After Zhang Mingwei got straight to the point and was honest with each other, he properly arranged everything for the refugees. In the end, they were even more excited to enter Jinyiwei. The refugees acted very quickly. They lined up in villages and towns to receive the goods. With money and food, I carried my luggage and embarked on the road back home with a lot of gratitude.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yuji next to Zhang Mingwei was very emotional.

Over the years, he has fought in the north and south, and has seen countless refugees. But I have never seen refugees being arranged so well that they can return to their hometowns happily.

However, when Zhou Yuji thought about it carefully, he could only sigh with emotion at the master's methods. It was so obvious that even the emperor was fully cooperating with him to solve the refugee problem! Without those two wills, these refugees might not have left so easily!

However, he also understood that those two decrees must have been written by adults! It can be seen from this how much your Excellency is valued by the Emperor!

However, on the other hand, in the past, no ministers were favored by the emperor, but which minister could care about the people's hearts?

All the princes in the temple regard the people as rotten dogs and lambs to be slaughtered. Who can think of them wholeheartedly and risk their lives for them?

Zhou Yuji led the troops to fight and knew how important it was to win the hearts of the people. The same is true. Among the current imperial officers and soldiers, only the Yongwei camp has truly done nothing to offend the local Qiu. Because of this, the Yongwei camp was victorious in every battle, but the number of people in the Yongwei camp was too small!

Everywhere in the Ming Dynasty was full of beacon fires. Today, the Yongwei camp has been split into three parts to fight the fire. However, the power of the bandits is growing.

Zhou Yuji was not a fool. Faced with this situation, he was deeply worried. However, with limited money and food, the Yongwei camp could not expand at all, so it could only attack more with less every time. As long as there is one failure, it will be irreversible!

While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Zhang Mingwei say to him with a smile: "The emperor has previously told me to practice with the Jinyiwei to see if I can form a Jinyiwei army that can fight. Look at these people. how?"

Zhou Yuji immediately came back to his senses, glanced at the young men who were selected to join the Jin Yiwei, and immediately nodded and said: "My lord is wise, you must not choose rogues from the market, nor should you choose people from the city when choosing an army. Marshal Qi once said , the best source of soldiers is the miners. However, the general thinks it is good for you to choose honest, honest, and hard-working soldiers from these refugees!"

At this point, he hesitated for a moment, and finally asked Zhang Mingwei: "I just don't know how many years the emperor will give you to train your troops? How about the money and food preparation?"

Although he just heard that these soldiers are not paid. However, to train them, they must be fed, and this food consumption is also very large. It is also necessary to give both kindness and power, and to use reward money to stimulate.

After listening to this, Zhang Mingwei remembered that if historical development were to follow, the country would be destroyed in two years. What's more critical is that at the end of the year, Jianlu will invade the Kou Pass in large numbers, and the bandits in the pass are everywhere attacking cities and territories.

Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Although Your Majesty didn't say it, I think it must be as soon as possible!"

"..." Zhou Yuji was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "The general said it bluntly, please don't be offended! In order to train an elite army that can win battles, generally speaking, it takes three Years. Insufficient training, unclear banners, and lax orders. Once we encounter an enemy with stronger combat capabilities, something will happen!"

Organizing and training the new army has been done by many officials before. For example, Xu Guangqi, who was famous in the early years of Chongzhen, organized and trained the new army in Tianjin. At that time, Xu Guangqi promised Emperor Chongzhen that it would take three years.

Of course he wasn't just saying it casually, there must be some basis for it. However, the situation in the Chongzhen Dynasty cannot be given three years at all. Therefore, the entire Chongzhen Dynasty, apart from selecting elites and forming brave guard battalions, which were regarded as new uses for veterans, did not train a new army that could fight.

At this time, when Zhang Mingwei heard what Zhou Yuji said, he certainly would not think that Zhou Yuji was trying to scare him and lie to him. Therefore, I felt pressure in my heart.

In his original idea, of course he thought of queuing up and shooting. Generally speaking, this training method will definitely take less time. However, since he came into contact with Zhou Yuji, he has asked for advice on fighting, and he has understood more deeply that even if a single unit of arms can win on the battlefield at the beginning, if the battle continues too many times, the enemy will definitely come up with ways to crack it. of the law.

As a result, it will take time to train a mixed-arms combat army.

Thinking of this, Zhang Mingwei suddenly remembered that he was still so reluctant to even ride a horse. this……

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Zhang Mingwei made a decision in his mind. War was imminent and he had to adapt his thinking on the army side.

………………

While the two of them were chatting, a very small number of people who came out of the city came to donate money and materials, while more people came to watch the fun or even laugh.

They suddenly saw the refugees in the refugee camp happily leaving together, and they were dumbfounded. But the facts were all in front of them, and when they came to their senses, they were a little confused!

"What's going on? Why are they gone?"

"Yeah, look at how happy they are, what exactly is going on?"

"Looking at this situation, do they all want to go back? So the refugee problem in the capital will be solved?"

"No way. What method did Mr. Zhang use to make all the refugees outside the city happily leave the capital?"

"..."

Didn’t the refugees who came to the capital stay here all the time? The scene before them was truly beyond their understanding.

So, they hurried to inquire about the situation. After they figured out the reason, they were all shocked, and many people even ran to the city, apparently to inform the city.

"What? All the refugees outside the city have returned to their hometowns? And they are returning to their hometowns happily?"

"The refugee problem was solved so easily by him?"

"..."

The dignitaries in the capital and the princes in the temple all found it unbelievable after hearing the news. In their view, even if Zhang Mingwei can solve the refugee problem, it will never be solved in a short while.

Some of them even thought about helping Zhang Mingwei go to the capital and advertise it widely, saying that with Zhang Qingtian in the capital, no one would starve to death. This would attract more refugees. Look at Zhang Mingwei. How to fill this bottomless hole!

However, they all still wanted to see the excitement. Zhang Mingwei had already solved the refugee problem. Even if they send people to spread the word, refugees will not be able to arrive at once! This means that after the refugees outside the city are gone, the refugee problem will really be solved!

It’s only been a few days, but it’s really been resolved?

Many people in the city who wanted to see the joke didn't believe it and went out of the city to see for themselves.

As you can imagine, when they left the city, almost half of the refugees were gone. This speed is far beyond ordinary people's imagination. It's really the kind of thing that can go at a moment's notice!

So, they were dumbfounded.

"Master, Master Zhang told the refugees that if the refugees leave early, he will be free to catch corrupt officials!"
