Chapter 61: Making Money to Raise Soldiers

However, there is no deputy officer at the outpost, the establishment of the team is too small, and the captain is an officer who does not enter the stream, and if something happens to the outpost, the unit will become a mess.

This problem would not have arisen if there had been an additional establishment between the team and the post, or if a deputy had been added to the post.

However, there was no establishment between the Ming army's squadron and the sentinel, and there was no position such as a deputy sentinel, and there was no deputy officer even above the sentinel. Like the generals, the guerrilla generals did not have a deputy position.

However, the health system has a deputy position, at least Yang He knows that there are deputy thousand households under the thousand households, two general flags under the hundred households, and even a position of trying a hundred households.

Yang He is very clear about the role of the deputy position, once the main officer has an accident, the deputy can take on the responsibility of the main position. And there is no deputy position, if something happens to the chief officer, who will the people below listen to?

Therefore, Yang He believes that the establishment of the guard is more reasonable than that of the border army.

Yang He plans to reorganize the troops by drawing on the establishment of the guards, and the two levels of Wu and Shi remain unchanged, and there is no establishment between the team and the outpost, so the establishment of the team will be expanded and become a team of five tithes, and the captain is equivalent to the general flag, two teams and one post, five posts and one battalion, and the battalion will have a thousand generals and a deputy thousand generals.

As for the battalion and above, Yang He doesn't need to think about it for the time being, there are only about 2,000 people under his command, including the old and weak and disabled soldiers, and when the old and weak and disabled soldiers are eliminated, there are only about 1,000 people left in the main battle force, that is, the strength of two battalions, and it is just right to be assigned to the battalion level, and the establishment above is not something he can think about in his current position.

(Excluding the family soldiers of Yang He and others, the accompanying family members belong to private soldiers, not counting the establishment of the national army)

In fact, Yang He divided the labor between Hei Yunhe, Zhang Mingxian, and Li Maochun, which was to prepare for the integration of the troops, Li Maochun was in charge of logistics, Zhang Mingxian was in charge of training, and Hei Yunhe was in charge of all-round work, so that the three of them did not have to consider the question of how many soldiers they commanded.

As a result of the reduction in the size of the troops, and at the same time the reorganization of the three units under the command of the previous three men into a single unit, the barracks can be standardized.

Yang He decided to follow the planning model of the military camp in later generations, and divided the military camp into several districts, with the government affairs area and the main combat unit soldiers' residential area in the middle, the warehouse, logistics soldiers' residential area and building facilities such as the dormitory in the west, and the training ground, that is, the school field, in the east.

After this division, the barracks will be neat and standardized, and at least when eating, they will not make a mess of the barracks, nor will they dump leftovers everywhere.

The third thing is to build a school.

The families of these soldiers under Yang He together numbered tens of thousands, including children, teenagers and young people, and Yang He wanted to train these people.

Yang He knows very well that an army without reserves, once it suffers heavy casualties, then this army will collapse, the army is the foundation of Yang He's life, and Yang He must lay a solid foundation.

In addition, Yang He also had to select some young soldiers from the army to train them. Yang He didn't want his soldiers to be a bunch of big bosses, and they couldn't do anything but fight the enemy.

Then it's about building an intelligence system.

Yang He is ready to make a surprise attack to train some young people and let them engage in intelligence work.

Yang He planned to let them experience in the taverns and inns in Funing County first, and when they had experience and learned how to run at the same time, he would send them to the capital.

The news from the local area is not as accurate as the news from the capital, and the news from the capital is not as fast.

Only when the intelligence is timely, Yang He can make the fastest response in the shortest time.

The last is to find a way to make money.

Naturally, the importance of money goes without saying.

And the way to make money Yang He has already thought of it.

There are two of the oldest and most lucrative industries in the world, and that is casinos and brothels.

Opening a casino can be said to be a huge profit, as long as someone comes to gamble, the money will eventually fall into the pocket of the person who opened the casino.

As for gamblers, Yang He is not worried.

Eight out of ten soldiers in the barracks are good at gambling.

In Quang Ninh City, Yang He saw with his own eyes that some soldiers gambled with dice, and they were so addicted to gambling that they even had to gamble a few handfuls in addition to fighting.

After Yang He purged the troops, he naturally would not let the soldiers gamble anymore, but there was a shortage of everything around Funing County, and there was no shortage of soldiers.

There were tens of thousands of soldiers stationed at Shanhaiguan, and more than 100,000 officers and soldiers who fled from the outskirts.

With so many soldiers, you don't need more than one or two hundred people a day, and the casino will make money.

Opening a brothel is also a lucrative business.

Of course, Yang He will not do anything to force a good person to become a prostitute.

But there are countless homeless women in this world, and finally they have no choice but to embark on this road of no return.

Yang He only has sympathy for these women, but with his current ability, he can't help these poor women at all.

What Yang He can do is that these women will not be as miserable as elsewhere in the yard he opened. And Yang He plans to let these women go if they save some money.

In fact, Yang He also knows that there are still many profitable industries in Daming, but he doesn't know the situation in Daming now, and if he wants to do other industries, he will not do it until he has completely gained a firm foothold and understands the country.

In fact, Yang He is also very helpless to do these two businesses.

But at the moment, he can do and make money, only these two industries.

According to Yang He's historical knowledge, he knew that the Ming Dynasty would die in a few years, and if the Ming Dynasty died, the people of the Ming Dynasty would become slaves of the country, and their lives would only be worse under the rule of foreign races.

