The children of good families are well paid, well paid, strictly trained, and have strict military discipline. This is the norm for expanding and strengthening the army that the Ming army has already formed.

Most of the so-called children of good families are from honest families, and they are more likely to develop the habit of obedience, are more able to abide by discipline, and do not have the bad problems of soldiers and soldiers.

At this point, most of Yu Qi's subordinates would be unqualified and would be excluded from the army. In fact, the newly formed independent division did exactly that. The more than 300 officers were all drawn from the army and firmly controlled the army of 3,000 people.

In this regard, it will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction and suspicion of Yu Qi and others, and the work of persuasion and explanation has actually begun long ago. After Gu Yinghui and others came to Shandong, they first persuaded Qi to understand that the current Ming army is no longer winning by numbers, no longer relying on individual martial arts, and not an army where everyone is recruited. Discipline and organization will be the key factors for the military to win.

Perhaps Yu Qi wasn't very convinced of this before, but after the newly trained hundreds of musketeers successfully ambushed Zu Zepu's Inspectors, he finally realized this. With simple, effective, and organized musket fire, martial arts, horsemanship, and even armor were no longer the main reasons for victory on the battlefield.

And the fierceness of the Ming army that landed made Yu Qi understand that the thousands of heroes under him would not play much role in the battle array. Of course, the imperial court also showed him that everyone has their own use, the regular army has the fighting style of the regular army, and the personal martial arts also have their use.

"Chivalry is forbidden by force, General Yu must have an understanding of this sentence." Gu Yinghui is already the director of the Shandong Bureau of the Ministry of State Security, and he is standing on a high platform at this time, watching the training of recruits with Yu Qi, "When the saint was in the hidden dragon, he hated the evil deeds that disturbed the people and harmed the people. Whether it is the army or the locality, there are not a few people who have been killed for this. Even when there are few soldiers and generals, they will never lenient. ”

"Lord Gu, please rest assured, in the end, he will strictly restrain his subordinates, if they violate the laws of the country. Nor shelter. Yu Qi said very happily, but his eyes flickered a little.

"General Yu-" Gu Yinghui's face sank, and his tone increased, "You are now the commander of the independent division, and these three thousand men and horses are your subordinates, and they will be ten thousand, twenty thousand, until they are expanded into an army." Excuse me, except for the imperial court appointment. Where did you get the rest of your men? ”

Yu Qi was startled, and immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly remedied: "Master Gu, forgive me, the last general is about to say the wrong thing for a while, it is to warn the former subordinates to abide by the law of the country, and the last general will have nothing to do with them in the future." ”

"It doesn't have to be so ruthless, and that's not exactly what the court meant." Gu Yinghui shook her head slightly. He slowed down his tone and said, "Obeying the law of the land is certain. But it's not about what to do with them, it's about arranging. For example, like Vice General Yang, General Yu can recommend them to lecture in the martial arts hall or join the army; There is also the Ministry of National Security, which also wants to recruit some northerners; There are also yamen in various places, and they must also recruit errand soldiers. General Yu can be selected according to his aptitude. They reduce the chances of violating the law of the land in the future. In this way, it is good for them, and it is good for the general. In addition, Banzai still attaches great importance to the general, and also appreciates the contribution of the general's old department in the Shandong war. Soon there will be a grace to reward it. General Yu can use this to place them as well as possible. ”

"The Admiral understands." Yu Qi relaxed a little and asked tentatively: "Do you want the last general to prepare some local gifts to pay tribute to the court, and also show the loyalty of the last general." ”

"Huh." Gu Yinghui laughed, waved her hand and said, "It doesn't have to be like this. Banzai doesn't like this kind of courtesy, and if you do, you will dislike it. In fact, to show loyalty, it is also very simple, it is enough to settle the old subordinates and then make contributions on the battlefield. There are some things that still need to be kept secret, and I can only reveal one point, that is, the army formed in Shandong will be of great use in the future, and General Yu will do it well, and the future is immeasurable! ”

Yu Qi was happy in his heart, nodded again and again, rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance, and said: "That mansion is really - the last general is worried that someone will report the crime of trespassing, so it is better to use it as a holy palace, maybe long live the royal car to patrol Shandong and come to the battle in person!" ”

Gu Yinghui thought for a while, hesitated and said: "This time is not comparable to the past, long live the royal conquest, I'm afraid it won't be like this, right?" As for the crime of trespassing, the officer did not see any violation of the regulations. ”

"Be prepared!" Yu Qixian explained with a smile: "The last general knows that long live the wise and martial arts, no, it is the simple and loving people. I heard that the current Nanjing Imperial Palace is not big, and there are only dozens of palace people called. Master Gu, you think, the last general is just a general soldier, but there is such a big mansion, it's really a bit inappropriate! ”

"Long live the crime of trespassing." Gu Yinghui thought about it, if according to the scale of the Nanjing Imperial Palace, it may not be more than among the Jiangnan gentry, but Yu Qiyi stammered, if he flatly refused, I am afraid it would not be appropriate, "Of course, General Yu's worries are not unreasonable, there is nothing wrong with being careful, some civil officials do like to have nothing to do." Well, then let's settle it first, and the official will play the court, please make a decision! ”

"Thank you, Lord Gu, for your success." Yu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, according to the information revealed by Gu Yinghui, he will not be just the commander of an independent division, but will be the commander of an army, Daming now has several armies, if you talk about qualifications, officials and military exploits, he will definitely not be able to compare with other commanders, if you want to sit in a stable position, and in the future, it is essential to work hard in all aspects. If it can please Long Live the Pleasure, a house is nothing.

"In more than a month, this army will be ready to fight." Gu Yinghui's mood also improved, so she revealed more information to Yu Qi, "According to the long-standing norms for army expansion, this army will be a seed, and the more battles it fights, the more combat effectiveness it has, and the faster it will expand." Some of them are now small soldiers, and will be officers in the future, and will have the opportunity to enter the lecture hall. Of course, the lecture hall will also send graduated officers to enrich the troops. General Yu, study those textbooks for you! ”

"The last general has been studying hard." Yu Qi nodded, a martial arts hall and a academy, that is the mark of the civil and military generals in the future, without this mark, I am afraid that the career will be worrying.

"That's fine." Gu Yinghui pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "General Yu is an understanding person, as long as he does a good job of the meaning of the imperial court, after a few military exploits, the future is unlimited." ”

"At the end, I would like to thank Master Gu for your advice." Yu Qi arched his hand sincerely, knowing the meaning of the imperial court and knowing the idea of long live, he really wanted to thank Gu Yinghui for not making mistakes.
