The nine-headed bird's martial arts and prestige entry into the city, coupled with the heads of Yunyang officers such as Yang Shixian hanging on the head of the city, gave Yunyang a new understanding of Zhennanhou.

"It is too late for the end to come, and it is a sin to let your lords be disturbed by the rebels."

Liu Jun saw Zhu Dadian standing in front of him in a bright red official robe, hurriedly dismounted, and stepped forward to plead guilty. However, in the eyes of Zhu Dadian and others, Liu Jun's so-called plea is just a polite remark, looking at his appearance, how can he have half of the guilt, or even half of his subordinates.

But the nine-headed bird brought by Liu Jun was strong and strong, but it made it difficult for Zhu Dadian to attack, and he had to put on a smiling face at the moment.

"A group of rebels mutinied, but fortunately Jiye sent troops to quell the rebellion in time, otherwise Yunyang wouldn't know what it would be. It's been a hurry, and it's been hard. Zhu Dadian smiled on his face, looking very kind, and even stroked Liu Jun's hand and asked with concern.

"Thank you for your concern."

In the eyes of the surrounding people, the new governor Lord Zhu and the new chief soldier Liu Houye were very happy to see each other. The governor even invited Liu Zongbing to get into his carriage and enter the city with him.

In the carriage, there were no other bystanders, and Zhu Dadian's face was not so kind.

"Master Hou, your hand is so amazing that Ben Fu was taken aback." Zhu Dadian frowned and said.

"Ben Shuai received nine letters asking for help from adults in one day, and the letters were so urgent, Ben Shuai didn't dare to slack off." Liu Jun replied with a smile, but he claimed to be handsome, and obviously didn't really regard Zhu Dadian as his top boss.

Zhu Dadian was silent.

"What are you going to do with those Yunyang soldiers?" After a period of silence, Zhu Dadian asked.

"Take the opportunity to clean up." Liu Jun said unceremoniously.

Those Yunyang soldiers belong to the battalion, from the guards drawn from each guard and the battalion composed of recruits, the battalion soldiers are different from the guards. At this time in the Ming Dynasty, the guard system had long been abolished, and they could not be counted on to fight at all, so they mainly relied on the battalion soldiers of the conscription system. And many of the soldiers in the battalion are actually from the sturdiness of the guards.

But these battalions in Yunyang are as useless as the guards. Now Liu Jun killed those officers. Naturally, there is no reason to let go of these battalions easily. Of course, Liu Jun did not let go not to kill them, but to use this to clean up and rectify these battalions, check those vacancies and other situations, and then cut those who should be cut and withdrawn, Liu Jun could no longer retain such a establishment of more than 10,000 and keep a pile of waste.

"Just don't make a mess." Zhu Dadian thought about it before he said a word.

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency, the lowly will take care of everything."

Zhu Dadian was silent for a while. He also said, "During the siege of Yamen by the rebels, I once lent 7,000 taels of silver to the treasury to pay to appease the rebels. ”

Liu Jun smiled, "Don't worry, this silver will definitely help you recover it." ”

Zhu Dadian nodded, and then the two of them stopped talking. All the way to the Yamen, the two got out of the car, and they were quite intimate.

Entering the governor's yamen, Liu Jun drank a cup of tea inside. Then he quit and left. Liu Jun returned to the north of the city, where Feng Sheng had cleaned up the barracks for them in advance.

"How's the censorship going?" As soon as Liu Jun entered the official hall, he immediately asked.

"Back to Dashuai, the details of each camp in Yunyang have been clarified. The old number of soldiers was 13,000, horses were 2,000, and the annual military salary was more than 200,000. However, after investigation, the officials in Yunyang were seriously paid empty salaries. In fact, Yunyang has less than 5,000 soldiers, and many of them are too old and weak to use, and they are seriously deducted. Ordnance was also badly damaged. There were less than a thousand horses of 2,000. ”

Patrolling Zodiac Zhou heard it and shook his head again and again. Previously, he also felt that Liu Jun directly listed a group of troublesome soldiers as a rebellion, which was a bit inappropriate, but now when he heard about this situation, he immediately felt that it was not enough for these people to be cut ten times.

"Check the account books clearly, those who are corrupt and deduct their empty salaries, even if they have already been Fa-rectified, must track down the embezzled money and food, and they will have to spit out as much as they eat. Those who are not dead must also be traced clearly, and all the money and food will be recovered, and then whatever crime should be. ”

"What about the soldiers?"

"After finding out, all of them will be dismantled, returned to the various health centers or disbanded and returned to their hometowns." Liu Jun confessed again, "Before retiring, we will truthfully reissue the salary owed to them." ”

Huang Daozhou was a little unwilling to leave it at that, "That's it?" ”

Liu Jun nodded, "It's okay to do this for the time being." But if the patrol is willing to support me, Liu can be brave. After these soldiers are cleared out, we can then check the corruption situation in the various guard posts, and if we can clear out the acres of military cantonment fields that have been usurped by the officers of the various guard posts over the years, and then distribute these cantonment fields to the military households of each guard, then we can greatly change the current situation of the guard posts, and we can not only get the original seed food, but also free many military households from the slavery of the officers. ”

When the zodiac heard it on Monday, his spirit couldn't help but be shocked. Although the guard has long been eroded, the imperial court has not abolished him. Huang Daozhou also has some understanding of the guards, and knows that the tuntian of the guards has basically been occupied by the officers, and most of the military households in the tuntian have become tenant slaves of the officers.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the system of health centers was established and military households were set up in Tuntian. It is to set up a special military household registration, and the imperial court gives those military households fields, and then each military household chooses a regular ding, a surplus ding, and there is still one ding left at home. As a matter of fact, military households are not separated, and there are many families with small families.

