Lu Xiangsheng left, he took 5,000 quintals of grain and a large number of pig iron weapons.

After taking so many things from Yue Yang, before leaving, he also asked Yue Yang if he had any idea of joining the army, if he had this idea, he could help Yue Yang's whole family to join the army, so angry that Yue Yang almost had to take back all the things given to him.

However, Yueyang's things were not given away in vain, Lu Xiangsheng still gave Yueyang a battalion of soldiers as the new governor of Xuanda before leaving, which made Yueyang turn his anger into joy.

Some people may ask, Yueyang originally had thousands of strong teams, isn't it a matter of your words whether to transfer or not? In fact, it is not, because although Yueyang currently has thousands of soldiers on hand, but these soldiers are attached to the name of the guard and the city defense army of Yingzhou Prefecture, under normal circumstances, it cannot be mobilized without the approval of the military department, and if there is a battalion of soldiers, it will be different, because the guard army and the battalion are two different types of troops with different division of labor, which is also a unique military system of the Ming Dynasty......

At the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the system of guards was implemented throughout the country, which was the guards, which was a hereditary system of soldiers. After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the guards were corrupted, the guards were unusable, and the Ming government had to recruit a large number of soldiers.

The biggest difference between the recruitment and the guard army is that the recruitment mostly comes from the civilian population, and after joining the army, they do not change the identity of the civilian household, they are not hereditary, and they do not serve for life. The imperial court clearly stipulated that the matter should be returned to the peasants. In this way, the guards were called sergeants, and the recruits were called militias, and the recruits were also the main forces relied on in the late Ming Dynasty.

But neither the guards nor the recruits were combat formations. When fighting, a battalion system must be formed by guards or recruits, which is called a battalion. The source of the battalion soldiers is the recruitment of soldiers and the guard army. The main force of the battalion is recruitment, and some are selected from the guards.

The army is not hereditary, and the food and salary are also more generous than those of the army. Slowly, the soldier replaced the role of the army. The soldiers are the main battle, and the army is the main defense and the main tun. And after Lu Xiangsheng gave Yueyang a battalion, this also meant that Yueyang had the right to justifiably mobilize troops in Shanxi.

"Young Master, are we really no longer expanding our forces? The villain thinks that our troops are still too small now. ”

Wuli Village, Yue Yang looked at the soldiers who were constantly advancing or retreating with the orders of the officers on the martial arts field, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes, and beside him, Shun Bao was a little dissatisfied and muttered in his ear.

Yue Yang turned his head and looked at Shunbao and said lightly, "What? How long have you been this defensive officer, and you want to be promoted again so soon? ”

"Young Master...... Small...... Isn't the little one in a hurry? Shunbao, who was exposed for his careful thinking, lowered his head a little embarrassed, touched his head and couldn't speak.

"You!" Yue Yang pointed at Shunbao and shook his head, and then stopped talking. As Yueyang's officials became bigger and bigger. The official positions of those under him also rose with the tide, such as Shunbao, Hu Laosan and others all became defensive officers, and each of them was in charge of thousands of people. But as the old saying goes, people's ** is endless. They are very stubborn in believing that Yue Yang has become a guerrilla, and the soldiers and horses under his command will naturally increase accordingly, otherwise how to set off Yueyang's identity as a guerrilla is that Shunbao and others have always hinted intentionally or unintentionally that Yue Yang wants to recruit troops again.

After a while, Yue Yang said earnestly: "Shunbao." I know your thoughts, for the sake of generals, everyone wants their strength to be as strong as possible, and the more soldiers under their command are also as good as possible, and it is best to have tens of thousands of troops at once. Am I right? ”

"Hehe...... "Shunbao, who was said to have hit the nail on his head, laughed embarrassedly.

Seeing that Shun Bao was a little honest but with a cunning expression, Yue Yang showed a smile in his eyes, and still said: "But you also have to think about it, our Ming Dynasty has always been noble and cheap. The imperial court was extremely strict with the local generals. Many of the chief military officers only have about 10,000 soldiers under their command, and your young master is just a guerrilla now, and having 8,000 elite soldiers is already very eye-catching. If there is a big expansion of the army, what will the emperor in Beijing think, and what will those ministers of the imperial court think? Will those civil servants be reassured?

Besides, are we really ready to expand our army? Not to mention anything else, now if I give you 10,000 soldiers and horses to go out and fight with the Tartars, will you be competent? Shunbao, you have to remember that you can eat as many bowls of rice as you have a big belly, otherwise it is easy to break yourself, do you understand? ”

Listening to Yue Yang's earnest words, Shunbao nodded. Yue Yang's words were not something profound, he could naturally understand them, but he still felt a little pity.

