Walking in the infinite world

chapter 78
Lu Xiao's appointment has finally come down, and Jin Yiwei is the commander.At the same time, he also served as another official position, the military preparation road.

The full name of this official position is Rectification of Soldiers and Preparations.During the Tang and Song Dynasties, regimental training envoys evolved and have the right and responsibility to train troops.

The ministers in the DPRK and China were naturally impeachment frantically.But no matter how you impeach it, it's useless.Moreover, the means of Tianqi are not comparable to the later Chongzhen.With countless black materials in his hand, he can also let a group of subordinates blackmail him.

After missing a little bit of information without a trace, Wei Zhongxian, as a qualified loyal dog, immediately attacked strongly.Drag several courtiers into Zhao Jail.Under a severe torture, he cooperated with the enemy and betrayed the country, raided his family and exterminated his family, and started one-stop service.

The point is, this time all the incriminating evidence is true.Apocalypse also showed some evidence in the courtroom, and the voice of the whole courtroom suddenly became much smaller.Obviously, the group of people had already understood the meaning of the emperor, and shut up a lot.

The point is that until now, Lu Xiao has only been a commander of Jinyiwei and added a military commander.In fact, he did not have a finger on the rights in the court.Moreover, since he took charge of Jinyiwei, the number of people who went to prison has dropped significantly.

In contrast, the courtiers felt that Lu Xiao was actually okay.

It can only be said that sometimes a lot of things can't stand the comparison.

However, the calm in the court did not bring substantial changes to the Ming Dynasty.The north has suffered from drought for years, and natural and man-made disasters have taken turns.Countless people from the lower classes finally lost their last chance to survive.So, unrest broke out.

Peasant riots first broke out in northern Shaanxi, and soon became a prairie prairie.At first, Wang Jiayin and Wang Ziyin of Youfugu rioted, and they occupied Huanglong Mountain.Then King Zuohang of Yichuan, Gao Yingxiang of Ansai, Zhang Cunmeng of Luochuan, Monk King Yanchuan, King Daliang of Hannan responded, and the flames of struggle ignited throughout Shaanxi.

At this time, in Yinzhou, Shaanxi, a small place also called Mizhi County, a low-level civil servant of the Ming Dynasty lost his job.This man was Li Zicheng, a groom at a post station in the Ming Dynasty.Because he lost an official document (some say he lost his horse), he was fired from official duties and went home without a job.

Without work, there is no money.As a result, the debt owed to Master Juren was not paid, and he was sued by the other party to the yamen.On the one hand, there are lifting people, and on the other hand are the unemployed low-level civil servants.The county magistrate immediately arrested him and tortured him, basically preparing to kill him.

However, Li Zicheng is usually very loyal.There are a bunch of poor guys.After some discussion, these guys rescued Li Zicheng.After Li Zicheng came out, it was still impossible for him to have the money to repay his debts.So he thought of a wonderful note.If you kill the creditor, don't you have to pay the debt?

Li Zicheng, who has a strong execution ability, can do it when he thinks of it.Soon after, the creditor was killed and the debt was successfully eliminated.Li Zicheng, who had dealt with the debt, was still very proud.As a result, after returning home, he found that his wife had committed adultery with a gangster in the same village.

Li Zicheng broke the defense on the spot and killed his wife.The two lives are at stake, and they can no longer hide.Under the pursuit of the government, Li Zicheng could only join the army.

But entering the Ming army at this time is actually similar to entering the national army in [-].

Li Zicheng joined the army originally to have a full meal.It turned out that after I went there, I found out that there is not enough rice bran to eat, let alone a soldier.

When it comes to military salaries, it’s not that they don’t have them, but they just can’t reach them.The superiors were corrupt and exploited layer by layer, except for the general's personal soldiers.The soldiers below are no different from beggars.

Li Zicheng's violent temper naturally couldn't bear this kind of treatment, so he simply reversed it.

In fact, Lu Xiao has been paying attention to the movements in Shaanxi. It's not that he didn't think about killing Li Zicheng in advance.But it doesn't make sense to think about it.At the end of the Ming Dynasty, if you killed a Li Zicheng, there would be Zhang Zicheng, Guo Zicheng, and Zhao Zicheng.In the seventh year of the Apocalypse alone, dozens of uprisings, large and small, have occurred all over the country.

Some were suppressed, and some are still on the run.In addition, the city has already been laid, and it has become a certain climate.

This is a kind of tragedy caused by the whole era, and it cannot be made up for by killing one or two people.Of course, what is more critical is that most of Lu Xiao's energy is actually placed in Liaodong.

Over the years, he has cultivated a lot of trustworthy people.But basically he was sent to Liaodong to collect all kinds of information on the Tartars.For Lu Xiao, civil strife in the Central Plains.That is the people in the Central Plains struggling to survive.He doesn't have that much energy to take care of these things.

After personally participating in this world trend, he realized the saying that manpower is sometimes poor.Even if he is now the command room of Jinyiwei, he also serves as the military guard.He is also deeply trusted by the emperor, and has memories of previous lives.But in the face of the situation in the Ming Dynasty, I still feel a lot of confusion and chaos.

So, after some choices, Lu Xiao finally realized.You cannot solve all problems by yourself.Therefore, he concentrated his energy on Liaodong.He is responsible for resolving external conflicts, and as for internal conflicts, it is up to the sky.

All over the country, the flames of flames have created countless no-man's-land areas and countless refugees.These refugees are a huge hidden danger to local security.Because everyone knows that these people are refugees today.But it may not wait until tomorrow at all.That night, someone raised their arms.They immediately turned into rogues.

As for selling sons and daughters, this is even more commonplace.In this environment, Lu Xiao sent a lot of people.Started to take in some young adults and even teenagers in the surrounding area.

For countless refugees, this winter can be regarded as a critical milestone.When the first snow fell, in the capital, dozens of people died of starvation every day.

You know this is the capital.In the cities and towns around the capital, and even further north, the lives of those refugees were only worth half a piece of steamed buns.

Under this circumstance, Lu Xiao has gathered thousands of young and middle-aged people at a very small cost.And as a price, it's just two meals a day.

This is a little preparatory work for rebuilding the Qi family army.What Lu Xiao wants to build is a professional army.The kind that is completely out of production, and all energy is devoted to fighting.Everyone pulled out is the kind of absolutely powerful army of killing machines.

A completely full-time army is actually a huge burden for a dynasty.A simple question if a soldier is completely out of labor.Then, does his family also need the support of the country?Otherwise, without this labor force, his family may starve to death.

Therefore, feeding 1 off-duty soldiers is not just feeding these 1 soldiers.1 additional families are also required.This makes the cost several times higher.

At the same time, after the soldiers are completely out of production, the logistics of camps, weapons and equipment, horses and so on.It also requires a large and professional team to be responsible.This is another huge expense.

And these expenses add up, and in ancient times where productivity was insufficient, it would cause enormous pressure on a dynasty.Therefore, in ancient times there were very few soldiers who were completely out of work.

Lu Xiao recruited troops at this time to avoid the burden of his family.All these soldiers are refugees who were bought individually.Their families are either dead or separated.Without the attachment of a family, building this army can greatly reduce expenses.

But even so, Lu Xiao's money and grain reserves can only be used to maintain their basic survival.Fortunately, with the passage of time, this difficult winter has finally passed.

With the arrival of spring, Lu Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.Those pigs that have been raised for a long time can finally be killed.

The first wave started from the Fan family, one of the eight major Shanxi merchants.