If he wants to save the people of the Ming Dynasty, he must have a strong army, and if he wants to have military power, he must have money. Therefore, in order to save the country, he did not hesitate to sacrifice even a small number of people.

Straighten out the things to be done, Yang He added another item, and he had to find someone to teach him to read and write immediately.

Relying on the brain alone, after all, it is not as good as writing it down and remembering it clearly.

……

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Yang He got up, washed up a little, and went straight to the county office.

Yang He has been with Zhang Fengqi for the past two days, and the men guarding the gate have long remembered this young Qianzong.

Seeing Yang He calling the door, Menzi hurriedly opened the door, and then led Yang He to the living room of the county Yahoutang and went to the inner house to pass through.

At that time, Zhang Fengqi had not yet gotten up.

Zhang Fengqi is a literati after all, and he has been running back and forth with Yang He for the past two days, and his body is extremely tired.

After listening to the subordinates, Zhang Fengqi hurriedly got up.

Mrs. Zhang was displeased and said, "Why doesn't this person understand any etiquette, how can he come early in the morning to make noise?" Although he gave the lord five hundred taels of silver, the lord did not owe him, and the mountain and the lake that the lord gave him were more than five hundred taels of silver. ”

Zhang Fengqi reprimanded when he heard this: "Women, what do you know!" This young man named Yang He is not an ordinary person, and his future is limitless! ”

"It's just a hill, what can it do!" Mrs. Zhang said disdainfully while beckoning the maid to fetch water.

Zhang Fengqi sneered: "Qiu Ba? As far as you are talking about Qiu Ba, three sentences and two sentences put the husband in. He prides himself on being shrewd for his husband, but in front of him, he can't hide any thoughts, you say that he is not powerful! ”

"Why did he put the master in?" Mrs. Zhang said curiously.

Zhang Fengqi waved his hand: "You don't understand the intrigue in the officialdom." ”

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she immediately stopped asking, and just silently took Zhang Fengqi's clothes to serve Zhang Fengqi to dress.

After the maid brought the water and Zhang Fengqi finished washing, Mrs. Zhang dusted off Zhang Fengqi's clothes, then picked up the big hat and draped it on Zhang Fengqi's body, and took Zhang Fengqi's official hat and put it on Zhang Fengqi's head.

Straightening Zhang Fengqi's official hat, Mrs. Zhang looked at Zhang Fengqi and said, "Master, this Yang He won't harm you, right?" ”

"That's not going to happen, now he can use him for many things, and he can be used for his husband, we are a good couple." Zhang Fengqi said.

"Judging from the concubine, it was he who asked the master for help." Mrs. Zhang said.

Zhang Fengqi said with a smile: "You, you have long hair and short knowledge, helping him for your husband is actually helping your husband himself." Tell you, whether the husband can be promoted or not depends on this person. ”

Mrs. Zhang said in surprise when she heard this: "Can he still help the master be promoted?" ”

Zhang Fengqi smiled: "Little Mr. Qian? Have you ever seen a guerrilla general who wants to look at Mr. Qian's eyes and act? Have you ever seen a thousand presidents who can casually take out tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy land for their subordinates?

It was the little Qian Zong you said casually that the next day, a guerrilla general came to Funing County with 500 soldiers, and now he is stationed outside the city.

Also, this time, Funing County has taken in more than 8,000 refugees from Liaodong, ma'am, let me tell you, these refugees are all obedient to this little Qianren. ”

"Who is this Yang He? Could it be the son of a descendant of a family of lords? Mrs. Zhang wondered.

Zhang Fengqi shook his head: "Impossible, if he is the descendant of any lord's family, he will have a shadowy position." How can it be a thousand totals? At least he has to be a general (rank general) of hundreds of households, or even three or four grades. ”

Mrs. Zhang said: "If he is not a son of the lord's family, then this person is really amazing." But if he doesn't have a backstage, how can he help you get promoted? ”

Zhang Fengqi said with a smile: "If he can properly resettle these refugees, isn't it a political achievement for his husband?" Also, if he can subdue the officials and soldiers of the Yongping Guard, his husband's reputation in Funing County will definitely be very good, isn't this a political achievement for his husband? For the husband to collect the full amount of taxes in Funing County, this year's Jingcha, the results of the husband must be excellent. Then you will have to be promoted. ”

"In this way, this person really can't be lazy." Mrs. Zhang said.

"Yes, you can't be lazy, madam, Yang He came over so early, presumably he hasn't eaten yet, you hurry up and let someone prepare breakfast." Zhang Fengqi said.

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she hurriedly instructed the maid to prepare breakfast.

Zhang Fengqi nodded and went straight to the county back hall.

Seeing Yang He, Zhang Fengqi arched his hand and smiled: "Mr. Yang Qian, you are really early enough, you haven't had breakfast yet, right?" ”

Yang He arched his hand and smiled: "Zhao Yicheng has arranged breakfast, but I think the food in the post house is not delicious, so I came to disturb the county lord." ”

Zhang Fengqi laughed when he heard this, and waved his hand to signal Yang He to take a seat.

Seeing that there was not even tea on the table, Zhang Fengqi called his subordinates to reprimand him and ordered him to serve tea immediately.

After a while, the next person brought tea, Zhang Fengqi raised his hand and motioned for Yang He to drink tea, and then said with a smile: "I don't know what Yang Qian is going to do today?" ”
