On the sixth day of the first lunar month, classes were held again at the military academy.

Deng Jian hung the name of the deputy mountain chief and officially met with the students.

There is Premier Song Lin's government affairs in Yangzhou, as well as heavy troops to guard it, and the time for Deng Jian's repentance is set after the Lantern Festival, so that there is a decade of time to "discipline" the students.

After a month of study, eating and living together, the students of the four classes are almost familiar with each other.

Whether it is daily exercises or small classes in each class, it is also beginning to get better.

Deng Jian has always been taciturn, not as proficient in the world as the master of Ma Zhai, which makes people feel like a spring breeze, nor is he as knowledgeable and admirable as Master Lin, nor is he as solemn and awe-inspiring as Monk Feng, nor is he as approachable and involuntarily approachable as Shui Jin.

In ten years, Deng Jian only appeared three times.

Once at the small gathering on the sixth day of the first lunar month, he followed Huo Wu, stood on the stage, and met with all living beings; One is the "military exercise" on the 10th day of the first month, and the other is the gathering of students on the 15th day of the first month.

For Deng Jian, the first general of the Chuzhou Army, the sentient beings are more afraid.

Just these three times, there is no amiable feeling.

In front of Deng Jian, no one dared to step forward to get close; In private, the students in each dormitory got together, and they had to talk about the No. 2 person in the Chuzhou Army in private, and there was a controversy.

"The momentum of the Taiwei is already pressing, and Marshal Deng's momentum is even more fierce than that of the Taiwei!"

"That's murderous! Don't talk about other places, let's talk about Jinling, how many people did Marshal Deng kill? ”

"Humph! How many good things do those ground snakes have? If they don't kill, they're afraid, where will they be honest and obedient? ”

"In the end, the killing is too heavy, and Lord Taiwei has never killed in vain......"

"Lord Taiwei treats people with sincerity and is too benevolent......"

Most of the people who disputed Deng Jian's views were the students of the logistics class and the staff class.

They are not on the front line of the conquest, and most of them are readers, and they think more.

Wenwu Shutu is talking about this truth.

But for the students of the general class, even if they are not under Deng Jian's command, they have many opportunities to see Deng Jian's bravery in the Chuzhou Army's expedition all the way.

"Marshal Deng's weapons are also double-handed, and he will win every battle along the way, and he will definitely become a famous general like the fifth marshal in the future!"

"The Deng family lives in the same township as the fifth family, and they have been married for generations, and there are many generals in the ancestors who follow the fifth marshal to conquer......"

"Our Chuzhou army can get to this day, Marshal Deng is not to say that he should be the first to make the first contribution, it is also very important!"

"Look at those grandsons in the staff class, they are like chicks in front of Marshal Deng, and they don't dare to breathe, haha!"

“……”

In fact, whether it is the staff squad's defensiveness and scrutiny of Deng Jian, a fierce general, or the increasingly fanatical admiration of the war squad, for Deng Jian, it is all calm.

On the sixteenth day of the first month, Deng Jian took his personal guards and went to Yangzhou again.

At the end of the first month, when the cadets graduate, suitable people will be sent to Yangzhou, and Deng Jian will return to Jinling to prepare for the war.

That's right, it's about preparing for war.

Just a few days after the year, news came back from the capital.

The cabinet issued an edict on the day before the closure of the twelfth day of the lunar month, and transferred Shanxi troops to the south to quell the rebellion, targeting the Taizhou Whiteshirt Army, which had been torn apart from Huai'an Province and claimed the king; He also transferred the Hanzhong army to Wuchang Mansion, and with the previous imperial court, he surrounded and suppressed the emperor's Qichun white shirt.

Although the main purpose of the imperial court this time was not the Chuzhou army in Jinling, no one could say that the follow-up of the counterinsurgency would be so.

The Qichun army had the largest territory and the most soldiers, but Hangzhou was defeated in front, and it lost several state capitals in a row, and it was only after retreating to Hubei that it was saved.

Before the imperial court, the army was in Wuchang Mansion, and then the Hanzhong people were transferred over, and the life of the Qichun army was difficult.

If the Qichun army can't resist and is wiped out by the imperial court's soldiers and horses, then it will be the Chuzhou army that faces the pressure of the army.

However, now that the imperial court is corrupt and the armament and food are insufficient, few of the so-called officers and soldiers really dare to kill the enemy, and more of them are plundering places under the banner of counterinsurgency.

"There is more help for the righteous, but less help for the unjust", such a counterinsurgency army, facing the Qi Chun army with strong morale, is more likely to confront, and the chance of victory is not much.

In this way, the imperial court's increase in the direction of Qichun is an opportunity for the Chuzhou army.

Shui Jin is preparing for war in Luzhou and taking the remaining three state capitals of Huainan Province in one fell swoop, so he doesn't have to worry that the Qichun army will transfer troops to block it.

It is said that "the white shirt in the world is one", but there is the Chaohu War in front, the Qichun army and the Chuzhou army are either friends or enemies, and they will fight sooner or later.

The Chuzhou army is not taking advantage of the fire to rob.

On the contrary, it was Huai'an and Taizhou, but the Chuzhou army was not really making any trouble.

Otherwise, the Taizhou army will not be able to resist the counterinsurgency, which will indeed do more harm than good to the Chuzhou army.

After all, the Taizhou Army and the Chuzhou Army now have contacts, and they are also friendly troops, and they depend on each other.

If the Taizhou army can resist the imperial court to quell the rebels, if it can't resist, it is impossible to say that the Chuzhou army will have to help.

