In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang established guard posts in various places and issued the "Duoji Order" at the same time. Duoji became the main recruitment method for the guards.

According to the provisions of the "Duoji Order", three civilian households constitute a unit, one of which is called the main household and the military Ding, that is, the main army, and the rest are post households.

If a regular soldier dies, he will be replaced from among the subsidized households.

The so-called "goujun" is the system of replenishing the military in the Ming Dynasty.

In the early and mid-Ming Dynasty, a garrison military system was implemented. Military households were fixed to undertake military service. After the death of a father, his son would serve as soldiers for generations and garrison with the army.

If the whole family of a military household dies or flees, the government will send personnel to the place of origin to compensate relatives or to replace the family members, which is called "Goujun".

Generally speaking, the seduction of troops is the responsibility of the Arsenal Department of the Ministry of War. If there is a seduction, the Wei Station will issue a report to verify the hometown and residence, the inner government will approve it, issue military orders, and pay the capital to the Wei Station for execution.

However, with the collapse of the guard system, the scope of the rebel army continued to expand.

In many cases, when it is difficult to deal with the landless refugees, they will be organized into military households and replenished in the guard posts in various places.

Firstly, it solves the problem of refugees, and secondly, it replenishes the manpower for the health centers that are short of people.

Guan Qilin is a smart man. He chose to cooperate and agreed to hook up with the army.

According to regulations, the number of soldiers in Qianhu Station in Mian County must be 1,120 regular soldiers.

The regular army is a soldier who is in the army. Yu Ding or Jun Yu are the children of the regular army. They are not part of the establishment, but they also need to serve in the garrison with the regular army, provide logistical support for the regular army, and at the same time serve as the regular army. substitute.

If a regular soldier dies in battle or in an accident, they can take his place.

A house with a thousand households generally has more than four to five thousand people.

Because the regular soldiers are naturally not alone, they are all accompanied by their families.

The number of troops fleeing from thousands of households in Mian County was serious, and military fields were continuously occupied and declined day by day.

Guan Qilin also explained the general situation clearly to Chen Wang.

Today, there are only more than 2,000 people left among the 1,000 households in Mian County, and more than 500 soldiers have been scrapped here and there.

There are now more than 200 soldiers guarding the city, half of whom are green men who have been hired with money, and there are even Yu Ding and the old man who have been supplemented.

More than two hundred people not only have to guard Mian County, but also the thousands of households in Mian County.

In the Ming Dynasty, the garrison was generally not located in the county town, but was located in another place.

Below one thousand-household residence there are ten hundred-household residences. According to the standard, each hundred households has 112 regular soldiers.

Each hundred households commanded two general banners, each with about fifty-five regular soldiers.

There are five small flags under each general flag, and each small flag has a military camp,

The small banner is the most basic unit of the military camp. Many of the current small banner camps in the mainland have now evolved into villages.

There are more than 3,000 refugees in total. It is naturally unrealistic to put all of them under the establishment of Mian County Thousand Household Office at once.

But it doesn’t matter if there is no establishment, just settle down first. There are policies from above, and countermeasures from below. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Who knows if one underreported and one overreported?

The Jin Yiwei now has no prestige as it did during the Tianqi years. Not only were their predatory claws removed, but even the fangs in their mouths were removed.

How to deal with it was Guan Qilin's business. Chen Wang asked someone to pay Guan Qilin 5,000 taels of silver.

Trivial matters such as sorting out joints and getting through tricks are naturally handled by Guan Qilin.

Of course, Chen Wang did not hand over the five thousand taels of silver directly to Guan Qilin. Instead, he asked Zhao Huailiang to lead a group of soldiers to send it, and stayed directly in the Qianhu Office in Mian County to supervise the money. How it is used.

Zhao Huailiang received the order, obtained the seal, and led Guan Qilin to the warehouse from the location of the Chinese military tent.

Five thousand taels of silver were packed in a large box. When loading it into the car, the lid of the box was opened to count.

To be honest, Guan Qilin has never seen so much silver in his life.

The white silver was almost blinded by the sunlight, and Guan Qilin almost fell to the ground if the two guards beside him were not still conscious.

Qian Hu is a military attache of the fifth rank, but what about the military attache of the fifth rank? The guard station in the mainland has collapsed, and there is no oil and water anywhere. Guan Qilin has no knowledge.

To be honest, the Guan family has accumulated a lot of wealth. After all, it is a hereditary family, but it cannot withstand the wars and chaos in the years.

The Qianhu Station in Mian County led by Guan Qilin is relatively good. After all, it is considered a prosperous place. If you cultivate the military fields well, you can still make some money, and you can also earn some money from some shops in the city.

But...that's five thousand taels of silver!

Moreover, when Guan Qilin was watching those loading silver into trucks, he also saw many boxes piled up in the warehouse.

Some of those boxes were tightly closed, and some were open. Guan Qilin also saw yellow things in them, but unfortunately the light was really dim and some of them couldn't be seen clearly.

Guan Qilin's heart beat unsatisfactorily, and his eyes straightened completely.

"The verification point is five thousand taels of silver, no more, no less. The seal has been inspected, and Mr. Qian will sign and seal it, and you can take it away."

The voice of the official responsible for counting money interrupted Guan Qilin's thoughts.

Guan Qilin swallowed and raised his head just in time to see Zhao Huailiang with a half-smile on his face.

"How did Guan Qianhu get here?"

"Um?"

