On the fourth day of the October 10th, a whole September passed like this. Even the early October 2018 had passed for some reason. There was no news of the Qing army's mobilization from Shaoxing and Ningbo. Yuyao was still the same Yuyao, and Fenghua was still the same Fenghua, as if the Qing army had forgotten the encirclement and suppression.

It turns out that amnesia can also be contagious, but I don’t know if this disease has also been spread to Huang Zongxi, so why did the September Qing army encirclement and suppression, which is commonly recorded in the historical books of Zhejiang East, go wrong? It’s impossible for Huang Zongxi to have already started using the Age of the AD at that time.

For more than a month, Chen Wen has been training troops. The training of the Yuanyang Formation Killer Team and the Firearm Team remained the same, and the cavalry team was taken down the mountain to run horses by Li Ruixin. In Li Ruixin's words, cavalry cannot be trained without running. Even if they don't run horses, understanding the terrain is a necessary quality for scouts. In this regard, Chen Wen expressed his recognition with the mentality of "I don't understand anyway". Who made "horse-with-horse" cavalry no longer popular in countries around the world when he was born?

Apart from these three old things, the engineering team of the Nantangying camp is also stepping up training. However, their training location is not in the old camp, because Chen Wen was really embarrassed to ask them to dig the land that was so easy to level out in the Dalanshan old camp in the past two years into rifts, and they should cherish the fruits of other people's labor.

As a result, the forests, roads and open spaces on the entire Dalan Mountain became their paradise. However, in addition to digging holes, Chen Wen had a clear requirement for them, that is, he had to have professional ethics when digging a hole, so digging a hole must be filled.

It was already dinner time, and the soldiers in the camp ended today's training and returned to the barracks to wipe their faces and wash their hands to prepare for dinner. Although for many people, they are preparing to go for extra training after dinner, they have to eat dinner. You must know that General Chen from the camp said, "People are iron, they eat steel, and they are hungry if they don't eat for a meal." This is simply to the hearts of the soldiers who train hard every day.

Due to the increase in troops and the fact that several newly built training facilities occupied too much ground, the West School Farm was already inadequate to use, so Wang Yi handed over part of the west side of the Grand School Farm to Nantangying for use.

But in this way, the two guards of Nantangying and Central Camp began to train troops in the same school ground. On one side was the vigorous new camp head and on the other side were the old camp head who had experienced the war. In the first few days, the two sides fought several times due to disagreement. In the end, Chen Wen or other Thousand General Officers had to supervise the training. At this time, Chen Wen brought the two posts who returned from the training in the school ground to go back to the camp for dinner.

Passing by the execution area between the Xizhaichang and the barracks area, Chen Wen once again saw a familiar face. It’s not that this person would report to the execution area every day, but the reason for this guy to be sentenced is not much different every time.

"What mistake did Shi Daniu make this time?"

Shi Daniu was the first person selected when Chen Wen recruited soldiers at the Chenghuang Temple in the town at the foot of the mountain. He was the man who ran to find his brother without even drinking porridge.

When he heard that it was Chen Wen's questioning, the poliest soldier in charge of the execution immediately turned around and replied: "Report to the general that this soldier left the queue during training and ran to help his brother treat his injuries. He whipped thirty in accordance with the training regulations."

It's indeed the same old trick.

Shi Daniu's younger brother is Shi Erniu. Judging from his name, he is definitely a brother. This is more than dozens of times more like Wu Sangui's name Changbo and Wang Jiang's name Changshu. Shi Daniu and his younger brother are both honest people. The father is kind and filial, and the brother is friendly and respectful, which is very consistent with the concept of a harmonious society that Confucianism wants to create.

This was a good thing, but when these two people were assigned their positions, they were too timid and too stubborn, so they had to be fire soldiers. There was only one fire soldiers in the team, so they had to be divided into different teams. In this way, the friendly brother often went to help the stupid and somewhat unreasonable and respectful brother, and often left the queue during training. Such behavior of leaving the post without permission is a big taboo in the army.

