Wu Yunshan arched his hands to a few people and walked to the table and sat down, but as soon as he sat down, Xu Wanjiang glared and said, "What are the results today?"

Wu Yunshan saw that Xu Wanjiang was angry and didn't fight anywhere! Because the inventory of soldiers and horses was also included in Xu Wanjiang's errand, but he refused to follow! But he forgot how he was in a hurry to grab the credit, and he didn't discuss it with Xu Wanjiang.

But he shook his head and said, "I didn't get anything today!"

Everyone knew that they had not received anything useful from his sullen appearance, and they did not speak again. However, Xu Wanjiang said, "It seems that Lord Wu didn't find anything useful there! Today, the official is also unlucky here, and he hasn't even seen anyone!"

When Wu Yunshan heard this, he realized that Xu Wanjiang had something to do, so he asked, "Where did Lord Xu go today?"

Xu Wanjiang frowned and said, "Today, the official went to the Qianhu Office in Tianjin, and wanted to meet the Jinyi Guard there. As a result, there was a note in the thousand-household office, saying that he had gone out on an errand, and there was no one left, so Lao Tzu waited there for a day in vain!"

Wu Yunshan felt comfortable when he heard Xu Wanjiang say this! Many people are always like this, and when they see that they are unlucky, they hope that more people will be unlucky, even if it does not help their situation. However, he restrained his expression well and said, "Those brocade guards must have deliberately hidden!"

Xu Wanjiang slammed the table and said, "That's right, it must be so! If I go to block them again tomorrow, I don't believe that they will not come back for the rest of their lives!"

Wu Yunshan said, "That's right, if Lord Xu goes to the Thousand Households, it is better to lend the rest of the people to you!" Let them go to the barracks with me tomorrow!"

Xu Wanjiang said: "It's okay to ask for someone, but I don't know what you want someone to do?"

Wu Yunshan knew that there were some things that he couldn't hide, so he sighed and told him about today's events. And he focused on describing the appearance of the soldiers of the Wu'an Army, and several other people were surprised to even widen their eyes!

Among these people, He Xianli and Jiang Yuzhong didn't understand military affairs at all, but Xu Wanjiang was a serious martial artist, and he couldn't help but say suspiciously: "Lord Wu, if you say this, wouldn't all the soldiers of the Wu'an Army be like family members? How did he afford to raise so many families, could he have become so rich?"

The system of Jiading is not a characteristic of the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty did carry forward the worst part of the Jiading system the most thoroughly!

In fact, this kind of profession has been around since ancient times. These people are subordinate to and paid for by a single person or a family, and are entirely the personal soldiers of a certain family and a certain person. And the housekeeper is not so easy to be. They are generally people who are proficient in writing, outstanding in martial arts, and loyal!

In peacetime, he protects the safety of the general, helps the general master master the army when he fights, and takes the lead in the charge when he charges, which can be said to be a miniature version of the general! Among them, the less famous ones are Wu Sangui and his twenty family members.

When Wu Sangui was young, he carefully selected 20 people as his family. He practiced martial arts with these twenty people, trained in riding and archery, and it can be said that the relationship is very good! And in order to win them in loyalty, he also bought them houses and land, and took wives and concubines. So these two people are very loyal to him! And they also know that the foundation of their life lies in their good martial arts, so they practice diligently every day, and their martial arts are extraordinary!

On this day, Wu Sangui's father, Wu Xiang, fled while fighting with the Houjin army, and was surrounded by the Houjin army when he fled to the city of Jinzhou! At that time, the city guard of Jinzhou was Zu Dashou, and there were only 3,000 soldiers and horses in the city. The Houjin army facing 30,000 or 40,000 people outside the city couldn't send troops to save people at all, so they could only watch Wu Xiang rush left and right in the encirclement, and they couldn't rush out!

In desperation, Wu Sangui took twenty family members out of the battle, and suddenly rushed into the military formation of the Houjin army, successfully joined Wu Xiang, and rescued people. As a result, Wu Sangui became famous all over the world because of his act of saving his father!

It is said in the history books that Wu Sangui was brave and fierce, and after the impact in one fell swoop, Lieutenant General Jin Jun rescued his father! But no matter how brave he is, he can't beat 40,000 people, right? The main reason was because the commander of the Houjin army at that time suspected that the Ming army had other conspiracies, otherwise he would not have sent twenty-one people to charge against 40,000 people!

So he had a problem when he mobilized the troops, which gave Wu Sangui and his son a chance to escape, and at the same time made him famous in a fight! That's where the family comes in.

In fact, the root of this kind of thing of giving up ordinary soldiers and only piling up resources on a few people is still in Zhu Yuanzhang.

When the Ming Dynasty was first established, Zhu Yuanzhang was so poor that he died! In order to save money, he invented the military household system. It is to concentrate the soldiers in the guard station, give land to cultivate in peacetime, and select people to be soldiers when fighting. As for the generals, the officers only keep their own families on weekdays.

This system showed many advantages in the early stages, but the disadvantages became more and more serious in the later stages. First of all, the land of the guard was encroached upon by the officers and nobles, and the ordinary military households could only be reduced to tenant slaves, and as a result, the quality of the soldiers became worse and worse!

And the officers found one thing, that is, a small number of families can control a large number of military households, which is more conducive to corruption! Therefore, this kind of atmosphere of only valuing the family and not the soldiers spread rapidly, which is also one of the main reasons for the sharp decline in the combat effectiveness of the Ming army!

After all, no matter how many families there are, how much role can they play on the battlefield? It is the ordinary soldiers who really play the mainstay role on the battlefield. Liu Haojia's approach was just to set things right, but it gave everyone a great surprise!

Even a martial artist like Xu Wanjiang said, "How can he afford to raise so many families, is he already so rich?" Words! It's a ridiculous joke!

But the problem is that even a martial artist like Xu Wanjiang thinks so, let alone other people who don't know nothing! So at this time, their idea is that Liu Haojia already has 10,000 families!

Jiang Yuzhong's face changed even more when he heard this, and he said, "This person actually has more than 10,000 dings, what does he want to do? Do you still want to be the second Li Chengliang?"

In the historical record, it is said that Li Chengliang had 8,000 families, which required a huge fortune to amass. But they don't know the difference between ordinary elite soldiers and family members at all!

The family is a well-rounded skill, and can immediately charge and lead the team, while ordinary soldiers are only familiar with the part they are trained in, but they are the ones who can overwhelm the elite by virtue of their numbers! As for the cost of training, it is comparable to a dozen soldiers!
