After lunch, Chen Wen immediately handed over the two newly-employed clerks a job and compiled a roster.

In terms of emotion, when a person and others are written on a piece of paper or a notebook, there is a relationship between them. If these people who are written together get along with each other day and night, this relationship will quickly turn into feelings. A marriage certificate or a marriage certificate of this era has this effect in addition to supporting evidence, and when used in the military camp, it is the feeling of charity.

Besides, this list will also be the basis for Chen Wen's construction of the military system, rewards and punishments for soldiers, so even if the people have not yet recruited them, things must be done quickly.

As the main general, Chen Wen of this list may not have his own name, but to set an example, he wrote down the resume he made up and took out several times on the first page of the manuscript.

After writing, Chen Wen looked at the manuscript paper in front of him, and couldn't recall anything else he had made up for others.

So he turned to the two documents and said, "Name, name, font size, ancestral home, origin, parents, wife, children, and their professions and specialties. These must be recorded and copied. When the recruitment of soldiers is over, the two gentlemen will also leverage these drafts on several different lists. This is the fundamental event of our department. I hope the two gentlemen will act carefully."

"Students will live up to the general's entrustion." The young scholar immediately responded, but the older boy turned his eyes while responding, as if he was thinking about something.

At this time, the three Qianmai generals also came back. Chen Wen had previously given them the task of asking the soldiers who had eaten to return to their residence and standby. This matter was obviously completed.

Afterwards, Chen Wen ordered the three officers to answer their resumes according to the questions asked by the two documents, and recorded them as if they were practicing. In this way, Wu Dengke and Li Ruixin were fine, but Yin Ergou became a problem. Originally, Chen Wen was already considering giving Yin Ergou a better name, such as Yin Zhiping, who was determined to rebuild peace, wouldn’t it be great? In this case, it would be nice to make contributions and get promoted to the position in the future.

However, when it was his turn, he opened his mouth and answered "Yin Yue, the axe, hook and fork, no font size", which surprised Chen Wen quite.

As a result, I found out after asking that the person I knew was either called Ergou Brother or Ergou Brother. Since everyone was used to calling him, he had never forced a correction. However, now that he became an officer and had to record it, he certainly had to emphasize this, so that he would not be able to bless him if he went to the battlefield in the future.

Li Ruixin was not surprised that he was still unquestionable. However, Wu Dengkosi thought about it and then made up for him. "Brother Ergou, why haven't I heard of your name?"

When Yin Yue heard this, he immediately retorted: "Brother Wu, how many years have we known each other? Go and ask the Zhou brothers, what did my father call me when my family worshiped the ancestors? The Zhou brothers are my neighbors. He must know that they were urinating and mud."

Seeing that he attached so much importance to this matter, Chen Wen suddenly felt a little grateful. If Li Dingguo had already obtained the privilege of the fake yellow axe at this time, with the degree of importance this guy attached to it, he would most likely emphasize that his axe was the fake yellow axe.

Soon, the two documents were recorded. They saw that Chen Wen had no time to use them, so after paying a salute, they went to the barracks to record the origins of the soldiers.

The two clerks left Chen Wen's room, and there were only the three officers left in the room. Chen Wen immediately took out a written preparation plan and placed it on the table, signaling them to take it to read it themselves.

I saw these three Qianmao look at me and I look at you. In the end, Yin Yue picked up the plan. Then, after Chen Wen's word "安" was released, Yin Yue began to read the document aloud.

"One...four...one...one...twelve people,...one...one, one...two, two, one...one...one."

Listening to Yin Yue stuttering a lot of numbers, Chen Wen had almost sprayed out the water he had just drunk. If he asked him to continue reading, those who didn't know would think that the secret code was being received in the room.

Seeing this, he had to ask for the plan. With Yin Yue's expression of shame, he began to recite: "One squad, one squad, one twelve teams, one captain, two squad leader, eight squadron soldiers, and one fire soldiers. I was determined to rebuild the Qi family army. This mandarin duck formation is the basic formation of our unit. Do you have any objections to this configuration?"

