The majestic military music sounded, followed by the three thousand tigers singing in unison, singing the military song of the Jishi Army that Zhu Jishi "composed" and composed lyrics - "Helping the World to Restore China". But how does this tune sound so similar to the "Internationale" of later generations?

"Arise, slaves under Manchu oppression! Full of enthusiasm, fight to the death! Destroy the Eight Banners of the Tartars and restore my Chinese Ming Dynasty. Mo Daowu was born humble, and there is a kind of prince and Hou Ning? The overseas Son of Heaven has returned, leading us to destroy and rejuvenate China, and the Han family will rejuvenate!

Eight banners and traitors in the green camp, how can they stop me from rejuvenating China, and how can I stop millions of soldiers from the Ming Dynasty. The Han people all over the world have not yet risen up to welcome our China Zhengshuo and slaughter all the captives who stole the country! Welcome me to China Zhengshuo and slaughter all the captives who stole the country! The Han family is revived! Fang Chongxing......"

This piece is composed according to the "Internationale", and Zhu Jishi is a little familiar with the rhythm, but it has not yet reached the point where he can compose a new song, so he can only plagiarize. Although it is the tune of a Western march, it does sound stirring - this song was originally intended to incite rebellion! Not only did the 3,000 officers and men who sang "Helping the World Restore China" all of them boil with enthusiasm, but the thousands of new recruits who came to Lantau Island in the surrounding area also felt that they couldn't suppress the blood in their hearts, and the scorching fighting spirit poured into their bodies, churning in their hearts.

"This is the heroic martyr who followed me Zhu Jishi to Nanyang and Guangdong since 1845 and spilled his blood on the battlefield. Everyone's name will forever be preserved in my Ming Martyrs' Shrine......"

The song "Helping the World and Recovering China" ends. The high-spirited spirit still lingered in mid-air. Zhu Jishi shouted loudly, so that his voice could reach the ears of everyone in the Tung Chung Walled City School Grounds.

Today is the day when the recruits enter the camp -- after the Battle of Lantau Island, Zhu Jishi issued a conscription order through Daming Mountain, Guangyi Hall, Xiaodaohui, and all the Hongmen Hui parties who could be contacted. Call on the Hong family brothers who are determined to regain their sight to come to Hong Kong to join each other. In less than a month, nearly 8,000 strong men were gathered, all of whom were concentrated in Tung Chung City, Lantau Island.

Before the recruits enter the camp, they sing military songs and then worship the souls of the faithful. These are all important steps in rallying the morale of the military and establishing prestige. Of course, it can also boost the morale of all the soldiers of the Jishi Army. Because in the past year and a half, there have been only 38 loyal martyrs sacrificed in the Jishi Army!

"The names of these thirty-eight loyal martyrs will always be in our hearts, and they will be immortal!"

After a year and a half of war, the total number of destroyed Nanyang native soldiers, Hui Dang and the army of the Qing Dynasty has reached nearly 30,000, and more than 10,000 have been killed and killed. And his own sacrifice is only 38 people, and the total number of casualties is less than 100! This is the difference between the modern Western-style army and the decadent feudal rabble!

Of course, the opponents that Ji Shijun is encountering now can be said to be the best rabble. If it is replaced by the samurai army of Japan or the warlord of Minslin in Afghanistan, or even the Eight Banners soldiers who just entered the customs that day, the strength of the current Jishi army will be used. It's not bad if you don't lose the battle.

Any commander on this shijie, any strong army, has a process of growth. If you encounter a strong enemy too early, you will inevitably be in danger of dying. In this regard, Zhu Jishi and his Jishijun can be regarded as lucky people, with a bunch of tofu scum sparring partners growing together with them.

For the 8,000 new recruits who entered the camp today, this slight casualty figure let them know the strength of the Jishi Army and gave them the confidence to defeat the Manchus. Coupled with the majestic military song before, and Zhu Jishi's 3 silver dollars per month, full of food, warm clothes, and preferential treatment of 20 acres of good land per person after ten years of service, how can the morale of this army not rise?

By the way, Zhu Jishi's current military salary is naturally more than twice as generous as Emperor Daoguang's green battalion soldiers. However, compared with the soldiers who joined the Jishi Army before Lantau Island, it is much thinner. After all, as the scale of the Jishi Army continued to expand in the future, it was difficult to bear the excessively high military salary.

So at Zuo Zongtang's suggestion, Ji Shijun issued a promissory note of "20 acres of land per person". In addition, all soldiers who joined the Che Shi Army before Lantau were promoted to non-commissioned officers, whether they served in Borneo or on the Canton fleet of the Canton Fleet of the Canton Trading Company of Canton, Hong Kong or the Nanyang Trading Company. The military salary is still 8 silver dollars, and after ten years of service, you can also get another 20 acres of land. As for the source of land, there are so many loyal civil and military generals and eight banner nobles in the Qing Dynasty, which one is not a super big landlord? And the land outside the gate is still idle there!

