The next day, it was freezing cold and the mountains were covered with snow.

After getting to know the general situation, Wang Qianhu once again stood up and sat on the high platform of the school grounds out of boredom... feeling cold.

Sun Fugui gave him a detailed report on the specific situation of this month, including other materials, soldiers, and the progress of fortress construction. Only the progress of the bulk of his soldiers in one month could not be mentioned. Sun Fugui had a lot of experience, but that was

Fucking escape experience is not the field experience of fighting against Hou Jin with real swords and guns. So this morning, after having a meal and warming up, the whole army competition began again.

The previous forty-nine people were dead or injured, and six people were seriously injured before. In the end, after a bumpy journey, only two people survived. This was because the boss of the Li family was there, otherwise none of them would have survived.

It's just that although two more people survived, they basically won't be able to fight within half a year, so the twenty-three people who returned this time are considered to be the elite of his men.

Wang Yan's plan is to use these twenty-three people as seeds to form a separate team. His thousand households will normally be replenished to more than a thousand people, and the other forty-nine people will be made up of previously trained military households.

Among them, the first forty-nine are determined and advanced.

In small-scale battles, these people bring new recruits to the battlefield for actual combat training. If it is a large-scale battle, they will be directly transferred to become officers. After a period of training, if the ability is not required to reach the level of a serious hundred households, a general banner will be enough. Under this situation

, if he has a hundred people in his hands, when they spread out, they will become an army of 5,000 people.

This does not include the hundreds of households, general banners, small banners, etc. he originally had under his command. Otherwise, it would be easy to pull out tens of thousands of combat-effective soldiers and horses.

Hmm... This is just a random thought on his part. After all, the objective conditions do not allow it. If he really recruits 10,000 people, not to mention the pension for the dead, he will just eat horse chews. How much money will he have to support him?

ah.

The same is true, he can only continuously increase internal competition, constantly screen out the survival of the fittest, and constantly raise the bottom line to improve the overall combat effectiveness.

Anyway, as time goes by, his men will become more elite. It's not that he is bragging, or that he looks down on Yuan Chonghuan. At the same time, the soldiers he trained will definitely beat the Guan Ning cavalry that Yuan Chonghuan carefully trained.

After all, where are the resources that were thrown at him? He, Wang, didn’t even enjoy it himself, but was all thrown at these more than a thousand people. Soldiers, armor, wages, grain, Chinese herbal medicine and other materials are not the same amount when spread per head.

Level. If this can't defeat the soldiers trained by Yuan Chonghuan, Wang Yan himself will have to pick up a knife and chop these losers without anyone else. In other words, the murderousness is not that great, after all, this does not happen.

He didn't know what Zhu Youxiao was thinking this time, but it was always good to be prepared. After all, he now had nearly ninety war horses. If possible, he would ask Man Gui to make some points again and come up with a hundred

The household cavalry went out to fight guerrillas.

If Zhu Youxiao doesn't promote him to a higher position, this thing will still have to be compared. He has to check the specific progress of his men so that he can continue to arrange the training plan.

Wang Yan has customized a detailed competition mechanism. It does not mean that he can fight well, but it is an assessment of comprehensive strength in multiple dimensions such as literacy, physical fitness, command, and map recognition. Being able to fight is only one of them.

It's just one item. Of course, the main focus is on cold weapon combat now, and the proportion is not small. However, if the other results are not good, no matter how hard he can fight, it will be in vain, and he will still not be able to get into the position. After all, what he wants is that he has combat effectiveness and can lead the team.

No matter how much people can beat him, can someone beat him?

Correspondingly, regarding ranking in the military, the treatment is also different. The pay and silver stipulated by the court are issued as usual, but on top of that, there are ranking rewards. He can't get a promotion, and he has not yet reached the rank, so he is paid every month.

Find money.

Moreover, although those military households who have undergone training are not as well treated as the regular army, they are also given more money than before. Moreover, they can challenge the regular army. If they feel that they have enough, they can definitely challenge. If they win all the benefits, the two parties can exchange benefits.