Chen Wen knew that many people in this team had objections to the fourth killer team of the armored sentry. However, Gu Shouli, who was responsible for the distribution, assigned him to the armored sentry as a fire soldier because of his hard work. Who would have thought that such a talent would have emerged? Since Shi Daniu entered the camp, the reasons for being punished were the same. Even An Youfu, who is still in Nantang Camp, is still punished for the number of times and the number of whipping military sticks. In his words, this person is simply remembering to eat but not be beaten, and he is punished for one reason every time. It is too boring.

Seeing that Shi Daniu was punished, Chen Wen was really unable to complain about this man who was in line with traditional morality but not in line with the spirit of the military.

"Stone Big Bull!"

"Little, little, little man, no, I'm not right!" I've been in the camp for more than a month, but I still have the look of fear.

Chen Wen shook his head. He knew very well about the man's family conditions and also knew that he was a miserable person caused by this troubled times. He had a house and land and had a boundless life. However, after the exploitation of corrupt officials in the Qing Dynasty, there was nothing left. Only in this way would he come here to endure the days of hunger and fullness. If he drove this person out of the army, the whole family who could eat enough and accumulate some savings could be hungry again.

"I will ask you, if your brother Ishi Niu and the robes in your team are injured, who will you save first? Remember, if you save this one, you won't save that one."

"this?"

This question similar to the question of your wife and your mother falling into the river immediately stumped this stubborn man. On one side is his younger brother, and on the other side is his robe who eats, lives and trains. Especially when Chen Wen is still creating a team atmosphere these days, Shi Daniu really couldn't think of how to answer.

Seeing that he was blushing and didn't hold it out, Chen Wen had to tell him the answer.

"From today on, you will remember this general clearly that there are only two kinds of relationships in the army. From top to bottom, it is the class. The military man takes obeying orders as his duty, so the subordinates must obey the orders of the superiors; the horizontal one is the robe, starting from the army, to the team, then to the whistle, and to the entire king's army, as long as they sleep in a room, eat in the same pot, and being in the same number or camp, it is the robe. As for those brothers, kids and other things do not exist in the army!"

"If your brother and the robes in the team are injured on the battlefield at the same time, all you need to do is to rescue the robes in the team, and your younger brother will naturally have the robes in his team to rescue them. If you only care about saving your brother, what should you do with the robes in your team? If everyone is like this, will this army still fight?"

"In our army, everyone can win by doing what they should do, just like saving cards, saving wolves, and palladium to save spears."

Seeing that this man seemed a little confused, Chen Wen immediately added a ruthless sentence. "If you give up your robes on the battlefield, you will be a deserter. All deserters will be executed. Do you remember?!"

"I have recorded my humble position."

Chen Wen sighed. If a little saliva wasted could allow a poor family to keep the hard-earned hope. He didn't care much about saying a few more words.

After instructing the captain of Shi Daniu to ask about his just question again every morning when he woke up, Chen Wen was about to go back to the camp for dinner, but at this time Hu Er suddenly rushed to the west school ground and conveyed Wang Yi's summoning before he could breathe evenly.

Chen Wen knew very well that as early as the end of August, the Ming army heading south to Xinchang had already captured Hushan. Due to the departure of Liu Yiming and Chen Tianshu, Yu Guowang simply besieged Xinchang County to facilitate his auxiliary soldiers to collect food and grass within the scope of Xinchang County.

There has been almost no major change in the situation in eastern Zhejiang and history. At this moment, Wang Yi was in a hurry to have a meeting without even letting him eat dinner. It seems that the Qing army in Zhejiang finally remembered that there were still some combat missions that had not been completed this year.

For the memory of the Qing army commanders of Zhejiang, Chen Wen had to put aside the dinner first.

I hurriedly followed Hu Er to the Central Army Hall, and at least I had to figure out what was going on.

An hour ago, in the second hall of the Central Army Hall of the Dalan Mountain Old Camp, Wang Yi looked at the dozen letters in front of him and was full of anger, but Wang Jiang, who was sitting on the move, just kept sighing.

"In just one month, it will develop to such a level, and there must be someone behind this that deliberately pushing this matter."

"Wanxun." Wang Jiang hesitated for a moment, and still expressed his thoughts. "No matter who is causing this, we must first put state affairs first and must not act on our own will. And..."

