Chapter 514 513 The three armies arrived

"With General Yu being in charge, Dongweng should be worry-free."

The master obviously admired Yu Dayou and said sincerely at this time.

Tan Lun waved his hand and smiled and didn't say anything.

From his heart, of course, Qi Jiguang was the best to be transferred to Fujian for battle, and who made him and Qi Jiguang more familiar with him?

When he was the prefect of Zhejiang, Yu Dayou was already the general of Zhejiang, while Qi Jiguang was a guerrilla officer, and he took his troops to fight fires everywhere in Zhejiang.

In fact, one of the big reasons for Tan Lun's training in the army was also because Qi Jiguang proposed it when he was talking to Qi Jiguang.

Each prefecture and county trains an elite force to defend his hometown. When encountering a small group of Japanese pirates, he takes the initiative to attack. When encountering a large group of Japanese pirates, he seizes the city and waits for the court to rescue him.

Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang also chatted about the methods of training, so the two of them had similar methods from the selection of soldiers to the training.

However, Qi Jiguang's proposal has not been promoted in other prefectures and counties in Zhejiang.

Because the soldiers trained in this way can only be local tyrants, and the local government pays for their own money. At most, they can get some rewards from Governor Hu Zongxian and Governor Hu.

"Because Lin Zhaoen failed the provincial examination, he abandoned the subject and devoted himself to the study of mind, body, nature and life.

"Dongweng, this time I went south, would you bring Lord Yi Daotan with me?"

Stimulated by the news of the capture of Xinghua Prefecture City, Japanese pirates from all over the country have been rampant everywhere in recent times, so how could Zhang Nie dare to send troops to Liu Xian?

"I heard that there is a scholar Lin Zhaoen burying the body in Xinghua City?"

However, since Zhu Yuanzhang, the court's constraints on officials have gradually declined, and corruption has become a trend from top to bottom.

The leaders of the Red Turban Uprising, Han Shantong, Liu Futong, Xu Shouhui, Zou Pusheng and others were all White Lotus scholars. They aroused the masses with the prophecy of the birth of the Ming King and the birth of Maitreya, and had a great influence.

When the White Lotus Sect was first founded, it was officially banned. Mao Ziyuan was exiled to Jiangzhou, but it was spread because of its simple doctrine and simple practice.

"What are your concerns, but it's okay."

Therefore, although Fuzhou officials have opinions, they only temporarily borrowed Fuzhou territory and did not care about Xinghua Prefecture, so naturally they didn't say much.

The master agreed and left quickly.

To the late Southern Song Dynasty, although it was still regarded as a "demon party" by some local governments and Buddhist monks who regarded themselves as orthodox, it has been taught everywhere, and even spread to the north under the rule of Mongolia.

After contacting Hu Shouren, while waiting, the master found Tan Lun and discussed.

The master told Tan Lun about what he had found out about Lin Zhaoen.

When Tan Lun arrived for the first time, he naturally would not take on such a thankless thing for himself.

Local officials naturally raised miscellaneous taxes and maintained the operation of the yamen, and the rest were all their own.

The rewards given by the imperial court are actually a drop in the bucket for many local heroes.

Logically speaking, Xinghua Prefecture City has been recovered for more than a month, and Yi Daotan, as the new governor, should have performed his duties long ago and arrived at Xinghua Prefecture City to handle subsequent matters.

During the Hongwu and Yongle periods, armed riots of the White Lotus Cultists occurred in Sichuan, Hubei, Jiangxi and other places many times, and some even claimed to be emperors, but were all suppressed.

If you pay less money, no one is willing to come. If you pay too much money, it is not nice to say that it is the money taken out of the local officials' wallet.

After a long time, I realized something and thought that Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism "although the teachings are three, the teachings are one", so I founded the "Three-Treasure Integration" school, and now I have been proclaiming myself as the leader of the Three-Treasures."

It is also because the White Lotus Sect had already begun to appear with pseudonyms at this time and wandered between cities, villages and towns, so the government was very sensitive to the emergence of new sects, especially those involving Buddhism.

In the first year of Zhida, the court avoided the White Lotus Cult's power and ordered bans. Therefore, when social contradictions in the late Yuan Dynasty intensified, some White Lotus Cult organizations became the first to fight against the Yuan Dynasty.

Although it is impossible to open a yamen and hall in Xinghua Prefecture City, Yi Daotan did not just stay in Fuzhou, but temporarily lived in Fuzhou and issued various official documents to Xinghua Prefecture to attract and resettle households.

However, in the Fuzhou officialdom, everyone knew that Lord Yi had gone to Xinghua Prefecture early, but as soon as he entered Xinghua under the escort of his servants, he quickly withdrew from the city.

However, even if I entered Xinghua City for such a short time, I didn’t dare to enter the city again, and I could also imagine the tragic situation in Xinghua City at that time.

In the Ming Dynasty, local officials were very nervous about religion.

It was not attacked by Japanese pirates, but was smelled by the tragic and stench of Xinghua Prefecture.

If you have strong armed suppression, you are not afraid of civil unrest, and you can collect taxes and lose everything.

During this time, there were many names of the White Lotus Sect, including Jin Chan, Wuwei, Longhua, Wukong, Huanyuan, Yuandun, Hongyang, Maitreya, Jingkong, Dacheng, Sanyang, Hunyuan, Yinxiang, Luodao and other dozens of them, and some of them were named.

After a long period of circulating, the organization and doctrines of the White Lotus Sect in the Yuan Dynasty changed, with slackening precepts and numerous sects.

Thousands of Zhejiang troops arrived, and another large amount of money and grain supply was provided. He had to find a way to find these."

Seeing that under the rule, Yi Daotan was also a wonderful person, so he actually ran back to Fuzhou.

