Chapter 040

Cheng Shijie's words happened to hit Sun Yuanhua's heart.

In the fourth year of Chongzhen, because of the restlessness of the border affairs and the tight finances of the imperial court, the Liaoyuan Dingtian class was increased by nine cents to one and a half cents, an increase of three cents per mu.

One tael of silver is equal to ten cents, silver is equal to one hundred cents, and one centi, which is equal to one penny of copper.

In all fairness, Sanwen is really not much for the people, because Sanwen can buy three or four taels of pork at most, or half a catty of fish and shrimp, or two taels of salt.

However, the problem is that the imperial court allowed an increase of three cents per mu, and when it came to each prefecture, it dared to increase it by three cents of silver, and when it came to the county, it even dared to increase it to three or four cents. In this way, there are not a few people who have been forced to ruin their families.

Since July, a large number of people who have abandoned their fields and become displaced people have poured into various prefectures and counties, and now Shandong, like a pile of dry firewood, will become a prairie fire if there is a little spark.

This kind of situation is what Sun Yuanhua does not want to see, and only by controlling the stability of Shandong can he consider doing something new to reform the old and make the new. Even if there is a saying that the new official has three fires in office, it is just a small fight, and it is easy to hurt the interests of most people, and it will be met with a strong backlash, which is really a wise man's inaction;

What's more, Sun Yuanhua will not forget that he still has a large group of people in Jiangning waiting for him to make a mistake.

But Cheng Shijie talked about his itch.

Cheng Shijie said: "Xiaguan knows a little about the method of military training, and now he has recruited more than 400 young people in Zuoqianhu, and over time, he will definitely be able to become a pillar of Shandong...... It's just a pity that the lower officials lack food, grass and armor ......"

Without waiting for Cheng Shijie to finish speaking, Sun Yuanhua said: "Don't be busy talking about these, let's talk about your training method first!" ”

Although most of the literati of the Ming Dynasty were powerless, most of them liked to talk on paper. And although Sun Yuanhua is not a jinshi, he also likes to talk on paper. In the face of the siege of the Jiannu army, with the help of Western artillery, he used Western cannons to defend the eight cities and twenty-four forts.

Sun Yuanhua was even more because of these political achievements, so that he was able to become the governor of Denglai with his academic qualifications, and he was even more famous all over the world for being good at training troops and casting artillery.

Cheng Shijie is an old organ, very experienced in dealing with technical bureaucrats like Sun Yuanhua, he smiled and said: "The Seven Books of the Martial Arts is the work of the sages and the military, Cheng is not talented, I am fortunate to be familiar with the "Seven Books of the Martial Arts" and have a deep understanding of the method of compiling the army.......

Cheng Shijie expounded the shortcomings of the guard system in terms of establishment, soldier quality, and equipment, and then explained to Sun Yuanhua in detail his methods of managing the army, training, equipment, and orders.

In the age of no information technology, flat management methods are the most unscientific, and a battalion-level officer at the level of 1,000 households is in charge of three to five subordinates, and each subordinate is in charge of 200 to 300 people, which is the most scientific.

Cheng Shijie actually fantasized about the company squad establishment in the later generations, but the problem is that it is the best establishment for the use of automatic weapons in the later generations, which has been explored through countless actual battles.

In fact, the establishment of the cold weapons period in ancient China has always been the Shiwu system, but the names of the previous dynasties are different. The second army is what, and the chief is set up; Five tithes for the tun, set up a tun chief; Two tuns are hundreds, and one hundred generals are set up; five hundred, five hundred masters; a thousand, two or five hundred lords. Among them, the "two or five hundred masters" are also called "thousand people", and they are already middle-level officers.

The establishment of the Han army is also inherited from the establishment of the Qin army, five people are a team, two soldiers are a tithe, five tithes are a team, the team is positive, two teams of 100 people are tun, five tun is a song, two songs are a song, and another department is set up Sima.

It's just that the name is different, but the number of people is actually the same. The same is true for the establishment of the Tang Army, which is also in a different name, with a team of 50 people, two teams as a brigade, and a brigade rate. Two brigades or three brigades are a regiment, with a school captain, four regiments, five regiments, and six regiments, which are respectively the upper and middle commanders, and the commanders.

In the Song Dynasty, it was the capital. One capital is one hundred people, and five are one battalion, and the battalion is commanded. Only in the Ming Dynasty, 100 households was 1,000 households.

Sun Yuanhua thought that Cheng Shijie was a general, proficient in command and training at the strategic level, but he didn't expect that Cheng Shijie was really proficient in the management and training of small-scale battalions.

Sun Yuanhua only knew that the guards were unbearable for a battle, but he didn't know that the root was in the establishment, 1,120 people were a full number of 1,000 households, but the problem was that a thousand households could not command 100 households as much as his arm. Of course, if it is in the information age, not to mention that a thousand households command ten hundred households, just like a platoon commander, there is no problem in directly commanding thirty or fifty soldiers beyond the squad leader.

"Shijie, even if you train an elite army, how can you protect one side thoroughly?"

