The 100 people were placed in the barracks, and the training had not yet begun, but they were first organized and divided into eight teams.

Eight teams, eight teams were appointed, and the eight boys just made a team leader, and they were already happy.

What made them even happier was that Yang Chao announced in public that the monthly salary of the eight teams had risen to one or two, which made them can't help but cheer.

The other soldiers were paid two cents a month, and when they saw that the team had one or two pieces of silver, their faces couldn't help but show envy.

Yang Chao told these soldiers in a timely manner that whoever practices well can be promoted, as long as he is in the team, it will be one or two silver.

Then he said to a few teams that were not yet excited that by the end of the year, they would promote several flag leaders, and each flag would be paid a total of three taels a month.

Immediately attracted a few team members again, Yang Chao continued, as long as whoever has the best military training, he will be the flag leader.

Whether it was the newly appointed new team leader or the newly recruited recruits, they all rejoiced.

Only his cousin Zhao Kang was sullen, he was originally the leader of the team, and these people were under his control before, but now he has to be on an equal footing with him.

Yang Chao finally quietly comforted him, saying that he would be the first to promote him to be the flag chief, and Zhao Kang regained his vitality, but like last time, Yang Chao still told him that he couldn't embarrass Yang Chao, and if others were not convinced, Yang Chao would not be able to promote him.

And how to fight for Yang Chao, now that Zhao Kang is in the team, Yang Chao told him that as long as he can train the soldiers well, it will be fine.

Yang Chao did not rush to train, but asked the team to lead the soldiers and repair the barracks first.

There were less than 10 intact barracks in the barracks, but Chen Kuan and Li Fu's families occupied six rooms with dozens of families.

The rest of the houses are simply enough for these soldiers.

Yang Chao invited a craftsman to see it, and said that he would repair the military camp and get two or three hundred taels of silver.

Yang Chao's military camp, on the right side of the Qinhuai River estuary, used to be a tidal flat, and later built a fixed barracks.

At its peak, there were 30,000 or 40,000 people living in this large barracks, and now there are less than 3,000 people in total.

In the past, there were about 3,000 people in this camp in Yang Chao.

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, the military system has been changing, the main force at the beginning is the guard army, after the defeat of the guard soldiers, the battalion soldiers are conscripted, but the battalion system has not been finalized, and it is often changed.

The same is true of the Xinjiang Estuary Naval Barracks, which used to be a sentry barracks with a quota of 3,000 people, 1,000 permanent battalions, and 2,000 shifts.

The current establishment has changed, because the naval battalion was reorganized after the Japanese invaders, and the editor of the post has been canceled.

Now it is the battalion, department, division, flag, team, and army establishment, and this is the barracks of the left division, and the biggest official is Yang Chao, the general of the left division.

There are five people in a team, 10 to 12 people in a team, about 30 people in a banner, about 100 people in a bureau, about 400 people in a division, 1,000 people in a department, and more than 2,000 soldiers in a battalion.

Yang Chao was divided into eight teams, a team of twelve people, a total of ninety-six people, and the remaining four people, Yang Chao picked them out and followed him.

It's not that Yang Chao is afraid that he won't be able to stuff these soldiers, but because these four people are relatively old.

The youngest of them was thirty-three years old, and the oldest was forty years old, and they were not suitable for intensive training with young recruits.

Under normal circumstances, no one would recruit such soldiers, but these four people are all good at sailing, so they were recruited by Yang Chao, and the water camp naturally has to be able to drive boats.

invited a few masons and carpenters, asked a few officers to bring recruits and help craftsmen to renovate the barracks, and Yang Chao took four veterans to the banquet.

The banquet venue is in the Golden Hairpin Building.

Jinchai Building is not another green building, it is the green building opened by Yang Chao and Kang Confession.

This name was obtained by Yang Chao, in fact, at first Yang Chao wanted to take a heaven and earth, but thinking about it was too spoofing, and he thought of the elegant name of the twelve hairpins of Jinling in the dream of Red Mansions, so he took it as Jinchai Tower.

The object of the banquet was Wang Xiao, because Yang Chao planned to do another assembly and asked Wang Xiao to help.

But as soon as Wang Xiao came, he brought bad news.

"Zhang Pu is dead!"

Yang Chao couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and Zhang Pu's name was called out.

It is very impolite and rude to call him by his name, Ma Chao and Cao Cao have a grudge against his father in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and he does not call Cao Cao's name directly, and has always only called Ah Hide.

Yang Chao naturally knew, but it was indeed too unexpected, as soon as Zhang Pu put Zhou Yanru in the position of first assistant, he died.

