Chapter 356 Lan Yu and Mu Ying Can't Wait to See the New Army!

Chapter 356 Lan Jade Mu Ying can’t wait to observe the new army! This is just the surface!

Jian'an.

"Hey, what is the prince going to do?"

"No, why are so many people following the prince out of the city?"

"You don't know? I heard that the imperial court sent a very large observation group, including several marquises!"

…

When the people of Jian'an saw that Zhu Di and his family, as well as officials from the Jian'an Dusi Mansion and the Chief Envoy's Yamen, came out of the city at noon, they were all surprised and commented.

Ye Mao and Shen Ren rode horses.

Looking at the street, he whispered with emotion: "I haven't been to Jian'an for a year, and I feel a little strange."

King Yan has not returned to Fujian this year.

He didn't come to Jian'an either.

So much so that I came to Jian'an this time.

Almost shocked.

Houses with thatched roofs like those in most counties in Fujian have disappeared.

Both sides of the entire Jian'an Center Street are filled with newly built brick houses.

A red masonry.

He inquired about it and found out that it was made in several villages in Fujian that were rich in clay.

It is said that this technique of firing bricks and stones was developed by King Yan in Tuqiao Village.

King Yan's two brothers-in-law are now working in rural areas to establish local village communities. It is they who spread this firing technique.

Nowadays, all the street-facing buildings in Jian'an have been bought by merchants and built into shops.

There are also warehouses under construction everywhere in the city.

Many people in Jian'an became rich because of this relocation.

Jian'an's rural village communities have been fully established.

is exerting force.

Produced in rural areas, baskets, cotton cloth, and satin are used for sea trade...

Businessmen pursue profit.

The people of Jian'an were richer than before, and local gentry and people with some money opened more shops.

At the same time, merchants in sea trade also particularly like Jian'an.

This is not because King Yan is the magistrate of Jian'an County.

After the rural village community was established.

The people were gradually organized and became accustomed to division of labor and cooperation.

Small businessmen are still buying cotton, silk and other materials everywhere.

The original tyranny is no longer satisfied with this kind of petty fighting.

When they have needs, they will send people directly to the rural areas in Jian'an.

If you need cotton cloth, you will distribute the inventory to each village. If you need cotton, you will agree on the purchase contract and price with each village in advance.

In this way, the supply of goods is stable and a large amount of goods can be gathered in a short period of time.

Many powerful and big businessmen in Fujian now prefer to do business this way.

It is precisely this current business model that has caused many Fujian tycoons to begin to reflect on rural village communes and the employee-employed shareholding system, and gradually recognize that this policy originally harmed their interests.

The same is true for Min County.

Big merchants gathered together and all of them established a labor share system.

The living conditions of the people in Jian'an have changed visibly.

Shen Ren looked around. He felt great changes every day he stayed in Jian'an, not to mention that Ye Mao hadn't been here for a year.

I'm afraid the impact will be even greater if the viewing group watches it.

Thinking of this, he immediately smiled and said: "In the future, Jian'an will definitely change more and more. In the past, Jian'an was a famously poor place in Fujian. Because of poverty and the people's instability, the Dusi government was directly established in Jian'an to intimidate and suppress the place. , In the future, the role of our Dusi government will become weaker and weaker. "

Ye Mao glanced at Shen Ren and smiled.

Shen Ren was deliberately showing off.

Although Shen Ren is a military commander.

But he was sure that Shen Ren didn't want the people under the Dusi Mansion's nose to rebel.

…

at the same time.

Jian'an is thirty miles away.

A huge observation team marched slowly.

At this time, it has entered Jian'an territory.

Lan Yu and others couldn't help but be surprised when they looked at the loaded carriages passing by from time to time.

Lan Yu turned to look at Ji Gang who was at the border of Fujian Province and went to greet them, "Ji Gang, after entering Jian'an, why are there so many horse-drawn carriages, ox-carts, and donkey-carts?"

The others' ears immediately perked up.

