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

Chapter 98 Reorganization of the Armies
The next day, the armies began to reorganize.

According to Zhu Cihong's instructions, Hong Niangzi first reorganized Huang Degong's right army.

Of the [-] elite soldiers who attacked Shanhaiguan, except for [-] family members, they were transferred back to Wu Sangui.

The remaining 1 and [-] captured Han soldiers were all assigned to the right army, and the missing [-] regular soldiers were selected from military households to supplement them.

Then there is the British Gongzuo Army, which is still [-] honored and noble children, and another [-] young and strong men will be selected as regular soldiers.

Afterwards came Zhou Yuji's rear army, with 6 troops under his command, allocated [-] to Wu Sangui's front army, and then selected [-] from each of Liu Zeqing, Gao Jie, and Liu Liangzuo to allocate to the front army.

In this way, plus the [-] servants transferred back from Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui's former army also had [-] veterans, and the remaining [-] regular soldiers also selected young and strong soldiers from military households.

This made Wu Sangui feel so distressed that he would bleed, Guan Ning's iron cavalry was gone, and only one thousand of the three thousand family members remained, but he could only pinch his nose to recognize it.

Finally, there is the Chinese army. The Chinese army has [-] main soldiers and [-] auxiliary soldiers. And Wu Sanfu's remaining five thousand cavalry.

There are a total of [-] regular soldiers, almost half of them are elite veterans, and the rest are dare to fight and kill. The [-] auxiliary soldiers are all selected from [-] or [-]-year-old youths and skilled young artisans.

It can be said that the overall strength of the Chinese army is greater than the sum of the four armies. Of course, this is only temporary.

Besides the central army, among the remaining four armies, Huang Degong's right army is the strongest, followed by Zhou Yuji's rear army, then Wu Sangui's front army, and British Duke's left army is at the bottom.

The troops of Liu Liangzuo and Gao Jie were not incorporated into the Five Armies, and Hong Niangzi transferred several thousand from Liu Liangzuo to Gao Jie, resulting in the strength of both of them being only over [-].

When the two saw His Majesty, they were not given a place to guard, nor were they incorporated into the five armies, and they felt a little uneasy.

Zhu Cihong also personally supervised the reorganization of refugees, and there are more than 130 million refugees in the city.

When we first entered the city, we made preliminary statistics, and they were also grouped according to hundreds of people, so the speed of reorganization was not slow.

Except for some skilled carpenters and blacksmiths who were selected, the remaining 120 million people were all classified as temporary military households. These military households had no other restrictions except temporary military management.

You don't need to be a military household for generations, you can also study for fame, and you can even leave to do business at any time.

So the refugees didn't have much resistance. For them now, as long as they have food and don't starve to death, that's all.

120 million people were organized into 120 military settlements.

There are 1 people in each village, and each village has ten production brigades with about 1000 people, and each production brigade has ten production teams with about 100 people.

In just five days, the You Army was the first to complete the reorganization. Huang Degong marched towards Yongping Mansion with more than [-] military households in [-] military settlements.

In the following ten days, the remaining three armies also completed their reorganization, and began to go to the three sides of the capital to garrison fields.

The Chinese army was stationed in the western suburbs of the capital, practicing every day, with no reduction in rations and no change in military pay.

This time, due to the capture of the Tartar camp, not only some grain and grass were seized, but also a large number of mules and horses, totaling more than [-] horses, and each army divided [-] horses. It can be said that it solved the urgent need of cattle shortage.

With the arrival of the three armed forces, the north, south and south sides of the capital were full of military households rushing to harvest wheat and enclose land, and the work was in full swing for a while.

Each army took the village as a unit, and each village enclosed at least [-] mu of land. A production brigade was responsible for farming [-] mu, and a small team was responsible for farming [-] mu, which was about [-] mu per capita.

As for how to accurately allocate the land to the names of the veterans, it was actually very simple. They didn't measure it at all, but just casually pointed out who owned the land, anyway, it was only in name.

These lands will eventually be distributed to these military households after all, but Zhu Cihong has not made it clear now.

However, how many mu of land each veteran should be allocated is clearly recorded in the accounts, and each person was informed of the specific amount.

This made all the veterans laugh. They didn't care about continuing to serve for another three years. Anyway, there was a monthly military salary, including food and housing, and the land was there, which could be seen and felt.

So when they were sent to various production teams to help, all of them were full of energy, even more diligent than those military households.

The same soldiers with money and land have also become popular, and countless military households want to marry their daughters to them.

However, there is a rule in the army that marriage is not allowed within three years, so in the end they can only choose to get engaged first, Zhu Cihong did not interfere with this.

The management of each production team is also very loose. Each small production team elects a captain and two deputy captains, distributes rations on a monthly basis, and completes production tasks on time.

Each production brigade also sent only two veterans, and each village sent a low-level officer, a military supervising eunuch, and [-] veterans to maintain law and order and resolve conflicts between military households.

What is enforced is all military laws, and there are only a few in total, but all of them are scary.

Stealing, robbing, raping money, fighting with weapons, once verified, they will be executed!
Gathering crowds to fight, fight, and molesting women, once discovered, they will be beaten with ten army sticks at least, and fifty army sticks at worst.

Other than that, there is nothing special that needs to be observed, because management talents are limited, and it is not a good thing to manage too broadly.

The gentry and landowners who had their fields fenced off naturally complained terribly, but facing the wolf-like army and being labeled as a traitor to the enemy, they could only resign themselves to their fate.

Landlords whose land had not been enclosed also sent servants and stewards to Hejian Mansion to buy grain and recruit tenants to resume production.

The gentry whose land has been enclosed can only choose to relocate their family. Anyway, they have money and contacts. As long as there is no disturbance, they can buy land and reset their family business wherever they go. After all, there is a lot of idle and abandoned land in the north.

And Zhu Cihong also put his energy into rectifying internal affairs, and the first ones to be rectified were Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

"Li Aiqing, from now on, Jin Yiwei will cancel the right to kill first and then act later, and will no longer be in charge of investigating and handling cases, and will only be in charge of gathering intelligence."

"The next step will be a major rectification. The Beizhen Prefecture and a large number of professionals will be handed over to the East Factory. Some people with bad conduct will also be selected. At that time, I will set up a new department to resettle them."

"It's Your Majesty!"

Li Ruolian saw that His Majesty was going to take back the power of Jinyiwei and reduce the number of personnel, not only did not feel disappointed, but heaved a sigh of relief.

Now in the capital of Jin Yiwei, there are nearly [-] people who carry knives and eat the imperial food. Although he tried his best to restrain them, after all, there are too many murders, good and bad. Almost everyone in the capital fears and hates, like a mouse crossing the street. Sooner or later It's over.
