With Wang Yilin's strong support, Wu Zheng and more than 300 subordinates quickly settled down in Lianghuwei.

The soldiers under his command entered the training.

Wang Yilin didn't lie, after getting Wu Zheng's promise.

Sufficient rations of military rations and ordnance were delivered on time.

However, it is said that it is sufficient, and in Wu Zheng's view, it is still deducted.

Of course, this is not the reason for Xingguogong, nor is it the reason for Wang Yilin.

But the system is like that.

Soldiers have two catties of food a day, and the dishes are messy, and one person is worth two cents a day.

What can you buy for two pennies?

About half a catty of eggs, a catty of vegetarian food, two catties of greens, and three pieces of tofu.

It's not a sum up, it's a choice of four.

The two pennies also include the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar used for cooking.

The soldiers didn't feel aggrieved, but Wu Zheng understood that such food could not train strong soldiers.

The will to fight is one thing, physical fitness is another.

There are already red-coated cannons in this world, but combat is still dominated by cold weapons.

Good physical fitness determines the intensity and persistence of the battle.

Wu Zheng intends to change, and if he wants to train a strong army, he must start with food.

First of all, the seafood caught by the sea is transported to the barracks, and whoever sells it is not sold, and the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders.

Secondly, ensure that each person has half a catty of meat per meal.

Finally, eggs.

As a result, the daily food cost per person rose to 20 wen (one tael of silver for 400 wen).

This is not necessarily a difficult task for the average person above average.

But it is not easy to support more than 300 soldiers.

There are more than 300 people, and the cost of a day's dishes is twenty taels.

plus Wu Zheng's promise to give each person two taels per month.

Taken together, these two things alone cost 1,300 taels a month.

The key is that the people who fish by the sea also need subsidies. The people who farm in Wuzhuang still need to be fed, because they can only grow miscellaneous grains in September, and the harvest will be two or three months later.

Only the shops on Shining Street have achieved immediate results and are already self-sufficient.

The 5,500 stone grain that Chen Bingshen's family had stolen and the 2,400 stone grain that he had extorted from Huang Degong were sealed by Wu Zheng and used for other purposes.

On that day in Ronglu Building, the ten thousand stone grains that Huang Degong promised must not be able to be cashed.

Because Huang Degong had already fled before Wu Zheng returned to Shining Town.

Fortunately, the Jade Buddha that has fallen into the hands of Wu Zheng is still there.

Wu Zheng handed over the Jade Buddha to Shen Zhiyuan and asked him to sell it to his father Shen Bancheng.

Wu Zheng put pressure on Shen Zhiyuan, and he threatened Shen Zhiyuan that if he didn't sell it for a thousand taels, then the chief flag officer he had promised before would not count.

Shen Zhiyuan sighed carelessly, his elbow turned out, and he had already blackmailed his father for Wu Zheng for five thousand taels, but fortunately, the Jade Buddha was indeed worth a lot, and he still went home with the Jade Buddha, because Shen Zhiyuan also knew Wu Zheng's current difficulties.

Spending money like running water, these five words accurately describe Wu Zheng's current situation.

Raising soldiers is the most money-burning thing, and that is a bottomless pit.

But this brings another variable.

The variable of people's hearts and minds.

Wang Yilin is a person, it's okay to lead troops.

Although he was a little greedy, he ate the empty salary of more than 300 people.

But there was no restraint on the soldiers who were already in the guard.

Therefore, in the guard, Wang Yilin's reputation is still good.

But as soon as Wu Zheng came, the food of more than 300 people under his command improved rapidly.

This drew the eyes of the soldiers of the former guard.

It is said that the goods should be lost, and the people should die more than the people.

When dining every day, the thick aroma of meat permeates the sky above the guard.

Soldiers who don't know the taste of meat for a long time, which one doesn't swallow saliva?

Many thick-skinned soldiers secretly went to the barracks under Wu Zheng to eat something.

In real time, Wu Zheng treated it as if he didn't see it.

But later, more and more people came to rub it, and now Wu Zheng has no way, how can he raise more than 300 people?

As a result, Wu Zhengren erected a fence outside the barracks to isolate the two sides.

Now, Wang Yilin's ears can't be cleaned.

Every day, many soldiers went to present their feelings.

In desperation, Wang Yilin found Wu Zheng.

"Brother Wu, aren't you pulling hatred? Even if there is money in the family, it can't be squandered like this, right? This soldier has to be poor, give them three points of color, and then he has to go to the house to uncover the tiles. Listen to my brother, don't fix that useless anymore, just feed yourself. ”

Wu Zheng rejected Wang Yilin.

Wang Yilin didn't move, but just sighed: "Yes, my brother won't stay here for long, Lianghu Guard will be yours sooner or later, you can do whatever you like." ”

Wang Yilin's letting go did make Wu Zheng accumulate a lot of hatred in the guard.

That's right, hate.

People tend to look at things in other people's hands.

If you can't get it yourself, it's best that others can't get it.

In this way, your heart will be balanced.

……。

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

It's been closed in recent years.

The small villages by the sea have begun to take shape, and the people are self-sufficient, selling the seafood they catch to the health office in exchange for money, and life is good.

The people of Wuzhuang harvested a crop of coarse grain, and under Wu Zheng's subsidy, they could also eat enough.

On the contrary, there are more than a dozen shops on Shining Street, with a scale of less than 100 people, which have generated good income.

It seems that Zhou Simin is young, and he really has the prototype of being an expert in governing the family.

Shen Zhiyuan used the Jade Buddha to exchange a thousand taels of silver from his father, solving Wu Zheng's urgent need.

Wuzhuang, the seaside, and the guard house constitute a triangle that is more than 100 miles away.

These three places are filled with a kind of happiness, contentment and happiness!

In Wu Zheng's view, this year should be able to pass smoothly.

But in many cases, facts are not always subject to human will.

A small group of Tartar cavalry bypassed the Qiantang River west of Fuyang and headed south.

Along the road, Zhuji and Shengxian counties did not send a single arrow, opened the city gate and fell.

Zhuji surrendered, its jurisdiction is in the hands of Fang Guoan, but Shengxian Three Realms Thousand Households, that is one of the three Davids under Zhu Yihai, seven or eight hundred people, said to descend.

2,000 Tartar cavalry went straight into the hinterland of Shaoxing Prefecture, divided troops into two roads in Shengxian, all the way north to attack Shangyu, all the way to the south to attack Xinchang.

The entire small court of Shaoxing Mansion shook.

The officials were nervous and terrified.

Zhu Yihai is planning to run away again.

If it weren't for Zhang Guowei, Qian Sule, and Zhang Huangyan to dissuade them and threaten them with resignation, Zhu Yihai would not even want to stay for one more day.

Zhu Yujiao showed her difference as an imperial daughter at this time.

She appeared in the court and only said one sentence, "If the princes want to leave, the palace will not be forced to stay, but the palace vows to live and die with Shaoxing Mansion." ”

The words are very common, especially for these old fritters who have been in the sea for a long time, this is nothing more than empty words.

What king, commander, has not said such a thing?

But this came out of the mouth of a woman in the prime of her life, and it really made all the eyebrows embarrassed.

Zhu Yihai was born with a sense of pride and decided to fight this battle.

But the army of the imperial court was on the east bank of the Qiantang River and the line of Dinghai.

Far water can't quench the thirst of the near.