If Tan Lun handed over the errands raised by military rations to the Fujian Provincial Administration and the Du Department, although they would do it, it would be hard to say how the money and grain were deposited in the end. This is an offending thing.

Although the Japanese pirates were in trouble, only a few officials who were willing to throw money in it were Tan Lun and others.

This is not something that is said in vain.

On the battlefield, the stronger the natural military strength, the greater the contribution after the war.

In front of Tan Lun's tent, Liu Xian introduced the current situation of the Japanese pirates in Xinghua and the current situation of the Ming army to Tan Lun.

In fact, for any official, it is not a good sign that he or she has to do a cleaning job when taking up a new job, and he or she is unwilling to do it.

Yi Daotan was born in the seventh year of Zhengde. His courtesy name was Jinming and his pseudonym Donggao. He was from Baling County, Yuezhou Prefecture, Huguang.

Of course, these things are usually calculated by the master, so the officials don’t have to worry about them.

Even though they had just encountered a military disaster and could not bear to say anything, the court's relief was relief, and they would be exempted from money, grain, taxes and labor in the future. At this time, the court sent a large army to suppress the Japanese, and the money and food still had to be distributed to the local area.

However, for this reason, Zhu Yuanzhang was very afraid of the huge energy of the White Lotus Sect, so the imperial court strictly prohibited the spread of the White Lotus Sect in the early Ming Dynasty.

Tan Lun was not worried that Yidaotan would not be able to raise the food and grass needed. In fact, although Xinghua Prefecture City was in decline, there were still large gentry and large households in the surrounding villages and towns around Xinghua.

The master replied immediately.

"Then use the submission of the Governor's Office to ask Yi Daotan to go to Xinghua Prefecture City to work immediately, and he must also be responsible for organizing the treasury.

Some sects worship Maitreya Buddha and preach the religious prophecy that "Maitreya's descendant life" is originally the Pure Land method of Maitreya. Some believers gather at night and gather people to cause trouble, and occasionally armed to resist the rule of the Yuan court.

These days, the people still don’t know that Yi Daotan, the newly appointed governor of Xinghua Prefecture of the court, had arrived in Fuzhou for more than a month, but he was reluctant to go south to Xinghua Prefecture.

As the magistrate of Yidaotan, it is not impossible to borrow some food from these gentry families.

Whether it was Zhang Nie or Tan Lun, they could only find ways to cover up these news, and they did not dare to report to the capital before the Japanese pirates in Xinghua were wiped out.

Although he did not go to the city, he would not delay official handling. This may be the reason why no censor of Kedao reported to impeach him.

In January, the Japanese pirates invaded Chaohui Prefectures, Huanggang, Da'ao and other places.

The rulers believed that they were actually still the White Lotus Sect, and the people also generally called the White Lotus Sect.

Although Qi Jiguang was a general of Zhejiang, the imperial court transferred him to Fujian, so he was the general of Fujian and was considered the deputy general of the division.

The income and expenditure of one's own government office are collected in the form of miscellaneous taxes.

Who is not in the army for money?

This is the rule of this era.

After the fall of Xinghua Prefecture City, at the beginning, Liu Xian's army was fed by surrounding prefectures and counties. When Weng Shiqi was in the camp, he also borrowed some food and grass from surrounding large households.

After Tan Lun gave the order, he asked Lin Zhaoen to investigate, and then asked about the master.

If these silvers were not given to the township heroes, they could finally be transferred to the magistrate and prefectural officials through various names.

In the officialdom during the Ming and Qing dynasties, local officials actually collected taxes according to tax tasks, but those were paid to the higher authorities.

After waiting in Fuzhou for several days, he finally waited for the Zhejiang soldiers led by Hu Shouren.

Although he was unwilling to enter Xinghua Prefecture City, Yi Daotan's official duties were not delayed, but Liu, Yu and Qi were less distracted from collecting food and grass.

It only shows that the dynasty received very low taxes and services, which were the lowest in all dynasties in history.

The army gathered in Xinghua Prefecture City to suppress the Japanese, but the food, drink, defecation and sensation still had to bear the responsibility of Xinghua Prefecture, or the people of Xinghua Prefecture.

"Now, what news is there in Xinghua Prefecture City?"

At this time, there was actually another name for this Zhejiang soldier among the people, that is, the "Qi Family Army".

The master hesitated slightly.

Tan Lun asked in a low tone.

But this is not important. Tan Lun directly sent someone to send a letter to Hu Shouren, asking them to go to Fuzhou to meet him as soon as possible, and then head south to Xinghua together.

At the end of the month, in order to cooperate with the Japanese pirates in Xinghua, the Japanese pirates in Funing, in order to cooperate with the Japanese pirates in Xinghua, they attacked Ningde by Zhenghe and other counties, and defeated them, headed to Luoyuan and entered the sea and turned to the Bolian River to land on the shore. At this point, Ningde County had already been trapped four times.

Part of Zhu Yuanzhang's struggle for the world also came from the White Lotus Cultists who surrendered to him, so there is also legend that he was also one of the White Lotus Cultists, but between the throne and the church, he chose the throne.

The Ming army commanded by Qi Jiguang were not from the troops from the garrison, but from the battalion soldiers recruited themselves, and they received a much higher military salary than the troops of the garrison. After the victory of the battle, the rewards were far greater than those of the troops of the garrison.

When Tan Lun heard the message given by his master, he frowned slightly.

When the prefect Weng Shiqi, who had escaped from Xinghua Prefecture, heard that the magistrate Li Bangguang and others were ordered to be taken back to the capital by Emperor Jiajing.

As for the degree of collection, it depends on your strength.

This is the case when people die for money and birds die for food.

Therefore, for local officials, collecting taxes is also a technical job.
