Chapter 59 Reflection

After seeing off 6 Yuding, Chen Wen reintegrated into the busy work. His daily work was arranged in an orderly manner by Zhou Jingting. When to preside over the sacrifices, when to preside over the work of the China Revival Society, when to meet the subordinates who came to report their duties, and when to go back to those anti-Qing people. In short, Chen Wen no longer had any private time every day except for eating, sleeping, and shitting in the days before the New Year.

Sometimes, Chen Wen even viciously thought that the reason why Zhou Jingting, the "office director and secretary" arranged his work so intensively was that he already knew about his visit to the Zhou sister that day. Therefore, this guy who has always been protecting his son, only looked at his sister for a long time in Quzhou and dared to express dissatisfaction with the boss was sincerely arranged so intensively to prevent Chen Wen from "harassing" his precious sister when he had the time to have free time.

Putting aside these reverie, he presided over the sacrifice work of the Martyrs' Temple in the morning. Chen Wen felt uncomfortable as he saw more and more tablets, but he also knew that today's sacrifice would be better than the darkness of the next three hundred years.

After leaving the Martyrs' Temple, Chen Wen returned to the Marquis' Mansion to continue his work. According to the plan, he would meet several officers who came back to report their duties or took office before the New Year. Among them, the commander of the Anhua Town Bastion, which guarded the rear of the army during this year's war, was Lin Zhongxiao, the commander of the Anhua Town Bastion, which guarded the rear of the army.

Due to the rapid expansion of the occupied areas, the original Jinhua Town had evolved into Jinhua, Quzhou and Chuzhou Town. Chen Wen had already obtained the title of admiring the military affairs of the three provinces of Zhi, Zhejiang and Jiangxi, so he directly appointed the generals of these three towns.

According to Bu's appointment, Yin Yue, the former general of Jinhua Town, was promoted to the general of Jinhua Town, Li Ruixin, the former general of Jinhua Town, was appointed as the general of Quzhou Town, and Wu Dengke, the former general of Jinhua Town, was appointed as the general of Chuzhou Town.

These three towns are the largest military district units occupied by the Ming army in Zhejiang. Jinhua is the old nest of this army. Most of the military merits and land are here. Yin Yue, who has always been in charge of the defense of the northern line, would be able to be able to be easily used; Quzhou is Chen Wen's next military direction, and Li Ruixin, who has always been known for his bravery, could better wield his attack instinct; while Chuzhou, although Chen Guobao, who regained Chuzhou, Chen Wen still gave the position of general of the town to Wu Dengke, and he would be responsible for the defense there.

This is not about seniority or trust, because Chen Guobao has a more important task, which is to take over Yin Yue's position as the North Line Defense.

The focus of the defense of the Northern Line is on the narrow and long area from Anhua Town to Zhengjiawu Town. The core idea of ​​defense is to use the Anhua Town basin to be stuck in the main road, and use the artillery on the fortress to control the river surface and roads, so that the Qing army cannot pass smoothly, and the troops behind the side must play a role in hindering the production.

During this year's war, the Qing army had a strong army and the elite troops in Hangzhou were all out. Yin Yue was responsible for the restraining work, but relying on the strength of the bastion, the Ming army still blocked the Qing army there, effectively supporting the successive battles in Quzhou.

After the expansion of the army, Chen Wen planned to expand the half of the Dongyang Battalion as the main trunk into a new combat barracks to strengthen the ability to restrain, and the command of this battalion was Chen Guobao, who was promoted to the general of the regiment training.

Another hero of the Northern Line, Lin Zhongxiao, commander of Anhua Town Bullet, was injured in the second half of the year's war. According to the assessment of the injured part and level, he could no longer be a military general. After all, the two fingers of his right hand were cut down by the broken cannon fragments. He could not command the battle with his sword, nor could he beat the drums to cheer and boost morale at critical moments, let alone supplementing the battle formation.

However, Chen Wen admired this officer very much. He was able to continue to follow the regulations of the bastion guard Caodian when he was injured and commanded the Qing army who had taken advantage of the situation to climb to the top of the city and saved this crucial fortress. The words of conscientiousness and responsibility were no longer described, so Chen Wen planned to listen to his ideas and make adjustments.

