At this time, all departments in Denglai were absolutely busy, especially the training department, which saw a surge in territory this year, but managers were far from enough demand.

The work of measuring land and registering household registration is carried out one by one.

When the people of Laizhou and Qingzhou heard that Zhao Yan wanted to rent land, the self-cultivated farmers were a little resistant. Even the black households rushed to register their household registration.

It is not possible to register. The land measurement work has been carried out. The land of the people who are not within the scope of taxation of the government is also within the scope of measurement.

The autumn harvest also arrived as scheduled, and the Denglai towns suddenly became busy. The people who were in the Denglai towns had a very high labor intensity.

They had to do much more than the people in any part of the Ming Dynasty, and they also had to participate in training. Although they had more money, Zhao Yan would still feel guilty from time to time when he saw the busy people. Therefore, every summer harvest and autumn harvest, soldiers from various battalions would definitely go to the fields to help harvest.

The autumn harvest is still the same today. The two main forces of the Denglai Legion and the Liaodong Legion have also given up their training and participated in the autumn harvest.

What is a family between a military and a civilian family?

When Denglai saw the harvest scene, he could understand that this was a relationship without any artificiality.

Zhao Yan called Song Wenyuan and Zhang Buyun and explained to Zhang Buyun: "From tomorrow, the Propaganda Department will focus on promoting the prosperity of America. It is necessary to make the people in the village yearn for it, and in addition, they will strengthen ideological propaganda and strengthen national consciousness."

"If all the people are immigrated to the Americas, the development of the garrisons may stagnate." Zhang Buyun was puzzled and reminded Zhao Yan.

"Dengzhou is not suitable for development, I understand this. We don't need to move people out in one go, we take it step by step." Zhao Yan said, and then told Song Wenyuan to the brick: "The Ministry of Education has accelerated the training of teachers, and both male and female teachers must be trained. Then, a group of teachers will be drawn to literacy in the young and strong villages in each village, which can reduce military training in the villages. Is there any problem with the teacher?"

"There should be no problem. After the lord Changping won a great victory, it was much easier to recruit literati. This month, the recruitment bureau recruited more than 1,000 literati, and the Ministry of Education was halfway." Song Wenyuan replied, "The recruitment bureau recruits more personnel, and our faculty will be more abundant next year."

"That's good. As long as we complete literacy education in Denglai, we can immigrate overseas on a large scale." Zhao Yan felt extremely comfortable when he thought of this.

When I recruited talents in the past, people heard that he was a little military officer and ignored him.

Since Changping defeated the Qing army, Zhao Yan has become famous in the Ming Dynasty. Now almost no elite class in various parts of the Ming Dynasty knows him.

Although a famous person has a big goal and is easily calculated, it is also very beneficial, and recruiting talents is obviously much easier.

The recruitment method of the recruitment bureau is very simple. Anyone who can write and calculate is recruited, regardless of whether it is useful or not, and then it is rebuilt.

First train for a period of time, and instill ideas. Then you will be assigned to grassroots positions, and then promote them based on ability and loyalty.

Loyalty accounts for a larger proportion than ability. No matter how high some intellectuals have, if they do not have enough sense of identity with the various systems of Denglai, they will only be eliminated.

It is not necessary for everyone to feel a sense of identity as soon as they arrive. They will reason with them during training. They will explain the benefits of various systems clearly.

If it is still stubborn, it is really a rotten wood and can only be discarded.

After Song Wenyuan and Zhang Buyun left, Zhao Quan hurriedly ran in and whispered in Zhao Yan's ear: "Sir, Mao Yuanyi is here to vote."

"Mao Yuanyi?" Zhao Yan stood up in surprise, "Why is he here?"

"I came secretly from Zhangpu." Zhao Quan whispered: "I'm living in the guild hall now."

"Let's go there now." Zhao Yan attached great importance to it and walked straight towards the guild hall.

(Mao Yuanyi (1594-1640), whose courtesy name was Zhisheng and his pseudonym Shimin, was appointed as the minister of Donghai, the master of Mengge, the Duke of Banshijieshan, and a native of Gui'an (now Huzhou). He read a lot of books, likes to talk about military affairs, knows the strategies of military use in ancient and modern times and the situation of the Nine Borders, and is well-versed in oral and hand-painted. He writes "Wu Bei Zhi" in the first year of Tianqi (1621), and has 240 volumes of the book. After it was published, his reputation rose and he was appointed as the deputy general for his talent. He served as the staff of the general of the army, resisted the Later Jin Dynasty and went south. He got the key points for his advice and made suggestions.

