In the schoolyard outside Suzhou City, flags were flying, and tens of thousands of Wu and Yue soldiers were arranged in a square formation.

The soldiers of the Five Army fought the Five Colored Flags. The Left Army was a green flag with five thousand people. They were arranged in the east of Gaotai. The Right Army fought the White Flags. There were five thousand people. They were arranged in the west of Gaotai. The Front Army fought the Red Flags. There were five thousand people. They were arranged in the south of Gaotai. The Back Army fought the Black Flags. There were five thousand people. They arranged in the north of Gaotai. The Central Army fought the Yellow Flags. There were ten thousand people who guarded the Gaotai.

In addition, there were several county soldiers lined up on the periphery, with soldiers carrying huge horns and powerful men standing in front of the drum with hammers, with their soldiers powerful.

At this time, under the high platform, nearly a hundred novices raised their heads and sounded the trumpet, and the drummer rushed to beat the war drum.

The exciting horn and the moving war drum were thrilling and shocking, which made all the soldiers excited.

Zhao Ming climbed up to the platform and looked down at the soldiers and generals on the school field, and felt a sense of pride in his heart.

If you have a gun, you will be the King of Grass Heads. This sentence is not false at all. If Zhao Ming had no soldiers and power, the court would not have given him the title of King of Wu Yue.

Now Zhao Ming controls Jiangsu and Zhejiang and becomes a prince. In order to maintain his own strength, a strong army is indispensable.

Previously, Zhao Ming had less than 100,000 troops. Now after accepting the Zhejiang Army and the defeated troops in Jiangbei, Zhao Ming selected them, and the total force had exceeded 200,000.

The Wu and Yue states established vassals, and their troops doubled.

This is a doubled force for Zhao Ming, while for the debate government, it will face huge logistical pressure. However, since it is incorporated, it must unify the armor and flags, and no longer wear the previous outfits.

Although they were all Ming troops, there were actually great differences in clothing and armor because they were subordinate to different forces, especially the Zhejiang army, and the clothing and armor of almost every town of soldiers and horses were different.

Now with the expansion of territory, the components of Zhao Ming's subordinates have begun to be a little complicated. The reason why Zhao Ming wanted to establish a military command system was to unify internal personnel, and the unity of military command was the first thing to do was to unify military uniforms and flags.

Zhao Ming then ordered the government to buy clothes and armor for the recruited personnel.

However, in ancient times, armor was manufactured very slowly. A pair of good armor was also manufactured for a long time by experienced craftsmen.

Zhao Ming wanted 100,000 people to change his clothes, and the government would not be able to do so in a short time.

In view of the fact that a large number of firearms, as well as flintlock rifles and line infantry have appeared among all forces.

Zhao Ming then suggested that the military officers and the military officers should design new styles of cloth armor and military caps, and that Huaxing Company should produce them.

There were textile workshops throughout Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and there were soldiers workshops. Three squads rushed day and night, sewing more than 30,000 sets of military uniforms and coats, as well as military caps, used to equip the soldiers of the Five Armies who participated in the military formation ceremony. As for the county soldiers, they wore their original clothes and armor to participate in the ceremony.

The soldiers of the Five Army were wearing new military uniforms, wearing a military coat that was over the knee on the outside, wearing horse boots on their feet, a large-brimmed hat on their heads, and a washer inside the hat was supported by iron wire rings. The ridge of the hat was made of leather, making them extremely energetic.

Below the high platform, the soldiers of the Five Army were neatly uniformed, with brand new flintlock rifles and shining bayonets emitting waves of shock.

"That's how you look, you're really a mighty teacher!" Chen Zilong praised.

Tang Tong: "This new armor looks really shocking, but its defense is obviously not as good as the Mandarin Duck Battle Jacket!"

Wang Yi nodded, "This batch of military uniforms does not have much defensive power, but they are better at making them fast and cost low."

Ruan Mei said: "Since the large-scale equipment of flintlock rifles, the training and tactics of the army have undergone tremendous changes. In the past, it took one or two years to train a sword and shield and spearman, and it also took more than a year to train a sword and shield player. But now, a flintlock rifle can only be trained to create a strong army within three months. To put it brutal, the current style of fighting has changed. The speed of making armor must also catch up with the speed of the army being brought into the battlefield."

Ruan Mei has been in the rear for a long time, and her idea is different from that of the front-line generals. However, after he said this, the generals felt something more or less in their hearts, and they felt something was right.

"Quiet, it's about to start!" Just as everyone was talking, Dai Zhijun, the judge of the Li Cao, said in a deep voice.

During the recent discussion, the government decided to expand the army, increase the number of troops of the five Shence armies to 30,000, and set up the Marshal's Office, the Military Office and other yamen to manage and command the army.

