Jing Anmin was the deputy envoy of Jiedu and had rich experience in both military and political affairs.
Guo Ning himself was stationed in Haicang Town, and the tasks of receiving people and assets from various places were all coordinated by Jing'an people in Ye County. Because Guo Ning did not use local officials or people from powerful families to seek refuge, Jing'an people had to rely on
Various ministries deployed dozens of barely literate junior officers to support the scene.
In the past, these small officers in the army could only do chores like counting money and food, but they were probably not able to catch the eye of Yai Chucai. Therefore, they did not belong to the system of officials who were subordinates of Yizai Chucai and were responsible for judging Jiedu envoys. But they were in Jingjing.
Everyone under Anmin is capable of taking on important responsibilities.
However, because most of them were not good at calligraphy, many of the documents submitted by these junior officers were written on wooden boards with charcoal pens. Jing Anmin had to arrange a few clever people on hand to guess what these handwritings meant.
A few days passed like this, until Jing'an Min stepped into the Chinese army's tent in Haicang Town. He was preoccupied, constantly thinking about his own strength and the possible movements of the Mongolian army, but his eyes were still wandering, as if those ghostly drawings were still there.
circling.
Then he saw the generals holding their breath, waiting to move Chu Cai to discuss with Guo Ning.
The two people had probably been discussing for a long time. They moved a few pieces of writing paper in front of Chu Cai and wrote a lot with ink. From time to time, they also added notes to a map.
On the other hand, Xu Jin was still a little stunned: "Jie Shuai, since ancient times, how can anyone manage a place like this? Even the Jurchens' Meng An Muke is nothing more than..."
"Why are we talking about governing the place?" Jing'an Min was a little confused. He asked Hao Duan in a low voice, who had arrived at the camp earlier: "Didn't you say that we were going to fight the Mongolian army?"
Hao Duan listened intently but did not answer for a moment.
Guo Ning said calmly: "Since the Jurchens are so fierce, there is nothing Han'er can't do. The most important thing right now is to integrate the people of Laizhou and the soldiers of Dinghai Navy into one body. The sooner the better, the better.
The stronger the better!”
"...that's what Commander Jie said."
"Then it's settled! Jin Qing will sort out the terms and implement them immediately!"
"Execution of what?" Jing Anmin changed direction and punched Ma Bao in the waist.
Ma Bao's face was full of admiration, almost drooling: "Get on the horse to manage the army, dismount the horse to manage the people, this is so majestic!"
It turns out that when the current situation was stable in the early years of Taihe, the total number of households in the five counties of Laizhou was 86,000, with 500,000 registered men and women. Nowadays, the people of Laizhou are scattered and the fields are deserted. Guo Ning only controls the number of households directly controlled by Guo Ning.
It was less than 20% at that time.
In the past few days, the Jiedushi government has tried its best to count its gains. According to rough calculations, the number of civilians recruited and taken back from powerful families from various places, including Meng'an Mouke, totaled 12,000 households and 60,000 people.
More than seven thousand people.
Correspondingly, the number of Dinghai navy officers who accompanied Guo Ning to Laizhou was about 5,500. Because many officers and soldiers fled from northern Xinjiang and were bare-bones, the number of family members of the officers and soldiers accompanying the army was even smaller, less than 4,000.
Therefore, Guo Ning decided to take advantage of the approaching threat of the Mongolian army to make a drastic operation.
He wanted to integrate the officers and soldiers of the Ding Navy and the people of Laizhou into one place and re-establish the Bao army.
The ancient laws of the Kingdom of Jin focused on hiding spies and thieves, so that the five families were neighbors and the five neighbors were the protectors to inspect each other.
The Baowu redesigned by Guo Ning has different specifications.
Each named naval officer naturally has the status of the neighbor's chief, managing and protecting the five families of his neighbor. The two neighbors are combined into one bao. In wartime, the chief bao is the main army, while the neighbor's chief is the adjunct army.
.
The chief of security, above the chief of the neighborhood, does not have the position of chief, leader, etc., and is directly arranged according to the positions in the army. The leader of the team leads twenty soldiers, and at the same time manages the people of one hundred households, and the general leads the troops.
One hundred people manage five hundred households; further up, there are commanding envoys and military envoys, all of whom are in charge of military and civil affairs.
The central and eastern areas of Laizhou are not in a hurry to control for the time being. Only in the western coastal area, from Haicang Town to Ye County, to Xiyou Town, Sanshan Port and Zhaoyuan County, the Jiedushi Mansion has all the fields that were originally abandoned.
Under control, it was set up as a military settlement, and each household was granted a hundred acres of land.
Military households are also granted land, and in addition to the output of the fields, they can also receive 10% of the output of the people who are under the protection of this Wu, as a means of preparing weapons and military uniforms. In addition to this 10%, the people only need to pay another two liang to the Jiedu Envoy Office.
If there are other military supplies and taxes, 20% of the grain can also be exempted.
For example, right now, the soldiers and civilians have chosen a field, but they are not yet able to take advantage of it.
All the people had to retreat to the coastal forts and cities, repair and build defense facilities, strengthen and heighten the city walls, dig trenches for city protection, organize the production of various ordnance, and participate in simple military training.
