Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

When the post envoy dressed as an officer and soldier with a small flag on his back flew to the gate of the village, the gatekeeper on duty blew his whistle after seeing it from a distance, and then the guard on the flag tower waved the flag, and then a team of gatekeepers The soldiers pushed open the gate with all their strength, leaving a passage for the horses to gallop through.

After the galloping horses entered the gate of the manor and stopped spinning in the open space, the soldiers guarding the gate pushed the gate shut again with the sound of chant.

A while ago, the gate was still open normally. They went out to graze, buy and sell livestock, bought and sold grain, dumped surplus supplies in the village, or received new tenants. Children can reduce the vigilance of newcomers, and also make many people who are wary and hostile to Fushan Tunzhuang have a good impression at first glance.

Since Li Qingshan raised his troops, this kind of harmonious and generous scene no longer existed.

Now Li Qingshan is stationed in the Yanggu area. There are less than 2 infantry, more than [-] cavalry, and more than [-] soldiers and horses. The so-called [-] army is staring at Dongchang. [

Taking Chongzhen 11 years ago as an example, Dongchang Mansion, Jinan Mansion, and Yanzhou Mansion are all rich places in Shandong. Jinan is the provincial capital, Dongchang has Fucheng and Linqing, and Yanzhou has two major water transports in Jining and Dongping Prefectures. And the commercial center, Jining's wealth is unimaginable in this era. It is not only a commercial center, but also the only place in Shandong where cotton can be grown. It was only in the Song Dynasty that China began to promote cotton. From the early to the middle of the Ming Dynasty, it was only the process of promotion. , Jining is just a cotton-producing area.

In Yanzhou, only the Liangshan Mountains and the Yimeng Mountains are relatively poor. In the 12th year of Chongzhen, there was a severe drought in the southwestern part of Shandong, and countless people starved to death. ballad.

11 years later, Dongchang Mansion was devastated by the Qing soldiers in many places, and many places were in dire straits, so Fushan Tuntian took advantage of it. By the beginning of 13, Linqing and other cities have roughly recovered to about half of what they were before the incident. However, private production has not resumed for a long time. Only dozens of Fushan manors have shown vitality, which has attracted more and more new tenants to join them.

According to the estimates of the business office, finance and taxation, and farmland, it will take about 15 years in Chongzhen, and after two or three years of development, farms with independent health, education, defense and other advanced factors will have a blowout in Dongchang and other places. Development, maybe by then, except for a few owner farmers who will not join the army, most of the original tenant farmers in Dongchang Prefecture may choose to enter the army to produce and live.

At that time, it is very doubtful whether the original landlords of Dongchang Mansion will be able to find people to farm the land, unless they also collect rent according to the standards of the Fushan Army Garrison, and provide education, medical and health guarantees for tenant farmers... Obviously the former is still possible, while the latter is completely impossible.

The two sides competed under asymmetrical conditions, which also led to the fact that ordinary landowners or aristocratic families had no strength to resist when facing the competition in the Fushan military settlement system. Leaving home, I would rather move more than a hundred miles to join the Fushan Army... It is very valuable to do so. In this era of underdeveloped communication and transportation, and the era of substandard medical care, relocation may have various unknown dangers. A plague may destroy a huge family... Even so, the tenants still chose to move, which shows two points: the attractiveness of the affluent life in the Fushan military village, and the cruel and harsh treatment of the original landlord. Make tenant farmers intolerable.

According to Zhang Shouren's words, the Juntun manor system is actually a revolution!Its significance is very far-reaching. It is not only an emergency measure to accommodate refugees in Henan and solve the army's food problem. From now on, it seems that the plotter is big, and it is a devastating blow to the existing rural strata of Ming Dynasty!

Judging from the last Dengzhou Incident, it was not only the landlords and gentry who were hostile to the farm, but the clan forces were also eyeing the farm.In simple reasoning, the more enemies you have, the more useful it is, and the more enemies you hate, the more you have to persevere.

To put it simply, the farm does not distinguish between regions and clans, there is no gentry to speak, and it does not accept the exploitation of the landlord. In the short term, it is a place like a peach blossom garden. The scene of the end of the world, there are enough reasons inside this farm to attract more people to defect to it and take root in it.

The enemy is staring at it, and the distance is very close. The sixth village of Changzi has become a temporary command center, and it is also close to the main force of the enemy. Since half a month ago, it has also entered the third-level alert during the day, which is only a short distance away from the fourth-level red alert for the whole army to prepare for war. Just level one.

