In March of the first year of Tianqi, all the 100,000 border troops drawn from each town finally arrived in the capital. Zhu Youxiao's main energy was also focused on the reorganization of these border troops.

The scale of the martial arts lecture hall has expanded by more than ten times.

Among the five infantry divisions in the Jing camp, with this expansion operation, a large number of grassroots officers and ordinary soldiers were drawn out and sent to the martial arts lecture hall for three months of further study.

Especially the Fifth Infantry Division transferred to Jinzhou, a large number of soldiers were promoted to grassroots officers, and a large number of grassroots officers were transferred back to the capital, preparing to be the backbone officers of the reorganization of 100,000 border troops this time.

Zhang Kuotu was depressed. After this transfer order, the combat effectiveness of the Fifth Infantry Division suddenly decreased a lot. After all, officers are the soul of an army, and the Fifth Infantry Division has just grown up. However, the Fifth Infantry Division has combat experience after all, and it is relatively easy to recover its strength. It only takes a while. However, in the short term, Zhang Kuotu does not intend to sweep north.

With the current state of the Fifth Infantry Division, it is easy to have problems if it encounters the main force of Jiannu. After all, the difference in strength is quite different, and more than half of the grassroots officers of the Fifth Infantry Division were taken away, which was simply "severely injured". Without three or five months, they would be unable to relieve themselves.

Zhang Kuotu could only hide in Jinzhou to train soldiers. Fortunately, the martial arts lecture hall sent a group of instructors to set up a temporary martial arts lecture hall in Jinzhou, and was teaching the group of ordinary soldiers with certain cultures promoted.

The night school still achieved good results, and there were still a large number of ordinary soldiers in the army who were willing to learn culture. The current model of Beijing camp does not require soldiers to have complex ideas. When they go to the battlefield, they only need to obey military orders. However, culture still needs to be taught. Otherwise, where will the officers be promoted? Moreover, the night school does not teach complex ideas. In addition to allowing soldiers to have a certain culture, it is mainly to further instill the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor.

The treatment of soldiers in Beijing has changed drastically compared to before. At the same time, they have sufficient equipment and logistics, and they have never treated them unfairly in terms of rewards. What reason do these soldiers have not been loyal to the emperor?

But many times, just doing it and not saying it is a fool. Just saying and not doing it is a liar.

Since we have given good treatment, we naturally need to promote it more and always clarify who gave them such good treatment.

Real treatment, coupled with continuous publicity, and the night school cultural classes used many stories of loyalty as textbooks, so the effect is very good.

Ordinary soldiers almost regarded Zhu Youxiao as their reborn parents.

Such policies are obviously very effective in preventing rebellion. Ordinary soldiers and middle and lower-level officers are unwilling to rebel, which forms a powerful "potential energy", and those masters will be swept away by this "potential", thus killing any rebellion at the source.

The benefits of giving soldiers a culture are obvious. The only problem is that the cost will be higher. But the cost will not be much higher. Soldiers mainly wait for free time at night. That is, pay more salaries to some teachers and spend more pens, inks and papers in normal times.

For Zhu Youxiao, who is very afraid of death, when he trains a group of strong combat power, the first thing he considers is whether there will be a rebellion. So he is still willing to pay for this cost.

Zhu Youxiao, who was training the new army in Beijing, was busy at this time. This time, he trained 100,000 Beijing camps at one time, and the personnel were relatively large, which tests the organizational ability. In order to train this group of border troops, more than 300 people were recruited in various types of documents. There were also many scholars in the Ming Dynasty, and there were always people willing to come to Beijing camps to be documents.

The treatment given by Jingying is also relatively good. Ordinary documents can earn 10 silver dollars a month, and they do nothing more than registering and coordinating data and other work.

One hundred thousand border soldiers were placed in ten scattered military camps. After further registration, each border soldier received an identity card and two sets of military uniforms.

Many border soldiers felt novel about this identity card military uniform. The purpose of making the military card bigger is to confirm the identity of the fallen soldiers on the battlefield. The red military uniform looks very prominent and mighty. The Ming Dynasty advocates fire virtue, and the uniforms of officials are mainly red. Later, the Qing Dynasty believed that the northern black water defeated the fire of the Ming Dynasty. The water was black, so the Qing Dynasty's official uniforms were black.

Then he confirmed the organization and worked hard until mid-March to organize the 100,000 border troops into nine infantry divisions.

Regarding the organization of the infantry division, Zhu Youxiao absorbed the experience accumulated by the Fifth Infantry Division on the Liaodong battlefield and decided to equip musketeers with iron armor. However, Sun Chuanting had a different view and suggested to Zhu Youxiao: "I think musketeers do not need to be equipped with iron armor. First, the maneuverability will decrease after equipping with iron armor. Second, you only need to equip the Beijing camp with enough field artillery. On the battlefield, the Jiannu infantry will be blasted by our field artillery first. At that time, Jiannu may not be able to pour many arrows into the musketeers' phalanx."

"What I said is not without reason, but musketeers are equipped with iron armor, and they can be foolproof on the battlefield." Zhu Youxiao thought about it and felt that artillery may not be able to support infantry at all times. The situation on the battlefield changes a little quickly, so he insisted on equiping musketeers with iron armor.

"Your Majesty, it's better to train the Beijing camp into two types. One is musket soldiers wearing iron armor and sent to Liaodong to fight. The other is not equipped with iron armor and does not need to be equipped with archers. It can be used on other battlefields. At the same time, this will save military expenses more." Sun Chuanting tried to suggest and came up with a compromise plan.

"Okay, what should I do?" Zhu Youxiao agreed immediately after hearing this. The main reason is the cost!

"In addition, there are too many ten people in the depth of the spearmen. I think three people are very enough. If the formation is set up, the enemy can rush to the front under the attack of firearms, and the formation will inevitably be more scattered. The third row of spearmen can only stabilize the position." Sun Chuanting continued to suggest that the depth of the spearmen was cut even harder. The main reason is that he felt that there was no need for that after equipping field artillery.

Zhu Youxiao's ideas in this regard tend to be conservative, saying: "There are too few three people, and the continuous hand-to-hand combat ability is relatively poor. Let's have four!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Sun Chuanting did not continue to insist. The poor hand-to-hand combat capability of the Ming munitions has always been a problem. The Battle of Sarhu was particularly fatal.
