The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 516
The letter about the militia and Lin Yifan's instructions soon spread to the Eighth Ministry's official offices.

The Eighth Department immediately held a meeting to discuss the feasibility of the decision made by Lin Yifan, and finally formulated a complete set of implementation measures.

For the Huazhou gentry, the Babu, which had been silent for half a year, finally showed its fangs again.

First of all, it was the Ministry of Military Affairs that issued the law of awarding fields for military merit to Huazhou.As long as anyone can obtain military merit, he can get the corresponding military merit field.This decree has been passed in all parts of Hengshan, and it has been delayed in Huazhou before. Now the time is ripe, and even this opening has been opened.

As soon as this law came out, the people of the entire Huazhou were shocked, and their enthusiasm for joining the army was high. There were young and strong people everywhere asking whether Hengshan would still be recruited.It's a pity that the government quickly posted a notice that the current conscription quota is full and no recruits will be recruited for the time being.In this regard, many young people can't help but feel very disappointed. At the same time, many people are also very puzzled. Since there is no conscription, why such a decree is issued?
In the next few days, news from the Western Regions began to spread throughout Huazhou.Among them, there are stories about the militia.After vigorous exaggeration by the Propaganda Department, stories about the militia's great achievements and overnight wealth began to spread, attracting many people's yearning.The gentry and businessmen who had news channels quickly confirmed the accuracy of the news.When they learned that these militia groups killed the Xijin werewolves, they could not only gain military merit, but also get all the spoils of war. Everyone understood how great the benefits were.

Just when the hearts of the people were restless, the Ministry of Military Affairs finally issued a second decree. Anyone who can muster a team of more than [-] people can register with the Ministry of Military Affairs, register as a militia group, and go to the battlefield to assist the Hengshan Army in combat .

With this order, everyone was dumbfounded, Hengshan dared to act like this, aren't they afraid that someone will support themselves?

But the government still ignored it, and quickly posted a notice stating the requirements and treatment of the militia group, which was almost the same as the previous rumors.

Almost all the gentry and merchants couldn't sit still. They naturally knew who this decree was targeting. Except for those high-ranking families like them, how could commoners have the financial resources to gather so many militias? manpower?As for Heng Shan's plan behind his back, they are also clear.But can this be refused?Of course not.Such a convenient way to grab power, as long as you are smarter, even if you know Hengshan's conspiracy, you can't help but jump into it.

Ever since, many gentry and merchants stood up to recruit young men, collected food and grass, and rushed to the Ministry of Military Affairs to sign up.

The Ministry of Military Affairs accepted all the orders and passed the review.However, according to the regulations, a non-commissioned officer must be stuffed into the militia regiment as the regimental deputy.With the establishment of more and more militia regiments, the non-commissioned officers who were originally studying in the military academy were immediately assigned.

Therefore, in a short period of time, one team after another militia regiment set off from Huazhou to the west in an endless stream.This scene shocked the secret agents of the major forces lurking in Huazhou, and immediately sent back the situation here.

When the masters of the major forces read this information, their entire faces turned pale.Hengshan dared to delegate power in this way. Aren't they afraid of the emergence of separatist forces in Hengshan?Only Cao Ziyan had a thoughtful expression on his face after reading the information.Perhaps, I can also implement Hengshan's strategy to slowly disintegrate the powers of the powerful families entrenched in various parts of the Central Plains.

After the gentry tilted their family's power to the militia, they stayed away from Huazhou.The power of the gentry in Huazhou soon weakened a little.Without enough manpower and sufficient food and supplies, the ability of the gentry to make waves in Huazhou has also weakened a lot.

In order to allow the gentry to put more power into the militia, the eight ministries successively promulgated various preferential policies for the militia.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs announced that anyone who has made meritorious service in the militia will have the opportunity to compete for the post of local grassroots officials.There is no doubt that this decree is aimed at the children of the gentry.After all, in terms of ability, the children of common people lost at the starting line.The reason why Hengshan did this was also a helpless move.It takes a long time to cultivate a talent.Hengshan is now in a period of rapid expansion, and the talents it cultivates cannot keep up with the speed of development.Therefore, a group of gentry talents had to be recruited for Hengshan's use.

After this decree, the gentry were immediately excited. This can be said to be the first time Hengshan opened his arms to the gentry and took the initiative to accept the gentry as an official.As long as his own children can occupy a certain number of positions in the Hengshan system, Hengshan will no longer be able to kill the gentry.For this reason, the gentry immediately selected a group of children from the clan and stuffed them into the militia for training.

Immediately afterwards, the Ministry of Civil Affairs announced another decree, as long as you join the militia, the taxes you need to pay for each household will be reduced by [-]% for a period of one year.

The Ministry of Military Affairs once again issued a decree that anyone who joins the militia will be given priority in recruitment in the future.If you have enough military merit, you can be promoted immediately, not the same as recruits.

The Ministry of Commerce issued a decree that anyone who participates in the militia will take this matter as an important reference in the election of the head of the chamber of commerce.At the same time, the higher the participation of chamber members, the more preferential policies their chamber of commerce will have.

The Ministry of Public Works announced that the military workshop will be open to the militia to sell armaments, and at the same time, it will offer great discounts on prices.

. . . . .

Following the list of preferential policies aimed at the militia, everyone went crazy.More and more militia regiments were formed one after another and went to the Ministry of Military Affairs to register.

However, what made everyone jump their feet was that after reviewing a batch of lists, the Ministry of Military Affairs announced in public that the number of places in the Western Regions was already full, and they would no longer accept applications for going to the Western Regions.

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help scolding their mothers in anger. The soldiers and horses given for nothing are still unnecessary. How can there be such a stupid government in the world?
Just when everyone was desperate, the Ministry of Military Affairs posted a notice, officially announcing the acceptance of the militia regiment who went to the grassland to assist in the battle.

Everyone was stunned, Grassland, doesn't that mean that the Hengshan army is preparing to start a war against the Donghu people?

Immediately, everyone's hearts fluttered, the grassland is good.According to rumors, there are cattle, sheep and horses everywhere on the grassland. If he can catch a large number of livestock and bring them back to Huazhou to sell, it will be a huge profit.What's more, those war horses are all pieces of moving gold.

As a result, people who were dazzled by the benefits immediately rushed to sign up, fearing that the seats would be full again after a while.

Just as the Huazhou militia went north one after another, Anxia's conscription also came to an end.A large army marched northward to Xiayang Pass.

At this time, outside the city of Sirius, nearly 40 Donghu people have assembled, which can be said to be the mobilization of the whole people.Boys as young as 50 or [-], and old people as old as [-] or [-], all rode on horses and headed west slowly under the waving of the falcon flag.
