When Zeng Shengwu learned that Zhang Weixian was going to stay in the northwest, the expression on Zeng Shengwu's face relaxed. He looked at Zhang Weixian and Zeng Shengwu pondered for a moment and said, "I am going to report the number of soldiers recruited to the court first."

"How much does Lord Zeng think fit?" Zhang Weixian looked at Zeng Shengwu and asked.

Zeng Shengwu thought about it and said, "It's almost the same for fifty thousand people!"

Zhang Weixian was a little unanimous about the 50,000 people Zeng Shengwu said. Zhang Weixian knew more than Zeng Shengwu. Because before he left Beijing, the Jingying was already reorganized, so I won’t talk about recruiting soldiers. This time, the Jingying mainly changed the military system.

According to the emperor, it is that the army's combat cannot be fought as before, relying on the number of people to charge.

The person who presided over this restructuring was Dingbei Hou Qi Jiguang. According to his Chen Jue, the number of people in a legion was 36,000, which is a car camp. There were many troops divided in the middle, and they also paid more attention to cooperation.

Let’s not talk about the others. The number of artillery equipment alone is enough to make Zhang Weixian amazed.

In this case, I asked me to leave 50,000 people, and the possibility of the emperor agreeing is not very high.

You should know that the court has nine borders. If the food and military supplies are spent in Datong every year reach 2 million taels, how much does the entire nine border? How much does the Beijing camp cost? How much does the southwest? Even if officials and gentry pay the food together, the court cannot afford so many soldiers!

However, Zhang Weixian was not going to say anything to Zeng Shengwu on this issue. It would be better to report more and leave room for His Majesty to cut off.

"Mr. Zeng was considerate!" Zhang Weixian said with a smile: "It was just that the number of people was reduced to 50,000. The city defense of Datong Prefecture will be re-arranged. Mr. Zeng is afraid he will be tired!"

"It's not a matter of fatigue to share the country's worries!" Zeng Shengwu said seriously.

News about Datong Town these days spread very quickly, and it was the wool spinning mill to buy land. According to people familiar with the matter, the money for the wool spinning mill to buy land from the Governor's Office reached 80 taels of silver per mu.

The Governor's Office sold 440,000 taels of land and 5,000 acres of barren mountains, which was absolutely a big deal.

Another news is that the wool mill has begun to recruit male workers. Not only does it take care of food every day, but it also has thirty copper coins. For a time, countless people flocked to it, most of them were liberated military households.

The entire South Canal has become a construction site, and countless construction materials are transported here, and they are busy.

On the grassland, the various Oirat tribes were also busy shearing wool. It started to snow, and the excess sheep had to be slaughtered for the winter. This is the tradition of every year. But this year is different. Everyone saves the wool and prepares to go to Datong to change things.

Guihua City.

The third lady sat on the chair, leaning against the fire in the charcoal basin, glanced at her younger brother Mo Rigen beside her, and said, "The news has been spread from Datongwei, let us prepare the wool as soon as possible."

"I have almost prepared it, and the first batch will be ready in a few days." Mo Rigen nodded and said.

Although Mo Rigen is also ambitious, both him, the third lady, or the others in Ola knew one thing in his heart, that is, Ola is now powerless to challenge the Ming Dynasty and cannot win.

The third lady nodded: "You go there in person for the first batch, don't let them make trouble there."

Mo Rigen nodded: "I must make arrangements, there will be no problems."

"Is there any news about Huang Taiji?" The third lady was still very concerned about this issue. After all, Huang Taiji was not dead, and she was not sure.

"Yes!" Mo Rigen nodded: "The news came from the east, Huang Taiji settled in Chahar. Buyan Chechen took in Huang Taiji and gave him a small tribe. Now he is following Buyan Chechen."

After pondering for a moment, the third lady said helplessly: "Buyanchechen's mind to unify the grassland is undead!"

Mo Rigen was silent. Of course, he knew that Bu Yanchechen's intention to unify the grassland was unsuccessful, and his intention to take Huang Taiji was also obvious. Sooner or later, Bu Yanchechen would have to call him, and things would be in trouble then.

"Chahar and Neikalkha are unfair, and Buyanchechen will not call him."

I don’t know if Mo Rigen’s words were comforting himself or his sister.

The third lady didn't care much, so she waved her hand and said, "Korqin is a fox of the grassland. They are very treacherous. It is impossible for Buyanchechen to lead them. As for Neikalkha, we have long disliked Buyanchechen."

"But the most important thing is to strengthen yourself. You can't wait for others to become weak."

In fact, what the third lady was more worried about was the Ming Dynasty. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty made her feel very uneasy. Although the young emperor was not old, his eyes were extremely aggressive. When he was stared at him, the feeling of making people want to surrender was very uncomfortable.

