Chapter Seventy-Six: Placement

Standing in the way was Zhang Keda, the deputy chief soldier of Denglai, who went to Huangxian on a business trip, and found this group of people on the official road not long after leaving the city, starting with a phalanx of thirty people. When he saw this "family ding", Zhang Keda was startled. He is an old soldier, and he can see the difference in this army at a glance.

The Dengzhou battalion has 5 water battalions and 12 land battalions, and the Dengzhou battalion has a total of 9,197 officers and men, with a salary of 222,479,26 yuan. With so much silver thrown in, how many soldiers can fight, Zhang Keda knows very well in his heart.

What his subordinates can fight is more than a hundred family members, and the rest of the soldiers have no problem as coolies, and they will definitely be thin when they go to the battlefield. The army of the Ming Dynasty was probably like this, and Zhang Keda was no exception. Why did this situation occur, the root is low in the status of military generals. The salary of the Dengzhou camp department was allocated by the household department, and under normal circumstances, it had to be drifted away by 30% before leaving Beijing. In other words, there are more than 220,000 taels of silver, and only about 160,000 can be obtained.

Holding the reins, Zhang Ke raised his hand to signal, and the thirty-person phalanx walking on the opposite side, the officer commanded: "Stand!" Thirty people were as neat as one, and they all stopped in unison. In this position, Zhang Keda, who is an old soldier, knows how difficult it is.

Zhang Keda knew that the divine doctor Chen Xie had donated the title of ambassador for regimental training, and he couldn't control this matter, so Wang Ting tried to accept people's money, and casually sent a document to the Ministry of War, saying that the squire of Dengzhou Xingtuan practiced to prevent thieves and appointed XX as the ambassador. And then even if the court knew about it, no one would take it seriously. Team practice, can you break the sky?

Not to mention that those civilian officials in the Ministry of War don't matter, it doesn't matter if Denglai Haiphong Dao Wang Tingting. Who would have thought that in just over half a year, Chen Xie would be able to pack up more than 100 regimental exercises into such elites. Zhang Keda didn't care much about the birds, what he cared about was the spirit of this army. Even if no one is wearing armor, they don't dare to underestimate this group training.

Therefore, the curious Zhang Keda stopped the team and wanted to see Chen Xie.

"I've seen the deputy commander-in-chief." Chen Xie has already figured out that Zhang Keda is the deputy chief soldier. The general soldier of Denglai is Yang Guodong.

donated the watch, and Chen Xie didn't wear that dress, but with Chen Xie's reputation in Dengzhou, it didn't matter what he worn.

"I didn't expect that the divine doctor is still a good hand at military training, but these regimental exercises, why don't you wear armor?" Zhang Keda's words were not asked casually, with murderous intent. The more veteran you are, the more you know how difficult it is to train a team like this. As long as Chen Xie says that he has armor to wear, he can get Chen Xie's handle. In the Ming Dynasty, people were allowed to hold swords and guns, but armor was absolutely not allowed. Even if you are a team training, you are not allowed to hold armor.

"Master Zhang, the practitioner of Chen, the group Ding. Armor is no joke. Chen Xie replied quietly, Zhang Keda was very thick-skinned, and there was no embarrassment at all to dig a pit for people and be recognized.

"What's going on with these people?" Instead of stopping, Zhang Keda raised his hand and pointed at those craftsmen. At this time, the money did not come up, and he smiled and said: "I have seen the deputy chief soldier Master Zhang, it is inconvenient to talk here, can you borrow a step?" ”

Zhang Keda dared to make things difficult for Chen Xie, because he knew that there was a squire Zhang Yao behind Chen Xie. As long as it is not too excessive, Zhang Yao will not care too much. But it's not easy to be embarrassed by a big businessman who doesn't have much money, and you don't know who these people are behind them. If you don't do it, you will be remembered, and one day you will find a crime to participate in your book, and it is not common to rob your home and kill your head. At this time, in the Ming Dynasty, the warlords had not yet taken shape. Mao Wenlong bull, next year (Chongzhen 2 years) will still be slaughtered by Yuan Chonghuan said that he will be slaughtered.

I didn't know what to say to Zhang Keda with a lot of money, and after muttering on the side, Zhang Keda showed a smile on his face, and apologized repeatedly: "I see, Zhang is reckless." ”

Before leaving, Zhang Keda said to Chen Xie: "Divine doctor, I heard that the divine doctor is good at Jinchuang, can you help teach Dengzhou military doctor one or two?" "It's not about getting back on the field, it's about making up for the obstacles.

Chen Xie said with a smile: "This matter is easy, you can ask the military doctors of each battalion to go to Zhangjiazhuang Hospital and teach it in person." The meaning of this is not to give Zhang Keda face, it is nothing more than to tell Zhang Keda, the current Zhangjiazhuang Hospital, but who can go to see a doctor. I can't afford to offend those people, and you can't afford to offend either.

