At the end of the Ming Dynasty, a small soldier of the border army Chapter 323 waited and saw the changes

The people in all parts of the East Road generally welcomed the general's decree, and the people hated the bandits who killed a thousand knives, killed people and set fires, robbed and raped them. There are some people who are called "righteous bandits", who think that they have robbed the rich and helped the poor and upheld justice, but they are also silent to them in the helplessness of the people.

There are scum among the poor, and there are also heroic people among the rich, indiscriminately, smashing kilns and kidnapping tickets, holding the banner of "killing the rich and helping the poor", can they cover up their various illegal acts? Regardless of whether they are "evil bandits" or "righteous bandits," bandits are just bandits after all, and in essence, they are all troubled by the idea of getting something for nothing.

Chivalry invades the realm with martial arts, Wang Dou doesn't need these "Xun Tianxingdao" heroes, dare to disobey the order, and kill them all.

The people were all talking excitedly, the officers and soldiers were incompetent in the past, they could not protect the territory and the people, and as soon as the victorious general of Dingguo arrived, the end of the bandits had arrived.

Regarding Wang Dou's actions, the East Road official Xiang Shen privately discussed, this Wang Dou was indeed born as a bandit, and everywhere he went, the bandits suffered.

Of course, Wang Dou chopped up the bandits in the territory, which was beneficial and harmless to them, who didn't want their wives to live peacefully and give birth in peace?

As soon as the notice came out, it received rave reviews, not to mention the literati in Wang Dou's system, and propaganda institutions such as the theater troupe and the stage hurriedly touted it. Even the literati everywhere on East Road also have a positive attitude. Wu Zhi and others, the governor of Yanqing, who were dissatisfied with Wang Dou, also made some praising remarks out of conscience.

The plan to suppress bandits was planned by the Shogunate's General Staff Division and the Intelligence Division.

The shogunate was not yet perfect, and the four parts of the Operations Section under the General Staff Division were responsible for suppressing bandits. The relevant intelligence espionage is also under the responsibility of the seven sections of the Intelligence Division. However, the integration of various divisions will not be perfected in a short period of time, and the remaining bandits will be jointly planned by the officers of the shogunate for the time being.

From Chongzhen seven years to the present, the Shunxiang Army's experience in suppressing bandits has been extremely rich, after Wang Dou was appointed as the security state of conduct, his subordinates did not collect the map of the surrounding states and counties for many years, Xuanfu Town East Road, Zhencheng, South Road, North Road, West Road, etc., the mountains and rivers in many places have been understood a lot.

In addition, Wang Dou took office and received the terrain atlas of the East Road, and he knew all the places well, but he could be regarded as clear and understandable.

After the establishment of the shogunate, the staff department was already studying the sand table. The sand table is not unfamiliar, it is rumored that as early as when Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, Qin Shi Huang personally piled up the sand table to study the geographical situation of various countries, when Emperor Guangwu conquered Tianshui, the general Ma Yuan also gathered rice for the valley, pointing to the situation.

To build a sand table, the most important thing is to have extremely accurate topographic mapping of various places, otherwise a series of impressionist tactical strategies will be planned.

On the day the notice was issued, the Shunxiang military sentry rode out in all directions, and the situation of bandits in various places on the East Road continued to gather in front of the case of the General Staff Division, and then turned to Wang Dou.

It can be seen that the power of the Shunxiang army is powerful, and within a few days of the announcement being released, there was an endless stream of bandits who surrendered to the mountains. Or some bandit leaders lamented: "There is a general of Dingguo, and there is no place for me to stay in this place on the East Road." They fled and fled into Xuanfu Town.

Of course, there are also stubborn people, who either hesitate to wait and see, or do not care.

As soon as the deadline passes, Wang Dou will let these people understand what it means that there is no regret medicine to take in the world.

The suppression of bandits is only part of Wang Dou's planning, after the establishment of the shogunate, each performs its own duties, and does not need to spend much effort on Wang Dou, he is now mainly concerned about the affairs of Tuntian in various parts of the East Road.

