Chapter 348 Zhu Di's New Army! Lu Zhen Reveals the Secrets of the Crown Prince!

The next day.

Jilong Island New Army Camp.

Zhu Di, Xu Huizu, and Xu Miaoyun arrived at the camp.

The camp of five thousand people is very large.

Behind the river embankment in the bay is the flattest area, covering an area of ​​two hundred acres, all planned as an infantry camp.

Yu Jing and Shen Zhi followed on horseback and walked into the camp. After a casual glance, they couldn't help but be jealous and whispered: "Damn Fatty Jiang, every time he comes to the infantry camp, I want to kill him! "

The infantry was under the jurisdiction of Tan Yuan, Zhang Wu and others.

He very much suspected that Fatty Jiang had specially approved the 200-acre camp just because he knew Lao Tan and others first and had a good relationship with them.

Otherwise, in these four seas, their navy is the real main force. Why does the navy build a shipyard, but Fatty Jiang only gives him 100 acres?

Shen Zhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Old Yu, you have no conscience."

The land for the infantry is not on the coast, but behind the coast. Although there is little open land here, there is no shortage of these two hundred acres.

Moreover, King Yan had 20,000 private soldiers.

This is just now.

After King Yan completely left the Ming Dynasty, no matter how many armies he developed, there was no need to worry about the feelings of the Ming Dynasty.

This barracks will also become the training base for King Yan's infantry.

Now it is normal to leave enough land for use.

The shipyard is on the coast.

High-quality areas must be set aside and allocated to commercial banks.

Moreover, the navy is not limited to shipyards. Do warships no longer need to dock?

In the bay, the best deep-water port was allocated to the navy alone.

His Highness did not mention that Jiang Jinzhong had already considered for Yu Jing that in order to separate merchant ships and warships, a separate water fortress would be built for the navy in the future.

Ensure that the enemy cannot use merchant ships to attack naval warships in the bay.

This year, Lao Jiang, who was 200 pounds fat, lost dozens of pounds for the sake of the prince's foundation in Dongfan. He looked at it with emotion.

This is completely inconsistent with the image of Jiang Jinzhong that the Shen family learned about.

hey-hey……

Yu Jing smiled shamelessly.

Lu Zhen and Liang Daoming followed behind, listening to their discussion, with surprise flashing in their eyes from time to time.

Liang Daoming leaned slightly towards Lu Zhen and whispered, "Senior Lu, Jilong Island today is completely different from Chen Zuyi's time!"

It was different from the chaos and disorder of the pirate den during Chen Zuyi's period.

Today's Jilong Island is full of high-spirited cohesion and full of vitality.

They arrived a few days earlier than Zhu Di.

Zhu Di arrived on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.

After obtaining Jiang Jinzhong's consent, their group went upstream along the Jilong River Valley to observe various resettlement sites.

"I have a feeling that this high-spirited cohesion can hardly cover Jilongyu Bay. One day, it will let out a dragon roar and rush out of the bay!"

How should they deal with themselves at that time?

This year, I made a lot of money.

However, he has not yet thought about his future and destiny.

The old nest of Lu Zhen Plum Vase is located in the northeast of Jilong Island.

When the dragon of the fourth prince rose up and rushed out of Jilong Island Bay, Lu Zhen's lair was the first to bear the brunt.

No matter how good the relationship between the two parties is.

The Fourth Prince probably couldn't tolerate it, a force that didn't belong to him lying on his side!

Lu Zhen remained silent.

There are some things that cannot be said to Liang Daoming.

Near the end of the year, a Jin Yiwei appeared in the Plum Vase driving a boat.

Claiming to be here on behalf of Prince Zhu Biao.

I hope he can be loyal to the prince.

Lurking around the Fourth Prince.

This person also left him a Jinyiwei Baihu waist badge and a set of Baihu official uniforms.

Is the other party really the prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Biao?

He had no way of verifying it.

He even suspected that the names given by the other party were all fake!

If it is really Prince Zhu Biao.

Doesn't that mean.

The rumors that the Ming Prince and the Fourth Prince have a deep brotherly love are all false?

