Chapter 54 Nantang

After the results were announced, Chen Wen led the soldiers of the base camp to the military commander station, preparing to receive instruction and rewards. The guard in the central camp brought the headquarters to the side of Chen Wen's headquarters. After all, there was no contribution and hard work.

Seeing that the two garrisons and their subordinates fell to the ground, Wang Yi announced the rewards of the two battalions, with Chen Wen's battalion of ten taels each, while the garrison of the central battalion had five taels each. In addition, the officers had to calculate separately.

Seeing that his subordinates thanked the reward, Wang Yi announced the separate rewards from Chen Wen and his camp.

"In governing the army, you will be rewarded for any merits and punished for any mistakes. Chen Wen, the guards, was a meritorious in training troops, and was given guerrilla rank, and was still in charge of the original ranks."

"I will thank Jinglei for his kindness for promoting him." On this day, from the guerrilla general to the garrison to the guerilla title, Chen Wen felt a little angry when he sat in the elevator, especially the change of his claim back and forth, which really made him miss the days when he called himself "me" or "this baby" in modern times.

"Chen Guerrilla, you must remember that in the future, there is no benefit in acting recklessly."

It is still unknown how it will happen in the future. Chen Wen did not regret the incident yesterday. He was demoted from the guerrilla general to the garrison. Even if he was a general, he would not care if he was beaten to the end.

As long as there is military power in this era, the Ming Dynasty would not mind taking the hat of a general or general on even a white-body head. Even if it is a title, they would not hesitate at all, because at this moment, the Ming Dynasty was only left with these

After yesterday, this army is no longer as simple as the sixth battalion of the Ming army in Dalanshan. It has begun to become Chen Wen's private army. You will get something for the effort. A temporary demotion can be exchanged for such an important thing. If you do it ten times, Chen Wen will be happy to do it a hundred times.

"I will follow the teachings of the scriptures in the end."

Although I couldn't see Chen Wen's expression, Wang Yi sighed in his heart. In his opinion, rewards and punishments were clearly the right one, but I would still find an opportunity to polish the temperament of this young general who is extraordinary in the future.

Wang Yi felt that as a minister, he had to be responsible for the Ming Dynasty. But at this moment, he would first cultivate the loyalty of this young general for the Lu State and prepare for the war that could break out within a month.

"I am ordered by His Highness the Superintendent of the State to manage military affairs in Nanzhili and Zhejiang to recover lost territory. A month ago, I ordered Chen Guerrilla to train a new camp. After today's competition, it has proved that Chen Guerrilla's training method is quite effective. I decided to change the 500 troops of Chen Guerrilla's headquarters to one thousand from now on, which is the same as the first five camps. And grant the camp number..."

Wang Yi looked up at the flying tiger flag still holding in the hands of the flag bearer, and then said: "He also granted the camp number Nantang. I hope that Chen's guerrillas and the soldiers of Nantang camp will not forget Qi Shaobao's heart of loyalty to the emperor and the people while practicing Qi Shaobao's army."

Chen Wen, who had been busy training in the military, did not take care of the issue of number at all, while Wang Yi, who was qualified to name, planned to see Chen Wen's military training results before making a decision. However, the current development has far exceeded Wang Yi's expectations. Chen Wen's army, which had been trained for only a month, had the ability to kill the Central Camp, which made him have to leave some marks of the Ming Dynasty on this future strong soldier as soon as possible.

However, at this time, what Chen Wen was thinking had nothing to do with this...

Commander of the Southern Tang Camp?

What does this position have to do with the ruling king of Northern Tang?

Does Wang Yi think that this baby is a descendant of the Guanlong military aristocrats, or a descendant of the Later Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty?

If it weren't for the sentence Wang Yi looked for later, Chen Wen might have to think about it for a few minutes before he could react. But the word "Nantang" was really familiar to Chen Wen, who claimed to rebuild the Qi family army, because Qi Jiguang called him "Nantang" in his early years!

So whether the next camp should be called Meng Zhu is a question. I just hope that Qi Shaobao doesn’t mind.

After looking up at the sky, Chen Wen realized that it was still daytime and it was impossible to see the Big Dipper. He returned to reality from his daydream and immediately led the newly released soldiers of Nantang Camp to thank the number given by the civil servants of the military supervisor, and said that he would not let down the high expectations of the strategy.

Next was the celebration banquet. Chen Wen first accepted toasts from the old camp officials and generals at the banquet in the central army hall, and made an appointment with Huang Zhongdao and Mao Mingshan to meet tomorrow. In addition, he also found a gap to discuss the gains and losses with the garrison, and attributed the combat effectiveness of Nantang Camp to Qi Jiguang to comfort his colleague who was about to fight side by side on the battlefield. He hurried back to the camp to attend the celebration banquet in Nantang Camp on the excuse that he could not bear to drink.

When he returned to the camp, the banquet was halfway through. Because it was a celebration, Chen Wen also made an exception to let the officers and soldiers drink a small amount of alcohol. However, when he came back, many people were still unable to drink and returned to the barracks. After receiving the toast from the officers, he toasted one by one with a glass of wine, and even the firearms team that had lost to him was no exception.

