The third year of Chongzhen has arrived.

On the second day of the first lunar month, the old woman represented 117 families in Hongjiabao to Zheng Fugui and Zheng Xunrui to pay New Year's greetings.

The arrangement made by the Zheng family made more than 100 families grateful, and the people who practiced martial arts did not have so many flattering words on their lips, but they remembered their original promise that no matter what the situation was, they would follow Zheng Gongzi.

Zheng Xunrui attaches great importance to the old woman, and knows that the old woman can see through many things, and I am afraid that what he wants to do in the future must be approved by the old woman before it can be implemented.

After eating, Zheng Xunrui took the old woman directly to the reception room in the bedroom.

"Zheng Gongzi saved the lives of one hundred and seventeen families and one thousand four hundred and four people in Hongjiabao, and the old man doesn't know how to thank him."

"Don't say that, old people, you are still uneasy in your heart when you leave your hometown."

"People who practice martial arts are all over the world, they have long been accustomed to it, continuous disasters, Hongjiabao has been unable to survive, continue to stay there, it is also a dead end, fortunately I met Gongzi, great kindness, Hongjiabao 1,404 people will always remember in their hearts, and their children and grandchildren will not be able to forget."

"The old man is really embarrassed to say this."

"Childe doesn't have to be modest, the three sons of the old body are all by the side of the son, and they receive thirty taels of silver every month, the old body is really embarrassed, the old body came today, and I also want to talk about this matter."

"Old man, don't talk about this matter, silver can't be bought for a qiē, respect you, but never thought of using silver to blaspheme you, each family twenty taels of silver, as well as the grain received, the autumn harvest season, are to be deducted, brothers should also settle accounts, it is better to give people fish than to teach people to fish, the villagers of Hongjiabao can gain a foothold in Jiangning County, relying on their own efforts."

The old woman's eyes lit up and looked at Zheng Xunrui.

"Childe's words, the old body wrote down, people who practice martial arts, the grace of dripping water springs to reciprocate, Gongzi treats the old and young of Hongjiabao with courtesy, and the old and young of Hongjiabao will also treat Gongzi with sincerity."

Zheng Xunrui nodded, did not continue to speak, to say that he did not have any requirements, it is unrealistic, it is the same to recruit tenants nearby, such generous conditions, I don't know how many people will break their scalps and come in.

"What does the son want, although he said to the old body, the old body will never shirk, the old and young in Hongjiabao still look at the old body and thin face."

Zheng Xunrui looked at the old man for a while before he spoke.

"The old man is heart-to-heart, and you're welcome to go down, Hongjiabao's young and strong, farming is just a secondary thing, the focus is to continue to practice martial arts, this kind of martial arts, not the previous model, after the mountains and hills, there is a large piece of open space, after the first month, all the young and strong should be contacted in the open space, and someone should be responsible for training below."

A smile appeared on the old woman's face.

"What Childe means, the old body understands, this is nothing, even if you go into battle to kill the enemy, you will fight for your life, as long as Childe gives an order, even if it is an old and weak woman and child, she will not shirk."

Zheng Xunrui stood up and bowed to the old woman.

"The words of the old man, I remembered it below, and I swore in front of the old man today that the young and strong people of Hongjiabao are all brothers in the next, and they will never let them drink soup, if they break their promises, they will not die well."

The old woman also stood up and made a blessing to Zheng Xunrui.

"Childe's gift, the old body doesn't dare to be, what the son said, the old body must be responsible for doing it well, if someone dares to disobey the child's requirements, don't use the son's hands, the old body will be punished."

After the old woman left, Yang He entered the reception room.

Yang He, whose face was slightly red, had just drunk wine and drank it with Zheng Jinhong, Hong Xintao and others.

After entering the house, Yang He was a little surprised to find that Zheng Xunrui's expression was unusually strict.

"Yang He, you and I have similar interests, you are willing to come to my side, I welcome, but I have some requirements, if you can do it, then stay by my side, if you feel embarrassed, don't force it, I will give you some silver, enough for your living expenses in the future."

"If the young master has any requirements, even if he orders, his subordinates will definitely follow them."

"The first thing, from the day you came to me, your previous qiē has disappeared, I don't ask about your past, but I care about your future choices, no matter when and where, you can only be loyal to me, and you can't obey the orders of others, including Yang Cheng and Yang Tingshu and others, can you do this."

Yang He's body trembled, and he looked at Zheng Xunrui with wide eyes, he had also thought about this question, but he didn't think about it so thoroughly, and now he must have been surprised when he suddenly heard such words.

Half an hour later, Yang He spoke.

