My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

Chapter 39 Sun Chuanting and Cao Wenzhao

"Your Majesty, Chief Military Officers Chen Yin and Chen Ce, Chief Qian Cao Wenzhao, and Shangqiu County Magistrate Sun Chuanting have arrived."

Early the next morning, Zhu Youzheng, who had just returned to Nanhaizi, huddled in a pot with a few soldiers to start dinner, and a young eunuch came to report.

"Four people are here? So soon?"

The white rice tasted delicious. Zhu Youxiao cleaned out the last bite of rice in the bowl and gave the bowl to a soldier.

After returning to the old Yamen, Zhu Youxiao began to clean his mouth under the service of the palace maid.

In this era without dental clinics, the quality of teeth is related to a person's life span.

"Ask Wei Zhongxian to go to the prison and bring Yang Hao to me."

After throwing the toothbrush into the basin, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said.

"Xuan Sun Chuan Ting."

Soon after, a young man wearing a magistrate's robe walked in under the leadership of a young eunuch.

"My Majesty Sun Chuanting, the magistrate of Shangqiu County, respectfully wishes to greet you."

After performing three bows and nine kowtows, Sun Chuanting said loudly.

"I am safe, please be safe."

After throwing down the memorial in his hand, Zhu Youxiao pondered and said.

"What's the point of being in a state of poverty? It's not appropriate to be serious and mediocre in drama. The people of Wufeng are vying to promote Han officials, and I am ashamed of my Ming Dynasty."

"Although there is no resentment in inheriting a clean family, it does not benefit from the hardships of governing the city. If the Holy Lord is waiting at the front table, I am willing to shed blood and tears on Tongchi."

"Did you do this?"

"Back to the emperor, this is what I did when I heard about the defeat of Liaodong last year."

Sun Chuanting was a little surprised that the poem he wrote could be known to the little emperor in the capital.

At this moment, he was not sure what the little emperor meant when he suddenly mentioned this, but he still answered honestly.

"From what you say, you are very dissatisfied with the people employed by the imperial court."

With a smile on his lips, Zhu Youxiao said to Sun Chuanting.

"Sir, I don't dare."

Seeing the little emperor for the first time, Sun Chuanting was extremely nervous at the moment. When the emperor said this to him, he quickly lowered his head.

"I heard that your Sun family gave up martial arts and became civilized?"

"Back to the emperor, my ancestor Sun Cheng was a member of the Zhenwu Guards during the Hongwu period of Taizu. Sun Feng, my sixth ancestor, began to abandon martial arts and study poetry and books, but he did not give up martial arts. And I was also a military student of Zhenwu Guards. , I am willing to hold a spear, mount a horse, and go into battle to kill the enemy for Your Majesty."

"Okay, let's get up."

Waving his hand for Sun Chuanting to get up, Zhu Youxiao leaned on the chair.

"Holy Lord, if you are willing to wait at the front table, I am willing to shed blood and tears."

"I just happen to have such a position at the moment and need to employ people. I wonder if you are willing to do it?"

"I wish your Majesty to go through fire and water."

"Ah."

Nodding, Zhu Youxiao spoke slowly.

"Last year, Xu Guangqi and Xu Aiqing were training troops in Tongzhou. After I ascended the throne, I felt a little worried, so I asked him to move his troops to Nanhaizi, and by the way, he also transferred the Tengxiang Four Guards Camp."

"Now, the leader of the new troops is Du Si Qian Shizhen, but I have other plans for him. I want you to train troops. Are you willing?"

"The minister is willing to go."

"Ah."

Nodding, Zhu Youxiao asked Sun Chuanting to wait beside him, and then said.

"Proclaim Cao's imperial edict."

Soon, Cao Wenzhao, who was waiting outside the door, walked in.

After saluting, Zhu Youxiao observed this person.

Looking at the strong and powerful muscles on his body, you can tell that he is a warrior.

Next to him, Sun Chuanting, although also very tall, had been a county magistrate for many years and was a little frailer.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but admired.

