This sentence shocked the military households present. The pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info looked at the courtyard that had been quiet at the time of Dengshi, and Jin Baihu breathed a sigh of relief, but before this breath was even, he was immediately overwhelmed by the problem again. It wasn't until the sky began to get dark that everyone barely dispersed, leaving him alone with smoke in his throat envious of the palm prints of the thousand households, and he only had to explain to them the hundreds of households, which was too relaxing.

The decree had already been issued, and changing the decree would only reduce his prestige, so Chen Wen simply came up with another set of methods, and let those landlords and rich peasants who had military merits choose by themselves. If the pre-order is not followed, it will be canceled after a while, and if it is not inapplicable, then it can be done in parallel. Anyway, no matter how much he tosses, he won't suffer.

As for the output of the military household in his own hands, since Hong Chengchou can play the means of economic blockade, then he can also buy those military food suppliers. Military rations are a matter of great importance, and they must not be controlled by manpower, and with the guarantee of the output of those fields, the dependence on grain merchants will be much smaller.

Silk and silkworm cocoons are one of the bulk commodities in the future maritime trade, and occupy an indispensable position in ancient China's foreign trade. Chen Wen also plans to set up some large-scale silk manufacturing workshops, whether they are commercially run, or government-run, or government-supervised and commercial, and they will have to be considered according to the current situation. Anyway, this thing can't be done just by thinking about it, it always takes some time, so you can think about it slowly.

In the early and middle Ming Dynasty, civil officials did not even have the qualifications to ask about the number of military households and grain production, and they would even be reprimanded by military generals. Although the civil officials completely overwhelmed the military generals later, the Ming Dynasty did not cancel the guard because of this, and assigned it to the management of the prefecture and county.

Now in the land of the Ming Army in Zhejiang, the civil officials are obviously already vassals of Chen Wen, a military general, and the administrative Shangfu County Yamen is in charge of the people's households, and the Weisu is in charge of the military households, which is a tradition, and it is also the ancestral system of Zhu Yuanzhang's formulation of the civil and military affairs. As long as the prices are not wantonly lowered and the economic interests of military households are harmed, no one can say that it is wrong. As for the businessmen outside, if they dare to raise prices, the knife of the Yamen will be sharpened!

Having just returned from the workshop of the Military Industry Department, Chen Wen is generally satisfied with the work there. Xu Yi, a low-level civil official from Dalanshan, is now like a fish in water in this position, whether it is supervising manufacturing or trying to mobilize the enthusiasm of craftsmen, he has done quite well, it is rare that Wang Yi and Wang Jiang trained civil officials can be said to be reasonable in terms of ethics, it is really a treasure.

It's just that every time this baby is given a research and development task, that young and slightly heroic face immediately turns into a bitter gourd face, and this time is no exception.

"How big is Master Hou's plan, and how powerful it is, you have to give the lower officials a general idea so that those craftsmen can figure it out."

As for the new weapon, Chen Wen didn't know what it looked like, anyway, he only knew the name, and knew that it was something that already existed in Europe in this era but could not be popularized. For those who don't know, Chen Wen is ready to be the shopkeeper, why don't you raise these special talents.

"Experimentation is the only criterion for testing truth. Be bold and write down every possibility, maybe it's not useful now, maybe it will be useful later. ”

Xu Yi was pondering the deep meaning of the sentence "Experiment is the only criterion for testing the truth", and then reacted that Chen Wen had already left the workshop of the Military Industry Department, and the expression that he had just had when he was still doing studies immediately turned into a bitter gourd face.

Chen Wen had no possibility of appreciating this scene now, and when he returned to the Hou Mansion, he continued to summon those officers. This afternoon, he only asked Zhou Jingting to arrange two, two officers who needed more comfort.

"Humble to Youming, knock on the handsome!"

"Yun Zhao, it's just you and me here, didn't I say it last time, you don't need to be polite when no one is around."