"The subordinates swear that they will be loyal to the young master in this life and this life, if they have two hearts, the sky will thunder."

Yang He didn't say this sentence for half an hour, so that Zheng Xunrui could rest assured that if he said it immediately, it would be the real problem.

"The second thing, my many choices in the future, there is a huge danger, or a huge opportunity, do you have the courage to follow me, even if it is a head-to-head landing."

This time, Yang He quickly spoke.

"Since you are loyal to the young master, this life belongs to the young master, and the young master will take it."

"Very good, if you have such an attitude, I will rest assured, and I will give you the task next."

Yang He's eyes widened again.

"The first thing, train Hongjiabao 800 young and strong, this is not ordinary training, I ask them to become iron-clad sergeants, even in the face of thousands of troops, these 800 people will not be afraid, they will fight without hesitation, even if there is the last person left, they will never surrender, even if they are in a desperate situation, they will never retreat without receiving orders, even if they receive an impossible task, they will not hesitate to charge......"

Yang He's face suddenly turned red.

"Young master, rest assured, give your subordinates a year, no, half a year, if you can't train these eight hundred young people, your subordinates will apologize to your son, your subordinates know that these people are capable of practicing their families, and they are in good health, as long as you let go and let your subordinates be reorganized, not to mention facing the sergeants of the Nanjing Beijing camp, even if you are facing the Houjin Tartars, you can be invincible."

"Well, how to train, I wrote here some requirements, you instill these requirements into the daily training, I remember a sentence, sweat more on weekdays, less bloodshed in wartime, training must be strict, even harsh, it may really play a role in the future, you have to remember, these people are cavalry, in September, five hundred Arabian horses will be in place, before December, another five hundred Arabian horses will also be in place, Arabian horses are called the king of war horses, looking at the world, there is no army with such equipment, Therefore, this cavalry must become the most elite cavalry in the world. ”

Yang He's eyes lit up, a thousand Arabian horses, he couldn't think of it, that was 80,000 taels of silver, even if it was purchased from Guangdong and Fujian, it would cost at least 70,000 taels of silver.

"The second thing, recruiting talents, I think you must have brothers in the army, your strength alone is limited, no one assists, training eight hundred young and strong, it must be difficult, so recruit some people from your brothers, recruit people, the character must be simple, the slippery person resolutely does not want, must be able to endure hardships, the white-faced scholar does not, the most important thing is that you must be loyal, this is the key, otherwise no matter how good you are."

Yang He hesitated slightly.

"There is no problem in recruiting people, the requirements mentioned by the young master must be met, the subordinates are originally low-level officers, it is impossible to make friends with those slippery people, it is needless to say that they endure hardships, loyalty is absolutely guaranteed, but these people are all military households, if you want to leave, it is almost impossible."

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll handle it, you make a list, don't have too many people, about ten people are enough, if there are too many people at once, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion."

"My subordinates will do it well."

"Training starts after the first month, and before September, the training must be effective, and from September to December, all the Arabian horses are trained to be war horses, that is, you have a year."

"Zheng Jinhong is your assistant, he also has to participate in training, during the training process, unless it is a serious matter, you and Zheng Jinhong discuss the rest of the things, and I will also participate in the training in my spare time."

"The young master still doesn't have to participate in the training, the young master comes back every day, and he can come to check and supervise whether his subordinates are lazy."

Zheng Xunrui shook his head slightly.

"I must participate in the training, what hardships have you suffered, I want to know, the iron army is not so easy to build, the requirements I wrote, there are detailed instructions, take a closer look, carefully understand, I just remind you of one point, an army, iron discipline is the soul, no matter how well-equipped it is, without iron discipline, there is no real combat effectiveness, military discipline is like iron, military orders are like mountains."

Yang He's body shook again.

"Military discipline is like iron, military orders are like mountains, this meaning is very clear, and subordinates understand." ……

When Yang He turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly turned around, with an embarrassed look on his face, and he was still holding the letter written by Zheng Xunrui in his hand.

"Young master, subordinates and subordinates are illiterate."

Zheng Xunrui looked at Yang He, crying and laughing, he didn't pay attention to this key issue, in this era, there are really not many literate people.

"In this way, from tomorrow onwards, I will explain to you for an hour every day, until you remember it firmly."

Yang He stood up straight, then knelt on one knee and gave Zheng Xunrui a standard military salute.

"Subordinates obey."

After Yang He left, Zheng Xunrui stood in the room and didn't move for a long time.

This begins, unveiling a stormy scene, history may be rewritten because of his crossing, but it may also be a fiasco, but since this step has been taken, it is incumbent on him to go on without hesitation.
