Chapter 208
Zhao Ming stroked various places in Ningbo and brought a large number of people and supplies to the island.
He left some supplies to the rebels who continued to stay in eastern Zhejiang to fight against the Qing Dynasty. He did not show any mercy to most of the people and gentry who chose to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
Perhaps most of them just wanted to survive and did not think of helping the Qing army, but as long as they surrendered, paid grain, taxes and labor service to the Qing army, they were actually supporting the Qing army in disguise.
At the end of August, Zhao Ming returned to Zhoushan Island and did not rush to attack immediately.
Although Zhao Ming won this battle in western Zhejiang, his troops also need to rest.
This is because he seized a large number of supplies, weapons, and the army needs to be replaced. Second, other people have expanded again and reorganized them. Third, the functions of the Zhejiang Commander Command Department must be improved to end the chaos of his team.
In the Battle of Jinhua, Zhao Ming made great efforts and did not get any territory. Therefore, when he was allocated and seized, Zhu Yihai gave Zhao Ming more equipment and horses.
The things Zhao Ming asked for were mainly bird guns, bows and arrows, and also divided them into 8,000 horses.
After giving these things to Zhao Ming, he was enough to change his subordinates to dress up and reorganize them, and prepare to train at least one strong army of 20,000 people.
Jintang Island, in the official hall.
After Zhao Ming sat at the table, Chen Yujie stood and reported, "Master, the man who was in charge of the seized items. There are only about 3,000 pieces of clothing and armor that can be used directly, and most of the remaining ones are damaged. Only two thousand bird guns were selected, and three thousand were needed to be retrained."
Zhao Ming thought about his army. At present, wars are frequent and soldiers consume a lot. The direction of training can only be selected to train troops that are easier to train.
When choosing a military service, it is necessary to be easy to train, second, the equipment should be as simple as possible, unified in the system, and easy to supplement; third, it must be cheap and able to withstand consumption.
After screening this way, Zhao Ming was preparing to choose musketeers and spearmen, and cooperate with some cavalry and artillery teams.
At this time, the performance of muskets is actually not as good as bows and arrows. The reason why muskets gradually replace bows and arrows is actually because they are cheap and easy to train.
It takes more than half a year to make a good step bow, or even longer, but it takes only one month for a musket. It takes two to three years for a archer to train, and it takes only three months for a musket to be able to be on the battlefield.
In addition, the manufacturing of lead bullets is much easier than arrows. During the march, soldiers can make it by lit a bonfire by themselves. The workshop uses molds to produce it, which is even easier.
The time required for the training of spearmen is also relatively short, only half a year, and then you can become an elite soldier after fighting a few battles.
Therefore, Zhao Ming chose to use musketeers and spearmen as the main force in the army. These two types of troops are very suitable for violent soldiers.
However, Zhao Ming did not turn all his soldiers into musketeers and spearmen. In fact, he is also preparing to retain a considerable number of troops to train bows, arrows, swords and shields, and mandarin duck formations.
This part of the army will use flag teams and bureaus to raid coastal areas by boat.
Most of the troops seized in the war were damaged. Zhao Ming nodded slightly, "Equipment the equipment that can be used, repair the rest of the equipment that can be repaired, and all those that cannot be repaired will be restored!"
Chen Yujie bowed his fists and said, "I understand the humble duty!"
Zhao Ming nodded, "In the future, in the army, we will focus on making muskets and spears. In addition, I have an idea about muskets!"
Chen Yujie said curiously: "Please give me some advice!"
Zhao Ming said: "I observed that when soldiers use muskets, it is very troublesome to load. I was thinking about Chief Chen, whether he could make a paper tube to load gunpowder and ammunition in advance. When the soldiers use it, they could bite it and use it directly."
The fixed-assembled gunpowder for the Ming Dynasty muskets had long been available. During the Qi Jiguang period, each soldier brought more than a dozen bamboo tubes filled with gunpowder and poured out the gunpowder when used.
Zhao Ming's suggestion is a step further than using a bamboo tube.
