As soon as the pre-imperial meeting ended on the second day, Wu Jihei asked His Majesty to see him, and Zhu Youlang immediately summoned him into the palace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Quickly stepped into the main hall, Wu Jisi knelt down the mountain and shouted long live, full of energy, quite a moody attitude, Zhu Youlang admired his vitality, waved his hand and retreated the eunuch palace maid who was with him, and then asked him to get up and reply, and when Wu Jisi got up, he chuckled and said: "How is it, is the recruitment of the guards and pro-army still going well?" Are the people willing to apply? ”

Wu Jihei said: "The recruitment matter is surprisingly smooth, and 5,000 people have been recruited so far, and the minister believes that with the enthusiasm of the people, at most three or four days, about 20,000 recruits can be recruited, and then the emperor can calmly screen qualified ones to serve as guards and pro-soldiers." ”

Zhu Youlang replied, and reminded: "You have to let the Jinyi guard try to find out the background of each recruit, and you can't let Xiaoxiao mix into my personal guard camp, which will ruin my plan, understand?" ”

"Chen understands, it's just that where is the training ground for the recruits?"

"Aiqing is really thoughtful." Zhu Youlang praised lightly, and said: "There is a large school field in the east of the city that is wide enough to be used as a training ground for the recruited people. ”

"The minister still has something to do." Wu Jisi continued.

"Say."

"There are a large number of recruits, and the cost of rice during the training camp must be not small, plus the equipment training, the cost will be even more, I don't know how the emperor plans to deal with it?"

"It's really a big problem." Zhu Youlang nodded, now it is the end of the dynasty, the price of Wuzhou has risen again and again, a bucket of corn on the market costs three dollars of silver, a stone (a stone in the Ming Dynasty is about 188.8 catties) will cost three taels, when the Ming Dynasty is rich, one or two silver can buy two stones of rice, that is, in ordinary years, generally one stone of rice is only one or two silver, although the price of rice has fallen, but it is still so expensive, it is really ridiculously expensive.

A man in the prime of life eats at least seven buckets of rice in a month, and the number of recruits is calculated at 20,000, and it will cost about 14,000 stone a month, which is converted into more than 40,000 taels of silver. To supplement the oil meat, it is best to eat some fatty meat, but it is not better than later generations, in this Ming Dynasty, fat meat is much more expensive than lean meat, and now pork is one hundred and eighty wen per catty, and eight or nine catties will cost one or two silver, and then it will be a huge expense here.

It's no wonder that those generals only raise a hundred and ten henchmen on weekdays, and they haven't got any good equipment, and their food and salary are nearly 10,000 taels a year, and the 780,000 taels of floating money in the treasury seem to be a lot, but in fact, they really can't help spending!

Fortunately, the training camp was only one month, and only six or seven thousand people were officially hired after a month, so Zhu Youlang was not very worried, and the treasury deposit was temporarily supported, he smiled and said: "Aiqing doesn't have to worry about the grain and rice, I have handed over Mr. Zhai to be fully responsible, as for the armament of the recruits, Aiqing can take my warrant and transfer some to the arsenals of the guards in Guangxi for emergency, and if it is not enough, you can find some old weapons that have been eliminated from the treasury, and you don't need to care whether the front is sharp or not, as long as it can be used for training, After the guards are finalized, their ordnance, I will find another way. ”

The weapons of the Ming Dynasty at this time, especially firearms, were of very poor quality, and the state was relatively strictly managed. Except for the second bureau of armaments and soldiers, all military guards are not allowed to build without permission. If you encounter a border official to discuss, the Ministry of Industry can cast according to the number, if you make it privately, you will be impeached for bad intentions. After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the important town of Jizhen in the north, some advanced firearms could be made, such as bird guns, three-eyed guns, and other capital guards could only produce some general firearms, such as handles.

The management of weapons is so strict, and the quality is not good, Zhu Youlang went there to find so many excellent weapons at once? I can only think of a way slowly. ”

"How should the specific training regulations be formulated?"

