The next day, Liu Yan came to the armor supervision office to inspect the construction of armor. Now Wangjiazhuang can build 330 pairs of full-body armor per month, and the output is already very considerable, and such an output is beyond the reach of even the military battle bureau of the Beijing Division.

Of course, such an output is completely completed with the "crowd tactics", and now there are as many as 400 craftsmen in the armor workshop of the armor supervision department, and the production process of the assembly line has been formed, which can decompose the production of armor into several links, so that the armor can be quickly formed in a series of production links.

"How much of the armor is still missing?"

The chief Xu Le accompanied the whole city, followed Liu Yan's side and said: "Lord Qiyu, in the past two months, the armor supervision office has hoarded more than 1,500 pairs of armor, and now all of them have been deployed to the general army. Now each of them needs to be equipped with about 3,800 pairs of armor, removing the 1,300 pairs that have been equipped before, and the 1,500 pairs that have been deployed later, and there is still a gap of 1,000 pairs of armor, which is expected to be replenished within three months. ”

"Three months?"

Liu Yan shook his head slightly, the current situation is very serious!

The Qing army's more than 100,000 troops were still wreaking havoc in the pass, and Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, was guarding the Beijing division in the north, and most of the soldiers and horses from other places were also gathered near the Beijing division.

According to the development of history, in another month, the Qing army in Beizhili and other places was withdrawn, and then the main force began to sweep to the southwest, and then faced off with the famous general Lu Xiangsheng in the Julu area.

If Liu Yan is not mistaken, the imperial court will definitely order soldiers and horses from all over the country to gallop to Julu to help.

In history, Emperor Chongzhen mobilized a lot of soldiers and horses, including Guanning Iron Cavalry and other troops and horses, but under the secret operation of the eunuch Gao Qiqian and Yang Sichang, the secretary of the military department, these Ming troops all watched from the wall, sat back and watched the entire army of Lu Xiangsheng's department annihilated, and then followed the Qing army from a distance, and sent the Qing army "out of the country".

"At that time, the imperial court will definitely recruit Shandong soldiers and horses to help, and who will Shandong Governor Yan Jizu mobilize to lead the troops to fight?"

Even if Liu Yan thinks with his toes now, he knows that most of them will let him lead the attack.

Therefore, Liu Yan must hurry up within a month to let all the generals of the army put on armor, which is the most basic.

"Three months is too slow, one month, I can only give the armor superintendent a month of time, can I complete the task?"

After Liu Yan finished speaking, he stared at Xu Le, only to see that Xu Le was startled at first, and then he gritted his teeth, frowned, and said: "If more than 200 people from the Blade Workshop are temporarily transferred to the Armor Workshop, the subordinates can guarantee that the task will be completed within a month and a half." ”

"A month, a month at most, and even less!"

Liu Yan then said: "This time I also brought some armor, and if I transform these armors, I can also meet some of the needs." ”

"In this way, my subordinates can guarantee that within a month, all the generals of our army will wear armor!"

Liu Yan looked at Xu Le, who was firm-eyed, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay!" Let it go, if you need anything, send someone to tell me. ”

"Yes!"

After Liu Yan inspected Wangjiazhuang, he took Xu Ming and the others back to the Qianqian Household Office in Xiahe Village.

After returning to the Qianhu Official Hall, Liu Yan was not idle, but summoned Baihu Tian Huixu, as well as Baihu Miao Shao and Baihu Xu Ming.

"What? Your Excellency is ready to dismiss all the officers' families! ”

Tian Huixu stood up suddenly, a pair of big fish eyes glared at the boss, and others were afraid that the two eyeballs would fall out when they saw it.

Miao Shao and Xu Ming didn't react, after all, both of them are Liu Yan's henchmen, and they don't have any family, so whatever Liu Yan says, he can do whatever he wants.

"Is there anything wrong?"

"My lord doesn't know, now among the generals in the Qianhu Office, there are more than a dozen family members under him, Dai Jingbin, the deputy thousand households, has more than 50 family members, and Xun Jingyun, the town magistrate, also has several family members, and even the officials Zhang Xueyi and Xuezheng Zhang Wenqi, Confucian instructors Jiang Hongzhi and Huang Rixun have family members!"

"The rest of the chief flag officers and small flag officers also have many families, these officers everywhere are counted, the number of families in front of our Xiahe Village is not five hundred, but also three hundred, these people are not those miscellaneous soldiers in the hands of Chi Xu, Huang Wenxian, Wang Yichuan and others, but soldiers who can fight tough battles, if there is really a trouble, it is not a day or two that can be pacified, and my thousand households will also be hit hard!"

But Liu Yan still insisted on his opinion and said: "Lao Tian, do you know why my Ming soldiers and horses always can't beat the Tartars? It is because all the officers at all levels have accumulated their families, concentrated all their money, food, and military equipment on a small number of family members, and then regarded these family members as private soldiers! ”

"Once the war went well, those generals rushed up with their families, and once the war went bad, those generals fled for their lives under the protection of their families, and even when the war was still unclear, they fled with their families. Or in order to preserve the power of the family, he deliberately closed himself without fighting! ”

The more Liu Yan spoke, the more angry he became, and said loudly: "This is a major drawback of the repeated defeats of my Ming army, although it is not all the reasons, but it is also a major root cause!" ”

Tian Huixu is an old man in the army, so he naturally knows that what Liu Yan said is right, but if he really lays off the family in the entire thousand-household office, and those hundred households, general flags, and small flags will make trouble, what should he do? After those families lose the treatment of "abundant food and clothing", what should they do?

