The "Zhu Mansion" of Huangzhou Mansion has been built, according to Zhu Shunming's ideas, the combination of convenient life and classic gardens is both atmospheric and convenient and practical.

Zhufu covers an area of not large, four or five acres of appearance, pavilions, pavilions, small bridges, flowing water, rockeries, ponds are readily available; The transplanted bowl mouth thick osmanthus tree is full of small yellowish flowers, fragrant and fragrant; Low flowers and plants spread throughout the courtyard; The spacious lawn in the backyard is lined with swings and children's slides, and the cartoon-style mural is particularly eye-catching.

"Wow, it's so beautiful, sir, we'll all live here in the future?" Chen Yuanyuan exclaimed: "Master, Yuanyuan likes ......"

Pushing open the door, the floor and walls of the room are paved with custom-made Jingdezhen tiles, which are smooth and bright, luxurious and atmospheric.

"Wow......"

"Wow......"

"Wow......"

The girls exclaimed and sighed from time to time, even if Gu Hengbo had seen more of the luxury of Jiangnan, he was shocked by Zhu Shunming's advanced arrangement.

"Sir, what is this white thing? There are also pipes to connect ......" Chen Yuanyuan is very curious about everything.

"Oh, that's the toilet."

"Toilet? Why does the toilet look like this? Can it be moved? How do you empty a toilet? ”

After understanding that this kind of toilet does not need to be carried and dumped, it can flush away excrement at the touch of a button, and there is no peculiar smell, and everyone is more curious and puzzled.

Zhu Shunming was annoyed by the question, and said, "If you want to know, you can go to Huanggang School to study." The old man opened the "Gewu" class in Huanggang School. After learning "Gewu", you will understand all these things. ”

Kou Baimen asked timidly: "Master, can the concubine also go to study?" ”

"Of course," Zhu Shunming said, "In Huangzhou, as long as you want to learn, everyone has the opportunity." Not only can you study, but you can also participate in work and do what you want to do. ”

………………

Zhu Shunming held a meeting at the newly built General Military Palace, which was attended by Liu Wenxiu, Wang Fuchen, Li Ke, Zhang Pan, Shi Xuanwei, Peng Canglang, and Lei Yan of the Intelligence Department.

"The recruits have been trained for more than half a year, and all of them have gone down to 100 households, and as long as they fight a few battles and run in, they can form combat effectiveness."

Liu Wenxiu is in charge of the overall situation and is responsible for the training of recruits.

More than 20,000 recruits were selected from the rogue captives, and after half a year of brutal training, they have been reborn and grown into qualified soldiers. As long as it has been tempered and baptized by the fire, it is a powerful force that is shocking.

"How is the training of the Forces nouvelles?" Zhu Shunming asked.

Li Ke stood up and replied not very confidently: "I have completed training according to the drill point." But there is no actual combat, and I don't know how the combat power ......"

Li Ke trained the hot weapon unit in Zhu Shunming's mind. Zhu Shunming is more skilled and enthusiastic about hot weapons than cold weapons. When it is not possible to massively expand the number of troops, it may be the best choice to train a strong hot weapon force.

Zhu Shunming nodded and said: "Find a few suitable opponents, pull the team out and do a few real battles." Firearms are played well, and it is much more convenient than killing people with knives and guns. ”

"What about the sailor? What's wrong with the sailor? ”

Shi Xuanwei raised his voice and said loudly: "Most of the recruits are northerners and are not accustomed to water. Our naval division has added a lot of warships, but there is a shortage of manpower......"

Zhu Shunming said a little strangely: "If you are short of manpower, you will recruit, and the military budget has not come down?" ”

Shi Xuanwei sneered: "It's not that you can't recruit people......"

"Why?" Zhu Shunming was a little strange. It stands to reason that on the edge of the Yangtze River, there are many people who know how to water, and it should not be difficult to recruit sailors. The salary of the sailor is higher than that of the army.

"People pay a lot of money......"

After talking for a long time, Zhu Shunming understood. It turned out that after Zhu Shunming straightened out Huangzhou Mansion, Huangzhou Mansion's economy developed explosively.

Economic development has led to the boom in the transportation industry. Various transportation companies and self-employed people have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, transporting Huangzhou's output to Wuchang, Jiangxi, Jiangnan and other places, and transporting raw materials and consumables urgently needed in Huangzhou from all over the place.

There is a great demand for ships and sailors among the people, and it is difficult for Shi Xuanwei's sailors to recruit manpower. After all, the army wants to fight, there are risks, and the military salary is still low, which is a choice that everyone knows.

Zhu Shunming was a little happy. The economy is driving social change, which has already affected the military, and the social order should change even more. The superstructure also needs to be adjusted in order to adapt to the development of society!

