Chapter 227: Governing the Army Well

At the end of the song, after the dance, Chen Kan smiled lightly and exclaimed: "Yes, it has a different flavor than the dance music in the Central Plains, and it really lives up to the name of the Peacock Dance." ”

The dinner was a feast of pleasure for the guests and the hosts, and by the time everyone had recovered from the beautiful dance, it was already dark.

Chen Kan and Mu Sheng walked out of the auditorium with their arms, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The sky in Yunnan is much darker than that of Jingshi. ”

Mu Sheng looked up at the sky, and suddenly chuckled: "When my father was alive, he once told Ben Hou that when the Central Plains fell into the night sky, the Western Regions were still full of sunshine. ”

Chen Kan bowed his head slightly, but did not answer, he had never seen such a scene with his own eyes.

"It's getting late today, Lord Chen and the angels under his command might as well rest early, and Ben Hou will personally take Lord Chen to visit the famous places in Yunnan tomorrow."

After eating the feast, Chen Kan was indeed a little tired, so he replied: "There is Lao Houye!" ”

Arrange a place for Chen Kan and others and other trivial matters, still Mu Xin does it himself, in fact, Mu Sheng stays in the military camp all the year round, and most of the time Mu Xin is in charge of the things in the Xiping Marquis Mansion.

After settling down in the Hou Mansion, Chen Kan's tense spirit gradually relaxed, and he fell asleep after a short time.

Along the way, almost everyone in the Qincha team has reached the limit, and Chen Kan is naturally no exception.

The next day, when Chen Kan woke up from his sleep, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

Chen Kan stretched and let out a comfortable moan from his mouth.

Unexpectedly, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Who?"

Chen Kan grabbed the quilt and covered his body, staring at the door vigilantly.

Two women walked into the room with wooden basins and towels in hand, and Chen Kan looked intently at two of the peacock dances performed yesterday.

"My lord, the slave maid will dress and wash you."

One of the women said in the authentic Da Ming official dialect, and the two stopped in front of Chen Kan's bed.

Looking at the two exotic girls with graceful figures and extremely cool clothes standing in front of him, Chen Kan was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little suspicious in his heart.

Beauty tricks?

Since he saw Mu Sheng yesterday, Chen Kan faintly felt that something was wrong, Mu Sheng was too enthusiastic about himself, even if he was favored by the emperor now, he would not let the dignified King of Yunnan lower his posture so much, right?

Now that even the beauty trick is used, is Mu Sheng hiding something?

Seeing that Chen Kan was unmoved, the two women directly took the big coat that Chen Kan hung on the hanger, and planned to give Chen Kan a personal service.

Chen Kan hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it: "I'll just come by myself for this kind of thing." ”

The two women's eyes were stunned, and a trace of panic flashed across their faces.

"The slave and the maid and the others are waiting for the adults to wash their faces."

Seeing the cautious appearance of the two women, as if they were some kind of flood beast, Chen Kan was also very depressed.

If you want to come to the beauty plan, at least find two people who can stabilize the scene, these two women are so frightened, what can they do?

However, Chen Kan soon found that he seemed to be a bit of a villain, because the two women really seemed to be just here to serve him.

From wiping his face and cleaning his teeth, there was nothing out of place in the whole process.

For a while, Chen Kan was relieved and regretful.

After eating a sweet and sour breakfast, Chen Kan and Mu Sheng drove in the same car towards the Beijiao Field outside the door.

When he came to Yunnan, Chen Kan still had one more thing to do, that is, to reward the three armies instead of Zhu Di.

There are two kinds of systems implemented by the Ming Dynasty in Yunnan, one is the Tusi system, which pays attention to "governing razor by raze." ”

This system is aimed at the local indigenous people of Yunnan.

Another system is the guard system for the Han Chinese.

In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, when Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Mu Ying to Yongzhen Yunnan, the total population of the entire Yunnan did not exceed two million, even if it added the 300,000 troops brought by Mu Ying, so the land of Yunnan was definitely vast and sparsely populated.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that "collecting grain to pay the army" was not a long-term solution during the war, so he decided to thoroughly implement the system of guards in Yunnan.

Guyin's army stayed in Yunnan, and it was too far to transport grain from Jiangnan to Yunnan.

Therefore, Yunnan began to garrison the fields, and its main purpose was to solve the grain problem in Yunnan.

Of course, it is impossible for Mu Ying to let all the soldiers go to reclaim the fields, but to transfer 70% of the soldiers to farm, leaving 30% of the soldiers to perform daily military affairs, so that he can not only meet the needs of raising soldiers, but also obey the needs of war at any time.

And the officers and soldiers who Chen Kan wanted to go to condolences on behalf of Zhu Di were responsible for the daily counterinsurgency in Yunnan.

In addition to the 50,000 troops stationed in the stable places of Yunnan provinces, there are still 50,000 troops stationed on the teaching grounds outside Jianshui City.

Seriously speaking, it is indeed very difficult for Yunnan to raise so many soldiers, and it can almost be regarded as a soldier for the whole people.

Yunnan itself has very little arable land, and it is only a little better than Guizhou next door.

Not to mention that on such a large territory as Yunnan, the real strong groups now are still those low-productivity toasts.

Approaching the teaching ground, before Chen Kan got out of the car and drove, he had already heard the earth-shattering sound of drills in the teaching field.

The diligence of Yunnan soldiers' drills, Chen Kan had already felt it once when he was at Shengjing Pass, so he was not surprised at this time.

At the entrance of the camp of the teaching field, as soon as the honor guard of the three armed forces that Mu Sheng had arranged long ago saw Mu Sheng's car approaching, they knew that the legendary Lord Qincha had arrived.

Chen Kan lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, picked Mu Sheng off the wheel, and caught a glimpse of all the soldiers kneeling on one knee and shouting in unison: "See the general." ”

Chen Kan's hand stiffened in mid-air, but quickly returned to normal.

As if he hadn't noticed Chen Kan's emotions, Mu Sheng waved his hand with a smile: "No need to be polite, Ben Hou is here today to accompany Lord Qincha to inspect the camp." ”

The soldiers shook their armor leaves and got up at the same time, but they didn't look at Lord Qincha in Mu Sheng's mouth.

An indifferent smile quickly appeared on Chen Kan's face.

Whether this is for him or Mu Sheng's ability to govern the army, Chen Kan has already made up his mind that he will only bring a pair of eyes here today.

Looking at Chen Kan, whose expression remained unchanged, a hint of playfulness flashed on Mu Sheng's face, and he asked with a smile: "Lord Qincha, do you want to see the majesty of my Yunnan border army?" ”

Chen Kan nodded lightly: "It is indeed a first-class strong army in the world." ”

Chen Kan can feel it now, what is called both soft and hard.

Obviously, after stepping into Jianshui, Mu Sheng has always been very enthusiastic about him, he has not said a cruel word, and he has not shown any threat.

But at this moment, Chen Kan only felt a chill down his spine, not because he was afraid, but because Mu Sheng really managed the army well.
