The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Zhu Houzhao happily took the money bag, which contained a full one hundred taels of silver. Of course, he was not doing it for the money, but he felt that he had suffered a loss and wanted to ask for an explanation. In a blink of an eye, he became happy again.

"That idiot Wang Shouren doesn't know how to lead troops. If you appoint me as a deputy instructor, I will help you train. In one month, I'm sure you can beat your father to the point where he begs for mercy!"

After Wang Shouren gave the order, he returned to the barracks and said: "The military order has been issued."

Yan Chengjin looked at Shouren and said, "Bo'an, you are already an adult. You must learn to think for yourself and put the capital camp in order. I ask you, what should you do next?"

Wang Shouren fell into deep thought: "Practice!"

Yan Chengjin shook his head: "It's money."

This trick comes from Wang Shouren's mental training.

Wang Shouren led the troops and never suffered a defeat.

The miraculous thing about him is that he can always be alone, and when he arrives at a place, he can immediately organize an excellent army.

Traffickers and lackeys, chickens and dogs, bandits and robbers, in his hands, they turned into horses that met Bole.

There are no mediocre soldiers in the world, only generals who cannot use soldiers.

The method is to attack the mind.

Yan Chengjin handed the written notice to Wang Shouren with the amount of the moon ring for each camp written on it.

Looking at the military order on the notice, Wang Shouren frowned, turned around and left the barracks.

An hour later, there were twenty carriages parked in the school grounds. The boxes were all full of silver and were guarded by Qianhu himself.

I heard that the newly arrived supervisors were going to receive money. The soldiers of the 12th Regiment Battalion huddled together with their eyes shining brightly, wondering how much money they could receive.

They all stood on tiptoe, eagerly looking at the twenty carts of silver.

"Can the imperial court really send us moon sounds?"

"I have a wife, children, and children at home. If the moon doesn't sound, I won't be able to survive."

"I don't know if these boxes contain silver."

Several soldiers whispered.

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, if you run away for the first time, you will be punished with a hundred rods; if you run away for the second time, you will be hanged directly.

Officers and soldiers can be arrested directly at their place of origin according to their military status. If they escape from the Beijing camp, they will not be able to return to their place of origin. If there is no noble person to take them in, they will have to become refugees.

If it weren't for the fear of the Ming Dynasty's laws, many soldiers would have left the capital camp.

Wang Shouren killed dozens of Qianhu and Baihu, and had already gained authority in the army. Although he was a white-faced scholar, even Qianhu and Baihu were afraid of him.

Xu Jinzhong stepped forward and said uncertainly: "Master Wang, are these silvers going to be distributed?"

"No, open all the boxes!"

Thousands of households opened all the twenty carts of silver and hundreds of boxes.

"The military order from the Lord Supervisor of the Army will be issued on a monthly basis from now on. Three thousand camps, each person has a monthly ring, and four coins of silver. Five military camps, each person has a monthly ring, and half a tael of silver. For the Shenji camp, each person has a monthly ring. , six coins of silver, each person in the camp, four coins of silver!"

The sergeant was in an uproar.

Working as a long-term worker outside, you can earn two taels of silver a month, which is considered high. Now, the minimum three thousand battalion can actually earn 4 taels of silver, twice as much as outside.

If you save for five years, you will have an acre of good farmland.

Among the three battalions, the Shenji battalion, which has never been taken seriously, has the highest moon noise.

However, Wang Shouren's next words shocked them even more.

Wang Shouren said: "The Shenji Battalion has been expanded to 27,000 people. Each battalion will be re-evaluated and selected. Once the regiment and camp are confirmed, the moon ring will be issued immediately."

Thousands of households and hundreds of households were shocked beyond measure.

Real money?

The Fifth Army Battalion was originally the first of the three battalions, including infantry and cavalry. It was divided into the Central Army, Zuo Ye, You Ye, Zuo Sen, and Right Sen. It was called the Five Army.

