Song Chengwen asked rhetorically for the first time, don't the three guards of the Han Dynasty have a station? Why did you come to my Quang Nam province?

The herald said: "These are the tenants of His Royal Highness the King of Han, not the guards and horses. ”

Song Chengwen has nothing to say now.

Hong Zheng was originally a subordinate of Wu Jie of the Southern Army, and the first group to surrender followed Zhu Gaoxu.

After the martyrdom, he became the commander of one of Zhu Gaoxu's three guards.

Hong Zheng was very good at fighting, otherwise Zhu Gaoxu would not have taken a fancy to him.

Zhu Gaoxu only planted sugarcane in Tuntian in Guangnan, Xinping, and Yunzhou, and first used Hong Zheng, which proved that he was very interested in his ability.

came with Hong Zheng, as well as the commander Zhao Qing (formerly Zhu Gaoxu's personal soldiers).

The two brought 1,000 Han Wang's three guards, and then near Yunnan Mansion, they recruited more than 3,000 Han Wangfu tenants.

The population of Yunnan was originally not much, the Han people who had been in Tuntian here for several years, all immigrated from other provinces of the Ming Dynasty during the Hongwu period in the early Ming Dynasty, most of them were military households, and there were also a small number of people.

When Hong Zheng was recruited, because the conditions were very good, both military households and civilian households participated.

Now the Han Dynasty Mansion levied tenants, and the Tuntian was held for life after three years, and it was a Yongye field that did not need to be paid.

The Han King has an index of one million acres of land, but in fact, most of it is Zhu Di's empty check, because Zhu Gaoxu himself is required to come out in Yunnan.

Now Zhu Gaoxu is using this indicator to attract tenants, and the benefit of tax-free Yongye Land alone is very attractive.

The Han Wangfu also issued an announcement that each household was in the name of the tenant for the Han Wangfu Tuntian, and five years later it was owned by it, and it was tax-free for generations, and the same evidence was established as evidence.

In fact, this field is forever in the name of the Han Dynasty, but it is planted by the tenants, and it is tax-free for generations, and all the income goes to the tenants.

Because the tenants are not exempt from taxes, only the king of Han can be exempted.

Therefore, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, many ordinary people could not survive because of heavy taxes, so they sold their fields to the landlords and gentry, and then helped the landlords and gentry to farm, and they could also get the qualification of the landlord and gentry for tax exemption.

This is also a method used by many people in the middle and late Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty to avoid taxes.

Now Zhu Gaoxu is just using it in advance.

For military households and ordinary people, the most difficult thing to bear is their land tax.

Now the king of Han is exempting them from taxes in the name of the vassal king, and they only need to help the king of Han plant for five years, where can I find such a good thing?

As a result, Hong Zheng's more than 3,000 Tuntian civilian military households were recruited in less than a month.

Accompanying Hong Zheng to Guangnan Mansion, there is also Sun Lin's son Sun Cheng, who will be responsible for the management of the tun people, and will be attached to the Guangnan Mansion officials, in fact, to help Hong Zheng do things.

In addition, the original Han Wangfu guarded more than 1,000 military households, which were transferred from Zheng Xiang's hands.

There are about 20,000 people from these more than 4,000 households, and they have come to Quang Nam Province.

Because of the decree of the Chief Minister, the Yamen of the Quang Nam Prefect also had to fully cooperate.

Song Chengwen sent people to follow Hong Zheng and Sun Cheng, ran a few back and forth on the east and west lines of the Xiyang River, and finally circled more than 300,000 acres of land, which was sandwiched with a large number of mountains.

But this is already a relatively good area in Yunnan, with the natural Xiyang River on the side, and there are many plains.

Hong Zheng divided more than 4,000 households into 40 groups, and each 15 households chose one place to build a tun fort, which was led by 100 households, but he was called the head of the fort to prove that it was a people's tun, not a military tun.

