It turns out that he is Qin Bangping's son!

After Qin Gongming explained it, Zhu Cilang learned that Yuan Yi was his name. Because Lu Zhenfei was familiar with him, he was called the name.

This can explain.

Qin Gongming did have a person in history, but he did not leave any words. Although Zhu Cixuan was a professor of Ming Shi in his previous life, he could not guess what Qin Gongming's character was out of thin air. Therefore, when he heard Lu Zhenfei call Qin Gong Mingyuan for a while, he did not think about the Qin family in Sichuan at all.

"The Qin Secretary of the State Council was loyal to the king and the country, and died in the battle of Hunhe, and I admired him very much."

Qin Gongming's expression was a little lonely when he heard the words "Hunhe".

He sighed: "I think in the Battle of Hunhe, the army was divided into two battalions. The guerrilla Zhou Dunji and his father led their troops across the river first to establish a battalion on the north of the bridge. General Tong Zhongkui, Chen Ce, Deputy General Qi Jin, and General Zhang Mingshitong 3,000 Zhejiang soldiers set up a battalion on the south of the bridge..."

Qin Gongming paused for a moment and continued, "The Eastern Barbarians used cavalry to launch attacks many times, but they could not gain any advantage. If it weren't for Yuan Yingtai's failure to send troops to support, it is still unknown who wins and who loses!"

Speaking of this, the blue veins on Qin Gongming's forehead bulged, and his hands were clenched tightly into a fist.

"Can General Qin be in the army at that time?"

Qin Gongming shook his head.

"At that time, the minister did not go to the war with his father."

Zhu Cilang nodded slightly.

The bloody battle in Hunhe is hard to describe in words. The four thousand Sichuan soldiers and the three thousand Qi family soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers were basically killed to serve the country. If Qin Gongming was also on the battlefield at that time, he would probably have died in his country.

Fortunately, it was a bit of blood left for the Qin family.

"General Qin said he hoped to train this rural soldier into a Sichuan army, but is there a way?"

Zhu Cilang's tone suddenly changed, Qin Gongming was stunned at first, then shook his head: "I am incompetent. These rural soldiers are much worse than those of Shizhu soldiers. I'm afraid it will be difficult to train as the Sichuan Army."

Zhu Cilang smiled but said nothing.

In his opinion, the quality of the soldiers themselves is important, but the training method is also very important.

The organization of the Baigang Soldiers is suitable for mountain combat, but not necessarily suitable on plains. A single army can easily allow the enemy to find a breakthrough. In Zhu Cilang's view, the Qi family army trained by Qi Jiguang is more suitable as a benchmark.

"I have an idea."

Zhu Ciyang paused for a moment and said, "Can you train the village soldiers in the way Qi Shaobao said in "Ji Xiao New Book"?"

Qin Gongming was born into a general, so he naturally had heard of the Qi family army. In fact, the Battle of Hunhe was a cooperation between the Baigan Soldiers of Sichuan and the Zhejiang Soldiers of Qi family.

The Sichuan army led by the Qin family was famous all over the world. In their opinion, the rest of the Ming army was not worth mentioning, but the Qi family army was worthy of respect. The strong only respect the strong, and this is what they say about mutual appreciation.

Now that Zhu Cixuan proposed to train the village soldiers according to the method of "Ji Xiao New Book", Qin Gongming did not refuse, but fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to give it a try."

Zhu Cilang breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that Qin Gongming would come up stubbornly and would not give him face.

Although the Sichuan soldiers are also very sharp, the Qin family did not leave a systematic training method. In addition, the single type of white-rod soldiers is not the best choice.

The training method of Qi Family Army was clearly written in "Ji Xiao New Book".

Even if Zhu Cilang doesn't understand military affairs very much, he can understand the common sense of formations written on it.

He believed that with a general like Qin Gongming, training according to the methods in "Ji Xiao New Book", would definitely improve the combat level of 20,000 township soldiers a lot.