<>"End follow the arrangements of the Grandmaster."

After sitting down, Chen Wen first asked about his injuries, and after chatting, he asked about his thoughts, and finally got the answer.

"Lin Guerrilla, according to the military system, your injuries are no longer enough to serve as a commander. To be honest, I admire your work in Anhua Town Lenbuo, so I don't plan to retire from active service and go to the garrison below to become a garrison officer, but want you to continue to serve in the military. If you have any ideas, please speak frankly without worrying about it."

Since he had served as a policing soldier by his side, Chen Wen still had a certain understanding of this officer. In fact, this person is not suitable to serve as the commander of the war barracks because his ambitions were not enough.

"When I go back to the general, I didn't think about these things, but I knew that I was indeed not suitable for being an officer who was the only one. It was not because of this injury, but because of the experience of being a bastion commander this year gave the M. General I felt that this was the case. General I had a very poor performance in the Anhua Town Bastion. Several times the Tartars attacked the city, but they had the chance to give the Tartars greater casualties, but these were only realized after the war, and during the battle, General I only knew to guard according to the rules and regulations."

Lin Zhongxiang said a lot of things in a slew manner. Generally speaking, it was very consistent with Chen Wen's understanding of his character. However, it was precisely these words that Chen Wen found that this general had another advantage that he had not shown before, that is, he knew how to reflect and had some ability to summarize.

Zengzi said: "I examine myself three times a day. Are you unfaithful when you plan for others? Are you unbeliever when you make friends but don't believe in them? Are you unfamiliar with them?"

If you know how to reflect, you will have the possibility of not dying on a wrong path. This is a good quality, and Lin Zhongxiao seems to have already consciously wanted to go to the path that suits him.

Chen Wen thought about it and then said: "Lin Guerrilla, you don't have to underestimate yourself. Your performance in Anhua Town Bastion has been very outstanding, because the order I gave you is to keep the Bastion, and you did it very well. As for more damage to the Tartars, this is just an extra thing, and you don't need to pay too much attention."

Chen Wen knew very well that he and the middle and senior officers under him were not famous generals who used troops like Li Dingguo who were like gods. The reason why he was able to complete this counterattack against the backdrop of the impending destruction of the Anti-Qing movement in Zhejiang and forced Chen Jin, who destroyed various units of the Ming army in Zhejiang, to death, was not only aware of history, but a bigger reason was that he re-embarked on the path of modernization of China's local military, but he was unable to continue on that path since Qi Jiguang.

Because there is no talent like Li Dingguo, most of the officers in the army are from low-level people, so Chen Wen never asked for anything extra to his subordinates. He only needed to be able to do his duty and act according to his orders. In terms of the overall situation, it was enough for him and his staff officer of the Anyuan Marquis' Mansion, which could barely operate even though the parts were rough enough to be tightly matched.

The area of ​​combat is still relatively small, and some rigid regulations can still work, but the scale and scope of the army will be larger in the future, and the requirements for the ability of the generals will be increased accordingly. The martial arts school, the staff teams that will be formed in various battle camps, and the most important military modernization. With these, Chen Wen believes that his ordinary generals can have the power to fight even when facing famous generals in the sense of the feudal army, because the brute force of the modern army is too amazing, just like the strong men of human beings cannot compare horsepower with the heavy machinery that is moving.

Regarding Lin Zhongxiao, this general is indeed not suitable as a commander or as a staff officer. Chen Wensi thought about it for a long time and measured between the military officer and the military judge before he issued an order to transfer Lin Zhongxiao to the Military Justice Department, which was also considered a return to his old business. The next task of this former commander of Anhua Town Bastion was to go to Zhejiang Martial Arts School to make up for the military law regulations.

He completed the performance of several officers, including the military supervisor who was about to serve as the battalion supervisor, and the military supervisor who was about to serve as the commander of the garrison. It was not until dinner that Chen Wen finished the summoning today and stretched his arms. Chen Wen thought with a bad taste that maybe it was probably Zhou Jingting who had already calculated it.

Once he thought about it this way, Chen Wen suddenly realized that he was not as tired as before, as if he was complaining about his boss vampire and capitalist when he had a lot of work.
