Chapter 319 Rectify Shanxi
Chapter 319: Reorganization of Shanxi
It would be fine if Ma Cheng only looked through for a while. These five slags of war were pure nonsense, which would only arouse the emperor's disgust and act more ruthlessly. Among them, a few of them had cramps and bombardment.
The mining tax said that Zhang Shikui, a student from Liangxiang, was fighting for a coal mine to hurt his grave, and entrusting the death of mines. Zhao Gao can be a horse, and Zhongxian coal can be a mine. This is the mining tax, and Zhao Gao
Is it just a matter of referring to a deer as a horse? It's simply nonsense.
It is impossible to deal with the harm of deer as a horse and the mining tax. This is a mess. Of course, these birds may not be really stupid. Anyone with discerning eyes can tell that this is selling fame directly.
The mining tax was a national policy that the emperor had already decided and could not be changed. These birds dared to impeach the mining tax. What was it if they were not selling their names directly for fame? It's a pity that these birds misjudged the young emperor and died.
It's settled.
The fool who couldn't figure out the situation, Ma Cheng sighed deeply and watched the fun in Yuci. Seeing the Wang family in Datong and the generals serving in the army were dismissed by the Governor of Xuanda Wang Guozhen and attacked on the charge of escaping at the last minute.
Asked about the execution, even the general of Datong, Wang Wei, was dismissed from his post. He could not escape the nine sides of the head, and no one in the family could escape. Wang Wei was very guilty of being so serious that he escaped at the last battle that the North Gate of Datong was trapped. Fortunately, he was lucky.
Kaiyuan General Macheng, Ningqian Army Chief Yuan Chonghuan fought to the death, and the three armies used their lives to drive the captive cavalry out of the northern gate.
This is what the document of the meritorious service is written, how much the crime is, the family confiscation and the genocide are exterminated.
A few families are happy and sad. This is the privilege of the winners in a great victory. Naturally, they will kill the enemy. There is no slightest love to tell. It is already considered that Wang Wei was not guilty of treason for treason.
Wang Guozhen was very kind, at least he left his reputation for the Wang family, so he would not even be dug up by someone. He really wanted to confirm the charge of Tonglu Xiancheng. Even the ancestors of the Wang family had to pull out the body and whip the body. It can be seen that the Governor General
Still very kind.
The imperial party and the eunuch party joined forces and took advantage of the great victory to kill them, and the Shanxi merchants had almost no power to fight back.
Wang Guozhen was not promoted but his power was overwhelming. The subtlety lies in the sentence that also manages border forts. The four words "partner forts" are very knowledgeable. It really uprooted the power of Shanxi merchants in the Ming army. You should know that Shanxi's three
There are a large number of military forts on the front line of Fu Great Wall. Most of the generals are children of wealthy families, and most of them are from relatives. This sentence of the official front gave Wang Guozhen great power, and he randomly punished a deserter and then chopped down.
Killed.
A very convenient smuggling channel was done by Shanxi merchants in the border fort. There is no mercy to say. This smuggling channel must be blocked. These border forts on the front line of the Great Wall are empty.
After coming out, it was naturally divided up by all parties like wolves and tigers. The Zhou family in Datong and Chang family in Yuci also got a big advantage. The two families had more than 100 border fort positions above the general flag.
The names of the two families reported to the Governor's Office, and the approval was immediately down, and a new smuggling channel was rapidly forming.
Of course, it is no longer called smuggling, it is called Xingshang, and the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia all formed an alliance.
Since then, the caravans of Zhou and Chang's two families are unobstructed inside and outside the Great Wall, firmly controlling more than a dozen border forts of all sizes and sizes, replacing the Jiang and Wang families into the new great Shanxi merchant family. The remaining large number of military positions were transferred to the promotion.
Official, in the hands of the eunuch Gao Feng, the bastard in Datong, this bastard actually sold official positions in Datong. One general flag sold only fifty taels, one hundred households sold one hundred taels, and one thousand households sold only five hundred taels of silver, buying now and selling now children
The old man is not deceived.
