Chapter 397 Feng Hou is not my intention

The neat army keeps advancing.

It was found that there was a long list of carriages behind the army.

Innumerable Tatar heads, innumerable blades, spears, swords, halberds, innumerable tattered armors and tattered Tatar flags are piled up on these carriages.

These are naturally captured!

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

"Daming and mighty!"

Seeing these heads and captures, the cheers of the people are even greater warm.

As the army marched all the way, Lu Li, wearing the armor of a great Han general and riding a war horse, walked at the forefront of the army formation, behind which was a high-flying flag of the sun and the moon.

A moment later, Lu Li came to the gatehouse of the imperial city and threw the Tatar Khan rags in his hands heavily under the gatehouse.

After turning over and dismounting, Lu Li gave a military salute to Emperor Jiajing, "My minister, Uncle Yunjian Lu Li, was ordered to go on an expedition. At the foot of Datong City, he defeated 100,000 Tatar thieves in the first battle and annihilated eight enemies. 10,000, slay the Tartar Khan. Today, Return to the dynasty, and offer captives in front of the Que. Great Ming and mighty! Long live my emperor!"

"Great Ming and mighty! Long live my emperor!"

"Daming mighty! Long live my emperor!"

"Daming mighty! Long live my emperor!"

After Lu Li finished speaking, the soldiers behind him shouted in unison. The majestic cry was like a tsunami and a landslide.

The shouts of the sergeants also led the onlookers in the city to shout together.

"Da Ming is mighty! Long live my emperor!" The mighty sonic heaven shaking, earth shattering, and the sound of Nine Heavens.

At this moment, the Jiajing Emperor, who was standing at the head of the city, suddenly became hot with his cold heart that he had cultivated immortal cultivator to be "too ruthless".

Such a mighty army and so many cheers made Jiajing feel like a "strong master wins over his ancestors".

I have such a heroic general under my command, even if it is compared with Emperor Hong Martial Sovereign and Emperor Yongle, is it not bad?

Next, Emperor Jiajing took everyone to the Supreme Temple to offer incense, and displayed the Tatar Khan's head captured by Lu Li and the head of the Tatar Khan that he had finally found out as military exploits in the Supreme Temple.

Lu Li also received a new award.

Follow Huating Marquis, conferred Hussar generals, gave Yanjing mansion, Qilin uniforms, and military armor and ritual staff.

"It's not my intention to seal the marquis, I hope the world is at peace!"

Lu Li didn't feel much about this Huating Marquis, but the Hussar General made Lu Li a little happy.

The Hussar General is a title given to every dynasty after the Han Dynasty. It's just... Speaking of General Hussars, people's first impression is Huo Qubing.

Lu Li is still very happy to be able to get a more general title like Huo Qubing.

Obtained the Hussar General, which is still Level 4 away from the "Great General" of this story mission, namely General Zhu Guo, General Zuo Zhu Guo, General Right Zhu Guo, and the final "Up Column" Great General".

The Great General of Shangzhu Kingdom is the same as "Great Marshal of Soldiers and Horses in the World".

After receiving the title of Huating Hou and Hussar General, Lu Li's official position was also upgraded. commander.

This time, the shocking victory has also enriched the Ming treasury a lot.

The countless swords, spears, armour, luggage, hundreds of thousands of horses, and hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep captured by Lu Li are a huge fortune.

In addition to choosing 15,000 war horses for himself and transferring his infantry to cavalry, Lu Li did not take any other seized materials and turned them over to the state treasury.

As a result, the Imperial court was very satisfied with Lu Li.

However...Satisfaction is satisfied, but there is no discussion about it.

The ancient dynasty's defense against generals really went deep into the bones.

Lu Li is so good at fighting, yet he has made such an appalling record. Once Lu Li raises an army to rebel, who in the world can control it?

So...the 15,000 soldiers brought out by Lu Li were actually detained by the Imperial Court in the name of strengthening the central strength, and 10,000 people stayed in the capital and joined the Shenji Camp.

This way, Lu Li...it doesn't matter at all!

Since there is no intention to rebel, it is also necessary to strengthen the military strength of the northern part of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just...you should be able to support these ten thousand soldiers, right?

I really can't afford it!

After Zhang Juzheng took over the job, after learning about the equipment, rations and provisions of Lu Li's soldiers, his face turned pale and his forehead was sweating.

One year of summer, autumn and winter, three sets of military uniforms. Pay three taels of silver every month, and eat meat every day. Military training is carried out every day, and the consumption of ammunition is also a huge sum of money.

And... these guns, artillery and other equipment, and even ammunition, the Daming Ministry of Industry has not been able to imitate them.

