Until the afternoon, there was still an endless stream of guests who came to visit the party, and Qian Yuan couldn't wait any longer, so he asked Tan Lun to take Tang Shunzhi's eldest son Tang Hezheng, who came to the door, to entertain the guests, and he took Lu Bin and others to the clinic to find a vacant room to sit down.

"Forget it, what kind of tea is poured here?" Qian Yuan waved his hand, even on the first day of the Lunar New Year, there are people in the clinic who are on duty in turn, and it is Qingwen who is on duty today.

Qian Yuan glanced at Yang Wen and said to Qingwen Nunu, who was going out, "Go ahead." ”

Yang Wen was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and turned his head to look at Zhou Ze......

"Ahem." Qian Yuan scratched his nose, he remembered wrong, it was Zhou Ze who fell in love with Qingwen, "Go ahead." ”

Lu Bin and Hou Jigao on the side looked ignorant, and Lu Bin also greeted Zhou Ze, but unfortunately people ignored him, and finally found the opportunity!

"First things first, recruitment." Qian Yuan cheered up, "Today, I have discussed with Governor Tan and Mingtang Gong, and the government will temporarily allocate a batch of silver taels, which will be donated by large households in Taizhou, and 3,000 troops will be recruited from Chuzhou and Jinhua. ”

"Okay." Lu Bin nodded and said: "It's easy to do it with silver, I let the soldiers return to Chuzhou a year ago, and I can bring at least three or four hundred people, and the other side of Jinhua Mansion ......."

Saying that, Lu Bin's eyes fell on Qi Jimei, Qi Jiguang and Yiwu recruited nearly 5,000 troops twice, Qi Jimei followed, this line is ready-made, there is no reason to give up.

"I'll talk about Yuan Jing over there." Qian Yuan waved his hand, "Zhao Dahe of Yiwu Zhixian County is the same year as me, Jimei, you took me to write a letter to the past, but there is one point, we must rather lack than abuse, and the soldiers are not more than fine." ”

"The head of the soldier is not in the weapon, but in training." Hou Jigao said softly: Taizhou has been invaded by Japanese invaders, so the villagers who are recruited into the army often know some fists and feet, and their courage is outstanding, but the effect of military training is actually not as good as that of the young people recruited in Yiwu. ”

Qi Jimei said angrily: "So the eldest brother recruited soldiers, and he trained twice for nearly half a year before it came in handy. ”

"No, half a year is too long." Qian Yuan said categorically: "Xu Hai will not be willing to be lonely, his goals will only be two, one is the southeast coast, and the other is Wang Zhi." ”

"In the previous war year, Xu Hai would not rashly start a war with Wang Zhi again, and last year Xu Hai invaded Jiaxing and Huzhou, although he was defeated in Tongxiang County for a while, but in general, the benefits were quite large." Hou Jigao analyzed: "Xu Hai will inevitably invade again this year, and we don't have much time. ”

"Recruit troops into an army first, and after half a month of training, fight while training, and train troops in battle." Qian Yuan said coldly: "You have recruited a total of 2,000 troops before, and the reason why I proposed to recruit 3,000 soldiers is because of this." ”

Lu Bin and the other three were silent, training soldiers in battle is a method, for example, the newcomers recruited by the Qian family's guards in Taizhou were immediately reborn after two major battles in Changshui Town and Tongxiang County, but this was very cruel, and most of the dozens of people killed in the escort team were newcomers.

Qian Yuan ignored the silence of the three people, and continued: "Although we saved some face in Jiaxing Mansion a few months ago, it was actually Xu Hai's return from a great victory. ”

"In terms of equipment, I will transfer a part of it from the Taizhou Mansion, and the blacksmith will make it as soon as possible, and if it is not enough, I will go to the Governor's Mansion......" Qian Yuan looked at the map temporarily hanging on the wall, "There is no need for the whole army to be dispatched, thousands or hundreds of people, take turns to patrol and fight, and the veterans and recruits will each ......."

Out of the corner of his eye, Lu Bin glanced at Yang Wen in the corner, and whispered: "Zhancai, it's easy to say, but there is really a shortage of manpower." ”

"General Qi's command also fights in a small formation, and he has the same thing as us." Hou Jigao analyzed: "Now there are 30 people in the army as a team, with a chief and deputy captain, and five teams as an officer, so as to lead the president. ”

"Each team has four wolf's fangs, twelve spearmen, eight shield-bearers, and the rest are armed with long knives, short spears, and bows and arrows."

"In addition, there is a single bird gun team, and the number of people is uncertain, depending on how many bird guns can be obtained."