"The drafting of the training charter, as well as military matters, if you don't understand, you can consult Jiao Aiqing, the two of you will participate together, the time is urgent, two days later, the charter will be drawn up, give me a look, I will delete and improve it as appropriate, and after everything is arranged, I will go to the school to watch the exercise."

"Obey."

Seongdong University Campus.

Zhu Youlang was dressed in a cyan dragging, slowly passing in front of the recruits, nearly 20,000 recruits, after a hurried look, his heart was generally satisfied, some of these people were yellow and thin, and some were even unclothed and unkempt, but their eyes were smart, and there was nothing oily on their faces, and they looked very pleasing to the eye.

"Wu Aiqing, Jiao Aiqing!"

"In!"

"First take them to the military doctors for a physical examination, and if they pass the physical examination, they will be taken to the mixed hall for a shower, and then they will be assigned to the barracks, and their heads must be washed to avoid fleas and lice." Zhu Youlang commanded in a deep voice.

After Wu Jisi and Jiao Lian received the order, they commanded the sergeants to lead them one by one to check the bodies of the military doctors, and found out that there were hidden diseases and infectious diseases, and after the physical examination, they took them into the makeshift open-air bathhouse to take a bath, and after taking a bath, each of them was given a set of brand-new cotton clothes and pants, flat shoes, and a boxed lunch.

As soon as they received the lunch box, the people couldn't wait to open the lid of the box, and the thick rice porridge in the lunch box was covered with a fragrant omelette and a few pieces of braised pork.

After everyone finished eating, it was not early, Jiao and Wu drove them into the barracks, and told them to sleep well, and everything would be talked about tomorrow morning.

The people who enlisted did not expect that they would be able to eat so well on the first day of entering the barracks, and they were very happy in their hearts, thinking that they might become a pro-army of the Son of Heaven in the near future, which was both decent and well-treated, and many people were so excited that they couldn't sleep, pinching their legs to see if they were dreaming, until the sergeant who was on patrol came over with a whip, he reluctantly closed his eyes, and then gradually fell asleep with infinite longing for the future.

After three or four days of deliberation and improvement, Zhu Youlang preliminarily set a training charter for the recruits, and one month is not too long, but it is a lot less, and the initial rough extraction can definitely be done.

The specific courses of the intensive training are six subjects: etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics.

Xueli is actually a brainwashing process, mainly to teach them some loyal and patriotic ways, the purpose of this is naturally to better control this future guard pro-army, and become his crusade against the unsubordinate, the sharp blade of the Tartars.

Xuele is to teach them some military songs and military salutes, one is to enhance the cohesion of the army, but also as a kind of relaxation, and the class time is relatively small.

Learning archery and imperial this piece is the focus, on the surface is to learn archery and horseback riding, in fact, it is to teach them martial arts and military tactics, martial arts not to mention, the professor of military battle formation alone is a big test for Zhu Youlang, in his previous life he was just a pseudo-military fan, and his understanding of military affairs only stayed on paper, without any practical experience.

For this reason, he decided to be conservative and completely imitate Qi Jiguang's training methods.

In his previous life, he devoted himself to studying Qi Jiguang's "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness", "Actual Records of Military Training", "Miscellaneous Records of Military Training" and other military arts, and he did not lack theoretical knowledge.

In fact, according to Zhu Youlang's view, in the current era, as long as Qi Jiguang's training methods are strictly followed, the discipline is strict, coupled with sufficient grain and grass, and excellent weapons, in this oriental world, it is enough to be invincible in the world.

Of course, some good things in the army in modern times and later generations can be slowly improved and integrated into the war after they have become familiar with military training in the future. At present, he has decided to train in strict accordance with Qi Dashuai's "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and "Practical Record of Military Training", and what is practical is the best, and Zhu Youlang believes that this is the most suitable training manual for his army at present.
