Chapter 47: Reward

Seeing the excited appearance of the soldiers below and the reverent gaze towards him, Liu Fan couldn't help but sigh that the ancient people and peasants were too poor, and a meal of big fat meat that modern people didn't even look at could win the hearts of nearly a thousand people and make them willing to die. Liu Fan couldn't even believe it, it was so easy to recover these Liaodong troops, why couldn't these soldiers meet the outrageous demands of those military attaches and civilian officials of the Ming Dynasty? He is sitting on a fertile field and has a thousand tilts of food in his family, and he is reluctant to give a little bit to the poor who can't afford to eat, so he has to force them to rebel. Liu Fan smiled, then why don't you pay taxes, sit back and watch the Ming Dynasty's finances go bankrupt and smoke everywhere, but you can find various ways to evade taxes and evade taxes with peace of mind. When people were cornered, they rebelled, but they turned around and blamed the court for their ineffective suppression of bandits! What a man! For the social status quo of Daming, which is difficult to return, Liu Fan is both pitiful and hateful!

With these thoughts in his heart, Liu Fan was speechless for a while, and the soldiers below looked at Liu Fan silently, and gradually became nervous, and the cheers slowly fell silent. Suddenly, he couldn't hear the voice, Liu Fan woke up, and secretly said that he was thinking nonsense again, and it was still important to deal with the right thing, so he slowly said, "Since everyone is treated equally!" I still have to say something about some people's violations of military regulations in the past! If you do something wrong, you will be responsible, not that there will be nothing in the past! I've got a list here, and I'll read it to you! After that, he took the list from Li Xiaohu's hand and read:

Chen Youdeng, Chen is sometimes a subordinate of the son, the current sentinel, when the city of Dengzhou was broken, he led people to rush into the people's homes and plunder property, killed 18 people with his own hands, and insulted two women.

Zhao Dalian, the current team officer, led people to attack the gentry Li family, killed 53 members of the Li family, raped his wife and daughter, maid, and then killed the mouth.

Shang Ming, the team officer, led the team to ransack Leijiagou and slaughter the village...

Below is a list of all the people that Wang Yong investigated? One by one in the list.

As Liu Fan said the name of a person every time, Li Xiaohu, who had already received the order, took one of the Jinyi guards who knew everyone on the list, stepped forward and threw the person to the ground and grabbed the crowd. By the time Liu Fan finished reading, more than 200 people had been caught and brought to the stage.

Glancing at the heinous people below, Liu Fan opened his mouth and said, "These people may not be all, but I don't want to pursue the rest of them!" I said I would give you a way to live, and I said I would do it. These captured people are compiled into coolie camps! In wartime, as a death squad, how many people they kill, how many enemies they will kill in the future battle, how many enemies they will kill in the future, how many will stay in the coolie camp forever, when to atone for their sins, when to give them freedom! ”

Hearing that Liu Fan was going to organize them into a coolie camp, some of the people who were arrested below were struggling, some were silent, and Shang Ming, the former team officer, shouted loudly, "My lord! The subordinates are also acting on orders! Please spare your life! ”

Liu Fan sneered: "On order? On whose orders? Ordered to let you slaughter the village? I don't care whose orders you take, you have to take responsibility for what you do, don't say more! Drag it out! Li Xiaohu and the others immediately pressed everyone to walk out, everyone wanted to struggle to see the cold faces of the soldiers, the swords in their hands, and they didn't dare to resist!

While Liu Fan was busy with the reorganization and integration of the troops, on the other side, Zhu Dadian had completely swept away the fleeing rebels around him. After the battle of Dengzhou, Zhu Dadian began to report to the imperial court, and explained in detail the process of the battle and the combat situation of each person! Ask the court to reward the generals.

