Zhu Youxiao was very surprised, he couldn't imagine that this fan would make so much money. He called Wei Zhongxian and asked him to take half of the fans' income as a bonus for Li Yongzhen and others, and become a permanent example, he knew that only his own career would stimulate people's greatest initiative, and now Li Yongzhen's income is closely related to the profits of the fan factory, so they will naturally try their best to improve their profits. However, he also instructed Wei Zhongxian that the accounts must be clear, and the accounts must be settled twice a year, and at least twice from time to time, so as not to enrich anyone's pockets.

By December of the first year of the Apocalypse, Sun Chuanting had recruited 10,000 soldiers in Yan'an Mansion, and under the training of the monks of Shaolin Temple, he had mastered the use of spears and shield knives, and Zhu Youxiao sent them a hundred veterans who had participated in the Liaodong Campaign in September. He was going to send four of the battalions with excellent results back to the Beijing Division to join the Guards, and sent Yang Lian to do just that.

In the first month of the second year of the Apocalypse, the Hetao Mongolia, and the Red Department were reorganizing the soldiers and horses, and last year's harvest was not very good, and the Mongolians had to start what they did most often in disaster years: robbing the Ming Dynasty.

Also Chibe belongs to the Mongolian right wing, originally the Ming Dynasty stipulated, if a year of peace and quiet, you can exchange the market for a year, the Mongolians like to exchange the market, because you can exchange fur or something for the daily necessities of the Ming Dynasty, and these daily necessities are actually necessary for them.

But this year's harvest was too poor, the weather was too cold and the snow was too heavy, and the livestock starved to death. If you don't rob the Ming Dynasty, you won't be able to live this year, and it doesn't matter if there is a mutual market next year, let's grab it first.

Akabe can gather a total of about 8,000 string-controlling people, and of course it is impossible to pour out of the nest, so Yaaka decided to bring 5,000 elites to at least grab what they need for next year.

The station of the Red Department is close to Yan'an Mansion in Shaanxi and Taiyuan Mansion in Shanxi, as long as the brain case is not broken, of course, it is to rob Yan'an Mansion, although Taiyuan Mansion will be richer than Yan'an Mansion, but Taiyuan Mansion itself has more troops, and it is also close to Datong, Datong is stationed with heavy troops of the Ming Dynasty. So Yechi decided to rob the Shenmu and rice fat in Yan'an Mansion. At this time, Yang Lian had just arrived in Fushi City.

The soldiers recruited by Sun Chuanting are now arranged for training in the four counties of Mizhi, Baoan, Ganquan, and Yanchuan, and there are two groups of soldiers, one of whom has been training for nearly a year, and some of whom have been training for about half a year. Sun Chuanting had read the book of soldiers when he was a child, and he had always respected the "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness", and now that he has the opportunity, he will naturally not let it go, so under his request, the training of the soldiers is very intense, and of course the effect is also very good.

Yang Lian first inspected the new army in Ganquan, he could only see that the soldiers were neatly arrayed, but Cao Wenzhao, who came with him, saw that his eyes were shining, Cao Wenzhao himself was brave, although the Guards were powerful, but he always felt that it was not enjoyable, he liked to fight with a knife and a gun, and as soon as the fire was released, no matter how powerful the people were, although the battlefield was powerful, but I always felt that it was not like that. Seeing these Shaanxi soldiers with knives and guns, every move and style has a clear eye, and the order is forbidden, I greatly appreciated it.

After meeting Sun Chuanting in Fushi City, Cao Wenzhao proposed to set up two battalions in Ganquan first, Sun Chuanting laughed and said: "General Cao, don't worry, there are still seven battalions that have not been seen, maybe there are better ones." ”

Cao Wenzhao also felt that he was too anxious, so he had to laugh. Yang Lian was already quite familiar with him along the way, and said with a smile: "General Cao said to the lower officials a few times on the way, and he was full of praise for the soldiers trained by Governor Sun's mansion. ”

Sun Chuanting said modestly: "General Cao is from the Guards, and the Guards have made a great reputation in Liaodong and Southwest. ”

Cao Wenzhao hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "The prefect is well aware of military affairs, and the formation, military orders, moves, and military discipline of the trained soldiers are all the best choices, and the young generals admire them." ”

The sedan chair was carried around, so that Sun Chuanting and Yang Lian and Cao Wenzhao quickly became acquainted, and several people discussed that from tomorrow, they would go to review in the order of security, Yanchuan, and rice fat, and then decide which four battalions to choose after reviewing around.

The next morning, the three had not yet set off. Someone came to report that the northern captives had broken through Yongxing Fort and were attacking Shenmu.

Sun Chuanting was shocked and said to Yang Lian: "Lord Yang, I'm sorry, Chuanting is going to Mizhi to resist the Beiyu, how about Lord Yang and General Cao rest in Fushi City first." ”

Cao Wenzhao hurriedly said: "Lord Prefect, the young general is willing to follow him to Mizhi." ”

Sun Chuanting said: "If General Cao is with him, then Chuanting will be more sure to drive out the northern captives, then Lord Yang and Chuanting will go first." ”

Yang Lian said: "Governor Sun, the two of you should go to Yanchuan to lead the troops and then go to Mizhi, Yang Lian has no power to restrain the chicken, and he can't accompany the two to kill the northern captives, but isn't there still a security guard in Yan'an Mansion with newly trained soldiers, Lian is willing to go to the security guard to lead the troops to support the two." ”

Sun Chuanting glanced at Yang Liangao, it was already very good for a civil official to do this. So he made an urgent arrangement, first let people report the enemy situation to Governor Zhang Zhihou and General Soldier Du Wenhuan, and then let Yang Siqi accompany Yang Lian to the security guard to lead the troops, Lu Xuan went to Yanchuan to lead the troops, and he and Cao Wenzhao went directly to Mizhi, and after leading the troops, they went to Shenmu first, and the other two roads also went to Mizhi to converge and then support Shenmu.

When Sun Chuanting arrived at Mizhi, Shenmu was not captured. In fact, Yechi did not attack Shenmu County at all, but sent a thousand people to monitor Shenmu, and others looted all over the surrounding areas.

The officers in the Yan'an Prefecture Army were basically drawn from the Guards, so after arriving in Mizhi, Cao Wenzhao could easily adapt to the command of the Mizhi Army. After Sun Chuanting discussed with him, it was decided that he would go to Shenmu first, and Sun Chuanting would organize temporary recruitment of troops in Mizhi to prevent the northern captives from attacking Mizhi.

Cao Wenzhao led an army alone for the first time, although there were only three battalions, but he was full of confidence, because the information he got in Mizhi was that there were about 5,000 captives in the north, and they would definitely not be together, so he would have every chance to break through.

Mizhi and Shenmu County are separated by about 200 miles, and Cao Wenzhao and three battalions of men and horses rushed to the territory of Shenmu County in more than two days, which is more than 40 miles a day, which is about the same as the Guards.

Walking further, the scout came to report, and found a group of northern captives in front, about 200 people, who were robbing things and people. After Cao Wenzhao carefully inquired about the surrounding terrain, he found that the robbed place was surrounded by mountains on three sides and there was only one exit, so he decided to send a battalion of soldiers to block the exit, and then he took two battalions of soldiers to destroy the enemy.