According to the previous plan of the Chuzhou Army, it was named under the banner of the Bozhou Army, with the Bozhou Army as the northern domain, but who made the Bozhou Army the weakest among the white-shirted troops, but now it is not.

With Qichun white shirts and Taizhou white shirts in front, the imperial court also knew the details of the Bozhou army, knew that they were the remnants of the Maitreya sect, occupied one or two states, and compared with other white shirts, there was only a false name, which was naturally not put in the eyes of the imperial court, and even the Chuzhou Department under the Bozhou army did not attract attention.

However, even if it is valued, the imperial court has no way to quell the rebellion in Gangnam Province for the time being.

After all, Henan Province and Huainan Province are eroded, and most of the state capitals in Jiangnan East Province and Jiangnan West Province are either under the rule of the Chuzhou Army or under the rule of the Qichun Army.

As for the garrisons in Fujian and Guangdong, the distance was far away for a while, and it was not easy to go north; Instead, the places in the south were mixed with seedlings, and the place was not peaceful, and the imperial court garrison had no time to take care of it.

Now the Chuzhou Army is facing the greatest opportunity, and the Taizhou Army and the Qichun Army will be completely contained.

Before the Taizhou army took Suzhou Mansion and the defenders of Jiangnan Dongdao, the Chuzhou army really had peace of mind.

Deng Jian came back in early February to prepare for the "Eastern Crusade".

By the end of the first month, the military academy's discipline classes were almost the same, and there were all kinds of assessment ratings left.

Those with superior grades will be upgraded and reused.

Those with average grades use their strengths.

Those with inferior grades are demoted.

The students who can get a place in the military academy all have their own strengths, some are average, and only two or three are inferior, and it is not that they lack ability, and those who violate school rules and regulations or misbehave in private have omitted the details and have been blacklisted by the Ministry of Supervision.

This misconduct is naturally not a trivial problem, but a major problem with verified evidence.

These people were wrongly held accountable by the Ministry of Supervision.

As for "downgrading and listening", it is a tactful way of saying it.

After all, in the two-month military academy career, all the commanders have taught real skills.

If these "misbehaving students" are directly removed and let them switch to other white shirts, it will be a loss for Chuzhou white shirts.

With the article of "demotion and listening", there is an explanation to the outside world.

In fact, the three military cadets who were evaluated as inferior went to the "hard labor camp".

As for their dissatisfaction and lack of pickiness, there is no room for them to speak.

Several students from the Scout Army have good evaluation results, and the worst ones are also "upper-middle", like Huo Bao, Li Yuan, and Zhu Qiang, all of whom are "upper-middle", and Hou Xiaoming and Shi San have even won the "upper" evaluation.

You must know that there are only three or five students in each class who are "on the top" for evaluation.

The fact that the young Scout generals are so old and classmates with their fathers and brothers can still stand out shows their qualifications and efforts.

After the evaluation, unlike other results-based listening, the small leaders of the Scouts still returned to the child soldiers and began to prepare for war.

"Call" is not not not said, "promotion" is also suspended, but will be such as their personnel booklets.

After all, the worst of them now are all at the level of thousands of households, and there is no shortage of 5,000 people at the level of deputy generals, and it is not good to be promoted again.

When the Child Soldier Division expands the army in the future, and they make meritorious deeds, this will be added.

"Dad, really let my son go to Suzhou with you?"

When Huo Bao heard the news, he couldn't believe it, and hurriedly asked his father for verification.

You must know that Daddy was reluctant to let him out before.

After all, the current expedition is different from the previous time when it was fought in Hezhou and Luzhou, and the risk is even greater.

"Now the three who can lead the troops to fight are your cousin, Shui Jin, and Monk Feng, compared with the two places in the west, it is more secure in the east, and follow your cousin to take Changzhou Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, and Songjiang Mansion......"

Huo Wu explained carefully.

As for the eight men and horses of Du Lao, they have been turned into defenders and are responsible for the security of Jinling.

Half of the old department led by Ma Juzi returned to the command of the master of Ma Zhai and turned into logistics auxiliaries; Half of it was under the name of Huo Hu and became the partial army of the Shuijin Department.

At present, the Chuzhou army is fighting Suzhou Mansion, there is no need to worry about the Taizhou army crossing the river to make trouble, and it is the strongest Deng Jian who leads the troops, and Huo Bao takes the child soldiers to fight with him, which is the safest.

Huo Bao also had some expectations, and said: "Not to mention Suzhou, if you take tens of thousands of garrisons, the Chuzhou army can replenish its troops in addition to the troubles; Mainly on the side of Songjiang Mansion, the seaside salt field is not less than the Jiangbei salt field, and if Songjiang Mansion is taken, there will be one more supply of military supplies in the future! ”

The two salt farms sent to him by the "Ninth Master" are under the jurisdiction of Songjiang Mansion.

The Chuzhou army recruited more than 100,000 troops in Jinling, Zhenjiang, and Taiping in October last year, and it was already unable to make ends meet.

In order to solve this urgent need, the Lingshui Gold Mine sent an additional 1,000 strong soldiers to mine day and night.

According to the news from Lingshui, the main veins of the gold mine have been almost mined, and only scattered branch veins remain.

In another month or two, the sporadic veins will be almost mined, and the Lingshui gold mine will become a waste mine.

Open source as soon as possible has also become the biggest problem that the Chuzhou army needs to solve.

There are iron mines in Changzhou, salt farms in Songjiang Prefecture, and Suzhou as granaries.

Even if the counterinsurgency army did not move south to contain the Taizhou army, the Chuzhou army would begin preparations for the "Eastern Crusade" after the year......
