Chapter Seventy-Five: Four Hundred

Shen Yong has really been worried a lot recently, the salt pond utensils are easy to build, a few craftsmen can create a batch in one afternoon, even if the salt pond is expanded by five times or ten times, it will not use too many tools, and if there is nothing to do, it will be a big trouble, and you can't expect a hundred households to raise so many craftsmen for nothing.

What Shen Yong was most worried about was being driven back to the city of Qianhu after he had nothing to do, and then it would really be better to live than to die.

Before reaching the 300th household, Shen Yong was used to living a poor life, starving and having a full meal, and there were servants who were regarded as slaves by Shangguan, who were often beaten and scolded, regardless of whether the artisan household lived or died, even the ordinary flag army and Yu Ding's family did not have a good temper towards the artisan household, they were at the bottom of the chain of contempt, and no one would take care of the banner army's anger and beat the artisan household, Shen Yong had been trembling and cautious.

After the 300th household, everything is different, Min Yuanqi strictly ordered not to bully foreign craftsmen, of course, the offender will be deducted money and grain, plus the craftsmen are really useful, so there is no one to bully in the hundred households, even if Min Yuanqi, the official of the hundred households, is polite to Shen Yong, Chen De, the Li family brothers and others, and never puts on the stand of the hundred household officials, and the attitude towards them is completely different from that of ordinary military attachés.

Some officials will also speak politely to the craftsmen, and even shush the cold and ask for warmth, but most of them are in a hurry, that kind of lofty posture is actually more annoying than shouting, Min Yuanqi regards everyone as equal, but in his bones it makes people feel that they value and equality, if there is the slightest possibility, Shen Yong will never want to leave the three hundredth household.

Shen Yong's expression was also slightly excited, he was originally a military blacksmith who was good at making weapons and armor, but now he was the only blacksmith under the hundred households, seeing a large number of Suzhou steel and wrought iron transported, Shen Yong was excited and a little worried, if he couldn't eat such a big job, it would affect the big plan of the hundred households.

……

After all the items were moved, Han Sen personally inspected and signed the book, and finally presented it to Min Yuanqi for signature, and then filed it.

Now Han Sen has the feeling of a big housekeeper, and he usually participates in military training, but Min Yuanqi ordered him to be the pacification officer, and during the training, Han Sen and several pacification soldiers walked in and out of the army with water and fire sticks. If someone is not in line, or if there is a small movement, he will immediately use the military stick to teach him a lesson. Now that the weather is getting warmer, Han Sen asked Chen De to create a batch of leather whips, and he and the town magistrate took the leather whips every day to carry out military law in the army.

In addition to being responsible for military discipline, Han Sen also served as a quartermaster, a position that was originally held by Liang Shifa, but Liang Shifa was ordered to go out and be held by Han Sen for the time being.

In addition, Min Yuanqi also appointed Min Yuanzhong as a Chinese military officer, responsible for daily patrols and some trivial affairs, which reduced a lot of Min Yuanqi's burden.

Yang Zhijin and Gao Cuncheng served as training officers, and both of them were quite good in military literacy, and after a long period of training, they basically understood the things in the new book on military training and military performance, and at least they could be Min Yuanqi's right-hand man in military training.

In recent days, a large number of new recruits have arrived, and after the personnel have been reorganized one after another, they have been organized according to the method of one flag team for every 30 people, one general for more than 100 people in three flag teams, and one department for four general units.

In the future, an independent cavalry headquarters and a guard herald banner team, plus two divisions, and more than 1,000 people can form a thousand headquarters.

This kind of organization method basically ensures that more than 400 people in a division can form the most basic hollow phalanx, and can also form a large and small three-talent formation with the cavalry, and a larger three-fold formation, a square formation, a circle formation, a square array, and a square array, Min Yuanqi has not considered it for the time being.

His immediate goal is to organize a thousand headquarters, and in the longer term, at most to fill the two thousand headquarters, and then organize a cavalry division and a herald guard banner, almost 25,600 people into a battalion, which can undertake independent combat tasks and protect at least one county. If it is possible to organize and train some banner troops as local defense troops, they will guard the river, pond and key roads like the Tang soldiers and flood soldiers in the Qing season, and become a supplement to the field troops.

With such a clear hierarchy, the field battle and the local army that defended the law could at least resist Liu Zeqing's troops or the tens of thousands of people who were exiled here according to Min Yuanqi's ideas.

As for the fight against the Eight Banners, Min Yuanqi is not too confident.

His historical information is incomplete, and the details are not too clear, when the Qing army entered the customs, when it fought Li Zicheng at a stone, when it settled the Shun army in Hebei after occupying Beijing, and when he sent a large army to quickly pursue Li Zicheng, so that he lost the opportunity to breathe, and did not have the opportunity to reorganize the elite of the old battalion, and then when the Duoduo division went south...... Min Yuanqi remembered these things, but the specific time point, the specific marching route and the time of going south, these things were completely unknown.

He was even more unclear about the tactics and tactics of the Qing army, and later generations had seen some things, but they were all vague, and even the total strength of the Qing army entering the customs was also divided by many opinions, some said 150,000 people, some said 100,000 people, some said 780,000 people, and the least said was that there were only about 60,000 soldiers.

