In early summer, the weather has become warmer, and the plants and trees are turning toward the blooming green. 【【Note【Note】..o&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao's life is still self-reliant and unbelief. He insists on practicing martial arts every day, and starts to frequently go to martial arts lecture halls and military camps.&1t;/p>

The scale of the martial arts lecture hall has expanded many times. It has gradually begun to become an increasingly formal "modern" military academy under the leadership of Zhu Youxiao.&1t;/p>

The martial arts lecture hall is officially divided into seven disciplines: "Infantry Department", "Cavalent Department", "Architecture Department", "Engineering Department", "Research Department", "Logistics Department", and "Technical Department".&1t;/p>

This day was the day when the "continuous training class" of the martial arts lecture hall ended. Zhu Youxiao came to the martial arts lecture hall next to the imperial city and personally awarded the "commission letter" to these graduated grassroots officers.&1t;/p>

In a solemn atmosphere, Zhu Youxiao personally handed over the neatly folded officer uniforms and the letter of appointment to these grassroots officers.&1t;/p>

"I thank the emperor for your kindness." Grassroots officers came forward, bowed deeply to Zhu Youxiao, and then took over the military uniform respectfully. From this moment on, they were no longer big-headed soldiers, but military officers of grades. The platoon leader was ninth rank, the company commander was eighth rank, the battalion commander was seventh rank, the regiment commander was sixth rank, the brigade commander was fifth rank, and the division commander was fourth rank.&1t;/p>

Military pay has also increased with the grade.&1t;/p>

After obtaining the grade, they are professional officers and will be paid for their lords' salaries throughout their lives. There is no need for the monarch to be just. At this moment, they have already possessed common interests with Zhu Youxiao and became a common interest group.&1t;/p>

At any level of a teacher, they will receive a portion of the dividends of Royal Bank of China. This dividend is not too much, but there are thousands of silver dollars a year. If Royal Bank and its holding companies make money, the more dividends they can get.&1t;/p>

A military interest group was woven out by Zhu Youxiao.&1t;/p>

Although the short-term training class was held in the martial arts lecture hall, although it was not long, Zhu Youxiao personally presided over it. This group of graduated officers can be regarded as "son of the emperor". Fortunately, these graduated grassroots officers all learned to look at pictures and showed their cultural advantages.&1t;/p>

Zhu You proofreaded the mapping of the investigation department and made specific specifications, and the drawing of military maps became professional. These professional maps are something that every officer at all levels must be able to understand.&1t;/p>

This group of grassroots officers have officially taken office.&1t;/p>

The reorganization of the 100,000 border troops has just completed two months of recruit training, and the queue and other training have been almost done. The next step is to confirm the formal organization.&1t;/p>

Various coordination. Obviously, it has begun again.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao naturally participated in the whole process, but it was too busy for Sun Chuanting. Zhu Youxiao's participation in the whole process does not mean that he was doing things throughout the process. If he was too busy, he was naturally the one who was below. He worked hard and tiring, and he did all the ones.&1t;/p>

"Four heavy infantry divisions and five conventional infantry divisions, officers at all levels have been confirmed. Please check it out." Sun Chuanting handed the list to Zhu Youxiao. Zhu Youxiao looked carefully and then passed.&1t;/p>

"Thank you for your hard work, my dear." Zhu Youxiao said to Sun Chuanting with a smile. Sun Chuanting worked hard and said, "This is my duty."&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao nodded and didn't say much. But the leader likes the most is the subordinate who is willing to do things and can do things! The leader naturally sees what kind of person the subordinate is.&1t;/p>

The organization of nine infantry divisions was finally determined. After some distribution, the 100,000 border troops were officially determined.&1t;/p>

After two months of training, the 100,000 border troops have no problems with their loyalty due to their high treatment and continuous ideological education.&1t;/p>

The nine infantry divisions trained this time are definitely elite troops. Because the quality of these 100,000 soldiers is too high, almost all of them are the essence of each border town. Many soldiers have tiger backs and bear waists, and their strength is amazing.&1t;/p>

These nine infantry divisions are destined to be more elite than the five infantry divisions in the previous Beijing camp.&1t;/p>

The soldiers with excellent quality, plus the equipment that is armed to the teeth, the best treatment, the most rigorous military law, and the combat experience are not very lacking. These border soldiers had certain military qualities before. When they walked onto the battlefield, their psychological qualities were definitely passed.&1t;/p>

The number has also been set, from o6 to 14.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao was obviously the most refreshing feeling at this moment when he saw these troops being organized from scratch.&1t;/p>

"Damn, I finally have a large army now." Zhu Youxiao was in a good mood. Now he held fourteen infantry divisions. No matter how natural disasters the Ming Dynasty was, he could still fight for a way out.&1t;/p>

The fourteen infantry divisions he trained were not those mobs. Unlike other Ming army, military officers raised a group of servants. Or these fourteen infantry divisions were all "fellow servants" of Zhu Youxiao, which eliminated the phenomenon of servants who poached the country's corners in the army.&1t;/p>

With such an army in hand, Zhu Youxiao is full of confidence and finally no longer has to pretend to be a grandson.&1t;/p>

The army is the confidence to adopt violent means and is also the cornerstone of supporting reform. Reform believes that the re-division of interests and patterns will lead to conflicts with the current vested interest groups, which may lead to violent conflicts. Now Zhu Youxiao is not afraid anymore, but he cannot provoke conflicts randomly for stability reasons.&1t;/p>

