Huang Daji is still satisfied with Kong Youde's military formation, although he doesn't know how to fight in actual combat, but it still looks like it looks like on the surface. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ（8.. Baidu Search)

Subsequently, Kong Youde and Shi Tingzhu performed test artillery, erected targets, and dozens of Hongyi cannons and general cannons fired one after another, and the momentum was earth-shattering. Huang Taiji imagined that Wang Dou's army formation would collapse under the bombardment of his own artillery, and he couldn't help but be fascinated.

After reading, Huang Taiji ordered to reward the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, Kong Youde, Shi Tingzhu, Shang Kexi. Geng Zhongming and others were presented with carved saddle horses and one hundred taels of silver. Each of its cattle Lu Zhangjing, Jiala Zhangjing and so on were given horses and silver. Each sergeant was rewarded with two horses of green cloth, and the gunners and medicine makers who inspected and released the artillery were given two more horses, and everyone sang like a tide.

After returning to Shengjing, Huang Taiji summoned a person and said slowly: "How is Wang Dou in the Ming Kingdom?" ”

The man knelt on the ground and said: "Back to the emperor, the spy workers in Xuanzhen sent a detailed report that Wang Douji went to Yongning to take office, and his tuntian was reclaimed, and the bandits were divided, and the movement was quite big. ”

Huang Taiji narrowed his eyes: "What about Baozhou, its military heavy factory, training area, grain storage warehouse, can it be explored?" ”

The man said: "Wang Dou strictly guarded the armor in Baoan Prefecture, and the guards were very strict, and the people on the street vigorously cleared the rebellion and suppressed the traitors. Its residents are hated by the Qing Dynasty, and the detectives are quite difficult to say. ”

Huang Taiji snorted: "Ermanzi City doesn't have to take care of the wealth, the money that should be spent will be spent, collect the newspaper, spy on the secrets of the road, or seek a military position, and spend a lot of money to win over Xuanzhen and Donglu to my Qing Dynasty. ”

"Wang Dou's every move, the feelings of fiction and reality, the number of outnumbered, and the momentum of courage and cowardice must be known!"

In July of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the east road of Xuanfu Town fell into an eerie silence.

Soon after Wang Dou's proclamation of "don't say anything unpredictable," the east road flowed like a river of blood in the blink of an eye, and some of the bandit villages that had been entrenched for a hundred years even disappeared, and the bandits that had been repeatedly encircled and suppressed by the officers and soldiers of various cities for many years disappeared.

In the future, when people go out, they will not encounter bandits again? With the combat power of the Shunxiang army, the Mongols outside the Saiwai must not have the courage to attack, and the east road is too peaceful?

Happiness comes too quickly, and it takes some time for people to get used to it. The officers and soldiers also fell silent, it is a good thing that there are no bandits, but Wang Dou has stabilized the place at once, whether it is good or bad for them, they need time to observe.

Only Ma Guokui openly expressed his approval to Wang Dou: "There is a general of Dingguo sitting on the East Road, the blessing of the people and the blessing of the court!" ”

In July, the summer grain on the East Road will begin to be collected and shipped again, and the government will urge the department strictly, and perhaps only Baoan Prefecture can afford to pay the full summer tax on the entire East Road. Taxes are getting heavier and heavier, coupled with the excessive greed of officials, in the past, at this time, it was the people who sold their sons and daughters, and their families were ruined.

But unlike before, now the people of the East Road have a new place to go, which is the new tunbao set up by General Dingguo. The Holy Lord exempted the new tunpu from paying taxes for three years, not to mention the joy of the new military households who were to be resettled, even the military households and civilian households in the original cities also fled on a large scale and secretly fled into the newly established tunpu.

For the original generals and gentry on the East Road, Wang Dou was a plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were no civil and military officials, feudal kings and eunuchs, and no one who did not occupy a large amount of land and mines, and did not open shops and shops. For them, it is fashionable to evade state taxes, both in the north and the south, and the world is as black as a crow.

It can be said that these people own ninety percent of the country's wealth, and in order to preserve their wealth, they have invented all kinds of theories. The ultimate is the theory of "hypocrisy" and "monarchy" of Gu Yanwu and others in the late Ming Dynasty. Although Wang Dou expressed his admiration for their anti-Qing righteous deeds, he did not dare to agree with their theoretical ideas.

