Chapter 155: Everything is ready, only one thing is missing
Zhu Houzhao happily took the money bag, there were one hundred taels of silver, of course he was not for the silver, he just felt that he had suffered a loss, and wanted to ask for an explanation, and in a blink of an eye, he was happy again.
"Wang Shouren, that nerd can't lead troops, you give the palace a deputy head of the sect, the palace will help you practice, and after a month, I will be able to beat your father to the knees and beg for mercy!"
After Wang Shouren finished the order, he returned to the barracks and said, "The military order has been issued. ”
Yan Chengjin looked at Shouren and said: "Bo'an, you are already an adult, you have to learn to think for yourself, and put the Beijing camp in order, this official asks you, what should you do next?" ”
Wang Shouren fell into deep thought: "Drill! ”
Yan Chengjin shook his head: "It's silver." ”
This trick comes from Wang Shouren's mental application.
Wang Shouren led the troops and never had a defeat.
His magic is that he can always be alone, and when he arrives at the place, he can immediately organize a good army.
Traffickers, pawns, chickens, dogs, bandits and robbers, in his hands, they become thousands of horses who meet Bole.
There are no mediocre soldiers in the world, only generals who do not know how to use soldiers.
The means is to attack the heart.
Yan Chengjin handed over the written notice, with the amount of moon rings for each battalion, to Wang Shouren.
Looking at the military order on the notice, Wang Shouren frowned, turned around and walked out of the barracks.
An hour later, twenty carriages were parked in the school yard, and the boxes were all filled with silver, which were guarded by the thousand households themselves.
I heard that the newly arrived prison army was going to give out silver, and the soldiers of the 12th regiment and battalion all had light in their eyes and huddled together, not knowing how much silver they could receive.
They all stood on their tiptoes, and their eyes stared at the twenty carts of silver.
"Can the imperial court really send us a moon ring?"
"I have a wife and children at home, and if the moon doesn't ring, I won't be able to live."
"I don't know if these boxes contain silver."
A few soldiers whispered.
The law of the Ming Dynasty, the first time you escape, you will be punished with a hundred rods, and the second time you escape, you will be hanged directly.
Officers and soldiers can go directly to their hometowns to be arrested according to their military registrations, and if they escape from the Beijing camp, they will not be able to return to their hometowns, and they can only go to their hometowns as refugees without nobles to take them in.
If it weren't for the fear of the Ming law, many of the soldiers would have left the camp.
Wang Shouren killed dozens of thousands and hundreds of households, and he has established his authority in the army, although he is a white-faced scholar, even thousands and hundreds of households are afraid of him.
Xu Jinzhong stepped forward and said uncertainly: "Lord Wang, are these silvers going to be distributed?" ”
"Don't send it, open all the boxes!"
The thousand households opened twenty carts of silver and hundreds of boxes.
"The military order of the Supervisor Army, from now on, will sound monthly, three thousand battalions, each person rings every month, four coins of silver, five military camps, each person rings every month, half a tael of silver, Shenji Battalion, each person rings every month, six coins of silver, Tuntian Battalion, each person rings every month, four coins of silver!"
The sergeant was in an uproar.
If you work long hours outside, you can earn two pieces of silver a month, even if it is high, and now the least three thousand battalions have four pieces of silver, which is twice as much as outside.
If you save for five years, it is an acre of good land.
Among the three battalions, the Shenji Battalion, which has never been taken very seriously, has the highest moon sound.
However, Wang Shouren's next words shocked them even more.
Wang Shouren said: "The Shenji Battalion has been expanded to 27,000 people, and the moon rings will be issued immediately after the re-assessment and selection from each battalion and the regimental battalion are determined. ”
Thousands and hundreds of households were shocked beyond measure.
Real Silver?
The Fifth Army Battalion was originally the first of the three battalions, including infantry and cavalry, and was divided into the middle army, the left sentry, the right sentry, the left outpost, and the right outpost, which was called the five armies.
The number of special firearms of the Shenji Battalion is far inferior to that of the Fifth Military Battalion.
