Chapter 275: Restructuring

Uncle Hirano returned to his snow customs and returned to his soldiers and civilians, and the soldiers and civilians cheered;

Although the princess who came back with him was sitting in a carriage when entering the city and did not show up, there is still much information about the princess. The description has been widely circulated among the soldiers and civilians of Xuehai Customs.

Princess, what a noble existence, and unlike the princesses of the Yu family in Jin, the Jin emperor line has declined, resulting in women from the royal line being worthless for a long time. The princess is better off, and the Yu family back then The princess can still marry the children of the three major families, but of course, she cannot marry the direct children.

As for the noble ladies starting from the princess level and the princess of the Yu family, their families often have a very difficult life. The difficulty lies in maintaining the dignity of the royal family while at the same time I have to face the hardships of life, so I am very embarrassed.

This directly led to many royal families affiliated with the Yu family, including princes, dukes, marquises, etc., to clearly mark the price of their girls of the right age and give them to the outside world as betrothal gifts. " sell".

At that time, even the wealthy gentry and merchants in Jin area, as long as they had enough money, could marry a royal daughter to a "noble family" in the capital area to improve their family status and make themselves involved. Nobility.

Anything that can be bought with money has a price, and once the price is set, the aura on her body will fade away, which directly leads to the long-lasting relationship in this place for more than a month. In the years of , the people of Jin have long lost their cold towards the so-called noble ladies.

But on this day, when faced with the fact that their uncle had brought the Princess of Chu, the faces of the soldiers and civilians at Xuehaiguan were filled with proud smiles that were as proud as the glory.

"So, even if a woman marries and obeys her husband, if she wants to live a decent life, she still has to rely on her mother's family for support."

Zuo Jiqian sat by the window of the restaurant and watched Looking at the crowd below, he let out this sigh.

Obviously he left the country for treason, but precisely because Da Chu was still Da Chu, his status was still maintained.

In this sigh, Zuo Jiqian still felt sorry for himself. He thought that at the beginning, the Zuo family was also a high-ranking family, and he knelt down in front of the Marquis of Jingnan with Uncle Zheng. .

At that time, I was equal to Uncle Zheng, and even vaguely higher than him. They were both defensive, but he was obviously more promising.

It was just fate that played a trick on people,

A horse stepped on the door,

Zuo Jiqian was directly reduced to a prisoner, and he was directly assigned from a guard general to a The prisoner was kept in a cage like an animal and put up for sale;

Even, he was not sold well because no other guards were willing to take him, fearing that he would be a thorn in the side, and There is also a Zuo family around him, and whoever takes it in will become a hill.

In the end, Uncle Zheng had a good appetite and wanted him.

After going around in circles for the past few years,

From several trips south to Qianguo, to the capital of Jin, and then to Shengle, Zuo Jiqian witnessed the current Snow Customs The rise of Uncle Zheng.

JudgementThe jealousy has long since disappeared.

When a person has only a little better life than you, you will be jealous of him, but when that person is already in heaven but you are still on earth, you can only look up.

Drinking today, Zuo Jiqian will inevitably feel a little sad due to the rainy season these past few days.

Jin Shuke squinted his eyes and said: "Old Zuo, we are warriors, there is no need for such trouble. Today's excitement is only because our uncle brought When the princess comes back, all the shops in Xuehai Customs have reduced their prices for a limited time, just to celebrate with the people."

Zuo Jiqian smiled and did not continue to be depressed.

Not only were Jin Shuke and Zuo Jiqian sitting at the table, there were four other people.

One is Gao Yi, a thousand-horse cavalry captain who was given as a gift by the Marquis of Jingnan during the Sheng Le period;

The other is Ding Hao, who followed Uncle Zheng at the earliest, and the remaining two They are Brother Ke Yandong and Xu Youcheng.

In the few months since Zheng Fan entered Chu, Xiazi and Liang Cheng redistributed and adjusted the military and civilian systems of Xue Customs. The purpose was to adapt measures to local conditions and adapt to the needs of future Xue Customs development.

Five people form a team, ten people have a tithe, a hundred people have a centurion, and further up, there are three centurions as a standard.

The five marks are a camp, and the ones above are a town.

Jin Shuke, a guerrilla general, leads the second town and has three battalions of troops under his command.

Brother Ke Yandong is a guerrilla general who leads the third town and has three battalions of soldiers and horses.

Jin Shuke and Ke Yandong are both barbarians, and Keyan’s tribe is the most powerful tribe among the tribes that Xueguan has recently received. In addition to the original barbarians under Zheng Fan’s command, Most of it was divided by these two people.

Jin Shu is one of his own, and he needs to use his identity as a barbarian to suppress Brother Ke Yandong's influence in the Keyan tribe.

