More than 500 divided the fields, so they could only follow Zhao Han, and more than half of them had seen bloody miscellaneous soldiers.

Beating and killing the landlord is also considered bloody.

Zhao Han's way of playing is somewhat similar to the military system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties: the land is state-owned and distributed to the common people.Farm in busy time, train in spare time, and fight in wartime.

The collapse of the military system in the Tang Dynasty was due to the fact that although the land was state-owned, it could not be recovered if it was divided, and people still occupied the land when they died.Moreover, the rich and powerful family secretly engulfed state-owned land, but they did not pay taxes because of their privileges.

If things go on like this, the population will increase and the land will decrease.The people at the bottom can nominally divide the land, but the state has no land to divide, and the people have to pay taxes and fight wars.

It is not a panacea for the land to be owned by the state and the distribution of the people. The key is the execution of the middle.

Once the execution is over, no matter how good the policy is, it will also be over.

Chapter 097 [Send Wife]

In the eyes of discerning people, Zhao Han has rebelled.

Killing a few squires and big clans can only be counted as bandits; if you don't pay land and Liao salaries, you can only count as tax resistance.

Changing towns and setting up villages is a rebellion!

Towns and villages in the Ming Dynasty were only the names of settlements and had no administrative significance.

Strictly speaking, only the town and its surrounding areas, the thirty or so households counted as Huangjia Town, had only 300 people at full count.Therefore, Huangjia Town is just a small town.

In the rest of the places, according to the Lijia system, there are about 30 li and more than 300 Jiajia (the official report is not so much, because there are a lot of hidden hukou).According to the map of the capital, there are 2 capitals and 24 maps in total.

Zhao Han directly changed the administrative division of the court, abolished the Lijia system and the capital system, and set the site in his hand as Wuxing Town, with a central village and three natural villages.

From this perspective alone, Zhao Han is Daming's number one rebel!

The peasant armies in southern Gansu and western Fujian were united together and faced off against the government for several years.The Shaanxi and Shanxi peasant armies had already invaded Northern Zhili and were about to flee to Sichuan and Henan.

These insurgents made such a big noise, and no one has changed their administrative divisions.

Zhao Han and his rebellious counterparts in various provinces have shown essential differences, and they are considered a mudslide in the peasant army.

Ordinary farmers dispersed one after another, leaving only more than 500 young and strong.

"Jiang Dashan!" Zhao Han shouted.

"exist!"

Jiang Dashan came out.

Zhao Han said, "I hereby appoint you as the mayor of Wuxing Village."

Jiang Dashan thanked him with great joy. Wuxing Village belongs to the central village and is the most important among the four villages.

"Huang Yao, appoint you as the village head of Shanghuang Village."

"Huang Shun, I have appointed you as the head of Xiahuang Village."

"Li Zheng, I have appointed you as the mayor of Lijia Village."

The first batch of followers, they were allocated only a little more land than other farmers.The official position is the compensation for them, and the village chief can receive two buckets of Lumi every month!

(According to the "Research on Grain Yield per Mu in China's Past Dynasties", one stone is about 153.5 kilograms, and two buckets of rice are 30 kilograms. There is also a saying that one stone is 120 kilograms, which may be calculated by small buckets.)

In addition, due to the shortage of talents, these four also hold military positions.

There are five people in one team, ten people in one team, a small team of 50 people, and a big team of 100 people.

Zhang Tieniu, Jiang Dashan, Huang Yao, Huang Shun, and Li Zheng were all appointed as captains.

Among them, Zhang Tieniu led more than [-] people and was classified as the pacesetter under Zhao Han's direct management.

From the middle period of Jiajing to the early years of Chongzhen, the main combat force of the Ming army was actually the pacesetters of the provinces, not the servants of the generals.

The pacesetter system was born out of the battalion system and was pioneered by the famous minister Weng Wanda.

That is, the governor, the governor, the chief soldier, the deputy chief soldier, and the generals, because the army is unusable, so they choose the pacesetters to train and command themselves, which is in line with the guard system and the battalion system.The logistics of the pacesetters are also personally in charge of these chief officials. The number of pacesetters varies from several hundred to tens of thousands.

