On April 13, the fifth year of Yongli, Nantangying, which had just completed the expansion of the staffing work for only half a month, completed the first phase of recruit training.

This time, the Central Military Firearms Team in Nantangying had the largest expansion, from the original ten teams of 120 to 32 teams of 384. The Yuanyang Formation Killer Team, which is the backbone of the battle formation, expanded from eight posts to twelve posts. Among them, the first four posts were mixed with the First to Sixteenth Teams of the Central Military Firearms Team to form a brand new combat unit - the first game, but the name of the Firearms Team was temporarily retained from the number.

In addition, the Central Engineers' Corps also doubled its organization, and only the Central Cavalry Team had almost no expansion due to the lack of horses. If we add the newly established two teams of artillery and military doctors, the non-combatants such as the Cheat and the Punishment Army were only in just over 600, and the warriors alone reached more than 1,100, and the first game, which Chen Wen secretly called the "first mixed reinforcement company", also had nearly 400 combat soldiers.

An army of such a scale is a great burden for the Ming army in Dalanshan, which has lost its stable base. According to Wang Jiang's calculations, even if it is saved again and again, such a scale can only last until the end of the year. Even if it is not even the end of the year, at most, this army will completely drag down the entire Dalanshan old camp in half a year.

In this way, trying to fight out this army is the only way to survive, because only by occupying a new base can the Ming army that broke free from the cracks of history continue to survive until the day when the two capitals are liberated, and this is also the reason why Chen Wen persuaded Wang Jiang to fully support this expansion.

However, for Chen Wen, he was not in a hurry to send troops, because the historical changes last year were not very large, and he could still take advantage of the historical records, and this was also the biggest ace in his hands at this time.

This training has to be refined compared to the formation of the army and the first expansion, and is divided into four stages. At the same time, the training time seems longer. Even the first game with the highest proportion of veterans will not be fully completed until the end of June, let alone other troops.

The first phase of training that has been completed is mainly to strengthen the new recruits' understanding and understanding of military laws and regulations, understand military orders and golden drums, enhance the new recruits' confidence and loyalty by telling the military history and the war history of the Simingshan Palace War, and strengthen the new recruits' physical fitness. Of course, the veterans will not be idle during this period. Due to the expansion and modification of the organization, some of the officers and soldiers have been promoted, and they must start to adapt to their new position in the queue again.

After more than half a month, the results were pretty good, especially after Chen Wenrang the officers and soldiers who performed well in the battle in the palace gave speeches to the new soldiers, these newly enlisted soldiers also seemed to be more attentive in the process of training and learning the military laws and regulations.

Since the first phase of training had ended, Chen Wen gave all the soldiers a day off for the sake of combining work and rest and saving military rations.

It was noon now, and the officers and soldiers who had completed the training and punishment began to hurry out of the camp. During the wedding tide some time ago, many officers and soldiers in Nantang Camp had families, and it was rare to have a day off, so they naturally had to rush home. Most of those who had not yet got married also had their families nearby, so they were reunited with their families during holidays, with Wu Dengke being the exception.

The marriage wave some time ago, due to too many hirings, the amount of betrothal gifts in Tiantaishan area even increased sharply. Although Wu Dengke, as a senior officer in Nantang Camp, was not short of this money, he had no intention of considering this matter at all.

The training was over, and the officers and soldiers who applied to leave the camp also left the camp in large numbers. Seeing that nothing was wrong, Wu Dengke returned to the camp to get some things and hurried to the gate. His destination was the home of the gentleman who had taught him to write.

When we first arrived at Tiantai Mountain, the entire Nantang Camp had to supervise the renovation of the camp and assist in the settlement of the people. Even the daily training was stopped. It was not until after all this that the New Year was over, and the training began again, and Chen Wen also started the military strategy explanation for the officers.

While explaining the military tactics, Chen Wen also arranged a scholar from Ningbo to literate these officers. However, this Tong Sheng, who was full of words, was really sour, which made Wu Dengke always feel that his mind became more confused as he listened. He was forced to leave the camp without permission for no reason. Since the holiday was here, Wu Dengke naturally had to rush to find the old man who had taught him before so that he could make up for his homework during this period.

After half a year of study, Wu Dengke has learned a lot of words, read some straightforward articles, and even written some words. However, for Wu Dengke, who is helping himself to fly first, studying military books is still an extremely difficult thing at the moment. After all, it is not something that he can do when he has just left the ranks of illiteracy and barely entered the ranks of semi-illiteracy.

Taking some of the questions about reading that have been sorted out these days, Wu Dengke hurriedly walked towards the village not far from the camp. Since the military pay in Nantang Camp was still being paid, there was a long-term market in the village not far away, and he was planning to buy some gifts before going there. Although he is not very rich now, he still has to talk about respecting teachers and politely.

When he walked outside the village, a figure limped with his butt attracted Wu Dengke's attention instantly, especially the guy was actually wearing the Ming army uniform, which was really eye-catching. However, after that moment, he no longer had any interest, but continued to walk towards the small shop selling candied fruits in his memory.

It’s not that Wu Dengke lacks curiosity, but he is really familiar with the person in front of him - the first group of veterans who entered the camp, the troublemaker who has been ranked first in the third list for many years, the battle hero who insisted on fighting to the end when he was injured and mobility-inconvenient in the battle, how many people in the entire Nantang camp do not recognize?

