Chen Mu didn't expect Zhang Juzheng to write a letter to him.

After he arrived at Xuanfu, he looked at the crippled Wanquandusi and welcomed the cold wind in the north that was unique to the Great Wall along the route, and felt relieved to experience the desolation and vastness of the north.

The garrison was still very bad, and the guards were still very vacant, but the vacancy of the Xuanfu Guards was different from the Southern Guards' methods.

Although there are only 50% of the horses, and even some guards only have 30% of the horses, the guard officials here know that the flag army and servants are their lives, and they are not short of weapons and armor and have strong combat power. Whether the armor is good or bad, they will be put on their bodies; whether the weapons are exquisite or not, they will be taken into their hands.

What cannot be changed is that their greed is even better than the Southern Guards. They are more greedy, but at least they are not as unsupervised as the Southern Guards. Although they are not as good as General Chen, family wealth and wealth can sometimes be equated with the Wei wealth, and they have surplus, but they are far beyond Chen Mu's expectations.

Of course, this is nonsense.

This is the case with the Nine Borders. If there were less than 30 deaths along the Great Wall in that year, the generals, commanders and generals died in battle, then the court officials could say that the Nine Borders were calm this year.

Those who can fight but cannot fight will die. Only when the nine-sided generals can survive are forcibly pushed up by the protracted war.

For example, almost every garrison has a cavalry of at least 300 to 700 or 800, and more chariot soldiers, or there are chariot battalions except cavalry. Interestingly, Chen Mu did not find any garrison without Mongolians, and there were seven or eight or even more. They acted as cavalry instructors or generals and family soldiers of the garrison army.

This is the trace left by Ma Fang, the general of Datong and the general of Xuanfu in the past.

Ma Fang did not use the flag army to fight, but he also realized that the flag army had potential. However, the era of Ma Fang in Xuanfu was too short and it was always time to use troops. He was unable to breathe when he was in charge of the battalion and recruiting troops. Where could he have the strength to manage the flag army?

I got a random stall and rushed out of seclusion and kicked Altan's camp.

Now it is cheaper for General Chen Mu and Chen, a professional farmer in the Ming Dynasty.

When Zhang Juzheng's letter was delivered to Xuanfu, Chen Mu was pulling Dong Yikui and the two deputy generals of Dong Yiyuan, inspecting the garrisons in various places along the Great Wall. To put it bluntly, the 130,000 garrisons in Xuanfu sounded nice, but in fact, only more than 30,000 guards and more than 40,000 battalions were included. Just counting the horse-feeding donkey-raising donkeys, only half of the amount was enough.

The two brothers were not very convinced by Chen Mu. Chen Mu heard in private that Dong Yiyuan praised Chen Mu's flag army for being well-trained. Dong Yikui told his younger brother: He doesn't know if he is practicing the soldier.

They were also from the guards, and their starting point was much higher than Chen Mu. They were the vanguards of Xuanfu, and their ancestors were Dong Zhongshu of the Han Dynasty. Their father was the general of Datong. The two brothers were now the left and right-hand men of Wanquan's defense line, one was the deputy general on the left and the other was the deputy general on the right.

If it weren't for Chen Mu, General Zhenshuo would have chosen 80% of them, and 80% would have been the older Dong Yikui.

Dong Yiyuan admired Chen Mu very much, but his brother Dong Yikui could see clearly that Chen Mu's former commander was convinced, but the general of Xuanfu was the one who came out with charming the emperor.

It's not OK without some real skills.

Then Zhang Juzheng's letter came, just right.

"The general replied to the second assistant first. We will finish the remaining military soldiers in the garrison a while ago, and it will not be too late to discuss military affairs." Dong Yikui stood up and fisted and said, "Then let us brothers retreat first."

Chen Mu put down the letter and raised his hand and said, "No hurry. Look at the military soldiers for some time, Chen roughly understands the situation. The difference between the three guards and battalions in the next three is probably not big. Is it big?"

Dong Yiyuan smiled and said, "There is almost a difference."

