Li Zhifang turned to the counties that were still under the control of the Qing army to prepare grain and forage for the upcoming army, the requisitioned people, and the ships and vehicles to transport troops. In particular, the two counties of Wuyi and Yongkang must prepare all the materials in advance and prepare them for the use of the army.

With the help of other officials in the government, he quickly completed the inquiry, estimation of the real quantity and the transfer of documents in various counties.

It's just that when he finished these tasks and picked up the document again, he still couldn't suppress the worry in his heart, because Li Zhifang always felt that the commander of the Ming army behind these words seemed to have some ulterior motive.

The officials of Jinhua Mansion began to prepare for the upcoming Qing army under the command of Li Zhifang, and the preparation of the Ming army had already begun.

Previously, Chen Wen put on a crazy show in Dongyang and Yiwu counties, and advertisements were scattered all over the sky, followed by the gentry and people in the two counties who donated a large amount of materials, in order to let him drive away the old Xier Ma Jinbao, who was keen on "vinegar", in order to save the lives of each family.

After that, as the news of the strict military discipline of the Ming army in these two counties began to spread, some gentry in several counties of Jinhua Province that had not yet been occupied by the Ming army also secretly sent some supplies, and demanded that the Ming army recover their hometown as soon as possible and rescue them from the hands of the Manchus.

Chen Wen didn't know how much of these were sincere, and how much was to find out the time of the Ming army's actions, but he didn't plan to attack these areas too early, but was waiting for the end of the army's training and then giving the Qing army a ruthless blow. Rather than occupying large tracts of land too early, so as to carry too many burdens while thinning out his already small main forces.

Sharpen the knife and do not mistake the woodcutter. Chen Wen told his generals.

Relying on these materials and storage, Chen Wen quickly assembled an army of more than 7,000 people. This army will be the foundation for Chen Wen to hold this base and then recover more lost land, although it is extremely reluctant to raise such a large army with the land of two counties, but he can't care about it.

If you can't defeat the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army, you can recover more lost territory. Then, according to the future historical development, there will be nothing to speak of; But if you can defeat the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army, and then continue to recover the lost territory, even if it is less than expected, it is not a big deal, isn't there still Wang Jiang?

With such a practical bureaucrat who can afford to raise thousands of troops just by occupying a mountainous area, Chen Wen felt that he didn't need to think about any military and financial matters at all, as long as he took the army with peace of mind.

Since there are more than 7,000 people at the moment, according to the previous experimental establishment carried out in the first game, Chen Wen plans to organize them into three field battalions. They are named Nantang, Dongyang and Yiwu. Each battalion has four infantry bureaus organized like the first bureau, and the battalion is subordinate to cavalry, artillery, engineers, and military doctors, with a total of more than 2,000 troops. The remaining non-commissioned officers were incorporated into the reserve force or garrison force, and were responsible for local security.

It's just that for Chen Wen at the moment, this plan is obviously just a dream. Before the troops were dispatched from Tiantai Mountain, the total strength of the Nantang battalion was only more than 1,000 people, and at this time, it was only accompanied by the first game. Therefore, Chen Wen planned to organize the new Nantang battalion as a whole in the first game, and the troops that had not yet come to join were assigned to the other two battalions. As the backbone of these two battalions.

In this way, the combat effectiveness of the armed forces will inevitably decline to a certain extent. However, the previous materials were not enough to support the formation of a larger army, and now it can only deal with the inevitable counterattack of the Qing army while bearing the sequelae.

But even so, the pressure on weapons and equipment is still amazing, and even does not meet the planned standards at all.

The cold weapons used by the Mandarin Duck Array Killer Team and the Cavalry Team Chen Wen can be made by the blacksmiths in these two counties, but the bird guns used by the firearms team and the artillery used by the artillery team cannot be made up at all, and this is still when Chen Wen recruits some bird guns and artillery manufacturing craftsmen.

And then there's the war horse. Originally, after capturing that batch, Chen Wen was still full of the idea that he could deal with the Qing army alone with a town with cavalry. But as soon as I thought of the Manchu army in Zhejiang and the cavalry they were equipped with, my heart became cold.

And, of course, armor. Chen Wen had previously captured a large number of batches from the hands of the standard battalion, and after giving them to Yu Guowang so that he could have stronger strength to contain the Qing army in Taizhou, the armor with cloth armor as the main body also reached more than 800 sets, and if the more than 100 sets in Dongyang County were rewarded, then there would be more than 900 sets of armor.

