After the results were announced, Chen Wen led the soldiers of the battalion to the point platform, ready to receive instructions and rewards, and the garrison of the middle battalion came to the side of Chen Wen's headquarters with the headquarters.

Seeing that the two garrisons and their subordinates fell to the ground, Wang Yi announced the rewards of two battalions, Chen Wen's battalion was ten taels per soldier, and the garrison in the middle battalion was five taels per soldier.

Seeing that his subordinates had thanked him for the reward, Wang Yi announced a separate reward for Chen Wen and his battalion.

"The management of the army of the dynasty, meritorious service will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished, and Chen Wen has meritorious service in patrolling and garrisoning, plus guerrilla rank, and still manages the original army."

"The last general Xie Jingluo promoted the grace." On this day, from the guerrilla general to the garrison and then to the guerrilla rank to actually teach the garrison, Chen Wen wanted to vomit a little when he sat in the elevator, especially when he changed his name back and forth, which really made him miss the days when he called himself "me" or "this baby" in modern times.

"Guerrilla Chen, you must remember to do things in the future, there is no benefit in acting recklessly."

It is not yet known what will happen in the future, but Chen Wen did not regret what happened yesterday, he was demoted from a guerrilla general to a garrison, even if he was promoted from the chief officer and deputy general to the end, he would not care.

In this era, as long as there is military power, the Ming Dynasty will not mind putting the hat of the general or the chief military officer on even a white head, even if it is a title, they will not hesitate at all, because at this moment the Ming Dynasty is only left with these

After yesterday, this army is no longer the sixth battalion of the Ming Army of Dalanshan, it has begun to become Chen Wen's private army. You will get what you pay for, and a temporary demotion can be exchanged for such an important thing, and Chen Wen is willing to do it ten or a hundred times.

"The last general should follow the teachings of the scriptures."

Although he couldn't see Chen Wen's expression, Wang Yi still sighed in his heart. In his opinion, rewards and punishments should be clearly deserved, but in the future, he still has to find an opportunity to polish the character of this talented young general.

Wang Yi felt that as a minister, he had to be responsible for the Ming Dynasty. It's just that at this moment, he still has to cultivate the loyalty of this young military general for Lu Jianguo, and prepare for the war that may break out within a month.

"This official is ordered by His Royal Highness to pass through the military affairs of Luonan Zhili and Zhejiang, in order to recover the lost territory. A month ago, this official ordered Chen Guerrilla to organize and train a new battalion, and after today's competition, it has been proved that Chen's guerrilla training method is quite effective. The officer decided to change the number of 500 troops of Chen's guerrilla headquarters to 1,000 from now on, which is the same as the previous five battalions. And awarded the battalion number ......"

Wang Yi looked up at the Flying Tiger Banner that was still in the hands of the flag bearer, and then said: "And grant the battalion number Nantang, I hope that Chen Guerrilla and the soldiers of the Nantang battalion will not forget Qi Shaobao's heart of loyalty and love for the people while practicing Qi Shaobao's military formation." ”

Chen Wen, who had been busy with military training before, didn't take into account the issue of the number at all, while Wang Yi, another qualified name, planned to see the results of Chen Wen's training before deciding whether to give it or not. It's just that the current development has far exceeded Wang Yi's expectations, Chen Wen's army, which has been trained for less than a month, is already capable of killing the middle battalion, which makes him have to leave some imprints of the Ming Dynasty on this future strong army as soon as possible.

It's just that what Chen Wen was thinking about at this time had nothing to do with it......

Commander of the Southern Tang Battalion?

What does this position have to do with the ruling king of the Northern Tang Dynasty?

Could it be that Wang Yi thinks that this baby is a descendant of the military nobles of Guanlong, or a descendant of the queen Li of the Southern Tang Dynasty?

If it weren't for the sentence that Wang Yi made up for later, Chen Wen might have to think about it for a few more minutes before he could react. It's just that the word "Nantang" is really familiar to Chen Wen, who claims to rebuild Qi's army, because Qi Jiguang was called "Nantang" in his early years!

