Chapter 200

In addition to the 92,960 soldiers in the 15 Wei and 8,000 households, more than 300,000 other 300,000 people have been scattered and resettled according to the Tuntian military households assigned by the Paining Navy.

The first thing ordinary military households do when they enter the camp is to make a roster and then start receiving equipment. The equipment of ordinary sergeants is also simple, two sets of brand-new mandarin duck battle jackets, two pairs of shoes, washbasins, lunch boxes, bedding mosquito nets, as well as a horizontal knife and a sapper shovel.

As soon as the ordinary soldiers received it, they couldn't wait to pull it out and see that the horizontal knives used by ordinary soldiers were also cold and cold, sharpening iron like clay. The handle, scabbard, and blade of the knife have no ornaments, simple and unpretentious, but there is a terrible murderous aura that makes people's hearts chill.

As for the officers with more than 1,000 households, they were concentrated in the training camp of the Training Bureau of the Ning Navy, that is, the East Battalion in Jinzhou, for training.

This is the basis of the training of officers and soldiers of the Ninghai Navy, but all officers of the Ninghai Army, including officers above the rank of the team, must undergo training here for more than three months.

As officers, they must be treated much better than ordinary soldiers, the barracks of the ordinary Ning Navy are based on teams, that is, twelve soldiers in a room, this room has only six bunk beds, three double long tables, and twelve cabinets, there is no toilet in the room, and there is no toilet.

Ordinary soldiers wash and go to the toilet, which are public toilets. But the officers are different, and the officers are divided into three sizes, one is a quadruple room. The area of the room is about the same as that of an ordinary soldier's barracks, about twenty square meters, with four single beds, four tables, and four wardrobes, the wardrobe is divided into three layers, the upper floor can be used for personal personal belongings, the lower level is placed for shoes, and the middle is placed for clothes.

The biggest difference from ordinary soldiers is that such officer barracks have separate toilets and showers, and they are separated from wet and dry.

Secondly, the double room is the same size and layout as the single room, but the people living in it are different.

The ancestors of these Wei generals must be brave and good at fighting, even if there will be some officials' children who are enshrined in hundreds of households or thousands of households, such official positions are actually concentrated in Jinyiwei.

Just like Huang Liji, a former scholar of the Jianji Palace, he was deeply favored by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and was named the hereditary Tongzhi of Jinyiwei, all Shi Shisheng, the son of Shi Fenglai, Zhang Zhifu, the son of Zhang Ruitu, and so on.

However, the hereditary thousand-household, commander-in-command, and commander-in-chief of the ordinary guards, including the commanders, their ancestors could only be given hereditary official positions by relying on their military exploits and outstanding merits.

But the problem is that thanks to this incomparably cheating guard system, military households have essentially become serfs, and hundreds and thousands of households have also become slave leaders. Of course, the slave leader is a little better off than the slave, but no matter how well the slave leader mixes, he is still a slave. The long time of more than two hundred years has long since worn out the last trace of bravery in their blood.

Cheng Shijie never expected them to fight, and he was thankful that he could plant the fields well. Of course, in Liaodong, Cheng Shijie adopted the policy of all the people being soldiers, and these guards were also leading the army, but they should still be able to deal with small bandits or small troops of Jiannu, and they couldn't let Ning Haijun do everything, right?

Of course, Cheng Shijie also has another meaning, although the guards are rotten, there are also many famous generals in the guards, just like Qi Jiguang, he is the hereditary commander of the Dengzhou guard, like Zhao Shujiao is the hereditary commander of the Jingyu guard. In addition, there is Mao Wenlong, they are all hereditary officers from the Wei Institute.

Even though most of the Daming Guards are rotten and useless, the first problem is that this foundation is too big, and no matter how bad it is, there may be a few outstanding talents.

These fifteen guards and eight thousand households, a total of more than 100 officers, did not train directly at the beginning, but familiarized them with the military discipline of the Ning Navy, and these military disciplines were not a problem for officers of the level of thousand households. Because these thousand-level officers need to deal with official documents, literacy is the most basic basic skill.

