On the 18th day of the first lunar month of the sixth year of the Yongli year, although this year's Lantern Festival was hit by war disasters in many places in Jinhua Prefecture, for the people of Jinhua Prefecture, it has been four years since the fall of the Jiang Shangshi in the first year of the regent of the country, and have been forced to keep the rat tail of money that only barbarians can hold, and wear Jiannu's clothes, which makes most people feel ashamed when sacrificing their ancestors.

This year, as the Ming army recovered Jinhua Prefecture, the people of Jinhua Prefecture cut off the tails of the money rats on their heads and put on the clothes and clothes of the Han family that had been hidden in their homes for many years. Even if they could not find the clothes and clothes of the Han family, they would buy cloth and find someone to do it. They always had to change their clothes and clothes for worshiping their ancestors during the Chinese New Year, so that the local cloth merchants made a lot of money.

The Lantern Festival lanterns had just fallen for a few hours, and it was just dawn. Chen Wen, the general of Jinhua, the general of the envoy, Dalan, and Sun Yu, appointed by the former governor of Zhejiang, issued a series of orders jointly issued by the group of messengers rode out from the city and rushed towards the various county governments and garrison sites of the Ming army in Jinhua Prefecture. The people who received the news were naturally the people in Jinhua Prefecture.

Chen Wen's first order was officially established from now on. All battalions and garrison troops under Chen Wen were changed to various departments under Jinhua Town. From now on, all flags and documents were raised no longer used the words Dalanshan, but were changed to Jinhua Town, except for the camp flags of Nantangying.

In fact, the preparations for this order have been carried out within the army for the past half month. The officers have already been in place, and the soldiers will be disbanded again with the New Year holiday. It is only officially announced now. Only when there is an expansion of the organization, the casualties and losses of the previous war, and other reasons, the troops that need to be replenished can only take some time to wait for the recruitment and training of the new recruits to be replenished.

At the same time, various departments within Jinhua Town were also established. The General Officer of Jinhua Town, headed by Chen Wen, the general officer of Jinhua, was the general manager of Jinhua Town, and the three higher-level departments: the General Law Department of Jinhua Town, the General Military Command of Jinhua Town, and the General Staff Department of Jinhua Town, as well as several small departments such as the Military Training Department, the Military Medical Department, the Military Equipment Department, and the Jinhua Town Martial Arts School.

The Military Law and the Military Control Commission have a foundation. Gu Shouli and Qi Xiufeng only need to mobilize personnel and make appropriate supplements. The system is ready-made, and even a few other small departments except the martial arts school have a certain staffing base. Although there are many missing staff members, they can only make supplements.

The General Staff Department needs Lou Jiye to start over. He has discussed with Chen Wen many times these days, and many systems have been established, including Chen Wen, a staff officer below Lou Jiye, who has also selected dozens of people from literate officers and recent enlisted soldiers. The first task they received after proper training was to survey and map.

As for the martial arts lecture school, Chen Wen plans to support it first with him and some officers with experience in related subjects. At least, the officers above the post of the commander can understand the military orders and understand the most basic tactical knowledge, that's all.

The second order was to establish the Jinhua Guard Commander Office to be responsible for the training of military farms and military households, among which the commander and the commander was responsible for the training; the commander was responsible for the training, and the commander in charge of the overall situation was directly responsible to Chen Wen.

Although the Ming army won the previous battles, the number of soldiers killed and injured was not very small. Some of the injured died after the battle due to excessive injuries or foreign objects not being taken out. Most of the wounded people returned to the team after recovering from the injury, while the remaining ones were mostly disabled and could not go on the battlefield.

In ancient army, if a disabled soldier is lucky and meets a kind-hearted general, he may be able to do some chores in the camp for the rest of his life; generally, he will leave it alone, and at most he will give some money and food to leave. If he is unlucky, he will not even waste medicinal materials for treatment, and he will be left alone or finish the work.

As a modern person, Chen Wen did not intend to learn the dross of the ancient Eastern and Western armies. The soldiers fought bravely on the battlefield, but unfortunately they were injured and disabled. The army had the obligation to support them.

Therefore, he planned to arrange these disabled soldiers to work in departments at all levels of the Jinhua Guard Command and Command Department to work with the officials seconded from the old camp, and take responsibility for the military farming and military household training. The others were distributed as land and land as the dead. The houses were built and properly placed. If no one in the family could farm, Jinhua Guard could also recruit tenants for them and collect tenant rent.

In this way, these military officers and military officials from the old camp can form a situation of mutual restraint, and temporarily reduce the possibility and degree of corruption.

However, no matter whether it is a military town or a garrison, there is no land, population, money and food, these cannot be carried out.

So, Chen Wen and Sun Yu jointly ordered the confiscation of all the local property of all the officers and fleeing Qing officials from the Biaoying in Jinhua Town, Ma Jinbao, and the fleeing Qing officials. At the same time, they occupied the unowned wasteland in the occupied areas of the Ming army and used as military use.

Ma Jinbao first went south from Boluo and participated in the Jinhua Massacre. He was appointed as the general in charge of the military affairs of the four governments of Jinqu and Qu, and later moved his capital to Jinhua. For five years, especially after moving from Quzhou to Jinhua, Ma Jinbao and Jinhua Town Biaoying seized people's wealth on the ground of Jinhua Prefecture, levying heavy taxes and occupying a large number of industries, which was full of complaints. Otherwise, how could the Ming army develop so rapidly?