Qian Yuan pondered in his heart while listening, this is very different from the Mandarin Duck Formation in history, and it has also shown good results in several battles, but there are also weaknesses, such as the victory in Tongxiang County, the real widows who entered the battle almost disrupted the entire front, or Zhong Nan led the Tianzhou wolf soldiers to check and fill in the gaps.

Qian Yuan did not have the talent to directly command the battle, but he knew very well the importance of reserves, which were important forces that could enter the battle at a critical moment, or turn the tide, or collapse the opponent.

After explaining carefully, Lu Bin and Hou Jigao glanced at each other, and the former said: "Zhancai, this can be regarded as a pro-soldier, generally speaking, there are more than a dozen pro-soldiers around each general." ”

"It's not enough, one general commanded five teams, more than a dozen pro-soldiers...... The heralds are barely enough. Qian Yuan shook his head, "Each commander must always be equipped with at least a team of thirty people. ”

"Where's the equipment?"

"Don't use a wolf's tooth, a few spears are enough, and use more long knives." Qian Yuan sighed and said, "It's a pity that Tian Zhoubing is about to return to his hometown......"

Tian Zhou soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and they shuttle in the mountains all the year round, and their bodies are flexible, if each is equipped with thirty wolf soldiers around him, once there is a danger, it will be much safer.

However, the Tianzhou wolf soldiers set out as early as the 33rd year of Jiajing, during which they were replenished twice one after another, and the number of soldiers exceeded 5,000.

In last year's war, the wolf soldiers of Tianzhou were released from the cage by Hu Zongxian at a critical moment, first rushed to Cixi, and then returned to Yuyao, beheading hundreds.

Qian Yuan calculated in his heart, recruited 3,000 soldiers to practice, left more than 2,000, plus more than 1,000 veterans before, about 4,000 people, calculated that there were about 200 people in the six teams under his command, and the pro-soldier team equipped with five or six hundred people, I don't know if he can get five or six hundred wolf soldiers with this face......

When he came back to his senses, Qian Yuan found that Lu Bin, Hou Jigao, and Qi Jimei were all staring at him, and he couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "I know what your idea is, I have been eyeing it for a long time...... Well, you're cheap! ”

Hou Jigao laughed and said: "Wang Yi, Yang Wen, Zhang San, and Zhou Ze have all killed a lot of widows in the past few years, and the escort team is even more famous in the world......

"What do you want?!" Qian Yuan scoffed, "It's impossible to give it all to you." ”

Lu Bin rushed to speak at this time, "I want Yang Wen." ”

"I have been friends with Brother Yang since Huating......"

"As early as the victory in Jiading, I fought side by side with Brother Yang!"

Can't blame them for robbing like this, Yang Wen was famous as early as Jiading and Chongde County after several big victories, the year before last thousands of miles to pursue the Japanese Kou, Yang Wen commanded Ruoding, defeated the Japanese several times, Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang were all interested in it, and tried several times, but Yang Wen thought about it for a long time or refused.

But now in Taizhou, Yang Wen, a local, has long been unable to bear it, and Liang Wen and Zhou Ze have privately asked Qian Yuan to be recruited into the army.

"Yang Wen, Zhang San, and Zhou Ze are all given to you, and Lao Wang left to command the escort team, how to divide it is your business, but you can't wronged them!"

As soon as Qian Yuan's words came out, Lu Bin nodded vigorously and said: "Yang Wen and Zhang San are both generals, and Zhou Ze is still with the bird team, can he be the general manager in the future...... Then it depends on how many birds you can get. ”

"Don't worry." Qian Yuan turned around and asked, "How many people are in the escort team now?" ”

"The old man is seventy-two, and he started recruiting a few years ago, and there are many people who take the initiative to come to the door, but fifty-three people are carefully selected." Yang Wen blurted out, "We will continue to recruit after the year, and the total number of people will be more than two hundred." ”

"Recruit and train as soon as possible." Qian Yuan thought for a while, "Give you a month, and then the old people who have participated in the two great victories in Jiaxing will send forty people, and you will take them away." ”

Lu Bin and Hou Jigao's mouths were wide open, this was an unexpected joy, they were both strong generals in the army, and they knew very well the ability of the old men in the escort team.

Skilled in martial arts is a trivial matter, the key is that they can immediately act as commanders at the grassroots level, in the two major wars of Jiaxing Mansion, Qian Yuan basically scattered the escort troops and distributed them throughout the battle, commanding the Yiwu soldiers to resist the impact of the Japanese invaders.

It can be said that the first merit of the two great victories lies in the Yiwu soldiers, but the first merit of the Yiwu soldiers lies in the Qian family's guards.