After ten days of study, these officers have all done it to memorize the military discipline of the Ning Navy, especially the officers' meals, which are also equivalent to buffet, all-you-can-eat, unlimited amounts, many officers feel that it is still good to follow Cheng Shijie's subordinates.

At least when they used to be under the command of the envoys and yamen in all provinces, they had never eaten the food invited by their bosses, and the meals that Cheng Shijie gave them, although they did not necessarily have meat for a meal, they could do it with fish for a meal, and they could drink milk and egg soup for a meal.

Living like this, they didn't dare to think about it before, they could only occasionally be extravagant, don't look at their slave leaders, but the problem is that the weather in the customs is too bad, and the military harvest is also low, so it is not easy to get some money, and they have to go up and down, otherwise, their hereditary position will not be stable.

After ten days, their hard days finally came, for the first dish of each day, it was five kilometers to be fully armed, for ordinary soldiers, five kilometers was really not a thing, after all, they had to work hard every day, and they were used to it. However, for the officers of the 15 guards and 8,000 households, this is an old life, and the officers of the 15 guards and 8,000 households are three over 55 years old, 11 people over 50 years old, 43 people over 45 years old, and 58 people over 40 years old. There are only nine people under the age of 25 and only 33 people under the age of 30.

Therefore, the physical fitness of these guards is too poor, and every day of training is simply fatal for these officers.

After two days of continuous training, Li Zhongwu, who was now 55 years old as the former commander of Chen Zhouwei, could not hold on any longer, and in desperation, he wrote a request to Cheng Shijie, requesting that his second son, Li Guoan, who is now 29 years old, be the hereditary commander.

Cheng Shijie summoned Li Zhongwu.

"The last general will meet the commander!"

"General Li is exempt!"

The commanders of the guards are all generals with titles, and they were first awarded General Zhaoyong, promoted to General Zhaoyi, and awarded General Zhaowu.

Li Zhongwu said with a smile: "I heard that the handsome bravely crowned the three armies, which made Jiannu frightened, this is the ancestral strong bow of the last general's family, the bow is strong, ordinary people can't pull it away at all, and it is just right to give it to the handsome!" ”

"No!"

Cheng Shijie said with a smile: "You are Ben Shuai's soldier, Ben Shuai will give you military salary, this is what you deserve, you don't need to thank Ben Shuai, let alone give gifts to Ben Shuai!" ”

Cheng Shijie's eyes are not blind, what kind of ancestral strong bow, this is clearly a bow made of gold, well, it is extremely heavy, at least sixteen or seventeen pounds. Equivalent to two or three thousand taels of silver.

This price is actually the market price that the commander wanted to be hereditary in the past, but the problem is that Cheng Shijie does not accept it, which makes Li Zhongwu a little uncomfortable. If he does not accept his gifts, this means that Li Zhongwu's son Li Guoan will have difficulties if he wants to inherit the command.

Could it be that Cheng Shijie fell in love with the position of the commander and wanted to install his own people?

Although it is explained that most of the commanders of the guards of the dynasty are hereditary, the hereditary official positions are not immutable, and if the hereditary officers of the guards have made meritorious contributions, they can be released as officials or promoted. Generally speaking, if the children of hereditary officials want to really perform their official duties, they must also issue an inspection report from their superiors.

If Cheng Shijie does not agree, this probationary period will be extended, canceled, or even downgraded. Don't look at the military attache is worthless, it depends on whom. Just like the village officials of later generations, people with skills really don't look down on them, but village officials also have a certain amount of power and can make money.

Cheng Shijie looked at Li Zhongwu and said with a smile: "General Li, don't be nervous, Ben Shuai also knows that we are living too miserably, guarding in the guardhouse, not enough to eat, not warm, and no one can afford us......"

"Cheng Shuai is very right!"

