The next morning, Zhu Hongsan saw that everyone had finished resting and ordered to set off. Now there are less than fifty miles away from Xin'an, so Zhu Hongsan did not order the marching urgently like yesterday, but just moved forward at a normal speed.

Zhu Hongsan looked at Qian Yong's panda eyes and smiled and said, "Sibao, didn't sleep well yesterday?"

Qian Yong didn't say anything, Zhao Guodong next to him grinned and said, "Sir, Sibao washed his underwear all night last night. He was very tired, hahahaha!!!"

Qian Yong glared at Zhao Guodong and cursed fiercely: "Zhao Si, your mother, you are not without a woman, why do you have to save your underwear into a bunch of people without washing?"

Zhao Guodongss said alike: "That woman is tired and can't let her work."

Qian Yong scolded: "You little fucking lyrics, are you reluctant to let your daughter do your job?"

Zhao Guodong's wife was the eldest daughter of the Dong family in Henan. The twin Dong sisters belonged to Zhu Hongsan, and the eldest daughter was given to Zhao Guodong. Of course, the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter could not work.

Zhao Guodong was originally just a farmer who farmed outside Kaifeng City, Henan Province. He had no choice but to leave his hometown and head south to Huguang. A poor boy was short of breath in front of such a daughter. In addition, he was very proud of his family. In recent years, he gave birth to three boys for Zhao Guodong in a row. Dong was even more serious at home. There were not even a younger woman at home, and there were only four mothers, and Zhao Guodong washed his own clothes.

Zhao Guodong was told about the central matter by Qian Yong, his face flushed and cursed: "You Qian Sibao, I am better than you. I have three sons, a hundred times better than your two money-losing goods."

This sentence poked Qian Yong's lung tube. Qian Yong snatched his wife from Yangzhuangji back then and gave birth to two girls for him in recent years. This is Qian Yong's pain point.

Qian Yong saw that Zhao Guodong didn’t open any pot and was about to open a mouth and curse, Zhu Hongsan said on the side: “Stop talking, what’s wrong with girls? Zhao Si, you should make a family with Qian Yong. Sibao two girls marry your two sons, one son-in-law and half a son. In this way, Sibao will have a son? None of you suffer a loss.”

Of course, the two of them dared not ignore Zhu Hongsan's words, and quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Chief."

Zhu Hongsan said: "You two know clearly that the army's training needs to be strengthened. It's a bit like this now, but it's not enough. What we will face in the future is not bandits, but the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty in the north."

Qian Yong said happily: "Sir, want to send troops to the north? Let me go!"

Zhu Hongsan shook his head and said, "There are only 6,000 people now, and it's not enough to get stuck in the teeth. At least 500,000 people can make gestures."

Qian Yong and Zhao Guodong were stunned. They never thought that they could lead a troops of more than 100,000 people in their minds.

Qian Yong asked with a flushed face: "Sir, can we all bring more than 100,000 troops in the future?"

Zhu Hongsan looked at the excited two people and laughed and scolded: "Don't you think you will be able to lead 3,000 people in this life, right? Let me tell you the truth. In a few days, I will recruit 30,000 soldiers first, and divide them into two divisions and ten regiments. Then you two will be the division commanders."

Thinking of how he could lead an army of 15,000 like this, the two of them were full of passion. After several battles, they knew the combat effectiveness of their army. It would be fine if the army of 15,000 like this full firearms army would face 50,000 Ming army.

Zhu Hongsan looked at the two guys falling into fantasy and said, "Don't be too happy too early. If I find that your training is not qualified, let alone the commander, don't be the commander of the regiment. Just go and be the company commander."

The two were so scared that they were more uncomfortable than death when they were going to be company commanders. The two hurriedly said goodbye to Zhu Hongsan, rushed to their troops, and prepared to start strengthening their training.

Seeing the two of them leaving in a hurry, Zhu Hongsan smiled. Ma Shaoguang next to him asked, "Prince, do you really want to expand your army of 30,000? But our financial situation does not allow it. Based on the 100 taels of silver per person, 30,000 tons will cost 3 million taels, which does not include the cost of daily training."

Zhu Hongsan glared at Ma Shaoguang and said, "Boyu, do your job as a secretary well. Your current identity is not where you speak. If you want to make suggestions, wait until you reach your father's position."

After saying that, Zhu Hongsan didn't care about Ma Shaoguang's expression and rode his horse on the road.

Ma Shaoguang was itchy after being angry with Zhu Hongsan, but now he was unable to be controlled by others. In addition, he has seen a lot of experience with Ma Jiyuan in recent years. Ma Shaoguang is no longer the passionate scholar in the past. He knew that the world is in chaos now, and only a military leader like Zhu Hongsan is the largest, and a scholar like him can only rely on him.

