The morning sun shone through the sky, and in the mist, a group of young people streamed out of their rooms and began their training day.

In the morning, it was time to temper their bodies, line up, and under the leadership of their respective platoon commanders, they began to run around the wall, rumbling and neat footsteps, like thunder.

After the morning exercise, there was breakfast, and after eating, I rested for half an hour, and then began a morning of queue drills. The neat spear tips reflected a cold light in the sun, and by this time the three-month recruit company had long since ended, and the platoons were filled with numbers.

The entire Yulin Army, as a ranked unit, shouted and trained on the colonel's field, and it was really a military formation.

"Two teachers, please see, how is my Yulin Army?" Zhu Youxiao introduced with a smile, his tone full of pride. After staying with these teenagers for a long time, his whole person is also much more cheerful, and his temperament that has become a little hypocritical due to the constraints of court rules in the past has been completely washed away, revealing the most essential atmosphere.

Although I claim to be a little self-respecting, it unexpectedly makes people feel sincere and not pretentious, in contrast, Yu Zhigao and Qi Jin still prefer the current His Royal Highness Taisun.

After carefully observing the phalanxes trained in the field of the university, the faces of the two were shocked, such a disciplined and mountainous army, they had not seen it for a long time, and compared with the team they had once led, it was simply incomparable, that is, Qi Jin was still a little bit able to hold on, after all, Qi Jiguang also paid attention to formation coordination, but it was not as perverted as Zhu Youxiao requires.

"Your Highness...... This ......" The two of them didn't know what to say, not only for the military formation on the school field, but also for Zhu Youxiao's intention to call them over to watch.

Before this, they had only vaguely heard that His Royal Highness Taisun was training, but they had never seen ≡ after the attack case, the two of them rarely entered the palace, and occasionally came in in a hurry, and went out after solving Zhu Youxiao's problem, and never encountered training.

"I naturally know the strength of my military formation, and I don't want to get any praise when I call the two teachers over this time, but I want the teachers to help me and train my sons in all aspects." Zhu Youxiao said his intentions.

"All-round cultivation?" The two glanced at each other, a little confused.

"Yes, there are still many defects in my Yulin army, such as the transmission of command orders, the training of horses, the training of cavalry, the experience of marching in the field, and the method of camping, all of which require the rich experience of the two teachers to complete and teach." Zhu Youxiao explained in detail.

"You mean let's teach your men?" Qi Jin was the first to ask.

"Not only that, in addition to the two teachers teaching martial arts and experience on a daily basis, I also want to set up a military school and send them to study in batches, and the teachers of the military school are two." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Military Academy?!" Qi Jin and Yu Zhigao glanced at each other, their faces shocked≡Since ancient times, only literati have run schools and missions, but there has never been a school run by martial artists, this matter is simply unheard of.

"Yes, it is a school that teaches military technology, and I hope that the two teachers will not be stingy with their respective experience and knowledge, and teach each other." Zhu Youxiao stared at the two of them with blazing eyes, "If the two of you are willing, you can send one of your nephews in the family to be the son of Yulin Jun." ”

"Shhh The two of them gasped, in shock, their minds moved, everyone understands the benefits of the ministers of the palace, especially the two of them watching the Taisun martial arts, which has many novelties, and its system is completely different from the current one in the Ming army, etiquette, orders, training, discipline, and combat, although some shadows can be seen, but they are completely different.

And from His Royal Highness's words and deeds, he can also feel that he disdains the current Ming army everywhere, and if he ascends the throne in the future, I am afraid that the military system will be greatly changed. Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but shudder, as if they smelled a dense and thick smell of blood.

But when I think about it, under the great danger, there are infinite opportunities, and in the initial stage of a new thing, the opportunity is the most, especially with the importance that His Highness attaches to military affairs, the status of the future generals is definitely not low, and this matter is promising. Thinking of this, their minds suddenly became eager.

The two of them had their thoughts racing, and they quickly grasped the key to it, but they became depressed again, because His Royal Highness Taisun said that he was sending his sons and nephews in, not the two of them, which was obviously disgusted with their age. However, at this age, it is normal for His Highness to like young people, and with the grades of the two of them, when His Highness is really going to use it, they are afraid that they will not be able to run.

The two laughed at themselves, hurriedly cleaned up their moods, bowed down and agreed, His Highness was still waiting beside him.

"Thank you for your Highness's refusal to give up, not to dislike the ministers and other twilight depths, and the ministers will not dare to refuse, and I will obey His Highness's orders." Qi Jin Yu said in unison.

"That's very good." Zhu Youxiao is also very satisfied, the regularity and knowledge of the two veterans are also what he lacks the most at this time, and after they join, the training of the Yulin Army will also speed up.

In this way, there is an additional small military academy in the palace, and there are also two more young people in the Yulin army, one is named Qi Wei, who is Qi Jin's only son. Qi Jin is an old man, so his son is not very old, he is just thirteen years old this year. The other is named Yu Mingyuan, who is the grandson of Yu Zhigao, and is the same age as Qi Wei.

In order to make Qi Jin and Yu Zhigao work harder, Zhu Youxiao specially put the two boys in the first batch of training lists. One is to show their sincerity, and the other is to let the two of them receive complete recruit training, at this time the recruits have all been left the company, and it is impossible to redo it for the two of them alone, so they have to be put in the military academy.

The first batch of 52 people will last for half a year, and the number of people will gradually increase after the operation is smooth. Zhu Youxiao plans to hold 10 short-term military academy training courses for all 900 people.

