Zhang Pan looked at all this in amazement, Dong Fanwei was completely different from what he imagined!

He inquired on the boat that this Dongfanwei is an island, but he never thought that this island was about the same size as Liaodong, what a big island!

Also, he thought that the garrison was a county like Liaodong, and there were all the people in it, but when he walked into the left guard station in Dongfanzhong, there were no civilians in it at all, all of them were Ming soldiers wearing uniform uniforms.

Is this still a tunwei, the uniforms of the Liaodong Army are not as neat as theirs!

There is also the structure of this city, just like a nine-square grid, divided into nine large blocks, in addition to the military camp is the school field, there is no other shops and houses!

There are also clean and tidy streets, as well as this neat and uniform barracks, all of which give people a sense of order, where there is chaos everywhere like the Liaodong side.

The herald led them directly to a school field closest to the city gate, and at this time, a row of tables had been set up on the school field, more than a dozen guards were sitting there with brushes, and a Ming general in chain mail was standing in front of the table with a team of soldiers.

As soon as the herald arrived, he immediately stepped forward and arched his hand: "Lord Qiqi Qianhu, two hundred and fifty-eight civilians from Liaodong are here." ”

The Qianhu nodded, waved him to step back, and then said loudly: "Everyone, welcome to join the Dongfan Zhongzuowei Zhongqian Office, I am the Qianhu Xie Zhengyang of the Zhongqian Institute, you should have practiced in the queue, everyone, follow my orders to line up in twelve phalanxes." ”

The twelve columns of the phalanx were the ones they practiced the most, and although the place was different, all the civilians were quickly lined up.

Xie Zhengyang nodded and continued: "Well, very good, let me talk about the rules of our Dongfanwei. First of all, because the four guards face the sea, pirates, pirates, and red-haired fans may attack at any time, so there are only guards in the east, and there are no civilians, and all of you must be turned into guards. ”

As soon as he said this, all the civilians in Liaodong showed surprised expressions, did this guard say that he could turn around?

Besides, they won't fight either, so what's the use of turning into a guard?

Xie Zhengyang saw everyone's surprised expressions, and continued: "Also, our Dongfanwei's guards are different from those in other places, and the general guards of Dongfanwei only need to practice regularly, and there is no need to fight, that is to say, the military department will not send you to fight, you just need to participate in the drills on time." ”

This is strange, the military department does not recruit guards to fight, there is no such rule.

Daming naturally doesn't have this rule, this is the unique rule of Dongfanwei, in fact, Zhang Bin reported it, they are still civilians and not tunwei, but, in Dongfan, they are tunwei, and they must practice.

What does it mean not to send them to war, but to train them regularly?

Xie Zhengyang continued to explain: "You don't have to fight, so you must pay the field tax, but the conscription is exempted, and participating in the drill is considered to be conscription. ”

This feeling is good, as long as the land is handed over, there is no need to serve forced labor, it is better than being a farmer, and all the civilians in Liaodong showed excited expressions.

Xie Zhengyang continued: "What I said earlier is the general guard, and the guards of the Dongfan Guard are divided into two kinds, one is the general guard, and the other is the soldiers, all of you can choose to be a guard and don't have to fight. If you want to defend your home and defend the country, you can also apply to become a soldier, the soldier is specially designed for fighting, and you usually practice here, you don't need to farm, once you want to fight, you will immediately go to the battlefield! In addition, soldiers are paid for food, and they are also divided into grades, first-class soldiers, one stone of food per month, three taels, second-class soldiers, one stone of food and two taels of food per month, and third-class soldiers, one stone of food and one tael of food per month. ”

The treatment was so lucrative that many young lads were starting to jump into it, including Zhang Pan.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Zhengyang continued: "Here I emphasize one point, the soldiers are completely voluntary, and you can all choose to be ordinary guards. But if you choose to be a soldier, you must pass the test, and you will test it every month, test the promotion of the best, and the demotion of the unqualified test, if the third-class soldier fails the test, you will be transferred directly to the garrison, anyway, there is wasteland in the east, which is enough for you to cultivate. In the future, if you or your children grow up and want to be soldiers, you can come to participate in the test. ”

It turns out that this is the case, a soldier is not something that anyone can be if they want to, Zhang Pan is ready to apply to be a soldier, but there is one thing he hasn't figured out yet, so he raised his right hand and raised it high above his head.

Xie Zhengyang saw that someone raised his hand, and he just wanted to hear what these civilians thought about it, so he immediately nodded and said, "Well, you say." ”

Zhang Pan said aloud with courage: "My lord, I want to ask, what is the reward if you are a first-class soldier in the test?" ”

It's a problem for a long time, Xie Zhengyang smiled: "It's very simple, the first-class soldier test is excellent and the small flag is directly raised, as for the back, the small flag is raised to the general flag or something, and it takes combat merits." If you have any questions, you can ask them, and if there are no questions, then you have to start testing and registering. ”

Everyone didn't seem to have any questions to ask, but there were a lot of young men who were eager to take part in the soldier test.