However, compared with 900 and 7000, the gap between the two sides was still huge, and the disparity was so great that after Chen Wen abolished the armor of the birdmen, artillerymen, and engineers, the gap was still amazingly large.

And in addition to weapons and equipment, personnel is also a big problem.

The formation of a bird gun is far easier than that of a qualified archer, and it can be completed through a period of mechanical training, but the lack of bird guns has led to Chen Wen having to recruit some hunters to use bows and arrows as a temporary supplement for firepower, and the number of missing numbers is too large, so that even if hunters are recruited, they cannot be completed.

The other is the cavalry, Zhejiang's water network is vertical, relying on ships for transportation is far more than land transportation, so there are far more boatmen who can operate boats than men who can ride horses, and this also led to Chen Wen falling into a situation where although he captured a large number of war horses, he was unable to fill them.

The only thing to be thankful for is the boatmen and sailors, which is indeed quite a lot, but the problem is that Chen Wen does not have so many warships for fighting in the rivers. Of course, he didn't have a single one when he fought at sea......

The dream of the Star Destroyers of the whole formation falling from the sky and sweeping the universe was shattered by the reality of the military details after opening his eyelids, and Chen Wen had to let these sailors temporarily use civilian ships for training, and none of these ships could barely be converted into warships.

In fact, even if there were, it was useless, the artillery in Chen Wen's hand was not even satisfied with the needs of a battalion, let alone put it on the battleship.

In this case, Chen Wen had to try his best to complete the establishment of the Nantang Battalion, which was the main force, while the other two battalions could only temporarily rely on the Infantry Bureau to support the whole scene.

Halfway through the training of new recruits has been completed here. After completion, just wait for the old battalion and the troops left behind in the old camp to come and converge to use it to deal with the counterattack of the Qing army. It's just that when the Qing army will arrive in Jinhua, Chen Wen has no information about this.

………………

With the fall of Zhoushan City, the Ming army had to sail away, and the Qing army did not choose to evacuate after completing the massacre. Instead, the army was divided into Zhoushan and Dinghai, and the army was sent to continue to pursue the Ming army of the Lu Jian State system, while the idea of reporting the aftermath was waiting for the decision of the Qing court.

However, before the Qing court could react, Zhoushan's defense must also be done to prevent the Ming army from killing a horse pistol and causing their previous military operations to be wasted.

Therefore, after discussing with Jin Li, Liu Zhiyuan, Xiao Qiyuan, Tian Xiong, and other leading figures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Zhejiang, Chen Jin decided to set up a Zhoushan First Association with a number of 3,000 soldiers. Among them, the left and right battalions are naval divisions, and the middle battalion is the land division stationed in Zhoushan City. This is the proper meaning, Zhoushan is located on the island, guarding the heaviest water division, but if there is no land division, it is not enough to defend, just like this Ming army, once the naval division is frustrated, there is not enough land division on the island is bound to lose.

It's just a matter of changing circumstances. After the Ming army withdrew from Zhoushan, the Qing army's defense focus in Zhejiang also changed. In addition, it is impossible to recruit soldiers on an ad hoc basis. Therefore, Chen Jin left 400 pacesetters of the Admiral, 1,000 pacesetters of Dinghai Town, 1,000 left battalions of the Dingguan Water Division, and 800 left battalions of the Qiantang Water Division, a total of 3,200 soldiers, plus 600 soldiers of the Su Song Water Division, temporarily leaving these nearly 4,000 people in Zhoushan to guard the palace to prevent the Ming army from going and returning.

It is normal for the Dinghai Division and the Qiantang Naval Division to stay behind, because they occupy Zhoushan. The Qing army's defense pressure in the Dinghai and Qiantang River areas will also be sharply reduced, and even the Dinghai General Battalion will send troops to stay in Zhoushan. Only the remaining troops of the standard battalion are not so simple.

Zhejiang Admiral Biaoying, originated from the Hongguang Dynasty in the four towns of Jiangbei Huang Degong's army, after Huang Degong's death. Tian Xiong relied on the credit of holding Emperor Hongguang hostage and giving it to the Qing army, and then accumulated merit and was promoted to the governor of Zhejiang. During this period, in order to ensure its combat effectiveness and subdue the anti-Qing forces in Zhejiang, Dolgon did not dismantle this army, and even Tian Xiong's generals were hardly transferred to other positions.