Ma Cheng didn't know whether to cry or laugh. This was OK. This was too much. This was a sharing banquet. The whole of Shanxi was crazy. Every day, people came to Changfu to send gifts to Yuci.
Several shopkeepers at home were dizzy when they received the cash receipt. Ma Cheng is naturally not a gentleman. Gao Feng dared to sell official positions and was not vague. He was too late to start, but he couldn't even drink the soup. He sold hundreds of soldiers in one breath.
The most expensive one was Yanghe, who sold five thousand taels of silver in the warehouse. These military positions can be sold, garrison, military
The fort has long been corrupt, and its only function is to open the door to convenience for smuggling.
When they really fight, these military soldiers and military households were blocked in the camp gate and could not even assemble. The wealthy families in Shanxi were willing to pay for these military positions, one was to facilitate businessmen, and the other was to pull out a tiger's skin to make a big flag
, and was bullied. Later, only the deputy general, the commander of the guards, commanders and commanders of the Tongzhi were left. Gao Feng simply spoke out and bid publicly in the eunuch's office in Datong Town. Those with the higher prices were absolutely fair.
Ma Cheng, even Wang Guozhen and Zhou Yongchun pretended not to know, searched the house, sold official positions, and all the money belonged to the emperor. Whoever dared to touch would be unable to get along with the emperor, and they would just make lanterns in the toilet and seek death. The emperor's reward was one thing
, You can accept it with peace of mind, it would be stupid to steal money from the emperor. Datong is stationed with 30,000 troops, 5,000 cavalry, Yuci and 10,000 Kaiyuan infantry and cavalry. The fate that cannot be matched with the emperor is the army encirclement and suppression, and Ashes fly
Annihilation.
Military responsibilities in garrisons and border forts can be sold, but the town army needs to be reorganized. Shanxi is not short of high-quality soldiers.
More than 100,000 Shanxi people were captured and plundered to the front line of the Great Wall. Numerous old, weak, women and children died. Those who survived were strong men. More than 100,000 families were destroyed and the Shanxi people became refugees. The Xuanda Governor's Office launched a large number of soldiers. Wang Guozhen originally wanted to recruit
The soldiers supplemented the Datong Town Army, but were persuaded by Macheng's letters. The old Shangshu Zhou of the Ministry of War also insisted on establishing a new army, and the new soldiers should not be allowed to enter the large dyeing vat of the Town Army, which would be dyed black in a few days.
Wang Guozhen was soon convinced to establish another Shanxi new army, recruited 30,000 new troops from refugees, and selected 5,000 elite old soldiers from the town army to form a new army of 35,000 people.
The camp is still located in Yanghe, because Yanghe is the territory of Governor Wang, and the other is that Yanghe has a ready-made camp that can accommodate the new army. Although there are not many 35,000 infantry and cavalry, it is completely different from the old army.
This is a new army composed purely of the common people, the children of ordinary people, and the old soldiers in Shanxi. It is clean and without any infiltration of powerful people in the area, and is directly under the Governor Xuanda.
The vertical command system of the Ming Dynasty's new army system is hidden and is replacing the chaotic old army system. 20,000 new troops are stationed in the capital, 10,000 Kaiyuan cavalry are stationed in Jizhen, 30,000 Shaanxi new troops, 35,000
The new Shanxi army is being formed, and these are all mobile forces formed for field combat, which are completely different from the old army in various places. First of all, the idea of building an army is very clear, and this is purely a field army.
In wartime, if you pull your luggage and your arms can be opened, it is directly under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Command in the Central Beijing.
The 100,000 new troops were initially established. In time, the Ming Dynasty would no longer have any embarrassment of no troops. The four provinces should have more than enough to support the 100,000 new troops. There is also the great efforts of the officials of the Emperor Party of Henan, Shandong and Northern Zhili.
Assistance, in two years, Macheng is sure to last for the past two years. When the new army forms its combat effectiveness, the Ming Dynasty can fight the Jianlu in the north. That battle will surely be earth-shaking and determine the strategic decisive battle of the Ming and Jin dynasties in the future.
