On that day, officials, gentry and merchants in Huangzhou Prefecture jointly held a grand reward banquet to celebrate the triumphal of the Nine-Headed Bird.△↗, the banquet was very lively, and everyone wanted to get some connection with the newly-private Zhennan Hou, but Liu Jun stayed with the generals of the Nine-Headed Bird at the banquet and did not give them this opportunity.

The garrison of Macheng Zhang Shan had already rushed from Macheng to Huangzhou Prefecture to welcome the Hou Liu Jun. Last time he stayed at the scene, so he was promoted to the garrison. At that time, he was still happy and was promoted to the garrison and commanded a battalion alone. But before a month had passed, the brothers entering Sichuan were killing all over the world and reported successive news. Wang Qian, who was still under him, has now been promoted to the deputy general of Huangzhou and deputy generals with his military merits. He is even more guerrilla and gang generals than his garrison.

Liu Jun also saw that Zhang Shan kept laughing a little reluctantly after seeing him. The brothers all wanted to be promoted. This is normal and a good thing, which shows that everyone is enterprising.

"How are your battalion soldiers practicing?" Liu Jun asked with a smile.

"It's a bit like it, there are too few old brothers." Zhang Shan said reluctantly. Although he was practicing Macheng garrison camp completely according to Liu Jun's training method, the effect was still not as good as the original results of the Nine-Headed Bird. Liu Jun smiled, and he had expected this situation. Training seems simple, but it is not simple. The garrison camp is slow. One of the most important points is that the garrison camp is just practicing hard in the camp and has not experienced actual combat.

"Hurryness means not being able to achieve it. Don't be too hasty, take it slowly." Liu Jun patted the sworn brother's shoulder and said, "I have recommended to Your Majesty that you are the lieutenant general of Xiajiang Road, Yunyang Town, to Qizhou."

Although the generals also commanded the first battalion of 3,000 troops, he was divided into defense areas of the entire Xiajiang Road, and the Hanyang garrison was also under his command.

"Where is the Macheng Garrison Camp?"

"Straightly upgraded to the reinforcement camp of Xiajiang gang generals."

"Will I be under Wang Qian's jurisdiction in the future?"

Liu Jun nodded. The former generals of the Ming army, deputy generals and guerrilla generals at all levels, were actually relatively independent and had no direct relationship between superiors and subordinates. Especially between the deputy generals of the sub-guards, the generals of the sub-guards and the generals, each had a division of jurisdiction. However, in recent years, the generals gradually gained the right to govern the deputy generals of the town, generals and other generals.

However, the deputy general of the Division and the deputy general of the Division and the general of the Division are still relatively independent. They are both under the command of the general, but the deputy general cannot directly command the general. In terms of reasoning, the general of the participating countries cannot directly command the general. But it is not absolute. Especially now, the specific operation depends on the specific situation. If the general of the participating countries is stronger, the deputy general can be ignored. Similarly, if the deputy general is stronger, the general of the participating countries must obey the order.

"From the beginning of our establishment, our Jiutou Bird Camp has been under the clear order and clear from the upper and lower levels. I am the general, in charge of the entire town, with two deputy generals below, two deputy generals, four lieutenants, six garrisons, and two battalions of guerrillas. You are the gang generals of Xiajiang, and both are under the jurisdiction of the gang generals of the right Huangzhou generals." Liu Jun said it very clearly and knew that Zhang Shan had always been above Wang Qian. Now he has been under the jurisdiction of him, so he must have some ideas in his heart. But he must kill Zhang Shan's idea now.

The nine-headed bird must not have such a situation where the order is not met.

"Can you understand?"

Zhang Shan nodded, "I understand."

"You and Wang Qian are my sworn brothers, and Cai Yuan and others. We were the thirteenth brothers at the time, and now we are all in the army. I hope we can be brothers and not jealous of each other."

"Think about three months ago, we were just ordinary people. But now, I have to be appointed as the general. You are also either the deputy general or the general, or at least the guerrilla general. Think about it, do you dare to imagine three months ago? Take a longer-term vision!" Liu Jun comforted.

Zhang Shan thought about it. It was true. If someone said three months ago that he would become a general in three months, he would never believe it or believe it, but now he has become a general in charge. After thinking about it this way, the little unhappiness in his heart immediately disappeared.

"What my brother taught me is that I was dizzy for a moment."

"I won't talk about this anymore." Liu Jun pulled Zhang Shan aside, "How is the situation at home now?"

"Everything is good in the Hutoubao Workshop. Zhao Shun manages the workshop very well. He manages the workshop in an orderly manner according to the reward system you set at the beginning. He rewards many craftsmen. Now the production capacity of the workshop has increased a lot, including the artillery workshop, the Feilong Gun Floor, the Bird Gun Floor, the Gunpowder Floor, the Lead Bullet Floor and the Fixed Equipment Floor Floor Floor." When talking about the workshop, Zhang Shan was very amazed at Zhao Shun's ability.

Liu Jun has always been watching the workshop. He knew that Zhao Shun strictly abides by the reward plan he launched at the time, and rewards those craftsmen who can come up with process improvements and even new ideas. Now the workshop has improved several important processes, greatly increasing its production capacity.

For example, the most troublesome process of producing muskets was drilled. Initially, one drilled a barrel in a month, but later, through improving the process and using three shifts to produce, one drilled in five days. Now, the drilling machine has been launched in the drilling workshop, and oil is used to cool down and cool down, and a hydraulic drilling machine can drill a barrel in two hours. The drilling pipe link that once restricted the production of muskets is no longer restricted to production.