"Military advisor, master book, this meritorious field charter must be formulated as soon as possible, and we will start promulgating and implementing it after we conquer Guangdong Province."

As soon as the enlistment ceremony of the recruits ended, Zhu Jishi returned to the headquarters in the city of Tung Chung to discuss with the military division Zuo Zongtang and the chief bookkeeper Lu Peifang about opening the meritorious field.

The land promised by Zhu Jishi to the officers and soldiers of Jishi is the meritorious field, but the entire meritorious field system is not so simple, but it has expanded more than half of the land in China! According to Zhu Jishi's vision, this land must be linked to allegiance to the Ming Dynasty! All families in China who own more than 20 acres of land must cut their braids to show their loyalty! Otherwise, the fields are confiscated! Anyone who owns more than 50 acres of land must not only cut his braids, but also have to join the Jishi Army as a soldier, otherwise, the family's fields will also be confiscated!

In addition, all men who have meritorious service in the imperial examination, as long as they cut off their braids and report to the local county government, their meritorious reputation in the imperial examination will be recognized and they are eligible to be officials of the Ming Dynasty! If you refuse to cut your braids, you will have to never tell the story.

As for the land of the family of the Manchu court bureaucracy, if the bureaucrat had not abandoned the Qing Dynasty and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty before the Jishijun occupied his hometown, then the land of the family would have been confiscated! Family members are also confined to designated places and fed on their own.

"Ming Gong, isn't this too harsh?"

It was Lu Peifang, the chief bookkeeper, who said this, and the so-called chief bookkeeper was actually the secretary general, who was under Zuo Zongtang and Liu Peng, and was Zhu Jishi's courage. In the end, this person has been over-promoted, the article is very good, and he is also competent to be a master bookkeeper. It's just that his thinking is still a little conservative, and he is not as open as Zuo Zongtang.

"Where's the harshness?" Zuo Zongtang handed a stack of manuscripts full of words to Zhu Jishi, and said with a smile, "Brother Yingshi (Lu Peifang), now it is a death match in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the benevolence of a woman must not be saved!" ”

"It's okay to cut your braids, but you can force the landlord's family to become a soldier," Lu Peifang frowned, "It seems to ...... Something is wrong, right? ”

In today's China, people who own more than 50 acres of land are either wealthy businessmen or scholars, most of the former are also famous, and the latter has at least one talent in the family to support the façade, otherwise they will not be able to keep the family business. It is really difficult for such a person to become a soldier. Because the current Han warriors have a low status and are ashamed of the soldiers, and ordinary soldiers are even more like pigs and dogs in the eyes of the scholars, how can they be willing to let their children join the army as soldiers?

"If you refuse to let your children become soldiers, you can make your children, including Jishi Academy and Jishi Military Academy, just be admitted, and it will be like sending your children to join the army."

Zhu Jishi smiled and said, "But for the children of these landlords and merchants, Jishi Academy has to charge tuition. ”

He also said to Lu Peifang: "Yingshi, the relocation of Jishi Military Academy should be planned as soon as possible, and it will be moved to Changzhou Island immediately after the recovery of Guangzhou, and the Military Academy of Jishi University will also be moved there." In addition, Jishi Academy will also open a Guangzhou branch. You are responsible for all these things, and you need to get them done as soon as possible, and you are the first choice for me to be the secretary of the Ministry of Education in the future. ”

Now Zhu Jishi has not publicly waved the banner of the Ming Dynasty, but the future Ming court is already in the process of being created. The Ming Dynasty to be established did not follow the system of the previous Ming Dynasty, but imitated the model of the governments of Western countries, and did not have the setting of six ministries and nine secretaries -- compared with the modern state, the ownership of the six ministries is somewhat unclear. For example, without the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Commerce, and other departments that are very important to the modern bourgeois state, it is no longer appropriate to reluctantly implement them.

In addition, although the former Ming had the actual first assistant, he did not establish the name of prime minister. At first, it was to limit the power of the prime minister, but it added a lot of unnecessary work to the monarch, and the Ming emperor, who was lax in government affairs, did not implement a de facto cabinet system? Therefore, in the court that Zhu Jishi will establish, the post of prime minister will also be established.

As for the eunuch system that flourished in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Jishi was certainly not prepared to restore it. Although he claimed to have restored his sight, in fact, he was just using this name to restore the mountains and rivers of the Han family in China and establish a modern nation-state. It's not really about moving the equally decadent Ming Dynasty to the 19th century. (To be continued......)
