After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 105 Flying Tiger Village

"Yes, with the emperor's clever strategy, the problem of clearing bandits will be solved."

"Being the landlord and dividing the land is really a stroke of genius." Mu Ying sighed sincerely.

"In addition, the two measures of the emperor's 'sanding into the mu' and 'working with the gentry as a messenger to pay grain' are also the first of several thousand-year-old dynasties.

After reading the content of Huang Chengcheng's imperial edict, the two admired Zhu Yuanzhang for the five-body throw.

Mu Ying originally regarded Zhu Yuanzhang as her father and Empress Ma as her mother, and now she regards Zhu Yuanzhang as a god.

Mu Ying was not originally Mu, but she was called Zhu Yin after she recognized Zhu Yuanzhang as her adoptive father at the age of eight. Later, after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, she said to him, "Zhu Ying, Zhu Ying, whose child are you?" Zhu Ying just kept answering. : "I am His Majesty's child, I deeply appreciate His Majesty and the Queen's upbringing." Zhu Yuanzhang refused to give up, and Zhu Ying just repeated what he just said.

Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang reluctantly said to Zhu Ying: "You are our adopted son, and now you are not allowed to return to your original surname, nor can you take my surname Zhu again. Since you have been reciting the kindness of parenting, I will give it to you. Your surname is Mu."

So, Zhu Ying changed her name to Mu Ying.

Mu Ying's loyalty to Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma is almost impeccable, exactly the same as her own biological parents.He followed Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife to fight at the age of eight. He is a young general with extremely high military literacy. He is less than thirty this year.

"The responsibility on the shoulders of the general is very heavy this time, not only to eliminate the bandits in the southwest, but also to implement these two new measures of the emperor. If it can be implemented smoothly, the general will have a bright future." Feng Gubao said.

"Not bad!" Mu Ying said, "This is a great opportunity for me to make achievements."

"Here comes! Lu Xiu please come to the mansion for a talk." Mu Ying immediately ordered the servant.Lu Xiu is a Pingzhang political official in Guangxi Province.The emperor's new initiative obviously cannot be completed by himself, and needs to be implemented in coordination with local officials.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the provincial system was still used, and it was not until Zhu Yuanzhang in the ninth year of Hongwu that it was changed to the chief minister.

Not long after, Guangxi Pingzhang Luxiu came in a hurry.

After a brief discussion in the house, the three reached a consensus.

soon.

The latest notices issued by the government are plastered all over the city gates of various provinces, states and counties in the southwest.

……

The southwest is mountainous.

Among the steep mountains, there is a cottage entrenched by bandits.

It is called Feihu Village.

Like Feihu Village, where bandits gather, there are three provinces in the southwest, every state and county in every province, and even every mountain.The large number of bandit cottages has hundreds of people, and the small number of dozens or even a few people.

The Feihu Village is the largest one in the area.

Hundreds of robbers gathered in the mountains and forests, living a life of licking blood.

The southwest region is already barren, coupled with years of wars and famines, the poor basically have nothing to do.The only way they can get rich is to go down the mountain and loot the landlords.

However, the landlords also have their own armed forces, and it is not so easy to loot.

Looting landowners is a very dangerous thing, sometimes even at the cost of life.

Therefore, the life of the robbers is not as free and easy as imagined. Every day, they eat meat in large chunks and distribute money in large scales.

On the contrary, robbers often starve, or even starve to death.

The landlord's house is not easy to rob, and the bandits are also bullied and afraid of the hard, so they can only go down the mountain to rob the poor people who only have a little ration.As a result, the poor people have lost their last way of life.Most of the time they couldn't get it. Once they couldn't get it, they would become angry, burn the village, kill the whole family, and even slaughter the entire village in many cases.

There is really no way, they attack the state and county.

Attacking prefectures and counties is even safer than attacking landlords.

"The big boss, the government has posted another notice." The leader of the bandit 'Flying Tiger' was sitting on the chair of the Grand Master, boringly using a knife to trim his nails.Any bandit leader with a bit of power likes to give himself a loud nickname to deter the local people.Just like some gangsters in today's society like tattoos, of course they also give themselves nicknames.

At this time, a bandit minion entered the cottage and stepped forward to report.

This scoundrel is a spy in Feihu Village, who often enters the prefectures and counties.Specially responsible for inquiring into the government's movements, once the government has the intention of destroying the cottage, the spies will give an early warning.

In addition, there are some spies, who are responsible for inquiring about ten miles and eight townships, where there are villages that can be robbed, or which landlords are lax.

"What notice?" Feitianhu asked without turning his head, "Could it be that he took the initiative to go down the mountain again and send us a notice of money?"

"Give money when you go down the mountain, the government is really stupid!" The second master next to him laughed, "Now our cottage is just short of money. If the government really does this, they will send some people down the mountain and cheat some money to buy rice and grain. "

"The cottage has been out of food for several days, and the bandits have not had a good life." The third master sighed, "The villages at the foot of the mountain are too poor, and there is nothing to rob. The landlords and old wealthy families are well-guarded and well-equipped to rob them. It’s like sending death. If it weren’t for the fact that the imperial court was too rotten and the people couldn’t survive, who would want to go up the mountain to be a bandit?”

"If you can survive, who will fight against the court?" said the second master, "This damn court!"

The crowds were forced to go up the mountain as bandits, and they were all forced by the government.The key is that when you become a bandit, you still can't live a good life, you still can't eat enough, and you still worry about it all day, worrying that the government will send troops to destroy it.

"The three heads of households, the government is not giving money this time." The spy reported back, "The notice said that as long as we are willing to take the initiative to go down the mountain to serve the people, the government will give us land for farming."

"The government promised to give us land!?" The second and third leaders stood up immediately after hearing the words, "How could there be such a good thing?"

"The government has learned to be smart this time, but instead of giving money, it will give land instead." Fei Tianhu's performance was indifferent, and he didn't seem to take this matter to heart.

The government promised to give the land?When the hundreds of bandits in the hall heard the words, their eyes lit up, as if they saw hope.

They were farmers before they became bandits and had deep feelings for the land.In the past, it was because of the lack of land and the oppression by the landlords that he had to become a bandit as a last resort.

Now hearing that the government actually promised to give them land, of course, all of them are moved.

Give a few taels of silver, and it will be spent in a short time, and then you will still have nothing.On the other hand, the land is the source of energy to continuously grow food.

Land is the lifeblood of farmers.
