Thank you Fu Fu forfor brother for the monthly pass, thank you for the boat.

After resting comfortably at home for a few days, Xu Changqing began to shift his focus to Fengguo Town, the villages around Tiemenguan, and the affairs of the town's military tunization.

The military tun system of the Ming Dynasty was first established by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, which can be said to be a genius idea of the head of a hundred schools, and it did not cost the imperial court a meter or a millet to raise millions of soldiers.

In the early years, Zhu Yuanzhang's Northern Expedition was successful and defeated the Mongols, including the fact that Grandpa Cheng chased the Mongols deeper and farther, and the military cantonment system made great contributions.

It's a pity that the hourglass of time is too powerful.

Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the military cantonment system has begun to decay, and when Kong Youde was in turmoil in Shandong, there were more than a dozen guards in Shandong, and they could not even take out hundreds of soldiers, so they could only recruit soldiers at a high price.

At this time, the military household was already notorious, and it was not much better than a beggar.

Although Xu Changqing's side is different, and he has been planning for a long time, and he has been gathering the hearts of the people, but because of the barrier of those clan elders who have no conscience, it is Xu Changqing's prestige, and there is nothing he can do about them for a while.

But at this time, having eaten the foundation of the ghost master, Xu Changqing can be said to be rich at this time, and the time is ripe for operation.

……

Soon, an astonishing news came out from the villages and towns around Fengguo Town and Tiemen Pass.

If anyone joins the military tun, they can get a settling-in fee of five taels of silver, and Xu Changqing, the loyal and righteous uncle, will contribute money to buy the fields cultivated by these ordinary people and give them directly.

If anyone can continue to open up the wasteland, they will also be rewarded in cash.

As soon as the news came out, it quickly exploded in the surrounding villages and towns.

Five taels of silver.

It is indeed nothing to the powerful family, and it may not be enough for one meal, but for ordinary people, they may not have seen so much silver in their lives.

Not to mention, Xu Changqing will also buy the land they cultivated and give it to them.

This made the prestige of those clan elders no longer able to suppress the enthusiasm of the common people.

Who can't live with money and a good life?

"Haha, Dashuai, in just one day today, there are more than 300 people who have come to inquire, and more than 130 households have received our deposit. Not surprisingly, in just these three or two days, things can almost be cleaned up. ”

In the evening, in the temporary official hall, Yang Zhongliang excitedly reported to Xu Changqing.

For so many years, although he Yang Zhongliang is only a housekeeper, he also belongs to the 'half-gold collar' of the Ming Dynasty, but he has never been so comfortable as at this time.

Thinking of the excited appearance of those people, the helpless appearance of the sect elders who usually had a good face and a low face, but only exchanged for cold eyes, Yang Zhongliang's heart was sweeter than eating honey for a while.

Xu Changqing was also in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Uncle Liang, this is just the beginning." We're also buying horse bones now. Follow-up affairs must be properly handled and try our best to solve the troubles of the people. Also, we must pay attention to the method of transferring villages and land. ”

Of course, Yang Zhongliang understood what Xu Changqing meant, and nodded with a smile: "Dashuai, don't worry." These days, the old slave is nailed somewhere. ”

Watching Yang Zhongliang leave in a hurry, Xu Changqing's mood became more and more happy.

The common people are actually the kindest group of people, but at the same time, they are also the most difficult group of people to deal with.

If you want to keep them on the right track, you must not only move them with affection, but also know them with profit!

The more than 1,000 households around Fengguo Town and Tiemenguan are the best pilot for Xu Changqing.

……

Not surprisingly, in the next few days, more than 600 households received Xu Changqing's deposit and began to register on Xu Changqing's side.

This also means that these more than 4,000 or nearly 5,000 people have begun to be mastered by Xu Changqing.

Although many of the remaining people are still waiting, the expectation is a little unbearable.

As long as the distribution results of these new arrivals come out, those people will definitely not be able to sit still.