The organization Chen Wen took out was the basic organization of the Qi family army's Yuanyang Formation. Whether it was the south when fighting against the Japanese invaders or the north when fighting against Mongolian cavalry, although the weapons of the Qi family army had changed, the number of people in a single Yuanyang Formation team had never changed. What changed was the number of teams per sentry, the cold ** grouping method and weapon composition.

Yin Yue and Li Ruixin had no objection to this, while Wu Dengke just frowned.

So Chen Wen continued to read. "The captain held a flag gun and a waist knife, the sergeant held a long-brand waist knife, the other held a rattan waist knife and a javelin, the four soldiers held a long-brand waist knife, the two held a wolf's wolves, the two held a bored palladium bow and arrow, and the fire soldiers held a pointed shoulder pole. Is there any problem?"

Wu Dengke thought for a while and said, "General, your organization and weapon configuration were used by Qi Shaobao when he fought against the Japanese. Now we are facing the Tartars, why not use the Northern Mandarin Duck Formation that can restrain the cavalry?"

Hearing this question, Chen Wen glanced at it, Yin Yue showed a puzzled expression like Wu Dengke, while Li Ruixin looked like he wanted to speak but stopped.

Fortunately, Chen Wen had expected this problem, and he said: "Brother Wu and Brother Yin have never been to the north. There is a flat horse, and the Tatars' cavalry can charge in groups. But we are now in Zhejiang, where the water nets are crisscrossed, hills are dense, and the roads are narrow. Even if the Tatars use cavalry, it is difficult for them to charge in groups. For a long time, the royal army and the Tatars fought more in infantry battles, so I think the Mandarin duck formation to fight against the Japanese in the south is more suitable."

Qi Jiguang's mandarin duck formation has appeared from fighting against the Japanese in the south to facing the Mongolian cavalry in the north. Among them, the second type of firearms and cold weapons is not very effective, so it quickly became a form of killer teams and firearms. The organization has also changed from the four-four system in the south to more flexible use in the north, and it is easier to cooperate with the three-three systems of horse camp and chariot camp.

"Of course, all three brothers know that. I will always follow the good deeds. If you have any questions, you must raise them for discussion. This matter is related to the life and death of our department. Don't be stingy."

Seeing that Wu Dengke and Yin Yue had no objection, Chen Wen turned to Li Ruixin and asked: "Brother Li, what do you think? Tell me and everyone will discuss it."

Li Ruixin obviously expected Chen Wenhui to ask him and said without hesitation: "I think there is no problem with the general's idea of ​​using the Mandarin Duck Formation of Qi Shaobao when he fought against the Japanese in the south, but some details are still discussed."

"Brother Li, but it's okay."

"For example, the general's idea of ​​carrying javelins with rattan players, and the pillar drivers with bows and arrows is correct. This way, he can cooperate with the firearms team to kill and injure the enemy before the battle. In humble opinion, our unit is full of recruits. Although many people have martial arts skills, isn't it too complicated to practice two weapons at the same time?"

According to common sense, rattan cards hold javelins, long guns hold bows and arrows, and palladium boring hands should hold rockets. However, Dalanshan does not have high-tech products like rockets, so Chen Wen settled for the second best plan to replace them with bows and arrows. However, after Li Ruixin mentioned this, he suddenly realized that there was not much time left for him, and the Qing army would be encircled and suppressed for more than a month. Now, practicing so many weapons will only make too many things to chew.

"Then expand the archer organization, and the soldiers of the Yuanyang formation temporarily practice one weapon." Chen Wen glanced at Wu Dengke and Yin Yue, and saw that they had no objection, he signaled Li Ruixin to continue.

"For example, Qi Shaobao's mandarin duck formation, the front row of the sword and shield squad is composed of a long card player and a rattan player. Bei Zhi feels that the Tartars we are facing now are very different from those facing Qi Shaobao. Japanese pirates use bird guns, Mongolian tartars use bows and arrows, while the Tartars we face are not only bird guns and bows and arrows, but also use heavy projection weapons such as flying knives, flying axes and javelins."

"These weapons are nothing to long players, but rattan players cannot resist them. So I thought it would be better to change rattan players to long players, so that the two long players can better protect the soldiers in the back row from the damage of the Tartar projecting weapons."

