Section 12 was stationed in Penghu to rebuild Jinyiwei

After the honeymoon trip with Chen Yan'er, Zheng Kezang couldn't take a break, as soon as the front foot returned to Dongning, the back foot immediately set off to the Penghu Islands and officially took office!

As a master, Liu Guoxuan really spared no effort to support his beloved disciple Zheng Kezang, taking into account everything that could be considered for him, and doing everything he could do for him in advance. Zheng Kezang decided to take a 3-month vacation with Chen Yan'er, and the decision to relax was improvised, and he did not communicate with anyone in advance, even so, considering that Zheng Kezang has really been turning around in the past ten years, and he has not had a good day of rest, Liu Guoxuan still gladly supports. And, in order to prevent Zheng Kezang from going to Penghu 3 months late, under the operation of people with a heart, there were any bad changes, so Liu Guoxuan personally presided over it, and took Liu Zhibin, the candidate designated by Zheng Kezang, to carefully select 4,500 brave and good fighting elites, and the original more than 500 recruits, forming Zheng Kezang's pro-army. After the formation of the pro-army, Liu Guoxuan put down the military affairs at hand, and personally led this battalion of Zheng Kezang's pro-army with Liu Zhibin to go to Penghu Island, the largest island in the Penghu archipelago and the main island. After that, Liu Guoxuan returned to Dongning with peace of mind, and ordered Liu Zhibin to integrate and train the army, and be sure to grind it into a real whole before Zheng Kezang came.

And Liu Zhibin and the others arrived on Penghu Island at the same time, as well as Zhang Wenjie and the more than 100 secret troops that he carefully selected that had begun special training. According to the strategy discussed with Zheng Kezang early in the morning, Zhang Wenjie placed this secret force in a hidden valley in the middle of Penghu Island.

When Zheng Kezang came to the camp in the eastern part of Penghu Island, his battalion of 5,000 pro-troops had basically been integrated into a whole after Liu Zhibin's assault training for more than a month. Zheng Kezang had a more intuitive understanding of Liu Zhibin's ability to lead and train the army, and he was very satisfied. Speaking of which, in the last battle to pacify the Potbelly Kingdom, Zheng Kezang felt that the current establishment of the army of the Ming and Zheng Dynasty was inconvenient to command, and it was difficult to command smoothly. Liu Zhibin also pointed out that similar problems were encountered during the more than one-month assault training. Both of them felt that they should first start with the military compilation and carry out rectification. Although it is taboo to rashly reform the military establishment, considering the benefits after the reform, and Zheng Kezang is also confident that he can persuade Zheng Jing and Liu Guoxuan to accept his reform, at least he can test it on a small scale in his battalion of pro-army, so he no longer hesitates and decides to start the reform immediately. After many discussions, Zheng Kezang and Liu Zhibin finally preliminarily settled on a relatively mature plan for reforming the military establishment.

This reform plan not only absorbs the successful experience of the armed forces in the 21 st century, but also meets the requirements of cold weapons in this era. Zheng Kezang decided to completely break up the 5,000-strong pro-army of this battalion, with 10 people as one and one as a chief; 5 tithes are a flag, with a total of 50 people, a total of 1 flag, with 1 deputy small flag; 4 flags for one household, with a total of 200 people, 1 for 100 households, and 2 deputies for 100 households; 5 households are a sentry, with 1 1,000 households, with a total of 1,000 people, with 3 deputies and 1,000 households; 5 thousand households are a battalion, with a total of 5,000 people, that is, all the officers and soldiers of Zheng Kezang's pro-army, with 1 envoy and 4 deputies to pacify the affairs. In this way, whether it is training or wartime, orders can be issued layer by layer, and any level of generals who have problems will be immediately put on top by deputies, and even if the main and deputy generals have problems, they can also be temporarily replaced by the generals of the next layer, which can ensure the smoothness of the army's operation to the greatest extent. In addition to Zheng Kezang, who is the supreme leader of the battalion's military horses, as the commander of the envoy, and Liu Zhibin, the pacification envoy, the rest of the more than 500 personal soldiers who have been trained by the devil for a long time, as well as the most prominent of the 4,500 new sergeants, were selected and promoted exceptionally.

