the CD, and to drive the large families to the CD, which also made everyone quite annoyed.

Now I hear that the local thugs are looting Dazhou, if they don't stop it, they are likely to loot their hometowns, which makes many people unbearable, and some even shout and curse.

But some people also raised objections, when the security corps was formed that day, the official documents were not clear, everyone was just protecting the territory and the people in their own county, and now they want to go to other states and counties, which is against everyone's promise, right?

Besides, everyone is a good peasant man, although it is hard at home, it is better than going to the battlefield to die.

When some thieves heard that they were going to go to war, they were not afraid of losing face and losing a bad reputation, so they questioned it nervously.

Ma Mingluan smiled and asked with a smile: "Mao Dog Baby, how did your grandfather die?" ”

When the hairy dog baby heard this, she didn't know what the plan was, and replied with a smile: "My grandfather is a good old man, he lived to be sixty years old, and he died at the end of his life." ”

Ma Mingluan nodded, smiled and continued to ask, "What about your grandfather?" ”

The hairy dog baby smiled awkwardly and replied: "There was a famine during the Wanli years, there was no food at that time, and grandpa was starving to death." ”

Ma Mingluan was overjoyed, and then asked, "Then, what about your father?" Are you still alive now? ”

The hairy dog baby shook her head and replied: "Alas, in the past few years, there has been a shortage of soldiers, and a few years ago when I arrived in the state, I met a local thug, I was frightened, and I died within a few days of coming back." ”

Ma Mingluan looked at the hairy dog baby with a smile and continued to ask: "Hairy dog baby, do you know how you will die in the future?" ”

Everyone laughed, in ancient times, talking about life and death was quite a taboo issue, although the hairy dog baby was an ordinary farmer, he was asked this with an angry face, although he didn't dare to attack, but the anger was obvious.

Regardless of Ma Mingluan's status as an official, the hairy dog baby had a heavy face, forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, and did not answer Ma Mingluan's words at all.

Ma Mingluan smiled heartily, and immediately analyzed that the hairy dog baby was dying, because in the peaceful and prosperous era, he would rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world, and of course he could live a long life in the peaceful and prosperous world.

The grandfather of the hairy dog baby starved to death, because of the natural and man-made disasters at that time, suffered disasters, corrupt officials and corrupted officials, oppressed the people, and the people could not survive, so they could starve to death.

The father of the hairy dog baby was scared to death, because it was a troubled time, thieves were rampant, and the lives of the people hung by a thread.

Now in the troubled times, if you can't achieve peace, the tragedy of the grandfather of the hairy dog baby and the father of the hairy dog baby is about to be staged on everyone, if you can't support the people of Dazhou, you will starve to death, be scared to death by the local tyrant, and be killed by the local tyrant is everyone.

It is impossible for everyone to die like the grandfather of the hairy dog baby in the troubled times, and it is very likely that they will be starved to death, scared to death, or just survive like a dog.

Now is a troubled time, everyone has seen a lot of birth, old age, sickness and death, and now listening to Ma Mingluan say this time, thinking of what he has experienced and seen, everyone is sad.

Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Ma Mingluan appeared and said that he was just a scholar in the past, and if he was in a peaceful and prosperous era, he might not even be able to pass the exam, but he followed the general to the battlefield more than a dozen times, and now he has become a senior staff officer, and this time he was ordered to supervise the local militia.

Zhang Daniu appeared to say that he had eaten a lot in the past and was disliked, and he followed the general to join the army two years ago, and he fought more than ten battles, except for being slashed in the arm, he was not injured.

Last year, he was promoted to squad leader, and in the middle of the year, he was promoted to squadron leader, and he was sent to the officer training camp to study for three months, which was an eye-opener.

Now that he has a monthly salary of 4 taels of silver, not only does his family live comfortably, but those who looked down on him in the past stammered themselves and their parents one by one.

………

Just like the MLM in the previous life, when I heard that Zhang Daniu, a farmer who was looked down upon, and a cowherd baby could get ahead, he also suffered day and night, and the people who were struggling on the line of life and death were drunk one by one, and some even applauded loudly.

Seeing that the agitation was almost over, Ma Mingluan immediately announced that the militia was a local armed force, which was good.

This time, he was transferred to fight in other counties and counties, and his treatment was raised to the level of volunteers during the war.

Ordinary soldiers, one tael and five taels of silver per month, were promoted as squad leaders, and two taels of silver per month, and were promoted as squadron leaders, and three taels of silver per month.

Those who are killed or wounded in battle will be treated the same as those of the volunteers.

During the expedition, the township organized other people to help with labor (that is, to help with farm work during the busy season, which was all too common in ancient times).

It's much better than working part-time jobs, not only can other people help you do the work, but you can also earn a military salary, so why not?

It was decided to recruit one or two squadrons from each township, and the squad leader was elected by everyone.

Hearing that they might serve as squad leaders and squadron leaders, some men who believed that they were strong and brave and ruthless asked to enlist in the army one after another.

Under its influence, some friends in the township asked to participate, and in the end, almost none of the more than 60 people who met the criteria for enlistment were willing to back down.

But the quota was only fifty people, and finally it was solved by drawing lots, which was the fairest way in ancient times (it was also very popular in the countryside in the eighties), writing more than sixty lots, grabbing those who went and those who left.

Everyone laughed, especially those who grabbed it, and when they saw the surrounding villagers laughing at their greed for life and fear of death, they repeatedly defended themselves, claiming that they had something to worry about, but this brought greater ridicule.

Ma Mingluan formed these fifty people into four teams, and everyone recommended the team leader, so it took half a day to complete the formation.

After making a register and registering, each person was given five taels of silver to settle in, and everyone was asked to go home first to pack up, and then Keri rushed to the county seat to meet.

In this way, it took five days for the security team to be formed.

On this day, everyone wore brand new armor (captured, although there were not many), took the replaced weapons, and drove to Dazhou.
