Since being coerced by Chen Yue and going south from Wuyi County, Qian Fenglin has experienced extremely complex changes psychologically. From the initial fear and helplessness trying to escape, he slowly became at ease with the situation, and now he has completely integrated into the Pingnan Army.

Qian Fenglin was born as a Jinshi in Wuyi Zhixian County, and his knowledge is naturally higher than others, he has already seen that the number of Daming Qi has been exhausted, and it is inevitable that Dashun will replace Daming as a thriving force.

So at the beginning, he decisively surrendered to Dashun, but who would have thought that Chen Yue would lead his troops through Wuyi County, and he couldn't help but say that he was wrapped up in the south.

At the beginning, Qian Fenglin was afraid that Chen Yue would kill himself and his family on the charge of rebellion, but then he slowly realized that Chen Yue had no malice at all, so he became at ease with what happened.

For Qian Fenglin, Chen Yue did not arrange his ministry, but only used it as a staff member. Chen Yue saw that he was very capable, and he didn't want him to stay in the north, so he took him south, after all, the Manchu Tartars would soon go out of the customs and occupy the north, and Chen Yue, a capable official like Qian Fenglin, was unwilling to leave him to the Manchu Tartars.

In the days of following the Pingnan army south, Qian Fenglin gradually saw the difference in this army.

Military discipline is strict, and it is strictly forbidden to plunder the common people, and this article has already separated the Pingnan Army from other Ming military regions.

High-intensity training, strict queues, and orders and prohibitions made this army far more effective than most of the Ming army.

All the way south, marching more than 2,000 miles in the area controlled by the Chuang army, as if entering a no-man's land, this gave Qian Fenglin a deeper understanding of this army.

Slowly, he began to take the initiative to help the army deal with some things, after all, since he was already in the army, he couldn't eat rice.

If it was just that, when Qian Fenglin saw Chongzhen returning from the sea, his shock was beyond measure.

Unknowingly, he rescued Emperor Chongzhen from the north, Chen Yue's ability and ambition are really great! This Da Ming, maybe it can really be ZTE!

From this time, Qian Fenglin's heart unconsciously shifted, he hesitated, and no longer thought that Da Shun was inevitable.

Perhaps, with Chongzhen arriving in the south safely, and with this disciplined Pingnan army, the Ming Dynasty can still be saved.

Chen Yue once promised Qian Fenglin that he would help him operate a new official position and become a magistrate again. However, Qian Fenglin refused, he preferred to stay in the Pingnan army, because he was very optimistic about Chen Yue's future.

Bidding farewell to Huang Degong, Chen Yue returned to the camp, and now that the camp is about to be dispatched, there are too many things that he needs to deal with personally.

"Master Hou, Zhang Chengkai just came, saying that the army's food stock is less than a month, and it needs to be replenished urgently, so I asked Master Hou for instructions."

As soon as he sat down in the tent, He Lu walked over with a document in his hand and said to Chen Yue.

"Send a message to the prefect of Yangzhou and order him to prepare military rations quickly." Chen Yue said.

"I've already written the paperwork, please take a look at it." He Lu said to Chen Yue with a smile on his face, and handed the paperwork in his hand to Chen Yue.

While Chen Yue was reading the paperwork, He Lu quickly washed the cup and made a cup of tea for Chen Yue.

"Make a drink for Qian County." Chen Yue finished the teacup and commanded casually.

"Ahh He Lu grinned, and reluctantly poured a lamp for Qian Fenglin.

Since Wang Yin and Yuan Kewang were asked by Chongzhen to be officials, He Lu regarded himself as the first staff member of Chen Yue's subordinates, but who would have thought that there was another Qian Fenglin, and there was a tendency to be more and more valued by Chen Yue.

In the end, there is no fame, if I also have the fame of raising people and scholars, Hou Ye will definitely trust me more, He Lu felt sorry for himself.

"Master Hou, Director Li asks to see you." Chen Yan, the leader of the guards, walked in and said to Chen Yue.

"Let him in." Chen Yue nodded.

"Master Hou, there is not much gunpowder in our army, the last battle with the traitor Gao Jie fought in the middle of the night, and more than half of the gunpowder was consumed, and it must be replenished, do you see if we are purchasing saltpeter and sulfur, let's make gunpowder ourselves?"

The old man Li Xiong, who was going to be the head of the camp, walked in and yelled at Chen Yue.

"Also, Lu Sanyou's old thing asked me to ask Master Hou if I need to make some chariots, our chariots were all abandoned when they came out of Tianjin, and without chariots, how can the infantry brothers carry armor and supplies, they can't all be carried by people in the future.

