Chapter 168: Huaishang (6)
Seeing Zhu Cihong coming, Wei Yue and Li Gong looked at each other and smiled, and they had already strode up to greet them.
Standing in front of Zhu Cihong, the two senior military attachés stood with their legs straight and their right arms crossed their chests, and performed a new military salute that was common in the middle of the army.
Zhu Cihong glanced at the second general with satisfied eyes, both of them are standard soldiers, one is a general, the other is cautious and meticulous, thoughtful, and not afraid of hard work, and can do things very calmly and calmly.
At that moment, the left and right hands pressed on the left and right shoulders of the two generals, and shook them, but they didn't say anything.
"Your Highness, after sixteen days of recruitment, 38,659 soldiers, starting from the counties, and assembling in Huai'an, now there are 38,657 people...... Please proofread it by Your Highness! ”
"Okay, you've worked hard."
"For the Ming Dynasty, for the Holy One."
After some answers, Wang Yuan on the side felt very fresh, stared wide-eyed, and kept looking at Zhu Cihong and Wei Yue.
Zhu Cihong kicked him and scolded with a smile: "Learn a little, this is the rule!" ”
"Hey, I know, the minister must study hard."
Since the beginning of the fight, Zhu Cihong's "rules" have not been missing, and when this time is mentioned, everyone looks at each other miserably...... Well, it seems that it is the end.
Sure enough, Zhu Cihong said coldly: "What about the people in the Military Orders Division? Why don't you hurry up and remember the names, organize sheds, platoons, sentinels, and teams, issue them to the quartermasters according to their names, and then return to the camp according to the system? ”
"Yes!" Wei Yue awe-inspiring agreed: "The ministers will do it immediately." ”
Behind him, there are military and political departments, military orders, military quartermasters, military justice departments, civil officials and military generals, all gathered together, and there is already a little taste of tacit understanding between each other.
Near the camp gate, there is a long table lined up, and there are a lot of scholars selected from the displaced refugees, and they have tried it, as long as the conversation is qualified, and the handwriting is square and clear, they can be hired, at this time they are also wearing uniform robes, the ink cartridges are lined up, and the thick black ink is studied, and the inkstone is pressed with a thick stack of paper, and the generals are ordered to go down, and the military attache of the first level of the head of the shed and platoon chief with veterans comes in with the new army, more than 38,000 soldiers, although there are more than 100 registered people, but they are really busy.
These soldiers also registered their names during the primary election, and also checked the three generations of their ancestors, and they must have the shop of the old village Lijia, plus the parents pressed their handprints, so they are eligible to be selected, so at this time, they are very nervous with the expressions on their faces.
"A native of Shuyang County, grandfather Wang Zhong, father Wang Xu, villain Wang Jiarui."
"I am from Pei County, my grandfather Li Guoxian, my father Li Benchang, and the villain Li Desheng."
"Yangzhou Baoying people, ancestral ......"
On both sides of the wide and long barracks, there were the sounds of reporting the resumes of the three generations one after another, and Zhu Cihong listened to it with his hand on the side, and nodded frequently.
They are all natives in the Huaiyang and Xusi areas, separated by up to two or three hundred miles from each other, and they all know the roots, and they have the resumes of three generations of their fathers and ancestors before they can enter the camp to eat this bowl of military rations.
More than 38,000 people, each of whom was given a settling-in allowance of 20 taels, plus a conscription fee, this alone developed a small 800,000 silver!
It's not Zhu Cihong, there are really not many people in the world who can give up this money!
Originally, the Ming battalion soldiers had a silver of five taels or a little more, but when is it now? As soon as Zuo Liangyu Zhuxian Town was defeated, there was almost only the commander of the light pole left, and he sent rebellious soldiers to burn and loot them, and make the good people into exiles, and then the soldiers naturally appeared.
This is how the team pulled out, and after several years of hard work, it will not be able to recover its combat effectiveness. Zuo Liangyu can still beat Zhang Xianzhong in Agate Mountain and abandon his armor, after arriving in Zhuxian Town, he has never fought a hard battle at all, and the last battle was driven away by the Dashun army, and he was defeated by Huang Degong, the so-called 800,000 and a half million army in Zuozhen, there are tens of thousands of main forces, fighting, bullshit is not.
Now here in Huai'an, the generalissimo's palace has town soldiers, box soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, garrison troops stationed in Luxuntang, etc., and further down, it is necessary to prepare for the continuation of the reserve soldiers, reserve soldiers, etc., that is, in the countryside to recruit strong men, a training to pass the silver money, during the agricultural slack to concentrate on large-scale long-term training, once or twice a month to hold a small-scale short-term training, according to the reserve and reserve level, to the qualified people silver money or food, cloth.
That is, in the Huaiyang area, the folk customs are simple, the population density is also very large, and it is not as rich as the business development in the south of the Yangtze River.
In Jiangnan, the population density is the same, but it is impossible to recruit so many qualified peasant children.
After registering the upper file, press the handprint, this time, it can be regarded as officially becoming a member of the generalissimo's palace directly leading the town soldiers.
