As soon as Wang Yang and Wang Zhengzhi returned to Jinyiwei, they explained to their henchmen:

"Let people secretly kill that official, leave some clues to implicate those Xiucai, and then let out some wind and say that those Xiucai bought murder, and they must be sued to the county government, and then say that this matter is related to the case we investigated, and you can go directly to get someone."

"Prepare more ironclad evidence, cover up the truth at that time, make it an iron case, and deal with it all!"

"Yes, sir."

Obviously, it won't be long before these brain-dead people will have to spend the rest of their lives in prison, well, it's good to be sentenced to life imprisonment.

It is estimated that the head fell to the ground, and it is more likely that he will be injured and killed on the line.

Of course, this kind of trivial matter is not for Zhu Zilong to worry about. He is now more aware that military power is fundamental.

On the same day, we arranged to inspect the surrounding military household guards!

In autumn, the weather in the north of the Ming Dynasty is already very cold, and the north wind blows over, which makes people tremble. Zhu Zilong arrived first at the Haishan Guard!

Looking at the military households below, most of them shrunk into a ball, stomping their hands and feet, and they didn't look like sergeants at all, Zhu Zilong just frowned.

What's even worse is that there are 323 people on the military register, and the people present do not know if there are 250 people, six officers in charge of the team, and there are no 40 people in the first team.

It is that half of these people are still old and weak, all of them have tattered military uniforms, many of them have yellow faces and thin muscles, and they are wearing thin military uniforms, shivering in the cold wind, and even the weapons on their hands are rusty, and they have not been maintained at first glance.

Such a military soldier, if he is pulled out to fight, in modern terms, it is commonly known as the five scum of war.

If they don't drag down your army, thank God!

If you put it in the army, it is a complete waste of food.

When these people came into contact with Zhu Zilong's gaze, they were all numb, and there was no expression in their eyes and faces, it seemed that these people had been abolished. It's not much better than asking for food!

The only good ones are the family members next to the officers and the officers, each team has eleven or two people, most of them are young and strong, and their armor and weapons are quite complete, but their array discipline is also sparse, a typical rabble.

If the combat effectiveness of the military households is the five scum of war, they are at best double the five scum of war, and they are still scum.

However, what makes people speechless is.

Such military soldiers are already the most important combat force in the Ming Dynasty.

"TM, no wonder the Ming Dynasty fell back then. What a cheat! Zhu Zilong thought speechlessly.

Zhu Zilong was observing the military households, and the military households were also observing Zhu Zilong and the elite of the Zhu family army standing behind him.

I saw that behind Zhu Zilong, some soldiers of the Zhu family army were all young. Stout in stature and especially disciplined, they are clad in armor and stand with their blades in cold weather.

They lined up in five or six horizontal lines, with a dozen people in each team, and from every point of view, they were in a straight line.

Although the weather was cold, they exhaled a thick white breath in their mouths, but they were motionless, letting the snowflakes float on their bodies, all of them looked serious and looked ahead. There is only Zhu Zilong and everyone in front of him!

This kind of military discipline and military appearance made the military households fearful. I can't raise the courage to fight with the soldiers of the Zhu family army at all, compared with them, they are the two extremes that are obvious!

The thousands of general officers in several military households watched left and right, and they saw it in their hearts, and there was a comparison, which was full of taste.

After looking at the audience for a long time, Zhu Zilong said in a deep voice: "Everyone, why are you waiting for the military affairs in the fort to be so dilapidated? ”

A thousand households stepped forward, and said in a deep voice helplessly: "Back to the Hou Ye, training soldiers and horses need money and food, and the grain and rice in the fort are insufficient, and the lower officials are also powerless!" ”

Yes, the lack of money and the excessively large gap between the rich and the poor are again social problems.

Zhu Zilong sighed, the military camp in the early Ming Dynasty could almost completely meet the needs of the whole army, so the soldiers were strong and strong, and the soldiers were at ease. However, after the Xuande year, a large number of guards fled to the garrison, and a large number of tun troops were requisitioned and transferred to the garrison army, and the original tun land was transferred to Yu Ding for cultivation.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, it was generally filled with the army, and Yu Ding was allocated. The matter of the military household guarding the fort has completely become a burden, and it can no longer become an army!

