In front of Changlin Temple, the phalanx stood, Chen Kai nodded, and the small army that had been selected and reorganized was disbanded and returned to the camp.

Compared with half a year ago, Changlin Temple is still Changlin Temple, and that small temple is still like that. Chen Kai has brought a batch of food and a batch of weapons in the past six months, and the scene just now has obviously been reflected in the body of that small army.

"According to the instructions of the army, we selected more than 200 people from the volunteers who stayed behind, and awarded them spears, rifles, and swords. In the past few months, I have been practicing the queue, and now it has become a small success. Just ......"

Speaking of this, Lu Ruoji seems to be a little hesitant, but Chen Kai's reputation is not good, and he is also a scholar whom his brother admires. On the management of talents, he also admires it tightly, but after all, this is military training, in the Ming Dynasty is mostly the work of military generals, civilian officials and doctors occasionally write some military arts, and its actual effect is not confirmed, as a guerrilla general in the Longwu Dynasty, responsible for guarding a pass, he is also inevitable to have some hesitation in these months.

"It's just that this phalanx is dense, but the practice does not emphasize personal martial arts, is it putting the cart before the horse. I'm right, right? ”

"Joining the army is a clear sight."

Sure enough, Chen Kai shook his head and smiled. Zheng Chenggong and Shi Lang have also had such doubts, and they are no strangers to him. However, Lu Ruoji is not a boss like Zheng Chenggong, let alone a competitor like Shi Lang, and many things are different with different identities.

"At that time, Qi Shaobao's mandarin duck array was unique on the southeast coast. Although martial arts are described in the "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and "The Actual Record of Military Training", what is really emphasized is cooperation. And this phalanx is to emphasize the importance of cooperation in a simpler way. ”

Whether Lu Ruoji can understand it or not, it doesn't matter, because Chen Kai is an official at the level of Zhangzhou Prefecture, and these horses in Changlin Temple are just local volunteers, and they have no affiliation with Junzhen, and even Lu Ruoji is still just a guerrilla general of the Longwu Dynasty, and he is also a black household under Zheng Chenggong, and even because of the relationship between the brothers of the Wan family, Lu Ruoji is not a real leader here.

"Eat first, and then talk about anything after eating."

The usual vigorous and resolute action, but a new atmosphere blew to Changlin Temple. At dinner, Chen Kai finished it in a hurry, just to digest it for a while, or to wait for everyone else to finish eating, Chen Kai began to talk one by one.

"I told myself to join the army, and I arrived at Changlin Temple for four months and three days. Personnel selection and various training, Lu Guerrilla and the Wan family brothers are very cooperative, but they are humble and stupid, and they have not been able to comprehend the essence, so that they are still unable to form an army, and they are also invited to join the army and punished. ”

Lin Dezhong came with that batch of weapons, and the spear jungle had already been shown in front of him when he went up the mountain, and Chen Kai originally planned to send a batch of bird guns over, but the regular army of Chaozhou was not satisfied, let alone the volunteers and militias in Zhangzhou. With weapons, the supporting tactics were taught to Lin Dezhong early on, and then Lin Dezhong was in charge of training, but the results were slow at the moment, but no one was to blame. Not to mention, even Chen Kai has never seen a real Spanish phalanx, at most he just watched movies and words.

Helping Lin Dezhong up, Chen Kai pressed him to the seat: "It's already very good, at least I ask myself if I can do better." You can see that you have done your best. After that, Chen Kai patted Lin Dezhong on the shoulder, and then said with a smile: "Your parents and the Yue-in-law family are very good, and Dexiao is now able to shoulder the responsibility of the Arsenal Guard." It's your wife, now with a big belly, probably not far from giving birth, after this battle, go back to South Australia to rest for a few days, and it's a good thing for mother and son to have you by your side. ”

"Humble duty, humble duty, thank you for joining the army."

When these words came into his ears, Lin Dezhong's eyes were already filled with tears. In this regard, Chen Kai just shook his head and smiled, and began to ask him about the details of the training, and the former quickly returned to his proper state.

At the end of the inquiry, Chen Kai already had a rough outline of this, and immediately found a Taoist monk. The last time there was information about the contradiction between Yang Zuo and Wang Qifeng, it was sent by Daozong, but it was not deliberate, but Daozong did have a relationship in Zhangpu, and it came to his ears in all directions.

Although this information does not play a big practical role, but intelligence is like a person you know, not everyone can become a friend, or even a confidant or lover, but some of its existence itself is a fate.

After a few words of appreciation, Dao Zong mentioned some of the news he had recently gotten, and Chen Kai didn't have much value when he heard it. The only thing that can be regarded as something meaningful is that after Wang Qifeng fled, Zhangpu's defense became more tight, and even the neighboring counties, and even Zhangzhou Mansion seemed to have a sense of rumour.

"That's not good news."

Chen Kai's muttering, the Taoist Sect can also understand. At this time last year, the Wanjia brothers did not do their best in attacking Zhangpu, and the result was that they were startled, and it was difficult to have a suitable opportunity for a long time. This time, it is nothing more than a change of protagonist, and the result is also not optimistic.

"The national surname will not stop there, recently, it may be necessary for the Taoist master to walk around the Chaozhou capital city more."

"Don't worry about joining the army, the poor monk will set off early tomorrow morning."

Chen Kai's eyes were cold, and the Taoist Sect was also agitated. Early the next morning, Dao Sect really set off in a hurry, while Chen Kai carried out further observation and training of this small army.

In front of Changlin Temple, this small army of more than 200 people lined up in a phalanx like a knife and axe, marching forward with neat steps. Marching, arranging, engagement, pursuit, simulating battlefield conditions, it seems that it is far less skilled than simply advancing in formation. Chen Kai didn't know exactly what the problem was, so he could only practice and observe little by little, looking forward to finding out the problem and the solution as quickly as possible, so that the actual combat ability of the phalanx could be improved.

For a whole day, Chen Kai's eyes never left those soldiers almost the whole time, except for lunch. Until the end of the training, he went back to rest, and halfway through walking, Chen Kai suddenly remembered a question, so he asked Lu Ruoji beside him: "General Lu, is there any way from Zhangpu County to Yunxiao Town?" ”

Lu Ruoji is a native of Kinmen, but before contacting the Wanjia brothers to attack Zhangpu earlier, he also had a certain understanding of this place. At this moment, Chen Kai asked, Lu Ruoji frowned and thought about it, and then gave an answer: "Pantuoling!" If you want to go from Zhangpu County to Yunxiao Town, if you take the land route, it is the only way to go. ”

"Pantuoling." Reading the name of the place, Chen Kai nodded, and then said: "This year, maybe we will sing a big show in such a place, maybe it's not possible." ”

"Dare to ask if you join the army, sing, well, what kind of drama are you singing?"

"Three forks!"
