Early the next morning, Chen Wen yawned and got up to attend the daily meeting of the old camp. Originally, these days, Chen Wen had more or less begun to adapt to the rules of the Ming Dynasty's work and rest time, but he couldn't bear to talk to the three officers about the art of war last night until late at night.

In fact, Chen Wen didn't talk about anything difficult, but just took out the theory of mutual restraint of the arms that he had told Li Ruixin before. Li Ruixin didn't say it, he had already heard it, and Wu Dengke and Yin Yue's receptivity was also completely different.

Yin Yue's nickname is Ergou, but he is quite clever, and he absorbs the theory put forward by Chen Wen quickly. Although his acceptance speed was slower than Li Ruixin's acceptance speed that day, considering that Li Ruixin was once Huang Degong's personal soldier, his father had also become a guerrilla general, and Yin Yue was just a layman who had just met the army, it was very remarkable.

This made Chen Wen a little suspicious that Yin Yue's parents were napping when they gave him a nickname, and this guy should be called Yin Monkey.

In contrast, Wu Dengke is much less receptive. In Chen Wen's impression, last night, he seemed to have been breaking open the crumpled explanation of the basis and changes of this theory for Wu Dengke alone, but Wu Dengke's head was always like a solid one, and he couldn't pour anything into it, until late at night, when Chen Wen and the other three had yawned again and again, and he began to touch the door.

Fortunately, Chen Wen had expected this, after all, he had already seen it when he told Wu Dengke about "Zuo Chuan" in those days, and now he only hopes that he can use the hard work of listening to "Zuo Chuan" to study this more professional knowledge.

When Chen Wen came to the hall of the Chinese army, the people were already close to Qi. Seeing Chen Wen arrive, Wang Yi introduced him to everyone present, and these officials also got up to greet Chen Wen, even Chu Suxian did not show anything unusual.

After taking his seat, Chen Wen began to carefully observe the people present, and only felt that the officials of the old camp in Dalanshan were doing quite well.

I saw that most of the people present were about thirty years old, and the youngest should be Sun Yu. Of course, if you take into account the identity of this guy who was born in the Ming Dynasty, it is better not to count it first, so as not to be slapped in the face.

And the oldest of them is Chu Jiuru, the brother of Chu Suxian, the ambassador of the silver treasury, who is about fifty years old, and he always feels like a peacemaker. However, this peacemaker has the position of Shaoqing from Wupin Honglu Temple, which is higher than the Honglu Temple Temple Cheng that Wang Yi originally arranged for Chen Wen a few days ago, and this is actually related to the work he is mainly responsible for ushering in and contacting other rebels and squire officials near Siming Mountain.

Today's topic is almost all related to the newly formed battalion head in Chen Wen's hand, although the number of troops in this battalion is only half of the other battalion leaders for the time being, but this is also the sixth battalion of the Ming Army in Dalanshan after all, so the stakes are very high. Therefore, Wang Jiang asked all departments of the Fifth Division to cooperate with Chen Wen's formation work, and to ensure the armament and supply of Chen Wen's department, and those officials involved also responded one after another, saying that they would fully cooperate and never disappoint the high expectations of the economic strategy and the vice-constitution.

Subsequently, Wang Yi announced the decision of Chen Wen's battalion and the middle camp to compete a month later.

After getting this information, whether it was Shen Tiaolun, the civilian officer of the supervising army who was temporarily in charge of the middle battalion, or the two garrisons who were in charge of the daily defense of the old battalion, they all began to look at Chen Wen carefully, and the level of detail seemed to be trying to see through how many hairs Chen Wen had on his body. And the named guard was even more faintly hostile, because he knew very well that winning this game would not be too glorious, and if he lost, it would be even a loss of face for the middle camp.

After the regular meeting, Wang Yi pulled Chen Wen to chat for a while, in fact, it was just an encouragement to Chen Wen, a new employee of the Dalanshan Office of the Lujianguo Branch of the Daming Group.

After coming out of the Chinese military hall, Chen Wen rushed back to the barracks, and according to the usual practice, after attending the regular meeting organized by his boss, he also had to hold a regular meeting for his subordinates.