Qin Gongming asked Shen Jing again about the situation. When he learned that Shen Jing was in danger, he was furious and rushed to the crown.

Zhu Cilang believed that as long as he gave an order, Qin Gongming would lead these 20,000 rural troops to the north to serve the king without hesitation.

Of course, he would not give this order. First, the capital has been mostly broken, and it would be useless to rush there. Second, the combat power of these rural soldiers is indeed too low, and rushing over will make a fuss to rush to the wrong side.

A small impatience will cause trouble for the big plan. In order to restore Shenjing, you must endure when you should.

Of course, Zhu Cixuan would not place all his hopes on these 20,000 rural soldiers. He planned to recruit some miners in Yiwu and other places, and recruit some strong bars to work at the docks along the Huaiyang Canal.

These people are the most capable of enduring hardships, and it is most appropriate to use them as a team to form a new army.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the army was already ruined. If you want to turn the tables, you must not rely on those warlords. Training the country soldiers and forming a new army is essential.

Zhu Cixuan said some encouragement to Qin Gongming, and left the General Office of the Regiment Training General with Lu Zhenfei, and returned to the old city of Huai'an after passing Jiacheng.

Governor Lu Zhenfei enthusiastically led the prince to visit his Governor Biao Camp.

Unlike those village soldiers, the soldiers of the governor Biao battalion were all equipped with waist knives, long knives, and spears, but the firearms were equipped with some stretches. In addition to four tiger squat cannons and two small folang machines, there were no cannons. There were very few muskets, and basically only one out of ten people was guaranteed to be one of the bird guns with the worst accuracy.

This kind of bird gun is very rough and often explodes, so that soldiers are afraid of guns like tigers. Some say they dare not use bird guns, and they would rather use bows and crossbows.

Zhu Cilang shook his head.

I remember that when the Ming Chengzu established the Shenji Camp and vigorously developed firearms, the Great Open Firearms troops were in the leading position in the world. Unexpectedly, two hundred years have passed, the proportion of the Ming army's firearms has become lower and lower. In other words, the proportion of the firearms of the Qi family army can exceed 50%, and the remaining border troops and the governor's battalion are probably not in a CD.

If you want to change this situation, you can only find a solution from the source. Zhu Cilang felt that it was necessary to set up a firearm bureau to allow craftsmen to develop new firearms and build factories to produce muskets and cannons.

Of course, this requires a lot of financial support. Zhu Cixuan obviously cannot provide it at the moment, and he will have to wait until he ascends the throne before he can put it on the agenda.

After inspecting the Governor Biaoying, Zhu Cixuan and Lu Zhenfei returned to the Governor's Office together.

The young eunuch Liu Chuanzong and the guard Zhao Xin were always guarding Zhu Cixuan, and they were always in a row.

Although they could see that the governor of the way out was a loyal minister and would not be detrimental to His Royal Highness, it is difficult to guarantee that some people with ulterior motives were hiding in the dark. If these people were allowed to hurt His Royal Highness, they would be dying and not forgive.

Zhu Ciyang was waiting for the news of the fall of the capital to Huai'an, and was not in a hurry to go to Nanjing. After entering the back hall of the Governor's Office, Zhu Ciyang asked Lu Zhenfei casually: "I heard that the Governor of Fengyang Ma Shiying and the Secretary of the Ministry of War of Nanjing Shi Kefa discussed the matter of going to Nanjing to supervise the country. I wonder if Mr. Haoyue heard about it?"

Lu Zhenfei shook his head and said, "I don't know where your highness got the news? Shibutang did have this idea before, but Governor Ma did not express it."

Zhu Cilang was just testing, but he just nodded slightly when he heard this.

"Report! Urgent!"

Just then, a personal soldier stumbled and ran outside the gate of the back hall.

Lu Zhenfei was very unhappy and scolded him before letting him in.

"Report to the Lord, General Gao Jie arrives in Huai'an and requests to enter the city!"
