The influence of the Zhongxing Society began to spread at an astonishing rate.

Sun Chengzong, Lu Shanji, Huang Daozhou, and Liu Zong have their own advantages, and once they join forces, they will form a huge force.

Sun Chengzong is in the imperial court, his prestige is not ordinary, and his qualifications are also the oldest, he is the teacher of Zhu Youxiao of Ming Xizong, even if it is the emperor Zhu Youzhen, he is also very respectful, Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou are recognized by everyone as Confucian, academic attainments, it is needless to say, the key is that the bones of the two are hard, and they are the example of reverence of many scholars.

Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou, who are considered by everyone, are supportive of the Donglin Party and the Restoration Society, and even the Donglin Party, the attitude of the two, because of the establishment of the Donglin Society, has undergone great changes, and they began to criticize some views and practices of the Donglin Academy and the Restoration Society, which is a bombshell, which caught the Donglin Party and the Restoration Society off guard and could not resist.

The key support force of the Donglin Party and the Restoration Society is still in the imperial court, and they rely on the big bureaucrats and big landlords behind them, Zhang Pu can easily avoid risks, which is also the embodiment of the strength of the Restoration Society, but unfortunately in the early days of the establishment of the Zhongxing Society, he thought of such a problem and withdrew Sun Chengzong, and some people in the court did not dare to act easily.

Since the establishment of the Zhongxing Society, the voice of Donglin Academy and the Fushe has slowly weakened, and in the first month, in Nanjing, all the streets and alleys talk about are the Zhongxing Society, such an influence. Slowly began to spread to Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and even the entire south.

From the lunar month to the first month, the Zhongxing Society is very busy, every day there are gentry to visit and consult, Jingsi Hall is often full of guests, all the gentry who come to the Zhongxing Society. Including scholars, they all accepted the two clearest points of view, the scholars and gentry of the Ming Dynasty should take the lead in taking responsibility, actively pay taxes, and enjoy the favors given by the imperial court at the same time, they should also make due contributions, and the second is to have a clear purpose in doing things, and they must be able to see the effect. Advocate doing practical things, and avoid empty talk.

Many gentry and wealthy households, including some of the Guozi prisoners and life guards, accepted the task, and after returning to their hometowns, they went deep into the fields to understand the actual situation and see ordinary people and peasants. What are the difficulties, what kind of help do they need?

this effect. It was so big that the imperial court began to pay close attention to the Zhongxing Society.

The training of the Jiangning battalion was in full swing.

After Yan Zizhang arrived in Jiangning County, Su Tiancheng's main energy was completely focused on the Jiangning camp. Of course, he doesn't need to participate in training, nor does he need to supervise and supervise, Sun Chuanting is very good at these things. Since they are in charge of the military, they should not interfere with it.

Su Tiancheng thought of the matter of silver.

The Jiangning camp needs huge expenses, and it must be maintained, and it is certainly unrealistic to rely entirely on Jiangning County to support it, once the Jiangning camp leaves Jiangning County, this support will soon disappear.

The income of the city is huge, it is said that the income here can maintain the expenses of the Jiangning camp, with the business of Nanjing City becoming more and more popular, the city has become a gold doll, every day there is a large amount of gold and silver into the warehouse, Jiangning County can get forty percent of the income, this is a large amount of silver, but such a source, even more unreliable.

Su Tiancheng knew that Hou Xun, the head of the household department, had already given the emperor an excerpt, saying that the Nanjing City Department was originally a tax agency directly sent by the imperial court, or should it be directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, as for the officials and officials who have entered the city department in Jiangning County, they can be ordered to digest it by themselves, and there are many things in the Nanjing City Department, and the original manpower is simply not enough.

The meaning of Hou Xun's excerpt is very clear, all the income of the city division must be directly attributed to the imperial court.

As the head of the household, write out such an excerpt, is expected, the former city of the city, half-dead, but also from the imperial court to strip silver, of course, can not care, but now it has become a gold-absorbing doll, must be taken back, conservative estimates, the annual income of the Nanjing City Bo Division, can reach more than four million taels, it is estimated that Hou Xun's eyes are green, if it were not for the contribution made by Jiangning County, he would have sent someone to Nanjing City.

Zhu Youzhen will definitely approve this performance, and the treasury of the imperial court is also poor silver.

According to optimistic estimates, Jiangning County will still be able to get a year's income from the city, and pessimistic estimates will not be available in the second half of the year.

Su Tiancheng couldn't help but be in a hurry.

Sun Chuanting already knew that after the first month, the Jiangning battalion was ready to continue to recruit 10,000 soldiers, and he was also thinking about the expenditure of silver taels. After Su Tiancheng was stationed in the Jiangning camp, the first thing the two discussed was to suspend the recruitment of sergeants.

There are already 20,000 non-commissioned officers in the Jiangning battalion, and after the first lunar month, a large-scale military competition will be launched, and through this competition, a number of junior officers will be promoted.

The setting of the officers of the Jiangning battalion is somewhat different from that of other guards, except for the commander and deputy commander, the following thousand households, deputy thousand households, etc., are all a kind of rank treatment, that is to say, although the imperial court appoints you as a thousand households or deputy thousand households, if there is no specific position in the Jiangning battalion, then you are also an ordinary soldier.

