Chapter 286: Inspecting the Barracks
According to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, in the frontier guards, when there is no war, 30% of the people do military training, and the rest can farm, and the military rations in the frontier are basically taken care of by themselves.
Duan Fu's thinking was very thoughtful, there were nearly a thousand people in the guard, and he only needed to find more than 2,000 croppers. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Even the remaining 1,000 soldiers, not all of them are in the guards, many of them are doing farm work at home!
"Go, get all the soldiers back for me, from today onwards, all soldiers can't leave the barracks without permission!". Duan Fu roared and said to one of the hundred households under him.
"Yes, yes......, I'll get the brethren back!". The way of a hundred households.
After he left the barracks, he didn't pause for a moment, and went straight to Master Fan's grange.
Master Fan is ranked fifth, known as Fan Fifth Master, and most of the land outside the city belongs to him.
Not all of the soldiers have land, most of them can only rely on doing some handymen for the landlord's family to make a living, and they must be doing farm work in the fields of the Fan family at this time!
Speaking of this Fan Wuye, he is really a capable person, and the soldiers of Lanzhou Wei are only so short of them, which has a little to do with him.
The soldiers of the frontier were all "registered". One person is a soldier, and the whole family is a soldier, and such a family is called a military household.
The soldiers in the family are called the regular army, and the rest are Yu Ding, and if the regular army dies in battle, his place will be filled by Yu Ding.
In terms of treatment, the imperial court will allocate a certain amount of private land to a military household, but the regular army at home can only cultivate the fields in the army, and the private land is cultivated by Yu Ding.
This Zhongwei system looks very good, the number of troops will not decrease, and it will save a lot of military money for the imperial court.
But in fact, this is not the case, let's take Lanzhou Mansion as an example, since this Fan Wuye's eyes were fixed on the land outside the city, the land of the military households has been unstable.
Fan Wuye used various means to take back the land from the hands of the military households, abducted and deceived him, and did everything he could.
Today, most of the land outside the city has the surname "Fan", and the military families really can't survive, so they quietly flee with their families.
The regular army is decreasing day by day, and now it is less than 30% of the original number.
The remaining soldiers did not have much land left in their homes, and they were forced to go to the landlord's house every day to work long hours for them to make ends meet.
Sure enough, as expected by hundreds of households, most of the soldiers are working for the Fan family!
"Everyone, stop all the work in your hands, Duan Qianhu has an order, ordering you to go back to the barracks immediately!" Hyakunhe read out the order on the spot.
The soldiers were tidying up the ditches for irrigation, and they had to put down their tools.
Fan Wuye was also supervising them at the Tian family, but he was unhappy at this time: "Wang Baihu, everyone knows each other, you can't dismantle my platform, I spent money to let these soldiers repair the canal, and you will take them away as soon as you come, so it's not good!" ”。
Fan Wuye relied on his friendship with Duan Deputy Qianhu, and he didn't take Baihu in his eyes at all.
The soldiers work for themselves, he pays for his work, even when Miao Qianhu is there, how can he change the rules casually?
It's just that this time Fan Wuye thought wrongly, Wang Baihu, who had always been respectful to him, did not give him face. Not only that, but he also wanted to use Fan Wuye's influence to recruit two thousand young people.
"Our deputy Qianhu said that Li Ling may come to the barracks to inspect this time, if he gets the wrong place, none of us will want to run away, everyone will die!" Wang Baihu's attitude was very tough: "You must do a good job in this matter, otherwise if your little thing is shaken out, not only will you die, but your whole family will also be implicated!" ”。
This is a real pinch!
The cold sweat on Fan Wuye's body immediately broke out, if what he had done before was revealed, the Ming Dynasty would have no place for the Fan family!
His life was threatened and he had to help Duan Fu recruit Minzhuang.
The Fan family promised the tenants that they would only stay in the barracks for a few days this time, and that after the matter was completed, each person would settle the bill according to the salary of ten cents per day, and they would never be in arrears.
Money can make ghosts grind, and the Fan family did their best, and within two days, they really sent more than 2,000 young people to the barracks.
Duan Fu was very happy, although these were not trained and could not be on the battlefield, but it was still possible to make up the number, only the number of Lanzhou guards now was the same as in the account books.
Everything is ready, just waiting for Li Ling to come and check!
Tongzhi Qian Ming died suddenly, and all the affairs of the government were pressed on Li Ling's head, and he was busy with the group, but by the time he handled the affairs of the yamen, it was already a few days later.
"It's time to deal with Lanzhou's military affairs!" Li Ling muttered to himself.
For a frontier town, defending against foreign enemies is the most important thing, and if the enemy has an opportunity to take advantage of it because of lax armaments, it will be a big trouble.
The 4,000 cavalry led by Li Ling did not camp with the original infantry, but chose to build a barracks on an open field in the west of Lanzhou City.