After hearing this, Chen Yujie thought about it and couldn't guarantee it. He just clasped his fists and said, "I'm going to find a craftsman to try it out, and after creating a sample, it will be presented to the Grand Marshal."
Zhao Ming nodded slightly, "Okay, you can do it as soon as possible!"
If this plan is successful, Zhao Ming becomes able to train batches of musketeers like a flowing water, and then cooperate with fixed-load gunpowder. Even if the Qing army can fight, I will be able to climb batches of people, and the Qing Dynasty will be filled with them.
Thinking of this, a sense of pride ignited in Zhao Ming's heart.
After explaining the equipment, Zhao Ming immediately summoned the main backbone to discuss the matter.
In the Ming Dynasty's garrison system, the commander commander was equivalent to a large military region, with considerable independence and self-sufficiency, just like an independent kingdom.
Generally speaking, there is one commander in the commander of the commander, two commander-in-chiefs, two commander-in-chiefs, four commander-in-chiefs, and three commander-in-chiefs.
In addition, there are experiences in the department, the sixth grade, the capital, the seventh grade, the final, the final, the final, the final, the sixth grade, the deputy final, the seventh grade, the official, the official, the prison, the fourth grade, the prison, the ninth grade.
Because the garrison is self-sufficient, pays taxes and manages military households by itself, it is completely independent of the local government, military registration, tax payment, and judicial decisions, and all are resolved internally. Only when there is conflict with the local government will it be reported and decided by the governor and the governor.
Under this system, Zhao Ming can make a small court come out by making a little effort.
In the official hall, Zhao Ming sat in the middle hall. He was the commander-in-chief, responsible for commanding the officials and controlling the overall situation. On both sides were a group of subordinates, including old men and those who had just surrendered.
At this time, Zhao Ming glanced at everyone, and everyone was sitting upright, looking at Zhao Ming with his head in the side.
"Everyone, now the commander commander is growing stronger and stronger, but his functions are very chaotic. Now the Japanese commander will give you a specific division for administrative operations!" Zhao Ming said, then looked at Ma Shiao and said, "Mr. Ma, you are a military commander, you can recruit staff, take charge of military training, select military officers, military ranks, and other weapons."
According to Zhao Ming's consciousness, Ma Shiao was in charge of a small army.
Ma Shiao was not surprised by this, but just clasped his fists and said, "I am humble and take the order!"
Zhao Ming then said to Chen Mingyu: "Mr. Chen, you are the magistrate of the garrison households and you also recruit staff to take charge of the garrison household registration, as well as all financial matters such as land, taxes, salary, etc."
Chen Mingyu stood up and saluted, "I accept the order with humble duty!"
Zhao Ming continued: "Chief Chen, Censor Feng, Dai, Xu, although you are not officials of the Zhejiang Commander Commander's Office, I have recommended you four to the court as the assistants of the Commander Commander's Office."
Chen Yujie, Feng Jingdi, Dai Zhijun, and Xu Fuyuan were all officials who had been enthroned by the court. Some of them were borrowed by Zhao Ming from King Lu, while others fought guerrillas in eastern Zhejiang and surrendered to Zhao Ming.
After hearing Zhao Ming's words, the four of them stood up and folded their fists, "Wei Zhi and others will thank Dashui for help."
Zhao Ming then said: "Chen Chief Chen is the assistant to the engineering department, in charge of weapons casting, managing craftsmen, mining, fortress building, and shipbuilding. Feng Jingshi was the assistant to the criminal department and was responsible for the trial of criminal cases in the households. Dai Huijian was the assistant to the ritual department, and was responsible for the management of sacrifices and establishment of official schools in various garrisons. Xu Huijian was the assistant to the official department, responsible for the management of civil servants and assessing officials!"
After hearing Zhao Ming's words, the four of them were a little unbelievable. After a moment of stunned silence, they saluted again, "I am not sure if you are the one who is here to take the order, Da Zheng, don't worry, we will do our best to do our duty and do the things that Da Zheng ordered!"
When Zhao Ming heard the words, he nodded with satisfaction. In this way, he turned the two co-prime masters and four assistant officials into a small six department, which was enough for administrative operation.