Zhu Hongsan didn't care about Ma Shaoguang's psychological activities at all and led the troops to continue on the road.

Today, Zhu Hongsan did not make any more trouble and march. When it was dark, the troops arrived at Xixiang Town, ten miles outside Xin'an County. Zhu Hongsan ordered camp here.

In the evening, Zhu Hongsan came to the meeting, and all the officers at the battalion company level attended the meeting. At the meeting, Zhu Hongsan severely criticized everyone's unpositive attitude of training, and stipulated that urgent marches were held from time to time every month. The next time a team fell behind would be no more than washing underwear. They would directly demoted themselves to the first level of military rank.

The military rank system and welfare benefits of Zhu Hongsan's troops are linked to each other. If you reduce one level, you will have a lot of income. This punishment is not bad for everyone.

If you give me a stick, you must give me a sweet date. Then Zhu Hongsan made a decision to expand his army by 30,000 after he went back. This decision was very satisfying. You should know that the team expanded by five times, and the army in the hands of these battalion company commanders also expanded by five times accordingly.

Zhu Hongsan looked at them with a smile and continued, "Tomorrow, I will hold an exercise outside Xin'an County, taking Xin'an County as the enemy. Suppose we are the siege. At that time, I will look at your training situation and decide on future promotions."

This made everyone very happy and said that they would make twelve points of effort to complete the exercise tomorrow.

Zhu Hongsan nodded and said, "It's okay, everyone go and rest. We will start to attack Xin'an County after breakfast tomorrow."

I was speechless all night, and after dinner the next morning, the team rushed to Xin'an County.

Xixiang Town is only ten miles away from Xin'an County, and it has arrived at the city before noon.

Xin'an County in the Ming Dynasty was newly established during the Wanli period. Originally, this place was under the jurisdiction of Dongguan County. Because large ocean-going ships had to enter and exit Guangzhou, they had to go around Lantau Island and pass through the Nantou before Humen could enter the Pearl River. Therefore, Nantou became the throat of Guangzhou's overseas transportation channel, and commerce began to flourish.

Therefore, in the first year of Wanli, Xin'an County was built here in Nantou, and the meaning of "reform the old and the innovation, eliminate dangers and make peace".

During the Jiajing period, in order to face the increasingly serious harassment of Japanese pirates and pirates, the Guangdong governor set up six water camps along the estuary of the Pearl River, and the navy headquarters patrols were set up in Nantou Water Village. At the same time, in order to predict the enemy situation, a beacon tower was built on the top of Xiaonan Mountain in Chiwan. As the eyes and ears of Nantou Water Village, when there was an enemy situation, he used smoke during the day and fire at night to call the police.

Now Zhu Hongsan and his team of more than 6,000 people appeared outside Xin'an City, and the beacon was quickly lit on the beacon tower. When the guards on Xin'an County wall saw such a group of people coming, they immediately closed the city gate and notified the county magistrates in the city, and they all seemed to be facing a great enemy.

You should know that Xin'an County has just been established for a few years, and there are not 20,000 people in the city, and there are only less than 1,000 soldiers guarding the city. Zhu Hongsan has 6,000 people, so it is no wonder that the county is in a panic.

Zhu Hongsan ignored those things and arrived three miles outside the city and ordered the team to set up formation and start the exercise to attack Xin'an County.

Six artillery companies, a total of 108 artillery pieces, were lined up and started shooting at the county walls. This was an exercise, so there was no live ammunition loading, but gunpowder firing was also sound, and the volley of more than 100 artillery pieces could be considered deafening.

Xin'an County Magistrate Peng Ershu just received a notice from his subordinates that a group of troops came from outside the city, but it seemed that they were not official troops.

Peng Ershu quickly ordered people to go to Nantou Water Village to ask for help, and took people to the city to see what was going on.

As soon as the magistrate of County Peng climbed the city, he heard the loud noise of cannons outside. He was so scared that he was lying on the city. He lay on the top of the city and saw that the dark army three miles outside the city were all in the army, wearing red and blue uniforms, not the official army.

There are hundreds of Folang cannons next to it. The magistrate of Peng County has been in Xin'an County for three years. He always deals with Folang robots. He has seen Folang cannons. This time, he saw Zhu Hongsan's cannons, and thought it was Folang cannons.

But this is scary enough. You should know that there are not hundreds of Folang machine cannons in the entire Ming Dynasty. This time, more than one hundred cannons appeared, so the magistrate Peng could calm down.
Chapter completed!
