As soon as Wang Yang and Wang Zhengzhi returned to the Jinyiwei, they explained to their confidants:

"I have someone kill the official secretly, leave some clues to implicate those scholars, and then say that those scholars bought murderers and must sue them to the county government, and then say that this matter is related to the case we investigated, so you can get the people directly."

"Prepare more ironclad evidence to cover up the population at that time, and make it a bad case, and all of them will be dealt with!"

"Yes, sir."

Obviously, it won’t take long to spend the second half of these brainless guys in prison. Well, it’s good to be sentenced to life imprisonment.

It is estimated that the heads fell to the ground and the possibility of injury in the death row is greater.

Of course, Zhu Zilong would not worry much about such trivial matters. He now realizes more that military power is the fundamental one.

On the same day, things were arranged to inspect the surrounding military garrisons!

In the north of Ming Dynasty in autumn, the weather was already very cold. When the north wind blew over, it made people shake their whole body. Zhu Zilong arrived first was the Haishan Guard!

After looking at the military households below, most of them shrank into a group, stomped their hands and feet, and they didn't look like a soldier at all. Zhu Zilong just locked his eyebrows.

What's even more scamming is that there are 323 people on the military list. I don't know if there are 250 people in the field, six team leaders, and none of them have forty people in one team.

Half of these people are old and weak, all of them are torn military uniforms, many of them are pale and thin, wearing thin military uniforms, trembling in the cold wind, and even the weapons on their hands are rusted, which are obviously not maintained.

If such military soldiers were taken out to fight, they would be described in modern terms, commonly known as "War Five Slags".

They will thank God if they don’t drag your army down!

Putting it into the army is a waste of food.

When these people came into contact with Zhu Zilong's eyes, they were all numb, and there was no expression on their faces. It seemed that these people were useless. They were not much better than beggars!

The only thing is that the officers in charge of each team and the servants next to the officers. Each team has eleven, and the two are mostly young and strong, with complete armor and weapons. However, their array discipline is also sparse, and they are a typical mob.

If the combat effectiveness of the military households is to fight against the Five Slags, at best they can fight against the Five Slags, or they will still be scumbags.

However, what makes people speechless is.

Such military soldiers have become the main combat force in various garrisons in the Ming Dynasty.

"TM, no wonder the Ming Dynasty was destroyed back then. It's a scam!" Zhu Zilong thought speechlessly.

Zhu Zilong was observing the military households, and the military households were also observing Zhu Zilong and the elite Zhu family army standing behind him.

Behind Zhu Zilong, some soldiers of the Zhu family army were young and stout. They were especially disciplined. They were wearing armor and stood solemnly in the cold weather.

They lined up in five or six horizontal lines, each with more than a dozen people, no matter from which perspective, they were a straight line.

Although it was very cold, they were breathing strong white air from their mouths, but they didn't move, letting the snowflakes float on their bodies. They all looked serious and looked ahead. There were only Zhu Zilong and the people in front of them!

This kind of military discipline and appearance made the military households afraid when they saw it. They were completely unable to raise their courage to fight with the soldiers of the Zhu family army. Compared with them, they were two extremes!

Several thousand general officials in the military households watched with them, and they looked at them in their hearts. After comparison, they were full of dislikes.

After watching the audience for a long time, Zhu Zilong said in a deep voice: "Everyone, why are the military affairs in the fort so devastated?"

A thousand households stepped forward and clasped their fists helplessly and said in a deep voice: "Reply to the marquis, training troops requires money, food and salary, and there is insufficient food and rice in the fort, so the officials are powerless!"

Yes, lack of money and the gap between the rich and the poor is too large, which is another social problem.

Zhu Zilong sighed. The army camps in the early Ming Dynasty could almost fully meet the needs of the entire army, so the soldiers were strong and the soldiers were at ease. However, after the Xuande year, the army of the garrison fled in large numbers, and a large number of troops were recruited as garrisons, and the original land was transferred to the garrisons to farm.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the army was generally filled with the army, and Yu Ding distributed the troops. The affairs of military households and garrisons and forts became completely a burden and could no longer form an army!