Covering his butt with one hand and leaning on a wooden stick with the other, An Youfu limped towards the village. With the appearance of the stone bull, the guards' attention to the Fourth Killer Team of Armored Sentences had begun to shift to this stupid ball. His guards were punished less and less often, and it was estimated that the distance was not far from falling from the top of the ranking list set by the guards and battalions.

Who knew that after the battle behind Simingshan Palace, this idiot not only changed his fault of leaving the queue without authorization, but also became more obedient to the officers, and even trained many times harder. In this regard, several officers transferred with the establishment of this new combat unit in the first game expressed great favor to him, believing that this is the quality that an excellent soldier should possess.

On the other hand, although An Youfu was promoted in the expansion with his outstanding performance in the Dalanshan School Field Competition and Simingshan Palace Back Battle, he felt extremely uncomfortable after being promoted from the long-range player to the first squad leader, the role transformation process from striving to assassination to protecting teammates and pushing forward the battle formation still made him feel extremely uncomfortable. The result of this discomfort is that he was pulled to be punished after problems arise. Of course, as the number of punishments increases, his position in the rankings becomes increasingly unbreakable.

Not long after, An Youfu came to the entrance of a small courtyard, which was the residence assigned by Ding Keji's family. Since the relocation of the old camp in Dalanshan, in accordance with the principle of taking care of the families of the fallen soldiers, Nantangying hired civilians to build some houses for the soldiers who were killed or disabled and unable to return to the army in this village closest to the old camp.

Ding Keji was killed in the battle behind the palace. In addition to getting a piece of burning silver, military merits and beheading rewards, he could also withdraw some food every month, and his wife and only son were still able to live up to the time being. However, the orphan and widowed mother lost the pillars of the family, and a lot of physical work became much more difficult, so An Youfu would come to help him whenever he had time. In this way, in addition to all Ding Keji's death instructions, An Youfu would feel more comfortable in his heart.

During training this morning, I had some conflicts with the new captain, but was pulled down by the tutor and beaten the board on the charge of confronting Guan. Even after rubbing the medicine, my butt still hurt slightly. However, I had to tell the sister-in-law of the Ding family as soon as possible, so that they would be happy in advance.

Knocking at the wooden door of the courtyard, a figure rushed out of the door facing the house. Seeing that An Youfu outside the door, he immediately opened the gate of the courtyard.

"Mom, Uncle An is here."

The one who rushed out was Ding Keji's only son Ding Junjie. This half-year-old boy is now eleven years old. It was the time to grow up. An Youfu would bring him some food every time he came, so he was very familiar with it. The gate of the courtyard was opened, but An Youfu did not come in. He just smiled and handed a paper bag the size of a palm to Ding Junjie.

Upon hearing this, a woman in coarse linen clothes and dressed in very simple clothes hurriedly came out.

"Uncle An is here, and he is still standing outside the door and doing something. Come in and sit down."

When Ding Keji was alive, An Youfu went to the Ding family's residence at that time. Although the military officers in Nantang Camp also sold some money for funerals, the entire funeral was handled by An Youfu and several other colleagues who had been with Ding Keji on weekdays to help. After the funeral, An Youfu would always come to help with some physical work, and never even go into the house. Naturally, the Ding family would not take too much care of it.

Hearing this, An Youfu walked in and then said, "I am here to tell my sister-in-law good news today. I heard from Liu Gutou that the general mentioned at the meeting this morning that after the training of the recruits, he would send troops to recover the lost territory. I think that Ding San Ge's land and soil pension should be able to come down at that time."

The heads of Liu team that An Youfu mentioned are him, Ding Keji, Shi Daniu and others, and the former boss of the former captain of the Fourth Killer Team of Armored Sides. However, this person has been promoted to the commander of a new recruit, otherwise he would not be qualified to receive the news that he would send troops in the second half of the year so early.

As for the so-called land and land pension, it was the pension method announced by Chen Wen after the war after the Simingshan Palace. However, this pension cannot be fulfilled for a while because it has no stable base.

"Uncle An, is this true?" Hearing this news, Ding's mood was invigorated, and a hint of hope appeared between his eyebrows. After all, only with the land can there be a future. But in a flash, a hint of worry was stained with her face. "I have a female squirrel..."

What Ding was worried about was not that the land was not farmed, but that the Ding family had no family as a support, and hiring tenants would likely be bullied. In ancient times, landlords did not have absolute advantages. If the landlords had no boxing or courage, had no power in the local area, and could not speak to the government, it would be normal to be bullied by more arrogant tenants. However, this kind of thing rarely happens under normal circumstances, and even if it happens, it is mostly rich peasants or orphans and widows like Ding's family, because they are relatively weaker, especially the latter.

Hearing this, An Youfu couldn't help but smile and then said, "Sister-in-law, please rest assured. The general cannot see the orphans of his soldiers being bullied by those unlucky people. Even if the general doesn't care about it, our brothers are still there. Whoever dares to come to the door and asks me if I agree or not!"

"Then I will feel at ease."

After a few greetings, An Youfu cut off the firewood and filled the water tank, and then hurried back to the barracks.
Chapter completed!
