From Zhu Jinsong's rebellion to the time when he took control of six provinces, it only took a few years. According to common sense, Zhu Jinsong's army should not have many retired soldiers.

But don’t forget, Zhu Jinsong has always liked to cross the river by touching rabbits. He has always copied the rules and regulations of rabbits and used them whenever he can. Anyway, he doesn’t have to worry about anyone asking him to collect copyright fees.

For example, the Army of the Ming Dynasty, although it has the name of the Five Armed Forces Governor's Office, the actual Five Armed Forces Governor's Office is basically the corresponding five war zones, and the rest of the organization such as corps, divisions, regiments, and battalions are completely copied from Rabbit.

At best, our army's organization is to change some parts that are not suitable for the current environment.

The same goes for the levy of private soldiers and the veteran retirement system. Although some parts are directly copied, there are also many places that have been changed.

Since occupying the entire Shandong Province, Zhu Jinsong's army has been expanding and recruiting new soldiers twice a year. The size of the recruitment is about one army each time, which is about 40,000 people.

For example, the service period of flower growers in later generations was generally two years, and even earlier it was only three years. The service period of the army under Zhu Jinsong started at three years, and could easily reach more than ten years.

At the same time, Zhu Jinsong also stipulated that some older soldiers should be transferred to the army every year, or transferred to second-line troops similar to the armed police, or assigned to local county, state, and government yamen at all levels. These were

There are approximately two divisions of soldiers arranged for demobilization and retirement, which is about 20,000 people.

These veterans who were assigned to local yamen formed a reserve force together with the local peasant association guards. Whether they were second-line troops or reserve forces, the management system was infinitely close to that of flower growers.

For example, the second-line troops are under the jurisdiction of the Chief Envoy's Yamen in peacetime, while the reserve soldiers assigned to local Yamen as Yamen are under the management of the police uniforms and guards under the cabinet. In wartime, they are directly under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Army Governor's Office.

Therefore, even without calling up reserves, Zhu Jinsong still mobilized nearly 40,000 second-line troops, separated them from the original five armies, and reorganized the Sixth Army.

According to the Rabbit Army organization directly copied by Zhu Jinsong, the strength of an army is generally about 40,000, and the strength of six armies is 240,000.

Zhu Jinsong really didn't believe it. The strength of six armies could not defeat a motley crew of more than 20 troops?

Although Zhu Zhongqu's more than 20 coalition forces are claimed to be a million-strong army, Zhu Jinsong feels that it is just a claim. The number that can actually be mobilized to fight may not exceed 800,000, and Zhu Jinsong has never thought of fighting with Zhu Jinsong.

Zhong went to their coalition forces to fight head-on.

Taizu has made it very clear in the Five Volumes of Dragon Slaying Art. The essence of war is to bully the smaller ones when there are more people. When one's own troops are insufficient, the best way is to create one's own troop advantage through rapid combat.

Then concentrate your firepower to kill the opponent's inferior troops.

Whether it is the First Army of the Chinese Army Dudufu under the jurisdiction of Liu Heming, the Second Army of the Former Military Dudufu under Zhu Erdan, or several other armies, these armies were fought little by little when Zhu Jinsong started from Ningyang.

, what he is best at is rapid penetration and long-distance running.

Of course, speaking strictly, what Zhu Jinsong's army is best at is not rapid penetration and long-distance attacks, but ambushes and sneak attacks relying on the advantage of strength and fire.

This does not mean that the Ming Dynasty's army cannot fight frontal battles, but as Major General Li who fought in the Battle of Pinangrad said, the character and temperament of an army are often determined by the character and temperament of the first military commander when the army was first formed.

It's determined by temperament, regardless of the passage of time and personnel changes.

Zhu Jinsong, the Ming emperor, suffered from a severe phobia of insufficient firepower when he started his career. Therefore, what the Ming army was best at was actually clearing ground with artillery and ambushes and sneak attacks.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Huaiwen gets a headache when he hears about war - facing this kind of prodigal son who likes to wash the ground with artillery and use artillery shells and grenades as money, it would be anyone else to be the leader of the Ming Dynasty's financial system.

My son has a headache.

Thinking that the original five armies had been directly expanded to six armies, Liu Huaiwen, the leader of the Ming Dynasty's financial system, became even more troubled.

Especially when Liu Huaiwen thought that those artillery shells, bullets, and grenades would be thrown out by those prodigal sons as if they were free things, Liu Huaiwen especially wanted to rush to the garrison of these armies and scold the chief officers of these armies.

Last meal.

Just when he thought of his own emperor, Liu Huaiwen couldn't help but feel a little desperate.

At this time, Zhu Jinsong was lecturing a group of leaders in the civil service and military systems. The people being lectured included Zeng Cheng, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, more than a dozen ministerial leaders, plus six military levels in the military system.

The capital commander, the twenty-four division commanders, and the intelligence chief Ke Zhiming.

"Now, all the rebels in the world, big and small, want to unite to attack our Ming Dynasty. What can our Ming Dynasty do? We can only fight back."

"But how to fight this battle is very important."

"Listen to us, all of you. Problems that can be solved with cannonballs and bullets will be solved with cannonballs and bullets. If anyone dares to take the lives of the soldiers, even if you have made meritorious service, we will not recognize it.

And not only will I deny you, I will take care of you when I come back!"

