Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 98 Emergency

These few blows directly frightened everyone.

Zhu Yixi didn't care so much, and waved his hand: "Give me a forty big board, and let him have a taste."

"No!" Baihu screamed miserably as it was dragged down like a dead pig.

Only then did Zhu Yixi feel more relieved, and ordered: "Everyone watch me."

"Even if it is a hundred households who bully my soldiers, they must be punished."

"In addition, no matter who it is, if anyone bullies Lao Tzu's soldiers, I will make it hard for you, so let's leave it here."

Although Zhu Yixi was lying on his stomach, he put down his harsh words.

"Long live, long live—"

The soldiers of the new barracks immediately cheered, and the cold winter wind was driven away.

Listening to General Zhu's contagious words and seeing the hundreds of households being beaten, my heart suddenly felt warm.

Although they were tired from the journey, they smiled from the bottom of their hearts at this time, and some even couldn't help crying.

Seeing this, Zhu Yixi couldn't help but nodded, the beating was finally not in vain.

Thinking, he glanced at Zhu Yi.

This kid is too young, he doesn't even understand the key points, it made me freeze up.

All the time, Zhu Yixi went directly into this hundred households, a big village.

The wall is as high as one person, and inside is a large area of ​​thatched cottages, which are dilapidated.

The ground was muddy, and all kinds of garbage, even feces and urine were mixed together, and it was hard to tell what color it was.

A group of people covered their noses.

"Old man, don't worry, I'll send someone to rebuild the house for you."

Zhu Yixi said earnestly.

"If you can't stay any longer, follow me to Nanzheng, it's much better than this."

It was the first time Zhang Wudou saw such a big official, he hurriedly said tremblingly: "General, I'll stay here, I'm all acquaintances here, and I can live a decent life."

"also."

Zhu Yixi nodded, and took out another ingot of silver: "Just take this money and fix the house properly."

Zhang Wudou looked hesitant, but the plight of life forced him to continue.

Shaggy, sallow and emaciated, these are not enough to describe these miserable military households.

The cold wind was biting, and Zhang Wudou's family only wore a worn-out sackcloth with the straw inside exposed, which made them look a little bloated.

"Buy some padded jackets to wear." Zhu Yixi shook his head and sighed.

At least, ordinary households can still escape, but they can only be fixed to death, treated as slaves, without land, and living only on handouts.

Looking around, the dirty faces of the military households were full of numbness, and the appearance of Baiyin moved them instantly.

"General, my son also wants to be your soldier!"

"General, do you accept women?"

In an instant, the military households were bustling with each other, shouting constantly, this is the desire for survival.

Regarding this, Zhu Yixi said in a deep voice: "Except for the only child and the sick, I will accept all those under sixteen."

Now, the crowd was excited, and one by one began to greet each other.

The next day, after spending the night there, Zhu Yixi set off for Nanzheng with the excited recruits.

In addition, there are thirty or forty recruits with them, which can be described as mighty.

When he returned to Nanzheng, he was questioned by Zhao Shu:

"My General Zhu, I agree with your attempt to buy people's hearts."

"Although it's a bit old-fashioned and slightly contrived, scholars can't be fooled, but soldiers are simple-minded, but they all follow this trick."

"But!" Zhao Shu gritted his teeth and said, "You took thousands of people and went to Ningqiang. You spent a lot of food and grass just to beat up a hundred households. The gain outweighs the loss!"

"Can't you ask my opinion?"

"This—" Zhu Yixi said softly, "Do you have any good suggestions?"

"Instead of thousands of people rushing to work, it's better to arrest the hundred households and execute them directly in the barracks. By the way, bring the firearms camp over to have a look."

Zhao Shu sighed helplessly: "In this way, we don't need a few people, but the effect will be better."

"Then, shall I catch him and beat him again?"

Zhu Yixi asked carefully.

"never mind!"

Zhao Shu had no choice but to spread his hands and said, "I've already beaten you, so be more careful next time."

Zhu Yixi shook his head and sighed: "The misery of the military households is more serious than imagined. No wonder there are more and more robbers. It turns out that the frontier army and local military households have joined in a steady stream."

"Ok?"

When Zhao Shu heard this, his expression changed, and he hurriedly said: "You don't want to move the military households, do you?"

"Why not?"

Zhu Yixi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Back then, the great grandfather pacified the world, and [-]% of the land in the world was used as military farmland. During the Jiajing period, the military camps were completely destroyed, and we had to recruit soldiers."

"If you learn from the supervisor and thoroughly investigate the fields, you will get countless land for soldiers and horses."

"My General Zhu, your thinking is too simple."

Zhao Shu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "There are more than ten provinces in the world, and only Sun Dushi checks out the military settlements, and it is only the military settlements of Xi'an Prefecture."

As he said that, his eyes became sharper: "Who among the people of insight in the world doesn't know the corruption of the military settlements? But the ones who destroyed it were the generals and the local gentry, so I can't afford to offend them."

"With the general's current power, it is absolutely impossible to do it."

"Believe it or not, just as you were preparing to clear the village, someone opened the city immediately to lead the way for the intruders?"

Zhu Yixi was silent.

This is indeed true. The recruits are recruiting and training, and he can't suppress the Hanzhong Mansion, let alone offend the gentry all over the world.

"I understand."

Zhu Yixi nodded.

Zhao Shu showed a gratified smile.

"However, this account will be settled in the future."

Throwing down a harsh word, Zhu Yixi clutched his buttocks, and walked away with a stick.

On the way, he thought a lot.

The Hanzhongwei and Ningqiangwei in Hanzhong Prefecture have 10,000 taels on the roster. Theoretically speaking, it means 10,000 taels per hectare ([-] mu per hectare), which can do a lot of things.

Historically, Sun Kewang ruled Guizhou by relying on the army, that is to say, he inherited the policy of farming during the Taizu period, so it was so prosperous.

You must know that in Guizhou Province, [-]% of the land was reclaimed by the army at the beginning, so it is the right choice to use the army to farm the land.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, where diseases and famines continued, only farming could survive.

"Learn from the great grandfather and work hard to cultivate the fields."

Zhu Yixi said in a deep voice.

Back in the courtyard, the Zhang sisters suddenly burst into tears with distressed eyes.

But at this time, he unexpectedly saw Miaoxian.

In the courtyard, the cold wind was blowing, she curled up, looking around from time to time, her pretty face was flushed with cold.

The gazes around her made her feel particularly uncomfortable, and she walked around unconsciously.

"You're home!" Seeing his figure, he was overjoyed and hurried over.

The woman, with red eyes, looked at him nervously, and said anxiously, "Are you okay? I heard that you were beaten, why did you run so far away?"

"How do you get out?"

Zhu Yixi forgot the pain for a moment, and teased, "Didn't you not leave the door, and the second door?"

"I love you so much!" A red cloud rose on her beautiful face, her beautiful eyes were watery, and tears were about to flow down at any moment.

"I'm fine, fine."

Zhu Yixi hugged her, resting his chin on her shoulder.

"I heard that you are going to marry the young lady of the Sun Mansion, you won't want me!"

Miaoxian's beautiful eyes were filled with mist, and she pursed her mouth, which instantly condensed into tears and directly wetted his clothes.

"How could it be?" Zhu Yixi was stunned for a moment, and quickly comforted: "I will never give up on you. After I marry her, I will marry you back home."

Miaoxian nodded, her daughter loved her so much, she didn't let go of her hug for a while.

"Report, General, there is an urgent letter from Dasan Pass—"