Looking at the three thousand sums and the two documents under his command, Chen Wen, who was a guerrilla general, ended the regular meeting with only one sentence. "You go ahead and do what was supposed to be done yesterday." Then, there is no then.

After a hurried end to the regular meeting, Chen Wen immediately led his horse and took the two more honest-looking soldiers down the mountain, all the way to the town where he had purchased the four treasures of the study.

After entering the town, Chen Wen went to the calligraphy and painting shop first. The shopkeeper is still the shopkeeper, and the guys are still those guys, but they don't recognize Chen Wen anymore, it's not that Chen Wen went to South Korea for plastic surgery, but that he wore that set of mountain armor out of the door today, and he has already blinded the kryptonite dog eyes of those people in the calligraphy and painting shop.

By the time the shopkeeper remembered that the general in front of him was a scholar who had bought things from him a few times, Chen Wen had already left after ordering the goods. The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat that broke out from time to time a few times, obviously he remembered his behavior of planning to slaughter the guest, so he did not hesitate to order his subordinates to complete Chen Wen's order on time, and at the same time to ensure the quality.

Out of the calligraphy and painting shop, Chen Wen found a silk shop again. Originally, as Chen Wen, the things he needed could be applied for from the cloth warehouse in the old camp, but Chen Wen learned from Sun Yu that the cloth warehouse was actually supervised by the silver treasury, so he decided not to make trouble for himself.

The silk shop was opened by a squire in the town, and this squire was related to an official on the mountain, so although the shopkeeper of this family was very interested in welcoming Chen Wen, a new guerrilla, it only allowed him to kill the price of the goods he needed to the time of Chengping. But this is enough for Chen Wen, if it weren't for that private order, who would have nothing to do to go down the mountain and be slaughtered.

Diagonally opposite the silk shop is the city god temple in the town, although today is not a day to catch the market, there are still a lot of people.

Chen Wen took the two men to the place where the list was posted, posted the recruitment list he had written before, and found the fortune teller in the temple, and told him to come and read it aloud every quarter of an hour, give five cents at a time, and settle it directly after speaking, and the two soldiers brought by Chen Wen will be responsible for distributing it, and they will talk for a total of two days today and tomorrow.

And the two soldiers each stood at the bottom of the list for an hour, and two men took turns to stand until they had to return to the camp before dinner, because the old camp had a curfew at night. If someone comes to ask, tell them that they want to join the army and go directly to the mountain, and someone at the south gate of the old camp will take them into the camp for assessment, and those who pass the assessment can be used as soldiers to eat food.

The military order was like a mountain, and the two soldiers naturally expressed their determination to complete the task. The fortune teller looked at Chen Wen's Shanwen armor and the sword hanging from his waist, and did not hesitate to respond to the matter. And when he got the first piecework salary, looking at the five copper coins, although there was no golden back of the Wanli Dynasty, it was not as thin and brittle as the Chongzhen Dynasty, and after carefully calculating how many dollars of silver he could earn in the day, and it did not delay his fortune-telling, he immediately became frowning and laughing.

Riding alone on the horse, Chen Wen didn't dare to let it run, after all, his current equestrian skills were already good to be able to sit on it and walk. By the time he returned to the old camp, it was already time for lunch, so he went straight to the granary.

When he arrived at the grain depot, a small official who had received the business of buying pigs and sheep on behalf of him yesterday immediately saw him and hurriedly came up to say hello. Chen Wen exchanged a few words with the little official, and then hurried to see Sun Yu.

Seeing Sun Yu, Chen Wen bluntly proposed that he would ask Yi to help make a camp flag, and the materials and patterns would be sent by the guys in the town in the afternoon. At the same time, Chen Wen shamelessly told Sun Yu that he would not give the salary, and the rest of the scraps would belong to you.

Back at the barracks, the soldiers had already begun to eat, and Chen Wen continued to eat in the same pot with the soldiers under the surprised eyes of the new soldiers.

After eating, he locked himself in his room and went to write military law.

It stands to reason that Chen Wen can and should use the ready-made military law of the Ming army, but in his opinion, the military law of the Ming Dynasty is too strict, and it is really not conducive to establishing a sense of honor for soldiers, and its jurisdiction is also amazing.