Seeing this, Xie Zhengyang nodded and said: "Okay, since there is no problem, then start testing and registering, if you want to be an ordinary guard, you can register one by one according to the current formation, and if you want to be a soldier, run ten laps around the edge of the white line on the periphery of the school field, if you can't run, or you haven't finished running for an hour, you can honestly come to be a guard, or come back to participate in the test later." ”

There are at least two miles in this lap, ten laps of running, that is, twenty miles, many young men who are eager to try are so frightened that their heads shrink, twenty miles, the goose drops obediently!

Eventually, however, dozens of young men rushed out and began to run around the school yard, including plates and pillars.

The registration proceeded quickly, and after about half an hour, the remaining 100 people were registered, and then they were led to the territory of the East Fan Zhongzuo Wei Zhongqian Office, and went to the house and land.

At this time, Zhang Pan had already finished running, and was standing on the school field panting.

In the end, miraculously, all the lads who took part in the test ran the whole course in less than an hour!

In fact, twenty miles, if you run slowly, these young men are fine, they just don't understand their state, when they just escaped from Liaodong, twenty miles, it is estimated that no one can run all, because they can't eat enough every day and have to work hard, and their physical strength has long been overdrawn. After arriving in Dongfan, they are different, because they have eaten enough and slept enough all the way, which is equivalent to making up for the overdrawn physical strength, and twenty miles is really nothing for those of them who have been engaged in high-intensity physical labor all year round.

An hour later, everyone had finished registering, and there were about sixty people who passed the test, and they were divided into six teams and sent to the barracks next to the school grounds.

After entering the barracks, Zhang Pan was once again shocked by the facilities inside.

The room is a large and bright room, a room for twelve people, each person has a bed, a small desk, and what quilts, blankets, buckets, towels and other daily necessities are all available, just a set of Ming army uniforms.

Just as he was thinking about it, someone said aloud at the door: "Hurry up, everyone put down the salute, I will take you to the entire barracks to walk around, get acquainted with it, and then go to the army uniform." ”

Walking down this circle, Zhang Pan was even more shocked to the point that he couldn't do it, there was almost everything in this barracks.

Not to mention what kind of canteen, thatched house, and bathing place are necessary, but there are also meeting halls, lecture classes, and study rooms full of all kinds of books in the barracks, which are just like the legendary Guozijian!

Of course, these were all thought up by Zhang Bin, and the station of Dongfan Jiuwei was also built at his expense.

He knew very well that in this situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he would not be able to clean it up without more than 100,000 elite soldiers.

To this end, he expanded all the Dongfan Nine Guards into nine Thousand Households of David, and also incorporated all the relocated civilians into the Tunwei system.

The so-called soldiers are actually professional soldiers in later generations, with more than 1,500 soldiers in each 1,000 households, more than 13,000 soldiers in nine thousand households, and more than 120,000 soldiers in the nine guards.

As for the structure of the garrison, he had never been to the military camp in his previous life, but he had been to the school, so he combined the military camp of the Ming Dynasty with the school of later generations to build a garrison.

If future generations of college students come to take a look, they will definitely fall off in shock, is this similar to the school!

Not only is the garrison like a university campus, but he is even preparing to build an army and navy lecture hall in the senior staff to train grassroots officers.

As for the personnel, it is naturally not possible to recruit all the civilians who have fled from Liaodong, and he has already begun to wantonly transfer Fujian Tunwei in the name of insufficient personnel.

All the people in Dajin have been "transferred" by him to Dongfan Jiuwei as grassroots officers, and the entire Dajin Institute is now a tun guard transferred from other capital divisions in Fujian, and none of his father Zhang Chengde's subordinates remained.

There are also Yongningwei, Zhendongwei, Yu Zhigao and Hong Xianchun's cronies, all of whom were also transferred by him.

There are also Fujian sailors, the elite of the Qi family's army, these have been slowly transferred by him in the way of retreating and returning to the tun, anyway, at this time the pirates have been exterminated, the Netherlands and Spain have also cleaned up, and the imperial court does not provide military salaries, so it is normal to disband all the recruited guards and let them go back to tuntian.

At this time, the castle of Geranza at the mouth of the sea was almost completed, and the three-story fortress stood majestically, and when all the batteries and artillery were fully equipped, it would become an almost insurmountable fortress.