The special firearms of the Shenji Camp are far smaller than those of the Fifth Army Camp.

Now it will be expanded to 27,000 people!

"But is it your Majesty's imperial order? This matter is too important. I am humble enough to ask the Duke for instructions." Tao Lin, a member of Qianhu in the fifth military camp, looked solemn.

He clearly saw it. Zhu Houzhao entered the barracks with his front legs, and Wang Shouren came out with a notice on his back legs. This order must have been given by the mighty general...

Although there is no customization for the number of troops in the Beijing Camp, the strength of the Fifth Military Camp has always been greater than that of the Shenji Camp. This is an unwritten rule.

Everyone is happy with the money, but don't touch Jingying's customization. No one can afford the blame.

Wang Shouren didn't stop him, but he knew Yan Chengjin's intentions very well.

Tao Lin hurriedly came to Zhang Mao: "My lord, Commander Wang gave an order to expand the Shenji Camp to 27,000 people. I saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entering the camp, and then this order came out."

Even if it expands to 27,000 people, there won't be that many firearms.

Zhang Maolong walked to Yan Chengjin's barracks and shouted: "Your Highness, you can lead troops! There are only 50,000 people now, and you want to expand the Shenji Camp. Do you know how much money it will cost to build firearms?" Now that you have paid out all the military pay from the camp, the Ministry of Industry will not approve the money for making firearms. For such a big matter, you should discuss it with me!"

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a while after being scolded.

Yan Chengjin said: "This order comes from a lower official."

Zhang Mao's old face turned red: "I just made a mistake, please forgive me." After saying that, he said to Yan Chengjin: "Restructuring is not a child's play. There is an extra field camp for no reason, and the Shenji camp is also expanded. Are you? How to think."

There is no need to cultivate the private fields of ministers. Ten thousand people are enough to farm the fields.

"I will report this to Your Majesty," Yan Chengjin said.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, it had gradually entered the era of hot martial arts.

In the mid-Ming Dynasty, firearms were not taken seriously. In the later period, Western firearms were copied and pursued fiercely.

For the sake of caution, there is still a chance to catch up now.

Zeng Jian is familiar with him, so it is not difficult to ask the Ministry of Works to supervise the manufacture of firearms.

"You can do it yourself. Call me when you need it."

He, the general, did not care about it. The power fell to Yan Chengjin, who handed it over to Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren first asked Xu Jinzhong to select 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people to be included in the military farm.

The remaining 50,000 people were re-selected by the thousand households and hundred households to be included in the Shenji Camp.

Fengtian Hall,

Emperor Hongzhi wrote the invitation letter in his own handwriting and sent it out immediately, inviting envoys from various countries to come to the capital to watch the ceremony, even the Tatars were invited.

Emperor Hongzhi said to Mou Bin, "How is the training of the Beijing Camp going?"

Mou Bin looked embarrassed: "Your Majesty, the Beijing Camp has not started training yet."

Emperor Hongzhi's face froze: "Why haven't you trained yet?"

"Yan Chengjin changed the number of the Shenji Camp to 27,000, and the remaining five military camps and 3,000 will be allocated separately."

The faces of Li Dongyang and others also froze.

When he heard that Yan Chengjin expanded the Shenji Camp to 27,000 people and paid all the military salaries, Emperor Hongzhi frowned and said, "Let Yan Chengjin enter the palace."

Yan Chengjin had just returned to the capital from the Beijing Camp. Before he returned to his mansion, he was intercepted by the Jinyiwei halfway and quickly came to the Fengtian Palace.

Emperor Hongzhi said, "Do you know that I have already sent out the invitation letter, and the envoys from various countries will arrive in the capital within a month?"

Yan Chengjin blinked his eyes and said, "Of course I know. Now everything is ready, except for one thing."

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes and said, "What?"

Yan Chengjin stared at Emperor Hongzhi's face and said two words, "Silver."
