"This time there is Mr. Lao Ye, this Australian maritime business is indeed interesting, in the future, I will not say that I will go to Guangzhou to meet these people in person, next year I plan to set up a semicolon in Guangzhou, and then I will have to bother Mr. Ye to work."

"Whatever the owner says, it's the villain's duty......"

Wang Xingping listened to Ye Yiwei's report quietly, and nodded in important places from time to time, from Ye Yiwei's more detailed description, nine out of ten of these people who claim to be Australian Song people are traversers, but if according to the original theory, they should be in the distant South Seas, if they really cross at the same time, it is undoubtedly a more risky thing to run to Guangzhou in the Ming Dynasty in such a short time, could it be that the situation in the South China Sea has undergone any gratifying changes?

Whether it is an Australian maritime merchant or the Senate, it is not a matter that needs to be considered too much now, but the cannons that Ye Yiwei transported back really exceeded Wang Xingping's expectations. Although the quantity of these artillery pieces is far inferior to the equipment in the Guiyang army, the quality is considerable, of course, this is also the conclusion reached by Wang Xingping after learning in detail about the equipment of the Guiyang garrison battalion, otherwise he may not be able to look at these 'antiques' with his vision.

Let go of these, for the future development of their own, at present, it seems that the emergence of Australian maritime merchants is still a very distant event, not to mention that the appearance of the traverser in Guangzhou is probably just a very unexpected event, even if it is really in accordance with the original five-year plan of the Senate to infiltrate the power of Guangdong, the impact on Guizhou here is really limited, and the far water does not quench the thirst, and their fate still depends on their own is the safest.

The most feasible arrangement is to train the army first and firmly control it in their own hands, and at the moment it can be said that the soon-to-be-established Jierong Guarding Thousand Households Station, according to the previous rules, the quota should be 1,200 people, not counting other military surpluses, and the total garrison scale should be around 2,000 people, and the number of troops in this garrison alone is close to the actual number of troops in the Guiyang garrison camp today.

Of course, the army of the Ming Dynasty is rarely full, but even if the vacancy is counted, the number of the regular army must be seven or eight hundred people to count, but if there is no entry from the imperial court, Wang Zhongde alone cannot afford to raise so many troops. It seems that only he can accomplish this difficult task, and in fact it is he who has taken the initiative to take on the task of raising soldiers.

Wang Xingping knows very well in his heart that the core of any organization is the control of finances, the imperial court wants to fight, govern the people, and govern the government, relying on food in their hands and not panicking, Guizhou is in such a difficult situation now is not precisely because money and food cannot make ends meet, and supplies are dependent on other provinces.

It was another idea in the middle that came spontaneously, if it was possible to solve the food and salary of the soldiers, so that these military households that had just been assembled could have enough soldiers, then why should there be any more worries, and how could Wang Xingping, who let them get all this, worry about not being able to control the military heart of this army?

At the end of the year, there was nothing to do in the school, and the aspiring classmates were all studying hard at home to prepare for the next year's exams, including the Qiu Maopu who had talked to Wang Mingde before.

In recent years, businessmen from Jiangxi and Sichuan, who had a larger business, had closed down early and returned to their hometowns, and some border merchants were distressed and reluctant to travel far away, but they basically did not put their minds on business anymore. Especially in the city and outside the city, every family is busy buying goods for the New Year, visiting relatives and friends, and even the construction period of the city has been delayed a lot.

Wang Xingping greeted the two familiar city soldiers, and as soon as he came out of the Rouyuan Gate, he was slapped on the shoulder by a palm behind him, "Okay, you Wang Tiancheng, you have so many good things, and you don't let Ben Xianggong see it." ”

"Who am I, it turns out that you are a splash."

The scholar who patted him on the shoulder was dressed in a brown shirt, but he was not annoyed when he heard Wang Xingping's scolding, it was Yang Wencong, he laughed and said, "It's still the virtuous brother who understands me, this cheeky word is really comfortable for my brother's heart, how can it be as boring as your senior brother, with a straight face all day long, it seems that I owe him money." ”

Wang Xingping also smiled, "It's not that I owe him money, but I owe him my sister-in-law, and how can you arrange your own uncle like this." ”

"You also said that if it weren't for my father's strict management, I really wouldn't want to take the township test, and when I win the lift, I will get married, and it will become more and more boring in the future."

"But how did the little brother hear about the matter between the husband and wife's bed, which is very interesting."

Yang Wencong was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed and said: "I think Tiancheng is like a splash, I don't know which private person heard such nonsense." ”

"Do you see my little brother like that?" Wang Xingping also laughed while walking when he heard this, and Xiao Liu next to him was surprised inexplicably.

Yang Wencong didn't care, "It's not like it, so I have to let the virtuous brother take him to see other tricksters, and it's better to change his brain, isn't it more interesting than reading, you can take the prime minister to see your newly bought cannon first." ”

"Then Brother Yang really wants to fall off the list, don't blame the little brother." Wang Xingping didn't mean to refuse, but he didn't forgive people.

"That's natural, if you want to blame Ma Shiying, who told him to talk about his sister." But after returning to the meaning of Wang Xingping's words, Yang Wencong smiled cheekily again, "Do you think the True Xiang Guild is on the list?" ”

"Okay, I still have serious things to do, don't make noise with you, you just come with me if you want to see it."

said that Wang Xingping was about to slip away, but was dragged by Yang Wencong again, "Aren't you just going to set off the cannon?" I'm just in a hurry today, and I'll go for a walk with you. ”

Wang Xingping was speechless......

…………

From time to time, the trumpets of the people could be heard in the distance, but under the earth-shattering roar on the playground, it was only as thick as the sound of mosquitoes.

