Although the new official had three days to settle down, Wujin led the troops to take office, and there were many things, and he rushed to the Meihuawei military camp outside the north city early the next morning.

Jiangning County is not close to the Yangtze River, there are still seven or eight miles away from the Yangtze River, all the way to the past are flatland, covered with a large area of dense woods, there is a narrow town at the edge of the woods, called Linjiang Town, the north of the town is an endless wharf, there are hundreds of huge warehouses on the wharf.

Jiangning Wharf is also the largest wharf on the Yangtze River, it is not like Weiyang County Wharf is mainly used by merchants, Jiangning Wharf is more official and military, every year there are a large number of official goods such as Chuzhou grain, rice, tea and so on to transport to the capital through Cao, are first gathered in Jiangning Mansion and then shipped.

There are also supplies for the 300,000 troops in Chuzhou, which are also transported by water, and there are also sailors stationed, so the scale of the wharf is far greater than that of the wharf in Weiyang County.

Although Linjiang Town is only a town, its scale is more than the general county seat, there are more than 6,000 residents, most of them are dock workers, the low shanty mud houses are densely packed, one by one, magnificent, all kinds of shops, wine shops, green buildings, gambling halls, inns, teahouses and so on in the town, lively and extraordinary.

The Meihuawei military camp is close to Linjiang Town, it is a large military camp covering an area of 100 acres, which can accommodate more than 10,000 soldiers, Wu Jin is not too satisfied with the location of this military camp, it is close to the town, the temptation of the soldiers is too great, but it is close to the Yangtze River, which is what he requested.

Escorted by thirty sergeants, he hurried to the barracks, but saw a large group of women surrounding the gate of the barracks, all dressed up in fancy clothes and very charming.

Captain Sun Jianhong whispered to Wu Jin: "General, these women are all prostitutes in the town, and they came to do business last night, and they can't get rid of them." ”

Wu Jin frowned, these girls surrounded the gate of the barracks, of course it was not like words, but he also knew that this kind of thing could not be blocked, if it was forcibly prohibited, it would not be good for the soldiers to go out over the wall, but it would corrupt military discipline, and the method of combining guidance and guidance must be adopted.

He turned over and dismounted, and when he came to the gate of the barracks, a group of girls buzzed around him like flies, pulling him, "Master Jun, fifty wen once!" ”

"Master Jun, I only need forty wen once."

The soldiers were furious and were about to rush up and beat them, but Wu Jin waved his hand and asked the soldiers not to do it for the time being, and he said to the women: "I am the highest officer in the barracks, you listen to me well." ”

When the girls heard that he was the highest officer, they didn't dare to be presumptuous, so they let him go and took two steps back, and Wu Jin said to them: "If you want to do business with my brothers, I will not prohibit it, but you must follow the rules, my soldiers will take a day off every ten years, and they can go out of the camp to find you, but only in the town, not in the barracks, so it is useless for you to be here, no soldier dares to come out of the camp to find you, let alone take you into the camp, you go back!" From tomorrow there will be soldiers on vacation, they will come to you, in the future you are not allowed to gather at the gate of the barracks, today you don't know, I will not punish, if there is a next time, stop blaming my soldiers for beating people! ”

Speaking of the back, Wu Jin's tone became extremely harsh, and the girls were scared, so they slowly dispersed, Wu Jin walked to the door of the barracks, and the soldiers guarding the camp gate hurriedly opened the door to let him in, Wu Jin said coldly to the captain on duty: "Post a notice, no one is allowed to do business at the gate of the barracks, if anyone dares not to listen, just start fighting!" ”

"Humble duty understands!"

Wu Jin nodded, walked into the barracks quickly, he was the first time to come to this barracks, the conditions were good, they were all seventy percent of the new brick houses, neatly arranged in dozens of rows, in the middle was a large training ground covering an area of nearly seventy acres, you can run horses and shoot horses, the barracks are surrounded by walls and watchtowers, it can be seen that this barracks has been newly built for a few years, which he is more satisfied with.

