Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

When Wu Yingji thought of this, it was inevitable that his heart would be agitated. As the saying goes, the deeper the understanding, the more shocked he will be.

Zhang Pu had already seen a lot, and left with all his might. When he traveled to Dengzhou, especially when he passed by the Zhaoyuan Mine, he felt shocked when he saw tens of thousands of miners mining gold in the veins. It is unmatched!

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, there were only official mines, and private mines were prohibited. Later, private mines were liberalized, but there were also many restrictions. Compared with the Song Dynasty, the mining industry of the Ming Dynasty must have lagged behind a lot.

The number of copper castings and coins in the Song Dynasty far exceeded that of the Ming Dynasty. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, many copper coins used by the people were from the previous dynasty. The amount of minted money in the dynasty is disappointing, and the mining of iron ore, copper, gold and silver is not satisfactory.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, because the gold and silver ratios in Japan and Europe were higher than in China, a large amount of gold was stolen by various countries, and domestic gold reserves were even more insufficient.Even so, the amount of mining is still seriously insufficient, mainly because the official mines are ignored, private mines are exploited by local officials and wealthy gentry families, and a large number of miners flee, resulting in insufficient mining in private mines. [

In this way, just the Zhaoyuan Mine that Wu Yingji saw produced considerable profits. Just seeing this, Wu Yingji knew that Fushan was just a prosperous military town on the surface, and the The thing under it is really too deep, the entire Fushan Mountain, like a gigantic monster, hides under the water, and the power it contains is really too frightening!

"Ciwei, you have to change the angle, walk around, and look at it more."

To Wu Yingji, You Shiwei smiled very kindly. After all, this Wu also represented a group of people in the Jiangnan context who cared about current affairs. If it was those young men who were chasing after sex for fun, he didn't have the time to answer them.

"It's okay, since the town hall said so, the students will delay for a while..."

"The old man has to explain to the left and right. It's okay to be free. Let's go around with Ciwei."

"So, I really wish for it."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and when they were happy, the sound of golden drums came from the city.

Chilling, tidy, full of might and masculinity.

"Taiwan, this is?"

"Oh, this is the sound of the order drum to summon the troops and prepare to go." The expression on You Shiwei's face also became very solemn.He said slowly: "This old man has been in Dengzhou for nearly two years, and this is the first time I have heard such drumming."

With the bursts of passionate and intensive drumming, after half an hour, the people gathered near the city gate, Fuqian Street and the military camp automatically moved out of the way.

A large number of warriors lined up neatly from the barracks and swarmed out. High flags fluttered in the wind at the heads of each row. The weapon displayed the cold and unquestionable strength of steel, and it made people take a few steps back involuntarily.

In the eyes of the well-informed Wu Yingji, the spirit of these soldiers is second to none after he has traveled all over the country. Everyone has a look in their eyes. This is the light that comes after reading and literacy opens the door to wisdom. Cai, everyone is so tall and strong. He knows that Fushan is strict in recruiting soldiers. You must have a certain height and physical strength to join the army. After enlisting, you have to go through a long period of strict and even cruel physical fitness training... The soldiers in front of me have been in the army for at least one year. Before they joined the army, they were men with qualified physical strength. Eating rough staple food for a long time, every poor person’s teeth are severely worn out, and those over thirty poor people have yellow teeth and rotten teeth in their mouths. Only well-off families can eat polished rice noodles as the staple food, and they know how to protect their teeth. teeth.

With this alone, the Fushan army has already killed any Ming army in seconds.

"30 people form a row, three rows and one column..."

The Fushan Army has a six-level organizational system of five, even, platoon, sentry, team, and battalion. After more than two years of exploration, this organizational system has basically been fixed after a few fine-tuning.

Each sentry is a combat unit, consisting of two spear platoons, half sword players and half iron halberd players to form a cold weapon force, and a platoon of fire gun players for long-range fire strikes.

That is to say, a team of about 450 people has about 120 gunners. In addition, according to the experience of the Huguang battlefield, each sentry will be assigned to four Flang machine guns. For battalion use, each team will have an artillery group consisting of more than ten Flang machine or Hongyi artillery. The specific information is still a military secret. None of the Fushan officers below the post knows the truth, let alone Wu Yingji's travels. the ones.

Of course, what is presented to everyone at this moment cannot be an army armed with guns and live ammunition. Although the weapons are carried by themselves, the tiger squatting cannon or the Frang machine must be loaded on the car, and the lightest cannon weighs fifty or sixty catties. Therefore, it is definitely not realistic to ask people to carry them. They can only be carried on the carts or by mules and horses. [

In addition, the armor was not worn, and the lightest short armor weighed nearly [-] kilograms. After wearing it, it was a heavy burden. Fushan soldiers could wear short armor for long-distance marches for several days. Of course, it was necessary. The situation and the subjects during the training, the normal transfer does not have to be so tossing.

