Liu Ruis and Lin Xue were a little disappointed, more than 100 scholars from various provinces, and they were all quite famous talents, gathered together and did not discuss literature and art.

Lin Xue brought all the painting boxes and planned to create them on the spot.

Liu Ru also secretly brought a piano, if there is a scholar on the spot, he can immediately stroke the piano and sing.

It's a pity that all morning was devoted to discussing political issues.

"Am I wrong and I don't have to call you here?" Chen Qianji smiled bitterly.

As the chief bookkeeper of Luling County, he wanted to engage in some atmosphere groups, but the atmosphere at the scene was a little too intense.

At noon, the preserved fruit was put away and the meal was served.

Ordinary family stir-fry, but there is wine and meat, but it also makes the guests and hosts happy.

In the afternoon, we will take a boat ashore and go to the outskirts of the city to visit the army training.

When crossing the river, Chen Zilong suddenly asked in a low voice: "Brother Yi Zhong, do you really think that the friends are in trouble in the world?" ”

Xia Yunyi sighed: "As soon as the party struggle starts, it will be endless. Today, it's nothing more than a struggle for power. It's the Restoration Society, and there are many speculative villains, where is there any gentleman's party? ”

"Well, I won't talk about that. The founding monarch of the country, how can there be any party strife," Chen Zilong said with emotion, "In my opinion, the Ji'an General Military Mansion is quite similar to the palace of Emperor Hongwu, and the Military Academy is a replica of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies." To move the capital to Nanjing, how to customize is the root, and should there be a cabinet system? ”

Xia Yunyi shook his head: "Is it possible to restore the previous prime minister system?" ”

Chen Zilong frowned and said: "This is really embarrassing, the prime minister has the disadvantages of the prime minister, and the cabinet also has the disadvantages of the cabinet, where is the complete system?" ”

Chen Zilong, Fang Yizhi, and Hou Fangyu all saw it relatively clearly, and wanted to save Ming from the system.

It's a pity that they became officials too late, and they are soft-spoken.

Historically, the content of their sparse work varies, but they all hope that Chongzhen will first straighten out the powers and responsibilities of the cabinet, science and technology, and the six ministries.

If the powers and responsibilities of the central agencies are not clear, how can they govern the country?

Chen Zilong has a letter, and he can see that he is anxious between the lines, and he almost doesn't explicitly say that Chongzhen has no responsibility. The translation goes like this: "What does Your Majesty want to do, don't think about enlightening the ministers, just do it with perseverance, don't stop doing it when you encounter obstacles...... Your Majesty wants to push the executive order, don't discuss it with the ministers repeatedly, just let the ministers obey the orders, you listen to too many ministers' opinions, it's useless! ”

But Chongzhen just didn't take responsibility.

If you want to do something, you don't know what you say, and you hint at a certain minister to say it. If the opposition to this matter is too great, Chongzhen will not do it immediately, and let the minister who raised the matter take the blame.

What kind of decree does he want to implement, Chongzhen is afraid of doing something wrong again, so he will inevitably discuss it with the ministers repeatedly, and the ministers will take the blame for the chaos.

Chongzhen's news is not closed, he not only opened up his speech, let the ministers give more advice, and even let the people go directly to the court.

Too much news means no news.

You say a word, I say a word, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable. Chongzhen is faced with countless information all day long, and the root is unable to make correct decisions.

Between this drawback, Fang Yizhi proposed to abolish the Sanemon (Kedao Cilin) in the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, so as not to let the stupid officials talk nonsense, and the corresponding actual position was changed to Liucao to be responsible.

At this moment, Chen Zilong is not thinking about being an official and fighting for power, nor is he debating whether it is correct to divide the fields, but if he assists Zhao Han to create a system.

Chen Zilong said: "After the founding of the new dynasty, the six departments must no longer have the right to supervise, otherwise sooner or later there will be chaos. If there are no bad things in the six branches, the party struggle can be reduced by at least half! ”

The cabinet is the decision-making body, the six ministries are the executive body, and the six sections are sandwiched between them as lubricants and supervisors.

This design is inherently problematic, and it allows supervision and lubrication. Once the matter is done sincerely, the supervision is not supervised, the lubrication is not lubricated, and the machine is directly out of order.

Zhang Dai leaned over and said: "It is true that the deliberations should be neglected, and the six departments can be retained, but the supervision power must be cancelled!" ”

Those scholars of the Society and let them innovate the system may not be enough. But picking out Ming's system problems is very good at them all, and their various suggestions can allow Zhao Han to avoid repeating Ming's mistakes.

Several people discussed all the way and came to the school field on the outskirts of Beijing.

I saw thousands of people lined up, actually standing still, as if thousands of sculptures.

Lu Xiangguan was shocked: "What is this practice? ”

Zhao Han said with a smile: "Bento is a martial arts stake." ”

Qi Jiguang trained the troops, and he also practiced the queue first, and then became familiar with the orders, and the standing posture was added by Zhao Han.

The rest is pretty much the same, just in a different form.

Qi Jiguang also asked the soldiers to memorize military regulations, and they were ordered by the flag and the method of drilling, and they would be beaten if they memorized one wrong.

It is also necessary to train endurance and will, which Qi Jiguang called "training mental strength", so that the soldiers are indomitable and not easy to collapse.

Practice physical strength: Wear heavy armor during training, and carry heavy objects without heavy armor.

Foot training: Let the soldier run with a sandbag tied to it, and run for a mile without panting.

Arm strength: Drill with special equipment, which is heavier than actual combat weapons.

Some of Qi Jiguang's training projects were retained by Zhao Han, and some were added and changed by Zhao Han.

