Chapter 809: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas
Huang Mingli's task was to deploy an encirclement in the west and north of the Beijing Division.
The encirclement of the east and south of the Beijing division was completed by He Kegang, part of the original team under the command of Cheng Da and the "Nanming" soldiers who accompanied the return of the Ming eunuch and the queen after landing in Tianjin, and Huang Sheng would personally lead ten battalions of men and horses to participate in the battle.
There is not much strategic space for the Jingshi to the east, there is a vast sea, and the thieves have no navy, so it is impossible to get dizzy and choose to break through to the east when they are besieged.
Therefore, the arrangement of Jingshi West is the key, not only to prevent the thieves from escaping back to their hometowns, but also to deal with the thieves who came to meet the people and horses left in Shanxi.
Huang Mingli has been fighting for 20 years, starting from a big-headed soldier serving as a spearman and forming a three-talent formation to assassinate Jiannu face-to-face, and then as a cavalryman, and has served as a general banner, a hundred generals, a thousand generals, and guerrilla generals......
From commanding a few people to commanding more than 100,000 horses to sweep across the prairie, his growth is really one step at a time.
The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind. Huang Mingli knows that now that the peaches are ripe, the head of the family is just around the corner to become the pride of the sky.
Of course, he understands that he has to hide his strategic intentions now, and after the thieves and Daming are dead, "Nanming" will jump out to pick peaches.
Therefore, the deployment of troops must be concealed, so that the thieves cannot be aware of the "god of war" eyeing and lose the courage to attack the capital.
Mao Yuanyi, who was affirmed by the king of the south and got the title of "Nanming", had long thought that he was the minister of "Nanming", and he looked forward to making meritorious contributions again.
Mao Yuanyi led the 6,000 men and horses of the Fubiao Battalion who participated in the war in Liaodong to return to Denglai, and Lu Chengzu also returned to Qingjiao to dispatch the "God of War" men and horses deployed in Shandong.
Lu Chengzu is the founder of Shandong's "God of War", and his "Qingjiao Iron Horse" is famous all over the world because he is one of the main forces that captured Gao Yingxiang alive.
Lu Chengzu only brought a few dozen guards to Fushan to give orders, and the soldiers and civilians on the Jiaodong Peninsula responded positively.
Within a few days, more than 10,000 men and horses were immediately formed, although most of them were first-class villagers, but their combat effectiveness was not at all comparable to that of a mere rogue with flintlock rifled guns.
Lu Chengzu's temporary "God of War" Shandong soldiers and Mao Yuanyi's Fubiao battalion will be put into the battle of besieging the Beijing division and eliminating the thieves, and the number of men and horses will not be less than 20,000.
Mao Yuanyi had already set off with his troops, and he was on the road under the banner of King Qin, who entered the capital.
The county seats, state towns, and government cities that he entered along the way, Mao Yuanyi took them all over honestly and unceremoniously, and as long as there was a Ming army, they were all called in front of the tent to listen to orders.
The land of Shandong is not very peaceful, bandits and rogues are everywhere, and the news of the founding of the "Dashun" state has further stimulated many rebellious thieves, and they have pulled up a team to attack the city and strive to mix up a general in the new "Dashun" dynasty.
Too many officials in the Daming government have lost confidence in the situation, and there are even some county magistrates who directly hang up the seal and quit.
Some county magistrates who were born in Jinshi resigned because they were disappointed in Zhu Ming's country, and some people fled when they saw that the rogues were coming to attack and abandon the city.
Although Mao Yuanyi is the governor of Denglai, according to the Ming system, he can't control his parents and officials in other places, even if he is a Ming Zheng Sanpin feudal official.
But now he still has the title of "Nanming" second-class Marquis of Anguo, and is the chief governor of "Nanming" Shandong. Along the way, the Ming Dynasty and the military actively cooperated with Mao Yuanyi's work, and basically no one had too much resistance to the "Nanming" taking over the city of Shandong.
Because the abandonment of the Shandong territory also means that there is no need to care about the livelihood of the people on this land, there are continuous military disasters and natural disasters for many years, and too many people who are waiting to be fed need money and food to resettle, where does the Ming government have this ability.
Many county and prefecture governments in Shandong have temporarily appointed town magistrates and propaganda team officers to resume administrative management, and at the same time, helping the poor and the needy is also in progress.
Military management is an administrative agency used for excessive use in extraordinary periods, and there will soon be the arrival of the "Nanming" pavilion chief, the township head, and the county magistrate, and the Shandong Qinwang led by Lu Chengzu and Mao Yuanyi will pass by, and the "Nanming" organization will be built along the way.
Life-saving food will be loaned interest-free to all people facing hunger, and people can get land to cultivate, loans for seeds and cattle, and low-interest help funds for production to help themselves.
The "Nanming" first demarcated the terra nullius to sublease the landless peasants, and even the tax plus land rent should not be higher than 30% of the yield of a single crop, which could be paid in kind.
If the unclaimed land obtained was not enough for the landless peasants to cultivate, the "Nanming" government adopted the method of redemption to buy land from the large landowners.
At the same time, a unified land tax was implemented, and the maximum tax exemption limit for scholars was 80 mu per household, and the tax exemption limit for small people in Shengdou was 5 mu per household, and the land tax for acres exceeding this limit was about 1 bucket per mu.
However, the tax of a bucket of imperial grain generally refers to the average value of all land, and there is naturally a corresponding proportion of fertile land, thin land, and mountainous land, but there is one rule, and those who own land have to pay enough even if they abandon the imperial grain.
A large number of peasants rent land provided by the government, and the taxes and rents are transparent and reasonable.
In the case of the competition between the big landlords and the government for labor, there is no doubt that there is unequal competition, and the landlords are completely disadvantaged.
If a big landlord dares to hoard a large amount of cultivated land in his hands without doing his best, it is very likely that he will not find anyone to cultivate it by hand, and if he does not get the harvest, he will have to hand over the imperial grain, which will drag the landlord to the point of bankruptcy.
"Nanming" such policies and regulations have been implemented for many years, Shandong scholars have also heard that the government offers a fair price to buy acres of land and sublease to the people, most scholars can accept it, they take the silver coins will not let the funds idle, buying new shares for investment is a good choice.
In fact, this is the land reform of the "Nanming" government, another way of "the cultivator has his land".
There is no bloody and violent robbery, respect for the rights and interests of poor peasants to obtain farmland, and also safeguard the vested interests of the rich, whose accumulation is not necessarily forcible grabbing, and perhaps the income of the hard work of our ancestors is unknown.
The "Nanming" government does not hate the rich, let alone the scholars, and governs with the attitude of treating all people, whether rich or poor, equally, and only those who break the law are bad people, and resolutely crack down.
The "Southern Ming Dynasty" will persistently follow the path of common development, adopt the method of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle to the serious social phenomenon of inequality between the rich and the poor in the late Ming Dynasty, and first solve the crucial land contradictions.
Strictly stipulate a series of welfare benefits such as exemption and exemption of land tax and Ding tax enjoyed by the scholar class, and extend the tax-free benefits to the families of small people in Shengdou.
Soon there will be government projects in the land of Shandong, the construction of roads, reservoirs, bridges need to hire a large number of laborers, more employment channels, grassroots people will gradually accumulate wealth, in a few years, a thriving Qilu land will show.
