Yang Chengying organized such a large-scale fleet, of course, not only to transport people, but also to transport some goods.

Cloth, mosquito coils, soap, etc. from Jinzhou were transported to Chaoxian, and then grain, medicinal materials, horses and other items were brought back from Chaoxian.

Traders can also bring mink and deer antler velvet to Jinzhou Town and then transport them to the mainland. From Jinzhou Town, contraband such as pig iron, books and normal trade goods were transported to Chaoxian.

It is equivalent to coordinating the ships of the traders and transporting people while doing business.

This reduces costs and makes the most of the vessel's availability.

Xu Guangqi actually knew this, but he didn't report it, as long as he could transport the people to Dachangshan Island, he tolerated these small actions.

Through the fleet, Yang Chengying also transported the materials needed by the soldiers, such as food, bedding, clothes, etc., to Tieshan to ensure the food and clothing of the soldiers.

At the beginning of March, the Ming army under Chen Liangce, who had been feasting for more than ten days, was full of red faces, and their spirit was very different from before.

At this time, Yang Chengying summoned them to the school field.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is not an easy task to be a soldier in my Jinzhou Town."

Yang Chengying stood on the platform, "You have also eaten so many days, it is time to show your value." ”

The Beacon is a makeshift platform made of wood and stone.

Standing on it, Yang Chengying could ensure that soldiers standing far away could see him.

After Yang Chengying finished speaking, this group of Ming soldiers whispered and discussed.

"I heard that the Golden State Army is very strict, and it seems to be true."

"No, you see that the Jinzhou Army has big shoulders and round waists."

"I also saw that they had calluses on their hands."

"It is said that they were trained, so it can be seen that they train very hard."

"But there is a lot of money and a lot of rewards, you see how good we ate this time."

"Hey, I hope I'll be chosen."

There were many of these discussions, and the scene immediately boiled.

A few people discuss it with thousands of people, and the effect is not the same.

Chen Liangce's face can't be hung up,, you have no discipline.

He was about to stand up and scold a few words, but Yang Chengying raised his hand and signaled, don't care.

Chen Liangce had no choice but to retreat.

Yang Cheng should let the flag bearer issue the flag, and the Chinese soldiers entered.

The flag bearer immediately stood on a high place and issued a flag message.

In a moment, a sound of neat footsteps sounded.

"One-two-one, one-two-one!"

The Chinese soldiers, armed with weapons in their hands, trotted in, almost encircling the Ming army under Chen Liangce.

"Stand!"

"One, two!"

The weapon poked neatly into the ground, and then stepped on the ground with his left and right feet.

The voice was still very neat, and it suddenly shocked the Ming soldiers in the middle.

The chatter died down.

"My Jinzhou soldiers are treated equally, except for the sailor, each person has one or two or three dollars per month, a grain and a piece of rice, and a set of clothes in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Capture the flag, and there is another reward. ”

Yang Chengying first talked about the treatment, and then put forward the conditions: "But if you want a generous treatment, you must pass the physical fitness test." ”

Physical fitness test?

These Ming soldiers heard about it for the first time.

Yang Chengying explained: "It's a physical fitness test, how to test it specifically, there will be a small flag of the Chinese army to tell you." ”

Hearing the boss mention himself, the small flags in the Chinese army came out of the ranks almost at the same time, and his face was expressionless.

"Those who have passed the test will remain in the army. You will be incorporated into the Dongjiang battalion led by Chen Liangce, and the supervising army is Lord Wang Yining. ”

Yang Chengying said loudly: "Those who fail the test will either return to the people and get a piece of land, or join the yamen as an errand soldier." ”

As soon as they heard this, some of the soldiers quit.

They felt that they were taking the risk of killing their heads and following Chen Liangce to act together, but they couldn't eat the imperial food.

The soldiers were noisy and wantonly venting their dissatisfaction.

Yang Chengying raised his right hand.

The Chinese soldiers shouted: "Wind! ”

The roar was neat, and the soldiers were quickly suppressed.

They looked at each other with some fear.

Yang Chengying said: "It's true that you should act together, but you must also know that being a soldier is not only about getting a lot of money, but also about fighting hard."

Die once and you're nothing, and you're not even qualified to talk nonsense here. ”

There was silence.

"Anyone who is not qualified can receive a severance pay, and you can use the money to buy a property and support your family."

Yang Chengying glanced at everyone with a majestic face: "But if any of you dare to make waves in the local area because of this, then don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

Intimidated by the soldiers of the Chinese army, the Ming army under Chen Liangce no longer dared to speak up and obediently accepted the physical fitness test.

Raising soldiers, like raising the people, is a long-term project.

Since ancient times, most dynasties have only focused on the source of soldiers, in fact, they want to lower the treatment of soldiers and reduce the wear and tear caused by training.

To put it bluntly, it's a white ticket.

Yang Chengying was a top student in the military academy in his previous life, and he knew very well the importance of training soldiers.

Therefore, from the beginning of his tenure in Jinzhou, he resolutely pursued an all-round policy of "raising troops."

The soldiers in Jinzhou Town have been controlled within 10,000 for a long time.

Chen Liangce is not very clear about these new arrivals.

When he saw that many of his subordinates were about to be invited out of the army, he was a little anxious, and hurriedly took the initiative to find Yang Chengying to intercede.

"Yang Shuai, these soldiers under the command of the last general have been following for many years, and they are all able to endure hardships, please be more lenient Yang Shuai."

Chen Liangce pleaded, "They will definitely be grateful to Yang Shuai." ”

Yang Chengying was unmoved, "Since I went to Jinzhouwei, I have been implementing this policy until now. ”

"The legal principle is nothing more than human feelings, please relax Yang Shuai as appropriate."

"Do you know how many people and soldiers I have in Jinzhou Town?"

Chen Liangce knew where he first arrived, and shook his head.

"600,000 people, immediately become 700,000."

Yang Chengying said: "Fifteen thousand soldiers, about to become fourteen thousand, or even thirteen thousand is possible. ”

Chen Liangce was shocked, he didn't expect Yang Chengying to have so few soldiers and such a large population.

"There are not many soldiers, but the fine."

Yang Chengying reminded him, "If you can't train your soldiers with your heart and let them go to the battlefield with weapons, you will undoubtedly send them to suicide."

Your intercession, ostensibly for their good, is actually harmful to them. ”

"Yes, the Admiral knows." Chen Liangce was a little depressed.

"Don't think I'm taking the opportunity to weaken your power, you can inquire, whether it's General Zu Tianshou or the Sailor Division, it's all like this."

Yang Chengying said frankly: "Everything I do is to win, if I can't win, I'm blind." ”

"The Admiral understands." Chen Liangce looked at Yang Chengying and said, "I will persuade those who leave to let them live well." ”

"In addition, you tell your subordinates that we are going to hold literacy classes and make every big soldier literate."

Hearing this, Chen Liangce's eyes widened.
