Outside the brick kiln, it was crowded with ordinary people, and some people even pushed small carts and drove ox carts to come. The queue went out for a long time, and they all craned their necks and waited.
Finally, the bricks came out of the kiln, and it was still hot, and everyone rushed to buy them.
"Give it to us, you can use as much as you want!"
"Ten cents a piece, the big guy can be leisurely, it is three times more expensive than ordinary bricks, and it means to buy one or two yuan." The workers are still persuading, but they don't know that the common people are no longer doing it.
"It's too underestimated, give me ten yuan first."
"Ten dollars is not generous, I want a hundred!"
Soon it was snatched up, and it was sold more than anything else, and the big guys paid one after another, and it took less than an hour to rob all the bricks in a kiln. There are many more people who can't buy bricks, so they can only shake their heads and sigh.
The workers were busy and sweating, but when they saw the sale so lively, they were also excited: "Everyone is waiting, there are still dozens of them that have not been chopped." We will also print the names of traitors on the bricks of the next kiln, everyone is waiting! ”
"Okay! This is ten taels of silver, which is counted as a deposit, and our lord said that he would take these bricks and spread them on the road, and thousands of people would step on them. ”
"What a good idea, these dog traitors deserve to end up like this."
Killing traitors and selling bricks, soon the enthusiasm of the common people was pushed to the extreme. And at this time, the work of comprehensive recruitment of An ** was also launched.
There is no young person who does not worship heroes, and the prestige of An ** is skyrocketing, and teenagers with similar conditions are scrambling to join the army.
And at this time, Gu Zhenhua also announced the detailed rules for the treatment of An **, which immediately detonated the heated discussion among the people. The barracks, which was originally regarded as a daunting path, was suddenly full of infinite attraction, like a magnet, so that every young person couldn't help but look sideways.
In the Longsheng teahouse, countless merchants from the south and north have gathered, and the people of Germany are also willing to drink tea here, but the war has been raging in recent years. The teahouse gradually declined and operated dismally. But in the past few days, it has suddenly become lively again, and the reason is very simple, there is a special storyteller here, explaining An's new policy, which has become a window for the people to understand the policy.
"Three old and four young. Today, let's not talk about the Three Kingdoms, don't talk about the Sui and Tang Dynasties, let's talk about this An**. Speaking of this, it is the white jade pillar of the Ming Dynasty, and the purple and gold beam of the sea. Loyalty is the first, courage is the first. Kill the Tartars, get rid of the traitors. There is no ambiguity. ”
"Okay, let's get down to business, the big guys are waiting to hear it, how is this treatment? If it succeeds, I'm still thinking about sending the little cub there. ”
The storyteller laughed: "If you want to send it early, I can tell you, there is no such beautiful thing in the world." ”
"Really? Tell me about it! The big guys all looked expectant.
This storyteller is unhurried. picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said with a smile: "The big guys all know the military households of the Ming Dynasty, they have been soldiers for generations, and the burden is heavier than that of ordinary people, and there are a large number of escapes every year, almost collapsing." Later, there was recruitment, but it was also exploited layer by layer. There are not many people who can really get into the hands of soldiers. But this An ** is completely different, Ji Guogong and his old man are painstakingly thinking about it, and have come up with a comprehensive plan, not only to raise the treatment, but also to ensure that it can be implemented. ”
The storyteller paused, and then continued: "First, the recruitment training is separated. All soldiers are trained in boot camps first, and after qualifying, they are supplemented with various units. In this way, there will be no problem of returning soldiers, and soldiers will not be reduced to the domestic slaves of a general. And the training has detailed regulations. Those who do not meet the standards do not go to the battlefield, so that the safety of the soldiers is guaranteed.
As for the issue of salaries and silver that the big guys are most concerned about, An ** also has a detailed plan, each soldier will pay one or two taels of silver a month, and the shed chief, sentry commander, and battalion commander will be increased. And what was given was full of silver, which was real, at least fifty percent higher than the border army of the Ming Dynasty. ”
As soon as the common people heard this, they all nodded frequently, and the money given was not small, one or two silver, gritted their teeth, and saved for a few years, maybe it would be enough to marry a daughter-in-law.
However, some people were a little suspicious, and couldn't help asking: "Sir, a tael of silver is a lot, but everyone knows that the hands of this official are black, and the hands of officers are even blacker, how much can you get in your hands, this is not a score!" ”
"Hahaha, this is where the Duke of Ji Guo is clever, the military salary does not go through officers at all levels, but by a special silver number money, each soldier sets up a booklet, and receives the money every month, and if you don't want to receive it, you can still save it to ensure safety. Again, the soldier can only take half of it at most, and the remaining half must be saved, and when he is discharged from the army, he can take it together. In the unfortunate event of a death in battle, the money is given to the family. In this way, the soldiers will not be able to do anything wrong in the barracks and squander all their money! ”
"Well, this is a good solution, but what if you don't have enough money and want to get more?"
"Nothing is enough!" The storyteller smiled again: "In addition to military salaries, An ** also stipulates that each soldier has at least one or two meats and one egg per day. Two regular clothes, two training clothes, I just told the big guy, even the toilet paper. If you save money, you can save all your money. If you still say that the money is not enough, then I am afraid that you are not going to go the right way, and it is time to spank! ”
The storyteller's words made everyone laugh.
