In the eyes of discerning people, Zhao Han has rebelled.

Killing a few squires can only be regarded as bandits; If you don't pay the land tax and liao salary, you can only be regarded as resisting taxes.

Changing towns and villages is really a rebellion!

The towns and villages of the Ming Dynasty were only the names of settlements and had no administrative significance.

Strictly calculated, only in the town and its surroundings, the more than 30 households are counted as Huangjia Town, and there are only two or three hundred people when they are full. Therefore, Huangjia Town is just a small town.

In the rest of the places, according to the Li Jia system, there are about 30 li and more than 300 A (the government does not report so much, because there are a large number of hidden accounts). According to the metropolitan map system, there are 2 metropolises and 24 diagrams.

Zhao Han directly changed the administrative division of the imperial court, abolished the Lijia system and the capital map system, and set the territory in his hand as Wuxing Town, with a central village and three natural villages.

From this point of view alone, Zhao Hannai is the first thief of the Ming Dynasty!

The peasant armies of southern Jiangxi and western Fujian were united and confronted the government for several years. The peasant armies of Shaanxi and Shanxi have already invaded Beizhili and are about to flow to Sichuan and Henan.

The above rebel armies have made such a big commotion, and no one has changed their administrative divisions.

Zhao Han and his rebel counterparts in the provinces have shown essential differences, which can be regarded as a mudslide in the peasant army.

Ordinary peasant households dispersed one after another, leaving only more than 500 young and strong.

"Jiang Dashan!" Zhao Han shouted.

"In!"

Jiang Dashan is out of the ranks.

Zhao Han said: "You are hereby appointed as the head of Wuxing Village. ”

Jiang Dashan was overjoyed and thanked that Wuxing Village belonged to the central village and was the most important of the four villages.

"Huang Qi, appoint you as the head of Shanghuang Village."

"Huang Shun, appoint you as the head of Xiahuang Village."

"Li Zheng, appoint you as the head of Lijia Village."

The first followers, they were given only a little more land than the other farmers. The official position is the compensation for them, and the village chief can receive two buckets of rice per month!

(According to the "Research on the Yield of Grain per Mu in China in Past Dynasties", one stone is about 153.5 catties, and two buckets of rice are 30 catties.) There is also a saying that one stone is 120 catties, which may be calculated with a small bucket. ）

In addition, due to the shortage of talents, these four people also have military positions.

Five people in a team, ten people in a team, fifty people in a squad, a hundred people in a team.

Zhang Tieniu, Jiang Dashan, Huang Qi, Huang Shun, and Li Zheng were all appointed as captains.

Among them, Zhang Tieniu led more than 100 people and was classified as a pacesetter under the direct management of Zhao Han.

From the middle of Jiajing to the early years of Chongzhen, the main force of the Ming army was actually the pacesetters of the provinces, not the families of the generals.

The pacesetter system was born out of the battalion system and was pioneered by the famous minister Weng Wanda.

That is, the governor, the governor, the general soldier, the deputy general soldier, and the general, because the army is unusable, so the pacesetters are selected to train and command personally, which is not contrary to the guard system and the battalion system. The logistics of the pacesetters are also personally responsible for these commanders, and the number of pacesetters ranges from hundreds to tens of thousands.

Weng Wanda has commanded tens of thousands of pacesetters, and as a civil servant, his military strength is proud of the nine sides.

Even in many southern provinces, the governor (governor) had a quota of pacesetters.

It's very interesting, looking at the whole country, only the governor and the chief soldier of Jiangxi are not qualified to recruit pacesetters, and the scorpion is the only one...... This is also Zhao Han's advantage.

Huguang next door is also weak, Huguang Governor Fu and the general army, not to recruit pacesetters, but Xunyang Governor has a small quota of pacesetters.

At the end of the second year of Chongzhen, the provincial armies entered the king of Beijing Qinwang, and the main force was the pacesetters from all over the country.

They are the last elite of the Ming army, and most of them were directly tossed to the point that most of them were defeated, and the next war could only rely on the hard work of the family.

Of course, the pacesetter system has not completely collapsed.

Historically, King Gao Yingxiang was captured by Sun Chuanting's pacesetters.

The first two batches of those who followed Zhao Han were all appointed to military positions, and they were all exceptionally compensated.

Zhao Han announced: "Tuan Yong has no food to get, but during the training, he will take care of the food, and during the war, he will have a promotion fee and a salary!" ”

Because he was afraid of encirclement and suppression by the government, Zhao Han temporarily stopped engaging in ideological work and had to concentrate all his efforts on military training.

"Squad leader and above, all the singles stand up!" Zhao Han said.

Immediately stood up twelve, including Jiang Dashan, Li Zheng, Huang Mi and Huang Shun, and they really dared to make trouble without worrying.

Zhao Han asked, "Do you want to ask for a daughter-in-law?" ”

"Yes!"

Rarer replied.

Zhao Han asked, "Do you want to please your daughter-in-law, be louder!" ”

"Yes!" Everyone roared.

Zhao Han immediately asked Chen Maosheng to bring people over, all of whom were unmarried maids and widows from large families.

Zhao Han tore up the deed of sale on the spot and said to the women: "You are free, you can choose to go home." You can also stay in my house, and I will re-sign the short-term contract for you. Whether you are returning home or want to stay and work, you can choose a husband. Of course, you can also choose not to choose. If you want to get married, stand up! ”

The big girls and the little widows all looked restrained and uneasy, and none of them took the initiative to come forward.

Zhao Han said again: "If you want to get married, I will send half a stone of grain as a congratulatory gift on the spot!" ”

"I ...... I ......"

At last a widow spoke up and said, "I have a son, who is two years old this year." ”

This widow is the widow of Master Huang's henchman.

