Brother Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 59

"Okay, get up."

On the high platform of the Yanshan Military Camp, as Zhu Youjian spoke, Sun Yingyuan also got up slowly, and then walked down the stage.

Since he is currently the only commander, he stood at the far left of the team without hesitation.

It's just that behind them, the group of mud legs from the Four Guards and One Battalion are still chatting non-stop, which makes Zhu Youjian's mood worse just now.

"Beat the drums and tell them all to shut up!"

Zhu Youjian, who spoke with a gloomy face, made people feel nervous even though he was young.

Lu Wenzhao hurriedly asked people to beat the drums, and even arranged for Jin Yiwei to patrol the school grounds. Whenever someone opened their mouths to play, they would turn around and be shot with a killing stick.

In this way, another quarter of an hour was wasted, and the time came to the fourth quarter of Mao.

It is unimaginable that it takes four quarters of an hour to even leave the camp, and it takes nearly half an hour. If they go to the battlefield, they will probably be hacked to death by the enemy before they even get out of the tent.

Therefore, the first thing Zhu Youjian did was disarmament.

He walked to the front of the stage with a sullen face, and said to the twenty or so thousand households below:

"I'll give you an hour to select qualified soldiers according to this requirement."

"Unqualified soldiers will be paid according to the whole year of the year, pack up their things and move out of the barracks before noon, and receive military pay at the south gate of the barracks according to their names, places of origin and belt badges."

"Tell them that the Four Guards and One Battalion will go to Liaodong to suppress Jianlu in the future, and those who are afraid of death should leave quickly."

"If you are afraid that you will lose your money income, you can build a village outside the military camp according to Gu's drawings, and become a civilian man who repairs the imperial mausoleum, with a daily salary of [-] Wen."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Youjian looked at Lu Wenzhao, and said, "Ask Yubayashi Sanwei to assist. Jin Yiwei is responsible for measuring height and recording military registration records."

"Don't tell them about the military salary, let's talk about it tomorrow after the martial arts performance at the school."

"A lowly post takes orders." Hearing this, Lu Wenzhao made a slight salute, then looked at Sun Yingyuan and said:
"Commander Sun Dai, you are responsible for the selection of Tengxiang's left and right guards, can you do well?!"

"The bid must fulfill the mission!" Hearing this, Sun Yingyuan responded loudly and bowed in return.

"Okay! Let's get started! I'm announcing the requirements for recruits now." Lu Wenzhao explained according to Zhu Youjian's words, and Zhu Youjian returned to the chair and sat drinking tea.

"First, no one under five feet five in length!"

"This..." When Lu Wenzhao said the first one, many thousands of households in the audience showed embarrassment, and Lu Wenzhao also frowned and said:

"Da Ming has tens of millions of men, are you afraid that you won't find tens of thousands of men over five feet five?!"

One sentence blocked everyone's mouths, and Lu Wenzhao continued:

"Second, those over thirty-five don't want it!"

"Third, lift the stone pier thirty catties, not for those who can breathe less than ten."

"This is three don'ts, do you remember?!"

"Return to the general, I will remember it!" When they heard that there were only three nos, the thousands of households breathed a sigh of relief.

If His Royal Highness had asked for more, there would really not be a few left among the thirteen thousand people.

But they don't know, it's not that Zhu Youjian doesn't want to make more rules, but that there is not enough time to recruit troops.

He must stabilize the army before Qi Jin leads the Zhejiang soldiers to Changping, and then develop a backbone force first, and then expand the army with the backbone force.

The three guards of Habayashi are all imperial guards, with an average height of five feet six inches, so the army that cooperates with them cannot be lower than five feet five, and it is not good to go any lower.

He, Zhu Youjian, wanted the elite. If it was an ordinary pawn, he wouldn't have to be so picky.

Since the Yumajian has strength and capital, it should be armed as an elite cavalry unit.

Even infantry should be infantry with horses.

