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

Chapter 116
With all the literati and veterans from all over the place in place, the work of reorganizing households and dividing land in the Xuanfu of Datong has been completely carried out.

Zhu Cihong also went to Datong to sit in town, personally controlling the overall situation, and was responsible for dividing the jurisdiction. A steady stream of scholars, Juren, also came from Shanxi and were sent to various places.

It was not until mid-October that the weather was already very cold, and this vigorous rectification came to an end.

Nearly 50 guards and nearly 300 million military households have been reorganized. It can be seen that although the two places are located in border towns, due to the complete defense system and the absence of locust plagues and droughts, the population loss is not serious.

The unique geographical location is probably the area with the least loss in the entire north.

Because it was the refugee army that caused the most damage, and when King Chuang crossed the border, his style had changed.

In the end, Zhu Cilang considered again and again, and set up three capitals and one Wanquan capital. The government and jurisdiction remained unchanged, with a total of 16 guards under the jurisdiction.

One Yunzhou Dusi, governing Datong, governed a total of 18 Weis, and one Shuozhou Dusi, governing Shuozhou, governed a total of 16 Weis.

The three capitals belong to different departments and are directly responsible to the capital.

During the war, Shuozhou Metropolitan Division and Datong Metropolitan Division were assigned to Datong General Soldier Wu Shanfu for overall planning, and Wanquandu Division was assigned to Xuanfu General Soldier Liu Fangliang for overall planning.

In addition to allocating [-] veterans, the two recruited [-] soldiers and recruited [-] new soldiers. They each commanded [-] troops in Datong, Xuanfu, and were responsible for guarding the border pass.

Wang Chengyin and Jiang Yu combined 3 soldiers and horses. After picking and choosing, [-] of them were eliminated and compiled into ordinary military households, and the rest were supplemented by the two.

There were 5 troops in the Chinese army, and Hong Niangzi took away [-], and selected another [-] as the military officer and banner officer. The two gave [-] each, leaving exactly half of the [-] people.

And for these 5 soldiers, most of the ordinary soldiers were under 25 years old. Zhu Cihong repeatedly promised that he would give them land for up to three years, which calmed down the [-] soldiers from their jealousy.

The same goes for Liu Fangliang and Wu Sanfu's [-] veterans. They can't interfere with the military and civil affairs of the Third Division, and they train their [-] troops every day.

And with the example of those retired veterans, whether they are soldiers, new soldiers, or old soldiers, they are all eager to make contributions and train desperately.

The new recruits thought that after making meritorious service in the future, they would get their own fields and live the life they dreamed of, while the old soldiers thought about accumulating more military exploits so that they could join hundreds of households when they retired.

No wonder everyone is so greedy, but almost all retired veterans and generals married wives, and some even took concubines and hired maids. Now Xiaoqi General Banners are hiring military households to repair houses.

After all, with the addition of rewards, these people have accumulated a lot of silver in their hands, and when they left, Zhu Cihong each reissued the military ring for an extra month.

And thousands of original military officers and generals were also assigned, and those who were relocated were relocated to the capital.

During the period, more than a dozen dishonest guys were beheaded by Zhu Cihong, all property was confiscated, and the family members also ended up in a doomed end.

These people were scolded by others as the biggest fools in the world. In order to hide some food and salt, they not only lost their lives, but also made their families suffer.

"Your Majesty, after repeated collection by the various guards, the various public supplies are as follows. The grain totals more than five million shi, of which 200 million is old grain, and the total amount of silver is more than four million taels. Cloth...salt...tea...animals...weapons..."

After Wei Jin finished speaking, Zhu Cihong took the brochure and gasped. He didn't expect that the wealth and materials in the entire Xuanfu Datong were so rich and concentrated.

So much food and salt are concentrated in the hands of military officers and gentry, how much can there be in the hands of 300 million military and civilian households?I'm afraid I'm really going to be poor.

After being excited for a while, Zhu Cihong said: "300 million new grain, 50 in Datong Tun, 50 in Xuanfu Tun, and the remaining 200 million will be shipped to the capital, and 200 million old grain will be loaned to military households in the jurisdiction on average. Keep the accounts clear and pay them back in three years!"

"All the money will be collected in the Xuan Mansion first, and then escorted to the capital. As for the cloth, salt, tea, etc., they will be temporarily sealed up and waited for by the shopkeepers of the imperial shops in various places to receive them."

"Your Majesty, what about the livestock and farm tools? The military households rent out military officers and gentry when they are farming. Should they continue to borrow or distribute them directly to the military households?"

Wei Jin asked for instructions, although he is also an official of the eighth rank, he is responsible for coordinating the third division with hundreds of supervisors.

He is also responsible for accepting and managing the newly arrived scholars, who are about to become the chief assistant of the cabinet these days.

"It's definitely not good to divide directly. If it's good, sell it to them. Five households can buy farm cattle, mules and horses together. They can also pay on credit and pay it off within five years!"

Zhu Cilang thought about it, anyway, you can't go whoring for nothing, you don't have money to keep accounts, and you don't need interest, and you will pay it back slowly in the future.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Wei Jin hurriedly patted the horse on the road.

