Lord of Ming Dynasty

Eunuch Hui shook his head, "General Li Chengdong of the Qing army has already led an army to break through Xianxia Pass and destroy Hangzhou. He will soon transfer to Fujian to attack the areas under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. The imperial court is dispatching troops and there is no spare force to rescue Jinhua."

Eunuch Hui whispered: "I heard that Lu Jianguo also sent people to ask for help. The Qing army was in Shaoxing after all. Lu Jianguo envoys three times a day, and the court has nothing to do."

Late at night, Zhu Dadian looked at the lilies blooming in the garden and fell into deep thought.

Twenty miles away from Wuyi County, Zhang Qiang and his troops set up camp.

Today I walked another twenty miles.He really wanted to enter Wuyi County's own territory immediately, but there were too many people. Some people who fled along the road, and people from nearby villages also followed his army. The whole army became bloated. Roughly, more than 3000 people joined Zhang Qiang's army Zhiming army team.

Chapter 30 Elite Soldiers Quickly

"My lord, Wuyi County has arrived."

After several days of marching, Zhang Qiang finally arrived at his destination, Wuyi County, with the civilians gathered along the way and the captives who defeated the rebels.

Zhang Qiang saw that the city walls in Wuyi County were low, with the ash peeling off, many wall bricks falling on the ground, many gaps, and a corner missing from the city gates.

"Have you ever checked to see if there are enemy troops stationed inside?" Zhang Qiang said to Hu Kui.

"My lord, the county government has long been unattended. Most of the people in the county have fled. According to some people who are still alive, when the Qing army crossed the border, most of the young and strong were captured or fled. Only the old and weak, women, and children were left behind. The population is about [-] or so."

Zhang Qiang heard, "Forget it, let's go to the city!"

A small 4000 people marched into the city amidst the numb eyes of the old and weak in the county.

Zhang Qiang led the guards directly into the county government office. The county government office is currently the most complete in Wuyi County, and it also seems to be the largest and best place.

As for Zhang Qiang's four subordinates, Zhou Porridge, Hu Kui, Xuanyuan Longfei, Wei Wuji and the others, they brought some selected people from the common people as their subordinates, and searched for the courtyards of big landlords and squires near the four city gates. Stationed and responsible for the defense of the four city gates.

You Haibo took his servants to find the county school as a resident, stationed in the city, and patrolled the streets.

After everything was settled, Zhang Qiang ordered the pro-army to beat the drums and raise the hall, and order the generals.

The four subordinates and You Haibo came to the county government lobby.

None of Zhang Qiang's four subordinates have much experience in governance, and You Haibo is able to manage a big family, which shows that he has some skills, so Zhang Qiang said to You Haibo: "Brother You, we are all vulgar soldiers. You have to take care of everything in the yamen, are you willing?"

You Haibo was excited, stood up tremblingly, bowed his head and bowed, "Beishan You Haibo, Jinhua Juren, thank you for your support and support. The students must do their best to manage the civil affairs of Wuyi County for you."

"Ah, very good."

Zhang Qiang doesn't know why You Haibo changed his mind of not going into politics at this moment, and was bought by himself as a county magistrate, willing to bow down, but now he doesn't have any talents available, so he can only let the "education" in front of him be the highest. The scholars of the Ming Dynasty served as county magistrates.

While stroking the armrest of the yellow rosewood official hat chair with some dust, while looking up at the county government hall, Zhang Qiang said casually:

"As for your servants, you can appoint a trusted confidant to lead them. Who do you think is your confidant who can lead those servants?"

You Haibo was taken aback, Zhang Qiang smiled, this was obviously Zhang Qiang's temptation to him, to see if he would hand over power and let him be the county magistrate, but he couldn't be allowed to have soldiers in his hands, his servant had a bloody experience in Jinhua Fighting good soldiers, for Zhang Qiang's current state with few elite soldiers, of course Zhang Qiang needs to keep more elite soldiers in his hands.

It took You Haibo a long time to react, perhaps after a complicated inner struggle, he calmly bowed and replied: "Ding Duge, a member of the inner court next to the official, can take on this important task."

Zhang Qiang calmly fiddled with some flags and arrows used by the county magistrate in the hall of the county yamen, without looking at You Haibo, "This person's resume is my way."

