Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 466
Zhu Changyuan has already prepared his fangs. I don't know if the tsar will come to China's territory to act wildly. Anyway, Siberia is going to be decided.

"The fourth military region, put it here!"

With a slight movement of Zhu Changyuan's hand, he crossed tens of thousands of miles on the map in an instant, and clicked on the Sichuan Basin: "Chengdu Military Region!"

The establishment of the Chengdu Military Region is of great significance.

Because Chengdu is not only close to Yunnan, but also close to Tibet, and not far from Qinghai and Gansu.It can be said that once the Chengdu Military Region is established, its threat range and radiation range are the largest among all military regions.

If you advance, you can rely on Chengdu to launch wars against Tibet, Burma or even India, and if you retreat, you can protect the country and the people.

"The 30 permanent troops of the Chengdu Military Region must all be elite soldiers!" Zhu Changyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Kong He and said with a smile, "Don't be so surprised, these 30 troops are very useful."

After explaining the role of the Chengdu Military Region to Kong Heyi, this guy will understand.

"The fifth military region is dominated by navy and supplemented by infantry!" Zhu Changyuan clicked on the map with his hand, but his eyes fell on Taiwan, and said: "Just put it in Taiwan. I think Hong Chengchou can also serve as the general manager." Officer, what do you think?"

Kong He thought for a while, and felt that Zhu Changyuan's idea was very good.

Although Zheng Chenggong made great contributions in the process of capturing Taiwan, it is a pity that he is too young after all. Being an admiral of a navy is already enough for him to be a badass for a while. God.

Now Hong Chengchou happens to be the governor of Taiwan, and the integration of military and government will help him implement Zhu Changyuan's ideas more thoroughly.

"Your Majesty is wise." Kong He complimented Zhu Changyuan.

Zhu Changyuan's face remained unchanged, and he said while thinking: "The world today has entered a world of great contention. Those navigating powers on the earth are vying to occupy territory, colonize and plunder one by one. My Ming Dynasty is taking it slow!"

"So, I want to build the most powerful fleet in the world on Taiwan Island, invincible. If it is small, it can quickly help the Indochina Peninsula and the Indian Peninsula. If it is large, it will be ready to occupy the entire Asia and Europe in the future. .”

"These five major military regions will be established in China. As for foreign countries!" Zhu Changyuan glanced across the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea on the map, staring straight at the Korean Peninsula, and said: "I want to establish a coalition base on the Korean Peninsula. It's good to deter Fusang and invade Beihai!"

I clicked on a town near the sea in the south of the Joseon Dynasty, and after pondering for a while, said: "We still need to send envoys from Honglu Temple to communicate about this matter, to see what the King of Joseon's attitude is, and whether he can tolerate my army. They went to their country. Your cabinet can figure it out!"

Zhu Changyuan said again: "The garrison and navy on Riyue Island will slowly move to Taiwan in the future to support Hong Chengchou and Mu Tianbo!"

Even though Zhu Changyuan is far away in the capital, he never forgets Taiwan, Hong Chengchou, and his land reform.

At this time, Hong Chengchou was developing Taiwan in full swing and building a government office.

Hong Chengchou was very discerning and chose Zeelandia City as the political center of the entire Taiwan on the spot, and changed Zeelandia City to Tainan City, the capital of Taiwan Province.

According to Taiwan's topographical characteristics and the size of the territory, three prefectures and six counties were set up, and some basic officials were appointed in each county, and some silver taels were allocated, and the establishment was completed.

Although the institutional system is completed, it is not known when the construction will be completed!

Since the time Zhu Changyuan set for him was at the end of the second year of Taizheng, it was impossible for Hong Chengchou to wait until the yamen was built before starting the work of land reform, but to carry out land reform and yamen construction simultaneously.

The first step is to divide the whole Taiwan into six counties, appoint basic official positions such as county magistrate, county lieutenant, and chief catcher, allocate some money, and assign [-] soldiers to each county.First, publicize enlightenment to the common people in all counties, declare the imperial court's orders, and let the common people know that someone is in charge and protected.

Then, the second step is to start an inventory of all the population of Taiwan Province, register and establish household registration, customize the marriage system, and promulgate the Ming law.

While registering and compiling the book, Hong Chengchou also asked his officials to pay attention to and record how many rich households, how many landlords, and how many poor people there were in each county.

After the household registration system was established and perfected, in the third step, Hong Chengchou began to measure land on a large scale, especially arable land.

Measuring land is a laborious and meticulous job, not something that can be done by one or two people or one or two hundred people. In addition to mobilizing 200 troops, Hong Chengchou also fully mobilized the assistance of prominent families and common people from various places to measure and measure together.

The work was unexpectedly difficult.

It's not that it's difficult to work, but it's difficult to perform.

Too much resistance!

When the land was measured, the owners of those lands were very conflicted.The big landlords with a little bit of power didn't pay much attention to Hong Chengchou's officials. They even used private soldiers to drive away the soldiers and officials who went to measure.

