After practicing the battle for a whole morning, it was lunch time again. ⊙There were fish again for lunch. This time, a few fire soldiers came from Jiangli. They borrowed nets from the crew and went down to catch fish by themselves. There were a lot of fish in Jiangli. A few fire soldiers didn't spend much time, so many fish came online.

They chose a few of the largest river carp to make sashimi. The sashimi is also called fish-sauce, which is actually sashimi. This is also what the fire soldiers and crew members eat. It is said that the sashimi is quite fresh and delicious. Cut it into thin fish fillets and then dip it in some sauce. It is simple and delicious.

The stewed carp was ready and when the meal was about to start, Liu Jun took Mei Zhihuan and Li Changgeng and others to board their boat.

"It seems that we are very happy. We actually have some stewed carp and are we still worth it?" Liu Jun said to Mei Zhihuan and Li Changgeng with a smile, and then asked the several fire soldiers who were a little nervous.

"There are also many Jiangli in the bucket over there." A somewhat thin fire soldier replied.

"Then what are you waiting for? Go and do it quickly." Mei Zhihuan said to him with a smile.

Qi One-eyed strode forward and reported loudly, "Qi Yuan, the former head of the front bureau of the Left Department of the Breakfast Battalion, met with the Prime Minister, the Governor and the Guerrilla Lord."

Liu Jun whispered to Mei Zhihuan and Li Changgeng, "Qi Duoyan is from Shaanxi. He once recruited border troops. Later, he made a fuss because of his owed wages. He finally became a deserter and later joined the bandits. Since the early years of Chongzhen, he was among bandits for more than ten years. Later, he was captured in the Battle of Hutoubao. Before being captured, he was the old Hui Hui brother Ma Shouchengying Zhongzhang Family."

"But we have conducted an investigation, and this person is not good. Although he has been a thief for more than ten years, he has never done anything that harms the law. It is just a situation that has been forced by the situation. Since joining us, he has performed very well after observation. He is now in charge of the baggage battalion, and he has also practiced very well. He has performed best among the baggage battalion."

Mei Zhihuan nodded. "Yes, you can correct your mistakes, but it's the shore to turn back." He patted Qi's one-eyed arm, "Even in the darkest time, he still retains kindness, and does not completely degenerate. He has not committed those unforgivable crimes. It means that you are a good person in your heart. Do it well and redeem the mistakes you have made in the past."

The stewed carp was really good, fresh and delicious. Liu Jun, Mei Zhihuan, Li Changgeng and others were very happy to eat. Mei Zhihuan even gave two taels of silver to each of the five fire soldiers.

After lunch, Liu Jun began to check the proficiency of the one-eyed team of people in Caodian.

"Private, tell me what to do if my companion has a disease?" Liu Jun asked loudly at a militiaman in a surprise force.

"Report to the commander, if any soldier is sick, the accomplice will report to the team general, and the team general will report to the flag general, and they will go to the resting place to check. Then they will report to the general and the head general and report to the general and the head general. The head general will send a doctor to the supervisor again and report to the general and the head general. The head general will report to the general and report to the general and the general and the head general. The head general will report to the general and report to the general and the general and the general will report to the general and the general will inform the general. Therefore, the general and the general will report to the general and the general will be immediately relieved. If the patient is reported to the general and the patient will be punished immediately, the person who is delayed due to the delayed report will be investigated." The firearm answered loudly.

Mei Zhihuan and Li Changgeng were holding nine-headed bird casing script in their hands. Compared with the regulations, they found that the team member's answer was exactly the same as the casing script, and they were just right, and they were surprised.

Liu Jun turned around and asked the next musketman, "Private, tell me how to visit the sick soldiers?"

"Report to the commander, all the sick soldiers who are sick at first will be treated as if they are in the team leader from now on. The general rules of the flag will be viewed one day, the general rules of the hundred and three days, the general rules of the thousand and ten days, and the general rules of the camp will be viewed every half month, and the general will be treated as a serious person."

