[There are too many work and family matters, and the update is slow, so please forgive me]

Zhou Yiming spent more than 30 years of his life on the go, and when he was more than ten years old, he became an archer in Linshanwei, fought the Japanese and the mining bandits, and later became a personal soldier in the battalion and then became the commander of the guard. Although he was born in the wealthy southeast and was a member of the Zhejiang army, Zhou Yiming's life was never stable.

In the year of establishment, I looked at the pacification of the southeast, but I didn't want to catch up with the corruption of the Liao affair again, so I had to go out of the customs with the army to aid Liao. Although the days outside the gate are not long, it makes people feel anxious, the food and salary of the imperial court are delayed, and there are many conflicts with the local generals as a guest army, and the bitter cold land in Liaodong is really difficult.

I thought that my life would be like this, but I didn't want to change this time.

Everything originated from the acquaintance on the way north, and the softness in his heart that had not become hard for many years was slowly dissolved when Wang Xingping helped send those war horses, Wang Gongzi could not have cared about him and other Qiu Ba, and the best explanation for this behavior seems to be only due to respect, but it is just a one-sided relationship.

The rest of the things are like a marquee in front of the eyes, after leaving the customs, everything is restricted by the locality, and even because of the grain matter, he was almost punished by the official for the crime of harassing the local abduction and plundering the people, and the supervisor Peng Tianxiang was even left in Shenyang to listen to the investigation. All kinds of premonitions finally became a reality, Daming suffered a fiasco that had never been seen in Liaodong, and then fled, relying on Wang Xingping's chance to get the war horse to help them luck all the way south to cross the sea back to Tianjin, but found that the world is so big that there is not much way to go for the robe around him.

At this time, it was the prince who appeared in time, and it was a bit far-fetched to say that this was not fate.

Wang Gongzi said that he wanted to make a difference in the southwest, and hoped that he and his brothers could help him, and Zhou Yiming took this as a reward and an opportunity.

However, it only took a few days in the military camp on the outskirts of Tianjin for him to dispel the idea of repaying his kindness, and what Wang Gongzi did was beyond his imagination.

He still remembers the little shock when he first entered the saltwater gu barracks.

'Don't be distressed about your clothes, for a thousand households have prepared new ones for you. ’

'Drain the water—'

'Substitution-'

'Next-'

Ding Yi's shouting at the top of his throat still makes him remember it vividly, among the dozens of hundreds of recruits, there are salt Ding and slender men, all of them are sloppy, and after taking a hot bath with a kind of high water tower, it is like a different person. Originally, he thought that it was just Wang Xingping's hobby of cleanliness, but later he actually prepared hot water for the soldiers to rinse up every day, which is said to be able to eliminate fatigue.

Although their Zhejiang soldiers were not as thoroughly tormented as those new Yanding slender men who joined the army, they were not much worse, but fortunately, after changing into a new military uniform, they did not make people feel disgusted, and after passing through Liaodong, they transferred all the way to their original clothes and were not much better than Huazi.

The first conflict after he entered the camp was to help a few new fugitive Yan Ding fight against the general urge, in fact, it was just a distant cheer, and he didn't go into battle at all, but those Yan Ding who had just joined the army relied on the 'gun array' that seemed to be nothing new on weekdays to win more with less. After that while, Wang Xingping gathered all the soldiers in the battalion, both new and old, and said his intention to bring them back to Guizhou, especially among the Zhejiang soldiers who did not want to follow, and gave each person one or two silver for the passage to return to their hometowns on their own.

As a result, none of the defeated troops who fled back from Liaodong left, these people were selected by Wang Xingping because they all had experience in battle, and the first batch was brought back to Guizhou, and the Yan Ding and slender men who were not selected also continued to practice in the camp, waiting for the next batch to go to the southwest.