As for Duoduo's southward troops, many accounts say that they were less than 15,000 or less than 20,000, and these 20,000 people also include the Han army banner, which is actually a subsidiary army of Baoyi.

If this figure is true, Nan Ming is really not unjustly dead, and it also shows that the Chinese Han civilization is really sick!

"Brother Yuan Qi."

"I've seen a hundred households."

After stacking grain, cloth, medicinal herbs, sugang and wrought iron in the warehouse near the east school field, Yan Ding, women, old people and children gradually dispersed, and only the flag army gathered inside and outside the warehouse.

At this time, Min Yuanzhi, Min Yuanxiu, Min Zhending and others came forward to salute first, or called Brother Yuan Qi, or called the third brother, or called the third uncle, and even had a German generation, but it was called Min Yuanqi's third uncle, more than a dozen Min family members, all of whom were about seventeen, eighteen to twenty-five or six, and there were not a few older than Min Yuanqi, more than half a year old, and there were no elders of Min Yuanqi.

The Min family has been in Dahewei for more than 200 years, and such a family of military attachés in Daming is too common. There are some miserable people, and now they may not even have a secular position, and they have been reduced to ordinary flag troops.

The good mix is the Fujian Yu family, the Liaodong Li family, the ancestral family, and the Denglai Qi family of Qi Shuai.

Qi Shuai's ancestor was Emperor Taizu's guard, to Qi Shuai's ancestors, grandfather, and father all served as military high-ranking officials, and he had a deep and wide network in the Beijing camp and the capital division, which is also the reason why Qi Shuai was able to go to the Beijing Division Shenji Battalion to serve as a commander and envoy, and he was able to serve as the secretary of the capital and then as a general after a few years.

For ordinary military officials, it is almost a fool's dream to want to be promoted so quickly.

The Min family has a deep foundation in Dahewei, but now there are many middle and lower-level military positions, most of these descendants in front of them have not yet taken office, but only the identity of Yu Ding, and a few of them have taken office, nothing more than the general flag and the small flag, these young people are also the essence of the Min family's century-old inheritance, and they were all sent by Min Qiande this time.

There are also some of Min Qiande and others' old subordinates, family members, or clansmen of confidants and military attachés.

There were 150 or 60 people standing near the entire East School Field, plus the elite banner army picked from Wang Sanyi and Li Guoding, and the strength of more than 400 people had already filled most of the school field.

After everyone coaxed and saluted, Min Yuanqi first smiled and returned the salute, and after everyone was settled, Min Yuanqi said: "Whether it is the clan, the old department, the family, or the rest of the hundred households of the general flag, small flag, flag army, Yu Ding, today I came to the camp as a soldier, my Dahewei inheritance for more than 200 years, once fought with Meng Yuan, and also fought with the battalion soldiers, such as the war against bandits. After a long period of peace, the imperial court when we are the army, we ourselves are the ship's slender man, if the Ming Dynasty is still in peacetime, it is not impossible to live like this. But now Liukou has conquered Taiyuan, Datong, Xuanfu, Bingfeng has arrived close to the Beijing Division, Liukou has occupied most of Henan on the other road, has entered the North Zhi, the two road soldiers have almost surrounded the Beijing Division, there are no reinforcements in the west and south, only Wu Sangui in the east is still hesitating and hesitating, I don't mention the danger of the Ming Dynasty, if the Liukou goes down to the Beijing Division, at most a few months will go down to Xuhuai from the southeast of Shandong, and when the officers and soldiers are fighting with Liukou in the Xuhuai area, it is inevitable that the soldiers will be eroded together, and we are not diligent in practicing martial arts. At that time, who will protect the safety of my big river guard, and who will protect my family and other children? After joining the team, it is quite hard to practice martial arts, but it is useless if you are not bitter, knives and guns come and go on the battlefield, you don't practice martial arts, people practice, you don't practice, people slash and stab guns, if you can't stop it, you die, aren't you a fool? These are the truths, I will only say them here once, everyone needs to keep in mind, if you can't obey my military orders and endure hardships and train the army, you can turn around and leave now, and I will not be embarrassed. If you stay and receive my food and eat my food, you will be subject to my control, and I will treat them as equals, no matter what your status, and I will not give favoritism or embarrassment...... If you believe in me, you will be reorganized and trained according to the team flag in a while. ”

Han Sen, Min Yuanzhong and the others all glanced at these newcomers, they had been trained for more than a month, and the original loose aura on their bodies had been removed a lot, plus there was the tempering of the brave fight in the Hefang Shuiguan, and after walking between life and death once, the aura was completely different from those who had never fought.

The military attachés and veterans are very picky, but fortunately, most of these newcomers in front of them are the elites selected from hundreds of households, Min Qiande is doing his best to help this time, and there are many people related to the Min family from hundreds of households, but they are all young people in their twenties, not only their physical fitness, but also their courage and courage.

Those who are cowardly or slippery will not be sent here.

It is the eldest son of Min Qiande like Min Yuanzhi, who will inherit at least a hundred households in the future, and at this time he is also standing in the team like an ordinary new army.

Han Sen, Min Yuanzhong, Min Yuanjin, Yang Zhijin, Gao Cuncheng and others all gathered around Min Yuanqi, Han Sen first hugged his fists and said, "My lord, how do these newcomers be grouped?" A group has already come over before, let's make it into our own team first, and now there are more than four hundred. ”
