Chapter 135                                                             

"Okay." Fengcheng Hou said, "This matter is settled like this. The following is the most important thing." Fengcheng Hou paused slightly and said, "Mr. Zhou, your troops outside the city are officially incorporated into the Shenji Camp. Qi Jiguang will also become the chief coach of the Shenji Camp, and these troops will be separated from the coaches of each team. What do you think?"

Zhou Mengchen was stunned at first, and then understood the thoughts of Fengcheng Hou.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to smile bitterly or be grateful.

After the Ming army was ineffective, it seemed that the private department system was restored, and each family in the north had its own servants. Even Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, each department was also the Qi family army and the Yu family army.

Although it is within the court's organization, it may not be its own people in the court's opinion.

This system reached its peak in the late Ming Dynasty. Zuo Liangyu's army of hundreds of thousands of troops was unmoved, which proved that the court was unable to move.

Zhou Mengchen never thought of taking these people and horses for himself. After all, Zhou Mengchen never thought of using these people and horses to do something, nor did he think of overthrowing the Ming Dynasty. After all, it is now the Jiajing Dynasty, not the Chongzhen Dynasty.

The people of the Ming Dynasty are still there.

Therefore, he pulled out these men and horses. It was just for emergency purposes. And the war passed. Zhou Mengchen even sent Ma Fang to his personal soldiers, let alone these men and horses.

I just got busy and forgot to deal with it.

At this time, we will station outside the city to prevent the Tartars from returning.

If this team was transferred into the Beijing camp, Zhou Mengchen also agreed. Although the Beijing camp could not fight, if the people above did not deduct it, the treatment would be good. As for Qi Jiguang, Zhou Mengchen was unwilling to be transferred to the Beijing camp.

Zhou Mengchen did not attach much importance to these soldiers. After all, they had been trained for three months and their foundation was not very good.

Nothing else, these people are all from Beijing. Although they can be called poor people, they are much worse than the real poor people. Qi Jiguang actually told Zhou Mengchen that the best source of troops is the farmers outside the city. The kind of honest people. The people in the city are too slippery and cannot endure hardship.

However, Zhou Mengchen was reluctant to let Qi Jiguang serve in the Beijing Battalion for a long time.

Because Zhou Mengshi Chen wanted to train Qi Jiguang to become a general. How could he let Qi Jiguang stay in a bad place in the capital camp?

Of course, if you plaster gilded in the Beijing camp, Zhou Mengchen also felt that nothing was wrong. As mentioned before, Beijing had a feeling that generals who had served in the Beijing camp would be more likely to gain trust.

So, in Zhou Mengchen's opinion, this is no big deal.

But in terms of nobles, this is the most important thing. This is simply the division of Zhou Mengchen's private soldiers. The private soldiers of various nobles have long been unable to do it. Even the Marquis of Fengcheng may not be able to bring out so many trusted cavalry like Zhou Shangwen.

Zhou Mengchen and the others have also seen it. Although hand-to-hand combat may not work, it is indeed first-class in terms of musket soldiers. They have fought in this way. Some of them are local Beijing and are easy to control young veterans, but they are very envious.

These people arrived in the Shenji Camp and were placed separately. Zhou Mengchen's influence disappeared. In this way, more than a dozen of their families gave this army a share.

They never lacked manpower, and there was a lack of army that could fight on the battlefield. Even Zhou Mengchen suspected that what they were peeping at was the training method of fast training.

Of course, no matter what they think.

Zhou Mengchen didn't care about this matter at all and said, "Okay. However, Qi Jiguang is my disciple and will not be in Shenji Camp for a long time. This is something that must be said before."

Fengcheng Hou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There is no problem with this."

The one who values ​​the most in the future Shenji Camp is Fengcheng Hou. It can even be said that if Fengcheng Hou was not there, this matter would not be so easy to pass. With Zhou Mengchen’s strong support and the foundation of these 3,000 people is enough for Fengcheng Hou to build value.

The Marquis of Fengcheng asked, "Do you have any other opinions?"

The nobles didn't speak.

