The next morning, Wang Jiang and Chen Wen jointly issued a punishment decision.

The minor officials in the old camp were beheaded and displayed for public order, and their wives were confiscated into the government office as slaves; the sergeant commander who was robbed was removed from the military post and beheaded and displayed for public order. Given that his betrayal of his wife was first, his wife was sentenced to return to his home family, and his children were not allowed to use their surnames; the quarantine chief Qi Xiufeng, who was ineffective in supervision, was punished for fifty knots, was fined for three months, and was removed from his position as a quarantine chief.

With the common purpose of punishing corruption, Wang Jiang and Chen Wen jointly discussed and decided the punishment decision. The punishment of the minor official in the old camp and the sect leader who was in charge of the robbery was based on the principle of strictness, and was to warn others.

Originally, Wang Jiang was going to insulate the sergeant's wife into the government office as a slave, but Chen Wen expressed his objection. After all, the woman was also a pregnant woman, which made him unable to do anything. So the final result was to send her parents' home, but the sergeant's descendants would no longer use his surname, either men or women, which made him nominally lose his son and grandson. At least in the eyes of the ancients, it was no different from the sergeant's failure to pass on the surname and the sergeant's descendants.

As for Qi Xiufeng, although he did not participate in this corruption case, as a military officer, he had to bear the responsibility for poor supervision. The punishment of the rod, the punishment of the salary and the dismissal of the position seemed much lighter, but the one alone could probably cost half of the life of the weak scholar, which was actually not much different.

While executing the execution, Yu Guowang and others also made an appointment to come to the temporary camp of the Ming army in Dalan Mountain.

In fact, their respective resident locations are not very close, and they are also different from this temporary camp. However, like Wang Yi is the leader of the alliance in Siming Mountain, the Ming army in Tiantai Mountain also regards Yu Guowang, the strongest and most fair New Chang Bo, as the leader. This time, Chen Wen peddled the weapons of the Qing army, and just caught these Ming army generals discussing countermeasures at Yu Guowang's resident, which attracted more customers.

After seeing the gifts on both sides, Chen Wen did not rush to invite these customers to dinner, nor did he take them directly to inspect the goods, but took them to a room where special trophys were collected.

There were as many as seven or eight Ming generals who came this time. Except for Yu Guowang who camped in a town not far away, Chen Wen had only seen Jin Tang, who raised troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty with Yu Guowang and later split a battalion. He had never seen any other Ming generals in Tiantai Mountain.

Since I have never seen it, the first thing to do is to build the credibility of the brand so that we can achieve twice the result with half the effort. So Chen Wen took them directly to the room where the Qing army flag was seized. Originally, the purpose of setting up such a room was to brainwash the recruits who were about to enter the camp, but now it is just right for these customers to strengthen their trust in Chen Wen, a second-hand dealer.

After entering the house, a green flag immediately caught the eyes of these Ming generals. From Li Rong, deputy general of the Zhejiang Admiral Biao Battalion, to Song Hua, the governor of the Zuoying, the governor of the Zhejiang Admiral Biao Battalion, to those scattered guards, Qian Zong, hung the flags of the general all over the room.

At first glance, the whole room was rendered by green when the door was opened. The source of these greens came from the elite admiral camp of Zhejiang Green Camp, which really scared the generals and generals who had been half-believing and half-doubted. When they were looking at Chen Wen, the awe in their eyes could no longer be concealed, and even at the dinner they were showing goodwill to Chen Wen, the guerilla guard.

In fact, this is also very normal. Among the Ming army in eastern Zhejiang, the Ming army in Simingshan area needs to face the green camps in Shaoxing and Ningbo all year round due to geographical location, and occasionally face small-scale encirclements such as the Qing army's Biao Battalion and Fu Biao Battalion. Therefore, the combat effectiveness is generally better than the Ming army in Tiantai Mountain. After all, there are much fewer combat opportunities here.

The strongest Ming army in Tiantai Mountain was the troops of the Xinchang Bo Yu Guowang. Yu Guowang had more than 10,000 troops. He once ambushed the small-scale encirclement and suppression troops that defeated the Tibiao Battalion. It is already a rare elite force here.

But it was also this army that, in the battle to siege Tiantai County in the third year of Yongli, was defeated by Xu Shouxian, the garrison defender of the Qing army, with hundreds of casualties and returned ineffective. Last year, when Liu Yiming and Chen Tianshu were ordered to return to Dalan Mountain, they did not conquer Xinchang as in history, and their combat effectiveness was evident.

Therefore, since there are such powerful allies at present, they naturally want to establish a good relationship with Chen Wen so that they can watch over and help each other in the future.

Due to the afternoon weapons and commodity fair, Chen Wen did not prepare much wine at the afternoon welcome banquet. However, even so, the afternoon weapons and commodity fair started, which scared the Ming generals in a cold sweat.

Although he had not had enough wine and had enough food, Chen Wen took these Ming generals to the arsenal after a rest. The weapons and equipment for sale were already neatly placed on the open space, while cloth and luxury goods were placed on the table for purchase by these Ming generals.