Liu Yan sneered and said: "Now that the Seventh General New Army has been recruited, it will be able to be preliminarily drilled in another month, and when the time comes, there will be recruits stationed everywhere in the Qianhu Houses in front of my Xiahe Village, and there will be no need for those hundred households, general flags, and small flags that resist their own officials!" ”

Tian Huixu's face turned pale when he heard this, and he didn't dare to say a word.

At this time, it was already the end of November, and the military households in the city had already begun to save food and vegetables for the winter, and the city and outside the city were filled with the joy of the upcoming New Year.

However, in front of those Xiahe Villages, the old military families and officers of the Qianhu Institute had different thoughts!

On November 30, the cold wind was still raging.

Coming out of the middle school field of Qianhu City in front of Xiahe Village, a cold wind blew, even if Dai Jingbin's body was strong and he practiced every day, he still unconsciously wrapped the leather jacket on his body. Several family members followed Dai Jingbin's side, seeing that his face was always calm, not knowing what he was thinking, and he didn't dare to speak casually, for fear of disrupting his train of thought.

Dai Jingbin walked slowly, walked out of the school, and suddenly heard someone behind him shouting: "Master Dai, Master Dai!" ”

Dai Jingbin turned around, but it was Zhang Xueyi, Zhang Wenqi, Jiang Hongzhi, and Huang Rixun, who were ordered to chase after them, and they were also followed by a few family members.

These people are different from Dai Jingbin, although they are not hereditary officers of the Qianqian Household Office in Xiahe Village, which has been passed down from generation to generation, but their families also occupy a large amount of fertile land outside the fort to support their families.

At this time, the four of them caught up and saluted each other, Dai Jingbin said lightly: "I don't know what is the matter with Zhang Lingyi, Zhang Xuezheng, Jiang Xundao, and Huang Xundao stopping Dai?" ”

Among several people, Dai Jingbin is the strongest, after all, after Liu Yan's dismissal of the old and weak, among the officers of the former Qianhu Office in Xiahe Village, except for Dai Jingbin's team of fifty soldiers intact, the rest of the people are only a dozen or so at most, which can only be compared with the captain in the new army.

Recently, there have been rumors inside and outside the city that Liu Yan wants to forcibly dismiss all the officers and officials, which makes several people even more unable to sit still, so they came over to Dai Jingbin to discuss countermeasures.

At this time, Zhang Xueyi said with a smile: "Lord Dai, you have the most personal relationship with Lord Defense, I just want to inquire, is this month's food and salary still in the fort?" ”

The families of the officers and officials of the Qianqian Household Office in Xiahe Village have always asked for one tael of silver per month and five buckets of rice in their true colors. When Liu Yan was stationed in the Qianqian Household Office of Xiahe Village, Liu Yan once gave these families a month's salary. However, since then, Liu Yan has not let go of food and salary, except that all soldiers can eat enough, and even the family members have the same food.

Dai Jingbin shook his head and said: "At present, there is a shortage of money and food in the fort, and the defense lord has to open various industries, expand the army, and replenish the army, I am afraid that there will be no food and salary!" ”

The commander Zhang Xueyi said angrily: "There is money to expand the army, but there is no money to pay, and it is too much to defend adults." We are a family member in the team, and we are always the main battle elite in the fort. How can it be compared to those military households who have been training for months? ”

At this time, a cold light flashed in Zhang Xueyi's eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Master Dai, you have always been the backbone of several of us, why don't you lead us to make trouble?" ”

Confucianism instructor Jiang Hongzhi was a little bold, he hesitated and said: "This, not good, although the defense lord said that he was not paid, but he did not treat us badly, and the daily army was treated with the same food!" Besides, there was a lot of trouble before, but the defense lord killed a lot of people! ”

Confucianism instructor Huang Rixun said: "I'm afraid it's so difficult, right now there are only these family members left in our team, and now the new army is divided into fields and lively, and the hearts of the people in the team are floating!" ”

His words suddenly hit Jiang Hongzhi's heart, and his face was a little pale. Most of the family members in their team are their family slave tenants, and seeing that the military households in the fort are divided into fields and land, how can they not have other thoughts? I'm afraid that the time will come......

Zhang Wenqi, a Confucian scholar, said eagerly: "Master Dai, do you think of my proposal? ”

Dai Jingbin had been listening coldly, and at this time he shouted violently: "Nonsense, you don't want to live anymore, just rely on a few of your soldiers, and you also want to make trouble?" ”

Dai Jingbin snorted disdainfully, others don't know, he knows Liu Yan's strength, although at this time, the strength of the general's combat strength is based on the family, outsiders look at Liu Yan as if he has no family, and he can't help but despise it, only Dai Jingbin understands how terrible Liu Yan is, he quietly trained so many strong soldiers in Dapanbao back then, and all of them have the strength of the family.

At present, 3,000 and hundreds of new armies have been trained, and the combat power of these new armies is equivalent to how many families!

Thousands of family members, looking at the entire Lingshan Guard, I'm afraid that the integrity of the adult is not as good. Those new soldiers all looked forward to Liu Yan's horse, especially after the fields were divided by thousands of households in Xiahe Village, these new troops saw the hope, and they were even more desperate for Liu Yan!

Troubles? I'm afraid that I don't know how to write dead words when I go!

Some people died, but not completely......