Like the shogunate divisions, the civil affairs department was not perfected after its establishment, and there were many plans for the future east road, and the most urgent thing was to first resettle those displaced people and set up forts in Tuntian.

But there is a problem here, not counting the original people on Donglu, even the refugees rescued by Wang Dou, the number of new people who have flowed in over the years has reached more than 230,000. If Wang Dou's original method of tuntian is followed, all these people will be converted into military households, and each household will be divided into 50 mu of land, and more than 2.5 million mu of land will be needed.

It seems that the entire East Road combined, there is not so much arable land, and there are not so many cattle.

When Zhang Gui, the ambassador of the Department of Civil Affairs, was troubled, on the third day of the first month of May, Ye Xizhi, the scribe of the department, offered him a plan to camp in the field, Zhang Gui's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly rushed to Wang Dou to offer advice.

Xia Guan believes that all parts of the East Road can initially set up a system of camping fields and collectively grant fields. Seeds, farm tools, and cattle are all supplied by the government, and all the grain collected goes to the government, and the cantonment households are given monthly rations. In this way, the centralized use of manpower and cattle in each tun will not have to worry about the shortage of agricultural tools, and it can also increase the efficiency of the tuntian......"

The word "efficiency" was invented by Wang Dou and has been widely used among all officials under his command. ,

Zhang Gui said that the camp field, there is nothing strange, in the early Ming Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang Juntun, the beginning is the use of camp method, Sun Kewang ruled Yunnan, the same set up camp system, and the production team of later generations is almost the same. It is true that the efficiency of tuntian can be increased in the initial stage, but ......

Wang Dou said slowly: "I'm afraid that the army and the people will be slack in the future, and I don't want to contribute to the government." ”

Both the Chinese people and the entire human race have a characteristic of working hard for their own family and working for the public, but they are completely unwilling to pay attention. At that time, firearms were manufactured, and there were literati at that time who wrote: "...... Otherwise, taste the trade between the East and the West, and Zhuyi will buy the unification of Guangzhong. Those who sell to the people are extremely fine, and those who make them for the government are indiscriminate. From this point of view, I China is unwilling to Seiko ears, and it is not possible to Seiko. ”

Wang Dou was worried that the system of camping fields would raise a large group of lazy people in the future, and some so-called "smart people" tried their best to be lazy, leading the entire Tunpu to form a bad atmosphere. The camp system in the early Ming Dynasty later developed to divide the fields according to households, presumably for this reason.

Zhang Gui smiled and said: "The general is wise and far-reaching, and he thinks the same way about whether he can do it one by one." ”

He said: "Therefore, the camp system of the lower officials has a certain number of years, and there are also corresponding supervision regulations. Those who perform outstandingly, the children of the family can be selected to be the army, and when they retire, they can get 50 acres of fields in the tunzhong, as well as cattle and farm tools, etc., which become their own property and pass on to future generations. ”

In this way, in order to join the army, in order to get a share of the land, they must work diligently, have the advantages of camping the land, and have no disadvantages of camping the land. And so on, if the scribes of each fort are outstanding, they will also be able to divide the land in the future. Of course, they want to change the household registration of concubines and change from civilian households to military households. ”

Wang Dou got up and paced, looking at the sun outside the window, entering May, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and time flies so fast.

Wang Dou sighed with emotion and returned to reality.

What Zhang Gui said is very feasible, now the household registration of military households under his rule is worth a lot, and many civilian households have secretly changed to military households, which is unimaginable in other guards in the Ming Dynasty. In particular, there are Dingkou who join the army, and the whole family has become fragrant.

With limited financial resources, Wang Dou only plans to train another 5,000 troops in the future, which is not as short as before, and now there are more than 100,000 people suitable for serving as soldiers in the new population under his rule. There are many monks and little porridge, and in order to snatch the 5,000 soldiers, there are undercurrents surging everywhere on the East Road.

Wang Dou is fully qualified to pick and choose, if Zhang Guizhi's law is implemented, in the future, in order to be a soldier, for the future of the family's field, and to govern the military households, he will work hard and fight hard. The value of these new military households was used to the fullest.