The army of this era followed the concept of "military military service" in the selection of weapons and equipment. This theory was proposed by Qi Jiguang. His mandarin duck formation and the battalions of multiple armies since then also followed this theory in order to be able to cope with changes in the battlefield. This theory is used to emphasize that the mutually coordinated mandarin duck formation is extremely feasible. Qi Jiguang used these to defeat Japanese pirates and Mongolians in the Jiajing, Longqing and Wanli dynasties in various ways.

However, in this era, the battle formations commonly used by the Ming and Qing armies, the abilities of military generals, the reactions of subordinate officers and the quality of soldiers seemed to be too high. Therefore, the army in this era generally used spears and swords and shields as the main force, supplemented by soldiers using other weapons as assistance, in order to achieve the effect of achieving the same destination in different directions.

Since the Extra Biao Battalion still follows this theory, if the weapons seized by the Ming army are a little exaggerated, they can be said to be swords, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, sticks, whips, maces, hammers, crutches, meteors, etc., such as sharps, thorns, thorns, razors, blades, velvet ropes, chains, hooks, Emei thorns, and all kinds of weapons are available.

Regarding the more personalized weapons, Chen Wen, who was not aware of the wise and skillful, directly defined them as "The Romance of the Gods" and "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" and other popular words in this era. Who made him unable to understand what these are used in the battle formation?

The weapons and commodity trade fair was still in progress, so Chen Wen found a reason to leave here - both an ally of the Ming army, and the face-to-face price cut was really inappropriate, so he asked Gu Shouli to handle the matter, and he waited until the time was about to come out to gain some favorable feelings and deal with some more difficult customers.

Soon, a general of the Ming army purchased the spear and swords and shields he needed. As for other weapons, he had no idea yet. Of course, because of his shortage of money, he had to choose these. But when he was about to negotiate the price, he looked at Gu Shouli, who was fiddling with abacus, and immediately felt sweaty.

Chen Wen knew that it was inconvenient to face-to-face price, and this Ming army general was not stupid. Since he left the chief clerk of the army, he was obviously ready to slaughter. However, he was not strong and did not have much money, so he was not ready to buy much. In addition, the weapons made by the soldiers from the pick-up camp were much better than those made by them, so he had to bite the bullet and be slaughtered.

He walked over tremblingly, thinking it would be a difficult price-killing journey, but who knew that Gu Shouli opened his mouth but listed the form that could be used to exchange these weapons and equipment. In addition to silver and money, food, vegetables, chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry, pigs, cattle, sheep, horses, donkeys, mules and other livestock can all be used for exchange, even muskets, charcoal, saltpeter, sulfur and other materials used to make gunpowder.

After hearing this, the Ming general immediately became more confident. He didn't have much money, and he didn't plan to exchange for the few muskets, but there were many others. In this era when there was no anti-human concept, the Ming general felt that it would be extremely cost-effective to exchange more good weapons even if he and his subordinates had fewer meals every day.

After listening to the exchange price, I thought that buying more should cut off some more. Then the Ming general ran back with confidence, fearing that others would snatch away the things he was hesitant about to buy...

The reason for this is that Chen Wen was mainly due to the economic crisis of the Ming army in Dalan Mountain. Although many people were already thinking about their homeland and planned to return to Siming Mountain, Chen Wen knew very well that in history, the Qing army encircled Siming Mountain again before attacking Zhoushan, and they were almost bound to die when they returned here.

Seeing this, Chen Wen persuaded Wang Jiang and notified the people in the name of Dalanshan Old Camp that he could go back, but he would have to wait until the end of this year, because the Qing army would be besieged Zhoushan this year, and the Simingshan area was not safe.

However, in this way, the economic pressure will never be alleviated, and the expansion of the army and the subsequent offensive plan will not be carried out, so he can only do this. Of course, Chen Wen has also considered the worst plan, which is to use wealthy families in his peers, but the consequences of doing so are what he does not want to see.

After a long time, Chen Wencai slowly came back. Most of the Ming army generals here had completed the purchase, but at this moment they did not continue to appreciate the things they purchased, but instead watched a Ming army general kill the price to Gu Shouli.

"What's going on?"

Hearing Chen Wen's inquiry, Gu Shouli quickly stood up to salute, and then explained the whole story clearly. The Ming army general who was selling price with him was named Dong Keshen, who was stationed in Xianju County, Taizhou Prefecture. This time he bought a lot of goods and the journey was not close, so he always wanted to kill more, but after a few more, he became the leader of these Ming army's selling price.

Chen Wen knew that what he was talking about was the truth, and in modern times, freight costs must be calculated within the cost. Chen Wen, who is not familiar with the place, will definitely not send someone to ship it, so it is an inevitable choice to appropriately reduce the price for these customers.

However, it would be fine if he was alone here. Everyone was watching the result of this matter. Once Chen Wen lowered the price, others would inevitably ask for the same treatment. Chen Wen thought about it and decided to come up with a compromise solution to this problem.

"Since Dong Shuai feels that the journey is long and freight is a big problem, then it is better to do this. I will hand over the goods purchased by Dong Shuai to Xinchang Bolai for delivery, and the two parties agreed to a place to be delivered at an acceptable location. As for Xinchang Bo, I will still have a big deal to negotiate. I can make some concessions at that time, as a reward, how about?"