. Chongzhen ascended the throne, submitted the "Wu Bei Zhi" and promoted to Hanlin Assistant. He was a powerful minister, Wang Shi, and was slandered by Zhang Ruitu. He exiled Jiangcun (now in Hebei) on the charge of "Apologizing to the Supreme People", and kept thinking about his mistakes. In the winter of the second year of Chongzhen (1629), the Later Jin cavalry forced the capital, and the court was frightened. He followed Sun Chengzong to the army and supervised the Juehua Island navy as the deputy general of the General Office. He was also dismissed by the powerful minister Liang Tingdong. Later, he was imprisoned for military agitation and was sent to Zhangpu, Fujian for "great changes", and died of worries and anger).

In addition to discussing pure military affairs, it also includes science, technology, sports, transportation and other content. The book has 240 volumes, 738 pictures with more than 500 place names recorded in the picture. It is a geographical map of China recorded in Asia and Africa before the 15th century. The two parts of the book "Military Capital" and "Duzai" are the most fascinating. The military capital carries, warships, gunpowder, firearms, water conservancy, canal transport, medicine, horses, etc. are directly related to science and technology; the relevant courts, coastal defense, river defense and navigation involve geography

, Mapping, shipping technology and firearm use. The "Zheng He Navigation Chart" in "Du Du Zai" is the most systematic and complete ancient navigation chart in China. It depicts the journey of Zheng He's huge fleet when he was sent to Western countries in the 15th century, the name, direction, topography of the location, and routes from Nanjing, starting from the South China Sea, countries along the Indian Ocean coast to the east coast of Africa, etc. Mao Yuanyi's life was served with passion and passion, but died in the party struggle. Mao Yuanyi was from the Sun Chengzong faction, which had been suppressed to the end.

When the Denglai Army was established, Mao Yuanyi's "Wu Bei Zhi" was studied and absorbed a lot of content.

After all, Zhao Yan is a modern person and does not know much about the details of ancient marching and fighting. The military books written by "Wu Bei Zhi" and Qi Jiguang also prevented the Denglai Army from taking many detours.

When Zhao Yan arrived at the guild hall, he met a middle-aged man in his thirties, who looked a little dusty.

"Mr. Mao, this is my general." Zhao Quan introduced Mao Yuanyi.

"Mao Yuanyi has seen the general." Mao Yuanyi hurriedly bowed to Zhao Yan, and Zhao Yan hurriedly held him and said, "Mr. Mao is the senior, how dare you take this gift?"

"Otherwise, General Changping defeated Jianlu's mighty power and ensured peace in the Ming Pass. This ceremony can be taken care of. I am ashamed of being a waste of my ambitions, but I have no place to perform. In early August, I heard in Zhangpu that the general wanted to restore Liao in three years and came to help the general." Mao Yuanyi said solemnly.

"With the help of your husband, it will be enough to restore Liao in three years." Zhao Yan smiled happily and ordered Zhao Quan: "Let me prepare wine and food to welcome Mr. Mao."

"As a sinner, the general can just call me Mao Qiao in the future." Mao Yuanyi said. He was sent to Zhangpu. This time he came to the siege. If the court knew about it, it would be a big trouble.

"Okay!" Zhao Yan nodded.

...On the same day, people from General Zhao Yan's headquarters and the General Staff invited him to welcome Mao Yuanyi. After everyone knew that he was Mao Yuanyi, they couldn't help but toast him.

Mao Yuanyi was warmly received. He has experienced too many favors over the years and was very moved. After the banquet, Zhao Yan settled him in a unique courtyard in the fort.

This area is where high-level personnel live, and everyone lives in such a small courtyard.

The next day, Zhao Yan took Mao Yuanyi to visit.

Zhao Yan didn't know how to arrange the issue of Mao Yuanyi, so he could only choose it himself.

Mao Yuanyi is an expert in firearm research and is also proficient in military affairs. He can go to the General Staff, the Military Weapon Bureau, or even lead troops. However, leading troops requires training in the recruit camp for a period of time.

The first thing I visited was the Military Weapons Bureau.

As soon as he entered the Weapon Bureau, Mao Yuanyi saw an extremely busy scene, with assembly lines running, constantly creating various weapons and arms.

"This military weapon bureau supplies nearly 140,000 soldiers' equipment, from swords and guns to guns, all of them are produced here," Zhao Yan explained.

"140,000! Isn't it only 45,000?" Mao Yuanyi asked in shock.

"Denglai is indeed only 45,000, but Yingzhou and Handan each have 50,000 second-line troops, which were used to suppress the bandits, but the bandits have been much calmer recently and have not launched a large-scale attack on the east." Zhao Yan said.

"Hong Chengchou is tired of dealing with the Qin territory, it's only a matter of time before the East invasion!" Mao Yuanyi sighed, "But the general has 140,000 troops, only if he commands properly, he will be very sure to restore Liao in three years."

Zhao Yan just smiled and continued to take Mao Yuanyi to visit the Military Weapon Bureau.

