Zhao Ming went through all parts of Ningbo and carried a large number of people and materials to the island.He left some supplies for the rebels who continued to stay in eastern Zhejiang to resist the Qing Dynasty, and showed no mercy to most of the remaining people and gentry who chose to submit to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.Among them, perhaps the vast majority of them just wanted to survive and did not think about helping the Qing army, but as long as they surrendered, paid grain and taxes to the Manchus, and served as conscripts, they were actually supporting the Qing army in disguise.At the end of August, Zhao Ming returned to Zhoushan Island and was not in a hurry to attack immediately.In this battle of western Zhejiang, although Zhao Ming won, the men and horses also need to rest.This is because he has seized a large number of materials and weapons, and the army needs to be redressed, second, he needs to expand again and need to be reorganized, and third, he wants to improve the functions of the Zhejiang Metropolitan Command and Envoy Department to end the chaos of his department.In the Battle of Jinhua, Zhao Ming contributed a lot, but he did not get the territory, so when distributing the seizures, Zhu Yihai gave Zhao Ming some more equipment and horses.The things Zhao Ming asked for were mainly birds, bows and arrows, and armor, and he also got 8,000 horses.After these things were given to Zhao Ming, it was enough for him to reorganize his subordinates, preparing to train a strong army of at least 20,000 people.Jintang Island, inside the official office.Zhao Ming sat behind the table, and Chen Yujie stood and reported, "Dashuai, I have counted the seized things.There are only about 3,000 pieces of armor that can be used directly, and most of the rest are damaged, and only 2,000 rods are selected for the bird gun, and 3,000 rods need to be returned to the furnace for retraining. ”Zhao Ming thought about his army, at present, there are frequent wars, the consumption of soldiers is huge, and the direction of training can only choose the arms that are relatively easy to organize and train.The first is to choose the arms to be easy to train, the second is to make the equipment as simple as possible, unified in style, and easy to replenish, and the third is to be cheap and able to withstand consumption.After such a screening, Zhao Ming was ready to choose musketeers and spearmen, in addition to some cavalry and artillery teams.At this time, the performance of the musket is actually not comparable to the bow and arrow in many cases, and the reason why the musket gradually replaced the bow and arrow is actually because it is cheap and simple to train.It takes more than half a year or more to make a good infantry bow, but it only takes a month for a musket, two to three years for an archer to train, and three months for a musketeer to be drawn into battle.In addition, the manufacture of lead bullets is much easier than that of arrows, and it is even easier for the soldiers to make it themselves by lighting a bonfire while on the march, and the workshop uses molds to produce it.The training of spearmen takes a relatively short time, only half a year, and then a few battles to become an elite soldier.Therefore, Zhao Ming chose to use musketeers and spearmen as the main forces in the army, these two types of troops are very suitable for rioters.However, Zhao Ming did not turn all his soldiers into musketeers and spearmen, in fact, he was also preparing to keep a considerable part of the army to train bows and arrows, swords and shields, and mandarin duck formations.This part of the army will take the flag team and the bureau as a unit to attack and harass the coastal areas by boat.Most of the troops captured in the war were damaged, Zhao Ming bowed slightly, "Equip the equipment that can be used, and repair the rest that can be repaired, and all that cannot be repaired will be restored!"
”Chen Yujie clasped his fists and saluted, "I understand my humble duties!"
”Zhao Ming nodded, "In the future, in the army, the focus will be on manufacturing muskets and spears, and for muskets, Ben Shuai has an idea!"
”Chen Yujie said curiously: "Please also ask for advice!"
”Zhao Ming said: "Ben Shuai observed that when the soldiers used the muskets, it was very troublesome to load, so I thought about Chief Chen, whether he could make a paper tube to load the gunpowder and ammunition in advance, and when the soldiers used it, they could bite it and use it directly." ”The fixed gunpowder of the Ming Dynasty musket has long been available, and when Qi Jiguang was in power, each soldier brought more than a dozen bamboo tubes filled with gunpowder, and poured out the gunpowder when used.Zhao Ming's suggestion goes a step further than using a bamboo tube.After hearing this, Chen Yujie thought about it and didn't dare to guarantee it, but just hugged his fists and said: "Find a craftsman to try it, and after making a sample, present it to the handsome." ”Zhao Ming bowed slightly, "Okay, you can do it as soon as possible!"
