"Wang Liu"

"This is three hundred rewards, take it and go to camp with your chief flag officer."

At the gate of the Yanshan barracks, thousands of people lined up in a long line, and according to the preparation of the general flag, they stepped forward one by one to receive the reward.

Fortunately, Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun made the south gate of the barracks large enough at the beginning, and the barracks gate was two feet and four feet wide, which was enough to accommodate five people in an orderly manner to receive the reward at the same time.

The three guards of Yulin, who received the reward, went to various places with the general flag as the establishment under the condition that Lu Wenzhao assigned a brocade guard, and re-encamped according to Zhu Youzhen's requirements.

Ten Jinyi guards copied the book and handed it out, copied out a copy, and sent it to the Jinyi guard in charge of supervision, and asked the Jinyi guard to go to the camp again with the general flag of more than 50 people.

Yang Lian, who didn't say a word, said at this time:

"Yulin Sanwei marched more than 50 miles today, and they should rest and recuperate."

He put forward his own opinions, indicating that he did not approve of Zhu Youzhen's approach, but his tone did not have the previous feeling of being aggressive, giving people the feeling of an elder reminding the younger generation.

When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he was not angry, but said:

"It's good to be tired after a long march, but the current wooden village can't block any cold wind for them in winter."

"If you don't want to be blown by the north wind in winter, you can only be more tired now, and I am afraid that I will not be able to dig the soil two days later."

Zhu Youzhen's words made Yang Lian nod slightly, feeling that it made sense to say this, so he continued to say nothing, just watching the scene of labor, not knowing what he was thinking.

However, I have to say that with the scale of 20,000 people, the speed of work is still very fast.

In accordance with Zhu Youzhen's requirements, they first set the city wall outward as the moat in the future, and then began to excavate.

It has only been two days of first snow, and the soil is not hard, and if it were two more nights, the ground might be as hard as an iron plate, and the only way to repair the walls would be to wait until the beginning of spring next year.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen did not ask them to tamp up the wall within a few days, but asked them to dig out the soil first.

As long as enough soil is dug up, and then glued with the old method of triple soil, and tamped with a stone plate little by little, it will be used to build a wall in winter.

At such a speed, only two hours later, a deep ditch three zhang wide, four feet deep, and six miles long was dug in the place where the original wooden village was nine zhang outward.

The earth excavated from the deep ditch was placed three feet outward from the wooden wall, and a long slope of earth was piled up.

"Alright, let's eat."

After watching two hours pass, and after the sky gradually darkened, Zhu Youzhen called someone Mingjin.

With the sound of "bells and bells", all the soldiers returned to the barracks with hoes and bamboo baskets, and dispersed with the general flag.

Yang Lian and the others were also arranged to live, took a day's car, and went back to rest.

However, Zhu Youzhen, even after a day of driving, was still full of energy, and after asking someone to draw the drawings of the Yanshan camp, he continued to observe the drawings.

On the drawings, this Yanshan camp is six miles long in the south, eight miles long in the east and west, and six miles in the north, which is a boxy rectangular military camp.

The soldiers' quarters of the various guards and battalions have been built, and the rammed earth walls and wooden planks and straw roofs do not look very good, but there is no need to build a green brick and green tile in the barracks.

Although the walls of the barracks are not good, the rest place for the soldiers is in accordance with Zhu Youzhen's regulations, and the five people are in one room.

The military establishment of the Ming Dynasty is too much, and the guard system is already overwhelmed, and Zhu Youzhen does not plan to maintain the guard system.

He was ready to use the battalion military system, which was not thoroughly promoted in the late Ming Dynasty, and after making some improvements, he trained to become the military system of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

The basic structure of the battalion system is to have five people in the team, which is also the most basic level of establishment.

Although the Qi family's army has a team of 12 people, Zhu Youzhen still wants to use the army.

With this thought, under the leadership of Wang Chengen, he came to the only small courtyard of the blue brick house in the barracks.

