As the flames rose, the Liaodong Steelmaking Plant was officially ignited, and the Liaodong Steelmaking Plant in the Ming Dynasty officially began operations. From this moment on, a large amount of steel will be produced here, and then quickly transported to the nearby weapons factory. This steel will also

They were forged into weapons in a short period of time and then armed for the soldiers of Liaodong.

Zhu Houzhao did not stay here too long. He had a symbolic meaning today. Staying for a long time would make the people below uncomfortable. After watching the ignition, he asked the people below to distribute the rewards, and Zhu Houzhao took the people away.

.

Returning to his hotel, Zhu Houzhao met Wang Shouren, whom he had not seen for a long time. These Wang Shouren were very busy. The entire Liaodong military reform matter was all on him. However, with the experience of the Beijing camp, Wang Shouren started to do things.

It was easy to get here. It didn't take much effort on the recruiting side because the propaganda work was done well.

Although Qing Zhuang in Liaodong had doubts, the reputation of the Black Dragon Guard and the Crown Prince was still useful, especially after watching the Black Dragon Guard make money.

All the pay and rewards for this Northern Xinjiang battle were distributed. Looking at the big silver ingots, few people were unmoved. The number of people joining the army suddenly increased. You know, the recruitment of soldiers by the imperial court was so terrible.

You can't just join if you want to, you have to pass the exam, and you can't work as long as you want.

Five-year recruitment, very simple meaning, that is, you work for five years and then take an assessment. If you pass, you can stay and work for another five years. If you fail, you have to go home.

In addition, within the past five years, if you have accumulated enough military exploits to be promoted, even to a small flag, you will be an official of the imperial court and will not be affected. It's just that the accumulated military exploits are based on military exploits. Don't you think about it?

Become an official? If you want to, then you have to work hard to fight. The conditions are also very simple, just behead level 20.

Zhu Houzhao's policy is really exciting. Now the eyes of the soldiers in Liaodong are almost red, and their fighting spirit is very high.

Originally, everyone didn't want to go to fight Wu Ha Liang, but who doesn't want to go now? You must know that the rewards given by the court are divided. If a subordinate is beheaded at one level, the soldier will receive forty taels of silver. Xiaoqi can get an additional ten taels.

The reward is five taels for a hundred households, and only one tael for a thousand households. When you reach the command post, it is gone. You have to look up.

Of course, you can also choose to keep merit and promotion instead of money. If you choose money, then the credit will be considered as reward.

The same goes for soldiers. If you don't save up to level 20 in five years, when you retire, the court will give you a one-time reissue of silver. In short, as long as you kill the enemy and perform meritorious service, you will be promoted and paid.

After the promulgation of this policy, the entire Liaodong was filled with war spirit from top to bottom. In a word, when will the war start?

Zhu Houzhao also knew that in this era, using money to stimulate is the best way, and he also has feelings for his family and country, but you can't talk to these ordinary soldiers.

Today's wise people are not enlightened. What everyone wants is to get promoted and make a fortune. Whatever else you say is in vain, so just be more direct.

Sure enough, the effect of this policy is very good, but it also has a disadvantage, that is, the war spirit is too enthusiastic. In the past three months, the Liaodong generals have become more and more vocal in calling for war. If this change is really made, then the Ming Dynasty's army will

Zhu Houzhao didn't even have to think about what he would become like, it was all a big deal.

They will look for trouble everywhere and find excuses to start a war. Don't talk nonsense, just start a war. Come and come. If you don't accept it, fight.

Despite this shortcoming, Zhu Houzhao still chose this direction, because Zhu Houzhao also knew that this was the best way to boost Ming's morale and inspire fighting spirit. As for fighting out, are you afraid? Now I am afraid that I will not be able to fight.

Go out. Now that he saw Wang Shouren, Zhu Houzhao naturally thought of these things.

"Is the situation in the army okay?" Zhu Houzhao said slowly, waving his hand to signal Wang Shouren to excuse himself.

"Back to Your Highness, it's fine now, but it's not good to keep suppressing it like this." Wang Shouren said with a wry smile: "The morale has risen, and now is a good time to send troops."

Zhu Houzhao nodded. He naturally understood this. After pondering for a moment, Zhu Houzhao said directly: "Go back and tell them that steelmaking has begun at the steelmaking plant. The first batch of ordnance will be completed soon, and the equipment will be ready."

With the new ordnance, we will send troops to Wuhaliang immediately. Don’t be afraid that there will be no battles. The Ming Dynasty has many places to fight."

"Yes, Your Highness." After hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Wang Shouren breathed a sigh of relief. This would be the best thing.

"Tell me about the situation in the military camp!" Zhu Hou looked after Wang Shouren and then spoke again.

Wang Shouren nodded, and then said: "The training of new recruits has been completed. Some of them have been eliminated, and the rest have been reorganized. Twenty thousand cavalry and thirty thousand infantry have been reorganized. We are practicing lineup and coordination these days.

It will probably take more than a month to complete, and it can be considered as a combat effectiveness, but if you really want to become a strong army, I'm afraid it will take several battles."

Zhu Houzhao agreed with this statement. Although about half of them were military households in the Liaodong Army, these people had not fought well before, and there were not many arrogant soldiers among them.

The rest are new recruits. These people have only been trained for a few months. Of course, they will not be able to go to the battlefield. Some of them may be so scared that they wet their pants. Regarding this, Zhu Houzhao has no good solution.

After a few injections, once you see blood, it will naturally get better. Zhu Houzhao believes this.

"Then let's try it a few times." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "I believe Aiqing has a way. If it doesn't work, just take him to the grassland and practice."

"I am about to request an order from His Highness the Crown Prince to take these soldiers out for a walk, so that they can at least see the grassland scenery." The expression on Wang Shouren's face did not change. He had already had this idea, and now he proposed it.

It's just the right time.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said with a smile: "As long as Aiqing makes the decision on these matters, I still trust Aiqing."

Although His Highness the Crown Prince believed in himself, Wang Shouren also knew what the minister should do, and he quickly bowed and said, "Then I will go back and make arrangements."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, and Wang Shouren turned around and retreated. Looking at Wang Shouren's back, Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and stretched his muscles. The matter in Liaodong was over for the time being. The next thing to wait is

The battle against Uharian is about to begin. This battle will definitely be fought before winter begins. It is also time to prepare a woolen textile factory on our side.