However, if they want to get the most out of it, it will not be possible.

Not only that, Xu Changqing is also ready to cut off some people, especially the direct family members of those sect elders!

If the gap is not widened, how can people know the preciousness of opportunities?

……

There are veterans like Yang Zhongliang and Uncle Hong who deal with the matter of military tunification, and Xu Changqing's main energy is also all focused on military training.

At the same time, qualified seedlings are selected from these new families.

At this time, Xu Changqing was not short of silver and food, but only the population.

Fortunately, Xu Changqing hired a group of laborers from Cangzhou before, and many of these people stayed in the camp to work, reducing a lot of manpower burden.

Xu Changqing also began to influence them through the subtle influence of these days, encouraging them to immigrate to Haicheng with their families, and also gave them a settling-in allowance of five taels of silver, and gave them land security.

This made many people instantly moved.

Some young people admired Xu Changqing's prestige and directly chose to give up their work as laborers and join the army directly.

Xu Changqing naturally increased the degree of preferential treatment for these sensible people, as long as their family members came over, it was a settlement fee of ten taels of silver, and at least twenty acres of land were guaranteed.

This made these Cangzhou gentlemen excited one by one, and quickly contacted their families, preparing to move their families to Haicheng.

At the same time, more and more people are choosing to join the military.

As a result, Xu Changqing recruited more than 2,000 soldiers in late April, and the size of the army suddenly expanded to nearly 5,000 people.

However, the manpower of the troops has been replenished, but the labor force for construction has been insufficient.

Fortunately, Xu Changqing has money and food at this time, and he can continue to work!

At the beginning of May, the team's drills began to get into orbit.

The number of bird soldiers has expanded to nearly 300, the pikemen have more than 3,000, the sword and shield soldiers have nearly 500, and the slingshot men have 500 men.

Coupled with the more than 600 and nearly 700 cavalry who stayed in Zhanhua, as well as 16,700 auxiliary sailors of all kinds, Xu Changqing's skeleton gradually began to take shape.

The ninth day of the fifth month.

After several months of careful examination and polishing, Xu Changqing reorganized the army, began to further restructure the regular troops, streamlined some unnecessary and cumbersome procedures, and moved the troops in the direction of modernization.

Haicheng North Camp.

This is also Xu Changqing's main camp.

Early in the morning, there are flags and soldiers.

All the forces in the Haicheng area have been gathered here, and with the auxiliaries, it has exceeded the scale of 6,000 people.

Xu Changqing also came to the camp early.

At this time, looking at the past from Xu Changqing's point of view, although the soldiers were tall, short, fat and thin, and the dishes on many of their faces had not been completely removed, everyone's faces were full of pride and hope, straight like a sharp javelin.

They are now warriors under the command of the famous Zhongyi Bo, not to mention all kinds of treatment, better than many bookkeepers and housekeepers.

Xu Changqing's side.

Zhao Zengjin, Xu Xiu, Mao Qun, Mao Tiehammer, Wang Anshan, Zhang Dagong, Li Zhu, including Tang Ruowang, were all dressed in military uniforms, serving Xu Changqing on both sides.

Tang Ruowang, a foreign devil, also changed into a bright red Qianhu official robe, although he was a little nondescript, but his eyes were full of determination, as if he had already identified with this land, Xu Changqing, and these proud sons.

However, from the end of the day, everyone began to assemble, including Xu Changqing, and everyone was assembled, but no one spoke, and they were all standing in a military posture.

This made the big girls and little daughters-in-law who were watching around a little speechless, and they didn't understand what Xu Changqing was going to do.

In the middle of the morning, the sun rose, and the sun gradually began to heat up, many people were sweating, but still no one moved, and so did Xu Changqing.

Finally, after a while, Yang Zhongliang, Ma Luan, Uncle Hong and others walked into the venue solemnly and solemnly, and they also carried a huge banner together.

