Fortunately, it is outside the city, otherwise there will be no more than 20,000 people in the school yard, and even so, there are many people standing on the main road and scattered in the hillside and river, in this case, it took more than an hour to start soliciting opinions, and now seeing Cai Fuyi, he wants to encourage morale and pull more people to carry out military training, Zhang Jing'an comforted: "Lord Cai doesn't have to be like this, first, the melon is not sweet, and secondly, there is not so much time to choose 5,000 people again, we want quality not quantity."

Although Zhu Xieyuan was uncomfortable, he was calmer than Cai Fuyi, he thought about it and persuaded: "Mr. Zhang is reasonable, since it is voluntary, don't force it to say again, the words you started to say are not loud enough, at most, you can bring more than 100 people, and you can't do anything."

Cai Fuyi shook his head and said: "I don't think about it, I just think how can these people be so unmotivated, the 10,000 people from Guangxi and Huguang don't say it, those people are originally picking, the rest are some tired and weak brigades, they can only defend a city, stand a post, and are not willing to fight, it is understandable, Yunnan and Guizhou are on the front line of counterinsurgency, and the two armies defending Guiyang City can be called the elite who have been tested in battle, how can they have so many people who are unwilling to fight."

Zhu Xieyuan was also a little puzzled, turned his head and said to Zhao Shujiao: "If you divide people like this, there will be 15,000 people to be distributed to Zhao Zongbing, will Zhao Zongbing feel difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, I hope that Zhao Zongbing will not be too strict with them, and everyone is physically and mentally exhausted, it is understandable that if they are asked to continue to carry guns to fight, they will not object, but now that the imperial court wants to take the road of elite soldiers, they have no choice but to do what they want."

Zhao Shujiao said: "The two adults don't have to look away, you only find 15,000 people now, and my 30,000 people are not willing to fight, the two adults should be better compared with each other, I will not deliberately be strict with anyone, everyone comes in according to their interests and specialties, the skills they have learned are good for their future survival, they will not know the good, but the two adults had better let them know this, if they don't learn well, they can't come to learn and pay money in the future, studying with me is to take care of them."

Seeing that Zhao Shujiao was so angry, Zhu Xieyuan smiled bitterly and said: "Since this is the case, let's divide people according to the list, but I don't know where Zhang Zongbing and Zhao Zongbing are going to start training."

Zhang Jing'an looked at Gao Di, who was only drinking tea on the side, and knew that Gao Di would not help arrange it, so he discussed it with Zhao Shujiao and said: "Guiyang City is a heavy land, money and grain are all here, and it is far away from the lair of luxury Chongming and An Bangyan. Zhijin is relatively close, plus several adults are here, and there can be no mistakes, so the 30,000 people of the last general and the 5,000 people from the new organization are stationed near Guiyang City to ensure that the road from Guiyang to Zunyi is unblocked, and the 30,000 people of General Zhao himself, plus the 15,000 people given to him by the new number, go to Zunyi to defend Zunyi and ensure the smooth road from Zunyi to Yongning."

Zhu Xieyuan nodded and said: "You have withdrawn the defensive army of Guiyang City, such an arrangement is indeed reassuring, but Zhao Zongbing said that his 30,000 people don't like to fight, and today he will add 15,000 people who don't like to fight even more, will there be problems with their own safety?"

Zhang Jing'an said: "Lord Zhu, but you can rest assured, last year the Ming army wiped out 20,000 Jurchens in the area from Jinzhou to Nanguan in Liaodong, and these 30,000 people under Lord Zhao are the main force, and now they have been stationed in Zunyi, making a posture of only defending and not attacking, sticking to the strong city of Xiongguan, and there is the Sichuan army stationed in the Yongning area in the north, and my soldiers in the south have Guiyang, as long as they usually send more rangers to patrol, there should be no problem, the simple houses near Guiyang City can already be stationed in Zunyi, and the general army of Zhao can just build more villages near Zunyi, and almost bring his wife and children, everyone can rest assured."

The next day, Zhao led more than 10,000 people to Zunyi happily, and the remaining 5,000 people entered Zhang Jing'an's camp with a nervous mood, and 20,000 people were left after screening, and only 5,000 were left around him, and the familiar faces around him were gone, and now not only could he not find familiar comrades-in-arms, but even the officers were expressionless strangers

It was nearly noon in the morning, Zhang Jing'an was looking at the map in the camp tent and thinking about how to arrange the more than 30,000 men under his command, when the Chinese officer came into the tent and asked: "Report to the general, may I ask how the troops should be arranged now?"

Zhang Jing'an said: "The old rule is that half of the people in the city defend the city, patrol the city to defend the yamen and warehouses, and half of the people outside the city train and patrol the roads to ensure smooth communication with friendly forces, and they all take one day off every four days and a half a month in rotation."

The Chinese officer asked again: "How do you arrange for the 5,000 new arrivals, most of them are the defenders of Guiyang City, let them go back to the original barracks to live, or let them set up camps to live with us?"

Zhang Jing'an thought for a while and said: "Give them three days off, let them go back to pack up their things and set up camp tents, and after three days, they will all live with us, let them follow the first guard to train and defend the city, especially to teach them to survey and map the terrain and propaganda to the local people."

