The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 446 A performance for the saint
The new army's camp is a specially vacated area on the west side of the outskirts of the capital, and all supplies are provided by Ying Tianfu.

"The new troops transferred from Peiping must have meat in every meal. They train every day, which requires a lot of gunpowder and lead, which consumes a lot of military resources."

Qi Tai, the servant of the Ministry of War, played respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang in the warm pavilion.

"There is also monthly military pay. The most common soldiers are also paid one tael and five taels of silver every month. The military salary alone costs nearly 5000 taels of silver every month."

Qitai couldn't help but complain.

Zhu Yuanzhang held a gift presented by the new army in his hand.

A self-igniting blunderbuss, a weapon equipped by battalion-level military attaches.

There was no gunpowder installed in the self-generating firecracker, so Zhu Yuanzhang pulled the trigger and made a "click", interrupting Qi Tai's words.

Zhu Yuanzhang recently lived in seclusion, Qi Tai is an official who often sees Zhu Yuanzhang, looking at the saint with a satisfied face, Qi Tai has not seen it for a long time.

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the self-generating short gun that he had been playing with for a long time, and then looked at Qi Tai with a complicated expression on his face.

"Peking is in several provinces. With a dozen or twenty battalions, it has been reorganized to sixty battalions in just half a year. We have never heard any dissatisfaction in the north about military expenditures."

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little disappointed.

"Three battalions, only three battalions of new troops, your military department is complaining?"

Qi Tai quickly explained: "Yingtian Mansion has dozens of guards, hundreds of thousands of troops need supplies, and there are millions of soldiers across the country..."

Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted Qi Tai again.

"Sixty battalions of new troops, nearly 20 troops, only in Beiping Province. According to the report of the Beiping Metropolitan Division, the number of registered reserve troops is as high as 40."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "The reserve army in Beiping Province, plus the 60 battalions of new troops, is [-] troops, not to mention the reserve army in other provinces."

Qi Tai had nothing to say.

The power of the Katai system in Beiping has emerged, even if it is only the quantity on paper, it has already moved the listeners.

Peiping has a population of 500 million.

Bear the brunt of the large allocation pattern.

As much as the gentry in Peking complained, the reform of Peking was as successful as it was.

[-]% of the population is farming, and [-]% of the population is out of land production.

39 military households were allocated more than 3000 million acres of land.

There are more than [-] million mu of land in the entire Ming Dynasty. Although it includes mountain fields, Tu fields, etc., the number of acres can be seen.

If all follow the model of Beiping, it will be a formidable power, although Zhu Yuanzhang knows that this is impossible.

But he has seen the new army.

Zhu Yuanzhang has communicated with many soldiers about the morale, combat effectiveness, tenacity, etc. of the new army, and has a clearer understanding.

The power and status of military households are very high in Beiping.

The young people who came out of the large well system in Peiping were good at literature and martial arts, could ride a horse, were good at bows, were familiar with firearms, understood writing, and knew the way.

Qi Tai pondered for a moment, then said: "For the sergeants on duty in the capital, the military salary of two shi per month is equivalent to one tael of silver, which is already much lower than the military salary."

"Ordinary guards, the military pay is not as good as that of the Beiping new army. From this point of view, the Beiping new army is much higher than the guards."

"If you want to catch up with the fighting power of the new army, I am afraid that the imperial court's annual military expenditure will also double."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked the eunuch next to him to give the self-generated fire blunderbuss to Qi Tai. After Qi Tai took it with both hands, he looked at the firearm carefully.

"Our craftsmen are considered good craftsmen if they can make one firearm every month."

"But in the military factories in Beiping, the monthly production quantity of ordinary craftsmen is about [-] rods, and now there is even spare capacity to equip the officers with these fancy things."

Zhu Yuanzhang is not an ordinary person, his vision can be said to surpass most people, at least at the moment.

"You've only seen the surface. In my opinion, if you don't learn from the Peking model, you will never be able to catch up with the fighting power of the new army."

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to think of something, and suddenly smiled.

"The Beiping model is a whole and cannot be viewed separately. The establishment of the new army in Peiping was born on top of the whole of the Beiping model. It is not a gap that can be made up by opening a few factories in Beijing, or even copying military factories."

"I haven't talked so happily for a long time. It seems like you can't be too tired."

Qitai raised his head and quickly lowered his head.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly left the imperial stage, came to Qi Tai's side, and patted Qi Tai's shoulder. Qi Tai stood up quickly, but was held down by Zhu Yuanzhang again.

"Shangli, you are a talented person. We have always been optimistic about you. Whether the Beiping model is good or not, I believe you have a good name in your heart."

Qi Tai couldn't help raising his head, wondering if the sage had heard something.

In the nearest capital city, there are many voices of dissatisfaction.

Not daring to hide anything, Qi Tai took the initiative and said: "Sage, there are rumors in the market that Peking will cancel the imperial examination. I don't know if it is true."

"do not know."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.

"Didn't the Nisun of Peiping have a saying that he conquered the world, we can't control him."

