Since the four provincial capitals suppressed, Chen Wen has recovered three prefectures, Yanzhou, Wenzhou and Taizhou, as well as three counties including Yushan, 12?? Mountain, Qingtian. In addition, more than 10,000 Jiangxi anti-Qing rebels and nearly 10,000 Green Camp soldiers including Zhang Zisheng, Taizhou Ma Xin, Wenzhou Hu Laijin, etc., were successively put into effect, which was not much smaller than the 20,000 troops he had at that time.

Indigestion, especially a large number of new recruits, will lead to a decline in combat effectiveness, which is a problem that Chen Wen must face.

Zhang Zisheng's rebel army, Chen Wen first eliminated the elderly, weak, women and children, and also organized a large number of Confucian scholars into civil servant training classes. The remaining strong men and soldiers were not even satisfied with one battalion. Chen Wen clearly remembered that when he saw this passage in the report of the recruit training camp, in addition to the sadness he felt for these rebels, the rest was a sense of responsibility.

Like Chen Wen, before Zhang Zisheng became the only slightly regular rebel army left on the ground of Jiangxi since Jiangxi Governor Jie Chongxi and others were captured and killed by the Qing army. They did not lose their targeted encirclement, but instead survived. However, due to the deterioration of the local situation, they joined the Ming army in Zhejiang, which made Chen Wen's heart aroused the idea of ​​taking these Jiangxi children back to their hometown, and he believed that this was also the desire of these Jiangxi children themselves.

Most of these new recruits in Jiangxi were quite hard-working in training, which may have a lot to do with the sense of crisis caused by their long-term pursuit and encirclement by various Qing troops. However, due to convention, it is inevitable to break up the group. Chen Wen had already solicited Zhang Zisheng's opinions on this matter, and he had no objection to it. Even the original officers in his hands seemed to be angry and did not jump out to oppose it.

However, not objecting is not objecting. Many of the fifty generals under Zhang Zisheng who were in charge of one or two hundred men, women, and young and old could not change their habits as rebels for a while - oppressing soldiers and winning over heroes. One of them was punished for violating the regulations and actually climbed to the top of the number of punishments in just a few months, and it was very stance that he surpassed An Youfu's record when he was on Dalan Mountain and Tiantai Mountain.

"Brother Zhang, these are the officers you brought, and most of them will be difficult to enter the camp for a while."

When he handed the punishment record to Zhang Zisheng, Chen Wen couldn't help but sigh. Although his subordinates were mixed at the beginning, they were brought out by example and brainwashing. Later, when the army was expanded, they recruited either farmers or miners and officers, and most of the obedience to military law was deeply rooted. Even Zhang Yida was actually just a soldier who was garrisoned when he violated military law. Later, after being promoted to an officer, he looked far less restricted than those under Zhang Zisheng's long-term military law, and it was difficult to develop a thorough obedience for a while.

However, Zhang Zisheng's rebel army was the first large-scale anti-Qing rebel army to be effective. Even if it was just to use them as horse bones, Chen Wen could not do things too much, so we still have to see Zhang Zisheng's reaction this time.

"If you go back to the general, you will have a past with them when you are resting, and you have heard of it. These officers and generals were not in charge enough at the beginning, and all the crimes were on the generals. I hope the generals can give them another chance."

After saying that, Zhang Zisheng fell to the ground. On the contrary, Chen Wen was already prepared and helped him up before he could completely bow down.

"Brother Zhang, if you bring them to me, I will naturally be responsible for it. However, our army's laws are strict, and the punishments in the martial arts school and the recruit training camp are relatively low. If they enter the camp now, they will be afraid that they will make a fuss in the end."