Zhao Han asked, "Who wants to raise a cheap son?" ”

The nine bachelors looked at each other, and after making eye contact, a squad leader stepped out: "I do." ”

The cheap son is also surnamed Huang, and he doesn't need to change his surname.

Zhao Han asked the widow again: "Are you willing to marry him?" ”

The widow looked at the team leader, although this person was ugly, but he was relatively strong, so she nodded with a red face and did not speak.

The gentry only talk about chastity, and the people at the bottom have a lot to worry about, and they can get a wife smoothly, and they will be content if they can eat a full meal.

"Good!"

Zhao Han said with a smile: "You are a family, and you used to receive half a stone of grain as a wedding gift." ”

The captain just smirked and dragged the widow behind him, as if he were afraid that someone else would rob her. If the government sends troops to requisition, this guy can risk his life to fight with the officers and soldiers for the sake of the land, his wife and son.

Seeing that they had formed a new family and that they had food to take, the other men and women were ready to move.

Zhao Han continued to ask the maid and the widow: "Who still wants to get married?" ”

Immediately, more than 20 people stood up, and only a few were still unable to pull their faces.

Huang Qi suddenly said, "Master Zhao, can I choose one first?" ”

Zhao Han was very serious to Huang Mi and said, "You choose." ”

Huang Qi said to a maid: "Sister, come with me." ”

The maid wept and nodded, and the more she cried, the louder she became.

Zhao Han called Jiang Dashan over and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”

Jiang Dashan replied: "Huang Mi and this person's sister are on good terms, and they are both married, and they are ...... by Huang Lao was robbed by Huang Zundao's son to be a concubine, and was later beaten to death by his wife. Huang Mi's sister was also killed by Master Huang. ”

"Alas, they are all hard-working people," Zhao Han sighed and said, "and you go and get food." ”

Huang Mi was not in a hurry to receive the food, but knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Master Zhao, my Huang Mi's cheap life will be the master's in the future." When will I die, even if the ward says yes! ”

"Good brother, get up!" Zhao Han hurriedly helped Huang Mi up.

Huang Qi's eyes were moist, he couldn't hold back his tears, and took his wife to get food.

Zhao Han didn't talk about equality for everyone, and said to Jiang Dashan, Huang Shun, and Li Zheng: "You also go and choose a daughter-in-law." ”

The three of them were overjoyed and each chose one.

Zhang Tieniu's eyes were a little hot, he was almost thirty years old, and he still hadn't started a family, so he couldn't help but say, "Childe...... I ......"

Zhao Han smiled: "You also choose." ”

Zhang Tieniu had a goal in mind for a long time, and he didn't choose a young and good-looking one, and directly selected a widow in her twenties.

Big butt and easy to raise.

Zhang Tieniu didn't ask the widow if she was willing, but got straight to the point: "Do you have a child?" ”

"Two sons." The widow was a little scared, because Zhang Tieniu was too fierce.

"I don't dislike it, and I will be surnamed Zhang in the future." Zhang Tieniu immediately had two more cheap sons.

The widow's father-in-law is Huang Sanshui, and the body is still there. Her husband, who is also a henchman, was killed a few days ago, and the grass on his grave has just grown.

Equality?

Let's put it aside!

There is always a compromise between theory and practice, and the main problem now is to deal with the encirclement and suppression of the government, and it is necessary to gain the loyalty of these "officers" as soon as possible.

The team leader and above have all finished dividing their wives, and Zhao Han asked Shi Chang to choose his wife.

Xiaocui and Xiaohong, no one dares to choose.

Zhao Han asked Chen Maosheng: "You don't choose one?" ”

Chen Maosheng grinned: "I'm still young, I'll talk about it later." ”

The "officers" who did not receive wives were each given two buckets of grain as compensation, and promised to find wives for them in the future.

The other officers, who were not singles, also received a bucket of food each.

Ordinary soldiers, each receiving half a bucket of food, is considered their enlistment fee.

The wife and the food were sent out, and the miscellaneous soldiers immediately became energetic and no longer thought about deserting home.

……

Inside the Huang Clan Ancestral Hall.

Pang Chunlai sat cross-legged on the ground with a sword, and in front of him were two tutors, one from the Huang family private school and the other from the Li family private school.

"You can also see that Master Zhao is going to rebel," Pang Chunlai threatened, "You can escape, or you can go to the official." But if you dare to leave this place, your whole family will die, and your land will be taken away. In the future, the Huang Family Ancestral Hall will be changed to Wuxing Private School, so you can follow me to teach. ”

The two teachers had bitter faces, and neither dared to say no.

"Jiangxi is worthy of the peak of literary style," Pang Chunlai said with emotion, "Many villages and towns in Xuanhua Township are very remote, and there has been a champion, a tanhua, and more than a dozen jinshi." It's hard to imagine. ”

The two teachers still didn't dare to speak.

The champion in Pang Chunlai's mouth came from the mountains, that is, where Fei Yinghui is now a bandit.

It is precisely because of the champions, tanhua and many jinshi that the land annexation in these villages has intensified, and there are not many yeoman farmers. Either the big landlords or the small landlords who were separated, and the ordinary peasants were all reduced to tenants!

In Huangjia Town and the surrounding villages, the three Huang and Li families control 90% of the cultivated land, and the remaining 10% is also occupied by their clansmen.

With a total population of more than 4,000, the young and strong male servants of the four families add up to more than 150 people, and they can be converted into thugs at any time!

This is nothing, according to historical records, it is not uncommon for the wealthy family in Jiangnan at the end of the Ming Dynasty to occupy millions of acres of land. In that kind of place, you can't find yeoman farmers with different surnames, all landlords and tenants.

is like a tumor, inexhaustible, dragging Daming alive.
