Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 31
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, almost all the power of the whole country was used to build the Guanning line of defense, which was almost a bottomless pit.

The financial collapse in the late Ming Dynasty was not caused by the vassals, but by the Liaodong defense line.

For example, even in the Chongzhen period, more than 2000 million shi of grain could still be collected every year, but gold and silver could only be collected a few million taels, and three rates had to be increased.

The three salaries are the Liao salary, the suppression salary and the training salary. A total of 2000 million taels were collected, almost all of which were swallowed up by Guan Ning.

Originally thought to be capillaries, who knew it would evolve into large arteries spurting blood.

To be honest, if there was no foreign aggression from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, even if Daming faced so many rebellious troops and disasters, it might not be possible to subjugate the country.

Zhu Yixi is not very interested. At present, Li Zicheng has become big. It is not a question of whether Daming will die or not, but when will it die.

After a night's rest, Zhu Yixi came to the General Medical Office. It was still busy here, and there was an endless stream of soldiers seeing the doctor.

After the inspection was all right, he prepared to select [-] soldiers.

As for why it is not as good as the folks recruiting people themselves, the reason is very simple, no one can recruit.

In other words, the young and strong people in the entire Xi'an Prefecture were almost wiped out by the Qin army.

First of all, he would definitely not be able to choose an elite like the train battalion.

As for Gao Jie's cavalry, he didn't dare to move, and the cavalry was unwilling to dismount as infantry.

Naturally, he had to go to other military camps, such as Niu Chenghu, Luo Shangwen, Chen Yongfu, Wang Ding, Guan Fumin and other camps.

The elite of the Qin army were indeed all in the train battalion, and the rest of the battalions were full of recruits, uneven.

As the deputy general, Luo Shangwen personally accompanied him:

"Brother Zhu, if you are interested, you can just say that things like the plague must be dealt with as soon as possible."

Zhu Yixi saw this group of people, tall, short, fat, and thin, but they had been training for half a year. Those who knew some drills, flags, and military orders could save him a lot of time.

"Thank you, General Luo!" Zhu Yixi straightened his mind and said softly, "The plague in Xi'an is extremely terrifying, so there are only three requirements for the soldiers to be sent, obedient, honest, and not afraid of death."

"Brother Zhu, you chose well!"

Luo Shangwen laughed, stroked his beard, and said, "In the final analysis, you have to be obedient."

"You can say that too!"

Zhu Yixi nodded.

"Okay!" Luo Shangwen is indeed a veteran who has followed Sun Chuanting for many years, and he has a deep understanding of each battalion and has a lot of relationships.

He directly expounded Zhu Yixi's request. In each battalion, the elite servants directly passed by and picked hundreds of ordinary soldiers.

The faces of the battalion owners remained unchanged, obviously very satisfied with this.

"Brother Zhu, look at these soldiers, are they all right?"

Luo Shangwen pointed to the two thousand honest and honest soldiers and asked with a little complacency.

"Not bad!" Zhu Yixi felt that these people fully met his requirements, and couldn't help but feel satisfied.

"Besides, I tried my best to pick some people who have been to the General Medical Office. In this case, it will be more convenient for you to control them."

Soldiers who have recovered from illness are always a little grateful, and they have a good impression of Zhu Yixi, so commanding is naturally convenient.

Now, Zhu Yixi was convinced. He picked up a jade wishful thinking and put it in Luo Shangwen's hands: "I'm really sorry for your inconvenience."

"Hey, you and my brother, why do you need this?" Luo Shangwen evaded.

"It should be, it should be!" Zhu Yixi hurriedly stopped: "If you don't accept me, it seems that you don't treat me as a brother."

"This, I'm reluctant to do it."

Luo Shangwen smiled all over his face. He was quite satisfied with Zhu Yixi who would come. He couldn't help but whispered: "Brother Zhu, in this troubled world, your medical camp and craftsman camp are actually innumerable."

"These 2000 people, you take care of them, hire a veteran, and practice a bit, there will always be some benefits in the future."

"Few people in the Qin army take you seriously, but with these 2000 people, everyone will have a high opinion of themselves, and they can speak louder when they do something."

"At the end of the day, there's nothing the military can do."

"Thank you, brother, for your enlightenment!" Zhu Yixi became friendly, and these words really touched his heart.

"This is common sense in the military." Luo Shangwen waved his hand, casually glanced at Yu Ruyi in his hand, secretly happy in his heart, this is worth a lot!
As he spoke, he said cordially: "These 2000 people have to be taken care of, and they can be used after training."

Zhu Yixi's thoughts were wandering. Judging from the meaning of these words, he wanted to recommend candidates!

Isn't this borrowing the chicken to lay the egg?More disgusting than myself.

"How can it be so troublesome!" Zhu Yixi pretended to be casual: "Anyway, it's just epidemic prevention, just practice casually, how can it be too much trouble."

"That's right!" Luo Shangwen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "You're right."

And Zhu Yi led [-] soldiers to the outside of the general medical office in a mighty manner, and established a barracks again.

First of all, you have to choose officials.

Establish the most basic leadership system from the corps chief, the chief, and the captain.

Immediately, it was building camp, washing, and eating. After finishing the three things, it was already dark.

Since the new official took office, everyone was more excited, but no one poked trouble, and it was peaceful and peaceful.

However, Zhu Yixi is also an ordinary person after all, and he has little experience in leading troops to fight.

"Could it be that you really want to find someone to lead the army?"

"No rush, no rush!"

Zhu Yixi thought about it and returned home.

When I arrived, I saw bright lights, sedan chairs parked outside the door, and a team of servants.

"Who is visiting?"

Zhu Yixi wondered in his heart, and then Shisan came up to meet him, and hurriedly said: "It's Zuo Yi (rang), Zuo Zongbing!"

"Huh?" Zhu Yixi was startled, why did this guy come to my house?

Zuo Xie was the commander-in-chief of Yulin. He fled without a fight in the Battle of Gardens last year. Since his father Zuo Guangxian was a veteran general, he was only fined [-] horses.

The other person, Xiao Ding, was beheaded directly.

Zuo Guang first suppressed thieves for decades, and his influence in Yulin, northern Shaanxi, was extremely huge.

Zhu Yixi was quite nervous.

Entering the hall, I saw a big man with a thick back, sitting and drinking tea, looking at ease.

"Zuo Zongbing, how come you have the honor to visit the humble house?"

Zhu Yixi said with a smile.

The two had no conflict of interest, and he felt nothing to be afraid of.

"President Zhu, you are back."

Zuo Ying showed a slight smile, cupped his hands and said, "I've heard about your name for a long time, but seeing you today, you are indeed a good-looking talent."

"Where is it!"

Zhu Yixi took advantage of the situation and sat down, feeling suspicious in his heart, but his face remained calm: "The humble house is too rudimentary, I hope the general soldier will not blame him."

"No matter where, the Jinyiwei Qianhu House can't accommodate everyone."

Zuo Yan said directly: "I'm here this time, and I won't hide it from you. I'm really idle at home. Because of last year, too many generals and schools under my command have been idle."

"I heard that you have 2000 people and are short of support, so I want to find a place for them to eat."

Come to devour it openly?I really didn't pay attention to me.

Zhu Yixi was shocked and his face turned cold.