In addition, there is a lead bullet workshop. A craftsman proposed a new production method, established a long sloped water channel, then connected the hot water from above and leaked the melted lead liquid into the hot water long channel through a sieve. The lead liquid is slowly cooled into the water, and then rolled in the hot water channel, it will become an extremely standard round lead bullet.

Finally, after only a simple grinding process, standardized lead bullets can be made in large batches. Compared to the past, it is almost hand-made with lead molds, which is both faster and better.

The production of the Gunfang and Cannon Floor is very smooth. Now the monthly production capacity of Feilong Cannon Floor has reached 10,000 units. As long as the raw materials are supplied, the Gunfang will continue to produce and assemble new guns.

"I feel relieved on the workshop. Last time I told you how the situation of investigating private salt was going?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Shan frowned, "Last time, my brother released the news of private salt investigation, which was effective. Several private salt vendors came to give gifts and then calmed down. But there were still many, and they ignored us at all. I took my brothers to check carefully, and then took a few dens. But the ones that were taken off were just small dens, those slightly larger salt vendors. They were very keen. Every time I wanted to do it, they would be prepared for it."

"These people are seeking death. This time, let's take action with him first. Go back and summarize the situation of those people and give me a detailed report."

Needless to say, Liu Jun also knew that these salt vendors must be big-name tyrants in those places. They had completely ignored Zhang Shan's garrison before. But now Liu Jun is the emperor's newly appointed Marquis of Zhennan and the general of Yunyang. Not to mention that he has the cheap orders that the emperor raised for him, and he also has a Shangfang sword in his hand.

No matter how arrogant or arrogant the local tyrants are, in Liu Jun's eyes, they are just some fat pigs, just killing them to get the meat.

After returning to Macheng in Jiutouzhao Camp, Liu Jun gave them ten days off to let them return home in glory. At the same time, he also asked these newly promoted military officers to recruit some new recruits from their hometowns. According to Liu Jun, you are a new general manager. Then you recruit a thousand people to come back. If you are a general manager, you recruit 500 people to come back. If you are a general manager, you recruit 100 people to come back. In short, as long as you are a strong young man with good conditions, of course, the more the better.

Anyway, these soldiers are not just able to join the Nine-Headed Bird when they are recruited. When they are recruited, they can only be considered candidates. In the end, they have to pass the unified recruitment assessment. Only those who pass the qualifications will be admitted to the best.

After everyone had a vacation, Liu Jun also rushed from Fucheng to his home in Xiwan, Macheng.

While Liu Jun rushed back to Macheng's home, many people in Huguang could not sit still. The first thing they could not sit still was the soldiers in Yunyang Town. Although Liu Jun always believed that Yunyang had no soldiers, in fact, Yunyang still had soldiers. Yunyang Town had 13,000 soldiers and 2,000 horses. These were the numbers on the military list. The court paid more than 200,000 taels of silver for this 3,000 people in Yunyang Town every year.

Now, the court promoted Yunyang to Yizhong Town, and Liu Jun was appointed as the general officer. This was a good thing, but as soon as Liu Jun took office, all his actions had already revealed a very bad information. The Nanhou of Xinfeng Town actually planned to abolish all the original Yunyang troops, and then mainly based on his Nine-Headed Bird Camp, recruit new recruits and establish the Yunyang New Army.

As soon as the news came out, the officers and soldiers in Yunyang were in a big uproar, especially those generals who led the troops. Liu Jun was destroying their jobs.

Several guerrillas, guards, and the thousand generals quickly gathered together to discuss the solutions of secret discussions.

"Liu Jun is not kind!"

"We can't just watch him lay off all of us. Ten thousand brothers, and they will all be sucked by the northwest wind!" a garrison shouted. Yunyang officers and soldiers had 13,000 horses and 2,000 horses, but in fact, this soldier had already been ruined, with 13,000 men and 2,000 horses, but they were all numbers on the list.

The real situation is that a guerrilla battalion originally had 3,000 people, but in fact there were only 2,000 people. One thousand people were only on the list, which was the empty salary that the guerrilla general had been consuming. Among the remaining two thousand people, only two hundred clans could fight. The 1,000 empty quota was used to support these 200 clans, and the remaining 1,08 clans were deducted layer by layer, with simple weapons and low combat power. The other garrisons were basically the same. Among the four empty quota, only one hundred clans could fight.

During this bandit suppression, they followed Yang Sichang to fight, but they were defeated first in Dachang and then in Hanzhong, which caused losses to lose their troops. The officers finally gathered the defeated soldiers and returned to Yunyang, but they heard that Liu Jun was about to lay off all of them.

These officers were more useless in fighting, but they all regarded leading troops as a profitable business. They made money by consuming empty amounts and deducting military pay. If Liu Jun sanctioned their ranks, what else would they make money?

Cutting off people's wealth will be even more angering than killing parents!

A thousand general said in a silence, "Liu Jun can slaughter us, but the court owed us more than four months of food and salary, which is nearly 100,000 taels of silver. As long as Liu Jun can pay the 100,000 taels of silver now, we will let him carry it."

Another guard continued, "100,000 taels are not enough. We have killed and injured many brothers for the imperial court this time. We must ask for this pension. In addition, if Liu Jun wants to lay off us, he must give us some severance expenses, not much. The pension and severance expenses will be added together to give a 100,000 taels."

"Yes, that's it. Let's ask Liu Jun for the 200,000 taels of silver. If you can't take out the silver, don't try to dismiss us!"
Chapter completed!