After Chongzhen saw Zhu Dadian's performance, he convened the cabinet to discuss the rewards and evaluate the merits, and finally decided to promote Zhu Dadian to the right attendant of the military department, and seal the hereditary brocade clothes of the descendants, and still patrol the ground in the area of Deng and Lai. The dead Zhang Keda, Xu Congzhi, Xie Lian, Zhu Danian and others were all sealed, and the Liaodong Army and other guest troops who participated in the battle were promoted to one level, among which Liu Zeqing was promoted from the deputy general soldier to the chief military officer under the recommendation of Zhu Dadian, and was responsible for replacing the dead Zhang Keda and became the chief soldier of Shandong, responsible for the defense of the Denglai area. Liu Fan became the deputy official of the Jiaolai Prefecture Salt Transportation Department and Wupin, responsible for the official salt farm and tax collection in Laizhou.

After the end of the imperial court's reward, the guest army Dengzhou returned to the garrison one by one, and Liu Fan also left the military camp outside Dengzhou City and began to take the army to his post.

The salt industry in the Ming Dynasty was in charge of the household department, and Shandong set up a total of one chief officer of the Salt Transport Department called the salt transport ambassador from the three products, responsible for the salt tax work of Shandong, headquartered in Xinyang, with two sub-divisions respectively, namely Jiaolai and Binle, two of which were called the chief of the Salt Transport Division, and the deputy official of the Salt Transport Division was called the deputy official from the three products, and the chief officer of the Salt Division was called the Salt Section, and the official position was promoted from the eight products. Shandong Chengyuan system has a total of 19 salt farms, namely Xinyang, Taoluo, Shihe, Xingcun, Dengning, Xiyou, Haicang, Wangjiagang, Guantai, Gudi, Gaojiagang, Xinzhen, Ninghai, Fengguo, Yongzhi, Liguo, Fengmin, Fuguo, Yongli. Among them, there are 12 salt farms under the jurisdiction of Binle Branch, including Liguo, Fengmin, Fuguo, and Yongli, which are located in Zhanhua County, Ninghai, Fengguo, Yongzhi, and Yongzhi, which are located in Lijin County, Wangjiagang, Gaojiagang, Xinzhen, and Xinzhen, which are located in Le'an County, and Binle Salt Transportation Division is also located in Le'an. The rest of the Guantai and Gudi are located in Shouguang and Weixian respectively, and the salt fields of Binle Branch are numerous and concentrated, and the output is huge, which is the main salt producing area and tax burden in Shandong. There are 7 salt farms under the jurisdiction of the Jiaolai Branch. Among them, the two fields of Xiyou and Haicang are located in Ye County, Dengning Salt Farm is located in Fushan, Xingcun Salt Farm is located in Laiyang, Shihe Salt Farm is located in Jiaozhou, Xinyang Salt Farm is located in Zhucheng, and Taoluo Salt Farm is located in Rizhao. Its seat of governance is in Xiguan, Jiaozhou. Jiaolai branch salt field is distributed in the coastal area of Denglai Qing Sanzhou, its salt field is located in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea coast, far away from each other, not conducive to management, and the output is not as good as Binle, Jiaolai said that it is the management of 7 salt farms, in fact, it is only the management of the Yellow Sea coast Xinyang, Shihe, Xingcun, Taoluo four salt farms, Xiyou, Haicang and Dengning salt fields are located on the coast of the Bohai Sea, more inclined to Binle Division is generally paid salt tax by Binle, and its transportation is inconvenient, it is difficult to transport salt goods to the salt-deficient areas in the north by canals alone, and there are two Zhejiang salt merchants in the Yellow Sea to squeeze out, Therefore, the position of Jiaolai Salt Division is embarrassing, although it is at the same level as Binle, but it cannot be compared with it in terms of production and sales, tax revenue, and its tax burden is only comparable to one or two large salt farms in Binle! Therefore, Liu Fan was successfully appointed as the deputy envoy of Jiaolai Salt Transport, otherwise, with the huge chain of interests generated by the salt industry, how could Liu Fan so easily seize such a position with both real power and huge interests!
