"Who are you? The command made the adults listen to you?" Some soldiers woke up from their excitement, very worried that the pie falling from the sky would turn into a stone that smashed their heads when it fell on the ground.

"My name is Wang Xin. My father has several textile factories in the south, and I have considerable assets. My father once said that there is a factory whose income is under my control. The factory has income every year. If what I say is not true, it will be The factory donated it as a food subsidy for Fenziying." Zhu Youzhen's words were loud and loud, and it didn't seem to be a lie at all.

There was a moment of silence, and it was obvious that everyone was thinking that Zhu Youjian's words were somewhat credible.

"Which eldest brother has been to the front line and participated in the battle?" Zhu Youjian asked questions that he had prepared for a long time.

"I."

"I."

"I."…

Several people raised their hands high, as if they were afraid that Zhu Youjian would not be able to see them. It seems that the words of Zhu Youjian, the "rich second generation", have already been believed.

"I haven't been to the front line. Can you tell me something about the front line?" Zhu Youzhen is certainly not curious. Battlefields, blood, and death can build up the morale of soldiers and inspire their wildness.

Speaking of the battlefield, whether you have been on the battlefield or have never been on the battlefield, you can talk about a long period of time, and the atmosphere suddenly becomes active.

The story of everyone is finally finished. In fact, the only audience in the audience is Zhu Youjian, because these stories have been passed down thousands of times among the soldiers.

"The battlefield is dangerous and bloody. Brothers, how can you protect yourself on the battlefield?" Zhu Youjian had become one with the soldiers unconsciously.

Everyone thinks that Zhu Youzhen is afraid, too, at such a young age, he is a rich second generation. There is no eye on the battlefield. Who doesn't come by peeing on his pants? "Run, what else?" A hairy guy's answer was immediately cursed by everyone.

"coward."

"It's free of rations."

"What didn't you grow?"

"You can hide in your mother-in-law's crotch."

The Maotou boy seemed embarrassed, and as if he was afraid of leaving a bad impression on Zhu Youjian, he really hid behind.

"Let me say," an older veteran who may have been on the battlefield, with a calm tone and clear eyes, as if he was reminiscing about the blood-splitting battlefield, "I just practice my skills."

Incisive. Zhu Youjian sighed secretly, in the era of cold weapons, personal skills are indeed the most important.

"There is also discipline. Strict military discipline is the guarantee of victory." A soldier added. "The Yue Family Army and the Qi Family Army used strict discipline to discourage the enemy."

Back at the camp, Zhu Youjian was considering how to talk to Qin Yongnian about feeding the soldiers. Qin Yongnian was also looking for Zhu Youjian, "Wang Xin, are you used to the boring days in the army?"

"Fortunately, Commander Xie made your lord care. Can I ask you a question?" Zhu Youjian knew that the problem of the military's unpaid salary would make Qin Yongnian a headache, but this will be faced sooner or later, otherwise, he will come by himself. The barracks have no meaning.

"Let's talk!" Qin Yongnian didn't take this young lord's question seriously either.

"Can the soldiers eat their food?" Zhu Youjian was also uneasy. Who knows how much Qin Yongnian is greedy for ink in the middle? But the question always needs to be said. Without Qin Yongnian’s support, it would be unrealistic for the soldiers to eat well. As his prince, Qin Yongnian would not dare to do anything to himself even if he did not agree. He would follow Qin Yongnian’s attitude. To decide the countermeasures.

Qin Yongnian did not speak, he stared at Zhu Youzhen as if he wanted to see the true meaning in his eyes.

Zhu Youzhen didn't mean to give in at all: "Your commander, the soldiers stayed in the barracks all their lives, always ready to shed blood and sacrifice for Daming. How can you train and fight if you don't have enough food?"

"His Royal Highness, do you know how much money it will cost?" Qin Yongnian didn't know the importance of eating enough, but he could not solve the problem of eating for the soldiers. As a general, what can he do

"I will come out with the silver, and the soldier's free payment..." Zhu Youzhen also stared at Qin Yongnian, not knowing how much he was greedy for ink.

Facing the young prince, Qin Yongnian did not panic. It is the practice of all the Beijing army, even all the army of Ming Dynasty, to eat empty pay, which is equivalent to the unspoken rules of later generations, and he himself receives very little. If the imperial court rectifies the problem of empty payment, it is afraid that it will cause an earthquake for the entire Ming army, or it will cause a mutiny, and the cabinet will not send a minor prince to investigate.

"I will take out all the part I got, and the prince will not chase the others."

Zhu Youjian did not expect to solve the problem so smoothly. In fact, as long as the soldiers are full at the last meal, there will be no increase in food at the next meal. If each meal is not full, the soldiers’ food will be backlogged. The so-called "one Not full, not full”. However, for Qin Yongnian to take out his illegal gains, should he cut his flesh? Thinking of this, he cast a questioning look at Qin Yongnian.

Qin Yongnian had a calm face. He was considered a professional soldier, but in the big corrupt tank at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he could not be alone unless he lived a life of "not being bent over five buckets of rice" like Tao Yuanming.

