Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 439 Going north to rectify military affairs
In the seventh year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, due to the investigation of various sub-district departments, Ming commercial bureaus, post offices, primary schools, county schools, and prefectural schools at the end of the year, the originally scheduled departure for the north at the beginning of the year was postponed to early April.

The river is surging, the breeze is blowing, and the sun is shining brightly on the river. From time to time, there are a few out-of-tune singing voices from the fishing boats. You can also hear the people laughing, talking and singing.

Along the way are the fields of the common people, the houses are surrounded by peach blossoms and willows, and the smoke from cooking is curling up.The crowing of chickens and the barking of dogs were interspersed between the yelling and cursing of the peasant woman.

In the bright yellow post office building, the sound of reading can be heard from the nearby primary school.

There are some differences between the canals of today and the canals of later generations.

The canal reaches Peiping in the north and Hangzhou in the south, but the direction of the channel is not fixed because the direction of the rivers along the way is not fixed.

The vermilion fast boat was extremely fast and went straight up against the water surface. Zhu Biao chose a mail ship, which carried about 60 to 70 people. In the cargo hold at the bottom, there were goods and letters transported north by the Nanjing Post Office of the Ming Dynasty.

The cruise ship is refitted from a post boat, and this fast boat is called a fish-dragon speedboat by the people.

The Daming Water Transport Law stipulates that whenever the fast boats from the Daming Post Office appear, merchant ships, fishing boats and passenger ships on the river must give way as soon as possible without any obstruction.

Three ichthyosaur speedboats sailed across the river to the north.

On the front clipper, the curtain was lifted.

A man dressed in a black robe, with delicate features and delicate features, came out, his whole aura was prominent and extraordinary.

More than a dozen civilian men on both sides of the boat, wearing plain knives at their waists, immediately knelt down on one knee:
"See His Royal Highness."

"Where are you?"

Zhao Yunsheng and Lu Zhong stepped forward and said, "Report to Your Highness, the boat will enter Cangzhou after another twenty miles."

"Let Han Yike draw the terrain along the way and the direction of the river more carefully, and the lives of the people should also be drawn and recorded truthfully."

"Do you want to notify the Junyi and Huangming Guard in Cangzhou?" Lu Zhong asked.

"No, just go straight to Beiping Mansion."

The curtain of the ship's door was raised again, and a tall servant dressed in servant's clothes came out of the cabin, with red lips and white teeth, a slender waist tied with a belt that was about to break, and the clothes on the chest were protruding, with a sharp outline.

Although he was an eunuch serving as a servant, none of the followers dared to be careless, and immediately saluted: "See the princess."

Xu Miaowei walked up to Zhu Biao and stood still, looked at Zhu Biao, and said silently: "It's all your fault."

"Back down." Zhu Biao waved his sleeves.

When everyone retreated to the side of the boat, Zhu Biao turned his head and took a look at her. From now on, he had to take her with him when he went out. At least he could rest assured that he would leave his life to her.

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "I see that the people live and work in peace and contentment, and they can still laugh out loud, which means that what they did before is not wrong."

"Then I'll dress like this..."

"You are a servant. If you don't wear this, what do you want to wear? Since the mines in the river killed people, I have to protect myself. You are always more capable of protecting me than Zhao Yunsheng and the others. If I die in an accident, you I'm going to be a widow."

Xu Miaowei stared at her beautiful eyes: "With me here, how could it be. Besides, I am willing to go with you."

After finishing speaking, she held Zhu Biao's arm tightly with her slender hands and stood behind him.Looking at the fields in the distance, Zhu Biao let out a long sigh: "In the future when the Ming Dynasty is handed over to me, I will do two things first."

"Which two things?"

"Continue to carry out the implementation of the allocation of the land to the mu, the gentry pays the food as a whole, and the fire consumption is returned to the public. The second thing is to abolish the burial system.

If I go first, you have to warn future generations to continue to implement it. Only by solving the problems of the people can the world be stable. "

Xu Miaowei didn't answer his words, and said this bad luck at a young age, this time going north, on the two ships behind, there were gunmen and crossbowmen, each with a knife, they were all elite soldiers of the navy.

Unless the army riots, it is safe and secure.

Zhao Yunsheng, who came with him, was also interested in Lin'an. He followed Zhu Biao for several years, and he was the standard from top to bottom. Who would dare to be careless.

Many of the three ships were goods destined for the north, and some officials borrowed a lot of money from the Ming Dynasty Merchant Bureau to buy boats used by Cao Cao.

Originally, Lu Zhong thought that a cannon should be brought up, but Zhu Biao said that it was too ostentatious, and Tai Xingshi mobilized the crowd, so he gave up.

