Fuzhou, Fujian.

"Commander, take a rest, brothers are all exhausted." A group of lieutenant colonels persuaded one after another, and the one surrounded by them was the colonel commander of the Yulin Army stationed in Fujian, who led 7,000 people to suppress

Locally, the rebellion was suppressed, but the repeated small rebellions made them a little exhausted.

"But..." The colonel commander was also helpless. He was also one of the first two hundred Yulins, and he resolutely carried out the emperor's orders. The emperor sent them to the local area to carry out military reform and suppress the rebellion.

Naturally, there is no turning back, but reality does not allow it.

"Commander, if this is not the case, we can divide our troops into several groups and sit back and let them go. These rebellious enemies are just a small group of enemies. With the elite of the Yulin Army, they can be destroyed easily. This way, we can avoid the pain of running around and still be able to serve Your Majesty.

Life." Suddenly, a person suggested.

That makes sense!

When the generals heard this, they immediately felt that it made sense and looked at the person who made the suggestion. They saw him standing in the crowd at the staff headquarters with the rank of captain. Seeing this, everyone suddenly realized that no wonder he had such a quick brain. It turned out that he was a captain.

He was the Jinshi staff officer sent down from the beginning.

"Li Yan is worthy of being a Jinshi. He has a strategy in mind!"

"It's just that this doesn't quite comply with His Majesty's regulations. Moreover, we have a small number of people. We only have 7,000 people. It's not easy to supply. We can still rely on sea transportation in Fuzhou. If we go to the lower counties, it will be difficult to replenish gunpowder."

, the teacher is still a little worried.

Of course, what they talked about later were just minor issues. Fujian is very mountainous, but they also brought a large number of horses. They could rely on the local government for food, and the transportation of gunpowder was small, and horses were enough. What really made him hesitate was

The emperor's decree is that as a soldier, it is your bounden duty to obey orders. His Majesty's decree has not been changed. It is a taboo for them to change their actions without authorization.

In the past, running around or even dividing troops to attack together could be said to be tactics, but stationing in place and guarding in separate areas was an out-and-out change. The division commander was just a division commander, not a Fujian general. He had the power to control the military of a province and set strategies. Therefore,

Lots of worries.

this…….

Li Yan couldn't solve the division commander's worries, so he could only remain silent. He didn't speak, and the others didn't pay much attention. For a while, the entire combat meeting fell silent, and no one knew what to say.

"Report, Commander."

Suddenly, a messenger ran in, "An official document from the General Staff has arrived, and along with it are supplies from the sea and two thousand soldiers and horses."

The messenger finished the matter succinctly, and then handed the official document to the first division commander. The division commander took it and saw it, and he was immediately overjoyed.

"Everyone, the general has returned and is currently stationed in Huguang."

This time, the orders issued by the Governor's Office were conveyed here. Along with these orders, there were also 10,000 troops brought to the northeast by Li Yuyu. Of course, divided equally, that is 2,000 people from each province, here in Fujian

Too.

Immediately, the division commander did not hesitate and directly informed the other officers of the contents of the official document. He was not responsible for the content. He just ordered the division commanders in various places to immediately carry out military reform of the garrison, divide the troops into garrison, and cultivate city defense forces. As for sporadic rebellions in various places, the local

Solve it on your own. If you can't solve it, send troops to exterminate it.

In the official document, the matter of land reform was also mentioned, saying that the cabinet had issued an order to order officials from various regions to carry out land reform work, and hoped that the garrison forces in various regions would cooperate, starting from the provincial government, to ensure the smooth progress of land reform.

"marvelous!"

When the division commander finished everything, the officers in the entire hall cheered. They had worked really hard during this period, and now they can be stationed separately. They are naturally happy, and each is responsible for carrying out military reforms. It is also to train manpower. There is no need

You have worked so hard.

"How about it, Li Yan, are you interested in leading a group of troops alone to garrison the place?" the division commander asked with interest. Li Yan's performance just now gave him a deep impression. Now he has the opportunity to train him, but how?

He said that they are all capable officers under him. Even if they go out in the future, they will come from him and have a sense of incense.

Moreover, the emperor even wanted them to temporarily serve as the local city defense force and be responsible for the local military. They should not only guard the place, but also reform the local military system according to the plans formulated by the general staff officers who followed them. This involved

human relations and rights, and the interests behind them are astonishing.

This is laying a foundation for yourself. No one will let it go.

"Thank you, sir, Li Yan is willing." Li Yan said happily. Being able to stand alone is what anyone who aspires to have an official career expects. Only in this way can he show his talents and hone himself. What's more, this is building connections. For the entire

He has also heard about the development direction of the military system.

In the future, when the city defense force is completely established, the field army will not recruit sergeants directly from the civilian population. Instead, they will be selected from the city defense forces in each province every year, while the city defense force will be selected from the local militia. Such a three-level military system will be

The mainstream of the future.