Li Zhongwu said seriously: "Cheng Shuai is a person with great ability, you let the military households of the Ning Navy live a life of food and clothing, and now the imperial court has transferred our fifteen guards to the Ning Navy, everyone hopes that Cheng Dashuai can be merciful, and let everyone eat a few days to eat, everyone doesn't want to live that kind of life that is not even as good as being called Huazi!" ”

Cheng Shijie pretended to be embarrassed and said: "You all know that the military families of the Ning Navy have lived a good life, but you don't know how hard they have worked and how much hardship they have endured to live a good life now!" ”

"We are also willing to endure hardship!"

Cheng Shijie sighed and said: "The guard has long been rotten, let you go to war with Jiannu, that is also difficult for the strong, we Han people are the smartest, most diligent, and most able to endure hardships in the world, we have the largest population, we have the most glorious culture, occupy the most fertile land in the world, we were born to live a good life with abundant food and clothing, let those people who hate us hide in the barren and cold eating sand and drooling!" Hunger and poverty, should be insulated from us! Ben Shuai thinks so, you see if it's okay, Haizhou Wei (Chen Zhouwei was transferred to Haizhou Wei) is only in charge of Tuntian, Ben Shuai provides you with land, provides you with seeds, and also provides technical support, you Haizhou Wei will only Tuntian in the future, how about it? ”

"Thank you for your grace!"

"Ben Shuai's ugly words will be said to the front first!"

Cheng Shijie said with a serious face: "Ben Shuai knows that your hands and feet were not very clean before, and Ben Shuai doesn't blame you, because Ben Shuai knows how poor Wei is, if you don't get some benefits, it is nothing surprising that your family will starve to death." However, the commander hopes that this kind of behavior will end here, at least during the term of office, and the commander does not want to see anyone bullying military households and enriching their own pockets. I think that an annual salary of two hundred taels of silver a year, plus a lot of bonuses, is enough for you to live a very decent life, and if you are not satisfied, I don't mind teaching you how to be a person with a horizontal knife. ”

Li Zhongwu was already dead, and when he heard Cheng Shijie say that he would give him an annual salary of two hundred taels of silver, as well as a bonus, his heart suddenly blossomed.

Ning Haijun's total annual salary is 100 taels, and there are some miscellaneous subsidies and dividends, and the actual income is as much as 150 taels per year, which is well known. The total amount of one hundred and fifty taels of silver, plus bonuses, not counting the gains and military exploits, their income is about two hundred and eighty taels.

As for the total level of Qian, it is actually an annual salary of two hundred taels of silver, plus dividends and rewards, which will be around three hundred and fifty taels of silver. Here's what they're earning.

Of course, the income and dividends of the officers of the Ning Navy are actually the captures on the battlefield, as well as the income from the suppression of bandits or other income in peacetime.

Li Zhongwu said: "Dashuai, there will be an annual salary of two hundred taels of silver in the end, if you are corrupt again, then you are really not a person!" ”

"From now on, the military household and the soldiers will be completely separated, and the military households will no longer undertake combat tasks, but only be responsible for the defense work in the jurisdiction, therefore, you can no longer support the family, and the family members you usurped must be incorporated into the army of the Ning Navy to become soldiers, and they will be responsible for fighting in the future!"

Li Zhongwu was a little embarrassed, the family was the biggest capital of the Ming army generals, which was equivalent to their private soldiers, without the family Ding, they would be nothing!

However, Li Zhongwu now understands that Cheng Shijie asked them to participate in military training, which is to put them to death, he is because he is old and weak, and he can't hold on anymore.

He promised to this condition, and if he didn't agree, he would agree.

If he really dares not to agree, Cheng Shijie will train him to death.

Li Zhongwu agreed to Cheng Shijie's three conditions, the last of which was that he was not allowed to encroach on military land, which he also had no choice.

Li Zhongwu gave Cheng Shijie the 155 soldiers he had kept in captivity, including their equipment and 56 war horses.

Li Zhongwu was the first to leave from the Jinzhou East Battalion, and at the same time there were two commanders and four commanders of Haizhouwei, a total of nine people.

