Chongzhen 8th year, December.

Zhao Han's military and political systems were adjusted at the same time.

In terms of government affairs, that is, the administrative division is reset, not only to reduce the number of towns in each county, but also to demarcate the prefecture and county according to the actual control of the territory.

There are still only two provinces-

Ji'an Prefecture temporarily governs seven counties: Luling, Jishui, Anfu, Taihe, Yongfeng, Wan'an, and Longquan.

Linjiang Prefecture temporarily governs six counties: Qingjiang, Xingan, Xiajiang, Xinyu, Fenyi, and Fengcheng.

These are temporary and will definitely need to be adjusted in the future.

In terms of military affairs, the military has been expanded.

The Military Affairs Yuan was reformed accordingly and was divided into three courts: South, North, and Water.

Huang Mi served as the governor of the northern province, and the military jurisdiction was Linjiang Prefecture.

Fei Ruhe served as the governor of the southern region, and the military jurisdiction was Ji'an Prefecture.

Gu Jianshan served as the chief of the water and the chief of the water division.

At the same time, the upper limit of officers who can be promoted by the Military Council is raised to the rank of Sentinel (about 100 soldiers). For officers above the rank of sentry, the Military Affairs Council can only recommend candidates for formal appointment, and only with the approval of the Military Affairs Department can they be formally appointed.

With the growth of the army, this ceiling will be raised in the future, and Li Banghua believes that it will rise to the general at most. That is to say, officers with a command of less than 1,000 people can be promoted by the Military Academy; Generals commanding 1,000 or more troops must obtain the approval of the Military Affairs Department (Ministry of War).

Missionaries in the army were separated from the Department of Missions (Ministry of Rites) and merged into the system of the Department of Military Affairs (Ministry of War).

In the future, military merit evaluations will be recorded and reported by military propaganda and instructors.

This time it was plundered by Yang Jiamo, and a series of rewards and punishments for the battle were also announced after verification.

The peasants and soldiers of Qingjiang County have made great contributions in holding back the main force of the enemy army.

Yang Mo, a missionary officer, was not afraid of strong enemies and died bravely. Five acres of land and ten taels of silver. Because he had never married a wife, with the consent of Yang Mo's brother, he succeeded a nephew as an heir.

Xiao Zongxian commanded well, jumped from the chief to the sentry chief, gave three acres of land, five taels of silver, and a pair of armor.

Hu Dinggui, the head of the peasant soldiers, was brave and good at fighting, and when he was about to be defeated, he was the first to charge, killing two Jiading alone, and killing one Jiading together. Now he is promoted to the captain of the regular army, giving three acres of land, five taels of silver, and a pair of armor.

The rest of the peasant soldiers who fought to the end were all turned into regular soldiers, and they were given two acres of land and a silver tael.

The peasants and soldiers who died in the war were all given five acres of land and ten taels of silver. Those who have no heirs can adopt and pass on to continue the martyr's incense.

The peasants and soldiers who escaped from the battle were all fined one acre of land and served in the county seat for two months every year. During the service, there were only rations, no salary, and the service lasted until five years.

Although Zhao Han's army had clear rewards and punishments, it was very cautious about giving fields.

This was the first time that a field was given on a large scale, because it was too difficult to fight at that time. A group of peasant soldiers who had only been trained for more than two months, holding very primitive weapons, facing hundreds of iron-clad family members, rushed forward with bows and arrows, which was simply a military miracle.

You have to set an example!

As for Cida, after repeated discussions, the result was finally discussed.

Whether it is an official or a soldier, if he obtains special merits, he can be given additional land.

Ordinary people, fighting floods and droughts, building water conservancy, and reclaiming wasteland, can get points every time they work, and they can be given land if the points reach certain conditions. For example, in Wuxing Town, many people were given an acre of land, which they earned through their labor.

However, a person can have up to 100 acres of land in his name.

If this amount is reached, no matter how meritorious he has been, he will not be rewarded with acres of land. You can be promoted, you can reward money, but you can't appreciate the field.

The twenty-first day of the lunar month.

Zhao Han led the civil and military generals to go out from the northwest gate of Ji'an Prefecture, and more than 200 soldiers followed with the martyrs' tablets.

