Chapter Fifty-Six: It's All Empty Money
"How many people are registered in the Imperial Horse Supervisor right now!"
At the gate of the barracks at the foot of Yanshan, when the carriage stopped, Zhu Youzhen got out of the car and asked straight to the point, and as soon as these words came out, the commanders and generals of the four guards and the first battalion looked at me and I looked at you, and they couldn't hold back a word.
Yang Lian and the two directors of the military department, seven or eight junior officials also got out of the car one after another, their expressions were a little surprised, obviously they didn't expect Zhu Youzhen to not even give face, so they asked directly.
"What? Don't say? Haven't you heard about Yulin Sanwei and other generals?! ”
Zhu Youzhen frowned, and then snorted angrily.
"Your Highness is angry, there are still more than 34,000 eunuchs in the imperial horse at present, including more than 60 eunuchs in charge, more than 1,300 eunuchs in the field, and 9,700 eunuchs in the book."
"In addition, there are more than 9,000 guards and more than 700 veterinarians......
The leading general knelt on the ground, looking nervous, and kept talking about the number of eunuchs and people, without mentioning the specific number of soldiers and horses.
Zhu You saw that this group of people didn't dare to directly say how many people there were, so they went to pull people from other positions.
It's just that when he said this, Zhu Youzhen only calculated the number of the four guards and one battalion of the Imperial Horse Prison after a little calculation.
No more than 14,000, about 10,000 empty salary.
In other words, the empty pay is close to half......
"......" Zhu Youzhen held back his anger and did not attack, and looked at them and calmed down:
"How is the main palace room of Qingling? Can the imperial examination be buried? ”
"Back to Your Highness, I have been buried." Wang Chengen saluted slightly, which made Zhu Youzhen breathe a sigh of relief.
He couldn't have a direct attack now, let alone kill all of them.
To put it bluntly, it is not their fault that the empty salary is not their fault, and the soldiers in Beijing are only five taels or six dollars of silver for a year's military salary, who can they support?
In addition, most of the money confiscated by the previous imperial horse supervisor and the admiral eunuch was also obtained by embezzling the emperor's store and military salaries.
Now that the mastermind is dead, the rest are accomplices, but not killing does not mean that Zhu Youzhen will not be held responsible.
"You consciously handed over the amount of silver obtained from embezzlement over the years to Cheng'en, and those who handed over the amount will not be guilty of the past and go home to support the elderly."
"If there is a person who hides and does not pay, the whole family will be assigned to Guizhou, and the main culprit will be beheaded!"
"Your Highness Longen, Your Highness Longen......" Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, this group of generals had no time to suffer from pain, so they could only kowtow constantly.
At the same time, in the distance, Lu Wenzhao also took Yulin Sanwei to a short distance outside the barracks.
Seeing the army rushing to arrive, Zhu Youzhen felt more confident in his heart, and went directly to Wang Chengen:
"You talk to Lu Wenzhao, tomorrow I will summon the Yulin Sanwei and Siwei 1st Battalion to the school ground, I have something to say."
"The slave takes the command." Wang Chengen saluted slightly, and then Zhu Youzhen looked at the messy appearance of the barracks, walked into the barracks with a frown, and began to patrol with Yang Lian and the others and Jinyiwei.
While patrolling the camp, he could see the thin soldiers, they looked at the Jinyi Guard curiously, but if the Jinyi Guard turned back, they immediately lowered their heads.
The rabble......
Looking at this group of thin soldiers, although Zhu Youzhen knew that the Imperial Horse Supervisor was not much better, he didn't expect it to be so bad.
Along the way, the soldiers he saw were all men with a body of five feet one inch, or five feet two inches, and their height was only about 1.63 to 65 meters after conversion.
With such a height, if it is thrown to any force in this era, it can be regarded as a good soldier, but it is not in Daming.
Not to mention anything else, such as Yulin Sanwei, although there are only more than 6,600 people on the register, the people in the register are all men who are five feet five and a half upward, that is, one meter seven or six is still facing up.
Daming tailoring ruler, one foot 32 centimeters, is very convenient for Zhu Youjian to calculate.
He can't be like the forbidden army of the Song Dynasty, just requiring high height.
However, the first point of the selection of troops is clear, physical strength is not lost, this sentence is experience, can be used.
