The next morning, when Chen Wen got up in a hangover and was about to continue thinking about Yu Guowang's issue, Wang Jiang sent someone to come and ask Chen Wen to see him at this moment.

With doubts in mind, Chen Wen and the minor official went to find Wang Jiang. They just entered the house and found that there were other people there.

"Previous General Ye?"

Seeing Chen Wen come in, Ye Shirong, who was led by the group, was the first to salute Chen Wen, who is still a platoon with the rank of the general, which made Chen Wen suddenly feel unnatural.

After returning the gift quickly, Chen Wen learned about the whole story under Wang Jiang's explanation, but when he heard that Mao Mingshan had actually left Tiantai Mountain, he was shocked.

"When did Mao Shuai leave?"

Hearing Chen Wen's question, Ye Shirong immediately stepped forward and said to Chen Wen: "Report to General Chen, it should be the night before yesterday that Mao Shuai's personal soldiers went to deliver breakfast early yesterday morning, leaving only this letter."

As he said that, Ye Shirong took out a letter from his arms. He looked at it, but saw that the envelope was not sealed. He just didn't know if it was like this before or was opened later.

The moment he received the letter, Chen Wen glanced at the people present. Ye Shirong and the officers from the back camp looked at Chen Wen with a little fear, but Wang Jiang sighed, feeling that he must have read the letter.

After pulling out the letter, the familiar font immediately appeared in front of Chen Wen.

"Brother Chen personally opened his letter and met him..."

Mao Mingshan was a martial artist and only started to learn to write after becoming a great commander. Therefore, he used words and sentences to make a little straightforward, unlike the literati of this era who quoted classics. However, his strong brushstrokes made Chen Wen recognize his font at a glance.

After reading it word by word, the content of the letter was not complicated. Mao Mingshan started to review his interactions with Chen Wen, to the purpose and necessity of his trip, and finally entrusted all the soldiers in the back camp to Chen Wen, hoping that Chen Wen could lead these soldiers well like the headquarters of Nantang Camp.

Chen Wen knew very well that Wang Yi had the kindness of a simplified man to Mao Mingshan, which was definitely something that this loyal and upright general would definitely try to repay. After Chen Wen and Mao Mingshan's verbal conflict the day before yesterday, he planned to persuade him in a few days after Mao Mingshan's anger faded away, and even he had already thought of an excuse. Wang Yi was powerless, but Wang Yi's daughter was still protected in the old camp of Dalanshan to protect her safety, and then complete the relationship between Wang Yi's daughter and Huang Zongxi's son. This is also a way to repay kindness.

However, Chen Wen never expected that on the night of the conflict of words, Mao Mingshan left Tiantai Mountain. It can even be said that after leaving the temporary camp of the old camp, he returned to the camp of the back camp and began to clean up the details. He thought that along the way, he had already thought about how to act.

It’s just that rescuing Wang Yi is not easy?

According to historical records, Chen Wen believed that Wang Yi could not surrender to the Qing Dynasty. There was no news of his death at this time, so Wang Yi's ending would probably be as in history. This is something that Chen Wen didn't want to see, but he could do nothing about it. At least Chen Wen didn't think he could save Wang Yi from the execution ground in Dinghai where tens of thousands of Qing troops gathered. If he really had such a great ability, Wang Yi would not have been captured.

So Chen Wen felt that what he could do now was to find ways to fulfill Wang Yi's ambition to recover lost land and protect the people's last wishes. This is what he needed to do and could only do here.

But this is not the case in Mao Mingshan's eyes. No matter how the situation develops, he always remembers his kindness. When Wang Yi was captured, he must do his best to rescue Wang Yi. If things are not ready, he will bring Wang Yi's body back and bury it on the land that Wang Yi has guarded. This is the greatest comfort to Wang Yi.

The lines are filled with the tragic feelings of a scholar dying for his confidant. Mao Mingshan's sense of mission to rescue Wang Yi has always been under extreme depression, especially when he was in the passage of entrusting his subordinates to him, Chen Wen felt almost suffocating.

Mao Mingshan's desire to die completely smashed Chen Wen's excuse to not rescue Wang Yi, and the moment these fragments fell, they left wounds in his heart. These wounds may gradually scab and fall off over time until they heal, but the scars will remain in his heart forever until they drink the bowl of Mengpo soup.

Chen Wen took a deep breath, then exhaled him, and then he regained some rationality. Since Mao Mingshan left him a letter, he must leave a letter to Wang Jiang and the person in charge of the Houying to entrust the funeral. This is the right thing to do. So Chen Wen asked Wang Jiang and Ye Shirong for the letter, and the two of them did have the letter Mao Mingshan left to them.

