The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 118 Liang Asheng!
The neat slogans resounded, and Zhu Hongyu nodded in satisfaction.

Although the training time is still short, these soldiers have learned to walk in the right direction, and their slogans are also very imposing, and they have such a military demeanor!
After watching the new recruits go straight, Zhu Hongyu went to inspect the training of the veterans.

Compared with the simple goose step training for recruits, the training for veterans is much more complicated and there are more subjects.

Including armed cross-country, physical training, formation change, infantry coordination and other training items.

Looking at the fighting power displayed by the veterans of the Restoration Army during the training, Zhu Hongyu nodded with satisfaction, and praised the officers of the Restoration Army who were in charge of the army training.

Among the generals of the Restoration Army, there is indeed no such amazing military genius as a famous general.

Most of them are just normal people, the normal kind.

However, there are also ordinary people benefits for ordinary people.

That is obedient, what to do!
Now Zhu Hongyu is quite satisfied with the generals of the recovery army, although there is no military genius like Li Dingguo among them.

But they are obedient, they can act according to the plan on the battlefield, and they can let the army complete the training without any compromise in ordinary training.

That's enough!
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Hongyu went to inspect the barracks, food, and ordnance of the Restoration Army.

In terms of barracks, there are newly built wooden houses, beds, bedding, pillows, etc., which are basically brand new.

The food is also good, white rice is full, there are certain fruits, and meat such as chicken, duck and fish are supplied.

In Luzon, the climate is hot and the products are abundant. The land is cultivated three crops a year, and there is no shortage of food if there is anything lacking.

The same is true for fruits, all kinds of tropical fruits, there are many in the mountains!
In the diet of the Restoration Army, there is more meat and fish. The reason is that the camp of the Restoration Army is near the sea and not far from the coastline.

Where there is a place near the sea, there will be no shortage of fish to eat!

All in all, the meals of the Liberation Army were pretty good.

The recruits were thin and weak because they had only been in the camp for a short time, and the nutrients they lacked in their bodies could not be replenished in a short period of time.

And those veterans who have been training for a period of time, it is because of eating well, coupled with high-intensity training.

All of them are covered with lumpy flesh, and they look very strong.

After finishing his inspection of the army, Zhu Hongyu returned to the camp and began to ponder the details of establishing a military government.

……

Liang Asheng was the youngest child in the family. His parents gave birth to seven or eight children one after another, and he was the only one who stood up.

It seems that he is a baby bump, who was spoiled and raised by his family since he was a child.

Even though Liang's family was not well-off, his father made money by doing hard labor for others, and his mother made a living by farming and weaving. He had never been short of food and clothing since he was a child.

From time to time, you can also eat some meat!
Even when Liang Asheng became sensible at the age of six or seven, his father even spent money to let Liang Asheng learn to read and count with the accountant hired by his boss.

In the future, don't be like yourself. If you don't know if you are a shoulder pole, you will be blind.

If it weren't for the red hair in Manila, the Chinese would not be allowed to build private schools in Manila and study Confucian classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics.

Liang Asheng's father was afraid that it would be unavoidable, he would send his son to school to lose his book bag.

Liang Asheng is also considered to be up-to-date, he has lived up to the expectations of his parents, he is quick-witted, smart and eager to learn, and he has mastered basic reading and writing skills in a short period of time.

However, what Liang Asheng's father didn't expect was that the accountant hired by the owner not only could read, write and count, but was also good at mechanics.

Under the influence of Mr. Accountant, Liang Asheng gradually embarked on a road of no return in the eyes of his parents.

Crazy obsessed with the study of mechanical engineering!
I don't know when it started, but I didn't leave the door every day, and I didn't go out the door. Except for eating and resting, I just stayed in my room and studied his crap.

He beat him and scolded him, but Liang Asheng didn't change at all.

His parents regretted it very much in their hearts, and felt that they should not send their son to learn how to read and count with the accountant.

This is great, a good son has become a "everyone's lady"!
It's okay for my old couple to be alive now, and they can support him, but if my old couple dies of old age, how can I live alone!

On this day, Liang Asheng's father was exhausted and returned to his small home.

The old wife had already prepared dinner, and there were three plates, one big, two small, on the table, and the big plate contained cornmeal pancakes.

The two small plates are filled with emerald green kelp shreds and small fried fish the size of a pinky finger.

Compared with the life I lived under the rule of Hongmao, it is simply an earth-shaking change!

The Chinese are hardworking and able to endure hardships. In a place with abundant products like Luzon, it is reasonable to say that they should not go hungry.

But no matter what, the Spaniards levied heavy taxes specifically on the Chinese.

So that the Chinese in Manila generally do not live very well!
But on the side of the Guangfu Army, Zhu Hongyu wanted to stabilize people's hearts and promote development.

With a wave of his hand, he learned from Li Wanwan and came here for a three-year absence.

Not to mention the agricultural tax within three years, he is not even planning to collect commercial tax.

Zhu Hongyu's method was very decisive, and the effect was obvious. More and more Chinese left the Spaniards' rule and moved to the Restoration Army's rule.

The quality of life of the Chinese people under the rule of the Restoration Army has been improved visible to the naked eye!
Even in order to attract the population, Zhu Hongyu adopted a tax reduction policy for the aborigines.

As long as you come, I will give you a tax cut. No matter how much tax the Spaniards charge you, I will only charge half of it here.

The effect is obvious, and the consequences are equally obvious!

The consequence is that the finances of the Liberation Army have been in a tight state.

It all depends on the sale of iron materials from the Restoration Army and the proceeds captured in the war.

In a short period of time, the Liberation Army has enough money to meet its needs, but in the long run, it will definitely not work.

Unless Zhu Hongyu can find a new source of income!

……

Following the yelling of his parents, Liang Asheng walked out of the room with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, exhausted all over his body.

Glancing at the food on the table, he sat down and began to eat and drink.

Liang Asheng's parents looked at each other, and Liang Asheng's father spoke.

"Ah Sheng, the Restoration Army is preparing to recruit officers recently. After the general establishes a military government, the exam will be held."

"If you pass the exam, you can become an official!"

"Father signed up for you, so go and try it out!"

"Now your father and mother are still alive and can support you, but your father and mother are already old and can't live for a few years. After my two elders die, how will you live!"

Liang Asheng's father persuaded him earnestly.

His mother also spoke on the sidelines.

"Mother is old, and she can't work for a few years even if she gritted her teeth. Even if father and mother don't need you to support them, you have to support yourself!"

Liang Asheng showed a bit of impatience on his face, but he couldn't bear it when he saw the old look and expectations on his parents' faces.

After hesitating for a while, he still whispered.

"I listen to father and mother!"

After agreeing to his parents' request, Liang Asheng quickly finished his meal, and then went straight back to his house, not intending to say anything more to his parents.

The whole person seems very introverted and dull!
The husband and wife looked at each other, and both saw the deep helplessness in each other's eyes.

This son is raised crookedly!