Whether the next battalion should be called Meng Zhu or not, this is a question, I just hope that Qi Shaobao will not mind.

Looking up at the sky, Chen Wen realized that it was still daytime at the moment, and it was impossible to see the Big Dipper. After returning to reality from a daydream, he immediately led the newly released soldiers of the Nantang Battalion to thank the civil officials of the prison army for the number, and said that he would definitely live up to the high hopes of Jinglu.

Next is the celebration banquet, Chen Wen first accepted the toast of the old battalion officials and generals at the banquet in the hall of the Chinese army, and made an appointment with Huang Zhongdao and Mao Mingshan to meet tomorrow. In addition, he also found a gap to discuss the gains and losses with the garrison, and after attributing the combat effectiveness of the Nantang battalion to Qi Jiguang to comfort this colleague who was about to fight side by side on the battlefield, he hurried back to the camp to participate in the celebration banquet in the Nantang camp under the pretext that he was too drunk.

When he returned to the camp, the banquet was already halfway through, and because it was a celebration, Chen Wen also made an exception to let the officers and non-commissioned officers drink a small amount of alcohol, but when he returned, there were still many people who were really overwhelmed by the alcohol and returned to the barracks. After accepting the officer's toast, he took the wine glass and toasted one squad after another, even the firearms team that had lost one game.

Although Chen Wen eats in the same pot with these soldiers of the Nantang Battalion every day, in the feudal army where classes are like father and son, Chen Wen's behavior of toasting his subordinates still bluffs these men in feudal society, and they all express their willingness to die for Chen Wen with their tongues wide.

After the celebration banquet, Chen Wen, who had been drowsy, returned to the room and fell asleep. It's just that he didn't know that Wang Yi and Feng Jingdi, who had retired from the celebration banquet early, quarreled for a whole night. Until the end, Feng Jingdi, who was literary and eloquent, was so angry with Wang Yi, an old friend, that he left Dalanshan with Wang Sheng and other servants before dawn.

In fact, at the beginning, Wang Yi did not discuss Chen Wen's issue with Feng Jingdi, because he had more important things to say, that is, the information provided by Chen Wen. Out of his understanding of Feng Jingdi, Wang Yi did not say that it was brought by Chen Wen, only that it was brought by an old trustee of Nanzhili who was unwilling to provide his name, and he did not dare to mention that he and Wang Jiang suspected that this person was Qian Qianyi, lest Feng Jingdi doubt the authenticity of the information out of personal likes and dislikes.

For this information, Wang Yi quoted some of Chen Wen's theories and the results of his and Wang Jiang's research, and explained to Feng Jingdi the purpose of the Qing army and the situation of the Ming army in eastern Zhejiang. It wasn't until Feng Jingdi approved the results of these military analysis that he informed Feng Jingdi of the plan formulated by Chen Wen.

But after mentioning that it was Chen Wen's plan, Feng Jingdi still exploded. Next, the two friends for many years began a heated debate over whether Chen Wen was a eunuch, whether he could use it, whether his words could be trusted, and whether there would be some ulterior conspiracy in this plan.

During the argument, Wang Yi assured that Chen Wen was not a eunuch, while Feng Jingdi said that Chen Wen's views were the same as Yu Huang's, that he was a eunuch; Wang Yi thinks that Chen Wen is talented and will become a famous general in the Lu Jianguo system in the future, while Feng Jingdi said that he doesn't know if Chen Wen can become a famous general, but he thinks that Chen Wen is a eunuch, so he can't use it at all; Wang Yi felt that Chen Wen was always right in his words and had a high degree of credibility in his words, while Feng Jingdi thought that the eunuchs were not good people and their words must not be believed; Wang Yi said that Chen Wen's plan had been discussed with Wang Jiang many times, and in addition to the details that needed to be further improved, there was a high chance of success, while Feng Jingdi believed that the eunuch party would only corrupt state affairs, and there must be something wrong with this plan.

