Chapter 43: Blocked

Zhu Changyuan has already prepared his fangs, I don't know if he will come to China's territory to spread wilderness, anyway, Siberia is going to be decided. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The fourth military district, put it here!"

Zhu Changyuan's hand moved slightly, and he instantly crossed thousands of miles on the map, and pointed at the Sichuan Basin: "Chengdu Military Region!" ”

The establishment of the Chengdu Military Region is of great significance.

Because Chengdu is not only close to Yunnan, but also close to Tibet, and not far from Qinghai and Gansu. It can be said that once the Chengdu Military Region is established, its threat range and radiation range will be the largest among all military regions.

If you advance, you can rely on Chengdu to launch a war against Tibet, Burma and even India, and if you retreat, you can protect the territory and the people.

"There are 300,000 permanent troops in the Chengdu Military Region, and all of them must be elite soldiers!" Zhu Changyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Kong He and said with a smile: "Don't be so surprised, these 300,000 troops are very useful. ”

Explain the role of the Chengdu Military Region to Kong Heyi, and this goods will be understood.

"The fifth military region is dominated by the naval division, supplemented by infantry soldiers!" Zhu Changyuan's hand clicked on the map, but his eyes fell on Taiwan, and said: "Just in Taiwan, I think Hong Chengchou can be allowed to serve as the chief military officer, what do you think?" ”

Kong He pondered for a while and felt that Zhu Changyuan's idea was very good.

Although Zheng Chenggong made great contributions in the process of conquering Taiwan, it is a pity that he is too young after all, serving as a naval commander is already a young man's ambition enough for him to stink for a while, if he is getting a chief military officer, this little kid is estimated to go to heaven.

Now Hong Chengchou happens to be the governor of Taiwan, and the integration of military and government will help him implement Zhu Changyuan's ideas more thoroughly.

"Your Majesty is wise." Kong He complimented Zhu Changyuan.

Zhu Changyuan's face remained unchanged, and he said while pondering: "Today's world has entered a world of great contention, and those seafaring powers on the earth are competing to occupy territory and colonize and plunder. I'm a slow step! ”

"Therefore, I want to build the most powerful fleet in the world on the island of Taiwan, and I am invincible. At the very least, it can quickly rush to the aid of the Indochina Peninsula and the Indian Peninsula, and at the large level, it can prepare for the occupation of the entire Eurasian land in the future. ”

"These five major military regions have been established in China. As for abroad! Zhu Changyuan's gaze swept across the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea on the map, staring straight at the Korean Peninsula, and said, "I want to establish a coalition base on the Korean Peninsula to deter Fuso. Beihai! ”

After thinking for a while, he said, "In this regard, Honglu Temple still needs to send an envoy to communicate with each other to see what attitude the king of Joseon has and whether he can tolerate my army to go to their country." Your cabinet will take care of this! ”

Zhu Changyuan said again: "The garrison and sailors on Sun Moon Island. In the future, he will slowly move to Taiwan to support Hong Chengchou and Mu Tianbo! ”

Even if Zhu Changyuan is far away in Beijing, he never forgets Taiwan, Hong Chengchou, and his land innovation.

At this time, Hong Chengchou was in full swing to develop Taiwan and build a yamen.

Hong Chengchou was very discerning, and chose the political center of the whole Taiwan in the city of Relanza, and changed the city of Relanza to Tainan City, the capital of Taiwan Province.

According to the topographical characteristics of Taiwan and the size of the territory, three prefectures and six counties are set up. Each county appointed a number of basic officials, allocated a number of silver taels, and the formation was completed.

Although the establishment is completed, I don't know when the construction will be completed!

Since Zhu Changyuan set the time for him at the end of the second year of Taizheng, it was impossible for Hong Chengchou to wait until the construction of the yamen to start the work of land reform, but to carry out the land reform and the construction of the yamen at the same time.

The first step was to divide the whole of Taiwan into six counties, appoint basic official posts such as county commanders, county lieutenants, and head catchers, allocate some silver, and allocate 500 soldiers to each county. First of all, we will preach and educate the common people in each county. Declare the instructions of the imperial court, and let the people know that there is someone in charge and someone to protect them now.

Then, the second step is to start an inventory of the entire population of Taiwan Province. Register, establish household registration, customize the marriage system, and promulgate the Ming law.

While registering the books, Hong Chengchou also asked his officials to pay attention to and record how many rich households, landlords, and poor people there were in each county.

After the household registration system is established and improved. In the third step, Hong Chengchou began to measure the land on a large scale, especially the arable land.

Measuring the land is a manual work, but also a detailed work, not one or two people or one or two hundred people can complete the thing, Hong Chengchou in addition to the mobilization of 10,000 troops, but also fully mobilized the assistance of the noble clans and people in various places, a piece of measurement and measurement.

Work is unexpectedly difficult.

It's not that it's hard to work, it's hard to perform.

Too much resistance!