Guan Qilin did not calm down for a while. He was stunned at first and didn't know why Zhao Huailiang asked such a question, but he quickly replied that he was coming on horseback.

When he followed Zhao Huailiang out of the camp, Guan Qilin realized why Zhao Huailiang asked.

The battalion of soldiers assigned by Chen Wang to escort Bai Yin had already been waiting outside the warehouse for a long time.

More than a hundred soldiers in the camp were all wearing robes and belts, carrying armor and helmets, bows and swords, and riding horses and holding whips.

The matter was so important that Chen Wang naturally sent his closest Liao cavalry as a guard.

It turns out that after experiencing several battles, these Liao cavalry under Zhang Waijia are now convinced of Chen Wang.

There is really not much comparison between Zhang Waijia, the old master, and Chen Wang.

Chen Wang led them all the way to get real military achievements. All the recorded achievements were recorded, and not even a cent of the bounty and military pay was deducted.

At the foot of Chingcheng City, Chen Wang jumped on his horse and charged forward, defeating the invading army.

At the foot of Lueyang City, Chen Wang killed Li Guo in a formation among thousands of troops. He broke through three formations in a row and had already established his prestige in the army.

Guan Qilin was even more frightened when he saw the heavily armed and murderous Liao Qi.

At first, when he saw the serious and silent soldiers in the camp, he was already a little afraid.

The oppression brought by these Liao cavalry was several times greater than that of the camp soldiers.

Living in the hinterland of Hanzhong and having never been to the border areas, he had never seen soldiers with such murderous intent.

The only soldiers Guan Qilin had ever seen were the Dubiao camp brought by Hong Chengchou when he entered Hanzhong to put down the rebellion in the seventh year of Chongzhen.

At that time, we were only watching from a distance, but now more than a hundred Liao riders were right in front of us. The pressure between the two was naturally very different.

However, Guan Qilin quickly suppressed the fear in his heart because he wanted to understand one thing.

The stronger the army under Chen Wang's command, the safer Mian County will be.

As long as Mian County is safe and keeps the official hat on his head, nothing else matters.

Guan Qilin was riding on the war horse, his eyes were darkened, his teeth were clenched, and he was thinking.

Thinking about why Chen Wang wanted to fill so many people into his Thousand Households, Guan Qilin didn't know.

But he instinctively felt that he had done something dangerous again.

Chen Wang is just a guerrilla. It would be beneficial for him to pursue and suppress the bandits and kill them.

It is the responsibility of the local government to resettle the people and take care of the refugees, and it has nothing to do with Chen Wang.

It is true that many battalions will take the initiative to distribute military rations to help the people when they see the disaster, but no battalion will take the initiative to hand over real money and silver to resettle the refugees.

The real money and silver were paid for by oneself, but the military rations distributed belonged to the imperial court.

Is it possible that this Chen Wang, this guerrilla general, is really just a loyal minister who cares about the country and the people?

Guan Qilin's eyes kept wandering on the Liao cavalry on both sides, reviewing Chen Wang's tone and demeanor when he spoke in the Chinese military tent.

He has been working as a Qianhu in Mian County for more than 20 years, and he has met all kinds of people.

But he couldn't see through Chen Wang at all, and he couldn't guess what Chen Wang was thinking, let alone what Chen Wang was going to do.

White snow was flying and falling from the sky.

Guan Qilin raised his head and looked at the heavy snow falling in front of him.

He has been doing nothing all his life. He took over the official position of Qianhu from his father. For more than 20 years, he just wandered around this three-thirds of an acre of land, unable to leave Mian County.

The world is difficult, increasingly turbulent, and the road ahead is unclear, but all he can do is take one step and take a look...

Above the camp gate, Chen Wang was wearing a hat, and his eyes were focused on the team marching to Mian County not far away.

Chen Gong and Hu Zhili stood on the left and right sides of Chen Wang with their swords and robes on their hands. The rest of the people were separated on the four sides of the camp gate, a certain distance away from the three of them.

"Instruct all ministries to have enough food and meat. Practice intensively for four days and then take one day off."

Chen Wang held down the Yan Ling Dao at his waist and turned his gaze to the southwest.

He defeated Lueyang and Jinniu in two battles and killed Li Guo, which indeed eliminated a lot of Hong Chengchou's wariness, but it was not enough.

Now that they have entered Hanzhong, there is no need for Li Yangchun and Lin Shengquan to stay.

Now Li Yangchun and Lin Shengquan are trapped in Ningqiang, and it is difficult to fly even with wings.

With the heads of Li Yangchun and Lin Shengquan, the mission can be fulfilled to some extent.

As for whether Li Yangchun and Lin Shengquan can still stay in Hanzhong Mansion after annihilating them, Chen Wang is not worried at all.

His memory is terrible, and he clearly remembers the records about Hanzhong in "The Rogue Bandits".

In December of the eighth year of Chongzhen, it is December of this year.

The riot team in Hanzhong Mansion merged with the rogue bandits who were already raging in Shaanxi. The two joined forces and defeated the officers and soldiers in Hanzhong Mansion.

From Sanjiangkou in Feng County, passing through Heiguba, they gathered in the east of Baocheng County.

Then the troops were divided into three groups: one group attacked Yang and Yangping Pass. Attack Hanzhong, Chenggu and Yangxian all the way. Attack Jiezhou all the way.

The next year will be the most chaotic and turbulent year for Hanzhong Mansion.

"Twenty days later, the troops will leave Dingjun and go to Ningqiangping to suppress the rebellion!"
