"Let me tell you, Anqing is a big place. The city wall is as high as a mountain. There are not only 80,000 but also 100,000 people in the city. If you are not careful, you will step on other people's feet while walking on the street, even on ordinary people's feet.
Fortunately, it would be terrible if I stepped on a woman from a wealthy family. The shoes are all made of Husi. Do you think you can afford to pay for it?"
There was a hissing sound all around, and a group of women in the village's grain drying field gasped for air. The woman from Wu Tat Choi's family stood in the middle. She paused at this point and inadvertently stretched out her feet.
"Girl, are you wearing shoes?"
A sharp-eyed woman spotted the shoes and exclaimed in an exaggerated manner. The other women gathered around and stared at the pair of cloth shoes with envy. They even pushed each other for fear of accidentally stepping on them.
Wu Dacai's hometown is at the junction of Lujiang and Tongcheng, which is a bit far away from the official road. Men went to Lujiang County when they paid for food, but the farthest place for women was Kongcheng Town. Wu Dacai's sister-in-law went there when she was nine years old. Although she has already
After all these years, in the women's social circle in the village, when it comes to knowledge, they still firmly hold the right to speak, but that has stopped today.
As far as the former permanent residents of the village are concerned, almost no one wears shoes. In good years, there are only a few people who occasionally buy shoes. The only person whose family has shoes is Li Ce. Not only does he have shoes, but he also has a house in Lujiang County. Last year
He happened to be in the city when the bandits came. The whole family was taken away by the bandits. The village was also burned and robbed by the bandits because it was not far from the official road. Only a few houses survived. Wu Dacai was so bold that he went to the city.
Here, most people can only hold on to the land. Their economic conditions are getting worse and worse, and they don't even dare to think about wearing shoes.
The woman from the Wu family said nonchalantly, "Hey, they're just Songjiang cloth shoes, and they're not a valuable item. I still have a few pairs under the lilac wood bed at home. I wear them every day and every day."
As she spoke, she raised her feet higher, exposing the socks on the upper part of her feet, which caused another exclamation from the women.
The Wu family woman showed off some things one after another, basically establishing her status as the number one sister in the village's fashion circle.
Just when he was satisfied, the woman from the Song family who had been in love with him pushed through the crowd and squeezed in. She took the hand of the woman from the Wu family and put it to her ear and said, "Sister, please go back and take a look. I can see Wang Shidan leading his family."
My daughter came in and heard from her aunt that she wanted to be the head of your family."
After hearing this, the Wu family woman's face changed slightly, and she said harshly, "You are so shameless."
Immediately, she pushed away the woman in front of her and rushed home. The roads in the village were full of animals. Because she was walking too fast on the road, she accidentally stepped on chicken dung and dog dung. The eager Wu family woman even walked to Songjiang Dun.
I don't even care about cloth shoes.
I hurriedly arrived at the house of Ng Tak Choi's brother, who was staying temporarily. There were a few people leaving in front of the door. I didn't see Wang Shidan, but two other relatives were talking to Ng Tak Choi.
"Da Cai, you must be very concerned about your cousin's joining the army. If he joins the Anqing camp in the future, he will be a member of his family, so we have to take care of each other."
"My cousin is only thirteen. Wait until the commander nods. You don't know. There are many soldiers in our garrison, and the recruiters are other generals, so they may not listen to me."
"You came here with us to make a fortune, didn't you? Everyone in the village knows it. You will soon be a high-ranking official in charge of hundreds of people. It's not all the same in the yamen. Then who of the recruiters won't listen to you? Wait until he is full."
When he is fourteen, he will be sent to Anqing to serve as a soldier and receive pay. According to his niece-in-law, it is only three or four taels a month. How can you find so much money in the fields..." The Wu family woman was not interested in listening.
, without saying hello to the elder, he went straight into the main room. There was a hen tied up in the corner, vegetables and fruits next to it, and a pair of straw sandals on the vegetables. I don’t know who sent them. I didn’t see them on either side.
Damn it, the woman angrily turned into the room on the right.
As soon as she pushed the door open and walked in, a black shadow swooped under her feet. The Wu family woman knew the mouse without looking, so it flew up and kicked it. With a scream, the mouse was kicked away and hit the corner.
The woman didn't look at him and sat on the bed.
The room was pitch dark, the reed mat on the bed was full of holes, and the toilet next to the bed was constantly emitting an unpleasant smell. Mosquitoes buzzed around from time to time. The Wu family woman gasped angrily, not even reaching for the mosquito bites.
Go fight.
