The visitor claimed to be the housekeeper of Changsha General Kou Huiyin. The purpose of this trip was to send a letter to Chen Wen, the prince of Kuaiji, the Ming Dynasty, for his master.

After tearing open the envelope, the content of the letter appeared.

"Kuaiji County Prince Junjian..."

The Qing Dynasty's military commander in Changsha Prefecture was the general at first, but later changed to the deputy general. As the Ming army in the southwest broke out with the power that the Qing Dynasty could not imagine, especially after the battle between the two famous kings and the fork in the road, the Qing Dynasty began to change its military strategy, from relying on the Eight Banners of the Manchus to the Han Dynasty. After catching up with this wave of turmoil, the original Changsha deputy general was once again restored to the general of Changsha.

The Biao Camp in Changsha Town has three battalions, each with one thousand soldiers, and exists as the local green camp of Changsha Prefecture. This general was originally a sergeant general from Henan. He was promoted to deputy general in Changsha and then to general. It took several years to complete the second consecutive jump.

"Changsha Prefecture City, there are 3,000 troops in the army. The southwest Jingbiao is now stationed in Yuezhou, Changsha and Baoqing. Changsha Prefecture has only 5,000 troops from the admiral Nan Yikui and 2,000 troops from the deputy general Sun Sike of Changsha..."

Nan Yikui was the admiral of Zhongjingbiaoqian Town, southwest Jingbiao in history. Now he has been intercepted by Fan Wencheng and served as the admiral of Zhongzhen in the southwest Jingbiao of Fan's family. Sun Sike was one of the four generals of Hexi who later quelled the Three Feudal Rebellion, and now he is the only one who has achieved success.

Next, Kou Huiyin explained the general deployment of the Qing Dynasty in Huguang and the forces of various departments in the letter. However, the purpose of his sending people to send the letter was to sell the Changsha prefecture and Fan Wencheng's Changsha shogunate to Chen Wen!

"The sin will know that the sin is serious, and now I have repented. I am begging the king for forgiveness. The sin will be willing to work hard for the king..."

In the letter, Kou Huiyin expressed his regret for his long-term service for the Qing Dynasty and his admiration for Chen Wen, the commander of the Ming army that was so powerful that he was the world. It was naturally easy to understand that the deployment of the troops was nothing more than to win the trust of him. After all, this letter was sent out at a risk of death, which shows his sincerity. Kou Huiyin also expressed his willingness to join Chen Wen's command, and his letter of fame was Fan Wencheng's Changsha Shogunate and Changsha Mansion.

These are all easy to understand and can be said to be reasonable. After all, in the current situation, the Qing Dynasty was attacked from both sides in Huguang. The current stalemate is nothing more than the suddenness of Liu Wenxiu's troops disappearing with Lu Mingchen's defeat, and Chen Wen is still in the stage of digesting the fruits of victory. If the Ming army in the southwest increases its investment in the Huguang battlefield or Chen Wen digests it, the balance will probably be broken. No matter how you look at the Qing Dynasty's rule in southern Huguang is dusk.

The enemy is strong and we are weak, and it is inevitable that some internal shaking people will appear. In some countries in later generations, the brainwashing machines are so powerful that the situation is unfavorable, and traitors will appear, not to mention the green camp soldiers who are rebelling. When the Qing Dynasty was in great power, they could not even want their ancestors. Now that the Qing Dynasty's rule in the south is collapsing, it is normal to surrender.

After putting down the letter, Chen Wen did not ask the butler to raise his head, and said, "The Changsha Mansion is very interesting. A general, a deputy general, and a town of Jingbiaozhong, tens of thousands of troops gathered. Why do I feel that Mr. Fan is alone and a young lady who is waiting to be a girl in the boudoir, and I feel very insecure."

Chen Wen's joke was heard, and the housekeeper quickly replied: "The king doesn't know anything. Fan Ni was so anxious that he would send troops to attack after hearing the news of Hong Ni being the king. During this period, he even shrank his troops. The head of the villain heard that the leader of the villain was the leader of Guo'an, and Quanjie was very dissatisfied with this."