"Private, tell me, what are you going to do when you hear the blowjob?"

"Report to the throne, the soldiers must get up. When blowing again, the soldiers must get on the horses, the chariots and the infantry hold the equipment."

"Private, tell me what it means to beat a gong?"

"Report to the commander, whenever you beat a gong, you need the soldiers of each horse to dismount and the chariots to get off the chariots. Then you need the soldiers to sit on the ground and rest, and all the flags are lying down."

Liu Jun asked questions one by one. Every soldier asked could immediately answer the exact answer loudly, and everyone answered it, which was quite good.

Mei Zhihuan and Li Changgeng couldn't help but admire it. The most important thing for an army is to smooth command from top to bottom, and the soldiers' first control is to command the flag and drum orders. If they can't even understand the flag and drum orders, how can they mobilize and fight?

The most basic thing for an elite army is to listen to the sound of gold and drums and look at the color of the flag. If the drums are endless, then even if there is a mountain of swords and sea of ​​fire in front, you have to go through fire and water. If the sound of gold should stop, even if there are good horses in front of them, you are not allowed to turn your head back once.

If this can be achieved, this army will definitely be an elite force.

Mei Zhihuan was very interested in seeing it, and personally asked for some flag orders. As a result, the soldiers who were asked could answer correctly for the various flag orders he had put forward.

"Some people will spend a lot of time every day to learn the orders from the day they enter the camp." Liu Jun said to Meili and Li with some pride.

"Very good." Mei Zhihuan nodded with satisfaction, "It's amazing, but why am I not surprised that you did this?"

"Jiye is born with talent." Li Changgeng praised Liu Jun.

Liu Jun glanced at Qi Yiyan and his subordinates, "These soldiers are only one last step away from now. As long as they take this last step, they can be called a true elite army. This last step is to go through actual combat tests."

It is actually very irresponsible to bring the newly recruited recruits onto the battlefield so quickly, but time does not wait for anyone. Although such an approach will inevitably lead to many casualties of the new recruits, fortunately, what they have to deal with is only the Liu bandits, not the Jianlu outside the pass. The Liu bandits are poorly equipped and have a lot of chaotic. To deal with them, the Jiutou's new recruits still have many advantages. If they are to deal with the Jianlu, Liu Jun would never agree. Letting the new recruits fight against the fierce Jianlu would be truly irresponsible and careless of human lives.

Liu Jun believed that sooner or later, they would fight against Jianlu, but hoped that that day would come later. Every day, the Nine-Headed Bird would grow a little bit, and he hoped that when they fought against Jianlu, the Nine-Headed Bird had grown.

Liu Jun and others finally left with satisfaction, and Qi Duoyan and his subordinates lined up to see him off. When Liu Jun left, he was very satisfied with Qi Duoyan and was also very satisfied with the game he trained. He even gave Qi Duoyan ten taels of silver.

As Qi's one-eyed boss, Zhang Donggou Qian, the camp general Cai Yuan and others were very satisfied. They felt that Qi's one-eyed boss had made them face today.

Cai Yuan even generously rewarded Qi Duyan with five taels of silver. After the Shangguans left, Qi Duyan handed the silver to one of his personal soldiers, who was responsible for the money and grain in the bureau. "Put these fifteen taels of silver into the account."

Qi Duyan built an account in the bureau and put some silver coins in it, which were specially used as a reward for the excellent team members in the team. The silver coins were mainly Qi Duyan’s own money, and some of them came from fines for the team members who performed poorly. The camp usually assessed and rewarded and punished the team members, but Qi Duyan had stricter requirements for his team members. He set higher standards, and the best ones were rewarded, and the worst ones were fined.

The war is about to go, and Qi Duyan and his men had already raised dozens of taels of silver to deposit it in the account. The money will be used as a pension for the casualties in their bureau next battle. Their own bureau's pension.

Qi Duoyan is now a bachelor, without any worries. He deposited most of the family expenses and salary rewards into the tent.