The Ming Dynasty's garrison system used military garrisons to ensure their self-sufficiency and hereditary guarantees the source of soldiers. This is like the construction corps at the beginning of New China, which has benefits but no harm.

This characteristic of the Wei Sect system is in line with the specific historical conditions in the early Ming Dynasty. Years of war led to a large amount of wasteland in the early Ming Dynasty, and the government was able to redistribute the land and directly divide a large amount of land into the jurisdiction of the Wei Sect, with sufficient guarantees for military garrisons.

This is similar to the Taizu of New China, who fought against local tyrants and divided the land, which seemed to be a copycat.

However, in the late Yongle period, the military camp system began to be destroyed. After Xuande, the military officials occupied the military camp land, and private service soldiers farmed frequently. In other words, officials were worse than the previous generation, and the encroachment of military households, corrupt officials have always been the biggest cancer of a country.

It can be said that one of the economic foundations of the Weishou in the Ming Dynasty was that if "the army was sold out and there was no one who had farmed, there would be insufficient food for the garrison. The number of people was seated for food was even more insufficient food for the garrison. Therefore, it would be more beneficial to the people's food, salt and grain, and the transportation of the capital, and the system of the Weishou would be destroyed."

Under the vicious cycle, in order to support their servants, officers not only carried the food and wages, but also encouraged the existence of this phenomenon so that they could use it to earn a salary.

As a result, the situation became more and more disgusting.

Zhu Zilong was determined to fully understand this situation, so he explained: "Send the order. From tomorrow, I will inspect the forts and guards under my command!"

After several days of observation, Zhu Zilong's heart became heavier as he saw it.

The situation in each trough and garrison was very bad. The farmlands were abandoned, the ox was thin, and the number of households in the fort fled, the fewer the green and strong were green. There were bumpy pits everywhere, and there were mostly dilapidated buildings such as dirt houses and thatched huts on both sides. The road was mostly ragged men and women who were ragged and trembling all over their bodies.

This is definitely a refugee camp, not a military camp.

Finally, when he arrived in Jinling South, Shandong, Zhu Zilong asked the people around him: "I heard that there is a large iron ore near Jinling Fort here?"

After receiving a positive answer, Zhu Zilong recalled this place and compared the memories in his mind with modern times. Finally, he was sure that this was the Jinling Iron Mine Area in Shandong in later generations.

In the 21st century later, Shandong Jinling Iron Mine was a large state-owned mining enterprise that combines mining and selection. It is located in Zibo City, Shandong Province. It is affiliated to Shangang Group and is one of the important iron ore raw material bases in Shandong Province.

Shandong Jinling Iron Mine has a long history of mining, and there were records of mining and smelting in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Before liberation, the mine experienced plundering mining by Germany and Japanese powers, which left the mine devastated.

Shandong Jinling Iron Ore is produced, iron ore, iron fine powder, copper fine powder, cobalt fine powder, and cast iron. It is naturally also an important place in the Ming Dynasty!

Of course, it is also an imperial estate!

Zhu Zilong naturally had no idea about making a decision here, so he moved in a blink of an eye and thought of another good place. And no one discovered it!

That is the hidden rich iron ore near the Grand Canal, not far from Linqing, but it is located in the mountainous Dezhou. It has not been discovered by the Ming Dynasty officials yet.

In later generations, in 2015, the Planning and Exploration Research Institute of Shandong Coalfield Geology Bureau conducted special research on aerial magnetic abnormality areas in the Qihe area of ​​Yucheng, North Yellow River, and carried out large-scale high-precision magnetic measurement and heavy magnetic profile joint inversion, and circled multiple mineral exploration target areas in more than 200 square kilometers.

Finally, a production area with an iron ore resource of about 300 million tons was found in the deep mountains of Dezhou.

Now that I know the historical process and have the initiative, I should be able to start one or two in advance!