"Hey, isn't it?"

Regarding Zhang Pu's death, Wang Xiao was even more disappointed than Yang Chao.

He has been accompanying Zhang Pu to the north this time, helping Zhang Pu exchange money from the south to Beijing, and helping Zhang Pu to give gifts all the way, although he took the opportunity to meet a lot of dignitaries, but the biggest benefit is to get Zhang Pu's friendship, but Zhang Pu died.

As soon as Zhang Pu died, most of Wang Xiao's efforts were in vain, how could he not be disappointed.

"How did Tianrugong die?"

Yang Chao couldn't help but wonder how Zhang Pu seemed healthy when he was separated from him a few months ago, why he went to Beijing and died when he got home.

Wang Xiao sneered: "I was poisoned!" ”

"Ahh

Yang Chao exclaimed.

Yang Chao asked, "Who did it?" ”

Zhang Pu operated Zhou Yanru to come to power, and this head was spread out, who dared to kill Zhang Pu.

Wang Xiao said: "I didn't catch the criminal, I heard that someone saw Wu Changshi went to Zhang Tianru's house the night before, and Zhang Tianru died the next day." ”

"Wu Changshi?"

Yang Chao was even more puzzled, Wu Changshi was the backbone of the Restoration Society, and he was a cadre under Zhang Pu, how could Wu Changshi murder Zhang Pu.

Wang Xiao affirmed: "Zhang Tianru's momentum is too fierce, pushing Zhou Yuxian again, the momentum is unmatched for a while, not everyone wants to see him in full swing." ”

Yang Chao nodded, and also felt that what Wang Xiao said made sense, but Zhang Pu's fame in Jiangnan skyrocketed all of a sudden, but his political enemies definitely didn't want to see this, but if it was the internal struggle for power and profit within the Restoration Society that killed Zhang Pu, it would be too sad.

Wang Xiao continued to sneer: "Zhang Tianru is dead, he personally pushed Zhou Yanru to the throne of the first assistant, and was poisoned. But do you know what his 'fellow believers' are doing now? ”

Yang Chao shook his head.

Wang Xiao snorted: "They are all in a hurry to find Zhou Yuxian now, and they are anxious to find a position for themselves in the court. ”

This is not surprising, the people of the restored society hope that Zhou Yanru will give them an official position, in fact, Ruan Dacheng also wants to use Zhou Yanru to re-emerge as an official.

Yang Chao couldn't help asking: "It's not surprising, this is a good time to seek a high position." ”

Wang Xiao shook his head and said with a look of disdain: "These people usually boast of being clear, and they regard themselves as righteous men and gentlemen, although it is understandable to fight for power and profit, but now that Zhang Tianru's bones are not cold, and no one has taken care of the future, they are in a hurry to fight for power." Blind Zhang Tianru has worked hard! ”

Yang Chao couldn't help but feel cold in his heart at this time, Zhang Pu helped these people push Zhou Yanru to power, and helped Donglin Fushe erect a big banner in the court, but he was poisoned, not to mention, no one will take care of it in later generations, and usually his like-minded friends and friends actually went to Zhou Yanru one by one to ask for officials.

Wang Xiao continued: "And that Qian Qianyi. On the same day, he publicly broke with the Restoration Society. But as soon as Zhou Yanru came to power, he licked his face and got up. He openly praised Zhou Yanru, publicly praised the Restoration Society as a gentlemen's society, and openly said that the Restoration Society Donglin was like-minded, and his face was really shameful. Don't you just want Zhou Yanru to give them some official positions in Donglin? It's shameless. ”

Yang Chao suddenly felt a chill at this time, the shamelessness of these scribes who read poetry and books made him cold from head to toe.

These people read poetry and books, full of liturgical articles, and all the books of sages and sages full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but they only read the word snobbery in the books.

"Full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, full of male thieves and prostitutes!"

Yang Chao suddenly thought of this sentence, thinking that it was an insult to the literati, but he didn't want it to be a true portrayal of them.

When Wang Xiao heard this, he praised: "Good scolding! ”

Wang Xiao's praise made Yang Chao suddenly calm down.

Yang Chao sighed: "There are always some good people." ”

Wang Xiao also sighed: "Don't say that there is a person, Guiyang Ma Shiying." This person actually traveled thousands of miles from Guiyang to Wumen to help Zhang Tianru take care of the funeral! ”

"Ma Shiying!"

Yang Chao's heart couldn't help but move, this is also a big traitor.

But he didn't want to be so righteous, the people of the Donglin Restoration Society didn't care about their leader, but Ma Shiying did.

