Chapter 223 Secret Announcement

The changes in Yunyang garrison shocked the entire Huguang Xingdu Office, and even the adjacent garrisons in the surrounding provinces were alarmed.∮, rumors spread everywhere, people were panicked, and a breath of restlessness was everywhere.

However, after Huang Daozhou and Yang Tinglin won the first battle and achieved great success, they became more and more determined to rectify and clean up. At the request of the two, Liu Jun had to increase the intensity and speed of cleanup.

This time, we also started to clean up and rectify the five guards of Xiangyang Guards, Jingzhou Guards, Jingzhou Guards, Kuizhou Guards, and Fucheng Guards. In order to make rapid progress, Huang Daozhou Guards and Yang Tinglin listened to Liu Jun’s suggestions.

While sending troops to various garrisons, they also issued an announcement to the various garrisons that they would not blame the previous accounts of each garrison. As long as all officers hand over the occupied military fields and exempt the military households from the accumulation of the military households, the rectification team will not hold them accountable for the past crimes of occupying land, greed for the past, and write them off. They can even retain property other than grafting the military fields, including the money they have greed for over the years.

While the nine-headed bird's troops entered the garrison, they also brought the heads of the military officers of the Yunyang garrison who had been beheaded. The heads of each garrison were shown, just like when the Liaodong ruling Xiong Tingbi was executed by the court and then the heads of the nine sides were passed on.

On one hand, there is a toast and a penalty for wine.

On the one hand, the military farmland is handed over to avoid the accumulation of military households, so that they can live without any blame and even preserve their property. On the other hand, they are ready to fight and fight with nine-headed soldiers and horses around them.

In this state, although I was extremely unwilling to accept it, the final rectification was still unstoppable.

One mu of military farm was cleared and registered. Then the military station's army was also registered and registered, and finally reported to Liu Jun and Huang Daozhou and others.

"These people are honest." Huang Daozhou looked at the pages of numbers in front of him, with a happy face.

"These people are not so honest." Liu Jun looked through the report. This time, he cleared out the other six five guards in the Huguang Xingdu Department and cleared out a total of more than 1.5 million mu of military farmland, all of which were 240 steps per mu of a unified standard. They were basically mature fields, not wasteland and mountainous land. "You don't know that when the Jiutou Bird went down to clear the fields, they received countless bribes. They wanted to bribe our clear soldiers, and then they wanted to try to conceal the fields, or even change the size of the fields, or replace mature fields with wasteland and mountainous land, etc., to continue to occupy the fields."

"These borers." Huang Daozhou said hatefully.

Yang Tinglin smiled and said, "But they were finally disappointed. The soldiers of the Nine-Headed Bird are really the best military discipline I have ever seen. A lot of real money was placed in front of them, but they were unmoved at all. In the end, they not only refused, but also reported truthfully."

During the Wanli period, many such frauds also occurred in Zhang Juzheng's land across the country. Many landlords evaded rectification by bribery, then changed from large to small, and changed from wasteland to mature, and continued to occupy the land.

But this time the landlords' unsatisfactory method failed.

"In fact, not all Nine-headed birds are like this, and some of them receive gifts, but after all, they are only a few. Nine-headed bird soldiers supervised each other, and this kind of black sheep was quickly found out. I have cleaned up these rat shits, each of which has forty military sticks, and then opened Nine-headed birds.

"Actually, you don't have to be so harsh. It is inevitable that you will give them a chance to reform themselves when you make mistakes." Huang Daozhou advised that the military discipline of the Nine-Headed Bird is rare, and he couldn't help but persuade him at this time.

"If you want to maintain a good military discipline in an army, it is better to be strict than lenient. If you cannot have strict military discipline constraints and always give them a chance, then these people will be lucky in the future. If this continues, there will be no more military discipline. A thousand-mile dike will be destroyed in an ant hole, and you must prevent it from escaping."

Liu Jun gave everyone good treatment so that the soldiers could train and fight with peace of mind without considering other things like supporting their families. Although the soldiers who received gifts were just new recruits and made mistakes at the moment, Liu Jun still chose to open the market, just to let everyone know that Liu Jun would never allow those situations to happen.

"More than 1.6 million mu of mu, a total of more than 40,000 treasurys were organized, and each treasury was 40 mu of land, divided into more than 2,000 treasurys."

This time, a total of 31,000 households were cleared, and the number of military farms cleared was far less than that of Yunyang Guards. Last time, the one-san and two-san offices cleared nearly 800,000 mu of military farms, while this time, the five-san offices and six-san offices were only more than 1.6 million mu. In fact, many of the fields in Xiangyang and other places were divided into royal family vassal kings, and most of those military farms were established when the country was founded. After more than 200 years, the land was much less, which was far less than that of the Yunyang Guards, which had only been more than 100 years.

In the end, Liu Jun and others had to change the number of military farmland to 40 acres of Dingtun, and finally 40,000 tills of Dingtun were divided into land.

‘Although it is not as much as the Yunyang Vilar cleared out, it is not bad, with more than 1.6 million, plus the previous 800,000, that is 2.4 million mu, and the annual rent is 2.4 million shi. The 50,000 troops in Yunyang are completely self-sufficient, and there is even a surplus."

Even if you use grain to make rice, it usually has a 70% rate of rice production. Two million and four hundred thousand stones of rice can make rice nearly 1.7 million stones. Even if a soldier consumes more than ordinary people, six dou of rice per month is enough. At most, seven stones a year, fifty thousand soldiers a year, only 350,000 stones a year.

