Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

"The group messes around with the universe, and guards against sincerity.

There is no Luan letter on the island, and the sound of chickens is turned off in the township.

The righteous teacher promotes Jixiu, and his arrogance shakes the long whale.

The flags go out from Jingxiang, and the swords and soldiers are bright.

When I heard that the color was moving, I was overjoyed and shocked.

The original sweep of the fishy smell, and the recovery of Yan Haojing.

More tribute roads were opened, and the surrender city was built. "

--------Zhu Jin "Wearing the West Anyway Happily Sings the Words of Honesty"

In the 28th year of Yongli in the Ming Dynasty, the 13th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, and in May [-] after the birth of the Lord of the Western Calendar, Zhu Jin led his bodyguard Feng Xifan, Bingbuzanhua Chen Shengwu, and official Hong Lei to Xiamen from Taiwan.There was chaos in San Francisco, and the Qing army guarding Xiamen had no fighting spirit. Seeing Zheng Jun's massive attack, they surrendered without a fight.Zhu Jinqi was successful, and he was so proud that he sent people to Fuzhou to ask Geng Jingzhong for Zhangzhou, Quanzhou and the promised "Fujian coastal warships".

At this time, Geng Jingzhong already has the whole of Fujian and stretches out his tentacles of desire to Zhejiang. Naturally, he is unwilling to spit out what already belongs to him and give it to others.But he was also afraid that Zheng Jun would be dissatisfied because of this. He was behind the chaos in Fujian when he sent troops to Zhejiang, so he first sent his cronies to Xiamen to spy on Zheng Jun's strength in the name of contact, so as to decide how to deal with it.It turned out that Zheng Jun's vanguard troops were less than [-] soldiers and only [-] ships, and their strength was extremely limited, so they had no scruples at the moment. The warships and navy were handed over to Zhu Jin for dispatch.

Zhu Jin, who was excited, was hit head-on by this, and immediately became angry from embarrassment, so he recruited Zhao Desheng, the general of Haicheng, Zhang Xueyao, and Hua Shanglan to demonstrate.Seeing that the two counties changed hands, Geng Jingzhong retaliated by restoring the border closure order in the Fujian and Zhejiang-controlled areas and cutting off trade with Taiwan.

Although Zheng Kezang was very dissatisfied with Zhu Jin's deeds, such as Zhu Jin's actions, he was still too young to intervene in the war, let alone affect the grand strategy of Ming Zheng's Western Expedition. Zheng Kezang, who is well aware of this, can only start from scratch honestly, step by step.

Now that he decided to start down-to-earth, Zheng Kezang came to the signing room of Chen Yonghua, who was the chief envoy of Dongning at the time and was in charge of Zhu Jinxi's military and civilian affairs in the eastern capital after Zhu Jinxi's expedition. Although this was not the first time the two met, it can be said that it was The closest contact came: "Mr. Chen, I don't know how the recruitment of the boy camp is going."

"Eldest son, don't worry, the king has given an explanation before leaving."

Although Chen Yonghua, who was in a state of desperation for the supply of soldiers and supplies for the Western Expeditionary Army, was extremely busy all day long, but he had already figured out Zhu Jin's mind, and he still attached great importance to the amazing performance in the Yinluan Palace. , so even this joking boy camp also received his strong support.

"The number of people has been almost recruited. There are 150 people in total. They are all boys who are about the same age as the eldest son. They will be here in a few days. Those who arrived earlier have been arranged in the barracks left by Liwu Town. I don't know what the eldest son is. What else can I ask for?"

Chen Yonghua's attitude was modest, and he didn't rely on Zheng Kezang's old age at all. Zheng Kezang was naturally very satisfied with this, so he inquired: "I wonder if the military coach has made proper arrangements? Also, it is often said that half-sized children will be eaten to death." Lao Tzu, I don’t know how the food, fodder and supplies are arranged? How about the ordnance?”

