Chapter 47 New Blood

The missionary was named Charles Kingsley, and he was named and named with the British children's literature writer two hundred years later. He was also an English man, to be precise, a British pirate. At least this was true before the ship where he was located sank in the storm and was dying by a ship sailing towards Macau.

"England? Didn't Britain have its own church, and it had long been divided from the Holy See?"

Hearing this, Charles was really shocked. At least among the Chinese people he knew, there were indeed few who could distinguish European Catholicism and Protestantism so clearly. Even the learned and literary and literary Mr. Li Yu who made friends with him in Hangzhou could not do it. How did this Ming army commander and a noble count know so clearly?

"May God forgive those sinners."

Chen Wen was not interested in talking about religion. At least in his opinion, the idea of ​​separation of governance in ancient China was already very good in theory, and there was no need to learn from the Roman Catholic Church. As for the Church of the United Kingdom, the understanding accumulated by this British man in the first half of his life seems to have not been much more than the Catholic teachings in Macau in the past two years, so there is no need to waste words in this regard.

"Charles, do you have any family in England?"

"Yes, mine, well, and our little angel Alice." As he said, the "missionary" seemed to recall the sweetness of a long time.

Alice Kingsley, it should sound like a very cute little girl, probably like a doll.

Chen Wen smiled slightly and then said, "Charles, do your best and restore the two capitals. In addition to the salary and bonus you deserve every month, I will also give you another big gift so that you can return home in glory. Of course, it is also possible to let your wife and daughter accompany you. China is rich and beautiful, far from being comparable to your hometown, that small island country."

"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Earl, I will work hard."

This British guy was met by Li Yu in Hangzhou and he brought him from Hangzhou to Jinhua. He was the guy Chen Wen thought it was more interesting before.

Li Yu is a world-wide person. The people he interacts with can be said to be from prime ministers and ministers to peddlers and pawns. The rich knowledge and experience brought to him by the exchange have sublimated his works. However, now, when Chen Wen met Li Yu again as Lin Haibo, after a moment of silence, Li Yu expressed to Chen Wen that he did not want to be a writer, so Chen Wen sent him to the department that trains civil servants, hoping to get an outstanding official, at least slightly make up for the regret that the works such as "******" and "Li Weng's Ten Songs" can no longer appear in the world.

Some of Li Yu's friends went to Zhejiang Martial Arts School to train staff officers, while Li Yu and the other two went to the training class to train civil servants to report that only this British man was thrown into the Military Industry Department by Chen Wen because, in addition to his knowledge of Latin and being able to help build hydraulic machinery with handicrafts, this guy also had the experience of making telescopes when he was in the UK.

Although it is not particularly rich, it is better than the craftsmen in the Military Industry Department who do not even have any experience at all...

Chen Wen intends to continue to solve the problem of hydraulic machinery by acquiring European industrial and military books translated by the literati and officials of the Ming Dynasty.

As for asking this British man to return to Macau to get technical assistance, Chen Wen has no such plan yet, because he always feels that this British man is not a devout believer at all, and the reason for going to Hangzhou and coming to Jinhua is definitely not as simple as what he said, "under orders to investigate the situation and preach the mission." Therefore, it is better to leave this skill of making telescopes first, after all, a bird in hand is better than ten birds in the forest.

On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month of the sixth year of Yongli, the first batch of recruits who entered the recruit battalion will start a two-month training camp, and will then be assigned to each combat battalion in batches to listen to it. However, before this oath-taking ceremony, Chen Wen came up with new tricks to increase the morale of the veterans and recruits.

On the colonel field, there were two infantry bureaus and a cavalry team of more than 100 people. The queues of these veterans stood in front of the closest to the docking platform. The first batch of 3,000 new recruits were divided into several square formations and stood on the left and right of the veterans' queue, so that they could see clearly what was happening on the camp field.

"Zhang Yida, the archer of the 7th Infantry Team of the tentative infantry in the first round, get out of the line!"

The first round of the temporary infantry is the temporary number of the two rounds that reinforced the left wing in the Battle of Shentangyuan. This number will continue to be used for two months. After the first batch of new recruits complete the training, they will be broken up with these two rounds and mixed into a brand new battle camp.

Hearing the call of the Soldiers Platform, Zhang Yida hurriedly walked out of the queue, then ran all the way to the Soldiers Platform, and boarded the Soldiers Platform full of senior officers of the Ming Army in Zhejiang.

"I have met the generals! I have met all the generals!"

"In the first game of the Infantry, the seventh infantry in the B-Secretary against the archer Zhang Yida, in the battle of Shentangyuan, when the infantry in our team was not damaged enough to complete the formation, he resolutely used a spear to supplement the queue as an archer. Fight bravely until the end of the battle."

"Now, in accordance with the military merit reward regulations of the King of Zhejiang Division, the governor battalion faced by the troops copied the mandarin duck formation organization of the Ming army in Zhejiang, and beheaded by the average number of the eight banners of Manchu, Mongolian and Han, and the entire team beheaded for level 45. Zhang Yida held the two tasks of archer and spearman in the battle, rewarding 65 acres of military merit, and exempting tax for twenty years!"

The officer in charge of shouting used an iron horn to read out the military reward loudly. When the words "reward 60 acres of military merits and land is rewarded for twenty years," the audience immediately exclaimed again.

During the Battle of Shentangyuan, they defeated their opponents in front of them and achieved a great victory in the Ming army. The Nantang Camp of the Central Army, Dongyang Camp of the Right wing, and the two temporary infantry bureaus were the ones who were temporarily transferred. Because they faced weak opponents and the subsequent pursuit battles were relatively smooth, they beheaded many. However, it is precisely for these reasons that most of their military achievements were less than the left wing that was gnawing hard, even if the left wing had much less beheading than them.

The public distribution of military merit rewards does not involve officers, but only soldiers are recruited one by one. Without the comparison of officers, the soldiers' military merit rewards appear to be more. In fact, even if the officers are put together, it is definitely not a small number, but the effect will be more obvious.

Zhang Yida is not the first or the last; he is not the one who rewards the most, nor the one with the least. However, an ordinary soldier can get such a generous reward by fighting the enemy on the battlefield. It is conceivable how great anger it will be for ordinary soldiers.

He watched the cavalry walking down the stage with great might, and then looked around. Wherever he saw, the recruits all showed envy and jealous expressions, just like him.

"Such a good method is no wonder Lin Haibo was able to make a world of war in Zhejiang, where heavy troops gathered in just two years. It was indeed not a lucky thing. I really came right this time."

The rewards were still being announced in public. Although the soldiers in the audience couldn't see clearly when they were far away, the veterans in their eyes were full of pride, while the new soldiers showed envious expressions.

He nodded with satisfaction until the entire camp ceremony was over, and Chen Wen returned to Linhai Bo Mansion, which had moved to the mansion city. After returning, he had not had time to have lunch, a dusty figure appeared in front of him.