Obviously, he can choose a group of soldiers above 1.75 meters to join the army, but he doesn't need to choose 1.6 meters.
In the era of cold weapons, the taller and burier the soldier, the more conducive to the morale of the army.
Such as the anti-Japanese aid to the DPRK, Li Rusong's Liaodong iron cavalry.
The Liaodong Han with a height of 3,000 and 1.7 meters can stab left and right in tens of thousands of Japanese military formations with a height of about 1.4 meters.
It's not discrimination, it's just that the battlefield is so realistic.
Zhu Youzhen still doesn't believe it, not to mention anything else, there are nearly 10 million people in Beizhili, can't he find 30,000 men with a height of 5 feet 5?
"Disarmament!"
Zhu Youzhen thought to himself in his heart, and then while patrolling the camp, he said his thoughts to the Jinyi Wei Baihu next to him.
"You write down what I said, transcribe it, and send it to the small flag and the commander of the army."
"Yes!" Hearing Zhu Youzhen say this, Jinyi Wei Baihu immediately ordered someone to transcribe it, and Zhu Youzhen also said based on his previous life marching and his experience of reading military books:
"Those who march and camp do not live at the mouth of the big valley, and are prone to conflict with the enemy and horses on all sides, and the name is Tianzao."
"Two do not live at the end of the mountain, after the prevention of people and horses along the mountain to break my camp, the front of the danger by the thief to stick to my no access to the road, the name of the dragon's head is also"
"Three do not live in the place of death, it is said that the camp is not near the wet and cold place, people and horses have many night terrors, and the soldiers who have lived for a long time will suffer from wind and cold"
"The four non-dwelling places are in vain to say that the lower low, the middle and the highest, and the above the ground are wide and flat, and there are posts in the middle and high, such as the shape of covered gold, if the camp is set up on the eight sides to attract the wind, the surrounding turn is subject to the enemy."
"Five don't live in hell, it's said to be ...... under high school"
Zhu Youzhen sprinkled more than 600 words, and the 27 precautions for camping and terrain selection made Jinyiwei, who was in charge of recording, and Yang Lian, who was an observer, slightly surprised.
They listened carefully to Zhu Youzhen's words, and after thinking about it, they only felt a cold sweat.
The Jinyi guards thought about it, in the past, when they went to Biansai, they camped at most to do the first two, but Zhu Youzhen said thirteen points about the risk of camping, all of which had hidden truths.
Even Yang Lian also listened with a face, although many of Zhu Youzhen's words can be found in the book of war, but the book of war is dead, people are alive, and some of Zhu Youzhen's opinions are very novel.
The Jinyi guard who was in charge of recording also remembered quickly, and Yang Lian also listened carefully, only Zhu Youzhen continued:
"Hundreds of miles outside the camp, birds fly and feathers fall all the night and feel the main general, so that the clear and virtuous, majestic and secretive, birds and beasts dare not violate the boundary."
"If the camp is near a man without water, there shall be a spring under him where he dwells in the place where the reeds and water weeds live, and where there are grasshoppers, and there shall be a well for water, or if he is looking for the traces of wild beasts, and there shall be water not far from the road."
"If the army goes to war, it is necessary to prepare water, and the entourage can be used in sheepskin cysts or large gourds and bamboo tubes."
Speaking of this, Zhu Youzhen stopped what he had to say, and then looked at Jinyi Weidao, who was in charge of recording:
"Did you write it down?"
"Back to Your Highness, I wrote it down." Jin Yiwei nodded, and Zhu Youzhen said:
"Translated into the vernacular, what I said is too straightforward for fear that you won't be able to remember, the military orders given to the army must be in the vernacular, don't be as plain as the civilian officials."
"Yes, I was taught." Hearing this, the brocade guards all bowed their heads, and Zhu Youzhen glanced at the camp and pointed at it and said:
"According to what I just said, according to the process of camping, re-tie this military camp for me, and call the three guards of Yulin and the first battalion of the four guards together."
"Humble position, go tell Lu Tongzhi!" When Jinyi Wei Baihu heard this, he hurriedly made a compilation and sent someone to send the recorded things to Lu Wenzhao.
After Zhu Youzhen frowned and walked around the barracks, he also frowned and walked towards the south gate of the barracks......