If we count the part consumed during the war, then if it weren't for a long battle, the soldiers' military rations would only be about 500,000 shi that year.

Even if the cleared farmland is reduced by some unexpected factors such as natural disasters, it will basically earn about 1.5 million stones of rice that year, and deduct 500,000, and there will be a million stones left.

"These grains handed over can be divided into three parts: offering, leaving the province and providing the army. For example, we have 1.5 million shi of rice rent this year, 300,000 yuan will be handed over to the court, 400,000 yuan will be left to local provincial capitals, prefectures and counties, and the remaining 800,000 will be left to Yunyang for military service. Of course, the specific situation will be divided according to the actual rent collected that year, according to this proportion." Liu Jun said.

He knew very well that once the rent of rice of 1.5 million stones was reported, countless people would definitely be watching. Although the farmland was rectified, the emperor had previously said that the rent was used to support the Yunyang army. But in fact, there would definitely be someone who would have this idea. It is impossible to just take the initiative to come up with a sharing plan and share the benefits equally.

The reason why Liu Jun made three points was not that the Yunyang army and the imperial court divided equally, but that the Yunyang government should have some food in its hands, so that it would not cause disasters and enemies to be involved, so that the people would be forced to send more money, which would make the people even more bankrupt. For Liu Jun, he was actually planning to slowly turn Yunyang into his own base camp, and of course he did not want the local turmoil and unstable.

The government has some food in its hands, so the people can bear less burdens and the places can be more stable. In the end, he can benefit.

"Next, I want to rectify the Qihuang and other guards, but these guards do not return to Xingdushi, but to Huguangdushi. Our jurisdiction seems to be a bit insufficient." Huang Daozhou became more and more fierce in the battle, but at this time there was a problem before everyone.

The six and eight offices they rectified before were all under the jurisdiction of Huguang Xingdu Office, that is, under the jurisdiction of Yunyang Fuzhu. However, although Qihuang and other places are under the jurisdiction of Yunyang Fuzhu, the ward offices belong to the Huguang Duzhu. Therefore, in some respects, these ward offices within the Yunyang Fuzhu area that do not belong to Huguang Xingdu Office are actually not under the jurisdiction of Yunyang Fuzhu.

When Liu Jun and others were hesitating, people came to the capital.

What came was not only the eunuchs sent by the emperor to Yunyang, but also several imperial edicts.

The most important thing is that the Huguang Administrative Envoy Department was divided into two parts, and the two governing departments of Hubei and Hunan were established. The second is Yunyang, a special Fuzong area across four provinces, was abolished. Yunyang Fuzong was actually changed to the Hubei Administrative Office, Nanyang Prefecture in Henan, Shangzhou in Shaanxi, Xing'an Prefecture, and Kuizhou Prefecture in Sichuan, which were also officially reorganized into Hubei.

The newly established Hubei Provincial Administration Department is very different from the Yunyang Fuzhi, but for Liu Jun and others, this is excellent news. The Huguang Xingdu Department, Xingdu Left-behind Department and Huguang Department were all merged into Hubei Provincial Department.

For Liu Jun and others, this means that they can continue to carry out the rectification and cleaning work.

"Congratulations, Admiral!" Director Wang Kun smiled and congratulated Liu Jun. This eunuch originally came with the appointment of Director Yinyang when he left Beijing, but when he left Beijing, he brought a lot of people with him. He was extremely arrogant along the way. Whenever he arrived at a prefecture and county, he always had to eat and drink, and he also received a large gift before leaving.

As a result, they had just arrived in Henan, but the court changed again. The Yunyang Fuzhuan was abolished and the Hubei Provincial Administration and the Ming Dynasty's thirteenth capital announced the Political Consultative Office, which became the fourteen provinces of the two capitals. Their name also changed, and they brought together the people who came to Yunyang to deliver the orders and rushed to Yunyang.

"Congratulations to the Marquis for being promoted to the military gate and to the two towns of Huguang!" Lu Weining, the eunuch who was in charge of the supervision of the salary, also came over to congratulate him with a smile on his face.

This time, several imperial edicts were issued in the capital to Yunyang, and all the officials in Yunyang were highly praised, such as the governor Zhu Daedian, the inspector Huang Daozhou, and the deputy envoy of the army, Yang Tinglin, all received silver rewards and ranks, but they were not as rewards as Liu Jun received.

Zhu Dadian was transferred from the Governor of Yunyang to the Governor of Hubei, but he was still a Governor, but after Liu Jun changed from the Governor of Yunyang to the Governor of Hubei, he also supervised the military affairs of Hubei and Hunan. The Prime Minister trained troops in the two provinces and also handled food and money, which was equivalent to the Governor of the two provinces of Huguang.

Zhu Dadian felt sour and full of envy and hatred. After hearing this reward and appointment, he was jealous and completely gave up on Liu Jun. He knew that he, the old fox, could not beat Liu Jun, the nine-headed bird.

"Mr. Marquis, your Majesty asks our family to pass on an oral order to the Marquis. Long live the Lord. I hope that the Marquis can send troops to Jiangbei to suppress the bandits immediately!" The eunuch who passed the order was a half-old eunuch. After the public announcement of the order, he passed on another oral order to Liu Jun.

"immediately?"

"Immediate!" (To be continued...)
