Chapter 4: The New King (3)
The new monarch ascended to the pole and changed the Yuan Chenghua, and the Ming Dynasty began at this time, officially revealing the germ of the prosperous era.
In the prosperous era, for the country, there is no war, no need to levy war taxes, and no need to levy Ding Zhuang people.
In this way, the burden of the people will be lighter, the family will be strong, and the farmland will have strong laborers to wait, and life will be able to go on.
In fact, the original Datengxia Rebellion in history, Ding Yi had already swept away ten years ago, and Hou Dagou's corpse had already turned into white bones; In fact, most of the seven days were spent chasing and encircling the remnants of the enemy to avoid wandering, and the formal engagement, the dozen formations added up to only two hours, and even the battalion of the Fourth Ming Division could not get any chance to go into battle.
The original Maolizi rebellion on the grassland does not exist anymore, not only the third division of the Ming Dynasty guarded there, but the Maolizi is also in the Beijing Ming Royal Military Academy, and together with Yexian, he honestly served as a teacher, received the allowance issued by the military academy, and his wife and concubine lived in the courtyard under the supervision of the factory guard, the second division of the Ming Dynasty, the Yamen of the Security Bureau, the Tiandihui, and the Zhongyi Society.
There was no war, land reform was carried out in several places in the south, and the people's lives naturally could not be a thousand miles a day, but they were much better than before (in plain terms, that is, there is hope, and hope can be seen; The gentry of scholars also participated in the industrial revolution, and the railway with Guangdong as the www.biquge.info of Biquge was already being planned. Along the way, many gentry classes, in order to subcontract the project and so on. It's a lot of fun.
And Huguang over there, because of the Nanzhang Rebellion. Seeing the majesty of the militia brigade in Liangguang, and Zhu Yong's dispatch of troops, the money and food asked for made the gentry and scholars quite painful, so in the areas bordering Guangdong, there were also landlords and wealthy households, who took the initiative to reduce rent and interest, and then handed a note to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Four Seas, hoping that they could also send people to preside over the military work and form a militia. So that if there is a bandit, you can protect yourself.
As a result, Du Ziteng and Yang Shousui directly sent them to Beijing to Jinghai County Palace. There is an official document from the Ministry of War, and it is no problem to send troops to quell the chaos, but how dare they decide to establish a people's military system in Huguang?
As a result, the scholar doctor over there in Huguang asked Wang Ao to entrust this matter to Wang Ao.
"If you don't engage in the integration of officials and gentry to pay food and go out to service, how can you form a militia system?" Ding Yi looked at Wang Ao puzzled and asked.
Wang Ao stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Rujin said that he was joking, as long as Liangguang sent some teaching, it would not matter how many silver taels." As soon as the teaching arrived, those mud legs were to be operated according to the rules of the ranks, and they were taught to eat enough and practice with their hearts. Wouldn't it be when you add weapons and firearms? ”
"Mr. Shioyama, what you said. It's probably the Xiang army of the Song Dynasty, right? Ding smiled bitterly when he heard this, it wasn't that he didn't want to help. It's really impossible to get it, and some have no sense of belonging to the country at all. How can peasants who don't even have a job to stabilize themselves and who don't have land to train them in the militia? Come and cheat two full meals to eat, steal a few buns and go home to honor the old lady, right?
Ding Yi had no choice, this Wang Ao was held with a handle back then, but he was the first to support the officials and gentry to pay for food, but this old gentleman didn't understand at all, why the militia of Liangguang could quell the bandits in seven days? Li Tong and Shi Long, but the team that beat the local garrison and guard to cry dad and call mother is definitely not a soft-footed shrimp.
"The people don't know it, but they know the righteousness of the country? Can the old gentleman know that the illiteracy rate in the militia of Liangguang is basically less than three percent now? Generally speaking, those who are still participating in militia training in their spare time in the second year can write simple letters, and most of the illiterate people are young people who have just responded to the reserve in the first year. ”
"I don't know the righteousness of the country, they go to eat together, they just have lazy ideas, and if they practice it, what combat power do they have?"
Wang Ao stroked his beard and said: "Then I know that with great righteousness, the old man will teach Huguang over there, and gather some talents and the like......"
Zhu Yong led his troops over, and it was scraped very hard, and it is said that the silver boxes and antiques transported back to Liangguang were loaded with hundreds of four-wheeled carriages.
In this era, people like to exaggerate the strength of troops, thinking that the more soldiers are stronger, Ding Yi's subordinates are not used to doing this, five thousand is five thousand, as a result, Zhu Yong led the army back to Liangguang, Huguang was really jumping to his feet and scolding: "The military discipline of the broken soldiers in Liangguang is excellent, this gold is expensive!" Isn't it 5,000 soldiers? Is this soldier made of gold? ”
There is no land reform, and there is no industrial base, that is to say, if you don't farm, you can't live, and the people themselves don't have land. Who knows when there will be civil unrest? Went to Liangguang to borrow troops again? Let's shave the meat again?
So they want to engage in a militia system, and they can't let the two Guangxi sides scrape the flesh like this.
The determination is very strong, so when Wang Ao heard that the militia was literate, he proposed to let those talents and the like teach them, but they were all paid by the squires anyway.