Don't say that this is the germ of ancient Chinese democratic thought, their subtext is that the emperor stands aside, the world is run by scholars, and the scholar class develops to the top.

Yes, according to the system of the Ming Dynasty, it can develop to the point of "hypocrisy", and the emperor is only the spiritual leader. Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial power has been extremely weakened, and the Ming system has been little different from the "hypocrisy".

It's just that there is a problem here, the army and the government always have to spend, but the civil and military bureaucrats, scholars, warriors, and merchant classes, who own ninety percent of the country's wealth, are unwilling to pay taxes, what should they do? Of course, it can only be pressed on ordinary homesteaders.

With only 10% of the country's wealth to cope with the huge expenditure of the entire country, in Wang Dou's view, such a country will only perish faster.

Especially in the late Ming Dynasty, the rich were exempt from tax and the poor paid taxes, which can be described as a vicious circle. Originally, there were a large number of people in various places, and although there were many displaced people, whether it was Xuanfu Town or other military towns, prefectures and counties, there were always many tenants and military households who cultivated for the officers and gentry, and they could sit firmly on Diaoyutai.

However, as soon as Wang Dou Xintun Fort came out, the non-commissioned officers and tenants under the names of the squires had their own eyes and thoughts, and knew which place was more beneficial to them. Compared with the tired and tired life of renting crops that can only barely or even cannot provide food and clothing, the three-year tax exemption in Xintunpu will also divide the land into the future for them. ,

When Wang Dou set up forts one by one in the Acropolis, Huailai, and Yanqing, there were intermittent officers and gentry and tenant farmers from all over the country who fled to Neizhong. At first they were unimpressed, but as July approached, this mass exodus reached its peak. The officers and gentry were in a panic.

Even if you own a lot of land, if there is no one to cultivate it, what is the difference between it and wasteland?

Wang Dou's move ......

Jinghu Fort is the Baihe Fort of Yongning in later generations, located in the northwest of Yongning City 20 miles, north of Yin Mountain, east and west south three face the river, divided into 20 miles, there are 31 side tuns, 8 fire road piers.

Not far from the fort is the various departments of Outer Mongolia, if the enemy outside the fortress enters the east road, there are two feasible roads, which is quite important. Therefore, Jiajing built an earthen fort in the twenty-ninth year to defend it, and the first year of Chongqing was covered with bricks, fifty-three steps in Tuesday, three feet high, and the initial ethics were set up, and the garrison was changed.

At this time, the garrison of Jinghu Fort was Song Jiaxuan, and in his mansion in the fort, a large group of generals quietly gathered today, including Yanqing Prefecture garrison Chen Enzhong, Huailai garrison Huang Changyi, Thursday Goubao ethics Chen Qinluan, Heihanling Fort defense Ding Fangming, Liu Bin Fort defense Guo Cairong and others.

Everyone in the room was dull for a long time, and Huang Changyi, who was guarding Huailai, sighed: "I thought I wanted to break the wealth and be filial, but I didn't expect that General Dingguo would use such a strategy to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle." ”

Yanqing Prefecture Garrison Chen Enzhong's face was gloomy, and he said: "In the past two months, many tenants and military households under my name have fled, and I have seen the fields go down like this. In the past, you could still find some homeless people to cultivate, but now the homeless people who enter the East Road are staring at the various tunbao, and they are not willing to come to rent seeds at all. ”

Huang Changyi said with a bitter face: "Me too, how dare I rush into everywhere to take people when I watched them flee into the forts and eat the bear's heart and leopard's gall? It seems useless to occupy those fields. ”

"One more thing."

Song Jiaxuan, the garrison of Jinghu Fort, said in a sullen voice: "I heard the rumors, General Dingguo wants to approve the sergeants of each general's subordinates. Only one soldier is paid, and the old and weak are not counted. In the future, it will not work for the soldiers who occupy the army. ”

Huang Changyi was taken aback: "Song Shoubei, what you said is true?" ”

Song Jiaxuan said: "I heard the wind. However, it is not surprising to look at what Wang Dou did in Baoanzhou. ”

The old army in Baoan Prefecture has long been reorganized, and no general can have a private soldier. For the generals and officials of the East Road, the means they used to make money for hundreds of years were to embezzle military salaries, occupy tuntian, accept bribes and compensation, and occupy soldiers.

