Sage Zhu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Abba, don't be in a hurry about sending troops. I estimate that Tu Hai will soon bring his 880 bannermen to Guangzhou to die. We will solve it outside Guangzhou city." They are.”
While Zhu Heji was talking, he glanced at his new "Black Fourth Uncle" with a smile, his eyes filled with talent-loving expressions.
He went on to say: "But now, my fourth uncle still has to help me train generals and soldiers... By the first month of next year, if we can train a thousand military officers and train 40,000 soldiers capable of fighting, . Then Tuhai, Sun Yanling and others are not at our mercy? Once we destroy them, the king and the crown prince will be able to expedition north to the Central Plains, expel the Tartars, and regain China."
King Zhu Tian looked back at his "fourth black brother".
Wu Sanwei smiled and said: "Your Majesty, those Eight Banners soldiers are no big deal, they are just dandy boys. Their purpose is just to scare the Han army and the Green Camp soldiers and force them to fight with us. In the first month of next year, our Once the soldiers are well trained, these people will be no problem!"
Although the father of Tianwang Zhu is a bit out of tune, he is still very reliable at critical moments! For example, when Zhu Heji was escorted to Guangzhou last time, he was the one who led the rescuers. Later, I carried it in the capital city of Guiyu for several months! We did a good job in Jieyang this time, especially catching this "Black Uncle".
This "Black Fourth Uncle" is a talent!
Just look at his current official position. He is the chief instructor of the Imperial Guard Academy!
This position is equivalent to the chief of education of Huangpu Military Academy, and is a senior official responsible for military education. And he was able to become this official because of his real ability!
Even though he is not very good on the battlefield, he is a very talented martial artist! Not only was he superb in martial arts, but he was also proficient in troop formations and training - he was the first martial arts champion in the Kangxi Dynasty and the first martial arts champion selected under the rule of Ao Bai. Of course it needs to be cultivated!
So when he was guarding the gate at the guard's office, Oboi specially arranged for Lao Manchu, who was dawdling in the guard's office, to teach him the art of military use, preparing to train him into a butcher with his hands stained with the blood of the Han people.
But I didn't expect that after Wu Sanwei learned his skills, Obai fell. Then he suffered the loss of his name and was cast aside by Kangxi. He finally became useful, but he encountered a "demon" who didn't respect martial ethics. "Tactics"... This is the first time I encounter a demon, let alone Wu San. If you let Dorgon and Duduo fight, you will suffer big losses!
However, Wu Sanwei's skills in arranging troops and training soldiers were very solid, and he was also familiar with the tactics of Manchu soldiers. Therefore, after taking refuge with King Zhu Tian, he immediately presented a second horse-step formation that was very suitable for the current needs of the Jinyi pro-army.
These grenade hammers, flower hammers, etc. are actually equivalent to skirmishing tactics in the line infantry era... Of course, they are much more powerful!
But this does not mean that we can dispense with the array and only use skirmishers to support the market. During the battle of Longtoushan, Zhu Heji reluctantly set up an array and set up fortifications, but was still defeated by Shang Kexi.
If Lin Ahu and Zhuge Military Advisor hadn't reacted quickly, Shang Kexi would have run away!
Therefore, after taking control of Guangzhou, Zhu Heji has been thinking about how to establish an infantry and cavalry array that can adapt to the "sugar medicine" era.
But how to do this? Zhu Heyi is engaged in "Tao, magic and immortal arts", Military Advisor Zhuge is capable of pinching and calculating, Yang Qilong, a great spy... can't do it!
Just when they had nothing to do, his father came to Guangzhou with the formations presented by "Black Fourth Uncle" and "Black Fourth Uncle".
When Zhu Heji saw these two formations, he immediately knew that "Uncle Hei" was a talented person. Because the formations given by "Uncle Black" are neither large nor small, they can be used offensively or defensively. They can be arranged alone or as a small formation within a large formation. They can also be deployed in conjunction with fortifications, artillery and grenades. Soldiers use.
In addition, the "Black Fourth Uncle" also comes with a set of training, scheduling, formation changes, formation, and marching procedures.
Although it is not very "advanced", it is easy to make and can be used immediately!
So Zhu Heji immediately sent the "Black Fourth Uncle" as the chief teacher of the Imperial Guard Academy.
These days, he is running a school for the Royal Guards with Zhu Heji, Zhuge Military Advisor, and some Portuguese officers who are good at using muskets, artillery, and spears, and can arrange Spanish spear formations!
Zhu Heji selected one hundred officers from each of the eight military towns of Jinyi Qinjun: front, rear, left, right, middle, Qin, south, and north, plus the prince's mansion, military adviser's mansion, and supervising the country's mansion. There are a thousand officers in total, and they all attend classes and train every day in the military academy in the Prince's Mansion!
According to the plan, their classes will last until late November. Then we have to go down to the army to train troops... It will not be until the end of December at the earliest that all the Jinyi troops in the eight towns can be trained.
By then Zhu Heji would have 40,000 fighting soldiers on hand!
Thinking of this, Zhu Heji smiled and said to King Zhu Tian: "Abba, we already have some capital now, so we don't have to make dangerous moves like before. We can follow the steps and train our troops before starting the fight. Besides, we still have time to fight. There’s something big to do!”
