My Daming New Empire

It is impossible for Zhu Zhanji to do everything himself. He just needs to grasp the overall situation and verify the effect.

Therefore, after Liu Jiang determined the basic strategy with Zhu Zhanji, the first thing was to set up his own executive organization so that his orders could be effectively implemented.

Almost all the thousands of naval generals gathered in the capital were summoned by Liu Jiang and forcibly incorporated into his own organizing committee.

After going through the tests designed by Zhu Zhanji, some generals with excellent executive ability and leadership ability were selected, relieved of their current positions, and directly incorporated into the naval command.

And these people are also from the north to the south, and there are generals from all over the country. They are very familiar with the local situation. With their participation, this kind of restructuring has gradually accelerated.

Zhu Zhanji is very patient. He estimates that it will take four months to sort out all the relationships quickly enough.

The work here was given to Liu Jiang, and Zhu Zhanji was busy with the affairs of the young army these days.

Every autumn and winter, Zhu Zhanji will search for a group of orphans from all over the country, and after several months of trials, they will be incorporated into the young army.

In the past, Zhu Zhanji only selected orphans around the capital for small troubles. He only selected about 120 people every year, and finally ensured that the size of the young army could be controlled at three levels of 600 people.

However, last year's Young Army Jiazi Company was all divided up, and there are only 400 people left. In addition to the pressure from Zhu Di and the military, Zhu Zhanji selected another [-] orphans through Jinyiwei last year.

These 800 people have already saturated the capacity of the young army camp, but now, the nobles will also send their children into the young army, and the size of the young army will become larger.

But now there is no shortage of instructors, because the original B-word company can serve as instructors for two hundred soldiers, and even the soldiers of Bingzi company can also be qualified for some instructor tasks.

Now it is mainly due to the limited space of the training camp. Originally, [-] orphans were added, and the capacity is almost saturated. Now the noble children do not know how many people have signed up.

Fortunately, Xiama Bridge has now entered the construction period. Although it has entered the spring plowing stage, according to an imperial decree, Xiama Bridge can still maintain a construction scale of more than [-] workers every day.

At the same time as building the workshops of ten research institutes, Zhu Zhanji also expanded the dormitories and venues of the Young Army Camp, which is expected to form a scale of 2000 people.

This scale will not be expanded for the time being, and Zhu Di will not allow too many people to master astronomical knowledge before he ascends the throne.Master too many map drawing technologies, because if these technologies are mastered by too many people, they will also pose a threat to Ming Dynasty and the Zhu family's rule.

Also because of these reasons, except for orphans and honored children, Zhu Di strictly demanded that the young army should not be open to ordinary people.

On February [-]th, the roads around Xiamaqiao Farm were congested, and countless carriages were blocked before leaving the city gate.

Countless noble children could only walk to the farm under the leadership of the guards.

Zhu Zhanji originally asked Ji Gang to send a lot of Jinyi guards to check around the performance of these noble children, whether there are any bullying.

But obviously, no matter who they were, they all received stern warnings. Not to mention on the way, even during the selection process of the young army, no one was favored and proud.

Compared with the orphans who have been trained for several months, the selection of these noble children is not strict.

First of all, the hurdle of political review is exempted, and secondly, the entry standard is only to run ten kilometers within an hour over the age of 15, and the requirements can be appropriately reduced for those over the age of ten and under the age of 15.

In today's Daming, one mile is equivalent to 530 meters, one kilometer is 1060 meters, and ten kilometers is only one mile more than later generations.

Even so, there's still a small half left unfinished.They are not malnourished orphans. Most of the people who can come to the selection are wealthy sons with rich clothes and good food. This standard cannot be met, and Zhu Zhanji is determined not to.

And those who were not selected did not dare to make trouble, not to mention Jin Yiwei, who was staring at him like a tiger, just leaving a bad impression in front of the grandson was enough to make them dare not be rampant.

If you don't get selected, the big deal is to go home and continue to be a rich man. When you are old, you can find an errand. If you register with the grandson, your future future will be worrying.

At the end of the noisy day, the young army will add more than 400 people to the T-shaped company. These more than 400 people basically guarantee that every honorable family will be selected, and some families have more than one person.

And these people are controlled by Zhu Zhanji, which can ensure that the interests of the honorable class are tied to him, and they dare not act as a fence.

What Zhu Zhanji can do is to give everyone a chance to compete fairly, and then try not to let them out of his control.

Although the selection is over, they cannot enroll for the time being, because the dormitory in the farm has not been built yet.They are all pampered and well-off families. Unlike the displaced orphans, they naturally cannot sleep more than a dozen people in one room.

