Under Zhang Mingwei's straightforward and honest treatment, he properly arranged all the things for the refugees, and finally there was the stimulation of entering the Jinyi Guard, and the refugees acted really quickly, taking the village and town as a unit, queuing up to receive money and food, carrying luggage, and embarking on the road back to their hometown with great gratitude.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yuji, who was beside Zhang Mingwei, was very emotional.

He has been fighting in the north and south over the years, and he doesn't know how many refugees he has seen. But I have never seen a refugee being arranged so properly that they can return to their hometowns happily.

However, Zhou Yuji thought about it carefully, but he could only sigh at the cleverness of the adult's means, this is really that even the emperor is fully cooperating with him to solve the refugee problem! Without those two wills, these refugees might not have left so easily!

However, he also understood that those two wills must have come from the hands of adults! It can be seen from this how adults are valued by the emperor!

But, on the other hand, it was not that there were no courtiers who were favored by the emperor before, but which courtiers could care about the hearts of the people?

The princes in the temple regard the people as dogs and lambs to the slaughter, who is bent on what they think and can fight for them?

Zhou Yuji led the troops to fight and knew how important it would be to win the hearts of the people. is also the same, in today's imperial court officials and soldiers, only the Yongwei Battalion has truly done nothing against the local autumn. Because of this, the Yongwei Battalion won all battles, but the number of Yongwei Battalion was too small!

All parts of the Ming Dynasty are full of beacon fires. Today's Yongwei Battalion has been split into three parts to fight fires. However, the power of the thieves is getting bigger and bigger.

Zhou Yuji is not a fool, and he is deeply worried in the face of this situation. However, money and food are limited, and the Yongwei Battalion cannot be expanded at all, so it can only be attacked more with less each time. As long as there is one failure, it will be a catastrophe!

He was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard Zhang Mingwei say to him with a smile: "The emperor has explained before, let me practice with the Jinyi Guard, and see if I can form a Jinyi Guard army that can fight." What do you think of this group of people? ”

Zhou Yuji immediately came back to his senses, glanced at the young men who were elected and were about to join the Jinyi Guard, and immediately nodded and said: "My lord is wise, the selection of the army must not be a scoundrel in the market, nor should the people in the city be selected. Qi Dashuai once said that the best source of soldiers is miners. However, the adults choose loyal and honest soldiers who can endure hardships from these refugees, and the general thinks it is also good! ”

Having said this, he hesitated slightly, and finally asked Zhang Mingwei: "I just don't know how many years the emperor has given the adults to train the army?" And where the money and food are prepared? ”

Although he had just heard it, these soldiers were not paid. However, in order to train them, it is necessary to feed them, and the consumption of this food is also very large. It is also necessary to use both grace and power to stimulate with rewards.

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he remembered that if he followed the development of history, he would lose the country in two years. What's more critical is that at the end of the year, Jianyu will enter the Kou Pass in a big way, and the thieves in the pass are attacking the city everywhere.

Thinking so, he smiled bitterly and said, "Although Your Majesty didn't say it, I think it should be as soon as possible!" ”

"......" Zhou Yuji was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head and said with a wry smile, "The last general said bluntly, please don't be surprised!" If you want to train an elite army, the kind that can win battles, generally speaking, it takes three years. Lack of training, unclear momentum, and lax orders, once you encounter an enemy with stronger combat effectiveness, something will happen! ”

The formation and training of the new army has been done by many officials before. For example, Xu Guangqi, who was famous in the early years of Chongzhen, trained the new army in Tianjin, and what Xu Guangqi promised to Emperor Chongzhen at that time was to take three years.

He's certainly not talking nonsense, and it's certainly well-founded. However, the situation of the Chongzhen Dynasty cannot be given three years at all. Therefore, in the entire Chongzhen Dynasty, in addition to selecting the elite and forming a Yongwei battalion, which can be regarded as a new use for veterans, there is no new army that can fight.

At this time, when Zhang Mingwei heard Zhou Yuji say this, of course he would not think that Zhou Yuji was scaring him and deceiving him. Therefore, I suddenly felt the pressure in my heart.

In the original idea, of course, he thought of the method of lining up to shoot. In general, the training time taken by this method is bound to be shorter. However, since he came into contact with Zhou Yuji, he has consulted about war, and he has understood more deeply that even if a single arm can win at the beginning on the battlefield, if there are too many battles, the enemy will definitely come up with a way to crack it.

As a result, it will take time to train a mixed-arms combat army.

Thinking of this, Zhang Mingwei suddenly remembered that he was still so reluctant to even ride a horse. This......

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Zhang Mingwei made a decision in his heart, fighting a war is an imminent matter, and his thinking on the army's side still needs to be flexible.

………………

When the two of them were chatting, a very small part of those who came out of the city came to donate money and goods, and more people came to see the excitement and even the jokes.

They were dumbfounded when they suddenly saw the refugees on this side of the camp happily leaving together. But the facts in front of them are all there, and after they came back to their senses, they were a little confused!

"What's going on, and why are they all gone?"

"yes, look at their pleasure, what the hell is going on?"

"Look at this posture, are they all going back? In this way, the refugee problem in Jingshi is about to be solved? ”

"No, what kind of method did Lord Zhang use to make the refugees outside the city leave Jingshi happily?"

“……”

In the past, the refugees who came to Beijing have not always stayed here? The scene in front of them was really beyond their cognition.

So, they hurried to inquire about the situation. After they figured out the reason, they were immediately shocked, and many people even ran to the city, apparently to report to the city.

"What? Have the refugees from outside the city returned to their hometowns? And is it still a happy return to his hometown? ”

"The refugee problem was solved so easily by him?"

“……”

The magnates in the capital, as well as the princes in the temple, after hearing the news, they all felt unbelievable. In their view, even if Zhang Mingwei can solve the refugee problem, it will definitely not be solved in a short time.

Some of them even thought about it, and went back to help Zhang Mingwei go to the land of Gyeonggi to publicize it, saying that there is Zhang Qingtian here in Beijing, and there will be absolutely no starvation to death, so that more refugees can be attracted, and see how Zhang Mingwei fills this bottomless pit!

However, they all still want to see the excitement, and Zhang Mingwei has already solved the refugee problem. Even if they send people to publicize it, they won't be able to get there again if there are refugees! That is to say, after the refugees outside the city are gone, the refugee problem will really be solved!

It's only been a few days, and it's really solved?

Many of the people in the city who were interested in watching the joke didn't believe it and went out of the city to see it for themselves.

As you can imagine, when they left the city, the refugees were almost halfway gone. This speed is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, it is really the kind that says go!

So, they were dumbfounded.

"Master, that Lord Zhang said to the refugees that the sooner the refugees leave, the sooner he can free his hands to catch corrupt officials!"
