July 23, after supper.

Chen Wen sat in the room and looked at the book "Ji Xiaoxin" in his hand. Although he has always claimed to rebuild the Qi family army these days, he has never read Qi Jiguang's military books at all. He only knows that some of the things from the Mandarin Duck Formation were obtained when he was on the forum back then. So in the past two days, as long as he has time, he will hold Qi Jiguang's military books and study them carefully. After all, he will rely on these to make a living in the future, so how dare he not care?

However, at this time, Chen Wen's thoughts had already flown out of the sky. This morning, Sun Yu hurriedly came to question him.

After listening to Sun Yu's question, Chen Wen told him directly that friends have the meaning of sharing wealth, so you don't have to. The scraps are the wages for Yi. Besides, Chen Wen bought the fabric from the town, and there was no greedy military supplies. The silver for buying cloth was the reward given by Wang Yi before. As for what kind of reward it was, Sun Yu should know.

When Chen Wen thought of Sun Yu's face that was blocked and speechless, he wanted to laugh. But when he thought about it carefully, the recruitment start-up funds provided by Wang Yi and his private money were thrown together in the past few days after going up the mountain. It is hard to say which ingots of silver are public and which ingots of silver are female, or not, private.

I forgot who said it, it seems that corruption starts with the inseparable public and private.

Thinking of this, Chen Wen calculated the expenses over the past few days, and the more he calculated, he simply put all the money together and calculated the public accounts. Anyway, there will be no private expenses for the time being.

At this moment, Wu Dengke, Yin Yue, Li Ruixin and the two clerks came to meet Chen Wen.

Looking at the stacks of manuscripts they placed in front of the table, Chen Wen knew that the work he had handed over to them had been completed, and his work had just begun.

"General, many people here do not meet Qi Shaobao's recruitment standards. What should I do to recruit them?"

Facing Wu Dengke's questions, Chen Wen knew that these three generals probably had such questions, but Wu Dengke said it earlier.

"In the current situation in Zhejiang, the Tartars occupied almost all prefectures and plains, and the royal army was always squeezed into mountains and islands. Although many people were eager to recover the villages, if the headquarters could not occupy prefectures, they would be just a righteous army in the eyes of the people."

"I know that according to Qi Shaobao's standards for recruiting soldiers, our headquarters should recruit those who are bright, strong, honest and fearful of the government. But now almost all those who are afraid of the government are in the occupied areas of the Tartars. What we left behind are honest people. As for muscles, as long as we eat enough and exercise appropriately, we can still have it."

After yesterday and today's fortune teller's publicity outside the City God Temple in the town, a group of men who were determined to join the army and came to join the army. Every time someone went outside the gate to ask to join the camp to participate in the assessment, Chen Wen hung up for an hour, just to leave more patient people.

Until today at supper, the last batch of candidates who were waiting to be selected completed the assessment. Chen Wen left behind a group of honest men as much as possible, while those who were not selected were invited to have a full meal and sent out of the old camp.

However, many of the people who stayed were relatively thin. After all, in this chaotic world, many honest and honest people couldn't eat enough. Although Chen Wen could not afford the orc recipe that could be made of meat per pound a day, he could still last for one or two months for three or four taels a day. Anyway, he didn't need to worry about money for the time being. Chen Wen believed that as long as he had enough food for muscles and the military training that was about to begin, he could really have it.

"The three brothers and two gentlemen all know that Wang Jingluo gave me a 5,000 taels of silver to settle the family, and now it exists in the bank of the old camp. Which family of the righteous army has a settlement fee these days? Therefore, this general did not state the list of recruitment, in order to recruit a group of righteous men who really want to fight the Tartars. Even if they are thinner now, I am willing to let them have enough food. When the training is done, it will definitely be better than recruiting some battalions."

"General wise." After getting the answer, the three officers bowed conscientiously, and the next question they were originally going to ask had already been answered.

Chen Wen smiled and said, "This is actually Mr. Gu's inspiration for me."

Mr. Gu is the older Tong Sheng, whose name is Gu Shouli. This person initially gave Chen Wen the impression that he was a sour scholar who failed many times. However, after that day he took the initiative to investigate the people who were the leader of the soldiers in the camp, Chen Wen believed more that a person's luck and IQ might be innate, but his experience could change many things, especially his ability. So he finally decided to give priority to recruiting honest people rather than muscle-developed strong men.

After comforting the three thousand generals and the young scholar away, Chen Wen pointed to the various rosters and said to Gu Shouli: "Mr. Gu, I guess you have already achieved success in your heart, right?"

"Students understand that they will do without any trace."

Chen Wen laughed. "Talking to smart people is easy."