Zhu Youjian looked away from Qin Yongnian. There is no need to look at him. Qin Yongnian can take the initiative to show his greed for ink, which shows that he doesn't value this extra income. Maybe he was forced to!

For example, four directors face tens of millions of cash, and three of them want to divide it. What should you do by yourself? If you want to be clean and self-conscious, the other three will never dare to divide, but they will slander and blow you away. The lighter one will transfer you away, and the heavy one will kill you. You ruin money and money like killing your parents.

Therefore, in the age when the world is drunk, it is difficult for you to wake up alone. Either go alone to pick chrysanthemums in Nanshan like Tao Yuanming, or go to the Miluo River to feed fish like Qu Yuan. If you do not choose either, you can only choose to swim in the dye vat, whether you like it or not.

"His Royal Highness, this empty payment has been around for a long time, and all armies exist. The local guards are probably even more serious."

"I understand that I am not going to rectify the empty salary. I just want to feed the soldiers and train them vigorously. When it comes to war, they are an army that can fight."

The two are in a tacit understanding. Qin Yongnian took another look at Zhu Youjian. Although he was physically strong, he was only fifteen years old and had never dabbled in military affairs. Was it a whim, or was it Daming’s master of ZTE

"As long as the soldiers can eat, I promise to get angry, and the army will be shocked. Soon, the Ministry of War will inspect the Beijing army, and I guarantee that the Fenzi Battalion is the best." Zhu Youjian actually doesn't know how to train the army. It is estimated that there will be people in the army. They are working hard because they can't eat enough. If they can eat enough, someone will definitely stand up and lead everyone in training. But he didn't know how the effect was, so he didn't dare to say anything full, and used some vague words. Fortunately, Qin Yongnian did not intend that Zhu Youzhen could train an elite army, nor did he make him issue a military order. What.

After a busy day, I finally returned to the camp. After Zhu Youjian took a shower, he began to practice Xu Ji magical power again. After several days of cultivation, Xiao Zhoutian has been extremely smooth, and he started to practice Da Zhoutian tonight. The big week is based on the small week, and the true energy circulates in the limbs. After completing the Great Zhou Tian, the true energy can really penetrate the whole body, and the virtual pole can be used in actual combat.

The first time was slightly difficult, especially since it was difficult for Zhen Qi to circulate in the lower limbs. Zhu Youzhen slowly guided Zhen Qi and moved slowly, and it took more than an hour to complete the Great Zhou Tian. The second and third time, it is a familiar road, Zhenqi runs much faster, but it is still not able to send and receive freely.

After three times, Zhu Youjian began to practice external skills. First review the five dragons return to the cave, the Buddha's mother consecrated the light, the wind does not end, the shower does not return, and the god of valley opens the sky. Since the Great Zhou Tian had passed, the true energy had reached the limbs, and the moves became smoother. He started practicing the sword technique according to the fist score again, because it was the first time to practice, although it was assisted by Zhen Qi, it was not particularly enjoyable.

Three days later, the soldiers arrived at the playground on time, ready to perform exercises.

In fact, in the later period of Ming Dynasty, it was not common for soldiers to leave for exercises on time. Zhu Youzhen secretly sighed in his heart that his impression of Qin Yongnian had improved a bit.

Qin Yongnian personally stood on the high platform. He did not ask for training according to the usual practice, but cleared his throat: "Brothers of Fenziying, today, Wang Xin, the staff of the camp, will give you some good news. "After speaking, he stepped back two steps and let Zhu Youjian come to the front of the stage.

There are more than 6,000 soldiers in the ranks below, with countless pairs of eyes full of indifference. Maybe tomorrow they will go to the battlefield to fight, sweat and blood, and even sacrifice. Good things will never be their turn. Zhu Youjian was not surprised. Indifference was not the fault of the soldiers, but their despair in life. A person who can’t eat enough, thinks about one thing all day: so that he can eat enough? Can’t eat enough for a long time, there is no hope, only endless waiting, can you expect them to make a blood for the country and the people? In Zhu Youjian's eyes, most of them will become the elite of the Ming army, as long as they can eat well.

"Brothers from Fenziying, starting today, all officers and soldiers can eat their fill."

There was silence at first, followed by quiet discussions, and finally cheers:

"Commander Xie, your lord."

"Xie Wang, staff adviser."

"Long live the emperor."

"Long live Daming."

The most basic life requirement of eating enough food can make the soldiers cheer and cheer up so much. Qin Yongnian is deeply moved. Zhu Youjian feels sad for Daming. He has made his decision not only for him, but also for him. It is for these soldiers at the bottom of society.

"Brothers of Fenziying, you are the elites of Daming, the elites of defending the capital and the masters. Only when you have enough food can you have the strength to train, kill the enemy, and do meritorious services. You have defended Daming so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. It will solve your worries about food and clothing."

"..."

"Brothers in Fenziying, have any of you ever been on the battlefield, killed enemies, and made meritorious services?"

Many soldiers cheered below, people who have killed the enemy and made meritorious deeds, who is not proud of themselves