"That's right, Shunbao." Yue Yang's words changed, "The large-scale military training has been going on for several months, how is the literacy problem of the soldiers going?" ”

Shun Bao scratched his head and said with some distress: "Young master, after such a long time of training, most of the soldiers know three to five hundred words, but there are also some soldiers who are not very attentive to literacy, and some people have only learned about 100 words after learning for nearly half a year, and it is useless for the villain to scold them, which really makes the villain very sad." ”

Looking at Shun Bao's bitter face, Yue Yang's voice became a little stern: "If you can't learn well, you have to learn, the ancestor also said that there are many skills and not to pressure the body, and let the soldiers be literate in order to improve their personal ability." Now they may suffer a little, but in the future they will understand my painstaking efforts, and you must lead by example as a defensive officer, not only physically, but also read more military books when you have time, and learn how to arrange troops, otherwise how to be worthy of heavy responsibilities in the future. ”

Seeing Yue Yang's stern expression, Shunbao said yes in a row, and lowered his head to indicate that he was taught.

Looking at Shunbao who bowed his head, Yue Yang sighed. In the past, in novels, I always saw how others killed all sides after crossing over, but when it was his turn, he knew the difficulties, and the talent reserve alone was enough to make him scratch his head. Although Yueyang has begun to try to set up dozens of schools in Wulizhai to absorb children aged five to thirteen in Wulizhai, as the saying goes, it takes a lot of time to cultivate one's own talents, and it will take at least ten years or so for these children to grow up, but can they really wait that long?

"It seems that we have to search for some readers from the people first, but the loyalty of these readers needs to be scrutinized, and if this problem is not solved, it will be easy to have problems in the future."

Yue Yang watched the drills of the soldiers in the martial arts arena while thinking, but the focus of his eyes had already spread, and he didn't know where his mind had turned.

"Report ......"

At this time, a soldier trotted to Yue Yang and said loudly: "Lord Qiqi, there is a flying pigeon from Datong Mansion to pass the book. ”

"Pigeon Biography?"

Yue Yang frowned, this term sounds very high-end at first glance, flying pigeon to pass on the book, in the era when there was no radio, this was already the fastest way to deliver messages. But in fact, the flying pigeon is a very unreliable thing, using the pigeon to transmit information and not to mention that the goshawk, eagle eagle and other natural enemies will be encountered on the road, and it is easy to be shot down by a greedy hunter on the way for dinner, and even get lost, so under normal circumstances, if it is not an emergency, it will not use the flying pigeon to pass the book in a very risky way to deliver the message.

And the news delivered by flying pigeons is generally a very urgent matter, and Yue Yang's heart immediately has another bad premonition.

Sure enough, when Yue Yang took the note handed over by the soldier, his eyebrows immediately wrinkled slowly, and then a small flame also flashed in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and a cold word erupted from between his teeth, "Zhang Zongheng, blind your dog eyes, Lao Tzu hasn't troubled you yet, you dare to seize Lao Tzu's things, do you really think that Lao Tzu will not dare to kill people?" ”

"Young master, what's wrong." Seeing Yue Yang's anger, Shun Bao couldn't help but be surprised, now Yue Yang is getting bigger and bigger as the official is getting bigger and bigger, and there are fewer and fewer things that can make him lose his temper, and now seeing that his young master is so angry, he can't help but be curious, he reached out and took the note from Yue Yang's hand, and when he rolled it up, he couldn't help but be surprised, and almost jumped up.

"Young master, this Zhang Zongheng is too much of a thing, he dared to detain all our goods, but we all took care of them before we left the customs, does he understand the rules?"

These days, the goods under Yueyang's hands frequently enter and exit the checkpoints of Xuanda, and naturally they have to deal with the officers and even officials guarding the border of Xuanda, and some routine dots and filial piety must be indispensable. In addition to a part of this silver was divided by the generals guarding the pass, the other part was flowed into the pocket of Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, which is already a common practice, it stands to reason that you have to do things after receiving the silver, at least to ensure that people can't have accidents on your territory, but this is good, not only did not enter the responsibility of protection, but personally seized people's goods, this nature is really too bad, it can be seen that the character of this Xuanda governor has been worse than Cheng dù.

Shunbao gritted his teeth and said: "Young master, since Zhang Zongheng, this old guy is unruly, then let's not be polite, just let the little one lead the troops to settle accounts with him, our Wuli Village is actually so easy to take advantage of!" ”

"Hmph, of course." Yue Yang's face also darkened: "It is estimated that Zhang Zongheng has also received the news that he is going back to Beijing to report on his work, and he wants to get a handful before leaving, so now he doesn't even want to be cheeky, since that's the case, don't blame us for being polite." Shunbao, you immediately mobilize 500 cavalry and strong bows and crossbows, disguise yourself as a city caravan, and set up an ambush in the area of Shaguobao, which is Datong's road to the capital after all, you know what to do next, right? ”

"Yes...... Master! The little one got it! ”

Hearing Yue Yang's command, Shunbao's eyes immediately shone with excitement and bloodlust...... (To be continued......)
