The bricks used in the palace were not cumbersome to make, nor were they very technical.

Soon, Zhu Zilong recruited a large number of refugees on the basis of the original large number of craftsmen. The sample bricks are out!

Most of them are green bricks, and there are no obvious looseness and cracks on them, and there are a few big words in the middle of the bricks: "Daming Imperial Family Exclusive Business Name"!

And there are three small characters below this line of words, Zhujiazhuang.

In ancient times, the royal prestige among the common people was unparalleled. You say that you go to the sky to say that your brick is good, and it is not worth someone to take out a piece casually, which is engraved with the words "royal".

Zhu Zilong: This is to create his own product fame and exclusive system!

In ancient times, there would be copycats of any product, and there was no patent law to protect it. But with the exception of royal products!

Because unless the emperor allows it, from now on, only the factory in Zhujiazhuang can print the words "exclusive to the royal family" on the products. If someone else uses it, once it is found out, it is not just a matter of fine.

That's a big sin to rob the family and destroy the nine clans!

When the merchant near Yantai, Shandong Province, heard the wind, it was like a fish smelling fishy.

There is no stupidity among them merchants, even if there used to be, there is no more. I heard that there is such a once-in-a-lifetime good thing, how difficult it is to lay a foundation for a hundred years, as long as there is something that the business does not understand, now there is a shortcut to take, as long as the price is paid, the three generations of children and grandchildren can rely on the royal monopoly These four words can be eaten and used.

As a result, the grain money that was originally going to be secretly donated had to be transported in batches, and hundreds of businessmen who cooperated with Zhu Zilong immediately transported more than half of the materials over.

All kinds of good things to say, and even the original concession of other cooperation aspects, just to be able to mix in the royal family's exclusive cooperative shares.

These people came to meet according to the ceremony, and naturally it was not easy to turn them away, so they came and went, and in line with the purpose of sharing the risk mortgage and attracting people's hearts, Zhu Zilong gave 30% of the shares to hundreds of cooperative businessmen.

Only for this 30%, how they divide it, then it's none of his business.

So far, the construction period and the volume of goods have been guaranteed, and a large number of bricks have allowed them to produce, but most of the 70% of the profits have gone to Zhu Zilong. Zhu Zilong just needs to produce cement by himself!

In addition, he arranged for the newly recruited members of the logistics Yanhan Regiment and some Jinyi guards in Shandong to carry out long-distance operations on the issue of waterway transportation of golden silk nanmu.

For a time, a large number of refugees in Shandong, as well as near Zhujiazhuang, got the opportunity to work and support their families.

Zhu Zilong immediately became a local Buddha!

Time flies by so quickly.

A month has passed, and the thick shelves of the three major palaces in the palace have seen their appearance.

Zhujiazhuang has recruited a large number of refugees to work, and the demographic dividend has been well explained and used. Under the economic take-off, the miraculous role of a catalyst has been achieved.

A lot of fields have been cleared on the islands of North Korea, and high-yielding seeds have been planted.

The royal family supplied cement and bricks, which arrived in batches. Even the golden silk nanmu has been in place for the first batch.

In addition to repairing the palace, part of the cement was also distributed to the repair of the city wall in the capital. The soldiers of the capital garrison, who had been issued by the army, cooperated with a cadre of people and made this matter good.

When he was idle, Zhu Zilong's emperor doppelganger inspected the Beijing camp again.

Jingying, the establishment of the Beijing army in the Ming Dynasty. It was established at the beginning of Hongwu and was subordinate to the Metropolitan Governor's Office. In the thirteenth year (1380), it was subordinated to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies. After Ming Chengzu moved the capital to Beijing, he set up the Beijing Division and the Nanjing Capital Camp, and the regulations were gradually perfected.

The Jingshi Jingying is also known as the three major battalions, including the five military battalions, the three thousand battalions and the Shenji battalion.

The five military battalions consisted of horse troops and infantry troops. Controlling the Chinese and foreign armies, the capital is placed inside and outside the large and small fields, and 48 guards are taught. After Chengzu moved north, it increased to 72 guards. In addition to the Beijing Guard, every year, 160,000 soldiers from Zhongdu, Shandong, Henan, and Daning are assigned to each other, and they take turns to train in Beijing, which is called the squad army.

