After Ang Lee ordered the payment of salaries, Ma Siliang arranged for the staff to start distributing the salaries. Li An immediately introduced the new salary regulations to Ma Bao, that is, 1 tael of silver for miscellaneous soldiers; Knife player, pikeman 1.3 taels of silver, archers 1.4 taels of silver, fire commanders 1.4 taels of silver, gunners 1.6 taels of silver, cavalry 1.5 taels of silver.

The officer's monthly salary is 2 taels of silver; The total flag is 4 taels of silver; put a total of 6 taels of silver; 10 taels of silver; guerrilla 15 taels of silver; 20 taels of deputy commanders; The total number of soldiers is 25 taels of silver.

In an hour, Ma Bao's headquarters had already paid his salary, and then Li An ordered Wu San Province to assemble all the soldiers and horses in the five towns.

When the salary was paid, Ma Siliang arranged for people to count Ma Bao's department, with a total of 15,682 soldiers and 20,653 war horses. The total number of troops in the whole army is 58,752.

Li An and Ma Bao discussed, and drew 10,000 people to supplement the soldiers and horses of the five towns, leaving more than 5,000 people to set up an elite cavalry town alone, with Ma Bao as the chief soldier, and one person and two horses in the cavalry town, all wearing dark armor (that is, cloth armor).

In each town, 1,500 cavalry were added to the original 500 cavalry, for a total of 2,000 cavalry.

After integrating the army, Li An handed down the military discipline he had set these days and asked Wu Sanxing to read out the military discipline in public.

"Three disciplines.

First, all actions should be commanded.

Second, don't take a stitch from the people.

Wu Sanxing read out aloud all the military disciplines set by Li An.

Later, Li An took out the fifty copies of military discipline copied by Yu Chengyu and ordered Jin Tongwu to post them in a conspicuous position in the barracks.

After the military discipline was issued, Li An personally taught the soldiers to sing military songs.

"The wind is from the dragon, the cloud is from the tiger, and the dust and earth are fame.

Looking at Shenzhou, the people are bitter, and thousands of miles of fertile land are barren.

Look at the world, as much as you want, and make up for the defects of heaven.

Good boy, don't be a parent, just for the common people, not for the lord.

Holding a steel knife of ninety-nine, he killed Hu Er before stopping.

I am a dignified man, what is a Tartar as a horse and a cow.

The strong man drank the wine in the bowl and did not look back on the journey of a thousand miles.

The golden drums roared in unison, and the yellow dragon swore endlessly. ”

Li An sang a sentence, and the soldiers sang a sentence, and after Li An led the soldiers to sing it three times, he asked Lei to make a pilgrimage to each officer, down to the commander, up to the general soldier, and all of them distributed a booklet of "Ming Army Drill Code" compiled by himself.

The first page of the booklet is military discipline, followed by military songs, then the main points of attention for marching and fighting, and at the end there are several maps attached.

Li An repeatedly ordered that every officer must carry the "Ming Army Drill Code" issued by him, and if any officer is found to have not carried it with him, he will be dealt with for violating military discipline.

It was also stipulated that in the future, Li An would give lectures to generals above the standard once every six months, and once every month to all generals in the army. It mainly teaches two aspects: one is the concept of warfare, the general theory and principle of winning in battle;

The second is combat methods, such as the method of marching and arranging formations, field tactics, attacking and defending cities, tactics and tactics of different arms of the armed forces, and tactics and tactics with certain particularities. Li An is also preparing to intersperse lectures on the art of war with the national ideology, and strive to awaken the national ideology of this group of officers, big and small.

In the end, Li An emphasized the strict observance of military discipline, and then took the generals back to the city to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Ma Bao. After returning to the city, the generals went to Li An's mansion for a banquet, and did not disperse until the end of the hour.

In the early morning of the next day, Li An got up early to wash up, he didn't dare to drink too much wine last night, after all, he was over 40 years old, and he had to take care of himself as soon as possible. He also wanted to live a few more years to complete the great cause of revival.

After Li Ang finished washing, he checked the calendar day, today is August 30th, and unconsciously, it has been two months since he came to this world.

"Someone," Ang Lee shouted.

The guards came in and stood by.

"Go and pass the generals above the general to the government to discuss matters."

"Yes." After the guards gave up their orders, they turned around and went out to summon the generals.

After the guards left, Li An began to wear the gold lacquer Wenshan armor, and finally put on the armor after a while, and finally put the phoenix wing helmet on his head, picked up the bronze mirror and took a photo, "Frightened, handsome!" Ang Lee sighed.

I saw the person in the bronze mirror, tall, nearly 1.9 meters, with a strong body and wheat-colored skin. His eyes are bright, his face is handsome, and he has a good look.

Li An put down the bronze mirror, took the "Ming Army Drill Code" on the table into his arms, and then walked to the mansion with his personal guards.

Along the way, Ang Lee saw that the city was bustling, with blowing, playing and singing, juggling monkeys, and all kinds of food. Everyone doesn't have an ugly money pigtail on their head and hope for life on their faces.

A smile appeared on Ang Lee's face, maybe this is the reason why he came here, not why, I am for them! To be able to live like human beings, so that they can have human rights, human happiness, and human dignity.

Soon Li An came to the mansion, and after entering the lobby, there were only Jiang Guotai and Xu Cheng. When the two saw Li An coming in, they put down the steel block in their hands and hurriedly got up to salute, Li An waved his hand and walked over to pick up the steel block and looked at it.

Seeing this, Jiang Guotai explained: "King, yesterday a craftsman who can smelt Suzhou steel came to the government, saying that his family has been out of food for many days, and he heard that the yamen is recruiting craftsmen and came to defect, and this steel block is what the craftsman used to smelt."

"Oh? Will you make Susteel? Where is this person now? Li An hurriedly asked, he had already heard about Su Gang's name.

"Sugang" is an advanced stage of the development of steel filling, and the advantages of steel filling have been fully expressed here.

According to legend, "Sugang" was invented by Jiangsu people, so it is called "Sugang".

Its smelting method, Tang Shunzhi of the Ming Dynasty, in his book "Martial Iron Preparation" has a brief record, he said: "Pig iron and wrought iron are cast together, and when it is extremely ripe, the pig iron wants to flow, then the pig iron is used on the wrought iron, and it is rubbed into it." That is to say, pig iron and wrought iron are smelted together, and when the pig iron melts and the iron juice is about to flow, the molten pig iron is rubbed into the wrought iron, and the steel is smelted.

Sugang is the most suitable steel for making artillery and guns.

"After the lower officials confirmed that they would smelt Sugang, they first gave him a stone of grain and instructed him to come to the government office in three days." Jiang Guotai replied.

"Okay, Cathay did a good job, bring this person to the king's mansion in three days, and the king will see this person's ability for himself." Li An said with a smile, Jiang Guotai gave up his hand.

Then, Ang Lee sat back and waited for the generals to arrive.