This kind of thing does not happen to a certain household in a certain village, but happens every day in all places in the six counties.

According to this situation, it will be difficult to complete land surveying by the end of next year, not to mention land reform.

Hong Chengchou thought hard, but he couldn't think of any good solution all night. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Take all the soldiers out, start with one county, and measure the land one by one. Anyone who dares to object will be arrested and whipped!"

Carrying out Zhu Changyuan's simple thought, after Hong Chengchou divided the six counties in Taiwan, he named them in line with Zhu Changyuan: one county, two counties, three counties, four counties, five counties, and six counties!
It is similar to Zhu Changyuan's forced change of the calendar of the stems and branches from the first day to the thirtieth day of the new year.

So, the next day, Hong Chengchou personally led [-] officials and [-] troops into the territory of a county, and began a large-scale land survey.

Of course, resistance is indispensable.

Although they don't know what the official uniforms do to measure the land, but why let them measure their own land, many people are not fools, and they obviously feel that Hong Chengchou has not been kind, so the resistance is even more serious.

An old man named Yan in the county is the largest landowner in the area. Not only does he occupy 300 hectares of land, but his family even has more than [-] private soldiers.

Relying on his own family background, he yelled at Hong Chengchou and started to resist.

"Don't move, no one is allowed to move!" Old man Yan personally led his private soldiers, followed by his descendants and family members. Everyone had weapons in their hands. What's more, old man Yan and his sons held guns in their hands. There are such advanced things as muskets.

Three hundred private soldiers stood in the field, and the people who came to measure the land on the opposite side were stupefied.

Although Hong Chengchou brought 2 people, the 2 people can't be put together, right?

"Father, these are all officers and soldiers of the imperial court. What if we anger them?" Old man Yan's youngest son was only in his teens and was timid. He looked at the thirty or forty soldiers who were holding weapons and ropes. , a little timid.

"Don't be afraid!" Old man Yan comforted his son: "Our Yan family has been here for many years. Although we dare not say that we are kings and tyrants, we have never seen anyone come over to really take care of us. Today, the government has no objection if they want to take care of me. I can also pay taxes, but to measure our land, I can’t do it, even if I die!”

Old man Yan was very stubborn, and pointed his gun at the soldiers who came to measure, "Get out, and don't stay in my field!"

What he said was true. Although Taiwan was also under the jurisdiction of the imperial court in the Ming Dynasty, it was not easy to manage it across a strait, and he was afraid that sending troops into Taiwan would cause local separatism.Therefore, Taiwan has always been a county-level administrative unit under the jurisdiction of a prefecture in Fujian Province.

There are only a few officials in a county, how can it be possible to govern Taiwan.

Therefore, these people are used to being kings and overlords in the local area. Whether they meet officers and soldiers or become officials, they never know how to be afraid.

"Old man, we came here to measure how much land your family has, not to ask for your land, what are you afraid of!" A soldier explained to old man Yan, hoping to persuade him to complete his task.

"Yes, old man, we are only measuring your land!"

Another person fits the bill.

"Damn! Don't be hypocritical and think that I don't know what you want to do?" Old man Yan showed a contemptuous smile in his eyes, and said, "You want to pay taxes, so you come to my house to measure the land, and you want me to pay taxes according to the land. How much to pay, I tell you, there is no way!"

"There are 100 people in our family, and we only pay taxes for [-] people. Don't think about anything else. As for this land, it is a family property passed down from my ancestors. Don't think about it!"

The leading soldier smiled wryly, pointed to the private soldiers behind Old Man Yan and said, "Your family has 100 people, but your soldiers alone have [-]. Don't you pay taxes?"

Old man Yan said: "My soldiers are not my family members. Why should I pay taxes for them? If you have the ability, you can ask them for it?"

After hearing what the old man said, the three hundred private soldiers in the back waved their weapons and bared their fangs at the officers and soldiers, as if to say: Come, see if I will pay you taxes?
"When the Dutch were here, they never said they wanted to measure my land. You can't do that!"

Old man Yan is not stupid. His family has 20 hectares of land, which is almost 5000 mu. Together, they can produce [-] shi of grain per year. If the tax rate of the Ming Dynasty is followed, the annual tax payment is about [-] taels of silver.

How can this be done?
"Old man, as I said, we are only here to measure the land, and we don't collect taxes. Please help me!" The leader of the soldiers took a slight step forward as he spoke.

"Don't come, stop, stop!"

"Bang!" Before the old man finished speaking, the unknowing son behind him suddenly shot at the soldier, hitting the soldier's chest. Although the shot didn't kill him, a bloody hole opened in his chest .

"team leader!"

"team leader!"

"team leader!"

"**** your grandma!"

Seeing that the boss was beaten to death, the soldiers turned red-eyed, no matter how many people and weapons they had, they picked up the guy and started fighting with Old Man Yan's private soldiers.
