Chapter 384 Reorganizing the Army and Training Township Bravery

The Sheng family is considered a prominent family in Youyang, and the daughters they raise will naturally not be that unruly and willful woman who doesn't understand anything, especially Sheng Shulan, the eldest daughter of Sheng's family.

Although she was not a good person and married a Sun Xiucai who only knew how to drink and have fun, and asked for flowers and willows, her ability to be a housekeeper and director was actually passed down by her mother Sheng Li.

Xiaowei, Shulan and Wang Li jointly opened the cloth dyeing workshop. It seems that Xiaowei is in charge, but in fact it is behind the scenes that Shulan is in charge of the overall situation.

To put it simply, Xiaowei is the department manager, Shulan is the general manager and CEO, and Wang Li is one of the shareholders.

Moreover, most of the cloth produced by the cloth dyeing workshop is sold to the cloth factory that has a cooperative relationship with Jihai Company. After all, the shipments of the yarn mills and cloth workshops of Jihai Company are so large that they almost occupy nearly three-thirds of the total volume of goods in Quanzhou. One-third of the market caused the price of local cloth and garments in Quanzhou to drop sharply. The merchants inevitably complained, but the common people cheered.

The price of salt is already so high, and the large amount of sea salt that floods into the salt field is also the local supplier from Quanzhou, causing the price of salt to drop. Countless salt merchants hate Wang Zhong to the core, and even sent several killers to assassinate Wang Zhong. It's a pity Wang Zhong's martial arts skills are superb, and his five senses are keen. The killer just got close to Wang Zhong's body for ten steps before he was noticed by Wang Zhong.

Several assassinations ended in failure, but several salt merchants were involved. Neither Wang Zhong nor Chen Jun were indecisive, so they directly dispatched troops to the door, ransacked their homes and arrested people, adding a lot of money to the treasury of the state government. The income of millions of dollars.

On the fifth day of March, Wang Zhong rushed to the Xinghua Army in the north of Quanzhou with Yu Chuer and more than ten guards.

"Who is coming?" Outside the gate, the soldiers on duty stopped Wang Zhong and his party.

"Blind your dog eyes, you don't even know me anymore!" Ma Feng is a battalion commander of the Xinghua Army and one of the chief officers of the two battalions currently being transferred to Quanzhou. one of.

"I've seen Commander Ma!" Ma Feng was stuck in the crowd just now, and the rest of the people were unfamiliar faces. The soldiers on duty didn't notice him at the first time, and that's how the previous scene happened!
"You..." Ma Feng was about to explode, but was stopped by Wang Zhong.

"I have other important things to do when I come here, so there is no need for side effects!"

When Wang Zhong opened his mouth, Ma Feng immediately clasped his fists in response, then turned his head and said loudly to the army on duty: "This lord is Quanzhou General Judge and the new commander of the Xinghua Army's deputy capital. I need to see Yuan Commander for something. , don’t report it quickly!”

"I have seen the general judge, the general judge is waiting, I will report to you!" The sergeant obviously did not expect Wang Zhong's background to be so big, he hurriedly saluted and apologized, and then ran to the barracks.

The rest of the sergeants looked at Wang Zhong curiously. The Xinghua Army is adjacent to Quanzhou. On weekdays, it is responsible for defending the entire Fujian region. There has been a lot of noise in Quanzhou in the past few years, such as setting up salt farms and building wharfs. Of course, I couldn't hide it from my neighbors, and two command battalions of the Xinghua Army were transferred to Quanzhou to garrison. I heard that each of them made a lot of money, which made these soldiers who stayed behind envious.

After a while, a middle-aged general who looked about forty years old and a bit bloated came out with a smile on his face.

The person who came was none other than Wang Wu, the commander of the capital of the Xinghua Army: "Wang Tong judges that you are here, and the next official is welcome, and I hope you will forgive me!"

Although the imperial court is not as emphatic as the historical Zhao and Song Dynasties, but in the court, civil servants still have far more power to speak than military commanders, let alone local governors. All military affairs in the state!
Although Wang Zhong is not Zhizhou, but the power in his hands is not inferior to that of Zhizhou, and he is a man with real talent and hard work. More importantly, Yuan Wu, who has been the commander of the Xinghua Army in the past few years, has made a lot of money. It's not like before, relying on soldiers' fuel and blood, not only gaining benefits, but also earning a reputation. Maybe in a few years, he can climb up again in this position.

