Yang Gengai explained with a smile the use of one-third of the military salary, and everyone suddenly realized that the emperor was painstaking.

"You are going to Shaanxi to replenish grain, grass, materials, ordnance, gunpowder, etc., I thought about it and decided that the consumption of ordnance, gunpowder and other materials will be completely supplied by the palace to ensure the quality of your ordnance and firearms, how much is needed, you report it, I will transfer it from the palace, grain, grass, miscellaneous use, etc., some of them will be carried with the army, and some of them will be purchased on the spot, or they will entrust the merchant to supply the army, let the merchant transport certain materials to a certain place in a certain month, and then issue a bill for the merchant to go to the headquarters of the new army to redeem it, so that it will not make your materials shortage." Yang reformed and laid out the specific details of his logistics.

Bi Zisu, Wu Sangui and other people on the platform didn't understand what the emperor meant.

"Your Majesty, the supply of food and materials, I have always been responsible for the local government to raise and support the army, this time, why is it all covered by Your Majesty? Listening to His Majesty's meaning, it seems that the supply of grain, grass, materials, etc., of the new army does not depend on the local government? In this way, the consumption of the new army will be great! Bi Zisu asked very puzzled, if all the money is paid by the emperor, then the cost is too big, the cost is frighteningly high, if the ordnance and gunpowder are supplied by the palace, in order to ensure the quality, he can understand this, but the grain and grass are also directly supplied by the emperor, he doesn't understand, why not take the road of the local government?

"Hehe, I know that such expenses must be very expensive, but I can't bear to put these burdens on the people of Shaanxi! I am also saving local people's power! If these thousands of people go to the place, if they rely on the place to eat and replenish supplies, the place will definitely be miserable, and it will definitely not be able to support it, my original intention is to go to disaster relief, to quell the rebellion, if the supply of new army materials causes the place to suffer more, and there will be more rebellion, is what I think? Isn't that the opposite of my purpose? Therefore, even if the cost is high, I still pay for it myself, and it really reduces the burden on the local area! Yang Reform said, in fact, there is one that has not been said, that is, the treatment and supply of the guest army in the Ming Dynasty has never been good, the guest army is the general name of the army outside their own station, for example, Zhejiang, Sichuan transferred to support the Jinning defense line outside the Guan, these soldiers, all belong to the guest army, food, drink, with all rely on the local government to support, the local government's capacity is limited, how can it be completely satisfied? Therefore, the treatment of the guest army is very bad, which also leads to the low combat effectiveness of the guest army, the most famous is that when Chongzhen first ordered King Qin, many troops went halfway, because the local people could not afford the consumption of the guest army, which led to the large-scale collapse of the guest army, which was really a wretch. Yang Reform now doesn't want to have the kind of situation of breaking up halfway, even if it is expensive to fight, he has to grit his teeth and stand up.

After listening to the emperor's explanation, everyone admired the emperor's "benevolence", "fraternity" and "love for the people".

"The minister understands, Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty's benevolent heart, brilliant as the sky......" Bi Zisu likes the emperor's approach of not spending a grain or a penny in a place, he is the governor of Shaanxi, and he does not have to carry the burden of 5,000 people to supply, he naturally likes it.

For Bi Zisu's praise, Yang Gai smiled and smiled.

"Bi Aiqing, you go, I will give you 100,000 silver coins as your expenses for taking office, those officers and soldiers who have meritorious combat and effective defense, those who are serious in their work, willing to think about the people, and cooperate with immigrants for disaster relief, you will be rewarded with those who should be rewarded, I will give you these 100,000 silver coins, you will have plenty of money, and you will not be stretched, and I will be responsible for the expenses and salaries of the new army, and you don't need to worry about it......" Yang Reform said almost, and began the final money.

