Following Chen Zheng's command, Qianhu and other officers were frightened at this time, and now Yang Tingjian, the king of Hades, was already waiting in the school field, even if he went to invite someone to make up the number temporarily.

Chen Zhengzhi also simply gritted his teeth, and said to the officers under him:

"Let's go and gather my men to the school yard at once! How much is how much, don't go to the farmer to make up the number, Lord Yang has fought on the battlefield, and this farmer can see it at a glance. ”

"Is that okay? We have a lot of empty salaries......"

"It's been so far, it's just the official."

Since Shangguan planned to shoulder all the responsibilities, they had no worries, and immediately summoned his subordinates to gather at the school grounds.

When the half-pillar incense was about to burn, Yangzhou Wei and several thousands of households and commanders finally arrived with men and horses, Yang Tingjian looked at the sparse crowd below, and couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Zheng saw that his subordinates were all here, and they were fully armed, there were more than 100 people in his family, and in addition to the families of thousands of households, the entire Yangzhou Wei could barely fight with these more than 300 people, and the remaining seven or eight hundred men and horses, not to mention, the mandarin duck jackets on their bodies could no longer see their original color, and they were patches and patches, and the weapons in their hands were even more rusty.

"Humble Chen Zheng, the commander of Yangzhou Guard, the soldiers and horses of the department have been assembled, please review it."

"Chen Zheng, are you guilty?"

"My lord, I am guilty of my humble duties, but the lower officials have other hidden secrets! The little money allocated by the imperial court is simply not enough to support 5,600 soldiers! What's more, the lowly post has not received a penny of military salary for half a year, and the lowly post is also a clever woman who is difficult to cook without rice! Please also ask Lord Yang to take a clear look. ”

Of course, Yang Tingjian knows about this situation, Yang Tingjian is not here to punish people today, today Yang Tingjian is to see the actual situation, and then further decide how to develop the navy. In another half a year, Longjiang Bao Shipyard will produce more than a dozen Victory sail and steam engine hybrid warships, and if no one operates these warships, it will be a tragedy, so Yang Tingjian will start planning from now on.

"Of course this official knows about this situation, so I will spare you for the time being. Within three days, all officers from more than 100 households will go to the Huben Military Academy to take the examination, and those who pass the examination will immediately enter the Huben Military Academy to study; if they do not pass the examination, they will be immediately removed from their posts, and at the same time, they will be removed from the household registration of the military household and classified as a civilian household. ”

"Ahh

The officers kneeling below Yang Tingjian were dumbfounded, this return to the civilian household is something that many ordinary military households dream of, even if it is a small officer like General Banner, they think about their children and grandchildren. I don't want to stay in the guardhouse, otherwise there won't be so many fugitive military households in Daming.

But is this new prefect funny, actually taking the reward as a punishment, or this prefect is a nerd who doesn't understand anything.

Yang Tingjian saw the surprised expression of the fat-headed and big-eared officer kneeling in front of him, and knew that they didn't understand what he meant, so he continued:

"The land in the names of those who have been expelled from the military household registration will be forcibly collected as official land, and then distributed to other military households that have no land."

Now the kneeling officers understood. The surname Yang has taken a fancy to the land under their name, but can they confront Yang Tingjian? Apparently not. Even if they attack immediately, Yang Tingjian's three hundred personal guards can kill these nearly a thousand rabble, lose their armor, not to mention that Yang Tingjian still has invincible martial arts in the world, and he will take the head of the enemy general among the ten thousand troops.

Chen Zheng was the commander, and he also occupied a lot of land, and so did his subordinates. These fields are the ancestral property they leave to their descendants, and they must not be touched.

"Please be merciful! These officers under the humble rank are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and the sky can see that there is no merit and hard work. Please spare them this time! ”

This made Yang Tingjian laugh and cry, all the officers who came out of the Huben Military Academy were officers, and they were promoted very quickly, if it weren't for Yang Tingjian's desire to recruit the navy from those simple military households, Yang Tingjian would not have been able to give some moths such a good opportunity.

"Commander Chen, get up and talk back!"

"Don't dare to be humble, ask for the grace of the adults."

All right! Since you yourself want to kneel, Yang Tingjian didn't tell Chen Zheng to get up, but continued:

"It is a very honorable thing to be able to enter the Huben Army Military Academy, and after graduating from the military academy is to be able to serve as a hundred-household-level officer of the Huben Army, do you know how much the military salary of the Huben Army is for one hundred households?" -- The annual salary is sixty taels, which is equivalent to the salary of a county commander, and the annual salary of other senior officers is even higher.

The official can make it clear that only officers with a level of more than 1,000 households are qualified to let their children take the exam, and the rest of the people do not have this qualification, such as 100 households, that is, they go to take the exam themselves. ”

As soon as Yang Tingjian said this, the following officers of the guard office understood what Yang Tingjian meant, they were all fat-headed and big-eared, and if they wanted to enter the Tiger Army, it would definitely not work, but the children of these officers, more or less have studied for a few days, if they can be admitted to the Tiger Ben Military Academy, of course, it is the best, and the treatment of the Tiger Ben Army is really not to be said.

"Thank you, Honorable Grace, ......"

Several officers below hurriedly kowtowed to thank them, and Yang Tingjian waited for them to finish kowtowing, and then continued to speak:

"There's one more good thing, let's talk about it together today! …… This official intends to incorporate the four guards of Yangzhou Mansion into the system of the Tiger Ben Army, and in the future, your military salary will be paid by the Tiger Ben Army, and the annual salary of each soldier is twenty-four taels of silver, and the annual salary of Xiaoqi is thirty-six taels of silver......

The few officers kneeling below are really kowtowing like garlic, and the imperial court's subsidy for the guard is too little, and that little military salary can't support a few soldiers at all. Now it's okay, Yangzhou Wei can finally get a high military salary.

"Thank you, Lord Yang, for your grace, and swear to follow Lord Yang to the death......"

"Don't be busy thanking this official, there are a few more below, which may touch your interests, but this official has decided to implement it immediately, if anyone dares to obstruct this official's reform of the guard, there will be no mercy......

First, from now on, the Tiger Army will recruit new Yangzhou Wei recruits among all the children of military households, and all recruits will be trained by the instructors of the Tiger Army.

Second, the land of the health center will be redistributed from now on, and all the land will be publicly owned by the health center (equivalent to the current collective ownership), and each military household will receive 10 acres of responsible land.

(Yang Tingjian's system is the modern household contract responsibility system, which prevents the emergence of land annexation and prevents land from being inherited from generation to generation.) Yang Tingjian can only be carried out in the health center at this time, which can be regarded as a small-scale practice, and it can't be done like this in other places. (To be continued......)