In this way, you can choose two Dings to serve, go to the guard to serve, and then the rest of the Dingkou will be registered and farmed. The fields they have left behind are also military households, and the fields they planted have been treated as exempt and exempted from cheap taxes, and the fields they planted are military fields, but not military fields.

In the three campaigns, military households can be exempted from Junyao and miscellaneous, but Lijia is not exempt from regular service, but when calculating Lijia's service, one person from a military household can be exempted from 40 mu.

In addition to the military households of their origins, the selected Zhengding and Yuding had to leave home to serve in the guard. Zhengding and Yu Dingwei served, and they also divided the fields into farming. Each husband and wife will receive 50 acres of land, and in specific cases, there may be more than 150 acres in the northern region, 50 acres in the Central Plains, and more than 10 acres in the Jiangnan region. In general, the total annual yield of the fields received can be from fifty to seventy-five stones.

Those who are in the Tuntian of the guard center are equivalent to building another family in the guard, but their family in their hometown is still a military household, and they must have the surplus registered in the register, and they must be registered every ten years.

Most of the tasks of the soldiers in the guard station are to farm the fields, and they need to pay 12 stone for grain and 12 stone for grain inspection a year. Among them, the 12 stones of grain are handed over for inspection every year, and then returned as rations.

Under normal circumstances, it is equivalent to a family and a couple who only need to pay 12 stone of grain a year for 50 mu of tuntian, and this amount is not harsh. Even if the military households sometimes have to join the Beijing class army or participate in the defense of the city, battles, etc., it is not bad.

It's just that no matter how good the system is, it will eventually deteriorate over time. This is the case with the Ming Dynasty's guard system, and the tuntian was gradually occupied by the officers, and the military households who originally had their own share of the land became tenant farmers of the officers. Even now, with the constant wars, these soldiers had to farm for the officers and serve in the army, and they also had to undertake many works for the imperial court, and many began to flee.

But after they fled, the court would still send people to their hometowns, to their homes to hook the army, that is, if one escaped, one would be recruited from your family to the guard, and the monks who escaped could not escape the temple.

The military households were miserable, but the officers became nobles and big landlords in the army, drinking the blood of soldiers and eating the flesh of soldiers, and making a fortune.

This is a quagmire, it is said that in the accounts of the seed grain depots of the local health centers, whether it is a war or a disaster, the amount of seed grain in the warehouse has not changed, but in fact, everyone knows that it is just an empty account, and when the time comes, no one knows how much seed grain there is. Even many times, it will be found that Curry has no food at all. But no one checks on any term. Because it's good if you don't check everyone, but when you poke it out, the previous accounts are all right, and if you poke it out, then your account won't match.

However, Liu Jun didn't think that this hornet's nest couldn't be poked, and now he could take the opportunity of this Yunyang rebellion to poke this hornet's nest.

Liu Jun really wanted to poke open this hornet's nest, because he wanted to eradicate the tumor of his own guardhouse. He wanted to liberate more military households, so that they would not continue to be slaves of the officers of the military station, but wanted to clear out those tuntian fields and distribute them to those soldiers to continue to work in the tuntian, so that the military households would no longer be poor and destitute, and at the same time there would be food to be handed over.

There are a lot of guards in Yunyang Town, and if they can all be cleaned up, the number of tuntian fields is not 10,000 mu or 20,000 mu, but millions of mu. Even if the amount of grain handed over is 12 stone per 50 mu, it is hundreds of thousands of stone or even more grain grain a year.

However, this hornet's nest is a bit big, and too many people's interests are involved in it. Liu Jun didn't want to poke alone until he had to.

"If Master Hou is worried, then leave this matter to me, as long as Master Hou is willing to pull out some people to support me." Huang Daozhou knew what Liu Jun was afraid of, but he didn't scruple about it, he was a patrol, and he was already responsible for supervision. However, what he needs is Liu Jun's support, as long as Liu Jun, who is holding the soldiers and horses, fully supports him, then he has the confidence to stab.

Liu admired Mr. 's courage, and pointed coldly at Qianfu, although tens of millions of people are also there, this momentum is admirable. Since Mr. is willing to take the lead in the battle, then Liu will naturally follow the guards! ”

Huang Daozhou was very relieved to receive Liu Jun's support and guarantee.

"Okay, let's strike while the iron is hot now and discuss where to start first."

"Sir, Liu thinks that from small to large, from point to surface. Let's first catch these generals of this rebellion, most of these generals are officers transferred from various guards, let's check them one by one, from the battalion to the guards, and lift the lid little by little. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Huang Daozhou felt his whole body stir. (To be continued......)