"I checked the memorial and found out that during the Battle of Kaitie last year, there was a General Cao who was very brave. He beheaded more than twenty people by one person. The Divine Ancestor specially promoted him to General Qian. When I saw him today, he was indeed a strong general. "

"I will thank you for your compliments."

Hearing this, Cao Wenzhao quickly thanked him. "Get flat."

Tapping his fingers on the table, Zhu Youxiao said.

"I have a new battalion and need a general. I wonder if Mr. Cao Qian would be willing to share my worries?"

"The general is willing."

Hearing this, Cao Wenzhao quickly raised his hands and responded.

This is to promote himself. You must know that he, President Qian, cannot lead many troops in Liaodong.

"You two come with me."

Standing up from the chair, Zhu Youxiao led the two of them out of the old yamen and onto the high platform of the school grounds.

At this time, Qian Shizhen was already waiting here.

The group of people looked at the soldiers below who were practicing assassination with wooden poles, and Zhu Youxiao suddenly asked.

"Is he considered an elite soldier?"

"This.."

After hearing the emperor's question, Sun Chuanting was born as a Jinshi and was more diplomatic.

"Considered an elite soldier."

After hearing Sun Chuanting's words, Cao Wenzhao muttered a little naively.

"Not murderous."

"Haha."

Zhu Youxiao was stunned when he heard this, and then chuckled.

"I've never been on the battlefield, so I definitely don't have murderous intentions."

With that said, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said.

"The capital camp of the Ming Dynasty has been in decay for many years, and only a handful can be used for great purposes. For the sake of the country and the country of the Ming Dynasty, I will train a new capital camp."

As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao spread out a canvas and explained it to Cao Wenzhao and Sun Chuanting.

After referring to the military establishment of the Tang and Song Dynasties, Zhu Youxiao formulated a new establishment and pay system.

For a team of five people, a team leader is established; for two teams and a team, a leader (ten people) is established.

Ten tithing capital (100 people), the head of the capital and the head of the deputy capital.

The first regiment of Liudu (600 people) was established as a school captain.

Five regiments and one battalion (3000 people, plus commander).

There are five battalions and one guard, with positions such as lieutenant general and lieutenant general (15000 people).

At the same time, there are three battalions of baggage, military law, and martial ethics under each guard.

In the baggage camp (1200 people), the salaries of the Wei Zhong army are distributed directly to the baggage camp from the internal funds (treasury) without going through the hands of the generals, and then directly to the soldiers to prevent middlemen from making the difference and prevent people from short-changing their pay. Drink the blood of soldiers.

Military Law Camp (1500 people), literally, an institution that manages military discipline.

The Wude Camp (300 people), equivalent to the political commissar of later generations, educates soldiers on loyalty to the monarch, but no one has been found to lead this yet.

Ordinary soldiers' monthly salary is [-] taels. Don't think it is low. At this time, you can buy [-] shi of food.

You must know that although the Hunan Army in the late Qing Dynasty received a monthly salary of seven taels, the price of goods at that time was one stone and fifty taels.

In this way, the number of people in one guard has reached 8000. According to the salary set by Zhu Youxiao, raising one guard will require 6000 taels of silver just for the monthly salary of ordinary soldiers.

After explaining the composition of the weave to everyone, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smacked his lips when he looked at the words written on the cloth. He spent several nights on this thing.

"There are only more than 400 people in Nanhaizi now. Xu Aiqing and General Qian have trained these people for more than half a year, and they have begun to look like elite soldiers. This shows that Xu Aiqing's idea of ​​​​training is right. I want you two to use this Based on [-] men, we will integrate the Tengxiang four guard battalions and form the Huben and Baotao guards."

Zhu Youxiao said and looked at the few people specially transferred.

"Cao Wenzhao appointed Huben Guards Zhonglang General."

"Sun Chuanting was appointed as the general of Baotao Guard."

"The minister leads the decree to thank you."

After hearing the emperor's words, Sun and Cao quickly knelt down to thank him.
