Zhu Youxiao didn't know if his brainwashing was effective, or how effective it was, after all, he was not a professional. But the momentum of the new army on the scene made him very satisfied.

During this period, Zhu Youxiao not only had to face pressure from the outside, but also had to face pressure from within, but the pressure from within was the most fatal thing for Zhu Youxiao, and if he wanted to reform, it would inevitably touch the interests of vested interests, and these vested interests were all people who held power and influenced one side, and Zhu Youxiao was even planning in his mind how to deal with the rebellion.

Because of this, Zhu Youxiao needed an army that blindly obeyed him, an army that absolutely obeyed his orders, and an army that could go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire under his orders.

During this period, Zhu Youxiao thought that the first thing he needed to strengthen the army was to absolutely obey his orders, which was fundamental.

The second is to be fearless to death, and this requires faith and strict military discipline to ensure that the new army can do this.

Zhu Youxiao believes that the strongest army of the Ming Dynasty, such as the Qi family army that swept for a while, their most powerful place is that they are not afraid of death, Qi Jiguang used the harsh military discipline to ensure that every soldier on the battlefield has the determination to die, either win, or die, there is no third way to go.

It was in later generations that the Chinese soldiers were able to defeat the Americans because of their determination not to be afraid of death; when he saw the memoirs of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Zhu Youxiao would be very moved, and the American soldiers commented on the Chinese soldiers: "The Chinese soldiers are the most terrible enemies, and they simply do not want to die."

In the history of China, all invincible armies represent that the generals are all strict in military discipline, and the soldiers are all fierce and not afraid of death.

During this period, on the battlefield, as long as one person retreats, if he ignores it, it will cause a chain reaction, after all, everyone is afraid of death, and the final result will definitely cause a collapse of the whole front. On the battlefield, there is no human rights to talk about, only a contest between life and death, so Zhu Youxiao demanded that his army be absolutely fearless of death on the battlefield, without orders, and never take a step back.

Zhu Youxiao believes that the third article in this period is well-trained. Only well-trained soldiers can improve their chances of survival on the battlefield and are also one of the guarantees to ensure the continuous victory of the army.

"Admiral Xiong, military discipline is the most important, and it is necessary to combine the military discipline of the Qi family army to formulate a new military discipline that is common in the new army." Zhu Youxiao demanded.

"No, the minister will make a revision of military discipline, and after His Majesty reads it in person, it will be promulgated by the whole army." Xiong Tingbi replied.

……

Leaving the barracks, Zhu Youxiao's mood could not be calmed down for a long time, although this army is still far from his requirements, but he also sees hope, and after being sent to the battlefield for training in the future, this army will become the army he needs in his heart, and this army can become the seed of the new army.

There is another thing that makes Zhu Youxiao feel very gratified, that is, the environmental sanitation of Jingshi has been greatly improved, and Zhu Youxiao finally heard the first sound after so much silver was smashed.

"Jingshi is much cleaner, is everyone's mood better when they come to the court?" Zhu Youxiao smiled and said to the ministers around him.

"It's really much cleaner than before, I don't have to cover my mouth and nose often when I go out, even my breathing is smoother than before, and the old cough seems to be much better." Zhao Yan, the secretary of the military department, said.

"That's good." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said. Zhu Youxiao knew that Zhao Yan would die of illness next year, and after he crossed over, he didn't know if he could let him live a few more years.

"The minister thinks that this is His Majesty's benevolent act, but a policy for the benefit of the people, and it should be implemented throughout the country." Wang Liqian said from the side.

"I also want to implement it nationwide, but now that the treasury is empty, I really can't implement it nationwide, so let's talk about it next year." Zhu Youxiao said helplessly.

Zhu Youxiao really wants to implement it throughout the country, which can greatly reduce the danger of the spread of the plague, and Zhu Youxiao also wants to learn from future generations and hold a national selection of healthy and civilized cities, but now there is no money, everything can only be thought about. I can't do anything without money.

Zhu Youxiao thought to himself, it is necessary to put the construction of the cement plant on the agenda, this is the only modern product that Zhu Youxiao knows the formula, as for the firing process Zhu Youxiao is not very clear, but it all has nothing to do, this can be tried continuously. What's more, the technology of burning lime is now very mature, and there is only a layer of window paper from the Portland cement that appeared in the 19th century.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao couldn't come forward in person, so he decided to find someone to partner in setting up a cement factory. What's more, he doesn't have the capital now, but there are too many rich people in Jingshi. According to Peng Sunyi's "Pingkou Zhi", the gold he received was about three-tenths of Houmen, three-tenths of eunuchs, two-tenths of hundreds of officials, and two-tenths of merchants, a total of 70 million taels. This refers to Li Zicheng's entry into Beijing and his one-time acquisition of 70 million taels of silver from Beijing through abnormal means.

"Baozhu, I have something to discuss with the elders, and I will invite the elders into the palace the day after tomorrow." Zhu Youxiao's first thought was Zhang Yan's father, Zhang Guoji. After Zhang Yan was named the queen, Zhang Guoji was named the Tongzhi of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, and later was named Tai Kangbo. Zhang Guoji is rich, and he is his father-in-law, Zhu Youxiao thinks he is the most suitable.

"No." Zhang Yan didn't ask the reason, but nodded respectfully.

"Baozhu, do you know why I want to recruit the old man into the palace this time?" Zhang Yan didn't ask, Zhu Youxiao still wanted to explain.

"The concubine doesn't know, but the emperor naturally has the emperor's reason." Zhang Yan said with a smile.

"Now the treasury is empty, up and down the Ming Dynasty, nowhere to go, nothing does not need silver, there is silver to keep my Ming Dynasty, I think day and night, I have recently gained, I remember that in a dream, the man of God had taught me to make a kind of cement, I want to find the old man to make this thing." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Cement? What is it? Zhang Yan asked curiously.

"Cement is mainly fired from limestone and clay, and it acts a bit like triad, but it's stronger and more effective than triad. In the future, whether I am building a city, building a road, or building a house, I will use a lot of materials, and I plan to set up a large workshop to produce cement. But I can't come forward in this matter, I must find someone reliable to do it on my behalf. Zhu Youxiao explained.

"But my father's current identity is Tai Kangbo, and he is the same as the governor of the Chinese army, so it doesn't seem to be very suitable." Zhang Yan said suspiciously.

"The elder of the country can resign from the Governor's Office of the Chinese Army, and this matter must be brought forward by the elder of the country, and when it is done, I will not treat the elder badly." Zhu Youxiao said.