The port next to the mouth of the Taijiang River has already changed its appearance, and the avant-garde station in the east has been completed, and the triangular area between the mouth of the Taijiang River and the port is tightly protected, so that even if the enemy army rushes into the inland sea of the Taijiang River, he will not want to occupy the port to get supplies.

On the other side of the port, a huge city was being built, which was almost the size of the current capital, and in the middle of it, there was also an inner city similar to the imperial city.

Of course, the buildings inside are not according to the rules of the imperial palace, but enter the labyrinth-like courtyard.

This is the mansion built by Zhang Bin for himself and his family, and there is a rather bullish sign "Governor's Yamen" hanging at the gate in front of it!

Well, the front of the mansion was indeed built according to the rules of the yamen, and Zhang Bin did work here during this time, but the back was different from the backyard of the yamen.

For his area was larger than that of any yamen, and he was full of pavilions and pavilions, and he was beautifully built.

Zhang Chengde's family, the Huang family in Dongshengtang, the Qi family in Qijiabao, and even Hong Xianchun's family all live here at this time.

That morning, Zhang Bin did not go to the front yamen to sit in the court, because he was arrested by his mother Huang again.

This is Xiaoyun's yard, Zhang Bin spent the night here last night, early in the morning, before midnight, Zhang Bin just got up to wash up, ready to go to the Yamen to rise to the morning hall, as a result, as soon as he came out of the bedroom, he saw his mother Huang sitting in the lobby drinking tea!

Zhang Bin was so frightened that he almost turned around and hid in the bedroom, but when it was too late, his mother Huang said to him with a smile: "Oh, the fifth girl got up so early?" ”

Zhang Bin hurriedly pretended to be serious, nodded and said, "Yes, I have to go to the morning hall at the end of the day, and I can't do it if I don't get up." ”

Huang continued to smile and said: "No need to go, I have already asked your junior sixth uncle to inform other officials, Lord Governor was overworked yesterday and was unwell, and today's morning hall was canceled." ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, his face was full of black lines, and he even remembered the allusion that the women's temple was not allowed to interfere in politics, this woman, as soon as she intervened in the government, it would be terrible, because most of them were not thinking about military affairs, but private affairs at home!

Huang saw him standing at the door of the bedroom in a daze, and couldn't help but coax a child: "Fifth girl, come, sit next to your mother, my mother has something to tell you." ”

Zhang Bin had no choice but to walk over honestly and sit next to Huang.

Huang's face immediately changed, and he said anxiously: "My fifth girl, do you know how old you are?" ”

Zhang Bin diverted the topic and said: "Mother, I'm so old, please don't call me by my name." ”

Huang didn't eat his set, but said bitterly: "Five girls, you are twenty-six, do you know?" Sixteen-year-old children are running all over the ground, and twenty-six are going to be grandfathers, you know? ”

Exaggeration, Zhang Bin rolled his eyes in protest.

Huang scolded: "Stinky boy, what are you rolling your eyes, is it wrong for your mother?" ”

Zhang Bin's face softened slightly, and the stinky boy sounded much more pleasing to the ear than the fifth girl.

Seeing that he was "honest", Huang immediately asked, "Fifth girl, when are you going to get married?" ”

Zhang Bin said in an old tune: "Mother, aren't I busy, is it okay to get married after this busy time?" ”

Huang shook his head resolutely and said: "No, how can things be done, you are the governor at this time, maybe you will be a scholar of the Ministry of War in two years, and you will be even busier at that time." ”

Just kidding, how can it be so fast, Zhang Bin opened the topic again: "Mother, it's not so fast, after two years, when I return to Beijing to report on my work, I will be promoted to a squire in the military department at most, and I have not been directly promoted from Langzhong." ”

Huang shook his head firmly and said: "I don't care about this, I just ask you, whether you will get married or not, now that Rong'er and Fanghua are living in our house, you are still procrastinating here, where do you put the girl's face?" ”

Zhang Bin actually doesn't want to get married, the main thing is that there is a big war waiting for him next year, he has to prepare everything, and he really doesn't have time to handle the marriage.

If, like later generations, he gets a marriage certificate and has a drink, he will definitely get married immediately, the problem, it's not so simple at this time, how can he be so casual when he gets married as a governor.

Just when he had nothing to do, Zhang Cha's voice suddenly came from outside: "My lord, Lord Wang Zheng Wang asks to see you." ”

Zhang Bin pretended to be shocked and said: "Liangfu, why did he run over, could it be that something happened to Yuegang!" ”

After that, he left his mother Huang and ran out of the smoke.

Huang was so angry that he ran to the door, grabbed Zhang Cha's ear, and scolded vigorously: "You stinky boy, don't you ask you not to disturb our mother and sister, you take my words as wind in your ears, I'll tell your mother to go." ”

Zhang Cha is wronged, I'll pass it on, what did I do!