Weng Wanda has commanded tens of thousands of pacesetters, and as a civil minister, his military strength is disdainful of Jiubian.

Even in many southern provinces, governors (governors) have quotas for pacesetters.

It's very interesting, looking at the whole country, only Jiangxi governor and general soldier are not qualified to recruit pacesetters, and Scorpion Baba is the only one... This is also Zhao Han's advantage.

Huguang next door is also weak. The governor of Huguang and the chief soldier are not allowed to recruit pacesetters, but the governor of Xunyang has a small quota of pacesetters.

At the end of the second year of Chongzhen, the troops of the provinces entered the King Qin, and the main force was the pacesetters from all over the country.

They are the last elite of the Ming army, and they were directly tossed to the point of collapse, and the next battle can only rely on the hard work of the servants.

Of course, the pacesetter system has not completely collapsed.

Historically, the king of Chuang Gao Yingxiang was captured by Sun Chuanting's pacesetter.

The first two groups who followed Zhao Han to the rebellion were all appointed to military posts, and they all received extra compensation.

Zhao Han announced: "Tuanyong has no food and wages, but he manages meals during training, and there are fees and wages during wars!"

For fear of the government's encirclement and suppression, Zhao Han will not engage in ideological work for the time being, and must concentrate on military training.

"Squad leader and above, bachelors stand up!" Zhao Han said.

Twelve people stood up immediately, including Jiang Dashan, Li Zheng, Huang Yao, and Huang Shun. Sure enough, they dared to make trouble without concern.

Zhao Han asked, "Do you want to beg a wife?"

"miss you!"

sparsely answered.

Zhao Han asked, "Do you want to beg a wife, speak up!"

"Think!" everyone shouted.

Zhao Han immediately asked Chen Maosheng to bring people over, all of whom were unmarried maids and widows from big families.

Zhao Han tore up the deed on the spot and said to these women: "You are free, you can choose to go home. You can also stay in my house, and I will re-sign the contract for you. Whether you are going home or want to stay Anyone who works can choose a husband. Of course, you can also choose not. Those who want to get married, come forward!"

The eldest girl and the little widows all seemed cautious and uneasy, and no one took the initiative to come out.

Zhao Han added: "If you want to get married, I'll give half a stone of grain as a gift on the spot!"

"me……"

Finally a widow spoke up and said hesitantly, "I still have a son who is two years old this year."

This widow is the widow of Mr. Huang's confidant servant.

Zhao Han asked, "Who wants to raise a cheap son?"

The nine bachelors looked at each other, and after making eye contact, a team leader came out and said, "I am willing."

The cheap son is also surnamed Huang, so he doesn't need to change his surname.

Zhao Han asked the widow again, "Will you marry him?"

The widow looked at the squad leader. Although this man was ugly, he was quite strong, so he blushed and nodded without speaking.

Only the gentry and the big family talk about chastity, and the people at the bottom don’t care much, they can get their wives smoothly, and they can be satisfied with a full meal.

"it is good!"

Zhao Han smiled and said, "You are a family. In the past, you received half a stone of grain as a wedding gift."

The squad leader just smirked and dragged the widow behind him for fear of being robbed by others.He was so happy that he brought his wife to receive food, and he was full of energy. If the government sent troops to conquer it, this fellow would risk his life to fight with the officers and soldiers for the land, his wife, and his son.

Seeing that they formed a new family and still had food to buy, the other men and women were ready to move.

Zhao Han continued to ask the maid and the widow, "Who wants to get married?"

Immediately, more than 20 people stood up, and only a few were still embarrassed.

Huang Yao suddenly said, "Master Zhao, can I choose one first?"

Zhao Han regarded Huang Yao very highly and said, "You choose."

Huang Yao said to a maid, "Sister, come with me."

The maid cried and nodded, the more she cried, the louder she cried.

Zhao Han called Jiang Dashan and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Jiang Dashan replied: "Huang Yao is close to this person's sister, and they are married, but Huang Lao... was snatched by Huang Zundao's son to be a concubine, and later killed by his wife. Huang Yao's sister was also killed by Huang. The master was killed by mistake."