The letter has already explained how Fan Wencheng shrinks his troops, and Guilin Prefecture, which was stationed in the Line Guoan and Quanjie, bordering the Qing army in Yongzhou Prefecture, the southernmost occupied area of ​​Huguang. If Fan Wencheng shrinks his troops and withdraws the green camp of Yongzhou Prefecture, the Line Guoan and Quanjie will immediately become an isolated army. They are Kong Youde's generals, and it would be strange if they are satisfied in fear.

The Qing Dynasty was under great military pressure in southern Huguang, which was obvious at a glance. Seeing this, Chen Wen asked, "Fan Wencheng is interested in sending troops. Can your master be sure?"

"Can be sure!" Seeing Chen Wen ask this, the housekeeper immediately responded as if he was a conditioned reflex. "The army on Funan King is still in Changde Prefecture. If there is any loss in Yuezhou, Fan Ni can't afford this situation."

Chen Wen was very satisfied with the butler's answer, and then nodded and continued to ask him: "Fan Wencheng planned to dispatch the Eight Banners Army in Huguang, through the Three Towns of Biao and some other green camp soldiers, and the only ones left in the city are your master and Sun Sike. Your master and Sun Sike, a general of Changsha and a deputy general of Changsha, each with his own camp. What is the relationship on weekdays?"

"this……"

This question seems to make the housekeeper feel embarrassed, but Chen Wen is still a tough guy.

"What, what can't be said?"

"No, no." The housekeeper shook his head like a rattle. "Sun Sike, who relied on being a bannerman, bullied my general on weekdays..."

"A deputy general dares to ride on the general's head?" Chen Wen laughed and then said to the butler: "Go back and tell your master. When I lead the army to recover Changsha, the person named Sun will be handed over to your master for disposal."

The housekeeper was sent away by the personal soldiers of the Kuaiji County Prince's Mansion, and Chen Wen asked Li Ruixin, who was sitting but not speaking, "How?"

"It's a 55-5 number."

Hearing this answer, Chen Wen smiled slightly. "At least 90% of it is true."

"What about the last 10%?"

"It's not important." After saying that, Chen Wen called a battalion officer. "Record, order Jing'an Camp and Fengcheng Camp to set off tomorrow's camp and walk to Fenyi County, Yuanzhou Prefecture for running-in training."

Jing'an County, Nanchang Prefecture, is the same as Fengcheng, which is the head of the newly trained recruits in the Nanchang Newcomer Training Camp. Many of them participated in the previous two battles and the cavalry, artillery and engineers trained in Zhejiang, and the proportion of veterans is higher than that of the subsequent battalions. The group has just been organized in the past two days, and relevant running-in training is required. The Fenyi County of Yuanzhou Prefecture is located east of Yuanzhou Prefecture City. After the arrival of these two battalions, they can also serve as the backing of Yuanzhou Prefecture City.

After receiving the order, the officer gave a flat chest and turned his head out. After hearing Chen Wen's order, Li Ruixin immediately understood what he intended. Next, Chen Wen issued another order to a personal soldier, which further confirmed his idea.

"Send this information to Changde Mansion and hand it over to King Funan."

The matter came to an end. Chen Wen did not go to the recruit training camp to inspect, but handled some official duties, and a new round of meetings was held until the afternoon.

This is a good idea. The officials under the camp and the Jiangxi Governor's Office have already received a notice that their itinerary was changed by some things, which has squeezed out some time, but they are still far from being anxious for the meeting in advance. After all, this era is not like later generations. A mass-sent-communication internal email is enough. The officials present had their own itineraries. At that time, many people were not in the official hall. When they were summoned, they had to invite them to have a working meal before they could start work. Why bother?

The content of the afternoon meeting is very important. Due to the large number of return from the investigation team and the reports submitted by various prefectures and counties, some administrative orders can also be issued after summary.

"According to the summary of reports from various prefectures, counties and government offices and investigation teams, Jiangxi Province, aside from the southern Jiangxi area, has abandoned no less than 100,000 hectares of wasteland!"

What does 100,000 hectares mean? In later generations, every ten hectares of land was only three hectares at this time. According to records, the land in a province of Jiangxi was 401,151 hectares and 27 acres per cent, which means that one quarter of the land in Jiangxi has become wasteland now.