Yang Chao couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that Ma Shiying and the sky are as old as the public?" ”

Wang Xiao exclaimed: "It's good if it's old." This Ma Shiying was sent to be at home, but he didn't know Zhang Tianru. It's just that his friend Ruan Dacheng and Zhang Tianru are friends, Zhang Tianru died, and he learned that no one took care of the aftermath, so he rushed here. ”

Zhang Pu was a maidservant girl, so when he was a child, his family property was deprived by his brother who was an official, and he also fought a lawsuit for this, and his father died of anger.

Zhang Pu has achieved a reputation completely by relying on his own hard study, and I heard that all his books were copied, and he can't read them if he doesn't copy them.

After becoming an official, Zhang Pu was not the kind of corrupt official, and he was driven away after not being an official for long, so the family had no money to spare, and there was no money for burial.

Ma Shiying learned the news from Guiyang and traveled thousands of miles to give him a funeral.

If Ma Shiying is for himself, it can't be said, a dead Zhang Pu, where can he compare to a living Zhou Yanru.

Aren't the scholars of the entire Donglin Restoration Society busy currying up with Zhou Yanru and ignoring Zhang Pu's aftermath, but Ma Shiying did the opposite, which may make him stand out, but it is equivalent to offending a large number of scholars, and even offending Zhou Yanru.

Yang Chao couldn't figure out Ma Shiying's motives, and couldn't help sighing: "Ma Shiying is righteous. ”

Wang Xiao said: "It's not so righteous. I heard that someone recommended him. Zhou Yanru did a favor and repaid Ruan Dacheng's debt. He was grateful to Ruan Dacheng, so he helped Ruan Dacheng's friend Zhang Pu take care of the funeral. ”

Ruan Dacheng donated 20,000 taels at the beginning, and at the political meeting of Ruan's family, he raised more than 100,000 taels of donations.

However, the Donglin Restoration Society still opposed Ruan Dacheng's comeback, so Zhou Yanru wrote to Ruan Dacheng to explain his hardships and difficulties.

directly expressed his willingness to let Ruan Dacheng's friend Ma Shiying recover and return Ruan Dacheng's favor.

This is really a favor, because people heard that the person is Wang Xiyun, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, so Zhou Yanru actually sold two people with a favor, not only fell into Wang Xiyun's love, but also repaid Ruan Dacheng's debts, and did not offend the so-called righteous gentlemen of Donglin Fushe.

After listening to Wang Xiao's story about Beijing officialdom, Yang Chao couldn't help but admire, at least in terms of political means, this Zhou Yanru is a character and is very good at playing balance.

Wang Xiao said again: "There is also that Wu Changshi, who has also been promoted, and now he has become the official Wen Xuan Langzhong." ”

Wu Changshi poisoned Zhang Pu, and then not only was he not caught, he was not implicated, but he was promoted.

It is easy to explain that he was not arrested, he is an official in the capital, and the magistrate does not dare to take care of it, and there is no real evidence, who dares to say that he killed Zhang Pu.

But as soon as Zhang Pu died, it was a little strange for him to be promoted, which made people have to think of the relationship.

Seeing that there were words in Wang Xiao's eyes, Yang Chao couldn't help but wonder: "You mean, it was Zhou Yanru who wanted to kill Zhang Pu?" ”

Wang Xiao hurriedly shook his head: "I'm just guessing." ”

But Yang Chao felt that this was probably the case.

Zhou Yanru has been appointed by the emperor as a scholar of the Zhongji Palace, the first assistant of the cabinet, and at the same time a secretary of the ministry.

Zhang Pu praised Zhou Yanru as the first assistant, Wu Chang killed Zhang Pu, and when Zhou Yanru promoted Wu Chang, there must be a conspiracy in this.

Yang Chao couldn't figure out the joint, because he knew too little news.

asked Wang Xiao directly: "What else did you guess?" ”

Wang Xiao said with a smile: "Zhang Pu is not dead, how can Zhou Yusheng be an official?" ”

Wang Xiao asked, Yang Chao suddenly realized, yes, Zhang Pu praised Zhou Yanru to come to power, Zhou Yanru wants to be clamped by Zhang Pu, the only way to kill Zhang Pu is to kill Zhang Pu, otherwise he is a puppet, obviously this old bureaucrat does not want to be a puppet.

Yang Chao was not only shocked in his heart: "This old guy is not only sleek, not only can play balance, but also has a black heart and poisonous hands." ”

Zhang Pu praised him for coming to power, Zhang Pu was still his student, but he was also ruthlessly murdered, with this thick black skin, no wonder he could be the first assistant.
