Chapter fifty-six series (two)

"After thinking about it, the villain felt that Chen Guerrilla planned the combat operation planned by Dalan Mountain was very likely to be successful."

"What did you say?!" Feng Jingdi slapped the table. He never expected that the military general who, like him, who believed that Chen Wen was a remnant of the eunuch party, would agree with Chen Wen's plan, especially since these two people had a big conflict before.

"Stop being angry. There are still many major things in the country that depend on you. Don't hurt your body for such trivial matters." As he said that, Wang Sheng immediately kowtowed twice. He knew that he would be more respectful, so that he would have the chance to see through the situation.

As expected, Feng Jingdi did not beat the general who had beaten his wishes as usual, but instead asked in confusion: "Tell me your thoughts. If you talk nonsense, I will not forgive you."

"The villain Xie, the elder brother, forgive the crime. The villain just thought about how confidential it was for the Tartars to encircle Siming Mountain. Since Wang Jingluo received a secret report and confirmed the authenticity of the information, then my Siming Mountain King's Army will face a war that is related to life and death."

"The villain was lucky enough to hear the old man talk about Chen Guerrilla's plan. While the villain was grateful for the old man's trust, he also felt that as a general, he should express his ideas about the combat plan. Although the villain has been following the old man for so long, although it is still dull, if it can be beneficial to state affairs, the villain is willing to share the worries of the old man and the court."

Wang Sheng's respectful attitude was recognized by Feng Jingdi, so he continued: "The villain carefully recalled Chen Guerrilla's plan several times. First of all, such an important intelligence leak, the Qing army should not be aware of this matter, otherwise it would have caused a lot of controversy. In addition, the Tartars were far less familiar with the terrain and roads of the Siming Mountain than the Wang Shishi, and the Wang Shishi is very likely to succeed."

"If you include the ambush of Liu Yiming and Chen Tianshu, the Tartars who set out from Yuyao are likely to be defeated by the royal army. The villain thinks that if they can defeat the Tartars, the pressure on the court will be less. When the court gains a foothold in Zhoushan and has wise ministers like the elders, and the court is full of all the courts, then the royal army will recover Zhejiang and even all the lost lands should be not far away."

After hearing this, Feng Jingdi nodded. Wang Yi still understood that although he was not as righteous as he and Huang Taichong, he was definitely not a traitor. He could guarantee this with his life. So it must be the remnants of the eunuch party who deceived Wang Yi, and that guy must have come from Beizhili to praise military affairs from North Zhili with an ulterior motive, so he was not wrong to persuade Wang Yi himself.

After hearing Wang Sheng's words, Feng Jingdi also felt that he and Wang Yi had been friends for many years. Regardless of whether they agreed with the other party's opinions, they could not ruin state affairs. As long as they defeated the elite of the Tartars, the local green camp was no match for the Ming army in Dalanshan. At that time, they would definitely recover Zhejiang and even all lost land as the general in front of them said.

What should I do if the remnant of the eunuch party is just? Did you allow him to continue to deceive Wang Yi, or even deceive His Highness the Superintendent in the future, and even ruin the state affairs?

"The villain thinks that this plan should be fine, and the old man's idea of ​​preventing the eunuch party from chaotic politics is also the most correct. If it weren't for Wei Ni and those eunuch parties, how could the affairs of the state dynasty have fallen to this point?"

"So, the villain has a thought. If the remnants of the eunuch party lead troops to the war, then he will not have the chance to make a contribution. As long as he cannot go to the heaven to listen in a short time, with the advice of the elders, Wang Jingluo will sooner or later realize the harm of this person. That can not only defeat the Tartars, but also prevent the eunuch party from chasing the government again, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Looking at Wang Sheng who was still lying on the ground, Feng Jingdi immediately understood the intention of the general in front of him.

A warrior is a warrior. No matter how sweet the words are, he is still full of fighting for power and profit? If the affairs of this country are successful, it depends on the ability of civil servants from Donglin.

Putting aside his contempt for the generals, Feng Jingdi also realized the benefits of this proposal. After all, the harm of the remnants of the eunuch party is greater than that of a general who wants to seize the merits.

"But the remnant of the eunuch party named Chen is not a general of me, Xue Ao. Wang Jingluo still valued him very much at this time."

Wang Sheng immediately understood Feng Jingdi's meaning, and saw that he had been persuaded by him, and it was completely time to see the picture.

"The villain thinks that the Tartars have strong troops this time. Even with Chen Tianshu and General Chen, the military strength that Wang Jingluo can gather is definitely not enough. If the old man can send troops to help and convince the various royal troops near Siming Mountain to participate in the war, then I believe that Wang Jingluo will also be good at it."

Wang Sheng's proposal made Feng Jingdi's eyes lit up. He knew very well about the various rebels near Siming Mountain. The spirit of enterprising is rare, and self-restrained people are everywhere. What is the most feared by the self-restrained people is nothing more than a force around him that is far more powerful than them, so that their local emperor will be difficult to do.

