Chapter 11 The King's Life (Part 2)
After lunch, the soldiers of the family left the barracks and returned home to enjoy the holiday. After checking the garrison situation, Chen Wen returned to the room and began to modify the training plan for the next stage based on the first stage of training results.
In the first phase of training, the main purpose of targeting the new recruits is to strengthen the new recruits' understanding and understanding of military laws and regulations, so that they can 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. Judging from the training results, the first few items are not bad.
There are many military laws in Nantangying, and some additional regulations were made after the war. Although it seems to be a large number, if you obey the orders of the officers and can be integrated into the robes, the basic daily regulations will generally not be violated, and the military laws of those battle formations are still unsatisfied at this moment.
As for the Golden Drum Order, Nantang Camp was not large in scale, so Chen Wen never used complicated flag language like other Ming troops. He relied on golden drums and some simple flag languages to command the battle. Since there were not many books to learn, most new recruits could also know the meaning of flag language and golden drum during random inspections of each team.
During the training period, Chen Wen organized some officers and soldiers who performed well in the battle behind the palace to preach. Against the backdrop of a crushing defeat, facing five times the elite Qing army's green camp, Nantang Camp went through several twists and turns to protect the people from evacuating Siming Mountain. Finally, the Ming army defeated him in the Qing army's artillery fire.
Such stories are the most popular among the people, especially the war happened in front of them. Not only the people like to talk, but even the storyteller also compiled new jokes and quickly spread them in the Tiantai Mountain area.
Although these new recruits did not see them with their own eyes, they almost all came from those people who could survive the defeat of the Qing army by the Nantang Camp. Now listening to the narration of these combat heroes, they were even more excited, and their training was more hard-working and the effect was pretty good.
In view of the necessity of brainwashing work, Chen Wen wondered whether to make a troupe come out and promote it in the form of storytelling, drama and other performances to achieve inspiring effects.
There is no need to use all the contents in Nantangying. Some heroes of this era can also be used. There are also stories of Han heroes in other dynasties that resist the invasion of barbarians and barbarians. They can be widely promoted. Just as he once told the ancient times at the foot of Dalan Mountain, it is necessary to promote nationalist ideas with the defense of the barbarians and the stories of Han heroes.
However, since there is no stable base here, this army is almost unable to afford it. The economic foundation does not exist, and this highly feasible plan cannot be put on the agenda. It seems that it is better to wait another half a year.
Unlike these training programs with significant results, physical training cannot reveal anything in just half a month. In addition, due to economic problems and the reduction in the proportion of meat intake, the speed of physical strengthening of this group of new recruits will inevitably be unable to compare with the veterans raised by the training of one meat and vegetable every day in Dalanshan Old Camp. However, this is the case for the time being, after all, this is not allowed in the economy.
Compared with these new recruits, veterans are much simpler. Those who have not been promoted still maintain their position in the queue. Those who have been promoted can only adapt to new positions. They understand the regulations and military orders, so it is much easier than those who have been promoted.
Next is the second stage of training. Chen Wen thought for a moment and felt that physical training should continue to be grasped. This stage of training also added the use of weapons and equipment, which should reveal more problems, just like when the army was expanded last time, especially the use of bird guns, which requires strict attention.
Chen Wen copied these and prepared to discuss the officers after they returned to the camp tomorrow night. After the copying was over, it was already evening before he knew it. Since Zhang Jun had returned home, he ordered a new young soldier to call Qi Xiufeng.
Not long after, Qi Xiufeng followed the young soldier to Chen Wen. After the last corruption case, Qi Xiufeng was punished with a three-punishment penalty, dismissal and a rod due to poor supervision. The position of the quarantine officer has been replaced by Sun Yu. After Qi Xiufeng recovered from his injuries, Chen Wen was arranged by Chen Yu to assist in the management of the military officer.
This is actually unreasonable, but now there are too few scholars who can be used in his hands, and the officials of the old camp are all under Wang Jiang's command. Although due to the fall of the base, these old camp officials have lost their previous affairs, but these tens of thousands of people are still under the supervision of the Ming army in Dalan Mountain. They have a lot of affairs. It is good that Chen Wen can bring Sun Yu.
After the young soldier turned around, Chen Wen looked at the white-faced scholar in front of him. Not only did he not fall into a slump by setbacks, he felt that he had become much more mature. He could only vaguely see the childishness he had at the beginning.
