The holy decree of the imperial court soon came down, for Zheng Xunrui just arrived in Yan'an Mansion, he killed Shen Yikui and did not stick to the mud, and commended him, and at the same time issued an edict to all places, agreeing that Zheng Xunrui would set up a guard in Yan'an Mansion, and the saint was designated as Yan'an Wei, Zheng Xunrui concurrently served as the commander of the guard, and the officers under his command could be appointed by themselves and reported to the Ministry of War.

However, the reward is not a dime, it is just a verbal commendation, which may also be that Zheng Xunrui has already received 10,000 taels of gold from the household department, in such a short period of time, don't think about getting silver from the imperial court.

This means that Zheng Xunrui can have 5,600 sergeants.

However, the status of the guard army is the lowest in terms of the structure of the army today.

Nowadays, the strong army has basically implemented the employment system, and the titles of officers at all levels are not the same, most of them are the general army, deputy general generals, deputy generals, guerrilla generals, garrison generals, etc., and the title of the guard army is still the general flag and small flag of thousands of households and hundreds of households, and even the rogue knows that the guard army is vulnerable, and will not do anything else except for farming, just like the peasants.

Zheng Xunrui doesn't care, anyway, the army he has will be called the Zheng family army from now on, and the number of sergeants is completely under his control, on the surface it is 5,600 people, but the actual number depends on his financial resources.

According to the regulations of the imperial court, Yan'an Wei can have 5,600 soldiers, one guard station has 5,000 households, each 1,120 people, one thousand households has 100 households, each 100 households has 112 soldiers, each 100 households has two general flags, each flag has 56 soldiers, each has five small flags, and each small flag has 10 people.

The commander is subordinate to the commander of the commander of the same knowledge, the commander of the Wei Zhenfu experience, the governor of the ambassador and the deputy envoy and other military attachés, among which the commander and the commander of the same knowledge, are the rank of the three grades, but unfortunately such a grade, no one cares at all, especially in the eyes of the civil officials, the fart is not a person, the Wei commander of the third grade of the guard, after seeing the prefect of the fourth grade, he has to salute, and he may have to be controlled by the prefect in wartime.

The most important thing for the commander of the guard is the officer set-up, 5,600 people, the total number of officers with grades at all levels reaches more than 260 people, and among the average 20 people, there is one officer.

More than 2,200 rogues, after strict screening, 1,800 of them were selected to join the Zheng family's army, and more than 70 people were killed, these are the original backbone of Shen Yikui, and the rest of the people, except for the old and frail ones who were put back to their hometowns, the rest were ordered to cultivate the fields and cultivate the land in the suburbs of Fushi County, and they were not allowed to leave at will, otherwise they would be killed.

Zheng Jinhong and Yang He are directly responsible for the training, and they must undergo harsh training, especially the change in ideological understanding, which must be changed, and if they are found to have the aura of a rogue gangster, they must be immediately eliminated.

After such integration, the newly established Zheng Jiajun had 2,600 sergeants.

The appointment of officers, Zheng Xunrui thought about it seriously, it is impossible to change the title, this is a rule of the imperial court, and it cannot be violated, but he can control the number of officers.

Zheng Jinhong and Yang He served as commanders, Hong Xingui, Hong Xintao, and Hong Xinyu were 1,000 households, and 26 100 households and 52 general flags were set up, and small flags were not set up for the time being.

Zheng Jinhong also serves as Wei Zhenfu, the key to this position, directly managing military discipline.

The next thing is the bottom of the panjia, Zheng Xunrui brought 14,000 taels of gold from the capital, which has not been moved for the time being, as well as maize and sweet potato seeds, in addition to the seized grain, the number is still quite a lot, 2,000 stones of grain were seized from the mud, and more grain was seized from Shen Yikui, close to 3,000 stones, so the total amount of grain is close to 5,000 stones.

These grains are the key to the development of Zheng Jiajun.

The price of grain in Yan'an Prefecture made Zheng Xunrui gasp, the price of grain per stone reached ten taels of silver, almost five times that of the south, such a high price, the officials could not afford it, and the people could not afford it at all.

5,000 stone of grain is enough to sustain 2,600 people a year, so it is impossible for Zheng Xunrui to take out this grain for disaster relief, and then he may not be able to do anything.

As for the weapons, at present, they are enough, the captured weapons, as well as the weapons in the armory, are enough equipment, and what is not enough is cotton armor, so you can take your time and figure out how to do it.

Money can not be moved for the time being, Zheng Xunrui's eyes turned to the war horse, the most lacking in Yan'an Mansion is the war horse, the price of the war horse is also very high, the southern horse is much worse than the Arabian horse, the price of each horse is also more than eighty taels of silver, and it can't be bought, when the army of the imperial court came to Shaanxi to exterminate the Liukou, it was almost forcibly expropriated the war horse, except for the gentry and wealthy families who could hold the horses at home, the rest could not be spared, they were all expropriated.