There was nothing wrong with Dolgon's response, after all, a military general who betrayed the son of Nan Ming would not be reused even if he returned anyway. During this period, Tian Xiong always led the army to suppress the anti-Qing forces in various parts of Zhejiang, and even when Lu Jianguo made a big disturbance in Fujian, it was this army that went to help suppress Lu Jianguo and bombed Lu Jianguo back to the sea, which can be described as very hard.

It's just that now that Dolgon is dead, and the Qing court is liquidating Dolgon's henchmen, after which the slave chief Fulin handed over all the black cauldrons to the "regent of the imperial father" who has been frustrated, and he didn't care about the "childhood sweetheart" between his wife and Dolgon in the braided drama in later generations, and the "sneaky" love behind Huang Taiji's back, and completely left behind his kindness of holding Dolgon's golden thigh to sit on the throne.

With such a cool temperament, he is really in the same vein as his grandfather Nurhachi and his uncle Dolgon, but his father Huang Taiji is not very hooked, I really don't know if there are any ulteriors next door that can be written into the pigtail play.

The liquidation of Dolgon has begun, and some of the policies left by Dolgon have begun to be overturned, and it is impossible for Chen Jin and Tian Xiong to be unaware of this, so it is understandable that the dismantling and upgrading battalion itself is taking sides in disguise.

Historically, these 400 soldiers stayed in Zhoushan after they were transferred out of the standard battalion; As soon as the Zhoushan War ended, the deputy general of the Chinese army in the standard battalion was immediately appointed as the deputy general of Xing'an, Shaanxi, and was thrown from the southeast to the northwest; Soon, Ba Chenggong, the deputy general of the cavalry of the Chinese army, was also transferred to Zhoushan as a deputy general; A year later, Li Rong, the deputy general of the left battalion, was transferred to Chuzhou as a deputy general.

In this way, the former Tian family army was dismembered and re-repositioned, and became a pure Manchu green battalion. And Tian Xiong not only entered the Han army with the yellow flag, but also sat in the position of the governor of Zhejiang until the second year of Kangxi, during which he was repeatedly impeached and pardoned by the slave chieftain Fulin.

However, the current development of the situation has already exceeded Chen Jin's expectations. After the fall of Zhoushan City, the Ming army went south to Wenzhou Sanpan, and although the previous chaos in Taizhou was very strong, it also began to calm down under the joint efforts of Ma Jinbao and Ma Xin.

But the problem now is that Chen Wen, the general of the Ming army of Dalanshan, who once made Tian Xiong suffer a big loss, took advantage of the emptiness in western Zhejiang to enter Jinhua Mansion, and with the help of Li Zhifang, the governor of Jinhua Mansion, and Tang Bao, this Ming army is growing almost every day, but it has always maintained a steady and steady posture, and it is not at all like other Ming armies or rebel armies that take advantage of the impact of the initial attack to attack various places, and finally divide the already small elite.

After a secret conversation with Tian Xiong, Chen Jin deepened his understanding of this strange Ming general. Mandarin duck array! A military general who dares to play this set of battle formations that has disappeared for many years, and can still use it in a good way, is really not an opponent who gets along with each other.

It's just that at present, the mobile troops of the Qing army in Zhejiang have just completed the encirclement and suppression of Zhoushan, and all of them are in a state of exhaustion.

At present, the Ming army seems to be waiting for the Qing army to send troops to encircle and suppress, and gather greater forces before that; However, it is impossible for the Qing army to consume it, because even if the Qing army wants to spend all the units on the expedition to Zhoushan to complete the repair, the Ming army will not be able to give them a chance!

After reconsidering the cards that could be played in his hand, Chen Jin decided to return to Hangzhou with most of the Eight Banners garrisoned in Hangzhou, and the standard battalion stayed in Dinghai, and the team led by Mei Lezhangjing, Wu Ruyu and Dinghai General Zhang Jie continued to pursue and kill Lu Jianguo, and the task of Taizhou's clean-up was handed over to Taizhou General Soldier Ma Xin and the part of Ningbo Green Battalion that had previously assisted in the defense of Ninghai County.

As for the other troops that have been saved, they need to cooperate with the surrounding local green battalions to concentrate their forces to encircle and suppress Chen Wen, who is causing chaos in Jinhua, and must not let him gain a foothold in Jinhua Mansion.

In this way, this army with tens of thousands of soldiers, marching from multiple roads, should be enough to extinguish the resistance of this Ming army. In Chen Jin's view, as long as Chen Wensuo's troops can be eliminated, then there will be no large-scale Ming army in Zhejiang, and he can also focus on Zheng Chenggong, who has already killed many Fujian Qing troops in Zhangzhou.
