A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 323 Layout

"This time, our Shun Township Army killed 420 and 260 soldiers and [-] and [-] were disabled. According to the order of General Dingguo, the army went back to the state. .”

"For the war dead, each family will receive 50 taels of pension for Anjia, and for the disabled, each family will pension for Anjia 30 taels, depending on the request of the widow of the family, or a one-off payment, or a monthly payment. Most of the widow's family members are willing to Year and month to receive.

"This is Anjia's silver tael, and its family members provide food and rice every month, and each mouth provides five buckets per mouth every month. The widow takes care of him for life, and his heirs take care of him and wear crowns when he grows up."

Chi Dacheng's expressionless voice kept coming, echoing in the spacious lobby: "The general is merciful, and he gave the disabled soldiers a three-year tax exemption for their family land. In the future, the farming teams of each fort will help them cultivate for free, and the casualties will be killed separately. Slave rewards are given priority, and the family members can live comfortably for life."

After Chi Dacheng finished speaking, he bowed to Wang Dou and sat down by himself.

There are whispers in the hall, everyone feels that the Shun Township Army has generous pensions, and at this time the Ming Army should rank first, which can be compared with the Qi Family Army back then.The family has no worries, which is one of the reasons why the Shun Township Army has outstanding combat power.

Zhang Gui, the prefectural city management officer, and Tian Changguo, the secretary officer, were sitting together. Tian Changguo was still skinny, but at this time his two big eyes that seemed to be awake in the past were piercing.

For the first time, I was invited to participate in the discussion of General Dingguo. This is a rare honor, and it means that I have also become a core member of General Dingguo.The opportunity is extremely rare, how could Tian Changguo not keep his eyes open and listen attentively?
Listening to Chi Dacheng's talk in that paragraph, Tian Changguo's heart trembled one after another. Wang Dou's hidden strength was far beyond his expectations. After the harvest is digested in the future, how far will General Dingguo's strength expand?
Tian Changguo secretly rejoiced that he did not participate in the mutiny a few years ago, and he tried his best to get closer to Wang Dou, so he got this opportunity to get closer.

He and Zhang Gui whispered to each other for a while, Zhang Gui stood up, bowed his hands to Wang Dou and said: "General, I have a sentence, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Wang Dou said, "Please tell me about Zhang Qian."

Zhang Guidao: "General, my lords, the lower officials are not talented, and General Meng was awarded the post of prefectural city management officer. The lower officials thought that our army in Shun Township was too heavily pensioned. First, there was Anjiayin, and there was comfort food every month. Killing Regardless of the enemy's rewards, such generous rewards may increase the burden on the army in the future."

"In the world of the Ming Dynasty, one person can be recruited as a soldier. It is kind to give a few taels of compensation to a few people who are killed in battle....Of course, the general's kindness and generosity are unmatched by other generals, but the lower officials think Not to mention anything else, there is no need for the three-year tax exemption for disabled soldiers' family farms, and those pensions and rice are enough."

After he finished speaking, Tian Changguo also stood up, nodded and bowed to Wang Dou, and said, "General, I also mean the same thing, my Shun Township Army has already given enough compensation for the casualties, and the land is exempt from tax, I think it needs to be discussed. "

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, Gao Shiyinji jumped up. After the battle between Zhuozhou and Pinggu, he was promoted to be the commander of security guards. In the future, when the army is reorganized, he will also be a grand general, with Tian Changguo, Zhang Gui and others On an equal footing.

Although Zhang Gui used to be his immediate boss, so what?In the past, Zhang Gui was still the immediate superior of General Dingguo, but now and then.

After several battles, Gao Shiyin deeply realized the importance of the morale of the army under his command. Wang Dou exempted the casualties from taxes for several years, which would definitely enhance the cohesion of the army and enhance their combat effectiveness. This is a wishful thing. As for the burden on the future army, it is not under his jurisdiction.

He first saluted Wang Dou respectfully, and then said angrily to Zhang Gui: "As for Zhang Qian, the three-year tax exemption for disabled soldiers' households and farmland was drafted by the general himself. Compassionate. Isn’t it that the fields are exempted from tax for three years, and the fields of more than 1000 soldiers will not receive much less rice? You jumped out to oppose, what does this mean?”

At the end of his speech, he was gnashing his teeth a little bit, and even the flesh on his face was shaking.

Zhong Xiancai, who was sitting on his seat, said in a soft voice: "I agree with Gao Qianshi's opinion. Although the soldiers have a share in subsidizing silver and rice, if the land is exempted from tax for another three years, it will win the hearts of the soldiers."

Zhong Xiancai was second only to Han Chao. Gao Shiyin and others were the first old people who followed Wang Dou in Jingbian Fort. With his words of support, Gao Shiyin immediately stiffened a lot.

Sun Sanjie said: "I also agree with Gao Qianshi's opinion."

Gao Shiyin was even more complacent.

Zhang Gui glanced at Gao Shiyin, and said: "Youdao is Sheng Mi En, Dou Mi Qiu. You gave me a liter of rice, and I didn't let me starve to death. I am grateful to you. You are my benefactor. But you gave me a Dou of rice. You can give more, if you don’t continue to give more, then you are an enemy.”