Li Ling wanted to inspect the infantry battalion, and in case Xiaoba asked to bring more soldiers over, he agreed.
The two thousand cavalry went to the infantry battalion together not to show their prestige, Li Ling had other arrangements.
Although Duan Fu had made full preparations before, he was still very apprehensive when Li Ling came over.
Li Ling sat on his horse, but behind him were thousands of cavalry, these cavalry were all battle-hardened warriors who crawled out of the pile of dead, and their bodies were filled with a terrifying murderous aura.
"Duan Qianhu, this official temporarily acts as the commander of Lanzhou Wei, he has been busy with official business, and he has not been to the infantry battalion to see it, and he still hopes to atone for his sins!" Li Ling said modestly.
He looked into the barracks, which was dusty and full of shouts of killing, as if he was really training soldiers.
"Lord Li, please come in, my family will take out the roster for you to check!". Duan Fu actually took the initiative to ask to check the number of soldiers, which was very different from the scene Li Ling imagined, he thought that the other party must be secretive and refused to comply!
Everyone entered the camp, and many soldiers were practicing, and they all behaved in a good manner, and it seemed that they were really soldiers in the guard!
"My lord, please, I will notify thirty hundred households to enter the account!" Duan Fu said confidently, everything was under his control, and he should be able to fool Li Ling over.
First, a small soldier moved the roster half a meter high to the table in front of Li Ling, and then more than 30 hundred households entered the camp tent in turn.
Duan Fu stood at the bottom of Li Ling, he secretly glanced at Wang Baihu and each other, and the two began to relax, as long as Li Ling was not alone, there would naturally be no problem in checking the name alone.
Li Ling flipped through the roster at will, the paper of the booklet was already very old, it was obvious that the booklet had been made a long time ago, but the content on it had not been changed in any way, and he flipped through several books without finding new handwriting.
Hasn't there been any change in the ranks of soldiers over the years?
Li Ling sneered and put the account book aside.
"Duan Fu, didn't this officer come here today to see your rotten accounts, I don't know how the soldiers are doing? Can they all go to war? ”
"No problem, no problem, in order to protect the people of the city, my soldiers are ready to die generously!"
Li Ling was not entangled in the affairs of the soldiers, Duan Fule was overjoyed, and when the crisis was resolved, he was a little flustered.
The dozens of hundreds of households below looked at each other, most of them were farmers who had just put down their hoes, and the villagers gave them the title of one hundred households in order to facilitate the management of Duan Fu, and they only regarded it as a fun, where did they really know how to fight?
"It's really good, I'll just say, how can there be no bloody men in the dignified Lanzhou Mansion?" Li Ling raised his head and instructed Xiao Ba: "You ask Ma Qiang to bring five hundred cavalry over, let's practice dealing with the Tatar cavalry, tell them to do it with real swords and guns, and try to play a real effect, as long as you don't kill people!" ”。
When the farmers below heard that Li Ling wanted them to practice with the cavalry, they trembled with fright, but when they greeted Lord Li just now, these people saw the lineup of the cavalry, and the soldiers were all full of murderous aura!
If these people accidentally cut off the heads of the villagers, who will the farmers talk to?
"Master Duan, let's quit, you only said that we should come over and pretend to train for a few days, but you didn't say that we should fight with the soldiers, it's not worth it to throw your life here for that money!"
"You want to buy our lives for a few pennies? What do you think of us? A horse is more than that! ”。
"We're quitting, go back, go back!"
The peasants exploded so much that they even took off their armor!
The camp tent was completely chaotic, and more than 20 of the 30 people showed their original clothes, and they were a group of croppers!
Duan Fu and Wang Baihu glanced at each other, this is the end, neither of them thought that Li Ling would actually come to this hand.
If it falls into his hands, one crime after another will be counted, and I am afraid that it will be the sin of beheading.
Duan Fu was cross-minded, he didn't do anything, he just did Li Ling, and it was a big deal that he threw away the position of deputy Qianhu and went to be a bandit outside the city!
He was blinded by evil thoughts in his heart, and planned to break the net in the dead fish and fight hard with Li Ling!
Seeing the black anger on Duan Fu's face, Xiao Ba knew that the situation was not good, he turned around and stood in front of Li Ling: "I advise you to let it go, Dachang Money Village is all over the world, even if you don't use the power of the imperial court, you can't run away!" ”。
Although the farmers are not named, Duan Fu has heard the people of the Fan family mention Dachang Qianzhuang.
Indeed, if Li Ling is moved, if they want to stay in the Ming Dynasty, they will have to go to the poor countryside.
Duan Fu hesitated.
There was a neighing sound outside.
The cavalry rushed into the barracks in accordance with Li Ling's previous instructions, and they were close at hand.
Duan Fu's face turned pale and he collapsed to the ground.
