According to Zhu Youlang's request, the wormwood was mashed into juice and taken to the soldiers suffering from malaria.

The results proved to be very good.

Except for the severely ill soldiers, the symptoms of the other soldiers were all relieved.

The soldiers are very grateful to the emperor. If there were no Yellow Flower Artemisia, I would not know how many brothers would die.

The emperor is truly saving their lives.

As for the severely ill soldiers, there was no way. The emperor ordered them to continue taking medicine and the medical soldiers took good care of them.

At this time, the role of the medical soldier was reflected, and Zhu Youlang was very grateful for his decision.

In short, Zhu Youlang will not give up every soldier easily, they are Zhu Youlang's people.

Because of illness, the speed of the Ming army's marching slowed down.

However, Zhu Youlang did not regret it. He must make the soldiers feel safe and would not be abandoned because of illness and injury.

As for this swamp, you can always go out, it’s just one day earlier or one day earlier.

In his spare time, Zhu Youlang calmed down and thought about the expansion of the Ming army.

The main forces he can fight now are the Sichuan Army, the Yunnan Army and the Kuidong Towns.

Although these soldiers were in their prime, Zhu Youlang still had to prepare for the future.

Otherwise, what if the gear is out of range?

Huguang has a large population, and even after several wars, it still ranks among the top in the country.

Moreover, Huguang is very rich, with most of the people having good families.

This is simply an excellent source of troops.

After all, Zhu Youlang only has good children and rogues, he doesn't want any gangsters.

Zhu Youlang's principle in terms of recruitment has always been to be more than to be too little.

To recruit soldiers, you must naturally provide corresponding benefits.

Previously, Zhu Youlang gave the Hu Ben Army a benefit of 2 taels of silver per month, and he had meat every meal.

However, according to this principle, even if you recruit a large army, you will have to be emptied.

Therefore, Zhu Youlang must make certain cuts in welfare.

After all, this time we recruited ordinary standing troops rather than elite troops like the Hu Ben Army.

At first, Zhu Youlang didn't want to force recruitment, so he wanted to try it out first.

If the results are good, implement them in full.

Zhu Youlang, a soldier who was recruited, would give some land to their families.

After all, after the war, some gentry landlords fled to the south, and their land naturally became a homeless wasteland.

The imperial court can rule these lands with justification, and there is no problem in giving them to these soldiers' homes.

At first, Zhu Youlang wanted to give these family members some pigs and sheep, but when he thought that the court could not bring out so many things, he gave up.

Zhu Youlang's initial goal is to recruit 100,000 troops.

It is not difficult to recruit this number of people based on Huguang's population.

In the future, Zhu Youlang will recruit troops from the local area to achieve the need to be stationed separately.

Otherwise, when the Ming army was stationed in Huguang, if we only conquered one place, we would be unable to defeat four or five provinces in the future.

It is impossible to reuse Zhu Youlang, the surrendered Green Camp army.

These are all veterans who can surrender and run away at any time when the wind direction is wrong.

It is still for soldiers trained by themselves to use.

This is also the reason why Zhu Youlang had to build the Imperial Ming Military Academy.

Recruiting new recruits is to lay a solid foundation, and cultivating generals is to improve them.

Whether it is the foundation or the pyramid, Zhu Youlang must ensure that he is controlled by himself.

It is particularly important to be a real emperor.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Zhuguo is asking for a meeting."

Zhu Youlang was in the midst of contemplation, and the eunuch Han Miao said respectfully.

"Come in."

He respects these veterans Zhu Youlang very much. Zhang Zhuguo should be the leader of these veterans, so Zhu Youlang naturally has to treat him with courtesy.

"The grass people pay homage to the saint!"

In a moment, Zhang Zhuguo had already entered the account. According to Zhu Youlang's request, he did not give a big gift, but bowed to him.

"I have said that you are heroes of the Ming Dynasty, not some slut. You can call yourself a minister."

"I thank you for your Majesty."

Zhang Zhuguo said excitedly: "I am very pleased to see that the Wang Shishi's military discipline is strict. But..."

Seeing that he changed his mind, Zhu Youlang said in a harmonious voice: "Your dear, please point it out if you think there is anything wrong with it."

"Although the soldiers are strict in military discipline, they seem to lack some experience. For example, long-distance marching requires leggings, one is to avoid fatigue, and the other is to prevent blood and water accumulation."

Zhang Zhuguo thought about it and decided to tell the truth.

Although these are all details, if you are not careful, it is likely to cause a series of consequences.

"I was neglecting."

Zhu Youlang did not notice the leggings issue mentioned by Zhang Zhuguo.

Even in the late Chongzhen period, the regular army implemented leggings.

But now the main force of this Ming army is the original Daxi Army.

Although the identity of the Daxi Army became regular with the support of Emperor Yongli, the energy in its bones did not change.

To put it bluntly, it is the habit of thieves.

The thief is not as particular as the regular army.

In ancient times, these details were passed down by word of mouth.

Without a master, no one would have thought of details like leggings out of thin air.

As for other details, there must be many shortcomings, but they have not yet been reflected.

Zhu Youlang thought about it carefully and felt a little scary.

These older generation soldiers are still very capable in their business.

After thinking about it, Zhu Youlang said loudly: "I wonder if my dear friend is interested in being an instructor in the army and teach them these details?"

It is still very important to inherit this kind of thing.

What Ming Jun lacks now is these details.

This is also the difference between a strong army and an invincible army.

Zhang Zhuguozhi was stunned.

He is over 60 years old, and his companions are basically at this age.

He really never thought that he would join the military camp again as an instructor in this life.

This is truly a supreme favor.

"Why, my dear don't want it?"

When Zhu Youlang saw that Zhang Zhuguo had not spoken for a long time, he asked.

"Ah, the old minister is willing! The old minister is willing to do anything for the Ming Dynasty!"

At this moment, Zhang Zhuguo's strong momentum was getting stronger.

What are the soldiers of Youyang who dare not do?

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were fearless and nothing would knock them down!

"That's good. I will order the King of Jin to arrange a matter."

Zhu Youlang was very satisfied with Zhang Zhuguo's attitude and nodded with a smile.

The older generation of soldiers is still trustworthy. Zhu Youlang can feel at ease with veterans like Zhang Zhuguo as instructors.

With the inheritance, these soldiers will be given some extra things, and they can pass on these things in the future.

This goes on and on, and it will never stop.

The Ming army will become stronger and more cohesive.

These are all for the long-term plan and may not be revealed immediately at the moment.

But Zhu Youlang thinks it is very necessary.

The Ming Dynasty must establish its own military spirit. Only in this way can the Ming Dynasty king army be truly invincible and have no opponents.