"Cheng Jun, have you realized something after following Master Sun these days?"
Hearing Chen Wen's question, Qi Xiufeng quickly replied: "Report to General, I have benefited a lot from being with Master Sun during this period. The method of managing military supplies alone was quite unsatisfactory. Master Sun gave me advice and learned a lot from him, especially how to supervise his subordinates. I think I will never happen like the last time in the future."
Supervise subordinates?
Chen Wen laughed in his heart. He knew that Sun Yu was not a person with a slight personality or a very suspicious person. The method of this person supervising his subordinates was very simple, with only one word - "Qin".
Others may check the inventory in one or two months or quarters, but Sun Yu will check it for at most half a month, and often conduct random checks from time to time. This kind of labor intensity is not something that all officials can bear, but Sun Yu doesn't care at all, because in his eyes, these are all the money and people's money, and it is impossible for those corrupt officials to greed.
After all, Sun Yu's arrangement was based on his nature, or was accomplished by morality, and needed to be improved by the system. However, the logistics of the Ming Army in Dalanshan, including the logistics of Nantangying and the rest of the Houying, still belonged to the jurisdiction of the old camp of Dalanshan. Chen Wen had no intention of challenging Wang Jiang's authority, because he could not guarantee that he would do better than Wang Jiang.
However, when it comes to Qi Xiufeng's appointment, since Sun Yu has taken over the military supplies department, it is difficult to let Qi Xiufeng stay under him for a long time.
"Cheng Jun immediately realized something, so I will say it bluntly. The military supplies matter was taken over by Director Sun. There were no mistakes during this period. I will continue to manage it..."
After hearing this, Qi Xiufeng's face was quite unnatural. After all, it was his former position. Even though he had expected it, he still felt a little pain after hearing this decision. However, since Shangguan was destined, as a subordinate, he could only obey the arrangements, otherwise it would only be more unfavorable to his future career as Gu Shouli told him privately.
The unpleasantness on Qi Xiufeng's face flashed and entered Chen Wen's eyes. In fact, even if he didn't look at him, he could imagine Qi Xiufeng's mood by relying on his understanding of him. So Chen Wen's next sentence was spit out from his mouth.
"Since the beginning of the army, the military judges have been appointed by the military politicians. After this expansion, the number of military politicians has also increased. I am busy with common affairs and can no longer spend any energy to supervise. Therefore, I will decide to give you a month to understand these military regulations. If it is correct in a month, you will be appointed as the military judge of the military corps in the base."
Originally, Chen Wen served as a military judge to strengthen the implementation of the military law regulations. It has been half a year since Nantangying was established and the military law regulations have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so there is no need for him to do this offend. Then, out of the intention of not doing anything to do the best, Qi Xiufeng took this responsibility and took it upon himself.
From a military officer to a military judge, the difference is a huge difference. However, for Qi Xiufeng, he was dismissed only after making mistakes. Being able to regain trust is the most important thing at present. Moreover, in Nantang Camp, military officers will also be subject to strict supervision, and military judges sound more authoritative.
"I will go back to study the military law regulations now, and I will never let down the general's entrustedness."
I hope so.
Next, Chen Wen and Qi Xiufeng talked about the principles of using the military law regulations for a while, and then prepared to go for a meal, but at this moment, the personal soldier came in and told Chen Wen that Wang Xiuquan was back.
Wang Xiuquan was previously sent to meet with the Lu Jianguo, and handed over the details of the Battle of Siming Lake and the victory of the Battle of Siming Mountain. In addition to the obligations that officials of the Lu Jianguo system should fulfill, Chen Wen also expressed the idea of getting a reward. After all, it was about to send troops to recover the lost territory, so it was necessary to have a bigger name to gather people's hearts, otherwise a guerilla garrison would be hard to say.
This time, Wang Xiuquan brought back six people. Except for the two leaders who were said to be the descendants of Li Wenzhong, the remaining four should be just entourage characters. After hearing the words "Li Wenzhong" by Li Wenzhong, Chen Wen's expression was quite unnatural. After all, he used the name of his ancestors to cheat and drink for a long time. If he met the main owner, he would naturally feel guilty.
Because the imperial envoy came by the order of the edict, it was not convenient to talk before reading the edict. Chen Wen and Wang Jiang, who met halfway through, took them to the central army hall of the temporary camp to read the edict.