Instead of worrying that Bu Yanchechen will call him, it is better to worry that Daming will call him.

"I heard that Datong is changing the military system." Mo Rigen thought for a while and said again: "Their original military households were abolished and all the land was distributed to those military households. In the future, the soldiers of Datong Prefecture adopted the recruitment system."

Recruitment system?

Of course, the third lady knew what the recruiting system was. When the Ming Dynasty and Ola had a good relationship, she followed Altan Khan to Datong and knew the difference. She was indeed not wrong. The young emperor was very arrogant!

"I personally pressed the wool to Datong!" The third lady thought about it and made such a decision.

The third lady wanted to go and see it in person. Before Mo Rigen could speak, the third lady said first: "The recruitment system, do you know what I think of? It is the Qi family army, the most famous recruitment in the Ming Dynasty."

"The general of Datong is called Ma Lu. He is an amazing person. If he recruits troops, maybe soon after, Datong will have a Ma family army. I want to go and see it myself, otherwise I will not feel at ease."

Mo Rigen said disrespectfully: "Fortunately Ma Fang died, otherwise it would be the Ma family army?"

"There is indeed someone who can fight the Ming Dynasty, but only Qi Jiguang is the only one, and no one else can be considered."

The third lady knew that his brother could not change his ideas for a while, so she didn't say much. As a woman who had been very good at having sex with Xu Wenchang and Wu Dui, the third lady knew the Ming Dynasty better than everyone else.

Both recruiting soldiers and military households are Ming army, but they are definitely two types of Ming army.

Compared to military households, recruiting soldiers is really good at fighting. The third lady clearly gave the famous reward of the Qi family army. One head is forty taels, let alone others, even the third lady wanted to chop off her head when she heard it.

This time, when he beat Huang Taiji, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty fulfilled his promise. It is said that the head of the person alone was 2 million taels.

If I hadn't come to Beijing to pay my respects, the Ming army in Datong Prefecture would have rushed out long ago. In the past, it was the people on my side who had fought against Caogu, but in the future, the Ming army would have beaten people. They would have chopped two people in one trip and made a new shortcut to make a fortune.

No one dares to underestimate the power of money, especially for the poor at the bottom.

"The end of Datong is Xuanfu, and the end of Xuanfu is Yulin. One by one, it will be changed. It will probably take not long before the Ming army will be out of the frontier." The third lady reminded herself in her heart, and at the same time she was determined to go and take a look.

Spending so much money to raise soldiers is definitely not a decoration!

Datong, the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Li Zhongxing has been very busy these days, and he can describe it by hitting his feet on the back of his head. Although it is winter, it is impossible to build a house, but it is possible to level the land, quarrying and preparing wood.

When making looms, you also have to organize a fleet to transport things. How can you not be busy?

The first batch of wool in the Wala side is about to arrive, and the warehouse construction is under construction. Although the textile factory may not be built, every company is thinking about starting construction before the New Year and is ready to wear the first batch of wool coats during the New Year.

It is certain that wool coats are not easy to sell in summer, but they must be easy to sell in winter.

Whoever can make it early can sell it one day earlier, but don’t underestimate the fact that it is a great thing. For this purpose, both Shanxi merchants and nobles are very busy.

"Sir, news is coming from the Ola!" A figure ran in from outside and said loudly.

Li Zhongxing raised his head and asked, "What news?"

"The first batch of wool has been shipped and will be shipped soon. The other third lady has also come in person this time." The subordinate said hurriedly.

The third lady wants to come in person?

Li Zhongxing smiled bitterly, but he knew that he could not stop such a thing, so he could not let the third lady come? He didn't have the power or the courage. After thinking about it, Li Zhongxing asked, "Does the Governor's Office know?"

"I understand!" the subordinate nodded and said, "The news came from the Governor's Mansion."

Li Zhongxing then breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, then there's nothing we can do."

Capital City, Wenhua Hall.

Zhu Yijun walked out of Wenhua Hall and stood on the porch, looking at the snowflakes outside, wearing a wool coat, and his face was a little calm. Although the weather has been very cold since the beginning of winter, the snow has not fallen much.

Today, God seemed to be happy, and finally it snowed, and it was never finished.

Compared to snow, Zhu Yijun likes rain more, but it is good, at least not drought. Today is the third day of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year is about to be celebrated. Zhu Yijun has to sigh that time has passed, and a year is about to pass again in a blink of an eye.

I am about to enter the 16th year when I come to this era, and many things are about to change.

Some things I have participated in, some things I have not participated in, some are beyond my reach, and some are deliberately ignored. For example, in Liaodong, there is probably someone who is deliberately strengthening himself.

He should be planning how to defeat his opponents. Maybe he has already defeated a few of them, and he will soon unify the Jianzhou Jurchens. By then, a large force will rise in Liaodong, which is an interesting thing.
