Of course, in addition to the five teams of Yanding, more than 500 people were also screened out from the large number of victims this time, plus the original veterans, and now there are 768 soldiers under Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng was still divided into four posts according to the four-four establishment, and the recruits were divided into four posts, as before, each post was one hundred and ninety-two soldiers, and if you count some drummers and standard-bearers, it would reach more than two hundred.

It is still Qi Shuai's method of bringing the old with the new, but the recruits are not able to train with the same intensity as the veterans, most of the recruits recruited this time are victims from all over the country, and they have been hungry for a long time, even if they are usually strong and strong, they must be raised for at least half a month before they can slowly increase the intensity of training.

Time waits for no one, and on the third day after the end of recruitment, Wang Zheng issued the first military order for the recruits to start training.

The camp of the Wendeng camp resounded one after another shouting orders, and then a group of soldiers lined up for drills, and the team of descendants gathered in the Zhuangzi outside were all talking about it.

Liu Daliang and several other sentinels did not go to greet Wang Zheng that day, in fact, after they learned the news, they were already shocked and worried.

No wonder they were so frightened, at the moment Wang Zheng held five teams of salt and four sentinels, a total of 1,500 people, not counting the local salt and salt sellers who could be summoned.

On the other hand, the fighting power in their hands is not enough to mention, in addition to the nearly 800 soldiers in Wang Zheng's hands in the Wendeng battalion, there are more than 200 people in Gaoshan, and the rest of the real power generals such as Liu Daliang are only more than 200 people together, and now the distance between them and Wang Zheng is getting farther and farther.

In fact, having said that, Wu Weizhong's help from the left and the right is indispensable, and Wang Zheng can also see that Wu Zhentai now seems to have some intention of delegating power.

In retrospect, it wasn't a surprise.

Originally, Wu Weizhong was not a local like Wang Zheng, and when he came to Wendeng Camp a year ago, he was also ordered to be in danger, and he just wanted to make a meritorious service so that he could be further promoted, so naturally he couldn't stay in the position of a camp official for a long time, and sooner or later Yang Wenyue, the governor of Denglai, would transfer him back to his side.

As soon as Wu Weizhong left, he naturally couldn't rest assured that he couldn't leave Wendengying, who had been staying for more than a year, or wanted to let his own people succeed him, and the best choice at the moment was Wang Zheng, who was born out of nowhere.

Recently, Wang Zheng also discovered that Wu Zhentai often called himself to the official hall recently, and asked about some major and minor matters, and even directly let himself make up his mind in some cases.

Wang Zheng just thought about it a little to understand the general idea, and he was a little happy in his heart, if he wanted to fight against the Manchu Qing Dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he naturally needed power, and the greater the power of the official, the greater the certainty of confrontation, and the position of the official in the Wendeng camp was also to be contested.

Since Wu Zhentai has the heart to promote himself to succeed him, there is no need for him to be hypocritical, although the two of them did not say it explicitly, they both understood their respective meanings.

Seeing that Wang Zheng had no intention of refusing, Wu Weizhong was relieved.

On January 20 of the tenth year of Chongzhen, there are still six days before the Spring Festival, the weather is getting warmer, and every household is almost ready for the New Year.

Wendeng is different from other places, now the place is peaceful, after Wang Zheng's inspection department moved over, it has become a place where salt and salt dealers from all over the world gather, and people come and go all day long.

Several Zhuangzi were also built in the surrounding area, some of which were inhabited by the descendants of Yanding, and some were used to settle the displaced people who had taken refuge.

Wang Zheng didn't explain these things, but some people of insight talked about it after chatting in the teahouse and restaurant, saying that it was a good deal for Lord Wang to collect the victims.

A fallen show called Xu Zhongyong, in a teahouse somewhere, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, so I said:

"Although the inspection of the nine products is small, the current height is something that ordinary state acquaintances can't do."

"Five teams of salt and four sentinel soldiers, the salt soldiers are scattered all over the place in order to control the salt road, and the soldiers go out to fight and make meritorious contributions and promotions, and they always maintain an advantage in his hands."

After Xu Zhongyong finished saying this, the people around him also nodded again and again, that Wang Zheng was stronger than the original Zhang Dacheng to the sky, with courage and skill.

Not to mention anything else, after the four teams of descendants were sent out, the few traffic arteries nearby were firmly controlled by Wang Zheng, and waterways like the Wulong River were the only way for Laizhou salt goods to reach Dengzhou, and the Inspection Department set up a permanent gate here.

To the east of Ninghai, except for the Chishan Salt Farm in Wang Zheng's hand, the rest of the large and small salt farms were approached by Yanding, saying that they were selling illegal salt.

In less than half a month, there was only Wang Zheng's salt farm in the west of Ninghai, but the Yangma Island in the north did not stop, Liu Bei went back and said privately with a few salt dealers in Jinshanzuo, with the natural danger of the bay, he wanted to secretly transport salt to Jiaodong.

I didn't think that as soon as I went ashore, I was blocked by the inspection department, and those salt sellers in Jinshanzuo were all arrested by Niu Pingliang, the big leader of the local salt ding in Jinshanzuo, a few days ago, and they were arrested by someone to Wendeng, and now they may have been parading the streets in flail.

Since then, the salt team of the inspection department in Jinshanzuo has been stationed along the coast of Yangma Island, and all the way is densely packed with passes, but all salt dealers or salt goods from the other side of the river, if they have nothing to say, they will be confiscated as private salt.

Liu Bei's Yangma Island Salt Farm soon couldn't make ends meet, and the salt goods produced couldn't be sold.

Of course, there will be resistance in other places, but since the day of recruitment, almost all the slightly larger poles east of Ninghai have been on Wang Zheng's thief ship, and everyone has benefits to take, as if they had been discussed in advance, they all kept their mouths shut and did not say a word.

The people who came out to make trouble were some unwilling single household salt dealers, these people came in groups of three or five, which was similar to the combat effectiveness of the water bandits and bandits, and even the local armed salt ding could be easily subdued, and there was no need for the descendant salt ding team to go out.

For half a month, the disturbances in various places were quickly quelled by the local salt leaders, and the corpses lay on the official road for several days before anyone dared to take them back.

These salt dealers tasted the bitterness, and no one dared to come out again, so they had to obediently abide by the rules.

Things are good and bad, not long ago, Longhe's descendants of the salt team frequently wrote to them, saying that there was a sporadic inflow of salt from Lingshan in Laizhou Prefecture.

Although Wang Zheng didn't pay attention to this matter at first, he still casually told Shao Yong to pay attention, and Shao Yong also patted his chest and promised to pay attention to this matter.

After a few days, salt sellers in Haiyang and other areas were also in a hurry, saying that the salt sold in Chishan has been getting less and less recently, because the salt goods in Laizhou have begun to flow in large quantities.

Wang Zheng suddenly realized the importance of this matter, and immediately sent a letter to the Yanding Brigade stationed in his salt farm, asking the captain to urge the salt factory shopkeeper to increase the amount of salt, and recruited a few more boiling teams to work overtime.

On the other hand, the number of local salt salters will be increased in the areas where the two provinces converge, and more than 20 passes will be set up in important places such as rivers to increase the intensity of salt detection in Laizhou.

In this way, now the local area is gradually stable, and the salt sellers are more relieved to follow when they see that Wang Zheng is doing things strongly.
