That night, under the "protection" of the Gongyi Battalion, the King of Chu and his entourage stayed at the Yin Hotel in the Yadi of Chongyang County, and more than 400 miners under him were also accepted into the Gongyi Battalion.

On the way to greet the King of Chu, Wang Kefan apologized to Xu Bingzhong and explained the ins and outs of this matter, although Xu Bingzhong was a little disappointed, he did not blame him.

If extraordinary measures are not used to deter them, the people and officials will inevitably run away and turn Chongyang into an empty city, which cannot be defended.

To his disappointment, Wang Zhou did not have an army in his hands, only a few hundred miners, but Wang Kefan's behavior was even more strange, he seemed to value those miners very much, but he didn't care about the king of Chu, and even some rude......

Zhu Huabi, the king of Chu, was born in Longqing for five years, and was already an old man in his seventies. Wang Kefan ordered people to take care of him, and on the grounds that the prince was ill, he strictly forbade people of all colors to approach the king of Chu, and detained the eunuch Wang Zhou in the Gongyi camp and was not allowed to meet with the king of Chu.

Early the next morning, Wang Kefan ordered Teng Shuanglin to return to Tongcheng, recruit soldiers in the name of the Gongyi Battalion, train young and strong, and prepare for battle.

"There are not many soldiers in the fine, first recruit a sentry and 200 people to practice well, if there are not enough people to defend the city, let Bu Zuowen collect some young and strong, and wait for this sentry to be polished and formed, and then slowly expand." Wang Kefan repeatedly admonished Teng Shuanglin to prevent him from being greedy and chewing too much, which would reduce the quality of the troops.

"Don't worry, I understand the proportions in this, Teng has just joined the Gongyi Battalion, and he is just a small general, how can he be more than the other thousand soldiers?" Teng Shuanglin is still smiling, looking old and sophisticated.

"Not necessarily." Wang Kefan smiled: "Our Gongyi battalion does not talk about seniority, as long as we can win the battle, we can be promoted, we can continue to expand our subordinates, if we lose the battle, the sentry officer can also be demoted to a team officer, and the thousand general can be reduced to the general ......."

Before his words fell, Lu Renqing couldn't help but jump out.

"Lu Shan is not talented, and he can defend Tongcheng without bringing soldiers and horses!" Lu Renqing's eyes lit up, and he stared at Teng Shuanglin provocatively: "If Brother Shuanglin doesn't believe it, do you dare to exchange with the younger brother?" You stay in Chongyang, I will go to Tongcheng, without a single soldier, but also to protect Tongcheng as solid as gold! ”

In the face of his aggressive provocation, Teng Shuanglin finally put away his smile.

"Faith, I not only believe, but I can do it."

He suddenly swept away the frivolous and playful attitude, his two eyes were like a deep pool, like a little paint, and his eyes looked at Lu Renqing with blazing eyes: "I can also conclude that although the current situation is critical, as long as you are careful and vigilant, Chongyang and Tongcheng can watch the tide from the shore, and there is no danger!" ”

"You, how do you know?!" Lu Renqing was taken aback.

Chongyang must be in danger, this is exactly what he wanted to say, but Lu Renqing robbed him of his lines. He didn't sleep all night last night, thinking about the current situation repeatedly, and came to this conclusion, he was confident that he could be a blockbuster, overwhelm Teng Shuanglin, and even be promoted and reused by Wang Kefan because of this, but he was unexpectedly called by Teng Shuanglin, which caught him off guard.

Wang Kefan smiled slightly, watching the two of them fight with interest.

Since ancient times, there is no first martial arts, there is no second, the generals who lead the troops to fight should have a momentum that is not convinced by each other, the victory is to raise a glass to celebrate, and the defeat is desperate to save each other, but usually can not be a group of harmony, hello, I am hello, everyone.

The troops under each general are completely independent, such as Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong's people, and even Wang Kefan cannot overstep the command. This method of army building ensures the cohesion of the troops to the greatest extent, but it will inevitably lead to self-centeredness.

Unity has never been a characteristic of this army, it is not now, it will not be in the future, and Wang Kefan has no intention of doing so. Unless he can brainwash these Ming Dynasty people, the branch will be set up in the company, and the ideology and theory of later generations will be used to build a party army...... However, this is an impossible task.

If you want to change a person's mind, you must first change the entire shijie before you can subvert his values, and compared with the two, the latter is relatively less difficult.

Competition is what Wang Kefan needs. The end of the Ming Dynasty is not the era of the Three Kingdoms, there are no famous generals waiting for Wang Kefan to look at the thatched house, all the generals must be trained by themselves, the most haode way is to screen in the actual battle, the troops that can win the battle will be expanded, the defeated will be reduced, and the defeated will be disbanded.

There is so much military salary in total, whoever can win the battle will take it, and if there are many victories, it is naturally an elite army.

Elimination, in addition to their own direct troops, any army can be eliminated. Sooner or later, Wang Kefan will break away from the Gongyi battalion, and the troops will continue to grow and develop; in this process, only by surviving the fittest and spitting out the old and embracing the new can we ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops and avoid the waste of limited resources.

In Wang Kefan's usual every move, this kind of guiding ideology has been reflected, and the short passage just now just hit Lu Renqing's excitement, and he immediately seized the opportunity to jump out and challenge Teng Shuanglin.

For this kind of fair and honest challenge, Wang Kefan does not think it is a pestle, but has the meaning of connivance.

Teng Shuanglin became the general manager as soon as he came, and it is understandable that Lu Renqing is envious and jealous, but he sneered and sneered yesterday, stirred up right and wrong, and his means fell to the bottom, so Wang Kefan would beat him. What is rare is that after only one night, he figured out the truth, and today this practice is justified.

It seems that I have thought it through. If you are an ordinary person, you will have to feel sorry for yourself for two days after being reprimanded by your boss, and you will suffer from gains and losses, although Lu Renqing often makes mistakes, she can quickly correct and make up for them, and her understanding is not low.

How should this person be used? Wang Kefan hesitated......

At this moment, Teng Shuanglin was talking.

"Although Li Chuang and the Manchu Qing have a lot of soldiers, there are traces to follow in their every move, whether they will attack Chongyang and Tongcheng or not, as long as they carefully scrutinize, they will understand."

As he spoke, he took a pen and paper and drew a simple map, using a zigzag horizontal line to represent the Yangtze River, and dotted a few ink dots to mark Nanjing, Shaanxi, Huguang and Jiangxi: "After Li Chuang withdrew from Shaanxi, the four prefectures of Xiangyang were a piece of their territory, and Bai Wang had been operating here for two or three years, with a solid foundation and sufficient food in the city, if Li Chuang held on to the city, he might not be able to fight with Azig......"

As he spoke, he drew a march route on the map, representing Li Zicheng's Dashun army.

However, Li Chuang's department has always been uncertain, and he was afraid of the Manchu Eight Banners, so he gave up Xiangyang, occupied Wuchang, collected grain from ships, and went east to Huangzhou and Jiujiang. speculated that his intention was nothing more than to take a fancy to the wealth of Jiangnan, and he was eager to attack Nanjing and regroup there, plus Azig was chasing after him, how could he come to harass Chongyang? ”

He drew a march route on the map, representing Azig's Qing army.

"Azig went south to Huguang, just to chase Li Chuang, Li Chuang all the way to the east, he will inevitably chase after him, and he will not make a detour to Chongyang! All in all, before they decided the winner, Chongyang and Tongcheng were safe......"
