Chapter 17 Half Moon

Although he was in Quzhou, Chen Wen still heard about the revitalization of the people in the southeast against the Qing Dynasty. This was fully reflected in the mental state of all kinds of people who came to serve and pleased by Jinhua and Quzhou.

The situation began to improve, but Chen Wen, who had hidden worries in the future, dared not take it lightly at all. The siege of Quzhou is still in progress. According to the current project progress, the river water of the moat can be discharged in the last two days of September, and then the hole will be blasted after exposure to the sun for a few more days. If nothing unexpected happens, it may be a few days faster than expected.

Nearly half a month has passed since the great victory. Since the occupied area is about to become two, or more, the Lu Jianguo has already left the name of the Supervisor, and the Yongli system's military supervisor may also be coming soon. Cao Conglong's rebellion has not yet come, so Chen Wen used this period to rethink his thoughts and decided to concentrate all the civil and military powers of the entire occupied area in his hands. A team led by "Linhai Bo Mansion" was divided into two groups of civil affairs and military affairs, completely undermining the military supervisor and eliminating the possibility of rebellion.

The preliminary preparations have begun, and the military supervisor is undergoing training. They will set up a separate department to parallel the Military Law Department to maintain the ownership of the army. In addition, some departments in the former Jinhua Town will also be upgraded and will form an agency responsible for handling military affairs with some newly built departments. The original Jinhua Town has completely evolved into a military town that is only responsible for the defense and combat in the jurisdiction like the upcoming Quzhou Town.

These preparations will begin to be officially established after the capture of Quzhou. According to the investigation of the horses and the reports of some people who came to serve and show good news, among the few generals who escaped from the Qing army in that battle, Jiangxi Admiral Liu Guangbi, with about 1,000 people including cavalry, had fled back to Jiangxi, while Wenzhou Deputy General Hu Laijin fled back to Wenzhou Prefecture City with his personal soldiers. As for the left general of Fujian, Wang Zhigang and Zhang Guoxun, deputy general of the Superbiao Battalion, each lost about 30% of their troops, they did not cross Xianxia Pass, but were temporarily stationed in Jiangshan County. It is said that they were looting the local people and recruiting the men to make up for the vacancies.

These two guys probably suffered from the sweetness of the Mandarin Duck Formation and were not scared by that crushing defeat. However, Chen Wen had not had much force, and he might not be able to fight another siege battle at the same time while besieging Quzhou.

However, Chen Wen was not anxious about this. After the Qing army suffered a crushing defeat, he would definitely try to understand the Ming army's tactics. He would always come. No matter how he blocked the enemy, it would be useless. It would be better to strengthen his own strength as soon as possible so that he could deal with various changes.

Chen Wen's army has such morale and tactical level, which is not just as simple as Qi Jiguang and the Yuanyang Formation. It is mixed with many modern and modern army ideas and has begun to gradually play its role. If it is added to the division of land and military merits, it is no longer possible for the Qing army to imitate it just by imitating it. Moreover, it seems that the Yuanyang Formation in the Super Biao Camp seems to have not been completely imitated by Qi Jiguang's original version.

"Mr. An Qian, I have read your report and written it with great thought."

Youdao was a hamstring on his right calf for 100 days. An Youfu's right calf had broken hamstrings, but it still took a lot of time to cultivate. When he was free, he recorded his feelings about fighting the Super Biao Battalion on the battlefield. For this reason, he also found some of the prisoners of the Super Biao Battalion and summarized the content of their training in the Qing army and the front and back. Finally, he handed it to Chen Wen yesterday.

"Tiao Chen was written by Yao Wenshu. He was humble and could not read. I really felt ashamed."

As he said that, An Youfu turned red. Literacy started from Tiantai Mountain, and some officers could write simple letters on their own, especially Wu Dengke. Not only can they write, but even some military books can be read independently. However, in comparison, An Youfu did not have the desire to get promoted or make money, nor did he dream of becoming a famous general who was not inferior to his clan members like Wu Dengke. Therefore, he was half-hearted in literacy. Now that it was time to use it, he could only find someone to write for him, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Because the south was richer in the Ming Dynasty, the literacy rate was higher than that in the north, but this theoretical probability did not include the army.

In the Ming Dynasty, most of the troops were military households, followed by prisoners who were exiled. In addition, some recruited soldiers. In short, they were all "untouchables" in the eyes of literati. Their literacy rate was even lower than that of many generals, and their deputy generals were all unable to read and read. Although this army under Chen Wen had been practicing literacy for nearly two years, almost all those who really read and read literacy were in the logistics department. In addition to the staff members who followed the army, the proportion of staff and military judges was relatively high, but the literacy rate was also much lower than that of the logistics department.

An Youfu was the first member of Nantang Camp. Chen Wen was able to call out each of the hundreds of people, and his understanding of them was much higher than that after the expansion. Among these people, which one was literate, which one was semi-illiterate, and which one was blind. He knew very well. Of course, it was impossible for An Youfu, the guy who was repeatedly named and scolded by the gentleman in charge of literacy, could not know his level.

Hearing An Youfu's answer, Chen Wen nodded first, then turned to say, "It's rare to have ideas and know how to observe, and it proves that I have not read you wrongly. But you must also hurry up on literacy, otherwise I will give you an order in the future. Do you have to find a document to read for you every time?"

After taking over Quzhou, a new round of military expansion is about to begin. This is a good candidate for the battalion official, especially after Chen was sent to this note, Chen Wen became more determined to this view.

Chen Wen's earnest hope in his words moved An Youfu very much. He was a man who was reckless and was punished for this, but he even offended many of his companions around him. The old Ding Keji, his former elder Liu Cheng, and the garrison who later went to Yongkang County, were all very nice to him, so he was willing to take care of his widow and only son for Ding Keji, and also to talk to the garrison for Liu Cheng.

"I know my mistakes, so I go back to find a teacher to read."

After a long conversation, An Youfu took his leave first, while Chen Wen continued to handle official duties. Until a moment later, a messenger returned to the tent and told Chen Wen that they heard a cheer in the city while they were investigating in the area of ​​the city, which was vaguely heard...

At this time, two hundred miles away, outside the gate of the government office, a group of people were standing outside the door, waiting for the guard guard to receive the letter to deliver the post to Sun Yu's table.