Fengcheng Hou said, "This matter has been decided like this. The remaining details will be discussed by the people below. Let's continue and the banquet will be held."

Although the banquet was a bit late, it still started.

Zhou Mengchen could only accompany him, but he secretly complained in his heart: "The people below, are there so many people below me?"

Don’t look at the only three conditions here. But in fact, there are many things here. Not to mention anything else, just handing over 700,000 shi of grain is a very heavy task. How can we not check the 700,000 shi of grain? How to ensure that all the food is transported, and there are always tricks in it. For example, there is no sand, no old grain instead of new grain, etc.

This requires people to be responsible.

You can't count on people from the yamen.

What do people from the yamen look like? Zhou Mengchen himself has been in the county yamen, how could he not know?

Even if they use it, they will send someone to supervise.

What's more, a major project is about to begin. Nearly 200 miles of city walls, including construction, raw materials, transportation, refugee management, and money entry and exit. Zhou Mengchen alone is too busy even if he has three heads and six arms.

Even the Shuntian Prefecture Office cannot help? Not to mention how many officials there are in Shuntian Prefecture Office, they are all very clear. The officials cannot trust them.

Only then did Zhou Mengchen know the problem.

Zhou Mengchen used to be the officials of Beijing. He didn't think clearly about the biggest difference between Beijing officials and foreign officials. Is it because Beijing officials are poor, and foreign officials are rich? No, Beijing officials are a person, but foreign officials are a team.

If you really want to do big things, you can’t do all kinds of things. One person can’t do it at all. Especially in this era, the transportation is underdeveloped and there is no telephone number. Many times, you are too lazy to be able to send someone out to represent yourself.

This is the master, I will follow you and wait for a team.

It’s not Yan Song that indulged Yan Shifan. In fact, this is also a routine. Many ministers will help him handle some official affairs with their son. This is both reliable and can also train people. When the child becomes an official in the future, he will not know what the officialdom looks like.

Many ministers do this.

Zhou Mengchen didn't feel that he had a short time to find out that he was missing a team.

Of course, he had a large number of disciples, and there were quite a few people in person and outside disciples, so he could share a lot of things with him. But his disciples were not people in the officialdom after all, and many things were beyond their understanding. They could not count on them.

Moreover, if Zhou Mengchen wants to be in a foreign position, he needs a team.

After all, Zhou Mengchen is not going to waste his life when he goes out. Since he wants to do things, he will definitely have a good time with local snakes, and he needs help even more.

Fortunately, it was not too late to make up for the loss of the sheep. Zhou Mengchen first asked Cheng Guangde to connect with the nobles and finalize all matters. On the one hand, he made a statement through various channels and wanted to recruit staff.

Fortunately, Zhou Mengchen is no longer the same as before.

I immediately received a lot of news, all recommended by others. It was not that Zhou Mengchen had a high threshold, but that Zhou Mengchen wanted to do things when he recruited a staff member. If he accidentally intervened in someone with ulterior motives, Zhou Mengchen would complain.

If someone recommends it, the person who recommends it is the guarantor. This way you can trust it a little more.

The agreement was reached, and Zhou Mengchen immediately became busy. He first organized Shuntian Prefecture to set up a camp at the Jiumen Gate of the Capital to provide relief to the refugees, but the porridge used for relief could only make people survive.

At the same time, he sent his newly acquired aides, the yamen runners of Shuntian Prefecture, and his disciples to register these refugees and collect them in the family unit.

On the other hand, he sent a surveying team led by Yang Hongliang to determine the address of the outer city of Beijing and draw drawings.

There are also people who are mainly Xu Gao, and the personnel seconded from the Ministry of Works, who jointly built cement workshops on the former site of Zhongguan Village. In fact, there are many buildings in the south of Beijing, and there are not many open spaces. Zhou Mengchen placed the cement workshop here, which was originally based on the one hand. After all, even if the Tartars set fire, they would not be able to burn the stove.

Secondly, it is convenient to transport cement to the four-sided city walls.

In short, Zhou Mengchen was very busy coordinating all this.
