On the way back to the camp, Chen Wen re-examined the little routine he proposed to Wang Yi.

Historically, in August of this year, Wang Yi sent Liu Yiming to lead the army to cooperate with Chen Tianshu and Yu Guowang to attack Xinchang, and captured Hushansu in Xinchang in this month, while the established target Xinchang County was not captured until September.

In the Battle of Xinchang, Chen Tianshu was wounded and died, and the result of this southward advance was abandoned by Yu Guowang when the Qing army marched south to attack Xinchang in November after drawing troops from Siming Mountain. Even Liu Yiming died of illness a month later, probably related to the fact that Xinchang did not stand firm and the fundamental place was uprooted.

After learning of Wang Yi's specific plan, Chen Wen planned to make Wang Yi give up this meaningless counterattack. Even if they can't give up completely, they must urge Liu Yiming and Chen Tianshu to withdraw their troops from Dalanshan after capturing Hushan to prepare to meet the Qing army, and Chen Wen's routine is based on this.

Chen Wen suggested to Wang Yi that after the capture of Hushan, Liu Yiming and Chen Tianshu should quietly withdraw their troops and lurk in a place in the north of Siming Mountain, while Yu Guowang continued to besiege Xinchang under the banner of these two at the same time. When the Qing army encircled and suppressed, Liu Yiming and Chen Tianshu suddenly appeared and defeated Tian Xiong in a battle.

This routine comes from Chen Wen's understanding of the Ming Plank Road and the Dark Chen Cang, and the play is a suddenness. Although there are still many details to be studied in the details of this near-paper-based plan, it is also the only plan that Chen Wen can come up with that has a chance to change this part of history.

In Chen Wen's opinion, Liu Yiming's two battalions have always had a good reputation, and although Chen Tianshu's army is small in number, they are all cavalry, and it is said that it is also the top platoon in the Ming army in the Siming Mountain area, especially some of Chen Tianshu's subordinates were handed over to him by Zhang Huangyan, which made Chen Wen have some curiosity and inexplicable trust in this family.

If you act according to Chen Wen's plan, when the two armies are fighting, Liu Yiming suddenly shows his banner, the Qing army will be somewhat affected, and then his mandarin duck array and Chen Tianshu's cavalry cooperate with each other to kill from the flank, and the battle situation can basically be locked, after all, the feudal army's ability to bear casualties and deal with changes is very low, and Tian Xiong is not a famous general with outstanding ability.

However, Wang Yi disagreed.

According to Wang Yi's plan, Yu Guowang, Chen Tianshu, and Liu Yiming would attack Shengxian after capturing Xinchang. After that, Yu Guowang and Chen Tianshu were stationed there, while Liu Yiming continued to attack Jinhua Mansion in the south. When they had previously formulated their plans, Wang Yi and these generals generally felt that none of this was difficult, and once Liu Yiming entered Jinhua, the people would inevitably eat pot pulp to welcome the king.

As for the reason why they came to this conclusion, it is actually very simple, because in addition to the fierce folk customs in that place of Jinhua Mansion, it has been complained about the land scraped by the Manchu Jinhua general soldier Ma Jinbao.

Ma Jinbao's person, Chen Wen, knows that he is Ma Fengzhi, the commander of Su Song who Qian Qianyi has always wanted to rebel against and was at both ends of the rat head in the Battle of Nanjing. Although I don't know when he changed his name, or if he knew the name of the brand, but this person's reputation and methods of scraping the ground were very famous in Jiangnan in the early Qing Dynasty, especially his trick of hanging people upside down and pouring vinegar into their noses, even Chen Wen, who is a modern person, shuddered after seeing it in the book.

Normal people can't stand choking in their noses, let alone filling the aqueous solution of acetic acid, even if vinegar is rich in trace substances such as amino acids and is beneficial to the human body, it is not something to be poured into the nose.

Regarding Wang Yi's follow-up plan, Chen Wen thought for a few days and couldn't come up with a feasible reason to refute it, and he couldn't use "I know history" to dispel Wang Yi's plan that he had made long before he came to this era. As a result, Chen Wen could only convince him that the skin did not exist, and Mao Jiangyan echoed the reason that the generals did not think about victory and first thought about defeat.

However, the effect is very bad.

In the end, Wang Yi agreed that when he met with the three generals in the southern part of Siming Mountain in early August, he would bring up Chen Wen's idea and let them discuss it. And Chen Wen only got this guarantee.

Forget it, it's better to ask for others than for yourself, let's think about how I took Wang Yi and them to successfully open up this epic difficulty copy.