After a while, I heard Wu Tac Choi and his brother saying goodbye to the man, and then Wu Tac Choi's footsteps came all the way. As soon as he entered the house, he closed the door behind his back, pointed at the woman and cursed in a low voice, "Who the hell let you
They go around talking nonsense about how they can serve as soldiers. Three groups of relatives come to borrow money. There are two families who want to be soldiers, and another family who wants to be soldiers and needs to borrow money. The recruitment of soldiers is in charge of the Chinese army.
Who will take care of the food when it comes to Anqing? How much money does our family have?
What are you doing?"
The woman jumped up and started to fight Wu Tat Choi, "You have so much money that you can even afford a concubine. Don't think I don't know. That Wang Shidan has five daughters and the remaining two are unmarried. Do you want to do this for you?"
Concubine."
Wu DaCai was caught off guard and was beaten back again and again. He was grabbed several times before he waved his hand and opened it, "How about taking a concubine? We always have two concubines in our second division. If you beat me again, I will divorce you!"
"Don't show me this."
The woman got angry as she spoke, and kept grabbing Wu Dacai's arm, "You want shame, so you asked me to buy five or six taels of silver for the woman named Zhou. You said there was silver in Beixia Pass. Where is the money?"
Considering that his sister-in-law might be eavesdropping outside, neither of them dared to speak loudly. Wu Tachai cursed in a low voice, "It was obviously well hidden in the river. Who knew it was stolen by that goddamned person? If you want to blame, blame that person."
Go thieves!"
The woman waved her hand and punched twice, but Wu Tachai blocked both of them, making her hair disheveled. However, she ignored it and cursed, "Who doesn't know that there are many people killed in Beixia Pass, waiting to pick up items? Do you think
You can hide it in the river. Those people in Beixiaguan have rummaged in the river so many times, and the stones have been turned over on the bank. There is still something you can hide. Do you have any idea? You still hide it in the river, in the river.
Even if there is a flood, it will be washed away.”
"How did I know those people dug things so cleanly? Besides, there is no big river outside our house, so we have never seen a flood."
"You dare to say you haven't seen it."
The woman scolded and came up to fight again, "You pay me six taels of silver. I'm not even willing to make a new cotton-padded jacket for the New Year. I just said that I would save the money to buy a house in the city wall. Last month, I received the silver reward for killing enemies in Jiangnan.
Just seeing it is enough. I had to give a gift to Mr. Hou a few days ago. I spent eleven taels on this one. I gave another six taels to the woman named Zhou. I gave another two taels to your parents and one tael to your brother when I came back.
Two, twenty taels are gone, just divorce me."
The woman suddenly squatted on the ground and started crying.
Wu Dacai stood for a moment in embarrassment, then straightened his clothes and said angrily, "I didn't agree to Wang Shidan, and it's not this year to take a concubine. We from Zongyangmen in the prosperous Tang Dynasty can't afford it, so we'll buy Jixian."
What's wrong with the door?"
The woman just cried on the ground. Wu Tat Choi stretched out his leg and kicked him and cursed, "Cry your ass, it's just a few taels of silver. I will be promoted to a higher position by Pang Daren. It will be four or five taels a month. If there are any more blind thieves."
Come here, kill the thief and reward him with a reward."
The woman looked up at him and said, "Whether you can be promoted or not, I haven't seen it for two or three months."
Wu Dacai said with confidence, "With the new establishment issued this month, Pang Pang people will be promoted to generals. I heard that Wang Zenglu is going to serve in the Chinese Army. I have such great achievements as the Tiger Bridge. It goes without saying that I will be a hundred generals.
You can still be the deputy general manager, and the five taels of silver are considered to be less."
..."According to the approval of the great people, our garrison camp is organized as follows. The minimum establishment in the camp is a corps, including a corps leader, a total of five people, two corps is a team, and a total of 11 people including the captain; three teams are a team.
There are a total of thirty-four people in the banner, including the banner; the three banners are a bureau, each bureau directly manages eleven infantry soldiers and eleven baggage fire soldiers. Each bureau has a hundred officers, a town governor, a clerk, and a deputy hundred general.
One person, one hundred commander and flag bearer, two town governors and military policemen, one clerk and clerk, and a total of 131 infantrymen per bureau; four bureaus are divided into one division, and each division has a commander, a town governor, and clerks.
, each has one deputy general and three comrades, the headquarters directly oversees the infantry and ranger flag corps, the ranger flag corps, the artillery flag corps, and the baggage flag corps, the general directly leads the flag and five personal soldiers, and the town governor leads the town.
In the squadron, there are two deputy generals and flag guards, three clerks and clerks, three blacksmiths, three carpenters, three tailors, two veterinarians, two military doctors, and a total of seven hundred and one people in each division of infantry.
