On the fourth day of October, a whole September passed like this, and even the first half of October passed inexplicably for a few days, Shaoxing and Ningbo never came to the news of the Qing army's mobilization, Yuyao is still that Yuyao, Fenghua is still that Fenghua, as if the Qing army has forgotten the matter of encirclement and suppression.

It turns out that amnesia is also contagious, but I don't know if this disease has also spread to Huang Zongxi, so that how could the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army in September, which is commonly recorded in the books of the Eastern Zhejiang Historical School, go wrong? It would not be that Huang Zongxi had already started to use the AD method at that time.

For more than a month, Chen Wen has been training his troops, the training of the Mandarin Duck Array Killer Team and the Firearms Team is the same, and the cavalry team was taken down the mountain by Li Ruixin to run horses. In Li Ruixin's words, cavalry cannot be trained if they do not run, and even if they do not run horses, understanding the terrain is also a necessary quality for scouts. In this regard, Chen Wen expressed his approval with the mentality of "Lao Tzu doesn't understand anyway", who let him be born in the era when the world was no longer popular with "horse" cavalry.

In addition to these three things, the engineer team of the Nantang battalion is also stepping up training. It's just that their training location is not in the old camp, because Chen Wen is really embarrassed to let them dig the land that has been easily leveled in the old camp of Dalanshan in the past two years.

As a result, the woods, roads, and open spaces on the entire Dalan Mountain became their paradise. However, in addition to digging pits, Chen Wen's requirements for them are very clear, that is, to have professional ethics in doing business, so digging pits must be filled.

At this moment, it was dinner time, and the soldiers in the battalion had also finished today's training and returned to the barracks to wipe their faces and wash their hands and prepare for dinner. Although for many people, they are ready to go to training after dinner, but they also have to have dinner, you must know that General Chen of the camp said, "People are iron, food is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic", which simply said to the hearts of the battalion soldiers who train hard every day.

Due to the increase in the number of soldiers and the fact that the newly built training facilities occupied too much space, the west school field was already a little insufficient, so Wang Yi handed over part of the west side of the school field to the Nantang battalion for use.

It was only in this way that the two garrison subordinates of the Nantang Battalion and the Middle Battalion began to train in a school field, with the head of the new battalion in full swing on one side and the old battalion head in the war on the other. At this time, Chen Wen took the two outposts who had returned from training at the university field back to the camp for dinner.

Passing by the execution area between the West School Yard and the barracks area, Chen Wen once again saw a familiar face, not that this person would report to the execution area every day, but the reason for the execution of this guy was similar every time.

"What did Shi Da Niu do wrong this time?"

Shi Da Niu was the first person selected by Chen Wen when he recruited soldiers at the Chenghuang Temple in the town below the mountain a month ago, and he was the man who ran to find his brother without even caring about drinking porridge.

Hearing that it was Chen Wen questioning, the Zhenfu soldier in charge of the execution immediately turned around and replied: "General Hui, this soldier broke out of the queue during the training period, ran to help his younger brother treat his injuries, and was whipped thirty in accordance with the training regulations. ”

Sure enough, it's the same old thing again.

Shi Da Niu's younger brother is called Shi Erniu, and he is definitely a brother from the name, which is dozens of times more than Wu Sangui's eldest uncle and Wang Jiang's eldest uncle. Shi Daniu and his younger brother are both honest people, and their fathers are filial to their sons, and their brothers and brothers are respectful, which is very in line with the concept of a harmonious society that Confucianism wants to create.

This was originally a good thing, but when these two people were assigned their duties, because they were too timid and too tendonous, they had to serve as firefighters, and there was only one firefighter in a team, so they had to be divided into different teams. As a result, the friendly elder brother often ran to help the stupid and somewhat deferential younger brother, and often even left the queue during training, and such unauthorized departure was a great taboo in the army.

Chen Wen knew that many people in this team had opinions about this soldier being arranged in the Fourth Killer Team of the First Outpost. It's just that Gu Shouli, who was in charge of the distribution, was assigned to be a firefighter at the first outpost out of consideration for this person's hardships and hard work, but who would have thought that such a talent would come out. Since Shi Daniu entered the camp, the reasons for punishment have been the same, and even An Youfu, who is still firmly at the top of the three major rankings of punishments, crimes, times, and number of whipping sticks in Nantang Camp, can't stand it, in his words, this person is purely remembering to eat and beating, and every time he is punished for one reason, it is too boring.