Ding Yi shook his head, and patiently said to Wang Ao: "When you know the righteousness, the people will ask, whose country and this China belong to." ”
"Why can the militia of Liangguang fight? Because they don't train lazy! ”
"Why not be lazy? It's not that Ding really has any mana, but that Liangguang has their own land, or a factory where he has a job. They know that defending the country is not a slogan, and if they don't practice, their land, their jobs, their women, and their homes will be ruined. ”
"They entered Huguang to quell the chaos because if Huguang continues to be chaotic, it will inevitably cause disaster to the two Guangzhous, and they enter Huguang to quell the chaos, which is to serve the country and protect the safety of their hometown."
Having said this, Wang Ao understood it: "That is, if you don't engage in the integration of officials and gentry to pay food, then the army will be successful and courageless?" ”
"Mr. Shioyama is wise, that's it."
Wang Ao didn't say anything more, a person of this level, the reason and logic were straightened out, and he naturally knew that it was not a question of whether Ding Yi was willing to help or not, but that land reform was really the crux of the problem, so he also talked a few words about the political situation, and got up and resigned.
Ding sent someone out of the house all the way, Liu Ji watched Wang Ao's sedan chair go away, and said to Ding: "Sir, the master's teacher is traveling far away, I'm afraid it's better to send it away." "The master is referring to Ding Yi, and the master's teacher is Yu Qian.
"Thankfully, Yuzhi reminds, hurry up and prepare the horse!" Ding Yi patted his forehead, there were too many things, his mind was spinning almost all day long, it wasn't Liu Ji who said it, he forgot that Yu Qian was going to go to sea.
With the implementation of the constitution and the ascension of the new monarch to the throne, the establishment of the regimental battalion began to be officially abolished, that is to say, Yu Qian's original military power did not even exist in form, and the three divisions formed by the original army of the regimental battalion, together with the second division of the Ming Dynasty, are now in the hands of the British Gongzhang Mao. When Jing Tainian and Zhu Jianshen experienced white eyes, wind and rain in the palace, in addition to Ding Yi's tiger skin banner, he was also close to Wan Zhen'er and Zhang Mao, and he also had great trust in the British duke.
Therefore, Yu Qian agreed to Ding Yi's request and was willing to go overseas with his family, so Ding Yi invited the imperial court, after the constitutional and religious ministries were discussed, the cabinet drafted the will, and Yu Qian took the crown prince Shaobao, hung the title of secretary of the military department, and the governor of the Ming Dynasty and the Mediterranean Metropolitan Protectorate of the Mediterranean Prefecture, and also supervised the official affairs of the canal.
Originally, the establishment of the capital protection mansion in the Ming Dynasty did not exist, but now even the army has been changed to a division, brigade and regiment battalion, and the territory of the Ming Dynasty is really much larger than before, so according to the Tang system, there is no objection to the establishment of the capital protection mansion, and the six departments have no objection. The yamen was located in Cairo, and when Yu Qian passed, Xu Bin was able to return to China.
Today is the day of Yu Qian's trip, this old gentleman is tough, a few doses of penicillin, and listened to Ding Yi's persuasion, get up in the morning and jog, and now there is no problem with horseback riding. The officialdom and the people of Beijing are privately circulating that "Rongcheng judges yin and yang, and medicine and doctors do not die!" "It's Zhang Yu and Yingzong, they all used this medicine, and they all went, but the old gentleman was cured, plus he exercised, and his asthma basically stopped, so I was afraid that there would be no pressure to live for at least one or two decades.
"Sir, the carriage is ready." Liu Ji soon came over and said to Ding Yi.
Ding Yi frowned and said, "What carriage to take?" Although he made a four-wheeled carriage, he didn't really like it.
"Sir, it's better not to ride a horse, otherwise I'm afraid that I won't see it, and it will inevitably be a little bit of a whisper." Shao Bao wants to go to sea, and he can't be taught to worry about his husband. Liu Ji said with a smile.
The four-wheeled carriage, which can also raise mild steel plates, and has a hand-cranked machine gun and a thousand-round ammunition chain hidden in the back of the carriage, can be said to be the highest new technology in this era. Dan Ding Yi doesn't like it very much, he still prefers to ride a horse, but there are many unsafe factors in riding a horse, so Liu Jicai said that Yu Qian will also reprimand when he sees it.
Ding Yi had no choice but to obey, got into the carriage, and the fat man led the cuirassiers riding Arab thoroughbred horses, which were extremely powerful and majestic to guard the left and right; and a detachment of light horsemen was sent ahead to open the way; There was also a group of dragoons, that is, mounted infantry pushing machine guns and baseless mortars.
Want to travel on WeChat? Ding Yi will only have this opportunity in the storytelling.
However, before the chariot drove to the city gate, he only heard the cuirassiers on the left pull the bolt of their guns and shout: "Stop! ”
"I'm Wan Zhen'er! I have 100,000 urgent things to see sir! But he heard the comer answer.
Wen Fatzi came over to report, and Ding nodded and motioned for Wan Zhen'er to get in the car.
She was obviously in a hurry, her face was flushed, but when she got into the car, she nervously lowered her voice and said to Ding: "Sir, take Zhen'er away!" Zhen'er will be obedient! ”
Ding Yi feels that his brain is not enough, what is going on? Zhu Jianshen has ascended the throne, this Wan Zhen'er looks like she is being persecuted, does the queen want to make a palace change? (To be continued......)
