In the back of the Taizhou Mansion, Chen Di, Tang Shunzhi, Yu Dayou, and Qi Jiguang drank around the table. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Chen Di said: "Teacher, do the two brothers know why they invited you to drink today?" ”

Yu Dayou had an anxious expression: "Who knows!" I said Master Chen, no, third brother. In the past two days, I have been suffocating your brother and me in the mansion! There is nothing to do, just eat, sleep, sleep and eat all day. When you asked us to come to Zhejiang, you said that you wanted to fight the Japanese invaders! But now I don't see the shadow of the wolf! If I knew this, I might as well stay in Datongwei, at least I could fight Tatars! ”

Chen Di said: "Big brother, don't worry! The Taizhou garrison was weak and weak, and it was no match for the Japanese at all. The immediate priority is to form a new army. ”

Tang Shunzhi said: "It takes silver to form a new army. We are now empty-handed, and it seems that we can only sit and wait. ”

Qi Jiguang was also a little unwilling: "Yes, third brother, no money and no troops." It's really hard to move an inch without money! ”

Chen Di slowly took out 45,000 taels of silver tickets from his sleeve and handed them to Tang Shunzhi.

Tang Shunzhi took the silver ticket and looked at it, his eyes lit up: "Forty-five thousand taels? Where did the money come from? ”

Chen Di said to Tang Shunzhi with confidence: "Teacher, if you rely on me, a fourth-grade official, I won't be able to save 45,000 taels of silver in eight lifetimes. It doesn't matter where the money comes from, what matters is that the money is spent on the right path! What is the right way, at present, preparing for the construction of a new army to fight the Japanese is the right way! ”

Although Tang Shunzhi is not used to Yan Song's party controlling the military department, he is not a corrupt Confucian. He said: "Well, with this money, you can recruit people first!" But then buy military uniforms, armor, training, and military rations。。。。。。 Each of these is a significant expense. Since ancient times, the elite teachers have been piled up with silver! ”

Yu Dayou said: "When the war between Datongwei and Tatar was tense, he also recruited local Ding Zhuang. At the time of recruitment, each person was given five taels of silver, and after that, he was paid two taels of silver every month. These 40,000 or 50,000 silver are enough to recruit 10,000 people! ”

Chen Di shook his head: "The soldiers are not many but fine, I plan to use these forty or fifty thousand taels of silver to recruit two thousand soldiers first." ”

Yu Dayou was so shocked that his jaw was about to fall: "What? Two thousand! Do you mean to give twenty taels of silver to each person? ”

Chen Di nodded: "That's right!" As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under the reward. The more they are paid, the more they will serve. You tell them that if they are martyred, we will give them a hundred taels of settling-in allowance! ”

Tang Shunzhi became interested: "Raising elite soldiers with generous salaries is in line with the way of military management in the past dynasties." I would like to ask, what kind of talent is good to recruit? ”

Chen Di took a sip of wine: "This recruitment, I have set a rule, calling seven can not be recruited, three can be recruited." ”

Qi Jiguang asked: "Third brother, what are the seven unacceptables, three can be recruited?" ”

Chen Di saw that it was Qi Jiguang who asked, and he laughed secretly in his heart. If Chen Di hadn't crossed over, the recruitment rules of three recruits and seven recruits were first proposed by Qi Jiguang.

Chen Di said: "First, people who have been mixed in the market cannot be recruited, second, people who like to embroider fists and legs cannot be recruited, people who are over forty years old in the third year cannot be recruited, fourth, people who like to brag and talk loudly cannot be recruited, fifth, timid people cannot be recruited, sixth, white-looking people cannot be recruited, and seventh, people with stubborn personalities cannot be recruited!" ”

Chen Di paused and said, "Three tricks." First, strong arms and strong muscles can be moved. Second, people with bright eyes and more honest looks can be recruited. Third, I am afraid that the government can recruit them! ”

Qi Jiguang said: "Why is this? ”

Chen Di said: "Second brother, you don't have to ask. Recruit according to the rules I set, and make sure that all of them are good soldiers! ”

Tang Shunzhi didn't speak, and carefully pondered Chen Di's "seven can't be recruited and three can be recruited".

After a long time, Tang Shunzhi raised his glass: "Master Chen, you are really a young talent!" To tell you the truth, I'm not used to you recognizing Yan Song as your father-in-law. In these days of getting along, I can tell from your words that you are a person with great strategies! I salute you with this glass of wine! ”

Tang Shun drank it all.

Qi Jiguang asked again: "Since it is a recruitment, it must always be justified." Are we recruiting in the name of Taizhou Wei? ”

Chen Di's original idea was to get rid of Su Maocai, dismiss the old soldiers of Taizhou Wei, and then recruit troops in the name of Taizhou Wei. But now he had changed his mind.

Su Maocai and his Taizhou Weisho Army were helping Chen Kezhen make money. Chen Kezhen's money will be his own sooner or later in Chen Di's eyes!

Then just leave Su Maocai alone! Pigs are fattened to be killed! Wouldn't it be better to wait for Chen Kezhen and Su Mao to make a lot of money and take their money by looking for another opportunity to kill them?

Chen Di said: "Recruit troops in the name of Taizhou regimental training!" In this team, the commander is Brother Yu, the commander is Teacher Tang, and the commander is Second Brother Qi. ”

The so-called regimental training was a kind of township soldier system in the Ming Dynasty. Unlike military households, township soldiers are not hereditary.

Tang Shunzhi: "The group training system has been abolished as early as the Yongle period. Will the court approve of this? Besides, the commanders, commanders, and commanders are all military attachés above the fourth grade, can the people in the military department agree? ”

Chen Di smiled: "Teacher Tang, don't forget that Yan Song is my father-in-law!" He is now also the secretary of the military department! If he can't even agree to this request, then my father-in-law will be in vain! ”

Chen Di had already written a letter about the training of the regiment and the army, and sent Liang Erhei to enter Beijing in person and hand it over to Yan Song. Naturally, there was also a silver ticket of 5,000 taels in the letter. If Yan Song couldn't even do this thing, he would be an official for decades in vain!

Tang Shunzhi suddenly realized, it turned out that Chen Di recognized Yan Song as his father-in-law in order to realize his ambition to swing the platform state! Tang Shun had a little admiration for Chen Di in his heart.

Chen Di raised his glass: "I am a layman in leading soldiers, and the three of you are insiders." I just have to make sure that your military pay is endless, and as for winning the battle, it depends on the two brothers and the teacher! ”

Yu Dayou said: "Cough, we don't dare to say anything else, training soldiers to fight, how many years have our old Yu been doing, and we are experts!" ”

Yu Dayou is a brave general, Qi Jiguang is a wise general, and Tang Shunzhi is a resourceful military division, and this combination is seamless.

Chen Di said to Tang Shunzhi again: "After recruiting new soldiers, I estimate that the firearms allocated to us by the Ministry of War are about to arrive. Teacher, you'd better practice the 'Mandarin Duck Array' I told you before with firearms. The location of the training is not to be in Taizhou. Train troops on the spot in Yiwu. I'll talk to Governor Zhao Wenhua about this. ”

Tang Shunzhi asked: "Since it is recruiting troops in the name of Taizhou regimental training, why don't you train troops in Taizhou?" ”

Chen Di said meaningfully: "This pool of water in Taizhou is too mixed. The sword should be shown at the right time. ”