Seeing that Shi Daniu was punished, Chen Wen really couldn't complain about this man who conformed to traditional morality but did not conform to the spirit of the army.

"Shi Da Niu!"

"Small, small, villain, no, it's not right!" It's been more than a month since I entered the camp, and I still have that look full of fear.

Chen Wen shook his head, he was very aware of this man's family conditions, and he also knew that he was a hard-working person caused by this troubled era, he originally had a house and land, and a happy life, but he had nothing in the past few years under the exploitation of corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the Manchu Dynasty, so he would come here to endure the days of hunger and hunger. If he expelled him from the army, the whole family that had been able to eat enough and accumulate some savings by relying on two strong men in the army might starve again.

"Ben will ask you, if on the battlefield, your brother Shi Erniu and the robes in your team are injured, who will you save first? Remember, if you save this, you can't save that. ”

"This?"

This question similar to your daughter-in-law and your wife falling into the river together immediately stumped this tenacious man, on one side is his own brother, and on the other side is the robe that eats, lives and trains together, especially in the case that Chen Wen is still creating a team atmosphere these days, Shi Da Niu really can't think of how to answer.

Seeing that he blushed and didn't hold back the answer, Chen Wen had to tell him the answer.

"From today on, you have made it clear to the general that there are only two kinds of relationships in the army, from top to bottom is class, and martial artists take obedience to orders as their duty, so subordinates must obey the orders of their superiors; The horizontal is the robe, starting from the army, to the team, to the whistle, until to the entire Wang Shi, as long as you sleep in one room, eat in a pot, and are in the same number or camp, it is the robe. As for those brothers, godbrothers and whatnot, they don't exist in the army! ”

"If your brother and the robe in the team are injured on the battlefield at the same time, what you need to do is to rescue the robe in the team, and your brother will naturally have the robe in his team to help, if you only care about saving your brother, then what will happen to the robe in your team? If everyone is like this, then will this army still need to fight? ”

"In our army, everyone can win only by doing their duty, just like saving cards with a spear, a wolf with a spear, and a spear with palladium."

Seeing that this man still seemed to be a little ignorant, Chen Wen immediately added a ruthless sentence. "Giving up your robe on the battlefield is a deserter, and deserters will be executed, do you remember?!"

"The lowly duty is written."

Chen Wen sighed, if a little saliva could be wasted to keep the hard-won hope of a hard-working family, he didn't care much about saying a few more words.

After instructing Shi Daniu's captain to re-ask him about the question he had just asked when he got up every morning, Chen Wen was ready to go back to the camp for dinner, but at this time, Hu Er suddenly rushed to the west school field, and before he could breathe, he conveyed Wang Yi's summons.

Chen Wen knew very well that as early as the end of August, when he was still recruiting troops, the Ming army that went south to Xinchang had already captured Hushansuo, and due to the departure of Liu Yiming and Chen Tianshu, Yu Guowang simply besieged the county seat of Xinchang to facilitate his auxiliaries to collect grain and grass within the scope of Xinchang County.

The situation in eastern Zhejiang has hardly changed much in history, so at this moment, Wang Yi is in a hurry to have a meeting without even letting him eat dinner, it seems that the Qing army in Zhejiang finally remembered that there is still a combat mission to be completed this year.

In view of the memory of the commanders of the Qing army in Zhejiang, which is almost dementia, Chen Wen had to put aside the matter of eating dinner first.

Hurriedly followed Hu Er to the hall of the Chinese army, at least he had to figure out what was going on.

An hour ago, in the second hall of the Chinese army hall in the old camp of Dalanshan, Wang Yi looked at the dozen letters in front of him and was full of anger, but Wang Jiang, who was sitting at the bottom, just sighed vigorously.

"In just one month, it will develop to such a point, and there must be someone behind this who is deliberately pushing for this."

"Wanxun." Wang Jiang hesitated for a moment, but still said what he thought in his heart. "No matter who is contributing to this, we must first put national affairs first, and we must not act on our own will. And ......"

"And what?"