Yu Youming, the only son of the guerrilla general Yu Shizhong, the former commander of the fortress in Anhua Town. Chen Wen remembered that when he first met, he was still a shy teenager who followed his father, and later he was not outstanding in the youth army. It wasn't until a few months ago, when his father died of illness under Tian Xiong's bacteriological warfare offensive, and the moment the young man personally used a dagger to cut a deep hole in his face at the funeral, and vowed to sacrifice his father with Tian Xiong in the future, that Chen Wen saw another side of the young man.

When he said goodbye, the boy who had been a soldier in his team of young soldiers seemed to have grown up overnight, and he was no longer the innocent boy he was at the beginning.

"Returning to the marshal, the army is respectful and orderly, and the etiquette cannot be abolished!"

"Well, get up."

"I have thanked the marshal."

Yu Shizhong was martyred, although he did not die in battle on the spot, but the retro tactics of the Tartars can no longer be calculated like that. Yu Shizhong was sent by the guerrilla general and the commander of the fortress when he was alive, and his military rank was also Xuanjie's lieutenant, slightly higher than the general of the war battalion. The previous training of artillerymen, the death of this battle, and the credit of holding the fortress under the new tactics, finally decided on the hereditary rank of hereditary lieutenant.

Yu Youming had already studied in the Zhejiang Martial Arts School, and the cavalry department he learned had just completed the schoolwork of the cavalry chief served as the captain of the school, and the newly established cavalry battalion still needed to be supplemented by officers and non-commissioned officers.

"I've seen your results, and they're all very good. Especially martial arts, which have made rapid progress in the past few months, I think it is hard work. ”

"Humble and handsome." After bowing his hand, Yu Youming then replied: "I heard Li Shuai say that Tian Xiong was a dog thief, and his martial arts were also a leader in the Yasukuni Public Army back then. He is still young, practicing martial arts diligently, and there will always be a day when he slaughters this dog thief with his own hands! ”

Really!

Revenge is not shared, hearing this, Chen Wen shook his head. "Since you know that the army is inferior and orderly, you should also know that it is forbidden to do so. If there is an order, capture Tian Xiong alive, what can you do?! ”

Stunned for a moment, Yu Youming hurriedly replied: "You should obey your orders." ”

"If there is an order, let Tian Xiong leave, can you do it?!"

"Humble duty, humble duty should obey orders."

"If there is an order, if you want to protect Tian Xiong thoroughly, can you do it?!"

"Humble duty, humble duty......"

Chen Wen's questions became louder and louder each time, and the questions he asked became more and more harsh each time. It's just that it is not as good as the previous two times, and he can still stumble to answer, this time Yu Youming blushed, but he just replied with tears in his eyes, "I can't do it." ”

"The hatred of killing your father, the hatred of taking your wife, and the revenge are not shared, of course you can't do it. Since Li Ruixin told you this, then you must also know, why does Li Ruixin still remember Tian Xiong's martial arts, right? ”

The young man in front of him nodded heavily, and Chen Wen continued to speak. "Tian Xiong betrayed the Duke of Yasukuni and betrayed the Son of Hongguang, and he also wanted to kill the dog thief with his own hands, but he never suggested to me that he should take Hangzhou directly and kill Tian Xiong. Doesn't he hate? He hates, hates so much that his teeth itch! But he knows which is more important, and this is the difference between a general and a reckless man! ”

"Humble, taught."

"Forbearance is a knife in your heart, you must be strong before you have a chance to avenge your father." Chen Wen sighed. "Go to the Iron Cavalry Camp and report."

"Obey the command, and take the resignation."

The Iron Cavalry Battalion is the number of that cavalry battalion, and it is still being practiced by Li Ruixin, Chen Wen himself has some experience in riding a horse to kill, and he can barely lead the team, but if he wants to train the cavalry battalion and train it into a unit that is not inferior to the cavalry of the Qing army, he still needs more professional and experienced officers. used to be Huang Degong's personal soldier, Li Ruixin, just right.