Zhu Shunming shook his head and scolded with a smile: "It's just your brainless." In addition to Huangzhou, there are many places where there are rivers, rivers and seas in the Ming Dynasty. Jiangxi in the lower reaches of Huangzhou is densely populated, and there are not many people who can't eat and beg around. ”

"Jiangxi has the Yangtze River, Ganjiang River, and Poyang Lake, so there should be a lot of people who know how to water, right? Why don't you recruit Jiangxi people? ”

"Zhejiang has many rivers and coasts, Qi Shaobao is recruiting troops in Zhejiang, and Zhejiang soldiers are famous all over the world. Why don't you want to go to Zhejiang to recruit troops? ”

"Peng commanded the envoy to and from Huguang, Shandong, it is said that the Shandong people are fierce, and the Liaodong people are desperate, why don't you entrust Peng to recruit troops in Shandong?"

"Ah......" Shi Xuanwei opened her mouth wide, looking stunned: "Can you still recruit troops in other places?" ”

Zhu Shunming's expression was blank, and he said: "How far we can go depends on how big our hearts are." Daming is rich and rich, do you just want to live a small life in Huguang? ”

"The sea in the south is magnificent, the grasslands in the north are endless, the Wa Kingdom in the east is rich in silver, and the desert in the west is full of gold."

"You don't want to dominate the sea? You don't want to step on the prairie? You don't want to get promoted and get rich? You don't want to have a few more exotic concubines? ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, we must zoom in on our goals, take a long-term view, and be bold. With guns in our hands and money in our pockets, what are we afraid of? ”

For the first time, Zhu Shunming showed his hideous minions and terrifying ambition in front of his subordinates.

All of you here are Zhu Shunming's hardcore henchmen, and Zhu Shunming is both prosperous and lossy.

Although Zhu Shunming acted arrogantly on weekdays, he was still under the framework of the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and he was only a little unruly.

Zhu Shunming's words today made everyone present breathe faster and their blood surged. Soldiers are fanatics, and no one wants to expand their territory, and no one wants to be in the sky.

"Swear allegiance to the boss ......"

"Swear allegiance to the boss ......"

……

Zhu Shunming pressed his hand, calmed everyone's excitement, and motioned to Lei Yandao: "Tell everyone about today's information." ”

Lei Yan stood up, calmed down his excitement, regained his previous calm, and said clearly: "Let's talk about domestic first." ”

"In June of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Chen Qiyu, the governor of the former five provinces, besieged the Liukou Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others in the Carriage Gorge of Xing'an Prefecture, Shaanxi."

"In July, Jiannu made a detour through the grassland and invaded Xuanfu, Datong, Huailai and other places. The imperial court dispatched Cao Bianjiao, who was besieging Liukou, to Xuanda to help. ”

"Somehow, the rogue broke through Chen Qiyu's encirclement, killed nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers, and fled to Shangluo, Sichuan-Chongqing, Henan and other places. The encirclement and suppression of the rogues fell short. ”

"In August, Chen Qiyu was imprisoned, and Hong Chengchou acted as the governor of the five provinces and continued to encircle and suppress the Liukou."

"In the face of Jiannu's entry into the Kou, the imperial court issued an order to King Qin, requiring troops from all over the country to enter King Qin. I heard that martial law has been imposed in the capital. Our spies in the capital haven't sent back a message for a few days. ”

"Outside of the Ming Dynasty, Jiannu entered North Korea and fought all the way to Pyongyang, forcing North Korea to agree to exchange markets."

"Jiannu also went on a hunt in the Mongolian steppes. Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar Department was driven to the Qinghai area, and almost the entire northern Ming Dynasty fell into the hands of Jiannu.

"Jiannu opened up the northern line, making the Ningjin defense line built by the imperial court with huge sums of money useless and losing its defensive role. Jiannu could cross the Great Wall from the north at any time and enter the interior of the Ming Dynasty. I think that this is not the first time that Jiannu has joined the Koukou, and it will never be the last. ”

"The boss sent spies to Liaodong and the grassland as early as the fourth year of Chongzhen, and today he can be familiar with the movements of Jiannu. It can be seen that the boss has long regarded Jiannu as a confidant. Ladies and gentlemen, Jiannu is by no means an itch of mustard, and we must attach great importance to it. ”

Lei Yan continued: "In the south, there was a sea battle in the sixth year of Chongzhen, and we have only received more detailed information until now. ”

"The pirate Liu Xiang colluded with the Dutch, burned and looted in Fujian, and the imperial court sailors pursued and suppressed it, and fought a big battle with the Dutch in Liuluo Bay, and won a complete victory."

"The main force of the imperial court sailors is the appeased pirate Zheng Zhilong. After the war, Zheng Zhilong's influence in the coastal areas of Fujian increased greatly, monopolizing more than eighty percent of Western trade and more than ninety percent of trade with the Japanese state. ”

According to intelligence, Zheng Zhilong's group has more than 3,000 large and small vessels, not including small offshore fishing boats. According to the deduction of the General Staff, the chances of our sailors defeating Zheng Zhilong's department ...... Less than 20%. ”

Shi Xuanwei was unconvinced: "You won't know until you fight." ”