Also, if you have a chariot, you have to get mules and horses to pull the cart, so why don't you go and buy mules and horses now? ”

Li Xiong said in a rambling voice, and Chen Yue's head grew when he heard it.

"Stop, stop, Li, the mule and horse affairs will be put aside first, isn't there a shortage of gunpowder, now the time is urgent, there is no need for us to make it ourselves, I will write the paperwork, you go to Yangzhou Mansion to ask for it, in the Yangzhou Mansion Treasury, there should be no shortage of gunpowder."

Chen Yue hurriedly stopped Li Xiong and ordered He Lu to write a document asking for gunpowder.

After a while, three or four groups of people came to ask for instructions, all of which were all trivial matters in the army.

"Alas, what a moment of leisure!" Finally everyone was sent away, Chen Yue said to Qian Fenglin on the side.

"Master Hou, there is something I don't know if I should say." Qian Fenglin wanted to speak and stopped.

"It doesn't hurt to say anything." Chen Yue waved his hand.

"Master Hou, you are the commander of the first army, you can't be trapped by these trivial things every day, you should add some staff clerks to help deal with the affairs of the army." Qian Fenglin Road.

"I want to too, but you also know that this journey is all on the march, and there is no moment of stability, where is there time to find someone." Chen Yue sighed.

Originally, there were Wang Yin and Yuan Kewang to help deal with some things, but now the two of them are being asked to leave by Chongzhen, He Lu's ability is limited, Qian Fenglin is not very familiar with things in the army, and a lot of time falls on Chen Yue himself.

"Master Hou, I'm not talking about finding a few staff. You are now the Marquis of Pingnan, and you are the governor of Jiangbei who is personally appointed by the Holy Lord, and in the future, you will be in a high position, and the military affairs of the entire Jiangbei will be handled by you, not comparable to the current army of less than 10,000 people.

By that time, you will have hundreds of thousands of troops under your command and nearly 10 million people in dozens of counties under your jurisdiction.

The subordinates suggested that you should set up special functions to manage special affairs, such as the management of grain, logistics and baggage, weapons and gunpowder, and even the affairs of the counselor's military affairs, marching and combat, and so on. ”

Qian Fenglin's eyes lit up, and he said his suggestions to Chen Yue in a hurried tone.

"You mean, the establishment of the shogunate?" Chen Yue said slowly.

"Yes, it is to set up the shogunate, but the imperial court will definitely not give you the title of the shogunate, but once the official should give the military position, this is within the scope of your authority."

According to the management of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is the governor or the governor yamen, there are few court officials with an establishment, and in order to deal with huge things, the local governors will recruit their own staff.

The staff was not an official official official of the imperial court, and there was no specific official position, so they came and went freely, and it was not convenient to manage.

Qian Fenglin suggested that the shogunate established by Chen Yue should be modeled on the form of the staff, but it was not a staff, but like the six departments of the imperial court, the chief of staff all had formal positions.

Of course, it is impossible for this kind of position to be recognized by the imperial court, and no civil official is willing to hold this kind of position, but with Chen Yue's authority, it is still possible to give some military positions of hundreds of households and thousands of households.

Listening to Qian Fenglin's proposal, Chen Yue was moved.

According to Qian Fenglin's suggestion, the establishment of a staff is not just as simple as a staff, but a yamen to help him handle various military affairs, which will greatly improve the efficiency of the army.

There are special people in charge of all kinds of general affairs, and the lord can devote all his energy to marching and fighting.

Logistics, salaries, ordnance, and command can also be stripped away, so as to avoid the monopoly of subordinate generals.

At the same time, a picket department can also be set up to monitor whether there are any changes in the generals of various ministries.

With this shogunate, he would have the ultimate control over his subordinate armies, and this shogunate was completely set up by his own private people, and even the imperial court could not give direct orders.

This Qian Fenglin can come up with such an idea, what a talent!

Chen Yue looked at Qian Fenglin with burning eyes, only to see him blushing.

"Hou, Master Hou, isn't there something wrong?" Qian Fenglin touched his face and stammered.

"Yes, very well!" Chen Yue laughed out loud and slapped Qian Fenglin's shoulder heavily.

"This matter is up to you, sir, which departments should be set up, the names and ministries, and how many subordinate officials should be there, and after you think about it carefully, write a document for me to see."

"Yes, Master Hou!" Rubbing the shoulders that were slapped in severe pain, Qian Fenglin's heart was full of joy.
