The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 496 Ming Dynasty does not allow it

"Crackling."

In the wilderness, there was suddenly a sound of horse hooves, and several children appeared, chasing a deer.

One of the boys was sitting steadily on the horse.

He did not pull the reins, but raised the gun with both hands to aim. Pulling the bow required strength, which would destroy the balance, but shooting did not require it, so the boy remained steady.

"Bah."

A gunshot rang out and the deer was hit by lead bullets.

The hot lead bullet was shot into the deer's body, and the exploded fragments rolled in the deer's flesh and blood. The severe pain caused the deer to jump up out of thin air and move around in place.

The children happily gathered around and tied the deer with a rope so that it could no longer run away.

These children, whose oldest were thirteen or fourteen years old and whose youngest was eight or nine years old, took their prey back to their own areas.

Places that appear to be uninhabited are actually owned by their owners.

Haicheng.

The military reform here has long since ended. Each military household has been allocated [-] acres of land, some even have [-] acres of land, and [-] acres of mountainous land.

Over the past few years, earth-shaking changes have taken place.

The railway passing through Haicheng extends to [-] Guards, and a large number of eunuchs contributed to the construction of the railway.

at this time.

The adults in Katai are at the home of Chief Katai. The military report brought back by Chief Katai from the guard office tells the story of the Yingtian Mansion case.

"This captain is bloody and a good man."

"I heard he's only 19 years old."

"So young."

With the opening of railways, the convenience of communication, and the role of newspapers, information from north to south has been exchanged more effectively.

The military households in Liaodong can know what is happening thousands of miles away.

"How is it judged?"

"Exiled member."

"It's a pity. The 19-year-old captain, I heard that he rose through the ranks based on his military exploits. If he continues to serve for a few years, he might become a guard or a battalion commander."

Katai is divided into eight households, and with the increase of wild animals in the natural environment, the military households not only did not lose their organization, but became more united.

This is determined by the environment.

Under the large-scale well system, people need to be more united, which is of great help to both work and life.

"When will the staff of the Military Economic Cooperative come to our Katai?" someone asked with concern.

"It should only last a few days," Katai said.

The population of Liaodong is growing rapidly and there are many immigrants.

In addition to the allocation of acres, what is even more enviable is the allocator's wife, and she is a good wife, not someone who deals with people.

The total population of Liaodong, excluding eunuchs, has increased from 30 million military households initially moved to 40, to one million this year.

On the one hand, there is the immigrant population, and on the other hand, there are a large number of newborns.

of millions of people.

More than 20 people immigrated from the mainland, of which men accounted for the majority, followed by a large number of young women brought by the Koryo trading group.

The human trade that has been taking place for eight years has brought at least more than [-] women and children to Liaodong, and has given birth to more than [-] newborns.

The population growth in Liaodong is staggering.

soon.

Staff from the Military Household Economic Cooperative came and brought information that the military households were concerned about.

"Nurgandusi's railway construction plan has been launched, and eunuchs will be the main labor demand."

"The Nuergan Cavalry Battalion is established. It is expected to recruit one thousand new soldiers from military households. The recruitment time will be at the end of this year."

"Only a thousand."

The military households complained.

After finally waiting for the opportunity to expand the army, only a thousand places were given, which was not enough to fill a gap. Many military households were worried that they would not be able to grab it.

The new army implements the system of serving as soldiers in other places.

The soldiers of the First, Second and Third Battalions of Liaodong mainly come from the mainland. Local military households in Liaodong serve as soldiers, and they also go to other places.

Nuergandusi has not yet been included in Liaodong Dusi. Historically, with the submission of various Nuergan tribes, Nuergandusi no longer has the need to exist and is directly managed by Liaodong Dusi, because it was originally supplied by Liaodong Dusi.

Now Zhu Gaochi has not canceled Nuergan Dusi because he wants to build a railway in Nuergan.

It is very difficult to build railways in Nurgandusi.

But no matter how difficult it is, just use heads to make it up.

It is as difficult to build a railway as it is to build the Great Wall. The Great Wall is built in dangerous mountains.

On top of that, castration is used, so what else is there to consider.

With the opening of the Liaodong Railway, the construction of the Nuerqian Railway has started, and preparations for [-] eunuchs have been completed.

However, there are not many people willing to immigrate to Nuergan. Liaodong has only one million people, but as long as the railway is built, there will be no problem.

Only relying on the newly established Nuergan Cavalry Battalion can firmly control Nuergan.

After leaving the house of Katai Nagasaki, the military households returned to their own homes.

The woman made a fire to cook, and the children dispersed and went home.

The eldest son is bathing the horse.

"I'm so busy."

The old man saw it from a distance and was amused by his eldest son's preference, but he didn't say anything. The two younger brothers followed behind their eldest brother, as well as two daughters.

Unlike others, the old man moved to Liaodong with his mother-in-law, unlike others who married a barbarian woman who could not speak.

"father."

The children saw their father and surrounded him one after another. Several hounds also ran after the little masters, sticking out their tongues and breathing.

The big tabby cat on the eaves lay weakly on the tiles, its eyes full of contempt.

There was a lot of excitement around the old man.

"Stop eating, go to the Wei Si Yamen to sign up first."

"Recruiting?"

The eldest son asked in surprise.

The old man nodded.

Seeing this, the eldest son did not dare to delay at all and got on the saddle again.

"Can't you change the horse?"

The old man said impatiently, the hair of the bay horse was not even dry yet.

