Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 217 Chengdu Military School
The New Year is approaching, and the city of Chengdu is more prosperous than ever.

Suddenly there was the sound of gongs and drums in the distance, and I saw groups of imperial guards rushing forward, shouting "Guardians go out, idlers stay away" and clean the streets.

These Yulin soldiers are all from the Huben camp, wearing bright plate armor as bright as a mirror, wearing general helmets, holding swords and shields, and carrying bows and arrows on their backs. They are all powerful soldiers in the new army.

As soon as they appeared, they didn't need to be vicious, and they didn't need to do anything. They only yelled a few times, and the people all backed away.

Because Auntie Zhu went out of the city quite a lot, the people in Chengdu were already used to cleaning the streets.

It's natural for Jingjie to affect people's lives, but Zhu Yuxi mostly rides horses when she goes out of the city, each time is very fast, so it won't affect it for a long time.

As a monarch, unless Zhu Wei travels in disguise, if she travels normally, it is not allowed to clean the streets.

One is easy to be assassinated, and the other is easy to be collided by idlers.

This time, because the place to go was not far from the North City Gate, and the weather was cold, Auntie Zhu did not ride a horse, but took a carriage.

When many people saw Auntie Zhu's team coming, they all knelt down and bowed down.

Some are due to habit, but most of them are sincerely grateful to Aimee Zhu.

Because since Auntie Zhu came to Chengdu to serve as the supervisor, the life of the people in Chengdu has obviously gotten better and better.

Especially at the end of the new year, this feeling is even more obvious when compared with previous years.

During the New Year's Eve in previous years, almost every household of the ordinary people lived in a tight situation, and many families were urged to pay off their debts.

In this case, even if you buy new year's goods, you only buy some necessary and ostentatious things and save them for entertainment.

This year is different.

In the past six months, many families inside and outside the city of Chengdu have made money from the work released by the government, Jian Guofu, and Shu Wangfu.

In addition, the government not only did less to oppress the people, but did a lot of practical things for the people, which made the people's life easier.

Not only do many families no longer need to borrow money to live by, but they also have spare money to buy some meat, cloth and other New Year's goods, and have a happy New Year although not abundant.

Although no one is going to publicize it, the common people know that such a good change is brought about by the princess...
Seeing that the carriage was about to leave the city, Aunt Zhu asked Fei Zhen'e to lower the curtains.

Looking back on the six months since she came to Chengdu, she actually didn't care too much about the lives of ordinary people.

It's not that I don't want to, but it's hard to take care of time and energy.

Because in her and Hao Guangming's plan, the top priority is to stop the Qing army from going south, and even drive the Qing army out of the pass.

After that, there will be more time to develop people's livelihood.

As for the improvement in the life of the people in Chengdu in the past six months, it was actually driven by the steel industry, the military industry, and some industries in the Shu Palace, and it was purely a free ride.

If she regards the development of people's livelihood as her main task, the changes in Chengdu in the past six months will only be greater.

···
The team stopped shortly after leaving the East City Gate.

"Your Highness, we are here."

After Fei Zhen'e spoke, she asked the two court ladies to get out of the carriage first, one pulled up the door curtain, and the other led someone to set up the steps.

Auntie Zhu opened her eyes from her doze, she didn't ask Fei Zhen'e to help her, but got off the carriage by herself, her movements were crisp and neat.

In front of her is a building complex mainly composed of simple brick houses. Because cement is used in many places, it looks like a rural school in the 20s and 90s.

It's a pity that Hao Guangming went to the county to pick up the goods again today, and he wasn't in the old house in Zhulin, otherwise he would definitely be moved when he saw this scene through the video on his mobile phone.

In fact, this building complex was originally a school, named "Chengdu Military School".

Aunt Zhu changed the name of the "General Training Camp" to "Chengdu Military School" and placed it here after the Chinese New Year was over.

Then Qin Liangyu was invited to serve as the honorary head of the mountain, and some generals who retired due to old age and disability were hired as teachers to develop it into a modern military school.

However, this "Chengdu Military Academy" will not exist for too long. After a few years or more than ten years, when the time comes, Auntie Zhu will reorganize it into a more formal and larger military academy...

Aimee Zhu came here this time mainly to see how well the school was built, so only a small official came to welcome her with a few small officials and the craftsman in charge of building the school.

After spending half an hour visiting the "Chengdu Military Academy", Aimee Zhu went to the training camp, training camp, and training camp by the way.

Since the big reorganization in August, the training camp has been empty.

Now, except for the generals of Zunyi Mansion who are studying in the training camp, there are only more than a thousand recruits recruited from the training camp.

Speaking of which, Aimee Zhu's army currently has no shortage of soldiers, so it stands to reason that there is no need to recruit new soldiers.

However, in the past six months, there have been young and strong people from all over Sichuan wanting to join the army, and some even went to Chengdu specifically to find opportunities.

After Aimee Zhu learned about this situation, she asked the recruiting department to select those who volunteered to join the army with a very high standard. After three months, only more than 1000 people were recruited.

According to Hao Guangming's suggestion, these more than a thousand people were trained as low-level officers. Not only did the training intensity increase, but they also needed to read, read, and study.

Of course, what I read is definitely not the Four Books and Five Classics of the Ming Dynasty, but various military books.

It is impossible for Auntie Zhu to do these things herself, and the people below can only fumble according to her guidance.

Therefore, some of them are still experimental at present, and there will definitely be many gaps and deficiencies.

Even so, it is estimated that in the coming year, Zhu Wei will be able to train a group of low-level generals with good quality.

···
After inspecting the three major training camps, Aunt Zhu returned to the Shu Palace.

After entering the Chengyun Hall, she was about to go to the Zhulin Old House to see if Hao Guangming had returned, when she heard shouts from outside——

"Great victory! Taiping victory!"

"Annihilate [-] enemies! Take [-] prisoners!"

As the shouts approached quickly, the person who delivered the good news soon arrived outside the gate of the Carrier Hall.

The important military officials who were waiting for Hong Niangzi to work in the West Mansion also rushed over when they heard the shout.

At this time, Aimee Zhu saw the good news first.

In the First Battle of Taiping County, after surrendering nearly [-] troops, Li Dingguo defeated thousands of yellow bandits who came to support him, and then surrounded Taiping County.

In Taiping County, there are still more than 1 yellow bandits.

It turned out that after Liu Tichun went to Taiping County to ask for help from the Yaohuang Shisan family, only a few such as Ta Tianbao were willing to send troops to support them, and the total number of these families was only a few thousand.

Most of the yellow bandits headed by Yuan Tao are unwilling to take the risk to rescue Chuangjun.

After Liu Tichun took Ta Tianbao and other "rebels" to rescue Yuan Zongdi and others, Yuan Tao thought that the two sides would have to fight for several days.

He also thought that no matter whether the Ming army won or the Chuang army won, they would inevitably lose a lot, and they would not be able to attack Taiping County in a short time, so they continued to occupy the county.

Unexpectedly, on the morning of the second day, Li Dingguo led an army of tens of thousands to surround Taiping County.
