[On the first day of the new week, ask for a collection ......]

Lushan, in the General's Mansion.

"Wow wow......" The baby's loud cry turned into human ears like a magic sound.

There was a thick quilt on the carved bed, and Xiao Chen Ding was on all fours, scratching and kicking, crying as if the sky was dark, in fact, not a single tear fell. A pair of big black eyes looked at the mother sitting on the edge of the bed, holding his favorite toy in her hand, but with a straight face; After a while, he looked pitifully at the anxious grandmother on the side, as long as Li Xiaomei or Gao's eyes met his eyes, Xiao Chen Ding cried even more as soon as his eyes were closed.

"Yue ......" Gao watched his grandson cry so much, and his psychological face was distressed.

"Mother, don't get used to him. The child can climb three times, six sits and nine times, and the child who is as big as him outside climbs very neatly. Just him, crawling two steps and being paralyzed. I really can't get used to him anymore. ”

Li Xiaomei was talking to Gao's while slashing at Xiao Chen Ding with her eyes. Just because she wanted him to learn to climb, and after climbing for a while, Li Xiaomei had been counted down many times by the Gao family and the higher-level Mrs. Huang.

Xiao Chen Ding, who cried and cried, saw that his grandmother didn't help him, and the old lady still held toys in her hands from time to time to tempt him, and finally couldn't bear the temptation, turned over and lay on the bed, and crawled to his mother on all fours.

Li Xiaomei did not continue to 'practice' Xiao Chen Ding, held Chen Ding in her arms, and gave him the toys she snatched in her hands as Chen Ding wished. Gao stepped forward in two steps, hugged his grandson, and glanced at Li Xiaomei fiercely: "I have never seen you as a mother...... " When Chen Ming was young, the Gao family was so precious to him, it was a treasure that the Gao family had waited for for many years. I am really afraid of falling in my hand, and I am afraid of melting in my mouth.

At present, Chen Ding is Chen Ming's only son, no matter whether the Chen family can succeed or not, Chen Ding's status as a son and grandson is unshakable, and he is completely the first heir of the third generation.

Xiao Chen Ding could feel a different breath from his mother in his grandmother's arms, and immediately showed a big sweet smile to Gao's family, and Gao's heart was about to melt.

Because of Chen Ming's repeated expeditions and wars, the Gao family really put all his worries and love for his son on his grandson.

The women of the Chen family are very anxious and uneasy, they are now prosperous and wealthy, and they enjoy the respect of thousands of people, but once they fail, the entire Chen family will fall into the abyss, and even the most ordinary and poor civilian life is far away from them. However, they have no power to change all this, so they can only accept it silently.

In the study room of the General's Mansion, Chen Hui was studying in detail the military intelligence reports submitted by the newly organized six arm-armored battalions. Seventy percent of these six A battalions will go south in a few days, and seventy percent of them are prisoners of war who have surrendered, and seventy percent of the remaining thirty percent are also recruits, and only a few percent of the real veterans of the Chen family army.

It is not very safe for such troops to stay in the territory of the General's Palace, especially when the second encirclement and suppression of the Qing court is about to pounce, and the remaining troops of the Chen family army are likely to fall into the predicament of stubborn defense, and it is difficult to guarantee the loyalty of such troops in this case.

At the beginning of their formation, they were prepared for Chen Ming's expeditionary force, and these 3,000 people were already the second batch, and the first batch of people was also 3,000, and they were also six battalions of armored soldiers.

These 6,000 people took away the prisoners of war who had served in the base area during this period of time, and Chen Ming would also send back to the base area most of the results of the battle after his troops entered Yunyang Mansion. For Chen Jiajun, in the coming days, loyalty is far more important than combat effectiveness.

Of course, Chen Ming confidently took in so many prisoners of war because of his golden fingers, for these camp leaders with prisoners of war as the main body, the 'Wangqi Technique' is definitely the best magic weapon to deal with them.

Chen Hui didn't know about Chen Ming's bug, so he was very worried. If Chen Ming was on an expedition, the battalion head of the main force of these prisoners of war suddenly collapsed, not to mention a counterattack, as long as they suddenly broke up, they could fall into a place of no return. Therefore, Chen Hui read the military intelligence reports of these battalion leaders in detail, and personally inquired about every change in these battalion heads.

All prisoners of war who surrendered to the army were disorganized from their formation to their place of origin before they were assembled into the armoured barracks.

Henan, Shaanxi, Hubei, a small number of Anhui soldiers, the green battalion prisoners of war in the four provinces, so many military towns and camp heads, as thoroughly stirred together as mud, and did their best to make the captive soldiers in the camp heads not know each other and are not familiar with each other.

Then there was the armament of the armoured barracks, which were not equipped with muskets, and the captives were dressed in the simplest rattan iron armor; And this rattan iron armor is different from the rattan iron armor at the beginning, the current rattan iron armor is based on the rattan armor as a frame, with a layer of iron sheets on the outside, and the leather and wattle strips are woven together, this is the rattan iron armor. The regular recruits are equipped with old-fashioned rattan iron armor, and the chest part is still the same iron cuirass; In the end, the veterans who were only 10% of the number in the team were wearing iron armor with stronger and more comprehensive protection.

This can be regarded as a deterrent to the captive soldiers.

Not to mention that this kind of artificial hierarchy affects combat effectiveness, the Chen family's military merit system is very clear, as long as the meritorious service, the captive soldiers can also wear iron armor if they have enough merit. Is the current class status not the class status of a soldier for the rest of his life?

The veterans were also armed with four grenades each, and some officers were armed with handcuffs.

On the whole, the order of the twelve battalion heads before and after this is still certain to a certain extent before it is seriously tested.

That's all Chen Hui can do for Chen Ming in the base area.

The twelve new battalion leaders before and after, even the officers were all promoted from the firing line of the officers of the first brigade, and they, together with the headquarters under Chen Ming's current command, together with 10,000 horses, were the basic plate of Chen Ming's expeditionary team, and at most Chen Ming recruited some more in Yunyang. The number of people will definitely not exceed 15,000 people, mainly cold weapons, supplemented by muskets and artillery.

Chen Hui put down the report in his hand, rubbed his eyes, and showed a touch of fatigue on his face. Since the return of the Shaanxi Green Battalion, the pressure on Chen Hui's shoulders has been increasing day by day, and in this war, there is no Chen Ming in the base area to share the pressure with him.

The people and horses further south of Nanyang will naturally be restrained by Chen Ming, but the people and horses in Ganshan, Zhili, Jingshi Banner Soldiers, Shandong and other places must be carried by the base area, and the military pressure borne by Chen Ming before suddenly fell on Chen Hui's shoulders, which made his heart heavy all the time.

Chen Hui has never fought, he is very afraid that he will not be able to withstand this pressure, when his son is fighting in the south of the Yangtze River, the nest suddenly falls, how tragic should it be? Chen Hui has repeatedly visited the team and the recruit camp these days, and said to himself again and again in a firm tone: Chen Hui, you must resist, resist. But I just don't have a score in my heart.

According to the secret report from the secret camp, the Qianlong Emperor mobilized the multi-route army of Ganshan, Zhili and Shandong, and also used the Beijing banner of the Fengtai camp. Like the firearms battalion, the Jianrui battalion, and the escort battalion, all of them have been dispatched. In addition, the horse teams of Jilin and Shengjing and a part of the Mongolian horse teams were also mobilized.

The menacing is to crush Ruzhou into powder in one fell swoop with Mount Tai. Chen Hui ......, can he Taishan not bend over? ?