The eldest son was reluctant to part with him.

He just loves his horse.There were two horses in the stable, but my father said that this horse was given to him as his most beloved gift.

None of the younger siblings had their own horses.

The power of the large well system slowly changed people's living environment. In the shed that was used as a warehouse, there were several types of farm machinery and various farm tools.

Industry feeds agriculture, and agriculture supports the population.

And the large well system is like a farm.

Every household had more livestock, and it was not uncommon for a military household to have two or three horses.

"The eldest brother has gone to the army, and the family has lost a labor force."

The woman saw that the eldest son was missing from the family having dinner. After asking about it, she worriedly said that she actually did not want her son to become a soldier.

"You're a woman and you know a lot about this."

The old man said nonchalantly.

"I just read the military newspaper. I really think I am a scholar." The woman said with disdain.

The old man looked proud.

They often read military newspapers together, which has become a habit and adds luster to their lives. It is more like a way of entertainment.

The military newspaper said.

The load of land is limited, which is not as unlimited as the development of industry.

One hundred acres of land seems like a lot, but when a family has five, six, seven, eight or ninety children, coupled with good food and the development of medicine, the survival rate becomes higher.

Girls get married and boys get wives.

Everyone immediately had three or five small families.

In less than a generation, the number of acres of land has become less and less available.

If you want to maintain the prosperity of your family business and keep your family prosperous forever, you need more land. Only by serving as a soldier and gaining military merit can you continue to be allocated more land.

When a large family becomes a small family of three or five, the original one hundred acres of land needs to be converted into three hundred and five acres of land.

Expansion from generation to generation is the guarantee of the family's eternal survival.

The old man believed what the military newspaper said.

In order for each of their descendants to have [-] acres of land, they must serve as soldiers. Those who cannot become soldiers can only guard the [-] acres of land until the average per capita becomes ten acres, five acres, and then back to the past. life.

This truth is so transparent, who can’t understand it?

The boss came back from Weisi Yamen.

While eating the meal left for him, the old man asked from the side: "Have you signed up?"

"I've already reported it. The Chief of Staff of the Wei Department said I'll wait for notification."

"During this period, practice the skills that I have entrusted to you. You will still need to be tested when you are notified."

The old man ordered.

The boss devoured it, nodding as he ate.

After a while, outside Beizhen.

More than two thousand young people between the ages of 20 and [-] stood neatly on the school ground in Beizhen. Everyone was familiar with the passwords.

Then there are the assessments on weightlifting, riding, archery, and firearms.

The officials of Liaodong Dusi and the local generals were amazed.

"Everyone is a good candidate."

"It's a pity that we can only recruit 1000 people."

"The fact that we can have a thousand places is because of Mr. Guo's favor. Otherwise, the number of three to five hundred would be overwhelming."

It's good to be a soldier.

The treatment and status of being a soldier are first class.

Who wouldn’t rush to be a soldier?

The number of military households in each of the eleven northern provinces has never been revealed because it is a military secret.

But many people have guessed that the size of military households has at least tripled compared to Hongwu 25 years.

There are too many monks and too little porridge.

It's not that easy to be a soldier.

"They are also literate, can count, are proficient in martial arts, have great strength, and understand military orders." A military attaché counted on his fingers: "Everyone is a promising officer."

"In previous years, I would have never dared to think about something."

"Some tribes say that we are only powerful because of our weapons. They really don't know the heights of the world. Even with cold weapons, our current Ming army is invincible."

……

golden state.

The envoys from Japan had never seen so many and such big ships before, and they were already so shocked that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear.

I have long heard about the power of the previous dynasty, but now seeing is believing, there is no chance anymore.

"We do not support Ouchi Yoshihiro's war."

The Ming official said with a smile. Next to him were Ma Baozhou, the person in charge of Jinzhou Forest Farm, and several owners of Shiba Trading Company.

The envoy from Japan secretly glanced at Hirata Masamune.

Hirata Masamune sat on his knees on the floor, lowering his head and ignoring the Japanese envoy.

He was a member of the Shiba Trading Company and had nothing to do with the Japanese state. He received the Ming Dynasty's military license and returned to the command of the Jinzhou Navy.

The Japanese envoy was angry.

The people in the upper court hoped that Japan would maintain its status quo so that the Eighteen Commercial Banks could take advantage of Japan's national conditions and transport a large number of people to Jinzhou every year.

The men served as eunuchs, and the women bore children for them.

It makes people dare to be angry but dare not speak out.

"But what should we do if the traitorous general Ashikaga Yoshimitsu raises an army to attack our lord?" the Japanese envoy said helplessly.

The contradictions between the two parties are irreconcilable.

His superior is below and must strike first to gain the advantage.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was the shogun, but in the eyes of Ouchi Yoshihiro and others, he was a traitor and a careerist, and was not recognized by them.

"The Eighteen Merchant Guilds will protect the situation in Japan and will never let His Excellency Yoshihiro Ouchi be harmed."

Ma Baozhou smiled.

According to the new plan, the large-scale development project is about to start, and the number of eunuchs will not decrease, but will rise sharply.

The Japanese country will not be unified.

Because Ming Dynasty does not allow it.

Historically, Ouchi Yoshihiro launched a rebellion this year and was eventually eliminated by the shogunate, which stabilized the state of Japan.

It would take a hundred years for the Warring States Period to begin, but Zhu Gaochi couldn't wait that long, so maintaining the current situation was the top priority.