For the generals of the Ming Dynasty, it is common to risk the army's salary, there are 10,000 people on the military register, and the actual number may only be 2,000. The inflated salaries fell into their pockets, and they had to deduct the salaries of the 2,000 men, and many generals deliberately indulged the soldiers to flee in order to receive more salaries.

Not to mention the occupation of Tuntian, the increasing destruction of military tuns in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was the result of the wanton occupation of Tuntian by officers of all sizes. They became large local landowners, and the former military households became their tenants.

The whole body should be kept out of the grain.

Accepting bribes is even more common, and the promotion of a junior officer depends on the will of the superior officer, and in order to seek promotion, it is necessary to bribe the superior officer. The relevant price varies depending on the military rank. Soldiers' "buying" money is also a common income for officials. If a soldier pays some money, he can do nothing and go to other jobs in the name of it.

Needless to say, the generals built houses, managed the tuntian, and transported private goods were all done by the envoys. If you are in charge of any equipment warehouse, it is even more of a shortage of fertilizer that embezzles and utilizes.

If Wang Dou regulates the army, it means that all kinds of financial resources of the officials will be gone, and this is their lives.

Song Jiaxuan's expression was hideous and terrifying: "Not only that, but I also heard that General Dingguo wants to strictly inspect the border and prohibit the smuggling of goods outside the country, and at that time, it will ......"

At this time, even Chen Qinluan, the defender of Goubao on Thursday, Ding Fangming, the defender of Heihanling Fort, and Guo Cairong on the defense of Liu Binbao, were all moved.

Their castles were scattered all over the eastern roadside, and one of their great sources of wealth was to accept bribes from merchants, escort them out of the country, and reap a lot of benefits from them, and even participate in smuggling and selling themselves. If Wang Dou strictly inspects the border gates, smuggling is prohibited......

Yanqing Prefecture Garrison Chen Enzhong smiled sympathetically: "If it is really as Song Shoubei said, Wang Dou will do this, then countless people's financial routes will be cut off, does he still want to stay on the East Road?" Now in the territory, which officials, gentry, and merchants have not made some money by transporting goods outside the country? It's the ...... of many adults in the town."

He laughed: "I'll wait and watch what happens, and when Wang Dou is anxious in the future, I will add another fire......

When he said this, everyone in the audience immediately felt a lot more relieved, and they all laughed along.

Smuggling to the border passes can be said to be a malpractice of the collectives of the towns on the nine sides, and the higher and more powerful the generals of the towns, the more rampant the merchant groups under their command become. Smuggling goods, from which they get their hands on it, is something that almost most officials and generals do.

The same is true for many eunuchs guarding the town, Shen Ce, the governor of Xuanfu Town at the time, and Wang Kun, the eunuch of the town, both of them and their subordinates were heavily bribed by the "Northern Captives", "Where one person goes out, the rate is given five taels, and it is easy to escape without firing cannons", and Deng Xizhao, the eunuch who sat in Jizhou, was impeached for "receiving the gift of the enemy's camel and horse, communicating with the enemy, and losing the frontier." ”

On the East Road, Zhang Guowei, the former East Road staff general who is now promoted to deputy chief soldier, is the original head snake, many shops are opened by his family's children, and Song Jiaxuan and others are his henchmen. Wang Dou wanted to strictly inspect the border and prohibit private trade, but Zhang Guowei was the first to refuse.

There is also the Guwang Mansion in the town, and there are also a large number of field shops on the East Road.

Under the surging pressure and conspiracy, I don't know how Wang Dou will die in the future.

Chen Enzhong even said to Song Jiaxuan: "Song Shoubei is deeply dependent on Zhang Junmen, should he be active?" I heard that Guo Tongju was quite dissatisfied with Wang Dou's domineering......"

He laughed.

Song Jiaxuan also laughed: "I haven't been close to Zhang Junmen for a long time, so I should walk around well." ”