"I understand." Although Bi Zisu was a little dissatisfied with the emperor's practice of not passing through his hands for the army's money, he didn't say it, this new army is the emperor's pro-army, and the treatment of the pro-army has always been different, and it is understandable that the emperor wants to send money himself, but fortunately, he still has 100,000 silver coins in his hand, which is not a small gain, and he has the confidence to serve as the governor of Shaanxi this time.

"Wu Sangui, when your new army went to Shaanxi, military salaries, food salaries, material distribution, supplements, etc., what was it like in the new army before, and what is it still like when you arrive in Shaanxi, military salaries, food salaries, materials, and supplements do not go through the hands of others, understand? When you get to the place, don't disturb or disturb the place, if you need something, you can buy it with your own money, don't force it, the military discipline of the new army is what I value the most, understand? If the military discipline is broken, don't say that I don't spare people. After all, it is the debut of the New Army, and Yang Reform tirelessly explained this and that, repeatedly emphasizing military discipline.

"Trainee understands." A few hairy young men said in a loud voice, "Okay! My tomorrow, my hopes, are pinned on you, you are the representatives of the new army, representing the first battle of the new army, this battle, only victory, not defeat. If you win, it will be my new army, if you lose, don't come back to see me, I can't afford to lose that person......" Yang Reform agitated again, and cheered up Wu Sangui and a few people. After all, it's a bunch of underage children! Yang Reform has never been at ease, of course, Yang Reform himself has just turned eighteen years old.

"Only win, not defeat, the students understand." Several young men happily assured the emperor that they would not fail.

"Okay......, what should be said, I've said pretty much, you all go back and prepare, after three days, it's the time to send troops, these days, you can discuss more, get in touch, and be more familiar with it."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Bi Zisu, Wu Sangui and several others responded in unison.

…… Everyone left, and Yang Reform only left Sun Chengzong. I am going to talk to Sun Chengzong about art and military affairs again.

"Master Sun, what do you think of my arrangement this time?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty's Staff Committee can be described as a must, this move can solve the embarrassment that our dynasty must be led by literati, and the person who leads the troops does not understand military politics! As long as the new army is in order, there will be no major problems, and it can be said that it will be easy to exterminate some rebels and popular uprisings. Sun Chengzong commented.

"Hehe, does Master Sun also think this staff system is very good?" Yang asked "modestly".

"Yes, Your Majesty, the disadvantage of the literati leading the army in my dynasty is that the literati do not know the soldiers, if there is a staff group that can provide advice, the disadvantages of the literati leading the army can be solved, this move is the gospel of my court! In the future, a big defeat like Salhu's should be avoided. Sun Chengzong said with a smile.

"Hehe, Master Sun, about the staff group, please ask Master Sun to take more care and select some outstanding students to serve as the staff team." Yang Gengai was a little proud, and smiled "happily".

"Your Majesty rest assured, naturally there is no problem." Sun Chengzong happily agreed.

"I intend to make the General Staff Department bigger and stronger, and become a permanent department to assist the military and political affairs of our DPRK, but the staff system has no achievements now, let alone experience to follow, so I don't plan to launch it immediately, and when Wu Sangui and they have gained experience in using the Staff Corps in Shaanxi, and with their achievements, it should be much easier to launch it again. When the time comes, Master Sun, the head of the General Staff, will be worthy of the name! I fought in the future, even if the literati led the army, it would not be a mess. Yang Reform saw that there was no one, so he talked to Sun Chengzong about his heart, talked about his heart's plans, and others that can never be said, which is also Yang Reform's means to relax himself, and confide his thoughts to a reliable person, which helps to relieve pressure.

Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, if you want the Staff Department to become a permanent yamen, as Your Majesty said, if you don't have a record of war and have no experience, you really can't make a big deal about it. The minister felt that there was no problem with His Majesty's approach. Sun Chengzong gave the emperor an affirmative reply.

