Regarding Zhu Chunchen's request, Zhu Youxiao only hesitated for a moment before agreeing. This was also because of Cheng Guogong's status. If it were another Duke, he might not agree. Fortunately, after asking for a share of private wealth, Zhu Chunchen

He did not ask for any other requirements and allowed his juniors to join the Yulin Army.

There was a special reason why Zhang Shize was approved to join. If Zhu Youxiao wants to use the influence of the British public, he must give him some sweetness. But that's the limit. Not everyone can be a minister of Qiandi. Moreover, for this

As for the New Army, Zhu Youxiao does not want too many privileged people to participate. Zhang Shize is just one point of contact, but any more would be bad.

Wang Wenyan led people to build a shipyard and seaport on the coast of Tianjin. Due to weather, manpower, technology and other reasons, this was destined to be a long-lasting project, and no results would be seen in a short time. However, he was not in a hurry, so he started work now.

, he just didn’t want the victims with construction experience to disperse, so he wanted to do more projects for them, so that they could become professional construction teams in the future, building roads and cities, etc.

Thinking of Wang Wenyan, Zhu Youxiao was very glad that the other party had thrown himself into the trap, otherwise he would not have known where to find such a capable and well-minded subordinate. Although experience can always bring out talents, it would also delay things.

Ready-made is best.

"Oh, come to think of it, I'm really not a planner. I can't help but feel the flutter in my heart every time and do things without permission, disrupting the original plan." Zhu Youxiao felt a little sorry for himself.

He originally planned to train the 800-strong Yulin Army, and then wait quietly for his ascension to the throne, but who knew that with his kind of training method, ten thousand taels of silver a month would not be enough. Of course, the most important thing is to equip them with complete equipment.

The reason is that this is the biggest problem. As long as you pass the initial period of time, it will be fine.

Zhu Youxiao thought the same way. He could just endure it for a while, but he couldn't resist the unexpected. Wang Wenyan suddenly appeared in front of him. He could resist the temptation of money, but he couldn't resist the temptation of gaining actual combat experience. He had never experienced blood and fire.

The army is not a true iron army.

With this idea in mind, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his tentacles, but then he couldn't stop himself. Once the imprisoned thoughts were released, they could not be taken back.

After the salt farm became profitable, he thought about expanding it, then made cement, then made roads, and then he also thought about making steel and firearms, water-powered armor, and he also thought about studying the Galen ship to build his own navy.

There are so many ideas that pop up all at once.

It's mysterious because the risk of casting armor and making firearms is too high, so he backed down, but the temptation of the naval shipyard is not so easy to give up, especially because the risk of these two things is small, and there are shipyards among the private sector, why can't he open it himself. In this era

Many people have not realized the role of the navy, including Wanli, who stands at the pinnacle of power. No one can see further than himself.

The Navy will start anyway.

Just as Zhu Youxiao was freeing his mind and thinking wildly, Liu Ruoyu came over and reported, "Sir, the Yulin Army has assembled and is waiting for your lecture." As he said that, he handed over a stack of paper with densely written words on it.

Judging from the handwriting style, these characters are all written with a quill pen.

Nowadays, this kind of pen has become the mainstream in his place. It has fast writing speed. Along with it, there are charcoal pens, also known as pencils, which are used by soldiers to practice calligraphy. They are cheap and easy to use.

The technology is simple, and the master craftsmen in the palace can make it at will. What is really rare is the pen.

Zhu Youxiao also ordered the fountain pen to go out, and asked the eunuch in charge of the craftsmanship to supervise it, but he didn't know when it would come out. He had the quill for the time being, so he was not in a hurry and just waited.

"Let's go." After taking the paper, Zhu Youxiao walked to the school grounds.

At this time, the Yulin Army had already assembled on the school field. They were holding spears and standing straight. Each of them exuded a high-spirited and confident temperament.

When he stepped onto the rostrum, Zhu Youxiao didn't say much. After giving the order to take a break, he began to announce according to the script, "Li Yuyu, the commander of the first company, Xie Gao, the commander of the second company, Zhang Ya, the commander of the second company."

Xu Wen, the commander of the third company, the commander of the teaching company, Li Tu, the commander of the cavalry company, and Li Tao, the commander of the logistics company."

Xie Gao was the one who took the initiative to pull Xu Wen down and promoted him, while Zhang Ya also had outstanding achievements and was the third person with the most merit records. Both of them had outstanding records, and no one was dissatisfied with their rise to the top. As for Zhang Ya,

Zhang Shize, who had wanted to compete with Li Yuyu before, was neither promoted nor demoted and was still a squad leader. Moreover, he was assigned to the logistics department.