He came here this time just to tell the fourth child of the Zhu family about this.

The prince is too far away from him.

But the fourth child of the Zhu family was by his side.

Moreover, now, hundreds of brothers under his command are completely dependent on Dayan Trading Company for their livelihood.

Dayan Trading Company was also good to them. At least, this year, the brothers made a lot of money from it.

Even if you don't do it now.

Being a commoner on Dongfan Island can lead a prosperous life.

What's more, he admires Zhu Di more than the prince whom Zhu Yuanzhang loves!

…

Everyone was talking and thinking.

Soon we came to the Dianjiang observation platform that had been arranged for a long time.

Five thousand people have already formed an array.

Although they are basically a group of new recruits, they lack a bit of murderous intent.

It can be horizontal or vertical, forming a neat array of straight lines, majestic and solemn. Even if he is an old soldier, his eyes can't help but shine.

Lu Zhen and Liang Daoming looked curiously at the same time and followed Zhu Di and his party to the observation platform.

This was the first time they saw this new army.

After everyone took their seats.

Zhu Di strode to the front of the observation platform and stepped on the wooden board, making a clicking sound.

Everyone felt it clearly.

At this moment, Zhu Di was different from the past.

Xu Miaoyun hugged Xiao Yongming and Xiao Qihua, looked at Zhu Di's back, lowered her head, and whispered with a smile, "Look, is Dad more powerful?"

"Take a break!"

At this moment, Zhu Di's voice suddenly sounded.

despair!

When Lu Zhen and Liang Daoming frowned in confusion, the five thousand soldiers stretched out two-thirds of their left foot in the direction of the toes at the same time, straightened their legs naturally, and kept their upper body in an upright posture.

Liang Daoming and Lu Zhen looked at each other in horror and subconsciously stood up.

They knew too well what it meant that everyone was against this small action, and everyone did it at the same time!

Discipline that enforces orders!

Zhu Di couldn't help but smile.

Tan Yuan and Zhang Wu, leading 300 coastal defense soldiers, were able to train a group of mostly illiterate farm boys to such a level in one year. I'm afraid they must have sweated a lot.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

Tan Yuan stood at the front and saluted loudly.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

Five thousand people followed and shouted.

The mountain shouts startled the seabirds in the bay, and they flew up in groups.

"Brothers' families have settled in Dongfan. From now on, I will lead my brothers to take root in Dongfan, protect our families, and use our swords and guns to create our future. I, Zhu Di, swear here that the lives of all of us will only get better and better in the future!"

...

Liang Daoming whispered, "Senior Lu, look at the eyes of these soldiers!"

He actually saw conviction and admiration!

These are all new recruits.

Zhu Di never led them to victory!

Moreover, Zhu Di was busy building the local villages and communities in Jian'an for more than a year, and he came to Jilong Island only a few times.

While listening to Zhu Di's speech, Lu Zhen said: "These soldiers all came from the Jilong River Valley resettlement site we visited yesterday. Before they came to Dongfan, they were all tenant farmers. After coming to Jilong Island, they divided the land and established the local villages..."

...

"If you are willing to give them so much and consider them so much, they will do the same to you!"

Liang Daoming smiled bitterly.

Even if he wanted to, he didn't have the talent.

This year, he was also excited and tried to build a local village community in Srivijaya, his own territory.

No surprises at all.

Failed!

There were too many people who opposed and sabotaged.

Even his own family members sang the opposite tune!

How else can we do it?

After a few months, he lost interest and gave up.

"Okay, next we will start to distribute new military uniforms. The cloth used for these uniforms is all woven by our Jian'an villagers..."

After the Jian'an rural village was built.

He bought a batch of cotton.

Subcontracted to rural women, and according to the method of Miaoyun weaving labor cloth, let the rural women of Jian'an work together to weave this batch of cloth.

In this process, farmers made money.

They also learned the weaving model of division of labor and cooperation in Tuqiao Village.

After completing this task.

Shen Zhi struck while the iron was hot and sent the Shen family weavers to the village to guide the rural women of Jian'an to weave cotton cloth needed for sea trade according to the requirements.