Ding Hao is a general and leads the fourth town. He has two battalions under his jurisdiction and is responsible for the defense of Xueguan City. Ding Hao once served as Uncle Zheng’s master and was one of the first old people to join. He is responsible for the city defense of Xuehaiguan, which can make people feel at ease.

Zuo Jiqian served as a guerrilla general, commanding the fifth town and commanding two battalions. His command was mainly composed of early Yan people's prison soldiers and later Yan people who were absorbed.

Xu You became a general and led the sixth town. He had three battalions under his command, and his command was mainly composed of soldiers from the Jin Dynasty.

Gao Yi is a guerrilla general who leads the seventh town and has a battalion under his jurisdiction. This battalion is composed of elite soldiers and horses, and is the personal guard of Hirano Bo.

The first town is vacant and has not yet been established. The generals speculate that it is reserved for the uncle.

It's just that there are only so many soldiers in Xueguan now. If we set up a separate first town with the most elite, and then draw elites from the other six towns to fill it, then the other six towns will lose their strength. It can't be built, so the first town is left blank first.

Three battalions in the second town, three battalions in the third town, two battalions in the fourth town, two battalions in the fifth town, three battalions in the sixth town, and one battalion in the seventh town, a total of fourteen battalions, a total of Twenty thousand soldiers.

At the same time, each mark (three hundred people) is a gathering unit, not only on the battlefield, but also in life. The group composed of these three hundred sergeants is also a local-level unit, and their wives, children, and parents are also Therefore, settling with a certain mark is equivalent to several groups in later generations, or several large and small teams in earlier times.

When the war started, Prince Hirano ordered the troops to be gathered. Next, the commander was responsible for integrating the 300 soldiers in his bid, putting on armor and preparing horses to assemble.

After the war, except for the seventh town led by Gao Yi, which served as Uncle Zheng's personal guard camp, and the fourth town led by Ding Hao, which had to bear the important task of city defense, the soldiers and horses of the other towns , except during collective training, at other times, they can return to their respective standards for production activities.

In this way, the burden on the Earl's Mansion can be greatly reduced, and at the same time, the labor force can be freed for production.

Of course, this also has a side effect. Once this kind of military system remains peaceful for a long time, it will easily deteriorate. See the Ming Dynasty military households in another time and space and the Eight Banners in the Qing Dynasty, but they are not used yet. Worry about this problem, because there are barbarians in the north and Chu people in the south. In the next few decades, there will be no worries about fighting. As long as we keep fighting, we will not fall down.

Because of Zheng Fan's super authority in the military and the influence of his personal cult, coupled with the blind man's methods and Liang Cheng's suppression, the military restructuring was carried out smoothly.

Ping Ye Bo Mansion will provide a certain amount of money and grain subsidies every month for households registered in the standard, and there will also be benefits during holidays. This is a treatment that ordinary people outside the standard do not have. This kind of differential treatment, It will make the people attach great importance to the bid;

The bid is equivalent to the household registration. The unequal treatment makes the outsiders extremely jealous and eager to join, just like the household registration in the big cities in later generations.

After the establishment of this system, many bachelors in the military were immediately matched with each other, and then quickly got married, which was quite similar to getting a green card by relying on their marriage relationship.

As for the rest of the families who do not have women of the right age, or who are unwilling to enter the bidding in this way, they can join the civilian husband camp and the auxiliary military camp during the next recruitment, and rely on military merit to qualify for the bidding.

As for the income of the standard households, part of it is the money and grain distributed by the Earl's Palace every month, and the other part is their own labor production. For example, the standard households under Jin Shuke and Ke Yandong, when the barbarians are not fighting It is possible to graze, and you can graze in the snow fields near the Snow Customs;

But the biggest income still comes from the dividends brought by the war. If you want the whole family to live a good life, then You have to rely on the men at home to fight desperately on the battlefield.

In short,

The blind man is very satisfied with his military reform.

In his opinion,

He has already Customs became a war machine that took shape.

Now, it is very eager for war and plunder. It is just a cub waiting to be fed.

Every devil has oneMy own preferences,

Liang Cheng likes to lead troops, Si Niang likes to train princesses and princesses and strange women with unique styles like Liu Ruqing, San'er likes craftsmanship, and A Ming likes to taste all kinds of food in the ice cellar. Fresh blood,

Fan Li liked to take a walk after dinner with the sword on his shoulder.

Even Magic Pills

are taken care of by children.

As for the blind man,

what he likes is this kind of change and transformation. It can be said that in his bones, he has this gene that does not like stability, and he is also recognized by the devil kings. , the one who is most determined to rebel.

We are all adults,

We all understand that sometimes in life we ​​need to bow our heads, such as when it comes to kneeling and licking the Lord;

But we all also understand On the premise that the general direction is consistent, find and harvest your own happiness and quality of life, and do not lose it.