After the company commander's appointment was announced, he was followed by the platoon leader, and after the platoon leader was the squad leader. This establishment was re-divided by Zhu Youxiao. He had a deep understanding of it during the battle. There were too many grassroots organizations and it was very difficult to command.

After the position adjustment is completed, the establishment is confirmed. One company has 200 people, four platoons, and 20 squads. The total is 200 people. The three combat companies are 600 people, the cavalry company is 200 people, the teaching company is 55 people, and the logistics

There are forty-five people in the company. This brings the total to 900 people. Here, Zhu Youxiao was a bit cunning. The teaching company and the logistics company were all in the name of cooks, but in the Ming army's system, these people were not counted.

within.

The reason why Xu Wen was mentioned in the teaching company is because he was the first to receive enlightenment from Confucianism. Unknowingly, he always had a desire to be a teacher. Moreover, he has a gentle personality, speaks in a gentle manner, and is very patient. It is just right to be placed in the teaching company.

, and Li Tao, perhaps because of family inheritance, is the best at mathematics and is good at calculating various accounts, so he was placed in the logistics company.

When the entire appointment was announced, some were happy and some were sad. Most of the people who were promoted to company-level cadres were smiling. Only Li Tao, although he was also very happy, was always a little gloomy in his heart. He felt that he had been assigned. After looking at the points,

Those who come under his command are either those who are terrified in battle, those who have very few merit records, or those who have made mistakes.

"Even if I'm a logistics worker, I still have to train to the best of my ability. I, Li Tao, am not that bad." He secretly felt angry in his heart, and glanced at his future subordinates with wolf-like eyes, "From now on, all training will be better than Yu's."

Lin Jun’s was doubled.”

The soldiers who were assigned to the logistics company that he scanned did not know what was going on. They only felt a cold air rising from the tailbone, which made people feel chilly in their hearts. Then they looked around but found nothing strange.

Among the twenty squad leaders, except for a very few who were dismissed or stayed put, most of the others took one or two steps forward. The one who made the biggest leap was Li Yuxiao. Even if Zhu Youxiao didn't say it clearly,

But the position of company commander has caused a lot of speculation.

Zhang Shize, who he wanted to compete with before, not only failed to get promoted, but was also moved to the logistics company, which also led to some poor performance, as well as the last twenty or so young men who were recruited.

Zhu Youxiao didn't pay too much attention to these things. He arranged everything according to merit and ability. Apart from performance, everyone here was the same to him.

After the staffing and positions were determined, it became a matter of salary and wages. Zhu Youxiao also had his own set of standards.

He did not divide them according to the Pla's method, but purely based on the number of years in the army. Every year, the salary will be increased by one or two silver. The higher-up officers are also graded in this way, but it is different. They are soldiers.

The salary is based on seniority plus rank allowance. The platoon leader is a second lieutenant, and his rank allowance is 5 taels. A lieutenant, a company commander, and a captain have 15 taels.

As for the squad leader who is not an officer, one will be added to his years of service, which is one more tael of silver. When the squad leader's position is removed, it will be automatically cancelled.

As soon as this method was announced, it was immediately cheered by the whole hall, because this year, everyone is considered a second-year soldier and can receive a salary of two taels of silver. No matter how promising the future is, there is no actual silver in hand.

Exciting.

What's more, this is not all the income of the Yulin Army. The captured enemy supplies will be distributed according to a certain proportion. This is considered a dividend of the war, and everyone can enjoy it.

Then there is the military rank. This Zhu Youxiao was a little lazy and directly adopted the Pla military rank, which is the third level and the tenth level. The platoon leader is a second lieutenant, the company commander is a lieutenant, and so on. Then there are the military uniforms. Basically, he will be in the future.

He took the world's standards as the standard, added some characteristics of this era, and made some changes. He also copied military etiquette and other things, such as the hand salute and the gun salute, he made them all.

Of course, these are preliminary designs, and they will definitely be modified according to the actual situation in the future, but even so, the entire Yulin Army has become much more regular.

Zhu Youxiao read such a complicated matter for half an hour, but no one below him was distracted. They all listened attentively. These were all closely related to themselves.

After the military system was read out, the military code was announced. The three major orders, discipline, internal affairs, and queues were all compiled by Zhu Youxiao and then promulgated. From today on, the entire Yulin Army will be implemented in accordance with these regulations.

.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao didn't just announce it. During the subsequent training, he had to organize people every night to study these things seriously and deeply, including military ranks, military etiquette, military systems, and doctrine.

That night, in the auditorium, a large-scale study activity with Zhu Youxiao as the lecturer began, which lasted for three months. The three major doctrines and military systems were all part of the study. After the study was completed, recruits began to be recruited and all companies were
Chapter completed!
