Chapter 110 Education

Before Zhu Hongsan returned home, he went to the military camp and looked at the refugees. It was very good. He told Ma Jingyuan to change some of the replaced old military uniforms to these refugees. Then he told Li Fugui that he would not go to the city these days, as well as to protect Li Fugui.

After finishing, Zhu Hongsan took a look at the military training. Not to mention, it was really good to change into French military uniforms as a whole.

Zhu Hongsan designed three military uniforms, one set of dresses, the outer coat is a dark gray lapel military coat, the top is a red jacket and windbreaker, the pants are gray-white breeches, and the shoes are thick-soled cowhide mid-tube boots. The hat is a dark gray boat-shaped hat. Zhu Hongsan originally wanted to get a high-tube bear-skin hat, but the cost is too high, so there is no way to use this kind of boat-shaped hat.

A combat suit, with a high-necked half-body jacket on the upper body and a bright red upper body. There is no copper hole, only a white cloth buckle, but a row is quite beautiful. The pants are dark blue breeches, the hat is a red high-tube military cap. The shoes are thick-soled cloth shoes, plus high-top leggings. The body is a white armed belt, and each person is equipped with a horizontal knife.

There is also a set of training suits, which are used for daily training. They are mainly used for the Sixth Five Military Uniforms in later generations. The materials of thick linen can have high wear resistance.

However, these are all about design drawings. The reason is very simple, there is no money. Each soldier costs fifty taels of silver under these three sets of clothing, which is equivalent to fifty thousand yuan in the future.

In the end, Zhu Hongsan had no choice but to have expensive dresses without equipment, so he just made a combat suit and training suit. In this way, each soldier also had twenty taels of silver. With the addition of musket equipment, each soldier invested between one hundred taels of silver.

However, Zhu Hongsan also made 200 sets of dresses and changed his guards. The hat was still a high black bear-skin hat. After changing clothes, these guys wore dresses every day in the military camp, which made ordinary soldiers jealous.

Zhu Hongsan had no choice but to guarantee that he would have dresses in the future, but only the most elite bears can be equipped.

This price is already the same as the equipment of a cavalry in the north. However, Zhu Hongsan had no choice. Given the limitations of the times, Zhu Hongsan's smoothbore rifle loading in the front will be the main weapon of the infantry. Given the accuracy, loading speed and loading mode of the smoothbore rifle pit, the battle becomes a turn-based shooting tactic for queuing.

This requires very high psychological quality for soldiers, which means that morale has an outrageous impact on combat.

So the requirements for the soldiers' clothing at this time were not hidden, but gorgeous. Just imagine, when the two armies faced the battlefield, their side was taking uniform steps and divided into multiple square formations to advance. The flags were waving, bright and dazzling, with only the sound of officers' whistles and the neighing of war horses. This was undoubtedly the torrent of steel of that era, and it had already been snatching people before it even entered the range. This was called murderous intent.

Zhu Hongsan saw that his army had initially formed combat effectiveness and the training of new recruits was also very good. In Zhu Hongsan's expectation, a regiment was a basic unit on the battlefield. No matter how large the war was in the future, it would be several or dozens of regiments to cooperate in cooperation. There would be no direct troops at the division level, and there would be heavy artillery regiments besides the guards.

A regiment had 2,500 musketeers lined up in a large array, followed by 500 people and 96 artillery artillery. A regiment's combat formation could cover a radius of one thousand meters. Zhu Hongsan estimated that he could repel the impact of 10,000 infantry head-on, and 5,000 cavalrymen should be about the same.

Zhu Hongsan watched the training for a while and was very happy. He told Qian Yong and Zhao Guodong that the two leaders should not relax and must insist on training.

It was already dark when Zhu Hongsan got home. After dinner, he asked the butler Zhu Fa to find Ma Jiyuan.

After a while, Ma Jiyuan arrived. Zhu Hongsan asked him to sit down. After the servant came up to tea, Ma Jiyuan said, "I wonder what the lord is looking for?"

Zhu Hongsan asked: "Brother, how is the chamber of commerce?"

Ma Jiyuan said: "It's normal. All the money has been in place. Now we'll wait for the lord to choose a good address to start construction. We've found all the staff, and hired a thousand refugees from outside the city, and we can have three meals a day."

Zhu Hongsan nodded and said, "Today, I will ask my elder brother to discuss with you in addition to this issue."