"And we don't have a choice."

Hearing this, Wang Yi had to sigh. "There's really no choice."

Seeing that his Chinese partner was still resentful, Wang Jiang had no choice but to continue to persuade him: "Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, this is a truth that has existed since ancient times, and it is better for me to make compensation in the future." ”

"So be it." Saying this, Wang Yi also walked out of his hesitation in an instant, and regained his former firmness.

………………

By the time Chen Wen arrived at the hall of the Chinese army, the relevant officials of the old camp in Dalanshan had already arrived. Chen Wen immediately sat down in his seat after saluting, and the first was Shen Tiaolun and Zou Xiaonan, the civilian officials of the supervising army, and Huang Zhongdao and Mao Mingshan, the generals leading the troops, while on the opposite side were Chu Jiuru, Sun Yu and several other officials in charge of the Fifth Logistics Division.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Wang Yi ordered Hu Er to guard the gate strictly, and then said: "There has been news from Yuyao, the Zhejiang Admiral Biao Battalion of the Tartars has begun to assemble in Yuyao, and it is estimated that it has almost been assembled at this time. ”

The Qing army was half a month to a month late, which made the Dalanshan Ming army, which had already received the news earlier, very uncomfortable, and even some officials who knew the inside story, including Chu Jiuru, were quite suspicious of Chen Wen's intelligence sources, but Wang Yi and Wang Jiang had always suppressed this idea so that it did not cause greater doubts.

From today's point of view, this skepticism is obviously unreasonable, after all, due to the backwardness of communication technology in this era, many plans are vague. This time, the Qing army overslept and was half a month late, which is not an abnormal thing, after all, people also need time to freshen up and dress up before going to the appointment.

Chen Wen was very aware of the anxiety of the people in the whole Dalanshan this month, but he clearly remembered that the Qing army attacked in September, and this year the Qing army definitely had the reason and necessity to attack, this was not the decision of Dalanshan, but Zhoushan, after all, the threat of Lu Jianguo to the Manchu rule in Zhejiang was not ordinarily great.

Although he didn't know why the Qing army had not dispatched until now, Chen Wen couldn't do anything, because he didn't know whether his wings were fanning too hard or whether Huang Zongxi had written it wrong. Now that the assembly has begun, the troops have to come to cover the water.

"This official has decided to assemble all the divisions of the King Division of Siming Mountain, including my Dalan Mountain, and attack the Tartars on the Yuyao side first according to the plan previously formulated by Chen's guerrilla, and after defeating them, they will then meet the Tartars from Fenghua."

After setting the tone for the meeting, Wang Yi immediately assigned tasks. "Master Chu."

"The lower official is here!"

"Thou shalt immediately set out and contact the departments that have been agreed upon before, and go to the appointed place to assemble, and there shall be no mistake."

The established assembly site of the Ming army on the northern front is in Liangnong Town, which is located at the northern foot of Siming Mountain and north of Dalan Mountain, which is a thousand-year-old town.

Liang Lane Town is said to have been originally a settlement of Liang and Feng, so it was called Liang Feng Town. Later, due to the frequent wars in the north, many surnames moved south, and in the later Tang Dynasty, it was "crowded and gathered, and it was also a huge town", because there were many alleys in the streets, so the homonym was taken as Liang Lane. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Liang Lane Town was the leading center of the anti-Japanese base area in eastern Zhejiang, including the party committee, the headquarters, and the public office, and other leading organs were located here, known as "Little Yan'an in Eastern Zhejiang".

The reason why Chen Wen chose this place as the assembly point was very simple, because with the scale of the Qing army, if he wanted to attack Dalan Mountain from Yuyao, it was best to start from Yuyao along the general direction of the Songliang Line-Huxi Line Highway that crossed Siming Mountain in later generations, passing through Yonghe Town, Siming Lake, Liangnong Town, and finally reaching Dalan Mountain.

Even if the Qing army chooses to go far away, not to take the Siming Lake area, and to bypass from the south of Fengming Mountain, the Ming army can also rely on the advantage of being closer to the division to rush back to the aid of Dalan Mountain, and the Qing army cannot be faster than the Ming army. Once entering the Simingshan area, the Qing army must always be on guard against the attacks of the Ming army, because the entire Simingshan area is occupied by various types of Ming troops, and the Qing army does not have any mass base here.

