"Actually..." Li Guoding whispered: "With Yuanqi's current financial resources and reputation, not only our Yuntiguan Office, but also the flag soldiers of the nearby Thousand Households are also hoping to come to join the army and earn salary. I dare not say that if there are too many, I am afraid it will be fine if I raise a battalion of soldiers, right?"

Wang Sanyi didn't say anything, but just looked at his son.

Before this, the father and son had guessed the number of soldiers Min Yuanqi was going to recruit.

Wang Mingyuan doesn't say bad things about Min Yuanqi now, but he turns to think that Min Yuanqi is quite ambitious and probably will take advantage of the situation this time to raise 10,000 or 20,000 troops.

There are 20,000 soldiers who can be the generals of a town. In this chaotic era, whether they are the generals who are protecting themselves, or participating in the competition among the heroes, or taking advantage of the situation to find a better way out in the future, it is a good opportunity.

Liu Qingze has not yet established a foothold, the news of Beijing is unknown, and Nanjing is in chaos... Shi Kefa will vow to Pukou on April 7, but the Ming officials ran out of the capital, including former Grand Secretary Jiang Dejing... Not only did the news of the fall of Beijing confirm, but the news of the emperor's death was also confirmed!

Nanjing is a city that leads filial piety, and of course the Northern Expedition has stopped. Shi Kefa's act of serving the king is a joke for outsiders, but those who understand it call him an expert.

This Donglin boss, the master of the soldier who was promoted and valued by the emperor, is probably no less than a military general like Liu Zeqing, Tang Tong and Wu Sangui in terms of avoiding the sloppy situation.

The talents among the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were actually almost exhausted. The Grand Secretary who asked the supervisor to escape and fled in the face of the battle asked the Chief Secretary who refused to take responsibility when he encountered any problems. The Grand Secretary who knelt at the gate of the city to surrender, and the senior officials of the Grand Secretary and the Ministry of the Ministry who were kneeling at the gate of the city to surrender. Shi Kefa just hesitated and did not go north in time. This was already considered to be a moral minister.

At this point, Emperor Chongzhen completely withdrew from the historical stage. The Ming Dynasty was tortured by him for 17 years and finally reached a turning point in history. However, at this time, many people, including Shi Kefa, were quite confused. How the overall situation would change, when will the bandits attack, and how the situation in the north will change, these things were also quite confused and even knew nothing about the officials in Nanjing.

The only thing that continues is the singing and dancing on the Qinhuai River. Those talented men and beautiful women will lament the emperor's misfortune and the misfortune of the Ming Dynasty, but they neither pay attention to or worry about how major events will evolve.

Anyway, it was amazing that the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, so what's the big deal?

The people in the Southeast were not owned by the Ming Dynasty as early as the Jiajing period.

There may be a small number of loyal ministers and filial sons crying, but they are a minority after all. Most people do not say that they are just a joke, but they are relatively indifferent. Whether the Ming emperor died for his country, whether the Ming Dynasty was destroyed or the country was saved, whether the Xin Dynasty was Li Zicheng or Zhang Xianzhong, most people do not understand or care about it.

It is precisely because of the actual situation in the south that before the shaving order was issued, the Qing army received the military operation in Jiangnan was more like an armed parade. The four words "subduing by looking at the wind" were quite appropriate at that time.

In other words, it is not unreasonable to lose all one's heart.

Under the shaving order, Jiangsu and Zhejiang began to resist first, and later the people who were killed were on the verge of killing, and then there were major cases such as the crying temple case to kill the officials and gentry members of Jiangnan who were not at all concerned about the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and insulted and ridiculed them in all kinds of ways, and they were killed and subdued, and since then they became the remains of the people. How could the word "sincere" be a "bad person"?

At this moment, many people's eyes, Min Yuanqi does have the capital and possibility to follow the trend. Although it is very small, if Min Yuanqi is intentional and uses financial resources to pull out a plate of 20,000 people. With Min Yuanqi's ability to lead troops and train troops, he will really train 20,000 strong soldiers, which will be the pattern of a strong vassal town.

Of course, Yundi Pass is a narrow place. If Min Yuanqi intends to do so, one person will be left between him and Liu Zeqing.

Hearing that Min Yuanqi had only planned to recruit 3,500 full members, Wang Mingyuan raised his eyebrows and whispered to Wang Sanyi: "That's how Min Deputy Qianhu is still afraid of Caozhou Liu."

"Say a few less words," Wang Sanyi cursed softly: "No one treats you as a mute!"

Wang Mingyuan was quite dissatisfied, and this was what he felt inside.

In fact, Wang Sanyi, Li Guoding and others were thinking the same as Wang Mingyuan.

After the Yang brothers were in trouble, according to rumors in Yancheng that Yang Shili immediately sent someone to surrender to Liu Zeqing. The messengers from both sides kept returning. The plates controlled by Yang Shili could earn at least 100,000 yuan for Liu Zeqing a year. Using this condition, I originally wanted to change a deputy general, and with the territory in Yancheng, Liu Zeqing thought that Yang Shili's opening was too high and the two sides did not agree.

After that, the Hefangshui Pass changed, and the battle between Shanghai and the Shanghai side destroyed most of Yang Shili's foundation. Now that he has been beaten to a cripple, Liu Zeqing will certainly not be able to issue a heavy loan. It is estimated that at most Yang Shili will be given a guard.

If Yang Shili is not tactful, he will probably have a way of wealth. If he is not tactful, Liu Zeqing's next option is to kill him.

Once the two sides have agreed, Liu Zeqing probably may take action against Yundiguan.

The reason for this recruitment was that Yundiguan seemed to be smooth sailing, but the actual situation was still quite critical.

At least it seems quite critical to Wang Sanyi and others.