It's just that Chen Wen didn't know at all that the warriors of the Ming Dynasty were actually more glad that their military laws were relaxed, and if compared with the Qin and Han dynasties, the military laws of the Song and Ming dynasties were not as strict as the civil laws of the Qin and Han dynasties, let alone compared with the military laws of the Yi clan at that time.

Chen Wen couldn't remember where he had seen it, saying that the improvement of a soldier's sense of honor would not only help improve their combat capability, strategic movement speed, and the degree of casualties, but also reduce the occurrence of incidents of the military disturbing the people.

Of course, the commanders of ancient China had other methods, such as practicing and using strict military law that was a capital crime to take the people, Yue Fei did not mention it, and Zhang Huangyan did it in this era.

It is recorded in the history books that Zhang Huangyan governed the army strictly and orderly, and did not commit any crimes in the autumn of the people, which was the case in the early years in eastern Zhejiang. During the Battle of Nanjing, in order to ensure a complete victory, Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan divided their troops into two routes, Zheng Chenggong besieged Nanjing, and Zhang Huangyan led the Zhejiang army to attack Fuxian in the upper reaches of Nanjing. Marched to Wuhu, "a soldier buys noodles worth four cents, and only gives ten Wen", Zhang Huang immediately cut it off!

It is precisely because of Zhang Huangyan's personal practice and the high standards and strict requirements for the soldiers under his command that there will be a grand occasion when the people eat pot pulp to welcome the king, and the Manchu officials will surrender when they hear the wind. Although the army was defeated in the end, this did not prevent Chen Wen from respecting Zhang Huangyan.

Chen Wen wanted to establish a righteous army like the Yuejia army, which "froze to death without demolishing houses, starved to death without plundering", and he believed that only in this way could the vitality of the nation be effectively preserved, so that after the barbarians were repelled by the army, the people would still have a poor livelihood for the rebellious soldiers and plunder. In order to do this, it is necessary to formulate and enforce the corresponding military laws from the very beginning of the establishment of the army.

Although he knows that it is a long and arduous road, and he will have to pay a lot for it, he believes that success is not achieved overnight, and if you want to get it, you must pay, and he also believes that he can do it himself.

Of course, if Chen Wen wants to abandon the military law of the Ming Dynasty in this camp, he must first pass Wang Yi's pass, after all, he is not the leading general of the army in a single town, and there is a civilian official who supervises the army on top of his head.

However, he is full of confidence in convincing Wang Yi.

"Revise military law? Furen: What do you mean by that? In the hall of the Chinese army, Wang Yi's eyes were full of doubts, and he couldn't figure out what Chen Wen was doing this for.

"Looking back at the scriptures, the last general felt that the military law of this dynasty was too strict, and he often inflicted corporal punishment, which was not conducive to the establishment of a sense of honor as a royal teacher."

Honor?

Wang Yi frowned, and then said: "Wang Shi is Wang Shi, what does it mean to establish a sense of honor?" Nearly 300 years since the founding of this dynasty, I have never heard of anything that needs to be revised in military law to have a sense of honor. Wouldn't it be orthodox not to revise the military law? This official thinks that this is inappropriate, and Furen should think about it carefully! ”

"Calm your anger a little." Chen Wen bowed and said, "The last general dares to ask Jing Liu, should the king take it as his responsibility to protect the territory and the people, and strictly prohibit the soldiers from plundering the people?" ”

"Of course! If Wang Shi can't protect the people of Huaxia, won't he become a thief? ”

Chen Wen had expected this answer, because Wang Yi was such a person. It is recorded in the history books that Wang Yi governed the army strictly and did not commit any crimes in the autumn of the people, so the gentry and people in eastern Zhejiang were happy to lose their sincerity, and what Chen Wen has seen these days is the same.

"The last general knows that the army is strictly organized by the strategy, and the people will not commit any offense in the autumn, and all the generals of my Dalanshan King Division are also in accordance with the requirements of the strategy, and it is strictly forbidden for soldiers to disturb the people."

Hearing this, Wang Yi nodded, the development and growth of the Ming Army of Dalanshan has a great relationship with military discipline. In this era, whether it was the Ming army or the Qing army, it was difficult to avoid plundering the people, and the various departments of the Ming army were more because of the supply problem in addition to unintentional control, while the Manchu Qing Dynasty connived at this matter out of national oppression and the consideration of buying traitor armies.

