"kill!"
"kill!"
In the southeast of Hepu County, a large camp rose from the ground.
After being instructed by Li Jin, Zhu Biao had people build a large camp in the southeast of Hepu County that could accommodate 100,000 troops.
At this moment, in the camp, 30,000 troops are training hard on the camp's school grounds.
"Master Li, can training like this really produce elite soldiers?"
Zhu Biao and Li Jin stood on the edge of the school grounds, constantly observing the recruited soldiers and checking their training status.
But Zhu Biao felt that Li Jin's training methods were a bit extreme.
It can be said that Li Jin's training methods are various, such as push-ups, frog jumps, cross-country running, all kinds of training methods, squeezing every ounce of strength from these soldiers.
This time Li Jin did not pay much attention to the formation, but trained his personal abilities to the extreme.
It seems like everyone is being trained to become an elite.
Zhu Biao could only have a vague understanding of military affairs, but he was still a little frightened by Li Jin's training method.
He was afraid that Li Jin would force the natives to rebel if he oppressed them so much.
However, Li Jin was very interested and could not help but curl up a smile and said:
"Of course we can train elite soldiers, and these people will probably be one of the Ming Dynasty's special forces fighting in the mountains."
"But can these natives tolerate training like this every day?"
Zhu Biao had doubts.
Li Jin waved his hand, indicating that this was nothing.
"These natives have grown up in the mountains and forests, and their physical fitness is far superior to ordinary people."
"As long as they can keep up with food and meat, their bodies can tolerate it."
"I asked you to organize a pig farm in the county. How is your performance there?"
Zhu Biao looked a little strange when he heard this and said hesitantly:
"When the people heard that they wanted to set up a pig farm, no one dared to agree."
"They all say that if the current emperor's surname is Zhu, he will be angry if he runs a pig farm."
"Moreover, pigs are such beasts that are manic and active every day. They eat a lot of food but grow very little meat."
"Not only that, the pork is fishy and smelly, and even a little sour. It is really hard to swallow, so there are no people willing to raise pigs."
Li Jin frowned slightly when he heard this, and after thinking for a moment, he said:
"No people are willing to raise pigs, so we will raise pigs ourselves."
"Immediately set up a pig farm in the name of the government and place it in Nancheng, Hepu County to facilitate the transportation of pork to the soldiers."
"But to avoid suspicion, we can change the pig farm into a hog farm, so that it won't arouse the emperor's resentment."
"As for the problem of pork being fishy and not easy to gain weight, I have my own way to solve it. You first have to have the pig farm set up as quickly as possible."
Zhu Biao glanced at Li Jin dubiously. He always felt that Li Jin was dissatisfied with the emperor?
This is why they want to hold a hog breeding farm to vent their unhappiness.
After all, everyone at this time knew that pork was unpalatable and smelly. Who among the dignitaries would eat pork?
Moreover, pigs are very irritable and have difficulty gaining weight. Raising pigs is simply a losing business.
But seeing Li Jin's confident look, Zhu Biao could only nod silently. At this time, he could only believe Li Jin.
"I will instruct people to build the hog breeding factory later."
Li Jin nodded and continued to ask:
"Have all the wastelands that have been cultivated over the years been distributed?"
"How did the common people and natives react?"
Having said this, Zhu Biao's expression became obviously excited and he said happily:
"Since we started dividing the land, the natives who were still a little restless immediately fell silent."
"After the land was obtained, these natives were grateful to us and no longer had the intention to riot."
"Not only that, they heard that joining the army can provide tax exemption for their families, so they actively sent their family members to serve in the army."
"Except for the natives, other Han people behave the same way."
"Now these native people live together with Han people, and the elected Han officials are also supported by these native people."
"Our strategy of reforming the country and returning it to the outside world has begun to bear fruit."
"I believe that in less than a hundred years, these natives will be no different from the Han people. By that time, there will still be people in these villages, but there will no longer be chieftains, only officials from the Ming Dynasty."
