(Just update the previous chapter.) Halfway through, Chen Ye still canceled his plan to go to the company, mainly because it was already ten o'clock. If he went to the company, it would be eleven o'clock when he returned.
The next day, after returning to the company in the morning and signing the agreement, Chen Ye activated his teleportation ability and returned to Daming again.
"Shop owner, please wait a moment. Wang Banban will come over later to show you the way. I have also notified several generals of the New Army and are waiting for them to come together to discuss."
Sitting next to Chongzhen in a familiar manner, Chen Ye took out his cell phone without politeness and continued to look through the memos he had made recently.
"Suddenly I remembered, did Zheng Zhilong say when his younger brother would arrive?"
"It should be in the next few days. If you take the sea route from Fujian to Tianjin, you have to pass through Denglai. However, the Denglai Navy does not dare to go to sea even if it wants to. It can be reached in five days."
"It's a pity that Tianjin is a bit far away. I'll have to get an airport for you later. Otherwise, with the Ming Dynasty being such a big country, wouldn't I just have to stay in the capital?"
Chen Ye would like to see what the current seagoing ships are like, but unfortunately it is not convenient to ride a motorcycle in Tianjin, and the time to go back and forth is too long.
But it would be different if a plane was brought over in the future. As for the safety of piloting the plane, he was not worried about it at all. Even if the plane crashed, as long as he was there, Chongzhen and he would be unscathed.
"I'm afraid it's still early to fly. I saw in the video that a pilot's training requires his own weight in gold. Plus the price of the plane, I can't afford it now."
"I'm not talking about now, but we do need cars. I have already got twelve trucks for you this time. When the time comes, the new army will also allocate a piece of land to train cars and create car soldiers."
"Okay, now that we have a big truck, it will be much easier to haul goods. When the time comes, the grain supplied to Jinzhou can be hauled directly through the newly built road."
As Chongzhen watched more videos, he became more and more understanding of the use of various tools proposed by Chen Ye.
"Your Majesty, Grand Scholar Sun has arrived."
"Your Majesty, Chen Shangshu has arrived."
"Your Majesty, the general has arrived."
After waiting for a while, all the general soldiers in charge of the Beijing Camp have arrived.
Chen Ye and Chongzhen arrived at the main hall one after another.
"Hail, Your Majesty."
"My dear friends, no courtesy.
Except for Sun Aiqing and Li Aiqing, others probably don’t know the owner yet. Let me introduce it to you.
This shop owner is the provider of equipment for the Ming Dynasty's new army, military camp living facilities, military camp training manuals, and logistical supplies.
You just need to understand that the entire New Army is supported by the shopkeepers, that's all. You should also introduce yourselves to the shopkeepers individually so that they can get to know each other."
Except for Sun Chuanting and Li Ruolian, everyone else looked surprised. They didn't expect that the strangely dressed young man following Chongzhen in front of them could have such great energy.
That was an army of 20,000 people, and all the supplies were supplied by one person. They were thinking before, when did the Ministry of Revenue become so rich, but now they understand it.
Especially when I think about it, many of the strange concepts in the military training manual were created by this shop owner, I become even more curious.
After a round of self-introduction, Chen Ye also figured out who was Chen Xinjia, Huang Degong, Wang Jiayan, and Ma Xianglin.
"Everyone, tomorrow will be the time for the first batch of new troops to enter the camp. Since the camp needs urgent construction, the shop owner has just prepared tents and other materials.
So what I arranged was that on the first day, Li Ruolian led the Jinyi Guards into the camp and was responsible for learning from the supervisors of the Royal Horse Guards, setting up their own tents and barracks, and learning to line up for meals.
Allocate those with strong strength to the living area to learn how to use cooking utensils. In the future, only those who can do this in the army will be well-trained people.
On the second day, Bianjiao led the Yutian Battalion into the camp, and the Yutian Battalion set up camp. The Jinyiwei were responsible for the overall perimeter defense and set up the entire camp's defensive horses.
On the third day, the White Pole Camp enters the camp, and so on until the seventh day, when training officially begins. Do you have any objections?"
"Your Majesty, I have no objections"
"Your Majesty, if the sergeant doesn't know how to use the cooking utensils in the early stage, should the soldiers still use the fire to eat? I read the training manual and it said that the living area is directly connected to the training ground and must be kept absolutely clean. In this case, the fire needs to be set up outside the camp."
Sun Chuanting asked Chongzhen. When the others heard this question, they remembered that they had only paid attention to training before and had not paid attention to the issue of eating.
Or maybe they didn't pay attention. Since ancient times, the elite combat power has not been counted as the fire head. The fire head belongs to the logistics, but according to the training manual, the army has its own cooking.
"Don't worry too much about the first six days of camp. After the camp is officially closed on the seventh day, all meals will be distributed by the cooking team and fire heads to each unit."
"I understand. It's no different for me."
They discussed it carefully again. After all, it was an elite regiment of 20,000 people training together, and none of the people present had ever encountered such a thing.
There were all kinds of new and novel organizations, such as the regiment headquarters and the staff office. Several people were asked to discuss with each other the parts of the training manual that they did not understand.
"Okay, my dear friends, there will be many places where we can communicate in the future. Let's take care of the general camp first.
