Three, three, two, and the soldiers are plugged up

(Update delivered, the big war is about to begin)

Two days after leaving the capital, it was over the Shanhaiguan.

Inside and outside the gates, there are two completely different pictures.

When you are in the pass, even if it is a vast plain, it always gives people a feeling that you can't open it, and the sky is low, and as soon as you get out of the pass, you feel that the world is vast, the four fields are sparse, and you can see the boundless wilderness when you look far away.

The 8,000-strong army and 20,000 masters walking under this high, wide and lonely sky also give people the feeling that they are just ants.

In this era, there has not been any pollution, the sky is extraordinarily blue, the earth is extraordinarily vast, out of the Shanhaiguan, the population has not been reduced, but there is a village on the side of the road three or five miles apart. As far as the eye can see, the roadside is full of fertile fields, and the spring wheat planted outside the gate is not yet harvested, and the wheat grows more than a foot high, green, and lush, and it looks like the earth is covered with a green carpet from a distance. When a summer breeze blows, it is a wave of wheat undulating, which is gratifying.

As far as the eye can see, this was originally a wild place, but it turned out to be an extremely rich and peaceful idyllic scenery.

It seems that everywhere as far as the eye can see, wheat has been cultivated and planted.

This is due to the Zhengde Dynasty's policy of 'immigration outside the country' that has been implemented for more than 20 years.

The immigrants of the Ming Dynasty have a origin, when Emperor Hongwu first founded the country, he moved 100,000 wealthy households in the world to Fengyang, the central capital, and Hong Wuye had to plan for his hometown! It has suffered 100,000 rich households, but in one fell swoop, it has transformed Fengyang, the central capital, from an obscure poor town into one of the richest ports in the world! Including the later Yongle Emperor's Jingnan Battle, Shandong is the main battlefield, the imperial army and the Jingnan army fought here, you come and go, and completely beat the entire western and central Shandong into a blank land, ten rooms and nine empty. After the Battle of Jingyan, Emperor Yongle moved a large number of households from Lianghu, Henan and other populated places to fill in Shandong.

Last year's rebellion of the white-robed army, if it weren't for the imperial army plowing the court and sweeping the holes, the white-robed army would have been wiped out quickly, and the two armies would have to fight back and forth.

In the twenty-ninth year of Zhengde, Duoyan Sanwei stood on its own, not only that, but also occupied Daning, a good land for raising horses. After that, the three surnamed Jurchen also became independent, and under the leadership of the Jianzhou Wei commander Wanyan Chen Monk (who wrote it wrong before, sorry), he fought several bloody battles with the Ming Dynasty, and finally forced the Ming Dynasty to admit their status.

In the process of independence of these two major border troubles, the northeastern border army of the Ming Dynasty was almost defeated, and every thousands of people were beaten by hundreds of wolves, running for their lives, and had no combat power.

The weakness of the Ming border army lies in the shortage of food, backward and outdated equipment, lack of training, and weak soldiers, and the source of all this lies in the poverty and weakness of the imperial court. And the poverty and weakness of the imperial court is because of the existence of the nine sides - every year the imperial court's salary, the nine border towns have to consume more than eighty percent, just like that, the supply of grain and salary at the border is insufficient, and it is already thankful that seven months of salary can be paid a year, and it is normal to pay three months of silver. The amount of silver received was only five pieces of silver for one or two cents a month, and they were all blackened and inferior silver.

The reason why this is the case is not because of the hands of the princes of the court, the atmosphere of the Zhengde Dynasty is quite exciting, not like that of later generations. It's really because the road is too far, Datong Xuanfu Jizhen is a little better, close to the mainland, and it is easier to transport grain and grass. And Nuergan and Liaodong, thousands of miles away from the mainland, grain and grass are transported from the mainland, to transport a pound of grain here, on the road to consume ten catties, the two border soldiers more than 200,000, the perennial on the road to transport grain to them will have to go up 500,000!

