Soon, the Ministry of Personnel and the Eastern Palace received a small dynasty meeting on the establishment of the regional chief departments, and many ministers had no objection - this matter was not involved with the Governor's Office of the Five Army and the Censorate, but many ministers discussed it.

Moreover, after this incident, the Ming Dynasty suddenly formed a tacit understanding. The top leaders of the department that exercised supervision powers by the local government must use local officials.

This official only has the responsibility of supervision and cannot have other powers.

On the one hand, local officials are more concerned about the peace and development of their hometown. On the other hand, they must restrict his authority to prevent him from becoming a local "local emperor" and form a place that covers the sky with one hand.

No one opposed the rewards of many heroes who conquered the Golden Horde.

The grandson was named Prince.

Prince of Changchun.

This is very interesting. In Changchun, at the Yidonghe Weilongan Station of the Nuergandusi, Zhu Zhanji was named the Prince of Changchun, which seemed inconspicuous. In fact, this title hides Zhu Di's ambitions.

The grandson of the Ming Dynasty, the future emperor, was regarded as the prince of Changchun.

What does Zhu Di mean?

It means telling the world and telling Zhu Zhanji that I brought your vassal to the border to make you, the future emperor, ensure that Nuergandu is under the control of the Ming Dynasty, and you even have to defeat the Jurchens for me.

Zhu Zhanji's ten thousand generals in the Shenji camp were all promoted or rewarded, including soldiers.

As for money, there is some in the Ming Dynasty.

Another highlight is the meaning of the sacred etiquette.

The reward of the sacred etiquette is actually a difficult problem for the Ministry of Rites and Zhu Di, because it does not belong to the state's organization, but is a private armed force. If the reward is given, it means that the state recognizes their legal and reasonable status.

But this is not a problem for the Ministry of Rites.

A thought came out soon: the rewards of the sacred etiquette were not specific to the person, and they were handed over to the west of the town to handle.

Well, it’s not called Zhenxihou now.

Called Duke of Zhenxi.

This title is difficult to pronounce, but there is no way to do it. The marquis at dusk is the Zhenxi Hou, and there is no specific number of prefectures and counties, so the title of the Duke of the State is almost the same.

Duke Zhenguo?

It was too big, and Zhu Di didn't want it. When others heard this title, they would take it for granted that this Duke Zhenguo was the pillar of the country, giving people the illusion of "a king with a different surname".

So I will seize the Duke of Xiguo.

After being granted the title of Duke, he had to reward gold and silver. This was a headache for Zhu Di. Because the righteousness of the sacred family was formed in its own system, the government was unwilling to formally reward and promotion, so he could only give money.

This is a bit like a mercenary.

...

...

Because the official rewards have not yet begun, the dusk is still free, and midsummer is over. After the autumn, the attack on the Jurchens is basically in vain, so I simply stopped fighting.

In other words, the current war is only the Golden Horde.

Well, there is another place.

Mu Sheng, who had been stationed in Bahtoudadian, was very bored and wrote a seal to Zhu Di, asking to send troops to defeat Bogu and Awa. There was an excuse long ago - Empress Xu Bintian, these two countries did not even send envoys, and they did not respect our country.

Zhu Di approved Mu Sheng’s seal and wrote in seven words: “If there is no reinforcement, if you can fight, you can fight.”

It means telling Mu Sheng that the imperial court has no troops to support you. If you think you can fight, then you will fight. If you think you can’t fight, I will not blame you.

When Mu Sheng saw it, he said, "What a good guy, I am the king of Yunnan. I will beat you, Bogu and Awa, and I need the central government to send troops to support me, so how can I maintain my appearance?"

What's more, His Majesty said that there were no reinforcements, but he did not say that he would not pay.

It’s easy to do things if you have money.

The logistics and food problems can be solved, so Mu Sheng quickly reorganized his army to fight.

Mu Sheng is not stupid either.

Since the Ming Dynasty occupied the Indochina Peninsula, it was necessary to make reasonable use of the human resources of the Indochina Peninsula. So Mu Sheng recruited soldiers in Babaidadian. Well, it was recruiting soldiers, not recruiting soldiers.

In other words, they volunteered to join the army that fought against Bogu and Ava.

The Ming Dynasty was responsible for armor and weapons, including food and grass.

At the same time, there is a generous military salary.

This has a great response in Bahtoudadian. In just half a month, 30,000 young and strong men volunteered to join the army. Even the Lancang next door and the big city slightly farther away, young and strong men came to hear about it.

Now the people from the Indochina Peninsula have discovered that the Ming Dynasty's external expansion war will basically not lose.

It is not too dangerous to join the Ming army and make some money easily. The danger of losing your head is not great - the Angkor army under Xiongba is the previous example. Many soldiers who returned to Angkor have now lived a happy life.

And there is another very important reason: during the rectification period, Mu Sheng's Mu family army purchased a lot of food, which greatly boosted the development of agriculture in the Indochina Peninsula.

So, the young and strong people on the Indochina Peninsula are actually looking forward to the Ming Dynasty's operations.

Liu Ningran and Yu Qian saw that, "Good guy, since Mu Sheng has done this, let's cooperate. So the local governors quickly cooperated to help Mu Sheng recruit soldiers."

So when Yingtian was awarding the reward, Mu Sheng's Mu family army would not be mentioned. The 50,000 troops formed by the young and strong countries in the Indochina Peninsula were actively training. Just wait for Mu Sheng's army to order, the army launched an attack on Bogu, and then Awa... If possible, I guess Mu Sheng would attack Bangladesh directly.

However, Mu Sheng is still preparing.

One is food and grass, and the other is, 50,000 troops on the Indochina Peninsula need more training to form combat effectiveness. At the same time, they need time to prepare weapons and light armor for them.

But this incident touched Liu Ningran and Yu Qian a lot.

The two of them decided to join forces to create a source of troops for the Ming Dynasty before they were about to separate and serve as envoys of the General Administration: a recruitment department will be established within the jurisdiction of the General Administration, and a decree will be issued. In the future, if there is any war in the Ming Dynasty, young and strong people in the jurisdiction will join the army, and they can report directly to the provincial administration within the jurisdiction, and then transport it to the front.

Liu Ningran and Yu Qian named this specialized recruitment department "Employment Office".

Hire people from the Indochina Peninsula to fight.

Simple and straightforward.

In the second half of the 17th year of Yongle, the world's first truly mercenaries took shape, and this will also become the norm for the Ming Dynasty to expand external wars in the future.

Of course, the dominant army does not count.

Xiongba was on duty in the Governor's Office of the Five Army in the Court and belonged to the Ming army. Xiongba included his generals and gentry, and also received the court's salary and military pay.

After receiving the seal on the establishment of an employment office on the Indochina Peninsula, Zhu Di was overjoyed and praised Liu Ningran and Yu Qian. At the same time, he also issued an imperial edict to praise Mu Sheng's operation.

To be honest, Zhu Di never dreamed that one day the Ming Dynasty would become this pattern.

Just pay for it.

Daminger Lang only needs a part of the people, and he doesn't have to charge forward anymore. It is a huge benefit for the people of the country.
