Section 1290 Guns for all
The superintendent, Yan Donglai, was sitting in the governor's office drinking tea with the messenger of the decree, which was originally a wealthy family and was requisitioned by the army.
The living room is very large, and on one side it is used to entertain guests, and on the other hand, large maps are placed on a large table.
Seeing Zu Dashou and Fu Tianxi coming in, Yan Donglai stood up and saluted Zu Dashou first.
Although he is a relative of the king, from the southeast army, to the Xinming army in charge of supervising the army, but not arrogant, seeing Zu Dashou, keep saying "learn from the old Yuanrong", the attitude is modest and cautious, only within the scope of his authority, beyond his scope of authority does not stretch out his hand, respect Zu Dashou, respect colleagues, so since Zu Dashou laid down the officers and he gets along.
Zu Dashou returned to the military salute, and Fu Tianxi hurriedly saluted Yan Donglai, he was a civilian prefect, but he had the responsibility of "serving before the army", and he was confidential and participated in military affairs.
On the small table, there is a golden royal decree, not a royal decree.
The southeast king of the Ming Dynasty controlled the armed forces of the whole country, and the military, government and military orders were arrested, and he had returned to Nanjing, but he did not come, and now he sent someone to pass the decree.
It didn't take much trouble, light the incense burner, and everyone read the decree.
On this will, the king of the southeast ordered to shoot the people of the nine sides, widely mobilize the people, and arm the whole people!
Ask them to actively use muskets and fight the enemy hard!
The use of muskets is divided into two parts, one is from east to west, Jinan, Taiyuan, and the areas north of Mizhi, where people can carry guns freely, and you can carry guns to the streets, go to school and work.
In the southern part of the country, it is under control, except for military personnel and people with guns approved by the relevant authorities, who are not allowed to carry guns on the streets, but people are required to undergo military training.
This decree indicates that the imperial court has the responsibility of establishing a "People's Armed Forces Department" throughout the country to engage in civilian military training, form a militia, and prepare reservists.
In fact, this matter has been tried for a long time, and now it is being implemented nationwide.
Arm the people and fight when the enemy encounters them!
We, the Chinese nation, will never bow to the enemy and never surrender!
After reading this will, Zu Dashou praised it and said happily: "The prince is the prince!" Fu Tianxi also felt the same way.
In Chinese history, the emperors were afraid of the people's rebellion, did not dare to arm the people, the first emperor won the world, collected the soldiers of Kyushu and cast them as twelve gold people, the Han and Tang dynasties violated the ban with martial arts, and vigorously cracked down, so that the Ming Dynasty "road" appeared, and the ordinary people who did not have the official government to open the road will be difficult to move an inch, the Yuan Dynasty was strong, and ten households had to have a kitchen knife to cut vegetables.
The king of the southeast issued guns to the people, and the large-scale military of the people was precisely his ambition, full of confidence, and not afraid of the people's rebellion.
Fu Tianxi thinks further, the times are different!
In the past, the relationship between the court and the people was mostly governance, that is, the court was in charge of the people, and the people paid taxes and labor to the court, and the court also had benefits for the people, such as stabilizing society, resisting foreign enemies, and providing relief in disaster years.
But in all dynasties, no emperor gave as much as the king of the southeast!
He actively developed the economy, and the current magistrates all regard the improvement of "pig fart" as their most important task, and the evaluation indicators are also made in this regard, requiring them to develop the economy without offending the people and not plundering the people's property.
The economy has developed, the people have to do well, the southeast king established the new Ming, the people have benefited greatly, Fu Tianxi is a pro-people official, and he is deeply touched, the people get silver dollars, the family has surplus grain, and they are much richer than ten years ago!
Under Fu Tianxi's rule, he knows how poor the people can be!
In the past, there were so many people in the family, there was only one set of clothes, and only those who left the house could wear clothes, and the house was full of fruit syrup, no way, too poor!
