The Daning Dynasty is divided into Kyushu, but this is only a method of division of the army, and there is no state government, all counties and prefectures are directly under the imperial court, and Kyushu has a metropolitan governor's office, in addition to Yongzhou and Yuzhou, the other seven states have set up seven major governors, commanding six hundred military governments in each state, more than 600,000 troops, and the governor is served by the prince.

The Dadu Governor's Mansion is generally in charge of the inland government soldiers, and the Daning Dynasty has nine other major festivals, but it has been reduced to four major festivals forty years ago, one is the Helong Festival, which commands 200,000 Xiliang troops, one is the Shuofang Festival, which commands 100,000 Xixia troops, and there is a Fanyang Festival, which commands 100,000 Yanbei troops, and there is also a Qiqing Festival, which commands 200,000 Shandong troops.

In addition to the government soldiers and the Jiedu soldiers, the army of the Daning Dynasty also had some special armies, such as the 100,000 guards directly under the emperor's direct jurisdiction, stationed in the capital, including the Yulin army, the Jin Wuwei and so on, all of which are collectively referred to as the guards.

There are also the armies directly under the jurisdiction of the Six Marshals of the East Palace, the guards directly under the jurisdiction of the prince, the internal guards of the Meihua Guard and the Xiuyi Guard, and the naval armies of Qizhou, Chuzhou and Jingzhou, etc.

Two hundred years ago, the system of the Metropolitan Governor's Office underwent a major reform, and the transfer power of the military offices in each state was transferred to the Ministry of War, and the Metropolitan Governor's Office had no control over the army since then, but the Metropolitan Governor's Office still retained the power of military logistics, and all the military funds and grain of the military government were uniformly allocated and distributed by the Metropolitan Governor's Office, in addition, the recruitment of new soldiers, the discharge of veterans, the pension of the dead soldiers and other affairs were also responsible for the Metropolitan Governor.

At present, the governor of Chuzhou is appointed by the king of Chu, but the king of Chu is young, and the power of the governor actually falls into the hands of Shi Zhouxin, the governor of the capital.

Zhou Xinnian was about fifty years old, a native of Yongjing, a general of the Nine Gates of the capital five years ago, and was promoted by Shen Guo's uncle and served as the governor of Chuzhou.

This time, Meihuawei and Xiuyiwei were stationed in Chuzhou, and the army itself had nothing to do with the Chuzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, but the logistics of the two guards were taken care of by the Chuzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office, and at the same time, the expansion of the two guards was also drawn from the military offices of Chuzhou, which were all Zhou Xin's affairs.

In the past two days, Zhou Xin was very busy, first busy with the placement of the embroidered guard, the embroidered guard has just been placed, the plum blossom guard has arrived, he according to the requirements of Wu Jin, the plum blossom guard is placed next to Linjiang Town in a new military camp the year before last, this military camp was originally built for the future guard army of the king of Chu, but the emperor has been slow to approve the release of the king of Chu, so the military camp has been empty.

Wu Jin led everyone to greet him, and saw Zhou Xinzheng standing in front of the camp gate with his hands in his hands looking at the notice just posted, he knew that Zhou Changshi was quite funny, so he smiled and said: "I was about to go to find Zhou Changshi, but Changshi sent it to the door by himself." ”

"I'm going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing!"

Zhou Xin smiled, pointed to the notice at the gate of the camp and said: "Although this notice is well written, it has no effect when it is posted here, does General Huangfu think that those small merchants and hawkers will run to the gate of the camp to read the notice?" Also, how many literate people are there among those prostitutes? Why don't I teach you a way? ”

Wu Jin stepped forward and arched his hand and smiled: "Zhou Changshi is right, my sergeants are not thoughtful, what is the best way for Zhou Changshi to teach me?" ”

