Chapter 1094 Village and Town System

The next morning, Gao Yigong sent back a message from the Tiger Cavalry.

As Li Na had predicted, after the Tiger Cavalry slaughtered in the Kuisudra Sea, the Uzhumuqin Left Banner suffered heavy casualties, and Zasak Belle Selen was unable to win the battle, and could not lead his troops to escape the pursuit of the cavalry, so he was forced to submit to the Tiger Cavalry.

Gao Yigong told Li Zicheng in the message that he had naturalized the Wuzhumuqin Left Banner in accordance with the requirements of the "Lefu Regulations", and Seleng agreed without any hesitation.

Li Zicheng was very happy in his heart, and according to Gao Yigong's estimated population, he changed the Wuzhumuqin Left Banner to Weiju County, and the Kuisudrahai Sea, where the county seat is located, was also renamed Weiju.

Zasak Belle Selen, renamed Han Yong, temporarily served as the county of Weijuzhi.

Li Zicheng also sent three military officials to Weiju County, who served as court presidents, tax collectors, and civil officials, to assist Han Yong in registering the population and redistributing pastures.

He gave Han Yong an order that all the strong men in Weiju County would be incorporated into the Tiger Cavalry, and they would graze normally on weekdays.

In order to strengthen the jurisdiction of Weiju, Li Zicheng reorganized the 3,000 Zhuang men in Weiju County in accordance with the town and village system: ten households are one village, and there is one village head; The ten villages are one town, with a town mayor and a deputy town mayor.

After the massacre, there was a surplus of pastures in the county, and the villages and towns were basically animal husbandry and settlement, and the herders lived separately on the possible transportation arteries in the west of the county.

The village head, town head, and deputy town chief are not officials of Weiju County, and they have a small amount of money, but they are not allowed to collect additional taxes from the herdsmen.

Li Zicheng estimated that in the entire Weiju County, with the county seat as the center, about 20 towns, the herdsmen were separated from each other on weekdays, and there was a lack of communication with each other, so it would be difficult to organize against the Han people in the future, and after settling down, the herdsmen would limit the breeding of war horses.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the village and town system will also be implemented in Shanggu Province and Lefu County, and only the westernmost counties of Weiye and Gaogang have not implemented the village and town system for the time being.

Li Zicheng personally sat in Shanggu Mansion, and with the assistance of the cavalry of the first battalion, forcibly promoted the village and town system, but Lefu County did not use coercive means, but handed it over to Li Xu to implement it himself.

Before the village and town system of Shanggu Prefecture was completely over, Li Junzhuo sent a message: The right banner of Uzhumuqin in the northeast has been returned to Huaxia!

The population of Uzhumuqin Right Banner is slightly smaller than that of Weiju County, only 2,400 dingkou, I don't know if Wang Junzhuo's killing is heavier, or if the population itself is small.

Li Zicheng immediately changed the Uzhumuqin Right Banner to Weifang County in accordance with the method of Weiju County, and the Baksul Hatai Mountain, on which it depended, was also renamed Weifang Mountain.

Dorzi, the prince of Chechnya and Zasak Heshuo, changed his name to Shen Hong, and became the governor of Weifang.

The village and town system, animal husbandry and settlement system were also introduced in Weifang County.

Li Zicheng asked the Tiger Cavalry to be stationed in Shanggu Prefecture, Weiju County, and Weifang County, and all the strong men in Shanggu Prefecture and its subordinate counties will be incorporated into the Tiger Cavalry after the implementation of the village and town system.

Gao Yigong smiled from ear to ear, in addition to the original fixed 3,000 cavalry, this came to Shanggu Mansion, the tiger cavalry increased sharply to 10,000 people, however, the new cavalry is not a full-time cavalry, but half civilian and half soldiers, only during the war, get the order of the military department, or the emperor's holy decree, can mobilize all the troops, daily time, or three thousand cavalry, mainly used to maintain local stability.

At this point, the entire Shanggu Prefecture has basically completed the administrative setup, in addition to the five counties of Weiye, Gaogang, Lefu, Weiju, and Weifang, there is also a Shangdu County close to the side wall.

When Li Zicheng came out of Juyong Pass, he passed through Shangdu County, which is the place where Hu and Han live together, and Huaxia now occupies the advantage of the game, but because it is surrounded by Mongolian tribes, it has not established an official government, and this time it is also in Shangdu County, which belongs to Shanggu Mansion.

He already had a plan in his heart, once he freed up his hands, he would build a road from Beijing to Xuanfu, through Zhangyuan (Zhangjiakou) to Shangdu County, Shanggu Province, and hoped that this road would become a trade road in the future, for the stability of Shanggu Province, and also for the development of industrial services in the Beijing-Tianjin area.

The establishment of Shanggu Prefecture was not only a great success of the Chinese strategy of "breaking through the middle road" outside the border walls, and establishing prefectures and counties thousands of miles away in the north of Jingshi, but more importantly, represented by the "Lefu Regulations", including the village and town system, animal husbandry and settlement system, began to be implemented outside the Guan, and the Mongolian tribes were naturalized on a large scale.

When the first battalion sent back the message, conquered the Keshiketeng Division, and the leader Sonomu returned to Shun, Li Zicheng had no trouble except for joy.

The population of the Keshiketeng tribe was no more than 1,000 people, and it was not compiled by the Manchus.

Li Zicheng led the remaining three cavalry regiments and personal soldiers of the first battalion to the south, while the wolf cavalry passed through Weifang County and went straight to the Bahrain department.