Although Wang Yi's original power was very strong, it was still a little worse than the other rebels in Siming Mountain. However, if there was one Chen Wen and the Nantang Camp, the balance would probably be tilted, which would inevitably cause uneasiness among the surrounding forces, which would be detrimental to the court's rule over this place. If Chen Wen was not allowed to participate in the war and brought other people out to share the interests of equal interests, it would not only prevent the eunuch party from chaoticizing the government, but also unite the various ministries. Why not do it?

Although this matter is a bit despicable, there is no time to seek self-study for the country.

After deciding to implement this plan, Feng Jingdi said to Wang Sheng: "The invasion of the Tartars is coming, and I will share the worries of the court and Wang Jingluo. I will draft a letter. You will first send the letter from my official to Wang Jingluo, and then go to various battalions to urge them to send troops to respond. National affairs are as urgent as sparks, can Wang Guerrilla be confident?"

"The villain will live up to the great trust of the elder!"

Rewarding merits and punishments, and rewarding merits and punishments, Feng Jingdi immediately gave a reward for making suggestions.

"I am hereby appointed Wang Guerrilla as the general. If he can make new contributions on the battlefield later, the general and deputy general will never be stingy."

"The villain thanks the elders for the reward, and the villain calms his heart and returns to the elders." As he said that, Wang Sheng, who was crying for gratitude, immediately bowed again, and his head was knocked on the ground like a wooden fish.

After receiving Feng Jingdi's letter, Wang Sheng took a group of trusted servants to Dalan Mountain. However, one of them was closest to the same village, and Wang Sheng was most relieved to receive another task. After leaving Xue'ao Dazhai, he parted ways with the crowd.

……………………

The next morning, Chen Wen took more than a dozen officers and soldiers from Nantang Camp down the mountain to recruit soldiers, and the recruitment site was the town at the foot of the mountain.

After a whole day of screening yesterday, Chen Wen accepted more than 100 men who were determined to serve Nantang Camp. However, even if he added these 100 people, he was still far from the other goals he had calculated by 1,000 soldiers set by Wang Yi, and the officers and others.

So, Chen Wen sent a group of eloquent officers and several towns and villages near Dalan Mountain where soldiers were scattered this morning to convey the recruitment order, while he himself took a group of people to the nearest town to recruit soldiers himself. However, among the group of people who were in charge of the scene, a new face appeared, and he was the wife of Hu Er, the minor official who served Wang Yi.

Hu Er's wife's brother is called Zhang Jun. The young man is a bit handsome, but when he thinks that Liu Yiming should actually be called Liu Guangshi, and Yiming is just his character, Chen Wen still finds it strange. One is Liu Guangshi and the other is Zhang Jun. Fortunately, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong are too famous and basically cannot be named. Otherwise, the four famous generals of the Southern Song Dynasty's Zhongxing gathered together in the South Ming Dynasty, which is really a strange event that makes people goose bump.

Thanks to a brother-in-law who knew and was afraid of his inner brother-in-law, Zhang Jun was young and enlightened. Although he could recognize words like Sun Yu's younger brother, he still had a different level of writing eight-legged essays. However, according to his brother-in-law, his memory was very good. He never made any mistakes in what he told me and what he asked for to convey. However, Chen Wen didn't know that this kid was following his brother-in-law's order a month ago to relay the ancient jokes Chen Wen told, and it was done very well.

According to his sister's wishes, he was going to send him to follow Hu Er to be a minor official in the old camp, but this kid just got his hair out this year. Although a fifteen-year-old boy could be a father in the Ming Dynasty, Hu Er really didn't dare to take him to the big dyeing vat in the old camp. If he learned bad things, the big worm in his family would eat people.

After Chen Wen's Nantang Camp easily defeated the Central Camp in the Grand Camp, not only Wang Yi and Wang Jiang attached great importance to it, but most of the officials and generals of the old camp were quite respectful. Even Fang Shoujie of the Central Camp defeated by him also highly praised Chen Wen, especially after the celebration banquet. Chu Suxian, the entire old camp, was full of contempt and hatred for Chen Wen, but this had been selectively ignored by Hu Er.

Hu Er, who usually plays a guest appearance in Baoke, saw the clues after a brief glance. Chen Wenzhi's rigor of the army is really sensational, and he also heard Wang Yi say that if an army has strict military discipline, the one who defeats a war may be much smaller than other armies.

Hu Er thought about it, although hardships in the camp are indispensable, with such a general, he would not have gone to eat, drink, gambling at a young age. Based on this consideration, he bravely explored his wife's words, but his wife immediately decided to let him do this.

