Xiangshan killed hundreds of banner troops, plus the disabled and attrition banner army was close to 200, so that the military households were not enough.

When he returned to Xiangshan and came out of the Ordnance Bureau, the first thing Chen Mu did was to reorganize the flag army.

The Tan people are not all more sons and more blessings, and they don't think that the number of dead flag soldiers is small before, but now there are more dead flag soldiers, and they suddenly want to continue to hook the Zheng army but can't hook it, if it weren't for the complaints of the hundreds of households sent to Gou Ding, Chen Mu didn't know that there were seventy or eighty baby soldiers like Wei Balang under his command.

This is probably the dilemma faced by all the guards, the military household is full, but the flag army is not full, either use children to fill the regular army, or can only face the reality of insufficient flag army.

"Why don't you make them into a hundred households, and I'll bring them!"

Wei Balang patted his chest with his hand, looking like an adult already, "They can also practice, a year or two, and they can also kill!" ”

"There are not many soldiers, and there is no shortage of soldiers in Xiangshan, what are you anxious about?" Chen Mu seemed to be smiling, although Xiao Hachiro's height was about to grow up, but there was still a strong desire to prove himself in his heart, "You want to take them easily, I also have this idea." ”

It didn't take long for Chen Mu to raise his head and tear off the paper and stuff it into Wei Ba's hand, "Those little dolls will be handed over to you to bring, press this, first start from reading and learning arithmetic, swordsmanship, gunning, artillery, boating, astronomy, geography, art of war, baggage, you will have to teach them, if you don't know, hurry up and learn, and then teach them again." ”

"The art of war of Qi Shuai in Jizhen, this is a copy I copied after my annotation, you can keep it, but don't copy it." Chen Mu said and said to Wei Balang: "The purpose of the new book is to guard against the Japanese invaders, and it is also the experience gained in the conquest of the Japanese invaders, our future enemies may not be the Japanese invaders, reading the book is the same as listening to people's words, we must see what he did not say - adapt measures to the enemy's conditions." ”

Adapting measures to the enemy's conditions is Chen Mu's summary of Qi Jiguang's writing of the art of war in the Southern Peace War.

In the art of war in the past, it was all about adapting measures to local conditions and what important tasks needed to be considered in fighting the enemy in different environments; In Qi Jiguang's case, he not only analyzed the environment, but also paid more attention to the enemy's strengths and weaknesses, and it was probably this kind of thinking that helped him invent new armaments and use new tactics, so that he restrained the Japanese to death.

The same thing, the wolf is a hundred trials against the Japanese invaders, but against the armored infantry is only the way to die; The incomparable tiger squat cannon in the law and order war can only turn from long-range attack to close defense in the northern Xinjiang conflict.

This is a methodology that almost everyone understands in later generations, but it is extremely valuable in this era.

Chen Mu didn't plan to let Wei Ba really train these little dolls into killing machines, and even if they were killing machines in the future, Chen Mu didn't plan to let them go into battle before they learned it.

The extermination of Zeng's fleet is a major event for the entire Fujian and Guangzhou, and it is also of great significance to Chen Mu, which means that in the next year or two, in addition to the surrendered Lin Daoqian, there is only Lin Feng, a large pirate force.

The sea is relatively calm, and commerce will be more prosperous.

It's just that Chen Mu is still not idle, and there are many things in front of him.

After this battle, most of the survivors of the Xiangshan Banner Army were elite soldiers, personally defeated the powerful enemy, brought the Xiangshan Banner Army unparalleled morale and courage, and the drill after returning was also more energetic.

Affirm discipline and it's time to put it on the agenda.

It's not the kind of battlefield that you can't run away from in the past, and those who flee die; Or the discipline that the battlefield can't pick up money, and those who pick up money die.

Rather, in the course of rest, in the course of exercise, and in the course of combat, all kinds of rules and regulations and discipline regulations should be formulated in order to achieve the goal of further increasing cohesion and combat effectiveness.

In the same way, the banner army received Chen Mu's favors, meritorious service on the battlefield, and remuneration for work in his spare time, and only after meeting the basic needs of survival can he be strictly disciplined, otherwise it is just empty talk.

When stealing a little war booty on the battlefield is richer than his whole family's possessions, even if the sword hangs around his neck, he will still take risks, and the law has always been a dead letter to the real barefoot.

Only when they are no longer barefoot, and their wives and children are well fed and clothed, and they know that it is good for them to obey orders, can they better carry out their orders.

In addition to military discipline, there is also civil discipline.

Xiangshan began to weave silk and brocade after buying a loom last year, and Xiangshan can weave a lot of silk and satin, but the channels for purchasing raw silk are very limited, not to mention that they can't go against farming, which sets the upper limit for their silk production.

Even so, there were still 800 horses of silk in the treasury from Xiangshan to Pingding.

"Father-in-law, the silk of Xiangshan is not ranked in the market, they have all kinds of skills such as hooking flowers and hollowing out, and they all sell the best to Fanyi, and these woven by our Xiangshan can't be sold at a high price."

Li Dan took some from Xiangshan, and he also shouldered the mission of changing a big black ship to Xiangshan Shipyard, and ran back to the Yamen of Xiangshan Qianhu to report the market to Chen Mu, saying: "Sixteen horses of the best silk can be sold for nearly a hundred gold, and our sixteen horses in Xiangshan can only be sold for twenty or thirty gold coins." ”

Chen Mu frowned slightly, he didn't take into account the difference in price because of the different quality of silk, so in fact, they did not make much profit, and even after deducting the cost, the manpower remuneration was extremely low.

In comparison, the profit has only doubled.

Eight hundred horses of silk can only be sold for more than two thousand taels of silver, and if it is distributed according to Chen Mu's expected military household four points, three points in the treasury, and three points for him, the military household will not be able to get one or two taels of silver.

The part that was divided into the Thousand Households Treasury was not even enough to exchange for a big black ship.

It's better than nothing, probably every military household can get two more stone rice for weaving silk, which is also a bit of a reward.

"What about the ones that the Governor has set off?"

Speaking of this, Li Dan was happy and said: "Naturally, there are many good things allocated by the government, some of which can be sold for hundreds of gold coins, and the lowest one is also the price of sixteen horses and sixty gold coins. ”

Saying that, Li Dan explained to Chen Mu: "The children specifically asked, they are different from us, our silk can also be bought by ordinary farmers who have land at home, they can't do it, they buy silk and satin are all dignitaries, so this ordinary silk is not easy to sell in them, and the price can't go up." ”

Li Dan also gave Chen Mu a plan, and said: "Father-in-law, don't sell the silk woven by our Xiangshan next year to Haojing, if you look for a merchant in Guangzhou Mansion and sell it, you can buy two of the best silk for three horses, exchange them for food, and then sell the best silk into Haojing, you can get five times more profits!" ”

The brain can.

If you can find a home to take over these silks in Daming, and then find a home to sell silk, this industry can continue to develop.

"How about a hundred and twenty pieces of silk to be sent by Pereira from Manthorn plus a big black ship?"

Chen Mu nodded, this time the Yishang came, so that Xiangshan could make enough money, "Sell, it's all sold, let him send someone to drive the big ship to Haojing before winter!" ”