”This plan can be achieved, Zhao Ming can train batches of musketeers like flowing water, and then cooperate with the fixed gunpowder, even if the Qing army can fight again, Lao Tzu will pile up batches of Manchu Qing.Thinking of this, Zhao Ming couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart.After explaining the matter of the equipment, Zhao Ming immediately convened the main backbone to discuss the matter.In the Ming Dynasty's guard system, they all commanded the envoys, which were equivalent to large military regions, and were quite independent and self-sufficient, just like an independent kingdom.Generally speaking, all command divisions, there are all commanders and envoys, and they are all in command of two people, and from the second grade, they are all in command of four people, and they are in charge of three products.In addition, there are also experience divisions, six products, all things, seven products, six products, deputy judgments, seven products, prison divisions, and nine products.Because the guard is self-sufficient, pays its own taxes, and manages its own military households, it is completely independent of the locality, and the military registration, taxation, and judicial judgment are all resolved internally, and only when there is a conflict with the locality, it is reported to the governor, and the governor and governor make a decision.Under this system, Zhao Ming can get a small court out with a little flexibility.In the official hall, Zhao Ming sat in the middle hall, he was the commander of the envoy, responsible for the overall situation, and on both sides sat a group of subordinates, including old people and people who had just taken refuge.At this time, Zhao Ming glanced at everyone, everyone was sitting upright, looking at Zhao Ming sideways."
Everyone, now they are all commanding the envoys, and their strength is growing stronger day by day, but the functions are very chaotic, and today the commander will give you a specific division for administrative operations!"
Zhao Ming said a word, then looked at Ma Shiao and said: "Mr.
Ma, you know the same military equipment, you can recruit staff, take charge of army training, select military attachés, military registration, ordnance, etc. ”According to Zhao Ming's consciousness, Ma Shiao is equivalent to being in charge of a small military department.Ma Shiao was not surprised by this, he just clenched his fists, "Humble and orderly!"
”Zhao Ming immediately said to Chen Mingyu: "Mr.
Chen, you are a fellow acquaintance of the tunhu, and you also recruit staff to take charge of the household registration of the tunhu, as well as all financial matters such as land, taxes, and salaries. ”Chen Mingyu stood up and saluted, "Humble and orderly!"
”Zhao Ming continued: "Chief Chen, Feng Yushi, Dai Zhizhi, and Xu Zhizhi, although you are not the officials of my Zhejiang Metropolitan Command Envoy, but Ben Shuai has already recommended the four of you to the imperial court to be the commander of the Imperial Envoy. ”Chen Yujie, Feng Jingdi, Dai Zhijun, and Xu Fuyuan were all officials who had been canonized by the imperial court, some of them were borrowed by Zhao Ming from King Lu, and some were guerrillas in eastern Zhejiang and took refuge in Zhao Ming.The four of them listened to Zhao Ming's words, and got up and clenched their fists together, "Inferior rank and other people Xie Dashuai to carry it." ”Zhao Ming then said: "Chen is in charge of engineering, in charge of weapon casting, managing craftsmen, as well as mining, fort building, and shipbuilding.Feng Yushi is the director of the Criminal Division, responsible for the trial of criminal cases in Tunhu.Dai gave advice to the ceremonial department, and was responsible for the management of rituals, as well as the establishment of official schools in various health centers.Xu gave advice to the officials to be responsible for managing the clerical work and assessing the officials!
”The four of them listened to Zhao Ming's words, they couldn't believe it, and after being stunned for a moment, they saluted again, "The lowly rank and others receive the order, the marshal rest assured, we will definitely be loyal and dutiful, and do the things that the marshal commands!"
”When Zhao Ming heard this, he was satisfied, and in this way, he turned the two acquaintances and the four affairs into a small six departments in disguise, which was enough for administrative operation.