This figure of 100,000 hectares is just a roughly conservative estimate, and the actual situation will inevitably be worse. There is no way. Jiangxi has been repeatedly slaughtered, the population decline is too large, and land abandonment is inevitable. Such a quantity is almost the total amount of land in Fujian, and it is also the sum of Guangxi and Guizhou!

"Now, various prefectures and counties have recruited a group of refugees to cultivate farmland. According to the conventional practice in Zhejiang, the land belongs to them for five years. However, the number of farmland in private households needs to be limited. This is the principle. Governor Wang must continue to make orders to prevent officials from privately receiving them."

The purpose of restricting the land of civilians is to ensure the stability of military merit and military resources. Zhejiang has been doing it for many years, but it has not been a matter of collusion between officials and gentry. Jiangxi is a newly occupied area, and the amount of wasteland is much larger than that of the eight prefectures in eastern Zhejiang. However, the number of land distribution this time is also extremely huge, and you have to be careful in your calculations.

"The lower official obeys the order."

Moving to Wang Jiang to sit down, Chen Wen then said: "The military merits and field teaching system is the basis for my Jiangsu and Zhejiang Kings' Division to rush southeast..."

Confucius said that if you have enough money, you will know etiquette. Chen Wen firmly believes that only by improving and implementing the military merit system can soldiers calm down, sweat on the training ground for military merit, and not avoiding the edge of the battlefield and moving forward bravely!

The eight prefectures in Zhejiang are mainly concentrated in Jinhua and Quzhou. These two prefectures have been reclaimed for the longest time and have a lot of land. Now, Chen Wen needs to strengthen the rule of Jiangxi, so it is also necessary to divide land, especially the several prefectures near Poyang Lake, which have fertile land and are just used for farming.

"The first batch of military farms in Jiangxi have won the Siming Lake victory, Yushan victory, Guangxin Mansion victory and the recovery of Ningbo, Shaoxing, Jiangxi provinces in Zhejiang, Guangdong and Fujian for their meritorious battles."

"The great victory of Siming Lake, our Jiangsu and Zhejiang Kings defeated the Eight Banners in Hangzhou, including two thousand of the eight Banners of Manchuria, Mongolia and Han Army, and the reward was honored. The Yushan victory was in two battles before and after, and our army and the Ganzhou Green Camp who trained the Spanish phalanx, had better military merit than the Eight Banners Army. The great victory of Guangxin Prefecture, the enemy army was at the end of the powerful crossbow, but the rebel Hong Chengchou was awarded the head, so he should also follow the superiority, but it should be lower than the Siming Lake victory. As for the recovery of lost territory, it will be implemented according to normal standards."

The summary of military merits has long been completed, and even the calculations according to various standards have long been completed. This is just to announce the orders to start execution.

The soldiers in the army waited for a long time for the division of land, but fortunately it was inevitable to divide the land, and there was no rush. The order was set out from Nanchang. Although the division of land was limited to Jiangxi, there were also the great victory of Siming Lake and the recovery of Ning Shao in some Yingtou in eastern Zhejiang. The news soon spread throughout the occupied areas of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and everywhere there was a lot of joy.

In the training camp of the recruits in Nanchang, there is a way to get the moon before approaching the water. Although the recruits here are not qualified to be assigned to military merits, they are the first group of soldiers to get the news.

As in previous divisions, some of the meritorious soldiers will officially announce their military achievements and the number of divisions in front of the recruits in the recruit training camp, which can further enhance their enthusiasm for training and their desire for military achievements.

Huang Chengming stood in the queue and looked at the distance at the point station in the distance. The large iron horn made him clearly hear that the Gao Daming Army on the stage was a grenade named Lu Yihao.

The grenadier shined in the Yushan Victory and was full of popularity. Although Huang Chengming had no chance to see it with his own eyes, he could always hear people ask officers such as training officers and military supervisors questions such as "How to become a grenadier". Several times he had become extremely curious about this army that he had never heard of. Especially when the answers to those questions were often "You are still early" or "Grenadiers can only be served by veterans". The smiles of disdain or encouragement made him fascinated.

On the point-soldier's platform in the distance was a grenadier, standing straight in front of the prince he had seen during training, the legendary commander of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming Army, and received a certificate of military merit and a certificate of military merit.