The major case just happened in the Ming army in Zhejiang, and Chen Wen used this to reiterate the inability to violate military law. Zhang Zisheng naturally understood these things, and the matter of breaking up and reorganization was determined by the two of them before, so there was no need to doubt that Chen Wen used this to separate and disintegrate. Moreover, Zhang Zisheng also knew that if it were not for Chen Wen, his "army" would have been wiped out long ago. This time, he came to the scene with the plan to follow Chen Wen back to his hometown, especially after seeing the military appearance of the Ming army in Zhejiang, looking back at the soldiers he brought out, the thoughts of Zizhen were extinguished, especially Chen Wen would never treat him poorly now.

"The Grand General, since the last general has joined the army, everything will obey the Grand General's military orders. Even the former generals are now subordinates of the Grand General. They are just past relationships with the Grand General and have nothing to do with the class in the army. Everything will naturally obey the Grand General's arrangements."

Zhang Zisheng's meaning is very clear. In the future, he has no actual relationship with his former subordinates, at most he has had a friendship. How these former subordinates are arranged is Chen Wen. He will not interfere, nor will he interfere. He only hopes that Chen Wen can treat them equally and bring these Jiangxi Hanzi so that they can kill them back to their hometown in their lifetime.

"Then follow the rules of the martial arts school and the recruit training camp, and re-training training must be carried out, and they must be trained like other officers."

"Yes, I will thank the Grandmaster for them."

The problems of Zhang Zisheng's subordinates are actually simple. After several months of training, the newly built Yushan and Chun'an Second Battalion have also completed basic joint training, but the cavalry battalion and mule army are far from being formed.

The reason is nothing special. These two combat barracks are a brand new attempt for the Ming army in Zhejiang. Unlike the combat barracks that mainly use infantry, cavalry, artillery, and crafts as auxiliary mixed military units, they have already gained mature theoretical and practical experience in training. According to Chen Wen's view, these two troops are still difficult to fight with the army within a year or two.

The battalion officer of Chun'an Camp has taken office. Today, he recruited Zhang Zisheng to come and his studies have completed the preliminary assessment. Chen Wen did not intend to leave him in the martial arts school for too long, so as not to be afraid of being afraid of other Qing troops who were willing to serve the Qing army. The preliminary training of Yushan Camp was completed, and Zhang Zisheng took office early tomorrow morning, and in the future he brought this battle camp trained according to the Zhejiang Ming army's teachings to fight with the Qing army there.

After asking some questions, Chen Wen was quite satisfied with Zhang Zisheng. After all, he was a military general who had been in the guild and had studied books and did not need to take literacy classes. As long as he studied warfare techniques, military laws, regulations, and familiar with the military process, he could barely use it. Compared to the surrendered general Ni Liangxu who entered the martial arts lecture school last year, the illiterate person who didn't know a big word is too relaxed.

Of course, more importantly, there is more or less a difference between the leader of the rebel army who actively seeks to succeed and the surrendered generals who are entrusted by others.

According to the plan, the two battalions of Yushan and Chun'an will have to conduct training in Jinhua Prefecture for a period of time to strengthen the running-in between officers and soldiers. Unfortunately, Taizhou and Wenzhou did not take advantage for a long time. After Hong Chengchou fully understood the situation, he immediately jumped out, just like a conditioned reflex.

"Brother Zhang, you probably have to take Yushan Camp with me to Yushan County to garrison and fight, while running in."

"The last one will follow the command of the commander!"

……………………

Yushan County, Guangxin Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, has a subtropical humid climate based on later generations. The climate is warm, with sufficient light, abundant rainfall, and a long frost-free period, which is quite conducive to the growth of crops. Yushan County is located at the easternmost end of Guangxin Prefecture, adjacent to Quzhou in Zhejiang and Jianning Prefecture in Fujian. Although it is comparable to those in the Poyang Lake area west of Fucheng, the vegetation has always been very lush.

Wencheng Town, west of the county town, is located at the intersection of Bingxi River and Yulang River. This place is only a few miles away from the county town, but it is already the westernmost end of the Ming army's departure here.