But now this phenomenon is rare, taking children as an example, the state gives school uniforms and stationery to children who go to school, and gives children dignity, and how many children from poor families wear school uniforms issued by the government to go out.
In many cities, the state already provides students with free breakfast and lunch!
The major rivers of the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, the Pearl River, the Huai River, and the southeastern provinces have done the best, and these areas have convenient water transportation, and grain ships can go up to supply grain.
Even if the country's grain harvest fails, there is still grain from the southeast and Annan, which can be supplied and become a welfare for the people!
Roads are built everywhere, infrastructure is built, and the society is invested, and the people are all benefited.
According to the system, the government abolished forced labor, and all projects were paid to migrant workers!
The implementation of social welfare, the construction of schools, hospitals, care for the people, so that the elderly have support, the sick have medical treatment, it can be said that the people benefit far better than the previous dynasty!
Enlightening the people's wisdom and implementing illiteracy, the people gradually understood the concepts of "state" and "nation", and the king of the southeast has long promoted his personality cult in the country, and the people worship him as a god!
Such a monarch is really not afraid of the people rebelling against him, on the contrary, as soon as he calls for it, all the people will respond!
Zu Dashou Huo Ran stood up, waved his big hand and said: "According to the will of the prince, give guns to the people!" Armed for all! ”
Yan Donglai shouted: "If you meet the enemy, you will fight!" ”
……
In Zhangjiakou, the lively streets of Zhangbei County are full of people, and the people rush to buy and sell things when the military situation is not hot, and the purchase and sales are booming.
Zhangjiakou area is an important defense pass of the Ming Great Wall, the Mongols came to raid before, Zhangbei County closed the city for a month in succession, only retreated before yesterday, the Ming army sentry horse poked out that the enemy had retreated for a hundred miles, so the city gate was opened today, and the people hiding around came into the city to collect goods.
A group of peasants in the crowd? Knife hands? They were dressed ordinarily, all in peasant attire, but they wore leather armor, swords around their waists, some of them were carrying tridents and red cherry guns, and two of them carried bows and arrows.
The first one was about fifty years old, with deep wrinkles on his forehead, but he was actually in his forties, with dark skin, a square forehead and a wide mouth, and a long dry tobacco stick pinned to his trouser belt.
This person is called Qi Jiasan, is the head of the wolf nest ditch village, the wolf nest ditch is located in Zhangbei County Yehu Lingnan 15 kilometers south of the Heifengkou ditch, listen to the names of these three places, you know what kind of boundary this is - this is the place where soldiers have always been fighting, there have been more than 1,000 battles in history.
Qi Jiasan walked unhurriedly on the county street, followed by his son Qi Ming, nephew Qi Le, and six farmers in the village pulling three donkey carts.
He received news from the county yesterday that he was asked to come to the county office for a meeting this morning, and that he was asked to bring enough means of transportation.
However, if you want them to bring transportation, it should be beneficial for them, right?
When I went to the county office, there were already a lot of donkey carts and carts outside, and a large number of croppers were waiting outside, and there were many people selling snacks to sell business to them.
Many of the farmers carried swords and spears on their backs, and bows and arrows on their backs.
Different from the former Ming Dynasty, the new Ming Dynasty folk military training was popularized, especially in the border areas, men had to dance knives and guns, once the country had something, Ding Zhuang led the string to fight, and never waited to be killed.
Because it is a war zone, the county government is not standing guard but the army.
Liu Jiasan asked the others to stay, and he showed the officers and soldiers who guarded the door his license, that is, the village chief's certificate, which was a piece of hard paper with a small portrait of him and a description of his appearance, as well as the seal of the government, so the officers and soldiers let him in.
The people from the county government led him to the second hall, and there were already dozens of people in it, it was the township head, village chief and others of the three townships of Zhangbei County, the village chief of the 38 villages, Liu Jiasan was too late.
In the center of the hall was an open weapon case with clusters of new smoothbore guns!