After a full six days, with the efforts of Zheng Kezang and Liu Zhibin day and night, the 5,000-strong pro-army of this battalion finally completed the initial reform in terms of establishment. Because Zheng Kezang still has a lot of things to deal with at present, he still handed over the newly restructured pro-army of this battalion to Liu Zhibin for training, and first let the generals at all levels and every soldier adapt to the establishment reform, and then formally put it into strong training, and the amount of training was gradually increased, and finally reached the same devilish special training as the original more than 500 pro-soldiers. Zheng Kezang is basically relieved of Liu Zhibin's ability, and it is not without the intention of giving him a final test. Now that this battalion is pro-army, and the training unit is based on what is the basis, and the level is responsible for the upward level, Liu Zhibin's work will be much easier, and he will be able to better command the overall situation, grasp the training situation of the entire battalion of soldiers and horses, and make targeted adjustments at any time.

At the same time, Zheng Kezang also handed over to Liu Zhibin the two martial arts cheats of "Iron Cloth Shirt" and "Five Tiger Broken Door Knife" prepared for this battalion of pro-army, and even gave a death order, asking Liu Zhibin to arrange for generals at all levels to start cultivating, and the daily cultivation time should not be less than 2 hours. Therefore, it is very important for generals at all levels to cultivate first, and they must not be sloppy at all.

After arranging the reform of the pro-army establishment and the follow-up training, Zheng Kezang came to the hidden valley where the secret army was located under the leadership of Zhang Wenjie, who had been waiting for nearly 2 days. The secret base chosen by Zhang Wenjie is really hidden enough, along the way, the two of them trekked through mountains and rivers, through dense forests, and through karst caves. In this regard, Zheng Kezang couldn't be more satisfied, the more hidden this secret base is, the more conducive it is to the big plan that he is about to start implementing.

In the valley, the construction of the secret base has only been carried out for more than 1 month, coupled with the lack of manpower, even the framework of the foundation has not been built, but under Zhang Wenjie's introduction, Zheng Kezang also has a general understanding of the future planning of the secret base, and after putting forward a few suggestions, he is assured to hand over to Zhang Wenjie to continue to be responsible, which is a long-term complicated work, Zheng Kezang obviously does not have the time and energy.

As for the establishment of the secret army, Zheng Kezang has long had a case in mind, considering that they are not full-time battlefield battles, so there are changes on the basis of the establishment of the pro-army: with 5 people as a team, there is 1 army commander, and the official rank is equivalent to the chief of the pro-army; 4 units are a flag, with a total of 20 people, 1 flag commander and 1 small flag; 5 flags are one household, with a total of 100 people, 1 person for 100 households, and 1 person for 100 households; Further up, 5 households are a sentry, with a total of 500 people, 1 1,000 households, and 1 deputy 1,000 households; 2 households are a battalion, with 1 town envoy and 2 town envoys. The supreme leader of the secret army is naturally still held by Zheng Kezang, that is, the commander; The appointment of Zhang Wenjie as the pacification envoy can actually only lead the only 100 people currently available.

Subsequently, Zheng Kezang handed over the training plan designed early in the morning to Zhang Wenjie, and ordered him to lead the family, in addition to continuing the construction of the secret base, and starting special training according to the training plan in the afternoon. This special training program is mainly designed around reconnaissance, concealment, camouflage, tracking, anti-tracking, sabotage, assassination and other aspects. To complete this training program, it takes a lot of talent, it doesn't take a day.

As for the morning time, it is natural to cultivate the Blood Sword Sutra, which is the most important homework of this secret unit. However, because the kung fu of "Blood Knife Sutra" is too evil, it is easy to go mad, the light ones are broken, and the possibility of no longer being able to practice martial arts, and the heavy ones die immediately, plus Zhang Wenjie is not like Liu Zhibin, who has a deep foundation in martial arts, so the early cultivation has to be personally guided by Zheng Kezang and carefully guarded.

As a result, Zheng Kezang stayed in this valley temporarily, on the one hand, to guide them to cultivate the "Blood Sword Sutra", and on the other hand, to formulate a detailed Penghu development strategy. You must know that it is not a simple matter to grasp the military and political power on the ruling side. Whether it is the supply of the army, the financial and material resources of local construction, or the policy of administration, it is necessary to have a thorough and detailed plan. These plans must not only be considered in all aspects and be truly feasible, but they must also be approved by Zheng Jing and Liu Guoxuan. What's more, Zheng Kezang also has a big plan, which not only requires Zheng Jing's consent, but also requires a lot of financial support to be truly implemented.

This treatment is more than 1 month, fortunately, Zheng Kezang not only completed the detailed Penghu development strategy, but also all the members of the secret army, including Zhang Wenjie, have completed the introductory cultivation of the "Blood Sword Sutra", and passed the most dangerous initial stage of cultivation, and the next thing is the water mill, not only does it take a lot of time, but it also needs enough, a steady stream of life and blood "watering", which has to be planned even better, fortunately, Zheng Kezang has already made up his mind in his heart. At this point, Zheng Kezang was finally able to return to Taiwan with peace of mind, welcome Chen Yan'er to Penghu Island, and persuade Zheng Jing and Liu Guoxuan to agree to the big plan he was going to implement.