Now it's going to be 27,000!
"But Your Majesty's Imperial Decree? This matter is too important, and I have to ask the Duke of the State for a reason. The thousand households of the five military camps Tao Lin looked solemn.
He clearly saw it, Zhu Houzhao entered the barracks with his front foot, and Wang Shouren came out with a notice on his back foot, this order, should it be given by a mighty general......
Although the number of people in the Beijing camp is not customized, the strength of the five military battalions has always been more than that of the Shenji battalion, which is an unwritten rule.
Everyone is happy, but you don't want to customize the camp, and no one can afford to blame it.
Wang Shouren didn't stop him, but he was very clear about Yan Chengjin's intentions.
Tao Lin hurriedly came to Zhang Mao: "Guogong, the head of the Wang sect ordered to expand the Shenji camp to 27,000 people, and he saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince enter the barracks, and then this order came out. ”
Even if it was expanded to 27,000 people, there would not be so many firearms.
Zhang Maolong walked to Yan Chengjin's barracks and pulled his throat: "Your Highness, you can lead the troops!" Now that there are only 50,000 people, and you still want to expand the Shenji Battalion, do you know how much money it will take to build firearms? Now that the military salaries of the barracks are all sent out, what will be used to make firearms when the time comes, the Ministry of Industry will not approve the silver, such a big matter, you should discuss it with the old man! ”
Zhu Houzhao was stunned when he was scolded.
Yan Chengjin said: "This order was given by a lower official. ”
Zhang Mao's old face flushed: "The minister has just made some gaffes, and I ask His Highness for forgiveness." After speaking, he said to Yan Chengjin: "Restructuring is not child's play, there is an extra Tuntian camp for no reason, and the Shenji camp must be expanded, what do you think?" ”
There is no need to plant the minister's private land, and 10,000 people will be able to farm the land.
"The lower officials will make it clear to Your Majesty." Yan Chengjin Road.
In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, it had begun to gradually enter the era of Rewu.
In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, it did not attach importance to firearms, and in the later period, it imitated Western firearms and chased after them.
For the sake of prudence, there is still a chance to catch up now.
Zeng Jian was familiar with him, and it was not difficult for the Ministry of Industry to supervise the manufacture of firearms.
"You can do it yourself, and call the old man if you need to."
He didn't care about the general, and the power fell to Yan Chengjin, and Yan Chengjin handed it over to Wang Shouren.
Wang Shouren first asked Xu Jinzhong to pick out 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people and include them in Tuntian.
The remaining 50,000 people were re-selected by the 1,000 households and 100 households and included in the Shenji Battalion.
Fengtian Temple,
Emperor Hongzhi personally wrote the invitation letter and immediately sent it out, inviting envoys from various countries to come to the capital to watch the ceremony, and even Tatar also invited.
Emperor Hongzhi said to Mu Bin on the side: "How is the Beijing camp drilling?" ”
Mu Bin's face was embarrassed: "Your Majesty, the Jingying hasn't started practicing yet." ”
Emperor Hongzhi's face froze: "Why don't you practice yet?" ”
"Yan Chengjin changed the number of the Shenji battalion to 27,000 people, and the remaining five military battalions and 3,000 were distributed separately."
The faces of Li Dongyang and the others also froze.
As soon as he heard that Yan Chengjin had expanded the Shenji Battalion to 27,000 people and paid all the military salaries, Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Let Yan Chengjin enter the palace." ”
Yan Chengjin had just returned to the capital from Beijing, and before he could return home, he was intercepted by Jinyiwei halfway and walked quickly to Fengtian Palace.
Emperor Hongzhi said: "Do you know that I have sent out the invitation, and in less than a month, the envoys of various countries will arrive in the capital?" ”
Yan Chengjin blinked: "Of course the minister knows, now everything is ready, and there is only one thing missing." ”
Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes and said, "What? ”
Yan Chengjin stared directly at Emperor Hongzhi's face and said two words: "Silver." ”