Chen Yonghua took a deep look at Zheng Kezang. He originally thought that the so-called boy camp was just a whim of a teenager, but he didn't think that Zheng Kezang was thinking a lot more, and it was completely like building a regular new army. Do not doubt the real intention of the other party's move.But thinking about it again, no matter how extraordinary Zheng Kezang's performance is, after all, he is only 12 years old now, and except for a few thirteen and fourteen-year-old half-children in the boy camp, they are all Zheng Kezang's peers, and Chen Yonghua secretly laughed at himself. Suspicious.

"Fifty army veterans have been dispatched from various towns to serve as instructors in the boy camp. Armaments can also be obtained from the Ministry of War as needed. As for the monthly food and fodder, it is allocated like ordinary soldiers. However, Dongning's savings are limited, and he still needs to supply the king. For the use of the army, the financial resources are quite tight, so the boy camp does not pay any money, the eldest son Wan hopes to forgive."

Zheng Kezang was quite satisfied with Chen Yonghua's answer to the question about instructors and armaments, but he was a little dissatisfied with the lack of military pay, but what the other party said was the truth. Taiwan has only two states to gamble on the mainland for hegemony. It is indeed already hundreds of dollars If you put on extra weight, you must save as much as you can in other areas.

"Mr. Chen, it's okay not to pay the money, but there are still a few patterns of silver medals here, please ask someone to cast them." Zheng Kezang took out a stack of paper patterns from his arms, this is the medal he designed pattern. "The size and specifications are marked on the drawing, and it is not necessary to use pure silver. Silver lead and copper lead are half and half, but each kind needs to be cast a few more."

Chen Yonghua took the pattern and looked at it. The format was not complicated, but the lower half of the original square hole coin was changed to a solid one, with words such as Wu Yong, Zhongqin, Shengjie, and Champion written on it, but he didn't understand these things. I subconsciously thought that this was fake money used by Zheng Kezang as a reward, so I persuaded him with a bit of a headache.

"Eldest Prince, the method of money and banknotes is related to the root of Dongning. If the King finds out, he will definitely punish the Eldest Prince for messing around."

"Mr. Chen misunderstood." Zheng Kezang explained. "Kezang once read "Tongjian" and knew that before the Tang Dynasty, there was a theory of honored officials, and the country was abolished, so he deliberately re-established it in the boy camp as an incentive. However, the twelfth transfer of honored officials involved the power and position of the court, and Ke Zang did not Dare to be selfish, so change one or two, and make medals, martial arts medals for those with profound martial arts skills, loyalty medals for those who persist in training every day, victory medals for the winners of all teams, and champions, as the name suggests, with holes in the upper section for easy tying Into the ribbon, the ribbon hangs on the neck, it can be said to be the attention of thousands of people, and can inspire others to strive for victory."

The more Chen Yonghua listened, the more surprised he became. Is this something that a 12-year-old child can come up with?It's incredible!

However, in view of the possible impact of these inconspicuous silver and bronze medals on the reward and punishment system in the army, even Zheng Kezang, who is the son of the vassal, cannot easily satisfy his personal request. Only the Jin ruling can be made.

Of course, Chen Yonghua would not inform Zheng Kezang of his decision in person, but just perfunctory: "Well, that servant will order Yousi to cast a batch and send it to the eldest son later, but the eldest son will wait for a few days. "

Zheng Kezang did not expect that Chen Yonghua would be Pili Yangqiu, so he cupped his hands happily: "Then thank you, Mr. Chen."

Chen Yonghua hurriedly put on an air of duty-bound to share the worries of the superiors: "The eldest son said this, but he will break the servant."

"Mr. Chen is an important minister of the father and king. He shoulders the heavy responsibility of the Western Expeditionary Army, and now he has to work hard for Yu Xingzhi. It is also appropriate to say thank you." Zheng Kezang knows that he will return in the next few years He had to rely on Chen Yonghua's strong support, so he kept talking well. Of course, he also knew that too much was too much, so he changed the subject after a few words. "By the way, Mr. Chen, my father will definitely fight in Fujian." Chen Yonghua nodded without knowing why. "Would it be like the war mentioned above, with blood flowing for thousands of miles and thousands of people displaced?"