It means that the challenger rises to the top, and the challenged person is removed from the regular army and goes to work in the original challenger's place. If he loses, he is given money. After all, he can't challenge others blindly without pressure. It can be regarded as a small gain.

Since the promulgation of this system, there have been many challengers, but no one has successfully challenged it... This also shows that there are no talents among his military households, and the base is still not large enough.

This kind of reward system has a very good motivating effect for these top soldiers. After all, the veterans know what they are like, and the new recruits are not living a good life. They compete with each other every day for fear of falling behind.

Delay in making money.

An all-round competition with thousands of people cannot be completed in a short time. Wang Yan stopped thinking blindly and watched the competition between his men, assessing the general combat effectiveness, and thinking about the next training plan...

Three days later, the Forbidden City.

It is already October, which is around the end of November according to the Western calendar. Due to the low temperature in Little Glacier and the influence of the cold current, it has already started to snow heavily.

It's a nice day today, the heavy snow has stopped and the sun is out.

In the Forbidden City, the bracketed cornices, golden bricks and green tiles, and red-and-red nanmu doors and windows shine brightly against the white snow everywhere, and are reflected in the melted pools of water. It is particularly exquisite.

Because Zuo Ye and Miss Gao had worked hard, the somewhat listless Zhu Youxiao was wrapped in a thick fur coat and yawning. He was not carried by anyone, but was walked around by a group of eunuchs.

Planing wood in his carpentry shop.

When they arrived at the place, someone had already placed a charcoal pot in the house. When the little eunuch took off the bearskin coat, Zhu Youjian had just fiddled with a set of tools and was thinking about making something.

Wei Zhongxian came over.

Before Wei Zhongxian could greet him, Zhu Youxiao said, "Look at this."

He doesn't care about things, and he's not a fool. How can he pay Wei Zhongxian everything? Although the Ming Dynasty is in danger, it is not a camel that suffers death or a toothless tiger. Naturally, there are dedicated people to handle things, so Man Gui's

Of course, the secret memorial was presented directly to him.

"Old slave obeys the order."

Wei Zhongxian bowed and took it with both hands. After looking at it twice, his eyes widened.

Damn it, I'm used to saying that the honest Man Gui, who has never had much contact with him, will give him money, and his feelings are fucking waiting here. Look at what's written, who knows that the rear is unstable after the power transfer of the slave establishment, and who knows that Yuan Chonghuan

He is proposing a peace, why is his desire to destroy the Ming Dynasty not dead, why is he under his instruction, what is the delineation of this place and that, and he still has no shame? He is the eldest brother, and his position as the eldest brother is much bigger.

Who doesn’t know who?

As for Wang Yan's ability to obtain more than 500 heads of slaves, it means that he killed far more people than that. Wei Zhongxian had to admit that the boy he had almost forgotten about was indeed a capable man.

After watching Man Gui's secret performance, Wei Zhongxian opened his mouth just in time and glanced at Zhu Youxiao with wide eyes, guessing that he was very proficient. After all, his expression could be that he was surprised by Man Gui's boldness, or he could be surprised that more than five hundred people

The capture of the head is two different things.

After confirming, Wei Zhongxian had a good idea, and he was surprised and said: "Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, this King Yan of Thousand Households was appointed by you. I didn't expect to have so many gains now, which is no less than

A battle involving thousands of people was won. I congratulate the emperor for his discernment and talent, and for finding another capable general for our Ming Dynasty."

"Haha... I still know what I am." After hearing what he wanted to hear, Zhu Youxiao laughed: "But it's too early to say this now. Everything has to be investigated clearly before making a decision. Daban, you will send someone later.

Investigate it."

Of course he knows about Daming

Wei Zhongxian bowed and accepted the order: "I obey the order."

He knew what the emperor meant, and it was nothing more than sending someone to see what impact this action would have on Jiannu. As for whether it was true or false, unless Man Gui was crazy and had lived enough, it must be true.

"My dear companion, Wang Yan is so promising, how do you think I should reward him when the time comes?"

