Great Eunuch of the Ming Dynasty

Wang Zhen once sent someone to investigate this scholar named Fan Jin. After learning about his past, he did not expect this guy to be a legend in his previous life. Although his reputation is not very good, he is still a celebrity after all.

Fan Jin did not expect that he would be entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Wang Zhen even at his age. Thanks in his heart, he became more loyal to Wang Zhen and was full of anticipation for the next task. He took out the A scroll, after pulling his hands apart, read in his mouth: "The land of Fusang is under the rule of the Chrysanthemum Kingdom. There are separatist regimes and wars, monsters cannibalize people, and the people are in dire straits. Fortunately, my Ming Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven, and I can't bear to Fusang The people in Fusang were oppressed, so they sent an expeditionary army to Fusang to let the people in Fusang know the power of heaven, and push everything in Fusang back to the beginning."

The group of people below trembled when they heard this, and they didn't know what to do.

"As the saying goes, if you don't break, you can't build. Only after breaking and building, the people in Fusang can live a good life. Therefore, Wang Zhen, the governor of Nine Frontiers in the Ming Dynasty and the eunuch guarding Dongchang, formulated the plan for Fusang. It can develop just right, and I hope that everyone can cooperate seriously. Once there is a phenomenon of non-cooperation, it will hinder the progress of Fusang Land, and it will be a sinner, and there will be no mercy!" Fan Jin's goatee followed the incomparably majestic There was a certain grandeur in the voice, which made Wang Zhen on the side subconsciously look sideways.

Feeling the awe-inspiring righteousness emanating from this thin old man, the group of people below were a little confused. Only General Ashikaga Momotaro, the lord of Xiakuwa Castle, knew what to say about this matter. Sir, if you can tell us the content, we can cooperate to carry it out!"

Fan Jin nodded and continued to read: "Article [-] of the plan for Fusang Land is to set up Xiawa City Yamen, establish a county government administration system according to the scale of Xiawa City, set up county magistrates, county magistrates, and county lieutenants. They are all appointed by our expeditionary army of the Ming Dynasty. The county magistrate is a Confucian scholar of our expeditionary army, the county magistrate is the treasurer of the Chamber of Commerce in Xiawa City in the Ming Dynasty, and the county lieutenant is a graduate of the martial arts academy of the Ming Dynasty. This first rule , who of you agree? Who opposes?"

The group of people below looked at each other with dissatisfaction in their eyes. After all, these three important positions had nothing to do with them, but seeing that General Ashikaga Momotaro, the lord of Xiawa City, did not speak, they all nodded immediately. Shouted: "We all agree with the first item of the Fusang Land project plan."

General Ashikaga Momotaro, the city lord of Xiakuo City, was very upset when he saw that there was nothing of his own here. He thought that the county magistrate of Xiakuo City belonged to him. The three most important positions had nothing to do with him, but he didn't dare to say so. He could only hope that the elders and important ministers in Xiawa City would object, and then he would be sloppy in it, and then fish in troubled waters to get benefits. Who would have thought? These people actually agreed to this one, so General Ashikaga Momotaro wanted to spit out a mouthful of old blood.

But he was scheming, and shouted excitedly on his face: "The old man also agrees with this decision. Only by setting up a county government like the Ming Dynasty can we better manage Xiawa City!"

Chapter 567 Fan Jin

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhen nodded in satisfaction and said, "Continue reading!"

Fan Jin immediately opened his mouth and said: "All the land in the territory of Xiawa City will be confiscated, and then divided according to the population. If you want more land, you can pay money to the county government, and the county government will issue a land lease document. No one can stop it." In this law, all ordinary people need to be registered and issued ID cards, and only ordinary people with ID cards will enjoy the right to share the land and be protected by the county government."

"what?"

"What is this for?"