The Mandate of Heaven army exited Juyong Pass and went north to Shanggu Province, making a big circle, this time marching from north to south.

Li Zicheng went to the Keshiketeng Division, and Lei Wanjun had already greeted him at Jilabas Peak, "Your Majesty, Weichen is here to greet the Emperor, and the Second Regiment Xu Yongsheng's Division has advanced eastward, and will join forces with the wolf cavalry to attack the Bahrain Division." ”

"Rise up!" Li Zicheng glanced at the scattered herdsmen in the distance, and said, "How is the Keshiketeng Department now, and how many strong men are there?" Are they honest and obedient? ”

"Back to the emperor, there are still more than 500 dings left in the Keshiketeng department," Lei Wanjun got up and replied: "These 500 dings are now under the control of the first regiment, as for whether they are honest and obedient, Weichen doesn't know......"

"Five hundred?" Li Zicheng said in his heart, didn't the message last time say 1,000, why is there only 500 left? It must have been Lei Wanjun, they slaughtered!

He didn't blame, not because Lei Wanjun was born in his own army, but because these Mongols had killed a lot of Han people, during the Chongzhen period, they broke through with the cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and a lot of killings and looting around the Beijing division also had their share, and the living Mongols may have been stained with the blood and tears of the Han people.

He is not revenge, when is the time for retribution?

In the northern Xinjiang of China, if you want to be peaceful forever, you can only naturalize the Mongols outside the border wall, kill some, and deter the living, the smaller the population, the more dispersed the strength, and the greater the possibility of naturalization as Han Chinese.

"Your Majesty, Wechen ......"

Li Zicheng waved his hand, "Five hundred or not, the fewer people, the less pasture will be needed, and it will be easier to raise livestock and settle down, but there are only five hundred ding, and this county can't be done by Sonomu," he turned around and looked at Mao Chenggong, the military official behind him, "Chenggong, this position of magistrate, you will be in charge, don't be afraid of the small population, it is also a great achievement to be able to completely naturalize these Mongols into Han Chinese, if conditions permit, I am ready to move a group of Han people here, even if it is dozens or hundreds." ”

"Weichen thanks the emperor for his kindness," Mao Chenggong kowtowed and thanked him, and said: "Your Majesty, this place is remote and cold, I'm afraid no people will be willing to settle here!"

Li Zicheng thinks about it, this place is about six or seven hundred miles away from Beijing, that is, from the side wall, and the straight-line distance is also three hundred miles, unless he commits a capital crime......

His heart suddenly moved, there will not be too many death row prisoners in Huaxia, but there are still many felons, if they are relocated......

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng turned over and dismounted, and said: "Xiaomi, immediately send a message to Beijing, and let Liang Wencheng organize all the death row prisoners in the five northern provinces and the felons with a remaining sentence of more than five years. ”

"Weichen begs the emperor for a name!"

"It's okay," Li Zicheng thought for a while, and said, "Let's call it 'Caibin'!" Chenggong, from now on, you will be Caibin Zhixian!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Zicheng asked Mao Chenggong to get up, but asked He Xiaomi to pass a message to Liang Wencheng as soon as possible, and asked Liang Wencheng to move all the condemned prisoners in the five northern provinces and the remaining felons with a sentence of more than five years to Caibin County.

Mao Chenggong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, these prisoners are assigned to Caibin County, how can Weichen have cattle and sheep to give them?" ”

"Mao Aiqing, I will first correct one point, as long as these people settle down in Caibin County, they will no longer be prisoners, but ordinary people," Li Zicheng said: "As for cattle and sheep, Aiqing doesn't have to worry, according to the military law of the tiger cavalry and wolf cavalry, every time they capture, thirty percent will be handed in, plus the capture of the first battalion, it should not be a problem to feed hundreds of men, right?" ”

Lei Wanjun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has nearly a thousand cows and three or four thousand sheep in his hands now!"

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "There are not only cattle and sheep, but also Mongolian women, if the Han people who move north have no families, they will marry these women as wives, I think, some people can't ask for their mother-in-law at home, and they can't wait to move north!"

"The Emperor's ......"

"Cheng Gong is worried, these are all barbaric people, worried that they will not obey discipline?"

"The Emperor Shengming!"

"Cheng Gong think about it, the Han people moved north, there are many Mongols around, sooner or later there will be friction, do you think, do they want the protection of the government at that time?" Li Zicheng said with a smile: "These people will not only not go against the government, but will also beg the government!"

"And what if they run away?"

"Escape? This place is hundreds of miles away from the city of Beijing, where are they running? Li Zicheng said: "Besides, I gave them cattle and sheep, pastures, and mothers-in-law, exempted them from their sentences, and released them for the people, are they willing to go home to serve their sentences?" ”

"Wechen understands!"

Li Zicheng said again: "There is also the head of the Keshiketeng Department, Suo Nuomu, let him serve as a civil official in the county government, as long as he is willing to naturalize as a Han Chinese, even the Han name I have thought about it, Zhen Shi, really serve the Han people." ”

"Weichen understands," Mao Chenggong arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, is Caibin County subordinate to Shanggu Mansion?" ”

Li Zicheng thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "Caibin County is not subordinate to Shanggu Mansion, I plan to restore the name of the Tang Dynasty to the Zhaowu Dameng of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the south, Rao Le, Rao Le Fu, and Caibin County is subordinate to Rao Le Fu." ”
