049 What is an army?

Yue Wenqing's legs trembled a little when he ran towards the Weizi camp, because he saw that there was an extra group of people on the platform. He didn't know most of them, but he knew the boss of the military department, Inspector Sun, and His Majesty the Emperor.

Today's first value is here!

He took a deep breath and accurately stood in front of his top boss, Sheng Jiangong, the deputy general of the Weizi Battalion, and the next thing is to tell him the news that His Majesty has stood behind him, don't let him turn around and make a fool of himself.

Saluting, he knocked and knocked again. Well, he obviously saw Sheng Jiangong's puzzled expression.

"Report ............ All the members of the Jingzhen Weizi Battalion have been assembled! ”

Yue Wenqing did not face Sheng Jiangong straight, but turned a little direction.

"Roger, sort it out and stand by." Sheng Jiangong also knocked twice when he returned the salute, but it was not very obvious, as if it was knocked down and bounced up and down again.

Sheng Jiangong was not in a hurry, calmly watched Yue Wenqing turn around, and after running back to his team, he sorted out his military uniform, belt and sword in turn. Unlike the practical military uniforms of the soldiers in black and soft armor below, Sheng Jiangong can already wear standard military uniforms with copper buckles.

Only then did he turn around and run towards the high platform under the Black Dragon Banner.

According to the rules, the only person he reported to at this time was Yuan Chonghuan, not anyone else, so he knew that there was only Yuan Zongbing in his eyes at this time.

He had taken His Majesty's lessons, and he knew that He could sit down while His Majesty was standing. He was also familiar with the officer's handbook, and knew when to salute His Majesty and when not to see His Majesty. Sure enough, at this time, only General Yuan was standing on the command platform, and the others, including His Majesty, were standing aside. After hundreds of drills, as long as the sense of awe for His Majesty is controlled, there is no possibility of mistakes.

watched the entire team start their daily mountain training under the leadership of Kong Youde, the officer on duty. Zhu Youzhen is quite satisfied, it has only been less than three months, and now such results are already very happy.

Sun Chengzong, who accompanied Xu Guangqi, was surprised.

If you want to give him the money that Jingying has spent recently, he is also confident that he will build a powerful army, but it is definitely not the army in front of him that is completely different from all the teams of the Ming Dynasty. He's seen too many armies fighting for money, and even if they're strong, they're greedy bandits. And this is an army with awe and gratitude.

He couldn't see through the young man next to him who was not yet twenty years old.

He summoned Sun Chuanting to the official school, and what he did was nothing more than to count the number of people, register them, and then place the families of this group of big-headed soldiers in Changping County, which he had snatched back, and divided the fields according to the standard of eleven acres per person and seven acres for his family. Then he taught Sun Chuanting that Qianzhuang issued a salary fold to every officer and soldier, and he stamped a seal for one season as a soldier, and he could go to Qianzhuang to receive money when he turned around. taught Sun Chuanting, and sent Sun Chuanting to Zunhua to count the military fields and garrisons. This is good, the silver of the court does not need to be transported to the big camp, the generals in the big camp no longer drink the blood of the soldiers, and the big soldiers no longer gamble. What's even better is that, listening to the people in the money bank, it seems that a large part of the silver in the imperial court will also be untaken out for the time being.

Zhu Youzhen sneered beside him, what is this. In the future, it will be promoted, and this annual salary of seven million taels of silver from the imperial court will become the first deposit of the Royal Bank, do you know?

His Majesty began to popularize the handbook for officers and soldiers in the army, how to salute the superiors and subordinates, how to bathe every day, how to keep the camp neat and clean, and even hired three or four hundred women from Changping County to provide laundry services for the officers and soldiers. He began to think that this was the bad taste of His Majesty, who was born in the royal family, but after a long time, he realized that the change in appearance changed everyone's spirit. Including Yuan Chonghuan now, he is reluctant to wear court clothes, but prefers to wear black and shiny riding boots and copper-buckled military uniforms to move around.

Later, when His Majesty took them to visit the construction of Changping County under Lu Xiangsheng, he proposed to involve the army in the construction of the county school, and regularly set aside some people every seven days to build houses and dig wells for peasant households. This time the high-ranking officials were all against it, and who knew that His Majesty did not look at them, and almost rudely announced this rule at the fixed assembly of all the people.

His Majesty, who he felt was important, never intervened, with the firearms foreign teachers brought by Sun Yuanhua, the cavalry teachers found by Yuan Chonghuan, and the veteran who followed him for many years, after Sun Yuanhua brought in the master craftsmen from among the craftsmen, this so-called army academy became more and more decent.

Just as he was thinking about it, he vaguely heard the emperor calling him.

"The old minister is a little distracted, Your Majesty."

Zhu Youzhen didn't care, he also knew that he had been under too much pressure recently, and the old man almost didn't live in the military department or in the school.

"I'm asking you about the eight people outside with a team of nearly 10,000 people, and I'm asking you if your opinion is disrupted or if each has its own belt. When the spring starts next year and the family goes back, will they go back to their own countries, or will the military department arrange the defense ground in a unified manner? ”

Sun Chengzong thinks that Zhu Youzhen is better at this, and he doesn't mess around with important things, which is quite worry-free.

"The military department has a charter." He thought for a moment, picked up the important ones and said:

"First, Zuo Liangyu, Qin Liangyu, Hong Chengchou and Zhao Shujiao of Shaanxi and Gansu will all return to Beijing in the spring of next year, and the military department wants to meet them, and the military department also needs Beijing to inspect and report on their work. Second, this time we will expand the recruitment of guerrilla commanders and above, and recommend that they be evaluated by official schools. In addition, the camp of the Beijing division was still empty, and it was not a problem to arrange for 18,000 people, who went to the official school and venue for training during the day and entered the camp at night. In the end, the military department's suggestion was to rotate one round, eliminate the old, weak, sick, and disabled, and after the army was reorganized, it would be allocated and dispatched in the order of first Liaodong, then Zunhua, then Shaanxi, Gansu, and then Huguang. ”

Zhu Youzhen thought about it and said:

"Remember to prepare a pair of main generals for me, and it's best not to use the current deputy general. The first pair of two people is the one who can lead the soldiers, the kind that can teach people, the kind that is ruthless and fast, and can fight alone. Zhu Youzhen described while thinking.

"The second group of two people is mainly disciplined and flexible, and they can fight almost well. Anyway, you pay attention, I'm going to use it after three months. ”

"Is Your Majesty in the military department or?"

Zhu Youzhen said: "For the time being, you can settle down directly, and then we will talk about it later." ”

As he spoke, Li Ruo came up and reported: "Your Majesty, the braid team has been arranged and can be used at any time." ”

Zhu Youzhen pointed to Sun Chengzong, "It is Sun Xianggong who sings the opera today, and I am a play-watching person below." Let's listen to Sun Xianggong's arrangement. I also want to see the achievements of Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Yuanhua over the years. ”