When Chen Wen returned to the barracks, the soldiers had already gone to the established west campus under the leadership of officers at all levels. Chen Wen was secretly glad that he was not late, so he hurriedly boarded the military platform and obtained the military law he had formulated earlier from Gu Shouli, who had already thought out for Shangguan.

Chen Wen's military law is divided into two parts, the upper part is called the ordinance, and the second part is directly called the military law.

The regulations are applicable to daily work and rest, training and non-war conditions, including the meals and sleeping according to the squad and the priority of subordinates to eat, sleep and give priority to subordinates, which Chen Wen began to enforce at noon. Training from the afternoon and the vast majority of non-war situations are also covered by the regulations.

Chen Wen's regulations removed all corporal punishments in the Ming military law, such as cutting off the nose, cutting off the ears, and piercing the camp with arrows, and the punishment methods were mainly composed of whipping and military sticks, and there were few punishments such as beheading. As for the punishment he had originally planned, including cleaning the barracks, the three thousand officers considered it to be a tendency to insult the dignity of the soldiers and did not conform to the spirit of Chen Wen's regulations, so it was cancelled.

This made Chen Wen quite a little baffled, when he was about to abolish the corporal punishment, he was noncommittal by these three guys, and even secretly scoffed, but on the issue of cleaning the barracks, it was determined that it was damaging the dignity of the soldiers, I really don't know who is insulting the dignity of the soldiers?

If an officer or soldier is formally integrated into the group of this army, then the most complicated and occupy the vast majority of the regulations of daily routine and rest regulations are basically impossible to violate, as for the remaining number, Chen Wen thinks that even a fool can write it down, and if he can't remember it, he will be remembered by being whipped twice or with a military stick.

Unlike regulations, the military law section is very short and includes marching, camping, and battlefield discipline in a state of war, as well as some special circumstances.

In addition to the same removal of corporal punishment in the military law part, the punishment is completely different from the regulations, almost all of them appear in the form of beheading, and there are few whipping and cane punishment, especially in battlefield discipline.

"In battle, if the commander dies and there is no capture in the army, the whole army will be killed; If the captain dies and the team has no winners, the whole team will be killed; If the sentry commander is killed in battle and there is no capture at the outpost, all the captains will be beheaded......"

This is the military method used by the Qi family army back then, and it was inherited by Chen Wen. In this regard, in addition to the children of the Qi family army such as Wu Dengke and Lou Jiye, even Liaodong people like Li Ruixin also take such punishments for granted.

As early as when Chen Wen finished talking about the regulations, the soldiers generally lamented that the punishment was too light compared to Chen Wen's military law of the Ming Army, but no one dared to discuss it on the spot, after all, the first article of the regulations read out by Chen Wen here is about the punishment regulations for the commander's speech and the subordinates talking loudly or whispering without permission, especially under the watchful eyes of the officers and the suppression soldiers, no one dared to become a model.

For them, the corporal punishment in the military law of the Ming army is really unacceptable, after all, the nose and ears can't grow if they are cut off. Becoming disabled not only affects their own image and senses, but also their wives are deeply affected, which is also their biggest concern since they entered the camp.

The regulations amended by Chen Wen abolished all corporal punishment and replaced it with flogging and caning. Although the whip and the military stick still hurt to be beaten, at least they did not become crippled, which made them grateful to Chen Wen, and at the same time, they felt that this coach still had the kindness of some literati women.

But isn't that better?

It's a pity that the happy time passed too quickly, and when Chen Wen began to explain the absolutely harsh military law, the joy in every soldier's heart suddenly disappeared. And some of the officers who knew a general idea in advance showed that when they saw the expressions of their subordinates, they either gloated or were saddened, after all, these military laws of beheading and sitting together at every turn applied equally to each of them.

Of course, the same applies to Chen Wen himself!

It's just that Chen Wen knows that in addition to the harsh military law, the reward for each beheading of the Qi family army is as high as forty taels of silver!

In the Wanli years, one tael of silver could buy two stones of rice, which is nearly four hundred catties, and forty taels is less than 16,000 catties! The Qi army's resistance to the Japanese was basically in the Jiajing period, when the opening of the sea in Longqing had not yet begun, and overseas silver had not yet poured into China on a large scale, and the purchasing power of silver would only be higher.

On the one hand, it is the harsh military law of beheading and sitting at every turn, and on the other hand, it is a high reward for obtaining a few beheadings to buy a house, buy a land, marry a wife, and hire tenants. It is no wonder that the Qi family army rarely took prisoners when facing the Japanese invaders, as long as all that could be beheaded were exchanged for silver.

