In fact, in the past few months, Bai Yuanjie has been running for the exploits of the first battle in the east of Qingyuan City, and personally went to Guangdong to command the envoys, the political division, and even the former military governor's office sent people to send letters, which made a relatively fair evaluation of the war outside Qingyuan City-they had meritorious service against the enemy.

Only by determining that it is meritorious rather than disobedient, can it be further possible to be rewarded, and when all the dust settles, that is, when Chen Mu and the others heard that Bai Yuanjie was promoted to deputy Qianhu. After that, Bai Yuanjie took a boat all the way up the Beijiang River, along the river to Shaozhou and other places, and he did a great thing.

Recruitment.

Recruit the barbarians known as the barbarians to fill the missing military households of the five and hundred households under his subordinates, so Bai Yuanjie recruited an army of more than 400 Zhengding and more than 1,000 Yuding, and returned to Qingyuan downstream.

"Qianhu, this is what you said about recruiting some family soldiers?"

With Bai Yuanjie's return, when Chen Mu's feet stepped into the thousands of households in Qingcheng, thousands of people in the wall were in full swing, men and women embroidered tattoos, thousands of household flags were planted in the middle of thousands of households, and dragon and snake flags were planted around. On the Beijiang River, which is not far from the thousands of households in Qingcheng, hundreds of fishing boats and boats docked on the shore, which is the ancestral system of the barbarian people who have set the boat as their home since the time of Taizu.

More than 400 households, with thousands of family members, were all recruited by Bai Yuanjie as family soldiers and used as military households.

This kind of operation is very fascinating in Chen Mu's opinion, Emperor Taizu didn't say that the Tanhu on the boat can't become a military household, nor did he say that he can't be recruited as a family soldier, but even if the Bai family has money, he can't help tossing like this, right?

"Chen Erlang, Qingyuan fought with the Japanese Kou, what do you think?" Bai Yuanjie didn't respond to Chen Mu's ridiculous question, lightly covered his hands and looked at the Qianhu House in Qingcheng, and said with a solemn face: "The guards are useless, Bai knows it." But Bai didn't know that they were so useless! More than 3,000 military households were frightened by 100 Japanese robbers and lived in the city and did not dare to fight, and the soldiers led by 100 households were only 40...... Do you know how many registered military households are in Bai's five departments and hundreds of households under the command of a thousand households? Two hundred, two hundred and seventeen households. Military discipline is sloppy and morale is low, is this kind of guard army or my Ming army to protect the country? ”

Chen Mu looked down at his feet, and then looked at those Tanhu who were tattooed like dragons, and did not speak. What can he say? Tell Bai Yuanjie that all the guards in the entire Ming Dynasty are like this, and some guards even have only one person left in a thousand households?

"It's going to be different." Bai Yuanjie's young face was excited, and he stretched out his hand and waved to the Qianhu in Qingcheng, pointing to those busy Tan people: "The local people say that the Tan people use the boat as a room to float on the sea, and they do not intermarry because of their lowly origins. But look at these Tan people, they have thick arms, big hips, wide waists, and hard waists, in Bai's opinion, they are the best soldiers - from today on, these five hundred households in Qingcheng will be called the barbarian camp! ”

Under Bai Yuanjie's ambition, Chen Mu carefully observed the busy Tan people and knew that what Bai Yuanjie said was true. In the past, it was said that swimmers have the best looking figure, with wide shoulders and long arms, which is shaped by the pressure of a lot of water exercise. The figure of the Tan people is not as good-looking as that, but it is more powerful, and each Tan man is like a door panel, wide and strong, although they may not all be as burly as Shao Tingda, but no one can deny that the Tan people are indeed excellent sergeants.

Chen Mu can find the reason from another angle, these Tan people are from a lowly background, rarely go ashore, but they live a hard life and eat much better than the military households, their recipes are not short of fish and meat, there are fine protein supplements nutrition, and they can travel dozens of miles at every turn, whether they are swimming or fishing, they can give them a huge amount of exercise.

