Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 111 Yubo Sergeant Martial Arts Level
Eunuch Ma and Yang Dawei, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, lived in Wuzhai Fort, and Huang Laifu built a yard specially for them.Their current state is quite strange, the supervising army is not considered to be supervising the army, nor is it considered as an official of Wuzhai Fort, but they want to live in Wuzhai Fort, and no one said anything.

Of course, only Huang Laifu knew what Eunuch Ma and the others were doing in Wuzhai Fort. According to his discussion with Eunuch Ma, from next year, [-]% of Wuzhai Fort's annual harvest would be handed over to Emperor Wanli.However, Huang Laifu didn't care. He knew that no matter whether it was in the later generations or the current Daming, most of the income of any private enterprise or government-run enterprise could not belong to him. For the current Wuzhai Fort, it is a huge government-run enterprises.

Huang Laifu originally planned to use a large part of the harvest for public relations, and now it is better to give it to the emperor than to some officials.With the support of the emperor, he can do things with confidence and boldness.Unexpectedly, he would partner with the emperor to make money, Huang Laifu couldn't help feeling unbelievable, as if in a dream.

After the news about Huang Laifu's series of promotion rewards was quickly spread to various places through Daming's well-developed residence newspaper system, everyone heard about it, and everyone was very envious of Huang Laifu. One's defense is really rare in Daming. , not to mention that there is a 17-year-old wife in the Huang family, which is a rare honor.

At the end of October, the stories about Wuzhaibao and Huang Laifu spread even further, and the emperor's gratitude to Huang Laifu also spread to everyone's ears. For a while, there were mixed reactions from various places.No matter how everyone discussed, everyone noticed Huang Laifu, a rookie of the Ming Dynasty.Everyone adopts an attitude towards Huang Laifu according to their own position.

Mr. Gao Qi, who was in charge of the army in Kelan, was about to make a change after hearing about the bumper harvest in Wuzhai Fort, but after seeing the report from the mansion, his movements also stopped.

However, the struggle of all parties for the great harvest of Wuzhai Fort is not over yet.Wuzhaibao succeeded in farming, and his direct superiors also had credit. Regarding whether the credit for Wuzhaibao belonged to the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Households, Shi Xing, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Wang Lin, Minister of the Ministry of Households, launched a long-term tug-of-war.

In the end, the result was that, first of all, Liu Jingchun, the commander of Zhenxiwei, and Liu Fuyu, the commander of the capital of Shanxi Dusifu, were commended by the Ministry of War. Mr. Zhang Wenbao, who was in charge, was also commended by the Ministry of Household Affairs.Shi Xing, Shangshu of the Ministry of War and Wang Lin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, were also praised by Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun at the same time, which can be regarded as a happy result.
And when Master Zhang Wenbao, who was in charge of food in the household department of Shanxi Town, sent the waterwheel blueprint craftsmen of Wuzhai Fort to the capital, Emperor Wanli also attached great importance to it, and ordered the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Zeng Tongheng, to promote it to the world.

But to be honest, after getting the actual objects and drawings of Wuzhaibao waterwheels, Minister of the Ministry of Industry Zeng Tongheng was very enthusiastic, but it is quite difficult to promote the various large waterwheels of Wuzhaibao, mainly Wuzhaibao. All kinds of large water trucks are relatively expensive compared to small people, and many ordinary farmers cannot afford them. Perhaps only some large households are able to use the various large water trucks in Wuzhai Fort.

However, some promotion is better than no promotion. Right now is the critical time for winter wheat in the north of Ming Dynasty. After the promotion of waterwheels and other things that make Wuzhaibao a bumper harvest, at least in some places with abundant groundwater, after using waterwheels, it can return to the previous state. A few percent in a good year is not as good as the harvest in good years when the weather was good in the Ming Dynasty, but at least it can alleviate the drought in various places, and a [-]% more harvest can also increase the number of living people.

However, even if the various waterwheels and other things in Wuzhai Fort are popularized in various places in Ming Dynasty, it is far from enough to talk about the same food output as Wuzhai Fort in various places, mainly because Wuzhai Fort uses the production method of large farms , High investment, high harvest.

However, according to the deep-rooted small-scale farming ideas and intensive farming methods in Daming at this time, as well as the reality of the inland counties with more people and less land, it is difficult to replicate the experience of Wuzhaibao in other parts of Daming.Coupled with the famine that lasted for decades, coupled with the abnormal prosperity of commerce, land annexation became more serious, and the gap between rich and poor continued to widen. In this way, the serious food shortage problem in the north of Ming Dynasty still cannot be solved solve.

In particular, there is no solution to the very dangerous refugee problem.In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, millions of refugees flooded into the Jingxiang area, and there were many refugee riots of millions of people. In the 22nd year of Chenghua, the hungry people in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan, and North Zhili flowed southward. , there are tens of thousands of people every day, and it will be even more dangerous when it reaches Wanli.