Next, Chen Wen first drew out the two lists of cavalry and archers recommended by Li Ruixin and placed them on Gu Shouli's table. Gu Shouli quickly compared them according to the marked roster he had made before, and then wrote the planned list on another piece of paper.

Secondly, Chen Wen put forward the list of rattan players and long players recommended by Wu Dengke and Yin Yue, and put them together with the list of captains he had previously planned, and listed them according to his hometown. These people will be the captains and sergeant commanders in the battle formation, and are the most grassroots officers.

Again, Chen Wen sorted out the list of wolves, spearmen and palladium boring players according to their hometowns, and made a whole table. After Gu Quanli finished the cavalry and archers, he broke up and reorganized the people who were always together according to the roster in his hands.

Then, Chen Wen matched Gu Shouli's list of the reorganized soldiers of the Yuanyang formation and the fire soldiers to the captain and the squad leader, designed the list of each Yuanyang formation in the camp, and arranged a sentry leader for them.

Finally, Chen Wen and Gu Quanli jointly reviewed the entire list. After the review, the useless manuscript was burned to pieces.

It took almost no time for Chen Wen and Gu Shouli to complete the list. It was not that the two of them had a tacit understanding, but more that Gu Quanli could keep up with Chen Wen's rhythm, which made him suddenly feel like he had picked up a treasure.

Chen Wen poured a glass of water for Gu Shouli, and then said to him: "Thank you Mr. Gu, I have two positions in my hands that you and Mr. Qi need to serve you. One job is to be responsible for military supplies and military preparations in the battalion, and the other is to be responsible for the documents in the battalion. You can choose first."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shouli quickly put down the teacup and bowed his hand. He knew it was a reward and a test. "The student is old and is responsible for military supplies and military preparations, for fear that the calculations will be wrong and the general's major affairs will be misleading."

Are you not afraid of writing mistakes in the documents?

Chen Wen's two options are: military supplies and military equipment are poor. Even if Chen Wen keeps a close eye, he still has room for greed. He has never heard of military supplies and starves to death before soldiers. Although the copywriter has no good fortune, he is a close minister and aide to the general, and his future will be even greater.

"Okay, Mr. Gu will be responsible for the copywriting, Mr. Qi will be responsible for the military supplies and military preparations. Tomorrow, the list of officers will be announced together. Mr. Gu can report to Mr. Qi in advance."

Gu Shouli's choice is very suitable for Chen Wen's needs. Gu Shouli himself has rich experience and has handled the documents well in the past two days, which is very suitable for the copywriting work. Although the scholar named Qi is very immature, he can be said to be a piece of white paper. As long as he is well written, he may not be able to become a clean official. Of course, if you have the opportunity, you should still let Sun Yu brainwash him.

At this time, Gu Shouli raised the question he wanted to raise when he was making the list. "General, why are all the personnel of this armored whistle composed of officers and soldiers from Jinhua Prefecture and Taizhou Prefecture?"

Among Chen Wen's army, there are the largest number of people from Jinhua Prefecture and Taizhou Prefecture, which is so large that even local people from Shaoxing in Ningbo cannot compete with him. In addition to the reason why Chen Wen screened during the recruitment stage, it is more important that Chen Wen's slogan to rebuild the Qi family army is more attractive to the men in these two prefectures. After all, the original Qi family army was composed of soldiers from these two prefectures, especially Jinhua.

Chen Wen smiled and replied: "The battle formation is not a copywriting. The general's army needs an elite force that can be determined. This elite force will be placed in the most important time and place on the battlefield to win the victory for the entire army. The four teams of the armored post are all composed of officers and soldiers from the same office. Their cohesion is stronger than other troops and their combat effectiveness will be higher."

After saying this, Gu Shouli quickly understood Chen Wen's intention. The reason why Chen Wen wanted to disperse the personnel was not only to prevent soldiers who were already in groups from challenging the authority of the officers, but more importantly, to prevent officers from becoming bigger and threatening his status. Although the armored post was composed of officers and soldiers from a single prefecture, it would also be restrained by several other posts. Moreover, the armored post itself was composed of two teams from Jinhua and two teams from Taizhou, and it also had the effect of restraining each other.

But Gu Shouli didn't know that Chen Wen had the most important reason for doing this. From the beginning of planning this army, he always put forward the slogan of rebuilding the Qi family army. Since this is the case, he would have to build a model army like the Qi family army back then. Even if it could not be copied all due to the problem of the troops, he would have to copy some of them.

Chen Wen's current reputation is not enough to support an image that allows all soldiers to willingly fight to the death with any enemy under his banner.

