Before the siege of Chen Wen's troops recaptured Dongyang County on August 29, the regiments that mainly came from Yiwu began to train troops on the road to return home.

Yiwu County is not very far from Dongyang County. You can reach it by following the Dongyang River north of Dongyang County and dozens of miles westward.

However, after arriving at the ferry north of the county town, due to the lack of ships, the leaders of the regiment trained troops decided to send one person back to report the news according to the villages and towns, while the others returned home on foot.

The reason for this is not just the defeat of the Qing army, but they did not work hard in it. More because this time the Qing army was defeated by a Ming army from Taizhou, and there were many local children in Jinhua. The most important thing was that this Ming army, which was trained by Qi Shuai, was rebuilt by Chen Wen, who was said to be the son-in-law of the Qi family in Penglai!

Such amazing news must be reported to the clan leaders of each family and the villagers and villagers in each village as soon as possible, so that these more authoritative and experienced elders can discuss countermeasures before the best time appears, so that relatives of their clan can avoid the risks as much as possible and obtain greater benefits.

With similar ideas in mind, Lou Chuanzong, who lived in the western Xia Dynasty in the county town and several regiment training representatives from the west of the capital town, arrived in ashore and walked back to their hometown after bypassing the county town.

On the afternoon of the first day of September, Chen Wen had already returned to the military camp from Jiuru Hall, and Lou Chuanzong rushed to the ancestral hall of Xia Yanlou family. After worshiping his ancestors, he rushed to report to the patriarch of the contemporary Lou family about his specific situation of going to Dongyang County.

"Chuanzong, why did you bring back the weapons? Didn't the mansion say that the people are not allowed to store weapons and armor privately, and those who violate the enemy will be executed?"

"If you say that the fifth uncle is not my nephew Menglang. At this moment, the city probably doesn't have time to care about such trivial matters."

"oh?"

The patriarch of the Lou family was surprised to hear this. This incident was repeated. Even a military family like the Lou family, who had produced many military generals in their early years, was forced to hand over some weapons to deal with the responsibilities. Could it be that the Qing army will encircle and suppress several bandits this time?

"Fifth Uncle, do you know who your nephew has met in Dongyang? Sixteenth Brother!"

The answer of Lou Chuanzong really surprised the old patriarch of the Lou family. Although Lou Jiye was a concubine's son, he was the only remaining child in the room passed down from Lou Nan, and he has always been the most highly anticipated young man in the Lou family. However, since the Qing army went south and Lou Jiye went to war with Shangguan, who was originally stationed in Jinhua Mansion, there was no news coming back. The entire clan thought he was dead, otherwise how could he not even bring back a message for so many years?

"Chuanzong, you read that right, how could Jiye go to be a bandit?!"

This question made Lou Chuanzong stunned until he heard it. He did not react until a moment later. He was so excited that he had not yet explained the whole story of the whole matter clearly. If his father was present, he would have to beat him hard.

"It's not a bandit, the fifth uncle, not a bandit, the royal army of the court, and Grandpa Qi's soldiers are back!"

"What did you say?!"

After hearing this, the old patriarch of the Lou family stood up. When he saw that his skills were young, he must be a trainer. But now he is old and he is too fast to stand up, and his brain is not insufficient blood supply, so his eyes turn dark and he almost faints.

When the old patriarch of the Lou family recovered from his consciousness, he had already sat on the Grand Master's chair again. In addition to Lou Chuanzong, his children and grandchildren were also crowded with him.

After driving all the idle people out, the old patriarch of the Lou family immediately asked Lou Chuanzong: "Grandpa Qi's soldiers? Say it quickly! Say to me without saying a word of what you saw and heard during this trip."

Seeing that the old uncle was so impatient, Lou Chuanzong could naturally understand this feeling. During the years when Qi Jiguang was alive, not only the Lou family, but all the members of the Qi family army were glorious everywhere. Even local prefects and civil servants like the magistrate rarely deliberately cause trouble for them.

However, after Qi Jiguang's death, the power of the Qi family army plummeted. Not to mention the unjust killing Lou Nan, when the Wanli Dynasty fought against Japanese pirates in Korea, not to mention Chen Can and others who arrived later, even the famous Zhejiang generals of the Zhejiang Army who always followed Qi Jiguang could only fight under the command of Li Rusong and Magui and other Liaodong and Shanxi border troops.

After Qi Jiguang's nephew General Qi Jin died in his country, the officers' group of generals in Jinhuafu, the Penglai Qi family, named the Qi family, was completely old and withered, and could no longer have a deserved place in the Ming general territory.

After the Qing army advanced south, it committed a bloody massacre in Jinhua City, killing more than 50,000 people, and slaughtered the people in various parts of Jinhua Palace. Otherwise, Yin Can, Zhou Qingui and others would have launched an anti-Qing army in Zhejiang, why did so many Jinhua people respond?

