That night, Zhu Youzhen secretly summoned Hao Yongzhong's generals as usual and announced the decision to reorganize. The Qin soldiers of Qingyang www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion were reorganized into the Third Regiment of the Qin Soldiers, the commander of which was of course Hao Yongzhong, and was awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel according to his military exploits. Unlike the 1st and 2nd Regiments, most of Hao Yongzhong's subordinates were with him who broke away from the old troops that broke into the camp, and they not only had outstanding military achievements, but also knew each other well, so it was much easier to appoint officers.

As for the plan for the resumption of operations, Zhu Youzhen strictly instructed Hao Yongzhong not to leak it, and only he knew about it. When the battle plan is finalized, it will be temporarily announced to the participating troops. Because the most basic premise for the success of this plan is suddenness, if the secret is accidentally leaked, then the battle will not be fought.

Another characteristic of the 3rd Regiment is that it is a strong force. Hao Yongzhong originally had only 1,500 Qin soldiers under his command, but he was born as a thief in the past, and he had some appeal among the thieves. Many thieves wanted to surrender to the official army, but they were afraid that Hong Chengchou would kill and surrender, so they all came to Hao Yongzhong. Hao Yongzhong basically did not refuse to come, and now there are more than 7,000 Ma Bujun.

With a strength of more than 7,000 people, it stands to reason that it can already be organized into a division. However, in order to maintain the rules of the Qin army system, Zhu Youzhen still organized it into a reinforced regiment. However, this reinforced regiment has 16 battalions, including seven infantry battalions, five cavalry battalions, and one artillery battalion, one engineer battalion, one reconnaissance battalion, and one vehicle battalion.

According to Zhu Youzhen's plan to expand the army, 6,000 troops in each of the five regiments is enough, and now the third regiment has exceeded its task.

However, what worries Zhu Youzhen is whether the Third Regiment will have lax military discipline because of the uneven supply of soldiers. He knows Hao Yongzhong himself well, and he is not worried, but for Hao Yongzhong's subordinates, Zhu Youzhen is a little worried. After all, there are nearly 10,000 people, and there are several places where they are stationed, and Hao Yongzhong can't always keep an eye on them, will these people secretly do something that damages the image of Qin Bing?

Therefore, the next morning, Zhu Youzhen said that he was not feeling well, so he no longer followed Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru to Guyuan. The two were also happy not to be under the control of him, so they soon went west to Guyuan under the protection of a cavalry company of the Third Regiment.

Zhu Youzhen explained the general plan for training and Tuntian to Hao Yongzhong and asked him to do it. He said that because it was the first time he came to Qingyang, he wanted to play nearby. He has the protection of the third battalion of the first regiment and the special combat team, so the third regiment does not have to worry about it. Hao Yongzhong's affairs in the army were indeed busy, so he agreed without much thought.

Zhu Youzhen dressed up in disguise, changed into civilian clothes, and under the strict protection of dozens of plainclothes special combat personnel, he first went to the market of Qingyang Mansion for a walk.

The administrative divisions of the Ming Dynasty were roughly divided into three levels, and the highest level was the Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, which was actually the "province" in the previous life. The country is divided into two Beijing and thirteen political envoys, the two Beijing are Beijing (North Zhili) and Nanjing (South Zhili), and the thirteen divisions include Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Huguang, Sichuan, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou.

Below the "division" is the "prefecture", which is equivalent to the prefecture-level city in the previous life. The government also has a number of counties, so the Ming Dynasty was a three-level administrative division of Sifu County. Qingyang, like Xi'an, is a government government, because of the important geographical location, the imperial court also set up Qingyang Wei here, so the scale of Qingyang City is much larger than Longzhou.

But Zhu Youzhen walked around the street twice, only to find that the houses were dilapidated and the business was withering. On the one hand, this is because Qingyang is located in the northwest, and the economy is relatively backward; On the other hand, because of the rampant thieves and the people's livelihood, even a big city like Qingyang does not look as lively as Qinwangzhuang.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but sigh that it is difficult to build a city, and it may take more than ten years, decades or even hundreds of years; But destroying a city is as simple as a matter of days. The ancients said that "it is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to keep it", Zhu Youzhen suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was a lot heavier. After all, Qinwangzhuang is just a special case, and if you want to make all the prefectures and counties in the country as prosperous as Qinwangzhuang, you still have a long way to go.

However, there are patrols under Hao Yongzhong's subordinates from time to time in the market, so the public security situation is still very good, and the people also have smiles on their faces. As the saying goes, "I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world", in this turbulent era, the most basic and greatest wish of the people is to live peacefully. It seems that under the protection of the Qin soldiers, the people in Qingyang City still feel very happy despite their poor lives, which makes Zhu Youzhen feel somewhat relieved.

After seeing the situation in the city, Zhu Youzhen and others went out of the city again to inspect the countryside outside Qingyang City. This look really found that what Sun Chuanting said was true, the terrain near Qingyang was relatively flat, and it turned out to be farmland. But because the people fled the war and natural disasters, it is now a terra nullius, and large areas of land are desolate. It seems that the strategy of tuntian is promising, and if the crops in the experimental fields can be planted here on a large scale, it will soon become a granary in the northwest region.

It was nearly noon, Zhu Youzhen and the others had already left the city for more than 20 miles, and the people and horses were so hot that they were sweating all over their bodies, and their mouths were dry. Seeing that there was a small village in front of him, Zhu Youzhen and his entourage rode their horses into the village, intending to fight here and observe the people's feelings by the way.

As soon as they entered the village, there were still many male and female villagers in the alleys of the village, and when they saw the large group of riders entering the village, the men fell to their knees one after another, not daring to move, looking extremely frightened; The women hurriedly hid in their homes and closed their doors, not daring to show their heads.

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhu Youzhen's heart, but after thinking about it, now that the war is in chaos, the villagers may have regarded their group of people as thieves. Therefore, he hurriedly jumped off his horse and told everyone with a smile: "Don't be afraid, we are Qin soldiers, not thieves. ”

But the common people still cowered and didn't dare to say a word, and Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but be suspicious. There is a small noodle restaurant in front, Zhu Youzhen thought that it would be better to ask for a bowl of noodle soup, chatting with the guy while eating, and maybe he could ask the reason.

The person who opened the shop was a village man in his forties, and he was also pale when he saw Zhu Youzhen and others. Zhu Youzhen hurriedly asked Yan Ling to send ten taels of silver first, and said with a friendly smile: "This big brother, can you get some noodle soup for us to eat, this is the meal fee, you accept it first." ”

"How dare the grass people accept the old man's silver!" The shopkeeper hurriedly stretched out his hand and pushed out, "Master, please sit down for a while, the noodles will be fine immediately..."

Zhu Youzhen saw that he refused to accept the money, and drew a big question mark in his heart, and said with a slight smile: "We are not robbers and bandits, how can we eat without money." So saying, he put the ten taels on the table.

But the shopkeeper didn't even dare to look at the silver, so he just ran to the back kitchen to work. After a while, he brought out a bowl of steaming noodle soup and sent it to Zhu Youzhen, and said tremblingly: "Old... Master, please taste this bowl first, and the noodles of other military masters are also being made. ”

Zhu Youzhen was indeed hungry, picked it up with chopsticks and tasted it, suddenly felt full of fragrance, and said happily: "Boss, I can't see that although your shop is small, your craftsmanship is really good, this bowl of noodles is the best noodles I have ever tasted!" Who is the chef and can you please come out and meet him? ”

Before the words fell, the boss fell to the ground with a plop, and begged with a crying voice: "Master spare your life!" ”