"No!" Chen Wenshang was thinking, and Wu Dengke immediately objected. "Brother Li, you have never seen the Mandarin Duck Formation, so you are not very clear. The existence of this long card and rattan card is not only for the long card player to resist the enemy's projection weapon, but more importantly, the long card player pushes the entire formation forward."

"But the clumsy long cards will inevitably affect the movements of long cards, and the existence of rattan players can protect the long cards from the attacks of Tartars. This is why Qi Shaobao has strict requirements on the size and skills of long cards and rattan players."

"If all the long cards are long cards, the long spearmen of the Tartars rushed forward. As long as they could hold up the wolf's wolves and the sword and shield soldiers took the opportunity to roll over, the long cards would be in danger. If the long cards were killed, how would the formation move forward? Who would come to resist the projecting weapon? Therefore, the front row must be long cards and rattan cards to cooperate with each other."

When Chen Wen was thinking about the scene designed by Wu Dengke, Yin Yue said: "Since it has affected the movement, it is better to make the long card bigger. Anyway, we should use vertical array to reduce the damage of projectile weapons before joining the formation."

"Long-Direction? If the Tartars fired, although they couldn't make sure, if they hit the long-distance player with one shot, what should they do? Will they all die?"

artillery?

Chen Wen suddenly discovered that he had never thought about this problem. Whether Qi Jiguang was fighting against the Japanese in the south or fighting against the Mongolian cavalry in the north, his opponents seemed to have no such high-tech artillery.

In his impression, the development of firearms in the Ming Dynasty in this era was always catching up with the West, and some products that surpassed their Western counterparts appeared. However, this Avenue of Light was still interrupted by the Qing Dynasty's theory that all high-tech products were "ridiculous" except for riding and shooting, so that during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Qing army was still using artillery cast by the Ming Dynasty to resist the Taiping Army.

Thinking about this, Chen Wen recalled how the Europeans' square formation fought against artillery in this era. After thinking about it, it seemed that they had to resist this path. Even in the Napoleon era, it was like that. It hurts to think about it. In this way, Qi Jiguang's vertical formation was more cost-effective.

Seeing the three officers quarreled, the more they talked, the more chaotic Chen Wen, who was as big as a fight, immediately slapped the table. "It's enough."

The three officers were stunned and immediately fell to the ground, saying that they were guilty of death. Chen Wen helped them up and said, "There is no complete solution in this world. The artillery thing can be withstood by the city wall. Can we only hide behind the city wall? We still have to use the vertical formation. Anyway, the aiming skills of the Tartar artillery are not very good, so we can only bet that they can't beat it."

The Qing Dynasty was not completely without artillery. It had already begun to imitate the artillery of the Ming Dynasty as early as the era of Huang Taiji, but the effect was very average. It was not until Kong Youde defected and Jinzhou fell that the Qing Dynasty completely added two artillery on the chessboard. However, neither Kong Youde nor Zu Dashou, their aiming skills were learned, and they seemed too amateur compared to those European mercenary instructors who were killed by Kong Youde in Dengzhou.

"The front row still has long cards with rattan cards. The long cards are covered with cowhide. The rattan cards should be thicker as much as possible without affecting the movement. This will be told to Wang Jingluo." After saying this, Chen Wen asked: "Is there anything else to say about weapon configuration?"

Li Ruixin thought for a while and said, "General, our army cannot have only the Mandarin duck formation, but also the cooperation of cavalry and firearm teams."

"I have thought about this question and asked Wang Jingluo that there are few muskets in the old camp arsenal, and there is no cannon. Those things have been issued to the first five battalions long ago. The projection troops should use archers first. As for the cavalry..."

Hearing the word "cavalry", Li Ruixi immediately raised his ears and heard Chen Wen say, "Jingluo Wang only promised to give twenty horses first and train a scout team first."

Speaking of this, Chen Wen pretended to be hesitant, and then said to Li Ruixin firmly: "The scout team and archers are responsible for General Li Qian. In the past two days, General Li Qian has been selecting soldiers suitable for scouts and archers in the camp. Those who know how to use muskets and cannons must also be selected, and this matter must be done."