Ji Gang looked at this group of people and couldn't help but secretly thought: 'What does this mean? You just saw the surface. ’

This year, he carried out secret activities in Fujian and completed the Jinyiwei system in Fujian.

See the most and feel the deepest!

He smiled and said: "These are the fleets used by merchants to transport goods. In order to take advantage of Jian'an's efficient organizational power, many powerful and big merchants have built warehouses in Jian'an, and then allocated the required cargo orders to places where the organization is efficient and the raw materials are produced. In the countryside, there are also some merchants who directly provide raw materials to the people in Jian'an City..."

Yes, it’s organization.

This word is said to have been invented by Zhu Silang.

In short, now all Fujian officials, gentry, powerful people, and merchants often talk about this word.

And they all understand what this means.

Fang Xiaoru interrupted curiously, "Ji Qianhu, this method is what King Yan mentioned, using economic methods to macroscopically guide rural villages to develop to a higher level, right?"

Ji Gang glanced at Fang Xiaoru.

Fang Xizhi, the popular person next to the prince.

He was also the first Ming Dynasty official to come into contact with rural communities.

Fang Xizhi was able to understand this depth after hearing it. He was not surprised at all.

"right!"

Ta-ta-ta...

The sound of rapid horse hooves came at this moment.

Everyone looked at the sound...

Several riders came galloping from the turn in front.

Mu Ying frowned slightly, "Why do people wear such strange clothes?"

"No, there are shoulder markings!" Lan Yu noticed the shoulder markings on the soldiers' shoulders.

Everyone stared at the rushing soldiers and observed them carefully.

Ji Gang introduced: "These are the five hundred personal soldiers of the Prince of Yan. Now they are wearing the new uniforms of the First Regiment of the Prince of Yan's Army."

Lan Yu and Mu Ying looked at each other.

When they saw Ji Gang.

They learned from Ji Gang.

Zhu Laosi's Jilongyu New Army adopted a new military system that was completely different from the Ming Dynasty.

The First Regiment, the First Association, the First Battalion, the First Battalion.

That's all Ji Gang knew for the time being.

Ji Gang didn't know the details.

Obviously, even the omnipotent Jinyiwei knew very little about Jilongyu.

…

As the people approached.

Lan Yu recognized that the leader was Zhou Lang, a yamen runner in Jiangning.

This little guy has become rich now because of Zhu Laosi.

Of course, this person is based on his ability.

Following Zhu Laosi all the way across the grassland, he was promoted to the chief of Zhu Laosi's personal soldiers after returning to the court.

The five hundred people at the beginning were just ordinary soldiers, but His Majesty promoted them one level and promoted them to small flags.

Now, Zhu Laosi has established a new army, which is probably even more amazing.

I don’t know what official position Zhou Lang holds now.

…

Lan Yu was thinking.

Zhou Lang rode closer with a few people.

Oh!

He reined in his horse and saluted on his chest, “I am the commander of the personal soldiers of the King of Yan, the commander of the first cavalry of the King of Yan’s Eastern Army. I greet all the adults in the observation group!”

“I am ordered to welcome you…”

Lan Yu and others looked at Zhou Lang. Most people knew that Zhou Lang was originally a small yamen runner in Jiangning.

At this moment, looking at Zhou Lang, they couldn’t help but sigh secretly: ‘Another small person, who started from nothing! ’

Zhou Lang didn’t have the philistine face of a yamen runner.

The person in front of him was clearly a strong soldier!

Lan Yu, Mu Ying and others, as soldiers, felt the most deeply.

They secretly said that Zhu Laosi really knew how to teach people.

Then, Mu Ying smiled and said, "We know that Zhou Biaotong sent someone back to report to the prince. You stay here. We have some questions that we can't wait to ask you. Is that okay?"

Zhou Lang smiled secretly.

This is not surprising at all.

Your Highness was going to take these people to observe anyway, so there is nothing that cannot be said.

"I obey your command!"

Zhou Lang ordered the brothers who followed him to go back and report, and he stayed to follow the observation group.

Zhu Di's personal soldiers just rode away.

