Chapter 1431 New Military Uniforms, Army Expansion

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Mu Jiansheng was by Han Yu's side, learned Han Yu's tricks over and over, and copied them directly in Wuding.

The tricks are not new, they just need to be easy to use.

After killing a group of corrupt officials, local tyrants and evil gentry, the reputation of the Second Grenadier Regiment in Wuding reached its peak.

Mu Jiansheng quickly sent people on fast horses to report the results of the battle to Han Yu.

Han Yu was very satisfied after seeing Mu Jiansheng's battle report.

Mu Tianbo was also happy. With Mu Jiansheng being so capable, the Mu family will surely prosper in the future.

"Let Mu Jiansheng expand the results of the battle and continue to the north. Try to wipe out all the Qing troops stationed in the local area before the Manchus and Qing Dynasties can react. Eliminate their effective forces, especially the officials and local tyrants and evil gentry. Leave no one behind."
"You follow behind and take charge of the work, training rural warriors in the county. Don't expect them to fight head-on with the Qing army. They can arrest bandits and maintain basic public order. Those who are willing to join the Grenadier Corps will be assessed. As long as they pass the test, they will be admitted.

Come in and send them to Spring City for training. Just two legions are still too few. We need more people."

Han Yu said.

"Yes." Mu Tianbo accepted the order and left.

After sending the Mu family father and son away, Han Yu found Mu Jianping.

"Your Highness." Mu Jianping stood in front of Han Yu handsomely.

"Do you know how to be a female celebrity?"

"My mother taught me when I was a child." Mu Jianping nodded quickly.

"Make a suit of clothes according to this design drawing."

Han Yu took out a design drawing.

The drawing shows the image of a soldier. The soldier is wearing a dark blue military uniform with red trousers. The buttons are made of brass. There are gorgeous epaulettes on the shoulders and armbands on the arms.

On top of the head is a rimmed dome hat.

There is also a black coat outside.

On his waist was a water bag, a scabbard and an armed belt with grenades.

Underfoot are a pair of high leather boots.

He looks energetic and handsome.

This is an improved military uniform made by Han Yu after the Grenadier period.

The clothing of the Ming Dynasty was usually fine, but it was somewhat inconvenient during combat. Taking advantage of the large amount of fabrics now available, Han Yu planned to carry out a military uniform reform.

The same military uniforms can not only increase the cohesion of the team, but also make it easier to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy on the battlefield.

If the same clothes appear together, it is easier to give the other person a sense of oppression.

Moreover, beautiful military uniforms can arouse the vanity of young people and make them want to join them.

This makes it easier for Han Yu to expand his army.

"Wow, what kind of dress is this? I've never seen it before, but it's really beautiful."

Mu Jianping's eyes widened and he couldn't move his eyes away from the military uniform.

"How about it? Can it be done?"

Han Yu asked.

"Well, although it's a bit difficult, it's still possible."

Mu Jianping nodded.

"Then make a suit according to my figure first and see if there are any problems. If there is nothing that needs to be modified, we will expand production and let all soldiers wear the new uniforms."

Han Yu said.

"Okay, give me a day and I will make it."

Mu Jianping nodded.

"By the way, there is also this flag, you can help make it too."

Han Yu took out a piece of paper.

There is a flag painted on it, with a red background, a golden concentric sun and moon in the middle, and a huge clear character in the center.

This flag was modified by Han Yu after imitating the caravan flag.

The color red represents the Ming Dynasty’s rebirth through the baptism of blood, and also symbolizes the Ming Dynasty’s virtue of fire.

The concentric sun and moon naturally represent the word Ming, which also means that everything the sun and moon illuminate is the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

The meaning of that clear word is self-evident.

"This will be our flag from now on. Let the craftsmen make it. I want every legion and every city to plant this flag."

Han Yu said.

"It's Your Highness." Mu Jianping took the things down.

Mu Jianping moved very quickly, and it only took him a night's work to have a new set of military uniforms delivered to Han Yu.

"It's so fast. You haven't slept all night." Han Yu looked at Mu Jianping dozing off from time to time, feeling a little funny.

"It's okay. Your Highness, please try it quickly. If there's anything inappropriate, I'll take it back and change it now."

Mu Jianping wrung his hands and said.

"Okay, let me try."

Han Yu put on a new military uniform.

It has to be said that Mu Jianping is very clever and ingenious. Although it is his first time to come into contact with this kind of clothes, he still makes them in a stylish way, which is no different from the basic meaning.

Especially the size, it fits Han Yu just right.

"Not bad, very good."

Han Yu was very satisfied.

"Gather all the women in the city together and ask them to work together to make new military uniforms. As for the wages, they will be settled according to the market price."

Han Yu said.

"Well, making military uniforms can be classified as labor, and you don't need to pay wages."

Mu Jianping said.

"We are not short of this, and if the money is spent, it will be much more useful than piling it in the warehouse."

Han Yu said with a smile.

In his opinion, money piled in a warehouse is just a pile of precious metals without any value.

Only when you spend it can you have the greatest impact.

This money was given to the woman as wages, and she would use it to buy firewood, rice, oil, and salt for daily necessities, and she would even tear two feet of cloth to make a new suit.

They go to buy, and the traders make money and then purchase materials from higher suppliers for production.

In this way, the entire economic chain is opened up, materials and money continue to flow in this chain, businessmen will be more motivated, and then they will increase production, so that materials will be more abundant.

And Han Yu can collect more business taxes from it.

This is a huge good thing for the entire society.

"Oh." Mu Jianping nodded in understanding, but her father told her to listen carefully to Han Yu's words, and Han Yu's words would be whatever he said.

"If you don't understand, don't think about it. Just do it. Your Highness can't be wrong anyway."

Mu Jianping went to recruit women.

Under the leadership of Han Yu, the entire Spring City economy began to recover.

Even more energetic than before the war.

Han Yu did a good job here, and Mu Tianbo, Mu Jiansheng and his son fought consecutively and captured 22 towns in half a month, controlling most of Yunnan Province.

At the same time, militia groups were organized in all captured towns to maintain public order.

Mu Tianbo also sent all the gold and silver confiscated from his house to Spring City.

Even young people have recruited more than 30,000 people, and they have all been sent to the Spring City Camp for intensive training.

The newly arrived 30,000 people were organized into three new legions by Han Yu, numbered respectively as the third, fourth, and fifth legions.

With more and more people in his hands, Han Yu felt that his talents were not enough, so he had to promote a few of the original Qianhu to the rank of army commander.

Seeing that their colleagues had all been promoted, the other Qianhu felt itchy. They worked hard and worked hard, hoping that one day they could be promoted to the rank of legion commander and lead a single army.

Seeing that he had more money and more troops, Han Yu felt that the bigger plan could be implemented.