The Chinese officer thought for a while and asked: "These 5,000 people are local soldiers in Guizhou and guest soldiers from other provinces, because the houses have not yet been completely built, and the families of our original army have not yet solved their family problems, how to solve their family problems?"

Zhang Jing'an thought for a while: "I don't know how long this battle will take, everyone should not have the idea of going home after the battle, let everyone wait for a while, General Zhao will build the village in the official field and the shops in the official shop, and then then everyone's family members can take it over, and those who are willing to take root in Guizhou in the future can be allowed to retire on the spot and those who are unwilling to return to their hometowns, even their families, you go to the magistrate first, and count the military fields and official shops near Guiyang, and requisition them according to our numbers."

The lieutenant officer was surprised: "Will they agree?"

Zhang Jing'an said: "This is the emperor's will, the military field and the official shop can be requisitioned if necessary, anyway, we are all taxed equally, what do they disagree with, this is still announced by Lord Gao and me, there is something Lord Gao will come forward to coordinate."

Gao Di was indeed coordinating, at this time he was discussing with Zhu Xieyuan and Cai Fuyi about the requisition of military fields and official shops, seeing that Zhu Xieyuan and Cai Fuyi were worried about this matter, Gao Di said: "This official doesn't like to go around, to tell the truth, the emperor has long known that you and your officers will not be happy, and he has long known that the reason why you are unhappy is that there is no private income, and he decided to give the officers a certain compensation."

Zhu Xieyuan said with a smile: "Shengming, but the Son of Heaven, this civil official can get a share of the benefits from selling the title, and the military generals can only watch the benefits of this army in the field suddenly become gone, and the soldiers and uncles are not easy to manage."

Gao Di said: "These people ask for money, they are good at fighting, but it is not very good, now they want to use it as much as possible, they are naturally trying to appease, and after a few years, they will naturally have nothing to be proud of, when the time comes, they will be obedient and better, and if they continue to be mischievous, there will be no good end, and the two adults must say hello to them first, so as not to make mistakes."

Zhu Xieyuan said: "This subordinate knows that it is just that the senior man will let go of such a big matter as rectifying the army and hand it over to Zhang Jing'an and Zhao Shu, will the power to teach them too much, in case something happens at that time, we will not be able to explain it."

Gao Di said: "These two people are people trusted by the emperor, there will be no chaos, besides, they are both outsiders, they have no foundation in the local area, what can happen, it is difficult for them to collude with the rebels and rebel."

Seeing that Gao Di said very directly, Zhu Xieyuan couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, Cai Fuyi said at this time: "We are not afraid that they will defect to the enemy, but we are afraid that they will be too young and mess things up.

Gao Di shook his head and said: "The two adults are bent on getting things done, the official understands it, but the assistance can be supervised, forget it, the emperor attaches great importance to this army rectification action, but the emperor doesn't want to see a situation where everyone is okay and there is no mistake, he hopes to get a model to promote to the whole country, so Zhang Zongbing and Zhao Zongbing have made a mistake, maybe it is better, the three of us are watching from the side, first take out the location and number of military fields and official shops and let them choose."

Cai Fuyi asked: "What if they picked up other armies, what should those generals who led the troops not jump up and make trouble?"

Gao Di said: "You may not know what happened to Zhang Jing'an's people, the official does not know what is going on with the people of Zhao Shujiao, the official knows, last year they repaired houses for the residents who suffered from the fire in Beijing, and later repaired the emperor's village in Shanglin Yuan, which was very good, very satisfying, and in the end they didn't say that they couldn't leave, and they came here as soon as they received the order, so you should rest assured."

Gao Di's words were indistinct, which made people very puzzled, but Zhu Xieyuan heard it, and he asked softly: "What Lord Gao means is that they are not building houses for the sake of their own occupation, and the official shops and official fields will not be occupied for a long time."

Gao Di nodded and said: "Their purpose is to build new farms and new settlements, and the residential areas in the city and the township will try to build some and will be given to other people to live in, and they will not only repair them, but also teach others to repair them, so your officers don't have to jump up and make trouble, they should be happy."

Seeing that Zhu Xieyuan and Cai Fuyi looked very happy, Gao Di smiled slightly and said: "You don't have to be happy, the whole world is not the king's land, the official fields and official shops in the whole country are all the emperor's Zhao Rate's houses, or the leveled official fields are all the emperor's, maybe you will say that the emperor can't manage so much, but the emperor is now using the big iron company to manage these official fields, of course, there will be a certain degree of cooperation with the local government, but the practice of your officers to collect rent and benefits in the military fields as before is probably gone."

Zhu Xieyuan said: "In this case, we will assist Zhang Zongbing and Zhao Zongbing to take out all the official fields and shops in Guizhou to repair them, this is a huge project, and they will probably not be able to finish it in a year or two."

Gao Di said: "This official is the five provinces, and if we don't change the fields of the five provinces, the three of us will not have a good life, and if we can't finish it, we will train people again if we can't finish it, and if we can't finish it, we will come to make a plan for ten years or eight years, what do you think?"