As a result of this officer training, the establishment of the Yulin Army was changed. The Teaching Company was disbanded and became a temporary unit, formed only when needed. Among them, the personnel were assigned, and the officers inside were assigned to other companies to serve as deputies. Two deputy posts have been added to each company-level unit, and one deputy post has been added to the platoon-level unit to assist in managing the affairs of a platoon as an assistant to the number one leader. And this time, all the official sealers were lost for training, and their affairs were taken over by the deputy.

In this adjustment, the military rank system has also come out. The soldier's simplicity is a thin bar for a year, and then a thick bar is formed every five years. As for the officer, it is a spear wearing a star, a second lieutenant, two lieutenants, and so on, and its shape is basically according to the military ranks of later generations, and as for the rank of general, the same is true, except that the two ears of wheat are replaced with muskets.

After this adjustment, there are new regulations and systems established, this time, as well as the last adjustment of the establishment, has caused a great impact in later generations, and basically established the system of the new army of the Ming Dynasty, so the two together are called the East Palace system, and the previous Yulin Soul Meeting, both are called the two cornerstones of the new army.

Time passed quickly, and with the help of low-priced salt, he soon overturned the other private salt that flocked to the capital, and monopolized the market in the entire capital. After occupying the market of Jingshi, Zhu Youxiao did not expand outward, and his salt farm was running at full capacity, and he could only barely maintain the supply of salt to Jingshi, and there was basically no spare energy to expand outward.

However, there is a market with a population of one million in the capital is enough for the time being, and from this market, he can earn 300,000 taels per month just for wholesale salt, and even if he gives Wanli a share of profits, he has more than 2 million taels of silver every year, which is a huge amount of money.

Of course, even if Zhu Youxiao is not greedy enough and wants to continue to expand the salt farm, there is no place for him, but the area around the salt field has been occupied by him, and he is expanding outside, and he will come out of the boundary of Tianjin, those places have long been occupied by all forces, and outsiders cannot be allowed to interfere at all, even if he is the emperor's grandson.

What's more, the Changlu Salt District has always been the production area of the royal tribute salt, and it is intricate inside, and the nobles, civil officials, relatives, and vassal kings have all intervened, and he has no ability to put his hand into it at this time.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao dispelled the idea of expanding the salt farm, just stabilized the huge market of Jingshi, and did not expand outward, and even after several inexplicable conflicts, those forces behind him saw that they could not destroy the salt farm, and he did not have the idea of further expansion, and the two parties faintly had a trace of agreement.

If you don't come out of Jingshi, I won't come to trouble you.

After this relationship was determined, the situation calmed down when the court ascended, and both the Donglin Party, which was only in opposition, and the major parties that occupied the court, all died down, no one wrote to impeach Zhu Youxiao, and all kinds of rumors also calmed down.

Faced with this situation, Zhu Youxiao was faintly disdainful, but he did not deliberately destroy it, now is not the time, when he ascends the throne, sooner or later he will have to clean up these moths.

Since the external environment has settled down and the salt pan cannot be expanded, he has shifted his attention to the internal training of the Yulin Army, the in-depth training of soldiers, literacy and literacy, officer training, equipment allocation, tactical research, system operation and a series of other work, he is very busy.

In addition to the Yulin Army, his other focus was the factory in the western suburbs, where he occupied an imperial village and circled it along the river and built a high wall. The skilled craftsmen he collected were all inside, and the cement factory was also inside.

This is another place for him to make money, and the work of the masters in it is to study the technology thrown by Zhu Youxiao, and then produce it.

The master craftsmen here are also the top batch in the entire Ming Dynasty, it is not realistic to say that they can develop it by themselves, and it is still feasible to experiment and produce it with Zhu Youxiao's modern technology. In just a few months, the mature process of burning paper glass has been experimented.

After this good news, perfume and shochu were successfully made, so that Zhu Youxiao suddenly had a lot of goods that could be sold, especially shochu, which was extremely popular, and there was an endless stream of people who came to buy it.

Naturally, while the wealth is extensive, its technology is inevitably coveted, but in the face of the five or six meters high wall and the strict protection of the Yulin Army, none of the people who came to steal the technology succeeded, and all of them were caught and hung on the wall of the factory, which greatly deterred those with bad intentions.

However, this also made Zhu Youxiao vigilant, in addition to formulating a stricter confidentiality system, that is, to control the flow of personnel in and out, the periphery is in charge of the Jinyi Guard, the interior is guarded by the Yulin Army, and the workers who produce products inside are only recruited from the victims who are scattered in various places, and they are not allowed to go out for a short time after entering.

Such a perverted protection makes countless secretly red-eyed forces can only sigh with admiration, and at the same time they have to pinch their noses to curry favor, hoping to get some share of the purchase.

Zhu Youxiao didn't think that he could sell these goods by himself, so that he could not only make greater profits, but also extend his hands outside the Beijing Division, but such an action failed without exception, and every time the caravan out of the Beijing Division ended in the goods being robbed, Zhu Youxiao did not send anyone to try after a few times.

There is no doubt that there are people behind this, and the scope of the masterminds behind the scenes is very extensive, even Zhu Youxiao wanted to cooperate with Zhang Weixian and Zhu Chunchen, but neither of them agreed.

Either the black hand forces that blocked him from leaving Beijing were too huge, so huge that the two princes were afraid, or the two princes were also involved in it and contributed to the obstruction of his situation. No matter what the situation is, Zhu Youxiao can't solve it for the time being, so he can only stay in the capital.

And this trap is a full five years!