In this case, as long as the assembly in Liangnong Town is completed, the Ming army can advance and retreat.

"The subordinate obeys."

Seeing that Chu Jiuru had already responded with a bang, Wang Yi immediately pointed to the second official.

"Master Sun."

"The lower official is here!"

"The existing grain and grass in the warehouse of Liang Lane Town is enough for the army to spend a month?"

"Looking back at the scriptures, I just went here with the last batch of grain and grass transferred to Liangnong Town ten days ago to inspect it, and it is enough to spend."

"Very good, Master Sun, grain and grass are the foundation of the army, and the grain and grass stored in Dalan Mountain must be ready to be shipped at any time, whether it is the northern line or the southern line."

The intended assembly site of the southern front was in Simingshan Town, but the grain and grass would not be transported too early, because according to the plan, the Ming army on the southern front needed to try to delay the march speed of the Qing army starting from Fenghua, although Chen Wen explained to Mao Mingshan a lot of theories of guerrilla warfare in later generations, but Chen Wen did not know how long it could be delayed, and even Mao Mingshan and Wu Kuiming, the largest Ming army west of Fenghua, did not know.

"The subordinate obeys."

There is a way that the three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, Wang Yi pointed out the departments and officials involved in the old camp one by one, and after ensuring the logistics, he began to mobilize the army.

"Huang Dudu."

"The last general!"

"Early tomorrow morning, you will return to Lianglong Town, cross Yonghe Town, and send scouts to Yuyao to try to find out the movements of the Tartars."

The front battalion of Huang Zhongdao was responsible for the defense of the northern part of Dalan Mountain, and one of the garrisons was stationed in Lianglong Town, so Huang Zhongdao must have been in charge of the early stage of the northern front.

"The last will obey."

"Mao Dudu."

"The last general!"

"Early tomorrow morning, you will return to the defense area and carry out that guerrilla operation according to the established plan of Chen's guerrilla, and at the same time inform Wu Shuai that he is ready to send troops at any time."

After Wang Yi said this, many people present felt a little awkward, can't you be a guerrilla general, your tactics are called "guerrilla warfare", if you are promoted to a general, then this tactics should also be changed to "participating in the war"? It's inexplicable.

"The last will obey."

"Director Shen, Director Zou."

"The lower official is here."

"Tomorrow morning, the two of you will start mobilizing the four garrisons of the middle battalion, and set off for Lianglong Town the morning after tomorrow."

Hearing this, whether it was Chen Wen or other officials, it was quite strange, even if Wang Yi planned to do his best, he would not transfer all the four garrisons of the middle battalion to the front line, could it be that the old battalion was counting on those servants and temporarily recruited people to be responsible for guarding the defense?

"The subordinate obeys."

The officials of the Ming army of Dalanshan who attended the meeting were left with only Wang Jiang and Chen Wen who did not assign tasks, and Wang Jiang did not need to say much, he was in charge of the fundamental place of the old camp, which was also the habit of Wang Yi and Wang Jiang all along, such as Wang Yi's second capture of Shangyu County and the southward relief of Wu Kuiming's siege, as well as the previous trips to Lujian during the Hajj.

Then, the rest is just Chen Wen.

"Guerrilla General Chen Wen." Wang Yi took a deep breath and said the rest of the words. "The guerrilla general Chen Wen led the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to assist the imperial envoy of the deputy capital of Wang to guard the old camp of Dalanshan, and all military affairs around the old camp are fully responsible for you!"

“……”

There was a deathly silence, except for Wang Yi, the issuer of the order, and Wang Jiang, who participated in the formulation of the order, everyone watched all this with wide eyes.

Everyone here knows very well that this information was brought by Chen Wen, and the battle plan was also led by Chen Wen, and even for this battle, Chen Wen also took great pains to train a battalion with good combat effectiveness, why did Wang Yi order Chen Wen to guard the old camp at the moment of the final decisive battle?

This question flashed through the minds of everyone present in an instant, and at the same time, their eyes flashed, from looking at Wang Yi in disbelief, to trying to find the answer from Chen Wen's face, but they only got a face that was more surprised than they were.

"The last general is not convinced!"