Zhang Juzheng calculated that it would cost almost one million silver tael every year to support this army.

Millions of silver tael, Imperial Court is not out of it. The problem is... the treatment you have given to these ten thousand people is so high that there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Beijing camp!

Although it's not good for the soldiers in Beijing to fight, but they won't fall behind when they ask for money.

This is not easy!

Zhang Juzheng's face darkened when he thought of the 300,000 soldiers in the Beijing camp, all of whom needed this treatment.

whoever hung the bell on the tiger's neck must untie it!

Zhang Juzheng hurriedly found Lu Li, who had just moved into Huating Hou Mansion, and asked Lu Li for a plan.

“For the army to maintain a strong battle strength, strict training is essential. The training consumption must not be deducted.”

“In addition, to let the soldiers fight to the death, You have to make sure that they are warmly dressed, well fed, and have money to take, otherwise... who will give you a fight to the death? The money for logistical support is also indispensable."

"As for those equipment , ammunition, and even logistical supplies, I can provide them, even at the cost price, which can save you some money."

Faced with Zhang Juzheng's difficulties, Lu Li can only provide these supports. Wouldn't I be responsible for the provision of these soldiers?

"You're right."

Zhang Juzheng sighed, "The problem is, there are still 300,000 horses in the Beijing camp! Seeing that the treatment of the black clothed army is so high, they If they are given the same treatment, the national treasury will not be able to bear it!"

"It's very simple, abolish the Beijing battalion, downsize the personnel, and select and train 50,000 new troops. With this force in hand , is it better than the 300,000 Beijing battalion that costs more money and cannot fight?"

The idea that Lu Li came up with is naturally a fundamental solution to the problem.

It's just...this will inevitably touch the interests of countless Beijing generals and nobles who are sitting on empty pay.

"This...easier said than done!"

Zhang Juzheng's face is full of helplessness, if he dares to abolish the Beijing camp, believing or not those honorable and military generals can give you A mutiny?

When the time comes If things can't be done, they have to use their own heads to quell the anger of the Jingying soldiers.

"Isn't there a 10,000 black clothed army?"

Lu Li sneered, "All the 100,000 Tartar cavalry were defeated in the First World War, and a black clothed army is in charge, who is it? If you dare to make trouble, just suppress it directly!"

"This..."

Zhang Juzheng looked helpless. Suppression with a black clothed army is certainly no problem. The battle strength of just over 100,000 Tatar cavalry was enough to suppress any dissatisfaction.

The problem is...there are too many people offended, so it's not easy to get along in the future!

"I don't have enough prestige to do this kind of thing. Marquis Huating, with your power of defeating 100,000 Tatar cavalry in the first battle, to preside over the reform of the Beijing camp is the most suitable."

Zhang Juzheng was going to fool Lu Li into doing this thankless task.

"hehe!"

Lu Li glanced at Zhang Juzheng and sneered, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the Marquis is still waiting to go back to Songjiang Mansion for Chinese New Year! After this battle, The northern Tatars don't dare to take pirates, and there are still a lot of Japanese pirates in the south waiting for me to clean up, so I don't have time to take care of your crap."

Zhang Juzheng sighed long and did not answer.

"After this battle, the Tatars have lost their strength, and within a short period of time, it is impossible for them to have the strength and courage to attack the Ming Dynasty. In the next few years, or even more than ten years, there will not be any major wars in the north. ."

Lu Li laughed towards Zhang Juzheng, "Since there is a buffer for this period of time, let's take it slow, spend a few more years, and slowly rectify the Beijing camp."

"That's the only way!"

Zhang Juzheng reluctantly looked at the head and got up to leave.

Lu Li looked at the silhouette of Zhang Juzheng's departure and smiled and looked at the head.

Jingying was the fastest and most rotten army among all Ming armies.

You must know that even when the Ming Dynasty fell, the Jingying nominally had hundreds of thousands of troops.

However... Daming's Jingying can't beat the Tartars, the Jurchens, or the Chuangjun, they can't beat none of them!

The nominally hundreds of thousands of Beijing camps have consumed countless silver in the Ming treasury, but they can't do anything.

The guards can't fight anymore, at least they will still farm! What can Jingying do? Quan Te has become a street scoundrel and is very good at bullying the people!

On the second day, Lu Li suddenly received a document from the Ministry of War. The 10,000 black clothed army who stayed in Beijing was still under the command of the Songjiang General Army and was seconded to the capital.

Grass!

I should say, do you deserve to be civil servants? Any trick can be played.

In this way, equivalent to Lu Li, he provided money, food, and troops to support an army of tens of thousands of people stationed in the capital.