Chen Wen didn't know how Qi Jiguang, a poor military officer who had no money left behind after his death, did all this, but he also had his own method, but that method couldn't be used now.

Because of this, it is very difficult for him at the moment. With the financial situation of Dalanshan, it is absolutely impossible for Wang Yi and Wang Jiang to raise the bounty for beheading to this number, even if the silver has long been depreciated today, they can't afford it, because they don't have more than Chen Wen's battalion under them.

Therefore, Chen Wen needs some other means.

"The beheadings of the battalion are counted by the team, and the reward is divided into twenty parts, with the captain taking three shares, the captain taking two shares, the firefighters taking one, and the other soldiers each taking one and a half. All beheadings are taken by the firefighters, and the firefighters have to cut off the beheadings of their own team, and the soldiers are not allowed to leave the battle formation to harvest the heads, and the firearms team and the cavalry team are decapitated separately. All the seizures of the camp belong to the public, and they are not allowed to be stored privately, and after the war, they will be awarded according to their military exploits. ”

The decapitation is not a surprise to the officers and soldiers, after all, the mandarin duck formation is a whole, each person has their own tasks, if it is assigned according to the individual, the soldiers in charge of defense will suffer, so it becomes natural for the firemen to cut off the head.

As for Chen Wen's method of distributing the reward, it did not arouse too many opinions, the officers took more, the firefighters took less, and the other people had the same basic principles, and the officers and soldiers could accept it. It's just that the capture and return to the public is a bit disappointing to the soldiers, the Ming army has always been a soldier to search for and capture, and then layer by layer to honor the officer, now the capture and return to the public can get a reward for war merits, but how much can be divided is not up to their own decision, so the soldiers are more concerned about the beheading reward.

"According to the rules set by Qi Shaobao back then, beheading the widows will be rewarded with forty taels of silver. The general decided that the reward for the beheading of the Mongolian Eight Banners in this camp is forty taels, and the reward for beheading the Eight Banners is sixty taels! ”

"Wow!" Hearing this reward, almost everyone was startled, and even some involuntarily made a sound, but the pacifiers at this time were also stunned, and they had no time to care about these behaviors that obviously stepped on the punishment line of the regulations.

Although the purchasing power of silver is not as amazing as in Qi Jiguang's era, ordinary people in this era do not know how much it has depreciated. They only knew that the Mongols were tens of thousands of people and tens of thousands of people were annihilated by the Qi army, and although the Manchurian Eight Banners were very strong, didn't their generals also talk about it, and the Qi family army led by General Qi Jin in Hunhe was also not afraid of them.

Such a high reward really made the officers and soldiers dumbfounded for a while, and the beheading of a Mongol plus a Jiannu was one hundred taels! Even if you can only behead the Mengbaqi soldiers, wouldn't it be nice to kill a few more? After all, the fighting power of the Mongols has always been despised by the Han people in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

It's just that in this mountainous area where the news is blocked, they don't know that there are very few Eight Banners in Zhejiang at this stage. There are Han Eight Banners, a full 4,000 people, but a month later, Chen Wen only planned to force him back. It's not that he is afraid of war, it's just that he really can't raise confidence in the fighting ability of his teammates, especially when he recalls the Xue Ao guerrilla general Wang Sheng, who was beaten by him, this distrust is even more profound.

"Behead the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and reward thirty taels of silver; behead the governor, governor, admiral, and general soldier standard battalion, and reward fifteen taels of silver; behead ordinary green battalion soldiers, and reward ten taels of silver; Beheading auxiliaries, regimental trainers and bandits, depending on the situation. ”

The combat capability of the auxiliary troops is almost zero, and the regimental training of the troops in this era is not the Hunan army and the Huai army in later generations, but the mass armed forces organized by the local landlords for the purpose of defending the township. In fact, many bandits are just people who have no livelihood to be exploited by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and they only go up to the mountains to farm land in the mountains to avoid exploitation, and not all of them are engaged in plundering, so it depends on the situation.

"Ugh." As the reward of the Han army was proposed by Chen Wen, the surprise in the hearts of the officers and soldiers suddenly turned into ecstasy. Compared to the Mongols, those Han troops of the Manchu Qing were more despised by the Ming army of this era.

Of course, these contempts are more moral. In addition to not wanting the ancestors to be dogs for the Tartars, the Han army's ability to plunder the people and merchants was not at all under the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners, which constituted the Ming army's contempt for them. And these moral misdeeds also affected the evaluation of the combat effectiveness of the Han army in these Manchu armies, which had a moral advantage in psychology.