Each fort drew 100 strong men into an army, mainly for training, and the rest of the strong men and their families had fields and planted sugar cane.

The plains are used for farming, and the dry land between the mountains is used to grow sugarcane.

Ordinary sugarcane is better for paddy fields, but for sugar production, it is necessary to grow sugarcane on dry land.

Ganshu is still very suitable for the weather here in Yunnan, especially in the area of Quang Nam near Annam, which is very suitable for growing sugarcane.

However, Zhu Gaoxu's cultivation of sugarcane and cultivation of grain in the tuntian fields were only superficial efforts, and the real reason was military training.

In half a year, he recruited four or five thousand households in Guangnan Province, Tan Binh County, and Yunzhou, adding up to tens of thousands of people.

There were forty forts in each place, and each fort had more than a hundred households.

Among them, there will be a hundred strong families to form an army.

As long as there is a war, 4,000 soldiers and horses can be formed at any time in each place.

Three places can form 12,000 soldiers and horses.

But the sudden arrival of so many Han Chinese in Quang Nam Province shocked Nong Lang Kim.

The current situation of the Ming Dynasty in Yunnan is mainly divided into three parts.

One is a region dominated by the Han nationality, and the system is the same as that of the Central Plains. This is the place where the Ming Dynasty's rule is the most solid, these places are very few, that is, near Kunming County, Yunnan Prefecture, auxiliary shooting around Wuding Mansion, Zhengjiang Mansion, Chuxiong Mansion, Yunnan Mansion, Qujing Military and Civil Mansion, Xundian Military and Civilian Mansion, etc., which is regarded as the core area of the Ming Dynasty, accounting for only about one-tenth of the area of the local Yunnan Province.

The other is a mixed area of soil flows, where ethnic groups include Han Chinese and ethnic minorities. There are both Fuzhou counties and Tusi here, which belong to the mixed area, including Dali Mansion, Guangnan Mansion, Yongning Mansion, Lijiang Prefecture, Yuanjiang Mansion and so on, these places are mixed areas.

Finally, there is an area dominated by ethnic minorities, also known as the Bondage Zone. There is only the Tusi system here, which belongs to the autonomous prefecture, the power is relatively large, and it is also the place where the control of the Ming Dynasty is relatively weak, such as Cheli, Mubang, Mengyang, Eight Hundred Dadian, etc., these are the feudal areas of the Ming Dynasty, the Tusi system is relatively strong, and the control of the Ming Dynasty is very weak, or even almost none, and this area is the largest area in Yunnan now.

Quang Nam Province originally belonged to the mixed area, and the number of Han people was still small, and the Nong clan had more people.

Unexpectedly, Hong Zheng suddenly brought nearly 20,000 horses, so that the number of Han people was almost the same as that of the local natives, Nong Langjin suddenly panicked, he didn't know what the Ming people wanted to do, but no matter what they did, he didn't want so many Han people on his ground.

Historically, the Nong clan continued to rule the local area hereditarily, experienced the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, and slowly weakened after the Republic of China.

Now the Ming army suddenly entered with great fanfare, which made Nong have a strong sense of crisis.

But he can't help it for a while, can't he fight like Nong Zhenyou?

The Ming people didn't do anything, so they came to Tuntian, and you have no reason to raise troops.

Nong Langjin can only wait and see what happens.

I saw that after the Ming people arrived, they began to build a large number of buildings, selected various important places, built tunbao, and guarded the key points.

Quang Nam Province is one of the key points leading to Guangxi and Annam, there are only two roads to Guangxi and Annam, and the rest are mountain roads, which are difficult for the army to pass, and a few people and horses can barely pass.

After Hong Zheng arrived, he first chose a location on the four major roads and built two tunbao forts in each of them, and blocked the roads leading to Guangxi and Annan at once.

Then Nong Langjin heard the news that there were slaves in his own clan, who were bought by the Ming army with a lot of money, and the whole family was accepted as tenants, and then ran around with the Ming people, and on all the mountains, the trails that could be walked, were told to the Ming people, and the Ming people actually began to build small tunpu checkpoints on the mountains.

