In the eyes of a discerning eye, Zhao Han has already rebelled.

Killing a few wealthy gentry can only be regarded as bandits; not paying land tax and Liao wages can only be regarded as resisting taxes.

Changing towns to create villages is really a rebellion!

Towns and villages in the Ming Dynasty were just settlement names and had no administrative significance.

Strictly speaking, only the more than thirty households in the town and its surroundings are counted as Huangjia Town, and there are only two to three hundred people in Huangjia Town. Therefore, Huangjia Town is just a small town.

For the rest of the places, according to the Lijia system, there are about 30 Lis and more than 300 Jia (official reports are not so many because there are a lot of hidden household registrations). According to the capital map system, there are 2 capitals and 24 in total.

picture.

Zhao Han directly changed the administrative divisions of the imperial court, abolished the Lijia system, replaced the Dutu system, and designated the land in his hand as Wuxing Town, with one central village and three natural villages.

From this perspective alone, Zhao Han is the number one rebel in the Ming Dynasty!

The peasant armies in southern Jiangxi and western Fujian have been united and have been in confrontation with the government for several years. The peasant armies in Shaanxi and Shanxi have already invaded North Zhili and will soon move to Sichuan and Henan.

The above-mentioned rebels made such a big noise, but no one changed the administrative divisions.

Zhao Han has shown essential differences from his fellow rebels in various provinces, and can be regarded as a mudslide in the peasant army.

Ordinary farmers dispersed one after another, leaving only more than 500 young people.

"Jiang Dashan!" Zhao Han shouted.

"exist!"

Jiang Dashan came out.

Zhao Han said: "You are hereby appointed as the head of Wuxing Village."

Jiang Dashan was overjoyed and thanked him. Wuxing Village belongs to the central village and is the most important among the four villages.

"Huang Yao, appoint you as the head of Shanghuang Village."

"Huang Shun, appoint you as the head of Xiahuang Village."

"Li Zheng, appoint you as the head of Lijia Village."

The first batch of followers, they were allocated only a little more land than other farmers. The official position was their compensation, and the village chief could receive two bushels of rice per month!

(According to the "Research on Grain Yield per Mu in Chinese Dynasties", 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 using small buckets.)

In addition, due to the shortage of talents, these four people also hold military positions.

A team of five people, a 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 model soldier under Zhao Han's direct supervision.

From the middle period of Jiajing period to the early years of Chongzhen period, the main combat force of the Ming Dynasty army was actually the provincial model soldiers rather than the servants of military generals.

The pacesetter system was born out of the camp system and was pioneered by the famous minister Weng Wanda.

That is, the governor, governor, commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief, and staff general. Because the army could not be used, they selected pacesetters to personally train and command. This was in line with the guard system and the camp system. The logistics of the pacesetters were also personally responsible for these officers.

, the number of pacesetters can range from a few hundred to tens of thousands.

Weng Wanda has commanded tens of thousands of soldiers, and as a civil servant, his military strength is unparalleled.

Even in many southern provinces, governors (governors) have quotas for pacesetters.

It's very interesting. Looking at the whole country, only the governor of Jiangxi and the commander-in-chief are not qualified to recruit model soldiers. Scorpion Baba is the only one... This can be regarded as Zhao Han's advantage.

Next door, Huguang is also weak. The Governor of Huguang and the General Soldier are not allowed to recruit pacesetters, but Governor Xunyang has a small quota of pacesetters.

At the end of the second year of Chongzhen, troops from all provinces came to Beijing to serve the king, and the main force was the model soldiers from various places.

They were the last elite of the Ming Dynasty's army, and most of them were destroyed immediately. In the next war, they can only rely on the efforts of their servants.

Of course, the pacesetter system has not completely collapsed.

Historically, Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, was captured by Sun Chuanting's pacesetters.

The first two batches of people who followed Zhao Han in the uprising were all appointed to military positions and received special compensation.

Zhao Han announced: "There is no food and salary for the Tuan Yong, but during the training period, the food is taken care of, and during the war, there is a departure fee and salary!"