Seeing the messenger coming, the owner of the Sixth Village, the garrison officials, the civil affairs officials, and the guard officers all came out together, but none of them went forward to greet the past postmen, process official documents, and file files. It's the vice owner's business.Even Wendeng General Zhu Wangli, who was driven out after hearing the news, and the sponsors from various places in Dongchang were the same.

Everyone saw the black border of the official document, which also represented the highest level of confidentiality and delivery speed of the official document. After the deputy owner opened it and read it, he re-sealed the official document. Looking at Zhu Wangli, he used an extremely solemn With a slow expression, he said: "Sir General, under the highest-secret order, the Han Daochang plan, from the moment the order is received, it has been ordered to start."

"Oh, the day has finally come."

Compared with these civil servants, Zhu Wangli's expression was much more relaxed.

He was ordered to form a sudden cavalry, and there were still many gaps in the ration of cavalry and vests. In addition, there was still a large gap in the war horses. It is also important, it is impossible to keep selling to the pass in such a steady stream, the scale of a transaction of hundreds of war horses is not small, not to mention the purchase of tens of thousands of horses here in Fushan.

After choosing a good horse to breed, the idea of ​​building a herd of horses has been formed, and the rest is to find a place.

Compared with what Zhu Wangli has done during this period, these things are also trivial. The main force went south. More than 7000 soldiers and horses are all the elites of Fushan. The rest are only a small number of main forces and a large number of new troops. , the combat power will definitely not be formed in a short period of time, and Zhu Wangli only led more than two hundred men with insufficient equipment to guard Laiwu at the most tense time before. No horse dares to offend Laiwu.

Inside Fushan, the consensus is that the Laiwu Iron Mine is somewhat more important than the Zhaoyuan Gold Mine, and there is absolutely nothing to lose.

"Han Daochang Plan..." Although the deputy owner has collected the official documents, there is still a look of disbelief on his brows. Looking at the crowd, the deputy owner seems to be looking for help. It seems that he still can't believe it. Zhang Shouren had already made such a decision and began to implement such a plan. [

Like the deputy owner's expression, all the people present showed extremely distressed expressions, even Zhu Wangli, who had always been decisive in killing people and only cut heads for carrots, showed a little bit of regret.

"Don't hesitate, everyone."

When the matter came to an end, Zhu Wangli, a pure soldier, was the first to regain his composure. Looking at the crowd, he said in a firm tone: "Everything that has been lost, the general will definitely make up for everyone. It is useless to act like a woman now."

"Sir General said, I'm not going to act like a child."

"Everything is planned in advance, and what is arranged, just follow through."

"That's it, let's do it."

All the civil servants and deacons of the manor looked very distressed, but no matter what, no one said a word of objection from the beginning to the end.

The prestige of General Rong Chengbo Zhang Shouren played a huge role. Under his order, there was no distinction between civil and military in the Fushan system, and there was no one who dared to question half a word. In addition, years of training and accumulated habits also played a big role. Its usefulness is different from that of the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty who are vague and rely on moral concepts rather than fine-grained management when encountering problems.

In Fushan, an order is an order. In the beginning, it was because of the order and the punishment that followed. Afterwards, it was a habit of agreement to be fulfilled. Now it is a belief.

You can speak freely before the order is issued, but after it is issued, you can only execute it.

"Okay, let's get to work."

Feeling relieved, Zhu Wangli waved his arms and ordered his subordinates to act together with the defense team on the village. At the same time, a large number of strong men were mobilized, and all the mules and horses on the village were also led out. , all preparations have been done as far as possible, and the women and children have been transferred in advance. Now is the time to say goodbye to this prosperous manor with more than 500 houses and dozens of tall public houses.

"What a pity." Holding a torch in his hand, riding on his tall war horse, Zhu Wangli sighed softly.

At dusk, all the livestock and people were evacuated, and all the food and stored items were emptied. Zhu Wangli and his subordinates all got on their horses. Under the light of the setting sun, everyone held a torch in their hands, blazing brightly. It blends with the remaining sun's brilliance, giving people who see it a special feeling.

More than 200 people rode in a column, which happened to be lined up along the manor roads facing east and west. The stream flows on the south side of Gugu, and on the east side is a fish pond with a size of more than ten mu. There are chicken coops in front of each house. Although there are large chicken farms and pig farms in the manor, the private house also allows me to raise more. It is always impossible for hardworking people not to raise a few chickens and a piglet for the Chinese New Year in and out of their own courtyard, and there is a small piece behind the house. From the neat vegetable plots, it can be seen that every household has put their best effort into the field.

The courtyard was swept clean, paved with large square bricks, and the house also had green bricks, unlike ordinary peasant households, whose feet were covered with mud when it rained.

It has been built for less than a year, and the whole manor seems to be appreciated by everyone.