"Okay, don't drink too much." Ding Hao said, "It's not good to go see your uncle later smelling of alcohol."

After everyone heard this, They also put down their wine glasses silently.

Jin Shuke looked at the time and said, "It's almost time, let's go into the mansion."

Everyone stood up,

and then it became almost a habit. Everyone began to check their own armor.

Uncle Zheng likes to pay attention to details and the beauty of order. Everyone knows this.

After all,

As long as you are not a fool or a person who has absolutely no desires and desires,

you will not really be indifferent to your preference for going to the top.

Ding Hao looked around,

"Is everything sorted?"

Everyone nodded.

"Okay, when you report your new official position and errands later, pay attention to the rhythm, don't rush, the final chorus, the beat should be at one point, including the last moment when you draw a knife and insert it into the ground to make an oath. The movements must be neat."

Jin Shuke was a little worried and said:

"Why don't we go down in a hurry and practice it twice here?"

No one objects,

Everyone thinks it is necessary.

Ding Hao is the oldest member of the family. Zuo Jiqian has no choice but to rely on Zheng Fan because the Zuo family is gone. He is an absolute master in metal arts. Brother Ke Yandong had his thorns removed in advance because of the Marquis of Jingnan. Therefore, he is also very docile. Although Gao Yi was born in the Jingnan Army, he also became prosperous after Zheng Fan. Xu Youcheng was originally from the Jin Dynasty.

So, everyone is naturally very attentive in how to make "Uncle Zheng" happy and satisfied.

So,

When the waiter came up to ask the adults if they wanted more wine, he saw this next scene:

A group of generals , facing an empty chair, they knelt down one by one, saluted and announced their home, then solemnly drew the knife and stabbed it into the floor!

......

"Sister, it's difficult."

Xiong Liqing looked at her faceHe looked at the thick account book in front of him, with a sad look on his face, and said to Siniang: "Sister, why don't you just treat me like a vase?"

Yue sitting next to her Xin, covered her mouth and smiled.

Xiong Liqing knew that she was a blind daughter-in-law, so she said to her, "Sister Yuexin, don't you think this kind of thing is hard and trivial?"

Yuexin shook her head and said: " If you can help the men share some of their burdens, the men will feel more relaxed. Besides, we are family members, so if we do it ourselves, it will be much easier."

The princess pouted. , looking at the abacus in front of him, full of sadness.

Yue Xin said: "The city is very lively today."

To celebrate the return of Uncle Hirano and the princess, all shops in the city started discounts for a limited time.

This is all Siniang’s arrangement.

The princess said to Si Niang: "Sister, thank you, you are so kind to me."

Six Niang shook her head and said: "You can still make money with a discount, The weather is about to get hotter, the caravans from outside are coming soon, the cattle and sheep on the snowy fields are getting fatter, the workshops are starting to work, and a new batch of goods is coming soon, so naturally we have to take advantage of this Opportunity to go to inventory."

"..."Princess.

"From now on, we can do this activity on this day every year." Siniang said.

Xiong Liqing bit her lip and said, "We can't let him go out and snatch a princess back next year, right?"

"It's an anniversary, the first and second anniversary of snatching the princess back, right?" , the third anniversary, as long as the discount promotion comes out, it’s hard to find a reason?”

Sixiang put down her pen and said to Yuexin: “Teach her some more.”

"Yes, Sister Feng."

Sixiang looked at Xiong Liqing again and said: "You have to learn to take care of some things. Besides, you are very smart. In the past few years, you can rely on one sentence How many more years will it take for the palace to let his blood expand?

What if the Chu Kingdom disappears in the future?

Man, this is the virtue of liking the new and hating the old. Very."

"Yes, sister knows."

"Well, you continue to correct this, I'm going to rest."

Yuexin said: "Sister Feng seems to be very sleepy when she comes back this time."

"Sleeping is always the best way to heal."

Take care of Si Niang After leaving, the princess looked at Yuexin and said:

"Sister Yuexin, can you tell me how you and Mr. Bei met?"

Yuexin lowered her head while writing down the accounts. While saying:

"Same as you."

"Same as me?"

"Well, they were snatched back."

Strictly speaking, Yuexin was indeed "robbed" backof.

The princess tapped her chin with her finger and said:

"Does their family have a tradition of robbing people?"

Yue Xin nodded,

said:

“If you don’t have enough rice in your bowl, you have to grab it.”

“This makes sense. "

Yue Xin smiled and said: "My husband said it."

"Huh?"

"This is what my husband said."

......

At this time,

Uncle Zheng was listening to music in Liu Ruqing's courtyard Son.

Quer is a local tune from Chu region. The babbling babbling has a strong Chu accent and long sound. In fact, Uncle Zheng couldn't understand it.