Yang Gengai breathed a sigh of relief, Sun Chengzong did not raise any objections to his approach, and said: "Regarding the logistics of the new army, what does Master Sun think?" The shortcomings of our guest army are not small, if it is said that it will all rely on the local government to support the expenses of the army, it is very unrealistic, once the number of guest troops exceeds the upper limit of local supply, the guest army has traveled a long distance, and has not eaten or drunk, I am afraid that before it has not been on the battlefield, it will dissipate by itself! Yang reform has also heard a lot of history, due to the lack of logistics system in history, the guest army went to the halfway to disperse, disappeared is not a few, the most typical is Chongzhen two years, Chongzhen after the edict of the king, the officers and soldiers around the country struggled to rescue, this is a good heart, can be described as a fist, unfortunately, no one told Chongzhen in advance, there should be a detailed calculation, should allocate materials in advance. Chongzhen ordered King Qin, and there was no department responsible for the coordination, in the end, how much materials and food should be prepared in that place, there was no accurate number, and a swarm of bees came, as a result, the local government had no food supply, and the officials and troops who came to King Qin broke up on their own, and staged a ridiculous picture and a tragic picture, which has to be said to be a very serious system problem.

Sun Chengzong wrinkled his brows, thought for a while, and said: "What Your Majesty said is true, this matter is indeed a tricky matter, and the reason is still a money!" Without silver, the treatment and supplies of this guest army naturally cannot be very good! The local government is also limited in capacity, and it is impossible to support the army without limit! Your Majesty's question is indeed terrible, and I think that once a major accident occurs in the future, I have to prevent it! ”

Both of them were silent for a while, and Yang Reform said again: "The logistics system I have implemented for the new army now can avoid all kinds of troubles and drawbacks of the guest army, but the expenditure is really huge!" I'm struggling too...... Master Sun is right, it's just one word, money! Yang Reform said with emotion, without money, you can't do anything!

Sun Chengzong is even more silent, if he wants to talk about the military, he can talk about it, but if he wants to talk about making money, Sun Chengzong can only look up to the mountains in the face of His Majesty the Emperor today! He tilted his head and straightened his neck to look at the emperor. Huang Yanjing said that it was difficult to get money, and he didn't have to open his mouth.

"Alas...... The logistics of the new army, Master Sun first managed, to see what needs to be improved, to improve, those that need to be added, just add, be sure to get a feasible system first, after the expedition outside the pass, even Korea, the Japanese country, there is a feasible system to rely on, when the time comes, not blind, everything is based on the premise of ensuring the combat effectiveness of the new army, I will pay the money...... "The new logistics system must be introduced, the Ming Dynasty's method of relying on local support for the army, in the country, the limited number is okay, Too much will inevitably lead to their own collapse, it is really a drawback that must be reformed, Yang Reform sighed, there is no other way, just one word, money.

"The minister commands." Sun Chengzong agreed to come down.

…… Sun Chengzong also left.

Yang Gai stood alone in the platform, looking at the huge sand table in a daze.

After half a ring, he said, "Big companion? ”

"The slave is here." Wang Chengen hurriedly came over to wait.

"How much money do I have in my inner pockets now?" When Yang reformed the arrangement of the Shaanxi military, he spent money very happily, and as soon as he made a move, he gave Bi Zisu 100,000 silver coins, and the supply of the new army was even more open, and he didn't even need local supplies.

Yang Reform has only one feeling, that is, he has spent money recently is really powerful, like opening the floodgates and releasing water, this army moves, what he wants is silver, the new army of 5,000 people goes to war, and the expenses of a month have to be tens of thousands of taels, Yang Reform thinks of all kinds of expenses that need to be spent on a monthly basis, and he feels a headache, Mao Wenlong needs to spend on a monthly basis, a few days ago, Yuan Chonghuan is the same, not to mention the new army, and the troops who are called into the Beijing Gongwei Beijing Division are even more so, not to mention the special agencies of Jinyiwei, It's all a hole in spending money, and now this new army is fighting, like a big hole in monthly expenditures, Yang Reform faced these holes, suddenly, a little frightened, this unconsciously, his monthly expenses, has reached a terrifying point, these "things" that he cut up to save his life, and now it is also a thing that wants his own life, that day is short of their silver, these things, is a bloodthirsty beast, will turn his head and devour himself.

