Wu Wenjie returned to the capital in this way, he didn't know that he was put on a position by Zhang Bin, he only knew that he had another enemy, an enemy more hateful than Zhang Bin.

After he returned to the capital, he naturally cried and shouted and begged his father to clean up Li Zushu and even the Marquis of Linhuai, but Wu Chunfu gave him a slap in the face as a reply.

What are you kidding, the nine-thousand-year-old Duke Wei is just concentrating on cleaning up the Donglin Party and controlling the power of the imperial court, and now he will go to provoke the nobles in Nandu, and he has eaten too much!

In May of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, the eunuch party began to arrest Zhishi and the deposed Donglin party members on a large scale, framed them, and wantonly tortured and killed, which had the posture of killing the Donglin party members in one fell swoop.

At this time, the eunuchs in the capital are rampant and smoky, but Jinling is calm and prosperous, because the eunuchs have not had time to reach out to Jinling for the time being.

On this day, in the most prosperous Nanshi Street in Jinling, a long horse-drawn flatbed car slowly appeared in the crowded street, the convoy is afraid that it is not two or three miles long, there are at least hundreds of carriages, and it is a relatively rare team to pull goods in the prosperous Nanshi Street.

This team is the delivery team from Dongshengtang, Funing Prefecture, Fujian, and the team is led by Zhang Bin's second brother Zhang Guan, not only him, but also Zheng Cai, Yang Geng, Chen Hui, Zheng Xing, Zheng Ming and others with outstanding qualifications of the younger generation of Daikin Exchange.

Zhang Chengde originally wanted to wash his hands of gold, draw a line with Zheng Zhilong, the pirate leader, guard the one-third of an acre of land in the Dajin Exchange, and be a wealthy local tyrant squire, but as soon as Xie Zhenggang conveyed Zhang Bin's meaning, he should immediately change his mind.

It's not that he is overly superstitious about Zhang Bin, but mainly that Zhang Bin told him that the traitorous eunuch Wei Zhongxian is about to take power, and troubled times are coming!

The traitorous eunuch Wang Zhen took power, which led to the invasion of the Mengyuan Wa Thorn Division, chaos in the north, and the destruction of life.

The traitorous eunuch Liu Jin was in power, the Mengyuan and Tatar tribes took the opportunity to invade the Ming Dynasty, and the coastal pirates rose, the world was in chaos, and the people were miserable.

Zhang Chengde naturally knew that the traitorous eunuch Wei Zhongxian was going to take power at this time, and he also knew, but he didn't connect these things together.

As soon as Zhang Bin reminded him, he understood that after Wei Zhongxian's fooling around, Daming would definitely experience another catastrophe in troubled times.

Zhang Bin is right, in the troubled times, being an honest rich man is looking for death, continuing to cooperate with Zheng Zhilong, and constantly expanding his strength is the way to save his life.

Therefore, Zhang Chengde accepted Zhang Bin's suggestion and continued to cooperate with Zheng Zhilong to operate Dongshengtang and expand his own power.

Originally, when Zheng Zhilong borrowed someone from him to lead the troops to fight, he didn't want to participate, but he just let a few hundred households under his command to mix in by himself, but now he didn't think so, he was ready to send his second son Zhang Guan to control Zheng Zhilong's pirate army!

This idea frightened Zhang Bin, his second brother went to be a pirate leader, his father really dared to think about it, if this was found out, it would be a big trouble.

However, when he thought about it, he was relieved.

At this time, the management of the guard is very chaotic, not to mention his second brother, who does not count the number of Yu Ding, even if it is his eldest brother, as long as he should not be levied to fight a few battles for the imperial court, the ghost knows who he is.

Of course, it is not excluded that people who know him well will denounce him, but when his second brother appears at the front desk, he should have already "persuaded Zheng Zhilong" to surrender, and it can be said that his second brother is a trick into the pirates or something.

In short, in order to control Zheng Zhilong's gang of pirates, this risk is still worth taking.

