The wisdom of the working people of the Ming Dynasty exceeded Wu Wei's imagination, and once the productive forces hidden in the people were released, they showed vigorous vitality. Among these people, who were struggling on the brink of death not long ago, a large number of skilled craftsmen, shrewd merchants, and excellent managers have emerged. Many people might have starved to death in the original time and space, but now that they have become the pillars of all walks of life, there is no doubt that the trajectory of history has quietly changed.

Not only did some of the nimble and adventurous people get rich first, but the majority of the peasants also benefited from the economic boom and, like the modern migrant workers, were able to earn some work to support their families during their slack time. Although exploitation in the initial stage of capitalism was very strict, the remuneration was enough to make the migrant workers grateful and surprised. For them, the income from part-time work is already several times that of farming, so much so that most of them now have two meals a day, and many people are even extravagant enough to eat three meals a day, and at least two of them have salt!

Parallel to economic construction is army building, and without strong armed defense, Ansai's prosperity is just a flash in the pan. In fact, since the defeat of Gao Yingxiang, the Ansai battalion and the previous armed young men have not stopped clashes with the surrounding bandits. Wu Wei is aware of the historical trend of this era, and he knows even more about how terrifying the scale of the rogues is, in the later period, it was a team of hundreds of thousands of people, so he had a much stronger sense of crisis than others. As early as after the first bumper potato harvest, he began to consciously let the young and strong gradually remove themselves from agricultural production and transform into real professional soldiers. After the establishment of the Ansai battalion, all officers and soldiers drew up their military ranks and changed their salaries. In addition, the army also subcontracts various logistical supply work to civilian contractors as projects. Contrary to the initial fears of the officers, the contractors generally did not dare to cut corners and do everything possible to satisfy the troops because of the need to build long-term credibility. They spend their days trying to figure out how to make dinner menus or make military uniforms lighter and warmer. In fact, the military's designated suppliers themselves are a golden signboard, and businessmen pay more attention to the reputation they bring to themselves, and they do not attach much importance to the profitability of the munitions project itself, and sometimes they are even willing to put money into it if they can show their special relationship with the army.

At the same time as the treatment was raised, the training standards of the officers and soldiers were also greatly improved, not only requiring one exercise a day, but also increasing the training intensity a lot, and even several people suffered muscle strains in training every day, this kind of training level was unimaginable in Luo Rucai's opinion, but because the effect was indeed obvious, they also firmly supported Wu Wei. In fact, in Wu Wei's opinion, this is not much higher than the requirements of military training for college students, when they stood in a military posture and kicked the right steps, someone suffered from heat stroke every day, and muscle strain was just a trivial matter. But the training level of the army in this era is really outrageously low, and even the relatively elite border army is only a drill on the 5th, according to Luo Rucai, even the Qi family army, which is now the Zhejiang army, is the same, and Wu Wei's requirements are naturally harsh in comparison.

Wu Wei did not expect to be able to train a special forces to come out, and in his opinion, these young and strong men who were farmers not long ago were enough to be proficient in some basic military movements, stand in military posture, line up in line, and understand the golden drum and banner. In addition, one thing that was different from the ordinary army of this era was that Wu Wei established a literacy class to educate officers and soldiers in culture. Although Wu Wei's grades in history class from childhood to adulthood were not very good, he still understood a simple truth, that is, an army composed of illiterates must be unreliable, not to say anything else, at least if you recognize a few words, you will not mistake orders on the battlefield! And the famous generals in his impression, Yue Fei and Qi Jiguang seem to be able to compose poems, obviously the cultural level is not low, and the famous generals in modern history are all from famous military academies. There seems to be only one illiterate famous general from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Yang Xiuqing, but unfortunately because he read less, he was also killed by Hong Xiuquan, who read a lot.

Wu Wei, as a college student who is a waste of firewood, has mixed up military training, and now he barely remembers standing in line and kicking the right step. However, this question is not difficult for him, the biggest advantage of modern people is that they can Baidu, many predecessors on the Internet have analyzed the process of how to build a strong army in ancient times, and all kinds of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign infantry drill manuals are available, which can be downloaded at will. This knowledge, which was absolutely classified as a high-level secret in ancient times, was readily available on the Internet like cabbage, which gave him the advantage of information asymmetry in front of the officers and soldiers of the Ansai battalion.

Although he is not a fan of the army, and he knows nothing about the training of the army, this does not prevent Wu Wei from quickly becoming a military authority in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the Ansai battalion. Because most people have only heard stories such as the Legend of the Ming Dynasty and the Legend of the Dang Kou told by the street teahouse storyteller before, but the war in these stories is more fictional in nature, and can only be used for entertainment. Don't say anything else, from there, you can see how unreliable it is to stage bloody scenes such as Yicheng going down the mountain and recruiting relatives in martial arts. This is also an old problem of folk storytelling, too much to cater to the preferences of the audience, all these stories listen to the same flavor as the Sui and Tang Romances, and often the more low-level the taste, the more popular the common people like to see, the most popular bridge is to capture the enemy female general as a wife on the battlefield and the like. Although Wu Wei's way of speaking is also somewhat entertaining, he can still explain the cause and effect to some extent, and the summary of the strategic gains and losses of the two sides can basically be in-depth and concise, and the image is vivid, which naturally makes everyone refreshed and convinced.

In this era, military knowledge was too unsystematic, there were no special military schools, and limited military knowledge came from various military books handed down from ancient times. However, because most of the generals were illiterate, their comprehension of military books was very doubtful. In this way, in addition to the border army, which can maintain a certain combat effectiveness because there are often battles to fight, the other garrisons, including the three battalions of the Beijing Division, which are known as the elite, may only be used to suppress the civil uprising.

According to the results of Wu Wei and Luo Rucai's communication, he concluded that the military command ability of generals in this era mainly came from three aspects: First, family tradition. The ancestor followed Zhu Baba to fight the country, fought in the south and the north, and gradually accumulated rich combat experience. Although there are all kinds of fallacies mixed with this, in general, it is still the experience of successful people, and it is often passed on from generation to generation as a valuable family secret. On the battlefield, if a general is a famous general, the morale of the camp to which he belongs will be high, and the confidence of ordinary soldiers will be greatly increased, and they will feel that they are a little more sure of saving their lives. The second is to summarize in battle. The reason is very simple, if someone has participated in dozens of battles in a row and has not died, then he naturally knows more or less how to deal with various situations. The third, and most frequent, is the private exchange of experiences between officers. This kind of communication is closely related to the actual experience of each person, and is often shared only with the closest compatriots or comrades-in-arms as a top-secret method for establishing one's life.
