There is a joke that the moon of the fifteenth is sixteen round, and the moon on the sixteenth night is indeed rounder and brighter than the moon of the fifteenth.

Since most of the gentry in Fenghua County have been confiscated, the industries under their names have naturally been seized, so now the entire Fenghua County is obviously depressed and deserted. Because of this, Xu Jin's celebration banquet for rewarding the three armies was not very smooth, and it was not until it was dark that Xu Jin and the generals finished the celebration banquet.

When Xu Jin came out of the barracks, the sky was already completely dark, and a round and large moon was rising from the sky, and the bright moonlight was sprinkled all over the city walls.

Song Dayan and Er Niu followed Xu Jin step by step. These two guys are tall and strong, nearly two meters tall, casting a "huge" shadow on the ground, like two door gods, but it is extremely intimidating.

Because Fenghua County has just been recovered, and Xu Jin has raided most of the local gentry resolutely, there are not many haters who are waiting for an opportunity to retaliate, and from yesterday to now, Xu Jin has been assassinated in two waves.

Although Xu Jin came to Fenghua this time with 50 Jinyi guards and 20 500 battalion soldiers, for the sake of safety, Yu Dayou still planned to personally lead 50 personal soldiers to send Xu Jin back to his residence in the city.

After all, Xu Jin was used to seeing the wind and waves, how could he be intimidated by the assassination of a few rats, and seeing that the moonlight was just right now, he rejected the suggestion of Han Dajie of the Jinyi Guard to take a carriage, and walked towards the city gate.

Yu Dayou followed Xu Jin with a knife on his waist, but his eyes were not looking at Song Dayan, and he looked like he wanted to speak.

Xu Jin couldn't help but quip: "General Yu is fighting the idea of this official's personal entourage?" ”

Yu Dayou took the opportunity to say: "The handsome man is really discerning, Song Dayan is very skilled, if it is a pity to be a lifelong follower, it just happens that there is a shortage of people under the command of the general, can the handsome man cut his love?" ”

Xu Jin said with a smile: "The official is worried that there is nowhere to send this kid, as long as General Yu has the ability to move him, just take it away." ”

Yu Dayou was overjoyed when he heard this, he only took a fancy to Song Dayan's bravery because Xu Jin also took a fancy to Song Dayan's bravery, so he received a bodyguard by his side, and if he dared to be a bodyguard, it would be the best, like Song Dayan, once he went to the battlefield, he was definitely a rare fierce general, and it was too wasteful to be a bodyguard.

"Big Eyed Brothers......"

"I'm not a soldier!"

As soon as Yu Dayou spoke, he was coldly splashed with a bucket of cold water by Song Dayan, and he couldn't help frowning and persuading: "Brother Big Eye, there is a way: how can a man take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures." If you are an eagle, you should spread your wings and fly high, if you are a hero, you should gallop on the battlefield, and if you are a hero, you should immediately look for the marquis......"

"I don't think there's anything wrong with being an entourage!" Before Yu Dayou finished speaking, he was choked back by Song Dayan's words.

Erniu grinned and said: "Brother Big Eyes is right, there is nothing wrong with being an entourage, the third rank official in front of the prime minister." When the master becomes the first assistant in the future, we will be a third-grade official, not necessarily worse than the marquis. ”

Yu Dayou was choked and rolled his eyes again, but Erniu's foolish thing is not unreasonable, with Xu Jin's current momentum, as long as there is no accident, it will only be a matter of time before the first assistant of the cabinet is added.

At this time, Song Dayan said again: "I don't want to be an official, and after a few days of answering the kindness of the adult, I will ask the adult to resign." ”

Xu Jin frowned imperceptibly, it seems that this kid now has a deep prejudice against officers and soldiers, and it is unlikely that he will join the army, no matter what, since Sangun has followed Wang Shouren to learn art for three years, he really lacks a master to protect him.

Seeing Song Dayan's resolute attitude, Yu Dayou also gave up, and said instead: "Marshal, there is a serious shortage of personnel under the command of the last general, and the soldiers must be replenished as soon as possible." ”

It is said that Yu Dayou's soldiers are all Yangzhou Wei and Gaoyou Wei who broke through in Fenghua at the beginning, with a total of more than 800 people, after a battle outside the city of Ningbo and a battle to recover Fenghua County, now there are only about 500 people left, and the guerrilla general with only 500 people is indeed shabby, and it is time to replenish the troops immediately.