Among the forced robbery of the people's wealth, a large number of them had been transported away during the escape to Quzhou. Even the families of the officers and soldiers who died in battle were afraid of the Ming army's revenge and flee with Yin. In fact, not many of them were left.

However, the Qing army was able to take away movable property such as money and antiques, but they could not take away real estate such as land, houses, shops, workshops, mines and other real estate, as well as those who forcibly invested in the industries of local merchants, and these were all cheaper Chen Wen.

It was not enough to rely solely on these to support the Ming army and officials of Jinhua Prefecture, so he had the idea of ​​occupying the unowned wasteland. Jinhua Prefecture was massacred a few years ago, and even in other places there were many massacres. In addition, Ma Jinbao and his subordinates did, there were a lot of wasteland in the entire Jinhua Prefecture, which was so large that the officials sent by the old camp to investigate could not be counted. It was very suitable to use it to raise soldiers.

However, when this plan came to Sun Yu, it was opposed because it was afraid of offending the local gentry and people too much. Chen Wen, who was also worried, decided to deal with the plan after reconsidering Sun Yu. However, the revised plan also made Sun Yu worried.

While announcing the confiscation of property and the occupation of wasteland, Chen Wen ordered the convening of local wealthy families to go to Fucheng to discuss the subscription of bonds and the return of some of the property seized by Ma Jinbao and his subordinates.

With the enemy around, Chen Wen had to make compromises to unite more gentry and people, but he did not intend to make the return matter a one-time deal. Otherwise, the purpose of uniting, winning over or even luring these gentry and people together with the Ming army would not be achieved.

The envoy has been sent, and a large number of gentry and civilians will arrive in the city soon. However, Chen Wen has occupied the land without a master. And if he occupies the land, he has to farm to harvest grain and other agricultural products, otherwise it will be meaningless to occupy it.

So, Chen Wen first repaid the pensions of the fallen soldiers and disabled soldiers. These people or their families had fought under Chen Wen's command and would naturally get the best land. It was also stipulated that if no one was farming at home, the local garrison could recruit tenants and collect tenant rent instead of them, and even the handling fee would not be paid.

In the second step, Chen Wen announced that he would grant ten acres of military land to each of his soldiers to resettle their families. If the land area is large in the family, it would definitely not be enough, so he also planned to establish some workshops and workshops to absorb the remaining labor force to ensure that the soldiers in the army had no worries. At the same time, Chen Wen announced that starting this year, military pay will be paid as usual, and military merit rewards will be changed to silver to land. The rewards will be completely converted from silver to military merit rewards.

The third step is to recruit soldiers in various villages and towns in Jinhua Prefecture by the Jinhua Guard. Those who meet the requirements can enter the recruit battalion to participate in training. Those with excellent training results can join the combat barracks and garrison troops in Jinhua Town to become combat soldiers. Others are included in the reserved military replenishment sequence, and 20 acres of military rented fields are awarded to farming training in their spare time. The recruitment orders are issued to supplement the combat soldiers and participate in combat.

The last step was the people who followed the Ming army from Tiantai Mountain to Jinhua. These people still live in the camps in Dongyang County, doing some work assigned by the old camp. Since Chen Wen brought them to increase the population and balance the local people's power, they need to solve their livelihoods. His initial plan was to convert them into military households and grant military rent land as if they were ready to replenish troops. When he was free to intervene in other operations, these people would be used.

Those who have constant property and business have perseverance. This is the theory that Mencius once promoted. In essence, the teaching of military merits is to try to tie soldiers to the land, and to inspire them to fight bravely with the land that the Chinese value most.

According to the system set by Chen Wen, the pension land is Yongye land, which belongs to it and does not require tax payment for twenty years; the military land is granted to the military, and there is no need to pay taxes. However, it is only used to temporarily resettle the families of soldiers, so it belongs to the military and is recovered when retired. In contrast, the land rewarded by military merit is Yongye land, and there is no need to pay taxes within twenty years. It is only after retirement. If there is a serious violation of military law such as defection, it will be recovered. As for military rent, it is naturally impossible to enjoy the treatment of war soldiers. It is inevitable to collect taxes. However, because they are obliged to bear military service, corvee labor will be exempted like war soldiers, military families, martyrs, and disabled soldiers.

The soldiers and their families in the army were Chen Wen's largest and most staunch supporters. Granting the occupied land to them can also increase cohesion while attracting more people to join the Ming army's camp. New entrants can enjoy the privilege of exempting corvee from labor, whether they become war soldiers or prepare for replenishment. This right comes from the garrison system itself, so Chen Wen can implement it legitimately.

The military households in the Ming Dynasty had to do a lot of things, such as farming, training, transportation, preparatory, police, posting, guarding, garrison, military weapons, etc., and the oppression of the military officers in the garrison and the narrow passage of upward channels made the military households flee continuously during the Ming Dynasty, and even those who stayed were completely reduced to serfs. Later, they were not allowed to implement the recruitment system to deal with foreign enemies.

Chen Wen used the system established in the name of the garrison. One soldier and the preparations for the army were soldiers, and the whole family was a military household. Military families did not have to work hard to support the regular soldiers in the court every day like the former military households. As long as their registered family members were enrolled in the camp and were trained in the village to wait for the recruitment, they could enjoy the treatment of exemption from corvee. As long as the children of their families who served in the army had completed military service according to regulations, the family could be transferred to the people after retirement, without the need to worry about serving in the army for generations.