Qi Tai couldn't figure out Zhu Yuanzhang's mood all of a sudden.

Is he really angry with Yan Shizi, or is it a joke.

……

"I wonder if the saint will come today."

Camp of the new army.

Fang Kuan looked forward to it with eagerness, standing on tiptoes and looking forward, looking as if he could see through it.

"Shouldn't be coming." Looking at the sky, Tang Yun made a guess.

"Ugh."

"I also prepared something new for the saint."

Fang Kuan was a little disappointed.

"coming."

someone called.

Fang Kuan and the others immediately burst into laughter and greeted them immediately.

"Saint, today we have prepared a pig jumping bravery for the saint. I don't know if the saint wants to watch it."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked cheerful, with his hands in his sleeves.

From a beggar to a military leader supported by everyone.

Whether it is Zhu Yuanzhang's personality charm or his ability to win people's hearts, he is definitely the best in the world.

After a short period of time, the new army was coaxed by Zhu Yuanzhang not to want it.

"Pig Tuxunyong?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a daze.

"From "Hanshu Shihuo Zhixia", during the Xinmang period, the army organized criminals into death squads, which were called Zhutu Xiyong, which means rampant like a wild boar."

Li Daoxin stepped forward to remind him, and Zhu Yuanzhang understood.

"Okay, very good."

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped Fang Kuan on the shoulder with his big hand, and the corners of Fang Kuan's mouth were almost cracked to the crevice of his ears. Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly and said, "Boys, let the old man open his eyes."

Quite a bit like a mountain king.

Such a performance made the sergeants below feel warm in their hearts.

There are saints watching, and the soldiers are all working hard.

On the school field, the sergeants arranged their formation.

The whole army was organized into nine columns.

On the stage, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of curiosity. Since he presented treasures to himself as treasures, it must be unique.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was used to seeing the battlefield, really couldn't think of any scenes he hadn't seen before.

Although Fang Kuan was only a mid-level officer, he was an old man after all. It must be extraordinary for him to attach so much importance to it.

Yes.

Although Fang Kuan was the commander of the Northern Parallel Capital, but in the military system of the Ming Dynasty, he was only a mid-to-high-ranking officer.

Even Fang Kuan was like this, not to mention Tang Yun, who was only the commander of a guard.

They have the opportunity to see Zhu Yuanzhang, and even speak face to face, which has surpassed most of the military officers.

A trumpeter took out a brass trumpet.

The trumpeter took a deep breath and blew the horn.

"Did, drop, drop, drop..."

The continuous sound of horns resounded through the barracks.

The army formation, which was still still just now, suddenly seemed to explode, and the whole army rushed forward with their bayonets in their hands.

"Wei."

shouted the military attache in the first column.

"Whoosh whoosh."

The soldiers in the first three rows did not pick up their bayonets, but took out grenades and threw them forward quickly.

The sky is full of grenades.

Lost far and dense.

Of course the grenades didn't explode, these were for training.

"Clap."

"Clap."

One after another, the grenades fell to the ground, and not long after, the footsteps of soldiers who caught up with them stepped over.

Without a military order, the charging soldiers would keep rushing forward.

The soldiers in the first three rows lost all their grenades.

at this time.

They have already sprinted for a mile.

Ran from one end of the field to the other.

At the beginning, the speed of sprinting was relatively slow, but after running faster and faster, the momentum became more and more majestic, as if the torrent was unstoppable.

Opera should be sung for those who understand opera.

Painting should be shown to people who know how to paint.

Zhu Yuanzhang clenched his fists, his face turned red, and he trembled. Li Daoxin, who was behind him, almost cried out in fright.

Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly regained his composure, and Li Daoxin's heart, which had been welling up in his throat, fell down again.

"it is good."

"it is good."

Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.

Because he knew exactly what it meant.

"What a pig and brave."

Fang Kuan then remembered something, his face suddenly turned pale, and he took the initiative to kneel down in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"The last general violated a taboo in naming him, please ask the sage to punish him."

"Isn't that nice?"

Zhu Yuanzhang pulled up Fang Kuan.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang walked to the front of the stage and glanced over. The soldiers were all looking here, not knowing what happened.

"From now on it will be called Hog Yong Tactics, and you will be my Hog Yong Army from now on."

"Thank you saint for giving me the name."

shouted the sergeants.

In any case, Zhu Yuanzhang is Zhu Di's father and Zhu Gaochi's grandfather.

And Zhu Yuanzhang is the hero of recovering China.

In the past few decades of governing the country, the officials have been strict, and the people can personally tie the illegal officials to the capital, and the guard system has not been corrupted.

In front of Zhu Yuanzhang, the sergeants couldn't even hold on to Fang Kuan, not to mention the ordinary soldiers, all of them were very excited.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy, and began to urge Zhu Di after returning.

"The new army is really good. Let's name it the Yongjun Army. Let your son quickly get more new troops to come to the capital. Three battalions are not enough."

"There are still tens of thousands of forbidden troops to be sent to Peiping, only [-] will not be enough."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

Zhu Di's heart "thumped".

Why does it feel more and more wrong?