Xu Jin nodded and said, "How about this official let Guanhaiwei join your command?" ”

Because Guanhaiwei killed Liang Maogong, all the officers were beheaded, and more than 1,000 soldiers who directly participated in the killing of Liang Maogong were also beheaded at the same time, so today's Guanhaiwei is equivalent to being abolished, and only more than 2,000 stragglers remain.

Yu Dayou heard that Xu Jin was planning to give Guanhaiwei to himself, so he hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head, the combat effectiveness of the Weisuo army was too poor and he lacked courage, he couldn't look down on it, and he didn't want a soldier like Guanhaiwei who had a bad reputation.

Seeing this, Xu Jin couldn't help but be strong, it seemed that Guanhaiwei's number had to be canceled and rebuilt, and asked: "Then how does Yu Guerrilla plan to replenish the troops?" ”

The guards of the Ming Dynasty were hereditary, the father died and the son succeeded, the brother died and the brother died, and each death was re-elected from the military household to fill in, but as far as the current situation is concerned, it is not realistic to return to Yangzhou Mansion to re-select the army, and the time is not allowed.

Yu Dayou obviously already had his own ideas, and said cautiously: "Great Marshal, the last general wants to recruit and train a new army on his own. ”

Xu Jin felt strange in his heart, because as long as he nodded, the famous "Yu Jiajun" was about to be born. In the late Jiajing period, the two most famous anti-Japanese armies were Yu Dayou's "Yu Family Army" and Qi Jiguang's "Qi Family Army".

Yu Dayou saw that Xu Jin didn't answer, and he couldn't help but feel worried, the military system of the Ming Dynasty is hereditary by the guard, not to mention anything else, it is also taboo for generals to privately fund the army, because those in power will worry that the generals will support the army and respect themselves.

Just when Yu Dayou was nervous, Xu Jin smiled and said: "Your idea is good, I have been founding the country for more than 150 years, and the hereditary military system of the Wei Institute is no longer applicable, if you want to strengthen the country and the army, you should indeed reform drastically, and recruiting soldiers is a good way." However, the matter is serious, and the official must first write to the emperor to ask for permission, but how can Yu Guerrilla start the recruitment of troops now, the upper limit is 5,000. ”

Yu Dayou was so excited that he immediately knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Xie Dashuai!" ”

Xu Jin nodded and said: "Get up, make a plan to come out and show Ben Shuai a look, and then Ben Shuai will allocate a sum of money to you, but the ugly words are said in front, don't open your mouth, Ben Shuai is very poor now." ”

Yu Dayou's face turned red with excitement, and he knelt down on one knee again and shouted: "Xie Dashuai!" ”

Xu Jin smiled and walked towards the city gate with his hands behind his back, Yu Dayou hurriedly stood up and followed, so excited that his legs were like springs, and it was really cool to follow a far-sighted and enlightened boss.

Drive......

At this moment, a fast horse galloped from the official road in the moonlight, and was stopped by officers and soldiers before they could reach the vicinity, but the other party was a Jinyi Wei messenger who came from Ningbo Mansion.

Soon, an urgent report was presented to Xu Jin, Xu Jin did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly opened the urgent report, and looked at it by the light of the torch, and his sword eyebrows suddenly wrinkled.

It turned out that this urgent report came from Jinhua Mansion next door, and there was a civil uprising in Yiwu County, which was subordinate to Jinhua Mansion, and the matter was not small, and the local officials couldn't suppress it, so they sent an urgent report to Xu Jin to send troops to suppress it.

"Dashuai, what's going on?" Yu Dayou saw that Xu Jin's face was not good-looking, so he asked cautiously.

Xu Jin casually handed the emergency report to Yu Dayou, and said in a deep voice: "There is a civil uprising in Yiwu County, Jinhua Prefecture, Yu guerrilla, this commander ordered you to immediately lead your troops to quell the chaos, and if the soldiers are not enough, you can temporarily seconded to Chang Guowei." ”

Yu Dayou took the urgent report and glanced at it, and immediately said lightly: "It's just the disease of scabies, but there is no need to borrow soldiers and horses, and I will take a cavalry to kill it in the end, and I can reach it tomorrow." ”