Next, it is to distribute items according to the head, the officials of the Quartermaster Department with their subordinates, according to the person to issue the card, one person and half, to receive military salaries and rations, salt and vegetables, together with the quartermaster after the card according to the seal, every month on time, with the card to receive the goods, according to the head of the person one by one to distribute clearly, there will never be a situation of empty quota and fullness.
In addition, the Military Judge Advocate General's Department can verify at any time, and there is also a reporting system in the army, if this can still make people successful in corruption, then Zhu Cihong can only admit it.
Received a pair of cards, and then a large package for each person, which is two sets of military uniforms with buttons, made of gray homespun cloth, the color is not bright, but the cut is shapely, there is a surname anxious to try it first, immediately feel that this dress is different from usual, and then there are two pairs of cloth shoes per person, a pair of leather boots, are very high-quality materials, peasant children, and all are simple and honest surnames, a try, just wipe with calloused hands, are not willing to wear.
In addition, there are towels, salt powder, lunch boxes, and drinking water jars, which are numbered with red paint, and each person holds one in his hand, all of which are clear at a glance.
In the countryside at that time, in addition to a bed, it was common for the family to not even be able to make a quilt, and it was unlikely that the children of the peasant family would make a new dress all year round.
At this moment, there were a few new clothes, as well as boots, all kinds of novel knick-knacks, and even the needle and thread for sewing clothes...... Many people's eyes are red, and the gratitude in their hearts does not need to be deepened.
Needlework is something that future generations may not have a concept of, and it is not a thing. At that time, it was not easy to have iron needles in remote mountainous areas.
In some places, there are small objects such as stone plows and iron needles, which are even more rare.
In the Huaixu area, of course, this is not the case, but the needle and thread are also serious goods trafficked by the merchants, and they can only be exchanged for grain and copper coins.
At this point, he finished receiving his things, and then according to the rules when he came, he honestly followed behind his own shed chief.
According to the new barracks system, a battalion has one person in charge and two assistants, and then a number of quartermasters, military judges, and staff officers, and then there are deputies for the team officers, as well as military attachés at all levels of auxiliary classes.
Even at the level of sentinels, this is the case.
At the level of the shed chief, there are 14 people in a shed, and there is also one shed chief, two deputy shed chiefs, and the salary level and treatment are very different from ordinary soldiers.
The [***] team has always had very deficiencies in the setting of officers and auxiliary military attachés, and the battalion system of the Ming and Qing dynasties is basically the same, and they all have the same problems. It is the lack of officers, and the low-level military attachés at the bottom and the officers at the level of sergeants similar to later generations are not only few, but even non-existent.
The town soldiers set up by Zhu Cihong do not consider any retirement system for the time being, but they also strictly distinguish the difference between ordinary soldiers and low-level sergeants, and then low-level officers.
At least under the generalissimo of the crown prince, all the middle and lower-level military attachés are fucking hard to do it, the current shed chief is all veterans, and most of the deputy shed chiefs are vacant, and there are already some active recruits who have begun to work hard secretly...... "The first standard and second battalion of the left association of Xiaoqi Town are all there, go together!" ”
In the long shouts of a certain officer, all the new troops turned around unevenly and began to walk towards the west of the school field, and all of them followed the example of the officers, holding their heads high, taking high steps, and smashing them to the ground when they fell.
Even these new soldiers were the first to enlist in the army for more than ten days, and the instructors were busy leading the troops, how could they have the kung fu to teach? It's just a rough way to teach them how to know how to return to the team, how to recognize their superiors, and how to recognize the team flag...... Rao is like this, it took a long time to put the whole team together just now...... These new troops, Zhu Cihong and all the generals around him shook their heads, they were really far from the appearance of a soldier.
"Salute His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Passing by the place where Zhu Cihong stopped, all the leading officers saluted in their chests, and then walked by without stopping.
However, the new army behind them, as soon as they heard that the thick-eyed and big-eyed young man in front of them was the crown prince, they stared wide-eyed, opened their mouths wide, and looked at the general intently.
At that time, the people were all big masters, and the people who raised the people were the Wenqu Xingjun, the emperor was the legendary son of heaven and the real dragon, and the crown prince was of course a serious dragon.
In this way, the queue was naturally more chaotic, so when a steel whistle sounded, dozens of law enforcement soldiers of the Military Justice Department holding red and black water and fire sticks went up with sticks, or shouted and reprimanded, and those who were really disobedient stepped forward with a stick, so the crying sounded, and those who dared to cry were dragged out on the spot, thrown on the ground, and beaten until the bang bang stick, there was no cry, and then enough to stop.
"Give the wounded dressing and take it down to heal!" Wei Yue's face was as pale as iron, and he no longer had the kind appearance he had when recruiting, it was Li Gong, who was also by his side, with his hands behind his back, and he didn't look at those unruly recruits.
"Twenty taels of silver per person, three taels per month for infantry, four taels and five taels per month for the horse army, and five taels per month for artillery," Wei Yue glanced at everyone, although his voice was light, but it was as cold as iron: "The food expenses are all paid by His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't want you to pay a penny, since ancient times, as a soldier, is there such an income?" If you don't practice well, you don't listen to discipline, it's just light to beat the military stick, go out, look at your shop, parents and relatives, do you have a face? Come, give me six military edicts from His Royal Highness the Prince! ”