Because he was afraid of government encirclement and suppression, Zhao Han stopped engaging in ideological work for the time being and must concentrate on military training.

"All bachelors above the squad leader level will come forward!" Zhao Han said.

Twelve people immediately stood up, including Jiang Dashan, Li Zheng, Huang Yao and Huang Shun. As expected, they dared to cause trouble only if they had no worries.

Zhao Han asked: "Do you want a wife?"

"think!"

Answered sparsely.

Zhao Han shouted and asked: "Do you want to ask for a wife? Please speak louder!"

"Think!" everyone shouted.

Zhao Han immediately asked Chen Maosheng to bring people over, all of whom were unmarried maids and widows from wealthy families.

Zhao Han tore up the deed of sale on the spot and said to these women: "You are free and you can choose to go home. You can also stay in my house. I will sign a new short-term contract for you. No matter you go home or you want to stay,

Anyone who works can choose a husband. Of course, you don’t have to choose a husband. Those who want to get married, come forward!"

The eldest girls and the little widows all seemed cautious and uneasy, and no one took the initiative to come out.

Zhao Han added: "If you want to get married, I will give you half a stone of grain as a gift on the spot!"

"me……"

Finally a widow spoke up and said hesitantly: "I also have a son, who is two years old this year."

This widow is the widow of Mr. Huang's confidant slave.

Zhao Han asked: "Who wants to raise a cheap son?"

The nine bachelors looked at each other and communicated with their eyes. Then a team leader came out and said, "I do."

My son's surname is also Huang, so he doesn't need to change his surname.

Zhao Han asked the widow again: "Are you willing to marry him?"

The widow looked at the team leader. Although this man was ugly, he was relatively strong, so she blushed and nodded without saying anything.

Only the gentry and wealthy families are concerned about chastity. The common people at the bottom don't care much. They are content if they can successfully find a wife and have enough to eat.

"good!"

Zhao Han smiled and said: "You are a family. Go over and receive half a stone of grain as a wedding gift."

The captain just giggled and dragged the widow behind him, as if he was afraid of being snatched away by others. He happily took his wife to get the food, full of energy. If the government sent troops to conquer, this guy would sacrifice for the land, wife and son.

Go out and fight with the officers and soldiers.

Seeing that they had formed a new family and that there was food available, other men and women were ready to take action.

Zhao Han continued to ask the maid and the widow: "Who still wants to get married?"

More than 20 people immediately came forward, and only a few were still embarrassed.

Huang Yao suddenly said: "Mr. Zhao, can I choose one first?"

Zhao Han thought highly of Huang Yao and said, "You choose."

Huang Yao said to a maid: "Sister, come live with me."

The maid cried and nodded, crying louder and louder.

Zhao Han called Jiang Dashan over and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"

Jiang Dashan replied: "Huang Yao and this man's sister were in love, and they were all planning to get married. However, Mr. Huang... was snatched as a concubine by Huang Zundao's son, and was later beaten to death by his wife. Huang Yao's sister was also killed by Huang.

The master accidentally killed him."

"Alas, we are all poor people," Zhao Han sighed, "you go and get food."

Huang Yao was not in a hurry to receive the food, but knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Mr. Zhao, this humble life of mine, Huang Yao, will belong to you from now on. Whenever you let me die, just ask the branch!"

"Good brother, get up quickly!" Zhao Han quickly helped Huang Yao up.

Huang Yao's eyes were moist and he couldn't hold back tears, so he took his wife to collect the food.

Zhao Han didn't talk about everyone being equal. He said to Jiang Dashan, Huang Shun, and Li Zheng: "You also go and choose a wife."

The three of them were overjoyed and each chose one.

Zhang Tieniu looked a little jealous. He was almost thirty years old and had not yet married. He couldn't help but said: "Master... I..."

Zhao Han smiled and said, "You go and choose too."

Zhang Tieniu had already had a goal in mind, and instead of choosing a young and good-looking person, he directly chose a widow in her twenties.

Big butt, good fertility.

Zhang Tieniu did not ask the widow if she was willing, but straight to the point: "Do you have any children?"