They took Haizhou Wei, the original 5,000 households of Chenzhou Wei, a total of 5,600 military households, and moved the town to Shenjiaying on the bank of the Taizi River, Shenjiaying, officially renamed Haizhouwei, and the original Haizhou Acropolis was Haizhou.

Although the names are one word apart, the distance is nearly two hundred miles.

On the night when Li Zhongwu received the order to prepare to move forward, the fifteen guards and eight thousand households gathered directly together to ask Li Zhongwu how he did it, and Li Zhongwu gave everyone a wake-up call.

Everyone understood, in the face of Cheng Shijie's grace and power, they realized that everyone had different thoughts, and some still wanted to insist, writing a letter to the backstage of the imperial court, hoping that the backstage could put pressure on Cheng Shijie.

It's just that they are destined to be in vain, because Cheng Shijie won't buy it.

The fifteen guards who want to resist to the end, no, now there are only thirteen guards left, and Zhuang Huizhen, the commander of the Texas left guard, can't bear it, he was practicing the four-sided turning method, and the instructor even swollen his toes and couldn't bear it.

Zhuang Huizhen also wanted to learn from Li Zhongwu to pass on his position as a commander to his sixteen-year-old son, even if his son could hold on, it was not a matter for him to consider.

But the problem is that Cheng Shijie didn't agree at all and continued to train.

"Turn left!"

"Turn right!"

"Turn back!"

"Stand still – go!"

"Remember the key to military posture: tuck your abdomen, hold your chest up, put your fingers together on the outside of your thighs, don't squint, don't make yourself like a hunchbacked old woman, and show some of the spirit of being a soldier!"

Ning Haijun's evil queue training, in fact, is not the most uncomfortable, the most uncomfortable is standing in a military posture, a station is four quarters or even half an hour, without an order, not a single little finger can move, and the evil instructor specially took them to the grass to stand in the military posture, mosquitoes and gadflies fell on their faces, necks, greedily sucking their blood, itching so much that they couldn't move, it didn't feel much better than torture, and the instructor looked at his bitter melon face, a look of triumph that the conspiracy had succeeded.

"Whose quilt is this, why don't you fold it?"

was cleaned up severely, Zhuang Huizhen recognized the reality, his arms couldn't twist his thighs, and the hero didn't suffer the loss in front of him.

With the compromise of Zhuang Huizhen of the Texas Left Guard, there were fewer and fewer officers who remained in the East Battalion, although there were fewer officers, but the intensity of training did not decrease.

Get up early in the morning and run ten kilometers only when you wake up and sleep?

Running with a sandbag weighing forty or fifty pounds on your back is because your physical strength is too sufficient, you have to vent something?

After breakfast, the two-hour training is only when the muscles and bones are active?

Run another five kilometers before dinner in the afternoon as an appetizer?

One hundred and fifty push-ups after dinner because the instructor cares about your body?

Sometimes in the middle of the night, the third watch kicks people into the carriage and pulls them ten miles away, so that people walk back in the dark, because they are afraid that the long night will be long, everyone is too bored, and everyone will have some fun.

One by one, the officers compromised with Cheng Shijie and accepted Cheng Shijie's alliance under the city.

There is no way, if you don't accept it, you can only continue to torture.

In fact, Cheng Shijie really didn't torture them, if they went to the training camp of the Ning Navy, they would find that the training camp of the Ning Navy was the same as the training subjects of these officers.

And it is much more severe, which is the result of Cheng Shijie's deliberate release of water.

After these officers compromised, Dongda Battalion ushered in a large number of officers, all of whom were officers who came to the Ning Navy in batches for training, and their training intensity did not decrease in the slightest.

During these periods, the reclamation work of the Ning Navy in Chongzhen for six years has progressed very rapidly, and the total amount of land reclamation is more than 36 million mu, which is equivalent to more than 12 mu per capita.

This means that the population of Liaodong has officially exceeded 3 million.

Whether it is industry or agriculture, gratifying results have been achieved, which makes Cheng Shijie very happy, but the problem is that some people are not happy, for example, Huang Taiji.

The current Huang Taiji feels that Shenyang is a bit like chicken ribs.