Lan Yu couldn't wait to ask: "Zhou Biaotong, introduce us to your cavalry brigade, your first regiment of the army..."

Zhou Lang said modestly: "Marquis Yongchang can call me Zhou Lang, Biaotong is just our name in the new army of Jilong Island."

Lan Yu smiled and nodded.

Then Zhou Lang began to popularize science for everyone.

"The total number of people in the first regiment of the prince's army is 12,560. There are two regiments and two battalions in one regiment, and each regiment has three battalions. The commander of the battalion is called the captain. The battalion has team officers, platoon leaders, and tent chiefs..."

"Four battalions, two of which are equipped with fire guns, and two of which are sword and shield soldiers..."

"There is also a cavalry regiment. The cavalry regiment has fewer people, only 1,100 people, three battalions, and 300 people in each battalion. Our cavalry regiment lacks war horses. Although the brothers are fully staffed, there are only 500 war horses..."

...

Sure enough!

Mu Ying and Lan Yu looked at each other and said in unison.

When Zhu Laosi defended Min County, he was divided into groups of three or five.

They guessed that Zhu Laosi's new army would definitely apply this small grouping model to the new army.

Facts have proved that this is indeed the case.

"In addition, your highness is going to train another mixed regiment to defend Jilong Island before returning to the court to help. Your highness has to rely on himself for everything. He has no money and can only train so many."

Zhou Lang finally cried poor for Zhu Di.

He didn't want to ask for anything for His Highness.

His Highness would not do such a thing!

He just wanted to tell these people that they could watch but not want to hug the good things when they saw them.

The court gave His Highness almost no help.

The little wealth he has now was accumulated by His Highness's hard work.

Everyone present was a smart man.

How could they not hear what Zhou Lang was saying secretly.

The corners of his lips twitched.

The court did not give anything.

But this development is too fast!

Train another mixed brigade.

According to Zhou Lang, the mixed brigade has more than 5,000 people.

One town, plus a mixed brigade, is close to 20,000 people!

Moreover, according to Ji Gang, the King of Yan also has a new navy.

For a while, not to mention military generals such as Lan Yu, Mu Ying, and Yu Tongyuan, even civil officials such as Song Lian and Fang Xiaoru wanted to go to Jilong Island immediately to see this new army.

If we say that the biggest threat to the prince is this new army!

"Tong Zhou, why didn't the court support the Prince of Yan?" Huang Zicheng said unconvincedly, "The only maritime trade right, isn't this support? Without the privilege of maritime trade, the Prince of Yan can't make money, and can't afford to arm your private army, which only listens to him and doesn't listen to the orders of the court..."

It's unclear what Zhu Silang's attitude is.

But Zhu Silang's subordinates clearly acted as if Zhu Silang didn't owe the court anything.

What is this for?

Your Majesty is like this.

If the prince ascends the throne, will it be difficult for the court to ask them to do something?

Mu Ying, Lan Yu, Fang Xiaoru and others frowned when they heard Huang Zicheng's remarks.

Zhu Laosi is the emperor's son!

This little support.

If you say it out, others may think that Zhu Laosi is not the emperor's biological son.

Huang Zicheng used this support as a bargaining chip for arrogance.

Fang Xiaoru was about to stop Huang Zicheng...

"This lord!"

Zhou Lang gave up and said coldly: "His Highness's maritime trade rights are not for nothing! Has this lord forgotten or pretended to forget? The reason why His Highness is able to do maritime trade is because he eliminated pirates along the coast of Fujian. At the same time, His Highness also shoulders the task of cleaning up the world for the imperial court! "

Huang Zicheng was instantly choked and his face turned red, his nose was red, and it turned slightly purple.

Zhou Lang had no intention of letting it go, and continued: "Now, Fujian has become a forbidden area for pirates. This time, King Yan will also show our new navy to all the adults in the viewing group. We have already selected a pirate area and are ready to destroy it." , Next, our navy will gradually eliminate all pirates along the coast for the imperial court..."

…

This man acted so deservedly.

Isn't it true that in the future, His Highness will develop the territories established overseas well?