Right now, in some prefectures and counties near Wuzhai Fort, refugees have also found a new place to escape from famine, and that is Wuzhai Fort.Since the beginning of the autumn harvest, there has been a steady stream of people from all over the world coming to Wuzhaibao to flee famine.There are few people and little land around Wuzhaibao. The reclamation of a large amount of land and the construction of a large number of factories require a large number of people.So at this time, Huang Laifu still welcomes the refugees to come to Wuzhai Fort.Especially in Huang Laifu's plan, he will vigorously develop northern Shanxi and other places in the future, and develop the Hetao area, which requires a large population.

Regarding Wuzhaibao's efforts to absorb refugees, registering local registration and registering them as military households, the court also encouraged them.Anyway, after these refugees escaped from their original place of origin, not only did the court not be able to collect taxes, but it also became a hidden danger to the safety of various places in Ming Dynasty. Being able to stabilize their registration in various places can be regarded as reducing the disaster.

However, what surprised everyone was that after fleeing famine, the refugees from all over the country always strive to become civilian households in their settlements. Only the refugees in Wuzhaibao are scrambling to become military households. At present, the existing military households in Wuzhaibao's household registration have already disappeared. reached several thousand households.

At the end of the year, the Commander of the Shanxi Metropolitan Government, Mr. Liu Fuyu, received the military household registration statistics of Wuzhai Fort this year, and reported the situation. He thought of the seriousness of military households fleeing elsewhere. The situation can be described as a stark contrast.After this situation was disseminated through the well-developed mansion newspaper system in Ming Dynasty, it also aroused the attention and thinking of many people.

For the time being, Huang Laifu can't take care of the aftermath of the great harvest in Wuzhaibao. He is intoxicated with joy now because Gu Yunniang is happy.This is a big event. In addition to the celebrations in the Garrison Mansion, everyone inside and outside the castle who consider themselves important also sent congratulatory gifts one after another.

In Daming at this time, if a main wife is pregnant, it is a very big matter. Right now, Gu Yunniang is rarely out of the house, and only sometimes helps Yang Butler look at the account books at home. Because Gu Yunniang is literate, Huang Laifu originally wanted She helped Steward Yang manage the accounts, but now she can only tell Gu Yunniang to rest as much as possible.

※※※

March 1590, 11 AD.

The weather was a bit chilly, but at this time, the racecourse outside Wuzhai Fort was full of heat.

Now the sergeants of Wuzhaibao have completed two months of training in formation, orders, and military discipline.Now, it's time to practice killing the enemy.

According to Qi Jiguang's military training method, he first practiced individual martial arts, and then practiced camp marching and tactics.

When practicing, start from the requirements of actual combat, how to fight in wartime, and how to practice in peacetime.Practice on the playground first, and then practice in the field.The practice of martial arts includes: mental strength training - fighting spirit, hand strength training - skillful use of weapons, foot strength training - marching, physical strength training - load-bearing and other specific content.

Various training methods are included in Qi Jiguang's military training records and Ji Xiao's new book. In order to practice better, Huang Laifu paid a lot of money to hire some martial arts instructors from Shanxi towns and cities.

Take a small flag as an example. The small flag has a bow and a sword, and the bird gunner has a bird gun and two-handed long swords.The rattan player has a rattan card and a waist knife.A wolf's whisk has a wolf's whisk in his hand.Pikemen have bows and spears.Short soldiers have waist knives in their hands, and these people must be familiar with the weapons in their hands.

As the saying goes, those with high skills are bold, but those who are afraid of enemies are still shallow, and those who are good at fighting must be skilled.In order to better stimulate everyone's enthusiasm, Huang Laifu learned from Qi Jiguang and adopted a hierarchical system. The practice scores of each sergeant are divided into nine grades. Those who can study hard and are proficient in martial arts will be promoted to soldiers.Soldiers who are lazy, do not practice martial arts, and who are unfamiliar with orders will be punished.

There is a test every month, and the way of assessment is to fight against each other.Everyone fights, and if they win, they will be promoted to a higher level and rewarded with one point of silver.If you lose, you will be demoted to one level, and you will be punished with five army sticks.Link the quality of martial arts training with personal interests.


Under this measure, the soldiers of Wuzhai Fort aroused great enthusiasm.

This is martial arts practice. In other words, the proficiency of weapons is also related to the strength of the body.The physical strength is naturally closely related to the usual nutrition. Of course, in Wuzhai Fort, the nutrition of the soldiers is absolutely no problem. , all of them have ruddy complexions, and they have endless strength.

At this time, it is mainly fighting with cold weapons. At this time, the exercise of arm and arm strength, the push-ups, sit-ups and other exercise methods used in the era of hot weapons in later generations are not very useful.Huang Laifu stipulated that each sergeant should lift the stone lock fifty times in the morning, morning, and afternoon to exercise the muscles in his hands.

As for mental strength training, apart from the best effect of honing on the battlefield, it is honed in a difficult environment. At this time, winter in Wuzhai Fort is coming, and the coldest time will reach tens of degrees below zero.For Daming at this time, every winter, whether it was sergeants or battalion soldiers from all over the country, they would spend the winter in the barracks, even the Hu people who were hardy outside the Great Wall were the same.

However, Huang Laifu decided to challenge the limit, and will carry out training for the sergeants in the cold field.After such a winter, the army of Wuzhai Fort must undergo a radical change!