Chen Yonghua looked at Zheng Kezang in astonishment, his brain turned sharply, and he quickly said something calm and steady: "My lord, this move by the king is to punish the people and punish crimes. It is in accordance with the sky. Don't dare to be manhandled. Some clowns are willing to be traitors, and they are also swaying, and the scene that the young master mentioned will not happen."

"Oh!" Zheng Kezang responded with a smile that was not a smile, his eyes fluttered and he didn't know what to think about. Chen Yonghua subconsciously looked at the sun outside the window. When deciding whether to tactfully dismiss the guest, Zheng Kezang sighed. "I thought I could recruit some boys of similar age from the refugees to join the army. It turns out that there is no need to fight." Chen Yonghua couldn't help smiling, he looked like a teenager. "Mr. Chen, I want to take a look at the barracks in Liwu Town. I wonder if I can send someone to lead the way."

"Look at what the eldest son said," Chen Yonghua was eager to drink, and immediately directed to the outside. "Come here," a junior general in his thirties flashed out. "Take the eldest son to check the barracks left in Liwu Town." Zheng Kezang gave a salute and followed the obedient general and walked out. Chen Yonghua picked up the paperwork that was placed on the side and just read a few words before frowning. stand up. "No, no, why do you feel that there is a mystery in what you just said?"

Zheng Kezang rode a pony under the restraint of the general, took a dozen servants and guards out of the city for four or five miles, and arrived at the original Liwu Town garrison in Sankunshen.Taiwan adopts the policy of integrating soldiers and civilians. Each town actually has its own reclamation land. The so-called barracks are just a temporary residence during intensive training. Now it is vacant because the main force of Liwu Town has gone west.Of course, with the arrival of some boys' camps, the barracks, which had been deserted not long ago, were still very lively. Although many energetic teenagers were still crying to go home at night, they were happy to fight and fight in broad daylight.

"Look, there are people coming again." The team of Zheng Kezang and his party was still very large, especially Zheng Kezang was still riding a horse, so a large group of children were soon attracted to watch. "Hey, which family's young master is it again? Look, the instructors all ran over to greet him."

"It's nothing to ride a horse. I also have horses at home." A dark-skinned boy spat on the ground. "No matter how powerful his family is, it's still the same here. If you dare to put on airs with us, we will teach this kid with our fists."

"Fighting? Not good." A thick-headed fat boy patted his head. "I heard from my father that this is the new army trained by the eldest son. It follows military regulations. If it is a private fight, you will be whipped. The whip hurts the buttocks."

"The new army? They are all teenage dolls who fight and train soldiers?" A child who looked older laughed. "My father said that the eldest son is bored and just wants to find some companions to play with. How can the eldest son hang out with us every day, so as long as the eldest son is not here, no one cares about what he does."

Zheng Kezang naturally didn't know what those boys were talking about, and he got off his horse and was lecturing to the leader of the thirty instructors: "First, break up the formation after everyone is here, don't let them Second, get up on time every day, go to bed on time, when to ask the master to teach them how to read, when to practice martial arts, when to eat, and take a bath. How to punish, if it is for selfishness, then I will punish you instead."

"The general understands." The general named Sun Youlao hurriedly agreed. In his opinion, this is a great opportunity in his life. If he seizes the opportunity, he will rise to the top. Naturally, he will not stop following Zheng Kezang. pace.

"Yu will write down the specific drills. Before that, you arranged them to run laps every day." Zheng Kezang said, pointing to the flat Yanwu Ping. "Three times a day, [-] laps each time." Sun Youlao's face turned pale, no wonder he was timid, this lap is less expensive, and he ran ninety miles a day without killing these half-grown children But Zheng Kezang didn't hesitate at all. "It can be done step by step, starting with five laps, but every time the last ten runners are punished, they will be punished for cleaning the dormitories of the day."