After the four provinces suppressed the capitals, the Ming army was defeated and invaded the Qing army and occupied this place. Logically speaking, the sphere of influence should be expanded westward as much as possible. However, the Ming army in Zhejiang had few cavalry, which was fewer than the Qing army's heavy defenses. The distance between the Qing army was only fifty and sixty miles away was much different in strategy and tactical movement speed and mobilization force. In order to prevent and assist, the Shentang Camp temporarily stationed here only reduced its scope in the deployment and stopped at the western gate of Yushan County.

In Wencheng Town, the Ming army stationed a sentry infantry here, with a small number of cavalry, artillery and some engineers used to build fortifications. The major case reported two days ago had been routine here, and even the military supervisor rushed over the next day, and finally maintained the morale of the army.

After the officers left, everything was as usual. The Ming army in Zhejiang was strict in military discipline, and the garrisons did not even have fun harassing the people by other Ming army or Qing army. Although they were much bored, they looked like King Yue and the army of Qi Shuai reappeared in the world. They were less afraid of these soldiers and more kind-hearted.

"I said this military master, the imperial court, well, when will the marquis drive away the Tartars? The people who collect taro in the palace can't get through, and they are still hoping to sell more money and exchange for food."

"Yes, everyone knows that An Yuanhou is leading a real king's army, and we are all waiting."

The people in the town were actually just a small soldier, and they were also a new recruit, but this new recruit was easy to talk to, especially compared to the veteran who had just been convenient for him.

"We don't know this. But the chief of the whistleblower said that whenever the marquis said, we will attack whenever we attack. Our kingly army, who is truly invincible and invincible, is talking about a command and a clear distinction between rewards and punishments."

Speaking of orders and prohibitions, the recruits did not have much emotion. However, when it comes to clear rewards and punishments, the look was very contradictory - they were not willing to recall the past, but also had a longing for the future, and they were getting stronger and stronger.

"Ahem."

A light cough sounded, and when several people saw that the veteran was back, they carried the shoulder poles and the hoes scattered. In front of the town archway that was chattering just now, only the new recruit was still distracted.

"What do you do when you say so much to those households? They just listen to it. You have to say something you shouldn't say, so that the military judge will know that you will suffer."

"What I said is, I have written it down." He bowed his hand to thank him, but raised his head, the young recruit couldn't help but be curious about being aroused just now. Perhaps there was more of the desire for military merit.

When will I attack, how can I know, an ordinary soldier?

Having said that, the veteran didn't want to fall into the limelight. After pondering for a moment, he said to the recruit: "I heard that the Tartars in Taizhou and Wenzhou in Zhejiang have surrendered. According to convention, when the weather is cooler after autumn, they always have to send troops to fight. There has not been an order yet. Maybe they don't send troops from us this year."

"Ah? Then there is no war, but when will you get military merits?"

Do you think I don’t want these?

The veteran was a little impatient, but when he looked at the new recruit's performance, he immediately remembered himself. He turned to think about his words and decided to persuade him. However, before he could speak, he felt a stinging pain near the sun, and his brain instantly lost control of his body. The moment before his eyes were pitch black, he saw that the whole world seemed to be tilting.

"Enemy attack!"

……………………

"There are only one or two hundred bandits in the town, and the nearest reinforcements are just this number. This place is several miles away from the main force of the bandit garrison. When they react, we will have to slaughter the town long ago. Do we need to be so cautious?"

The Qing army that came to attack Wencheng Town came from two units. One was the Green Camp of Guangxin Prefecture, Jiangxi, which was a local local snake, and had a very good understanding of the terrain and geographical location. The other was the cavalry team of the former Gansu Tiao Tiao, which has now changed its number and is called Jingbiao Zhongzhen, which is the cavalry of the Ganzhou Green Camp brought by Zhang Yong.

Listening to his colleague's question, the officer of the Green Camp of Guangxin Mansion was annoyed. The implicit meaning of the northwest man in front of him made him feel very harsh. But even so, he did not reveal it on his face, but instead explained it.

