Chapter Ninety-Three: Asking the General for Forgiveness
After another large-scale expansion of the army, the total strength of Jiang Chuan's troops has reached more than 17,000 people.
Therefore, of course, the original establishment could not be used anymore, so Jiangchuan upgraded all the military establishments into battalions, with a total of 3,000 men in the bow and crossbow battalion, 1,000 in the spear battalion, 1,000 in the guards battalion, 500 in the monk battalion, 500 in the heavy cavalry battalion, 5,000 in the archery battalion, 5,000 in the light cavalry battalion, 1,000 in the engineering battalion, and 500 in the scout battalion, a total of nine arms.
Although the number of battalions varies, the specifications are the same, and the commander of each battalion will be the captain. Under the lieutenant, there are 1,000 commanders for every 1,000 people, 100 commanders for 100 people, and 10 commanders for 10 people.
The original scouts were temporarily formed from the archers and light cavalry, but this time Jiang Chuan specially selected some people to form a scout battalion. In this information-closed world, there are no modern and convenient communication tools, and the existence of the scout camp is very necessary if you want to get information from the outside world at the first time.
If it were possible, Egawa would very much like to set up an intelligence system. It's a pity that there are no suitable people now, and there is no time.
One of the things that Jiang Chuan really wanted to do was to draw people from among the people of the valley and form a new army.
At present, there are nearly 10,000 people in the valley, and among these 10,000 people, there are about 3,000 young and strong men. Even if Jiangchuan's conditions for selecting troops are a little harsh, then at least a thousand people can be selected from them for training.
Because of the system's nurturing, and the fact that the arable land in the valley is still being cultivated, and there is not enough land for these 10,000 people to cultivate, most of the people are now idle.
So many young and strong laborers are idle, and they eat for nothing every day, which is not only a waste of manpower and resources, but may even breed a lot of incidents because of idleness.
These days, there have been a few quarrels and then scuffles in the afterlife of Tunzi, although they were dealt with by Liu Ji in time, but this is not a long-term solution after all.
These people come from different sources, some are Ming people, and some are "former Ming people" who were brought from Liaoyang City and have been the people of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for five years, so naturally there will be some problems of discrimination and prejudice, and if these are not dealt with properly, they will be the root cause of disasters and chaos in the future.
Jiang Chuan had considered these problems before, but he had not had time to deal with them because of various military delays.
Now is actually not a good opportunity, because the big war is imminent, he has no extra energy to plan these things, so he can only keep it in his heart for the time being and wait for later.
In addition, after this battle of Wild Boar Slope and the battle of Liaoyang, Jiang Chuan's lord level has jumped to level five, and the battlefield fighting technique and riding and archery skills have also been upgraded to level five at the same time, and the physical fitness has also been increased by 50%. This is his personal progress.
And after this period of training and tempering, Jiang Chuan is very different from the weak image when he first crossed over, the whole person has become darker, the body is more straight, the muscles are much stronger, and the whole person looks less weak and more heroic and deep.
While thinking about these things in his mind, Jiang Chuan was actually still soaking his feet.
He asked the craftsman to make himself a very large and deep wooden basin for himself as his own foot bath, these days back and forth, the soles of the feet have been grinding a lot of bubbles. In fact, the key is the problem of shoes, although he is a dignified lord, but the boots that the system gave him are really uncomfortable to wear, and the hard feet are very difficult, so he can't help but miss the running shoes of Adi that he wore in his previous life.
So the first thing he does when he comes back is to take off his shoes and pick up the blisters, and after picking the blisters, he starts soaking his feet.
He was thinking about things in his head, and it took him a long time to realize that the water in the basin was already cold, so he shouted outside: "Come on, add some hot water to me." ”
Soon, a slender figure walked in with a little difficulty carrying a large kettle.
Jiang Chuan saw that it was Qi Xuan, that is, the girl who was kind enough to send her back, but was mistaken for thinking that he wanted her to die.
"How are you? Didn't I tell them to arrange for someone else to do it? Jiang Chuan looked at this girl named Qi Xuan and asked with a little surprise.
