Ma Cheng looked at Xu Zhenye who was leaving and felt a lot of emotion. The intellectuals in the Ming Dynasty were much more backbone than those in later generations. It was Xu Zhenye who had already been begging for food, and he was still very hesitant to hear that he wanted to recruit him. If it weren't for Yue Qijie's intimidation, Xu Zhenye would probably not have come to be his master.

Ma Cheng explained to the servants at the door that Xu Zhenye would be his own person in the future, so he came to him not to stop him. After that, Ma Cheng did not enter the mansion but rode his horse to Nancheng.

The issue of refugees has always been a long-standing problem for the Ming Dynasty. Due to population development, the per capita land in the Ming Dynasty was gradually decreasing. In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang was able to live in such a large number of land, so refugees had already appeared in various places since the Chenghua period. During the Wanli period, land annexation reached its peak, and millions of refugees gathered in Huguang and Wuchang.

During the Tianqi period, coupled with the influence of the Little Glacier climate and the bandit uprising in the first year of Chongzhen, the entire northern China was in chaos, so a large number of northern refugees went south across the Yangtze River and came to Nanzhili to make a living.

As the economic center of the entire south, Nanjing naturally has a large number of refugees concentrated in Nanjing. The refugees in Nanjing are concentrated outside the Nancheng. Because the southern city is prosperous, it requires a lot of labor. In addition, there are a large number of temples outside the Jubao Gate, and these bald donkeys also make some alms from time to time, so there are about 200,000 refugees gathered outside the Jubao Gate in Nanjing.

Outside Jubaomen is the Yuhuatai Scenic Area. Not to mention later generations, it is also a scenic spot in the Ming Dynasty. The nobles and nobles here naturally don’t want to see the stinky refugees, so the refugees are set up in an area far away from Yuhuatai.

Jubao Gate is the inner city gate of Nanjing. There is also an outer city wall twenty miles away from Jubao Gate. However, due to disrepair, the city walls have been destroyed, and only a few city gates are retained.

The private camp was built between the outer Guo Ande Gate, Fengtai Gate, and Jiajiang Gate. More than 200,000 refugees gathered here. You can smell a strange smell when you are far away. This smell is a bit like the pigpen smell of later generations. Ma Cheng covered his nose in the distance.

More than 200,000 people are almost the same as the population of a medium-sized city. In order to maintain public security, the Nanjing Ministry of War has set up three thousand houses here, with one garrison being responsible for it. The garrison house is built at Fengtai Gate, and more than a dozen houses are very grand.

Now there are many people gathered in front of the garrison palace, and a large flag is flying among the crowd, with the words "recruitment".

Ma Cheng's personal soldiers stepped forward to separate the crowd, and Gu Changwei and Wang Xian were so busy inside. Now Ma Cheng's subordinates are literate. The recruitment procedures are complicated. In addition to the requirements for height and physique, they also have to record the soldiers' names, hometowns, and physical characteristics. Only Wang Xian is doing these, so they are naturally busy enough.

Gu Changwei saw Ma Cheng coming and hurried up to salute: "Sir, you have recruited more than 100 people now. There are too many refugees here. I guess you can recruit them when it's dark. But what should I do if there are so many adults at night? There is no place for food and accommodation!"

Ma Cheng looked at the more than 100 people standing aside, all of whom were over 1.6 meters tall, about 20 years old, and they were all loyal and honest people. Ma Cheng was very satisfied after seeing it. Most of the refugees in Nanjing came from Shandong, and a small number came from Lianghuai. These places have been places where elite soldiers have been produced since ancient times. It seems that the quality of soldiers is much better than that of the refugees in Fengyang.

Ma Cheng nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, I'll solve the residence and food, but the amount of recruitment has changed. Now I'll recruit two thousand people!"

The Shenji Camp had a vacancies of 4,000 people. Ma Shiying gave Ma Cheng the order to fully recruit all of them. However, Ma Cheng had a limited number of grassroots officers, so Ma Cheng decided to recruit two thousand people first, and after these people were trained, they would recruit the remaining vacancies.

After Ma Cheng finished speaking, he patted Gu Changwei on the shoulder and said, "Gu San, do your best. The second master of the second person will give you one thousand people!"

Ma Cheng's 100 subordinates were trained by Xu Dahu. In order not to form a solid piece in the army in the future, the command of the army must be separated. This is the reason why Ma Cheng promised to sign Gu Changwei as a guerrilla. It has been more than half a month since Ma Cheng traveled through time. This period of time has made him grow very fast. He is no longer a fool who knew nothing about the officialdom before, and has begun to learn to differentiate.

Gu Changwei was very happy to hear Ma Cheng say this, a thousand people! If they all follow the training intensity of the Second Young Master, these thousand people are more elite than the model of the Governor. Thinking of this, Gu Changwei asked: "Second Master, the little man's younger brother is also a good player. He is now serving in Guiyang. Can the villain's son Gu Yong come? "

In order to cultivate Gu Changwei's power, Ma Cheng certainly allowed it: "Okay, let your brother come and give him a thousand households, and your son Gu Yong is a hundred households!" After Ma Cheng said that, he said to Xu Dahu beside him: "Dahu, allocate the two brothers Xu Dingguo, Anzhennan, Anzhenxi, and Anzhenxi to Gu Changwei!"