Pull-ups, push-ups, these bases are added in, and they are mainly used for punishment. Hit the board at every turn, change it to punish push-ups, running, and the like.

"The town!"

Li Zheng came with the officers to pay a visit.

This winter, Zhao Han expanded his army again.

5,000 people were added to the Western Academy Army, led by Li Zhenglai.

An additional 2,000 cavalry men were to be trained by Hu Dinggui, and Lu Xiangguan and Liu Tangong were also thrown to Jeju Island.

The war horses on Jeju Island are too rubbish, with an average shoulder height of less than 1.22 meters, and for the time being, they can only train horseback firecrackers.

The Shanghai Navy Division was added, and from Zheng Zhilong, six warships were bought at a low price. Zheng Zhilong's general, Hong Xu, came over with a small number of sailors to take charge of commanding troops and training the navy. Assign him some missionary officers, and the soldiers are also fishermen in Shanghai, so he is not afraid that the Shanghai sailors will become Hong Xu's personal army.

In this way, the total number of regular troops under Zhao Han reached more than 35,000, of which the number of army troops was 29,000.

Mao Yuanyi stepped forward and arched his hand: "Meet the head town." ”

Zhao Han returned the courtesy: "Are you still used to living?" ”

"All the best." Mao Yuanyi said with a smile.

Mao Yuanyi finally fell, and it is estimated that he will not die early from alcoholism.

It's just a military researcher, not even a military theorist. It is impossible to let him come over to command the troops, but he serves in the Department of Military Affairs, which is responsible for summing up and improving the various military systems of the same army.

At the same time, in accordance with the training of fellow non-commissioned officers and the method of battle in formation, combined with the experience of officers of various departments, the latest edition of the "Infantry Army Drill Code" is being compiled.

There was also a "Infantry Army Drill Code" before, and it was compiled by Zhao Han himself. Some of the content is advanced, some of it is unrealistic, and it is cut and redacted every year as appropriate.

After a stick of incense, thousands of newly formed regular troops were still standing there.

Zhao Han asked Lu Xiangguan, who was planning to join the army: "How are my soldiers?" ”

"If you don't move like a mountain, you really have a strong army!" Lu Xiangsheng sighed.

It snowed a few days ago, and there was still snow on the side of the school yard, so I felt stiff when I stood casually, let alone stood in a formation with my head held high.

Zhao Han said to the soldiers: "These are all new recruits, and they only organized training last month. ”

The recruits are all ghosts, all of them are peasant soldiers who have been trained for more than three years, but they have just been transferred to the regular army!

This year, a number of regular soldiers, who are over 35 years old but whose positions are below (including the number of officers), have also been dismissed, and all of them have retired and returned to work normally. They are given some discharge pay, and the police stations in each city are given priority to hir, which means that it is easy to apply for a police officer.

Not to mention anything else, just age, no soldiers over 35 years old, the quality of this soldier is enough to be proud of the world.

Let's put it this way, if one day there is a fight with the Manchus, and a certain city is attacked by the Tartar army, the police of the whole city can organize the people to defend it.

After the military posture training, there was another queue, and the soldiers began to walk around and rest.

After moving their bodies, they warmed up with a trot tied to a sandbag, followed by equipment training, and the firecrackers practiced shooting.

Although these scholars who came to visit belonged to laymen, they could distinguish their spirits. Just the roaring morale during the drill can crush the Ming officers and soldiers, no wonder Zhao Tianwang has been winning battles.

Zhao Han's generals, Huang Qi, Li Zheng, Jiang Shan, Jiang Liang, Liu Zhu, and Huang Shun, were all from the same town (and the next village).

An ordinary town, can it really produce so many talents?

Relying on the soldiers, they have been winning battles. As we win more battles, we become more experienced and our ability to command troops is also trained.

The founding monarchs of the past dynasties seem to be a bunch of cattle in their hometowns, but in fact, this is how they came. The same is true for military generals, and the same is true for Wenchen, they can continue to grow and evolve.

Take a look at those general counties in New China, the top five counties, only at the beginning of the founding of the country, a total of 272 generals were produced.

Zhang Dai whispered to his fellow villagers: "Don't think about your own land, such a soldier, who in the world can be the enemy?" Even if you encounter the Tartar slaves outside the Guan, you are afraid that you can win the battle, and you will definitely recapture Liaodong within ten years! ”

Zhao Han brought these soldiers to let them see the military might, so that some people would not have unnecessary illusions.

"Alas!"

Chen Zilong sighed secretly, how good it would be if these strong soldiers could be used by Ming, how could they have lost the city and lost the land all these years?

But after thinking about it, the white pole soldiers and the Qi family army are not strong, and they have not been killed by civilian officials and military generals. If these strong soldiers are given to Ming, it is estimated that they will be abolished in a year, because they will definitely be deducted from military salaries, and the strong soldiers are all fed with silver.

Chen Zilong asked Zhao Han: "General Town, such a strong army, how much is the military spending?" ”

Zhao Han said with a smile: "The salary of each soldier is only seventy percent of the Guanning army. However, all the actual salaries are paid, and the daily food is better, and the regular soldiers will see meat every day, which is also an expense. ”

"Meat and ...... must be seen every day"

This remark made the scholars staggered, many scholars from small landlords did not dare to eat meat every day!

It is no wonder that Zhao Han occupies the territory of several provinces, and there are only more than 30,000 regular soldiers under his command, and it costs a lot of money to get in just every day's food.

Just as the soldiers were observing the training, Zhao Han suddenly asked Liu Rushi: "Are you a clerk in the county government?" ”