Throughout history, everything has developed too fast, has unstable foundations, and has taken the lead, and has basically no good ending, but it is just a wedding dress for others.

From Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Gengshi, Red Eyebrow, Yellow Turban, Yuan Shao, to Yang Xuangan, Wagang, to Li Zicheng, and Zhang Xianzhong, all this is the case.

Zhao Ming did not want to repeat the same mistakes, so he did not blindly expand after occupying Zhejiang and Zhenjiang waiting areas.

This time, Zhao Ming held a ceremony to go to the altar to worship generals and award numbers, and his eyes consolidated the cohesion of the army, increased the sense of identity and pride of generals and soldiers towards Wu Yuefan, and achieved the purpose of consolidating control over the army.

At this time, the soldiers of each army formed a formation, and worshiped the generals, with colorful sheds on the altar, with red flags waving on both sides. One of them was a black dragon flag on the red background. On the left side of the flag, the four big characters "Ming Dynasty's vassal state" were written, which was the national flag of the Wu and Yue Kingdom.

Under the banner, more than a dozen flag guards were erected, with handguns inserted between their waists and flintlock muskets on their shoulders, majestic and arrogant.

Zhao Ming was wearing a big dress, a topper, a commanding knife hung on his gold belt, a shiny horse boots, and a spotless white gloves, and a very stylish look, as if he was traveling through time.

Not to mention, although this dress is not as good as the armor, it is very heroic, which makes many generals envious and think about when they can do one.

The general worship ceremony was presided over by the military officer Gu Yanwu. He also wore a new military uniform today, and his sword was straight and his sword was firm. He cleared his throat and stood up and said, "Today is the day when the five armies of our Wuyue Kingdom will become an army, and the responsibility of our Wuyue army is to expel the Tartars and protect the country and the people..."

Gu Yanwu talked endlessly on stage, and after a while, he changed his mind: "Please give the lord the vassal to arrange positions for the generals and give them a flag!"

The soldiers standing below the stage immediately put their legs together, and everyone stared at Zhao Ming with eager eyes.

Everyone followed Zhao Ming for many years, and in order to resist the Qing Dynasty, they also wanted to get promoted and make money.

Although Zhao Ming had appointed some positions before, none of them were formally appointed, and many of them were not recognized by the court. Now that the Wu Yue Kingdom was established, it is true today.

Zhao Ming walked to the front of the stage, waved his hand handsomely in white gloves, and then said loudly: "Wang Yi, I have been with Gu for many years and have been good at military achievements. Gu appointed you as the governor of the Central Army, and your troops under your command, and the Central Camp Army!"

Wang Yi was overjoyed and happily went to the stage to accept the letter of appointment. This was a roll of yellow silk with military positions written on it, and the signature was Zhao Ming, which was covered with the seal of King Wu and Yue. At the same time, Wang Yi also took over a yellow dragon military flag from Zhao Ming.

The people below were talking a lot. Wang Yi was not the earliest person to follow Zhao Ming. He was appointed as the governor of the Central Camp, which was a bit surprising. Many old camp generals all looked dark.

Zhao Ming continued: "Ruan Mei, you followed Gu earlier than Wang Yi. Gu appointed you as the governor of the Hou Army and in charge of the Hougang Army."

Li Zhongming and Wang Deshun Zhe were in Jiangbei. The old camp people were represented by Ruan Mei, but Ruan Mei had a logistics background and limited ability, so she could only become the governor of the rear camp.

Ruan Mei immediately stepped forward to salute, took the letter of appointment and military flag, and then stood aside.

Zhao Ming continued: "Xie Qian, independently supporting the situation in Liaodong, and the Gu Wang appointed him as the governor of the former camp. Now Xie Qian is still in Lushun. Chen Youlong, the deputy general of the former camp, stepped forward to receive the flag! Li Benshen, the deputy general of the Right Camp, also came up to receive the flag!"

Xie Qian was in Liaodong and the people did not come back. The Right Camp asked the deputy general to take over the flag, so there was no candidate for the governor.

Next, Zhao Ming appointed several deputy generals. Tang Tong was a little anxious from the audience. Many subordinates around him were like ants on a hot pan.

At this time, Zhao Ming looked at Tang Tong, "The governor of the Zuoying Army, Tang Tong is appointed by him..."

As soon as these words were said, a general around Tang Tong suddenly cheered. Most of them were generals who came over anyway. When they saw Tang Tong being appointed as the governor, they hurriedly congratulated them, and the future that was not elected in the distance was angry and looked at each other.

Tang Tong was also happy. Amid a burst of cheers, Tang Tong bowed his hands around and walked onto the stage with a hearty smile, saluting Zhao Ming, "I thank Your Highness for your cultivation!"

Zhao Ming smiled and said, "Governor Tang, you will be in charge of the left army from now on!"
