Ming Zuo

Chapter 58 Military System
"The land here is better than our village. It would be a pity if it was used as a barracks."

Old Qin Tou has cultivated the land all his life. He heard that Zuo Menggeng wanted to use Zhuangzi from Feng Yuanwai as a military camp, and he was very distressed when he saw the good land.

When he said this, the big guy was also a little confused.

Because what Old Qin Tou said was right.

In these years, the land is really too precious, it is the thing of life.

Zuo Dai was originally behind, but after hesitating for a while, he came up to speak.

"Master, why don't we let all the farmers in our family move here? In the spring of next year, we will plant the land here. The farmer in our family will be used as a barracks?"

"Ok?"

Zuo Menggeng was moved when he was told.

Compared with Zhuangzi of Feng Yuanwai, the land of the Zuo family can be called barren.

Not to mention desertification, there is no irrigation.

Even if the weather is good and rainy next year, it is uncertain how many crops will be grown.

The more Zuo Menggeng thought about it, the more reasonable it became. He said to the old Qintou: "If everyone can come over, is it feasible to plant the land here?"

Old Qin Tou kept clapping his hands in excitement.

"Oh, that's a good feeling. Next year's rent, the big guy will definitely be able to hand in it."

He had long been attracted to the land here, but he didn't dare to talk about the main house.At this time, Zuo Menggeng opened his mouth, and he played a trick and used the renter to finalize the matter.

As everyone knows, in Zuo Menggeng's eyes now, how can he care about that little rent?

Since this method was feasible, without wasting land, Zuo Menggeng immediately decided.

"That's it, go back and talk to the big guy, and move in today."

The Zhuangzi on Feng Yuanwai's side has a ready-made residence, and it is far better than the Zuojia Zhuangzi.

Change the house to live in, change the land to plant, and the farmers must be very happy.

But Old Qintou didn't act immediately, looking at the ground under his feet, showing an embarrassed look.

"Master, it's good to plant the land here, that is..."

"What's the problem, you say it."

Old Qin stomped his foot and said helplessly: "It's just that we don't have enough people in Zhuangzi. There are so many fields, we can't finish them all."

In the past, there were more people and less land, and it was impossible to feed the population.But now it's better, there is more land, and no one can make it.

It turned out to be this, Zuo Menggeng laughed instead.

"You don't have to worry about people's problems. There is as much as you want. Besides, the Zhuangzi here will definitely have a piece of land. I will be of great use."

After the problem was solved smoothly, the old Qintou happily ran back and called the villagers to talk about the matter. The big guy couldn't wait even more, and started to move on the spot.

Zuo Menggeng didn't take care of it, but let the old Qin head personally take charge.

This old man has a high prestige in Zhuangzi, and everyone obeys him. It is too easy to do such a thing.

He sent someone to the pier and called Zhang Yan back.

It happened that everyone was there, so the first military meeting of Houying was held through Feng Yuanwai's house.

"All sit down."

Huang Zongxi, Zhou You, Liu Yiyuan, and Zhang Haogu sat according to their words, while the wealthy and wealthy, the eternal enjoyment of generations and Zhang Yan stood aside, as if they had never heard of it.

Zuo Menggeng set up the desk, and when he looked back, he frowned.

"Didn't I tell you to sit down?"

Zuo Rong hurriedly said: "Masters discussing matters, how can there be a reason for our servants to sit?"

Zhang Yan also said, "I'm a farmer, but I don't dare to sit with the nobles."

Zuo Menggeng slapped the table on the spot, and the loud noise startled everyone.

"This is a military camp, and when you enter here, you are soldiers. From now on, whoever dares to call themselves a servant or a servant will be severely punished."

This frightened them so much that they had to look for a stool, and sitting on their buttocks was dishonest.

Zuo Menggeng calmed down a little, and said again: "Our army is a rookie, everything is empty. I only have your hands, what can I do? Of course, I will use it. From now on, you will be officers."

Zuo Xiang is the youngest and most afraid.

"We are all family sons, so it's enough to be a personal soldier for the young master."

Zuo Menggeng didn't get angry, but said: "You can't be a general if you have children in your family? Have you met Zu Kuan, the chief soldier? He used to be a servant, but isn't he a hero now? Forget your origins and take out your Your ability. In the future, whether you will be a prince and a general, or continue to be a servant, depends only on your ambitions."