"Wang Yan is only sixteen years old this year. He is already in charge of thousands of households and controls thousands of people. The emperor already attaches great importance to him. This time he has made new achievements, but after all, he acted in secret and it is inconvenient to show his merits. This is a reward for no merit, and more

The king said that he is still young, so I am afraid that other generals will have some criticisms..." Wei Zhongxian frowned and said, "The emperor's holy heart is arbitrary. I think he has been calculating for a long time, and it is the old slave who is talking nonsense."

After all, he is collecting money and he has to be trustworthy, so just tell the truth. What do you want him to do?

"Daban, what you said is very good." Zhu Youxiao's smile suddenly disappeared: "Huh, you can't fight one by one, but you are jealous of the wise and capable. You really deserve to be killed."

I don’t blame him for being angry. Ever since he came to power, he has been fighting against Jiannu. He has been chased and killed all the way. Liaodong has been fucking lost. Now that there are people who can fight, why the hell are you complaining?

Wei Zhongxian lowered his head silently and did not answer.

After thinking about himself for a while, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said: "Comrade, go let someone investigate, and then go down."

"In compliance with your order, Your Majesty, I will retire."

After Wei Zhongxian left, Zhu Youxiao was digging at the wood depressedly. He was a bird imprisoned in this deep palace. Even though he was the emperor, he couldn't do everything as he pleased. He should be killed...

Five days later, Wei Zhongxian reported the collected information to Zhu Youxiao. He was the admiral of Dongchang, and Dongchang was a spy agency. So naturally there were people who were interested in collecting intelligence and carrying out assassinations as slaves who were eyeing the Ming Dynasty.

It has been ten days since Wang Yan last went there, and the flag owner over there is still sending people out to arrest people like a mad dog. There is no way, if he doesn't catch him, he will get a skin cramp and a scratch of three thousand dollars, then

The flag owner will not give up.

Not only did he kill hundreds of his soldiers, he also massacred several adult men in the village, and the most egregious thing was that he didn't even see a single figure. To put it bluntly, it was all his property and loss.

It's all him. He is a joke now, everyone else is looking at him, and his brother was killed. How the hell can he bear this?

After Zhu Youxiao heard the news, he laughed loudly. He was really happy. He had to kill the slaves like this. Peace talks? Go to hell, sooner or later we will kill them all.

Feeling happy, he sent a piece of edict directly to Shanhaiguan Pass.

By the time Wang Yan received the news, it was already three days later and half a month since he came back. What should be said should not be said. The efficiency of transmitting information is really low and it would delay things too much. Half a month has passed since he came back.

How many people have been killed?

The imperial edict didn't say much, just a lot of it. The main two points were that one was to express satisfaction with Man Gui and encourage him to continue working hard. The other was to be promoted to Wang Yan as commander, to serve as a garrison, and to command three thousand soldiers.

Still staying in place.

After wrapping a big red envelope for the eunuch who delivered the order, Wang Yan and Man Gui looked at each other and smiled, completely speechless.

Nothing more to say, no need to say more, just do it and that’s it.

As for whether other people have any ideas, to be honest, it has little to do with Wang Yan. The whole Liaodong knows that he initiated the business. Perhaps Zhu Youxiao and Wei Zhongxian also know that so many people support him, and their eldest brother Damanguishao

So, just one sentence, who is in favor? Who is against?

The next day, Wang Yan received two people from the Thousand Households. One had the same number of six Hundred Households as he had before, and the other had five. Wang Yan did not touch the two Thousand Households, and they were all smiling at the moment.

, take a look first and then talk.

Wang Yan was rich and powerful. He selected a few top-ranking general banners from the original thousand households and directly transferred them to make hundreds of households. At the same time, he also filled in all the military households he had trained before, and the remaining manpower was

If there is not enough, then we can recruit again.

As for the appointment documents, etc., he would write a report later and Mangui would give instructions, it was all easy to say.

The rest has old rules to follow, and Sun Fugui can do very well. After all, Sun Fugui followed him from scratch, and he knows how to do it and to what extent he can achieve it. Sun Fugui can be regarded as a chicken and a dog ascending to heaven.
To be continued...