The soldiers didn't have enough to eat, they couldn't get any money, they were wearing tattered clothes, and they were holding rusty knives in their hands, how could they compete with those wolf-like Jurchen iron horsemen?

Therefore, a vicious circle has been formed, the more the nine sides lose the battle, the more the court spends money, the more the court spends money, the poorer it is, the poorer it is, the more it can't get the silver, the more the nine sides lose the battle!

After that, the imperial court learned from the pain and finally came up with such a way to immigrate to the outside world.

The people of the interior, whether they wanted it or not, moved the whole village here, gave them cattle and simple tools, distributed a large plot of land according to the population, and reduced taxes for the first three years, so that these Chinese peasants, who valued land more than their own lives, remained here.

The scale of the emigration was extremely large, and more than 15 million people from more than 3 million households were relocated from Shandong, Henan, Huguang, Nanzhili, and other political envoys to Guanwai. Immigrants are distributed in a wide range, from Shanhaiguan to the Liao River, from the Liao River to the Songhua River, the Asu River (Ussuri River), and even on the seaside in the extreme east.

According to the regulations of the Ministry of Households, the area of wasteland allocated to each person reached the same level as the average land system of the Tang Dynasty - 80 mu for men and 60 mu for women, and each person cultivated one ox.

At present, Lian Zining does not know how many fields have been reclaimed outside the Guanwai, but what he does know is that the policy of immigration to the outside of the Guanxi has been extremely successful. Twenty years have passed, and the new generation has fully grown into a strong laborforce, and the thousands of miles of barren land outside the customs have also been reclaimed into large tracts of fertile land, and the population outside the customs has also grown explosively.

In this way, three birds are killed with one stone.

The border troops had to get grain and grass, and they no longer had to travel thousands of miles from the Guannai to transport, and the sufficiency of materials greatly increased the combat effectiveness of the border army.

And the imperial court, not only reduced a lot of expenditures, but also could collect more than 3 million taels of silver and 30 million stones of rice and grain from outside the customs every year! Coupled with the previous savings, the imperial court is equivalent to more than seven million taels of taxes per year, and the reason why the imperial court has been able to reform the military system and spend money lavishly in recent years is also thanks to this policy.

Emigration to the outside of the customs also relieves the pressure on the environment due to the overpopulation in the customs area.

Lian Zining and others walked on the post roads that connected more than 300 guards in Liaodong and Nuergan from the Beijing Division, and these post roads were built by the imperial court, the local herdsmen and officials, and then the officials of the Ministry of Industry conducted inspections. Therefore, they are quite sturdy and sturdy, the road surface is thirty steps wide on the left and right, the loess is rammed very strong, and there are drainage canals on both sides of the road, which can effectively drain away the stagnant water, so although it has been built for more than 20 years, the road condition is still very well preserved, and the marching speed of Wu Yijun's army is very fast.

On this day, the army marched to the right tunwei of Quang Ninh and set up camp on the south bank of the Daling River.

According to the marching regulations of the Wu Yi Army, after the army set up camp, not only should the various open posts and secret posts on duty that night be released at least five miles away and hidden in various hidden corners, but also the cavalry of the Thousand Households should be released at least ten miles away to guard against possible enemies.

Ye Feinan was leading a dozen or so of his brothers to the west.

With Yang Husheng performing his duties in the thousands of households of the cavalry of the Wuyi Army, the group of old brothers who followed him at the beginning were naturally rising, which is also the meaning of the situation, but whenever a commander takes office, if he wants to make some achievements, he must have the right people under him. And what could be more appropriate than a trusted cronie that you are used to? So basically the first thing I did when I took office was to install cronies.

This phenomenon is especially serious in the army, even if it is a pure team like the Red Army, it is impossible to avoid such a problem, and the emergence of various factions even Taizu cannot prevent it.

Ye Feinan's promotion to the official is not very fast, and now he has only made a general banner - but the cavalry Qianhu asked Lian Zining to transfer a little, and then a little, and now there are only more than 300 people left, and Ye Feinan, the general banner that should have fifty-five brothers under his command, is only sixteen or seventeen.