Zhang Keda knows very well that Zhangjiazhuang Hospital is now a designated hospital for Dengzhou officials and their families, and medical treatment there is free of charge. And there is also a miracle doctor in charge, which really offended Chen Xie, which is really not a good thing. If Chen Xie is to be allowed to go to the barracks, then there is no need to talk about it. Zhang Keda didn't take it to heart about this, it was supposed to make up for it, just don't hold grudges.

With his subordinates, Zhang Ke rode away, and Chen Xie silently looked at the general soldier who died in Dengzhou in history, without too much malice. This person died in the Dengzhou Rebellion, and as the chief soldier, he could not lead troops to protect the stability of one side, which was incompetent. And such generals abound in the Ming Dynasty.

The craftsman Jin Laoshi and his companions were sent by carriage to a Zhuangzi. This is a new Zhuangzi, a tiled house built for craftsmen, a row of 10 tiled houses, and a yard in front of the door. Similar houses continue to be built, and many of the artisans who have already moved in have gone to work during the day, and the children have to go to literacy classes, leaving some old people and women at home to watch the new residents.

"Listen, the men are on the left, and the women are on the right. Those who are still nursing follow their mothers. ”

The horn regretted that the soldier showed the bayonet, and when he got here, he couldn't help himself. Jin Laoshi was wrapped in the crowd, lined up in a long line, and slowly moved forward, and his two sons, Jin Liang and Jin Shan, who did not have wives, followed him slowly forward. On the edge of a wooden fence, there were soldiers with guns to maintain order, and occasionally there was an uneasy commotion, which was immediately pointed at by the cold and shining bayonets, and shouted: Do not move.

Finally, it was Jin Laoshi's turn, and in front of a long table, a middle-aged man in bright clothes held a roster and asked, "What's your name?" Jin answered honestly, and the other party didn't talk nonsense, found someone on the roster, ticked the box and filled it out on a form, and asked him who else was at home from time to time. Mrs. Jin has been gone for several years, and her two sons have not married a daughter-in-law in their thirties, and the family composition is still very simple.

Fill out the form, let the father and son come over and press the handprint, one wooden sign for each person, explain that don't lose it on the hanging hand, and then point inside, let's go in.

Inside the wall, the uneasy mood did not change much, and there was another long table, and it was still a man who asked, recorded his name, and asked them to press their handprints and receive their own household utensils. A bit of a lot of things, a set of toiletries, clothes, shoes. The person in charge of sending things was a tailor with very poisonous eyes, and he knew how big he was wearing at a glance, and then he took the clothes, threw them in his pocket, and handed them to Jin Laoshi: "Next!" ”

As if in a dream, Jin Laoshi carried his own things, numbly followed people in, and when he came to the outside of a big house, someone checked the wooden sign at the door. After entering, someone will take care of you and tell you which box you can put and pick up your things.

Entering the house, there was a row of boxes and a long bunk. There are wooden boxes on the walls, and there are people on the edge of each shop to give instructions on how to put clothes, how to take shoes, and how to take a shower after entering.

Later, Jin Laoshi learned that there was a mountain near here, and there was a spring on the mountain. The old man of the divine doctor asked people to build a pool on the mountain, introduce the spring water into the pool, filter it layer by layer, and pour the water into the Zhuangzi through the water pipe.

This is a bathhouse, like a dream, someone stripped naked, rushed into the bathhouse, and then saw a row of sprinklers, twisted in one direction, turned on, and turned off, like a dream, hot water on the head and scared half to death, kept screaming. was scolded by the steward inside, and the leather whip in his hand was almost pulled before he shut up and took a bath.

Hot water and soap, a layer of skin on the body was rubbed off, the hair was washed repeatedly, the floor was black, and it was washed with water. After tossing for half an hour, the family of three walked out of the bathhouse and returned to the outer bunk. The steward outside scolded: "Hurry up and get dressed, there are still people waiting outside." ”

Like a dog, he was thrown out after getting dressed, took his own things, walked out of the bathhouse along a corridor, entered a courtyard, and smelled a strong smell of millet porridge.

"Take their respective brands, one brand and one food, no brand and no food." Several large cauldrons sat steaming on the coal stove (I learned later), and the boiled fish, meat and millet porridge in the pot were bowled for each person.

……………………………………

Smoke billowed and the stench was unpleasant. Chen Xie, who was wearing a mask, looked at a group of subordinates, wearing white coats and masks, and threw the changed clothes in the fire to burn. After reading the whole program and finding no problems, Chen Xie left the Zhuangzi satisfied.

Taking advantage of the drought, Chen Xie recruited nearly 1,000 workers to level down this generation, and then build roads and build houses. It costs a lot of money, but the current Chen Xie is not afraid of spending money, for fear that it will not be properly settled, causing unnecessary personnel losses.

In order to prevent someone from getting sick, Yu Yao was also transferred, and more than a dozen of them came to the school of the Rejuvenation Hall.

The construction of this place continues, and the workers recruited will become qualified workers after this project. Chen Xie continued to use it, building roads, burning kilns, and repairing soil fences. In short, Chen Xie has become one of the famous gentlemen in Dengzhou in just one year. Because he pulled a group of local land snakes to make a fortune together, Chen Xie's position is very stable for the time being.