“And what?”

"And we have no choice."

Hearing this, Wang Yi had to sigh. "It's true that there is no other choice."

Seeing that his Chinese partner was still resentful, Wang Jiang had to continue persuading: "The wood is beautiful and the wind will destroy it. This is a truth that has been around since ancient times. It is better for us to make compensation in the future."

"That's it." After saying this, Wang Yi instantly walked out of his hesitation and returned to his former firmness.

……………………

When Chen Wen arrived at the central army hall, all the relevant officials of the Dalanshan Old Battalion had arrived. Chen Wen immediately sat in his seat after giving the ceremony. He was the civil servant of the military inspector Shen Diaolun, Zou Xiaonan and the generals Huang Zhongdao and Mao Mingshan, and opposite were Chu Jiuru and Sun Yu, and several other officials in charge of the Fifth Logistics Department. As for the two guards in the central camp and the next level of the fifth department, they obviously had no right to participate in the meeting.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Wang Yi ordered Hu Eryan to guard the gate and then said: "There has been news from Yuyao that the Zhejiang Admiral Battalion of the Tartars had begun to gather in Yuyao. It is estimated that it had almost gathered at this time."

The Qing army was half a month to one month late, which made the Dalanshan Ming army, who had already received the news earlier, very uncomfortable. Even some officials who knew the inside story, including Chu Jiuru, were quite suspicious of Chen Wen's source of information. However, Wang Yi and Wang Jiang were always suppressing this idea, so they did not cause greater doubts.

From today's perspective, this question is obviously unreasonable. After all, due to the backwardness of communication technology in this era, many plans are unclear. It is not abnormal for the Qing army to oversleep and be late for half a month. After all, it also takes time to wash and dress up to get on the appointment.

Chen Wen was very clear about the anxious mood of the insiders in Dalanshan this month. However, he clearly remembered that the Qing army attacked in September, and the Qing army definitely had the reasons and necessity to attack this year. This was not the decision of Dalanshan, but Zhoushan. After all, the Lu Jianguo threatened the Qing Dynasty's rule in Zhejiang.

Although I don’t know why the Qing army has only been dispatched now, Chen Wen has no choice, because he has no idea whether his wings are flapping strongly or whether Huang Zongxi has written the mistake. Since he has begun to assemble, he has to have troops to block the water and soil.

"I decided to assemble the troops of the Simingshan King's Division, including our Dalan Mountain, to attack the Tartars in Yuyao according to the plan previously formulated by Chen Guerrilla. After defeating them, we will fight against the Tartars from Fenghua."

After setting the tone for the meeting, Wang Yi immediately assigned the task. "Chief Chu."

"There is the official!"

"You will immediately set out to contact the departments that have been agreed upon before and go to the designated location to gather. No mistakes shall be made."

The established assembly location of the Ming army on the northern line is Liangnong Town. Liangnong Town is located on the northern foot of Siming Mountain and north of Dalan Mountain. It is a thousand-year-old ancient town.

Liangnong Town is said to have been the settlement of Liang and Feng’s surnames, so it was called Liang Feng Town. Later, due to frequent wars in the north, many major surnames moved south. By the Later Tang Dynasty, they had "popular and a huge town". Because there were many streets and alleys, they were homophonic to Liangnong. Liangnong Town was the leadership center of the anti-Japanese base in eastern Zhejiang during the Anti-Japanese War. Leading organs including the Party Committee, headquarters, and offices were all located here, known as "Little Yan'an in eastern Zhejiang".

The reason why Chen Wen chose this place as the assembly point was very simple. Because with the scale of the Qing army, if you want to attack Dalan Mountain from Yuyao, it is best to follow the rough direction of the Songliang Line, the Huxi Line Highway that crossed Siming Mountain in later generations, starting from Yuyao, passing through Yonghe Town, Siming Lake, Liangnong Town, and finally reach Dalan Mountain.

Even if the Qing army chose to go far away without going around Siming Lake and bypassing south of Fengming Mountain, the Ming army could still rely on its closer distance to return to Dalan Mountain, and the Qing army could not be faster than the Ming army. Once it entered the Siming Mountain area, the Qing army would always be wary of the Ming army's harassment, because the entire Siming Mountain area was occupied by various types of Ming troops, and the Qing army had no mass base here.