The Jiangning battalion consists of a pro-soldier battalion, a scout battalion, a cavalry battalion, a forward battalion, a Jianrui battalion, an infantry battalion, a Shenji battalion, a law enforcement battalion, etc., and the number of scout battalions is not limited, the pro-soldier battalion is 1,000 people, the law enforcement battalion is 200 people, and the rest of each battalion is 2,000 people.

The cavalry battalion, the forward battalion, the Jianrui battalion, and the infantry battalion all set up the first and second battalions.

In this way, there are a total of twelve battalions in the Jiangning battalion.

Su Tiancheng put forward a completely new set of ideas for the setting up of the internal organization of the Jiangning camp.

Each battalion has a battalion commander who is the highest person in charge and two deputy battalion commanders to assist the battalion commander in his work.

In addition to the pro-soldier battalion, scout battalion and law enforcement battalion, each battalion has five companies, each company has 400 people, one company commander, two deputy company commanders, five platoons under each company, 80 people in each platoon, one platoon commander, one deputy platoon leader, five squads under each platoon, 16 people in each squad, and one squad leader.

Battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders are directly appointed, and company commanders and deputy company commanders are appointed in principle, and as for platoon commanders and below, they are selected solely on the basis of their military merits.

The salary of an individual is also linked to his position, with the battalion commander receiving 200 taels, the deputy battalion commander 180 taels, the company commander 100 taels, the deputy company commander 80 taels, the platoon commander 50 taels, the deputy platoon commander 40 taels, the squad leader 30 taels, and the deputy squad leader 20 taels.

Ordinary sergeants are worth five taels.

Immediately after the first lunar month, the military competition activities launched immediately after the first month are to select squad leaders and deputy squad leaders. There are also some platoon commanders and deputy platoon commanders who will also be clarified in the middle of this competition.

Therefore, the soldiers in Jiangning County are all training hard, such a competition mechanism is very fair, rely on ability to speak, no one should think about taking advantage, of course, educated people occupy an innate advantage.

Striking are the law enforcement battalion and the pro-soldier battalion.

The duties of the law enforcement battalion are mainly to record military merits, record the last wishes of officers and soldiers, and punish officers and non-commissioned officers and non-commissioned officers in cases of violating military regulations and military discipline, and have the right to directly recommend the promotion and dismissal of officers and soldiers.

This battalion is obviously the work of a scholar.

The law enforcement battalion has one battalion commander and three deputy battalion commanders.

The battalion commander is Sun Siming, and the deputy battalion commanders are Sun Sizong, Lu Taibing, and Lu Taibo.

Needless to say, the main responsibility of the pro-military camp is to protect the safety of the coach and follow the coach at all times.

The pro-soldier battalion has a battalion commander and a deputy battalion commander.

The battalion commander is Luo Chang, and the deputy battalion commander is Wang Dazhi.

This kind of establishment is very interesting, Luo Chang is the veteran of the Jiangning battalion, he has enough qualifications, he has also worked as a pro-soldier before, and he naturally knows how to command the pro-soldier battalion, he serves as the battalion commander of the pro-military battalion, which is very competent, and the strange thing is that the setting of the deputy battalion commander is actually Wang Dazhi.

Wang Dazhi has always been Su Tiancheng's personal guard, Wang Dazhi's sister Wang Furong is Su Tiancheng's personal maid, it won't take long to become Su Tiancheng's concubine, it can be said that Wang Dazhi is Su Tiancheng's closest person, Wang Dazhi's most important duty is to protect Su Tiancheng's safety, such a person who is by Su Tiancheng's side all the time has become the deputy commander of the pro-military camp, and everyone actually supports it.

This also shows that Su Tiancheng has absolute authority in the Jiangning camp, and to put it mildly, Fan Jingwen and Sun Chuanting, the influence of the two cannot surpass Su Tiancheng's.

There is a big shortage of officers in the Jiangning battalion, because the training of new non-commissioned officers has not been equipped with so many officers for the time being, and as the training becomes more and more normal, the allocation of officers has become an urgent matter.

The current situation of the Jiangning battalion is that the officers of the pro-military battalion, scout battalion, and law enforcement battalion are basically complete, and the rest of the battalions are all inferior to a lot of officers, and even the battalion commander and deputy battalion commander are not fully equipped.

Thinking about relying on military competitions to promote battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders is definitely unrealistic, just kidding, if the battalion commander and deputy battalion commander have 2,000 sergeants, if they do not have rich combat experience, they cannot respond to the situation on the spot, and go to the battlefield, will they not ask for trouble, the battle is not child's play, and they cannot take it for granted, and the battalion commander and deputy battalion commander still have sufficient experience.

The Jiangning camp lacks such talents.

Sun Yuankun, Liu Shiliang and Luo Chang have a certain amount of practical experience, have a certain quality, and are fully competent, although Liu Tiehan was born recklessly, he has experienced a lot of fighting, and he has been trained, and there is no problem, Ma Huabiao is in charge of the Shenji Battalion, there will be no big problem, and he can be regarded as competent.

The candidates at the battalion commander level who can be taken out for the time being are these people. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
