The pace of the Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, a large amount of silver is spilled out, and the victims from all over the country have settled down properly, and the victims are grateful to the Jingnan Palace, and the other Fujian people have also recognized the son who led the whole thing. The kindness of the prince of Jingnan was spread everywhere in Fujian, which greatly increased Geng Jingzhong's prestige in Fujian, and no one rejected it anymore.

"The people's hearts are available!" Hearing Ah Hu's report, Geng Jingzhong burst into laughter, and kept muttering in his mouth, no wonder that Mao Yi's sentence of serving the people in later generations won the support of the people across the country.

"Ah Hu, how is the matter with you?"

"Master, can't I handle this little thing? According to your orders, regardless of the soldiers or logistics, the standard of ten catties of meat per person bought a total of more than 2,100 fat pigs from Zhejiang in the north, and spent a total of 12,200 taels of silver. Yesterday, as soon as they came back, they immediately asked the butchers in the village to kill the pigs, you don't know, I went to see, a hundred or so people killed for a whole day, that guy, in the end they couldn't even pick up the knife! ”

"Very good, reward according to the rules of the house, let them all have a good year. The barracks will have annual vacation tonight, so tell someone to hurry up and divide half of all the meat to the barracks, and the lord will give a lecture! ”

Geng Jingzhong had been preparing for this for more than a month, and now the musket had been developed, but he was very dissatisfied with the army's suzhì. Some time ago, I was just thinking about making money, but I didn't interfere in the affairs of the army at all.

At present, the soldiers of the 20 Niu Gu in the army have been trained twice during the day, and they are basically trained in accordance with Qi Jiguang's "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and "The Actual Record of Military Training", but each Niu Gu has its own training, and there is no cooperation between them at all, and the methods and effects of the exercises are also different. It is obvious that the soldiers are not enthusiastic in training, and their combat effectiveness is far from being comparable to that of the Tartar soldiers. Therefore, Geng Jingzhong prepared to train the soldiers, turning the five-day company into a daily compulsory practice, and not slacking off for a day, and at the same time using foreign objects to stimulate the soldiers, so as to improve their fighting skills and enhance their combat effectiveness.

Qi Jiguang said in "The New Book of Ji Xiao": "In the dignified array, thousands of queues are ahead, the brave are not the first, the cowardly are not behind, among the ten thousand armies, but like one person, in this way, you can be invincible in the world!" "It's about the integrity of the army. Even though there are tens of millions of people, they are still neat and consistent! To achieve such an effect, according to the current training method is not possible, the military training method of later generations is the most direct and effective in the world, he is ready to use all the things he has learned in military training here, not to mention that his ** era is coming!

"Erdan, are you telling the truth? You're not fucking making fun of the brothers! The prince wants to give us pork for the New Year? A chief stared at the soldier named Erdan with a pair of bull's eyes, and the soldiers around him also stretched their necks one by one, all looking at Erdan.

Erdan was stared at by the brothers in the team, and said hurriedly: "I lied to you that you have meat to eat, my family is local, you all know this, and my second uncle is the pig killer in the farm, yesterday all the butchers who can kill pigs in the village were called away, and killed the pigs for a whole day, a whole 1,100 big fat pigs, my uncle personally told me, saying that this is the son of the world is going to send to the brothers in the camp for the New Year, according to the capita, each person is ten catties!" ”

"Good boy, ten catties of meat!" "Really?" "Damn, how many days haven't you smelled meat? It's good to give a pound of meat! The soldiers talked, each with longing on their faces.

"It's absolutely true, my second uncle has taken home a pair of pig intestines and ten catties of meat yesterday, which is the reward given by the palace to the butchers, and it will be our turn soon, absolutely yes!" Erdan swore to the brothers around him.

"Assembled, assembled! Within a stick of incense, all the soldiers gathered in the martial arts arena according to their own troops! ”

"It's coming, I'm right, it's definitely the son of the world who is here to hand out pork! Come on! ”

Without waiting for Erdan to finish speaking, all the soldiers walked towards the martial arts arena at a speed ten times faster than the usual training, and Erdan was left behind them, "Rihao, wait for me!" ”

A stick of incense was not lit, and all the soldiers in the battalion finished in formation.