This march is even more strictly ruled, not only did not disturb the place, but took care of the small soldiers properly, in addition to not drinking, the treatment in this camp can be described as too good to be staggering, not only has meat for a meal, but also can often eat fruit when passing through Huguang, which was unthinkable in the past. In addition to setting up the tent neatly at every station, the first thing is to dig a latrine, and when you arrive at the place, you must also prepare hot water to burn the feet of the soldiers who have marched for a day, and then scrub your body.

When they arrived in Guizhou, they were settled in a military fort called Jierong Fort in the north of Guiyang City, two exercises a day, which was a little higher than the intensity of one exercise in the past three or five days, but because of the effective supply of food, clothes, shoes and socks were not lacking, and the subordinates were much stronger in the past few months.

He knew that the southwest was not as peaceful as it seemed on the surface, so that he could focus on urging his subordinates to practice, but he gradually found that he didn't want to do his best to supervise these days, and these veterans who were used to the battle were sincerely obedient to Wang Xingping, and even he himself had admiration for this young man.

Although he is still a boss, his morale is much higher than before.

Strange to say, the set of rules of Jierong Fort is quite troublesome, but Zhou Yiming realized Wang Xingping's hard work.

The barracks were no longer filthy and smelly, and the neat rows of houses were all made of brick and wood, and the inside were all new bunks instead of bunks. Everyone's bed has a neatly folded bed, although I don't understand why I spend time on such things, but as long as I can see such neatness during the daily rounds, it makes people's hearts feel refreshed, no wonder now I look at the spirit of my subordinates is much better, even the common fleas and lice are gone.

Wang Xingping once said to him, 'live and nourish the body, transfer and nourish the qi', status and environment can change people's temperament, and material devotion can change people's physique, only an army with a military soul can be invincible, and the shaping of the military soul first requires the soldiers to live with dignity and live like individuals. Although Zhou Yiming still can't fully understand the reason, the emergence of various past experiences still makes his nose a little sour, and he feels a little more grateful to Wang Xingping.

At first, he was worried about Wang Xingping whether such an investment was a bit wasteful, although he didn't have much financial concept, but just looking at the eyes of each soldier, the cost of each soldier was probably more than that of ordinary generals, and now it seems that just looking at the spirit of his subordinates are worthy of battle, so he thinks it is worth it, but he admires Wang Xingping's actions even more.

He was thinking that he had not yet made a contribution to Guizhou, and the military horn had already sounded.

Ding Deshui's voice echoed across the playground.

'All assembled! ’

…………

At this moment, in a Tusi village by the Yachi River, several Tumu of Liumu Zexi are discussing an important matter.

"How many years have it been, how do you remember that you have come to check what military field registration now?"

"Haven't you heard? The official army suffered a few more defeats in Liaodong and lost several big cities, which of the two capitals and thirteen provinces has not sent a salary increase now? Thinking that the old minister Zhang also had to deal with the imperial court, he rushed to the doctor to find out this old thing. ”

"Fart, do you see when Jia Pai Jia came to our Guizhou? I think it's just that the officials are holding back the bad water and want to take care of me. ”

"Can't you? Who doesn't know that we are the most obedient outside the water, not to mention that this Guiyang New Town is not lacking our help, and we will do it? ”

"You don't say that this city is okay, but when you say Lao Tzu, it will be full of ghosts."

Several nurtures gossiped, but they were not angry when it came to repairing the city.

At the beginning, I only thought about dealing with the official errand and sending the local people who did not deal with the ministry to work hard. Those coolies sent over are not the children of the clan, some are poor families with foreign surnames in the toast, and some are simply fugitive Han people who are attached to the toast, I thought it was a hard-working errand, and I had to tire people to death, but I didn't want the treatment of these people to be amazingly good - at least in the eyes of the toast masters, it was already an unimaginable grace to be able to feed at once, and there was a supply of salt water and tea in the summer, and the Wang family kid didn't know what he thought, and he didn't beat or scold the coolies. And during the time when he left Guizhou, his subordinates also followed.

