The Ming army on the north bank of the Yangtze River conducted drills in the wilderness, shouting and shouting, covering the sky with dust, and the scene was fiery and spectacular.

Wang Yan galloped to the outside of the school, turned over and dismounted accompanied by the generals, inspected the training of the departments, he walked and watched, saw that the soldiers were all energetic, magnificent, nodded with satisfaction, and said to the generals beside him: "Yes, the harder the training of the army, the greater the chance of our counterattack on Jiangnan." ”

Dai Zhifan followed behind him, pressing the battle knife, "Xianggong, you can rest assured about training, but there is something that needs to be reported to Xianggong." ”

Wang Yan stopped and looked back, "What's the matter?" Let's be blunt. ”

"Prime minister, please follow the end of the future." Dai Zhifan didn't say, but led Wang Yan to the other side of the school field.

Wang Yan saw that in an open field, piled up with the armor of the Ming army, knives, guns, bird guns and other things, each of which was sorted and put together, more than a dozen scribes and craftsmen were checking the damage of these weapons and armor, and then classifying and transporting them back to the armory workshop for repair.

Wang Yan casually picked up a pair of armor, which was the standard cloth armor of the Southern Ming Army, nailed with iron plates.

This kind of cloth mask armor, generally speaking, the defense is weak, but the armor of ordinary soldiers cannot be made of all iron, the Ming Dynasty does not have so much pig iron, only generals of more than 1,000 households can wear mountain armor, and the low-level officers of about 100 households wear ordinary iron armor, and ordinary soldiers can only wear cloth armor.

Wang Yan picked it up and looked at it, and found that these clothes and armor were in tatters and could no longer be worn.

Dai Zhifan said: "Xianggong! The armies assembled to practice with this, but now the soldiers' armor equipment is seriously damaged, but it affects the training of the army, and the weather is getting cooler day by day, and the people and horses of Huguang are fine, but we are from Guangnan, and the soldiers wear more single clothes and armor, should we give the brothers war jackets and cotton armor? ”

As soon as Wang Yan heard this, his head was big, how much did it cost to change the outfit of this army, in fact, the war made the wear and tear of weapons and armor very amazing, a spear, a war knife, and a bird gun After several battles, basically it could no longer be used, and it had to be replaced, which was also one of the important reasons why the war consumed national strength.

The war costs a lot, not only the loss of troops, but also the consumption of materials, this weapon can not be replenished, and the soldiers cannot be left alone in battle when winter comes.

Wang Yan groaned slightly, "Armor and weapons, the prime minister has ordered Huguang to start building them, and in addition, Guangnan will transfer a batch of them, and the prime minister will try to keep the army as much as possible." ”

After hearing this, several generals on the side were relieved, and Xianggong said that he would do it, and said: "If you can make up for it, then this winter will be worry-free." ””

Wang Yan was thinking in his heart, last year, he led the troops from Huguang to Jiangxi, and then went south to Guangnan, the cotton armor of the soldiers was collected, sorted out and repaired, plus the production of Guangnan this year, there is no problem for the army to survive the winter, but the recruitment of new recruits and equipment, I am afraid it will be greatly affected.

At this time, Wang Yan, accompanied by everyone, inspected the barracks and found that there were no problems in all aspects of training, the only problem was the lack of equipment and materials, and the bird soldiers did not have much medicine for training.

The key to solving the problem, in the final analysis, is still a money word.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty became richer and richer, and the Ming Dynasty became poorer and poorer, and the debts were piled up.

Wang Yan took a turn on the school field, and the training of all the troops was orderly, and suddenly the command was on the stage, and tens of thousands of horses stopped at the same time.

Wang Yan was surrounded by more than 100 generals and stars on the general platform, he saw tens of thousands of horses looking at each other, looking at the expectant faces, Wang Yan waved his hand, and the general behind him immediately quieted down.

