Zhongdu fell, and although the dragon vein was not damaged, it was still as if he slapped Zhu Youjian in the face, and it was so hot!

On the 21st day of the first lunar month, Zhu Youjian issued an order to "instruct China and foreign countries to defeat national humiliation and kill the thieves with all their hearts." On the one hand, he transferred the Shaanxi troops under Hong Chengchou to the exile and attacked them with the officials and troops of the Central Plains provinces.

At the same time, Zhao Yan was promoted to General Denglai, established a town in Huang County, and transferred Zhao Yan to Henan to assist in the suppression of the bandits. Fengyang Governor Yang Yipeng came to Zhao Yan, brought his general seal and presidency documents over, and asked about the number of troops he had.

The inauguration of the documents this time came surprisingly quickly, because Zhu You was eager to prosecute the thieves, and the officials below had to increase their administrative efficiency N times.

Zhao Yan reported the troops truthfully, and there were 6,000 soldiers entering Henan this time. Lu Xiangsheng reported 8,000 soldiers, and Hong Chengchou reported 30,000 soldiers...

After a lot of intensive financing, Zhu Youjian collected all the border troops, with 80,000 soldiers and soldiers. At the end of February, he sent a capital to the capital, with more than one million taels of treasury as military pay, and a deadline was established, which stipulated that all the thieves would be wiped out within six months.

Zhao Yan was promoted from Denglai guerrilla to General Denglai, and was promoted to three levels in a row, directly skipping the general and deputy general, and also rewarded 10,000 taels of silver.

This was indeed a reward for the Ming court, which had insufficient finances, but in terms of the number of killing thieves, the amount of money was still less.

This time, Zhao Yan killed 6,000 thieves, and the Fengyang Inspector Censor directly reported it after inspection.

The first merit system of the Ming Dynasty was to kill one pirate and get promoted. If you don’t want to be promoted, you will be rewarded with silver. During the Zhengde period, you will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver, and during the Jiajing period, you will be rewarded with 150 taels of silver.

If he had a choice, Zhao Yan would rather ask for all the silver. During the Chongzhen period, the amount of silver given by those who did not want to be promoted was reduced to 30 taels, and 6,000 heads was 180,000 taels!

Knowing that the court could not afford so much money, Zhao Yan did not ignorant of the matter. The soldiers who went to the expedition this time, including the soldiers from the baggage battalion, were all promoted to the position of the general manager.

In fact, in addition to promotion, it is simply a fool to get the money in the late Ming Dynasty. The money will not be left without the government office! There is probably not much left after layered exploitation.

Because Zhu Youjian was transferring troops, Zhao Yan had to temporarily postpone the period of Guide and began to arrange the military farming matters in Yingzhou.

As a superior, not everything has to be done by Zhao Yan himself. All he has to do is create gears to make these gears operate in the mode he sets.

His arrangements for military farming in Yingzhou this time are just to make this round more detailed.

In Yingzhou, Jiang Rong's son Jiang Cheng was specially transferred to Yingzhou to preside over the construction of the fort. Jiang Rong was old after all, and his eldest son Jiang Cheng was also very familiar with the construction of the city walls. He also studied the key points of the fort thoroughly. It was most appropriate to transfer him to Yingzhou to preside over the construction of the fort.

At the same time, it will probably take one or two months to get the business to buy buffaloes from near Nanjing, which is not too late for the sweet potato planting time.

At the same time, the staff of the garrison chief and the group training team transferred from Shandong had already begun to cultivate their own administrative talents in order to complete the garrison plan last year.

Although the Tun Chief and Tuan Jian transferred hundreds of people to the scene, there was basically enough manpower.

In the regiment training, the staff responsible for training are mostly selected from the army, and disabled veterans are given priority.

The staff of the garrison chief and the collective chief are among the "civilian officials" who are in charge of civil affairs, money and grain, and have the power of embezzlement.

Last year, this group expanded rapidly, and the region continued to grow, and some problems inevitably arise.

In order to prevent the occurrence of corruption, Zhao Yan established a supervision system in Yingzhou, and set up a supervision department remotely in Yingzhou, appointing Zhao Quan as the Minister of the Supervision Department. He also stipulated that anyone who is embezzled will be beheaded directly.

As an old servant of the Zhao family, Zhao Quan is undoubtedly loyal to his ministers. Moreover, Zhao Quan has no son, and his heart is tied to Zhao Yan, so it is almost impossible to do anything that harms Zhao Yan's interests.

However, officials also talk about loyalty in the world, and they are easily attracted and assimilated. Even if Zhao Quan can be loyal to his ministers, it is difficult to protect the execution personnel below. Therefore, relying on the Supervision Department alone is not enough. Which country in later generations has no supervision department?