Then, there was no then, after the two sides quarreled over and over again for a night, they broke up unhappily, Feng Jingdi even threatened that the person who ruined the state affairs in the future must be Chen Wen, and Wang Yi, who supported Chen Wen, would definitely regret reusing Chen Wen.

In the morning, Wang Yi, who had a pair of dark circles under his eyes, told Wang Jiang about the argument with Feng Jingdi that night, but in exchange for Wang Jiang's expression that you deserve it. However, before Wang Yi had time to express his dissatisfaction, Wang Jiang took out a letter that had just been sent today, which dissipated Wang Yi's anger that night.

When Chen Wen woke up, he was already exposed to the sun, but fortunately, in order to take care of his subordinate Wang Yi, he stipulated that the celebration banquet would not be held the next day, and if there was something to do, he would be summoned temporarily, so that he did not have the reputation of being pampered and arrogant.

It's just that after coming out of the room, Chen Wen found that there was almost no one in the camp, and the remaining calming soldiers reminded him that he had ordered a day off today last night, and that everyone would return to the camp before lunch tomorrow to completely pull him out of his drunken state.

After breakfast, which was almost noon, Chen Wen began to study the next step of the army expansion plan.

Chen Wen did not plan to break up the entire battalion for a large-scale average expansion, and even most of the teams did not plan to join new recruits, but only promoted the captains of some of the squads to captains and inserted them into the newly formed squads. The advantage of this is that he can preserve the combat effectiveness of most of the troops and improve it again in the next training, while the disadvantage is that the newly trained team will not be able to form combat effectiveness for a while and a half, and can only provide a supporting role in the upcoming war.

In addition to this, he plans to organize a small engineering corps. Out of distrust of the cavalry, Chen Wen planned to be assisted by professional engineers. Although landmines have been available in China for a long time, and even Qi Jiguang has used them, the craftsmen of Dalanshan have not yet reached this level. As for the ** grenade, he doesn't have any hope for the time being, after all, the current gunpowder reserves and production speed of Dalanshan can't keep up with the consumption of this scale, so he doesn't plan to compete with the British for the naming rights for the time being.

However, there are really things like horse pits, tripping ropes, thistles, etc., and there are people in his camp who are good at similar things. Although these people's skills are still too immature compared to the generation of pit kings, in Chen Wen's opinion, it should still be possible to pit green battalion soldiers, regimental training or something.

And there is actually another reason for this consideration, that is, Chen Wen can't trust the military households in the old camp of Dalanshan who farm as a military camp on weekdays and are pulled up as auxiliaries during the war.

You must know that in modern times, the military is a highly professional profession, and the amateur auxiliaries in the old battalion really make him unable to raise the slightest trust. Even if they cut off the head, they are afraid that they will cut the whip by the way, and those who don't know think that they are killing Buddhist disciples, and they feel guilty when they think about it. Not to mention such a professional job as digging pits, how dare you trust them with confidence.

After lunch, Chen Wen went to Huangzhongdao and Mao Mingshan for an appointment. The three of them pushed cups and changed lamps in the small courtyard where Huang Zhongdao's family lived, chatting about the world, especially about how to use soldiers on the battlefield, Huang Zhongdao and Mao Mingshan gave Chen Wen a lot of inspiration, and most of these were exchanged for their lives over the years; Correspondingly, Chen Wen also came up with some views and analysis of the current situation in return, which opened the eyes of these two martial artists who have mostly spent most of the past two years in Siming Mountain.

Chen Wen knew very well that they wanted to use Chen Wen as a helper to facilitate the fight side by side on the battlefield in the future, and Chen Wen also needed such a relatively reliable teammate to assist him in his work, so the two sides exchanged ideas and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

It's just that Huang Zhongdao and Mao Mingshan will leave Dalan Mountain early tomorrow morning and return to the defense area, so this wine is actually a farewell banquet before parting, after all, as a martial artist, no one knows when they will die on the battlefield.