After the recruitment of new troops this month, the first division currently has 594 troops, the second division has 523 troops, and the third division has 551 troops.
There are actually three hundred and three people in the personal army."
In the second hall of the Anqing garrison, Pang Yu sat at the head of the table, with officers in red uniforms sitting below. Although some officers were brought to the court to surrender after the Jiangnan War, military regulations in the garrison required that they wear military uniforms instead of official uniforms.
It was very different from the usual gathering of Ming army generals.
Mr. Hou, who was reciting the battalion, paused at this point. The Guards Division performed poorly in Jiangnan this time, especially when Cao Cao's cavalry suddenly collapsed during a surprise attack. Pang Yu was extremely dissatisfied with this, and decided to adapt it this time.
Heavy infantry has the highest physical requirements for replenishing soldiers, so the replenishment speed is the slowest, and the commander is not determined.
So Mr. Hou thought that Pang Yu wanted to say a few words about the repair situation, but seeing that Pang Yu had no intention of doing so, he continued to read.
"The cavalry standard corps has the same organization as the infantry. Two veterinarians are added to each bureau, for a total of 133 people. The cavalry division has a total establishment of 700 and 9 people. Currently, there are 271 people and 650 horses.
, two hundred and ten pack horses, and seventy-three carriages.”
There was a slight murmuring in the hall that had been quiet just now. The soldiers on duty nearby glanced at Pang Yu. The discipline of the garrison camp was becoming more and more strict. Any noise would be punished. Many soldiers even had to hold back from sneezing, but
Today's meeting hall is full of officers, and discipline cannot be enforced like soldiers. As long as the big man is not angry, some minor flaws can be ignored.
Pang Yu picked up the tea and took a sip himself. The cavalry now had more horses than people. The previous cavalry suffered heavy losses in the Jiangnan battle. There were quite a few captured thieves and cavalry, but few of them were usable. Most of these people were captured alone.
, without family members or assets to restrict them, if they were allowed to serve as cavalry again, regardless of their combat power, they would probably run away with both men and horses.
Therefore, garrison battalions are currently recruiting in various prefectures in Anqing, Chizhou, and Luzhou, mainly post soldiers, delivery men and other experienced people. However, to really reach the state of cavalry combat, one year may not be enough.
The next number of marines was 425. The marines were similar to the cavalry. The previous base was very small. However, this time they performed well in Jiangnan and were expanded into a division. They were still positioned as light infantry by boat.
It is much easier to recruit marines on the riverside. There are many trackers, porters, and boatmen on both sides of the nearby river, and they all know the nature of water. Pang Yu has ample room for selection, and the expansion speed is also the fastest.
"The Central Garrison Army has directly under its jurisdiction the Guards Department, the Cavalry Department, the Artillery Department, the Transport and Transport Department, the Zhenfu Team, and the government offices are equipped with barracks, painting rooms, household rooms, execution rooms, workshops, distribution rooms, cabinet warehouses, and barracks.
It consists of the cavalry room, the artillery room, the infantry room, the navy room, and the reserve room. There is a temporary vacancy of the secretary. Before the secretary takes office, the chief of the Chengfa room will temporarily take charge of the barracks. The Zanhua room has a war room and a remote outpost room.
, Surveying and Mapping Office, all military training, deployment, and combat military orders are not sent to the approval room, but only to the approval room. The military order document number, seal, pictorial and text code, and cipher text rules are issued separately to the department documents and approval room.
Yang Xuesi, the official of the department, Guo Fengyou, the official of the training room, the official of the distant sentry room is temporarily absent, and Xie Zhaofa, the official of the surveying and mapping room; there are Dingkou room, accounting room, and entrance and exit room under the household house. All soldiers' pay is directly distributed to the generals from the household room.
No officer is allowed to handle the bank account, and there is a temporary vacancy of clerks..." A large number of vacancies in various offices of the government office caused a commotion in the hall. The previous establishment was circulated in the army, and everyone knew that the most important one was the Zanhua Office.
, the barracks and the household room. It was rumored that Yao Dongshan and Wang Zenglu were going to the Zan Painting Room and the Barracks. Now it is obviously untrue. Instead, Yang Xueshi went to the most important Zan Painting Room. The officers in the field turned around to see Chen Rulie. Obviously
He will become the commander-in-chief of the cavalry.
Mr. Hou heard that the sound was a bit loud. Seeing that Pang Yu and Jiang Guoyong didn't care, he could only cough and said, "The following are the appointments of generals above the hundred generals of each department..."
