After Liu Chengjun, Ma Xiong, Zhang Tanggong and others also took the stage to show their unique skills, winning a lot of applause. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the individual martial arts performance was over, Zhu Youhua ordered the generals to come forward to receive the reward, and when they approached, Zhu Youhua praised loudly: "Zhuqing is brave and martial, and I am very happy!" ”

"Wait for the praise of the minister." Receiving the emperor's appreciation, all the generals were very happy, and their heads were raised unconsciously. After they retreated, the chief instructor Liu Zhaoji knelt down to the emperor: "After the imperial camp drill, please give a lecture to the saint!" ”

Zhu Youhua nodded with satisfaction, got up, and announced majestically to the 10,000 imperial battalion pro-army under the high platform: "The half-year intensive training has ended, and you are the remaining elites after being screened and eliminated, and your physical skills are in the forefront, so from today on, you will be the official pro-army of the Son of Heaven!" ”

When the emperor's words were heard by more than a dozen loud guards, they exclaimed, seeing that they could finally become the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, they were all inexplicably excited, and sighed that half a year's hard work was not in vain, and they finally survived to the end and became a member of the pro-army.

Zhu Youhua quietly felt their joy, and after a while, he pressed his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.

Zhu Youhua said majestically: "The Son of Heaven is pro-army, the guardian of the country, the arch guards the imperial family, the protection of the emperor, the responsibility is great, and Wanger cherishes it!" ”

Everyone was thrilled and excited when they heard this, and they knelt down on one knee: "Thank God!" ”

Tian Cheng, the former eunuch of the imperial palace, whispered to Zhu Youhua in a timely manner: "Emperor, you can award a reward." Zhu Youhua nodded.

Tian Cheng immediately let out a pager: "Play music!" …… Reward! ”

In the midst of the music, the guards presented 20,000 taels of silver on behalf of the emperor, with an average of two taels per sergeant, as a reward for passing the drill.

Liu Zhaoji, Zhang Tanggong, Han Cheng and others saluted and thanked them in the music, and all the soldiers who participated in the martial arts performance knelt down together, and there was another mountain shout.

If you want to win people's hearts, it is not enough to rely on spiritual encouragement and empty pies, and the material treatment must keep up, otherwise others will not work for you wholeheartedly and serve. Zhu Youhua understands this very well.

At the end of half a year of intensive training, the shelves of the new army in a town were finally erected, and the officers at all levels were also set down step by step, and Zhu Youhua, the chief military officer of the town, decided to let Zhang Tanggong take over the post.

And he also participated in the training of the new army, in terms of prestige in the new army, not under Liu Zhaoji, he also commanded the original hundreds of elite guards of Fufu, and now they are scattered to the heads of each battalion as a military academy, so he is the chief military officer, and he serves on both sides.

As for Liu Zhaoji, he continued to serve as the chief instructor of the imperial camp with the rank of chief military officer, and was responsible for the training of the newly recruited 20,000 new troops.

Separating training from leading soldiers is also a way for Zhu Youhua to control military generals, Liu Zhaoji is in charge of sergeant training, and non-commissioned officers are cultivated; Zhang Tanggong, Ma Xiong, Han Cheng and others were in charge of leading the troops to fight.

The 10,000 soldiers of the imperial battalion were divided into three parts, of which more than 6,000 plus more than 2,000 auxiliaries (the auxiliaries were selected from the 20,000 new troops that had not yet formed an army) were organized into two battalions and one town, called "Zhongwu Town".

Zhang Tanggong is the chief military officer of Zhongwu Town, and the commander-in-chief of the whole army.

Ma Xiong is the deputy general of the whole army, leading the first battalion of Zhongwu Town.

Liu Chengjun held the rank of guerrilla, as Ma Xiong's deputy, and exercised in Camp A, which was regarded as a reward and appeasement for Liu Zhaoji.

Yan Yingyuan is the general of the second battalion of Zhongwu Town. Chen Mingyu held the rank of guerrilla and served as Yan Yingyuan's deputy.

Chen Mingyu, the word Gongchen. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, he was a native of Shangyu, Zhejiang, and an outstanding martyr in China. In the first year of Hongguang (1645), it was pushed by the people of Jiangyin, advocating righteousness to resist the Qing Dynasty, welcoming Yan Yingyuan into the main army of the city, and holding on for more than 80 days. The Qing army captured Wu Zhikui and Huang Fei to persuade them to surrender under the city, but they were unmoved. The city was broken, and he led the people to die in the battle.

In the previous life, the two were the most tacit partners, and in this life, Zhu Youhua still asked them to be partners, in order to maximize the combat power of Camp B! In addition, many of the officers in the second battalion are also the original Jiangyin township soldiers, and Yan Yingyuan will be more handy in commanding the second battalion.

The above is a military attaché, among the civil officials, Zhang Huangyan has the rank of Hubu Lang, serving as the commander of the loyal army, responsible for money and food, salary, propaganda and education, etc.

Chen Bangyan served as the commander of the loyal army, and led the supervision team alone, responsible for maintaining military discipline, recording military merits, and supervising the battle before the war.

The whole army participates in the civil and military forces, performs their own duties in peacetime, checks and balances each other, and in wartime, the general army is dictatorial and arbitrary, and the civil and military schools unconditionally obey orders.

The remaining more than 3,000 soldiers in the 10,000 imperial camps, and more than 2,000 plus 7,800 auxiliary soldiers were organized into an independent battalion, called the "Gongsheng Battalion", which was dedicated to guarding the imperial city.

With the rank of deputy general, Han Cheng commanded the Gongsheng Camp to protect the emperor, the battalion was calmed by Li Suiqiu, and the battalion supervised the army by Du Zhengming, the son of Du Yinxi. Both of them are patriotic youths, and because of their relatively young qualifications, they were arranged at the battalion level.