The best anti-corruption method depends on the people, reporting, petitioning and other methods. Zhao Yan set up a series of systems for this purpose.

Most of his anti-corruption methods were borrowed from Zhu Yuanzhang's methods.

Zhu Yuanzhang's pollution control results were quite good. Although his methods were a little cruel, at least the officials in the early and mid-term periods were relatively honest.

However, Zhao Yan did not do the tortures, but only beheaded. At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang created an example of complaining against the emperor, and local people could even tie up corrupt officials and send them to the capital.

Zhu Yuanzhang also used the people's power to fight corruption, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not determine this system, and the incident of the people kidnapping officials did not happen after Zhu Yuanzhang's death.

In order to mobilize the people and eliminate civil corruption, Zhao Yan asked Zhang Buyun to return to Shandong to set up a propaganda department to explain the standards of taxation and various supervision awareness to the people in the garrison.

At present, Zhao Yan’s stall is still small. If there is corruption now, what should I do if the stall is bigger in the future?

In the process of buying at a low price or forcibly occupying, Zhao Yan deposited more than 1.5 million acres of land in Yingzhou. During this period, some landlords also resisted, but they were soon suppressed by Zhao Yan with force.

In this Fengyang Mansion, Zhao Yan is absolutely unscrupulous. The governor of Fengyang, the prefect, the inspector and the eunuchs of the tombs are all his people, and even the most powerful monsters can be blocked.

Because they were all blamed on Prime Minister Zhu, they are safe and sound at present. I just don’t know if Zhu Youjian will pursue the matter in the future, but it looks like it’s okay.

As soon as the staff transferred from Shandong arrived, they registered their household registration, allocated land, built houses, built forts, distributed ploughing utensils, plowing oxen, and food rations. These tasks were carried out one by one, and the military farming matters were carried out in an orderly manner.

These employees have undergone special training in Shandong and have also participated in the resettlement of refugees, and have formed a complete set of procedures.

On the sixth day of the second month, Zhao Yan and his troops embarked on the journey again and headed towards Guide Mansion.

However, when he had just arrived in Haozhou, he heard the reward of exploring horses. Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng's troops actually quietly headed west, which was very much like returning to Shaanxi.

Zhao Yan, who entered Guide Mansion, directly lost his life, and only met the old and weak who were abandoned by the thieves along the way.

The bandits' army is undoubtedly very cruel. The bandit leaders will not explicitly abandon you, but for the elderly and weak who are slow to march, the way to abandon them is to be rushed.

Thieves who cannot keep up with speed will only be abandoned and no one cares about them anymore. This is a process of survival of the fittest.

The thieves are very well-informed about Shaanxi. After all, Shaanxi is the place they are most familiar with. The rebellion over the past seven or eight years has given these thieves a rich experience.

Whether it is the familiarity of the terrain or the arrangement of reconnaissance, the most significant improvement feature is that the thieves have already learned to push down the walls of the captured cities.

There were countless high cities in the Ming Dynasty, which was the main factor restricting their plunder. Many times they could only sigh at the wall. As long as the city wall was pushed down, they could easily conquer and plunder next time.

As soon as the official army of Hong Chengchou left Shaanxi, it was immediately discovered by Gao Yingxiang and other troops. The bandits who were good at wandering and fighting took advantage of the emptiness of Shaanxi and secretly touched Shaanxi back.

The main force of the thief had already left Guide Mansion. Zhao Yan entered Guide Mansion and rushed into Handan. In depressed, he rushed a group of young thiefs toward Handan.

This young thief flew from Fengyang to Guide Mansion. When he saw Zhao Yan's troops scattered, he rushed across the Yellow River under the encirclement of the cavalry battalion and fled northward.

Zhao Yan followed him slowly with his troops, keeping the thief in the right direction at all times.

To enter Handan, at least there must be an excuse and a reason. The best reason is to attack the thieves. If you enter Handan rashly, it may cause a violent reaction.

The thief ran for three days and finally found something was wrong. Zhao Shaxing slashed the heads of the leaders of the Thirteen Tribes in Fengyang and thousands of thief backbones.

They knew the strength of Zhao Shaxing the most. How could they be so slow and drove them north like a duck.

Something is a trick!

The thief leader was so anxious that he wanted to run away secretly with his backbone, but Lin Yi's cavalry battalion wrapped them up, leaving only a northward passage, and he had no chance to run away!

The thief leader sent someone directly to Zhao Yan's military camp to spread the message on the fourth day. As soon as he met, he said to Zhao Yan: "Official, my elder brother asked me to pass on the message. If you want to kill and cut, please give me some fun!"