'Stand up! ’

Goria shouted in a slightly jerky Guizhou accent, these passwords were all given to him by Wang Xingping, these days, in addition to running, it is queue training, although Goria is not born in Europe, but the opponent is also a little known, and the local Han people in Guizhou also know that when facing the Yiren native soldiers, they can often fight with fewer enemies.

Some of the people in the team were furnace households from Qijiang, and many were Han people recruited from around Guiyang, and many of them were still township parties from the same village. There are even some fugitive military households, and when they heard about Wang Xingping's treatment here, they all came to serve.

"I said that a few days ago, Fuchen was busy but didn't hear the news of Tiancheng's contributions, it turned out that he had been nesting here and leading the furnace households to run laps, this is just waiting for the cannon to come back and pick up the credit." Yang Wencong looked at Wang Xingping with a smile, his face full of triumph.

"This is the military formation, the most important thing to fight a war, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." Xiao Liu, who has been following Wang Xingping, is also accustomed to Yang Wencong's spleen and stomach, and when he helps the young master reply, he doesn't care about the other party's talent identity at all, and the young master of the Yang family doesn't seem to mind.

"The pomp is good, he is worthy of being a person valued by Zhang Xianggong, and this dress alone costs a lot of silver, right?"

Yang Wencong looked at this piece of red suit, and also knew that Wang Xingping had made a lot of money, and even the officials and soldiers were not worthy of such neat clothes, and he was so neatly dressed, and he was also amazed.

"Since it is necessary to fight a war, it is natural to have strong armor and soldiers, and the output of the iron factory is still very limited, but even if the iron armor cannot be matched, the battle jacket must be worn by the brothers."

"Are you really going to fight?"

Wang Xingping looked indifferent, "It's rare that no one is restrained, why don't you make a name for yourself?" Anyway, I don't have to take the scientific expedition this year. ”

Yang Wencong was a little surprised when he heard this, and suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "What?" Have you also heard the report on the patrol yamen?

Wang Xingping smiled, "Yang Zhiyuan's temperament has changed greatly, even if he doesn't say that Zhang Fujun will help him preach it?" Besides, it's not a few days late. ”

Last month, because the official road connecting Huguang in the east was robbed by the people of the Pingding Division, Zhang Heming specially ordered Sun Chongxian's department to go to quell the chaos, this time the matter is not small, although there is a road to Shuzhong in Guizhou, but the main supply still depends on Huguang.

And this time, the people who went to the official road to loot money and grain were led by Liangjiang Miao Ling, which is located between the Maha River and the Duyun River, and almost every family participated in the Wu and Wang clans of the Tusi. Yang Laobao in the east of Pingyue Wei was even besieged for a time, and Yang Laozhan Guandu, who was close to Pingyue, was also threatened by the thief army many times, but fortunately, there were hundreds of strong Han troops in the Yangchang Pass that was guarding the dangerous pass in the east at that time to stabilize the situation, so this time Zhang Heming's army was dispatched, and there was a meaning to plow the court and sweep the holes to level the two rivers and Miao in one fell swoop.

I don't know if Yang He saw the benefits brought to Zhang Heming by the great victories of the official army in the previous few times, or if he was really worried because the grain and salary transported from Huguang were blocked on the way, anyway, Master Yang specially wrote a report for this, which not only carried the previous actions of the official army in Hongbian and Dingguang, which was regarded as an endorsement of Zhang Heming's main battle strategy, but also had great confidence in the cutting off of Liangjiang Miao in this time, and tried his best to speak for the official army in the report.

What's more subtle is that this report also brought Shuixi, and Master Yang said that the Shuixi clan should also be strengthened to control, not only their household registration land, tribute, money and grain should be re-checked one by one, but also the forty-eight leaders and their ancestors must be re-recorded for the control of the officials. Whether it can be executed is only known by genius, but if this bold statement is released first, there will naturally be no more rumors of discord, and even after this scene, even Zhang Heming's report urging the officials and soldiers to ask for food will make people feel a little lacking in confidence, which is not as enjoyable as what Yang He wrote.

It is because on this bright face that Wang Xingping feels that this new force with sufficient cultivation in his hands is not impossible to use, at least the people with a little skill have been left in the iron factory, and the production of ordnance can definitely be guaranteed, and the rest is to see who to try it out and what reason to use.

He naturally has some ideas, the Song family in Shuidong and the An family are quite close, often echoing each other, and the Song family does occupy a lot of military land abandoned by the original fugitive military households in the north, and many places are more prosperous than before the abandonment, but the government can't receive money and food.

For these 'ownerless' manors, Zhang Heming has long wanted to move, and Yang He has not made up his mind about taxes, but the Shuixi clan is powerful, and the Shuidong Song clan is also difficult, Shuixi has thirteen clansmen, and Shuidong also has twelve horse heads, all of which are mutually beneficial. The last time the Guiyang garrison battalion won a great victory in Hongbian, it was also Shuidong's horse head who covered Hongmiao too much, and the official army was justified in the name of the conquest, so the Song family also had a lot of complaints, thinking that it was the Guiyang Mansion that was good at opening the border provocation, and privately connected with various families.

However, fortunately, Juntian's files cannot be tampered with, and the Song family in the Yellow Book in the Guiyang Mansion Pavilion Library has no ability to burn it, as long as it is checked with a little care, it is easy to do the Song clan's invasion of Juntun. The only thing to worry about is that there are no soldiers to suppress, and Wang Xingping has one in his hand.

Moreover, if you want to deal with the Song family's manor, there is a ready-made reason, as long as this reason is presented, not only Zhang Heming and Yang He will not object, but even the sergeants below will have the same hatred for the enemy.