Sun Yuanhua pointed to the map and asked: "The area under the jurisdiction of Zuo Qianhu is 260 miles east to the sea, 75 miles to Fushan County in the west, 240 miles to Laiyang in the south, and 60 miles to Qingquan in the north (equivalent to 335 miles wide from east to west and 300 miles from north to south). ”

"Xiaguan is ready to defend with mobility!"

Cheng Shijie said: "The lower officials train the troops, first exercise their ability to travel long distances, and dare not deceive the Futai adults, the elite under the command of the lower officials, exercise for more than a month, and march 80 miles fully armed every day!" ”

"Eighty miles?"

Sun Yuanhua was very surprised when he heard this. The marching speed of the Ming Dynasty's Weisho army was thirty miles per day. It is not as far as the daily training distance of Cheng Shijie's family soldiers.

Sun Tzu's Art of War is therefore rolled up and tended, day and night, doubling the road, fighting for profit for a hundred miles, then capturing three generals, the strong first, the tired later, and the eleventh of its law; Fifty miles and fight for profit, then the general will be on the top, and his law will be half to; Thirty miles and for profit, two-thirds to.

Speed is everything.

And Cheng Shijie continued: "Xiaguan originally planned to use a carriage to assist the troops on the march, when marching, the soldiers can take a carriage to advance, with two horses driving a carriage, can travel a hundred miles a day, once there is a bandit situation in various places, Xiaguan can lead the troops, within two days, to the shore of the sea, at most three days can arrive at Laiyang." ”

Cheng Shijie put his plan together and presented it to Sun Yuanhua.

In the eyes of Cheng Shijie, this family soldier can fight on the sea by boat or on foot.

Due to the small number of people and the small amount of supplies needed, the four hundred elites could take about fifty wagons and pull them away, and some of them could transport grain, grass and ammunition. As for the sea part, four 400-gauge gunboats can carry 400 elites to patrol along the 500-mile sea frontier of Ninghai Prefecture.

Sun Yuanhua and Cheng Shijie unknowingly talked for more than two hours, and seeing that the sky was dark, Sun Yuanhua also ended the meeting.

"The matter of recruiting military soldiers should be done slowly, but you are a little condescending to serve as Dengzhou Weizuo Qianhu again!"

Sun Yuanhua got up and looked at Cheng Shijie and said, "Many things also need to be peeled off and slowly figured out." You are full of talent, and you are dedicated to serving the imperial court, you don't have to worry about the future, Benxian is not also a child! ”

Cheng Shijie hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you for your promotion!" ”

Sun Yuanhua has now decided to separate the Dengzhou Weizuo Qianhu from the Dengzhou Weili, prepare to play the imperial court, and reduce Ninghai Prefecture to the Ning Navy.

The military and the state are actually administrative units, but the military is slightly lower than the state. The prefect of the Ming Dynasty was the fifth grade, the prefect was the fourth grade, and once the Ning Navy was established, it was like a small military region.

Cheng Shijie was originally a thousand households in the Wei Institute, and he was a five-grade martial artist, and he knew the military of Ninghai, just to block the world's mouths, and you must know that the most serious problem in the Ming Dynasty is actually the civil and military dispute.

The suppression of military attaches by civilian officials is politically correct.

Sun Yuanhua left Cheng Shijie to live in the governor's yamen.

When the servant took Cheng Shijie to the guest room to stay, and informed Cheng Shi, Cheng Hu and the family soldiers to go to the house in Shiqiao Lane to rest.

Sun Yuanhua did not let Cheng Shijie go, which shows that it is good news.

Cheng Shijie decided to use his eloquence and knowledge to take out something good from Sun Yuanhua, the governor.

Sun Yuanhua was a master of cannon casting, and there were more than 100 Western officers under his command, and dozens of new artillery pieces were cast, which were all cheaper than Huang Taiji in the end.

It's better to take some of it yourself.

Dengzhou Weizuo Qianhu Office, and then set up an artillery department with more than a dozen artillery pieces, that shouldn't be too much, right?

Cheng Shijie thought about asking for a carriage, a war horse, and a firecracker, and he slept happily in his heart.

The news that Cheng Shijie stayed in the governor's yamen actually couldn't hide it from others.

……

It also belongs to Dengzhou City, and Dengzhou Wei commands the envoy in the Yamen.

Jin Yousheng couldn't sleep either, because his staff had already reported to him that the governor yamen had begun to investigate the truth about the annihilation of the bandit Qin Wu.

This matter was originally fake, this military merit belonged to Cheng Shijie, and once the governor investigated, it would definitely not be able to be hidden.

"Zu Xin!"

Jin Yousheng looked at Huang Zuxin and smiled bitterly: "Our trouble is big!" ”

Huang Zuxin sighed and said: "I can't be in a hurry now, the only way is for Cheng Shijie to read that we are all martial artists......

As long as Cheng Shijie doesn't change his words, the fake is also true.

"But we ......"

Jin Yousheng suddenly remembered that his daughter had been sent to Zuo Qianhu and lived in Zuo Qianhu.

However, Jin Yousheng didn't know that Cheng Shijie was not in the Qianhu Mansion at all during this time, nor did he touch his daughter.

Jin Yousheng didn't know that he hurriedly asked people to prepare a rich dowry, and went to Cheng Shijie's house in Dengzhou City with his servants and dowry.