Afterwards, Nong Langjin also saw that the Ming people used wood and stone to block some places that could not be built, and where they could be built, they built small forts, usually condescendingly, and arranged ten tenants to guard them, and immediately became a trend of ten people.

Hong Zheng lasted for a month, and hundreds of households in the Nong clan took refuge in the Ming people, which had never happened before.

Nong Langjin was shocked and angry, and got the news one after another.

After the Ming people arrived, they first asked the locals to help build the city with a lot of money, and the clansmen were quite willing.

Then the Ming people began to spread the word that they could work with the Ming people to cultivate the fields, and the Ming people provided seeds, tools, and techniques, and the Ming people also provided grain and salt, which were the favorite things of the native people in their tribe.

After five years, the tax exemption is introduced, and it is exempt for generations.

What's even worse is that many strong men of the Ming Dynasty have hooked up with the little lady in their clan, and it has only been less than a month, and the new Ming people, six of whom have married the women of the Nong clan, and they all seem to be the small officials of the Ming people.

It is said that after those clansmen came back, it showed that they were very good to them, and the living conditions of the family were also better, so it was spread that the people in the Nong clan were already panicking, and many young ladies began to think about marrying the Ming people.

In November, Nong Langjin couldn't help it, went to Song Chengwen, and asked him why Hong Zheng's Ming people snatched so many slaves from him without even saying hello?

Prefect Song Chengwen smiled bitterly, I can't help it, he is a military general at the command and envoy level of the Han Palace, and he is not under my control.

Besides, it seems like your slave ran over on his own?

Nong Lang Jin was speechless for a moment.

He also wanted to question Hong Zheng, but there were more than 20,000 people on Hong Zheng's side, and there were a large number of soldiers and horses in and out, so he dared.

Seeing that Hong Zheng was building cities everywhere around Quang Nam Mansion, and even the mountain roads were beginning to be blocked, Nong Lang Jin thought to himself that if he didn't make a sound, he would surround his Nong clan in Quang Nam Mansion, and when he wanted to escape again, he couldn't escape.

On this day, Nong Langjin decided to officially inform the clansmen that he was not allowed to help the Ming people work, and at the same time asked Hong Zheng what he meant?

If Hong Zheng can't explain it well, he can't say that he has to raise troops to resist.

But Nong Langjin faintly felt that it was difficult to do it in his heart, because this Ming was different from the previous ones.

They first built a city with a high salary to lure the tribesmen, and then used food, salt, sugar, and even marriage to establish relations with other tribesmen, and now he wants to raise his arms and call the whole tribe to rebel like he did ten years ago, I am afraid that there are not many people who are willing.

The main thing is that the marriage trick is too bad.

In the past, the Ming people looked down on their Yunnan natives, and almost never after the Ming people came, they were willing to marry the natives.

But after the Ming people came, they married six of them in a month, which instantly changed the impression of the Han people in the entire clan.

Of course, this is the method that Zhu Gaoxu came up with.

In history, the Ming Dynasty failed to truly rule the entire territory of Yunnan, because the Han people regarded themselves as civilized, looked down on the natives of Yunnan, and never refused to marry.

After the Manchu Qing Dynasty became the master, he purified the fire used in this trick.

The Manchus used marriage to get the support of the Mongols, entered the Central Plains, and then used the same method in various places, and soon conquered all places.

The trick of marriage is actually very useful, you see that Zhu Di used it very well, in order to get the full support of the three departments of Duoyan, he also married the Mongolian princess.

Zhu Gaoxu specially ordered that the generals should publicize more and support the marriage, and for each time he married a local lady, the king of Han rewarded five acres of tax-free land, plus twenty taels of silver.

As soon as this decree came out, the military families enthusiastically participated and wanted to marry the local lady.