According to Shen Zhi, this kind of low-priced cotton cloth woven in the countryside will not worry about the market for sea trade.

In short, he has begun to use economic methods to guide the development of Jian'an rural villages to a higher level.

In the next year, he will try to use economic methods to guide Jian'an, Minxian, and other villages in the built rural villages.

……

Zhu Di was thinking.

Several carriages were pulled to the front of the formation.

Tan Yuan and others began to distribute new military uniforms to the soldiers.

Now the soldiers were wearing uniforms, which looked a bit like servants' uniforms.

No, they were servants' uniforms.

At that time, he was in urgent need, so he asked the Shen family to help make them uniformly.

As for the new military uniforms now, Dayan Trading Company hired people to cut the clothes first, and then the sewing was subcontracted to women in Jian'an City.

Many families also made some money.

"Eat the food of King Yan, wear the clothes of King Yan, receive the salary of King Yan, and serve King Yan!"

The first soldier suddenly shouted loudly after receiving the new military uniform, and then every soldier shouted loudly after receiving the clothes.

The people behind looked at Zhu Di one after another, thinking.

Zhu Di didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shouted: "Tan Yuan, come here!"

Tan Yuan was startled, smiled bitterly, stood at attention, turned around, trotted onto the observation platform, and came to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di stared sharply.

Tan Yuan mustered up his courage and met Zhu Di's gaze.

How could he have thought of these things?

It was Zhang Dakou, Qiu Laoer and Zhu Laosan who, under the pretext of sending the perfected military manual to His Highness, wrote to him through the post station, telling him to train this army to be absolutely loyal to His Highness and no one could interfere!

But these three bastards didn't tell him how to do it.

He was just a rough man.

He couldn't think of a way.

So he asked Fatty Jiang for advice.

Finally, Fatty Jiang racked his brains for a long time and came up with this slogan.

"Don't betray me, don't betray me..."

At this moment, Jiang Jinzhong was like a partridge, shrinking his neck and muttering in a low voice.

Xu Huizu sat in front of Jiang Jinzhong and heard it clearly. He turned his head and saw that Jiang Jinzhong wanted to find a cave to hide, and couldn't help but smile.

My brother-in-law's group of friends and subordinates all felt the grievances that my brother-in-law suffered in the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, they all used their own actions and methods to help their brother-in-law strengthen his strength.

Everyone knew that only when the fists were strong enough, no one would dare to give the brother-in-law a face and let the brother-in-law suffer grievances.

It was really for the brother-in-law.

If they were for themselves.

They would instigate the brother-in-law to fight for the throne, or fight back to the Ming Dynasty!

...

Zhu Di's eyes gradually softened.

How could he not know the good intentions of Tan Yuan and others.

But this method is not good.

If he did this, someone would dare to do it secretly.

Just like the father adopted a son and used the son to control the army.

Lan Yu, Feng Sheng and his gang also dared to follow suit.

Many historical records have proved that this method is not advisable.

After going to sea, he will have absolute control over the power he has established and will not let anyone interfere!

Brother, no!

Neither can my father!

Go to sea.

It's equivalent to dividing the family.

As long as his eldest brother and father are in need, and as long as the Central Plains still needs Zhu Di, he will not hesitate and do everything he can to go back and help.

But my father and eldest brother must not interfere in his 'household affairs'.

He had already planned this.

Therefore, he designed new military uniforms for this army.

A new military system.

…

call!

Tan Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

snort!

Zhu Di hummed slightly, "Don't do this thing again in the future. I don't need this thing. When we go overseas to develop, it is not this thing that unites people's hearts, but the beautiful ideal of rural village community + employee-employed stock system..."

Jian'an's preliminary tests have proven that this set of things can be realized.

As long as Yongming and his descendants persist.

It will surely win the hearts of the majority of people.

Moreover, this set of ideals can also allow all ethnic groups in the world to ignore the so-called ethnic differences to the greatest extent.

It is mixed with Central Plains culture.

It is very conducive to his promotion of Central Plains culture and assimilation of ethnic groups from all over the world.