In the study room of the palace of Yanping County, Zheng Kezang's mouth is like a river, from the construction of the Penghu Islands, to the reform of the army, and finally the policy of governance, which is detailed to Zheng Jing and Liu Guoxuan, in order to get their recognition and support.

In terms of defense construction, Zheng Kezang not only paid attention to defending the big islands such as Beida SX Island and Beishan to the north of the Babao Waterway, but also did not miss the small islands such as Babao, Hujing, Tongpan, Huayu, and Maoyu to the south of the Babao Waterway. Zheng Kezang's plan is to build defensive fortresses on these islands, and at least more than 1,000 troops need to be stationed, and Zheng Kezang's existing 5,000 men and horses are obviously not enough, not to mention that Zheng Kezang has other arrangements for this battalion of pro-army, so the Dongning battalion also needs to allocate enough military horses. You must know that in history, it was because of Liu Guoxuan's neglect of these small islands south of the Bajiao Waterway that the Qing army and naval division under the command of Shi Lang from the south were able to take advantage of the situation and have an advance base for stationing, resting and attacking. For this point, Zheng Jing and Liu Guoxuan's concern is that the cost is too huge, not only does the construction of a defensive fortress require a lot of manpower and material resources, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses are stationed all year round, and a large amount of grain and grass supplies are needed, but in order for the Ming Zheng Dynasty to be able to maintain long-term stability and resist the invasion of the Qing court in the future, Zheng Kezang was finally successfully convinced.

As for Zheng Kezang's reform of the army establishment, Zheng Jing and Liu Guoxuan are both great experts in commanding the army, and they can see the benefits of the reform at a glance, but considering the difficulty of popularizing the whole army, it is by no means possible to complete it overnight, so it was decided to find three elite battalions to start trying.

As for the policy of the Penghu Islands, Zheng Kezang planned as follows: first, the implementation of the tuntian system in the Penghu Islands and the encouragement of the garrison soldiers to settle down on the spot, which could greatly reduce the supply of grain and grass for the imperial court; Secondly, within 10 years, the Penghu Islands will be exempted from taxation, encouraging people to move to the Penghu Islands to live, and at the same time plundering the population of the inland coastal areas to enrich the population base of the Penghu Islands as soon as possible; Finally, strengthen trade between the Penghu Islands and the inland, overseas, and even the Dutch East India Company, the former Taiwanese occupier, encourage trade, and obtain rich finances and food; Based on the above three points, the self-sufficiency of the Penghu Islands will be gradually realized. For Zheng Kezang's detailed policy policy, Zheng Jing is meaningless, and even more bluntly praises Zheng Kezang's talent in the world, and at the same time does not forget to remind Zheng Kezang to follow the step-by-step process, not to be too hasty, especially on inland and overseas issues, we must be cautious, and then cautious.

So far, Zheng Kezang has secured the position of the supreme leader of the Penghu Islands in the short term, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he will gradually build his independent small kingdom. In the end, only another important purpose of his trip remained, his big plan.

Speaking of which, for the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Kezang was most impressed by the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, or the king of the kingdom Zhu Youzhen, but the famous one, which can be said to be half discredited, and even the notorious Jinyiwei in the later period. And Zheng Kezang's big plan is to rebuild Jinyiwei and firmly control it in his own hands, for which he has already begun to lay out, not only persuaded Liu Guoxuan and Chen Jinnan in advance, and obtained the support of the two, even the formation of the pro-army, as well as the preparation of the secret army and the secret base, are also the prototype of the official Jinyiwei. In Zheng Kezang's mind, the formation of the ******** institution of Jinyiwei in history is still very meaningful and effective, but the later rulers were too indulgent to it, and they were even more inhuman, and handed over power to a group of physically crippled and perverted eunuchs, which made Jinyiwei completely degenerate and became a private armed force for ambitious people who wanted their ambitions.

As for Jinyiwei, Zheng Jing's heart is also extremely responsible, not only willing to reproduce it, serve him, supervise hundreds of officials, and monitor the inland, but also worried that he will become the ghost of the late Ming Dynasty. In the end, Zheng Kezang and Liu Guoxuan reluctantly agreed under the facts, reasoning, and full persuasion. Moreover, Zheng Kezang is his eldest son, and he has won his trust, and intends to pass the throne to him after a hundred years, and now the reconstruction of Jinyiwei is in the hands of Zheng Kezang, which is just a little earlier.
