The method proposed by the local tycoon king to select military household leaders through examination is actually a very effective organizational method!

In order to organize the rogue soldiers and their families, who are likely to number more than 100,000, into pioneering groups that are both capable of fighting and able to obey orders, it is necessary to select a group of capable cadres. And these cadres must be able to obey orders.

The public must be appointed from the top down, and the best way is of course to take an exam!

Otherwise, what else can we do? Let the people below choose their own people? This is not possible. Not long ago, they were enemies of the Ming Dynasty, and they would not be willing to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty so soon. If they were allowed to choose their own people, most of them would be

An unconvinced and dangerous person.

It would not work if the officers of the New Army and the Guards of the Ming Dynasty, who were in charge of them, appointed the grassroots officials of hundreds of households. This would not be able to convince the public. Once the New Army and the Guards left, it would be difficult for these officials of hundreds of households to exercise their power.

Therefore, using a seemingly fair examination to select hundreds of officials is undoubtedly the best option.

However, it is not easy to organize these "United States Examinations". The emperor Zhu Cihong did not play a guiding role, but handed over the "United States Examinations" to Zhu Hexing, the two brothers Zhu Hehao and them

My wife went to apply for it.

It was up to the five young men to decide how they wanted to take the exam and what kind of exam they wanted to get. Zhu Cihong just gave the "United States Examination" a very auspicious name. It was not called "Imperial Examination" but "TOEFL"

"Test" - all thanks to the exam, what a good name!

"The rogue bandits have exhausted the Sichuan people's wealth and anointing over the years, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers they have raised are very good, brave, simple, and capable of civility and martial arts. Especially the young people from the soldiers' families, both men and women, have studied and practiced.

He has mastered martial arts, is proficient in military strategy, and knows how to obey military discipline. We will recruit a group of hundred households and deputy hundred households from them..."

Zhu Hehao gently turned the tea bowl in his hand and said thoughtfully: "Because the number of surrendered bandit soldiers is more female than male, and most of the women among the soldiers can also fight, so this TOEFL test can be divided into male tests.

After high school, boys become a hundred households and trial hundred households, and girls after high school, they become deputy hundred households. The deputy hundred households can assist the hundred households in managing the women in the hundred households, what do you think?"

"Brother local tycoon," Zhu Hexing frowned slightly, "You want women to be officials of the United States? Is it really possible? Can they take care of things?"

Zhu Hehao glanced at Ding Yuying who was next to Zhu Hexing, and said to himself: Brother Luck, you are almost letting a woman take charge of things, and you still say that women can't take care of things?

Of course, these words cannot be said so directly. Zhu Hehao smiled and said: "The Hundred Household Officials, the Test Hundred Household Officials, and the Deputy Hundred Household Officials are not real officials, but the leaders of the Colonial Development Group. They are now selected.

In the future, they will have to nominate themselves.

The Colonial Development Corps had to take care of many things, not only men's affairs, but also women's affairs. Men and women had to be organized so that everyone could work and fight, so that they could stand in the stone mountains of the United States.

Keep your footing."

After signing a peace treaty with the Kingdom of New Spain, the southern border of the United States of New Zealand was temporarily determined and entered a relatively stable period. However, the Gulf of America is relatively cold to the north, making it difficult to find a suitable place for settlement.

Therefore, the expansion direction of the United States of New Zealand turned eastward and began to expand towards Stone Mountain, which is what Westerners call the Rocky Mountains.

The Stone Mountains are very vast and not very steep. They are accessible everywhere. The northern part of the mountains is relatively humid and has many habitable valleys and river valleys. Some of these valleys and river valleys belong to Indian tribes, while others are uninhabited.

If the United States wants to occupy all these territories, it will need hundreds of armed pioneer groups - the immigrants who migrated from the southeastern region of the Ming Dynasty have little fighting ability, and are not willing to go to places where gold is difficult to find and there are not many new continents.

They settled in the valleys and river valleys where mink could be caught. Although the land there was quite good, in the Republic of Xinzhou, there was a lot of food and they could not be sold for much money.

Therefore, the "economic immigrants" who are full of dreams of gold and mink are not willing to go deep into the stone mountains. They are all willing to stay in the coastal areas of America and California.

