Thinking of this, Liu Zeqing said coldly: "It seems that Lord Qin Xia still doesn't know that there are five hundred families under my command!" Since you want to review, then don't forget these 500 strong soldiers under my command! ”

Liu Zeqing said, stared at Zhu Cihong, suddenly got up, raised his right hand, opened his five fingers, and raised it high.

Suddenly, not far in front of Liu Zeqing. Opposite the old seventeen guards, more than 500 families wearing cotton armor were also solemn. When Liu Zeqing's gesture came out, the five hundred family members immediately walked out in unison, and turned to face the hundred spearmen of the old seventeen. When they looked at each other, it was as if sparks collided in the air.

Seeing this, Yang Chuan and Sheng Zhongquan glanced at each other and smiled.

"Qin Xia. How are these 500 Shandong Town's family soldiers better than the patrol army of the Tax Division under your command? Sheng Zhongquan said, looking at Zhu Cihong, the meaning was self-evident.

In the Ming Dynasty, the war basically did not rely on soldiers. Because the annual salary of 10,000 troops is paid, after passing through the household officials, local provincial departments, and generals, there is only 40% of the appearance in hand, even if the generals are not greedy or occupied, the military quota of 10,000 people can only support 4,000 soldiers. If you meet a master like Liu Zeqing, who invades the army and eats the blood of soldiers, 10,000 troops can support two or three thousand people.

That's it, the military salary will also be discounted. Those with a little conscience will be discounted, and those who are ruthless will only leave a ration for the soldiers.

Therefore, the generals of the Ming Dynasty can only rely on their families to fight many times. Compared with those soldiers in the army roster, the family members who only belong to the generals themselves are more like professional soldiers. They basically don't have to worry about the pressure of survival, and no matter how greedy the generals are, they will pay eighty or ninety percent of their salaries. When encountering a desperate family like Liu Zeqing, he has to give a reward from time to time to stabilize people's hearts. Such a family member is more able to obey orders, and he is also attentive to battle formation training and martial arts drills.

Therefore, when Liu Zeqing found that five thousand goods could not suppress Zhu Cihong, he immediately pulled out his family.

The hundreds of pro-army troops in Zhu Cihong's hands are certainly strong and capable of fighting, but in Liu Zeqing's opinion, being able to fight in this category is a one-on-one power, and it will be as weak as a group fight.

Sure enough, when the five hundred families pulled up, the whole field suddenly became quiet.

Liu Zeqing's five hundred families are considered a lot among the generals in the entire Northland. The quality doesn't matter for the time being, but as soon as the momentum is put up, the whole morale is raised.

Aren't you Qin Xia going to review?

Good!

Show you the strong soldiers I have at hand!

I've subdued you, how can I knead it or not my words?

Liu Zeqing thought like this, looked at Zhu Cihong, and a smile slowly emerged, as if he had seen the scene of Zhu Cihong going to wash and beg for mercy.

Even behind Zhu Cihong, Chang Zhilang, who followed, couldn't help but worry.

In this scene, if Zhu Cihong uses force, he is likely to be beaten by others. And...... They are all officers and soldiers of the court, how did they become like this?

Chang Zhilang only felt that the world had become a little chaotic, but Liu Zeqing, Yang Chuan and Sheng Zhongquan, who had been in the place for a long time, felt extremely normal. If you can really pull out the benefits of 100,000 taels from Zhu Cihong's hands, even if it is a burst of infighting to the court, what then?

"Come on, let's count how many troops need to be issued for such a strong army. Lord Qin is our God of Wealth in Linqing, and he can collect two or three thousand taels of silver a day in one place. There is no problem in thinking about the military expenditure of just 100,000 taels! Yang Chuan clapped his hands and said, quietly doubling the fifty thousand taels he just said. And this, obviously, does not count the benefits that can be obtained by armor equipment.

Sheng Zhongquan also smiled and said: "Yes, yes, yes." Thinking about it, with the boldness of Lord Qin, after seeing such a strong army, he would definitely not be stingy with military supplies. ”

Zhu Cihong squinted his eyes and looked at the five hundred families.

This is obviously Liu Zeqing's biggest reliance, and it is also what all wealth and nobility rely on.

But in Zhu Cihong's opinion...... But that's not it.

Ruan Yingzhao and Liu Kecheng, two of Liu Zeqing's generals, did not go to arrest beggars and come in to make up for military salaries. But in fact, in Zhu Cihong's view, the so-called soldiers in the hands of Ruan Yingzhao and Liu Kecheng and others are just like beggars.

These people's military salaries are deducted from one or two or five dollars a month, and they receive five or seven dollars a month, and sometimes they are in arrears for one or two months. After such treatment, even having enough to eat is a problem, and what kind of training is there to talk about.

More importantly, in the eyes of these generals, these soldiers are like cannon fodder. If you say how much they value it, it's nonsense, almost all of them are slave property in their own hands, and they will not starve their subordinates to death, and there will never be love and respect.

Since the generals don't treat the soldiers as human beings, the soldiers obviously have no reason to work for these officials.

Naturally, such a soldier has no spirit at all. In Zhu Cihong's critical eyes, it is a bit of a beggar to say that he is a beggar.

As for these family members under Liu Zeqing, under Zhu Cihong's scrutinizing gaze, they can be regarded as out of the level of beggars, and they can barely be regarded as a usable force.

But how awesome...... It was Hughti.

This can only be said to be a normal and well-drilled army, with mediocre morale, with no dazzling results and no conviction.

These thoughts circled around Zhu Cihong's heart, and when they came to his mouth, he heard Zhu Cihong say with a somewhat subtle expression: "What about this military quartermaster...... Naturally, I was going to provide for it. ”

Hearing Zhu Cihong say this, Liu Zeqing immediately laughed unabashedly: "Haha, good." Those who know the times are Junjie! ”

Yang Chuan and Sheng Zhongquan on the side glanced at each other, and they both saw the smugness in each other's eyes. At the same time, a thought popped up in their hearts: "This time, if they don't knock out the benefits of 150,000 yuan from Qin Xia's hands, then how can they be willing to be tricked by Zhu Cihong?" ”

Just when a few people thought about the benefits of 150,000 taels of silver in their hearts......

saw Zhu Cihong's expression change, his voice was on one side, and he was full of momentum: "But that's for my hands, three thousand strong soldiers!" Now what kind of beggar-like things in Shandong town are broken, rotten, and iron, and they are worthy of receiving silver from me? ”

After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, he didn't give a few people a gap to interject, and then shouted loudly: "Liu Sheng, Liu Zhen, Liu Quan!" ”

"Where are the soldiers of the three armies? Camp Review! ”

When Zhu Cihong finished speaking, he suddenly saw the drum sound again.

Knock knock knock......

"The last general, Liu Sheng, arrive! The infantry battalion listens! Line up, walk in unison! Camp Review! ”

A clear voice rang out.

Stomp ......

The sound of neat footsteps sounded again.

I saw Liu Sheng leading a group of soldiers in new-style military uniforms to walk into the university yard in unison.
