Father can be an enemy to the country

As soon as the first lunar month comes out, spring plowing can begin in eastern Yunnan.

Except for the Forbidden Army, all the troops that were converted into garrison troops were sent to various places to start military garrison.

The so-called military settlement is an agricultural collective farming system directly organized and operated by the army in order to obtain military supplies or tax grains. Compared with ordinary civilian reclamation, the legion is more organized and has a larger cultivated land area, and the court's income is higher than taxing grain from the people.

Chao Cuo of the Han Dynasty once said: "Order soldiers from far away to guard the fortress, and watch them every year. I don't know what the barbarians are capable of. It is better to choose people who live there all the time, to build their homes and fields, and to prepare for them." ’ Thus began the long history of the Han Dynasty’s army stationed at the frontier, farming and fighting.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered the Dian Kingdom, he began to farm in Yunnan.

During the Yuan Dynasty's occupation of Yunnan for more than a hundred years, the Mongols also learned from the Han army's farming methods and carried out military and civilian farming in Yunnan.

Zhu Zhen compiled the accounts left by King Liang and learned that the Yuan Dynasty had 18,000 civilian households and 8,100 military villages in Yunnan. Four hundred thousand acres.

Although compared with Boss Zhu's farmland of tens or hundreds of thousands of hectares, it pales in comparison, but for the Ming army who had just arrived, these 400,000 acres of official land were very thirsty.

Because although Yunnan is vast and sparsely populated, there is endless land waiting to be cultivated.

But for land, raw land and mature land are completely different concepts. It is common for land cultivated in the first year to yield less than 100 kilograms per mu. It takes several years of hard work to increase the yield.

Therefore, if the Ming army wanted to be self-sufficient as quickly as possible, it had to hold these 400,000 acres of official land in its hands, and the chieftains had long coveted these precious mature fields.

Before the arrival of the Ming army, Yunnan basically remained a slave society, including its productivity level. The local natives only practice slash-and-burn farming and depend on the weather for their food. If one acre of land produces dozens of kilograms of grain, it is considered a good harvest.

Can the chieftains not be covetous of the 'fertile fields' in the hands of the Yuan Dynasty that can yield two to three hundred kilograms per hour?

This was one of the reasons why the two sides had friction and even a fight last year. In the end, the Ming army paid a heavy price to regain control of the situation.

Zhu Zhen also called the local chiefs and officials to the provincial capital to drink Laba porridge, which made them reluctantly recognize the government's inheritance of the Yuan Dynasty's heritage.

In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, why don't you take advantage of this right away?

So just after the Shangyuan Festival, the commanders of the various guards ordered their troops to march towards their respective assigned farming areas.

Although there was still a lot of reluctance in their hearts, the military orders were overwhelming and the soldiers could only obey them. Fortunately, the special allowance promised by the prince has been paid to everyone, which makes everyone feel more comfortable.

Then let's make peace with it now that it's come...

And the reality is that they can't let them dawdle, although the Yunnan Dusi and the Chief Envoy have designated areas for garrisoning for each guard.

But how to divide the thousand households under the guard station, and how to divide the hundreds of households under the thousand households, have not yet been decided.

Moreover, there are only 400,000 acres of land in total, and the 200,000 troops are divided among them. Each person can only get two acres of land, which is enough to make a living.

If you want more land, you have to occupy it yourself and cultivate it!

At this time, it is definitely first come, first served. Those who come first will occupy the land, and those who arrive later can only pick up the places that others look down upon.

At this time, whoever is still getting angry and showing off their temper, lingering and refusing to move, isn’t that a fool?

So although he was reluctant with his words, he moved swiftly every step of the way. Within ten days, except for the imperial troops guarding the provincial capital, all the garrison troops stationed in Yunnan were completely gone...

Of course, protecting the regime and maintaining rule will always be the military's top priority.

