Chapter 178: Lu Xiangsheng's Inspection (I)
Chongzhen 10th year in October. Brother Han Zhong, who dares to do anything to them? Now Zheng Jinglun, when he walks into the Chamber of Commerce, who doesn't respectfully call him: "Fourth Master?" ”
Thinking of that wonderful prospect, many people couldn't sit still, and there were more people moving towards Lin Daofu and Qi Tianliang.
With the purchase of cloth and cotton leather, the Shunxiangbao quilt factory is also about to start. The eldest girls and little daughters-in-law, recruited from all over the fort and the state city, used their industrious hands to earn their own rations and wages, and greatly subsidized the family.
At the same time, more than 3,000 young and strong military households selected from the state city and various parts of the territory also gathered in Shunxiang Fort for a period of introduction. The closure of the moon is like a scrape. For these people, it is still the old way, among them, the captain of the army, the captain and other officer leaders. They were selected from the veterans of each general office. The combination of the old and the new can speed up the formation of these young and strong people.
After these people were formed, Wang Dou estimated that he would have a total of more than a dozen troops on hand.
Wang Dou attached great importance to the new army and personally went to Shunxiang Baomian. After the formation is completed, the formal scraping training begins. These new soldiers lived in the newly built barracks outside the fort, and before the training, they had a good life for a few days, with white faces and slow heads, and large pieces of meat, which made them feel like they were in heaven.
But the next harsh practice made them cry and cry for their mother, and they were miserable. Many of the new army are from the state city, and they are more oily than the original Shunxiangbao military households, and they can't stand the suffering, just a few days. Many people started to run away.
However, before the exercise, the instructors had already made it clear that anyone who dared to desert would be severely punished. Not only that, but their families will also suffer. They gave the example of the former Shunxiang Fort Jiaojiu Gao, and also gave the example of the military families whose entire families were expelled from the new state city, and asked these recruits to think about what the consequences would be if they dared to escape?
The first captains and officers in the recruit team also do the ideological work of these people in their spare time, saying that they also came over like this, thinking that "alas. Needless to say, it's finally over. Hearing that the officers are also suffering like this, the new army is much more comfortable, everyone is the same, these old guys can survive, presumably they can too.
After the psychological counseling of the officers, the mood of the recruits gradually stabilized. However, after seeing Baoan Zhou City. Only now that the intensity is greater. Hundreds of thousands of acres of fields were reclaimed in one go, and all the irrigation wells were put on waterwheels, which was refreshing. What's even more difficult is that the local military and civilian life is stable, the state town is very clean, the displaced people have relief, and everyone has a feeling of paradise.
After inspecting all parts of the state city, Wang Dou invited Lu Xiangsheng to rest in the Ethics Mansion, Lu Xiangsheng walked around the meeting hall, seemed to be excited, for a long time, he sighed: "Tuntian drills, Baoan Prefecture has such an effect, Wang Dou, you have done a good job, even the governor is ashamed of himself." ”
Wang Dou was taken aback, Lu Xiangsheng's praise was too heavy, he was about to speak, Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand, and he said, "Wang Dou." There is something unclear about this governor, and if you practice in Tuntian, it must cost you a lot of money and food. How did you raise the funds that might inform the Governor? ”
Lu Xiangsheng is good at governing the army and Tuntian, and he has also achieved good results when he took office, but Lu Xiangsheng is still not satisfied, thinking that he has not achieved what he wants. The main reason is that there is not enough money and food, there is no food, how to train the soldiers, and the soldiers must be full before they can practice, right?
Especially the current Daming battalion soldiers are all soldiers. When he didn't see the food and salary, he didn't move at all, so he had to be persuaded again and again, always excited, and shared weal and woe with his subordinates.
Seeing that Wang Dou's three commanders and horses in the state city were all extremely strong, Lu Xiangsheng could only shake his head and sigh, these guards in the court were not paid, and they needed to be self-sufficient, but Wang Dou could practice like this. Let's not talk about Wang Dou's training ability for the time being. Lu Xiangsheng wanted to know how Wang Dou got the money and food for these soldiers, and he also wanted to learn from them.
