"General, the Bozhou Army should be 30,000 strong, but the actual number is 130,000. Please review it!"

On the first day of June in the twenty-fifth year of Wanli, under the bright and scorching sun of early summer, on the newly built large campus in Zunyi City, 30,000 Bozhou troops who had just completed recruit training were lined up in six large square formations facing the scorching sun.

Exposure to the sun does not allow spinning.

Only Qi Xianzong, the commander-in-chief of Bozhou, was kneeling on one knee under the general stage, asking for instructions and reporting to Wang Bing.

However, although he has now become the commander-in-chief of Bozhou, like other old Yulins, Qi Xianzong's title to Wang Bing has not changed, and he still calls him general.

"Let's get started, let's see how the newly formed Bozhou Army is doing in practice!"

Looking at the 30,000 new Boshu troops standing quietly in the school grounds, Wang Bing couldn't help but nodded secretly.

Speaking of which, since the Yulin Guards began to join the armies as seeds, the entire Ming army finally began to develop towards regularization and unification.

Needless to say, this standard of regularization and unification is based on the "First Army of the Ming Dynasty", the Yulin Guards.

Therefore, even though the Banshu Army had just been established, although its clothing and weapons were different from those of the Habayashi Guards, its temperament was exactly the same as the Habayashi Guards.

"Tsk, tsk, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't believe it. This is a new army that has just been formed, and most of them have never even been on the battlefield!"

Just when Qi Xianzong turned around and began to lead the Bozhou Army to undergo a review, on the general stage, as guests Liu Wei, An Jiangchen, Ma Qiancheng, Ran Yulong and other local and chieftain generals, they all couldn't help but pay attention to this army.

The new army, which had only been formed for only three months, was full of praise.

There was nothing I could do about it, even though these Boshu troops didn't make any movement, but as veteran generals on the battlefield who had been fighting for a long time, they could feel a faint murderous aura from them.

Although this murderous intention is not obvious, it can even be said to be very weak, but this weak murderous intention has already surpassed most of the unorganized armies. And don't forget, this Banshu Army is an army

The new army has just been formed and has not been on the battlefield yet!

"Haha, it's a bit interesting, but it's still far from becoming a strong army!"

Unlike Liu Wei, Ma Qiancheng and other local chieftain generals, Qi Zhenzong, Zhang Weiming and Hu Dabiao and other generals from the Yulin Guard have long been accustomed to the momentum of the recruits trained according to the Yulin Guard's methods.

Already.

"Haha, I'm telling you, generals, don't always compare the entire army to the Beijing Camp and the Habayashi Guards!"

After hearing the comments from Qi Zhenzong and Zhang Weiming, An Jiangchen and Song Chengen couldn't help but look over half-jokingly.

"The Bozhou Army was also trained with the Habayashi Guards as its backbone. They are all brothers in the same sect. Why can't they be compared with the Beijing Camp and the Habayashi Guards, haha!"

During the parade review of the Bozhou Army that had begun, Hu Dabiao couldn't help but laugh proudly as he watched the rows of sergeants walking past the generals' platform.

Speaking of which, whether it is the frontier army, the Beijing camp, or the current Boshu army, after the soldiers of the Habayashi Guards joined as seeds, in fact, as Hu Dabiao said, all armies have become 'senior brothers'

Already.

And as time goes by, this group of 'brothers' will continue to grow, and will eventually complete the unification of the entire Ming army!

…

"Chengming, let's start distributing military pay!"

It took about half an hour to review the three-month training results of the Bozhou Army. However, Wang Bing did not disband it. Instead, he prepared to distribute this month's salary to the 30,000 Bozhou Army in the school grounds.

Military pay.

Speaking of which, unlike the military salaries of the Beijing camp and the frontier army, which are completely paid out of the national treasury. Under Wang Bing's suggestion, in the rectification plan for the local army formulated by the Fifth Army Governor's Office, half of the local army's salary comes from the income from land hoarding.

However, what is different from the original farmland for the guards is that these areas are divided into fields for the army, and they only belong to each army in terms of 'property rights'. The army is not actually responsible for the specific land reclamation, but 'contracts' it

Go out and run it by the common people or businessmen.

Moreover, the income from this hoarding of land does not go directly into the pockets of the local army. Instead, it is turned over to the Ministry of War and is then disbursed by the Ministry of War plus the other half of military expenses allocated by the national treasury.

Of course, if a natural disaster or other force majeure causes the military camp to have insufficient revenue, it will be made up from previous years' surplus or from the national treasury.

However, although they are not directly involved in the farming and management of this farmland, as the farmland is the source of half of the local army's military pay, the local army still has the right to supervise its management.

In this way, it not only reduces the national treasury's military expenditure, but also avoids the loopholes of the previous farming system as much as possible, and also creates an opportunity for the people to earn "extra money", which can be regarded as killing multiple birds with one stone.

It's just that the Bozhou Army has just been established. Although the land of this military camp has been divided, it has not yet generated any income. Therefore, the military expenses will naturally be paid in full by the national treasury first.

…

"Huh? Why are there five more silver coins?"

In front of dozens of military pay distribution points, the first batch of Bozhou Army soldiers who had just received their military pay couldn't help but look surprised when they looked at the large and small silver coins in their hands.