However, today, the Nantang Camp, which relies on the military spirit of rebuilding the Qi family army, relying on the Qi Jiguang military letter battle formation, using the Qi family army to protect the people and eliminate the Tartars, suddenly appeared in Jinhua, and almost easily defeated the Qing army several times more. The battle process can only be described as crushing.

If the status of the commander of that army is added, then what would it be if it wasn’t Grandpa Qi’s soldiers who returned to Jinhua?

Next, Lou Chuanzong explained what he saw and heard in the past few days to the old patriarch of the Lou family, and even the rumors he heard in the camp were revealed, especially the Yuanyang Formation used by Nantang Camp when defeating the Qing army and Chen Wen learned that they were all from Yiwu, and some of the ancestors had the joy of fighting under Qi Jiguang's command, and wrote a special book on them.

"It's just the fifth uncle. The mandarin duck formation used by this Marshal Chen is composed of a mandarin duck formation killer team and a firearm team. The firearm team does not have firearms, which is different from Grandpa Qi when he fought against the Japanese."

"There is nothing unusual. This is the infantry battalion formed by the killer team of the Yuanyang Formation when fighting against the Japanese in the south with slightly modified firearms teams in the north when defending the border. I think of it. This is probably the special opinion of the General Chen of General Chen on the Yuanyang Formation. Otherwise, Grandpa Qi would not have modified the Yuanyang Formation, which was unfavorable in the south after he arrived in the north. "

After saying this, the more the old patriarch of the Lou family thought about it, the more he felt that he had touched some of Chen Wen's new ideas about the Mandarin Duck Formation, and the joy in his heart could no longer be concealed.

When his ancestors followed Qi Jiguang to fight against the Japanese, the Yuanyang Formation was a magic weapon to defeat the enemy. Later, after the Qi family lost power, no one took out the Yuanyang Formation. Instead, they all learned Li Chengliang's trick of raising family members.

Until today, someone finally took out the Yuanyang Formation and Qi Jiguang's military letter battle formation to kill the Tartars. Even if the statement of the son-in-law of the Qi family is not, it should not be too different. The commander of the Ming army is at least a person related to the Qi family in Penglai. Otherwise, how could an ordinary person be so familiar with the traditions of the Qi family?

Well, that must be true!

Realizing that this news was of great importance, the old patriarch of the Lou family quickly sent someone to invite all the people in charge of each house. After all, Lou Chuanzong once again told the elders of the Lou family that he saw, which was smoother than when he said he had just given it to the old patriarch of the Lou family.

After hearing this news, all the elders of the Lou family were also excited, and among them, Lou Jiye's father was even more crying because his son not only lived in the world, but also shone his ancestors for the Lou family as his father said.

Seeing that Lou Jiye's father was still remembering his deceased father, another elder of the Lou family who could no longer bear it, he asked Lou Chuanzong: "Chuanzong, does Jiye's nephew hold any position in this army of General Chen?"

"The general, my nephew in the Governor's office didn't ask much, but this time, General Chen only brought a small number of troops to the command of the main force of the Yuanyang formation to the Sixteenth Brother. I think it was highly valued."

The elder of the Lou family nodded, and then another elder asked Lou Chuanzong: "In addition to Jiye, are there other children who were generals under Grandpa Qi's command in the army of Dashui Chen?"

Lou Chuanzong thought about it and then replied: "There are quite a few Yiwu children in this royal army. My nephew only knows one of the Ye family in the back, and is a Qianzong. However, when he heard from the Marshal Chen, there is also a child of the Wu family who is a general under the Marshal Chen. Now, as the general of the rank, he stays in Taizhou as the old camp, and will come to meet soon."

The Wu family mentioned by Lou Chuanzong is the Wu family in Wu Kantou, the ancestor behind the famous Zhejiang Army general Wu Weizhong. The child of the Wu family is Wu Dengke, who has long been appointed as the deputy governor of the Left Army Governor's Office and deputy general of Dalanshan by the Lu Jianguo.

Hearing this, seeing that the owners of the house had to ask more questions, the old patriarch of the Lou family coughed and signaled that they didn't need to ask any more. Then he ordered the task to everyone, and for a moment, he had the style of the great commanders of the ancestors.

"The fourth brother, didn't your daughter marry into Houzhai Town? Let your family go there, bring a message, and ask the Ye family what they think."

"Uncle Fifth, my nephew understands."

"Lao Jiu, let your son go to the Wu family now, and I said I had something to discuss with you. Please ask the head of the Wu family to come to the old place at noon tomorrow."

The Lou family is very close to the Wu family, and the two are closer than the other families. The old patriarch of the Lou family was close to each other in his early years. Even when he was old, he had to get together to drink some wine every once in a while, so the relationship was naturally extraordinary.

"Yes, the fifth uncle."

"Old Eleven, you are the most reliable in your work. Go to the city to have a look. Maybe our Lou family can give Chen Dashuai a generous gift!"

"Fifth uncle, please rest assured. My nephew will definitely find out the situation in the city."