The officers and soldiers in Chen Wen's camp generally felt that the Qi family army they copied back then couldn't defeat a group of two Tartars who didn't want their ancestors, right?

A Han Eight Banner soldier is worth thirty taels, and a team of twelve people is enough to score points together. As for those green battalion soldiers, it would be nice not to die from the unknown AOE, but they just had to bother the firefighters to have more strength to cut off their heads, but they wouldn't mind.

If this is the case, after a few years in the army, the settling-in allowance, monthly salary, plus the decapitation bounty and some extra income, even if you are exploited by the quartermaster and your superiors, you can build a house and buy land to become a small landowner when you return to your hometown. At that time, in addition to the daughter-in-law, there may be a few concubines. As for the casualties, the casualties of the Qi family's army have always been very low, so will it be their turn to be so unlucky?

It's just that Chen Wen knows very well that in addition to the Black Flag Han Army established by Huang Taiji, many of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty in this era are Dongjiang troops brought by Kong Youde, Shang Kexi and others, and those are veterans who have fought old battles. Among the soldiers of the green battalion, especially Tian Xiong's standard battalion, which had also encircled and suppressed the rogues under Huang Degong's tent back then, the combat effectiveness was actually not as weak as these soldiers in the battalion imagined.

However, this kind of psychological advantage is something that Chen Wen is happy to see. In his impression, when the Guanning Army of the "Pit Daddy Iron Cavalry" entered the Guanding Dengzhou Rebellion and encircled and suppressed the Liukou, in addition to the strength of the soldiers, it had more of this psychological advantage.

Taking Zuo Liangyu and Wu Sangui as examples, Zuo Liangyu Chongzhen began to encircle and suppress Liukou in the early years, and he can also be called a tiger general, at that time, ruthless characters like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong may not be able to beat him. But in the last years of Chongzhen, these two brushed out the six god costumes, Zuo Liangyu immediately couldn't bear it, and later, as soon as he heard that the Dashun army was going south, he did not hesitate to raise troops on the side of Qingjun, and refused to fight against Li Zicheng.

Let's talk about Wu Sangui, this peerless general, who is known as a gorgeous soldier, cooperated with the deputy general Zu Dabi under his father Wu Xiang to beat Kong Youde's rebels when he pacified the Dengzhou Rebellion. This has a lot to do with their psychological advantage as a counter-rebel, and Kong Youde's psychological disadvantage as a rebel. But when it came to the battle of a stone, facing Li Zicheng, who had an endless left hand and a red fork in his right hand, Wu Sangui was beaten so much that he didn't even know his father. Because of this, he could only shave his hair overnight and save his life by re-identifying his father.

Before the battle, he was cowardly, and he was so frightened that he peed his pants before the fight, and there was no need to fight.

Chen Wen was very glad that the slogan he shouted to rebuild the Qi family army had begun to imperceptibly affect the psychology of the soldiers. Still, that's not enough for the upcoming training!

"The camp's settling-in allowance, true color, folded color, beheading reward and war merit reward are all issued by the quartermaster in accordance with military merits, including the general, and officers at all levels shall not embezzle." After saying that, Chen Wen turned to face Qi Xiufeng, and asked sharply: "Quartermaster Qi Xiufeng, from you, if anyone dares to embezzle, he will be killed!" Do you know? ”

Hearing this, Qi Xiufeng actually showed a look of course, bowed to Chen Wen and said: "The students understand that the students will not dare to violate the military law, and they will not let the soldiers be trapped in hunger and cold. ”

"Good!" Looking at Qi Xiufeng's expression, Chen Wen breathed a sigh of relief, strict supervision is still necessary, and this person who is like a blank sheet of paper does not have to worry too much about what heinous cases he will create in the near future. As for the long-term, let's talk about the pass in more than a month.

At this moment, the soldiers under Chen Wen's command showed their joy, although they were still a little worried about whether they could get the full amount, but since the lord had been written in the military law, it should be less even if they were exploited.

At this moment, the officers present looked complicated, they lost some opportunities to exploit the soldiers, but they did not have to worry too much about being exploited by their superiors for the time being. It is still unknown which is more important, how can it not be complicated?

At this moment, Gu Shouli, who was standing on the side, took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, turned around and rolled his sleeves to wipe the sweat on his forehead. He was very glad that he did not choose the position of quartermaster with a lot of oil and water, but chose this master book to deal with copywriting.

Because he can feel that Chen Wen does what he says!