"This is what the Marquis rewarded Your Majesty for seeing that you practiced well today. Why, is that too much? How about you treat me? Hahahaha!"

Seeing the surprised and surprised expressions on the faces of these sergeants, the Habayashi Guards officer of the Banzhou Army who was responsible for distributing military pay couldn't help but joke.

"Your Majesty, you have a double military salary, and how much money are you short of? We still need to save money to get a wife, hehehehe!"

"Old Zhou is right. Commanders like you, sir, who have been transferred from the Yulin Guards have double salaries. Don't try to trick the brothers. The younger one has to save enough money to go to the master's house to redeem my sister.

.”

After several months of getting along with each other, these new recruits, whether they are Han sergeants or those selected from the native soldiers of the fifth division and seven surnames, are also very familiar with these officers who were transferred from the Yulin Guard. So as long as they are not

During the drill, the relationship between the officers and soldiers was still very harmonious.

"Xiao Wu, what are you talking about? Saving money to redeem your sister? Why didn't you tell me earlier that your sister was robbed? Who is so bold as to rob the sister of our brother Bozhou Army?"

Hearing that the soldier from the seventh surname of the fifth division said that he wanted to save money to redeem his sister, the captain of the Yulin Guard who was responsible for distributing the salary suddenly couldn't help but frowned.

"I have misunderstood the president. Well, my father did not snatch my sister away from me. It was because the family suffered a disaster a few years ago..."

It turned out that this soldier from the territory of the Wu Division and Seven Surnames, because his parents were both ill a few years ago, he had no choice but to sell his own girl to his master's house as a slave in order to treat his parents' illnesses.

When I was a soldier, I couldn't do anything because I didn't have military pay, but now that I'm in the Bozhou Army, with military pay, I naturally have to find a way to redeem my girl.

"Humph, what redemption is there? Save your money and get a wife! Go and let each army do statistics to see if there are any similar situations. After the statistics are completed, report them together. Today, the people with the seventh surname in the fifth division

You are all here, I will make the decision for you!"

Just when the native soldier surnamed Wu finished speaking, a cold snort came, but at some point, Wang Bing, the general manager of the broadcast, also came to the military pay distribution point. After hearing this Wu

After what the native soldier said, he turned around and gave orders to Qi Xianzong.

"Thank you so much, Lord Marquis!"

Hearing that Wang Bing, the champion, wanted to stand up for them, the soldier surnamed Wu couldn't help but knelt down on his knees with a look of gratitude.

There is no other way. With his current military salary, it will take at least two or three years to save enough money to redeem his sister.

"Get up, man, there is gold at your knees. You are now soldiers of my Ming Dynasty and His Majesty's minions. You are no longer the soldiers of some family. How can I let others bully your family?"

Wang Bing waved his hand at the native soldier surnamed Wu, and Wang Bing immediately pulled him up.

…

"Dong dong dong dong..."

On the main campus, the Bozhou Army, which had just received their military pay, was quickly reunited on the campus by the sound of drums.

"I just learned that my Ming soldiers have family members who are still working as slaves for others. This is my negligence. I would like to apologize to you here!"

What the Bozhou army did not expect was that Wang Bing, the general manager of Pingbo, actually bowed to them on the general ordering platform.

"Master Hou..."

Accompanied by the sound of rattling armor leaves, all the Bozhou soldiers knelt down on one knee.

"But don't worry, since I know about this, I won't care about it. No matter whose family your family is a slave or a maid, I will let them return home as soon as possible!"

Although the voice was directed at the Bozhou Army in the audience, Wang Bing turned his head and glanced at the people of the Five Divisions and Seven Surnames on the viewing platform.

"What's wrong, is it us the Marquis is talking about?"

Seeing Wang Bing's fleeting cold eyes, the people on the auditorium with five surnames and seven surnames suddenly panicked.

"Brother Tian, ​​isn't this obvious? Except for our former native soldiers, among these soldiers of the Bozhou Army, all of them have just moved to Bozhou..."

After being glanced at by Wang Bing, all the people with five surnames and seven surnames couldn't help but smile bitterly. Not only had they just lost the soldiers, but in the blink of an eye they had to sue them, who should they ask to reason with?

"Master Zhu, please tell the Marquis that the officials and others will reunite these soldiers with their families as quickly as possible..."

With just a look, before Wang Bing came to find them, these people from the five divisions and seven surnames came to Zhu Zhengse one after another for help.

"Haha, my lords, don't worry. The Marquis is a reasonable person. As long as you release the families of the Bozhou Army officers and soldiers as soon as possible, I believe the Marquis will not pursue the case!"

"You all should be remembered by me. I don't care which family you were before, or which family's soldiers you were, but now, you are all soldiers of my Ming Dynasty, the Great Wall of Sheji, and His Majesty's minions! If anyone dares to bully me,

You, your families, and the entire Ming army are your backing..."

Just when the people with the seven surnames of the Five Divisions asked Zhu Zhengse, the 'great magistrate', to help them, Wang Bing's words of using the entire Ming army to support these sergeants came to the attention of these people with the seven surnames of Wang Si.

in the ears.