As for the reason, it is very simple. Zhang Jun's ancestors were also military households. His sister felt that since Qi Jiguang's ancestors were military households, Qi Jiguang could become a famous general. General Chen's ancestors were also military households, and he had hope of becoming a famous general in the future. So who knows whether their ancestors of the Zhang family would be exposed to the smoke that would make her, the always smart younger brother, also leave a name in history and even become a famous general.

However, even with the order of the king who sold famous generals as cabbage in his family, Hu Er, as a minion, still did not dare to ask Chen Wen to ask his wife and brother for an official, because he knew that Chen Wen's temperament, who even Chu Suxian, would definitely not agree, so he just said that he wanted Zhang Jun to be a follower for Chen Wen. When Chen Wen saw that the boy was literate, he agreed and arranged to be a personal soldier by his side.

Although there was a sister who was talking nonsense at home, Zhang Jun obviously did not learn that domineering attitude. At this moment, he was walking in front of the white horse like his brother-in-law in front of his sister, leading the horse to the horse for Chen Wen. In his words, his brother-in-law said before that, the personal soldiers were going to be the pawns of the general.

Soon, the group came to the town at the foot of the mountain. It was still the town a month ago and the City God Temple a month ago. Chen Wen once again posted the new recruitment list at the place where the list was posted. However, this time he did not spend any money to let the fortune teller read the list, but instead handed the glorious task to the newly promoted, the only personal soldier Zhang Jun to complete it. In this regard, the fortune teller also glanced at Chen Wen, Zhang Jun and others with a sad look when he saw this, and seemed quite dissatisfied.

Unlike last time, while using child workers who don’t spend money to read the list, Chen Wen also set up a big pot, and there was a pot of porridge that was so thick that it was inserted into chopsticks. When he was a soldier, eating food by saying it alone would definitely not be convincing.

As expected, as soon as the pot of porridge was scented, the onlookers who were afraid of Chen Wen's mountain armor and the crowd of Nantang camp soldiers who were supporting the scene came over, and even those who were just passing by would watch the fun as long as there was no urgent matter. Outside the City God Temple, there was soon crowd of people.

Since the Ming army in Dalanshan defeated the Qing army several times since its uprising, Wang Yi was the commander of the Ming army in Simingshan, and the defense zone of Dalanshan is relatively peaceful. It is precisely for this reason that the people in the occupied areas of the Qing army began to gradually gather here in order to avoid the oppression of the cruel and cruel officials. In the past two years, there have been many more people in the towns and villages of the Dalanshan defense zone who were not originally here.

Since the land here is far less than that of the Qing army and is even relatively barren, but it is necessary to maintain a large army to protect the safety of the place and try to regain more lost land, the Ming army in Dalan Mountain can only guarantee that it will not plunder the people, and it will be unable to do anything about relief.

Therefore, many of the newly arrived people or who are already poor are still struggling to survive on the brink of life and death, selling their children and children, and selling themselves as slaves. However, this is a chaotic time, and the government does not dare to expect relief from the government. Many people here can support themselves and their families with their strength and skills. If they are in other places, I am afraid that this is often just a luxury.

In front of the City God Temple, more and more people were watching, and the people in it quickly moved. From then on, a whole team of killers from the Mandarin Duck Formation came from Nantang Camp. Under the leadership of the captain, the soldiers worked hard to maintain order, and the scene soon became quiet.

Where the list was posted, Zhang Jun read Chen Wen's recruitment list loudly, and saw that the kid quickly adapted to Chen Wen's way of using punctuation marks to break sentences. It seemed that his brother-in-law had not hyped too much about this intelligence.

Chen Wen's recruitment list article this time still did not mention the requirements for recruiting soldiers, but only mentioned that those with skills were given priority. He actually talked about a lot of skills. He had martial arts, accurate archery, could manipulate firearms, and made firearms. He could all be counted. But he also knew that the rest was easy to say, but the last item was basically impossible. After all, weapon craftsmen are technical talents. Although civil officials from both the Ming and Qing dynasties looked down on the profession of craftsmen, talents were talents, and they would naturally not let them go if they could meet them.

The onlookers listened quietly to Chen Wen’s recruitment list. As Zhang Jun finished reading the list, some of them had no interest turned around and left, while more people rushed in.

In the past few days, Chen Wen loved his soldiers as much as his son. His reputation for rigorous military management and the story of "Chen Wen was punished" quickly spread around Dalan Mountain with the strange story of his beating his colleagues, and even began to continue to spread to other Ming army garrisons.

When many people heard that the general wearing mountain armor sitting next to him was Chen Wen, they were thinking, especially after learning that even soldiers could have a monthly salary of one or five cents and a fixed quota, and wars, there were more people who were willing to join the army. You should know that even at the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the silver price depreciated, and were located in Jiangnan, such military salary was barely enough to support the family. After all, Chen Wen had guaranteed that food, drink, and clothing were all borne by the camp.