The temple on Zhenjun Mountain, construction began at the beginning of the year, and now it has been rebuilt into the Heroic Soul Temple.

Temples, which existed in the pre-Qin period, were places dedicated to gods or ancestors, and were not exclusive to the Buddha and monks.

Since Zhao Han started his army, a total of 216 soldiers have been sacrificed. Including those who followed Zhao Han to send troops in winter and fell ill halfway, they were also counted as sacrifices. There are also sailors who fell into the Gan River in a fierce battle and were washed away and disappeared, which also belonged to sacrifice.

In the past, the martyrs' tablets were enshrined in Yongyang Town, and the ancestral halls of large households were borrowed, but now they are all moved over.

The bodies were buried in their hometowns, and the Heroic Soul Temple only enshrined tablets.

The road was solemn, there was no music, and everyone stepped on the snow to go up the mountain.

There were also many people who took the initiative to come and see the excitement, but they didn't dare to talk nonsense when they saw this situation.

Before coming to the Heroic Soul Temple, there was already a temple blessing to greet him.

The unlicensed monks in the temple have long been ordered to return to the world. The monks with certificates were thrown to Qingyuan Temple in Jishui County.

Zhao Han treats monks and Taoist priests equally, and does not discriminate against any of them, provided that they don't go too far.

The temple of the Heroic Soul Temple is a few wounded and disabled soldiers. Their whole family moved over, and the acres of land were also divided in Zhenjun Mountain, and they could receive a salary, which was responsible for cleaning and sprinkling incense for the martyrs.

Hu Dinggui is holding a tablet at the moment, he is his neighbor and the peasant soldier under his command. Hu Dinggui didn't shed tears, just walked up the mountain road, recalling many past events.

In fact, there is nothing to remember, the owner of this tablet often bullies him, after all, he is an orphan who grew up with his uncle.

At this moment, in Hu Dinggui's mind, only the picture of the charge that day remained.

More than 200 tablets were placed in the main hall one after another.

Zhao Han didn't say a word, only stood solemnly in front of the temple, and with the shouts of the temple blessing, he knelt down in the snow and bowed.

It is forbidden to bow down, only to kneel.

Heaven and earth can kneel, ancestors can kneel, parents can kneel. If you insist on kowtowing to the teacher, as long as you don't get involved in the official position, no one will stop you.

Many readers, including Pang Chunlai and Li Banghua, are in a very twisted mood at the moment. They have no good impression of generals and soldiers, not only because civilian officials despise martial artists, but also because of what martial artists have done for thousands of years.

Correspondingly, there were the soldiers present, all of whom were moved inexplicably, and a few even burst into tears.

"Doot Dot ~~~~~"

The suona repeatedly blew the military horn, Hu Dinggui knelt on the ground, and when he heard this horn, he suddenly wanted to stand up and charge.

"Rite over!"

Zhao Han slowly stood up and led everyone down the mountain.

Back in the city, Zhao Han called Hu Dinggui and directly called him to his house for dinner.

Hu Dinggui, who was brave and fearless on the battlefield, was cramped and uneasy in the face of Zhao Han, sitting there like a nail on his buttocks.

"Don't be afraid," Zhao Han smiled, "I heard that you were only fifteen years old, and you killed three family members with your own hands?" ”

Hu Dinggui replied: "Sixteen years old. I actually only killed two, and the other was pressed by someone else, and I stabbed him to death with a spear. ”

Zhao Han asked again: "Have you ever read a book?" ”

"My father is literate and taught me some, and I can memorize the "Three Character Classic". Hu Dinggui said.

Zhao Han smiled and said: "After this military and political adjustment, as long as there is no war, the regular soldiers will rest every five days, and the army will hold a workshop. Classes are free, learn more literacy first, and arithmetic is also extremely important. ”

Hu Dinggui nodded hurriedly: "Well, I know." ”

There are four main categories of military workshops: Datong thought, literacy, arithmetic, and history.

History is not a serious history, only telling all kinds of small stories, such as Su Wu shepherding sheep, Ban Chaoding the Western Regions, Huo Quai, and the wolf Juxu.

