Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1602 Great Ming Armament II

Mu Jing took Xi Zhicai and others to walk around Baidi Mountain, looking at the majestic Three Gorges and Yangtze River, and looking at the overlapping mountains.

The time had passed before they knew it, and soon it was night, and after nightfall, they returned to the barracks.

On Baidi Mountain, the city wall has been rebuilt, and there is no trace of the ancient city wall. The new city is a new city, not large in scale, but a majestic new city.

This is not so much a military camp as it is a military city, an important town for the first military division of Baidi Mountain. This is not only a place for military training, but also a place for armament storage.

Basically, the arms and armaments manufactured by the military workshops in various places will be transported here to build warehouses, and then transported to the front line from here.

This is the largest transit warehouse for military supplies of the Ming Dynasty. The main offices of the Privy Council's Armaments Division, Military Industry Division, and Logistics Division are basically established here.

The city is divided into four gates, and the main road in the city is divided in the middle, which divides Baidi City into four areas. The southeast and northeast of these four areas are the school grounds.

More than [-] soldiers and horses are stationed, while the southwest is a military workshop and an armament warehouse.

There are no less than [-] large-scale workshops in Mingyi Workshop here. In this military town, apart from the generals, the most people are craftsmen.

In addition, there is still the northwest direction, which is a residential area. Some military officers and workshop craftsmen will bring their family here. This is a huge living area.

Baidi Palace is located between the two schools in the southeast and northeast. The Baidi Mountain has the highest terrain. A hunting palace has been built. The palace is not big. If it is placed in Yudu City, it is at most a large mansion, but As far as the military town of Baidi Mountain is concerned, it is considered a palace of extraordinary scale, and it is mainly a convenient place for Mu Jing to live when he inspects the military equipment.

Mu Jing slept in the White Emperor Palace, and he could still hear heavy footsteps outside. This place is different from Yudu City. The night in Yudu City is quiet, but at night here, there are endless shouts and killings.

This is the training speed of Daming Elite.

The princes of today's era, in terms of their military strength, the so-called elites are only a small part. Most of the soldiers are called to fight, and retreat to farm. The combat effectiveness is extremely limited. The only way to distinguish new soldiers from veterans The boundary between those who have been on the battlefield and those who have not, even veterans who have been on the battlefield, who train the army every three days, are all elites.

However, the system of the Ming army is different. The Ming army mainly trains the elite. The soldiers under its jurisdiction are all elite professional soldiers. Practice makes perfect, whether it is physical fitness or battle formation coordination, there is a very large distance from the soldiers and horses outside.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are now the strongest in China, and this is not for nothing.

Of course, this kind of military training also consumes a lot of energy. It's not that the outsiders don't want to follow suit, but they don't have the high productivity of Da Ming. Da Ming's combat prowess shocked the world, but the root of it was Da Ming's national power, which had already far surpassed the Divine State All regions, Hebei, Central Plains, Jiangdong, the combined productivity, including food production and armament production, are far inferior to Daming.

This is the confidence that Daming Chao has the ambition to dominate the world.

"Your Majesty, do you want me to discuss with the envoys Huang and the envoys, and ask them to suspend their training so as not to disturb your majesty's sleep time?"

This time, the person who accompanied Mu Jing was Bie Jia from the Imperial Study Room, who was considered as a core member of the Ninth Floor Building, and was brought out by Huo Yu as a civil servant.

Du Wei, Du Guofu.

He was born in Hongdu school.

The Du family can also be regarded as one of the noble families in Guanghan, but Du Wei's background is not very good, he was a concubine, of course, he was talented and famous when he was young, and later Hongdu School became more and more famous in the southwest, and recruited disciples from all over the world.

Du Wei joined Hongdu School when he was a teenager in Hanzhong.

Later, he was valued by Mujing, and he personally selected him to be by his side. If he participated in the imperial examination, he would at least be a person who can be ranked in the list of Jinshi.

He has been on duty on the ninth floor for some years, and under Huo Yu's teaching, he is quite comfortable with the clerical work of Mu Jing's secretary assistant.

There is a General Administration Department in Zhaoming Pavilion, and the establishment of the General Administration Department is to establish contact with the emperor.

The memorials submitted by various ministries basically passed through the Secretary of General Administration and then entered Zhaoming Pavilion, and then Zhaoming Pavilion read it, and then passed through the Secretary of General Administration and sent it to the nine-story building.