At this time, the deputy general Zheng Yannian saw Wu Jin coming from a distance, so he ran forward and half-knelt down to give a military salute, "See the general!" ”

Wu Jin hurriedly helped him up and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so polite in the future, everyone is casual." ”

Zheng Yannian is the son of Zheng Xiao, the governor of Xiping, including another deputy general Zhang Long, they are all descendants of the Liang Dynasty, in addition to the two of them, there are more than a dozen young captains and brigade commanders, their fathers are in the Western Liang Army, this is the Meihua Wei Jian Jun Jiang Yan specially mobilized them from the various military offices of the Meihua Wei and the Xiuyi Guard, so that Wu Jin can get a group of reliable subordinates in a short time.

Now these children of the Xiliang Army have been reused, occupying the positions of the lieutenant, Guoyi and captain of the Chuzhou Meihuawei, and in a certain form, the Chuzhou Meihuawei has actually become an extension of the Xiliang Army.

Zheng Yannian is burly, infinitely powerful, and makes a hundred-pound big knife, which is a famous general in the plum blossom guard, although this kind of person is not smart and can't be handsome, but he can become a loyal forward general.

He stood up, scratched his head and smiled, "I'll give you a briefing on the barracks." ”

Wu Jin nodded and smiled: "While watching, I said." ”

He turned on his horse and walked slowly towards the barracks, which was only forbidden to run wildly, not to ride, as long as the horses slowed down, the ranks were neat, and along the special horse path, they could ride horses.

The sergeant's dormitory built thirty rows of brick houses, each row of sixty military houses, according to five people per room, the entire military camp can accommodate 9,000 people, and the number of people set by the imperial court, Chuzhou Meihuawei will be expanded to 5,000 people, in addition, Meihuawei can not only be stationed in Jiangning Mansion, must be stationed in various parts of Chuzhou, so this military camp will only have 2,000 people at most in the future.

In addition to the military house, there are also various military warehouses and sheep and horse pens, which are very well equipped.

The first row of military houses is a military room, which is the office space of civilian officials and officers above the rank of captain, and Wujin also has two official rooms here, at this time, Sima Wang Yan and Judge Zhou Chengxun greeted them, Sima and the judge are the highest civilian officers in the army, Sima has six Cao soldiers under Sima, and there are two sub-judges below the judge, they are in charge of auditing.

Wujin was just about to find Wang Yan, so he pointed to the last two rows of military houses and said to Wang Yan: "My last two rows are quite far away from the other military houses, so let's ask for the surname to separate it with a barracks fence, and set up a separate door to enter and exit the outside, and use it as a special room for family members to visit relatives in the future, and parents and wives and children can live there without living in the city or town." ”

Since they were from the vicinity of Luojing, except for the officers who were higher in Yulu and some sergeants from wealthy families who could buy and rent houses in the city, the families of other soldiers basically did not follow, so Wujin had to consider the family visit system, not only to give subsidies for carriages and horses, but also to give military families a place to live, and it happened that their barracks were spacious and could solve this problem.

Sima Wangyan was a little embarrassed, family members came to visit relatives occasionally, it was possible to temporarily clean up two rooms, although everyone did this, but the regulations of the Ministry of War did not say that they could set up a separate room for family members to visit relatives in the barracks, although they were not under the management of the Ministry of War, but the rules of the Ministry of War were equally applicable to them, and they set a precedent like this, would they be targeted by the Ministry of War? Wang Yan is relatively timid, and he doesn't dare to do this kind of pioneering thing.

Zheng Yannian was unhappy, he said angrily: "The general's suggestion is very good, the brothers left their hometown and came to Jiangnan, everyone has parents, wives and children, so you should solve this problem for them, you have a family and a house in the city, you can sleep with your wife in your arms at night, don't worry about anything, but have you thought about it for the brothers?" ”

Wang Yan's face was swollen and flushed, he saw that Wujin did not refute Zheng Yannian's rudeness, obviously agreeing with his words, helplessly, he had to nod and agree, "Okay then!" Just do as the general says. ”

"Then thank you Wang Sima!"