In ancient times, generally speaking, this image was achieved by relying on the qualities of the generals to be constantly reflected in the hearts of soldiers. For example, if a general must fight first in every battle, most of his soldiers are willing to follow him and fight together. However, this is a bit difficult for Chen Wen, and with his pitiful force, he really cannot generate confidence, even if he has much advantage in height and weight than the ancients of this era.

Therefore, from the beginning, Chen Wen had to rely on Qi Jiguang's reputation to highlight him. Only in this way can he have the confidence to confront the elite green camps in Zhejiang in more than a month. Of course, as long as he could win the first battle, the reputation he borrowed would become a part of him and began to expand like a snowball on his body. At that time, the army was truly integrated with him.

Chen Wen had no self-deprecating about this, who made him not have the aura of domineering power? If that thing is there, as long as the tiger's body is shocked, the brave little brother will bow his head and bow down, and the stunning beauty will throw himself into his arms and give him martial arts secrets. Is it so troublesome to use it now?

"So that's how it is. The general is far-reaching and the students admire him very much." After that, Gu Shouli bowed his hand.

"Mr. Gu praised it. These are just the necessary knowledge and ways of thinking for a warrior. Mr. Gu should not praise it."

After saying that, Chen Wen stroked the formal list and felt the touch of his fingers slashing across the surface of the manuscript paper.

"This is the foundation for me to sweep the world, and it is also the seed of the military group I want to establish, and it is also the early reliance for me to expel the Tartars and restore China in the future. I will let you grow into towering trees, and I will never let you live up to my expectations."

After leaving Chen Wen's door, Gu Shouli wiped the sweat from his forehead, half excited and half panic.

After sorting all the required military supplies into a book, Chen Wen rushed to the central army hall to meet Wang Yi and Wang Jiang. After meeting, Chen Wen immediately handed them the list and the required military details.

Wang Yi originally planned to return the list to Chen Wen after taking a look. According to convention, as a civil servant in the military inspector, he did not need to know the details of the officers and soldiers under the generals, and only as long as he ensured that this general could fight for the Ming Dynasty and not rebel. However, there was still a problem with this list, which forced him to speak out.

"Fu Ren, I remember that the rank of you is 500. Why did you recruit 342 people? And..." Wang Yi flipped the list. "And this also included the officers, documents, and chefs, including you. It is so difficult to recruit soldiers near Dalan Mountain now? Or are your requirements too high?"

Hearing this, Wang Jiang also raised his head and asked in surprise: "No, no one has come to the ten taels of silver for the Affiliate Fee now?" That image did not look like a third-rank official at all, but it was clearly a very meticulous accountant.

Chen Wen secretly complained about occupational disease in his heart, so he hurriedly bowed and answered the questions of the two Shangguans.

"The matter of An Jiafu was not mentioned in the recruitment list. I plan to inform you tomorrow, and the money will not be given until one month later. Because there is only more than a month left, I will decide to recruit a group of real righteous men, rather than soldiers who are in the army just to eat food and get salary."

Seeing that things were not important, Wang Jiang continued to study Chen Wen's military filing application details, while Wang Yi knew very well what Chen Wen said meant for more than a month. He thought about it but didn't say anything about this question anymore.

After a while, after carefully reviewing the military application details, Wang Jiang, who was familiar with the reserves in the old camp arsenal, spoke up.

"There are long cards, rattan cards, waist knives, long spears, and sabers in the arsenal. There are no horse oars, can I use a riding rifle?" Seeing Chen Wen nodding in agreement, Wang Jiang continued: "These will be given to you tomorrow morning. Flag guns, wolf silos, boring and pointed shoulder poles are already being manufactured or modified according to your previous requirements. Let the craftsmen work overtime tonight, and they should be able to complete them. There is no wealth in a cannon, and you can give you twenty fire guns. The others can be filled with bows and arrows. In addition to the necessary projectiles, gunpowder and arrows required during the training period, they should be used to fire them at any time."

"Military uniforms, harnesses, gourds, military shoes, underwear, straw raincoats, hats, leggings, bedding and other items will be sent to your camp tomorrow morning." Wang Jiang frowned when he looked at the following items. "Military horses, saddles, horse whips, and helmets will be delivered tomorrow morning. The armor only has cloth armor, and it cannot be given to you now. In Zhejiang weather, your soldiers cannot wear it now, which is not conducive to preservation. It is temporarily stored in the arsenal, and those three chain mails will also be tomorrow morning."

"As for these training equipment..." Wang Jiang looked over and over again, and then said, "I will ask the people from the Construction Department to get it out within three days."

"I will thank the strategy for the end, Deputy Xian." Chen Wen bowed and bowed. He knew that he could get the vast majority of military supplies so happily, and that Wang Yi and Wang Jiang must be filled with the expectations of him.