It's almost a little stronger than a small flag.

"Chief, it's ten miles away." A cavalry road.

Ye Feinan nodded, pointed to the front and said in a deep voice: "Go to the mound in front, let's go south and cast the net." ”

Now that he is an official, he is naturally not the same temperament as he was at the beginning, and he is more calm, everyone listens to his orders, and they all respond loudly, and more than ten people beat their horses and go west.

The upper reaches of the Daling River are the territory of Duoyan Sanwei, which is far from the village, and the vast ground is full of long, dense tall grass, which drowns the knees of war horses. A group of people rode up to the mound, that is, to take a detailed look and observe the terrain around this - this is also Lian Zining's request to all Wu Yi soldiers, when in the field, make full use of all the terrain, such as a small hill, for the cavalry, can speed up the horse, make the charge more powerful. As for the musketeers, they can use this as a cover to shoot and snipe.

At this moment, Ye Feinan suddenly felt a flash in the corner of his eyes, and a black corner was just revealed in the grass more than ten steps ahead, as if something was hidden.

"Something!" Ye Feinan shouted violently, the divine arm crossbow was already in his hand, and the rest of the soldiers were also like this, and immediately, more than ten cold and shining iron arrows pointed at the dense grass.

"Something, get out of here!" Ye Feinan snorted coldly and slowly rode forward.

Then a shout was heard from the grass, and two black figures came out of the grass and fled in two directions, one south and one north.

Obviously, these two people are very experienced, and they want to make the pursuers take care of one or the other.

This is difficult for Wu Yijun, who has been used to dealing with heroes from all walks of life in Shandong, Ye Feinan waved his hand: "Sixth, take your little flag to chase the one in the north!" ”

"Yes!" A man answered, and the team divided into two groups, one south and one north, and chased after the two fleeing men.

The second hammer felt that he was going to die of bad luck.

He was born in a military household in Liaodong, and his father was originally an officer and soldier of the Nuer Gandu Division Agu Hewei, and he was still a small official - Xiaoqi. However, he has a strong temperament, and he has a lot of mouths, and he talks in all directions, and there are a lot of bad things that leak out of his big mouth, so he is not appreciated by Shangguan. It is also for this reason that when Zhengde's military system was reformed in the past 30 years, not only did he not stay in the army, but the 30 acres of fertile land that should have been allocated as a military household were also detained by Shangguan and not handed down.

This guy is a burst of character, and in a fit of anger, he went to Shangguan to theorize, but without saying a word, he was held down by Shangguan's personal soldiers, crackling and beating fifty military sticks.

This sturdy fifty military sticks almost didn't kill him!

He was also ruthless, hated the officer very much, endured it for a few days, and when his injuries were a little better, he took a few henchmen and touched the officer's house and killed his whole family. Then he cut off Shangguan's head, led a dozen brothers, went to Black Tiger Mountain, and defected to Dong Laohu's family.

Heihu Mountain is the largest group of horse thieves in the entire Songhuajiang General's territory, and it can also be ranked in the top ten among the seventy-two large and small locks of the Nuer Gandu Division!

Because he was born as an official, he was quite knowledgeable, and he was a person who voted for his name, so the second hammer and his father were quite trusted by Dong Laohu, who was a big boss, and now he has two or three hundred brothers in his hands, and he can rank fifth among the leaders of Black Tiger Mountain!

The second hammer grew up with Dong Sanlin, who was a young master, and within the scope of Black Tiger Mountain, he can be regarded as a second-generation official.

A few months ago, the young master suddenly left a letter, saying that he wanted to take a few brothers to join the Wu Yi Army, to see how the Wu Yi Army was trained, and how it could be trained in such a short time.

This incident caused an uproar in the cottage, and the reputation was mixed, and many of the younger ones agreed, saying that the young masters were willing to take risks for us, if they could really learn Wu Yijun's skills, our Black Tiger Mountain would grow stronger, and it would be just around the corner to dominate the slaves and dry the green forest. Some old people, but they all say that it is too risky to be a young master, what if there are really three long and two short?

