Compared with the current conscription conditions of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Jian's conditions for selecting new recruits are alternative and harsh, as long as they are over 16 years old, under 20 years old, they don't want to be soldiers, they don't want to be lapped, as long as they are honest and honest rural boys, however, the treatment is much better than that of ordinary border soldiers, once selected, they will pay a settling-in allowance of ten taels of silver on the spot.

Ten taels of silver for the poor people, is a large amount of property, in addition to the management of food and housing, there is also a monthly salary, moreover, the current Guangxi is not the Guangxi of later generations, it is really poor, so as soon as the conscription notice came out, there were countless peasant boys enthusiastically signed up, and in a few days, the number of 5,000 was summoned.

Those who have been soldiers, even if they have been on the battlefield, although they have experience, they are already oil soldiers, and their bad habits are difficult to change, and those who have not been soldiers are as pure as blank paper, easy to train, and only choose peasant children, because the family is poor, can bear hardships and stand hard work, has enough resilience, strong perseverance, and is a good soldier with full potential with a little training.

According to Zhu Jian's idea, after the 5,000 young men were systematically trained, 2,000 were eliminated as reserve supplementary soldiers, 3,000 soldiers, 1,500 musketeers, 500 grenadiers, 500 spearmen, and 500 artillerymen, but whether they were spearmen, grenadiers, or artillerymen, they must be proficient in using muskets.

The wolf battalion is for the Jin army with strong mobility ability, the combat power is quite terrifying cavalry and formed, set up 500 spearmen just in case, more than two meters long spears can resist the terrifying impact of the cavalry, under normal circumstances, take three sections, four sections and five sections of platoon shooting, plus the grenades thrown by the bombardiers, the bombardment of artillery, there is no pressure to beat the cavalry of the Jin Army, but in sudden special circumstances, such as rainy days, gunpowder is damp, affecting the musket firing, spearmen become the key to saving lives.

Zhu Jian wants to build the wolf battalion into the strongest army in the world, needless to say, the food and military salaries and other treatments are better than those private troops formed by the general soldiers and generals out of their own pockets, and the weapons and equipment are the most advanced, and the firepower is the fiercest.

After receiving the news that 5,000 children from peasant families in Guangxi were already halfway there, Zhu Jian was in a good mood, and after retreating from the court, he pulled Li Xin and Cao Bianjiao to continue to fool and brainwash, and by the way, explained to the two of them some contents of the "Minutes of the New Army's Military Training."

Li Xin did not become a soldier, and was skeptical of this alternative recruit method, Cao Bianjiao was a young man in the army, killed countless enemies, and repeatedly made military exploits, and questioned this alternative military training method on the spot, Your Majesty, are you going to train an honor guard army with embroidered fists and legs?

It's no wonder that the two of them questioned, this year's training of recruits, isn't it all about training military formation coordination changes, fighting skills of the gods, the gods and horses left and right walk in unison, although they are practiced neatly, but can they kill the enemy? It feels like a fist embroidered legs, and it doesn't work.

Zhu Jian patiently explained the significance of queue training, training soldiers' discipline and obedience, exercising soldiers' willpower, teamwork, etc., which seems simple and even useless, but there are many benefits.

Cao Bianjiao and Li Xin were indeed suspicious, but when he got to it, the two could only put this issue aside for the time being.

Cao Bianjiao can understand other firearms training, but he is skeptical about the fighting skills in the army, so simple three moves of spear, assassination, and spear increase, do they work?

Zhu Jian grinned, hand-to-hand combat, what he fought for was momentum and speed, those bells and whistles were useless, simple and practical were the most effective, the gun was invincible.

"There is no return from the gun, I am invincible......" Cao Bianjiao frowned and groaned, vaguely, he seemed to have captured something, but it seemed to be a little worse in his eagerness.

"The emperor is wise."

Li Xin also bowed his head and groaned, suddenly clapped his hands, the gun came out and there was no return, I am invincible, just in response to the momentum mentioned earlier, don't underestimate this simple assassination action, the significance is great, even if it is to die with the enemy, but this brave and fearless momentum, psychologically enough to crush the enemy, if you can train such an army, why am I afraid of the Jin army?

At this moment, his heart was full of excitement, fighting spirit and expectation, although I, Li Xin, am a scholar, I will definitely be able to train a powerful and invincible mighty army.

Zhu Jian smiled and nodded, expressing his appreciation, Li Xin is a scholar after all, and his brain reacts quickly, and he understands the mystery at once.

After a few breaths, Cao Bianjiao raised his head, with a confident smile on his face, he also understood, and at the same time was full of admiration, excitement and expectation, and the thoughts in his heart were the same as Li Xin, confident that he would train a hundred battle lions.

"Very well, I didn't misunderstand you." Zhu Jian said happily, encouraged the two of them, let them go back first, 5,000 recruits are already on the way, and they will arrive in Beijing in a few days, and then it will be the time for them to show their skills.

Li Xin and Cao Bianjiao both left the palace, Li Xin did not have the slightest intention of looking down on Cao Bianjiao, and took the initiative to invite him to his home to study the new method of military training together, Cao Bianjiao readily agreed, he knew in his heart that between the two, there will be a relationship between the chief and deputy in the future, no matter who is the chief officer and who is the adjutant, only sincere cooperation can be invincible.

Zhu Jian really wanted to go to the Ordnance Bureau to take a look, and urge those craftsmen and blacksmiths, has the weapon that my brother wants developed? How much is the production? Can we hurry up and produce a few more? But there are too many things to get out of the way at all, because Hong Chengchou is here, and he must personally tell him before he can rest assured that such an important line of defense in Liaodong will be handed over to him.

In fact, when Hong Chengchou was recalled, the eunuch who delivered the holy decree had been ordered to reveal the news to him that the Son of Heaven was about to reuse him to supervise the military affairs of Jiliao and concurrently serve as the governor of Liaodong.

On the way to Beijing, although Hong Chengchou checked some of the situation in eastern Liaodong, he had to personally inspect the specific situation, such as military deployment and so on, before he could make concrete arrangements, and only put forward some strategic ideas and arrangements in general manner, and did not make a big deal of it like Yuan Chonghuan's "Five Years of Pingliao."

Zhu Jian was quite satisfied, the old guy was still quite pragmatic, and he was somewhat half relieved.

Next is some of his advice, for various reasons, the Ming army is relatively scumbag, and the strategy is mainly defensive, so there is no need to take the initiative to attack, scout and reconnoitre, just pay attention to the movements of the Jin army. The treasury of the Ming Dynasty is empty, and if it can be saved, it is necessary to save as much as possible, and it is necessary to send the limited military expenditure to key places, and at the same time to do a good job in military affairs, it is also necessary to engage in local construction as much as possible.

Although Mao Wenlong, who was stationed on Phi Dao, was arrogant and exaggerated, his role could not be ignored, and he contained the rear of the Jin army, first tried to pacify and strengthen the Liaodong Naval Division, assisted him in guarding Phi Dao, and attacked the rear of the Jin army.

Although Mao Wenlong has good military achievements, he is arrogant, no one can control him, and his ability is still lower, Zhu Jian has plans to transfer him back, but he will not find a suitable candidate for a while.

Subsequently, he told Hong Chengchou again, mainly to remind him of the correct use of musketeers in field battles, that is, three or four sections of taking turns to shoot, dense firepower can effectively kill and injure the iron cavalry of the Jin army.

The next thing is to summon Ruan Dacheng.
