More than a month has passed.

The matter of dismantling the army of the guard post has progressed very smoothly, and achievements have been made in all matters.

Su Tiancheng is most satisfied with the fact that the cultivated land can be smoothly divided, and all the food is planted, which does not need to be supervised, everyone knows that only when food is grown, can there be food, and can we maintain a life, not to mention that these official fields are distributed to individuals, and the grain produced belongs to individuals after paying taxes.

In the past, the taxes of the official fields were owned by the army of the guards, but now the taxes are directly paid to the local government, which increases the income of the government to a certain extent.

All the officers of the guard station were concentrated in Xianyang, entered the barracks of the Jiangning battalion, and began a three-month training, training qualified officers, who could stay, and those who did not qualified, all went home, which also stimulated the struggle of the officers to the greatest extent, and no one wanted to be treated as waste and bad seeds in the training process, and was eliminated.

The problem still exists.

Zhu Xianxuan and Hong Chengchou came to Xianyang, this time, they encountered a very real problem, which is also a problem they have always been a little puzzled about, that is, how to build an invincible army, at least this army must dare to fight, dare to fight with the Liukou Tartars.

Among the border army and the guard army, the 30,000 people selected are in good physical condition, but they lack the most fundamental things, that is, spirit and morale, which is the key problem.

Many of these 30,000 sergeants were the personal soldiers of former officers. The military salary can be guaranteed, and the quality is also good, but they seem to be at a loss, re-entering the army, and they don't know what to do.

If this problem cannot be solved, it will be impossible to build a strong army.

Xu Eryi also came to Xianyang. He also knew this problem, the success of the Jiangning battalion should not be accidental, in addition to the guarantee of military salaries, it should be due to other reasons.

Governor's Yamen.

Xu Eryi, Zhu Xianxuan, Hong Chengchou, Tan Zongliang and others all sat on the side.

The relevant situation has been said, including the punishment of some scum in the army, for more than a month. Zhu Xianxuan used Shang Fang's sword to kill more than 100 evil sergeants, which caused a great shock in the army and among the common people, and the previous behaviors of harassing the people seemed to disappear overnight.

Everyone looked at Su Tiancheng to see what way Su Tiancheng could think of, how to form an army no less than the Jiangning battalion.

Su Tiancheng looked at everyone. He spoke.

"I won't talk about anything else, but the focus is now. How to form a fighting army, 30,000 sergeants, is not a small number, if there is no morale, no spirit, it is equivalent to a flock of sheep. Our dismantling of the garrison is a failure. ”

"You must be thinking about how Jiang Ningying can succeed, what is the trick, in fact, here. There isn't much of a trick up the sleeve. ”

"An army, the most important military soul and honor, soldiers must have the honor of soldiers, they must understand what they want to become sergeants, what things they must do, even if they lose their lives, they must maintain, only when they understand this, they will kill the enemy desperately, and they will not retreat when they die."

"The military soul of the Jiangning battalion, I won't say much, in the army, everyone is brothers, take care of each other, although there may be contradictions and frictions in getting along on weekdays, but on the battlefield, everyone is brothers in life and death, iron-blooded brothers, and they can trust each other with their lives, no matter how difficult they are, they must also take care of each other."

"Breathe and care, itch related, go to the fire together, go to the soup together, raise a glass to make merit, defeat is to save each other, this is the belief that the Jiangning battalion has always adhered to, on the battlefield, the sword is ruthless, the soldiers will be injured, will be disabled, will lose their lives, do not abandon and do not give up, it is particularly important, the soldiers go out to fight together, they must come back together, do not abandon any brother, no matter how difficult the situation is, whether he is alive or donated."

"The most important question, our soldiers, for what to fight, for what to sacrifice their lives, this question, it is simple to say, but let all the soldiers understand, it is not a simple matter, from a large aspect, it is to be loyal to the emperor, to protect the stability of our Ming Dynasty, to show the might of our Ming Dynasty, anyone who violates our Ming Dynasty, although far away will be punished, from a small aspect, it is to protect ourselves, to protect our Ming Dynasty billions of people, among these people, there are our soldiers' parents, brothers, wives and children, Whether their lives are stable or not depends on our soldiers. ”

"To form a new army, these principles must be carried out, and all sergeants must understand that their duty is sacred, and that they have sacrificed their lives in battle to protect the country and the stability of the people, and they will go down in history."

"All soldiers, whether they are officers or sergeants, must be registered, who has donated their lives, must be recorded in detail, who is injured and disabled, must be taken care of, so that they have no worries, their deeds, to vigorously publicize, so that the people understand that a peaceful life comes from the dedication of soldiers."

