The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 115
The official positions of the supervisors are different, but the grades are the same, and the military salary is also the same. Wanting to be promoted depends entirely on personal performance, and how the performance is reported by the secret agents of Jinyiwei, and the emperor evaluates it.

This point was clearly stated by Zhu Cihong and the thousand supervisors.

They have also been warned that they have now joined the military, and if they engage in malpractice for personal gain, they will be subject to military law.

Everyone didn't doubt the emperor's words, and secretly boarded the pirate ship. If something went wrong, they might lose their lives.

As teams of veterans and supervisors and thousands of households from each guard began to leave for each guard, the entire Xuan Mansion was boiling.

The military households who were close to each other wept with joy when they heard the news, knelt on the ground and wailed loudly.

This time Zhu Cihong not only planned to rectify the guards, but also planned to turn all Datong Mansion into military towns, and all civilian households were also classified as military households, and there were no other artisan households.

Everyone can enter the imperial examination.

The gentlemen and landlords in the prefectures and counties of Datong, like thousands of households, confiscated their land, houses, grain, salt, and cattle.

Those who are willing to go to the capital can come to Xuanfu to gather, those who don't want to go leave on their own, don't stay in Datong anyway, as for those who don't want to move to resist, they will be punished as colluding with traitors, and their families will be ransacked.

The result is naturally to pack and relocate honestly, but except for a very few, most of them choose to go to Shanxi.

Fearing that there would not be enough literati, Zhu Cihong sent Wei Jin to various places in Shanxi to recruit. Talents are preferred, and scholars are also welcome. The age is 40 to [-] years old, and the treatment is the same.

This made some juren who failed the trial for a long time, and some humble scholars, drag their families to Datong one after another, and let them live the addiction of being an official first.

Anyway, everyone is like this, and they can continue to test for fame, and they won't be despised by other literati.

Regarding the power of each guard, Zhu Cihong strictly restricted it.

For example, a hundred households are no different from ordinary military households except for carrying out the orders above, or gathering troops to defend against the enemy when there are foreign enemies.

There is no extra power for farming, and you have to hire other military households to help with farming.

The literati tried a hundred households, and their power was slightly greater. In addition to collecting grain every year and reporting the new population, they were usually responsible for mediating conflicts between military households.

But it is limited to mediation, and has no right to deal with anyone. If there are vicious incidents such as theft, robbery and murder, they can only be controlled first and reported to the Qianhu Office.

The Thousand Households Office also has to report to the Acropolis, where the case-handling department specially set up in the Acropolis will go to investigate, and then report to the capital for a ruling. If it is a death sentence, the capital must send someone down to verify the investigation, and finally report to the capital's military justice director for approval.

Yes, each guard and capital division will set up four sub-supervisors, the imperial horse sub-supervisor is responsible for the distribution of money, food and military pay, and the ordnance sub-supervisor manages the arsenal.

The military and political sub-supervisor here is only responsible for investigating cases, and the military-judicial sub-supervisor is responsible for judging cases. The heads of each guard and sub-supervisor, except for the military and political sub-supervisor who handles the case, are in charge of the arresting head, and the heads of the other three prisons are also literati.

Only one chief supervisor will be assigned to each division to supervise the eunuchs.

Each prison can recruit some arresting documents, from the eighth rank or the ninth rank military officer, whether or not to take the imperial examination depends on the individual's ability.

Qianhu and Wei were also just empty-handed when they were in command. They were in charge of the Great Seal and supervised the implementation of the above-mentioned policies.

The above-mentioned personnel are all full-time soldiers, receive salaries, and are bound by military law when they commit crimes.

The Xiaoqi General Banner and ordinary adult male military households are paramilitary, and are governed by civil law in peacetime and military law in wartime.

Minors and women are subject to civil law.

In every Baihubao, all the men who meet the requirements will be trained intensively for one month every year, and the Baihu, General Banner and Xiaoqi will be responsible for the training.

No beating or scolding is allowed during the training, and each person can ask for two days off, but those who pass the assessment will be rewarded with one or two taels of silver every year.

And if there are more than ten people in each Baihubao who are unqualified, the one-year salary of the hundred households will be cancelled.

The assessment is naturally done by serving soldiers.