Xu Miaowei stood on the side, admiring Zhu Biao who was looking into the distance with a pair of eyes. When he was meditating, his eyes had a depth that did not match his age, and a feeling different from others, which made people's hearts flutter when they saw it.

A gentleman.

But when she thought of his various postures at night, the corners of her lips couldn't help showing a trace of embarrassment, which made her embarrassed to think of it.

Along the canal, there is nothing but farmland now.In history, during the Yongle period, a palace where the emperor lived during his inspections was built every shortly thereafter.

This is for the emperor's temporary residence when he departs from North Zhili to South Zhili for inspection. After all, it is impossible for a dignified emperor to just find a place to live.

The construction of the palace requires soldiers and everyone to take care of it. The annual maintenance cost alone is amazing.

Later emperors of the Ming Dynasty were bound by the ancestral legal system for a lifetime, and could only be emperors in the palace.

Originally, the whole world was the land of emperors, but the emperors of later generations became birds in cages.

I don't even know what the land of Daming actually looked like, I only know something from the memoirs of officials and ministers.

When Zhu Biao turned around, Xu Miaowei immediately looked away, suppressed the smile on the corner of her mouth, and lowered her head humbly.

"Come on, follow me and tell me about the Beipingfu Military Academy." Zhu Biao turned around.

"Your Highness." Xu Miaowei agreed, turned around and followed in.

The cabin is covered with blankets, which were made by the Weaving Bureau, and there is a sketch map of the Beipingfu Military Academy in the middle.

Next to it is the establishment of the army. It was originally drawn up by Zhu Biao himself, and it was used after showing it to Emperor Zhu.

"Bring it."

Zhu Biao was used to ordering his servants like this, and now the prince was dignified, not only didn't smile at her, but also became serious.

Xu Miaowei was not annoyed, and respectfully took the blueprint she drew when she returned to Beijing, and unfolded it in front of Zhu Biao:

"According to His Highness's instructions, those who enter the school in September every year will be arranged to teach and train soldiers. These soldiers are carefully selected talents, and their positions will be exchanged every three years."

"I remember that it was mainly transported to the northwest and southwest?" Zhu Biao asked.

"There are five major military regions in total, and the southwest and northwest have more military forces. Here, I have recorded those names in detail here."

In the past few years, Li Wenzhong has been managing these matters, but as long as there is no soldier amulet, no one dares to rectify the military academy without authorization.

All the arrangements must be as she recorded them.

The five major military regions are divided into east, west, north, south, and middle.

Unified prefix name: Daming Wuce Army.

Daming Wuce Army Dongjia Division, Dongyi Division and Dongbing Division...

Great Ming Wuce Army Nanjia Division, Nanyi Division and Nanbing Division...North Jia Division...

In addition to the Beijing Army, there are six divisions in the east, west, north, and south, and the various places are still being rectified.

From squad to platoon...regiment, finally to division, and then to Daming Wuce, the four military regions of East, West, North, South, and North.

There is Chang Yuchun in the northeast, Feng Sheng and Fu Youde in the west, and Muying and Deng Yu in the southwest.On the southeast coast, Xu Da, Wu Zhen and all the naval forces guarded the coast.

Subdividing it down, the artillery regiment has 200 people, the firearms regiment has 500 people, and the infantry and cavalry regiments have 3000 to [-] people.

Those artillery, infantry, cavalry, reconnaissance and general administration, service, repair, medical care, plus horses and chariots, food and grass, crossbows, rockets, mines and charges, pontoons...

And according to the region, according to the types of arms, the number of people is constantly prepared every year.

The students of the two military academies will be directly assigned to various places according to what they are good at.

Because of the unified requirements, every two years, the generals of the five major military regions will switch directions with each other.

Zhu Biao once explained to them that the generals changed places every few years, so that they would be familiar with each other's guarded areas.Helps to become more familiar.

These military regions are all improving their troops and simplifying their generals, so that there are no waste soldiers or waste weapons, and one can be worth ten.

Then Zhu Biao will also arrange these younger brothers, let them use their position as the direction of attack, and advance in all directions.

As for the Western Land, wait for Sapphire and the others to come back, and then continue to arrange according to the situation.

"Your Highness, drink tea." Lu Zhong brought tea in for Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao took it, but found that the tea was a bit better than the tribute tea, and the tea leaves were even better.Open the lid of the tea water, the water is clear and green, and the faint fragrance enters the throat, like spring in March.

"Who sent it?" Zhu Biao asked.He did not bring tea this time.

"This……"

Lu Zhong hesitated, but still told the truth.

　Ask for a ticket.