But he murmured in his heart that the emperor was too stingy.

A total of 500 million taels were copied in the two places, and there were 600 million shi of grain, and other supplies were piled up like mountains, but he was always fussing with the people. He had never seen such a stingy emperor.

After Wei Jin left, Zhu Cihong also heaved a sigh of relief. After spending a month and a half, he finally finished his work.

Next, you only need to open a royal store in each guard, and then set up a branch of the business supervisor.

This business sub-supervisor will be responsible for mining, coal mining, iron smelting, and iron and wood making in the two places, directly under the director of the capital.

But then Zhu Cihong found that there was no suitable candidate.

In the end, we had to transfer an old eunuch, an old court lady, and a group of old craftsmen to manage it, and then hired experts from military households to do it.

Just as Zhu Cihong was about to bring an army of [-] back to the capital and come back for inspection after a while, the beacon tower on the Great Wall to the north suddenly ignited smoke.

In just half an hour, the two places were full of wars.

The military households who were just inspecting the land in their own fields rushed home one after another, and then rushed to the nearest castle with the old and the young.

Obviously they are very skilled, know what's going on, and know that they must hide in the castle immediately, otherwise they may be caught or killed by the Tartars.

This is the experience accumulated with the blood of countless lives for tens of hundreds of years, and almost no one dares to procrastinate.

Those who procrastinate have long since died, or have become slaves to the Tartars.

Zhu Ciwang was also shocked when he looked at the smoke everywhere, this was the first time he saw what smoke was everywhere.

"Wu Sanfu, I want to find out as soon as possible how many Tartars have come, and where did they come from?"

"Your Majesty, the wolf smoke came from Shahukou. The wolf smoke is divided into three strands. The Tartars probably have fifty thousand horses." Wu Sanfu hurriedly explained.

"How many people did you send to guard Shahukou?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I have sent 500 people."

"What? You only sent five hundred for such an important pass?" Zhu Cihong was furious.

"Your Majesty appease your anger, and when the smoke came, I dispatched 3000 people to rush to help, enough to support the army until it arrived.

There are more than ten valley roads, large and small, on the northern side wall, which can be used by large troops. In addition to the beacon towers, if there are too many people in one place, there will not be many troops to rush to help. "

Wu Sanfu was also so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, he quickly explained again.

"If you bring some people to support yourself, you have to hold on to me for two days no matter what, and you must not let the tartars in."

Zhu Cihong said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

After Wu Sanfu left, Zhu Cihong immediately sent the Imperial Forest Army to the Xuanfu to spread the order that the [-] Chinese troops must arrive in Datong within two days.

At the same time, it was ordered that the guard castles owned by the capitals of the two states should close their gates to guard against death, and everyone should evacuate into the castle as soon as possible.

At this time, the news also came from Shahukou.

A total of [-] Tartar cavalry forced the pass.

When Wu Sanfu arrived, the Tartars didn't make a move, they were still clamoring at the gate.

"Bu Shitu is sweating profusely, give the order to attack, if you delay any longer, reinforcements from the Ming army will arrive soon."

Azig was also half-dead with anger, and urged anxiously, wishing he could split this old thing in half.

"The reinforcements from the Ming army have arrived long ago. What's more, my Tumed department is only here to force the Han people to open the market!"

Bu Shitu said slowly about the profuse sweat from Tumed's department.

Azig and his [-] cavalry were forced to naturalize, consuming a large amount of food and meat and salt from their Tumed tribe every day, and it was already unbearable.

If he hadn't been afraid of Daqing's strength, he would have turned his back on him and driven him away.

"Bu Shitu Dahan, the little Han emperor has always been treacherous and cunning, even if he deliberately blocked the side wall, he would never open a market with you. Now that the time for a surprise attack has passed, why don't you go back and conquer the tribes in Mobei? !"

Azig had no choice but to endure the resentment in his heart, and persuaded him.

He knew that if things went on like this, the Tumote Department would fall to the Ming Dynasty sooner or later. He wanted to encourage this old guy to go directly to Datong to plunder and become a deadly enemy with the Ming Dynasty. Who would have thought that this old guy would want to negotiate.

So he regretted encouraging them to come. He should go to conquer the tribes in Mobei first. Only by conquering Mobei can he strengthen his strength and win over the leaders of the Tumed tribe.

In fact, even if Azig didn't encourage him, Bu Shitu would come with an army.

Because every year at this time, merchants from the Ming Dynasty would come to the grassland to trade with them with a large amount of supplies, but this year there were none.

After some inquiring, Bu Shitu found out that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty came to Datong in person and sealed off the side walls, not allowing a grain or a grain of salt to flow into the grassland.

This is simply forcing their Tumote troops to their death. In the past, even if the Ming Dynasty blocked it again, there would always be businessmen who would take risks, but this time, no one really came. It was really frightening.

Whether it is salt, tea, grain or iron, they are the necessities of their nomadic tribes. No matter which one is lacking, it will be a disaster for a long time.

That's why he wanted to give gifts first and then soldiers. If he didn't get food and salt and tea back this time, he didn't know how many people in the tribe would starve to death this winter.
