"Wendeng camp thousands of general Wang Zheng, led the army to exterminate the two rivers of water bandits, because of the merit of the Ninghai City garrison, the post is five products, Gong Wei Jiaodong coastal defense, jurisdiction Jinghai, Chengshan, Weihai, Ninghai four guards and four thousand households, in charge of coastal defense."

Everyone else was just happy about this appointment from the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, but few people could notice that it was just a military attache of the fifth grade.

If it is a civil official of the fifth grade, it is amazing, this is just a military attache with a humble status, maybe in Wendeng and Ninghai, Wang Zheng's reputation is like thunder, if he walks out of this realm, then no one can afford it.

Not to mention other places, only the sons and daughters of the noble families of the north and the south, the military attache titles of four and five grades are hung everywhere.

A new garrison, even Ninghai's Zhizhou Wang Dele didn't pay attention to it, and only after hearing that it was Wang Zheng who succeeded him, he showed a surprised look.

This is true in close proximity, and it is not a big deal in other places, and many people don't even have a reason to ask.

It's not that Wang Zheng is deliberately putting on a deep show, it is precisely because he knows this, coupled with the deteriorating situation recently, that he has a deep groan.

There are too many things for Wang Zheng to worry about now, and this promotion is just a matter of course, and sooner or later it will happen.

The thieves wandering in the provinces of Henan and Nanzhili, the Qing army frequently knocking on the customs, and even the natural and man-made disasters in various places, no matter where they are, they are more eye-catching than the small new garrison in Ninghai Prefecture.

Looking at the official documents, Wang Zheng's eyes fell on "various matters related to soldiers' salaries and ordnance, the governor of Denglai, the governor of Ninghai, and the political envoy of Bu are preparing for contact on their own." On this sentence.

The reason is very simple, if the military attache is the commander of the army, the salary is like the seed in the hands of the farmer.

At present, the Ming Dynasty's fiscal deficit is every year, and even Chongzhen, who is the emperor, has no silver to pay, and I don't know if there is really a patch in underwear.

What is certain is that the so-called elite of the Beijing camp and the Jiubian Brigade are also like beggars and homeless, half starved and half full, and they don't know what year and month they are in arrears.

Where can it be compared to those Beijing officials, while sparing no effort to scoop up the silver, on the other hand, they are pretending to criticize the government, even if it is such a corpse vegetarian meal, it is all in the name of 'Qingliu' everywhere to preach praise, and Emperor Chongzhen is helpless.

The normal garrison also depends on whether it is pragmatic, and those who are not pragmatic are not much different from those moth-like civil officials.

The rest of the few who want to do something come out, like the previous Ninghai garrison Han Dahu.

When he first took office more than ten years ago, he was also in high spirits, but he encountered the same problem as everyone else, and they were all limited by funds.

Among the military attachés who are as serious as Han Dahu, they can rarely find a way to make money, and they have to send people to various yamen every day to send silver to dredge and make points, and the last remaining bit of silver to feed the family is difficult, and there is a shortage everywhere, so how can we revitalize the armed forces?

Of course, such as Zuo Liangyu, who is not afraid of the court because of the large number of people, once he is short of money, he will change places and plunder, compared to the king to compete for silver.

But then again, Wang Zheng is an abnormal garrison.

On the one hand, he has the power to command the army, and he can recruit soldiers and build a large battalion in a serious manner.

If this kind of thing is placed in the Wanli Dynasty a few decades ago, it is not nice to say, it is a military general who grabs power, deliberately causes chaos, and wants to lose his head.

Now as long as it is dredged up and down, it is harmless, and no one will check who did the Jiupin inspection in a small place.

On the Liaodong side, since the attack on Nurhachi and the rebellion, it is rare to hear of any victories in the conquest of officers and soldiers, and one by one the famous generals and governors either lost their heads or surrendered to the side.

The rule of the Ming Dynasty to unify the military with literature has lasted for more than 200 years, not to mention Wang Zheng, a small garrison officer, and even the local generals such as the general army and the general must be dispatched by the civil servants sent by the imperial court.