Li Jin is also very satisfied with this result. In the past few months, he has used higher food prices to attract a large amount of food to Hepu County.
Then, as a government official, he forced those grain merchants to sell grain to him.
After waiting for the food to be in place, Li Jin used the food as bait to catch the toasts willingly, and waited until all the toasts were caught and sent to the capital.
Then he gathered the natives for his own use, and finally replaced the officials to manage these natives.
Step by step, he integrated all the chieftains around Hepu County, link by link, to complete his initial plan of returning the land to the locals.
Now that he has achieved such results, Li Jin feels very relieved.
"In this case, the next focus is to appease the natives to cultivate with their heart, and at the same time, the chieftains in the north of the place will come in to cause damage."
"It is best to report to the imperial court and ask the imperial court to send troops to the southwest to wipe out the chieftains in Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou to relieve the pressure on us."
"If we can defeat these chieftains, then our strategy of reforming the land and returning it to the local people can be implemented throughout the southwest."
"By then, the problem of chieftains in the Ming Dynasty will be completely eradicated."
Zhu Biao was so excited by the grand blueprint described by Li Jin that his face couldn't help but flush, and he said excitedly:
"I will go back and write a letter to the emperor later, asking the emperor to send troops as soon as possible."
"Taking our Hepu County as an example, the strategy of reforming the native land and returning it to local residents is definitely the most effective way to control the chieftains."
"If the emperor can really send troops to the southwest, then we can also provide support for them on the flanks."
Li Jin didn't say anything else, he just looked at the sergeants who were training hard on the school field.
These people are not only natives, but also Han people, but they have one thing in common, that is, they were all sent to military camps by their parents.
Before coming, their family members gave them numerous instructions to behave well in the military camp.
Because of them, the family not only loses one of the laborers who can feed them, but they can also reduce taxes on the family's fields. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
As long as they are in the military camp, the tax reduction policy will always exist.
Therefore, no matter how hard and tired these soldiers are, they will grit their teeth and persevere. After all, they still bear heavier pressure, which is the expectations of their parents.
Now after a month, they have long been accustomed to the intensity of training. No matter what kind of training items, they can do it at their fingertips.
Li Jin looked at their training progress again, nodded with satisfaction, and finally explained:
"We can let them practice weapon formations."
The weapons are naturally firecrackers, shields, swords, shields, and spears.
The formation method is what Li previously wrote in his new performance book, the Yuanyang Formation.
Although these natives are undisciplined, fighting in the mountains and forests also requires formations.
Especially in the future, most of them may be jungle encounters, which will further test the flexibility of the formation.
The Yuanyang Formation and the Sancai Formation are the most suitable formations for these soldiers.
The combination is a large army formation, with swords and shields in front, spears in the back, and fire guns in the middle. Unless faced with heavy firepower and artillery, it is difficult for anyone to break through the defense of the Yuanyang Formation.
The chieftains in the southwest don't even have a few muskets, let alone artillery.
Therefore, the Yuanyang Formation is definitely the most desperate formation for the southwestern chieftains, bar none.
Among the few personal guards Li Jin brought, there were instructors who had previously trained the Yuanyang Formation. Naturally, the training of these 30,000 people was given to the instructors.
As for the firecrackers and weapons, Zhu Biao needed to write a memorial to Zhu Yuanzhang, and asked Zhu Yuanzhang to transfer them from the arsenal in Shanghu County to give these hard-trained soldiers a good practice.
When Zhu Biao heard that he was asked to write a memorial to the emperor, he only felt one head and two big.
You must know that Zhu Yuanzhang originally had great objections to his leaving Qinzhou, but now he repeatedly wrote to Zhu Yuanzhang asking for help, which made Zhu Biao feel a little embarrassed.
However, thinking about the changes in the southwest in the future, Zhu Biao finally gritted his teeth and said seriously:
"In that case, I will write a memorial to the Emperor when I get back. I hope the Emperor will not embarrass us too much."