Theoretically, when the emperor personally marched in peacetime, the large camp was in the center, and the five armies were stationed outside, which was the main force of the operation.

Of course, as the old saying goes, the ideal is always plump, but the reality is always skinny. The theoretical data is naturally not true, and the combat effectiveness of the five military battalions in the late Ming Dynasty may only be one-third of that in the early Ming Dynasty.

Well, if you can have a third, it's probably not bad. This is still because of the fact that it is not far from the emperor's side and the salary is guaranteed.

Looking at the 3,000 battalions in the Beijing camp, one of the three major battalions of the Beijing army in the Ming Yongle period, it was composed of 3,000 cavalry from outside the Saiwai. Jiajing was renamed Shenshu Camp.

The reason why it is called the 3,000 battalion is because when this battalion was formed, it was based on 3,000 Mongolian cavalry as the backbone, of course, with the development of the army, the actual number should be more than 3,000 people.

The 3,000 battalion is different from the 5th battalion in that all its subordinates are cavalry. Although this cavalry unit was small in number, it was the most powerful cavalry force under Zhu Di, the Yongle Emperor of that year, and they mainly played the role of assault in the war.

It's only now, well, the horses should still be those good horses, but the horsemen above, just, hehe, hehe, hehe.

The last battalion of the three major battalions in the Beijing camp, the Shenji Battalion. Well, this is easy to understand, it is the firearms unit. It was a special unit in charge of firearms in the army of the Ming Dynasty, which opened a precedent for firearms troops in the world.

In the eighth year of Yongle (1410), when he conquered Cochin (now Vietnam), Zhu Di obtained the magic machine gun and artillery skills, and specially set up the magic machine camp to practice. In the battle of Mobei, Ming Chengzu put forward the operational principle of "the god machine is in the front, and the horse team is in the back".

The Shenji Battalion cooperated with the infantry and cavalry in combat, and played an important role in making the application of firearms more professional.

The Shenji battalion is equipped with firearms: 3,600 thunderbolt guns (infantry guns); Dalian Bead Cannon 200 rods (multi-barreled firearms); 400 handlebars (artillery self-defense with handguns); 1080 bird guns (1080 bird guns).

The others were pikemen, rattan players, and other soldiers who were only armed with cold weapons; and nearly 100 general cannons!

According to the above, it can be seen that the Ming army was not equipped with many bird guns, mainly 3-eyed guns with continuous melee combat. The main reason is that the weather in the northern region is very cold, windy and sandy, which is not suitable for the use of bird guns, so a large number of three-eyed guns are equipped, while the southern regions are suitable for a large number of bird guns.

Calculated in general, the combat effectiveness of the Shenji Battalion is the strongest, of course, it is only slightly stronger than other battalions.

If it is compared with Zhu Jiajun and the border army, it is one or two grades worse.

After all, there are many descendants of lords in the capital camp, and after two or three hundred years, many of those people have become people who eat and wait for death.

When the three battalions were first established, they were quite combat-effective. The main force was exhausted in the civil engineering change. During the Jingtai period, Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, reformed the establishment of the Beijing battalion and selected 100,000 elites from the three major battalions. It is divided into ten battalions for regimental training in case of emergency call, and is called the ten-regiment battalion.

In Nanjing, because Nanjing is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the second national capital, all there are also second Beijing camps there.

Nanjing Jingying, Yongle time, set up garrison officials to control. At the beginning of Hong Xichu, he was guarded with his ministers. At the end of Xuande, there was a counselor maintenance officer. Jingtai room, increase the coordination of the garrison officer. At the end of Chenghua, he ordered the Nanjing Military Department to be the counselor of the aircraft. The Nanjing Beijing Battalion is mainly responsible for the training of the officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Zhuwei Institute in large and small teaching grounds, and the Nanjing Shenji Battalion is also drilled.

Up to now, due to the corruption of the government and the corruption of the battalion commanders, the combat effectiveness of the Beijing battalion has deteriorated.

Zhu Zilong has the heart to rectify the Beijing camp, even if he can't re-energize them with a lot of combat effectiveness, it is good to only be able to enhance the ability to defend the city-