The letters written by Mao Mingshan to Wang Jiang and the general meaning of Chen Wen expressed, but it was more of apologies to Wang Jiang, apologies for leaving without saying goodbye, an apology for being unable to serve his subordinates, and so on.

As for the letters to Ye Shirong, they were full of praise for Chen Wen and were strictly ordered to obey Chen Wen's orders. However, Chen Wen, who had gradually regained his rationality, had great doubts about whether these people would obey Mao Mingshan's last orders.

"I think everyone has already achieved it, right?"

As soon as this said, Wang Jiang was stunned at first, then immediately reacted, and then glared at Ye Shirong and others. In the eyes of Ye Shirong and others looking at Chen Wen, the fear was even more intense.

"The last general, the last general, just like seeing if Mao Shuai will change his mind."

Nonsense!

Mao Mingshan left the night before yesterday, and the letter was discovered yesterday morning. So what did they do on this day? Isn’t this obvious?

Looking at Chen Wen's sharper gaze, Ye Shirong, who was in charge, had to grit his teeth and say the excuse they had discussed last night.

"After discussing, we plan to wait for Mao Shuai to come back. We hope General Chen will forgive him."

A deputy general asked a guard to forgive his crime. This was not only because of the reward that Chen Wen would inevitably receive because of that great victory, but more because they were afraid of the Nantangying army, especially when Mao Mingshan had a lasting fate and they chose to refuse to execute it, Chen Wen had absolutely legitimate reasons to force it to adapt it, which was what they feared the most.

But at this moment, Chen Wen was full of sneer in his heart. He would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. To put it nicely, he was ambition, but to put it badly, he was short-sighted. After Mao Mingshan left, the officers in the back camp immediately lost their constraints and held the power in their hands, for fear that Chen Wen would lose these things, even if they were just temporarily, so they would do this.

Of course, there is also the most important point. If Chen Wen's army was like the old-style army of this era, with soldiers as generals, and the size of the big and small, and they would have had empty salary and blood to support their families, they would probably not be like this if they had a certain degree of independence.

But this is definitely not the case in Nantangying. Once they become Chen Wen's direct subordinates, they will inevitably be restrained like officers in Nantangying. This is the biggest reason why they do not want to become Chen Wen, a "quasi-famous general".

Looking at these officers who were still forcing themselves, Chen Wen shook his head. These people didn't want to be his subordinates, and he didn't want the less than four hundred veterans in the rear camp.

Just like when Wang Yi was rejected by him when he was willing to lead the military affairs of the Central Camp, Chen Wen had no interest in transforming a pure feudal army. He would rather reorganize the new camp than take those so-called veterans, because it would cost a huge price to cut off the tail of a pure feudal army, and this price was something that Chen Wen could not bear at this moment.

Assuming that they are willing to become Chen Wen's subordinates, he will do his best to fulfill Mao Mingshan's last wishes as much as possible. Since these people hit it off with his idea at this moment, Chen Wen also plans to take care of Mao Mingshan's plea. Normally, he will give military pay and military supplies for several months, and he will attack the occupied areas of the Qing Dynasty, and he will just part ways. As for whether they can survive in this troubled times, it is their own choice and they cannot blame others.

"Since you have decided to wait for Mao Shuai to come back, then go back to the camp. I will only have one thing to say to you, restrain your subordinates and don't lose the tradition of the Dalanshan King's Division!"

"The last generals and others follow General Chen's teachings and dare not forget them one day."

Hearing Chen Wen's decision, Ye Shirong and others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and quickly catered to him, fearing that Chen Wen would change his mind.

After these people left, Chen Wen blocked Wang Jiang's mouth with just one word that he was so mean, and then said goodbye to him, preparing to help Yu Guowang train troops.

Originally, Chen Wen had great doubts about completely transforming a feudal army, and he was always full of doubts about whether to go to help Yu Guowang train troops, but what happened at this moment made him change some of his inherent thinking.

Who said that when training troops, you must be like Nantangying?

Isn't it enough as long as it can improve some combat power?

If the feudal army's tail is not cut, it will not be cut. Anyway, he will not be in command in the future. Even if he cuts it off, Yu Guowang can always implement it?

Since that's the case, the solution is very simple.

Following Yu Guowang to his old camp, Chen Wen asked all the officers and soldiers to gather at the school and thoroughly check the situation of the empty salary. The situation was not optimistic. It would be fine if they just had empty salary. What's even more annoying is that the personal soldiers raised by these officers were really not very good in combat ability. I really don't know that they didn't know how to practice at all, or they didn't get it well.

Seeing this, after returning to Yu Guowang's room, Chen Wen bluntly pointed out that this Tiantai Mountain Ming army could not be trained like Nantang Camp, neither in terms of establishment nor combat effectiveness, and it was clear that the reason for all this was the problem of empty salary, and Yu Guowang said that he could do nothing.
Chapter completed!