"The bandits' journey was very fast. They rushed to 100 miles in one night to defeat the Han Eight Banners Army. The wolf smoke had been lit. It was only a few miles away. They would not be able to arrive long before they could arrive. They should never underestimate them."

It is inevitable to despise Zhang Yong's subordinates have never participated in the four provincial capitals, but they fought a lot of wars in the northwest, and they have never looked down on these southern green camps. However, when it comes to the Eight Banners of the Han army, his eyelids still leaps, but they just don't have time to think about whether it is a jump to wealth or a disaster. The consciousness cultivated by the long-term battle formation drove him to continue to issue orders to his soldiers.

"Don't be too slow, the wolf smoke has already lit up, set fire to the fire. You two, take our troops to attack the tower with all their might and take down the commanding heights so that you can see whether the reinforcements have arrived."

The twenty miles between Guangxin Fucheng and Yushan County, near the Fucheng, had been blocked, and the Qing army, who moved to the Second Order, had specially cleaned it up. After passing that uninhabited area, it also had to attack towns and villages, especially towns close to the county and had garrisons. The Qing army here was all cavalry. Hong Chengchou wanted to use the advantages of the cavalry as a military force to put greater pressure on the Ming army to reduce the possibility of the Ming army further expanding to Ningshao.

The Qing army of the brigade had already attacked the town, and the shouts of killing sounded loudly, almost drowning the cry of the townspeople. At this moment, the north wind from the northwest and the flames burning from Zhejiang collided with each other in the streets and alleys of the town.

The streets and alleys in the town are actually very wide, and the stalls occupying the streets limit the impact speed for the Qing army's cavalry, and they are almost no longer much faster than walking. With the order of the officer, two teams of Qing army cavalry rushed towards the Wencheng Tower in the town. The importance of the commanding heights, even if they have not learned any military tactics, is unlearning for those who have been through the battlefield for a long time.

In contrast, the Ming army also used this tower as the command center of the garrison early. At this moment, they used their flags to dispatch several infantry teams in the town to raid the Qing army through the streets and alleys, and did everything possible to hold on for even a second to buy time for reinforcements to rush to attack.

"The leader of the team, the chief of the whistleblower has an order to let us harass the Tartars who are heading straight to Wencheng Tower."

"Damn it, I was caught off guard. I only had more than twenty soldiers in my hands, and a few of them had their lottery inside. The group of nearly a hundred cavalrymen was easy to say!"

The captain glanced at the two-story building near another alley in the distance and spitted on the ground.

"I'll fight, everyone rushed over, the firearms team went upstairs, and the infantry team was guarding below."

The avenues in the town were almost all the Qing troops who were raiding. They were rushing into all the alleys to kill all the local garrisons and people. There were not many Qing troops in the alleys that the Ming army crossed. The mandarin duck formation quickly rushed over. Who knew that the yard behind the small building had locked the gate, and the rattan player who rushed over first shouted twice and didn't even react.

"Take a ladder, climb over and open the door."

With a command, the two tall and big wolf wielding hands set up a ladder and sent a flexible rattan player to the wall. The next second, the rattan player jumped down and opened the door that was bolted and supported with a shoulder pole in an instant.

He rushed in with the minor and serious wounded men. The infantry team assisted in defense below, while the firearms team rushed upstairs, opened the window, and shot at the Qing cavalry that had already reached not far away.

With a "bang", a Lumi gun that had just been replaced and sprayed out a piece of gunpowder. A Qing cavalry squeezed on the not-so-wide avenue and fell off his horse.

"Damn it, I'm obviously shooting that officer, why did a soldier die?"

The front-mounted smoothbore gun was equipped with no rifle, and the shooting was often determined by luck. However, nearly a hundred cavalry of the Qing army were walking far away on the messy road, and the word "concentration" made him shoot a cavalry to death even if he did not shoot the officer.

"There are bandits and musketeers on the upper floor, pulling their bows and arrows, and fighting back!"
