Zhu Youxiao's army is still training, and although it is winter, they have not stopped training.

In order to increase the training enthusiasm of the soldiers of the new army, he directly linked this food with training.

If the Forces nouvelles soldiers had been trained today, they would have seen a few pieces of fatty pork in their meals today.

If there is no training today, the soldiers of the New Army will only be able to eat some thick multigrain porridge.

It turned out that it was this multigrain porridge, and they had eaten much better than when they had been displaced before.

Some of the soldiers of the New Army did not have a good family background before, and this thick porridge was even better than when they were at home.

But once they have eaten meat, how can they be willing to go back to the old days?

The enthusiasm of the soldiers for training came up in an instant.

Every few days, Zhu Youxiao must go to the barracks and have a meal with the soldiers.

He would even train with the soldiers for an hour and run with the soldiers.

At the beginning, these soldiers were shocked and honored to see His Majesty training with them, but they felt that His Majesty could not hold on.

But slowly, they found that His Majesty not only supported it, but even made some better moves than they did.

Especially when His Majesty put the gun, the accuracy of the shot was even higher than theirs.

Slowly, the soldiers developed a blind admiration for Zhu Youxiao.

A month later, it was time to pay the military again.

A few years ago, Zhu Youxiao raided the homes of two corrupt officials, one from the Donglin Party and the other from the Eunuch Party, and he also got hundreds of thousands of silver.

Zhu Youxiao used half of it as the start-up capital on the Xishan side, and the other half happened to be used to pay the soldiers of the New Army.

Every soldier came to Colonel Zhu You. Zhu Youxiao personally paid him a military salary.

Subsequently, the soldiers of the new army had to kowtow to Zhu Youxiao on the ground, and shouted with tears in their eyes, "I am willing to die for Your Majesty!" "will leave.

These Forces nouvelles soldiers have been brainwashed and have been brainwashed for more than two months.

Coupled with Zhu Youxiao's various performances, these New Army soldiers shouted "I am willing to die for Your Majesty!" There is really a bit of sincerity.

Zhu Youxiao paid his military salaries from morning to evening, and only 5,000 soldiers were paid at the end of the day.

Waiting until the next day, Zhu Youxiao was busy for another day, and finally finished paying these military salaries, but he was also tired and panicked.

Colonel Zhu You had to make the soldiers of the new army understand whose salary they were receiving and who they were going to serve.

This is somewhat similar to the group of generals adopted in Liaodong.

When the military salary is paid in the future, Zhu Youxiao may not appear every time.

But the fact that the soldiers of the new army, after taking the money, shouted for His Majesty's death will not be canceled because of this.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao studied the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty's military system and decided that the soldiers of the new army would no longer have military salaries paid by commanders at all levels in the future.

Zhu Youxiao set up a special military pay office to distribute military salaries to the soldiers of the new army.

And these clerical officials of the pay office who distribute military salaries are not subordinate to these military commanders who lead the army.

Commander and salary have completely become two systems, and even Lu Xiangsheng, the commander of the new soldiers, can't even ask.

When the military salary is insufficient, the chief officers at all levels will report directly to their superiors, and Zhu Youxiao will immediately order an investigation of the military pay department

At the same time, the military pay office, which is responsible for the payment of military salaries, will also report to Zhu Youxiao's office if it discovers that the new army is eating empty salaries.

In this way, the two sides have formed a system of mutual supervision, which reduces the possibility of corruption.

At the same time, this also directly makes the public army can no longer become the private army of a certain general.

Zhu Youxiao also re-established another set of conscription systems, and in the future, the conscription work will no longer be carried out by the chief officers at all levels, but will be carried out by special conscription organs.

Conscription, military command, and payroll are the three systems that cooperate with each other, but they do not belong to each other.

Zhu Youxiao even promised all the soldiers of the New Army that in the future, there would never be a shortage of military salaries, and the payment of salaries would be reduced or delayed.

After the implementation of these new systems, the spirit of the soldiers of this new army has obviously changed.

Lu Xiangsheng has seen the world, and he can't help but feel a little emotional.

Judging from the current situation, the soldiers of the New Army can now be said to be an elite army, except that they have not seen blood.

The silver from the coal mines was also poured into the arsenal, and now the output of the arsenal has risen to 1,000 per month.

After Zhu Youxiao set the rule that every gun made would have ten taels of silver to subsidize the craftsman, the effect of the system has been clearly reflected.

These arsenal craftsmen were no longer lazy, and even began to use their spare time to make guns, just to make one more qualified gun and get more rewards.

And Zhu Youxiao recruited a large number of blacksmiths and craftsmen from the displaced people and joined the arsenal, which expanded the production of the arsenal.

The coal mines on the Xishan side are selling better and better, and usually the anthracite coal that has just been dug out of this coal mine has already been booked.

The coal mines are desperately trying to increase production, and the displaced people who have been wandering around the capital have been constantly recruited to work in the western mountains.

At this time, there were nearly 100,000 miners in Xishan.

What is okay with the naked eye is that there are fewer and fewer displaced people near the capital.

There were even some ministers who wrote a few crooked poems to praise the peace.

But Zhu Youxiao knew that these were all illusions, although it could be done to this extent near the capital, but what about the places far away from the capital?

Now Zhu Youxiao can't wait to win a big victory in the war.

At least let Jiannu have no strength to launch a large-scale counteroffensive against them for at least two or three years.

In this way, Zhu Youxiao can free up his hands and do more other things to truly change the fate of this Ming Dynasty.

Just when Zhu Youxiao kept watching his army training, in a mansion in the capital, there were several high-ranking guests.

Zhang Run has not seen such a big man in his house for a long time.

In fact, Zhang Run's life has not been easy recently, and all the people in the capital are pointing fingers at the people of the Zhang family.

That Xishan has now been proven by Zhu Youxiao to be a large treasure trove, if Xishan is still in the hands of their Zhang family, digging out the coal and then selling it at the current price, then the Zhang family will have to collect millions of taels of silver every year, to say the least.

There is more than green smoke on this ancestral tomb, this is simply a fire.

But what about now?

They only used 10,000 taels of silver to sell Xishan, a mountain of gold and silver, to Wei Zhongxian, and they could only watch others earn silver.

That Zhang Run can only cry and mourn at home every day, otherwise he will scold Wei Zhongxian and Zhu Youxiao in private, and nothing else can be done.

It's just that Zhang Run didn't expect that someone came to the door today, claiming to be able to help him get Xishan back, depending on what kind of price he is willing to pay.