Zhao Han took out a copy of "Datong Collection": "This book is for you." ”

"Okay." Hu Dinggui took it with both hands and carefully put it into his arms.

……

Nanchang.

Governor Li Maofang was going crazy, and the local gentry were actively recruiting, and even in the Ruizhou Mansion and Nankang Mansion next door, there were many gentry who spontaneously recruited troops to help in the war.

The gentry can also see that it is impossible to defeat Zhao Han by relying on the power of the government alone.

As a result, a few chose to take the initiative to join Zhao Han, and many chose to recruit troops to help fight the war. Among them, there are many people who take this as an opportunity to gain military merits by defeating Zhao Han, and the imperial court may be able to seal the official.

In just one month, the strength in Li Maofang's hands has swelled to more than 20,000!

is full of newly recruited villagers, who can't fight at all, but has to eat every day, Li Maofang doesn't know whether to be happy or worried.

If it goes on like this, there is no need for thieves to attack the city, and Li Maofang himself will collapse, because his food cannot support so many soldiers.

Alas, it is still Wang Ting's attempt to reassure people, worthy of being a member of the imperial court, and the two thousand townsmen in the hands of others will raise food by themselves. What are the other gentry doing? Only brought a small amount of rations, even if he was dismissed immediately, Li Maofang would have to get a severance ration.

"Report !!"

Li Maofang also had spies in Ji'an Province, delivering news through merchant ships.

When he opened the secret letter, Li Maofang was suddenly shocked.

Longquan and Wan'an rebelled against the thieves, took the initiative to take refuge in Luling Zhao Yan, and the two sides also joined forces to take Taihe County. Then, after the death of Yongfeng Zhixian, the main book and the history of the book were dedicated to the soil with a thousand elites.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Han expanded his army to 8,000 regular soldiers, and there were countless peasant soldiers.

Due to the relative closure of the army, hundreds of Goose Lake soldiers were scattered and enlisted, and there was no information about Zhao Han's coming from Lead Mountain for the time being.

8,000 regular soldiers, countless peasant soldiers......

Li Maofang only felt that his scalp was numb, he had seen Zhao Han's army and knew how strong the other party's combat strength was. And I also knew that Yang Jiamo's hundreds of families were dragged by a group of peasant soldiers and did not evacuate in time.

Then the Zhao thief is expanding the army like this, there will be changes within half a year, how can Nanchang City be defended at that time?

Well, with an iron heart to defend, Nanchang is estimated to be able to hold it, but it is only useful to hold it!

The imperial court kept urging and urging Li Maofang to quickly recover the lost land, and even asked him to set a time limit for recovering the lost land.

That's right, set deadlines!

The officers and soldiers of the five provinces encircled and suppressed the rogues, and there was also a time limit, which was equivalent to the governor making a military order for himself. This summer, due to the approaching deadline, Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, had to march hard.

In fact, it was fought everywhere, scattered into countless units for transfer, and it was difficult for a governor of the five provinces to deal with, so Lu Xiangsheng was made the prime minister of the five provinces.

The Governor is in charge of the Northwest Theater of Operations, and the Prime Minister is in charge of the Southeast Theater.

As for Li Maofang, he still has one year to set for himself to suppress bandits......

Approaching the Chinese New Year, Li Maofang once again obtained information that there seemed to be only more than 1,000 anti-thief defenders left in Fengcheng County, and the anti-thief sailors were nowhere to be found.

Do you want to send troops to take it back, so that you can recover the city once?

Li Maofang thought about it, but he still didn't dare to do it, he had already been beaten out of the psychological shadow.

But no matter what, it's good news, at least the thieves won't attack Nanchang in the short term.

Li Maofang announced that the rebels had withdrawn from the army, took out a severance pay, and asked the newly recruited villagers to go home for the New Year, and let the gentry train their own troops in the countryside, and then gather troops to fight when the rebels came.

According to the imperial history Chen Yuding, the sixth impeachment of Li Maofang was also sent out along the Yangtze River at this moment, and it is estimated that Chongzhen will receive a surprise during the Lantern Festival.