Wang Zhong was not like some civil servants with high self-esteem, who felt that warriors were inferior, and they were not worthy to lift their shoes. Instead, he said very politely: "Commander Yuan is being polite, I came here suddenly!"

Yuan Wu hurriedly led Wang Zhong into the military tent himself, and asked him to serve tea and snacks.

"The conditions in the army are poor, and if they are treated slowly, I hope the judge will forgive me!" Yuan Wu is not a simple warrior, he was also a martial arts graduate in his early years, and has read a lot of books.

"Yuan Instructor, you don't need to be polite!"

Wang Zhong cupped his hands with a smile, and said straight to the point: "I was ordered by Chen Zhizhou this time, and I came to Xun Yuan to instigate me!"

"Oh?" Yuan Wu hurriedly asked, "I don't know what orders Chen Zhizhou has?"

Wang Zhongdao: "Now that the Quanzhou Shipping Department has been established, there will only be more and more ships, merchants, and people entering and leaving Quanzhou Bay in the future. Instructor Yuan also knows that those who dare to do business at sea are either wealthy or powerful. Just don't die, in the future Quanzhou Bay will definitely be mixed with dragons and snakes, and if there are too many people, troubles will easily occur, and pirates may even be coveted.

Moreover, the Quanzhou Shipping Department has just been established, so it is inevitable that there are some deficiencies in the work, and it is inevitable that people with good intentions will make troubles with excuses, so a large number of soldiers and horses must be stationed and patrolled to deter those restless people, so as not to cause trouble! "

Yuan Wu asked tentatively: "What Chen Zhizhou means is that he asked me to personally lead the troops to station in Quanzhou Bay?"

"No!" Wang Zhong shook his head and said, "The Xinghua army is the Xinghua army of Fujian, not the army of Quanzhou. Yuan ordered him to shoulder the heavy burden, how can he move lightly!"

Yuan Wu heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time couldn't help but feel regretful in his heart, he immediately cupped his hands and asked, "Then I wonder what arrangements Chen Zhizhou has?"

"Zhizhou means that in Quanzhou, the people will be recruited into the army, the village brave will be trained, and five command battalions will be added. Two of the command battalions will be stationed on the wharf and will be responsible for the safety of the land. The remaining three command battalions will be The naval forces are stationed at the north and south seaports of Quanzhou Bay respectively to deter the pirates from the Rongdi, and when the time is right, they will go to the official court and be promoted to the Xiang army!"

Yuan Wu was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The Xinghua Army only has five commanders in total. Will the addition of five commanders be too many?"

Wang Zhong knew what Yuan Wu was worried about. It was nothing more than that Quanzhou had its own army, so they wouldn't need their Xinghua Army, so how could their Xinghua Army make money!
Immediately he said calmly: "Instruct Yuan to rest assured, Chen Zhizhou means, but all soldiers and horses stationed in Quanzhou are the same as before, all expenses and salaries are borne by Quanzhou, and Zhizhou still has to explain, but this matter has to be done Commander Yuan just nod!"

Looking at Wang Zhong who suddenly had a mysterious face, Yuan Wu asked suspiciously: "Please tell me clearly!"

Wang Zhongdao: "I have discussed with the general judge. In the future, the two battalions of the Xinghua Army in Quanzhou will be rotated every six months."

"Rotate with a period of half a year?" Yuan Wu was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted: "Tong Juan's words are serious?"

"Does Instructor Yuan think that Wang is talking nonsense and defrauding the instigator?" Wang Zhong's tone was still flat, but Yuan Wu's body and mind trembled when he saw that piercing gaze.

Yuan Wu hurriedly explained: "Tong Jue misunderstood, the lower official was just too surprised to hear the news for a while, and made a slip of the tongue, Tong Jue forgive me!"

Only then did Yuan Wu realize that Wang Zhong was not one of the generals under his command, but a local important official who held great power and was said to be highly trusted by Emperor Jiayou. It's not those embroidered pillows that look good but are useless, and he is a commander of the Xinghua Army, how can he be a guerrilla general from the fifth rank?
"Director Yuan, don't be nervous!" Wang Zhong said with a smile, "I don't know what Wang said just now, but what is Commander Yuan thinking?"