Although Chen Wen and the soldiers of Nantang camp served rice in the same pot every day, in the feudal army with class like father and son, Chen Wen's behavior of toasting his subordinates still scared these men in feudal society, and they all said they were willing to die for Chen Wen.

After the celebration banquet, Chen Wen, who had been drowsy, returned to the room and fell asleep. But he didn't know that Wang Yi, who had retired early in the celebration banquet, had a quarrel with Feng Jingdi for a whole night. Until the end, Feng Jingdi, who was literary and elegant and always had a talent for argumentative argument, was still angry by Wang Yi, his old friend, so he took Wang Sheng and others away from Dalan Mountain before dawn.

In fact, at the beginning, Wang Yi did not discuss Chen Wen's issue with Feng Jingdi, because he had a more important matter to say, which was the information provided by Chen Wen. Out of his understanding of Feng Jingdi, Wang Yi did not say that it was brought by Chen Wen, but only said that it was brought by a Nanzhili vulgar man who was unwilling to provide his name. He did not dare to mention that he and Wang Jiang suspected that this person was Qian Qianyi's affairs, for fear that Feng Jingdi would doubt the authenticity of the information out of his personal likes and dislikes.

Regarding this information, Wang Yi quoted some of Chen Wen's theories and his and Wang Jiang's research results, and explained Feng Jingdi apart the purpose of the Qing army and the situation of the entire Ming army in Zhejiang. It was not until Feng Jingdi recognized these military analysis results that he informed Feng Jingdi of the plan formulated by Chen Wen.

But after mentioning that it was Chen Wen's plan, Feng Jingdi still became a fuss. The next two friends of many years began to argue fiercely about whether Chen Wen was an eunuch party, whether he could use it, whether his words were trustworthy, and whether there would be any ulterior motives in this plan.

During the debate, Wang Yi guaranteed that Chen Wen was not an eunuch party, while Feng Jingdi said that Chen Wen’s views were the same as Yu Huang, and he was an eunuch party. Wang Yi believed that Chen Wen was extraordinary and would become a famous general in the Lu State system in the future. Feng Jingdi said that he did not know whether Chen Wen could become a famous general, but he felt that Chen Wen was a eunuch party, so he could not use it at all. Wang Yi felt that Chen Wen would be a good person in his daily life and his speech was very credible, while Feng Jingdi believed that eunuch party was not a good person, so they would never believe their words. Wang Yi said that he had discussed Chen Wen’s plan many times with Wang Jiang. In addition to the details that need to be improved, there is a high chance of success, while Feng Jingdi believed that eunuch party would only corrupt state affairs, and this plan must be problematic.

Then, there was nothing left. After the two sides quarreled over and over for a night, they parted in disagreement. Feng Jingdi even threatened that the one who ruined state affairs in the future would definitely be Chen Wen, and Wang Yi, who was strongly promoting Chen Wen, would definitely regret reusing Chen Wen.

In the morning, Wang Yi, who was wearing a pair of dark circles, told Wang Jiang about the argument with Feng Jingdi that night, but Wang Jiang had a look that you deserved. However, before Wang Yi could express his dissatisfaction, Wang Jiang took out a letter he just sent today, which dissipated Wang Yi's anger that night a lot.

When Chen Wen woke up, it was already sunny. Fortunately, in order to take care of his subordinate Wang Yi, he stipulated that there would be no regular meetings on the day of the celebration banquet, and he would be summoned temporarily, which would not bring him a reputation for being arrogant because of his favor.

However, after coming out of the room, Chen Wen found that there was almost no one in the camp, and the left-behind policing soldiers reminded him that he ordered a day off today last night, and that everyone's return to the camp before lunch tomorrow completely pulled him out of his drunken state.

After having breakfast that was almost noon, Chen Wen began to study the next military expansion plan.

Chen Wen did not intend to break up the entire battalion and carry out large-scale average expansion. Most teams did not intend to join new players. They just promoted the squad leader of some of the teams to the captains and inserted them into the new team. The advantage of this is that he can preserve the combat effectiveness of most of the troops and improve them again in the subsequent training. The disadvantage is that the newly trained team will not be able to form combat effectiveness for a while and can only provide auxiliary roles in the upcoming war.

In addition, he also planned to train a small-scale engineering team. Out of distrust of cavalry, Chen Wen planned to use professional engineers as an auxiliary. Although landmines were available in China for a long time and even Qi Jiguang used them, the craftsmen in Dalanshan still did not reach this level. As for the ** grenade, he did not give any hope for the time being. After all, the gunpowder reserves and production speed in Dalanshan are completely unable to keep up with the consumption of this scale, so he did not plan to compete with the British for the time being for the naming rights.

However, there are really things like trapped horse pits, tripping horse ropes, caltrops, etc., and there are also people in his camp who are good at similar things. Although the skills of these people are too immature compared to the first generation of pit kings, in Chen Wen's opinion, it should be possible to trick the green camp soldiers and the regiment training.