The permanent general army of the nine-sided town has long been an old tree, but it is better.

The generals on the Shandong side are like the camp officials of the Wendeng battalion, and the official hall of the Shuaifu is about to be demolished and replaced with the Shourong Mansion less than a year after it was built, so there is basically no independent right.

Although Wang Zheng has been in the limelight recently, and he is also a dignified five-rank garrison camp officer in the realm here, Wang Dele, the governor of Ninghai, is still extremely cold, and he didn't even send a domestic servant to pretend to ask questions.

However, after Wang Zhengsheng was promoted to the garrison and camp officer, he also had another convenience, that is, the salt soldiers under his command had a new identity, and they could go to the streets as officers and soldiers, and the salt control gate set up also had another more formal name, called 'checkpoint'.

......

After the appointment of the garrison officer was officially down, the people on Wang Zheng's side were busy and did not touch the ground, and the captains of the Yanding brigades in various places were recalled.

After coming back, he didn't stay in Wendeng for long, and immediately came out with Wang Zheng's paperwork, and everyone had a responsible territory, responsible for verifying the official fields, farmlands and camps of Ninghai and Wendeng, and the local generals were also very cooperative.

Guan Qingtian is also inextricable, he is the only literati in Wang Zheng's group, and he can't be busy at all, so he has to personally recruit a few scribes to help.

Running back and forth more than a dozen times a day, running around the yamen in the second mansion of Denglai with silver, Wang Zhengke is going to point to Guan Qingtian's gang, and they are also eager to use one person as two.

Dong Youyin and they don't know a few big characters, and they speak straightforwardly, so they don't understand these twists and turns at all.

Wang Zheng suddenly had such a large area in Ninghai Prefecture in his hands, and he was not in a hurry to take up his post in the state capital, but the salt trading and local rules in these places should be established as soon as possible, and they should know who the master is.

The number of salts in each place under the jurisdiction of the Inspection Department is limited, and suddenly there is an extra piece of land, and the manpower is immediately nervous.

Since the bloody battle of Chishan, Wang Zheng has greatly improved the role and combat effectiveness of Yanding, and feels that Yanding's training should also be grasped, and it will be of great use at a critical juncture.

But Shao Yong and Xing Yidao were both assigned tasks by themselves, and they couldn't get out of the way at all, so Wang Zheng had to go into battle in person, and issued a Yanding recruitment document a few levels lower than the standard of Wen Dengbing.

This can set off an uproar in Wendeng several places, and there is an endless stream of people who come to sign up every day, and Wang Zheng is also spinning, and finally grabbed the leisurely mountain out to help, which is better.

About seven or eight days later, the number of salt dings in Ninghai Prefecture was finally determined, and 2,000 local salt dings were recruited, and Wang Zheng and Gao Shan supervised the training together.

If you want to control the boundary of Ninghai Prefecture, the first thing you need is manpower, and the second is silver, these two things are the most lacking in Wang Zheng, but they are the most lacking in the previous garrison Han Dahu.

The silver that I started every month is not covered with heat and is spent like flowing water, Wang Zheng said that it is fake if he is not distressed, but these are all necessary, and the silver that should be spent cannot be saved.

I heard that Wang Zheng recruited people and made ordnance and armor, and sent people to inquire everywhere if there were any mines, and the guards and soldiers in the Ninghai realm and the literati and scholars all had the attitude of seeing jokes, thinking that this year, this poor place, even if the Wendeng camp was completed, you would be bankrupt, and don't think about the rest.

There are also many people, like Wang Zheng's top boss, the general of Dengzhou Mansion Youdong Road, who is thinking of picking up cheap.

"Prepare on your own"

The appointment document is clearly written in black and white, you can do whatever you want, but you just don't give you silver, you need silver everywhere, and you have to make a mess to the point of embarrassment.

This general thought it was quite beautiful, and he happily waited for the Wendeng camp or Ninghai Prefecture to make a rebellion, and then he would bring someone to pick up the ready-made.

He thinks it's a sure thing, so why not do it?