The quasi-soldiers are all spearmen and sword-shield fighters, and they prepare their own weapons and armor, which also belong to the scope of assessment.

If you don't have a long spear, you don't need to pass the test, you will definitely fail. If your long knife has too many gaps and is full of rust, you will definitely fail.

Whether there is armor or not doesn't matter much.

.........

Huai Anwei.

It is located more than [-] miles west of Xuanfu, so besides the three guards of Xuanfu, it is a group of veteran generals, and the guard who arrived first was Jiansheng.

In addition to the fifty family members brought by the commander of the Huai'an Guard, nearly a thousand people marched into the Acropolis in mighty force.

"Liu Tongzhi, when will the fields be divided?"

"Let's go now, divide our fields first, and then distribute them to those poor military households!"

"exactly…"

A group of supervisors and students had just finished copying the commander's house, and they were still counting and making books, when a group of veterans and generals couldn't wait to urge them.

"I said, what are you in a hurry for? Can you save your land?"

"That is, at least we have to wait until we have counted the money, food, materials, livestock, weapons, etc., and then re-register the account before we can divide it?"

"Otherwise, how many people, how many lands, don't know how to divide?"

All the supervisors were not in a good mood, they were all contemptuous and envious at the same time.

"Then how long do we have to wait?"

The veterans were dumbfounded when they heard that it was so troublesome. They wished they could divide the fields and build houses to find wives immediately.

"No matter what, it will take five or six days, seven or eight days, it depends on the situation!"

A fellow commander waved his hand. If it's a little more unstable, if something goes wrong, won't His Majesty ask them to settle the score?

Is it possible that he will still find these big guys rough?
A group of veterans and generals, no matter how anxious they are, they can only help while continuing to wait.

Fortunately, there were many people working together, and it only took a day to check things out and make a book and seal them up.

Then more than 100 supervisors took the veterans to their Qianhusuo and Baihubao.

Liudong Fort is an ordinary Hundred Household Fort under Huai'an Guard.

After more than 200 years of development, Dingkou is close to [-].

Early this morning, Liu Kui from a hundred families waited outside the gate of the fort with everyone to welcome them.

Seeing seven or eight people finally appeared in the distance, all the military households cheered excitedly.

Liu Kui of the Hundred Households had a bitter expression on his face, and several Xiaoqi General Banners frowned and sighed.

"The next official, Liu Kui, the hundred-household officer of Liudongbao, pays his respects to the Imperial Envoy!"

"Meet the imperial envoy!"

As Liu Kui went up to greet him, and saluted the supervisor at the front, all the military households knelt down and worshiped.

The supervisor's name was Huang Yuan, and he was only in his 20s. Looking at this scene, he felt very excited. After coughing, he said, "Everyone, you don't need to be polite. Get up!"

"This imperial envoy is only temporary. After the land is distributed to you, it will become a trial household. You can call me Mr. Huang from now on!"

"Thank you Mr. Huang."

After thanking the military households, they also stood up one after another, staring straight at Huang Yuan.

"Mr. Huang, this is the registered land of Benbao..."

When he came to the official hall, Liu Kui pointed to a big box and said.

"I'm afraid it will take hundreds of years, right?"

Huang Yuan bent down and randomly picked up an account book to look through it, but he was disgraced.

"Hehe, it's been a while!" Liu Kui laughed dryly.

"Okay, just tell me directly, how many people are there in Liudongbao, how many acres of land, as well as the cattle, farm tools, food, etc.

Huang Yuan threw the booklet back into the box, knowing that these things were no longer usable, and he might have to make a new booklet.

"There should be 2000 people in total, and the land is about [-] mu, more than half of which are cultivated by my Liu family..."

Liu Kui explained with a look of reluctance, but he didn't hide it, anyway, he was leaving soon.

After finishing speaking, he pulled Huang Yuan aside, took out a certain amount of gold and stuffed it secretly into his hands, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Huang, can you be accommodating and ask the lower officials to bring some grain, salt and cattle to the road... "

"Hehe, Liu Baihu, it's not that I'm being intolerant, but do you think you can hide it from His Majesty when you came to the Xuan Mansion with cattle and food?"

Huang Yuan looked at the gold in his hand and said with a smile.

"Could it be that His Majesty will check them one by one?"