Therefore, the garrison locations for the Qianhu Station of each guard post were carefully selected after repeated discussions between Zhu Zhen and the generals. They are all extremely targeted. They are either strategic locations or transportation hubs. There is absolutely no place that is insignificant——

The most important one is Yunnan Mansion. As the provincial capital, it is the center of Yunnan as a whole. It is also the location of the Dian Prince's Mansion. It is naturally the top priority for the military garrison. There are Yunnan vanguard, Yunnan rear guard, Yunnan central guard, Yunnan left guard and Yunnan right guard, as well as the Wuchang three guards who were later transferred, for a total of eight guards and forty thousand-household settlements.

A quarter of the province's total military strength is used to ensure the absolute security of the provincial capital and the provincial capital is impregnable. This was definitely frightened by the Yang Ju Rebellion last year. From the time he started his business to this day, Boss Zhu has never experienced the disastrous defeat of a provincial capital. Even when Chen Youliang's 600,000-strong army attacked Hongdu, his nephew held it back.

Yunnan Wenwu really couldn't imagine how they would be dealt with by the angry Boss Zhu if they did something unprecedented.

I beat Lao Liu and Yunnan Wenwu to death, and I don’t dare to do this again...

In addition, the Wuchang Three Guards, as the three guards of the Dian Prince's Palace in Chuhai, are expected to complete the name change process by the middle of the year and will soon be renamed Chu Wangwei, Haiwangwei, and Dianwangwei.

Moreover, the current three guards of the palace have an army of 20,000 people, all fully equipped, and they are not half the army that was missing back then...

In addition, all the prefectures under the direct jurisdiction of the province are also strategic locations that cannot be missed, and the Ming army has garrison stations.

For example, Qujing Prefecture has Qujing Guard, Chuxiong Prefecture has Chuxiong Guard, Dali Prefecture has Dali Guard, Yongchang Prefecture has Yongchang Guard, Lin'an Prefecture has Lin'an Guard, etc...

In addition, prefectures and counties located on major transportation routes have also set up health stations to guard the city. Especially on the main artery connecting the mainland from Shengjing Pass via Qujing to Kunming, four guard posts and two garrison stations for thousands of households were set up...

In short, there are a total of twenty-four guards, eight guarding Qianhu posts, and one thousand two hundred and eighty military garrison points, which are stationed in various important places in Yunnan within Sanjiang. It firmly locked all the transportation arteries and strategic locations in Yunnan, becoming the most powerful guarantee for the Ming Dynasty to develop Yunnan!

Yu Min is one of the 200,000 garrison troops.

The Qianhu Station where he was located was reorganized into the Yanglin Guard Qianhu Station.

Guarding Qianhu Station is a special establishment in the Ming Dynasty Guard System. The superiors are not subordinate to the guards, but are directly under the command of the envoys.

Generally, because the place defended by the Qianhu Station is particularly important, it is directly under the jurisdiction of the Dusi, in order to reduce the command level and improve the control strength and reaction speed of the Qianhu Station.

Yanglin Town, where Qianhusuo is based, is just 26 miles south of Songmeng Prefecture City. In the town, there is Yanglinyi, an important post station on the eastbound highway. Its function is clear at a glance, which is to protect the safety of the state capital and the smooth flow of the lifeline of the provincial capital.

Although, the setup of the Qianhu Office is actually no different from the ordinary Qianhu Office. It also has jurisdiction over 100 household offices, each of which occupies a township... From now on, it will be called a village.

The residence of their 100-household office was in Dashao Township, so it was also called Dashiotun.

The Hundred Household Office of Dashiotun is under the jurisdiction of two general banners and ten small banners, with a troop strength of 120 men.

In fact, Yu Min is now the chief flag officer. It's just that everyone has been promoted, how can there be so many people for them to take care of? So he still took care of the original Xiaoqi.

He took his ten brothers and began the rough and treacherous military life on this red land under the bright sun...