"The honor of soldiers is supreme, and it is necessary to change the previous understanding, so that soldiers can become the embodiment of honor, become the object of respect of everyone, and become the object of reverence of the people." ……

The hall was unusually quiet, no one spoke, these truths are very simple, but they are wise sayings, as long as the sergeant understands these truths and keeps them in his heart, how can he not fight hard.

Su Tiancheng's words were written into the fold by Xu Eryi and sent to the capital as quickly as possible.

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the twists, Wen Tiren, Sun Chengzong, Yang Sichang and others were also in the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Sun Aiqing, what do you think of Su Tiancheng's words?"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if Lord Su's words can really penetrate into the hearts of the sergeants, this army must be a brave and invincible army, the army is precious in the soul of the army, in addition to the guarantee of military salaries, but also have morale and faith, Lord Su is well versed in the truth, the minister finally understands, what is so brave and good at fighting for the Jiangning battalion, the minister believes that according to this method, the re-establishment of the border army in Shaanxi will definitely produce the best effect."

Zhu Youzhen nodded slightly and looked at Wen Tiren.

Wen Tiren has been in a bad mood recently, and there are some problems in his body.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Lord Sun said is that according to this method, the re-establishment of the army will definitely be able to completely exterminate the Liukou and defeat the ...... of the Houjin Tartars."

There was not much expression on Zhu Youzhen's face, once upon a time, Wen Tiren supported many impeachments in the imperial court, especially against Zhu Xianxuan's participation in the dismantling of the guard's army, and his rhetoric was also very fierce.

"Yang Aiqing, what do you think?"

Yang Sichang looked up.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the experience of Shaanxi's dismantling of the guard army is worth a good summary, in my Ming Dynasty provinces, North Zhili and South Zhili, fully rolled out, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has made a great contribution this time, the minister suggested, if the matter of the dismantling of the army of the guard is fully rolled out, His Royal Highness the King of Jin can be fully responsible for the ......"

Zhu Youzhen was indeed happy, originally thought that Shaanxi would dismantle the army of the guard station, and he might encounter a lot of trouble, but he didn't expect that it had been almost two months, and there was nothing to do, Xu Eryi, who had been sitting in Shaanxi, had twists and turns every day, and reported in detail all the matters concerning the dismantling of the army of the guard station, and when he saw Zhu Xianxuan kill those guards who did all kinds of evil, Zhu Youzhen was also very happy, these scum should have been killed a long time ago.

According to the method that Su Tiancheng and Zhu Xianxuan came up with, the army of the Shaanxi Guard Station was abolished, and the army of 300,000 people was condensed to 30,000, and the combat effectiveness was greatly improved, which was enough to protect the safety of Shaanxi and the border towns, and the expenses of the imperial court would also be greatly reduced.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I see, Shaanxi's dismantling of the army, it is worth summing up, especially the dismantling of the army of the guard, combined with the construction of the local inspection department, to find a way out for the sergeants, to stabilize the place, this is a very good practice, so far, Shaanxi is very stable, and there is no liukou and Houjin Tartars, taking the opportunity to make trouble, such a method, must be well summarized, as for Yang Aiqing's suggestion, spread out the matter of dismantling the army of the guard post across the country, you can consider, Yang Aiqing, you will go to Shaanxi, Together with Xu Aiqing, pay close attention to the dismantling of the army in Shaanxi, focus on the officers in the Xianyang training camp, and see if there is any change in them. ”

"Sun Aiqing, I still have to work on you, think about it more, if I start to dismantle the army in the Ming Dynasty, what are the things that need to be paid attention to, the situation is different in different places, and we must be cautious."

"As for the arrangement of Zhu Xianxuan, the king of Jin, I think we still have to wait for a while, the matter of dismantling the army of the guard in Shaanxi has not yet ended, and I still need to see the effect."

This arrangement, as in the past, the first assistant of the cabinet, Wen Tiren, still has not much to do, or there is nothing to do, in fact, the cabinet has begun to change, many things, Sun Chengzong is making ideas, and the emperor is also asking Sun Chengzong's opinion, and there are not many places for him to speak.

Wen Tiren is a little unwilling, but there is no way, his age is not young, in the cabinet for so many years, as the first assistant of the cabinet is also six years, there is no merit and hard work, but unfortunately the emperor does not look at these, in the past few years, the situation in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, there is no fundamental improvement, but the rise of Jiangning County and Henan Mansion has solved many difficulties faced by the imperial court, and the imperial court and Mongolia have begun to trade with each other, and the income of the imperial court will definitely increase significantly.

All of this is the credit of Su Tiancheng, Sun Chengzong is resolutely supporting Su Tiancheng, from this point of view, he wants to be interesting, and he has to submit his resignation as soon as possible, and the emperor's favorite candidate for the first assistant to the cabinet has long been Sun Chengzong.