So they are strong and powerful.

Bai Yuanjie originally wanted to invite Chen Mu to drink in the Bai family's mansion on Phoenix Street in Qingyuan City, but the first emperor's funeral had not yet been removed, and drinking and having fun was obviously out of place, so the two of them simply led the horse to lead a few personal soldiers along the official road and chatted, "Now the Wei Institute Wen Tian Wu Xi, the Wei Institute officers are even more so, Qingyuan 3,000 Banner Army, but the fighters are afraid that there are only hundreds, and now Bai has recruited the barbarian camp, and in the future, he will be the whole army to train the army, and the Tuntian matter, you Chen Erlang will not only be the general flag for my household, but you will have to take on more." ”

Saying that, Bai Yuanjie turned his head, "Your general banner will cultivate fifty hectares of fields." ”

Chen Mu naturally nodded in response, but his eyes widened after a turn in his mind, and he said in surprise: "Fifty hectares?!" ”

Fifty acres is five thousand acres of land.

In the Ming Dynasty, the military household of one person had fifty acres of military land, which was the ancestral system. At the beginning of the ancestral system, it was the land of each military household, but after a hundred years, the ancestral system could not help but be destroyed by the years, and most of today's military fields are privately owned by officers, and less than two-thirds of the harvests planted belong to military households. Fifty hectares of land, no matter whether it is fertile or bad, it means that Chen Mu has to cultivate the fields of a hundred households in the past, isn't this to exhaust him?

"You don't have to widen your eyes so wide, in the past, when Bai was in charge of 100 households, 100 households were cultivating 50 hectares of fields, and the banner army was only more than 60 households; You should be content with a Shangguan like Bai, Quan Qing Yuanwei may be able to find a full amount of small flags under your command, but you will never find a full amount of general flags under your command, you are the first. Bai Yuanjie raised his finger and pointed at Chen Mu, only then did he breathe out a deep and slow breath, and said: "In the past, the 100 military households, in addition to the war dead, participated in the battle of Qingyuan City, a total of 54 households, 54 Zhengding, and 213 Yuding, all of which were under your banner. ”

Chen Mu let go of his hanging heart when he heard this, if he really let him lead more than 20 families to cultivate 5,000 acres of land, he couldn't do this no matter what, but he could try it when he filled the flag army.

He could perceive the changes in Bai Yuanjie, obviously disobeying the order to fight for a while had a great impact on Bai Yuanjie, otherwise he would not have been like now, when he had just been promoted to deputy thousand households, he would have drastically implemented reforms under Qingyuanwei's own subordinates, thinking of this, he couldn't help but worry that the local forces were intertwined, and it was easy for a small banner to completely control the ten households under its command, but a deputy thousand households could completely control the five hundred households under his command?

This is!

Even if it was Qi Jiguang, if he didn't have Hu Zongxian's full support in his early years, would he be able to recruit and train the brave and warlike Qi family army?

What's more, Bai Yuanjie of Qingyuanwei!

"Those military households who dare not fight have been deregistered by Bai, and let them go to recruit as family members or recruiters. Bai is not greedy for money like the Guangdong garrison, and only seeks to train the army to fight and protect the Lingnan land. According to the custom, you can get three hectares of harvest in the military field as private property, Chen Erlang - can you think about it, where is the fifty hectares of military land divided? ”

Where is Juntian, can you still choose it yourself?

Chen Mu said without thinking: "On the south bank of the Beijiang River, Anyuan Station." ”

But he didn't want to, Bai Yuanjie was immediately furious when he heard it, looked at him with disdain, and reprimanded: "Eating for nothing, living in vain, addicted? ”

Note: At that time, the garrison of Guangdong was later the battle of Wanli to aid Korea, and the commander of the Ming army in the Battle of Luliang was Chen Luan.

He has a strategy, is good at soldiers, and is greedy - "History of the Ming Dynasty"