After that unpleasant thing happened last time, Jiang Chuan ordered another person to serve by his side. Although this Qi Xuan is not bad, but Lord Jiang really doesn't want to look at her depressed face, looking gentle and lovely, but in fact, she rejects people thousands of miles away, which makes Jiang Chuan very uncomfortable, and he is not a masochist.
"Returning to the general, it was the people themselves who asked to serve by the general's side. Before, it was the people's daughter who had some misunderstanding of the general, so she was a little rude to the general, and asked the general to forgive her sins. Qi Xuan put down the kettle, looked at Jiang Chuan Yingying, who was a little unclear about the situation, with a pair of apricot eyes, and said sincerely.
"Misunderstanding? Where did this start, is it because of my unintentional words last time? "Jiang Chuan is a little confused.
"General, after the whole family was martyred, the people were able to survive in the world, and their hearts were full of hatred and guilt. Later, the general broke through the bandits and rescued the people's daughter, but the people's daughter didn't know the identity of the general, and mistakenly thought that the general was no different from those gangsters, so she was not grateful to the general, but was wary. At that time, the folk girl had already decided that if the general was rude to the folk girl, the folk girl would die to make her will. “
Qi Xuan was a little hesitant before saying these words, but in the end, she said what she thought in her heart frankly.
Jiang Chuan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, what is this, he didn't do anything, but he was misunderstood like this, what kind of thing is this.
"Then why didn't you continue to misunderstand me later, maybe I'm really a bad person?" Jiang Chuan looked at Qi Xuan, who had a sense of shame on his face, and said teasingly.
"My father used to tell me that when you look at a person, you should not only listen to his words, but also observe his deeds. The various behaviors of General Minnuguan during this period of time are not at all like the actions of villains, but a heroic man who really cares about the people of the world. If nothing else, it is said that the general brought more than 10,000 people into the valley to shelter them, so that they would not be ravaged and harmed by the Eastern Captives, and this is the supreme merit. What's more, the general was not afraid of hardships and dangers, risked arrows and stones, fought with the East Captives on the battle array, annihilated thousands of Tartars, recovered Liaoyang City, and solved the danger of Datong, all of which proved the general's will. Moreover, there are many women in the valley, but the general has never recruited anyone to sleep, which shows that the general's character is noble. Therefore, the people's daughter knew that she had misunderstood the general before, and she was ashamed, so she asked to serve the general, in order to repay the general's kindness, and to understand the guilt of the people's daughter, and also asked the general to fulfill it. ”
After Qi Xuan finished speaking, she bowed deeply and bowed down.
Looking at the girl in front of him with a look of repentance and shame, Jiang Chuan was really a little crying and laughing for a while, and he didn't know what to say.
If you don't do anything, you will be misunderstood. Part of the reason for the things I did later was to protect the people, but the more important reason was for my own development and growth.
As for the matter of finding a girl to sleep, it's not that he doesn't want to, one is that he is too busy to think, and the other is that some moral codes from a modern soul bind him, and he always feels that this kind of thing must be wishful thinking, so he didn't move.
I didn't expect these things to be seen by this girl, remembered in her heart, and then didn't misunderstand herself, and came to tell herself that she wanted to atone for her sins, let me serve you in the future, how strange is this thing, Jiang Chuan really didn't know what to say for a while.
Seeing that Jiang Chuan didn't speak, Qi Xuan said with a sad expression on his face: "The general dislikes the people's daughters and is unwilling to forgive them?" “
Jiang Chuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's really not what you think." Well, you put the kettle here first, and I'll think about it first. ”
Qi Xuan didn't speak or leave, just looked at Jiang Chuan, and Jiang Chuan was a little hairy.
At this moment, Liu Ji's voice came from outside: "The general can be inside, and there is something to discuss below." ”
Hearing that Liu Ji was coming, Jiang Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly: "I'm inside, please come in." ”
Qi Xuan saw that someone was coming, so she had to bite her lip and glance at Jiang Chuan with some resentment.
