Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 335
Seeing that Ma Mingpao was about to leave, Xu Yinjue immediately panicked again.

There is no way, people are knives, I am fish, their Xu family is now fat on the cutting board, they can cut how they want, and eat how they want.

"Master Ma, please stay." Xu Yinjue hurriedly begged for mercy.

"I also ask Mr. Ma to hold your hand high and save our Xu family this time."

"It's no problem to save you, but your Xu family has to show enough sincerity." Ma Minglu said, "It's only three and a half million yuan, but it can't save your Xu family."

If Xu Hongji heard this, he might die on the spot.

A mere three and a half million dollars?There are so many in your house?

But then again, with the family background of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, [-] million taels is really nothing.

"Forget it." Xu Yinjue sighed, and then said, "Xiao Ke will go to the clan to find a way to find a way for those uncles of the same family. If he can borrow some, he will borrow some. If he can't, he will sell the public property of the clan. Why? We have to collect five million taels!"

"That's right, this is the attitude your Xu family should have." Ma Mingpao said, "I will tell you the truth, you just met the current emperor, and you can still protect the whole family."

"Supposed to be another emperor, your Xu family still wants to keep the title? Just dream."

"If this is the meeting of Emperor Taizu Gao or Emperor Chengzuwen, you will have to wipe out the nine clans of your Xu family."

"So, before the Holy Majesty is angry, sell everything that can be sold quickly, collect enough money, and then go to add up with the other nine to see how much is left in the gap of [-] million? In the end, it is really If you don’t have it all, you can find the Royal Bank to borrow it, as long as you are still there, are you afraid that you won’t be able to earn back the money?”

"Don't delay too long, the Holy Majesty's patience is limited."

"If you really make the Holy Master anxious, then you will all be finished."

After a pause, Ma Minghao said again: "Also, don't play those little tricks, you can't deceive people. Today's sage has enlightened the Tao. How can we and other mortals be deceived?"

"Thank you, Mr. Ma, for your suggestion. Xiao Ke understands."

Hearing this, Xu Yinjue deflated like a discouraged ball.

Before that, Xu Yinjue really wanted to keep some land and real estate as much as possible by transferring the land and real estate to his uncle or even his in-laws.

But now, I don't dare to have such an idea anymore.

In a word, the Holy Majesty wants to steal their homes!
So they don't even think about keeping one mu of land, one house, or one tael of silver.

There are also more than [-] maids and servants in the house, and they should be sent away as soon as possible.

I can't keep it anymore, the glory and wealth that belonged to Duke Wei's mansion really can't be kept this time.

Ma Mingpao picked up the teacup from the coffee table again, and said leisurely, "Master Xu, hurry up, and after you have made an agreement with those families, you will return to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find me."

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs? Back?" Xu Yinjue was taken aback when he heard the words.

Immediately, he realized that Ma Mingpao was bringing tea to see off the guests, and wanted to drive him away.

Ma Mingpao said in surprise: "What? Mr. Xu will not go back on his word again, right? And he is unwilling to give this house to the Ministry of Internal Affairs at a price of [-] taels?"

"Uh, no, I don't regret it." Xu Yinjue said quickly, "Xiao Ke will go, right away."

"Don't forget to bring your family members with you." Ma Mingjue said again, "As for those maids and servants, I will take care of them, so I won't bother Mr. Xu to worry about them. Take it off and take it away."

"Yes, okay, pick it up right away." Xu Yinjue left with a sad face, as if he had lost his soul.

Ma Mingpao put down the teacup in his hand, cleared his throat and shouted outside the door: "Zhang Dai? Zhang Zongzi?"

A figure flashed at the entrance of the hall, Zhang Dai had already walked in quickly, bowed to the tunnel and said, "The student is here, what is your command?"

Ma Minglu said: "Take a few people back to Nangong, take the signboard of the House of Internal Affairs, and when the golden plaque of Duke Wei's mansion is taken off, you can hang up the signboard of the House of Internal Affairs. The walls have been pulled down, and the original Wei Guogong’s mansion has placed such beautiful gardens to prevent the people of Nanjing from enjoying them.

"Students take orders." Zhang Dai was overjoyed when he heard this, and led the people there excitedly.

If you ask the scholars in Nanjing where the private garden they want to visit the most, ten out of ten will say the Dongxi Garden and Bailuzhou Garden in Wei Guogong's Mansion, which are really gorgeous to the extreme.

It is said that the gardens of Yangzhou salt merchants are exquisite and luxurious.

But compared with the garden of Wei Guogong's mansion, it's like a wild girl in the country seeing everyone's ladies.

This is great, when the scholars from Jiangnan meet again in the future, they won't have to worry about having nowhere to go. Mr. Ma is really a fastidious person, and he has done a very good deed with immeasurable merit.

……

The top of Lion Mountain.

When Chongzhen came out of the tent, he saw Xu Hongji at a glance, and his expression was quite haggard.

Xu Hongji had never slept in a tent since he was a child. Last night, he suffered a lot, especially the mosquitoes on the mountain were really big and fierce, which bit him badly.