"Our Shun Township Army is all good men. Of course there will be no such ungrateful people, but Gao Qian is not in charge of his family and does not know how expensive firewood is. This time, our Shun Township Army suffered nearly 2000 casualties. The general is a hero, and the Ming Dynasty is everywhere. Inseparable from the general. In the future, we will definitely go out to fight continuously, and the casualties of soldiers will increase. First, more than 1000 soldiers and soldiers will be exempted from land tax. , to prevent problems before they happen."

Tian Changguo said beside him: "That's right, Zhang Qian's words should be the words of an old man who wants to seek the country."

Wang Dou listened quietly to Zhang Gui's words, and saw that his words were full of flavor and impassioned.But he knew that Zhang Gui had a mighty appearance, short beard and long leopard eyes, just like Zhang Fei, but he was actually a very shrewd person.He deliberately showed that he was at odds with the generals, which was quite meaningful.

He nodded, put down the teacup in his hand and stood up. Immediately, everyone in the debate in the hall shut up and stood respectfully.

Wang Dou was pacing in the hall with his hands behind his back. When he came to the window, there was a continuous patter of rain outside, and the rain curtain continued. The trees in front of the hall and the stone slabs on the steps were washed extremely clean.

Wang Dou stared at the window for a long time with his hands behind his back, and everyone in the hall silently watched his back, not daring to say a word.

After a long time, Wang Dou turned around and came back. He sighed: "Qu Zi once said: Take a long breath to cover up your tears, mourning the hardships of the people's livelihood. Every time I read history, I always feel the suffering of the people's livelihood. The people are suffering, dying, and the people are suffering. Wang Dou is not talented, and he is willing to encourage the lords to try their best to make life easier for the people in the military households under his rule."

His voice echoed in the hall: "Those disabled soldiers were also civilians in our military households in Baoan Prefecture. In this national war, their families were small, or they lost their children, or they were disabled and unable to work. I will Compassionate in my heart, do my best, no matter how hard it is in the future, I will try my best to make these casualties small, well-fed and well-fed, and no longer suffer from hunger and cold. Also let my living soldiers of the Shun Township Army have no worries consider."

Everyone in the hall stood up at the same time, their faces were all moved, they said in unison: "The general is benevolent, which is rare in the world. It is really a blessing that we can follow the general."

Zhang Gui was even more choked up, and he prostrated himself on the ground: "Compared to the general, the lower official realizes that he is really a frog in a well, ashamed, ashamed."

Wang Dou stretched out his hands to support him: "All generals, please stand up."

Going over to help Zhang Gui up with his own hands, he said, "Pick up what's left and make up for the vacancies, and speak out boldly. Zhang Qian's affairs are also of public interest. Please rise up."

Zhang Gui wept bitterly and stood up.

After everyone sat down again, Feng Dachang, the official at the top on the right side of the hall, stood up with a smile.

He gave Wang Dou a deep salute with graceful movements, smiled and nodded to everyone in the hall, and then unfolded an official document in his hand: "General, since March, the rescued people from Zhending Mansion and Baoding Mansion were sent back to Baoan Prefecture. The colleagues in the hall will make detailed statistics."

"Combined with the 23-odd disaster victims accommodated in Liujingzhai for several months, the number of new residents in Baoan Prefecture is 540. Most of these people are strong men and women, and most of them are strong men, with a population of 13. There are more than [-] people. There are more than [-] strong women, and the rest are old, weak and young girls, most of whom are victims of disasters in Liujing Village."

"The 23 victims of the disaster were resettled in Zhangjiabao, Shunxiangbao, Wubao, and Fanshan. The future will be determined by the general."

After speaking, he smiled and nodded to everyone in the hall, and sat down with a smile on his face.

Zhang Gui coughed and took out a thick official document. He had carefully prepared for today's meeting for a long time. He stood up and bowed to Wang Dou, and said, "General, regarding the placement of these Dingkou, the lower official has After discussing with Mr. Lin in detail, we now have a population of [-] people in Baoan Prefecture, and the fields in the city have already been reclaimed. To resettle these people, we have to develop towards the surrounding guards. The general happened to be guarding Xuanzhen East Road and set up a garrison. , resettling military households is justified."

He said: "The east road guarded by the general includes Baoanzhou City, Baoanwei City, Huailai City, Yongning City, Yanqing City and other places under his rule. The meaning of the lower officials is to set up one fortress for every thousand households. If there are five or six thousand people in one thousand households, only fifty forts can be set up to resettle the more than [-] people. Zhan Wo Shun's army took back a lot of food, grass and cattle, so it must be easy to resettle these people."

"Of course, many of these rescued people are single retail investors. We can follow the strategy of Fangzhou City, let them get married, encourage them to have children, and have children in the future. It can also increase the number of people on my Xuanzhen East Road. For all kinds of things, the lower officials have roughly drawn up a strategy, and I ask the general to look it over."

As he spoke, Zhang Gui respectfully handed over the Chinese script in his hand to Xie Yike, asking him to pass it on to Wang Dou.

Wang Dou took over the copy and read it. In fact, he already had his own overall strategy in his heart. These days, he has been thinking about the future ruling program of the entire Xuanfu Town East Road, the overall military, political and civil affairs planning, etc., but it is better to listen to the opinions of his subordinates .