Therefore, the benefits of being able to establish a network of contacts in the city defense army are endless. After hearing this order, everyone else looked at Li Yan with envy. Although there were many officers here, he could really stand alone.

, there are really not many. After all, the officer corps from the General Staff is not a vegetarian, they still want a few positions.

These are all up for grabs, and Li Yan is just lucky to have one.

As the Governor's Office and the Cabinet issued official documents one after another, the entire Ming Dynasty was shaken for a moment.

The land reform in Shanxi and Shandong continued, but the leaders became the local county magistrates and prefects, while Cui Mingji only left a left-wing envoy and went to Henan with his people.

Henan is among the best in the world, and has a lot of land owned by King Fu. King Fu has been arrested by the emperor for treason and has been imprisoned in the capital for life. Naturally, he cannot return to the palace in Kaifeng. These lands are the best to allocate. He chose this place as a good start.

, which is understandable.

On his way to Kaifeng, members of the original land reform team were continuously sent to various provinces, or served as Zuo Bu envoys, and later as Fu Cheng, fully responsible for Dandi land reform and household registration changes. Local officials must cooperate and assist.

Their real confidence lies in the field armies stationed in various places. Combining civil and military forces, as long as officials want to do something, there is nothing they can't do.

In this way, although the world is turbulent, it is like rising dust. After being foggy, it will gradually become clear.

Half a month later, officials were in place, the army was in place, and an imperial decree was issued, and the nationwide land reform and military reform officially began.

Quanzhou City.

Li Yan was once again in charge. After days of military reform work, he was a little tired, but he was in good spirits. Under his review, the situation of the entire local health center gradually became clear. The next step was to eliminate the old and weak, and select

Pick up new recruits and train them.

Officers serving from various places have been put in place. In the entire field army, more than 10,000 people have been sent to the local areas, including Zhang Ya and Xie Gao from the Two Hundred Yulin.

Of course, their military ranks also took a step closer, becoming one of the few major generals. One became the general of Zhejiang, and the other just arrived in Fujian and became the general of Fujian.

"Li Mou, have you made the plan?" Li Yan turned around and asked.

The two brothers were together again, and it just so happened that Li Mou still worked with him and acted as his deputy. As the saying goes, brothers work together and can make a difference. Li Mou's contribution to being able to clarify the local situation so quickly is indispensable.

"It's all done, the troops have been assembled, and we can set off now." Li Mou nodded. His first target was the Quanzhou Left Guard. As the largest manned guard station in the area, it is still very useful to operate on it.

meaningful.

"Okay, let's set off immediately." Li Yan nodded, turned around and put on a red cloak. Now that the weather is getting colder, it's still a bit cold to go out wearing armor.

"Report!"

But suddenly a long and urgent shout made Li Yan stop. The two were stunned. They saw a messenger hurriedly ran in. After giving a military salute, he loudly reported, "Report to the head of the regiment, Quanzhou Zuowei Xiaoju."

The rebels in the southern suburbs and some rogue pirates have gathered together to rebel, and have gathered tens of thousands of troops and are currently heading towards Quanzhou City."

"Oh, I haven't even gone to find them yet, and these people actually struck preemptively." Hearing about the rebellion, Li Yan was not surprised at all, but instead had a look of laughter on his face.

"Yeah, these guys still have the courage." Li Mou also had the same expression, "However, this also shows that our pressure during this period has been effective. They really can't hold it in anymore, and now they all jump out.

, these are probably all the power those gentry can use behind their backs."

"Well, that's almost it. Being able to gather tens of thousands of people without collapse and attack Quanzhou City together is indeed their limit. After this battle, the entire Quanzhou Prefecture will probably be able to calm down." Li Yan

He sighed and then quickly ordered.

"Li Mou, the governor of Quanzhou, asked him to gather three thousand people to deal with the aftermath of our army."

"Yes!" Li Mou cupped his fists and hurried away.

As the leader of the regiment, Li Yan immediately took the organized troops. In addition to Quanzhou City, an army of thousands of people galloped all the way with the sound of people shouting and horses neighing. Soon the scouts found out the route of the rebels.

They moved very slowly. At this time, they were only twenty miles away from the left guard of Quanzhou. They were marching towards Quanzhou City in a bustling mess. The number of the entire rebel army was about 30,000, but the crowd was sparse and chaotic.

It looked like there were 100,000 people.

Of course, the banner they used was to attack Quanzhou with a hundred thousand troops. It is said that this method was devised by the commander-in-chief who loved to watch the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The generals there often liked to lie about their claims during battles. He thought this method was good, so he learned it.

However, in the eyes of the scouts, these people did not have any deterrent effect at all. They looked at 30,000 people as if they were looking at 30,000 pigs.

Soon, the scout returned, and Li Yan immediately knew the situation of the other party. When he heard the number of thirty thousand, he did not panic at all, but smiled confidently.

One thousand versus thirty thousand, if it were placed on a thousand Ming army, Li Yan would not dare to think about it, but from the perspective of a fully equipped field army, these people on the opposite side are not a threat at all.