Xu Hongji is like this, Zhu Guobi and the others are not much better.

In contrast, Yan Yingyuan, Xu Yingwei and other scholars of King Qin were not affected at all.

Look at Xu Hongji and other veteran nobles, just like the setting sun in the west, and look at Yan Yingyuan, Xu Yingwei and other Qinwang scholars, just like the rising sun, it is simply incomparable.

Such is the dire consequence of losing metabolism in an army.

Back then, when Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and other famous generals were still there, how glorious was the army of the Ming Dynasty?

But now, what have their descendants degenerated into?All of them have become rice worms, expecting these rice worms to support Daming's military prestige?Big joke.

So honorable, the group of Qin Wang Shizi is probably unavoidable.

Therefore, Chongzhen had to find a mechanism of metabolism, so that new scholars who were determined to catch up with the times and full of vitality were continuously added to the army, and at the same time, old scholars were gradually withdrawn from the army.

Otherwise, it won't be long before he will return to the old way of honor.

But now, Chongzhen doesn't need to think about this headache for the time being.

The most urgent thing to consider is to organize and train the new army to create a new type of army.

"Yan Yingyuan, Xu Yingwei, all of you come here." Chongzhen beckoned Yan Yingyuan and others to come over.

Yan Yingyuan waited for a few Qinwang scholars to finish their dry food in a few bites, and then filed in front of Chongzhen. They saluted and said: "Students wait to kowtow to the Holy One, and the Holy One will be blessed and safe."

"Pingshen." Chongzhen asked with a sullen hand, "How is your training going at the Beijing Camp?"

Yan Yingyuan said: "The vacancies have been wiped out, and the elimination of the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled has been almost done. In fact, there are only less than [-] people left in the Beijing camp of [-]. The next step is the training."

"Don't worry about the training of the Beijing camp, anyway, I don't expect this army to go to the battlefield."

After waving his hand, Chongzhen went on to say: "It's already the end of August, you should hurry back to your hometown to recruit soldiers. The purpose of recruiting soldiers is based on performance. The first class is honest and honest people. It's better if they are dull people. I'd rather Be stupid, and don't want those slippery and vain people, the second class is to only recruit local people."

"Father, why is this?" Zhu Cihong who was also present couldn't help asking.

"Only recruit honest and honest people who can understand, but why only recruit locals? No foreigners?"

Chongzhen then said to Yan Yingyuan: "Yuheng, come and tell the prince why you only recruit the natives and natives?"

"Yes." Yan Yingyuan responded, and said again, "If the soldiers of the same battalion are from the same village, they are familiar with each other, or even relatives, then even if they encounter unfavorable situations after going to the battlefield, most of them can share weal and woe. , and will not easily throw away his robes, or he will be stabbed in the back by the clansmen after returning home."

"But if you recruit foreigners, you don't have such concerns."

After a pause, Yan Yingyuan said again: "On the battlefield, it is also very difficult to live and die together."

Chongzhen said: "This is also a major reason why Guangxi wolf soldiers and Xiangxi and Kuidong native soldiers are very capable of fighting. This is the case with the white soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers who killed Jiannu in the bloody battle of Hunhe River."

After a pause, Chongzhen continued: "So in the future, when recruiting soldiers from our Ming Dynasty, every battalion must come from the same county, every battalion must come from the same township, every sentry must come from the same ri, and every team of soldiers must come from the same county. Coming from the same village, it is easier for such an army to form combat effectiveness."

There is no way, because the concept of nation has not yet been formed at this time.

So it's a no-brainer to inspire national pride.

Only by relying on clan relatives as a link can we barely guarantee the lower limit of an army's combat effectiveness, at least it will not collapse at the first touch like the previous Daming frontier army.

As for the upper limit of combat power, it depends on training and equipment, and then combat experience.

Well-trained and well-equipped, if they can win a few more battles, the combat effectiveness of the new army will soon be qualitatively improved, and then they will be able to set up battles and fight openly against Jiannu.

When he can fight Jiannu head-on, the end of Jiannu will come.

Because the training cost of a new army soldier of the Ming Dynasty is completely out of proportion to the training cost of a bannerman of Jiannu, and the training time is even more incomparable.

At that moment, Chongzhen said to the scholars Yan Yingyuan and Xu Yingwei: "Go back and tell the other scholars that you will return to your hometown today to recruit soldiers. You must bring back [-] recruits within a month. It doesn’t matter if there is one less soldier, and I will check it myself when the time comes.”

"Students wait for the order." Yan Yingyuan and others took the order and left.

Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Hongkui and the others looked serious, six hundred total?
According to the military system of recruiting soldiers, five people form one army, and a team leader is set up, and two teams form one team, and a team leader is set up.

Three teams are organized into one team, with a captain, three teams are organized into one post, with a post chief, five posts are organized into a general, and a general is formed, and the five generals are formed into a battalion. In a town, there is a commander or deputy commander.

That is to say, a total of 450 soldiers, six hundred is a total of 27 recruits!