Xu Dahu had no choice but to bow to take over his life when he heard Ma Cheng say this. However, Xu Dahu now has a low position and has to have a thousand soldiers under his command, so he didn't take it much. What Xu Dahu didn't know was that after Ma Cheng's division in the army, two major groups had been formed, but it was beneficial to the superior Ma Cheng.

Ma Cheng arranged the matter of repatriation to the private camp and rushed to the Ministry of War. Now there are thousands of brothers who want to have dinner, but not the one hundred people in the past. In the past, Ma Cheng could use his own money to support these people, but now Ma Cheng can't afford it. At least he has to wait until the sugar business grows bigger before he has the ability.

The Nanjing Ministry of War was located in Qianbulang in the East City. It was already in the forbidden area of ​​the imperial city and could not be easily accessible. However, Ma Cheng was already the general of Shenji Camp. He took out the general's seal and the Jinyiwei released them.

The Ministry of War is probably the most powerful department among the various yamen in Nanjing. Ten models stood guard at the door. Ma Cheng came to the dismount stone and then walked to the military department.

When Ma Cheng arrived at the door, he saw two people standing at the door. When he saw that one of them was an acquaintance, he was his eldest brother Ma Luan.

Now Ma Luan has become an official, Ma Luan was originally a juren, and my son Ma Shiying became the chief minister, so it was very simple to bring Ma Luan into the Censorate and become a low-level censor. There were two departments in the Ming Dynasty, the Qinggui were the fastest promoted, one was the Hanlin Academy and the other was the Censorate. However, Ma Shiying also had some shame and did not bring his son into the Hanlin Academy, which was not allowed to enter unless Shujishi, but into the Censorate. However, this was enough for all officials to envy and hate him. After all, Ma Luan was just a juren.

Ma Luan was talking to a middle-aged seventh-rank official at this time. When he saw his younger brother coming and said with a smile: "It turns out that the second brother is here. Come and see Brother Wozi!"

Ma Cheng looked down on him very much when he saw that he was just a seventh-rank official, but his brother didn't want to pretend to be invisible after he said that, so he had no choice but to bow and say, "Ma Cheng has met Brother Wozi!"

The little official also smiled and bowed, as a gift to return.

Ma Luan asked, "Second brother, have you been to Shenji Camp? Why are you here to run to the Ministry of War?"

Ma Cheng sighed and said, "Brother, you don't know that the number of soldiers in Shenji Battalion is serious. I told my father that my father asked me to recruit soldiers alone and then come to the Ministry of War to make up for the procedures. Wouldn't I come here!"

"That happens, Brother Wozi is in charge of the Ministry of War. Let him help you later!" Ma Luan knew that Chen Wozi was very talented, so she wanted to win over his younger brother and Chen Wozi to get to know him.

I knew that Ma Cheng had not fallen in love with this seventh-rank official, but it was true that Ma Cheng was the general officer and the second-rank official. Although the military position in the army was not as valuable as civil servants, Ma Cheng's old man Ma Shiying was the chief minister and served as the Minister of War, so Ma Cheng could fall in love with such a seventh-rank official.

Ma Cheng bowed and said, "Brother, you don't have to worry about this little thing!" After that, Ma Cheng bowed to Chen Wozi and walked into the military office.

Seeing Ma Cheng so rude, Ma Luan cursed angrily: "Brother Wozi, don't be angry. My younger brother is spoiled by his mother. I really don't understand etiquette!"

Chen Wozi smiled and said, "It's okay, don't take Boyu to heart. Zilong is talented and knowledgeable after all, so I shouldn't know that my brother doesn't know!"

Ma Luan had no choice but to his second-generation ancestor brother, so he said a few words to Chen Zilong and said goodbye and left. (Everyone knows who Chen Wozi is. Xiaoma’s most core adviser has already appeared. Have you guessed who it is?)

Ma Cheng didn't know that he had missed his future first counselor just now, but Ma Cheng couldn't care about these things now. The most important thing now is to find a place for his subordinates to live.

The plans of the yamen in the Ming Dynasty were almost the same. The lobby was at the forefront, which was basically not used here, and only if the chief officer changed or there were major matters. The offices of the Ministry of War were in the second hall, and all the departments of the Ministry of War, the Dianma, the martial arts, the Huitong Hall, etc. were here.

The main institutions of the Ministry of War are divided into four Qing officials: Wuxuan, Armory, Vehicle, and Office. Wuxuan officials are easy to understand. They master the rank of military officers, select, promote, and rewards of merit. This is one of the four major fatalists in the world.

The second of the four major fatalities is the Qing Lishu Department of the Armament, which is in charge of military registration, military weapons and military science research nationwide, and has always been in charge of logistics weapons, so this is the second good department of the Ministry of War.

The remaining two are the hard-working departments. The Che Jia Qing Li Office is in charge of the affairs of the whole country, such as the Ma Zheng and the Post Bureau. At the same time, the Che Jia Qing Li Office of the Nanjing Ministry of War must cooperate with the renovation of the yamen and walls in the city.

The Qingli Office of the Office is mainly in charge of military officers' maps, remarks, criticisms, rewards and punishments, pensions, brief reviews of military brigades, and testing. The Office of the Office of the Office of the Later generations is similar to the General Staff of the Later generations, that is, to establish a combat plan. However, war is not something you want to win. If you lose the front line officer, the Office of the Office of the Rear Front will be in trouble, and the Office of the Office of the Rear Front will also be in trouble. Therefore, the Office of the Office of the Six Divisions is the most unlucky official.