"Thousands of miles of Middle Earth are covered with filth, and the southwestern provinces are kept clean, so I am a Han soldier, fighting Sichuan and Shu, guarding Chu and Jiangxi, and tens of thousands of people with lofty ideals have become benevolent. Today, the general trend has been reversed, between Sichuan, Chu, Jiangxi and Guangdong, the gentry and the people rose up, the soldiers worked hard, united as one, and it was difficult to stop the general trend of the revival of our dynasty. This prime minister is here to fight fiercely, will choose a day to conquer, lead the world, fight for fame before his death, seal his wife and son, and fight for a hundred generations after his death, which is clear in the annals of history. Five loyal soldiers, Xiangchu heroes, should be encouraged with this prime minister to restore my family! ”

All the armies rose up together, "Seal your wife and son, and restore my family state!" ”

In the midst of shouting, Wang Yan was surrounded by the generals and turned around and walked out of the school yard and went to the military tent.

After the inspection, the generals were sent outside the tent, and they dispersed, and Wang Yan asked the guards to leave Dai Zhifan and Wang Shixiu to enter the account to negotiate.

At this time, Wang Yan sat down in the big tent, and the two entered the tent and saluted with fists, "Xianggong." ”

Wang Yan let the two of them sit down, and then said with a smile: "You two, Yangzhou follows me, time flies, and for more than three years, you are my confidant." I have a question for me now, and you two should tell me the truth. ”

The two listened, glanced at each other, stood up again as soon as they sat down, and saluted again, "Xianggong, if there is anything to ask each other, we must know everything." ”

Wang Yan nodded with a smile, waved his hand to signal them to do it, and then said: "Jiangxi has fought well this time, and the call of Jin Shenghuan as the Duke is very high, what do the generals in the army think about this?" ”

The two of them listened, their faces leaked with disdain, and Dai Zhifan said: "Jin Shenghuan is a general anyway, but he is just a native chicken and tile dog who defeated tens of thousands of green battalions, and he killed Mandahai by luck. ”

Wang Yan listened, and knew in his heart that it seemed that He Tengjiao and himself were not wrong to worry about, Jin Shenghuan was crowned duke, and the five loyal troops did not want to see it.

"In the Ming Army today, my Wuzhong family is dominant, Your Majesty has long been deeply jealous, and now that Jin Shenghuan has made such a great achievement, Your Majesty will definitely support it, and the duke's reward will be ironclad." Wang Yan said in a deep voice: "Although Jin Shenghuan is knighted, the prime minister can order someone to write to obstruct it, but in this way, if you offend Jin Shenghuan, it will also make other Ming troops think that the imperial court is not rewarded for its merits, which will inevitably greatly damage morale, thinking that the prime minister is jealous of the virtuous and jealous, and the five loyal troops intend to suppress the armies, and then Jin Shenghuan and Zheng Guo's surname may be my enemies." ”

When the two heard that Wang Yan did not intend to prevent the imperial court from knighting Jin Shenghuan, Wang Shixiu was silent for a while, clenched his fists and said: "Xianggong, then how does the imperial court plan to reward Xianggong and the five loyal soldiers?" ”

Wang Yan didn't answer, but asked: "You are in the army, Gao Yigong, Liu Tichun and other generals, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Wang Shixiu was born as a literati, and he did not have much in common with the generals in the army, and Dai Zhifan had a good relationship with the generals of the Shun family.

Dai Zhifan heard Wang Yan's question, and immediately said: "Bizheng and Feihu, I heard that Jin Shenghuan may be crowned a duke in the past few days, and during the conversation with the last general, it seems that he intends to let the last general persuade the prince to ask the court to be crowned the king of the county." This will also be very much in favor of this. If His Majesty confers Jin Shenghuan as a duke, then he should be crowned king for his merits, otherwise it will be an unfair reward and punishment. ”

People go to high places, water flows to low places, and it is normal for people to have the heart of Longwang Shu, Wang Yan listened to Dai Zhifan's words, and he already understood in his heart the attitude of the generals in the army.

The relationship between Gao Yigong and others and Wang Yan is not as close as Yangzhou after all, and it is not easy to talk to Wang Yan directly, so he divulged his wishes to Dai Zhifan, hoping to express his opinions through him.

Jin Shenghuan was named a duke, and the generals made a lot of meritorious contributions, but they were still marquises, and they were actually a head lower than the generals anyway, and they were naturally not convinced, only if Wang Yan was one step closer, they could follow further.

"You can tell the generals about this reward, so that everyone can rest assured, and the prime minister will do his best to make the rewards and punishments of the court clear."