There is such a good way.

Why did he choose the narrow approach of 'eating from him, wearing his clothes, and receiving his salary'?

…

Liang Daoming listened to Zhu Di's teachings to Tan Yuan, and couldn't help but close his eyes and smile bitterly.

This fourth prince is so ambitious!

Where should he go?

…

No one really understood Zhu Di's ambition until this moment.

Snapped!

Tan Yuan excitedly beat his chest and saluted, "Your Highness, the general knows!"

…

It took a long time.

The new military uniforms have just been distributed.

Zhu Di immediately ordered everyone to return to the camp and change into military uniforms.

It's approaching noon.

Groups of soldiers walked out of the camp, marching in uniform steps, and re-arranged in front of the observation platform.

"this……"

"This is so majestic and beautiful!"

"I've seen this military uniform before, but I didn't expect it to look so good on me!"

"Brother-in-law, give me a set!"

…

When the soldiers lined up again, everyone stood up in surprise.

Thick black labor cloth, cut into a one-piece jacket and trousers.

The gown has large lapels, buttons on the cuffs, and a wide black cloth belt around the waist to tighten the gown.

The lower trouser legs are tied into boots made of cloth.

The military ranks on the shoulders are very similar to those of the Ming Dynasty.

Red background sword pose.

But there are no stars, moon or anything like that.

Use bars and triangular gold stars to distinguish levels.

The military system did not adopt divisions, brigades and regiments.

Instead, the new military system of the late Qing Dynasty was adopted.

Town, association, standard, battalion, team, platoon, shed.

Now there are more than 5,000 people, barely the strength of an alliance.

There are more than 13,000 people in a town.

In the future, two towns will be built.

…

Each shed has 2 officers and 2 officers, and 4 officers.

A Xie, three thousand gunmen, equipped with swords.

There were 2,500 sword and shield soldiers.

and five hundred cavalry.

Archers were directly eliminated from his new army.

There was no way, he couldn't afford it.

Bows and arrows are more expensive than fire guns.

Moreover, it takes too long to train an archer.

In fact, after being equipped with long-barreled fire guns, the value of archers in the army will become even weaker.

There is no need to spend time configuring and training archers.

The hat is a "flying saucer hat" made of rattan cloth.

no way.

He would rather get an iron helmet.

Strength does not allow it.

This kind of rattan hat is made of rattan armor that made Zhuge Liang embarrassed.

Soak in tung oil.

Fifty steps away, an arrow cannot penetrate.

Even a knife can't cut it.

That's enough.

Let's wait until iron smelting develops further before considering iron helmets.

In short, this military uniform is very good. When fighting, you only need to wear chain mail.

Moreover, his infantry only wore half armor.

Full body armor is too cumbersome and affects the mobility of the infantry.

…

"Your Highness is too partial!"

Yu Jing murmured in a low voice, looking at the infantry uniforms with jealousy, wishing he could rush up now, take off Tan Yuan's clothes and wear them on himself.

After the Marquis of Yongchang and Xiping came to Fujian, it would be really cool for him to wear this military uniform.

The infantry has it, but why doesn’t their navy?

When Zhu Di heard this, he turned around with a smile and glared, "You guys have them too!"

Only then did Yu Jing grin.

Later, Zhu Di and his party had lunch at the camp.

In the afternoon, we will also observe the training situation.

…

period.

Looking for an opportunity, Lu Zhen took Ye Wenju to a secluded place, looked around, and after making sure there was no one around, said solemnly: "Second brother, I am going to confess to King Yan that the crown prince sent Jin Yiwei to win over us!"

Ye Wenju nodded without even thinking.

Everything I saw and heard today was shocking.

Now explain the situation.

To have a better time, after observing the training in the afternoon.

There is greater sincerity now!

Immediately, the two brothers walked towards Zhu Di...

Please ask for monthly tickets, recommended tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.

Xinjun wants to write this chapter in detail, but I don’t know if everyone can accept it.

It is mainly to prepare the way for the observation group to come to Jilong Island and return to Jinling later.
