This is the second time Hu Er has been visiting Sun's house today, but this time his mood is completely different from last time.

Seeing Chen Wen's greeting, Hu Er immediately accused him of guilt and squeezed in, then knelt down to Chen Wen with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations to Mr. Chen, and congratulations to Mr. Chen. Wang Jingluo made a contribution to Mr. Chen's position as the chief of painting in the middle camp of Dalan Mountain. The villain is here to ask you to go up the mountain to formally entrust and delist."

Is it a meritorious to make suggestions? Is it a praise for the generals of painting?

The suggestion can refer to going to Japan to beg for a military commander or previous information, but it is definitely not that simple. Chen Wen felt that Wang Yi asked him to go up the mountain this morning to recruit him, and the contribution of this suggestion was just an interface for appointing an official position.

As for the sagemaster of the painting, Chen Wen was not interested in it. He was in a chaotic world and was free from fists or courage. He was not interested in the mermaid in the morning, the sixth-rank Honglu Temple Temple Master, not to mention the sagemaster of the sagemaster of the noon.

Seeing that Chen Wen actually showed an indifferent expression, Hu Er immediately came to Chen Wen and explained to Chen Wen on behalf of Wang Yi: Chen Wen's praise for the general of Hua Hua is not a free position in praise for the military affairs of Hua, but a real position in the military affairs of the Central Camp. He also said that Wang Yi said that Chen Wen can also be converted into a formal civil or military position in the future.

Chen Wen knew that the Dalan Mountain Central Camp is now managed by two deputy generals of the painting, one is Shen Diaolun and the other is Zou Xiaonan. Shen Diaolun is a child of the Shen family of Yuyao clan, the descendant of the famous Yangming Xinxue School in the late Ming Dynasty, and the brother of Shen Guomo, one of the founders of Yaojiang Academy. Although Zou Xiaonan’s family background is not very clear, it is said that he is also a talented man in Ningshao.

In fact, both of them were temporarily in charge of the camps as civil servants, just like Chu Jiuru temporarily in charge of the left and right battalions before, and when Liu Yiming went up the mountain, he handed these two battalions to his commander, because this is more in line with the tradition of military generals leading troops and civil servants supervising the army since the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

After hearing Hu Er's explanation, Chen Wen knew very well that Wang Yi meant to temporarily grant him praise for the general of the painting. If he really had the ability to lead the troops well, he would directly hand over the Central Camp to him as Liu Yiming as before.

If that's all, Chen Wen believes that with the military theory that has surpassed hundreds of years in his mind and the training methods of future generations, he does not feel that he cannot obtain the real power of the camp to lead the troops.

However, Wang Yi threw his charming eyes to the blind man. Chen Wen couldn't even raise any interest in this arrangement from the beginning.

Chen Wen said lightly: "This matter cannot be agreed upon, but it will not be difficult for Brother Hu to do it. I will follow Brother Hu to go up the mountain to explain to Zhenglu Wang."

Originally, when everyone in the courtyard heard that Chen Wen was appointed as the General of Pianhua, their faces seemed to be shining, revealing an uncontrollable joy.

For them, the commander who had just swore allegiance to become a general of the Praise Painting immediately jumped from white to Praise Painting, which made them seem to see the scene where these little people who were nothing at this moment might be promoted to officers soon. After all, Chen Wen, Praise Painting, was just a cadre on the front line, so he naturally needed to promote some confidants to control the army. According to convention, such tasks were generally performed by the first group of allegiancers, which made them not excited.

However, when everyone believed that Chen Wenhui accepted the appointment, he actually refused. This made the courtyard silent for a moment.

Everyone couldn't understand Chen Wen's decision. Most people were just moved by Chen Wen, but some active people like Yin Ergou felt that if Chen Wen accepted the appointment, it would mean that they could legitimately place people in the Central Camp. At that time, they could borrow the chickens organized by Zhongying to lay eggs to rebuild the Qi family army. Wouldn't that be good?

Seeing that there was no time to explain it to everyone, Chen Wen took out some money and asked Wu Dengke to take the group of people and Sun Yu's younger brother to the food shop in the village for dinner, and asked Sun Ming to bring a portion for his sister-in-law.

Chen Wen knew that he and this group of people always occupied the courtyard. Although the Sun family's wife knew most of these people, she was embarrassed to come out to cook. If he didn't do this, then Yi would have to cook for his younger brother on hungry days, which made Chen Wen feel a little disgusted.

After everything was arranged, Chen Wen followed Hu Er to the old camp on the mountain again.

When Chen Wen returned to the central army hall, he refused Wang Yi's appointment without hesitation, which surprised Wang Yi very much.

So, Chen Wen once again sold his banner to rebuild the Qi family army.

"At the beginning of the country, the military forces were rampant in the world, and whether it was the Northern Barbarians, the Southern Barbarians, or the Japanese pirates, they all became powder. Subsequently, the military system was corrupt, and the military forces completely became farmers and could no longer fight."