At the intersection of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Chu provinces, more and more official troops gathered here during this period. The troops from Shaanxi, Henan and Sichuan provinces began to enter, blocking the roads to Sichuan and Shaanxi. However, the main force of various official troops was still intercepted on the border between Chu and Shaanxi.

Among the troops, Zuo Liangyu's troops were the most active. After the defeat in Fang County, Zuo Liangyu, who had originally failed to send out of Junzhou, received Yang Sichang's handwritten letter. After receiving Yang Sichang's promise to recommend him as the general of the thief, he finally went out again. Moreover, with the promise of the general of the thief, Zuo Liangyu was very active this time. One was the general of the thief, and the other was to avenge revenge, he summoned all the surrendered generals and their subordinates under his name, and set up defenses along the Chu-Shaanxi border, and vowed to capture Xiong Wencan alive.

Yang Sichang also led a large army gathered in Xiangyang and began to march towards Yunyang.

At this time, in the mountainous areas of Yunyang, Zhang Xianzhong met with Luo Rucai and other bandits.

In the valley, bandits gathered in various ways, and the camps lasted for several miles, with tens of thousands of bandits.

"Huguang can't stay anymore. Yang Sichang has mobilized all kinds of troops and the net is getting tighter and tighter." Luo Rucai, nicknamed Cao Cao, told Zhang Xianzhong.

"Don't worry, Yang Sichang can't surround us." Zhang Xianzhong said with a smile. He pointed to the map spread on the table and said, "Look, according to our sentry recruits, Yang Ge's troops seemed to have planned to return to Shaanxi. Therefore, he asked our defeated general Zuo Liangyu to guard Xing'an and Pingli areas. He also ordered Shaanxi Governor Zheng Chongjian to lead Qin troops to station in Xixiang, and Yang Sichang personally led several Jing camps and Henan, and several Huguang troops rushed from Xiangyang to Yunyang."

"See, Yang Sichang wanted to block the front and chase the back. But there was a big loophole in his deployment, that is, there was no deployment of many troops on the Sichuan-Chu border. The Kuizhou Prefecture had very weak troops. It is also known that the person ordered to guard Dachang City, the gateway to Kuizhou was Zhang Zukai, the deputy general of Sichuan. He led 5,000 troops to guard Dachang City and blocked the way into Sichuan."

"There are quite a few 5,000 soldiers. If you are a general with a little skill, it might be a bit troublesome. But Zhang Zukai, as far as I know, is just a timid and cowardly guy. He has no real ability except for his empty salary and blood. And I also heard that many of the five thousand soldiers under Zhang Zukai are actually empty, and the real number is only 3,000, and 40% of them have been empty. Moreover, only these 3,000 soldiers have not received the salary for a long time, and the army has no fighting spirit."

Luo Rucai pinched his chin and asked, "Are you sure you want to enter Sichuan? There is still Qin Liangyu in Chongqing. This girl is difficult to deal with. If she is blocked in Chongqing, we will be in a state of great progress and retreat."

The stone pillar white pole soldiers led by Qin Liangyu are famous all over the world and are considered a special army of the Ming Dynasty. These chieftain soldiers are extremely fierce, and are as well as the Miao soldiers from Huguang and the wolf soldiers from Guangxi. They are known as the three chieftain soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. They are even more fierce than the guards and many border soldiers of the court.

Qin Liangyu's white-sling soldiers even went out of seclusion to fight against the Later Jin soldiers several times, and they were not afraid of the Iron Cavalry of Jianzhou. In the early years, the rebels in Sichuan were also pacified by Qin Liangyu's white-sling soldiers. In recent years, the rebels from all over the world had also fought with the Baigang soldiers many times. Many rebels were defeated by this chieftain, and even many once-proud leaders were cut off their heads in exchange for rewards.

When talking about Qin Liangyu and her Baigang Soldier, Luo Rucai and others were indeed a little afraid.