Ronghua Fugui, Generation Yongxiang and Zhang Yanquan were all said to be hot in their hearts, and finally put down their worries and sat together with Huang Zongxi and others.

Zuo Menggeng stood behind the desk and began to tell everyone about the idea.

"Our rear battalion is different from the general official army, so some changes should be made in the military system."

Everyone woke up and knew that this matter was very important.

Huang Zongxi, Zhou You, and Liu Yiyuan even took out a pen and paper and prepared to record.

Zuo Menggeng let them do it and started to conceive directly.

"First of all, set up a battalion headquarters to uniformly handle and lead the affairs of the whole army."

For other battalions, there is no statement from the battalion headquarters.Basically, it's a decision made by the general manager. If you can have a document, it is a top match.

The back camp is different.

Although they belong to one of the five battalions of the Linqing Association, everyone knows that the sergeant general cannot control the rear battalion.In the same way, the benefits that belong to the rear camp cannot be obtained.

All military resources and military affairs must be tested and solved by themselves.

This requires a qualified center to be responsible for all this.

Zuo Menggeng continued.

"There is a thousand generals in the battalion headquarters, and I will be in charge of all the affairs of the army."

This is what it should be, and everyone agrees.

"Set up a deputy chief to assist the thousand chiefs in combat, and Liu Yiyuan will be the one."

Liu Yiyuan looked happy, stood up and responded.

He yearned for the battle, like the champion Hou, in the history.

"The Department of Military Affairs is set up to be in charge of the entire army's documents, rosters, officer promotions, military merit awards and punishments, and director Huang Zongxi."

Huang Zongxi was also very happy.

He is a literati through and through, and he is not good at fighting, and he is good at playing with a pen.

"Establish the Intelligence Division to be responsible for internal and external intelligence and public opinion, assist the entire army in combat, and be directly responsible to General Qiang. Chief Zuo Fu."

Zuo Fu was taken aback for a moment, he did not expect to be entrusted with such an important task.

And he still has some questions.

"Master..."

"Calling a military rank."

"Qianzao, does the Intelligence Department have the power to torture and imprison?"

This time, everyone's color changed.

If the Intelligence Department has these two powers, it would be Jin Yiwei.

Regarding this, Zuo Menggeng was also very helpless.Blinking his eyes, he said, "No."

Zuo Fu understood and sat back to his original position.

It is impossible for intelligence agencies not to carry out torture, otherwise, it is often impossible to obtain useful information.But this cannot be normalized, otherwise it will interfere with normal justice.

This was the case with Jin Yiwei in the Ming Dynasty. As a result, the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Court of Justice were often just like decorations.

Zuo Menggeng would not allow a deformed department like Jinyiwei to appear, but he couldn't restrain the intelligence department's hands and feet, so he came up with a method of disapproving on the surface and acquiescing in secret.

However, he said that he disagreed in person, and everyone else showed their faces and felt relieved.

"The staff department is set up to be in charge of the entire army's operational planning and to guide the entire army's operational deployment. The director is concurrently held by me, and the deputy director is Liu Yiyuan."

A qualified army must have a staff system.

But people in this era simply don't understand what a staff system is.Therefore, Zuo Menggeng could only take the lead and let Liu Yiyuan assist.

"There is a military and political department in charge of recruiting and training. The director is Zhouyou."

This department is a collection of recruiting offices and training departments, and it is of little use for the time being.But if the army expands in the future, the work will be arduous.

I have traveled around Liaodong, and I have seen what the battlefield looks like.

Although he has never fought personally, he has more experience than others, and training soldiers is not a novice.

"The Department of Equipment and Equipment is responsible for the manufacture and supply of weapons for the entire army. I will serve as the director."

Zuo Menggeng took another post.

There is really no way, now they are all the people, and he is the only one who knows how to make weapons.

Entrepreneurship is difficult, and he has to work hard.

In this way, the battalion headquarters has five departments: the Military Affairs Department, the Intelligence Department, the Staff Department, the Military and Political Department, and the Equipment Department.

These are just frames, the bottom is all empty.

It also needs Zuo Menggeng to work with the heads of various departments to build it slowly.

But the big guy's mind is not on this.

The various armies under the battalion headquarters, that is the actual combat power, is also the most attractive.

In the army, who doesn't want to lead the troops in person and fight happily!
For a time, everyone's eyes turned to Zuo Menggeng, eagerly waiting for him to announce the following military system.