Zhou Xin smiled slightly: "I know that when a military government first arrived in Shucheng County and was stationed, it was also harassed by the merchants in the town, they posted a few notices to no avail, and then they posted notices in the town instead, and set up a bronze medal at the gate of the camp, and the soldiers who crossed this bronze medal will shoot arrows to warn, and in a short time, there will be no similar disturbances, in fact, the most important thing is to restrain the soldiers, only if no one trades with them, they will naturally not come, what does General Huangfu think?" ”

Wu Jin nodded happily, he turned back to Wang Yan and said, "Wang Sima can remember?" ”

Wang Yan hurriedly smiled and said, "Remember the humble duty, it's done tonight!" ”

Zhou Xin stepped forward and saluted Wu Jinshen, "If His Royal Highness King Si Ning is free, I am willing to accompany His Royal Highness to the Jiangning Navy." ”

"But I'm going to talk to Zhou Changshi about the expansion."

"I ordered my subordinates to handle the expansion half a month ago."

Zhou Xin pointed to one of his subordinates and said: "This is Gao Xu, the secretary of the Dadu Governor's Mansion to join the army, he is fully responsible, he has 300,000 news materials in Chuzhou, and 30,000 elite soldiers have been roughly selected, and the remaining 4,000 elites will be selected from the 30,000 army, His Highness can let his subordinates handle this matter with him." ”

Wu Jin turned back to Zheng Yannian and said, "General Zheng, this matter will be handed over to you, you take a few captains and select the right sergeant as soon as possible." ”

Zheng Yannian bowed, "Obey orders!" ”

Zhou Xin saw that Wujin had all been arranged, so he smiled again: "Then now His Royal Highness will go to the Navy Mansion with me?" ”

"Alright then!"

Wu Jin nodded and ordered someone to lead his horse, but Zhou Xin pointed to the dock not far away and said, "Your Highness, why don't we go by boat." ”

Of course, going to the Navy Mansion is the most ideal to take a boat, but Wu Jin has an intuition, this Zhou Xin has another purpose, and it seems that he has something to say to himself, he is secretly strange in his heart, so he agrees quietly.

The wharf of Jiangning Mansion is about ten miles long, of which only two miles are assigned to civilian use, and the remaining ten miles are official and military wharves.

The Chuzhou Navy does not belong to the jurisdiction of the Chuzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office, its full name is the Chuzhou Naval Governor's Office, the military government is located in Jiangning County, and the Naval Governor is also led by the King of Chu, and the remote leader and the appointment are not the same thing, the remote commander is only the nominal supreme commander, and the specific affairs are not authorized to intervene, and all military affairs are in charge of the deputy governor.

The Chuzhou Navy Governor's Office is semi-subordinate to the Ministry of War, there are six Navy Offices under it, the establishment of the army, the recruitment of soldiers and other military affairs are the same as other military offices, and the Ministry of War is responsible, but the difference is that the autonomy of the Navy is great, it is not like other military governments that are stationed for a long time, it needs to go out of the river to patrol the sea, and it will also directly face threats from the sea, such as pirates, pirates, etc., plus the threat of the East China Sea Phoenix Society.

Therefore, the deputy governor of the navy is directly appointed by the emperor and is responsible to the emperor, and the deputy governor has the right to transfer troops and the direct appointment and recall of officers below the rank of lieutenant, while the lieutenants of the military government and the deputy governor of the navy cannot be directly dismissed, but they can be suspended and reported to the emperor for approval, but generally speaking, this is just a passing scene, and the emperor will approve it.

The Chuzhou Navy has six military offices under its jurisdiction, with a total of 21,000 people, each with 3,000 people, and there are also 3,000 military forces directly under the military government, with more than 1,500 warships of various sizes, and the six military governments are stationed in Jiangning Prefecture, Donghai County, Yuhang County, Huiji County and Yongjia County, of which Jiangning Prefecture has two military offices, one in Jiangning County and one in Yanling County, and the military government in Jiangning County is in Jiangbei.

