Chapter 35 General Flag

Of course, it is impossible for Bai Yuanjie to be promoted by a casual vocal saying "Bai Yuanjie has an order". In fact, in the past few months, Bai Yuanjie has been running for the military achievements of the battle east of Qingyuan City, and personally went to the Guangdong Commander and the General Office, 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 made contributions to the enemy.

Only when you are sure that you have made contributions rather than disobeying will you be able to get rewards further. When everything is settled, it is time for Chen Mu and others to hear that Bai Yuanjie was promoted to deputy Qianhu. After that, Bai Yuanjie took a boat to go up the Beijiang River and walked along the river along Shaozhou and other places, and he did a big thing.

Recruiting troops.

The Mantans, known as Man Liao, were recruited as the missing military households of his five hundred subordinates. For this reason, Bai Yuanjie recruited an army of more than 400 regular officials and more than 1,000 remaining officials and returned to Qingyuan.

"Qianhu, is this what you said to recruit some family soldiers?"

Following Bai Yuanjie's return, when Chen Mu stepped into the Qianhu House in Qingcheng, thousands of people in the village built houses and worked hard to build their houses. A man and a woman embroidered their faces and tattooed them. The Qianhu House was in the middle, and the dragon and snake flags were planted around them. These visitors were clearly barbarian soldiers of different customs and races. They climbed up the wall and looked up at the Beijiang River not far from the Qianhu House in Qingcheng, where hundreds of fishing boats were docked on the shore. It was the ancestral system that the Mantans had decided to use boats as their family since the time of Taizu.

More than 400 households and thousands of families were recruited by Bai Yuanjie as family soldiers and served as military households.

This kind of operation was fascinating to Chen Mu. Emperor Taizu did not say that the sacred households on the boat could not become military households, nor did he say that he could not recruit family soldiers. But even if the Bai family had money, he could not help but torture like this, right?

"Chen Erlang, what do you think Qingyuan fought with the Japanese pirates?" Bai Yuanjie did not respond to Chen Mu's teasing question, and gently looked at the Qianhu Station in Qingcheng with a solemn face: "The troops of the garrison are useless, Bai knows. But Bai doesn't know that they are useless so much! More than 3,000 military households were frightened by a hundred Japanese pirates and lived in the city and dared not fight. The soldiers led by the Hundred Houses in the Battle Station were only forty... Do you know how many of the five hundred households are under the command of Bai, the five hundred households, the garrison households are under the command of Qianhu? Two hundred and two hundred households. The military discipline is scattered and the morale is low. Such a military army is still my Ming Dynasty's army to protect the country?"

Chen Mu looked down at his feet, then looked at the sacred houses with tattoos that looked like dragons, and did not say anything. What could he say? Tell Bai Yuanjie that all the garrisons in the Ming Dynasty were like this, and some garrisons were even left with only a thousand households?

"It will be different in the future." Bai Yuanjie's young face was written with excitement, and she reached out to the Thousand Houses of Qingcheng, pointing to the busy Dan people: "The natives said that Dan people used boats as their houses to live on the sea, because they did not intermarry because of their humble origins. Dan people's tattoos on their own pictures, and they called themselves dragons and seeking to live in the sea, so people called them Mantan. But look at these Dan people, their arms are thick, their hips are big, their waists are wide, and their waists are hard. In Bai's opinion, they are the best military officers. From today on, the five hundred households in Qingcheng will be called Manliao Camp!"

Under Bai Yuanjie's ambition, Chen Mu carefully observed the busy swimmers and knew that what Bai Yuanjie said was true. In the past, people said that swimmers had the best figure, with wide shoulders, long and inverted triangles, which was shaped by a lot of water exercise and water pressure. The swimmers' figure was not as good-looking as that, but more powerful. Every swimmer man had a figure like a door panel, wide and strong. Although their height might not be as burly as Shao Tingda, no one could deny that swimmers were indeed excellent soldiers.

