The remaining 200,000 or so conscripts will be distributed according to the number of required troops reported by other theaters.

As a matter of fact, it is only necessary to replenish the number of troops in the Susong, Henan, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi theaters.

The rest of the theater is either not actually controlled by Zhu Youzhen's Ming court, or the governor and chief military officer have not yet been appointed, and they are still the same.

Zhu Youzhen can only take care of Jiangnan and its surrounding areas first, and can only put aside Fujian, Yunnan-Guizhou, Liangguang, Huguang and other places for the time being.

The specific affairs of military training can be coordinated by officials of various ministries and departments of the newly established Generalissimo's Office, such as Ma Shiying, Zhou Yuji, Li Banghua, and Li Mingrui.

Zhu Youzhen, on the other hand, has also stepped up efforts to re-improve and even reform Daming's new equipment and logistics system.

At present, the Guards Army under Zhu Youzhen's control consists of a total of seven armies, namely, the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Guards Armies distributed in the seven theaters of Huaiyang, Shandong, Yingtian, Susong, Henan, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi.

In total, more than one million people.

This is undoubtedly a huge amount of military expenditure and logistics supply, and the financial pressure on Daming is not insignificant.

For the Financial,

There may be no pressure in the short term, and with the reserves of the central bank of the Ming Dynasty in hand, coupled with the huge profits obtained after the currency reform, it is completely possible to cover military spending.

What needs to be done urgently now is equipment manufacturing and logistics supply.

Cavalry needed horses, infantry needed firearms and sharp swords, and artillery needed artillery, gunpowder, bullets, armor, etc., all of which were military equipment that needed to be manufactured in large quantities.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't let his army keep using long sticks as weapons.

That's why.

At the time when the training in Huai'an Mansion was not yet over.

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen returned to Nanjing, accompanied by Shi Kefa, the chief of the General Armament Department of the Generalissimo Mansion, that is, the chief of the General Armament Department of the Generalissimo Mansion, and the eunuch Shi Kefa.

Nanjing, as one of the capital cities of the Ming Dynasty, naturally also has a complete set of weapons manufacturing system.

What's more, when Zhu Youzhen moved south, Fan Jingwen also brought almost all the craftsmen who made firearms and sabers to the south of the official camp in the capital.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen rushed back to Nanjing to see what the current situation of weapons manufacturing in the Ming Dynasty was, and whether it could realize large-scale firearms manufacturing and improvement.

The manufacture of weapons is supervised by the Ministry of Industry and the Internal Supervision Bureau, and there are subordinate to the Ordnance Bureau, the War Bureau, the Gunpowder Bureau, and other military equipment manufacturing plants.

Of course, the Wang Gong factory, which had a large explosion accident in the Apocalypse year, was also among them, and it was an important base for military equipment manufacturing in the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Shilin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Shi Kefa, the eunuch and generalissimo of the Ministry of Rites, accompanied Zhu Youzhen to the Ordnance Bureau first.

This day is just after the winter solstice.

The first snow fell in Nanjing.

According to Han Shoujing, the eunuch of the celebrant Bingbi, the first snow of this year came a month earlier than usual.

Zhu Youzhen, who played a round of Tai Chi boxing in the snowy imperial garden, refused Chen Yuanyuan to put on a yellow robe for himself, and after taking the hand stove from Han Shoujing's hand, he said: "Change into a cotton robe of other colors, go out of the city today, since it is snowing, you can't live up to this Jinling snow scene, and take a look at the winter of Chongzhen's seventeenth year, how the people of Jinling City live." ”

Chen Yuanyuan answered, and went back to get civilian clothes again.

Han Shoujing couldn't help sneezing, rubbed his hands and said, "Your Majesty forgive me, Weichen is a little old, it's only November, and he can't bear the cold." ”

"If you're afraid of the cold, you don't have to go out of the palace with me, stay in the palace, you don't have to wait in front of you every day, go to the celebrant to accompany Wang Chengen, today he is on an errand, you were a student of the Hanlin Sect in the inner study hall before, just to catch up on the old days."