But you can't let go of the meat you should eat.&1t;/p>

After a few days of busy work, Zhu Youxiao immediately asked the cabinet assistant Shen Yu to check the situation of anti-smuggling. Shen Yu immediately asked Tianjin Governor Gao Bangzuo, Cao Transport Governor Ye Xianggao, and Taxation Bureau Governor Wei Zhongxian to report the situation.&1t;/p>

Soon, each drafted a memorial and handed it over to the cabinet, and made a report on the progress of anti-smuggling. Then Shen Qi rode into the imperial city and reported the situation to Zhu Youxiao.&1t;/p>

Riding horses in the imperial city is a privilege and also an obligation. The ministers who were rewarded with this privilege must hand over a horse. In history, Wei Zhongxian gave this indifferent privilege and rewarded it with great rewards. Some officials were even rewarded once, and then reclaimed again. As a result, Wei Zhongxian got a lot of horses, which temporarily alleviated the problem of insufficient horses on the front line.&1t;/p>

At this time, Zhu Youxiao was in his hands to manage the Imperial City. He did not give this privilege so casually.&1t;/p>

Shen Yan is one of the few ministers who have obtained this privilege. With Shen Yan's income, he can afford one or two war horses. Because of the scarcity, it makes people feel honored.&1t;/p>

Chen Yan entered the Forbidden City all the way, then dismounted and walked to the Hall of Yangxin. Zhu Youxiao was handling some military affairs.&1t;/p>

"Report to the emperor, the anti-smuggling situation in various places has been reported. After half a month of anti-smuggling, a certain effect has been achieved. A total of more than 3,000 smuggling personnel were arrested, more than 300 people were killed, nearly 3 million kilograms of private salt were seized, and the customs smuggling goods were seized worth more than 300,000 yuan, and the private goods were seized with official ships worth more than 600,000 yuan. The total anti-smuggling accounted for about one million yuan."&1t;/p>

After reporting some progress, Chen Yan continued: "Although there has been some progress, smuggling is still rampant. The main problem is the lack of troops. This anti-smuggling only dispatched a regiment of troops, and there was not much after it was allocated. So there were not many checkpoints, and those smugglers still had the opportunity to take advantage of it. Tianjin Governor Gao Bangzuo reported that private salt production in the coastal areas of Tianjin is still continuing, and the smuggling method has changed from the initial large convoy to the current group of three or five, or smuggling and trafficking alone. The goal is smaller and it is more difficult to inspect. It can be said that the people's hearts are as iron as it is difficult to shake."&1t;/p>

"Haha! If the people's hearts are like iron, the official law is a furnace. No matter how hard the iron is, it will be melted for him." Zhu Youxiao immediately ordered: "Transfer my order, and ordered the Ministry of War to immediately mobilize the troops of two divisions to cooperate with anti-smuggling. Anyone who smuggles and arrests will be killed on the spot, and all arrested smugglers will be demoted to official slaves."&1t;/p>

"Yes, the Emperor."&1t;/p>

"The emperor is wise and smuggling is never stopped. It is just a private speculator who has a lucky mentality. As long as the investigation is strictly and the punishment is unbearable, smuggling can be eliminated." Chen Yan praised.&1t;/p>

"How much fiscal surplus can be produced this year depends entirely on salt tax and tariffs, as well as various commercial taxes, so I have to worry about it!" Zhu Youxiao sighed.&1t;/p>

After some budget, the estimated income throughout the year is useful. What to do next is to have more fiscal revenue.&1t;/p>

The people's hearts are like iron, and the official law is like a furnace. This sentence is not a frightening sentence. Soon the Ministry of War dispatched two infantry divisions to cooperate with anti-smuggling activities.&1t;/p>

Gao Bangzuo was very good at Wei Zhongxian, and he was overjoyed when he received the cooperation of a large number of troops. Xun put all these troops into anti-smuggling.&1t;/p>

In addition to fixed checkpoints, a large number of "patrol inspection teams" were added this time, patrolling everywhere on the avenues and paths in northern Zhili. Each team has a force of hundreds of troops, and even equipped with infantry cannons. Those one-pound cannons are very light and are obviously very effective in anti-smuggling.&1t;/p>

There are checkpoints everywhere, just like a "global net". Private salt dealers in Tianjin soon became unlucky. Under such high-strength inspection, most of the people who carried out private salt trafficking in groups of three or five fell into trouble. The private salt dealers who used large convoys had continued armed conflicts with Beijing.&1t;/p>

Shoot, kill again.&1t;/p>

Almost has become the main theme of anti-smuggling. Once a large caravan with weapons appears, then there is no need to think that it must be a private salt dealer.&1t;/p>

The imperial court has issued a ban, prohibiting caravans from holding controlled weapons in Northern Zhili. Only the standard bank controlled by Royal Capital, that is, the escort agency, an ancient security escort company.&1t;/p>

In order to deal with the Beijing camp, these private salt dealers also made changes. On the one hand, they broke the whole into pieces, and on the other hand, they gathered their peers.&1t;/p>

After gathering together, there were usually two or three hundred people. Among them, there were many martial artists with high martial arts skills, and they all had a lot of confidence. The situation was indeed as they expected. At the beginning, the government saw so many of these private salt dealers, but they didn't dare to take action when they met. They could only accept a bribe and let them go.&1t;/p>

But this time it is different. These private salt dealers are numerous, but the inspection team is the same. Once this private salt dealer gathers with them, they will immediately ask for support and send people to follow them. It will not take long for these private salt dealers to surround and annihilate them. (To be continued...)&1t;/>&1t;/p>
Chapter completed!