In this case, as long as the assembly is completed in Liangnong Town, the Ming army will be able to advance and retreat.

"The lower official obeys the order."

Seeing that Chu Jiuru had already responded, Wang Yi immediately clicked on the second official.

"Master Sun."

"There is the official!"

"The existing grain and grass in the warehouse in Liangnong Town can be enough for the army to use for one month?"

"Reporting to the strategy, I just went to Liangnong Town with the last batch of grain and grass to be transferred to here ten days ago, which was enough to provide for it."

"Very good, Master Sun, the food and grass are the foundation of the army. The food and grass stored in Dalan Mountain must be ready to be transported at any time, whether it is the northern line or the southern line."

The scheduled assembly site of the southern line was Simingshan Town, but the food and grass were not transported too early, because according to the plan, the Ming army on the southern line needed to try to delay the speed of the Qing army starting from Fenghua. Although Chen Wen explained many theories of later guerrilla warfare to Mao Mingshan, Chen Wen didn't know how long it could be delayed, and even the troops of Wu Kuiming, the largest Ming army west of Fenghua, did not know.

"The lower official obeys the order."

It is said that before the three armies moved, food and grass were taken first, and Wang Yi pointed out the departments and officials involved in the war in the old camp one by one. After ensuring logistics, he began to mobilize the army.

"Governor Huang."

"The last one will be here!"

"Tomorrow morning, Ru will return to Liangnong Town, cross Yonghe Town to send scouts to Yuyao, trying to figure out the movements of the Tartars."

The front camp of Huangzhongdao is responsible for the defense of the northern part of Dalan Mountain, and one of the guards is stationed in Liangnong Town, so the early stage of the northern line must be led by Huangzhongdao.

"I will obey the order."

"Governor Mao."

"The last one will be here!"

"Tomorrow morning, Ru will return to the defense zone and carry out the guerrilla warfare according to Chen Guerrilla's established plan, and at the same time, he will inform Wu Shuai to be ready to send troops at any time."

After Wang Yi said this, many people present felt a little awkward. You can't be a guerrilla general, your tactic is called "guerrilla warfare". If you are promoted to general, will this tactic be changed to "fighting"? It's really inexplicable.

"I will obey the order."

"Master Chen, Master Zou."

"The official is here."

"Tomorrow morning, you and the other two will start mobilizing the four guards in the central camp and set off for Liangnong Town the morning after tomorrow."

Hearing this, both Chen Wen and other officials were quite surprised. Even if Wang Yi planned to give his all his strength, he would not transfer all four guards from the central camp to the front line. Does the old camp rely on those servants and the temporary recruitment of civil warriors to be responsible for the defense?

"The lower official obeys the order."

The only Ming army officials in Dalan Mountain who attended the meeting were Wang Jiang and Chen Wen, who were not assigned tasks. Wang Jiang didn't need to say much. He was responsible for the fundamental place of the old camp. This was also the habit of Wang Yi and Wang Jiang, such as Wang Yi's second capture of Shangyu County and his journey south to rescue Wu Kuiming, and his visit to the Lujian State during the pilgrimage.

Then, the only thing left is Chen Wen.

"Guerrilla General Chen Wen." Wang Yi took a deep breath and said the following words. "Guerrilla General Chen Wen led his troops to assist Deputy Chief Wang to guard the old camp in Dalanshan. All military affairs in the old camp are fully responsible for you!"

“…”

The silence of death was as quiet as Wang Yi, the issuer of the order, and Wang Jiang, who participated in the formulation of the order, everyone stared at all with their eyes widened.

Everyone here knows that this information was brought by Chen Wen, and the combat plan was also formulated by Chen Wen. Chen Wen even tried his best to compile a camp with great combat effectiveness for this war. Why did Wang Yi order Chen Wen to guard the old camp at the end of the decisive battle?

This question flashed through the minds of everyone present in an instant, and their eyes flashed through them, from looking at Wang Yi in disbelief to trying to find the answer from Chen Wen's face, but they got only a face that was more surprised than them.
Chapter completed!