"Report to the world, all the soldiers have arrived!" Adjutant General Ma Jiuyu stepped forward to report.

"The general is hard!" Geng Jingzhong was dressed in armor, clasped his fists and saluted, and walked to the high platform after speaking.

Looking at the neat phalanx below and the more than 20,000 soldiers under the pressure of the black, I couldn't help but feel a little excited in my heart, it was the first time I stood in front of more than 20,000 people when I was so big, what a big scene! These are all your own costs!

Geng Jingzhong picked up the loudspeaker he had ordered someone to make: "Brothers, today is not a big training, suddenly summoned everyone over, hard work!" Maybe many people are thinking, who is this kid, who came here to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf! ”。

Although only a few of the officers and soldiers in the audience had seen Geng Jingzhong, they had already guessed that this person in armor should be the prince. I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Prince to be so direct, and he couldn't help but laugh softly, and the atmosphere below was gone.

Geng Jingzhong raised his hands and pressed them weakly, and continued to say loudly into the horn: "Then now let's get to know each other, I am the prince of Jingnan, surnamed Geng Jingzhong!" Here, this son has given his brothers New Year's greetings in advance! ”

"See His Royal Highness!" When the more than 20,000 officers and soldiers in the audience saw Shizi clasping his fists and saluting, they suddenly made an uproar, knelt down in unison, and said one after another.

Geng Jingzhong clasped his hands into fists and swept over the soldiers below with a smile: "Brothers, please get up!" ”

"The officers and men of the labor army have made such a big move, not to talk to everyone. Standing here today, in addition to getting to know each other with my brothers, there are a few important things to announce! Geng Jingzhong paused, looked at the expectant expressions of the soldiers below, knew that they had heard some wind, and then stretched out his hand and waved back: "Pull up!" ”

I saw that large pieces of pork were piled up on the cart and pulled over, and they stopped in front of the high platform together, a full fifty carts! The soldiers immediately became agitated, and some of the soldiers in the back could not see clearly, causing some commotion in the queue. The leaders of the battalions immediately shouted and cursed, so that the queue was quiet and restored to its original state.

"Brothers have seen it, this pork is for you! Two taels of silver and ten catties of pork per person let the brothers have a good year at home! ”

"May I die for the Son!" "May I die for the Son!" "May I die for the Son!" A voice came from one phalanx, and the other phalanxes immediately roared loudly!

The soldiers couldn't suppress their excitement at all, most of them had families and families, and their lives were tight. In the barracks, it is only guaranteed that you can eat a dry meal every day, and it is better if the family population is small, and if you can drink thin food in a large family, it is already considered a good life! In this era, it was not the era in which Geng Jingzhong lived, there were no various vegetables, no chemical fertilizers, no high-yielding seeds, and no hybrid rice. Especially in Fujian, there is too little arable land and few sources of family income, all because this era is called the old society!

After half a pillar of incense, when most of the soldiers were quiet, Geng Jingzhong pressed down with both hands and continued: "This thing is just for the brothers to celebrate the New Year, do you want to have meat to eat in the future?" Looking at the puzzled eyes of the soldiers, Geng Jingzhong smiled, this is what he wanted.

"Here's another thing I'm going to say; After the New Year, the monthly salary of ordinary soldiers will become two taels, and the food in the camp will also be greatly increased. But ---" Geng Jingzhong's expression quickly became stern: "Not every brother can be late, I will lead everyone to start practicing after the year, and the current five-day practice will be changed to a daily practice!" If you can't meet the training requirements every day, you can only watch other people eat meat, not only that, but at the end of a month of training, you will have to evaluate, and those who fail to pass will be dismissed! ”

"The detailed request will be sent to the respective battalions later, and now, the brothers from each battalion will return to the camp to share the meat!"

"Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! "The soldiers are all children of civilians, and it is not a matter for them to endure hardships or anything, as long as there is meat to eat, no matter how bitter they are!

In one afternoon, the entire barracks became a sea of joy. The soldiers lined up honestly, and no one complained that the line was moving too slowly, and they lined up to discuss what to do when they got home. Every soldier in front of him who had received the pork and silver bowed to their son, and then walked out happily with the pork.

Geng Jingzhong stood on the high platform, watching this scene, and the joy from his heart naturally hung on the corners of his mouth.
