Chapter 36 Loyal General
…
Jinwu Army garrison.
Cai was still training in full swing with five hundred strong recruits like calfs according to the training intensity of the later teaching team.
The teaching team is the place where the army in later generations cultivates and trains candidates for non-commissioned officers and squad leaders.
If you starve to death, you won’t go to the kitchen team, if you are exhausted, you won’t go to the teaching team!
The teaching team has always been a particularly hard and tiring place.
This is certainly true. The training intensity of the teaching team may be second only to the training intensity of the special forces.
But then again, high-intensity training can quickly hone and forge people, and can also produce excellent commanders and non-commissioned officers.
Only through such high-intensity and intensive training can the recruits grow rapidly and these 500 farmers form a army quickly.
Moreover, Cai is still ambitious - Cai is still preparing to regard these 500 Jinwu Army as the seeds of his own thousands of troops.
Based on this, Cai still trained them with the direction of excellent commanding officers who are "aware of command, understand teaching, know how to organize training, and be good at managing", and tried his best to stimulate their command ability, training ability, basic skills and management education ability.
This undoubtedly increased the training intensity of Jinwu Army recruits.
But in response to this, the new recruits of Jinwu Army counted one and all had no complaints.
Why?
First of all, most of the new recruits in the Jinwu Army were honest and decent farmers, and most of them were timid and obedient.
Secondly, the treatment and welfare of the Jinwu Army - I won’t say much about the treatment. Now the army of the Song Dynasty has not given enough military sound like the Jinwu Army. Even in the Western Army, which is best treated now, it is impossible to get enough military sound like in the Jinwu Army. Moreover, in addition to giving enough military sound, the welfare of the Jinwu Army is also good. When joining the army, both military uniforms are given, and the best military uniforms are all the best in the imperial guards (in this era, this is a real property). Each year, each is given a set of military uniforms. If you have a spouse to accompany the army, you will also arrange things and give "living difficulties subsidies for spouses with no work and followers". You can apply for "relief fees" in family difficulties, etc.
Secondly, the Jinwu Army's food is good, very, very good. Not only can you eat enough every meal, but there is also meat every meal, and it is a large piece of meat. It is said that the Jinwu Army's kitchen kills a pig, three sheep, or dozens of chickens every day, and the fish are pulled in in baskets. This is definitely something other troops can't even think about.
Again, and most importantly, Cai Shen never watches others train, but always takes someone to train himself. Sometimes, Cai Shen’s training intensity is more than ten times or even dozens of times that of others. In this case, while others admire Cai Shen for being as if he is a striking fight, who is too embarrassed to complain?
...
While taking the recruits to the circle, Cai was still worried!
The Jinwu Army was on the right track, but its pockets were almost empty.
At that time, the military pay that Cai still received when he took office has been spent so much now.
If there is no money, Cai may still be unable to stabilize the situation.
Recently, Cai has been studying several gangs of robbers around him, preparing to send troops to encircle and suppress them to see if some of them can be seized and relieve his pressure.
But those robbers are not big in size. Not to mention whether they can successfully encircle and suppress them, even if they can successfully encircle and suppress them, their little money will be just a drop in the bucket and they can't hold on for too long.
Therefore, this is just a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
Since the soap seemed to have failed, Cai was still preparing to study a base and build a glass manufacturer to solve the problem of military pay once and for all.
Glass beads are not worth a lot?
Just kidding, Columbus's guy took the glass beads and exchanged them for gold from the native South Americans.
Doors, windows and glass are not worth it?
In this era, windows are covered with paper, and they are not transparent, and they cannot block the wind and rain.
It can be imagined that once the glass window appears, it is definitely an expensive luxury.
Can't see the appearance clearly in the bronze mirror?
Try it with a glass mirror to ensure that you can even see your pores clearly.
Such a mirror is not expensive, right?
Telescopes, myopia glasses, reading glasses, aren’t all magical tools for making money?
There is also a glass greenhouse that allows people from the Song Dynasty to eat fruits and vegetables in summer in winter.
Such off-season things cost 100 times the price, isn't it considered dark, right?
Therefore, as long as Cai Shen’s glass factory can be built, Cai Shen will never be short of money anymore.
The problem now is that Cai is still too weak. Not to mention that he cannot protect the gold chain of the glass factory, he just wants to find a safer base.
This is also the main reason why Cai has not released the big killer weapon of glass.
Why!
Money!
How can we get out of this dilemma?
At this moment, a guard soldier ran towards Cai Jian.
The soldiers on guard came to Cai Shen near and said, "Report!"
Cai still ordered: "Everyone has it, establish...there is a certainty!"
Cai Jian returned a bow to the soldiers on guard, and then said, "What's the matter?"
The soldiers on guard replied: "Report to the general, the servant sent by Yan Xiaoniang asked to see the general!"
Cai still heard the words and frowned!
Cai Jing’s Mingluan Hall is not his home after all.
Moreover, Cai is still preparing to develop here in Yangwu County for a period of time.
So, shortly after taking office, Cai Shen bought a small courtyard in Yangwu County and took Su Niang, Xi Magpie, and Hua Xiangrong to bring them over.
but--
Although Su Niang and the others moved to Yangwu County, Cai still did not go back once during this period and always ate and lived with the soldiers of the Jinwu Army.
This is also one of the reasons why the soldiers of the Jinwu Army admire Cai Yan.
Su Niang and the others are also quite sensible and have never taken the initiative to send people to the army to find Cai Lan.
Unexpectedly, Su Niang sent someone here today.
"What's the matter with Su Niang?"
With such questions, Cai still ordered: "Zhang Xian left the list!"
Hearing Cai Jian's order, a young man who grew up in the front line ran out of the line, then stood attentively opposite Cai Jian.
If it were the one who watched the battle under the slope that day, you could recognize at a glance that this young man grew up was the Baijing young man who tied with Wang De that day and later joined the Jinwu Army.
That's right!
He is Zhang Xian and Zhang Zongben!
Anyone who is not familiar with the history of the Song Dynasty may ask, who is Zhang Xian and Zhang Zongben?
He is the general who defeated Cao Cheng, captured Hao Zheng, restored Dengzhou, fought Yingchang, fought Chenzhou, and won the Linying victory. He is the one who relied most heavily on Yue Fei and trusted the most. He followed Yue Fei from the insignificant way and always accompanied Yue Fei. Yue Fei could entrust his family to him. In the end, he suffered a lot in prison and refused to slander Yue Fei's first beloved general who stole Yue Fei's rebellion and accompanied Yue Fei's father and son to death. He is the loyal general who was always loyal to Yue Fei and even portrayed Yue Fei as his son-in-law in the novel - Zhang Xian and Zhang Zongben!