Du Wei has been communicating with the Secretary of General Administration, that is to say, most of the submitted memorandums are sent to Mujing's office by his other driver.

Now that Mujing travels, he rarely stays here with Huo Yu, because Huo Yu is not in good health, and there is an imperial study room on the ninth floor, so many conference halls, archive rooms, and military conference rooms, all of which belong to him. Huo Yu managed, and he couldn't walk away, so he deliberately cultivated some who could take responsibility.

It's a pity that he was optimistic about Jiang Wan, who knew that Jiang Wan ran away halfway, and wanted to open the way for the New Deal, and became a small county magistrate.

Now Huo Yu regards many people on the ninth floor as the objects of training, casts the net widely, and catches as many fish as he can. As long as he has a little ability and knowledge, he will carefully train them.

In terms of the current structure of the Ming Dynasty, the Zhaoming Pavilion is the commander-in-chief court, the political affairs hall, the Privy Council, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are all ranked below, but relatively speaking, the nine-story building is independent.

The world of Daming is still the world of the emperor. The emperor's territory represented by the nine-story building is the highest place in the Daming Palace. There are also many ministries built inside the nine-story building, but all these ministries are different from the ministries in the court hall. , the imperial court's government office faced the whole world, while the nine-story government office only had to face Mu Jing, who was wholeheartedly responsible for Mu Jing, and had the right to promote talents at will to take on important responsibilities.

Du Wei is one of the few people who can stand out and be favored by Huo Yu. This time, Huo Yu personally named him and accompanied Mu Jing to inspect the military equipment, and was in charge of Mu Jing's daily life, including coordinating with the imperial court's memorabilia.

"No need!"

Although Mu Jing also got used to the feeling of being dressed, he still did many things by himself. He picked up the towel that Du Wei handed over, stretched out his feet from the basin, wiped them, and then said: "They can train as they should. They don't have to compromise because of me. I can sleep soundly in the battle of swords and swords. This place feels more secure and won't affect me or anything!"

It is a good thing that the Ming army is trained strictly. Only a well-trained army can go to the battlefield and more people will come back alive.

This has been the truth for thousands of years, and it will never be wrong at any time.

........................

This night, Mu Jing still felt a little uncomfortable. After all, when your ears tremble from the noise, you won't be able to sleep if you want to.

However, Mu Jing was born as a military commander, his kung fu is not very high, and he may not be very strong on the battlefield, but his physical fitness is still enough.

This little influence did not make his spirit any more decadent.

He was still in high spirits in the morning.

In the courtyard inside the palace, wearing a thin long gown, and holding a panlong lance in his hand, he began to dance openly and closed, looking majestic and full of evil spirits.

But this is just a fake move. On the real battlefield, no matter whether it is his skill or moves, he will be directly surpassed by a warrior of the same level.

Speaking of which, this Panlong lance can be regarded as a magic weapon, but it is a weapon that Mujing gathered a lot of manpower and material resources, and used modern casting techniques to forge it.

But in his hands, now he rarely has the opportunity to go to the battlefield to fight, so this magical weapon seems to be a little hidden.

"His Majesty!"

Xi Zhicai did not know when he had already appeared under the eaves of the long corridor, fixed his eyes on Mu Jing's menacing figure, smiled slightly, yelled, and then saluted.

"Zhicai is here!"

Mu Jing accepted the move, and then handed Pan Longqiang to Jin Jiu, took Du Wei's towel, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "I got up pretty early, so I just exercised, but it's a pity that I haven't been on the battlefield for a long time, I want to I can't seem to find the brute force and courage I had when I was killed in Guanzhong back then!"

"It's completely different from the past. In the past, His Majesty was a bereaved dog who had to fight desperately to survive. He should fight hard and die to survive. However, today, His Majesty has tens of thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, and hundreds of thousands of elite troops. If His Majesty is required to personally carry weapons on the battlefield, what kind of eyes do we have to face the people of the world!"

Xi Zhicai smiled and said in a low voice.

"Having said that, I always feel a little lost!" Mu Jing smiled wryly: "It's not that I want to go to the battlefield. In fact, I really hate going to the battlefield. At least I don't want to see the battlefield in my life. It's useless!"

"In this world, no one dares to say that His Majesty is useless. If there is no His Majesty to rule the world, how can the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty secure the world, and why the generals want to conquer the battlefield!"