"It's really hard for Grandpa Guo, for our sake everywhere, I'll let the little cub sign up."
"Don't be busy!" The storyteller smiled and stopped the anxious man, and said, "The big guy listened to me finish speaking, these are just the treatment in the army, and there are other things!" ”
As soon as they heard that there were benefits, the people became more enthusiastic, and they all paid attention and listened to the explanation.
"All the families who join the army can receive an extra five acres of land, and if they make meritorious contributions in the future, they will also be rewarded with land. In addition, the grandfather also said that in the future, it will be returned to Dedu Tuntian, and the landlords and gentry will be gone. Each grange elects a few veteran and respectful people, and the families of military personnel are preferred. Other schooling, business, work, in short, you can think of, military personnel have preferential treatment. ”
When Mr. said this, he couldn't help but sigh: "People say that the farmers and businessmen, and the military households are not in the stream, but they are under the rule of our grandfather." The status of the soldiers has improved, and they are about to replace the soldiers. The old man is just a few years older, otherwise I wouldn't be playing tricks here anymore, and I would have been a soldier a long time ago! ”
Before Mr. Storyteller finished sighing, these ordinary people all ran away, whether there were suitable young people in the family, or one left and one right. Relatives and friends, all rushed to inform, if such a great good thing is missed, it will be a big loss!
Gu Zhenhua has indeed put a lot of thought into the military system to ensure combat effectiveness. It is necessary to encourage the people to join the army, prevent warlordization, and ensure the smooth implementation of military orders.
In principle, Gu Zhenhua referred to the Qin system, combining farming and warfare, and using tuntian to tie up the people, and then tie up the army. The state of Qin can do it on its own. Sweeping the six countries, this system has long proved its power, in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang has a military household system, and there is also a faint shadow of the Qin system, but Lao Zhu has taken a big step forward.
In Gu Zhenhua's hands, he took a bigger step forward, he separated the recruitment and command, and the recruits were in the new barracks first. After completing three months of primary training and mastering the initial skills, he was assigned to the army for internship. In principle, after three months of study, a total of half a year, these recruits are put into the official battle sequence.
In this way, the recruitment and training of the army is consumed and replenished. It's all in Gu Zhenhua's hands, and the other generals are concentrated on taking care of it, and no one wants to challenge Gu Zhenhua beyond their authority.
Moreover, after the replenishment of new recruits was institutionalized, the problem of private soldiers was completely eliminated. The family system that prevailed in the Ming army was completely pinched to death by Gu Zhenhua.
In addition, Gu Zhenhua introduced the concept of finance, using silver trumpets to separate generals from money. Without the power to recruit soldiers, and without the power of silver, the basis for militarization is gone. Every general can only concentrate on fighting, and as for other ideas, don't have them as soon as possible.
Of course, being able to do this is inseparable from Gu Zhenhua's rich resources, at least tens of millions of taels of silver is his biggest reliance. Gu Zhenhua has already set up Anguo Bank, which is the prototype of the future bank.
This new method greatly limits the power of the generals, and some people will inevitably have ideas. However, it ensured the interests of the soldiers to the greatest extent and was strongly supported by the low-level soldiers. Moreover, the number of An ** has not exceeded 10,000, the new battalion is obedient, and Gu Zhenhua's prestige is high, so no one can stop it.
Of course, some things are just as early as possible, otherwise when the territory is bigger and there are more people, there will be more constraints on what policies you want to implement, so it is very important to set the rules as soon as possible for future exhibitions.
Sure enough, as more and more people learned about An's treatment, an unprecedented upsurge of joining the army swept through Guide, and even the surrounding areas got the news, and countless young people came one after another.
Among them, the largest number of people is Shandong, after Haoge led the Qing army into Shandong, burned, killed and looted, did all the bad things, and implemented shaving and easy clothes, which caused a strong backlash. The people of all parts of Shandong organized teams to resist the Qing army, and even sent a letter to the Southern Ming, hoping that the Ming army could march into Shandong as much as possible.
However, Nanming did not move for a long time, which made the people look forward to it. At this time, An ** defeated the Qing army in Yucheng, killing more than 3,000, which greatly encouraged the anti-Qing struggle of the people of Shandong, and for a time the flames were everywhere.
Moreover, a large number of Shandong people regard safety as the greatest hope, so more and more people have poured into Henan through Guò Cao County, Shanxian County and other places. There are thousands of people every day, and not only ordinary people, but also hundreds of armed militiamen take refuge, so busy that Kang Lesheng and them are dizzy and dark.
"Grandpa Guo, this is a report sent by Kang Lesheng, the people of Shandong are enthusiastic, this is a good thing, but the army is all busy recruiting people, I am afraid that it will affect the battle!" Fang Jianming couldn't help but say.
Gu Zhenhua frowned: "Can you still transfer some people?" ”
"It's difficult, divide the fields and ask for people, build cities and rivers, recruit and train soldiers, and we have sent out all the literate people."
"No, there's still a group of people, it's time to unleash their power too!" Gu Zhenhua knocked on the table and said confidently.
