Set up a camp, this is a blatant establishment of a private army, is it really okay to do so?

The last prince who recruited the army is still locked up in Fengyang!

Many people have some doubts in their hearts, but doubts are doubts, which can't stop their excitement.

Zhu Youhua said: "Since you want to set up a camp, naturally you can't always show yourself as a guard of the Nanyang Palace, you also have to have a formal establishment on the official side!" ”

"The Daming official army stationed in Nanyang under the Henan Metropolitan Division, this is your identity!"

Hearing this, everyone talked about it.

There are too many advantages to becoming an officer and soldier within the establishment, and the most obvious is that there is no need to hide your head and show your tail.

In the future, they will be in the capacity of the Nanyang battalion, not the guards of the Nanyang Palace.

Drills, training, and military camps don't have to be within the scope of Wangzhuang, they are now dignified Ming officials!

Although the name of the official army has been stinked by many generals, in any case, it is still very different from the rogue.

In addition to speaking well, the biggest benefit of becoming an officer and military officer is the improvement of the overall welfare package.

The original officers, although they were all in charge of the soldiers, did not have a formal official status, and could not be rewarded for their military achievements, let alone wear real officer armor, and ordinary soldiers did not even have a way to be promoted, and it was normal for them to lack motivation.

But now, the Nanyang Battalion has been established, and the officers, large and small, have become small flags, general flags, and even hundreds and thousands of general flags on the register.

As for why it is so easy to become an official soldier, this is not their problem, this is Zhu Youhua's business.

Nanyang City is also the location of the Nanyang Acropolis, after so many years, the guards have long been corrupted.

According to the regulations of the imperial court, all the guards in the Central Plains were under the jurisdiction of the provincial capital, and there was one guard commander, and the number of troops was less than that of the nine sides, about 5,600 people.

In fact, to be honest, the current health center has long existed in name only.

There are so many health centers in various parts of the world, there is not enough at all, but they are all reported to be similar, and in fact, they are all the result of officials guarding each other.

Just as civil officials did not dare to report the incident of thieves from all over the country to the imperial court, the military attaché did not want to be punished for this.

It's not that there are no Shangguan who want to take charge of things, but these two people have no way to have any impact on the officialdom of the current Ming Dynasty.

This guard concealed and boasted, and that guard too, if you don't learn from them to come together, the court must be the one who disposes of you.

This world is forcing honest people to become bad, and everyone is the same.

Therefore, it is not difficult for Zhu Youhua to release his group of people as guards.

Zhu Youhua just had an officialdom dinner with Nanyangwei's commander, and the two made it clear that they hit it off.

This kind of thing can't be slapped in the face, this is a truth that everyone knows.

If you don't say it, I won't say it, everyone is like this, what can the court do?

Could it be that today's Emperor Chongzhen can not be able to sweep all the guards of the whole country, then again, if his old man had that courage, the Ming Dynasty would not have come to this point.

Last year, Nanyangwei reported 4,900 soldiers to the Henan Metropolitan Division, but in fact there were less than 1,000.

Even these hundreds of people, most of them are the old, weak, sick and disabled who were temporarily recruited to make up the number.

Battle effectiveness? It's not as good as the outcasts who broke into the army.

The guard system pays attention to the united front in wartime and cultivation in peacetime, and it seems that there are no soldiers, but it can summon a million troops in the blink of an eye.

The foundation of corruption is naturally the fact that the military land on which the military households of the guard station relied for their livelihood was gradually encroached upon by the landlords and wealthy households.

As the gathering place of the Tang Domain, the Wei of Nanyang Mansion was even more miserable, and the military households basically had no land of their own.

There are not many acres of arable land at hand, and after a long period of peace, no one will still practice every day, and the reason why they can still maintain it is only because of that little salary.

The guards evolved into subordinates who served tea and water to the officers and did farm work, but they could barely make ends meet.

When the only amount of money that little money could not be paid, there were more and more incidents of military households fleeing that could not be stopped.

This is a common phenomenon in the late Ming Dynasty, and it is precisely this that Zhu Youhua took advantage of.

The court will not care if you don't have enough money, the officials of the court and China will only shirk their responsibilities to each other, and in the end, it can only be the lowest commanders of the guards who suffer.

Nanyang Wei's commander was actually taken aback when he heard this at first, but then he still agreed.

Zhu Youhua also knew that the reason why Wei Suoshang agreed so happily was not because he was subdued by his own domineering spirit, but because there were traces to follow.

The extra 3,600 soldiers of the Nanyang Battalion nominally belonged to the Nanyang Guard, but in fact, all their expenses were not the responsibility of the Guard.

Just like the Nanyang Mansion gave Nanyang a contract right to build a project in the whole territory, all Nanyang Wei needed to do was to fill in the name of the general of the Nanyang battalion on the guard roster, nothing more.

The civil and military officials understood what was going on, but no one would say anything, because no one liked to have nothing to do.

……

A few days later, in the military camp in the east of Nanyang City, the banner of Nanyang Wei was raised, and nearly 4,000 officers and soldiers were stationed here.

The people who came from the guard were distributing standard armor and weapons for the Nanyang battalion.

According to the rules, each guard has two thin and thick mandarin duck battle jackets, a pair of cloth armor, an iron helmet, and a pair of combat boots.

In terms of weapons, each person had a standard spear, an arquebus, and the officers were each equipped with a goose-winged straight knife.

Zhu Youhua stood on the officially set up platform, watching everyone happily line up to receive their belongings, but there was no joy in his eyes.

With all this rags, deserve to be so happy?

Indeed, the carefully selected things in these guards are nothing more than a pile of rags in Zhu Youhua's eyes.

Most of the armor was stained with a lot of dust, and some spears were even bent because they had been left for too long.

The goose wing knife is slightly better, after all, this thing is the most powerful in the Ming saber, with multiple processes and complex production, and it is difficult for ordinary officers to match one.

If it weren't for Zhu Youhua's coercion and temptation, it would be really impossible for the Nanyang Battalion to be a big and small officer.

As for the more than 3,000 bird's beak guns, not to mention.

These things were uneven when they were manufactured, and this batch was all arquebuses, which needed to be kept properly.

If you get these in your hand, you may have been stacked for a long time before leaving the warehouse, and it is possible to keep them properly.

Zhu Youhua ordered someone to try it, and there were only about 200 rods that could be used, plus Xu Shouhui and those craftsmen in the labor camp who repaired some of them, picked and chosen, and finally could take them out, that is, less than 400 rods.

The most difficult thing is not that the number of firearms is small, but that there are still a few difficulties in getting the firearms unit out.

First, there are not enough sub-medicines, and a lot of them have been moved out of the warehouse, but most of them have been damp and cannot be used.

In addition to the need to buy another medicine, there is another problem, that is, the Nanyang camp has not said that it is really proficient in firearms.

No one knows how to use the firecrackle in hand, so where do you start?

This kind of queuing and shooting artifact that everyone in later generations knows may be the key to turning over his salted fish.

The fourteenth year of Chongzhen was the time when firearms gradually replaced the traditional cavalry to dominate the battlefield in the world, and it was also the era when the Age of Exploration was in full swing.

As a traverser, wouldn't it be in vain if you don't catch up with this fast lane?