"Alas, they are all hard-fought people," Zhao Han sighed, "Go and collect the food."

Huang Yao was not in a hurry to receive the food, but knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Master Zhao, my life, Huang Yao, will belong to the master in the future. When will I die, even if the ward will make a sound!"

"Good brother, get up quickly!" Zhao Han quickly helped Huang Yao up.

Huang Yao's eyes were wet, but she couldn't hold back her tears, and took her wife to get food.

Zhao Han didn't talk about equality for everyone, and said to Jiang Dashan, Huang Shun, and Li Zheng, "You also go and choose your daughter-in-law."

The three were overjoyed, and each chose one.

Zhang Tieniu's eyes were a little hot. He was almost 30 years old and hadn't married yet. He couldn't help but say, "Master...I..."

Zhao Han smiled and said, "You also have to choose."

Zhang Tieniu already had a goal in mind, so he didn't choose a young and good-looking one, but directly picked a widow in her 20s.

Big ass, good nurturing.

Zhang Tieniu didn't ask the widow if she was willing, but said straight to the point, "Do you have any children?"

"Two sons." The widow was a little scared because Zhang Tieniu was too fierce.

"I don't dislike it. From now on, the surname is Zhang." Zhang Tieniu immediately added two cheap sons.

The widow's father-in-law was Huang Sanshui, and the body was still there and confiscated.Her husband was also a confidant and a domestic slave. He was beaten to death a few days ago, and the grass on the grave has just grown.

Gender equality?

Put it aside for now!

There is always a compromise between theory and practice. The main problem now is to deal with the government's encirclement and suppression, and the loyalty of these "officers" must be gained as soon as possible.

Above the squad leader, all wives have been allocated, and Zhao Han asked Shi Chang to choose a wife.

Xiaocui and Xiaohong, no one dared to choose.

Zhao Han asked Chen Maosheng, "You don't choose one?"

Chen Maosheng grinned and said, "I'm still young, I'll talk about it later."

The "officers" who did not get their wives were given two buckets of grain as compensation, and promised to find wives for them in the future.

Other officers who were not bachelors also received a bucket of grain each.

Ordinary soldiers, each received half a bucket of food, which was regarded as their enlistment fee.

When the wife and food were sent out, the soldiers immediately became energetic and no longer thought about deserting home.

……

Inside the Huang Family Ancestral Hall.

Pang Chunlai sat cross-legged with his sword on the ground. In front of him were two teachers, one from Huang's private school and the other from Li's private school.

"You can also see that Mr. Zhao is going to rebel," Pang Chunlai threatened. "You can either escape or report to the officials. But if you dare to leave this place, your whole family will surely die, and your land will be taken away. In the future, the Huang Family Ancestral Hall will be changed to Wuxing Private School, so you can teach with me."

The two school teachers showed bitter expressions, and neither dared to say no.

"Jiangxi deserves to be the place where the literary style is prosperous," Pang Chunlai said with emotion. "Many villages and towns in Xuanhua Township are very remote, and there has been a champion, a third flower, and a dozen Jinshi. It's hard to imagine."

The two teachers still didn't dare to speak.

The champion in Pang Chunlai's mouth came from the mountains, where Fei Yinggong is now a bandit.

It is precisely because of the emergence of Zhuangyuan, Tanhua and many Jinshi that the merger of these rural land has intensified, and there are not many self-cultivation farmers.Either big landlords or small landlords who were divided up, and all ordinary farmers became tenants!

In Huangjia Town and the surrounding villages, the Sanhuang and Li clans control 90% of the cultivated land, and their clansmen own the remaining 10%.

The total population is a little over 4000, and the young and strong male servants of their four families add up to more than 150 people, who can be converted into thugs at any time!

This is nothing, according to historical records, it is not uncommon for the Jiangnan noble family in the late Ming Dynasty to own millions of acres of land.In that kind of place, you can't find any peasants with different surnames. They're all fucking landlords and tenants.

Like a tumor, inexhaustible, dragging down Daming alive.