Chen Mu could find the reason from another perspective. These traitors are suffering from low-courts and rarely land on the shore. They live a hard life but are much better than military households. Their recipes are not short of fish, and they have fine protein to supplement nutrition. They can take boats for dozens of miles, whether they are swimming, fishing or paddles, they can give them huge amount of exercise.

So they are strong and powerful.

Bai Yuanjie originally wanted to invite Chen Mu to drink in the Bai family house in Fenghuang Street, Qingyuan City, but the mourning of the late emperor had not yet been eliminated, and drinking and having fun was obviously inappropriate, so he simply led a few personal soldiers to walk along the official road and chatted, "Now the military office is civil and military, and the military officers of the military office are even more so. The three thousand flag troops in Qingyuan are probably only hundreds of. Now Bai recruits the Man Liao camp and will reorganize the army and train the land in the future. Since you, Chen Erlang, have to take more of your banner for my household."

As he said that, Bai Yuanjie turned his head, "Your general flag will cultivate fifty hectares of fields."

Chen Mu nodded naturally, but his mind turned around before he widened his eyes and said in surprise: "Fifty Qings?!"

Fifty hectares are five thousand acres of land.

The Ming Dynasty military households had 50 acres of military land, which was the ancestral system. The ancestral system was the field of each military household at the beginning, but over the past hundred years, the ancestral system could not resist the destruction of years. Today, most of the military fields are privately owned by officers, and the harvest belongs to the military households. Among them, the 50 hectares of land, regardless of the fat and poor fields, mean that Chen Mu and his general banner had to cultivate the fields of a hundred households. Isn’t this to exhaust him?

"You don't have to open your eyes so wide. When Bai was appointed as a hundred households in the past, the hundred households had cultivated fifty hectares of land, and the flag army was only more than sixty households; if you have a superior like Bai, you should be content. You may be able to find the small flag under your command, but you will never find the full flag under your command. You are the first one." Bai Yuanjie raised her hand and pointed at Chen Mu, then she breathed a deep and slow breath and said, "In the past, the military households of the hundred households, except for those who died in the battle, participated in the Qingyuan City attack on the Japanese battle, 54, and 213 remained under your command."

Chen Mu felt relieved when he heard this. If he really wanted him to lead more than 20 households to cultivate 5,000 acres of land, he would not be able to do this, but if he could fill the flag army, he could try it.

He could detect Bai Yuanjie's changes. Obviously, disobeying orders and fighting had a great impact on Bai Yuanjie for a while. Otherwise, he would not have carried out reforms under his subordinates as he had just been promoted to deputy Qianhou, and he had made drastic moves under the Qingyuanwei's own troops. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but worry. Any local forces are in a mixed manner. It is easy for a small flag to fully control ten households under his command, but a deputy Qianhou can fully control five hundred households under his command?

This is bullshit!

Even if Qi Jiguang had no strong support from Hu Zongxian in his early years, could he recruit and train the brave and combat-friendly Qi family army?

What's more, Bai Yuanjie from Qingyuanwei!

"Those military households who dare not fight have been registered by Bai. Whether they are sent to recruit as servants or recruit soldiers. Bai is not as greedy as the garrison in Guangdong, and only wants to train troops to protect the land of Lingnan. According to convention, you can get three hectares of harvest from the military fields as your private money. Chen Erlang - do you think about where are the fifty hectares of military fields?"

Where is Juntian? Can you still choose it yourself?

Chen Mu said without thinking: "The north bank of the north river, the nearest village of Anyuan Post."

But he didn't expect that Bai Yuanjie was furious when she heard this, looked at him with contempt and scolded him: "Is it addicted to food and living for free?"

Note: At that time, he served as the garrison in Guangdong. Later, when he was in the Wanli aid to Korea, the commander of the Ming army, Chen Lin, was in the Battle of Luliang.