"The lower officials will definitely support it with all their strength!" Yuan Wu immediately stated his position, and his attitude was very firm.

Wang Zhong clasped his hands again and said: "I almost forgot that the new army needs the ordnance, and I have to trouble Commander Yuan to provide it!"

"Ah?" Yuan Wu was really stunned now, how come there are still weapons?But looking at the smiling Wang Zhong, remembering the great help he said just now, Yuan Wu suddenly felt as if he had fallen into Wang Zhong's trap, and was clearly calculated.

Yuan Wu suddenly had a toothache, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he could only say with a bitter face: "It's not because Yuan is unwilling to support, but for a while, the army can't produce so many equipment! "

Wang Zhong waved his hand and said lightly: "It's okay, Zhizhou and I are not unreasonable people, we just provide as much as Commander Yuan has. As for the rest, Zhizhou Chen and I will figure it out ourselves!"

Yuan Wu breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you for your understanding!"

Just now Yuan Wu was really afraid of Wang Zhong's unrelenting lion and opened his mouth.

The two discussed some more details, and Yuan Wu took Wang Zhong to the armory, and brought two hundred pieces of iron armor, three hundred pieces of paper armor, three hundred pieces of divine arm crossbows, three hundred pieces of strong bows, and the rest of the armor and weapons. There are countless, and Yuan Wu personally sent a battalion of troops to help escort them.

Before leaving, Wang Zhong could not help reminding Yuan Wudao again: "Now the imperial court does not know how many eyes are staring at Quanzhou, eating nothing like before, and using the old and weak as soldiers. If it happens again, what will happen? Commander Yuan is clear in his heart! At that time, don't say that Wang is unpredictable!"

After saying that, Wang Zhong got on his horse and led his men to beat the horse and left the Xinghua army garrison, leaving Yuan Wu in a mess in the wind.

Such things as Wang Zhong said, such as eating empty pay, drinking soldiers' blood, and even reselling ordnance, can be found everywhere in local armies like the Xinghua Army, and it is not uncommon.

Although Wang Zhong and Chen Jun are the highest officials in Quanzhou, the Xinghua Army does not belong to Quanzhou. The purpose of the secondment was to guard the pier and frighten Xiaoxiao.

With the increasing development of Quanzhou, always relying on the Xinghua Army is not a long-term solution. After all, the Xinghua Army is not affiliated to Quanzhou, but a local government on the same level as Quanzhou. Although the names are different, they are all third-level local governments below the road, and each has jurisdiction over several counties or even dozens of counties.

Some troops and supervisors were still separated from the state capital, such as the Xinghua Army. It used to belong to Quanzhou in the early years, but it has been independent since the time of the first emperor. It has three counties under the jurisdiction of Xinghua, Xianyou, and Putian. The army is five thousand, that is, ten commanders.

However, this number is only on paper, and the actual number of soldiers is far from enough. The two command battalions transferred to Quanzhou were all assembled by Yuan Wu from east to west, and the world has been peaceful for decades, even if there is war Most of them are in the north. The south has been peaceful for a long time, and the armies in various places have long been corrupted. There are very few young and strong soldiers in the army.

These are things that everyone knows well, but now Quanzhou has stood on the cusp of the storm. With the establishment of the Shipping Department, it will only attract more and more attention. The Xinghua Army and Quanzhou have been deeply involved, so naturally It will fall into the eyes of others. If the court really pursues it at that time, some things cannot be hidden at all. Moreover, although Yuan Wu is not from a humble family, he is not from a Wuxun family. Although there are people in the family who are officials, other than him The highest one is no more than a county magistrate, and he does not have a deep foundation in the court.

Watching the loads of ordnance being transported back to Quanzhou, Zhizhou Chen Jun couldn't help showing a smile on his face, stroked his beard and said, "In this way, Quanzhou will be safe!"

"You have to pay more attention to the training of soldiers!" Chen Jun raised his glass and invited Wang Zhong to drink with him.

Wang Zhong also raised his glass and said: "Thanks to Ming Gong's trust, I will be so heartbroken that I will die!"

Hearing Wang Zhong's assurance, the smile on Chen Jun's face became brighter, and he dragged Wang Zhong to drink several more cups before giving up.

