For a long time, it was as if something suddenly opened up in my heart. Fu Rugui came back to his senses and exhaled deeply: "I understand!" Qin Yiming...... You've taught me another lesson, and you know a little bit more about how to train soldiers! How is it...... Military! ”

"One ...... An army with a soul! Instead, mercenaries who exist only for money, food and clothing! Fu Rugui strode forward and looked at Zhu Cihong, his gaze was unprecedentedly firm.

After sitting on the horse and saying all this, Zhu Cihong already felt the difference in this army.

This is a Beijing camp that grew up in Jingshi, many of them are children of Jingshi, and the literacy rate is actually relatively high. Even if you are illiterate, your comprehension skills are not weak. Zhu Cihong believed that his words had begun to quietly change, injecting something new into the army under his command.

After doing this, all that left for Zhu Cihong was to wait. Wait for what kind of brilliance this army will bloom and how powerful it will be.

And other general affairs...... Zhu Cihong was obviously about to be dumped with his subordinates.

It's just that looking at Fu Rugui, who was quickly following him, Zhu Cihong had a headache. He remembered a task, and I was afraid that the matter of expanding the army would have to be handled by himself.

"Yuan Xi, there is a task, I'm afraid you need to be in person. It's a matter of ...... The world has changed! Zhu Cihong said in a deep voice.

Yuan Xi is the character of Fu Rugui. Hearing Zhu Cihong so solemn, Fu Rugui was stunned for a moment, but he still reacted quickly: "Yes, my subordinates receive orders." ”

Zhu Cihong slowly bowed his head, thinking about something in a slight daze.

Seeing that Zhu Cihong didn't speak, Fu Rugui was also silent. Instead, his gaze fell on Zhu Cihong's purpose.

In the direction Zhu Cihong walked, most of the decaying villages were houses piled up with mud at random, and the few brick houses were also quite dilapidated, either with broken window paper or broken roof tiles.

In the distance, there were a few kilns with green smoke burning, and a few ragged and fast-moving men were busy, obviously craftsmen.

And here, obviously, is a village of artisans.

Fu Rugui didn't quite understand why Zhu Cihong came here. However, when he thought of the affairs of the army, he still said worriedly: "Yiming, how to deal with the expansion of the army?" ”

Fu Rugui's voice made Zhu Cihong slowly react from his thoughts, only to hear him say slowly: "I will personally preside over the expansion of the army." In the most important places, I have arranged food, salary, names, equipment and armaments, and soldiers. ”

Of course, Zhu Cihong doesn't have to worry about food. Zhu Cihong's arrangement of Si En's activities in Beijing not only made Emperor Chongzhen agree to the reform of the tax division, but also gave Zhu Cihong the right to withhold part of the tax revenue. In addition, Linqing is actually an important grain transshipment center in the entire north, so with silver, there is no need to worry about grain and grass.

As for the name, Zhu Cihong also has a way.

The tax division is a customs department, which is said to be a civil department. But in fact, there are countless bandits on the canal, and the local law and order is uneven. In addition, the tax division has its own armed forces, that is, an army with a general armor and a public order level composed of patrols.

Don't look at the tax division is just a six-grade yamen, but in fact, it includes patrol officers, guards, patrol arresters and general armor, and the number of people is also hundreds.

Zhu Cihong's study and assessment of the tax division is not only to strengthen his own reform and implementation of the tax division and strengthen his thorough control over the tax division, but also to sort out the consideration of the armed forces of the tax division.

Naturally, Zhu Cihong's 120 spearmen and 400 new troops would all enter the command of the Taxation Division and become the armed forces under the name of the Taxation Division.

Of course, this was only to establish a legal position in name, so that Zhu Cihong could call on the power of the imperial court to build an army. In fact, whether it is the pro-army guards led by the old seventeen or the new 400 new troops, Zhu Cihong's discipline regulations and daily propaganda tone are all the appearance of Zhu Cihong's private soldiers.

In addition to the name and salary, Fu Rugui guessed that Zhu Cihong should have a way, and this equipment and military source made Fu Rugui worried.

The scale of the force established by the tax division can only be limited to the level of law and order in terms of the regulation of the imperial court, which means that it is difficult to take out the firearms taken out by the Jingshi in an open and honest manner.

As for the source of soldiers, the huge recruitment of troops obviously made Fu Rugui uncertain whether it would provoke the impeachment of the imperial history.

Thinking like this, Fu Rugui also expressed his worries.

After finishing speaking, Fu Rugui thought that Zhu Cihong would have some clever plan.

Unexpectedly, after listening to Fu Rugui's words that he was worried about causing some trouble, he laughed and said: "Lu Mi Gong just rest assured to practice, the iron-armored longbow and crossbow, as long as it is conducive to the formation of combat power, there is no need to worry about these so-called criticisms." I have my own hands on these things. ”

Fu Rugui looked at Zhu Cihong steadily, and only after a long time did he respond softly: "My subordinates understand." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Cihong nodded, and said, "The matter of Bingyuan, I really don't want to make a big fuss." The main thing is that no one wants to know about the existence of the new army so quickly. Therefore, the Linqing Camp Branch of the Ministry of Industry is a good place to go. ”

"Camp Division?" Fu Rugui recalled. He is not an ordinary scholar and scholar, but the son of Fu Shuxun, who is familiar with allusions in the DPRK and China, but after a slight thought, he remembered that Linqing did have a camp division. This was built when Ming Chengzu built the capital of Beijing. In order to burn the bricks and stones used in the construction of the capital.

After the completion of the construction of the capital, although Beijing's demand for bricks and stones has been greatly reduced, the Linqing brick kiln has also begun to become tribute bricks, and there is always some demand for the kiln in Linqing intermittently. So a hundred years later, this Linqing still has a branch of the camp responsible for transporting bricks and stones to the north, which can be regarded as a state-owned enterprise in the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Daming's state-owned enterprises are not the eldest son of the country, but like a group of slave laborers.

Officially, because of the hard work of the camp division and the lack of oil and water, no one is even willing to be the head of the camp branch here, and he has always been responsible for the daily affairs of the camp and repair branch because of the nine product experience.

Therefore, when Zhu Cihong mentioned to Yang Chuan that he wanted to come over the camp division, Yang Chuan agreed. In this matter, Yang Chuan really didn't lie.

It is now the end of the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Chongzhen has been worried about state affairs every day for fifteen years, and he doesn't even have the heart to build his own imperial tomb, where is there any heart to build a palace. In this way, the Linqing tribute bricks that were once valued by the Yongle Emperor were no longer cared for.

In this way, the camp division has become a burden, and money has to be allocated every year to maintain the operation, but the population here has already increased several times in a hundred years, how can the little money of the Linqing camp branch be enough for tens of thousands of people to eat and drink?

Naturally, this is doubly disgusting. Can it be ...... Zhu Cihong took it as a treasure!