At this point, Zhu Jinsong couldn't help but snorted coldly: "The whole world is attacking Ming. I don't know what our Ming did wrong. Why did we offend so many people and actually want to unite to attack our Ming?"

Zeng Cheng secretly glanced at Zhu Jinsong and thought: Is it unusual to conquer the world? If you, old man, were like the rebels in the past dynasties, and quickly win over those rural sages and gentry when you have the opportunity to dominate, I'm afraid the whole world will be

It's been decided by publicity, but you, old man, have always demanded that a peasant association must be established and the land must be equalized, and you have offended all the sages and gentry in the world. How can you still have a good idea?

?

Of course, he was complaining secretly. After all, after following Zhu Jinsong for so long, Zeng Cheng also knew the benefits of establishing a peasant association, and also knew how beneficial Zhu Jinsong's model of rebellion that did not rely on rural sages and gentry would be in governing the world in the future.

How big.

To put it aside, the current mobilization ability of the Ming Dynasty is definitely countless times stronger than that of the Qing Dynasty.

…

Yang Daniu, who was wearing a brand-new military uniform, looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar Xiaoxuzhuang in front of him, and he couldn't tell what he felt.

Under the big willow tree at the head of Xiaoxuzhuang Village, there are still many old men basking in the sun, and there are still many naughty children playing wildly.

Yang Daniu had seen this kind of scene countless times before when he was in Xiaoyangzhuang, Qingxian County.

But Yang Daniu knew very well that although they were both basking in the sun under the big willow tree and basking in the same sun, there was a big difference.

When I was in Xiaoyangzhuang, Qingxian County, the old men were reluctant to burn firewood while basking in the sun, so they could only go out to bask in the sun. However, these old men in Xiaoxuzhuang were basking in the sun simply for the sake of basking in the sun.

Of course, they were also reluctant to burn firewood, but they had firewood but were reluctant to burn it, unlike when they were in Xiaoyangzhuang, Qingxian County, when they wanted to burn but had no firewood to burn.

Including those naughty kids.

When I was in Xiaoyangzhuang, Qingxian County, those naughty children were playing under the big willow tree. It was just because their parents were busy working in the fields and no one cared about them, so they could only gather under the big willow tree and play wildly.

.

As for these naughty children in Xiaoxuzhuang, they probably ran out to play wildly after completing their studies, and maybe their parents would grab their ears and send them home later.

Thinking of the scene of these naughty children being dragged home by their ears, being beaten and screaming in pain as they walked, Yang Daniu, who was obviously still single, suddenly couldn't help but laugh.

Yang Daniu didn't know why he was laughing, maybe he just wanted to laugh.

Maybe if I marry a wife and have children in the future, my life will be like this, right?

Smiling and shaking his head, Yang Daniu simply walked towards the big willow tree.

Yang Daniu had to find someone to ask for directions first.

There was no way, if he didn't ask someone for directions, Yang Daniu wouldn't be able to find where his home was - it had been a year and a half since he left home as a soldier, and during this year and a half, he and his parents

There were only a few letters exchanged.

Through the letters written to him by his parents, Yang Daniu knew that a new yard had been built at his home and his parents had moved to the new yard.

Therefore, Yang Daniu, who went home to visit relatives for the first time and possibly for the last time, could not find his home.

Seeing Yang Daniu in military uniform walking towards the big willow tree, the old men who were basking in the sun stopped basking in the sun and stood up one after another as if looking at Yang Daniu. The naughty children ran to him one by one.

Around Yang Daniu, curious people surrounded Yang Daniu, jumping, jumping and making noises.

Afraid? It’s impossible to be afraid. My parents once said that no matter what kind of danger we encounter, as long as we see people wearing these clothes, there will be no more danger. They protect the people.

Don't be afraid of anyone. Don't be afraid of them.

One of the children, about ten years old, was more courageous. He looked at Yang Daniu for a while and then asked tentatively: "Are you Brother Daniu?"

After Yang Daniu nodded, the child shouted happily: "Brother Daniu, you are back! I am Xu Ergou, do you still remember me?"

Yang Daniu still remembered the name Xu Ergou, but in Yang Daniu's impression, Xu Ergou should be much shorter and thinner than he is now, not as white and fat as he is now.

Touching Xu Ergouzi's head, Yang Daniu said with a smile: "Of course I remember you. You were the best at crying when you were a child. However, now Ergouzi has grown taller and grown up. In a few years,

Ah, I should talk about my wife."

Hearing what Yang Daniu said, Xu Ergou felt a little embarrassed and said coyly: "What kind of daughter-in-law is not a daughter-in-law? What's the matter? It's still early."

After finishing speaking, Xu Ergou looked at Yang Daniu again and said, "Brother Daniu, can't you find your home? I'll take you there!"

Yang Daniu nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll trouble you then."

Xu Ergou chuckled and led a group of naughty children in front of him, shouting as he walked: "Brother Daniu is back as a soldier!"

When they arrived at Yang Daniu's new yard, these naughty children consciously stopped outside the yard and allowed Yang Daniu to go home on his own. Then, their little heads poked their heads outside the gate to inquire about what was going on in the yard.

Yang Daniu pushed open the room, only to see that Father Yang was fiddling with the stove next to the door. Yang Daniu's mother was still lying on the bed against the east wall, coughing from time to time.
