In the eyes of discerning people, Zhao Han has already rebelled.
Killing a few squires can only be regarded as banditry; not paying land taxes and Liao's salary can only be regarded as resistance to taxes.
Changing a town to a village is really a rebellion!
Towns and villages in the Ming Dynasty were just names of settlements and had no administrative significance.
Strictly speaking, only in the town and its surrounding areas, the thirty or so households counted as Huangjia Town, and there are only two to three hundred people at full count. Therefore, Huangjia Town is just a small town.
In other places, calculated according to the Lijia system, there are about 30 li and more than 300 Jia (there are not so many government reports, because there are a large number of hidden household registrations). Calculated according to the map system of the capital, there are 2 capitals and 24 maps in total.
Zhao Han directly changed the administrative divisions of the imperial court, abolished the lijia system and the capital map system, and set the territory in his hand as Wuxing Town, with a central village and three natural villages under it.
Just from this point of view, Zhao Han is the number one villain of Ming Dynasty!
?The peasant armies in southern Jiangxi and western Fujian joined forces and confronted the government for several years. The Shaanxi and Shanxi peasant armies have already invaded Beizhili and are about to flee to Sichuan and Henan.
The above-mentioned insurgents made such a big commotion, and no one has changed the administrative division.
Zhao Han has shown essential differences from his rebel counterparts in various provinces, and it can be regarded as a mudslide in the peasant army.
Ordinary farmers dispersed one after another, leaving only more than 500 young and strong.
"Jiang Dashan!" Zhao Han shouted.
"exist!"
Jiang Dashan came out.
Zhao Han said: "I appoint you as the head of Wuxing Village."
Jiang Dashan thanked him with great joy. Wuxing Village belongs to the central village and is the most important of the four villages.
"Huang Yao, I appoint you as the head of Shanghuang Village."
"Huang Shun, I appoint you as the head of Xiahuang Village."
"Li Zheng, I appoint you as the head of Lijia Village."
The first batch of followers, their land allocation is only a little more than other farmers. The official position is their compensation, and the village chief can receive two buckets of Lumi every month!
(According to the "Research on Grain Yield per Mu in the Past Dynasties of China", one stone is about 153.5 Mingjin, and two buckets of rice is 30 Mingjin. There is also a saying that one stone is 120 Jin, which may be calculated with a small bucket.)
In addition, due to the shortage of talents, these four people also hold military positions.
A team of five people, an even team of ten people, a small team of fifty people, and a large team of one hundred people.
Zhang Tieniu, Jiang Dashan, Huang Yao, Huang Shun, and Li Zheng were all appointed captains.
Among them, Zhang Tieniu led more than a hundred people and was classified as a pacesetter under Zhao Han's direct management.
From the mid-Jiajing period to the early years of Chongzhen, the main force of the Ming army was actually the pacesetters of the provinces, not the servants of the generals.
The pacesetter system was born out of the battalion system and was first created by the famous minister Weng Wanda.
That is, the governor, governor, commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief, and generals. Because the army is unusable, they choose pacesetters to train and command in person, which is not inconsistent with the guard system and battalion system. The logistics of the pacesetters are also personally in charge of by these officers. The number of pacesetters ranges from a few hundred to tens of thousands.
Weng Wanda has commanded tens of thousands of pacesetters. As a civil servant, his military strength is superior to the Nine Frontiers.
Even in many southern provinces, the governor (governor) also has a quota for pacesetters.
It's very interesting, looking at the whole country, only the Jiangxi governor and the general soldier are not qualified to recruit pacesetters, and Scorpion Baba is the only one This is also Zhao Han's advantage.
Huguang next door is also weak. The governor of Huguang and the chief soldier are not allowed to recruit pacesetters, but the governor of Xunyang has a small quota of pacesetters.
At the end of the second year of Chongzhen, the troops of various provinces entered Beijing to serve the king, and the main force was the pacesetters from all over the country.
They are the last essence of the Ming army, and most of them were directly tossed to collapse, and the next battle can only rely on the servants to do their best.
Of course, the pacesetter system has not completely collapsed.
Historically, Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang was captured by Sun Chuanting's pacesetters.
The first two batches who followed Zhao Han in the uprising were all appointed to military positions, and they all received extra compensation.
? Zhao Han announced: "Tuanyong has no food and salary to pay, but he will take care of the food during training, and there will be starting fees and travel expenses during the war!"
Because he was afraid of being encircled and suppressed by the government, Zhao Han stopped doing ideological work for the time being and had to concentrate on military training.
"Above the captain, bachelors stand up!" Zhao Han said.
Immediately, twelve people stood up, including Jiang Dashan, Li Zheng, Huang Yao, and Huang Shun. Sure enough, they dared to make trouble without concern.
Zhao Han asked: "Do you want to ask for a wife?"
"think!"
Respond sparsely.
? Zhao Han asked: "Do you want to??Let's talk again. "
The "officers" who did not get wives were given two buckets of food as compensation, and promised to find wives for them in the future.
Other officers who were not bachelors also received a bucket of food each.
Ordinary soldiers, each receive half a bucket of food, which is considered their enlistment fee.
After the wives and food were sent out, the miscellaneous soldiers immediately became energetic and no longer thought about deserting to go home
Inside the Huang's Ancestral Hall.
Pang Chunlai sat cross-legged on the ground with his sword in his hand. In front of him were two tutors, one from Huang's private school and the other from Li's private school.
"You can also see that Mr. Zhao is going to rebel," Pang Chunlai threatened, "You can run away, or you can report to the officials. But if you dare to leave this place, your whole family will die and your land will be confiscated. From now on, the Huang Family Ancestral Hall will be changed to Wuxing Private School, so you can follow me to teach."
The two school teachers showed bitter expressions, and neither dared to say no.
"Jiangxi deserves to be a place where the literary style is at its peak," Pang Chunlai said with emotion. "Many villages and towns in Xuanhua Township are very remote. There is actually a champion, a Tanhua, and more than a dozen Jinshi. It is unimaginable."
The two tutors still dare not speak.
The No. 1 scholar in Pang Chunlai's mouth came from the mountains, that is, the place where Fei Yinggong is now a bandit.
It is precisely because of the emergence of champions, Tanhua, and many scholars that these rural land mergers have intensified, and there are not many self-cultivating farmers. Either big landlords or small landlords who were separated, ordinary farmers were all reduced to tenants!
In Huangjia Town and surrounding villages, Sanhuang and Li's family control 90% of the arable land, and their clansmen own the remaining 10%.
The total population is a little over 4,000, and the total number of young and strong male servants in their four families exceeds 150, who can be converted into thugs at any time!
This is nothing. According to historical records, it is not uncommon for a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River in the late Ming Dynasty to own millions of acres of land. In that kind of place, you can't find any owner farmers with different surnames. They are all fucking landlords and tenants.
Like tumors one by one, inexhaustible, dragging down Daming alive.