Letting Wang Zhong train troops was not Chen Jun's temporary idea, but in the past few years, Wang Zhong has pulled out the archers and village warriors under the jurisdiction of the Quanzhou government government for training. Once the brave men changed their appearance, just looking at their training posture, they were very different from ordinary Xiangyong.

In the early morning of the next day, the yamen's announcement of recruiting Xiangyong was posted. At the same time, Chen Jun, who was the magistrate of the state, also ordered people to send a series of military orders to the counties under the jurisdiction of Quanzhou, and ordered the county captains of each county to lead the county within half a month. Archers and Xiangyong rushed to Jinjiang to participate in the training camp.

The term "intensive training" was proposed by Wang Zhong. Wang Zhong believed that Fujian had been peaceful for many years, and there had been almost no wars. All counties and townships had neglected training, and even the bandits in the mountains were hard to wipe out.

Chen Jun is also a man with ideals and ambitions. Many of his ideas coincide with Wang Zhong's. It was just that he was limited by his own lack of ability, lack of money, and powerlessness. Now Wang Zhong is leading the charge and Quanzhou is full of mansions. Ku support, naturally happy to support Wang Zhong.

In the second half of March, a hundred township braves gathered in the west of Jinjiang City, and 1000 township braves were newly recruited from Jinjiang and Nan'an counties, making a total of 500 people.

The Xiangyongs from the remaining five counties were organized into one battalion, and the Xiangyongs from the two counties in Jingnan and An'an were each formed into a battalion. There were three battalions in total. , a tall figure with a long knife hanging from his waist.

"From today onwards, Dehua, Yongchun, Hui'an, Qingxi, and Tong'an five county townships will serve as the third battalion of Quanzhou; How do you train, but now that you have entered my Quanzhou camp, from today onwards, you are members of my Quanzhou camp. Whenever there is a need for training, someone will come to the camp to teach you. After one month, the army A small ratio in the middle of the day, and a large ratio every month!"

"Yu Chu Er!"

"Your subordinate is here!" Yu Chuer, who was also in armor, cupped his hands and stepped out.

"Read the military law!"

"promise!"

I saw Yu Chuer walked to the middle of the high platform, holding a scroll in his hand, opened it and read aloud: "Everyone, listen carefully!"

"One: If you don't advance when you hear the drums, if you hear the gold, if you don't raise the flag, if you don't hold the flag down, this is called disobedience to the army, and the offender will be killed.

Two: Responsibility for calling names, not arriving on time, failing to meet deadlines, changing the rules of the teacher, this is called slow army, and the offender will be executed.

Three: Spread the word of Diao Dou at night, be lazy and not report it, even plan to violate it slowly, and the voice is unknown. This is called a lazy army, and the offender will be killed.

Four: Complaining too much, angering the general, not listening to restraint, making it even more difficult to teach, this is called building an army, and offenders will beheaded

······"

"This is in addition to the 54 bans in the army and [-] beheadings. However, if there are offenders, they will be beheaded from the command of the first battalion to the soldiers in the army!"

Yu Chuer's high-pitched voice was full of murderous intent. The [-] law enforcement teams composed of Wang Zhong's personal guards were all dressed in red armor, with long knives hanging from their waists, and their faces seemed to be haunted, which was very terrifying.

"In addition, the monthly big competition in the army is the time to test the results of your training. Each time the first place in the big competition, each person will be rewarded with a consistent amount of money, and even two for the top, and the top five. , Command ten times, the last battalion, the punishment depends on the training situation!"

"In addition, in each big competition, ten people with outstanding overall performance will be selected from among the soldiers, from the first place to No.10, and will be rewarded with cash from ten to one consistent..."

As soon as Yu Chuer's words about rewards and punishments came out, there was an uproar immediately, and the sergeants looked at Yu Chuer with bright eyes.

Yu Chu Er retreated to the side, and Wang Zhong said loudly again: "Before the training, I once again declare that the training in Quanzhou Camp is completely different from the training you have experienced before. It's too late, but if there are any retreaters after the training begins, they will be dealt with by military law!"

There was a moment of silence at the bottom, and suddenly a black and strong man from the first battalion stood up and asked boldly: "Master Tongju, is it true that there is such a monthly reward of money?"