As he spoke, Zhu Youzhen greeted Shi Kefa: "Let's go first, Yuanyuan will follow." ”

"Shi Kefa, tell me, is this snow Ruixue or fierce snow?"

Zhu Youzhen said: "The world is chaotic, disasters continue to occur in various places, the people are displaced, Nanjing is still so cold, and I don't know how my Ming people in the north survive under the iron hooves of Jiannu and thieves and guns. ”

"Governing the world is Ruixue, and the troubled times should be fierce snow, Your Majesty is now innovating and eliminating disadvantages, and the south has to be governed, this half of the country should naturally be Ruixue, and the north is only afraid of a natural disaster after the man-made disaster, and I don't know how many white bones are exposed in the wild at the beginning of spring next year, I just hope that the plague will run rampant."

Shi Kefa replied to Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen nodded and didn't speak, the plum blossoms on the side of the palace wall were bright red, which made him stop.

Chen Yuanyuan caught up at this time, and she became more and more delicate with her pink face crimson, and put the heavenly fragrant feather satin on Zhu Youzhen's body, and then put a hood made of mink fur on Zhu Youzhen's head: "Your Majesty, Niangniang asked me to instruct you, remember to wear the leather gloves of the red-haired ghost when you go out, that thing is warm, I will wear it for you." ”

When Zhu You heard Chen Yuanyuan mention the red-haired ghost, he remembered that he had ordered Jinyiwei to go to Macao to contact the Portuguese: "Call Wu Mengming, the commander of Jinyiwei, and remember to tell him to wear civilian clothes to see me." ”

As soon as Zhu Youzhen left the palace, Wu Mengming, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, rushed over: "Weichen has seen Your Majesty." ”

"Talk while walking", Zhu Youzhen said and came to the street first, only to see that the entire street stretched to the end of the sky like a long white dragon.

The high and low eaves are like pulsatillas curled up beside the street mixed with green bamboo and plane trees, and the green bamboo and plane trees seem to be draped in a layer of white veil, and occasionally a gust of wind blows, then they flutter up and splash to the ground.

Zhu Youzhen found an ordinary restaurant and sat down, and opposite was a low-rise simple shack, which was crowded with displaced people from other places.

The same is a flight south.

As the emperor, he and a high-ranking official and nobleman can still live in the high hall and sleep warmly, while most of these ordinary Li Shu can only curl up in the temporary shack built by Ying Tianfu.

"Tell Yin Chengde of Yingtianfu, buy more quilts and hay and send them to warm things, temples, Taoist temples, and mansions that have been shelved after raiding homes can be temporarily used as resettlement points, think more ways to work for relief, don't freeze to death and starve too many people to death, anyway, it is also at the feet of the Son of Heaven, you have to let the people of the world see hope, and if you don't have enough money, you can ask for it."

After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he saw the shopkeeper coming over, and saw that Zhu Youzhen and the others were dressed extraordinarily, so he naturally asked them what they needed.

Zhu Youzhen casually ordered a piece of pasta, but Shi Kefa and the others naturally didn't dare to order more, so they had to order a piece of pasta.

And Zhu Youzhen happened to see at this time that the shopkeeper of the store was counting silver coins, and a relatively wealthy middle-aged man walked over: "Shopkeeper, I don't have silver dollars here, only a hundred banknotes, do you think it can work?" ”

"This guest officer, we only recognize the banknotes of the Central Bank of the Ming Dynasty, are you doing this?"

The shopkeeper said, and the rich middle-aged man took it out: "That's it, I just came back from selling goods in Huguang, and I don't dare to give you other banknotes." ”

"In this case, it's okay, but the store can't find so much change for you, or you go to the central bank counter next door to exchange it, just turn right in front, not far away, you exchange it back and pay."

"Aren't you afraid that I won't admit it?"

"What are you afraid of, it's just the price of three dollars."
