What Zhang Huangyan didn't know was that after he left Jiangxi, the frost fell in October, and the soldiers in Jiangxi began to assemble after helping to plant the wheat for wintering. The original soldiers and newly recruited troops in Jiangxi, even after Xiao Bing entered Huguang with an army of 50,000, there were still more than 200,000 troops, which were stationed in various provinces, among which Nanchang and Jiujiang garrisoned the most.

The officers and soldiers of all departments received orders for concentrated drills, after the wheat was planted, the whole winter was the slack season, and it was normal to conduct large-scale drills, but in the eyes of those who had a heart, there must be something important to happen, after all, it was impossible for Chen Yue, the king of Qi, not to make any moves for half a year, but he didn't know who the target was this time?

In Nanjing, the news of Zhang Huangyan's abandonment of Enke to change to the Martial Arts Academy spread out, which attracted the attention of everyone in Shilin.

Zhang Huangyan is a son of Zhejiang, and there are many classmates in the same year, even if countless people come to persuade him, Zhang Huangyan does not listen to anyone's persuasion at all, so he can only sigh and leave.

The affairs of the Wubei Academy are fully responsible for the Dadu Governor's Office, and since Chen Yue opened the Mansion, he has not been idle, imitating the precedent of the Pingnanhou Shogunate, and establishing the Zhusi in the Dadu Governor's Mansion, Yang Zhengping, Qian Fenglin and other henchmen on Dongfan Island have recalled Nanjing, and now only Chen Mo is left in Dongfan Island, supplemented by a group of officials.

There are still more than 10,000 troops on Dongfan Island, and there are Pingnan Fortress Fortified City, as well as dozens of three-masted ships, and there is no problem in terms of security, and now there are more than 200,000 immigrants on the island, half of them are immigrants from Shandong, half are fishermen from Zhoushan, and people from Fujian in the past. On the other hand, Dongfan Island implements the principle that all soldiers are soldiers, and men of appropriate age must participate in military training for three months a year, and it is not a problem to mobilize and gather another 20,000 or 30,000 troops. Now that Chen Yue is in charge of the Ming army, Chen Yue does not dare to provoke openly by borrowing Zheng Zhilong's courage, and the security of Dongfan is not worried.

Originally, Chen Yue was disappointed in Chongzhen and the imperial court and had the idea of opening up overseas, but he didn't expect that so many things would happen to Daming soon after leaving, and he had to come back to lead the troops. And it is even more unexpected to be the governor of the capital, but since he has achieved his current position, Chen Yue's eyes can only be placed on the country first, and it is not too late to open up overseas with the power of the whole country after the Ming Dynasty is pacified.

Not only Qian Fenglin, Yang Zhengping and others were recalled by Chen Yue, but the entire Ordnance Division workshop except for the shipbuilding workshop also moved back. The geographical remoteness of Zhoushan Mountain, and the insufficient supply of raw materials and materials seriously affected the production of ordnance. Now that Chen Yue has mastered Nanjing, of course, he wants to set up the workshop in Nanjing, thinking that both raw materials and labor are a hundred times more convenient than Zhoushan Mountain. On the basis of the original Ordnance Division, Chen Yue planned to integrate the original workshops in Nanjing, rapidly expand the scale, and produce them on a large scale to equip more and more troops.

After Chen Yue entered Nanjing in May, the people and materials of Zhoushan and Dongfan were withdrawn to Nanjing one after another in July, and now the workshop has long been built and is working overtime to produce, and Pan Xuezhong, Chen Yujie, and Anthony, the Tartar official of the Ordnance Department, are very busy.

And Yang Zhengping was added to the rank of Zuo Du Governor by Chen Yue's Imperial Court, and served as the director of the War Training Department in the Dadu Mansion, and was responsible for the preparation of the Military Academy together with Qian Fenglin, the director of the General Staff Department.

And along with Nanjing, there is also an important cargo, that is, more than 200,000 catties of cane sugar! As soon as it was put into the market in Nanjing, it caused a sensation, and Nanjing Baixin rushed to buy it.

Sucrose is a newly emerging industry in Dongfan. When the Dutch occupied Dongfan, there were immigrants from Fujian Province who cultivated sugar cane to boil sugar, and after Chen Yue recovered Dongfan Island, the sugar industry in Dongfan developed rapidly with the support of the government.

Most of the millions of acres of fertile land on the entire island of Dongfan Island are planted with sugarcane, except for the land necessary for growing grain. With the support of the government, more than a dozen sugar workshops were set up, and the Ordnance Department invented and improved a complete set of processes for pressing and boiling soup, making the scale of cane sugar production more than ten times that of the past.

No matter what era, sweets are many people's favorite, the Ming Dynasty naturally had sucrose, but the scale is not very large, resulting in the price of sugar, even more expensive than salt, ordinary people can't afford to eat it. The price of cane sugar is about the same as salt, as long as a slightly wealthy middle-class family can afford it.

And there are so many rich people in Nanjing City that they can count the top three in the entire Ming Dynasty, and a boatload of cane sugar arrived in Nanjing without much effort and was all sold. Tens of thousands of taels of silver were earned! It is conceivable that with the gradual expansion of the sugar industry, there will be more and more profits in the future. Dongfan Island was Chen Yue's vassal territory, and all the proceeds from the production would go into his private pocket.

Of course, Chen Yue is not short of money now, and the silver seized from Zhang Xianzhong has been spent for so long, and there are still more than three million taels of silver left. And now that he controls the Ming court, many expenses can be borne by the imperial court.

Having said so much, it's a bit far, let's get down to business.

Zhang Huangyan gave up Enke to sign up for the Martial Arts Academy Chen Yue naturally heard about it, Zhang Huangyan, Zhang Cangshui, one of the three heroes of West Lake, and Zheng Chenggong together supported half of the southeast of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and another time and space for his name, Chen Yue was naturally like thunder. Unexpectedly, Zhang Huangyan took the initiative to apply for the Martial Arts Academy and fell into his pocket!

Yan Yingyuan, Zhang Huangyan, and Zheng Sen, who was nominally under his command, most of these heroes in the late Ming Dynasty are now in their own pockets, which makes Chen Yue can't help but feel a little proud.

Now, the only one among the most famous generals in the late Ming Dynasty who is not under his own is Li Dingguo, thinking that he just killed Zhang Xianzhong and defeated the Great Western Army, it is probably impossible for Li Dingguo to surrender to himself, Chen Yue couldn't help but sigh.

But there is no way, Chen Yue thinks he is an ordinary person, and he does not have the domineering spirit of Wang Ba, and all heroes come to vote one after another. And for Zhang Huangyan, after Chen Yue was excited, he quickly put it aside. Because he has more important things to deal with.

Of course, the matter of the Armament Academy is also very important, and it is related to the future regularization and combat effectiveness of the Ming army. However, the affairs of the Wubei Academy have been planned for a long time, the setting of disciplines in the academy, the compilation of teaching materials, and even the selection of instructors and teachings are basically over, and now Qian Fenglin and Yang Zhengping are in charge of this matter, and the following is the examination of the registered students, and there are also special people in charge. Chen Yue didn't have to spend too much energy.

What really bothered Chen Yue was the next strategic issue of Daming.