The Dongshengtang branch on this side of Nanshi Street had already prepared everything according to Zhang Bin's plan, and the convoy didn't even stop here, they unloaded some goods, loaded some more goods, and then rushed to Dingyuan non-stop.

When they arrived at the branch of Dingyuan County, they also unloaded some goods, and then loaded some grain or something, and then turned around and rushed to Qijiabao, as if they were going to do business, and it seemed that they were going to park the carriage, anyway, they had a way, who cares.

Less than three days after these hundreds of people arrived at Qijiabao, Zhang Bin rushed over with Zhang Cha and a few other relatives, he will command these people to fight in the future, naturally he wants to be familiar with the Mandarin Duck Formation, and more importantly, he also wants to understand how the Qi family army is trained through observation, if this method can be mastered and promoted, then the Ming army will be invincible in the world!

This training is not so simple, especially it is extremely difficult to train an invincible iron army like the Qi family's army.

Zhang Bin observed and studied for several days in combination with the "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and "Record of Military Training", and even participated in several drills in person, before he saw a little bit of skin.

He found that the training of the Qi family army was quite strict, whether it was the cooperation of the mandarin duck array or the mastery of their own weapons by various arms.

For example, archers, the target is shot at a distance of 80 paces, the target is six feet high and two feet wide, and two out of every three arrows are qualified.

Another example is the pikeman, each pikeman must be proficient in techniques, footwork, body techniques, advance and retreat and other skills, the most important thing is to practice the head, set up a wooden target twenty steps away, the target is five feet high, eight inches wide, five holes are opened on the target to represent the human eye, throat, heart, waist, feet five places, each hole is installed a diameter of one inch wooden ball in the inside. Then the pikemen stood twenty paces away and listened to the command of the drum, and as soon as the drum sounded, he flew towards the wooden target, and only if he could successfully poke the ball in the five holes was qualified.

The cooperation between these individual skills and the mandarin duck array is not just practice, it will be inspected every half month, and those who fail the inspection will be whipped, and if they fail to pass the inspection, they will be whipped three times, and they will get out of the way!

What are the standards of physical training such as weight-bearing running, sprinting, jogging, etc., which are not up to standard.

In short, the final effect to be achieved is that when the squad leader gives an order, each team member must quickly make corresponding tactical moves, and they must be fast and accurate, and then upward, ten squads or even hundreds of squads must complete any instructions they receive.

In this way, the generals and soldiers of the army at all levels cooperate like a sophisticated machine, and they are naturally invincible when they start a war.

However, the requirements for generals and soldiers at all levels are also quite high, and ordinary guards will not be able to meet the requirements without training for a few years.

No wonder in the first year of the Apocalypse, after the last elite of the Qi family's army was wiped out, no one could drill such an invincible iron army, the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty, who had the leisure to catch an army to practice for a few years, plus the quality of the guards at the end of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to practice, you have to listen to you.

Zhang Guan's hundreds of people can be regarded as elite in the guards, and the drills are all bitter, if it weren't for the good relationship between the top and bottom of the Dajin Institute, if it were not the kind of thousands of households or commanders who squeezed the guards, you caught people practicing so hard, and it would be strange if people didn't pee on your face!

After practicing like this for a month, it is naturally impossible for Zhang Guan's group of people to reach the standards of the Qi family's army, but they have almost mastered the method, as long as they go back and continue to practice according to this method.

Zhang Bin spent almost half of the time in Qijiabao this month, and through this half-month observation and study, he not only mastered the method of drilling, but even had new ideas.

He thought of the professional soldiers of later generations, such as the Qi family army or the white pole soldiers of the Sichuan army, which had actually been out of the category of guards, a bit similar to the professional soldiers of later generations, if the Ming Dynasty could train a professional army, even if there were only about 100,000 people, it would definitely not be a problem to deal with the peasant rebel army and Houjin.

He decided to compile a military book based on the "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness", "Record of Military Training" and what he had seen and heard in later generations, and the name of this military book was tentatively set as "Introduction to the Drill of the New Army of the Ming Dynasty."