Correspondingly, if you move Chucai here, a book will be compiled immediately to calculate the merits. In this process, military households who have meritorious service can obtain more acres of land and can be promoted to higher positions. And if ordinary civilian households are willing,
It can also be transformed into a military household and a person who protects others.
As for the powerful families who have taken refuge in Guo Ning in Laizhou, the people they control are the same as the local registered household residents, so they can't be taken care of for the time being. On paper, they have all been transferred by Tongpan Jiedu.
As for the administration of Chu Cai, it is mixed with taxes, duties, services, etc., just like the old practice. When it comes to war, let each of them try his luck.
Ma Bao explained this arrangement.
He was a rough and fierce warrior, and his words were inconsistent and confused. The people of Jing'an couldn't help but wonder: "Originally, the Jiedushi was responsible for both the military and the civilians. Isn't it common sense that we should compile household registrations and let them pay taxes?"
Guo Ning heard this and shook his head and said: "It is common sense to organize households to unite the people. But, brother Anmin, I only ask you now, the Mongolian army is in Jinan. If they send their troops to suppress the border, what will happen to the people in Laizhou?"
How many of you recognize us? How many of you will follow us to the death and fight with the Mongolian army?"
"This... After all, we have only been here for a few days, so I'm afraid the people can't count on them. When the Mongolian army comes, they will flee immediately."
"Without the support of the people, we will be a rootless tree in Laizhou, and we will die sooner or later. In the face of a powerful enemy, we must first lay down a solid foundation. Compared with the Mongolian army, our military strength is far inferior, and our power is far inferior.
, but as long as the foundation is solid, we will become copper peas that cannot be smashed."
“How can one become a copper pea that cannot be smashed?”
He moved Chu Cai and said: "This is how we protect the military system. Firstly, the military and government are integrated, and orders and prohibitions are implemented; regardless of the military or civilians, if there is any abnormality, they should be dealt with immediately. Secondly, the soldiers have fields and have expectations for the future.
Local identity means identification with the place. Third..."
Yi La Chucai looked around at the crowd and said solemnly: "The people and the army are one. At the critical moment, both the army and the people can kill the enemy!"
This Wu Wu method was an idea that Guo Ning had come up with before.
Guo Ning has not read many books, but he has fought in wars for many years. He has thought countless times about how to defeat powerful enemies and what kind of organization can be used to unleash the potential of war.
When Laizhou was established, what he thought of was to follow the example of Meng'an Muke when the Jurchens were strong and integrate the power of Laizhou as soon as possible. After the Mongolian army captured Jinan, they moved Chucai to discuss with him all night, and then went inside
Many management details have been added.
The method finally formed is actually more like the military system of the early Western Wei, Northern Zhou, and even the Tang Dynasty. Cutting off the beginning and the end, it seems that the Meng'an conspiracy system was transferred to the Ding navy officers and the dependent people of Laizhou.
.
This system, which starts from a military organization and then becomes a political organization, is best able to mobilize all social forces.
Once this kind of system is in operation, it seems to be infinitely powerful. In fact, the key point is to lower the mobilization power to the lowest level and squeeze people, money, and materials to the extreme. Once the system is implemented, it will actually greatly improve the status of military personnel, making
Joining the army and killing enemies has become a direct means for ordinary people to improve their social status.
The same is true for the system of hundreds or thousands of households established by the Mongols on the grasslands. As long as everyone in the system is not dead, there will be a steady stream of soldiers.
So, if the mobilization force is also lowered to the grassroots level, if the Mongolians can do it, how can the Han people not be able to do it? After the mobilization force is also lowered to the grassroots level, will there be more Mongolians or Han people?
?Is the war potential greater in the Mongolian steppes or in the Han lands?
Guo Ning wanted to see more, so he started from Laizhou.
He didn't even need the entire Laizhou, but just started with the people within Laizhou that he, the naval governor, could directly control.
If there are still officials in Laizhou and the influence of powerful families is still there, if Guo Ning wants to do this, it will inevitably arouse a lot of opposition and lead to all kinds of criticism.
But at this time, the officials were all detained by Guo Ning in Haicang Town to eat and drink; most of those powerful families were dead, and the rest were still looking forward to the high-ranking officials and generous salaries promised by Guo Ning... Who was going to stop them?
What's more, the Mongols have already captured Jinan! If you think about it clearly, Jinan City is only five hundred miles away! God knows where those killers will go next? God knows whether they will kill Laizhou?
If you are not going all out to rectify it now to prepare for the enemy, when will you do it? What? Do you dare to object? Are you a Mongolian spy? You are a golden traitor! Drag him out and chop him down!
"Once the rules are set, do it immediately. The people who were originally gathered will be dispersed under the control of the officers and soldiers. I will give you five days to explain the rules clearly and divide the land. After five days, I will see eight
All the soldiers and civilians are united and can fight against the Mongolian army at any time!"
"When the soldiers communicate with the people separately, they always have to spend some time talking. Isn't five days too short?"
Guo Ning sneered: "It's not short. Guess how many days the Mongols will rest in Jinan, and how many days Wanyan Sala can last in Yidu?"