During this time, in the central army hall, the officials of the old battalion had arrived. On the contrary, Chen Wen's subordinates, Li Ruixin and Yin Yue, who were only a bachelor, rushed over because of the holiday. Even Wu Dengke was not there. Seeing that Wang Jiang and Chen Wen signaled that the people had arrived, the two imperial envoys looked at each other in surprise and then began to read the edict.
First of all, the defeat in the Battle of Siming Lake. The Lu Jianguo, who originally thought that Wang Yi would definitely die in his country, ordered Dong Zhining to prepare a good posthumous title for Wang Yi. Now that Wang Yi was only captured, the posthumous title will not be mentioned. He only gave nominal gifts to the fallen soldiers, and the rest was only verbal rewards. Who made the landlord's family have no surplus grain? The Lu Jianguo court still needs the righteous teachers in eastern Zhejiang to support them, so that they can give some nominal gifts and add some gifts.
Then there was the commendation for Wang Jiang, from managing logistics for Wang Yi on Dalan Mountain, to covering the retreat of the people after the defeat in the Battle of Siming Lake, to the achievements of the battle behind Siming Mountain. These are very consistent with the methods of commending the war by the court in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Regardless of whether the military supervisors have made achievements or not, they will always make contributions as long as they win.
After hearing this, Wang Jiang's face was already quite ashamed. When he looked at Chen Wen, he looked apologetic in his eyes, but what he was greeted was Chen Wen's kind smile.
No matter what you do, your boss can always get more rewards, which is unchanging. Wang Jiang has always given Chen Wen great support. The sloping shoulder manager who did not care about his job and said that if he had any credit, he would be your fault, Chen Wen has not been under his command, and has already experienced it.
In view of Wang Yi being captured and Feng Jingdi died in his country, the lieutenant general of the Lu State General Wang Jiang, the head of the Ministry of Revenue and the right deputy chief of the Censorate of the Censorate, was changed to the governor of Zhejiang and other local governors of the Ministry of Military Affairs and the right deputy chief of the Censorate of the Censorate, and was also given Shangfang's sword, and the specific task was to supervise the Siming and Tiantai Yishi. Of course, according to convention, Wang Jiang's mother was promoted from Shuren to wife, which was raised to a higher level in the class of the wife, which was also considered to be the noble mother and son.
After Wang Jiang thanked him, Chen Wen was rewarded. The defeat in the Battle of Siming Lake led to Chen Wen's praise of paintings. However, the Lu Jianguo still praised him a few words. Then, there was nothing...
In contrast, after the Battle of Siming Lake, Chen Wen had practical contributions to protecting the people's retreat. After that, in the Battle of Siming Mountain, Beizhang Town "defeated" Shaoxing Green Camp and also had the contributions to defeating the enemy. Therefore, the Lu Jianguo decided to promote Chen Wen to general, placing the seal of the general of the army, giving Shangfang sword, and still taking charge of the military affairs of Nantang Camp.
In the previous report of merit, Chen Wen only mentioned the three thousand generals, Wu Dengke, Li Ruixin and Yin Yue. He did not write about the status of other officers.
Chen Wen actually had the idea of reducing the influence of the Lu Supervisor. After all, the exclusion caused a crushing defeat, and he still remembered it fresh. The sequelae left behind caused his trust in other Ming troops to plummet, so it was necessary for him to try to prevent one move.
This time, the three thousand generals under Chen Wen were also appointed as deputy generals. It is estimated that if Chen Wen had strong military strength, it would not be a problem to be awarded titles. These three officers could also sit in the position of the generals of the regiment training, or even the generals of the seal, just like the Ming generals in eastern Zhejiang. However, the Nantang Camp had very few troops and was under the jurisdiction of Wang Jiang, so the promotion speed was not necessary so fast.
Chen Wen was still quite happy after being promoted, even if there was no salary increase, after all, it would be nice to say it when he started to recover lost territory. However, just as he was about to get up and was about to get up, the leader of the imperial envoy took out another edict like a magic trick and continued to read.
"...Qin ordered Chen Wen, the general of Dalanshan, to be diligent in the king's affairs and bravely surpass others. He specially ordered him to lead his troops into the Weixing to fulfill his responsibilities as a guard. Qin said this."