The guest soldiers were powerful, and tens of thousands of Shandong soldiers turned to Huaian as soon as they arrived in Huaian. The original guards and a small number of city guard soldiers were useless at all. Huaian and the counties changed their ownership instantly, and Liu Zeqing was already a vassal state. Who can control him and who dares to control him?

If Liu Zeqing takes action against Yundiguan, everyone will feel that they can clean up the fine and soft things and run away.

When it comes to resistance, it actually depends on whether there is a backbone to support it.

If there is no backbone, a thousand guest soldiers will be able to get Yundi Pass here if they come.

If there is a backbone... Wang Sanyi, Li Guoding and others have privately discussed that if they are recruiting three or four thousand people, with Min Yuanqi's training ability and the mentality of protecting their relatives from being poisoned, it is still possible to carry tens of thousands of visitors.

Liu Zeqing could not use all his strength in the remote place of Yuntiguan. He had neither a lot of wealth nor a famous city and a wealthy town, nor had strategic significance. If there were thousands of people who could protect the place, if Min Yuanqi had the intention of being upward, with his wealth, he would have started at least tens of thousands of people.

"Soldiers are more important than elites, not more..." Min Yuanqi's reply was different from what Wang Sanyi and his son thought, and it was quite simple and clear.

Indeed, with the current standard of visiting troops, 400,000 silver per year is enough to support 30,000 soldiers. The shortcoming is that there is a gap in food, but it can also be solved through means such as military farming and grain collection.

If there are 30,000 real soldiers and horses, they will not eat the vacancy, and with the standards of the Nanming vassal states, Min Yuanqi's qualification is enough.

The disadvantage is that he has almost had military merits. For example, Liu Zeqing, who has the worst qualifications, was also a regular soldier general who was born in Shandong Town. He has been in the army for more than ten years. He started his career during the Dengzhou Rebellion. Liu Zeqing clung to a thick thigh and made considerable military merits. Then he survived from the army.

Min Yuanqi suffered a loss because his qualifications were too shallow, otherwise he would have obtained the position of general. With the enthusiasm of Nanming to be a marquis, he might have obtained the title of marquis.

Min Yuanqi was not interested in this road.

It is as bad as the warlords of the Southern Ming Dynasty, so what if he gets the position of Hou Bo?

Should we prepare to surrender to the Qing Dynasty as soon as possible, or to escape south to Zhejiang. Several generals from Zhejiang crossed and ran to Fujian? Zheng Zhilong surrendered and ran to Guangxi? Then we went to Guangdong, Yunnan and Guizhou?

Forget it.

Just stay at Yundiguan and keep your next plan safe and feel more at ease...

"There are 3,500 people, two complete thousand headquarters, command system and cavalry, all are enough." Min Yuanqi said in a deep voice: "It is only effective for soldiers to be good. In other places, 200,000 yuan of true colors plus 200,000 yuan of color can raise 30,000 to 40,000 yuan of soldiers. Here, the money and food are only enough to raise 30,000 yuan of soldiers."

Wang Sanyi nodded and said, "Yuan Qi is taking all the soldiers under his command as servants."

Min Yuanqi smiled and said, "Uncle Wang is not bad at all, that's the reason."

Min Yuanqi felt that what the people of this era were different from him was historical experience and summary, as well as the foresight brought by this powerful tool. In fact, the top elites of this era, after the analysis and summary of intelligence, the results summarized may not be much worse than what they know.

For example, Hong Chengchou, who was far away in Liaodong, was the only elite figure left among the civil officials of the Chongzhen era. He had a vision that was beyond the vast majority of people of the same era, and his skills were all first-class. Unfortunately, his bones were too soft and he was too cautious, and he had already been used by the enemy.

Even for these ordinary people in front of me, Min Yuanqi’s plan does not need to be explained too thoroughly. As long as they see and hear, they can probably deduce conclusions that are almost the same.

Of course, there is nothing that is too far from their understanding.

Min Yuanqi asked these people to come, but it was not to discuss military affairs. The composition of the two thousand headquarters, including the battalion command organization, had already had a detailed plan. He asked these people to come and ordered them to be assigned.

"Now the establishment of the Industrial and Commercial Department, the Yanchi and the workshop are all under the control of Zhu Wen. My second uncle is responsible for the Foreign Affairs Department. Then the Military Information Department is under Liang Shifa, the New Sponsor Training Department is under Gao Cuncheng, the Military Supply Department is under Yuan Jin, and the Military Affairs Department is under the control of the pension and resettlement of the dead and disabled soldiers, and Yang Zhijin is under the control of the Central Military Affairs Department. The Central Military Affairs Department is under the control of Yuan Zhong, and the Security Department is under the control of the guards of Hekou Tangxun, the patrols and security of the hundreds of households, and the villages. I want to leave this matter to Wang Baihu to manage. What is Wang Baihu's intention?"

In fact, it is quite easy to find someone who can manage the security department from Min Yuanqi's pocket. After all, it is just a daily garrison, catching thieves, and punishing rogues who make trouble. This is relatively simple. Originally, Min Yuanqi wanted to hand it over to Min Qiande and give the Min family another wave of reputation.

However, Min Qiande has been unable to escape recently. In addition, he has been in charge of Qianhu for a long time and is familiar with people outside and has more face than Baihu. Min Yuanqi had to hand over the foreign affairs to his clan uncle, take out the security department, and hand it over to Wang Sanyi.

Among the many households now, several of them have disagree with Min Yuanqi, either resigned or pretended to be dead or sick. Anyway, they themselves know that it will be a matter of time before they can leave their jobs.

Isn’t it easy to get Min Yuanqi to join the commander, the co-guild, or directly serve as the commander, and to control the few small households in this remote village?

Even if Min Yuanqi sent troops to slaughter those goods, who would stand up for them at this time?