Yu Youming walked out of Chen Wen's office area in the Hou Mansion, that is, the official office in the outer courtyard, and ran into the chief of staff building. He saluted, replied, accepted some reassurance and left the Hou Mansion, and hurried to Quzhou with the order.

After watching Yu Youming leave, Lou Jiye entered Chen Wen's office. "Dashuai, did you say it?"

"I said, this kid is a piece of jade, but in this world, jade can't be cut, today I will drink him once, and let Li Ruixin polish and polish it later, which can be regarded as living up to Yu Shizhong's dying trust."

"That's what the marshal said."

Smiling and motioning for Lou Jiye to sit down, Chen Wen asked, "How does the mule army see, do you have the confidence to take it well?" ”

In this expansion of the army, the original seven battalions, except for the original guards battalion led by Chen Wen himself, which was changed from the first bureau commander of that battalion to Gao Sheng, and one who was already a captain on Dalan Mountain, who had been the bureau chief of this bureau since the battalion directly under the town, and had always been a high-ranking and low-ranking officer until today's veteran officers officially took up the position of battalion officers, the commanders of the other battalions have not changed in the slightest. Even the defense area remained in the state after the suppression of the four provincial capitals ended.

Of the two newly built war battalions, Chen Wen of the Yushan Battalion plans to use Zhang Zisheng, but this person is literate, but the professionalism of the Zhejiang Ming Army is getting stronger and stronger, and it seems that the schoolwork of the martial arts school will take some time. It's not in a hurry, it's a new camp head anyway, and there's no harm in practicing more.

On the Chun'an camp, it was Huang Jincheng, who succeeded Liu Cheng as the guard general of Dongyang County after Cao Conglong's rebellion, who was old and capable, and it was time to be promoted.

The two newly organized battalions are still training, and even the training of new recruits has not yet been completed. Similarly, the Cavalry Battalion will not be deployed for a year, and the Mule Force and Einsatzpen are slightly better, but they are completely new. Chen Wen of the special task force formulated part of the training plan according to the model of the special forces of later generations, and the rest was studied by the captain Luo Yongzhong himself. As for the mule army, Chen Wen plans to hand it over to Lou Jiye, not only for training, but also for the first battalion officer.

Lou Jiye originally existed as the chief of staff of the Zhejiang Ming Army, and he was also in charge of the staff department. One year after its establishment, the results of this department were not bad, surveying and mapping maps, making sand tables, and making plans based on intelligence and common sense, professionally and systematically far beyond those of the Western aristocratic staff in the Middle Ages and the strategists and staff of ancient China.

It's good, but that's all there is to it for now. It's not that Lou Jiye hasn't worked hard enough, it's just that today's level of science and technology is not up to what Chen Wen wants, and this is why he changed the earliest General Staff Headquarters to the General Staff Division.

Under the leadership of the Chief of the General Staff, the General Staff of later generations carried out the orders and instructions of the Supreme Commander and the Minister of Defense, collected and provided intelligence, drew up and organized the implementation of strategic campaign plans and mobilization plans, and commanded and coordinated the combat operations of various services, theaters of preparation, and various armed organizations.

In detail, military and political management, the transmission of military orders, the setting of establishments, the training of officers and non-commissioned officers, the establishment of military gazetteers, the search for intelligence and the establishment of databases. The peacetime and wartime establishment of the troops, and what kind of training plans and training methods are adopted. Mobilization plans in wartime, the development of resource deployment plans, the allocation of firepower on the battlefield, the deployment of troops......

There are all kinds of things, almost more comprehensive than most of the current divisions of the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion, and it is by no means comparable to the staff of the Zhejiang Ming Army today.

For the time being, it is not possible to reach this level, and in addition to the fact that the system has just been established, the level of science and technology is not up to standard. Just as he once said to Zhou Yueying, the economic foundation determines the superstructure, and science and technology also restrict the development of the system.