This courtyard is not big, covering an area of only three acres, and the front yard is the meeting hall of the imperial horse supervisor, and only the backyard is Zhu Youzhen's personal place.

There is also a main house, two side houses and a back kitchen in the backyard, as well as two rows of cottages on either side of the back door.

The main house is divided into the left wing room and the right wing room of the main hall, and among the two side rooms, one of them is still a study, and the other is left for some important generals to stay overnight.

Only the two rows of huts are where the eunuchs who serve Zhu Youzhen, as well as the cooks and brocade guards, live.

There are three huts on the left and right, each of which can accommodate six people, which is a total of thirty-six people.

The number of such guards is not large, and the place is not large, and all of this is requested by Zhu Youzhen himself.

He came to Changping to endure hardships, and if he wanted to be pampered, he would go back to the Forbidden City.

Therefore, as soon as he entered the backyard, Wang Chengen confessed:

"Your Highness, this command post is too simple, and the slaves and maids are dead."

"I told you to do this, what's the saying that you won't die?" Zhu Youzhen took a sip of tea and nodded secretly.

Although the place where he lives is not as good as the Forbidden City, he brings enough things to eat and drink, and there are seven or eight catties of tribute tea in Fujian, which is enough to drink for a long time.

Thinking so, he put down his teacup and sat down on the main seat and glanced at the main hall.

Wang Chengen, Lu Wenzhao, and four brocade guards.

"Where is Man Gui now? What about the Zhejiang soldiers and the stone pillar soldiers? ”

Zhu Youzhen asked Lu Wenzhao, and he quickly replied:

"Back to His Royal Highness, according to the news of Nanzhen Fusi, Man Gui rode to Changping with twelve personal soldiers on the fifth day of the first lunar month, galloped all the way, and arrived at the right tunwei of Guangning early this morning."

"According to their speed, it is expected that it will only take eight days to reach the Yanshan military camp."

"The Zhejiang soldiers set off from Wen'an County this morning, and according to the speed, they should arrive in Bazhou now."

"Tomorrow they should rest in Huangcun for a day, and the day after tomorrow they will detour to the capital and continue to go north, and after being picked up by Admiral Cao, they will continue to go north, and they should arrive at the barracks on the eleventh day of the lunar month in four days."

"The stone pillar soldiers entered Baoding Mansion early this morning, and according to the distance, it should take ten days to reach Changping."

Lu Wenzhao told the news in his hand in 1510, and after Zhu Youzhen heard it, he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

As long as the stone pillar soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers arrived in Changping, they would help him train for a month.

You don't need to be an elite horseman, just remember the formation and then practice slowly.

However, in this way, that is, the time for recruiting troops is less than five days at the moment.

In five days, a certain number of soldiers and horses must be recruited, or even if they are not recruited, they must be kicked out of the more than 13,000 people in the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

Thinking about it like this, Zhu Youzhen immediately said to Lu Wenzhao:

"Now you go to all the hundred households of Yulin Sanwei, and after selecting six capable thousand households, tell them to get up two quarters of an hour early tomorrow and stand on both sides of the school field."

Saying that, Zhu Youzhen looked at Wang Chengen and said:

"Inform the four guards and one battalion of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and tell them to light tomorrow and sound silver!"

"Command!" Wang Chengen and Lu Wenzhao returned the salute one after another, and Zhu Youzhen bowed slightly when he saw this, and thought of some ways to recruit soldiers in his mind before saying:

"There are four guards under my Imperial Horse Guard, right?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, there are four guards, all of whom are near Yanshan, and there are more than 60,000 people in Dingkou."

"In addition, there are nearly 200,000 Dingkou and millions of military households, such as Huangzhuang and Imperial Horse Guards."

Dingkou also refers to men, so it seems that if there is a compulsory recruitment, Zhu Youzhen can choose soldiers from 260,000 men.

But among these 260,000 people, there may not be 20,000 soldiers who meet his requirements.

Therefore, he must enlarge the scope of the source of troops.

However, now is not the time to recruit troops with great fanfare, and the problems within the Imperial Horse Prison must be solved first......
