Whether it can continue is no longer in the control of the boat!

thank you all!
Small boat group number, 200695638, you are welcome to join!

As the saying goes, 'If you ask for a high price, you will pay back the money!'
Although Liu Ruyi opened his mouth and offered the price of 'King Qi', Liu Ruyi knew that according to Emperor Chongzhen's character, this was absolutely impossible to achieve!
During the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, who were the pillars of the country, were only named Dukes in the end. It was not until their deaths that Zhu Yuanzhang reluctantly buried them with royal titles!
The stinginess of the Zhu family is far beyond the generosity of the Manchus!
But at this moment, for Liu Ruyi, he has made enough achievements. If he wants to continue to move forward, he must obtain a greater and higher political status!
The court is not sincere, so Liu Ruyi can only fight for it on his own!
After all, the sons of the Caishi Army also need sufficient political status, and they also need to see the dawn of a bright future in Liu Ruyi!
"Ruyi, this, this, is this, is it..." Yan Jizu couldn't believe his eyes, he was trembling and couldn't say a complete sentence!
If he reported Liu Ruyi's request, Emperor Chongzhen might personally skin him!
Liu Ruyi smiled slightly and said, "Master Governor, you don't have to worry too much! Ruyi just wants to find a way out for the sons of Caishi Army! Just report this matter to the court, haha, as long as you, Master Governor, are still with me
On the borders of Shandong, I, Liu Ruyi, will ensure the safety of the governor!"
Yan Jizu was sweating like rain. He finally understood that Liu Ruyi was definitely not aimless. He was probably planning for a long time!
"Ruyi, can we discuss this matter again? It is absolutely impossible for the court to accept your request like this?" Yan Jizu still didn't want to give up and wanted to persuade Liu Ruyi to change his mind!
Liu Ruyi shook her head resolutely, "Sir Governor, the road is made by people! But as a human being, you must remember, who~~~ are your real parents for food and clothing!"
"This, this..." Yan Jizu's face turned red and white, and he really didn't know how to answer Liu Ruyi's words!
It’s true that he was the governor of Shandong in the Ming Dynasty, but all the food, food and drinks were provided by Liu Ruyi!
At this point, it was no longer possible for him to hold the post of a bachelor and take advantage of Liu Ruyi!
He must make a choice here!
Liu Ruyi knew what Yan Jizu was thinking. Although these scholars had read the books of saints and sages, at the bottom of their minds, who was not just for their own one-third of an acre of land?
"Haha! Governor, if you wish, there is no need to rush into this matter! You can go back and think about it carefully! Haha! When you have figured it out and the court's decree comes down, then Ruyi will send troops to the Central Plains!"
Yan Jizu left, but Liu Ruyi slowly fell into deep thought.
As for Liu Ruyi, as for Yan Jizu, Liu Ruyi doesn't want to push him too hard!
At this time, although the strength of the Caishi Army is only over 10,000, after years of accumulation and hard fighting, as long as Liu Ruyi is given a little time, these soldiers will quickly transform into qualified grassroots officers!
In this expansion of the army, Liu Ruyi initially recruited 50,000 new troops, but this does not rule out the possibility of unexpected situations!
According to Shandong's population and Liu Ruyi's energy at this time, it would not be difficult to quickly raise 100,000 or even 150,000 new troops!
In addition, there are vassals such as Wang Pu, He Renlong, Ma Ke, Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen, Huguang Luo Anbang, etc., and it is easy to capture 200,000 or even 300,000 troops!
The combat power of the Colored Stone Army is already strong enough!
In just three months, even if he fought a decisive battle with the Manchus, Liu Ruyi would still be worthy!
With the opening of overseas trade and the development of the Great China Development Bank, Liu Ruyi's financial resources have gradually moved to the forefront of the times!
But at this time, Liu Ruyi still lacked the most critical point, which was the support of the scholar class!
Soldiers can conquer the world and conquer cities, but they cannot rule a country with soldiers!
Although the power of the Ming literati group has been suppressed a lot by various wars, they are a huge torrent that no one can ignore!
If you kill people with a pen, there will be no blood!
As powerful as the First Emperor, although he "burned books and harassed Confucians", history has proved that for these people, they can only win over and divide them, and tough measures will only be counterproductive!
As for Yan Jizu, although he has no great talents, he has held a high position for many years and can be regarded as the leader of Shandong Shilin. As long as he is willing to work for Liu Ruyi, then~~ the next thing will be much easier!
'Learn literature and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family!'
Liu Ruyi has enough patience, abundant financial resources and strong strength to wait for these 'busters' to come!
~~~~~
My thoughts were quickly diluted by the busy military affairs!
The pace of the great era is getting tighter and tighter, and Liu Ruyi doesn’t have much time anymore!
According to discussions between Huolang, Chunwa and other senior generals and Liu Ruyi, the Caishi Army set a minimum recruitment limit of 50,000!
Among them, Caishi Town will recruit 20,000 new troops, Linqing City and its affiliates will recruit 10,000, Jinan City and its affiliates will recruit 10,000, Jining City and its affiliates will recruit 10,000!
Caishi Town is where Liu Ruyi’s foundation is, so naturally there should be exceptional treatment!
As for the area around Jinan City, Linqing City, and Jining City, there are probably close to 70,000 to 80,000 military households. It would be easy and enjoyable to gather 30,000 people!
However, in order to give more people in Shandong hope, Liu Ruyi specially opened up another 5,000 places to enrich the naval and artillery schools in Antonwei!
The selection of these five thousand people does not distinguish between military households and civilian households. As long as they can pass the school's admissions examination, they can become students of the school!