What Zheng Xunrui needs to train is a strong cavalry, and the foot soldiers can be placed behind, in a vast territory like Yan'an Mansion, relying on foot soldiers to fight, I am afraid that nothing can be done, only the part of being beaten.

But at present, Zheng Xunrui does not have so much strength to buy war horses, he, the prefect of Yan'an Mansion, is great in Yan'an, but when he goes out, no one will buy it, and there must be a target for skillful grabbing.

Continuing to ask his father to buy Arabian horses in Jiangning County, it seems that it is not possible at present, so many war horses, it is impossible to transport them to Yan'an Mansion, there was an accident on the road, he couldn't bear it.

Zheng Jiajun currently has war horses, including 800 Arab war horses, 205 southern horses, and 47 southwest horses, of which the Arab war horses and southern horses can be used as war horses, and the southwest horses are purely for transportation, and cannot be used as war horses, that is to say, the number of cavalry accounts for less than half of the Zheng family's army.

This question was a great headache for him.

The source of the Wuzhumuqin horse is the grassland and the Hetao area, and the source of the southern horse is the area of Guizhou, Sichuan, these two places, from Yan'an Mansion, are not very far, especially the Wuzhumu Qin horse, mainly from the Hetao area, from the Fugu under the jurisdiction of Yan'an Prefecture, but the distance of about 100 miles, but the price is the same, and the Ordos Department to which the Hetao area belongs, because the emperor of Chongzhen went to the annual reward, basically turned against the Ming court, and it is a matter of time before the golden tartars are returned.

The only way is to exchange the market and exchange grain for war horses, but there is also a zài problem in this, that is, the imperial court set up Ningxia Wei and Yulinwei, the purpose is to prevent many tribes in the grassland, and in this generation built the Great Wall to prevent the invasion of Mongolian tribes, and if you want to set up a mutual market in Fugu or Shenmu, you must either get the consent of the emperor or persuade Yulinwei.

It's complicated, but it's the only way to do it.

The Ordos Department also suffered a severe drought, Yan zhòng's lack of food, exchanging grain for war horses, they are absolutely willing, after all, the main strength of the grassland tribe is the number of population, the strength of the tribe with a large population is strong, if there is a lack of food, the population of the tribe starves to death, and the strength will naturally decline.

In addition, the Ordos Department, close to Yulin Town and Ningxia Wei, has been influenced by the Central Plains and has the habit of eating grain.

But at present, Zheng Xunrui has no food, so there is nothing to exchange.

Food can't be conjured out of thin air, not to mention that the people of Yan'an Mansion also need relief food.

The grain in Fuzhou County, slowly relieving the people, can be supported until June next year at most, that is to say, by June next year, the grain must be harvested, otherwise Zheng Xunrui will also collapse.

However, the climate in Yan'an Mansion is too harsh, especially the spring drought, which is extremely strict, and the spring drought is fatal, not to mention that winter wheat will be affected, even if it is maize and sweet potato, it will also be affected.

Thinking of too many things, Zheng Xunrui was a little broken.

When I was in Jiangning County, the promotion of maize and sweet potato seeds was very smooth, and there were almost no twists and turns, but when I came to Yan'an Mansion, it was so difficult to take the first step.

Zheng Jinhong and Yang He have already started training, and the 800 Guardians have become the middle force of the Zheng Family Army, many of whom have been promoted to 100 households and general banners, responsible for the training of the 1,800 sergeants recruited, and the focus of the training is very clear, that is, military discipline and military regulations, as well as the inner sense of belonging.

With sufficient food, they will not go hungry, and these sergeants will be able to grit their teeth and train, and besides, the officers will take the lead in insisting on training, they have nothing to say, the only problem is that the consumption of food is too great.

Zheng Xunrui wanted to care about the planting of winter wheat in Fuzhou County, but he was trapped in Fucheng and couldn't get out, so he had no way to go down to supervise it, so he could only do it in a hurry.

The only thing he can care about is the cultivation of winter wheat in Fushi County and nearby Ansai County, in his plan, maize and sweet potato, the focus is also on planting in Fushi County, the land is some, a large area of barren land, and even a lot of ownerless land, what is lacking is manpower, when there is no way, he can only ask Zheng Jiajun to participate in the planting.

One qiē can only take his time, what is the matter of war horses, relief things, food matters, etc., it is useless to be anxious, the actual situation is like this, as for the adjustment of officials and other things that I thought of in the capital, there is no way to start.

Fortunately, Yan'an Mansion and Ma Zhukui sentenced Sun Qimeng, as well as Liu Shijie, the magistrate of Fushi County, Ma Daikun, the magistrate of Ansai County, and others are still good, these people are all people's identities, there is not so much hypocrisy, and there is no strong relationship, otherwise they would not stay in Yan'an Mansion, they can do things conscientiously according to the requirements of the government, and there is nothing to complain about, which is very good.