With Zhang Gui's head, he must not have thought of such a far-reaching strategy, and Ye Xizhi's high-spirited figure flashed in Wang Dou's mind.

Zhang Gui proposed that if the literati in Tunnei wanted to divide the land, they must change their household registration status. Let Wang Dou show that his group has formed vitality, began to have its own thinking, and took the initiative to propose ways to safeguard the interests of the group and exclude various forces outside the group.

Whether this change is good or bad, Wang Dou needs to wait and see what happens.

On the fifth day of the first month, Wang Za approved Zhang Gui's copywriting and agreed with his camp system, and on the seventh day of the first month, the vigorous Datuntian on the East Road began.

It is said that the three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, set up a tunbao, and reclaim the barren flail... Although Wang Dou no longer built the walls of the forts, the money and grain needed for Tuntian were still astronomical. In the early days, at least a year, hundreds of thousands of people needed to be fed by Wang Dou, which was a very heavy burden.

There is not much silver money and grain and rice in stock everywhere on the east road, but a lot of grain is snatched back, and in Wang Dou's warehouse, the grain and rice are less than 400,000 stones. It is extremely difficult to say how long the food rations of the more than 200,000 people will last. Not to mention the cost of the rest.

In the eyes of his subordinates and outsiders, Wang Dou is like a boy who accumulates wealth, constantly conjuring up grain and rice, but in fact, Wang Dou has words of suffering.

Fortunately, in the war in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Wang Dou not only recaptured a large amount of grain and rice, but also recaptured a lot of silver taels, a lot of cattle and horses, and thousands of satin horses.

The ploughing cattle are now enough for the people of the East Road, but a few years ago, Wang Dou was reminded by Lai Mancheng that the cow would give birth to calves. In the past two years, hundreds of calves have been born from the more than 2,000 farming cattle in Baoan Prefecture.

In this battle, he recaptured a lot of ploughing cattle, and when they multiplied, he no longer had to worry about ploughing cattle.

In the same way, the pigs and sheep themselves are recaptured, and the piglets and lambs are bred in the future as meat. It can well alleviate the demand for food for the military and civilians under his command. It's just that veterinarians are a problem, and although the livestock farm has a lot of talent in various places, there is still a shortage of relevant talents. Particularly good cow and horse scarf are missing. ,

After thinking about it, Wang Dou finally decided that in addition to leaving some ordinary cloth military uniforms, the rest of the silk, raccoon dogs, foxes, leopards and tigers and other skins were sold. There are also horses and mules, in addition to stallions, thousands of war horses remained, and some mules and horses remained, and the rest were all sold.

Of course, Wang Dou would not be so stupid as to accept silver, grain, iron, cloth, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, wood, cotton and other things can be exchanged at equal value. Horses and mules and other goods were sold to the soldiers and civilians of Baoan Prefecture on a priority basis, and each household had 50 acres of land, paid taxes, and after eating and drinking their own rations, every household had some grain in stock.

Especially in these years, the children of their family have joined the army, and they have a lot of rewards and savings. And they went and bought more grain and goods, and they amassed more. It just so happens that these horses are exchanged for grain with them, and some prices are stabilized.

Of course, in order to maintain the hard and simple style of the people in the territory, Wang Dou did not plan to sell those silks, raccoon dogs, foxes, leopards and tigers on the East Road.

In addition, Wang Dou had a large amount of silver in his hands, and planned to find some reliable merchants to buy grain goods from the road on a large scale.

Old White Cow:

Some book friends mentioned the issue of the Ming Dynasty's garrison officials, unlike the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty generals were mostly filled by officials in the guards, so the grade depends on his official position in the guards. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the guard officials were not valuable, so they served as garrisons, a small number of them were guard commanders (Zheng Sanpin), and most of them were in command of the level of enterprises (Zheng Sanpin).

It is 100% impossible to say that the garrison is at the level of the fifth grade, it is just a thousand households and the like, at best, any defense, a fourth-level small fort, which is the Shunxiang Fort managed by Wang Dou in the past. The first-class town town, the second-class road city, the third-class fort city (acropolis), the fourth-class small fort (units such as thousands and hundreds of households), and the fifth-class fire road pier