When measuring the land, the owners of those lands were very resistant. The big landlords, who had a little bit of power, did not take Hong Chengchou's officials seriously, and they even used private soldiers to drive away the soldiers and officials who went to measure.

This kind of thing does not happen in one village or one household, but happens every day in all the six counties.

If this situation continues, it will be difficult to complete the land renovation by the end of next year, not to mention the completion of land measurement.

Hong Chengchou pondered and meditated, and didn't think of any good way all night, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Draw out all the soldiers, start with one county, measure one by one, see which one dares to object, and directly arrest and whip them!" ”

Implementing Zhu Changyuan's simple thoughts, after Hong Chengchou divided the six counties in Taiwan, he named them all on a par with Zhu Changyuan: one county, two counties, three counties, four counties, five counties, and six counties!

It is similar to Zhu Changyuan's forcible change of the Ganzhi year to the first to the thirtieth day of the new year.

So, the next day, Hong Chengchou personally took 100 officials and 20,000 troops and drove directly into the territory of a county and began a large-scale land survey.

Of course, resistance is indispensable.

Although I don't know what the official uniform wants to do to measure the land, but why do they let them measure their own land, many people are not fools, and they obviously feel that Hong Chengchou is not good at this, so the resistance is even more serious.

An old man surnamed Yan in the county was the largest landlord in the area, and not only occupied 5,000 hectares of land, but he also had more than 300 private soldiers at home.

Relying on his own family background, he yelled at Hong Chengchou and began to resist.

"Don't move, no one is allowed to move!" Old man Yan personally led private soldiers, followed by his children and grandchildren, everyone had weapons in their hands, and what was even more excessive was that Old Man Yan and his sons also had high-end things like muskets in their hands.

Three hundred private soldiers stood in the field, and the people who came to measure the land on the other side wilted.

Although Hong Chengchou brought 20,000 people, 20,000 people can't all be put together.

"Dad, these are all officers and soldiers of the imperial court, what if we provoke them?" Old Man Yan's youngest son was only ten years old, and he was timid, looking at the thirty or forty soldiers holding weapons and ropes opposite, he was a little timid.

"Don't be afraid!" Old man Yan comforted his son: "How many years have our Yan family been here, although we don't dare to say that we are the king, but I haven't seen anyone come over to really manage us, today the government wants to manage me has no opinion, I can also pay taxes, but measure our family's land, just can't die!" ”

The old man was very stubborn, and pointed his gun at the soldiers who came to measure, "Get out, don't be in my field!" ”

He was right, although in the pre-Ming Dynasty, Taiwan was also under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, but it was not easy to manage across a strait, and he was afraid that sending troops into Taiwan would cause local secession. Therefore, Taiwan has always been a county-level administrative unit, under the jurisdiction of a prefecture in Fujian Province.

How can a county with only a few officials be able to govern Taiwan?

Therefore, these people are accustomed to being the king and hegemon in the local area, and they never know how to be afraid when they see officers and soldiers, whether they are officials.

"Uncle, we came here to measure how much land your family has, not your land, what are you afraid of!" A soldier explained to the old man that he hoped to convince him to complete his mission.

"That's right, uncle, we're just measuring your land!"

The other person fits this story.

"Whew! Don't pretend that I don't know what you're trying to do. Old man Yan showed a contemptuous smile in his eyes, and said: "You want to pay taxes, so you come to my house to measure the land, and you want me to pay according to the amount of land, I tell you, no way!" ”

"We have a hundred people in our family, and we only pay taxes for a hundred people, so don't think about anything else. As for this land, it is the inheritance of my ancestors, and you are delusional! ”

The soldier at the head smiled bitterly, pointed to the private soldier behind the old man and said, "Your family has a hundred people, but your soldiers alone have three hundred, don't you pay taxes?" ”

Old man Yan said: "My soldiers are not my family, why should I pay taxes for them, you have the ability to ask them?" ”

The three hundred private soldiers behind listened to the old man's words, and each shook the weapons in his hands, showing his fangs at the officers and soldiers, as if to say: Come on, see if I will pay you taxes?

"The Dutch didn't say they wanted to measure my land, you can't do that!"

Old man Yan is not stupid, his family has 5,000 hectares of land, almost 80,000 mu, which can produce 200,000 stone of grain every year, and if it is according to the tax rate of the Ming Dynasty, the annual tax is about 5,000 taels of silver.

How can this be done?

"Uncle, I said, we just came here to measure the land, and we don't collect taxes, please make it convenient for the uncle!" The soldier at the head took a slight step forward as he spoke.

"Don't come, stop, stop!"

"Bang!" Before the old man finished speaking, he didn't know that the child and grandson suddenly fired a shot at the soldier, which happened to hit the soldier's ****, although the shot did not kill, but a bloody hole opened in the chest.

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

"**** your grandma!"

When the soldiers saw that the boss was beaten to death, they were red-eyed one by one, and they didn't care how many people and weapons were on the other side, so they picked up the guy and fought with Old Man Yan's private soldiers. (To be continued.) )