"This is to ask us to hand over all the land in our hands!" When the group of people below heard this, they immediately exploded. This is to scrape flesh from them alive, whether it is in the Ming Dynasty or Fusang The importance of the land is self-evident. In the minds of these big landlords, only the land is fundamental. Once the land is ruthlessly collected by Wang Zhen, no one will be willing, let alone all the people If their identities are registered, what about their servants?If it is registered, there will be land distribution, but if it is not registered, there will be no land. Doesn't this let Wang Zhen know how many people there are in their house?

In this way, neither the servants nor the hidden power can continue to hide it. After all, only by registering and receiving an ID card can the land be distributed, so these gentry clamored, even if the person who issued the order was Wang Zhen.

Seeing the furious patriarchs and elders of the big families, General Ashikaga Momotaro, the lord of Xiawa Castle, smiled cryptically. He wanted to see how Wang Zhen would solve this matter. Ladies and gentlemen, even he, the city lord of Xiawa City, has to step down, let alone Wang Zhen who urgently needs to stabilize the situation in Xiawa City.Once the situation gets out of control at that time, General Momotaro Ashikaga believes that he can play a regulating role in it and fight for more right to speak for himself.

However, the situation did not seem to develop as General Ashikaga Momotaro imagined, and Fan Jin continued: "Every citizen in Xiakuo City has to go to the county government to obtain an identity certificate, and they will be given a piece of land. All taxes other than the land tax will be exempted, and all labor will be exempted. Even if there are projects that need to be done, the county government will pay wages. This decision has been informed, so I will ask you next, who agrees? Who opposes?"

The plain and righteous question stunned the agitated patriarchs below. Although the tax was exempted, after all, the large piece of land in their hands had to be handed over to the county government, which they couldn't do. Those who allowed it, suddenly shouted: "This matter is unreasonable, please think twice before acting!"

"Who agrees? Who objects?" Wang Zhen narrowed his eyes and asked coldly.

"I object!" The patriarch of a big family with thousands of acres of fertile land stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Master, please think again, these lands are all accumulated by our ancestors little by little from the first one mu of land." ah!"

"Bang!" The shot of the killing rifle rang out, and a blood hole appeared on the forehead of the Patriarch.

"Plop!" The body fell to the ground, bleeding all over the floor.

The remaining patriarchs of the big families realized that they and others had no right to bargain. They all looked at Wang Zhen in fear, knowing that the young man sitting on the chair could decide their life and death, right? They can be provocative.

"Find the place where this family is located, and confiscate it! Everyone in this guy's family will be reduced to slaves, build bridges and pave roads, collect medicines and mines! Only after serving five years in prison can he become a civilian." Wang Zhen said casually.

"Follow the order of the governor!" Feng Nailuo, the head of the Dongchang stall, agreed, and went down to search the house.

The people below looked at Feng Naluo who was rushing to search the house, they were all at war with each other, they didn't know how to make a choice, they felt sorry for their wealth, and felt that their own life was more important.

"This old man asks for the last time, who agrees to this decision? Who opposes it?" Fan Jin asked in a deep voice.

This time, the patriarchs of the big families below were all honest, lowered their heads and said: "We are willing to follow the arrangement of the Governor!"

"Hahaha! Good! In this case, Ben Du is telling you the truth, as long as you hang out with Ben Du, it will be beneficial. You must not only look at the immediate benefits. Later, you will know that Ben Du is not so ruthless and indifferent It's so unreasonable." Wang Zhen laughed loudly.

The people below looked at each other, and found doubts in each other's eyes. It seemed that everyone didn't know what was going on, and they all looked at Wang Zhen eagerly.

Wang Zhen ignored them, but said to Fan Jin, "Keep reading!"

Fan Jin nodded and continued to read: "After all taxes are abolished in Xiawa City, only land tax is levied, but commercial tax cannot be exempted. Commercial tax is charged at the rate of [-] taxes. For factories and workshops, one year of commercial tax can be exempted to encourage business and construction of workshops. And if there are overseas traders, they can deliberately hire the frigates of the Ming Dynasty Navy to guard them, and they can also hire the reserve navy soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to guard the merchant ships. , you can even lease armed merchant ships for trade, but the sailors and captains must accompany you, and you are not allowed to arrange replacements with your own people. If you plan to do business, the Governor can teach you some business skills and teach you a craft. In that case, you Not only can you make up for the loss on the land, but you can even make a fortune and become a local tyrant."