"That's it, it's much better than Chen imagined, so that the follow-up matters will be easier to handle." Chen Mu nodded, asked the Dong brothers to sit down, and then asked: "Except for the problems of Xuanfu military soldiers, what can the two generals tell Chen?"

Chen Mu was too optimistic because he was very pessimistic when he was promoted to General of Xuanfu. It was already difficult for the three guards of Yanqing, not to mention that he was asked to take charge of more than a dozen guards and a large number of battalions at once, so there were too many problems.

But now it seems that it is not bad. At least the army here has a certain combat power, and the rest is much easier to solve than this one.

"I can't see it at a glance?"

Chen Mu nodded in response to Dong Yiyuan's question. In his opinion, the brothers are local snakes in Xuanfu, and they should understand any problems.

Dong Yiyuan couldn't make a fuss for a long time, but Dong Yikui was in a hurry and said, "General, don't look down on them. They seem to be able to fight and can indeed go to the battlefield. However, when fighting with the Beilu, there is only a dead end to the field outside the city; the reason why the complete defense line is difficult to break is because the servants of the generals of each division."

"They can block the Northern Lu, fight in the field, and even defeat the Northern Lu. But no one is willing to fight. A team of elite servants, three or five hundred people, tear open the gap in the enemy's formation, and then three or five thousand soldiers rushed forward to win a big victory. The servants are too expensive."

"Apart from that, it's Tian Heqian." Dong Yikui's face was serious, but his eyes looked at Chen Mu were a little joking, "The military field is less than 50%, and it cannot be taken back. Because the land is not a guard official like Yanqing, the most is the Yanqing government."

Chen Mu frowned. What is the bullshit reason for the government to occupy the military field? This is even more excessive than the military field being in the sea.

"The court wants to raise the land of the border generals to raise the family. The housekeepers are very effective, but where does the farmland come from? The people of Xuanfu fled abroad and would rather go to farm outside the border than in the border area. Because the Xuanfu has no land, the people have less than 30% of the remaining land, and many of the land is assigned to the border generals to raise the land of the court. If the land is not enough, they will exchange it with the guards. Some military fields pay taxes, and the generals have to raise the land of the border to support the family. If they can guard the border, the court will be happy."

Chen Mu couldn't help laughing out loud because Dong Yikui was right, and he really couldn't take back this field.

He laughed because he thought of what he said to Tan Lun not long ago, and it was also maintained. The Xuanfu was also maintaining it, just like the court officials.

It seems that this is not a good thing, but in fact they have tried their best to maintain combat power and maintain stability.

"Where is money, what's the problem with money?"

"The general can't see it?" Dong Yikui also smiled and spread his hands and said, "Half the flag army, plowing half of the military fields, and maintaining combat power, otherwise the Beilu would ride a horse into the Great Wall and behead his head; the generals can only get some fuel and arm their servants, but this matter is a bottomless pit and will never be enough. No matter what the general wants to do, there will be no new money."

No new money?

What is Mr. Chen doing?

If you want money without money in a broken place, you have no land, and you can’t see any hope.

Isn’t this forcing people to go towards the direction of a large factory? This is so easy to deal with!

"Silence? I'll just say one thing. Xuanfu Town wants to open a military weapon bureau. It's not in Zhuwei, but in Xuanfu family. The guards leave behind craftsmen who basically repair armor and equipment, and all other craftsmen will be sent to Xuanfu. Chen, according to His Majesty's order, wants to build artillery."

Chen Mu paused heavily on the table with his fingers, "But except for cannons, bird guns, armor, grenades, mines, rockets, and Xuanfu. In order to prevent the border troops from selling these weapons outside the border, they were all bartered. The Xuanfu army treated them equally and wanted guns and cannons? Wool, coal, gold, silver, copper, iron and lead ore, cotton cloth, cotton, and animal skin horses, to exchange them."

"I don't know how to make these things, so I write a book to teach them."

"After a year or two, whoever has insufficient military equipment, can you change it, and change it!"