In the end, the remaining more than 1,000 soldiers were uniformly arranged to serve as instructors in the newly recruited 20,000 new troops, and they were led by the chief instructor Liu Zhaoji.

The other civil and military schools, Zhu Youhua also arranged them one by one according to the inspection results. After the list of appointments and dismissals came down, everyone was convinced, and they all knelt on the ground and shouted happily: "Long live the emperor!" Banzai! Banzai! ”

Seeing the vitality exuded by the military group he founded, Zhu Youhua was very satisfied, after all the setbacks, now he finally mastered a reliable military force, the first step to trap the dragon into the sea is to have water, this 10,000 imperial battalion land division plus Ma Shiying, Du Yingxi, Zhu Dadian, Lu Zhenfei, Lu Jiude, Pang Tianshou, Ruan Dacheng and other henchmen and military ministers, is he really rising to cross the sea to lead the water!

After the 10,000 imperial battalion was officially formed, Zhu Youhua was worried about the equipment of the new army, and in his plan, each pro-army should be equipped with at least four sets of military uniforms, military boots, sergeant hats, etc., including two sets in spring and winter. In this way, it is easy for the sergeant to change and wash, but it is really expensive. A set of mandarin duck battle jackets cost one or two and a half yuan, hollowing out the guards of six or seven provinces in the south, and collecting more than 100,000 sets of military uniforms, after equipping 10,000 imperial camps, there are still more than 60,000 sets, and after evenly distributing part of the water division generals, the newly recruited 20,000 new troops are temporarily divided into more than one set per person, and there is a gap of 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, which can only be ordered from the market, and a set of 125 yuan is calculated that it requires about 50,000 taels of silver.

The problem of military uniforms has been solved, and there are other problems, such as every pro-army, regardless of the soldiers, auxiliaries must be equipped with a sharp waist knife, which is a talisman weapon for close combat and hand-to-hand combat.

After apportioning the local guards, more than 30,000 were raised, which was enough to equip 10,000 imperial land divisions and 10,000 Yangtze River water divisions.

Although there are not many military uniforms, waist knives, bows and crossbows, lacquer, glue, and cow tendons in the guard, some can still be made up, and there are relatively few heavy military weapons such as leather armor, iron armor, artillery, and war horses. Fortunately, the rotten ship also has three nails. More than 11,600 pairs of cotton armor, leather armor, iron armor and other armor were collected.

Among them, there were more than 6,300 pairs of cotton armor, more than 3,500 pairs of leather armor, and more than 1,200 pairs of iron armor.

A lot of artillery was also raised, with more than 200 Tiger squat cannons, only more than 50 large and small Fulong machine guns, and less than 20 Hongyi cannons.

Fortunately, more than 100 large and small Hongyi cannons were also purchased from Macao, and the Imperial Battalion Army Division had a total of nearly 400 large and small artillery. In addition, the Yangtze River Naval Division also has more than 100 large and small artillery pieces presented by Zheng Zhilong, and the land division has a hundred more than 200 artillery pieces, and the firepower of the naval division can barely be guaranteed.

The others are easy to get, only the war horse is more rare, the south is not a horse-producing area, and the war horse is a military material, it has always been relatively scarce, a high-quality war horse is more than fifty or sixty taels, to say less than twenty taels, the most important thing is that there is no price.

In the new army of 10,000 imperial camps, there are only seven or eight hundred cavalry, more than a thousand war horses, or try to raise them by all means, they can only find opportunities to collect slowly, and they are not enough to replace them with Yunnan and Guizhou horses, although Yunnan and Guizhou horses are bantam horses, but they are known for their steady endurance, and the characteristics of Mongolian horses are relatively similar, and the superior Yunnan-Guizhou Yunnan horses can barely be used as war horses.

In order to prepare for the construction of the imperial camp and the naval division, Zhu Youhua spent a huge amount of money and grain, including 600,000 taels for the recruitment of 30,000 imperial camps, nearly 150,000 taels for raising troops for half a year, 400,000 taels for the purchase of ordnance, more than 300,000 taels for recruiting sailors to prepare warships, and a total of nearly 1.5 million taels of silver in the first half of the year. Zhu Youhua had to sigh that raising soldiers is really expensive! It's more expensive to raise elite soldiers! It's a lot of money!

The summer tax of the household department in Nanjing was about 3 million taels of silver, plus the original inventory of more than 1 million taels and more than 4 million taels of silver, of which more than 2 million taels had been allocated to the four towns of Jiangbei, Zuozhen and Jingying, and this was only their military salary for half a year, and most of the money and grain in the other dozen or so small feudal towns were still in arrears.

Since Zhu Youhua took control of the household department in July, all the money was embezzled by him to buy weapons to raise the imperial camp, and now nearly 1.5 million taels of silver have been spent, and there is not much left in the household treasury. Even if they don't rebel, when the Qing soldiers come, most of them will be the leading party, become the accomplices of the Tartars, and ravage the Han people.

If you want them not to rebel and not to surrender, there is only one way, strike first and strangle the threat in the cradle!

One less traitor town, you can give less money and food to the enemy, one less leading party, and if you defeat it, you can also loot a lot of money and grain, no matter how you look at it, it is a good deal!

In the past, there were no soldiers and no generals in his hands, Zhu Youhua could only choose to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle even if he was the emperor, he turned a blind eye to everything, put the envelopment first, and did not dare to offend those soldiers and bandits too much, now there are nearly 20,000 land and water troops in hand, huge ships and cannons, there is no shortage of everything, Zhu Youhua is not afraid of the challenge of any feudal town. Ten years of sharpening a sword, waiting for this day!

It's time to show his sword to those vassals, he's been holding back for too long for this day!