The military mansion that Wu Jin is going to now is the garrison of the naval army directly under the military government, very close to the Meihuawei garrison, only five miles apart, if you ride over, you can reach it in a moment, but Zhou Xin wants to go by boat, which makes Wu Jin's heart full of doubts.

"Zhou Changshi, are we going to go to the Jiangbei military camp later?"

Zhou Xin shook his head, "If His Highness wants to go, it should be Hu Changshi, the Governor of the Navy Mansion, who will accompany His Highness, not me, I am just providing logistics materials for your Navy Army." ”

"Then I don't understand, why don't we go on horseback, but go by boat?" Wu Jin knew that he had a deep meaning, so he asked deliberately.

Zhou Xin smiled meaningfully, "Because I have something to say to Your Highness." ”

Wu Jin glanced at him deeply and waved his hand, "Please!" We spoke in the cabin. ”

"Your Highness, please!"

The two walked into the cabin, and Zhou Xin instructed his soldiers: "Don't disturb anything!" ”

They sat down, Zhou Xin poured him a cup of tea, Wu Jin picked up the teacup and said, "If Zhou Changshi has anything to say, please say it directly!" ”

Zhou Xin sighed and said, "Your Highness knows why I became Uncle Shen's person?" ”

Wu Jin shook his head, although the other party said it was very weird, but he didn't say anything, Zhou Xin smiled self-deprecatingly: "I am fifty years old today, ten years ago my wife died of illness, I married Uncle Shen Guo's widow as my wife, that is, my current wife Shen, she is ten years younger than me, gave birth to a daughter, is nine years old, so I am Uncle Shen's brother-in-law, he trusts me very much, and I am also one of his henchmen." ”

"I don't know what Zhou Changshi is saying to me about this?" Wu Jin smiled faintly.

Zhou Xin glanced at him deeply, and said slowly: "Because I married Uncle Shen's sister as my wife, it was arranged by the Jin'an Association!" ”

Wu Jin Teng stood up, he knew who Zhou Xin was in front of him, and the old prince had told him when he was in the back garden.

"So you're the fifth ......"

Zhou Xin nodded solemnly, "I am the son of Zhou Yifei among the six warriors of Jin'an. ”

Sure enough, it was him, the fifth Jin'an warrior, Huangfu Jiang told him that the fifth Jin'an warrior had died, but his son was in power in Chuzhou, and it turned out to be Zhou Xin.

Wu Jin sat down slowly, and he shook his head, "I didn't expect it to be you." ”

Zhou Xin suddenly knelt on the floor and kowtowed to him three times, "Zhou Xin see the lord!" ”

"General Zhou is exempt, and there is no need to kowtow in the future."

Zhou Xin sat up, tears were already welling up in his eyes, like all the members of the Jin'an Society, they had waited for forty years, and today they finally saw hope, this is their belief, it is their loyalty, they are loyal to their beliefs, loyal to the oath they made back then.

His voice was a little choked, "When Prince Tianfeng died, I went to the funeral, and I felt that the sky was about to fall, but Uncle Yu told me that we still have hope, and I was waiting for this hope, and when I saw the young master for the first time yesterday, I knew that hope was coming again." ”

Wu Jin also sighed with emotion: "I really didn't expect that the power of the Jin'an Society would be so great, when I was in Ciyun Temple, Huiming Zen Master told me my life experience, I don't believe at all, what can the six elders do?" Unexpectedly, in the past forty years, the six warriors have actually made such a big cause. ”

"Young master...."

Wu Jin waved his hand to stop him, "You can call me Your Highness or General in the future, you can't call me Young Master." ”

Zhou Xin nodded, "Then I still call you Your Highness, in fact, everything about the six warriors is arranged by the old King Liang, Your Highness should know that the Queen Mother is actually the daughter of King Liang!" ”

"Wait!"

Wu Jin stood up in shock, "How is it possible?" ”

"Your Highness, don't worry, of course it's not your own daughter, but it's closer than your own daughter."