"Two hundred and five acres!"

There was a clear sound of swallowing sound from the audience, which was inevitable. In this era, Jiangxi was produced by one acre of land, and a strong laborer ate about 600 kilograms a year, which was one acre of one and a half to two acres, but he could serve five acres of land. This means that in this battle, the grenadier became a landlord in the countryside!

Grenadiers were of great merit in the Battle of Yushan, so the land rewards were naturally more rewarded. Lu Yihao was injured in that battle and was unable to participate in the next attack on Guangxin Prefecture and the northern bastion of Guangxin Prefecture. His military achievements in killing the guerrilla general Zhao Liangdong were originally due to the merits and demerits. Later, the military supervisor spoke for him and boosted his morale, so he reluctantly calculated that five acres of land came out.

I am sorry for Zhao Liangdong, one of the four generals of Hexi in the Qing Dynasty. His great head is only worth five acres of barren land in the eyes of the general who calculates military merits, and there is no place to make sense.

Shocked by this reward, Huang Chengming swallowed, and for a moment, his mind showed that if the reward was his, how many tenants would have to hire to take care of the math problems. This shock made his brain much slower than usual.

Soon, the grenadier came down from the troop platform, and with another call, a spearman named Liao Yiran strode up.

No matter how much Lu Yihao, Liao Yiran is a new recruit. He had seen this scene off the stage, but this was the first time he went on stage. He was already nervous and didn't know how to place his hands.

Huang Chengming in the audience could not see these, but the recruits could also be rewarded on stage, which immediately attracted his attention. After the military reward was announced, he was even more shocked.

"One Hundred and Five Acres!"

A new recruit could become a landlord. Huang Chengming widened his eyes and couldn't believe what happened in front of him. It was not until a moment later that his brain was restored to normal operation that he understood the reason. Although Liao Yiran only added the local garrison to Nantang Camp after the Siming Lake victory, the opponent of the Yushan victory was Hong Chengchou, the most famous Hong Chengchou. According to the training officer of their team, the Ganzhou Green Camp is also the strongest green camp soldier of the Tartars. If this combination can be defeated in one fell swoop, the reward is naturally indispensable.

After the commendation meeting ended, Lu Yihao and Liao Yiran and other commended soldiers will also return to Zhejiang for vacation. In fact, the situation everywhere is still very urgent. It is precisely because they need to go back for vacation and pass by Nanchang, so they will ask them to come to the stage to assist in brainwashing. After all, this is a practical benefit rather than a dry slogan. The effect of brainwashing is as good as ever, especially when you find a new recruit as a role model, the effect seems to be better than before.

When the new recruits like Huang Chengming were secretly making up their minds, Chen Wen also returned to the headquarters.

In addition to rewarding military merits and strengthening actual control over Jiangxi province, Chen Wen also thought clearly that he wanted to further strengthen the military merits and landlord group of the Ming Army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

This was an inevitable need for the Anti-Qing War, and it was also the capital for him to fight against the Confucian scholar-official class. With his reform of the old Ming system in recent years, Zhang Juzheng's fate was always reminded that this was what Sun Yu had said to him, and it was also the concern that he would inevitably have as his exchanges with Zhou Yueying became increasingly profound after he got married.

After nearly three hundred years, the old system of the Ming Dynasty has long been corrupt. Even if he does not mention this, he has been in the cracks in recent years and has relied on more advanced military systems and some supporting changes to stand out. Like Qi Jiguang's military thought, it is not as simple as a mandarin duck formation.

However, once they embarked on the road of reform, vested interest groups will inevitably become mortal enemies. Many of the gentry and officers of the old garrison in Zhejiang have become stepping stones for the rise of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so they will naturally not give up. In Jiangxi, gentry and officers of the garrison in Jiangxi are naturally indispensable. Even Chen Wen of the three royal palaces has made up his mind to swallow it in one bite. Not only for those industries, but also because of this, the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang can be tied closer together with him.

"If you are suing, you will not hire a barracks to accompany you. Even if you don't debate, you can drown you. If you sue the emperor, even if you are supported by the emperor Yongli or his trusted minister, hundreds of thousands of iron armor on the Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces expressed their solemn protests, no one can do anything to me..."