Unfortunately, the flag was not unfurled at this time, and no one knew what the flag looked like.

Yang Zhongliang and the others walked very slowly, solemnly, firmly, and full of ritual.

After a week of detouring the field, this is the respectful arrival under the high platform.

Immediately, Yang Zhongliang knelt respectfully on the ground, and with the assistance of Ma Luan and Uncle Hong next to him, he held the flag high above his head, and said loudly: "Old man Yang Zhongliang, the current director of Haicheng, on behalf of Haicheng and tens of thousands of people in Zhanhua and Lijin, will give this flag to the marshal!" ”

Soon, several tall soldiers who had been waiting for a long time respectfully took the military flag, respectfully came to Xu Changqing's side, and handed the military flag to Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing took the military flag and stroked it carefully for a while, and then handed it over to these personal soldiers.

The soldiers came to the flagpole next to the high platform with the flag, carefully tied the flag to the entrance of the flagpole, and then, knelt down on one knee one after another, and respectfully said in the direction of Xu Changqing: "Boss, ready, you can raise the flag!" ”

Xu Changqing finally said the first sentence at this time: "Raise the flag!" ”

"Yes!"

Suddenly, in the solemn tent, the majestic drums sounded.

In the majestic and rhythmic rhythm of 'Dong Dong Dong', several tall soldiers who were like the honor guards of later generations began to raise the flag in a way that had been rehearsed several times.

"Salute the flag!"

At this time, Zhao Zengjin roared like a tiger.

"Whoa!"

In an instant, the nail leaves in the field suddenly sounded, and everyone except Xu Changqing knelt on one knee and saluted the flag.

As the flag was raised high along the flagpole, the three big characters on it were finally displayed in front of everyone.

"Model, model army? What does that mean? ”

"I don't know, what is Uncle doing?"

"Cut, you buns, uncle's thoughts, how can you speculate?"

“……”

The surrounding melon-eating crowd suddenly resounded with a voice of discussion, but no one could touch the core.

At this time, Xu Changqing waved his hand.

The surrounding more than a dozen drummers suddenly stopped beating, and the people subconsciously quieted down, and everyone's eyes converged on Xu Changqing.

Behind Xu Changqing, the bright red cloak was waving in the wind, the cowhide boots on his feet were shiny, and the whole person was also a little indescribably excited and shocked!

These good men are all the capital for him to settle down in this era!

Now, it's time for them to have a common honor and bring everyone together!

Taking a deep breath, Xu Changqing glanced at the people in front of him one by one.

Everyone looked at Xu Changqing with heat and admiration, but still no one dared to speak more.

Seeing that the heat was almost over, Xu Changqing began to speak: "Gentlemen, you are all good men of my Ming Dynasty, and I am Xu Changqing's siblings, I Xu Changqing was ordered to train for the Son of Heaven, and if you can join it, it has already proved your excellence!" ”

Everyone in the audience turned red with excitement, but Xu Changqing didn't let them speak, they still didn't dare to speak, they could only suppress it desperately.

Even John Tang, a foreign devil, is also honored.

This young magnate in the East is so charming that people can't help but want to follow him, he is an old bone, but he still can't help but have the taste of 'old man talking about juvenile madness'.

Xu Changqing seemed to be very satisfied with the attitude of countless soldiers, took a deep breath, nodded heavily, and said: "Next, I announce that our Shandong Left Association Model Army has been officially established!"

From today on, our model army will surely become the most powerful army in the Ming Dynasty and even in the world, invincible and sweeping the world! All of us will strive for this common goal, even if it costs us our lives! Ladies and gentlemen, do you have faith?! ”

"There is !!"

"Mighty and mighty!"

"The model army is mighty!"

"The model army wins!!"

"Model army, the first army in the world!"

When the accumulated enthusiasm of the soldiers bursts out, heaven and earth will be ignited at this moment!