Zhang Xianzhong said disdainfully, "How old is Qin Liangyu today? I'm afraid she's over 60 years old. No matter how powerful she is, she is still a woman or an old woman. What's the point of fear? As long as we enter Sichuan, how can we stop us by just her? When we break into western Sichuan, there is a great plain, extremely rich, and the government army can't stop us at all. In a year or two, we can repeat the momentum of that year."

On that day, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai and other bandits reached an agreement and prepared to jump out of Huguang and enter Sichuan.

In the capital, Yang Sichang's memorial was sent to Chongzhen's imperial case at a fast pace.

Chongzhen couldn't help but feel a headache when he saw Yang Sichang's impeachment memorial. He also had many considerations when he appointed Mei Zhihuan as prime minister. Originally, Yang Sichang had recommended one person to recommend Chen Xinjia, the Governor of Xuanda, to take over the position of prime minister, and another court official recommended Sun Chuanting.

But after Lu Xiangsheng died in battle at the beginning of the year, Xuanda Shanxi still needed Chen Xinjia, a general. As for Sun Chuanting, he was not considered at all, because Sun Chuanting was in prison. Sun Chuanting had previously had a disagreement with Yang Sichang, which eventually led to Sun Chuanting being angry and asked to resign and take the lead. Chongzhen was angry and threw Sun Chuanting into prison.

How could Chongzhen transfer Sun Chuanting to serve as Prime Minister now? Originally, the best candidate for Prime Minister in his heart was Hong Chengchou, but Hong Chengchou is now governor Ji Liao, and he is in charge of defense outside the pass, and he cannot be pulled away at all.

Finally, he picked up and chose Mei Zhihuan, a native of Huguang who was more capable of leading troops among the civil officials. He hoped to use this person to train a very powerful regiment in his hometown after he arrived at the officialdom. He led the Qihuang village group last time to repel the military officials who returned to the Left Five Battalion to attack eastern Hubei and reversed the situation of bandits in the Central Plains.

However, Yang Sichang immediately began to impeach Mei Zhihuan. Mei Zhihuan's actions were indeed a bit too much. He did not take Yang Sichang, the supervisor, seriously and argued on his own.

Headache!

Chongzhen rubbed his head. Could it be that he was going to dismiss the Prime Minister he had just appointed? But if he did not support Yang Sichang, he was afraid that the situation of bandit suppression in the Central Plains would be out of control, and the supervisor and the Prime Minister were in disagreement, so how could the bandit suppress him?

But after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't make a decision immediately. Finally, he picked up another memorial from Yang Sichang. This one was requesting Zuo Liang Yu to grant the position of General of Punishment of the Bandits, and to grant him the seal of General of Punishment of the Bandits, so that he could command the rest of the towns to suppress the bandits.

Chongzhen didn't like Zuo Liangyu. Over the years, Zuo Liangyu has been suppressing bandits in the Central Plains. He has won many battles, but he has also suffered numerous impeachments, saying that he plundered his troops and did not obey orders, etc., and officials impeached Zuo Liangyu to surrender the bandits and secretly expanded his troops, etc.

Well, recently, there have been several memorials impeaching Zuo Liangyu's private expansion of the army, but several of them also impeached the guerrilla general Liu Jun, whom he had just conferred his imperial seal, also privately expanding the army, saying that Liu Jun, the guerrilla general, now has tens of thousands of troops under his command, and has also built a large-scale firearm shop and privately made firearms.

It is true that Chongzhen asked the Jinyiwei to investigate this matter.

As requested by Yang Sichang, he was appointed as the general of Huguang General Zuo Liangyu and the general of the bandits. Chongzhen finally approved Yang Sichang's memorial, and then kept the memorials of impeachment of Mei Zhihuan, as well as other memorials of impeachment of Zuo Liangyu and Liu Jun's private expansion of troops, as well as Liu Jun's arbitrarily built a military weapon yard, and all of them were left unpublished.