Ma Jiyuan said, "I hope to hear the details."

Zhu Hongsan said: "It's a talent issue. There are too few people we can use at hand now, so I wonder what my brother has to think?"

Ma Jiyuan thought for a while and said, "We can use local scholars. Although Guangdong's literary style is not strong, there are still many scholars. After all, not everyone can pass the exam, and most people stop at the point of childhood."

Ma Jiyuan took a sip of tea and continued, "We can notify all major families so that their families who do not want to pass the exam will come out to help us. We have a good relationship with them now, and each family should be able to agree easily."

Zhu Hongsan nodded and said, "There is another point. I think there are many children in our village. Should we also open a school to teach them to read and recognize words. After all, it is better for our own people than others."

Ma Jiyuan said, "The lord is right. It is the saint's words that have no distinction between teachings and no distinction. But studying is a costly thing. I wonder what to do if the money is done?"

Zhu Hongsan said: "There is not much money. Each person who comes to study offers three meals, one or two, no good food is needed, just eat enough. I see that there are less than five hundred children in the farm, and they can't spend a lot of money."

Zhu Hongsan continued: "Brother, see if we can do this. Let's set up three grades. The lower grades will teach elementary school first, and take the exam two years later. If you have the talent to study, you will be promoted to the middle grade. In the future, you will be qualified to enter the highest grade and you can get a fame in the future. The middle grade can help us do things, but the lower grades have no choice but to enter the factory."

Ma Jiyuan said: "The lord is a good method."

Zhu Hongsan asked: "Is anyone responsible for this matter?"

Ma Jiyuan thought for a while and said, "Mr. Xu Dali is an honest official and knowledgeable person, so he can let him take charge of the general. I will find a few teachers from the county town to help him."

Zhu Hongsan nodded and said, "Okay, I'm going to bother you." After that, Zhu Hongsan brought tea to see you off.

When he saw Ma Ji leaving, Zhu Hongsan thought: "There are still few talents. When will the Qing Dynasty braids be beaten to Jiangnan? In this way, those stinky old nine people can put down their airs and work hard for the young master."

Zhu Hongsan was thinking about Qian Lide and Fatty Qian asking for a meeting, but Zhu Hongsan asked him to come in.

Qian Lide said: "Brother, I just received the news that Li Zicheng from the north has gone east to Tongguan and headed towards Shanxi. It seems that he is going to Datong and Taiyuan attack the capital."

Is it finally coming? Zhu Hongsan thought that he always felt the uncertainty of the times. Can the times change because of his arrival? For example, what should I do if Chongzhen did not die? Last year, I made a mistake in the estimate of Zhang Xianzhong's trip to the south. Originally, Zhu Hongsan remembered that it was Wuchang that was broken in May, but he didn't expect it to be two months ahead of schedule. It should be caused by the butterfly effect.

Zhu Hongsan is now preparing for Chongzhen's death. It can be said that the foundation he built by Chongzhen if he dies will melt like snow under the sun.

In that way, he had no choice but to rebel, but Chongzhen did not die, and he would become the commander of the bare commander as long as he had an edict.

Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan made up his mind to go to Beijing, and Chongzhen would kill him even if he didn't die. Otherwise, he would not have any good results.

Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan asked, "Do you have any detailed works in Beijing?"

Qian Lide said: "We have a shop in Beijing, which was founded by Ma Fu a few years ago. My detailed work also conveys messages through the shop."

Zhu Hongsan nodded and said, "You go down and prepare, we will go to Beijing in a few days."

When Fatty Qian heard this, he was not scared and fell down. He quickly said, "Brother, lord, the bandits are about to fight to Beijing. Let's go to death."

Zhu Hong stood up with his eyes and said, "Why don't you listen to me?"

Qian Lide knew that he might die in the future when he went to Beijing. Now he would die soon if he had objections, so he hurriedly said, "What if he can, I will go wherever my brother goes. It was just a small suggestion just now."

Zhu Hongsan snorted and said, "Just know, go down and prepare, arrange the route and retreat, and find me three days later."

Qian Lide wiped the sweat from his fat head and agreed to prepare.

Zhu Hongsan had no choice. He also knew that Beijing was now a tiger's den, but he was really worried if he didn't go. This was also the only chance to kill Chongzhen. If Chongzhen or the prince went south, he would be in a desperate situation. He would have no chance to do something when he arrived in Nanjing.