Even if the servants who serve them will not be allowed to serve them.You can't treat them too harshly, so at most four people will be arranged in one room, and the corresponding construction volume will be much more.

At this time, the office of the Navy Command was finally built, and Liu Jiang and the others finally had a place to work.

However, according to the custom of Ming Dynasty, the signboard of this naval command is still the Naval Commander's Mansion, and Liu Jiang served as the first Commander-in-Chief of the Navy.

However, the signboard of the Navy Governor's Mansion is not hung above the gate, but only on the right side of the gate, and on the left side, there is also a signboard of the Navy Command.

It can be said that this signboard was specially hung for Zhu Zhanji, because his great-grandson only held the title of naval commander.Although this title is one level higher than that of Navy Commander, it is not an official position in the establishment of Ming Dynasty, and there is no rank.

It is equivalent to setting up a special position for Zhu Zhanji, the grandson.

Some of Zhu Zhanji's ideas are still a bit ahead of his time, because if only the navy has a commander, then does the Five Armies Commander's Mansion also have a commander?

If even the official position of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion is renamed, wouldn't it be equivalent to reorganizing the military officer system of the entire Ming Dynasty?

Therefore, after careful consideration, Zhu Di still did not give the navy a new and different idea. He just regarded the super-class official position of naval commander as a special position for Zhu Zhanji, and it will not be a permanent position in the future.

At the end of February, after the initial chaos in the restructuring of the navy, it finally got on the right track, and Liu Jiang, who had lost ten catties, was finally able to catch his breath.

At this time, besides supervising the procedures, Zhu Zhanji focused his energy on the preparation of the industrial zone.

He only needs to supervise the restructuring of the navy, but the construction of the industrial zone needs his complete guidance.Otherwise, this kind of investment will have the wrong investment direction, or the phenomenon of repeated investment.

However, because Ma Zhicai led a research team that has been testing the maximum power of the waterwheel driven by the Yangtze River, he was able to ignore it and sort out the navy's affairs.

For more than a month, the test waterwheels on the Jiajiang River have attracted many spectators.

Now, almost all the test data have been obtained, and the Ministry of Industry has to start investing a lot of manpower and material resources to conduct preliminary installation tests.

But at this time, no one flocked to Jiajiang to watch the excitement.Because there is a bigger news outbreak than this, that is, the No.1 in the Ming army, the pillar of the country, and the British Duke Zhang Fu is going back to Beijing.

Moreover, he also captured Chen Jikuo, the lord of the Later Chen Kingdom, and most of the ministers of the Later Chen Kingdom.Although Chen Jikuo committed suicide by jumping into the water on the way back to Beijing, this did not stop people from watching the excitement.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The British prince returned to the court according to the order. From the crown prince down, all the officials went out of the city to welcome them at the Yuejianglou wharf.

On the fifth day of March, Zhu Gaochi, who had just recovered a little, rode in a carriage, surrounded by officials, and rushed to Yuejianglou Wharf early in the morning.

Zhang Fu came back from Jiaozhi by boat. If he came back by land, all the ministers would have to go out of the city for at least [-] miles to show how much Zhu Di attached importance to Zhang Fu.

In the Yongle Dynasty, whether it was Liu Sheng who controlled the Shenji Camp, or Mu Sheng who was favored by Zhu Di.They are not as good as Zhang Fu in Zhu Di's heart and in the hearts of Daming Wanmin.

Zhu Zhanji hadn't seen the British Duke Zhang Fu for five years, and he raised his troops many times since he was born, and the British Duke Zhang Fu conquered Annan three times.

Zhang Fu built prefectures and counties before and after Annan and added post delivery transportation, with a very comprehensive plan.The Jiaozhi people were only afraid of Zhang Fu. After Zhang Fu came back for a year, Li Li turned against him again. The court sent other generals to conquer many times, but to no avail.

Wu has Zhang Fu, and Wen has Huang Fu. Only this Wen and Wu can shake the whole of Annan in the whole Ming Dynasty.

At that time, Zhang Fu's boat, which the landscape master of the shogunate had been waiting for in the middle of the night in Yingtianfu, slowly stopped at the Yuejianglou wharf.

Drums and music contended, and all the people shouted together. Although the prince Zhu Gaochi was in poor health, with the support of two servants, he still bowed to the end to welcome Zhang Fu.

Not seen for five years, Zhang Fu, who is 40 years old this year, has not changed much.

He is tall and strong, he doesn't talk and laugh, and has a resolute and majestic personality.In terms of military affairs, he ruled the army and pruned it, standing like a mountain.Cochin was pacified three times, and its reputation spread far and wide overseas.