As a result, after the city wall was repaired, the babies who were originally going to come back to farm and the Han tenant farmers fled to join the Wang family's military camp, and some even directly enlisted to serve as soldiers in the Jierong Institute.

Helping the officials to repair the city was forced to do it at the beginning, and now it has taken so many people in vain, how not to make people angry, thinking about this, I feel that this Wang family kid is very hateful, but this time he is here again.

"It's not enough to worry about the Wang family's kid alone, the trouble is that people have soldiers in their hands."

The venue fell silent.

After a long time, an old voice said, "Are you making a difference, what does this have to do with whether he has soldiers or not, the important thing is that we have invaded the military land?" ”

'Yes—' Everyone woke up from a dream, and this was the reason for this, so what if they didn't admit it? After so many years, the atlas of the field book has long been forgotten, and how can it still be found, at least it is not a word on the lips of their own family to find whether the field is invaded or not occupied.

"But we still have to come up with a charter, although we can check that there is no evidence, but it is inevitable to break the bank."

"Do you mean to be an official?"

"Naturally, the Ming people don't say secret words, I am afraid that the military land in the hands of you and me is not less than 300 hectares, and the annual production alone should be tens of thousands of stones, and it is also appropriate to give a price this time over the years, and it will not be checked every year, but the officials are looking for a reason to ask for money, so as to give some face."

"And the number?" One person asked a topic that everyone cared about.

"It shouldn't be too much, the total amount taken out by each family can't exceed two thousand taels." Speaking of which, although this amount of silver is not as good as Yicheng's production, it is coveted by people when it is more, and this amount is obviously within the expectations of each family, so they all promised to go back and prepare.

Three days later, in the Qing Army Hall of the Weiqing Acropolis, Wang Xingping and the Tumu of the various ministries arrived as scheduled, and An Bangyan, who came to hear the news, appeared in the Qing Army Hall together, and Jiao Yinglin, the commander of Wei Qingwei, was only on the side.

"You are all the lords of Zuo (note: the Ming and Qing dynasties are honorific titles for Tusi), Xingping is also here to follow the order of Zhang Laoxiang to check the military field, but it is for the sake of my Guizhou Province Antai, and I hope you will help more." Sitting in the hall, Wang Xingping tasted the best West Lake Longjing, and spoke without saltiness.

"Whatever the little general says, we can save all these things, but where does the score start." The Tomu of the Agobe was the first to sit still, and his family occupied the most military land north of Weiqingwei.

"Oh?" Wang Xingping glanced at the man and motioned for him to continue.

"That's it, although we are pastorizing the land, we don't dare to violate the law of the country, and each family has its own borders, but I don't know what this invasion of military land has to do with us?"

"I see, Mr. Zhang also heard that in the past, there were local officials who bought military land and the military camp was abandoned, so I supervised this affairs to dissect and understand, not this Weiqing Yiwei."

— It's not about you, it's about all of you—

Yang Wulao's heart was like a mirror, and his eyes turned around, "We have a register in the world, if the little general doesn't believe it, you can take it for inspection." ”

"So, do you know everything about your land? There is no such thing as any love and disadvantage? ”

"There is no such thing as General Wang said." Yang Wulao played a package ticket.

"Well, since the lords said so, I can also relieve the doubts among the officials, but since you are all local officials gifted by the imperial court, you still have to save some face, so we will change the method for this inspection." Wang Xingping smiled in an official tone, and immediately beckoned a few people in.

Wang Xingping looked around at everyone, and said: "I want to come to each family's land is more colonized than in the Taizu Dynasty, you might as well come to a self-declaration, each family will write down the number of acres on this form, and the position is fat, and the officials will have a basis in the future." ”

'Self-declaration? When the local eyes heard this, they looked at each other, but then they said yes as if they wanted to understand, and An Bangyan, who was only present on the side, kept flashing in his eyes, although he felt that there was something wrong with this matter, but he couldn't say anything for a while, and it was all because of Wang Xingping, a kid.