"What's the big deal?"
"Of course it's the imperial examination!" Zhu Heji said, "A lot of talents have gathered in Guangzhou... It's almost time to take the exam and get a scholarship!"
"Are there many talents?" King Zhu Tian looked at Zhu Heji and asked, "You didn't even take the exam, and you knew there were talents? Who are they? Let me hear them?"
yes?
Who is there?
Zhu Heji scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: "There are Zhou Peigong, Yao Qisheng, Fu Honglie, Zhang Tingyu, Nian Gengyao, Yue Zhongqi..."
The names Zhu Heji reported were not just casual remarks. He used his brain to recall the good generals and officials of the Kangxi Dynasty, and he came up with a few whose names looked like they were Han Chinese, and who were not serving as officials now - at least Yang Qilong, a big spy, didn't know that they currently had official positions.
Zhu Heji planned to put their names on the list of Jinshi in the first subject of Fuming as a countermeasure.
Maybe it’s just covered? For such a person, even if he dies, he will earn a lot of money! And it costs nothing.
Fu Honglie and Zhou Peigong did not know that they were already "certain to pass this subject" at this time. At this moment, they were traveling to Guangzhou day and night. Taking into account the schedule, it was just in time for the "college entrance examination" that I had thrown myself into.
He has the token issued by Tuhai in his hand, and he can go anywhere in the Qing Dynasty! After entering the territory of the Ming Dynasty, he took out the "recruitment notice" issued by the Xingshizi Mansion, and of course it was passed without any hindrance.
So on September 28th, we arrived at a newly established pass next to the Sanyuanli Fortress under construction in the north of Guangzhou City.
This pass is the starting point of the Guangzhou City Defense Area, and it is also the only open passage into Guangzhou City from the north by land.
Most of the people coming in and out from here have already changed into Ming Dynasty clothes... There are also "Confucian scholars" in black clothes on the bridge who are cutting people's braids with knives.
Of course, it’s not like everyone is cut off with a knife. Businessmen from the "Qingtong District" will receive a "tax tag" after paying the "braid tax". The tax tag is engraved with a few English letters and Arabic letters that only the top students of Tianwang Academy Youth Hall can recognize. number!
The reason for this is of course to "prevent counterfeiting" - corresponding to the tax tag is an archive book, which records the issuance of the "tax tag". For example, on what day and month was it sent to whom?
When this person who has paid the pigtail tax and received the tax tag wants to leave Guangzhou City, he must hand in the tax tag at the Sanyuanli Pass, and then match the name, month and day of arrival, etc., in order to keep his name. The braids leave.
Otherwise, you will have to accept the investigation from Jinyiwei North Town Fusi! If it is found that he is not a spy, he can leave after paying a fine.
When Fu Honglie and Zhou Peigong wanted to pass through the Sanyuanli Pass and enter the suburbs of Guangzhou with a few entourages, they were surprised to find that most of the people queuing up to pass were not businessmen but scholars, and many of them had the same haircut as them. A scholar wearing a melon cap and long gown. However, most of the scholars seemed to be elderly and somewhat downtrodden old scholars.
Fu Honglie and Zhou Peigong themselves were dressed as scholars, but they didn't look downcast. They were accompanied by big bodyguards and rode tall horses. It looked like they had a good background, and they might have a college degree.
Therefore, the nephew of Mr. Yu who was responsible for guarding the pass, a Jinyi pro-junior Baihu officer named Yu Xiaowu, took the initiative to greet him in a very polite and virtuous manner.
"Are you a scholar or a filial scholar? Where are you from?" Although this household in Xiaowu belongs to Fusi, Jinyiweibei Town, he also has a round face that is friendly and brings wealth - Lao Yu's family The people all have round faces and look particularly kind.
"Fu Honglie was born late," Fu Honglie quickly turned over and dismounted, bowed his hands and saluted, "he is from Jiangxi...he has the reputation of being a filial and honest person."
"Zhou Peigong was born late." Zhou Peigong also stood up and dismounted. "People from Jingmen in Hubei also have a reputation for filial piety and integrity."
"Xiaolian, good, good!" When Yu Xiaowu heard that both of them were Xiaolian, his face burst into laughter. He didn't even ask them if they wanted to take a look at the "Examination Flag" (certificate for a person to travel in the world). He directly made a sign of respecting guests, "You two Xiaolians, please come to the bridge! I will personally apply for a 'braid tax license' for you... By the way, you two Xiaolians don't plan to cut off your braids yet. Right? You can get extra points if you take the exam with your braids cut off!"
"Extra points?" Fu Honglie was stunned, "What points are added?"
Zhou Peigong also asked: "What is dividing?"
"Extra points for the imperial examination! We use a points system for the imperial examination this time. The higher the score, the easier it is to win!"
Yu Xiaowu explained very enthusiastically, "Although you two are good at knowledge and can get into Jinshi without adding points, but if you add ten or eight points, you might get into the first place? Besides, you still have to do something after you get into Jinshi Officials, if you become an official in the Ming Dynasty, of course you have to cut off your pig tail pigtails. So sooner or later, you have to cut off your hair, so why not do it now!"
