At the end of the Ming Dynasty, I freely traveled through Yangshen

Chapter 54
Wu Xiang was amazed when he heard this. He first praised Zhu Cixi, and then continued, "Although this kind of insight is not very profound, those civil servants still don't understand it. They always think that they can do it themselves. Isn't this just a daydream?" The matter of dispatching soldiers and generals has always been to contain the whole body, and to change soldiers and generals as soon as they come. How can this be done? If you want to form an army from a ragtag army, you must have enough grassroots officers, and they must be well-integrated, enough The armament of the army must not explode, and there must be enough ringing silver and less empty space. My Ming Dynasty is better at this than the rogue bandits. The rogue bandits are essentially a group of mud-legged people. There is no military discipline, standard armaments, and even the guys in their hands. Everything is robbed, and there are obviously not enough officers to manage it. The battle is like a swarm. It looks like there are many people, but in fact it is scattered. So this is why the rogue bandits are fine when fighting with the wind, but after fighting against the wind, they are defeated like a mountain. .”

Speaking of this, Wu Xiang's expression became a little proud, "But the prince has found the right person. The old Wu family has been serving in the army for generations. These servants under him are fighting the Tatars with real swords and guns in Shanhaiguan." I have passed, my blood skills have been trained, and on the battlefield, I have to line up neatly, ride horses, shoot guns, fire cannons, use swords and guns. These servants of the minister are very capable, so I am confident that with the servants of the Wu family as the core, Lord Governor Wang’s strong men are the final section, and with a little training, you can create an army with some combat effectiveness."

"However, such an army can't fight tough battles. It's not a big problem to defend the city or lead the way to break through the siege. It can also be used to suppress the forces inside the city of Beijing. It shouldn't be any honors, gangs, or sects. The opponents of these people, as long as they have a force that can at least suppress noble courtiers, then the emperor will be able to bring up the matter of moving to the south in a legitimate way."

Wu Xiang is a bit treasonous when he says this now. If the courtiers hear it, the Wu family's servants will train the army to suppress the noble courtiers. The memorials of these civil servants must not fly all over the sky. The imperial envoy's saliva can drown Wu Xiang and nuke Wu Sangui. The cabinet will also be filled with memorials for the position of commander-in-chief.

These words basically offended all the noble and civil servants in the imperial court except the harem and chamberlain.

But he, Wu Xiang, was willing to go all out. Since the emperor already wanted to order southward relocation, and promised his daughters to the crown prince to be his wife, and he was already a relative of the emperor, what else could he care about?Then go ahead, go all the way with the emperor, even if you are against all the courtiers, as long as the emperor supports him and the crown prince supports him, Wu Xiang will be fine no matter what.

Wu Xiang, who had been deceived by Zhu Cixiang and made up his mind to fight against the Ming Dynasty's civil servants and generals, did not expect that Zhu Cixiang had no intention of returning this force to Emperor Chongzhen. This army had to be controlled by him.

So the actual situation is that with the support of the crown prince Zhu Cixiang, Wu Xiang made preparations to fight against the Ming Dynasty's civil and military generals all over the world.

This is really not clear about being fooled, they were all limped by Zhu Cihong.

"Okay, now that my father-in-law has said that, my son-in-law can rest assured."

Having said this, Zhu Cixiang wanted to see his group of people who were about to form an army. He turned to Wang Chengen and asked, "Wang Banban, how much did you pay these people for a day?"

Zhu Cixiang thought about how these people would have to enter the world of Yangshen with him after a little running-in. If these people were not fed and acted disloyally, if some of the Qianlai people went to hide somewhere in the Izumo Kingdom, would he still look for them? not coming?
So now Zhu Cixiang has to let these people take care of him. They all think of his prince and work for him wholeheartedly.

"Back to Chitose, except for the Dongchang and Jingjun who have their own loudspeakers who can listen to orders without extra cost, the rest of the strong men and the veterans of the Yongwei Battalion and the old slaves are uniformly paid two hundred dollars a day to each of them. Take care of two meals.”

At this stage in the late Ming Dynasty, the government's control over local areas had been relaxed to an outrageous degree. Some private individuals were also secretly minting copper coins. Therefore, under the law of bad coins chasing good coins, the value of copper coins was actually higher than that of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. It was much lower at that time. Among the copper coins, only those made of high-quality copper materials had the normal value of the early Ming Dynasty, or even higher. However, Wang Chengen would not be so generous. He only went out to recruit people this time. The money is just a small amount of ordinary copper.

Ordinary small money is worth one tael or so around 30 fen. Two hundred fen per day is equivalent to three-thirds and six strands of silver. Based on [-] days, it is almost one tael of silver, which is about the same as the average Ming army's one tael of silver per month. But it's lower than Guan Ningjun's one, two or four cents.From here we can know what kind of impression Zhu Cixiang would have on a low-level person like Ebi Laoliu by giving him half a tael of silver as a reward. Although one tael of silver in the Yangshen World can be exchanged for a thousand copper coins, let’s see It seems that in the Ming Dynasty, one tael of silver was exchanged for [-] copper coins, but in the world of Yangshen, one penny could buy a big sesame seed cake, which was much more valuable than one penny in the Ming Dynasty.

The purchasing power of two hundred coins in the Ming Dynasty is only enough to cover the belly. In the world of Yangshen, although the purchasing power of copper coins is high, the people who work on the docks in Izumo Kingdom can only get two or three coins a day at most, and they can only buy things. It can only keep a whole family from starving to death, but the two are actually similar.

Therefore, no matter it is the Ming Dynasty or the Yangshen World, the people at the bottom will always suffer the most. The top people in the Yangshen World are immortals who can live for thousands of years just like playing. But in the Great World, the people at the bottom like Hai Laoliu are not. Or were they forced to live by the sea and fish for a living? In the world of the Ming Dynasty, the West had obviously produced very advanced and exquisite clocks, the Renaissance, and modern science had also sprouted. But in the East, there were still farmers who had to eat Being unable to afford food, he was forced to join the peasant uprising.

If the Ming Dynasty opens a passage that allows ordinary people to cross the two worlds in the future, then the poor people in the Yangshen World may sneak into the Ming Dynasty and use the money saved in the Ming Dynasty to consume in the Yangshen World, just like in the 21st century , going abroad to work is the same as returning home to buy a house.

Of course, this is just an afterthought.

"Okay, let me go and see who these people are!"

Zhu Cixiang decided to go see these people. He stood up and asked Wang Chengen to lead the way.

……

The composition of the people Wang Chengen summoned to wait for the announcement in the school was actually very complicated.

There are more than 300 eunuchs of the Pure Army who are capable of shooting guns, more than 100 veterans who have retired from the front line and came from the Yongwei camp. Some of these veterans are very young and have gray hair, and there are more than 100 Dongchang Tiqi, also known as special agents. There are only three to four hundred strong men in Jinyiwei who don't look very thin.