Mao Yuanyi became more and more surprised when he looked at the Military Weapons Bureau. The professionalism of each workshop here was beyond what he saw. All the ones they made were swords and guns, and the armor was extremely professional, and he actually used water to build plate armor.

This kind of plate armor is worn on the body, which means that it is wrapped with a layer of steel plate, and its defense can be imagined.

"Is there all the army armor?" Mao Yuanyi asked.

"We have an iron-producing base in Handan. It's okay to build such plate armor, but only spearmen and cavalry are equipped with plate armor. Musketeers and artillerymen use leather armor, but the oxen need to be kept for farming, and the second-line troops do not have leather armor." Zhao Yan explained that today's fiscal revenue has soared, so naturally there are many plate armors that I want to build.

However, what really shocked Mao Yuanyi was the firearm laboratory. The artillery laboratory had a special team to build the artillery.

Various new manufacturing technologies made Mao Yuanyi confused.

"Although I am good at firearms, I am not as good as the craftsmen here. Staying here is not very useful." Mao Yuanyi said to Zhao Yan after visiting the artillery laboratory.

"Then let's go to the recruit camp to have a look!" Zhao Yan said to him.

The two of them came to the recruits camp, but they saw a busier scene. Nearly 40,000 recruits were undergoing training, and the recruitment of the recruits never stopped.

The most trained cavalry in the artillery battalion was the cavalry, with the number of cavalry accounting for 20,000. These cavalry were trained using inferior horses.

Mao Yuanyi looked at the 20,000 cavalry who were moving forward collectively in amazement. He had participated in many wars with the Later Jin army. He had never seen any big scenes, but the 20,000 cavalry were different.

These cavalry were wearing black plate armor, and all the horses were moving forward neatly. The neat formation was something Mao Yuanyi had never seen before.

It turns out that cavalry can be trained like this!

Next, Mao Yuanyi visited the training of spearmen, musketeers and artillerymen, the cold gun array, as well as the volleys of muskets and artillery, and the rocket bombing shocked Mao Yuanyi to the point of numbness.

Mao Yuanyi knew from the details of the visit that the Denglai Army had already formed its own system. People like him who were created by the old system were simply unable to be qualified to lead troops unless they were trained in this recruit battalion for a period of time, but there was no shortage of talents like him in the Denglai Army.

Finally, Mao Yuanyi proposed to go to the General Staff to take a look.

There are more than 50 staff members in the General Staff Department, with twelve main staff members, and the rest are all attacking.

The General Staff was also very busy. At this moment, the maps of Liaodong and North Korea were gathering and compiling. Mao Yuanyi looked at the maps and found that the maps were surveyed and mapped very carefully.

"General, let's do it here!" Mao Yuanyi decided to say that map surveying and making suggestions are also his expertise.

"Okay, then take the position of deputy chief of staff in the General Staff!" Zhao Yan said. The other personnel of the General Staff couldn't help but be stunned. They looked at Mao Yuanyi carefully, but didn't understand who this was. As soon as they entered the General Staff, they were promoted to deputy chief of staff.

Knowing that Mao Yuanyi's identity is Liu Heng and two other deputy chiefs of staff, they did not feel anything wrong with Zhao Yan's appointment.

Mao Yuanyi wrote the book "Wu Bei Zhi" and later served as a staff member of Sun Chengzong. His military literacy was far from comparable to those of them, literati from a wild background.

At this time, Zhao Yan reported: "Lord, the Liaodong Special Forces Brigade has sent information. After losing 50,000 troops, Jiannu is stepping up the training of the Eight Mongolian Banners and the Eight Han Banners, and also sent troops to the north to capture savages on a large scale. Eight savage tribes have been captured."

"At the same time, they strengthened the defense of the Liaodong Peninsula, with the troops stationed in Lushun reaching 3,000, and the troops stationed in Jinzhou reaching 3,000." Liu Heng marked the punctuation marks of many Qing soldiers stationed on the map.

"Then will they invade North Korea next year?" Zhao Yan asked.

"This is hard to predict, it can only be said to be between 55 and 5. It is possible that their attack on the court will be postponed due to a great defeat." Liu Heng said.

"Huang Taiji will definitely attack the North Korea. Many people in the Qing army followed Nurhaci to fight continuously and had outstanding military achievements. If Huang Taiji was obviously unable to convince the public now. With the great defeat of Changping, although Huang Taiji could shirk responsibility, it would inevitably intensify this phenomenon. If he wanted to convince the public, he had to achieve some record and would pick the soft persimmon of North Korea." Mao Yuanyi on the side predicted that although he did not know the plan for the encirclement, he knew very well about the Qing army, "What's more, at the beginning of the great defeat, he needed a war to revitalize their morale."