But for Zhu Hehao, the king of the United States, how big his country is and whether it has sufficient strategic depth all depend on the pace of marching into the Stone Mountains. That is, it depends on how many combat-effective and well-organized troops can be established.

Colonial pioneering group!

"Your Majesty, most of the Sichuan state capitals west of the Jialing River have been recovered, leaving only the former Sichuan Xingdu District, Mahu Prefecture, Wumeng Prefecture, Dongchuan Prefecture, Wusa Prefecture, Lizhou Anping District, and Tianquan Sixth Division.

In the areas under the jurisdiction of the Recruitment Division, Yazhou and Jiading Prefectures have not yet been restored... In addition, according to a report from the Governor-General of Sichuan and Shaanxi Province, there are still many prefectures and county castles in Chengdu Prefecture that are occupied by the remnants of the rogue bandits, and it will be difficult to recover them for a while."

"Your Majesty, according to detailed reports, an incident occurred in the rogue and puppet dynasty at the end of the 20th year of Hongxing. The rogue and puppet prince Li Jicheng launched a mutiny with the support of the soldiers of the Long March, seized the position of the puppet emperor, deposed his father Li Laiheng, and

It was changed to Nanping in the Yuan Dynasty, and also changed the name of Myanmar Shalian to Haidu Prefecture, which seems to have the intention of traveling to Myanmar!"

While the Prince of Good Luck, the Tuhao King and others were discussing how to organize the "TOEFL test", Zhu Cixiang was in Chaotian Palace listening to the reports of Wu Guoyong, the military advisor of Fu, and Li Yan, the minister of the Ministry of War.

The news sent to Chongqing Prefecture in the first month of the 21st year of Hongxing's reign was mixed. The good news was that most of Sichuan had been recovered. The bad news was that there were still many remnants of rogue bandits entrenched throughout Chengdu Prefecture, and they also occupied many strong fortresses.

In addition, there is another piece of news that is not known to be good or bad at the moment - the Dashun Dongxing Emperor Li Laiheng was ousted from power by his son Li Jicheng. And the newly elected Li Jicheng pretended to flee to Myanmar...

However, Zhu Cixiang's current thoughts are not in Yunnan, Myanmar, or even the Li Dingguo and Ainengqi tribes that occupy northwest Sichuan and eastern Uzang. Instead, they are in the west of Sichuan Province, or more accurately, half of Sichuan Province west of the Jialing River.

The half of Sichuan Province west of the Jialing River fell into the hands of the Ming army roughly after Li Laiheng was driven out of Chongqing by Zhu Cixiang... In other words, this half of Sichuan was taken after the overall situation was decided.

Down.

The popular support in that area was no longer very important to Emperor Zhu, so Emperor Zhu was not prepared to equally distribute the rural land in Sichuan west of the Jialing River to the poor local farmers.

Because he also has to give an explanation to the Sichuan bureaucratic landlord class who has followed him for many years!

There is also a "policy that harms the people" that has also been put on the agenda - Sichuan's business roads are almost about to be liberalized!

The honeymoon period between Zhu Cixiang, the Ming emperor, and the working people of Sichuan is about to end... After all, the Ming Dynasty was a feudal dynasty, and it was in a very unpleasant stage of semi-feudal and semi-capitalist.

Therefore, a considerable number of poor and lower-middle peasants in Sichuan still have to embark on the path of "bankruptcy-entering the city-going abroad-getting a green book"!

Zhu Cixiang breathed out and said with a smile: "The remnant bandits in Chengdu should be recruited as much as possible... The local tycoons are short of people, and it is just right for these people to follow them to the United States of Xinzhou! As for those bandits who are officials, they are willing to

Those who follow Li Dingguo, let them go to Uzang in northwest Sichuan. Those who don't want to follow Li Dingguo can also give them some money to let them settle in the southeast. If they really want to follow Li Jicheng, I won't stop them and just let them go.

In short, the Battle of Sichuan must be concluded as soon as possible!"

"Your Majesty, will Yunnan still fight?" Li Yan asked.

"Fight!" Zhu Cixi said with a smile, "But not now...don't chase the poor! Li Jicheng seems to want to leave Burma, I will not stop him, let him go! The good places in Burma are in the central and southern parts, together with Kunming in Yunnan