There is actually another reason for this consideration, that is, Chen Wen could not believe in the military households who were used as military camps as military camps and were pulled up as auxiliary soldiers during wars.

You should know that in modern times, soldiers are a very professional profession. The amateur auxiliary soldiers of the old camp really don’t have any trust. Even if they cut the head, they are afraid that they will cut off the whip. Those who don’t know think they are the disciples of Buddhism. They think they are guilty when they think about it. Not to mention such professional job as digging pits, how can they dare to leave it to them with confidence?

After lunch, Chen Wen went to the appointment between Huang Zhongdao and Mao Mingshan. The three of them chatted in the small courtyard where Huang Zhongdao's family lived, especially about how to use troops on the battlefield, Huang Zhongdao and Mao Mingshan gave Chen Wen a lot of inspiration, and most of them were exchanged for their lives over the years. Correspondingly, Chen Wen also took out some opinions and analysis of the current situation as a reward, which opened the eyes of these two warriors who had mostly spent in Siming Mountain in the past two years.

Chen Wen was very clear about their intention to attract Chen Wen as a supporter and facilitate fighting side by side on the battlefield in the future. Chen Wen also needed such relatively reliable teammates to help him accomplish things, so the two sides communicated with each other and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

However, Huang Zhongdao and Mao Mingshan will leave Dalan Mountain early tomorrow morning and return to the defense zone, so this wine is actually a farewell banquet before leaving. After all, as warriors, no one knows when they will die in the battlefield.

Before leaving, Huang Zhongdao and Mao Mingshan each gave Chen Wen a gift. Huang Zhongdao gave a bird gun with exquisite workmanship, which was the spoil of a previous battle. Mao Mingshan gave Chen Wen a Qi sword, which was said to have been stolen from an officer of the Han Eight Banners. However, in that battle, the Han Eight Banners officer finally escaped under the cover of his personal soldiers, so he only got the knife, but not the scabbard. However, he heard from the prisoners that this knife was used by the Qi army led by General Qi Jin during the Battle of Hunhe, and it was quite memorable.

Chen Wen was quite embarrassed to accept the gifts from the two. Over the past few days, every penny he had invested in this army and had never bought anything for himself. It was difficult for him to give away the things Wang Yi gave, so he was particularly embarrassed at this moment.

However, Huang Zhongdao and Mao Mingshan didn't care about this. Instead, they comforted Chen Wen. Their gifts were spoils. Isn't it over to return the gift after Chen Wen seized some rare objects on the battlefield? They also firmly believe that Chen Wen will be able to achieve merits in a short time, so they are not worried that Chen Wen will be so shameless that he will not give it to him.

However, before their farewell banquet ended, all of them were invited to the central army hall by Wang Yi. When they arrived at the central army hall, Wang Yi told Chen Wen that Liu Yiming and Chen Tianshu had agreed to Chen Wen's plan and were preparing to sneak back to the army after taking down the Hushan Station. Yu Guowang would also use the banner of these two people to continue attacking Xinchang County as he arranged. In addition, two reinforcements outside the Siming Mountain range had agreed to attack at that time to restrain some Qing troops.

This news made Chen Wen very excited. According to historical books and what he saw with his own eyes, the combat effectiveness of the Fifth Battalion of Dalanshan was higher than that of the Zhejiang local green camps. Among them, the two strongest battalions, Liu Yiming, may have infinitely close to the level of some elite green camps. In this way, the Fifth Battalion of Dalanshan and his Nantang Camp can dispatch nearly 4,000 soldiers. As long as other friendly forces can restrain the Shaoxing Green Camp, he is very confident that he will defeat Tian Xiong's Zhejiang Admiral Battalion in one battle, because his Nantang Camp will be the biggest variable in this battle!

Next, Chen Wen's task was to explain the situation, intelligence and his response plan to the two most senior generals of the Ming army in Dalanshan, which also gave the two higher evaluations of Chen Wen's tone and wisdom. Subsequently, Huang Zhongdao and Mao Mingshan also raised the evaluation of the military and combat effectiveness of some familiar friendly forces, and assisted Chen Wen to complete the entire plan according to Chen Wen's staff operation method.

It was not until late at night that Wang Yi, Wang Jiang, Chen Wen, Huang Zhongdao and Mao Mingshan completed the entire plan. After ensuring that the three generals kept their mouths tight, they each left.

Walking back to the camp, Chen Wen recalled the conversation with Huang Zhongdao and Mao Mingshan, as well as their performance in front of civil servants like Wang Yi and Wang Jiang.

Huang Zhongdao didn't talk a lot, but he always spoke well, and his behavior was in line with his experience of reading and literacy. He was quite a bit of Confucian general, so it was very in line with Wang Yi and the others' appetite. Mao Mingshan was purely a muscular general, with rude behavior and blunt speech, and even had a direct confrontation with Wang Yi. Fortunately, Wang Yi didn't care. If it were Yuan Chonghuan, this general who was somewhat similar to Man Gui would have been shot to death by a hidden arrow.
