"Yes, with the emperor's clever plan, the problem of eliminating bandits will be solved." Feng Gubao, who accompanied the military council, that is, played the role of the military advisor of the combat team, said.

"Beating the landlord and dividing the land is really a stroke of God." Mu Ying sighed from the bottom of her heart.

"And the emperor's two measures of 'spreading the land into the mu' and 'being one with the gentry and paying the grain in one body' are also the precedent of a dynasty with a history of thousands of years, and the emperor is really the first saint of the ages!" Feng Gu Bao said.

After the two of them read the content of Huang Chengcheng's holy decree, they admired Zhu Yuanzhang with the five-body throw.

Mu Ying originally regarded Zhu Yuanzhang as her father and Queen Ma as her mother, and now she regards Zhu Yuanzhang as a god.

Mu Ying was originally not surnamed Mu, but at the age of eight, he recognized Zhu Yuanzhang as his father-in-law and called Zhu Yin, and later Zhu Yuanzhang said to him after he became the emperor, "Zhu Ying, Zhu Ying, whose child are you?" Zhu Ying just replied vigorously: "I am Your Majesty's child, and I am deeply blessed with the grace of Your Majesty and the Queen." Zhu Yuanzhang refused to give up, and Zhu Ying just repeated what he had just said.

In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Ying helplessly: "You are our adopted son, and now I won't let you restore your original surname, and I can't let you follow my surname Zhu anymore." Since you have been reciting the grace of deep Mu nurturing, I will give you the surname Mu. ”

So, Zhu Ying changed her name to Mu Ying.

Mu Ying's loyalty to Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma is almost impeccable, exactly the same as treating her biological parents. At the age of eight, he followed Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife to fight, and he is a young general with extremely high military literacy, less than 30 this year.

"The responsibility on the general's shoulders this time is very heavy, not only to exterminate the bandits in the southwest, but also to implement these two new measures of the emperor. If it can be carried out smoothly, the future of the general is limitless. Feng Gu Bao said.

"Not bad!" Mu Ying said, "This is a great opportunity for me to make a contribution." ”

"Someone's coming! Please Lu Xiu come to the house. Mu Ying immediately ordered the next human. Lu Xiu is the Pingzhang political affairs of Guangxi Province. The emperor's new measures were obviously not complete by him alone, and they needed to be implemented in coordination with local officials.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the local government followed the provincial system, and it was not until the ninth year of Hongwu that Zhu Yuanzhang changed to the political envoy.

It didn't take long for Lu Xiu, Guangxi Pingzhang, to come in a hurry.

After a secret discussion in the house, the three reached a consensus.

Soon.

The latest notices issued by the government have been plastered all over the city gates of various provinces, prefectures and counties in the southwest.

……

The southwest is mountainous.

In the middle of the steep mountains, there is a cottage where bandits are entrenched.

It's called Flying Tiger Village.

Cottages like Feihu Village, where bandits gather, can be found in the three southwestern provinces, in every state and county in each province, and even on every mountain. There are hundreds of people in the cottage of bandits, dozens of people, or even a few people.

The Flying Tiger Village is the largest in the local area.

Hundreds of bandits gathered in the mountains and forests, living a life of licking blood from the knife edge.

The southwest region is already barren, and with years of war and famine, the poor basically have little oil and water to fish. The only way they could make a fortune was to go down the mountain and plunder the landlords.

However, the landlords also had their own arms, and it was not so easy to rob.

Raiding landlords was a very dangerous thing to do, sometimes even costing with lives.

Therefore, the life of the robbers is not as free as imagined, eating large pieces of meat every day and dividing the gold in large scales.

On the contrary, bandits often go hungry and even starve to death.

It was not easy for the landlords to rob their homes, and the robbers were also afraid of the weak, so they could only go down the mountain to rob the poor people who had only a little rations. As a result, the poor people have no last way to live. Most of the times when they can't grab it, once they can't grab it, they will become angry, burn the village, kill the whole family, and even slaughter the whole village in many cases, which is simply a bad thing.

There was really no way, so they attacked the state and county.

It is even safer to attack the state and county than to attack the landlord.

"The big boss, the notice posted by the government again." The leader of the bandits, the Flying Tigers, was sitting on the Taishi's chair with stabbing obliquely, boredly building his nails with a knife. Bandit leaders with some power like to give themselves a loud nickname to intimidate the local people. Just like some mixed societies in today's society like tattoos, of course, they also give themselves nicknames.

At this time, a bandit entered the cottage and stepped forward to report.

This minion is a clever man who often enters the county and is a spy in Flying Tiger Village. It is specifically responsible for investigating the movements of the government, and once the government has the intention of exterminating the cottage, the spies will warn in advance.

In addition, there are some spies who are responsible for investigating the ten miles and eight townships, where there are villages that can be robbed, or which landlords are lax in their defenses.

"What notice?" The Flying Tiger asked without replying, "Could it be that he took the initiative to go down the mountain and sent us a notice of silver?" ”

"Give the silver when you go down the mountain, the government is really stupid!" The second master next to him said with a smile, "Now our cottage is just short of money, if the government really does this, I will send some people down the mountain and cheat some silver to buy rice and grain." ”

"The cottage has been out of food for several days, and the bandits don't have a good life." The third master sighed, "The villages under the mountain are too poor, and there is nothing to grab." The landlords and the old rich were well guarded and well-armed, and to rob them was to send them to death. If it weren't for the fact that the court was too corrupt and the people couldn't survive, who would want to go up the mountain to be a bandit? ”

"If you can survive, who will fight against the court?" The second master said, "This damn court!" ”

The crowd went up the mountain to become bandits, and they were all forced by the government. The key is that he can't live a good life as a bandit, he still can't eat enough, and he is still worried all day long, worried that the government will send troops to exterminate him.

"The three in charge, the government is not giving silver this time." The spy replied, "The notice says that as long as we are willing to take the initiative to go down the mountain for the people, the government will give us land to cultivate." ”

"The government promised us land!?" The second and third masters suddenly stood up when they heard this, "There is still such a good thing?" ”

"The government has learned wisely this time, and it actually gave land instead of silver." The Flying Tigers behaved very coldly, and didn't seem to take this matter to heart.

The government promised to give land? When the Bailai bandits in the hall heard this, their eyes lit up, as if they saw hope.

They were farmers before they became bandits, and they had a deep affection for the land. In the past, because he had no land and was oppressed too hard by the landlords, he had to become a bandit.

Now when they heard that the government had promised them land, of course they were all moved.

Give a few taels of silver, and it won't be long before it will be spent, and then there will be nothing. And the land, on the other hand, is a constant source of energy to grow food.

Land is the lifeblood of farmers.