Wang Yi learned from the beginning of the camp Huang Zongxi set up the village stick tin temple period, the department plundered the people, so that the general will kill the mountain people lesson, affirmed the military discipline, in the autumn of the people did not commit any crimes, so that in the second year of Yongli he was defeated by the Fubiao battalion of the Qing army in Zhejiang, in the case of only 400 people left, but also able to quickly eliminate the remaining regiment training after the main force of the Qing army retreated, so as to gather 10,000 people, set up Dalan Mountain and break Shangyu County. Then, the gentry and people near Siming Mountain were also happy to use it. These are not unrelated to the military discipline of Wang Yi's department, and the support of the people is his greatest strength.

"The last general feels that the soldiers will naturally not disturb the people under the nose of Jinglu, but if in the future, the king regains the lost territory, and Jinglu sends the generals to attack various places, the soldiers are not by Jinglu's side, and the subordinate generals do not care about such affairs, then how can Jinglu ensure that the soldiers are in peace?"

Wang Yi thought for a while and said, "What does Furen mean to make the soldiers feel that they are the king's master from the bottom of their hearts, and they should protect the territory and the people instead of harassing the people?" ”

"Exactly. The last general felt that instead of keeping an eye on it all the time, it was better to try to make him realize that this was the only way to be worthy of his heart. The camp was first established, and it has the foundation laid by the long-term efforts of the strategy and colleagues. The last general is willing to practice and always educate the soldiers to be the king's master and have the duty to protect the territory and the people. ”

As he spoke, Chen Wen turned the manuscript paper to another page and gave it to Wang Yi only. "Moreover, the last general also has clear provisions in the military law."

Wang Yi's gaze followed Chen Wen's fingers to cover a line of text, only to see that it read, "Since the beginning of this general, anyone who dares to forcibly seize the people's literature will be beheaded!" The words were cold, and the ink penetrated the paper.

Looking through Chen Wen's manuscript again, Wang Yi asked, "What does Furen mean by abolishing corporal punishment, so that the sense of honor of the soldiers can be improved?" So, how to maintain military discipline in your battalion, is it really okay to rely only on these whippings, canes, and the like? ”

Seeing this, Chen Wen once again sacrificed Li Wenzhong, the king of Qiyang. "The ancestor of the last general was a military captain in the king of Qiyang, and the king of Qiyang once said to his ancestors that the meaning of the law is not the strength of punishment, but that once someone violates the law, he will definitely be punished, so as to put an end to crime. Because of this, when the law and discipline were strict in all dynasties, many princes were said to have broken the law and were guilty of the same crime as the common people. The military law that the last general intends to try is limited to a non-war state, and if it is on the battlefield, Qi Shaobao's joint sitting method will also be used by the last general. ”

Hearing this, Wang Yi shook his head with a smile. "Furen, you always have a new trick." Just thinking back to the sentence that since the beginning of the general, anyone who dares to forcibly seize the people will be beheaded, he took a deep breath, and then said firmly: "You and try it in the camp, if it works, this official will meet His Royal Highness the Secretary of the State." ”

"The last will obey."

When Chen Wen left the hall of the Chinese army, Sun Yu had already been on duty and hurried home. He didn't care about the salary or anything, but what Chen Wen's camp flag would look like really aroused his great curiosity.

When he got home, Sun Yu looked at the fabric sent by Chen Wen on the table in the north room, and his curiosity disappeared immediately.

I saw that most of the fabrics on the table were good, although not much, but Sun Yu could see that if it was just one camp flag as Chen Wen said, then the remaining "leftovers" were at least enough to make three sets of clothes, which happened to be one man and one woman plus one and a half sizes, one for each person.

PS: Today, when the author coded the words, I remembered that there was a mistake in yesterday's chapter, that is, the halberd, a weapon that could be used for projection, no longer existed in the Ming Dynasty. This weapon was prevalent in the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms and the Jin Dynasty, and ceased to exist by the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the reason for its disappearance is to be investigated, which may be related to the fact that the halberd was no longer popular at that time. I apologize and will change the previous chapter later.