The soldiers of the brigade were carrying various weapons, and they were wearing military uniforms with red tunics and stand-up collars with copper buttons, dark blue trousers and black boots on their lower bodies, showing their mighty aura.

Among the crowd, many young girls cast envious and admiring glances... In Fushan, nothing is as enviable and loved as soldiers. The salary is high, the appearance of the army is beautiful and well-groomed, and when the armor is on, it is even more perfect. the mighty.

Of course, these alone cannot change the accumulated habits of less than a hundred years. The Martyrs’ Shrine and the medal system let people know that it is not easy for soldiers to die in battle for their homeland. Various systems comfort the loyal souls of soldiers who died in war. Guangcai, and the family of the military martyrs was supported, and its status was comparable to that of the former scholar's family.

Only under long-term and deliberate propaganda can the status of soldiers be truly improved. Otherwise, in the inherent thinking of Chinese people, even if it is a general with 10 troops, when Le Shiyan returns, his glory will not be as good as The Luming Banquet that Zhongju went to was even more beautiful. It was the most glorious time in a man's life to be able to win the top three Jinshi and walk Ma Kua Street in Tianjie... This is the deliberate propaganda of literati. After a hundred years, this kind of The concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there is nothing more glorious than being a Jinshi in school, let alone a soldier who is a thief and an army?

This is after the feudal towns at the end of the Tang Dynasty caused disasters to the world, the common people and the literati joined forces to suppress the soldiers who were not low in status all the way. The frontier poems I wrote are more brilliant than the last one, "I would rather be a centurion than a scholar." Such words were praised by some people in the Tang Dynasty. spittle...what the hell are you talking about!

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Di Qing won the battle for the commander. Han Qi was a well-known scholar and general at that time.

Di Qing asked Marshal Han to spare the life of his general, and said that this man had made great contributions to the Xixia campaign and was a good man.

And Han Qi replied indifferently: "I only know that those who have studied for ten years in the imperial examination and Chinese style Qionglin banquet are good men. What kind of good man is a thief with an army?"

Di Qing choked on a single sentence and was speechless. Even though Di Qing was already an important general of one side, the number one brave general known in the court and the public, at this moment, in a civilian tent, he couldn't protect the safety of his lieutenant general, and let Han Qi order Beheading the innocent generals for public display, since then, the status of the Song military generals group at the founding of the country has disappeared, and it has been allowed to be suppressed by civil servants for a hundred years. It was not until the early Southern Song Dynasty that the national structure collapsed for a while. The four generals of Zhongxing appeared, but in the process of changing hands, Zhao Gou killed Yue Fei through Qin Hui and took over the military power of Han Shizhong and other generals. He would rather lose his force than be controlled by a martial artist.

Overt and covert suppression, coupled with institutionalized belittling, the reduction of the status of generals in this dynasty was a matter of Yingzong's reign. The most famous one is the civil engineering change. Up to now, for nearly 200 years, good men do not serve as soldiers, and good iron does not nail It has become a widely circulated and recognized discourse among the people. Zhang Shouren's effort to turn this card over is really too great.

He even carefully studied the position of the buttons of the military uniform, and made every detail perfect. Is this because of his love for beauty?This is really a last resort...

"The Dengzhou garrison is empty..."

Unlike Wu Yingji, who watched the excitement, You Shiwei focused on important details.

According to the scale of platoons, sentries, and teams, troops poured out of their own camps in an endless stream, and then the red flags of the two-foot-high generals came out one after another, which shows that the several generals stationed in Dengzhou were also ordered to dispatch.

In the past, the Dengzhou garrison would gather out of the city like this. At the beginning of the year, there was a wave of pirates. The navy chased them at sea for more than ten days. From Dengzhou, since Zhang Shouren guarded Denglai, all the bandits from all over the country were almost wiped out, and some of them were delivered to their door.

Poor those sea bandits came to Dengzhou somehow, hundreds of them didn't even grab a full meal, they were hacked to death like that.

After what happened last time, that is, part of the soldiers and horses were sent out for camping training, they were all in rotation, and the movement was far less than this time.

"It seems to be Zhang Guohua's military order? But it's not right, he should still be on the way now..."

You Shiwei couldn't figure it out, but it didn't stop him from asking.As the general town of Dengzhou Town, you can't see the whole city's garrison being transferred away and keep silent, right?

Judging from the current scale, all the one and a half battalions stationed in the city will be transferred away. This is an elite force of about 8000 people. Judging from You Shiwei's many years of military experience, if these 8000 people are determined to fight north, they will be defeated. It is very easy to go to the city of Beijing!