Wu Jin saw that Zhang Long and several Guo Yi Lieutenants also rushed to hear the news, so he smiled at everyone and said, "Since they are all here, let's go into the house to discuss the new rules!" ”

Wu Jin led everyone into his room, and everyone found chairs to sit down, and they came to the barracks, this was the first time they had a meeting.

Wu Jin first gave everyone a brief account of what happened at the gate of the barracks just now, and then said to everyone: "The Ministry of War has clear regulations that the barracks are not allowed to bring prostitutes into the camp, and I won't talk much about these, but it's better to be sparse, if you want to find a woman, you are only allowed to go to the town by yourself when it's your turn to take a break, I don't interfere, but in the barracks, we must strictly follow the regulations of the Ministry of War, prohibit gambling, prostitution, and trading." ”

Judge Zhou Chengxun also nodded and said: "I completely agree with the general's opinion, last night the private prostitutes crowded the camp gate, and there were small traders who actually climbed over the wall to enter the camp to sell wine, it is too unusual, let's make a rule, you are not allowed to come to the barracks, you can only go to the town during the break, or enter the city, as long as you don't cause trouble, we will not prohibit it." ”

Next to him, Wang Yan said again: "There is another point to add, when you leave the barracks, you are not allowed to wear military uniforms with military cards, only civilian clothes, what does the general think?" ”

Wu Jin knew that he was worried that the sergeant would use the identity of Meihuawei to go outside to do mischief and cause trouble, and the sergeant in the capital did not dare to mess around, but when he arrived at the place, it was difficult to say, so the rules had to be set first, and he couldn't change it after forming a habit like in the capital.

Wu Jin said to Wang Yan and Zhou Chengxun: "That's it! The two of you will draft all kinds of rules, and after they are ready, show me them, and implement them if there is no problem. ”

The two nodded in agreement, and Wang Yan said a little embarrassed: "General, there is one more thing that can be discussed, that is, the time, can you ......?"

There are two kinds of time, one is the time of the military office, which is at four o'clock in the morning, that is, seven o'clock in the morning, and the other is the time of the military camp, which is at one quarter of the hour, that is, at half past five in the morning.

According to the regulations of the military department of the Daning Dynasty, when it is not wartime, officers above the fifth rank can live in their own homes, and at night they take turns to be on duty in the barracks.

But now there is no military office, only the barracks, they can only come to the barracks to order, but the city gate is not opened at the end of the hour, they can not leave the city, more importantly, the civilian officers live in the city, far away from here, they have to get up half an hour earlier than the soldiers to get up, this is very unrealistic.

Wu Jin thought about it and smiled: "That's it! If it's not worth it, you don't need to point it, but you have to arrive before two quarters of the hour, and everyone says what. ”

At two o'clock in the morning, that is, at eight o'clock in the morning, everyone present was involved, and everyone agreed, Wu Jin smiled again: "I am also the governor of the Chuzhou Navy Army, and I have to run around in Chuzhou, so I don't have to abide by this rule." ”

Everyone laughed together, and at this time, Zhang Long on the side said: "General, there is also the issue of the expansion of the Meihuawei, we have to hurry up, I heard that the embroidered guards have begun to expand, we can't fall behind, let the outstanding soldiers be picked up by him." ”

Meihuawei and Xiuyiwei only have 1,000 people to come to Chuzhou, they will each select 4,000 people from the Chuzhou army to expand, Xiuyiwei arrived three days earlier than them, and has already begun to expand, Zhang Long is a little anxious.

Wu Jin nodded and smiled: "I know this in my heart, and I will go to the Yamen of the Dadu Governor's Mansion to find Zhou Changshi in a while, this person I have already seen yesterday." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier reported at the door: "Report, the governor of the Metropolitan Mansion is outside the barracks, and he wants to see the general!" ”
