Chapter 1432 New Military Uniforms, Army Expansion
Mu Jiansheng was by Han Yu's side, learned Han Yu's tricks over and over, and copied them directly in Wuding.
The tricks are not new, they just need to be easy to use.
After killing a group of corrupt officials, local tyrants and evil gentry, the reputation of the Second Grenadier Regiment in Wuding reached its peak.
Mu Jiansheng quickly sent people on fast horses to report the results of the battle to Han Yu.
Han Yu was very satisfied after seeing Mu Jiansheng's battle report.
Mu Tianbo was also happy. With Mu Jiansheng being so capable, the Mu family will surely prosper in the future.
"Let Mu Jiansheng expand the results of the battle and continue to the north. Try to eliminate all the Qing troops stationed in the local area before the Manchus and Qing Dynasties can react. Eliminate their effective forces, especially the officials and local tyrants and evil gentry. Leave no one behind."
"You follow behind and take charge of the work, and organize and train rural warriors in the county. Don't expect them to fight head-on with the Qing army, arrest bandits, and maintain basic public order. Those who are willing to join the Grenadier Corps will be assessed, and as long as they pass the test, they will be admitted. Come in and send them to Spring City for training, just two legions are still too few, we need more people."
Han Yu said.
"As ordered." Mu Tianbo accepted the order and left.
After sending the Mu family father and son away, Han Yu found Mu Jianping.
"Your Highness." Mu Jianping stood in front of Han Yu handsomely.
"Do you know how to be a female celebrity?"
"My mother taught me this when I was little." Mu Jianping nodded quickly.
"Made a suit of clothes according to this design."
Han Yu took out a design drawing.
The drawing shows the image of a soldier. The soldier is wearing a dark blue military uniform with red trousers. The buttons are made of brass. There are gorgeous epaulettes on the shoulders and armbands on the arms.
On top of the head is a rimmed round hat.
There is also a black coat on the outside.
On his waist was a water bag, a scabbard and an armed belt with grenades.
Underfoot is a pair of high leather boots.
Looks energetic and handsome.
This is an improved military uniform made by Han Yu after the grenadier period.
The clothing of the Ming Dynasty was fine at ordinary times, but it was somewhat inconvenient during combat. Taking advantage of the large amount of fabrics available now, Han Yu planned to carry out a military uniform reform.
The same military uniforms can not only increase the cohesion of the team, but also make it easier to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy on the battlefield.
The same clothes appearing together are more likely to give the other person a sense of oppression.
Moreover, beautiful military uniforms can arouse the vanity of young people and make them want to join them.
This makes it easier for Han Yu to expand his army.
"Wow, what kind of clothes is this? I've never seen it before, but it's really beautiful."
Mu Jianping's eyes widened and he couldn't move his eyes away from the military uniform.
"How about it? Can you make it?"
Han Yu asked.
"Well, it's a little difficult, but it's still possible."
Mu Jianping nodded.
"Then make a suit according to my figure first and see if there are any problems. If there is nothing that needs to be modified, we will expand the production and let all the soldiers wear the new uniforms."
Han Yu said.
"Okay, give me a day and I will make it."
Mu Jianping nodded.
"By the way, there is also this flag. You can also help make it."
Han Yu took out a piece of paper.
There is a flag painted on it, with a red background, a golden concentric sun and moon in the middle, and a huge bright Chinese character in the center.
This flag was modified by Han Yu after imitating the caravan flag.
The red color represents the rebirth of Ming Dynasty through the baptism of blood, and also symbolizes the fire virtue of Ming Dynasty.
The concentric sun and moon naturally represent the word Ming, which also means that everything the sun and moon illuminate is the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
As for the meaning of that clear word, it is self-evident.
"This will be our flag from now on. Let the craftsmen make it. I want every legion and every city to plant this flag."
Han Yu said.
"It's Your Highness." Mu Jianping took the things down.
Mu Jianping moved very quickly, and it only took him a night's work to have a new set of military uniforms delivered to Han Yu.
"It's so fast. You haven't slept all night." Han Yu felt a little funny when he saw Mu Jianping dozing off from time to time.
"It's okay. Your Highness, please try it quickly. If there's anything inappropriate, I'll take it back and change it now."
Mu Jianping wrung his hands and said.
"Okay, I'll try."
Han Yu put on a new military uniform.
It has to be said that Mu Jianping is very clever and ingenious. Although it is his first time to come into contact with this kind of clothes, he still makes them in a stylish way, which is no different from the basic meaning.
Especially the size, it fits Han Yu just right.
"Not bad, very good."
Han Yu was very satisfied.
"Gather all the women in the city together and ask them to work together to make new military uniforms. As for the wages, they will be settled according to the market price."
Han Yu said.
"Well, making military uniforms can be classified as labor, and you don't need to pay wages."
Mu Jianping said.
"We are not short of this. Moreover, spending this money is much more useful than piling it in the warehouse."
Han Yu said with a smile.
In his opinion, money piled in a warehouse is just a pile of precious metals without any value.
Only when you spend it can you have the greatest impact.
This money is given to the woman as wages, and the woman will use it to buy firewood, rice, oil, and salt for daily necessities, and she will even tear two feet of cloth to make a new suit of clothes.
They go to buy, and the traders make money and then buy materials from higher suppliers for production.
In this way, the entire economic chain will be opened up, and materials and money will continue to flow in this chain. Businessmen will be more motivated, and then they will increase production, so that materials will be more abundant.
And Han Yu can collect more business taxes from it.
This is a huge good thing for society as a whole.
"Oh." Mu Jianping nodded in understanding, but her father told her to listen carefully to Han Yu's words, and Han Yu's words would be whatever he said.
"If you don't understand, don't think about it. Just do it. Your Highness can't be wrong anyway."
Mu Jianping went to recruit women.
Under the leadership of Han Yu, the economy of the entire Spring City began to recover.
Even more energetic than before the war.
Han Yu did well here, and Mu Tianbo and Mu Jiansheng and his son won consecutive battles. They captured 22 towns in half a month and controlled most of Yunnan Province.
At the same time, militia groups were organized in all captured towns to maintain law and order.
Mu Tianbo also sent all the gold and silver confiscated from his house to Spring City.
Even young people have recruited more than 30,000 people, and they have all been sent to the Spring City camp for intensive training.
The newly arrived 30,000 people were organized into three new legions by Han Yu, numbered as the third, fourth, and fifth legions respectively.
With more and more people in his hands, Han Yu felt that the talents under his command were not enough, so he had to promote a few of the original Qianhu to the rank of army commander.
Seeing that their colleagues had all been promoted, the other Qianhu felt itchy, and they all worked hard and worked hard, hoping that one day they could be promoted to the rank of legion commander and lead a single army.
Seeing that he had more money and troops, Han Yu felt that the bigger plan could be implemented.