"Liu Baihu, listen to me, you just need to bring enough salt and grain to the Xuanfu, you don't need to bring more weapons than your hands, you just need to have enough mules and horses to pull a cart, otherwise you won't be going to the capital to enjoy the blessings, that's all for now , you can figure it out yourself!"

After Huang Yuan finished speaking, he threw the gold back to him.

With His Majesty's temper, he will definitely check carefully one by one at that time.

Once a private possession is found, I am afraid that the house will be ransacked and killed immediately, and they will be implicated in the supervision and inspection.

"Thank you for reminding me, sir, please accept it as a thank you!"

Liu Kui was obviously not stupid, knowing that what he said was kind, he secretly stuffed the gold back.

"As the saying goes, you don't get rewarded for no merit, let's forget it!"

Huang Yuan wanted to accept it very much, but finally returned it to him.

This guy is rough and rough, if he commits a crime in the future and is interrogated and confessed to him, the loss outweighs the gain.

There's no point in worrying about a mere ingot of gold and leaving behind such a hidden danger that can threaten my life.

After some pushing and shoving, seeing that he really didn't want to accept him, Liu Kui gave up.

Then they hosted a banquet and entertained them all. During the period, they also called a few maids to accompany them.

They even gave Huang Yuan and the hundred households who took over each a warm bed, obviously wanting them to take care of other members of the Liu family in the future.

"Mr. Huang, can I have it? Is this a violation of military law?"

Baihu was obviously a fool, holding the little maid in his arms, he couldn't bear to let go, but he was a little scared, so he looked at Huang Yuan and asked.

"This... I can't say for sure about this matter, Liu Baihu, where do you maids come from? They couldn't be snatched from military households, right?"

Huang Yuan pondered for a while, looked at Liu Baihu and asked, he also wanted to accept it, after all, it was inconvenient to have no one around to serve him.

"Don't worry, I released all the women I robbed yesterday and compensated some money. The rest of them were bought from Shuozhou Ren Yazi before. They are definitely not military households and have no relatives around. Datong." Liu Kui quickly explained.

"In that case, let's accept it. But we have to buy it with silver. I don't know what Liu Baihu wants. Of course, if I can take care of it in the future, I will take care of it myself. If I can't take care of it, there is nothing I can do."

Huang Yuan nodded, and then said.

As expected of a scholar, what he does is watertight, and he is suspected of taking bribes for nothing, but buying is different.

Naturally, Liu Kui nodded quickly and said yes, anyway, he is not short of money, and he will just buy beautiful ones when he arrives in the capital.

Immediately, the two of them paid a tael of silver each.

As for the small flag general flags, they could only stare blankly and drool.

"Several, there are more than 2000 people in Dongliu Castle. With your identities, are you afraid that you won't be able to find a woman? Let alone marrying a wife, it will not be easy to find two concubines in the future?"

Seeing the appearance of several people, Huang Yuan laughed.

Apparently he was afraid that some people would be jealous, so he gossiped and reported them.

Sure enough, hearing what he said, several people's eyes lit up.

Then the atmosphere at the wine table became more lively.

Because of the proximity, it was not until five days later that Liu Mei drove seven or eight cars towards the Xuan Mansion with a family of more than ten people and two servants who were willing to follow him.

And Huang Yuan also completed the statistics of all the population and began to divide the fields.

First of all, there are hundreds of households and several small banners, the private fields of the general banner.

One hundred households were divided into [-] mu, and the few banner officers were divided into [-] mu at least, and [-] mu into the largest. Obviously, they all killed the enemy.

Looking at the large tracts of fertile land at home, several people nailed wooden stakes to demarcate the boundaries.

He completely forgot about his mission, to maintain order, to help Huang Yuan, and to distribute to other military households.

Huang Yuan was more than capable, he just had to stand aside and let the military households pull the rope by themselves. The rope was calculated in advance, straightened, and it was exactly one acre plus the three sides.

After Huang Yuan divided one hundred households, there was no further division.

Because there can only be one hundred military households in a Baihubao, and the extra ones will have to wait for follow-up arrangements, so those who are not assigned are dying in a hurry.

Anyone who is familiar with the population structure of Liudongbao will find that [-]% of the [-] households in the sub-fields have the surname Liu.