That is to say, under such a high standard, the vigorous screening began in the audience, and Zhu Youjian also looked at Wang Chengen and said:

"The artisans of the Ministry of Industry's three guards of martial arts, and the ordnance of the armor factory, when will these things arrive?"

Wang Chengen bowed slightly and said, "His Royal Highness, the artisans of the three martial arts guards, a total of [-] people, are expected to arrive in ten days."

"The armor factory's ordnance needs to be ready in a few days, and after Huachun and he contact the Zhejiang soldiers, they will be escorted by the Zhejiang soldiers."

"Among the escorted armors, there are also armors from the Ministry of War, all of which are the ones you requested from Wansui for the Zhejiang soldiers and Shizhu soldiers."

"Another month later, Long Live will allocate [-] taels of internal funds to Changping to send silver for Shizhu soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers."

"Hmm..." Zhu Youjian nodded when he heard that the schedule was ample, but then he remembered the matter of the household department, so he asked:
"Has Hube's Arada been approved?"

"Currently, the slope land at the foot of Yanshan Mountain in Changping has been approved, with a total of [-] mu."

"According to Wansui's will, there are still wastelands in Huairou and Miyun areas. According to the household officials, there are still about [-] mu."

"That is to say, there are more than one million mu?" Zhu Youjian was genuinely happy, but when he looked sideways, he saw Yang Lian's icy face.

"During the incident, why did Yang look so ugly?"

Zhu Youjian asked, but didn't want Yang Lian to say:

"Your Highness, please see for yourself how many soldiers and horses you have under your feet..."

Hearing this, Zhu Youjian turned his head to look, and sure enough, thousands of people disappeared from the school field.

Originally there were more than [-] people in the Four Guards and One Battalion, but now two-thirds of the people have left, and there are only less than [-] people left.

You know, these soldiers have been carefully selected, but Zhu Youjian said five feet five, and directly killed two-thirds of them.

Even if all these people are left, including Habayashi Sanwei, there are only soldiers and horses in the early [-]s.

Seven guards and one battalion should have [-] troops, but now they only have a quarter of them. Even two guards may not be able to get together. Yang Lian is happy.

But regarding this, Zhu Youjian laughed and said:
"The odds of winning an army on the battlefield do not depend on how many people there are, but on which side is more elite."

"If you just look at the number of people, then why did Xiong Tingbi control the garrison in Liaodong and [-] guest troops before, why didn't he just take away the lair of the old slaves, instead of continuing to cut the army?"

"Going further, at the beginning Liaozhen had [-] soldiers and horses, but Li Chengliang mainly relied on [-] Liaodong cavalry to control Neikalkha in the west, Jianzhou and Haixi Jurchen in the north, and North Korea in the east?"

"Don't these all explain the truth that soldiers are more expensive than many?"

"In Ji Town, from Longqing to Wanli twelve years, the beheading of so many soldiers and horses was only a few thousand, and after Qi Shaobao came, he beheaded thousands of people in just three years, so that Dong Huli and other northern captives could not go south to seek peace. Doesn't that explain the situation?"

When Zhu Youjian said this, he didn't continue talking, but just looked at Yang Lian, and after hearing what he said, Yang Lian felt that it was indeed reasonable, so he edited Zhu Youjian:
"The Fifth Highness is right, the old man has been taught."

Yang Lian is like this, he can take it and let it go, if you are right, he will definitely support and reflect on his behavior, unlike most Donglin party members who are stubborn and stubborn.

Just like what happened between Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen in history, it was clear that Wang Huazhen was the Donglin Party member, but when the Donglin Party members wanted to keep Wang Huazhen and held Xiong Tingbi accountable, Yang Lian dared to stand up as a member of the Donglin Party It can be seen from speaking for Xiong Tingbi.

"Yang is polite." Seeing that Yang Lian understood what he meant, Zhu Youjian also turned his head and continued chatting with Wang Chengen.