"Wow!" The heads and elders of the big families below all muttered excitedly. Since the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty came to Xiawa City, all the big and small families in Xiawa City have joined in the business, and from it After making a lot of profits, they realized that the wealth they obtained from the trade and business of the Ming Dynasty had already exceeded the value of the land. They immediately understood that the Patriarch who jumped out and clamored just now died in vain. And death is meaningless at all, because the owner's business is the best among them. In fact, the land is already dispensable to him. More benefits, which made the remaining Patriarchs feel lucky that they were not impulsive, otherwise they would definitely die and regret it.

"I thank the Governor for giving us a chance to make a fortune. I am willing to do business, I am willing to pay commercial taxes, and I am willing to open factories and workshops. I also ask the Lord to teach us the production process." These demands made Wang Zhen's heart was full of joy, these people were all his future money-making machines.

Chapter 568 The Servant Army

Chapter 568 The Servant Army

"With regard to the army of Xiakuo City, the Lord Governor has made other arrangements. The city lord's mansion of Xiakuo City was changed to a county government office, so the lord of Xiakuo City, General Ashikaga Momotaro, no longer served as the city lord of Xiakuo City. The important officials no longer hold important positions, and everything is run by the Xiawacheng County Government, and I ask General Ashikaga Momotaro to know, now I would like to ask everyone, who agrees? Who opposes?" Fan Jin looked at General Ashikaga Momotaro with piercing eyes And the elders and ministers behind him, with a sense of righteousness in their eyes.

The family elders and important ministers of Xiawa City have already obtained what they want before, and the purpose of serving as the family elders and important ministers of Xiawa City is just to let themselves take advantage of it. Now that their goals have been achieved, there is no It is necessary to hold on to these irrelevant positions, and these positions are about to be eliminated.

All the elders and important ministers of Xiawa City shouted excitedly: "We are willing to obey the arrangement of the Governor!"

Only General Ashikaga Momotaro, the city lord of Xiakuo City, turned very ugly. After all, he is the master of Xiakuo City. Now that he has been abandoned by his subordinates, Wang Zhen even gave his position as city lord to him. If you are deprived, what can you do with your own glory and wealth?But if you object, your own strength is not enough to shake Wang Zhen and the others, so you can only say aggrievedly: "The old man is willing to give up the position of the city lord of Xiawa City."

Wang Zhen smiled in satisfaction, and said, "Don't worry, General Ashikaga Momotaro, Hondo is not a stingy person, as long as General Ashikaga Momotaro sincerely follows Hondo, then Hondo will not treat you badly. Keep reading!"

Fan Jin nodded and continued to read: "Since the army in Xiakuo City is not easy to arrange, and after disbanding, I am afraid that these soldiers will disturb the law and order of Xiakuo City, so the governor plans to establish a servant army system in Xiakua City."

"The servant army system? May I ask what is the servant army system?" General Momotaro Ashikaga asked curiously as if he had discovered something.

"The servant army system is based on the original army of Xiawa Castle. General Momotaro Ashikaga serves as the commander of the servant army. Every time he attacks a city in the future, the army of that city will belong to the servant army. Those who perform well Servants can consider joining the Xuanwu Guard's auxiliary soldiers, and those who perform well among the auxiliary soldiers can be considered to become an excellent Xuanwu Guard fighter." Fan Jin said.

General Momotaro Ashikaga did not expect such a big pie to fall on his head. Although there are not many troops in Xiakuocheng now, if they occupy the future city and incorporate those troops, wouldn't the army under him be Can it reach tens of thousands?Thinking of this, General Momotaro Ashikaga shouted loudly: "This old man is willing to be the commander of the servant army, old man, no! I thank the Lord for your kindness!" As he spoke, he kowtowed vigorously to Wang Zhen a few times, It's over when the straight forehead turns blue.