But it doesn’t matter,

As long as the singer is beautiful.

In addition, the long sounds, in Uncle Zheng’s ears, were almost transformed into "Uncle~~"

After singing the song,

Liu Ruqing was a little embarrassed and said: "Uncle, please forgive me, I can't sing well."

Uncle Zheng pointed downwards,

said:

p>

"Look, you sang very well."

Liu Ruqing immediately blushed, turned her face away, and shouted:

"Uncle~~~"< /p>

Zheng Fan didn’t know if this woman was used to this title, or if she felt that she liked this title so much that she continued to use it after entering the mansion.

But it is undeniable that every time she shouts this tone, Uncle Zheng feels like ice cubes are traveling all over his body in summer, numbing and tingling.

So, sometimes Uncle Zheng couldn't help but tease her on purpose, just to see her cry out shyly.

However, for the time being, it is limited to this.

Siniang’s injury has not healed yet, and it will still take some time. But since Siniang said she wanted a child, he naturally had to wait. He felt that he was not a stallion, and he did not think about it. There are three thousand beauties in the harem, but at home, it is quite interesting to just try it out and play around with it.

Counting the days, Xiao Liuzi’s butcher’s daughter-in-law should be giving birth, right?

Xiao Yibo came over at this time, stood at the door of the small courtyard and announced:

"Uncle, the generals have arrived."

Zheng Uncle Zheng nodded and said:

"I understand."

Getting up and bidding farewell to Liu Ruqing, Uncle Zheng walked to the middle house, where guests and business meetings were held.

During the period when I entered Chu, the military system of Xueguan Customs was changed. Generally speaking, if someone else is the master, if the people below dare to do this when I am not around, it will be inevitable. He is the biggest disobedient criminal, but there is no such conflict between Uncle Zheng and the Demon King.

The most comfortable thing in this world is that you have a group of capable subordinates, and it is even more comfortable.You don't have to worry about them rebelling.

Calling them to come,

It was just a routine appearance of his own. The mascot made his presence felt, and at the same time, he gave instructions to prepare for the military parade three days later.

Liang Cheng has been waiting for a long time. As the deputy commander, he must be present at this time. Fan Li stood behind Liang Cheng, waiting together.

"Your Majesty, doesn't he wear armor?" Liang Cheng asked.

"It's too troublesome. I won't wear it anymore. Just be casual at home. I don't plan to go out anyway."

However,

Uncle Zheng As soon as I walked into the hall of the central residence, Jin Shu Ke and other generals had not had time to salute Zheng Fan. The previous rehearsal had not been used yet.

A messenger soldier ran in from the door of the Earl's Mansion,< /p>

Shouted:

"The imperial envoy has arrived!"

Although everyone had not had time to use their rehearsals, Jin Shuke and others all had a smile on their faces. Smile, because everyone understands that this decree must be a reward.

Entering Chu to snatch back the princess, although there was no siege of the city, was definitely a great achievement and inspiring. Your Majesty cannot fail to reward you.

Uncle Zheng was not so happy and frowned. He vaguely had a very bad feeling because the imperial envoy who declared the decree did not send someone to say hello in advance, but waited for them to arrive at the boundary of Xuehaiguan. Only here did we know that this meant that the edict-proclaiming team must have been galloping in without any delay.

If it is just a simple reward, why should we be so anxious?

Liang Cheng saw Zheng Fan frowning and said, "It must be a good thing that your Majesty is relieved."

Uncle Zheng sighed,

:

"You said that, and I became even more panicked."

Liang Cheng didn't know what to say for a moment.

Uncle Zheng said: "Ah Cheng, do you think we can follow the example of Marquis Jingnan, close the door of our house, and let the imperial envoy who declared the decree wrap a layer of patina on the stone lion at the entrance of our Earl's Mansion? "

"I'm going."

Fan Li turned around and walked out with his ax in hand.

Uncle Zheng held his forehead and said:

"Pull that idiot back."

Then,

Uncle Zheng waved his hand again,

said:

“Go down and greet the imperial envoy.”

Xiao Yibo on the other side asked: "Uncle, do you want to go out of the city to greet me? You have to arrange for soldiers and civilians to wait outside the city now."

Xiao Yibo remembered that the last time the imperial envoy came to ennoble his master "Uncle Hirano", his master was Those who went out of the city to receive the decree in person were given extremely grand treatment by the eunuch who announced the decree.

Uncle Zheng glanced at Xiao Yibo angrily.

This glance made Xiao Yibo panic for a moment, because it meant that he had guessed his master's intentions wrongly. It means that he, the great butler, failed to keep up with his master.

Uncle Zheng sighed,

and said:

“Don’t start troops at every turn.Raising the crowd and disturbing the people, besides, why bother?

Just take the order,

Uncle Ben,

just wait at home. ”
