Chapter 279 Expansion of Jinyiwei
He Tengjiao took Du Yinxi, Fu Shangrui, and Zhang Kuang back to Wuchang. Ma Jinzhong, Wang Yuncheng, Liu Chengyin, Huang Chaoyi, Zhang Guangbi and other generals also led their troops north and went to Wuchang, Jiujiang, Nanchang and other places to garrison.
Zhao Peng called Gong Xiaoda and Zhang Wei: "You and the two of you went to Guilin quickly and transferred the 8,000 new troops left in Guilin into Huguang. Zhang Wei, now I appointed you as the Jinyiwei Qianhu Office of Wuchang Jinyiwei, and expanded Jinyiwei in various places in Huguang. Based on the secret spies of Jinyiwei in various places, a Jinyiwei in each prefecture is set up!"
"Every city has a hundred households for Jinyiwei? How many Jinyiwei must be expanded?" Zhang Wei was stunned. He was originally a secret spy of Jinyiwei located in Yuezhou. Because of his meritorious service, he was attracted by Zhao Peng and promoted to Jinyiwei Qianwei.
Zhao Peng nodded: "Yes, every prefecture city must have a Jinyiwei Hundred Household Office! Every county city must have a Jinyiwei banner! Because in the future, Jinyiwei will not only collect military information and supervise officials, but also shoulder the important task of land reform in Huguang. In the future, the tenant rent of the imperial village will be collected by Jinyiwei Hundred Household Offices in various places, and will be handed over to the inner treasury."
"No!" Zhang Wei was overjoyed. Now the Jinyiwei finally had the power to collect taxes. In the past, the Jinyiwei wanted to support the Jinyiwei army who had no salary and no military pay, and they all had to collect protection fees everywhere like rogues. As a result, because of these things, the Jinyiwei was attacked by civil servants, saying that the Jinyiwei harmed the people.
However, if each Jinyiwei Hundred Household Office does not recruit military servants, the manpower will not be enough. In the past, except for the Jinyiwei Thousand Household Offices in Yanjing and Nanjing, there was only one Jinyiwei Hundred Household Office in the Governor's Office in Wuchang, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Xi'an. In ordinary provincial capitals, there was no Jinyiwei Hundred Household Office. At most, a small flag of manpower was sent to station. Where could the manpower be enough? Therefore, each local 100 Household Office has to recruit military servants.
As for the hundreds of households under the jurisdiction of the Jinyiwei Qianhu in Yanjing and Nanjing, although the scope of management is not that large, the expenses in the capital are large. In order to save expenses, the regular organization of the Jinyiwei can only be reduced. For example, the reduction of the Lishi and the lieutenant will increase the military remnants. The military remnants do not have the salary of the court and the military pay, and can only rely on themselves to make money.
How to make money? That is to learn from the market and collect protection fees everywhere like the thugs in the joints.
Of course, it is shameful to others to do things like collecting protection fees.
Now that the Jinyiwei has its own income, there is no need to collect protection fees everywhere. With formal income, who is willing to do things that are embarrassing and bring curses?
Zhao Peng also explained: "The expanded Jinyiwei is incorporated into the official Lishi and the lieutenant of Jinyiwei, and the military surplus should be retained appropriately. After all, some dirty things still need temporary workers to do. The temporary workers are the ones who take the blame for your formal workers. If something happens, please give the gentry an explanation. When the news passes, you will recall the temporary workers."
Although everyone has heard of the new term temporary worker for the first time, from Zhao Peng's description, they also knew what was going on. Anyway, they didn't receive the official salary of the imperial court. The Jinyiwei did not have a formal staffing, so they just took the blame when something happened.
"Temporary workers cannot be equipped with flying fish suits, wingless black gauze hats, embroidered spring swords, and can only be equipped with mandarin duck battle jackets and Fan Yang hats. If conditions permit, they can be equipped with armor and six-petal steep iron helmets." Zhao Peng explained again.
That's of course. Later, the auxiliary police of the Public Security Bureau and the police station not only did not have police ranks, but also did not have formal uniforms, because they were temporary workers and were not as high as the auxiliary police officers of contract workers. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a type of security guard.