Yu Haibo calmly replied:

"This man used to be a guard of hundreds of households in Yulin. Later, he was dissatisfied with the Shangguan and was dissatisfied with the deduction of military pay by the Shangguan, which resulted in the death of his wife and children. In a fit of anger, he injured the Shangguan on a rainy night and fled to the south. Later, he was plagued by illness, exhausted all his money, and had no one to rely on. I was taken back by my housekeeper when I saw him as an upright man, highly skilled in martial arts, brave and good at fighting, so I took him in to recuperate at home and gave him kindness. The rebellion of the army, so that the villain's family property can be preserved."

"Well, just this person, you hand over your servants to this person, and then leave 20 people as yamen servants, then go to find the previous yamen servants, arrest the head, make up 50 people, and open the government office as soon as possible, my army is still waiting You feed."

You Haibo said: "It's my lord."

Zhang Qiang explained some things to other people, and met with Du Ge, the leader of the servants recommended by You Haibo, and comforted one party with kind words. After getting his affirmation and loyalty, he took these people to tour Wuyi County.

First of all, the county government is not small, but run-down and cold, which makes people feel very helpless. The warehouse of the county government is clean enough to run a horse, and there are very few mouse holes.

"Zhou Porridge, move all the materials we brought into the county government warehouse, Youzhi County, and send someone to count and make a book. In addition, your office location, you can study in the county government, and this will be my residence."

"Yes, my lord."

The two answered in unison.

There was calm after the storm, and Zhang Qiang lived a leisurely life in the next few days, running from time to time to look at the surrounding scenery, or to urge the five subordinates, and You Haibo organized the people to repair the city wall.

In the war of the cold weapon era, the city wall is the most important means of defending against the enemy's attack.

Zhang Qiang couldn't help paying attention to this.

In particular, Zhang Qiang's elite force is only more than 200 people, and the other 300 people are all newly recruited Minzhuang.

In the morning, the Minzhuangs were driven out of the barracks by Zhang Qiang and ran around the county seat. In the afternoon, the Minzhuangs were organized to help the common people repair the city walls, houses in the city, and transport supplies. In the evening, they were summoned by five subordinates to give lectures and talk about If you are loyal to Zhang Qiang, you will declare Zhang Qiang's great achievements in Jinhua Mansion.

This is used to gather people's hearts and let them have something to do instead of causing trouble and harming the people like the army of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Zhang Qiang's main energy is to train his pro-army. Each of the 150 pro-army must be trained twice as much. Their training is all day long. Zhang Qiang personally leads the army and raises his gun for at least two hours every afternoon. , Loading, or fighting with some folks with muskets, practicing group tactics, changing squads, obeying orders, charging into battle, and changing formations in front of the enemy. A series of basic training.

After a week of training, Zhang Qiang felt that these soldiers had experienced one major battle, one medium-sized battle, five or six small battles with more than a hundred soldiers, more than a dozen battles to suppress bandits, and capture prisoners. At least one level higher than the regular soldiers of the Ming Dynasty regular soldiers.

Just when Zhang Qiang had just finished training these soldiers the next day, he heard the system sound, "Congratulations, you have learned the coaching skills, your current coaching skills are level one, and you already have the skills to use the soldiers in the headquarters for a week." Time to train the ability to become a qualified Ming regular soldier."

Zhang Qiang was full of joy. Didn't this mean that he could train a group of soldiers to become regular soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in a week?

With such a training speed, no one else can keep up with it.

But Zhang Qiang didn't know how powerful this Ming regular soldier was.

"A regular soldier of the Ming Dynasty?"

"What do you mean?"

The system replied: "These soldiers are more powerful than the guard soldiers like peasants who are randomly called up, and are equivalent to the combat effectiveness of the guard soldiers from hundreds of households in the guard."

"Oh."

Chapter 31 Adapted Forces

"stand at attention"

"take it easy"

"Lean forward - go"

"All disbanded—"

Zhang Qiang turned around, took the towel from the servant next to him, and wiped the sweat off his face.

It's another week.

The [-] musketeers, [-] knives and poker players, and [-] pikemen in the hands of the pro-army have been made even more elite by Zhang Qiang.