During these years in Shandong, Liu Ruyi's reputation has already spread all over the world. Many poor households in Shandong are also eager to use their own strength to join the Colored Stone Army, gain military exploits, and win wealth!
In the past, Liu Ruyi could not accept these households in order to maintain anonymity, but now, everything is different!
As for Anweidong Academy, Liu Ruyi also invested a lot of money. All poor children with excellent grades will be exempted from tuition fees, will receive food and accommodation, and will also receive two taels of silver per month!
This kind of treatment was like "thunder erupting from the ground." In just three days, 50,000 to 60,000 people signed up to participate in the recruitment of Anton Wei School. The old man in charge of the examination was so busy that he couldn't even touch the ground!
However, at this time, Liu Ruyi did not interfere in school affairs, but came to the main campus of Caishi Army!
~~~~~
It has now entered the end of November in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, and the weather is very cold!
Last night, there was another light snowfall. It was windy and cold all night, and a thick layer of ice formed on the turf of the Caishi Army's campus!
The campus is flat, with no buildings to cover it. A cold wind passed by, and the chill penetrated the bones!
But at this time, there were 20,000 soldiers gathered in the main campus. The heads were so densely packed that one could not see the edge at a glance!
Caishi Town is Liu Ruyi's foundation. There is no doubt about the source, quality and loyalty of the soldiers here. They are born for war. They just want to follow Liu Ruyi and use the steel knives in their hands to exchange for their glory.
Wealth!
The wind was biting, but the eyes of everyone in the venue were focused on the bright silver figure on the high martial arts stage!
He is the soul of Caishijun!
"The general is mighty!"
"The general is mighty! The general is mighty!"
Among the crowd, I don’t know who stood up first, and then the sound erupted like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. More than 20,000 soldiers shouted loudly at the same time without thinking, and the sound resounded through the sky!
On the high platform, Liu Ruyi's eyes swept over the areas under his feet, full of ardent admiration, and his chest was also filled with ups and downs!
Five years!
It’s been five years!
In the past five years, there have been crises, tears, emotions, blood, and pain, but ~~, after countless hardships, I have finally taken root in this land.
Take root!
But in front of me, these good men have become the cornerstone of their careers!
Liu Ruyi waved her hand high, and the voices of the soldiers disappeared instantly, leaving only the shrill north wind howling by!
"Brothers, I am very happy to see you here! Because you have overcome all difficulties and obstacles and finally become a member of my Colored Stone Army! Today will definitely be a day worth celebrating for you throughout your life!" Liu Ruyi
He shouted at the top of his lungs!
"General! General!"
"I am willing to die for the general! I am willing to die for the general!"
The crowd roared and fell to their knees. Although it was not neat, it was overwhelming!
The soldiers of the Colored Stone Army, even those who have not become soldiers, are training hard every day, just looking forward to opportunities like today!
Train hard, join the army, make meritorious deeds, and establish a career! This has become the ultimate goal of every young soldier in Caishi Town!
This is just like the young people of later generations worshiping Japanese and Korean idols, and high school seniors working hard to get into college has become an indelible instinct in their lives!
Liu Ruyi nodded with satisfaction.
If you pay, you will gain!
Five years of hard work and the blood of countless soldiers will be rewarded with today’s moment of accumulation!
Even if the quality of each of these soldiers is not as good as Wu Sangui's elite servants, they are definitely not far behind!
The most important thing is that their hearts are full of faith and goals. They know what they want! They know what they should do to achieve the goals they want!
They will be a group of real war machines!
"Brothers, you are all good men! You are my brothers, Liu Ruyi! You are the hope of my Colored Stone Army! But at this time, you have just stepped across the threshold! Ahead, there are countless difficulties and obstacles, and there are countless evil spirits.
Enemies, there are countless moments when they lose their lives, are you afraid?" Liu Ruyi continued to shout loudly.
"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!"
"Follow the general and kill the enemy! Die without regrets!"
"Death without regrets!"
The soldiers in the audience were like a ignited red tide, venting their emotions loudly and loudly with all their strength!
Death? So what?
As long as they die on the battlefield, the general will personally support their families! Their parents will receive careful care, and their children will receive the best education in Caishi Town!
And~~~, once those who have achieved military exploits will create a golden avenue for their children and grandchildren, they will enjoy the priority to join the Colored Stone Army. They will be born to become the general's confidants, and their
The future is simply limitless!
Working hard to gain the blessings of their children and grandchildren, what else are soldiers dissatisfied with?
Looking at the passionate crowd, Liu Ruyi's eyes became slightly moist!
With the help of these good men, why worry about success?
How could Huang Taiji, Dorgon, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Wu Sangui and others stop these good men?
'A general dies in a hundred battles, a strong man returns in ten years!'
Men, only with iron and blood can they truly prove their glory!
"Brothers, have you seen that high mountain over there?" Liu Ruyi pointed her finger at the top of the west mountain of Caishi Town, and all the soldiers' eyes were attracted to it at the same time!
Liu Ruyi said loudly: "That's where Zhao Sanhu and Zhao Canghai are buried. It's the burial place for all the brothers who sacrificed their lives for the Caishi Army! From today on, I, Liu Ruyi, will spend five hundred thousand taels of silver to build a new one."
A huge cemetery comparable to the imperial mausoleum! Only the bravest warriors of our Colored Stone Army can be buried there! This will be the highest honor for our brothers in the Colored Stone Army!!!"
"The general is victorious!"
"The general is victorious!"
The soldiers became even more excited and shouted hysterically!
The most important thing for Chinese people is to rest in peace!
At this time, the general had even thought of these details for them. What else could they be worried about?