Gong Xiaoda and Zhang Wei bid farewell to Zhao Peng. Then they put on big red flying fish suits, wore wingless black hats, and took more than a dozen Jinyiwei to Guilin on horseback.
Then, Zhao Peng called Cai Laoliu again: "Laoliu, this time we will take Nanning without any bloodshed and quell the rebellion between the two kings. You are the most important thing! I have now officially appointed you as the Jinyiwei Hundred Houses! I stationed in Nanning Jinyiwei Hundred Houses."
Mr. Cai was overjoyed, but he asked strangely: "But the Guangxi Governor's Office is in Guilin, shouldn't the Jinyiwei Hundred Houses Office be in Guilin?"
Zhao Peng only remembered that the location of Guangxi Provincial Government in this era was Guilin rather than Nanning, but a gentleman could not reap the words of a gentleman. What's more, Nanning is also an important big city. In terms of convenient transportation conditions, Nanning is far superior to Guilin, especially in this era, there were no trains and cars, and transportation mainly relied on water transportation, so Nanning's transportation was much more developed than Guilin.
Large sea ships of this era can reach Nanning directly, such as the 800-ton third-class battleship and the 1,000-ton Spanish sailing ships, can all enter Nanning. Can these ships enter Guilin?
Nanning is located in the southern plains of Guangxi and has convenient transportation. Therefore, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Guangxi Provincial Government changed from Guilin to Nanning.
Thinking of this, Zhao Peng replied: "Guangxi will be a dual-center in the future. After all, Nanning is convenient for transportation. Large ships can reach Nanning, while large ships can reach Guilin?"
Cai Laoliu nodded: "What the Marquis said is that Nanning is much more convenient. Large ships can reach Guangzhou directly, and Dafu ships can even enter Nanning, but they cannot enter Guilin. But large ships can also enter Liucheng?"
"Is Liucheng as big as Nanning?" Zhao Peng said with a smile. At this time, Liucheng was just a small city, not even a palace city. Liuzhou in later generations became an important city because of the railway.
"Yes, the Marquis taught him a lesson!" Cai Laoliu nodded repeatedly.
After Cai Laoliu was appointed as an officer at the Jinyiwei Hundred Houses Office in Nanning, he began to recruit soldiers and horses.
According to Zhao Peng's request, the Jinyiwei must recruit new people, including honest and honest farmers, rogues, gamblers, pickpockets, and playboys.
Outside Nanning City, on an empty land beside the Yong River, the Jinyiwei used wooden fences to pull out a site. A big red banner was hung on the front door, which read: Nanning Jinyiwei Hundred Houses Office was established to recruit Jinyiwei.
Farmer Zhang Yonggui was carrying a load of vegetables and preparing to go to the city to hawk, but suddenly saw a crowd of people outside the city gate, surrounded by a large group of people. So he stepped forward and asked, "Why is this so lively?"
The man Zhang Yonggui asked was big and thick, with a pair of dog skin plaster on his forehead, and he looked like he was raspy. The man gave Zhang Yonggui a blank look: "Recruiting Jinyiwei, why? You want to try it too? Well, I advise you not to waste your time in this mud legs, go back and urinate and take care of yourself!"
When Zhang Yonggui heard about recruiting Jinyiwei, he was immediately moved. You should know that he was just an honest farmer outside Nanning City. He was often bullied because he was loyal. Although he had only strength, he was stupid and stupid, so he was always laughed at. But he was also an honest man. He was bullied and unwilling to hit someone with his fists. He always swallowed his anger.
If I could become the Jinyiwei, see who would dare to bully me in a while! Zhang Yonggui thought to himself, and unconsciously followed the people into the venue for recruiting Jinyiwei.
Just when Zhang Yonggui was about to carry the load in, the Jinyiwei outside stopped him: "This fellow villager, the load cannot be jumped in. There are too many people. You can put the load outside and we will keep it for you."
Seeing the Jinyiwei's kind-hearted look, Zhang Yonggui nodded and placed the burden at the door for Jinyiwei to keep it.
There were only 120 Jinyiwei officially recruited, but the people who came to register were crowded with people. They stood on the high platform in the venue and looked down. They saw a large area of black heads, and at least 10,000 people came!
