The Prosperous Era of Longwan

When Zhang Hongfu asked which of the "Southern Japanese and Northern Japanese" was more powerful, Wei Guangde was speechless for a moment.

He really hadn't thought about this issue.

In the past, Wei Guangde felt that both the Tatars in the north and the Japanese pirates in the south were quite ferocious. At least at this period, if they did not encounter the real Ming army, they would be invincible.

The so-called real Ming army naturally does not refer to the current guardsmen. They are peasant armies and cannot be considered soldiers at all.

Only the men and horses of the Baihusuo who trained at home can be regarded as the Ming army.

Thinking of this, Wei Guangde smiled and said to Zhang Hongfu: "Actually, the southern Japanese and northern captives are not very good. That is to say, they can still show off their power when encountering those guard soldiers who have not been trained very much. The main reason is that our guard soldiers are not very good. Training, at least for the Japanese pirates, is not impressive to the Mongolian Tatars, and they can’t tell much by relying on those battle reports.”

"What do you mean, if the soldiers below can be sent to Zhejiang and South Zhili to fight against Japanese pirates after half a year of training?"

Zhang Hongfu's eyes were darting around, as if he was thinking about something.

Of course Wei Guangde noticed his change and immediately continued: "Don't you want to lead people to suppress the Japanese? The benefits of this thing are huge, especially at this time, but the risks are also not small.

The year before last, don't just watch the more than 200 people in the Qianhu Station of the Youjun beat away more than 100 Japanese pirates, but there were also times when hundreds of people chased more than 2,000 people. "

"I'm good at horseback riding."

Zhang Hongfu said without thinking.

"Okay, if you want to go there, you have to pass your old man's test."

Wei Guangde didn't want to say anything anymore, that is, Zhang Hongfu probably watched Tang Kekuan win a few battles there and get awards on a whim.

"It would be great if there was a way to win every battle."

Zhang Hongfu sighed and said.

He knew very well that since he was the only child in the family, it was impossible for him to go to the battlefield.

While they were chatting in the wing, Zhang Qing also summoned his loyal men to discuss in the inner courtyard study.

"If the Houjun Qianhu Station can't suppress it, then I will send someone there."

Zhang Qing was not in a good mood at the moment. It was really the hundreds of households in the Houjun Qianhu Station who were too arrogant and did not take the commander of the guards seriously at all, and actually wanted to make trouble with them.

"Sir Zhang, I have just spent a year at the Houjun Qianhu Station, and I really can't control it. Give me some more time, and I will definitely clean up those thorns."

The newly appointed Houjun Qianhu bowed hurriedly and said.

The original Houjun Qianhu was finally taken down this year due to the unfavorable rectification in previous years and replaced by people under Zhang Qing.

However, this guard station has been disorganized for a long time. Now the Jiujiang Guards want to strengthen the training of the lower guard stations. As a result, the hundreds of households under the Houjun Qianhu Station can jump higher than anyone else.

There was no way. In order to ensure the fighting strength of the ten hundred households and the supply of money and food for them, Jiujiang Wei further squeezed the military pay that should be allocated to the other hundred households. Those people had long complained.

"For half a year, you are not allowed to cause trouble down there. You can skip training, but you must be honest to me."

Zhang Qingwei looked at the man with slightly cloudy eyes, and then spoke word by word.

Now that the distribution of Wei Li's rights has been completed, he is the winner of this battle, not only because of his military merits, but also because of the support from Nanjing.

Although his subordinates now control two thousand households, they are only in name. Except for the right army's thousand households, which is firmly controlled, the control over the rear army's thousand households is very weak.

The key to the problem now is that the people below cannot cause trouble.

"Sir Zhang, not only the rear army, but also the other thousand households are actually unstable. Many people are dissatisfied with the deduction of military pay to supply those hundreds of households."

Although Houjun Qianhu knew that the time was not right, he still told everything he knew.

"So at this time, the rear army cannot cause trouble for me first."

Zhang Qing closed his eyes and said slowly.

After a while, Zhang Qingcai asked again, "What's the situation over there in Pengze? Are the hundreds of households down there still stable?"

This question was obviously meant for Wu Zhankui. Although he was already in command, Wu Zhankui still didn't dare to breathe in front of his father-in-law.

Upon hearing the question, Wu Zhankui said hurriedly: "Dong'er received a letter half a month ago. Two hundred households below had some complaints, but they have been dealt with."

"Tell those assassins later that if anyone dares to make a mistake, I will send his family to Zhejiang to fight against Japanese pirates."

Zhang Qing was really angry when he heard that the Youjun Qianhu Station, which he thought he had complete control over, was showing signs of instability.

In the eyes of their commanders, these guys are nothing but mud.

They tried their best to come up with this method to deal with the recruitment. Indeed, this affected their wallets, but can money be compared with life?

"Just tell the following, if anyone is dissatisfied, please give me a list, and I will personally send them to the Governor's Mansion and send their family to Zhejiang. There is a shortage of people there now."

Although only ten hundred households were trained and trained, it was the life-saving method they thought of as a way for the guards commanders to protect their retreat at critical moments on the battlefield, but this was not said to the outside world.

Naturally, the reason for deducting people's money and food is to tell them that they don't need to go to the battlefield to fight.

But before that, because those people saw that they were actually sent to Zhejiang, everyone was just happy at first.

But now, for more than a year, the officers and soldiers in Zhejiang have been fighting fiercely with the Japanese pirates. There has been no transfer order from Nanjing, and nearly half of the military pay has been withheld. Naturally, some people have begun to feel dissatisfied.

According to the rules, everyone should sweep Xueer in front of the door.

If something happens to someone in his charge, he will naturally have to answer to others in Wei, so Zhang Qingcai called in all his men.

"Wei Meng, can your commander-in-chief pull him out?"

Although you can threaten those people, you still need to take necessary precautions.

The two governors of the guard station each control the manpower of a general banner, which is equivalent to the size of a hundred-household team.

Yes, Zhang Qing plans to use Wei Meng's men to arrest people once he discovers any bad signs, so as to control all unstable factors in the bud.

"They are all veterans who have been on the battlefield and can be deployed at any time."

Wei Meng, who had been making soy sauce below, stood up quickly and said.

"That's good."

Zhang Qing seemed very satisfied, and then continued: "You, and Zhankui, when you write letters to Peng Ze, you must warn the two little guys, those two hundred people, give me Hold on tight and practice hard."

Having said this, Zhang Qing turned to the rear army Qianhu and said: "The same goes for you over there, the two hundred households team, give me some training. You also went to Zhejiang last time. You should know that if you lose your chain at a critical moment, you may lose your life." It’s all gone.”

"Yes Yes Yes."

Qianhu from the rear army nodded hurriedly in response, then raised his head and asked, "Sir, are we still going to be sent to the coast?"

"If it was in southern Zhili or Fujian or Zhejiang, they would have been sent there long ago."

Zhang Qing shook his head slightly and said: "My father-in-law has been helping to hold it up. Now it is Zhang Jing who is in charge of suppressing the Japanese. This old guy is a bit hard to talk to."

He sighed and said, "It's always good to have a hand in case of trouble."

While the two were asking and answering, no one noticed the cold light in Wei Meng's eyes as he looked at the thousands of households in the rear army.