Regarding the establishment of the servant army, Wang Zhen has been thinking about it for a long time. After all, the number of expeditionary troops in his hands is still too small. Without the support of the power of the Ming Dynasty, there is no way to establish a servant army, and It is also unrealistic to send a large army from the Ming Dynasty to guard the land of Fusang. After all, the land of Fusang is a quagmire, and the Ming Dynasty cannot be plunged into it too deeply. Moreover, if there are too many forces from the Ming Dynasty, Wang Zhen is also worried. I can't completely control it. After all, no one dares to defy me on the surface, but if I make small moves secretly, I really can't prevent it.

The servant army had a good example in the previous dynasty. After the former Yuan captured the Xixia Kingdom, it changed the army of the Xixia Kingdom into the servant army, and commanded it very powerfully. Later, it incorporated the army of the Dajin Kingdom As a servant army, it added a lot of combat power to Qianyuan.

But later, because there were too many servants in Qianyuan, Qianyuan's own elite troops lost their combat effectiveness and all relied on the servants, which led to the defeat of several expeditions to the land of Fusang, otherwise it would be considered the influence of kamikaze , It will not delay the combat effectiveness of the expeditionary force.

Longer than the previous Yuan Dynasty was the servant army of the Tang Dynasty. The servant army at that time was called the "Fan Army", which was a servant army composed of ethnic minorities around the Tang Dynasty.The "Fan Army" composed of these ethnic minorities is mostly ethnic minorities in the conquered areas or Hu people who voluntarily surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, such as Turkic people or Hu people from the Western Regions.After the Tang government subdued these foreign non-staff personnel, politically awarded the leaders of the Fan army high-ranking officials and rich salary, and then the regular army of the Tang Dynasty led these Fan armies to launch predatory wars abroad, and captured cities and lands with great wealth.

And Gao Xianzhi's attack on Shi Guo and letting the coalition troops plunder wealth is a microcosm of the many armies of the Tang Dynasty.By playing the role of "leading brother", Datang led the Hu people's army to launch a looting war. A group of high-quality cannon fodder took the lead, and it was impossible not to save military expenses.

For temporary emergency, Wang Zhen can only activate the servant army system, but in order to prevent the servant army from becoming an independent circle, he will let go of some policies. If the servant army performs well, it can be promoted to Xuanwuwei auxiliary soldiers. Then you can advance to become a Xuanwuwei soldier, which ensures the mobility of outstanding fighters in the servant army. Then, as the commander of the servant army, General Momotaro Ashikaga has no choice but to make some small moves.

"Continue to read the following." Seeing that these people had things to do, Wang Zhen asked Fan Jin to continue reading the following.

"The land of Fusang is full of ghosts and ghosts. People in Fusang usually believe in wild gods and hairy gods. None of them can protect the people of Fusang. Therefore, Taoist priests from the Ming Dynasty will build Taoist temples in Xiawa City and the following cities. , to enshrine nine thousand years old, nine thousand years old is a god of merit, once you believe in nine thousand years old, your home will be safe and your life will increase. This example must be completed. The county government will send commissioners to check every house after a month. If anyone is dishonest, they will cancel their identity certificates in Xiawa City and be reduced to slaves to dig mines and build roads. Please be your subordinates. The head of the big family in Wacheng can play a good leading role." Fan Jin said coldly.

As for the matter of evangelism, it is the most important thing for Wang Zhen. After all, this is a major event related to her own future growth. In order to change the thinking of the Fusang people, it can only be carried out forcibly.

"We are willing to enshrine Nine Thousand Years! We are willing to create a golden body for Nine Thousand Years! We are willing to mobilize family members to convert to Nine Thousand Years!" All the patriarchs and elders of the big family who have been promised benefits shouted loudly road.

Half a month after Wang Zhen's Xuanwuwei army occupied Xiawa City, Xiawa City has already begun to change drastically.