In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang established the garrison system, claiming to support a million troops without spending money. In fact, it improved the garrison system during the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The initial effect was very good. The garrison soldiers fought bravely for the sake of land and hereditary military duties, so their combat effectiveness was amazing.

However, this system soon began to be corrupted. Both Hongwu and Yongle dynasties issued laws to try to stop this momentum, but the effect was not good. By the Jingtai period, the number of military households fleeing had reached a jaw-dropping level, and this was one of the reasons why Emperor Jingtai decided to let Yu Qian intervene in the affairs of the Five Army Governor's Office.

"During Yongle, Emperor Chengzu's remnants of the Mongol Yuan were attacked in the north and the chaos in Jiaozhi in the south. So he concentrated the elite troops of the garrison to set up the Jing camp until the Battle of Tumu Fort, which was lost all in one go."

On the one hand, Zhu Di started his career with the Jingnan Dynasty and lacked trust in the royal family and military generals. On the other hand, the five military operations of the Mongolian and the southern expedition of Jiaozhi led to the emergence of the Jing camp. At the beginning of the establishment of the Jing camp, its combat effectiveness was strong, and even the Battle of Tumu Fort was not a problem of combat effectiveness.

However, after the Battle of Tumu Fort, the civil servant group completely overwhelmed the group of honorary officials and military generals, and the Jing camp gradually became slaves of honorary officials, civil servants, eunuchs and Jinyiwei in Beijing, and could no longer fight.

"During Jiajing, in order to deal with the Japanese pirates and northern capitulations, this dynasty began to serve as military generals to train camp soldiers, which is the recruitment system. The initial effect was significant, especially famous generals like Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang emerged."

"However, the generals in charge of the camp soldiers soon had the act of eating empty wages and drinking blood to support the family's personal soldiers, and the court also agreed to this for some reasons. Since then, the camp soldiers were unable to fight, and the confrontation had to be carried out by the military generals and the family's personal soldiers. Although the family's personal soldiers dared to fight, they were rare and often submerged by the number of Northern Barbarians and bandits. Therefore, the country has been defeated repeatedly until today."

The emergence of the army soldiers of the camp was an inevitable choice for the garrison system and the Beijing camp to be destroyed one after another. Wang Yi was also very clear about the matter of surplus wages to support the family members, because the army of this era was like this, and even the fifth camp of Dalanshan at this time could not be spared.

The Fifth Battalion of Dalanshan is known as a group of 5,000, but in fact there are only 3,000 people. The other parts are vacantly paid by military generals at all levels to support their family members. The same is true for the Green Camp soldiers on the Qing army. In order to deal with this, the Qing Dynasty had to continuously increase the salary of military generals at all levels to support their integrity. For this reason, it also established a special system.

"Now the Tartars account for eight or nine out of ten in China, and the king's army can't compare with them in any way. Therefore, I think that the key to training troops at the moment is not training soldiers, but trying to improve the combat effectiveness of the camp."

Wang Yi thought for a while, but he still couldn't figure out what Chen Wen was going to do. Then he asked, "Fu Ren, how do you plan to act?"

"If the two Shangguans can trust them, I plan to form a new battalion, use Qi Shaobao to form a law to train troops and rebuild the Qi family army."

After saying this, Chen Wen thought about it. Although the financial situation in Dalanshan was good, he might not dare to do so if Wang Yi asked him to directly take out a thousand military pay and military supplies and put them on him.

"There is no need for too many soldiers in the early stage. It's only 300, and you will get a small success in one month."

"January?" Wang Yi was really shocked as soon as he said this.

Chen Wen's proposal to rebuild the Qi family army was already shocked. This was something he had never expected. It was too sensational to achieve a small success in one month.

"That's right, I have this confidence." As he said that, Chen Wen smiled slightly, and the confidence he was full of intimacy began to infect Wang Yi. "As these days, I have met some heroes from Jinhua Mansion. Many of them are quite familiar with the weapons used by the Mandarin Duck Formation that Qi Shaobao once compiled. I plan to use this as the core to recruit heroes and establish a camp."

Although Chen Wen is still trusting about Wang Yi's character, he naturally has to add a layer of insurance to himself when doing business.

"Zai's ancestors had served under the command of King Qiyang for a long time. King Qiyang was good at training troops, and he was strict in his military management and had strict military disciplines in his troops. Therefore, he was always able to defeat others without fighting."

After blowing up Li Wenzhong, Chen Wen then said: "My ancestors have received the secrets of Qiyang's personal guidance on military training, and have compiled them into a booklet, which my family calls "Wujing's Suicide Letter". Although this book is not on its own, it has been well-known in its heart. After thinking about it, if Qi Shaobao's military writing battle formation is combined with Qiyang's military training theory, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort."

In history, Li Wenzhong was quite talented in military training, and his son Li Jinglong was not only in the military achievements of extermination of Japanese pirates in the Hongwu Dynasty, but also in various places. This is why Chen Wen was determined to put his fabricated background on Li Wenzhong. For this reason, he even fabricated a version of the Ming Dynasty "Wu Mu's suicide note".