The other troops in the Beijing camp had no opinion on the treatment of the black clothed army, and the Imperial court didn't need to spend a buck or two to get a ten thousand invincible army for nothing.

What a surprise! What a pit!

Although Lu Li was cursing, he didn't care too much.

Lao Tzu is going to be the Great General of the Pillar Kingdom. Since he is the Great Marshal, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are all Lao Tzu's soldiers.

Let's do this for now, take it slow later.

Afterwards, Lu Li made a request to the Jiajing Emperor for his orders, preparing to lead his army back to his hometown.

The Jiajing Emperor did not ignore Lu Li this time, and summoned Lu Li to the palace, received him personally and encouraged him, and gave him a few palace maids and all kinds of messy property to let Lu Li return to the palace. Township.

At this time, when returning from Yanjing to Songjiang Prefecture, Lu Li did not skate or take a boat.

After getting 15,000 war horses, only 5,000 soldiers were left, one person and three horses, all the way back to Songjiang Mansion.

These 5,000 soldiers were all Jinshan guards with the longest training time under Lu Li, and they all received riding training.

Although the number of horses in Lu Family Village is not enough, the soldiers can only say that they have ridden horses a few times, and they are not cavalry at all.

Now there are 15,000 warhorses, just in time for training in riding along the way.

With one person and three horses, the marching speed is very fast.

A little over half a month later, Lu Li returned to Songjiang Prefecture with 5,000 troops and 15,000 horses.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, all the yamen have been on holiday, and Lu Li did not go to take over as the governor of Nanzhili, and spent a year at home directly.

Lu Li was named Marquis of Huating in the First World War shocking the world. After returning home, various officials and local officials, eunuchs and gentry came to visit in an endless stream.

It's been a busy, bustling and busy year.

After the Lantern Festival, Lu Li was free to do serious business.

First of all, the soldiers from the two guards, Baoshanwei and Kunshan, stayed in the capital, and Lu Li needed to continue to replenish the soldiers of the two guards.

At the shipyard, in addition to the destroyer being built, Lu Li also arranged a task for Zheng Yuan to prepare a transport ship.

The task of the workshop area is also very heavy. Lu Li plans to build an industrial area near the Jinshan port, fully implement steam power, expand the production scale, and increase the production capacity of various industrial products.

In terms of agricultural production, in addition to the spring ploughing production of the guards in Songjiang Prefecture, Lu Li is also preparing to carry out a comprehensive reform of the guards in the southern Zhili prefectures and implement it in an all-round way according to the model of Jinshanwei.

South Zhili Governor, this official position is already a Grade 1 officer.

Lu Li, the "Commander-in-Chief of the Military Region", has Yingtian House, Yangzhou House, Suzhou House, Songjiang House, Changzhou House, Zhenjiang House, Luzhou House, Phoenix Yang City, Huai'an House, Anqing House, There are fourteen prefectures including Taiping, Chizhou, Ningguo, Huizhou, Xuzhou, Chuzhou, Hezhou and Guangde.

Each state capital has three guards, a total of 42 guards, a total of 210,000 troops.

With 210,000 male soldiers in hand, this is the governor of the oversee a area.

This kind of setting is normal in Daming. For example, the governor of Xuanda, the governor of Liaodong, and the governor of Hu Zongxian who resisted the Japanese, are all "commanders" who hold hundreds of thousands of troops!

It's just...the so-called army of hundreds of thousands, in today's Ming Dynasty, and even the future Ming Dynasty, these frightening army numbers are false, half of the real soldiers, even one third Amazing.

Why? Because I can't afford it!

The treasury is empty, and the Imperial court can't get enough food. Moreover, after layers of deducted food and salaries, allotted to the army, one-tenth of them can even be regarded as honest officials.

However, Lu Li doesn't care about these rations.

The output of the workshop is getting higher and higher, and the high-yield crops sown by the Weisuo can also ensure a bumper harvest. There is no worry about lack of money and food.

However, after taking over the governor of Nanzhili, the 42 guards in 14 prefectures under his command will fully implement the spring ploughing of new crops and complete the reconstruction of guards, which is a huge task.

There is also a huge gap in the dismantling, re-recruitment, and the provision of various military supplies.

The simplest point is that Lu Li doesn't have 210,000 rifles yet!

Of course, the prospect is also very gratifying.

Once Lu Li completed the formation of a new army of 210,000 people, the Ming Dynasty was invincible, and this force was enough to sweep the whole world.

A year, or two years at the most, for this force to take shape.

When the time comes...where the sun and the moon shine, it is the territory of the Great Ming Dynasty!
