Chapter 2 Granting Fields

As soon as the word "granting land" came out, everyone was shocked. Even Luo Dai, who was not interested in this meeting and had been yawning for days, became serious.

Land is the lifeblood of the Chinese. It is also one of the fundamental problems of ancient China.

Zhang Xuan knows the soldiers under his command very well, and if he really fights a big battle, there will not be enough supervising teams behind him. Suffering three out of ten casualties, they collapsed, for example. But how to improve their cohesion. Zhang Xuan thought about it, and could only find the answer from history.

The system of rewarding fields for military merits naturally appeared in Zhang Xuan's sight.

At the time of Linying, Zhang Xuan had a lot of people under his command, but there was no one to share in the real chores. Zhang Xuan is self-aware, if he personally presides over the granting of fields, I am afraid that it will make a mess, but at this moment, it is only suitable in Runing.

The first is the issue of land.

Although fighting local tyrants and dividing the land is the only way to raise troops. But Zhang Xuan also knew that the gentry should not be offended too much in this era. After all, the gentry were forced to death. Their counterattack is also quite powerful. And Runing Mansion does not have this consideration.

Because 80% of the land in Runing Mansion is owned by the Chongwang family.

When it comes to attacking the land of the vassal king, the gentry have always applauded.

Moreover, all of the Chongwang family were taken away by Li Zicheng, Zhang Xuan didn't even need to clean it up, and the vacated land was just to buy people's hearts. Wouldn't it be wonderful.

"I don't know, what charter does the general have." Zhang Zhen said.

He thought about it the most, and his eyes were shining at the moment. It seems to be like getting acquainted with Zhang Xuan again.

"What the charter is, it needs to be decided by the eldest brother." Zhang Xuan said: "However, there are three points to pay attention to, the first is not to take away people's property. I have learned that 80% of the land in Runing Mansion is owned by the Chongwang family, especially in Ruyang County, almost the entire Ruyang County is Chongwang, so the land needed for granting land comes from the land of Chongwang. If there is a small people who have their own land, they do not need to be requisitioned. ”

"Second, the army before the people." Zhang Xuan said solemnly: "And today is the place where it will be used, and it is not possible to chill the hearts of soldiers, so there is priority in the army in the matter of granting land." Cao Zongyu. ”

"The end will be." Cao Zongyu got up and said.

"You coordinate with Governor Zhang to implement the matter of granting land to every soldier. If the sergeants and soldiers of the army are not married, give them a mother-in-law, and let him serve the land. Tell the whole army that the army will provide their mother-in-law with food. Zhang Xuan said.

"General, I'm afraid this food is not enough." Zhang Zhen said immediately. As a big account room in Zhang Xuan's camp. I couldn't be more familiar with Zhang Xuan's family background, Zhang Xuan's order, I don't know how many mouths there are, Zhang Xuan's family background is not enough at all.

"Here's to you

。 Zhang Xuan took out a list from his sleeve and handed it to Zheng Lian. Zheng Lian immediately forwarded it to Zhang Qian, Zhang Zhen opened it and saw that it was a list, silently counted it, and said: "This is enough, enough to support until next year." ”

Zhang Xuan also had a little idea of relief in doing so.

It is women who hurt the most in war. Even in Kaifeng City, the first to starve to death was a woman, and a woman did not have a man to rely on in the troubled times, and she really didn't live as well as a dog. And Zhang Xuan has calculated his family background. If we let go of the relief to the whole city, it will not be enough at all.

And in doing so, he first made a large number of singles in the army become relatives, and it was enough for a woman to marry if he could eat in these years. Second, it also stabilized the morale of the army, improved morale, and a sense of belonging with the soldiers. Zhang Xuan must think carefully and use the minimum cost to achieve the greatest effect.

"Thank you, General." Cao Zongyu said.

"Third." Zhang Xuan continued: "For the sake of politics, persuade farmers first. Therefore, the eldest brother, the matter of granting land should also adhere to this principle. You must know that the military rations of the whole army depend on the output of the land in this county. ”

Zhang Zhen said: "Please rest assured, general. Within a few days, the subordinates will definitely submit the charter of the grant of land and the compilation of households. ”

Zhang Xuan nodded, there is only one powerful civil official under his command, Zhang Zhen is the only one, there is no way without Zhang Qian, Zhang Xuan never overestimates his internal affairs attributes, after all, many things that are taken for granted in modern times are shocking in ancient times. The people below inevitably did not adapt, and because of Zhang Xuan's authority, they did not dare to report to Zhang Xuan. Therefore, Zhang Xuan's best way is to let someone else come, and he just checks and fills in the gaps.