Chen Aiqing, the new army needs full-time training, and you will definitely not be able to travel back and forth to the military headquarters, so I ask you, do you plan to continue at the military headquarters or lead the troops? I have already sent a message to Li Banghua to return to Beijing, and he should arrive in a few days."
Chen Xinjia, who was discussing, was stunned for a moment when he heard Chongzhen's question, and then started thinking.
"I am a brick of Your Majesty's. I can move it wherever it is needed. I will go wherever you tell me to go."
"Well, let's continue with the full-time military department. By the way, we will lead the engineering construction camp that is about to be established in the Beijing camp. The new army selected by the Beijing camp will be led by Sun Aiqing first. I have been studying the separation of military and political affairs recently. You guys do it well. Those who are here today
, they will be the pillars of Ming Dynasty in the future."
Chongzhen thought about it and made a decision. He was still accustomed to using civilian officials to lead the army. Both Chen Xinjia and Li Banghua were actually from civilian backgrounds.
"I swear allegiance to Your Majesty to the death."
"Well, I believe it. Shopkeeper, do you have anything to add?"
"There's nothing to add. I'll go outside the city to put the supplies away later, and then we can start entering the camp tomorrow."
Chen Ye thought about it, not all of the people present died for Chongzhen and the Ming Dynasty.
"Okay, let's all disperse."
After everyone dispersed, Chen Ye took out the drone and handed it to Chongzhen.
"Here you go, this thing is not cheap to use with a miniature independent signal station. It costs more than 20,000 yuan per unit."
"Don't worry, owner, I have already studied how to use it myself, and it will definitely be as safe as yours."
What Chongzhen said is that Chen Ye believes that people who play with their tablets every day can clearly see whether the battery level is there. In addition, DJI has an automatic return function if it loses control.
"Today I will bother the shopkeeper in the outer city first. I will wait for the new army to start training before going outside the city."
After Chongzhen raised the drone, he did not look in the direction of Andingmen, but instead looked in the direction of the outer city.
"Lao Zhu, given the relationship between you and me, are you still saying this?
Speaking of which, I haven't fully seen the outer city. I ate at a shop outside the city gate last time, and I don't know what the difference is between the outer city and the inner city."
"When I was still a prince, I once traveled to the outer city. Compared to the inner city, it was a completely different world."
Chongzhen's drone flew over the palace, and after crossing the inner city wall, the outer city came into view. Chongzhen also slowly introduced the difference between the inner and outer city.
The three city gates that run through half of Beijing are Zhengyang Gate, Chongwen Gate and Xuanwu Gate.
To the north from these three gates is the inner city, and to the south is the outer city. Therefore, the outer city of the capital does not actually wrap around the inner city. Of course, it was originally designed to be wrapped, but later it was not wrapped for various reasons.
The inner city was built by Emperor Chengzu who moved the capital to Beijing. At that time, the south was still under the jurisdiction of the emperor. There was no threat from the slaves and Mongols in the north, so the inner city was built slowly, but the roads were straight and the houses were splendid.
The outer city at the southern end of the inner city was built during the Jiajing Emperor period.
At that time, Jiajing was overwhelmed by the Tatar cavalry that constantly crossed the Great Wall and invaded southward, and had trouble sleeping and eating. Finally, it was decided to build another city wall outside the capital to make it a buffer zone to block the attack of powerful enemies. This was the original intention of building the city.
It is not difficult to imagine how hastily and hastily things were carried out.
In fact, only the southern end of the outer city wall was completed and then stopped, and the entire layout was not carefully planned from the beginning.
As a result, the sloping streets, shabby and low-rise simple bungalows, and dirty and chaotic markets have become the long-lasting landscape of this area.
Following Chongzhen's explanation, Chen Ye also had an intuitive impression of the outer city. Compared with the inner city, it was indeed a slum-like existence.
Gradually, Chen Ye lost interest. Although the outer city was large, there were too many bungalows and thatched houses, and the roads were winding and not interesting.
"Epidemic prevention should start from the outer city. The sanitary conditions in the outer city are too poor. The people who picked up the weeds and butterflies came here from Damingfu. I guess it will be better after a while when the weather is hot, but the outbreak will happen at the end of the year.
"
"I also know that when the two famous doctors arrive, I will instruct the Taiyuan Hospital to cooperate and start preventing the plague with them. However, I have to ask the shop owner to prepare the corresponding materials. Daming really has no relevant experience."
According to historical data, Chongzhen was also very afraid of the plague and summoned famous doctors in history just for this purpose.
"Epidemic prevention materials are easy to handle. Anyway, there will be overcapacity in future generations. By the way, we can still sell medicines."
"Selling medicine?"
Chongzhen clicked on the drone's automatic return function and looked at Chen Ye with a strange look on his face.
"Yes, many medicines in later generations have miraculous effects and are cheap in the Ming Dynasty, especially anti-inflammatory medicines. European dogs have their brains broken out, and anti-inflammatory medicines are more needed. At first, they sold me one for one tael of gold, but now I have to
Earn it back, well, I have to remember it."
Chen Ye took out his cell phone, opened the memo and wrote it down. Chongzhen on the side stared at Chen Ye with a smile.
"Shopkeeper, what I like most is your persistence in making money and your sincerity to me. If it were someone else with the skills of a shopkeeper, I might not have a very good friend."
"Lao Zhu, don't look at me like that!"
Chen Ye raised his head and was struck by Chongzhen's eyes, which gave him goosebumps.