Xi Zhicai said passionately.

"Are you here today just to flatter me?" Mu Jing was very curious: "It's good to see you Xizhi before you say something to compliment me, oh, I get it, you're here to make amends, and you're afraid I'll wear shoes for you, right?" , although you were a little presumptuous yesterday, but an honest gentleman like me can clearly distinguish between public and private, how could he hold grudges!"

The corner of Xi Zhicai's mouth twitched, he didn't want to come early in the morning to flatter him, but Mu Jing, he knows his personality too well, there is nothing wrong with big things, but there is no virtue in small things, the more you feel that he can't do things , the more he can lose his identity, the more he can do it.

It is unlikely that such things as wearing small shoes are placed on other emperors, because they have to take care of face.

But he doesn't care about face, no matter what he does, other emperors will pay attention to etiquette and take care of the overall situation, but for him, the overall situation must be taken into account, but he can't suffer. Whoever gave him anger, he will get it back Yes, it's a bit of a chivalrous kindness.

"Your Majesty is here today to invite His Majesty to participate in the seventh meeting of the military expansion meeting. We have discussed it many times. The military expansion has begun, and all armies have begun to recruit recruits for training. However, some military registries, establishments , are still a bit vague and need to be discussed!"

Xi Zhicai said.

"I'm actually here to hide from the limelight. Please do me a favor and let me relax on the Baidi Mountain. As for other matters, you can just discuss it yourself. The Zhaoming Pavilion's court meeting has passed. The Privy Council has full power to reorganize the army, reorganize the soldiers, and expand all the powers of the army!"

In fact, Mu Jing didn't really want to move, he just wanted to go to Baidi Mountain to see the scenery. As for the patrolling army, as long as he was here, he would be intimidated, and nothing else was very important.

To be honest, he was very busy in Yudu, but here, he still wants to have a quiet rest.

"Your Majesty, the expansion of the army is a major event. Without His Majesty personally sitting in charge, I am always worried that there will be major problems. Although Chen Deng has many plans, his reputation is still not as good as His Majesty's!"

Xi Zhicai smiled wryly, and after a while, he cupped his hands and said: "Now there is no need for His Majesty to say anything, all you need is for Your Majesty to sit down for a while, at least give us the Privy Council a boost of courage!"

"All right!"

Mu Jing said: "You have already said that, how can I not know how to flatter you, I will clean it up, and then I will go and have a look with you, after we agree, I will sit in on it, and I will not be responsible for the rest. Intervene!"

"Yes Yes!"

Xi Zhicai nodded quickly. As for what happens after he goes there, it’s up to you. If you don’t participate, then don’t participate. Give me some advice, the head office.

Mu Jing has never been the kind of strategist who is particularly good at strategy, but he has a unique vision in this area, especially in terms of army formation, he always has his own unique views, and often these views are better than ordinary people, so his role It is not to make suggestions, but to use his vision to see if there are any loopholes in the Privy Council's plan for the reorganization and expansion of the army this time, and what plans may need to be added.

..............................

The military conference hall is located in the most northeast direction of Baidi Mountain. There is a step up to the northeast school ground, and a hall is built on a lonely hill.

The main hall is empty, without any decorations, only a desk, and then they sit on the floor, relatively speaking, it is very simple.

But this is soldiers, it is not so fancy here, but the layout of the surrounding halls is like a small dock. If you stick to the hall, you need at least six or seven times as many troops to break through.

In the main hall, there are many generals standing, and the positions closest to the desk are also sitting some Zhonglang generals from various ministries, as well as the military industry department, the military equipment department, the logistics department, the military registration department, and other military officials. Many ministers are here.

The leader is naturally Huang Zhong, the Privy Council's envoy and general in charge of the military power of the Ming Dynasty.

Discussions had already started at this time, and the voices of the soldiers were as loud as thunder. Mu Jing was still a dozen steps outside the main hall and could hear the loud voices arguing in the main hall.

The expansion of the army is a good thing compared to the generals in the middle of the army, and it is also an opportunity. To expand the size of the army, more officers are needed. For the officers, it is an opportunity to improve.

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. Every soldier has the desire to make progress, and no one will give up when it is time to fight for it.

The quarrels naturally formed, and most of these generals were rough, even the Confucian generals who were educated, would be wiped out by the melting pot of the army, so when the autumn came, they would open up and close, and quarreled, it was like a battlefield.