Emperor Salary! Mortgage Emperor! Yang Reform unconsciously sighed in his heart, mortgage, mortgage, uncover the skin on time! That's right, I peeled off the skin on my body that day.

Where to get the silver? A big question mark was on Yang Reform's brain.

"Back to Your Majesty, there are about more than one million dollars of silver in the inner treasury...... Wang Chengen, as the emperor's chief butler, knows the emperor's money well, and now he doesn't dare to tell the emperor how much silver is in the inner treasury, if he tells the truth, Wang Chengen is afraid that the emperor will not be able to sleep for this, so he vaguely used more than one million.

…… on the steppes of the north.

Lin Dan Khan and the coalition led by the wild boar skin are fighting inextricably, Lin Dan Khan lost too much, so he asked his ally Ming Dynasty for help, asking for silver, give things, some time ago, the Ming Dynasty either directly refused, or on the grounds that the court was still discussing, sent him away, this time it was different, the news came, a Ming Dynasty emperor's contact envoy said that the queen would be responsible for his contact, and stationed outside the customs, the Ming Dynasty said that the things after the Ming Dynasty would be given to him through this person's hands.

Lin Dan Khan got the news that the Ming Dynasty would vigorously support him this time, but everything had to be in the hands of that person, and that person even sent a message to himself, saying that he would meet him on the bank of the Xiaoling River outside Jinning City, and talk to him about something on behalf of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Lin Dan Khan couldn't eat the idea of the Ming Dynasty, he felt strange, he used to ask for things, and the Ming Dynasty was very grinding, this time a liaison envoy suddenly came out, specifically responsible for this matter, Lin Dan Khan thought about it all night, and the war was tight! He urgently needs to be supplemented, and now the only person who can supplement him is the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty is willing to continue to cooperate with him, which is also good news in any case, not to mention that it is said that the Ming Dynasty will be very generous this time, that person is said to represent the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and talk to him as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and want him to go to Xiaoling River, which is not too much. However, it was the territory of the Ming Dynasty............ Liaodong, Jinning City, on the bank of the Xiaoling River, Liu Jishan, the liaison envoy, spread out the scene and was waiting for someone.

He was waiting for Lin Dan Khan.

The emperor gave him the mission of contacting Lin Dan Khan, and when he was in the capital, he planned to start it, first through the fast horse, to deliver the news to Lin Dan Khan.

Now, he is following the emperor's instructions to meet Lin Dan Khan in Jinzhou, and he wants to unite with Lin Dan Khan to deal with the coalition forces of the Eastern Captives and the Mongol right wing.

Today's hour, it is not early, looking at the sun has passed noon, Liu Jishan sat alone under the tent, looking at the northwest, waiting for Lin Dan Khan.

Yesterday, I received news that Lin Dan Khan would arrive today. However, today's day is about to pass, and Lin Dan Khan has no shadow.

Liu Jishan drank tea without hurry. Behind him, is the Xiaoling River, now it is June, the river is high, just enough to sail, he will transport the supplies directly from the Xiaoling River, according to the emperor said, can only take the waterway.

A cloud of smoke rose in the distance. It seems to be a lot of people.

Liu Jishan put down the teacup in his hand. He stood up, looked at it, was silent, sat down again, and continued to drink tea.

In a few moments, the smoke and dust in the distance were within reach. In the distance, there were Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers to intercept them, and the two sides talked with each other for a while, checked some things, and then, the team of smoke and dust, led the men and horses, to Liu Jishan.

It was the Mongols who came, and it seemed that they were not small, and they were dressed luxuriously.