"Of course it's true! Don't you believe me, Wang Zhong, as a guarantor?" Wang Zhong said loudly.

"Of course we believe the verdict!"

Another person asked: "My lord, I heard that the salt workers in the salt field have two dry meals a day, and one meal of meat every five days. The villain would like to ask, can our food catch up with those salt workers?" ?"

Wang Chonglang said: "Three dry meals a day, and braised pork at night!"

"Three dry meals, and braised pork at night?" As soon as Wang Zhong's words came out, the eyes of more than 1000 people below showed green light, like a very hungry wolf seeing its prey.

"The officers and soldiers of the first battalion all know where the official's home is. If someone enriches their own pockets so that everyone can't eat meat, everyone can come to my home and look for me."

Wang Zhong's words immediately set off a turbulent wave among the crowd of villagers. Everyone expressed their willingness to stay in the Quanzhou camp for training. No one would know that what awaited them would be a tough training like hell.

In the early morning of the next day, at seven o'clock, the wake-up call sounded, and the sergeants of the law enforcement team rushed into the tent with whips, and drove the sergeants who were still sleeping on the bed like cattle. Get up, one after another roar resounded over the entire barracks.

At the beginning of Mao, the counting began. Wang Zhong stood on the general platform, and the sergeants of the red-armored law enforcement team took the roster and counted the marks one by one.

"From now on, when the trumpet sounds, you have to get up. If you don't sound the trumpet three times, you will be considered late, and you will be fined ten laps and one hundred push-ups! If you are late for more than a quarter of an hour, you will not be allowed to eat for a day, remember? "

All the soldiers had different complexions, but they all nodded and shouted "remember".

But this is just the tip of the iceberg of hell-style training. Wang Zhong has never trained soldiers, but in the dungeon world of "Youth", he has stayed in the barracks for a long time, and even went to the battlefield. The modern army training can be said Ripe can not be more ripe.

On the first day, let the sergeants of the law enforcement team lead the three battalions to run and exercise, stand in a military posture, teach everyone the rules of living in the army, and explain various punishments. In the next few days, the soldiers will gradually get used to the army. What is most unacceptable to the soldiers is not the hard training, but the strict requirements for hygiene in the barracks.

Even the quilts had to be folded into tofu cubes, the beds had to be neat, the clothes had to be clean, and the shoes and socks had to be washed frequently. After only a few days of work, the soldiers were miserable, and they were punished to run away and do push-ups every day.

After standing in the military posture and formation for a whole month, everyone could finally distinguish the front, rear, left, and right sides, and the formation had initially seen its scale. Only then did Wang Zhong let the soldiers of the Xinghua Army enter the arena, and began to follow the current army training rules. method to train these village braves to distinguish semaphores and orders.

Over time, the village braves gradually got used to life in the barracks.

When Wang Zhong was training Xiangyong in Quanzhou, Tokyo, thousands of miles away, was not peaceful.

As stated in the original book, when Gu Er was young, he complained for Yang Wuduan, saying that the officials treated Yang Wuduan too harshly, and was sued by his brother Gu Tingyu to the officials. Gu Er was originally in the top three , but Emperor Jiayou cut off the road to the imperial examination with a word, and asked him to take the exam after the age of 50, just like Yang Wuduan.

Gu Er made a big fuss in the Hou's Mansion, broke up with Gu Hou, and moved out of the Hou's Mansion to live in Tianshui Lane.

Changbai won the Jinshi as he wished, and he was also the top of the second class. The situation of the two Changfeng brothers has also undergone considerable changes. With the rise of Changbai, Wang Ruofu's right to speak has risen again. Keep a low profile.

But Chang Feng is not a quiet person. After failing the exam, he was hit hard. What's more, before the exam, he swore that he would go to high school this time, but now he failed the exam. The bold words before became others to make fun of him Talking handle.

Sheng Hong was busy with Zhang Luo Changbai's marriage, Changbai was also busy with his parents on a blind date, Wang Ruofu didn't want to care about it, Lin Sushuang couldn't care about it, the old lady lived her own life in Shou'an Hall, Changfeng disappeared all of a sudden Controlled by others, she slips out of the house every day, drinks, drinks and prostitutes with others, indulges in sensuality, and wants to save her face through other means.
