When the Ming army recaptured Chongqing, Zhao Xu and Li Shitou were naturally very happy.

As the first batch of recruits to join the army, this was their first real battle.

Unlike what they imagined, the Qing army's combat power was not very high, and it was even worse than Wu Sangui who attacked Kunming.

It seems that the so-called Green Camp investment soared after the clearance of the battle power is self-defeating.

Many details on the battlefield need to be explored.

Veterans will only teach you some general things, and it depends on yourself to understand the level.

For example, when should the artillery be fired, when should the artillery be fired, when should the artillery be fired, when should the artillery be fired, and when should the artillery be retreated...

After seeing blood in this battle, they are no longer new recruits who only know how to talk about war on paper, and their mentality is more confident.

"Brother Xuzi, have you heard that His Majesty has found more than a hundred Frankish people in Chongqing City. These red-haired guys are experts in making firearms. His Majesty is preparing to order them to make guns and cannons."

Zhao Xu glanced at Li Shitou, who kept rubbing the barrel of the flintlock gun with a cloth, smiled and said, "This is a good thing. I can't tell you that everyone can get a gun in the future."

"Then aren't our Hu Ben Army invincible?"

The Hu Ben Army is the name of this new army. Interestingly, the new army did not get its name at the beginning.

The emperor gave the name Hu Ben after the new army arrived at Fengjie with him.

Hu Ben is not a new word, it appears frequently in history.

Its earliest appearance was in the Zhou Li:

The Xia Dynasty established the position of "Hu Ben Family", which was specifically responsible for the eight hundred soldiers as brave as tigers. When the emperor went out to fight, the Hu Ben Army went to war with the army; when the emperor lived outside, the Hu Ben Army was responsible for guarding.

In other words, the Hu Ben Army is the Emperor’s personal army!

Moreover, unlike the flowery postures like the Jinyiwei, the Hu Ben Army really wants to go to the battlefield.

Zhao Xu and Li Shitou are both proud to be a member of the Hu Ben Army.

"Haha, don't say this too early. After all, I didn't get enough to fight this time. When did I fight with the Eight Banners, I can really judge the combat power of our Hu Ben Army."

Zhao Xu said very realistically.

"Hehe, I just said that."

Li Shitou shrugged and said, "Then it has been changed to the invincible assembly of the Ming Dynasty? After all, our Ming Dynasty has the war god Li Jin King!"

"That's true!"

Zhao Xu said lightly: "I heard that Your Majesty is preparing to move the capital to Chengdu, and the civil and military personnel must also follow him. In this way, the people will probably have to move a group of people."

Li Shitou scratched his head and said, "Yes, there are too few people who have come to Sichuan all the way. What a pity that this large fertile land is. I heard that Sichuan's land is fertile and suitable for growing crops."

"Food is the most important thing for people. Yunnan has few places suitable for farming, so it is not easy to support more than 100,000 troops."

Li Shitou sighed: "But Sichuan has not suffered from natural disasters. But as long as the imperial decrees can continue, everything will be fine."

"Yes, everything will be fine."

"Uh, by the way. Wouldn't that mean that our Hu Ben Army will also stay in Sichuan?"

Li Shitou suddenly slapped his head.

"Of course, our Hu Ben Army will be wherever the emperor is."

"This time the Donglu suffered a great loss. I guess the captain was unhappy and would soon cause trouble for us."

"What are you afraid of? Just ask them to come over with such a little bit of airs. I haven't played enough yet."

The two of them were chatting with each other. It was not until they heard the sound of the horn that they remembered that the emperor was coming to review today. They quickly sorted out their clothes and rushed out.

I hurriedly arrived at the school ground before the third horn ended.

According to military rules, soldiers who have not appeared after three times of horn sound should be dealt with according to military rules, and at the very least they must be beaten dozens of military sticks.

This really scared them into a cold sweat!

However, Zhu Youlang arrived at the school in a handsome manner in military uniform and climbed onto the station surrounded by a group of generals.

In Chongqing's great victory, the soldiers who have made contributions will naturally be rewarded.

In the past, generals from each department reported a list, and the emperor followed the procedure to approve it according to the list.

This time Zhu Youlang is preparing to change the mode, and he will come to the army to commend the meritorious soldiers.

First, it can narrow the distance between the emperor and the soldiers, so that the emperor is no longer a symbol that is lofty and illusory. Second, it is also conducive to the emperor understanding the soldiers’ demands.

Zhu Youlang had already made a fuss and said passionately: "The great victory in Chongqing is not due to my contributions. I am not due to the King of Jin, but by you. It is precisely because you sacrifice your life and try your best to kill the enemy that Chongqing can recover so easily."

Zhu Youlang paused and glanced at everyone: "If you have any merits, you should reward them. I decided that each of the Hu Ben Army should reward five taels of silver. Those who kill the enemy will receive additional rewards according to the number of heads."

A burst of cheers rang out after a moment of silence.

"Long live your Majesty!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

This reward is extremely generous.

Even if there are no auxiliary soldiers who kill the enemy, the team can get rewards.

As for combat soldiers, you can get a generous reward based on the number of enemies killed.

This reward method is very fair, and it can be accepted by both auxiliary soldiers and combat soldiers.

The emperor is really wise!

Li Shitou was already filled with joy, and he compared the current emperor to a saint like Yao and Shun.

For Zhu Youlang, it is naturally impossible to make a sum of money out of thin air.

All of this money was copied from the Chongqing treasury.

Zhu Youlang stayed some of them in the treasury, and the rest were sent to the soldiers.

It is worth mentioning that most of the silver in Chongqing treasury comes from the "filial piety" of wealthy merchants in the city.

Unfortunately, Gao Min was cut off by Ming Jun before he could catch up on the silver medal.

The money he had worked hard to give to Ming Jun.

Zhu Youlang gained both fame and money, which was the best of both worlds.

He will not be stingy with the soldiers, especially the Hu Ben Army.

If you want the horse to run, you must give it enough food.

Cultivating a sense of loyalty is even more important.

Why do the soldiers be loyal to you?

It’s not just based on your identity as the emperor, but you must really believe in you.

It’s natural to understand this principle.

Zhu Youlang pressed his hands down to signal everyone to calm down.

He cleared his throat and changed his mind, "I decided to move the capital to Chengdu, and the Hu Ben Army, as the escort imperial guard, will also move to the capital. I will give you five acres of fertile land each, which can be cultivated by your family. Taxes are exempted from one year, and one in thirty will be collected in a year."

Zhu Youlang's set is actually the set of Emperor Wen of Han, and a lot of land in the early Han Dynasty could be given at will.

The situation is almost the same now.

Sichuan has suffered a lot of war and suffered serious population losses, and many of its land is homeless.

Wouldn’t it be a waste to keep so many homeless lands from being distributed?

The Chengdu Plain is fertile and fertile, and it is endless to allocate it to the soldiers.

This is just the first step. Next, Zhu Youlang is preparing to immigrate from all over the place to fill the vacancy in Sichuan.