When parting, Huang Zhongdao and Mao Mingshan each gave Chen Wen a gift, and what Huang Zhongdao gave was a bird gun with exquisite workmanship, which was the trophy of a previous battle. And Mao Mingshan gave Chen Wen a Qi knife, which is said to have been snatched from a Han Eight Banner officer, but in that battle, the Han Eight Banner officer finally escaped under the cover of his own soldiers, so he only got the knife, but not the scabbard, but he heard the prisoner say that this knife was used by the Qi family army led by General Qi Jin during the Battle of the Hunhe River, which is quite commemorative.

Chen Wen was a little embarrassed to accept the gifts of the two, these days, every penny of his money has been invested in this army, and he has never bought anything for himself, and he is not good at giving away the things that Wang Yi rewarded, so he is extremely embarrassed at the moment.

However, Huang Zhongdao and Mao Mingshan didn't care about this, they comforted Chen Wen instead, these gifts of theirs were all trophies, and wouldn't it be over when Chen Wen captured some rare objects on the battlefield in the future, and they also firmly believed that Chen Wen would be able to establish meritorious deeds in a short time, so they were not worried that Chen Wen would be so shameless that he would not give the gift back.

It's just that before their farewell banquet was over, they were all invited to the hall of the Chinese army by Wang Yi. When he arrived at the hall of the Chinese army, Wang Yi told Chen Wen that Liu Yiming and Chen Tianshu had agreed to Chen Wen's plan and were ready to sneak back to the division after taking Hushan, and Yu Guowang would continue to attack Xinchang County under the banner of these two according to his arrangement. In addition, there are two reinforcements outside the range of Siming Mountain, which have promised to attack at that time to contain part of the Qing army.

According to the history books and what he saw with his own eyes, the five battalions of Dalanshan are higher than the local green battalions in Zhejiang, and the two battalions of Liu Yiming, the strongest, may have infinitely close to the elite level of some green battalions. In this way, the five battalions of Dalanshan plus his Nantang battalion can dispatch a total of nearly 4,000 soldiers, as long as other friendly troops can contain the Shaoxing green battalion, he is very confident that he will defeat Tian Xiong's Zhejiang Admiral Standard Battalion in one battle, because his Nantang battalion will be the biggest variable in this battle!

Next, Chen Wen's task was to explain the situation, intelligence, and his response plan to the two highest-ranking generals of the Dalanshan Ming Army, which also made the two have a higher evaluation of Chen Wen's tone and resourcefulness. Subsequently, Huang Zhongdao and Mao Mingshan also put forward their own evaluations of the military strength and combat effectiveness of some friendly forces they were familiar with, and assisted Chen Wen in completing the entire plan in accordance with Chen Wen's staff operation method.

It wasn't until late at night that Wang Yi, Wang Jiang, Chen Wen, Huang Zhongdao and Mao Mingshan finished the whole plan. After the three generals kept their mouths shut, they left separately.

On the way back to the camp, Chen Wen recalled the conversation with Huang Zhongdao and Mao Mingshan, and their performance in front of civil officials and supervisors like Wang Yi and Wang Jiang.

Huang Zhongdao doesn't talk a lot, but his words must be true, and his behavior is also in line with his experience of reading and writing, and he has the demeanor of a Confucian general, so it is very much in line with Wang Yi's appetite. Mao Mingshan, on the other hand, is purely a muscular general, with rude manners, outspoken speech, and even directly contradicted Wang Yi. Fortunately, Wang Yi didn't care, if it was Yuan Chonghuan, this general, who was somewhat similar to Man Gui, would have already been killed by a dark arrow.

The three highest-ranking generals of the Dalanshan Ming Army had already met two, and the remaining Liu Yiming was said to be more highly rated than these two. However, according to Chen Wen's plan, he would probably not have a chance to meet until the battle, which made him look forward to the big battle with Tian Xiong even more.