Dong Laohu was quite in favor of it, but after all, he couldn't rest assured of his son's safety, so he took the second hammer and the sixth child to come to Shandong and try to get along with Dong Sanlin.

The two of them ran all the way, and finally arrived in Shandong, and before they could get in touch with Dong Sanlin, they were attacked by Wu Yijun at night to live in the place, if it weren't for the cleverness of the two, I was afraid that they would have been caught a long time ago, and the two of them were the secrets leaked by the master of the class, and they all hated it, but they didn't dare to go back to provoke after all.

The two of them cautiously fled a long way, and when they touched it back, they got the news that Wu Yijun had pulled out the camp and went to the capital, and the camp of Wu Yijun in the capital was even more heavily guarded, and the two of them couldn't touch it at all, so they could only stare at it with big eyes.

But after all, when the whole army of Wu Yijun went north, they followed all the way, and they were resting here today, but they didn't expect to be discovered!

"This group of dogs entered the Wu Yi Army, why did the outpost release so far?" The second hammer scolded in a low voice while pulling out his legs and running wildly.

It's just that how can his five short stature outrun a galloping horse? After a while, I heard the sound of horses' hooves behind me getting closer and closer, and then the next moment, I heard someone shouting behind me: "If this kid still runs, he will be killed by an arrow!" Anyway, that one was caught, no more than him, no less than him. ”

"Huh? The sixth was caught? When the second hammer heard this, his heart trembled, and when he made a difficult decision, he suddenly weakened his legs, and the whole person rolled on the ground twice, and then sat on the ground with his buttocks, raised his hands high, and shouted: "Grandpa Officers and Soldiers, Grandpa Officers and Soldiers, don't chase it, I'm surrendering!" I'm down! ”

The sound of horses' hooves stopped, and the second hammer rolled his eyes to see a fat man in cotton armor knocking on the saber on his waist, and smiled at himself: "This good man, I lied to you just now, but your accomplice, it is estimated that it is about the same!" ”

Before the words fell, a scream was heard in the distance in the opposite direction, and the second hammer really heard it, it was the voice of the sixth child.

When the second hammer was brought back, I happened to see a few officers and soldiers over there with a person in their hands, it was the sixth child, but the sixth person was captured after being shot through the calf by a crossbow arrow, and the blood flowed profusely.

The second hammer lowered his head and did not dare to look again.

"My lord, the brothers of the cavalry Qianhu came over and talked back, saying that they had caught two gaps!"

When Shi Dazhu came to report, Lian Zining was sending away the prefect of Guangning's right tunwei.

Since the major reform of the military system in the Zhengde year, the separation of military and political systems was implemented in the places outside the Guan, and before the Zhengde Dynasty, the chiefs of the various guards outside the Guanxi were actually all grasping the military, government and civil rights. For example, the commander of the guard of the right tun guard of Guangning is not only the commander of the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the right tun guard of Guangning, but also the local herdsman official of tens of thousands of military households in the area.

This kind of guard system, which is similar to the Tang Dynasty feudal town system, if it were not for the civil officials and commanders above, the Guanwai was not developed at that time, and it was very barren, and sooner or later there would be a big mess.

Rao is like this, in the time and space of Lian Zining, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the major warlords were also uncontrollable, each of them had tens of thousands of soldiers, and they did not listen to the orders of the central government at all.

It was just the opposite of the situation in the early Ming Dynasty.

Since the beginning of the 30th year of Zhengde, the military and the government have been separated, and the commanders of each guard are only in charge of the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers have become professional soldiers, while the military households that were originally responsible for providing soldiers have all been converted into private households, and the land has been distributed on the spot, and the herdsmen have been set up to manage the herdsmen.

Although it is still called the name of Quang Ninh Right Tunwei, in fact, at this time, Guangning Right Tunwei has developed into a big city with a population of more than 100,000 - this is only the scale of a county town in Guannei, but outside Guan, after all, it is sparsely populated, and it is the level of a prefecture.