"As for the order of humble duties." Li Ruixin, who had won the first prize, immediately bowed and said.

"Mr. Wu Qian, Mr. Yin Qian."

"I am in a humble position."

"You two are responsible for the training of the Mandarin Duck Formation. In the past two days, you will give me a list of candidates suitable for long players, rattan players, wolf wicket players, spear players and palladium drivers. I will hand over the general's dignified formation to you."

"A humble position will never let down the general's entrustedness." Wu Dengke, who was comforted, bowed quickly and answered.

"That..." Yin Yue glanced at Wu Dengke and then said, "General, I don't know how to write." Hearing this, Li Ruixin, who was already very arrogant, suddenly changed his face.

Yes?

Why did I find three illiterate officers to be the commanding officers?

Chen Wen took a deep breath and said, "I will lend you those two documents temporarily. Remember to respect others when speaking, you are a scholar after all."

"As for the order!" This time the answer seemed full of confidence.

Seeing the three officers full of confidence, Chen Wen said, "The three brothers know that our troops now only have 500 soldiers. This general has already issued a military order with Wang Jingluo. In a month, he must win all the battle with the Central Camp. If he wins beautifully, it is not impossible for the fifth battalion to follow the front, back, middle and left and right sides of the army."

Upon hearing this, Li Ruixin frowned slightly, and his face was a little unnatural. Seeing this, Chen Wen immediately said: "I know that both cavalry and archers need a long time to train. Li Qian doesn't have to worry. I will explain it to Wang Jingluo."

Hearing Chen Wen's words, Li Ruixin replied without hesitation: "Please rest assured, this month, even if you don't eat or sleep, you will train the scouts and archers, and you will never let down the general's entrustedness."

"No need to force it, just do your best." Then, Chen Wen turned to Wu Dengke and Yin Yue and asked, "Mr. Wu Qian, Mr. Yin Qian, how about you two?"

The two of them looked at each other and immediately said, "I will never let go of the general's entrustedness, and I will definitely not dare to insult Qi Shaobao's reputation." The confidence in the words was beyond words.

I am also very confident in Qi Jiguang, otherwise who would be so careless to issue a military order?

Just after the three officers left with the mission, Chen Wen welcomed the two documents again.

"General, this is the entire record of the 213 people who have entered the camp now. I plan to copy it after you have reviewed it." As he said that, the two documents respectfully placed the manuscript paper on the table in front of Chen Wen.

Chen Wen flipped through a few random pictures, with neat handwriting and writing the content according to his requirements, and then praised: "The handwriting and detailed content, the two gentlemen are really fast."

"What a small matter, what's the point." The older Tong Sheng bowed and came over immediately. "General, this list is arranged in order by me. Anyone with two dots under the name is the leader among the few people behind or dozens of people."

Hearing this, Chen Wen immediately raised his head, frowned and stared at the two intellectuals in front of him, and then asked lightly: "Who is your idea?"

The older Tong Sheng obviously had expected Chen Wen to ask this question, and replied calmly: "It's the student's idea."

"The students also have a share in this matter. Please don't blame the general."

Blame?

Seeing that the young scholar's expression was not as fake, Chen Wen smiled and said, "It turns out that the fellow countrymen know how to think carefully for me. The two gentlemen are willing."

"Don't dare."

Don't you dare to do it too? As expected, Jiang is still so hot. Chen Wen originally thought that this older boy failed to get the exam many times, and he was probably just a corrupt scholar, but now he looked down on him. But that young scholar still seemed too immature and needed time to cultivate.

"The two gentlemen are both great talents and are easy to do in the future. If there is any contribution, I will ask the court for the two gentlemen."

Upon hearing this, the two of them immediately showed joy and bowed to respond, "Students will never let down the general's high expectations."

Then, Chen Wen told them about the arrangements for the three Qiang Presidents, and the two of them immediately did not show any displeasure.

At supper, under the influence of the aroma of cooked fat meat, the morale of Chen Wen's army rose to a new peak. After all, for these poor men, the days when they can eat enough and eat meat have been too long, too long.