The Ming Dynasty's guard system, with the military tun to ensure its self-sufficiency, by the hereditary guarantee of the source of soldiers, which is the same as the construction of the Corps at the beginning of New China, is beneficial and harmless.

This characteristic of the Wei system was adapted to the specific historical conditions of the early Ming Dynasty. After years of war, a large amount of idle land appeared in the early Ming Dynasty, and the government was able to redistribute the land, and a large amount of land was directly placed under the jurisdiction of the Wei Institute, and the military camp had full guarantees.

This is similar to the Taizu of New China, fighting local tyrants and dividing the land, which seems to be a cottage.

However, in the late Yongle period, the military tun system had begun to be destroyed. After Xuande, the occupation of the fields of the military camp by the guards and the cultivation of private soldiers have occurred frequently. That is to say, officials are not as good as the next generation, encroaching on the fields of military households, and corrupt officials have always been the biggest cancer of a country.

It can be said that the Wei of the Ming Dynasty existed as an economic basis. That is, if "the army is exhausted and there are no cultivators, then there is not enough grain." There were also more guest soldiers, and there were many people who sat and ate, and the food was even more insufficient. Therefore, it benefited from the people's grain, and also benefited from salt and grain, and benefited from the transportation of Beijing, and the system of the guard began to be destroyed."

Under the vicious circle, in order to support their families, officers not only carry food and wages, but also encourage the existence of this phenomenon, so that they can take advantage of this empty salary.

As a result, the situation became more and more disgusting.

Zhu Zilong was determined to fully understand the situation, so he explained: "Pass the order, from tomorrow, I will inspect all the forts and guards under my control!" ”

For several days, observing all the way, the more Zhu Zilong's heart became heavier and heavier.

The situation of the forts and guards was very bad, the tuntian fields were abandoned, the ploughing cattle were thin, and a large number of tun households in the fort fled, and the young and strong became fewer and fewer. There are potholes everywhere, and there are some mud huts and thatched huts on both sides of the interior, and most of the men and women walking on the road are ragged and shivering from the cold.

This is by no means a refugee camp, not a military camp.

Finally, when he came to the south of Jinling in Shandong, Zhu Zilong asked the people accompanying him: "I heard that there is a big iron mine near Jinling Fort here?" ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Zhu Zilong thought back to this place and compared it with the memory in his mind with modern times. It was finally determined that this was the Jinling Iron Ore Area in Shandong in the future.

In the 21st century, Shandong Jinling Iron Mine is a large-scale state-owned independent mining enterprise with mining and dressing, located in Zibo City, Shandong Province, under the Shandong Iron and Steel Group, and is one of the important iron ore raw material bases in Shandong Province.

Shandong Jinling Iron Mine has a long history of mining, and there are records of mining and smelting in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Before the liberation, the mine experienced predatory mining by the German and Japanese powers, which caused the mine to be devastated.

Shandong Jinling iron ore production, iron ore, iron concentrate, copper concentrate, cobalt concentrate, cast iron. Naturally, it is also an important place in Daming!

Of course, it is also an industrial area of Huangzhuang!

Zhu Zilong naturally didn't have the idea of fighting here, so he moved his eyes and thought of another good place. And no one has found out!

That is near the Grand Canal, not far from Linqing, but in the mountains of Dezhou hidden iron-rich ore, now the Ming official has not found it.

In 2015, the Planning and Survey Research Institute of Shandong Coalfield Geology Bureau conducted a special study on the aerial magnetic anomaly area in the area of Qihe River in Yucheng, north of the Yellow River, carried out large-scale high-precision magnetic measurement and joint inversion of gravity and magnetic profile, and circled a number of prospecting targets in more than 200 square kilometers.

Finally, in the deep mountains of Dezhou, a production area with iron ore resources of about 300 million tons was found.

Now that I know the historical process and have taken the lead, I should be able to start one or two in advance! -
