Zhu Hongyu took out part of it and distributed it to the soldiers of the Liberation Army to boost their morale.
A large amount was also distributed to the families of the Liberation Army soldiers who were killed or disabled in battle, as pensions for those killed or disabled in battle.
Then, use these fields as a powerful tool to attract young Chinese to serve as soldiers!
Due to the influence of the ideological concept of emphasizing literature over martial arts since the Song Dynasty, the Chinese are not very interested in serving as soldiers.
The saying that a good man should not be a soldier and a good man should not hammer nails into pieces is not just talk!
Without enough profit temptation, it is not easy for young Chinese to give up their traditional concepts and become soldiers.
However, given the Chinese people's attachment to the land, Zhu Hongyu did not believe that he could not recruit enough soldiers by using the land as a bargaining chip.
Zhu Hongyu's method can be said to be simple and crude, but absolutely effective!
As soon as the news that Zhu Hongyu joined the army and divided his fields was released, the recruitment points of the Liberation Army were crowded with people.
Although many of these Chinese look down on soldiers, no one can resist the temptation of land!
Even the land of Luzon!
…
The ruling core of the Liberation Army also began to relocate!
The camps in the mountains are still maintained, and there are even some manpower left to guard them.
However, as important units such as weapon workshops and schools moved away one after another, the importance of the camps in the river valley also plummeted.
Zhu Hongyu ordered people to send a message to the Igorot people in the mountains, inviting them to settle on the plains, and expressed his willingness to divide the land to give them autonomy.
The Crocodile Tribe and other Igorot people rejected Zhu Hongyu's proposal because they were accustomed to living in the mountains.
Maybe you also think it’s not safe to settle in the plains!
However, as the results of the Liberation Army's outings spread, the scale of transactions between the Igorots and the Liberation Army continued to expand.
Even some isolated indigenous tribes in the mountains brought goods to exchange iron tools and materials with the Liberation Army.
Everything is developing in a good direction.
The number of recruits in the new barracks of the Liberation Army is increasing, and the combat effectiveness of the Liberation Army is also steadily increasing.
Moreover, as the Liberation Army gained a foothold in the plains, Chinese gradually began to leave the Spanish rule and settle under the Liberation Army.
The fundamental reason is that the Liberation Army is the Chinese people's own political power and represents the Chinese people's own interests.
Under the Spanish rule, the Chinese were oppressed by the Spanish, and their status was even inferior to that of the natives.
Moreover, the Governor's Office specifically targeted the Chinese and levied heavy taxes in an attempt to force the Chinese to stop worshiping their ancestors and instead believe in God.
Who can bear this grievance?
Not only that, the Chinese people are always worried about when the Spaniards will massacre China again and chop off their heads with the red-haired butcher knife.
Given the choice, who would want to stay under Spanish rule?
But on the Liberation Army side, Zhu Hongyu truly regarded every Chinese population as a treasure.
Even if you are penniless, have nothing, and come to the Liberation Army naked, Zhu Hongyu will not starve you to death.
Under such circumstances, one can only imagine what choices the Chinese people will make.
Such things continue to happen, and the population, materials, etc. that can be controlled by the Liberation Army are increasing.
Although Zhu Hongyu was extremely tired during this period, he was relatively happy in his heart.
…
On January 22, 1661 AD, the families of the Liberation Army moved out of the mountains and came to Lingayen.
Zhu Hongyu came out to greet him personally. His eyes were bright and he could see the girl in the crowd at a glance.
Li Lingxiu also looked at him without blinking!
The two people's eyes met, and then quickly turned away. The girl's face turned red with embarrassment at Zhu Hongyu's fiery eyes.
Zhu Hongyu grinned, but he did not go looking for his sweetheart now, but suddenly, the expression on his face stiffened.
He saw Kaya standing next to Li Lingxiu!
Zhu Hongyu and Kaya looked at each other, but Kaya did not look away shyly like Li Lingxiu, but looked at Zhu Hongyu timidly.
A pair of eyes full of wildness, he grinned at Zhu Hongyu, revealing two cute little tiger teeth.
Zhu Hongyu was slightly surprised, why did Kaya get mixed up with the family members of the Liberation Army?
But he didn't take it seriously, and instead turned around to arrange the placement of his family members.
Along with these family members, there was also the weapons workshop of the Liberation Army.
In order not to affect the output of the weapons workshop due to relocation, Zhu Hongyu adopted the method of relocating in batches.
Shanwai started to build a new workshop. After building part of the factory buildings, the corresponding workers were relocated.
Others are staying still for now!
Although relocation is an urgent matter, weapons production cannot be stopped.
As the Liberation Army continues to recruit new soldiers, the gap in weapons is also getting bigger and bigger.
As for muskets and artillery, a lot of them were captured from the Spaniards, and they are enough for the time being.
However, the gap in fragmentary weapons and equipment such as plate armor, bayonets, shields, etc. is getting bigger and bigger.
Weapons production really cannot stop for a moment!
That night, Zhu Hongyu was writing furiously behind the desk in his room, planning the issue of the official system of the Liberation Army.
The Liberation Army is no longer the rebel army huddled in the mountains, with little territory and few troops.
With the brilliant victory achieved in the Chushan Campaign, the Liberation Army now has more than 10,000 civilians and nearly 2,000 soldiers under its control, although half of them are untrained recruits.
The area is not too small!
If there is no reasonable official system as before, it will be difficult for the system of the Liberation Army to continue to operate.
Zhu Hongyu can't handle so many things by himself. He needs someone to help him share some government affairs problems.
Zhu Hongyu wrote, "Regulations on Determining the Official System of the Military Government of the Liberation Army".
According to Zhu Hongyu's vision, based on the principle of separation of civil and military affairs, the Liberation Army military government would be divided into two parts: the Internal Affairs Department and the Military Affairs Department.
The Internal Affairs Department has jurisdiction over: household registration, taxation, construction, education, diplomacy, justice, industry, commerce, agricultural publicity, development planning and other departments.
The Household Registration Section is responsible for enumerating the population, land acres, determining household registration, etc.
The Taxation Section is responsible for determining and implementing tax collection work.
The Construction Department is responsible for construction matters, including roads, houses, bridges, bastions, weapons workshops, etc. All matters related to construction are responsible for the overall planning and scheduling.
The Education Department is responsible for educational matters such as the establishment of schools, examinations, and even future imperial examinations.
The Diplomacy Department is responsible for foreign exchanges, etc. In other words, the powers and responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites in the past three provinces and six ministries were assigned to the two departments of Education and Diplomacy respectively.
The Judicial Branch is responsible for judicial affairs, the Industrial Branch is responsible for coordinating industrial development, and the Commercial Branch is responsible for promoting commercial development.
What the Propaganda Section does is propaganda, including promoting the policies of the Liberation Army and the military government, and promoting the greatness of the leader Zhu Hongyu. In the future, he will be used as the mouthpiece of the imperial court to compete with Shilin for the right to speak.
The development plan is also well understood. He is responsible for coordinating the development plan and implementing the development tasks assigned by Zhu Hongyu.
There is also a Quanxu Division responsible for assessing the merits and demerits of officials and determining their promotion and dismissal.