After this one thing is agreed, the matter moves on to the next link. Zhang Xuan said: "Those prisoners in the army, are they still safe? ”

Since Hu Dawei's death, the horse infantry that followed Hu Dawei to fight, at least thousands of soldiers, have been blocked from the city gates. Luo Rucai filled these soldiers into Zhang Xuan's department with a stroke of his pen. In the long run, it was very beneficial to Zhang Xuan's department, but it limited Zhang Xuan's military strength for a while.

When there were the camps, Cao camps, and the five battalions of Gezuo, they were naturally still safe, but after the army left, Zhang Xuan didn't know if these prisoners would be so peaceful.

After all, even if it is to digest these captives, it will take time, and you can't eat a fat man in one bite, so you can only be strangled to death.

Therefore, during this period of time, the most important thing in the army. Nothing else, just how to digest these captives. Take it for yourself.

"There is a large army to suppress it, and they don't dare to do anything. There is a general to give the field. Naturally, they couldn't be more at ease. There are so many people all of a sudden, how to arrange it, and ask the general to show it. Cao Zongyu said.

The previous expansion of Zhang Xuan's troops was all tinkering, and no changes were made on the big framework. The framework is based on the fact that Zhang Xuan accepted 3,000 Baoding prisoners in the Battle of Xiangcheng. None of them were big after that

changes.

And now that so many people have been added at once, just to fill the staff, there is simply no room for so many people. For such a thing, Zhang Xuan must nod.

Zhang Xuan pondered for a while and said, "That's true, it's like this in the army." An extra layer of compilation should be added. Let's discuss this matter today. ”

Zhang Xuan, as the chief general, directly managed several generals, and when the number of people in the army reached 5,000, Zhang Xuan directly managed nine generals, as well as direct personal guards, which was already inconvenient.

Zhang Xuan wants to re-plan and compile. It's just that this matter can't be explained at once.

Moreover, Zhang Zhen is well-informed, and the establishment of the army has something to do with the granting of fields, so he also stayed here to discuss.

They deliberated for a while. It's finally settled.

The most basic Shiwu system has not changed. Then there are five hundred households as a sentry and a general number. Five posts are a battalion, plus a baggage post, a total of 3,000 people. for a battalion.

One of the battalions had five posts, divided into front, rear, left, right, and center. Five outposts, of which the Chinese army is the battalion officer's personal guard. It is directly under the jurisdiction of the battalion officer. Baggage posts generally operate with the Chinese army.

In Zhang Xuan's planning, a battalion is the most basic tactical unit, which can carry out tactical operations alone.

After streamlining the soldiers, it was set up into three battalions, which were named after the camp number, Nanyang Battalion, and Cao Zongyu as the battalion officer. The Baoding battalion has Wang Jincai as the battalion officer. There is also the Linying camp, which was led by Zhang Xuan himself. There are also more than 1,000 horse teams, led by Luo Dai.

The soldiers are also divided into three classes, and the new soldiers are those who have not participated in a single battle since joining the army. An old soldier is a soldier who has experienced a battle and has been beheaded on the battlefield, or has experienced many battles. And then there's the armor.

A soldier is naturally a soldier in armor.

Armor is scarce, and in general, only the personal guards of generals at all levels can be called. They are all extremely tough soldiers.

All the soldiers in Zhang Xuan's camp were selected, and together, there were only more than 1,000 soldiers and the like. But this is also because Zhang Xuan has only more than 1,000 pairs of armor in his hand.

The reason why Zhang Xuan is classified like this. It is to regularize the non-commissioned soldiers, and the number of fields granted to the three types of non-commissioned officers is different, and then there are officers.

Hundreds of households, the general officer, the battalion officer, each granted a different number of fields. It was preliminarily decided that there were 30 acres for recruits, 60 acres for veterans, and 100 acres for soldiers. 200 acres for 100 households, 500 acres for total, and 1,000 acres for camp officials.

As for the three Zhang brothers and the scribes who followed Zhang Xuan, they were also granted land according to the rank of officer. Among them, the three Zhang brothers were at the level of battalion officers, and the rest were all equal. Although a lot of acres of land are needed in total, Zhang Zhen splits the horn and pulls it out, and it needs a small 500,000 mu of land.