Would they also ask for it directly from His Highness in such a tone?

Judging by the taken-for-granted attitude of some of them, this is very likely to happen.

dream!

Brothers, we will never let His Highness suffer such injustice!

"Let me ask this sir, if someone else came to Fujian alone, with only 500 soldiers and more than 1,000 coastal defense officers, he could annihilate 8,000 Japanese pirates, and develop Fujian so well?"

The prince does not owe Daming anything!

If we want to talk about debt, it’s because the court owes the prince!

Ha ha……

Just when everyone was speechless by Zhou Lang, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

Lan Yu suddenly laughed heartily and reached out to pat Zhou Lang on the shoulder, "Well done, this is a real soldier!"

As he spoke, he glared at Huang Zicheng fiercely.

The bad things that will happen in the future will definitely be caused by this group of civil servants!

How can you say it so confidently?

Although they are all from the prince's family, he is still the prince's uncle-in-law.

But they all blushed!

…

He looked at Zhou Lang again.

He really admired Zhou Lang.

It's a pity that Zhu Laosi's people can't be snatched away.

After learning that Zhu Laosi had arranged for them to observe actual battles to eliminate pirates, he could not wait to go to Jilong Island.

Zhu Laosi really didn't hide anything.

…

Xu Da remained silent and had no attitude.

At this moment, I couldn't help but smile secretly.

Shiro has such a group of brothers and subordinates.

From then on, no one dared to show off to Shiro, making Shiro feel wronged!

…

The little unhappiness was cleverly resolved by Lan Yu, and then everyone began to speed up.

After a while.

Jian'an County is far away.

The dark crowd outside the city gate showed that Zhu Laosi attached great importance to the arrival of their group.

…

"coming!"

When Lan Yu and his party saw Zhu Di and others.

At the city gate, everyone also saw the observation group.

The team arrived quickly.

When Zhu Di led the crowd to greet him, Lan Yu and others dismounted one after another. Lan Yu was the first to salute: "Greetings to King Yan, hello to the great grandson!"

Others followed suit and saluted.

Xu Da watched Lan Yu arrange Zhu Di in front of Zhu Xiongying, thoughtfully.

The attitude given by Lan Yu is not insignificant.

Zhu Di was also a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Welcome the Marquis of Yongchang, the Marquis of Xiping, and the observing group."

The two parties saluted each other, and after greetings, Zhu Di continued: "Everyone has been tired from traveling all the way, how about we go back to the city and talk about it?"

"Everything is up to the prince's arrangement." Lan Yu smiled and obeyed.

After both sides mount their horses.

Lan Yu, as the host of the observation group, rode in front with Zhu Di.

He turned around and pointed at the carriage with the wine jar in the back, "The wine in the carriage behind was brought to the prince by the villagers of Tuqiao Village. They used corn straw to brew it. When His Majesty learned about it, he was very happy. In the same village, Yang Laoba was also appointed as an agricultural officer by His Majesty..."

Zhu Di was stunned, and then a smile appeared on his lips.

Corn stalks make wine, he knows.

However, he didn't know how to brew it.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Eight and the others actually did it.

Take a look.

As long as the people are organized and have capital, and they are allowed to do it, they will definitely be able to create results.

There are countless rural areas in Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention that each one looks like Tuqiao Village.

Only 10% of the villages can produce inventions, big or small.

If it spreads, it can push Ming Dynasty to another level!

…

Lan Yu has been observing Zhu Di's expression.

At this moment, I couldn't help but laugh.

He knew that when Zhu Laosi heard about this, he would be even happier than he was when he made corn straw wine.

On understanding Zhu Laosi.

In the imperial court, he will definitely be at the forefront!

"Hiss! Is this Jian'an?"

"Didn't I say that Jian'an is one of the poorest counties in Fujian?"

…

There were exclamations from behind.

Lan Yu came back to her senses and turned around to look. The people speaking were young officials such as Lian Zining, Qi Tai, and Tie Xuan.

Follow the gaze of these young officials and look curiously...
