The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 363 The Second Base

Xiao Baihu was stopped again at the second Lutian Tunbao.

This time the waist card is useless.

"You're from Haiyangbao, why did you run so far? Where are you going? What are you going to do?"

"My hometown is in Qingzhou, and my father is seriously ill. I want to go back and visit him." Xiao Baihu said what he had thought up.

"What about the fake note?" the other party asked.

"..." Xiao Baihu was dumbfounded, what the hell is this?
"No leave? Go back without a leave, or we send someone to take you back?"

"No, no, I'll go back by myself." Xiao Baihu had no choice but to turn around.

At this moment, he was already yelling in his heart.

What does Ding Yi want to do?Is the whole of Denglei his domain?This is the world of Emperor Ming.

He sneaked into the Qianhu House as a disaster victim in the early stage, but now he can't leave Denglai.

It is so difficult to leave, but how difficult it is for people outside to come in?
But this can't help him. Ding Yi's bunkers are all built at the intersection of official roads and other major intersections, so he turns to the side road.

So Xiao Baihu went all the way, climbing mountains and wading, and walking on small roads. After a lot of hard work, it took several days before he left Shandong.

Then rushed all the way to the capital to report the situation here to Luo Yangxing.
-
On November 11, Ding Yi spent five days distributing more than 25 mu of the 14 mu of land hoarded by Denglai soldiers.

Now it can't be called surrendering troops, it's all Ding Yi's hoarding of troops.

At the same time when it was divided, most of the guards of thousands of households in Denglai area, including Haiyang, Dashan, Ningjin, Xunshanhou, Baichiyahou, Jinshanzuo, Qishan, Wang The eight thousand households in Xuqianzhai were all allocated more than 1000 soldiers, and all of them became full thousand households.

In addition, Xiahe Qianzhai, Xiongya, and Fushan, which were not affected by the military chaos, were still the original personnel of the imperial court. The total number of these three did not have 1000 people, and they were all old, weak, sick and disabled. In the hands of generals such as Deputy Qianhu.

After these news got out, the military households of Xiongya Station and Xiahe Qianzhai Station all complained and could not move to other places immediately.

Of course, in fact, most of Ding Yi's soldiers are not in each station, but are guarding in each bunker. Ding Yi occupies the establishment of each station and prevents the court from arranging people, and then divides them into each bunker and guards them in each bunker. They hoard fields in Denglai and guard all the intersections in Denglai.

Because he brought in victims from all over the country, he needed various intersections to guide them to Dengzhou.

On November 11, after the land was divided, the governor's office reported to the capital that many refugees and disaster victims had arrived in Denglai. In order to resume production, the local government wanted to use the land division to promote the conversion of the victims into military households.

In the Ming Dynasty, ordinary farmers were not willing to work as military households. Now there are too many military households in Denglai and Lai, and the imperial court is also studying what to do?
Some people suggested that the battalion soldiers be transferred to military households, such as Wang Weizhong, who transferred soldiers and horses from Lushun or other places to transfer to military households.

Some people also proposed to transfer farmers to military households, but they were afraid that farmers would not want it.

Now there are farmers who are willing to transfer to military households, and naturally they can't ask for it, so the court resolutely agreed.

In this way, Ding Yi made it a matter of course, occupying the establishment of each thousand households, and at the same time let his soldiers in Dengzhou reach more than 1, and the soldiers here do not need to be paid, they only need to be fed and clothed.

On November 11, Ding Yi called a meeting of personnel in the Denglei area.

The situation here in Denglai is that Ding Yi has 3000 troops garrisoned by Wang Weizhong of Dengzhou. (Two thousand former surrendered troops were newly incorporated), and there were more than 1000 people in each of the eight thousand households, adding up to more than 1 people, and the total amount of farmland was 14 mu, and it was still increasing.

After the autumn harvest this year, it has achieved self-sufficiency, and can also support the drainage of disaster victims ahead.

The drainage of victims was not very good at the beginning, because it was just started, and there were only 6000 to [-] people in half a year.

However, as time went by, the effect became more and more obvious. In November alone, more than 11 new disaster victims arrived in Dengzhou, more than the sum of the previous months.

Du Ruhai carefully selected the victims, those who were skilled in farming, sewing, blacksmithing, etc., were brought to Lushun.

The rest of the people were arranged on the spot near the bunkers and guarded by the hoarders.

Victims were organized by household, and one hundred households constituted one fort. The original hoarding army elected two fort chiefs and two deputy fort chiefs to manage the victims.

The disaster victims in each fort are allocated the number of fields according to the labor force. For example, if there are [-] laborers, they will stockpile [-] mu.

Each laborer owns one mu of output, and the remaining nine mu must be handed over.

This is less than that handed in by hoarders, because many disaster victims have their families with them, not only to eat for themselves, but also for their families to eat without labor.

Five years later, it will be the same as hoarding soldiers, and each labor force will be allocated five acres, and [-]% will be handed over.

After five years like this, I believe that all the victims are willing to stay in Denglei.

Solving the matter of dividing the land and hoarding the land basically stabilized the hearts of hoarding soldiers and disaster victims.

Then there's the money making thing.

Yanli and Jinan, Qingzhou on the Denglai side are now counted as Lushun's income.

Ding Yi's main income in Denglai is two yuan, one is a large household that Yan Xiong led people to inspect in the early stage, with tens of thousands of taels, half of which is used for his salary in Lushun, and half for drainage of victims.

The other is gold, silver, iron ore and other minerals in Denglai.

These two places are rich in minerals, especially gold mines, which can be found in both Denglai.

Du Ruhai is in charge here, and he still has more than 40 taels of cash in his hand, plus the monthly income from gold mines and other income is about 2 taels of silver.

This amount of money is currently sufficient in Dengzhou.

In this case, the three issues of food, silver, military strength, and Ding Yi will be fine for the time being.

Denglai's farmland can be self-sufficient, and there are many.

The silver is also enough for the expenses here, because the hoarding soldiers here do not need to be paid, they only need to be used to drain the victims.

Needless to say the military strength, as long as you want to fight, you can form an army of ten thousand at any time.

At present, Ding Yi asked Du Ruhai to set up a craftsman bureau in Dengzhou City to make cold weapons such as knives, guns and shields, so as to prepare for the expansion of the army at any time.

So far, Denglai can be regarded as Ding Yi's second base, and in the future, as the effect of drainage expands, it will continuously provide him with population resources.
-
It is said that a major event happened in the capital a few months ago.

When Zhou Yanru recommended Wen Tiren back then, he certainly didn't expect that after Wen Tiren stepped up to a high position step by step, he wanted to go one step further.

In January 1633, Wen Tiren was promoted to the least Fu and Taizi Taifu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Bachelor of Jianji Temple. He and Zhou Yanru suppressed Ding Yi while fighting each other. When people talked about Ding Yi's affairs, he and Zhou Yanru also praised Ding Yi in unison, so that Chongzhen immediately changed color and began to consider promoting Ding Yi.

In June, Wen Tiren had a sudden attack, because Zhou Yanru had privately called Emperor Chongzhen "Master Xihuang" when he made friends with him.

Right now, Wen Tiren is eager to take the stage, and he secretly instigates the speech officer Chen Zanhua to expose the matter. Jin Yiwei's secret agent also proved that Zhou did indeed say this, so Zhou Yanru resigned, and Wen Tiren took over as chief assistant.

In July, Ding Yi was attacking Japan.

On this day, Chongzhen summoned Wen Tiren, the new chief assistant, to discuss important matters.