"A month later, Wang Jingluo can select any battalion in Siming Mountain to compete with the battalion trained by the same number of soldiers. If the battalion cannot win, he will be willing to be military law!" As he said that, Chen Wenbai fell to the ground.

"So you're serious?"

"You can issue a military order now."

"Okay!" Seeing that Chen Wen was so firm, Wang Yi no longer doubted. Although he had some confidence in Chen Wen's ability, what ultimately prompted him to confirm the great reputation of Li Wenzhong and Qi Jiguang.

"In this case, I appointed Fu Ren as the guerrilla guerrilla in the old camp of Dalanshan, set up a single battalion, organized 500 people, and compete with the central camp in one month."

It's indeed the Central Camp.

"I will obey the order." At this moment, Chen Wen couldn't help but sneer in his heart. In a month, he would ask you military blind people to see the power of the Mandarin Duck Formation.

Wang Yi helped Chen Wen up with both hands and asked with a smile: "I have a question. I wonder if Fu Ren can solve my doubts?"

"It's okay to just say it, but you should know everything and say it all." As the subordinate relationship was determined, Chen Wen's name and claim to Wang Yi also changed accordingly.

"I am very surprised. The Central Camp is full of veterans and has a large organization. Why is Fu Ren unwilling to accept the appointment of the Central Camp?"

Is this necessary to be strange?

Since the decision to rebuild the Qi family army last night, Chen Wen has decided not to accept the real power of any old-style army, unless the army is willing to be dispersed and reorganized by him. However, this is absolutely impossible on Dalan Mountain on the eve of the war.

"The last general is preparing to train troops with Qi Shaobao's military tactics and combat formation. Qi Shaobao's Yuanyang Formation is composed of twelve people, and none of them are missing. Now the Central Camp's wind of eating empty salary and drinking blood has been formed. If the Last General uses this to train the Yuanyang Formation, unless the Central Camp's organization is completely dismantled and all officers are removed, it will definitely not be able to form an army. However, within two months, the Tartars will encircle Siming Mountain. Since this is the case, it is better to stay in the Central Camp and reorganize the first battalion for the royal army."

"So that's the case." Wang Yi smiled. He knew very well that Chen Wen's reason could not be that little, but he didn't intend to explain it thoroughly. "Fu Ren is far-reaching."

Chen Wen bowed and said humbly: "The last thing is just a fool to get it."

"Fu Ren is sure that he can eliminate the trend of empty salary?"

Hearing this question, Chen Wen's eyes immediately became sharp, and he answered firmly: "I will do my best to do it myself and will never let the entrusted by the manager."

"Okay!" Chen Wen's answer made Wang Yi very satisfied. He said firmly: "From now on, all the true colors of the troops under Fu Ren will be paid in full. If anyone dares to be greedy, Fu Ren can report it to his official or Wang Deputy Xian, and he will be severely punished."

After receiving this guarantee, Chen Wen immediately fell to the ground and said loudly: "The last generals thanked the great kindness of the scholars."

After accepting the appointment, Chen Wen had lunch with Wang Yi and discussed some of the current situation during the meal. Chen Wen was not hiding it, and then expressed his own opinions, which made Wang Yi very satisfied.

After dinner, Wang Yi gave Chen Wen the letter he had read to Wang Jiang. After Chen Wen read it, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

I'm so crazy and thinking too much.

The letter did not leave any signatures, and it is said that it was sent by a minor official from Yuyao County. It mentioned that this summer harvest, not only did Yuyao keep all the grain in the warehouse, but the grain and grass from other prefectures and counties in Shaoxing Prefecture were also secretly gathering in Yuyao.

Chen Wen did not doubt the authenticity of this letter, because it recorded that after Wang Yi defeated Shangyu again, "the city in eastern Zhejiang was closed for it during the day. The clerks did not dare to urge rent to tie the people, and they were worried about conserving the city as a blessing, and they all explained it to Chen Chen."

Although some of these were exaggerated words by Huang Zongxi and other Zhejiang Historians, over the past few days, from Shaoxing Prefecture to Dalan Mountain, what they heard and saw along the way made Chen Wen feel that even if this passage is exaggerated, it is impossible to exaggerate. In a chaotic world, there are always the most people with the rat head at both ends. After all, no one will have a grudge against his own lives.

Moreover, most importantly, the Qing army would encircle and suppress Simingshan in September this year, which was indeed true. Although the letter mentioned the abnormal transfer of food and grass, the issue of the transfer of Qing army was not mentioned. This was obviously just a work that would need to be carried out before the transfer of troops. It seemed that the Qing army's early encirclement and suppression should be just a worry.

Seeing that Chen Wen was unmoved at all, Wang Yi mentioned his military operations next month and his determination to stick to Simingshan and his plan to transfer the people if it fails.

Chen Wen saw the former in the book, but was not very optimistic; while the latter had a vague plan in his mind after thinking last night. Therefore, he told Wang Yi that within three days he would give Wang Yi a complete plan, striving to protect Siming Mountain, the largest occupied area of ​​the Ming army in eastern Zhejiang.

After a moment of greeting, Chen Wen stood up and said goodbye.
Chapter completed!