Chen Wen remembered that one hundred and forty or fifty years later, in the Napoleonic era, the French staff system was already an indispensable part of the army, and played a great role in the military career of the god of war.

What kind of era was that, cable electricity and radio had not yet been invented, so naturally they didn't want to be used in the military, let alone the Internet and the Internet. On the battlefield, messengers and carrier pigeons are still relied on to transmit orders and information, and the transmission speed has not been substantially improved today.

The basic sciences of the 18th century, which can make an impression on military affairs, are not very advanced for people in the 21st century, and the speed of development of science and technology in the intervening centuries has far exceeded the level of the previous millennium. Even if the science teachers don't bless him, Chen Wen can still think of some relatively basic theories of algebra, geometry, physics and chemistry occasionally, and find some talents in this area to cultivate and cultivate, and continuous experiments will always draw some true knowledge.

Lou Jiye has already laid a solid foundation for this department, China's literacy rate is far higher than that of Europe, and it is easier to train staff officers.

Too high a desire is unrealistic, it can reach half of the staff of the Napoleonic era, or even thirty percent, and even if the Manchu Qing Dynasty is known as the living Fan Wen****, who is possessed by Zhuge Liang's soul, it may not be useful. Not to mention anything else, the huge workload handled by so many staff officers at the same time according to the classification of the scientific system is enough for Zhuge Liang to come to Wuzhangyuan again!

In fact, Lou Jiye also agrees with this decision. Being able to return to his hometown and establish merits that are not inferior to those of his ancestors, Chen Wen is already the commander he has decided to follow for life, since he is asked to take charge of the General Staff Department, he will naturally do his best to manage it well. But deep down, he still longs to be able to lead the troops in battle in person, just like his ancestor Shanglou Nan, to be an upright general, rather than being jokingly called the chief of staff of the strategist leader behind his back.

In a year's time, Chen Wen had already seen his thoughts, but the foundation was not stable, and Lou Jiye needed to continue to exert his efforts, so he was not transferred back to the war camp. Now that the General Staff Division can operate on its own, and the Staff Section of the Martial Arts Academy can also train qualified staff officers, it is the time for him to lead the troops again.

"Back to the big handsome, the last general will take Chu Yun and Chen Lan's two bureaus for a month, and I feel that this mule army has a lot to do!"

Chu Yun was born in Nantang Camp, and Luo Yongzhong's former boss when he was in Nantang Camp; Chen Lan was the one who responded to the call when the Ming army entered Jinhua Mansion and joined the army with his clan, a son of the Chen family of Yiwu Beilei, who was previously the head of the bureau in the Shentang camp. Now they have all been transferred to the Mule Corps as an experimental unit.

On Lou Jiye's side, being able to lead the troops again can be described as high-spirited. In this month, I followed the officers and non-commissioned officers who learned to ride mules and marched in formation, and I also summed up some experience.

"Brother Lou, tell me about the problems you see."

Sitting in a precarious position, Lou Jiye spoke: "First of all, weapons, wolf and spears are really not conducive to marching, and the soldiers ride mules, and they have to carry those guys who are five feet long, which is really inconvenient." ”

Riding a mule and carrying a five-meter-long guy seems a little awkward, even a little funny. Chen Wen nodded, and then continued with Lou Jiye.

"Then there are the chews, saddles and other things that are used by mules, and many of them are used in the camp now for horses, which are somewhat unsuitable, and they have to be changed ......."

Lou Jiye said a lot of things freely, and also said a lot of experience, obviously immersed in it. In addition to the dictation, there was also a note of Chen, and when it was time to talk about the next duty, the sky had begun to darken, and Chen Wen sent him out. It's just that he didn't wait for Chen Wen to return to the inner courtyard, but Zhang Jun, who set off more than half a month ago, had already returned, and hurriedly came to report to Chen Wenyu.

After returning to the inner courtyard and drinking the people near the study, Chen Wencai opened his mouth and asked, "What do you say over there?" ”

"The handsome god calculates, and the humble admiration is to the end. But that's it, it's that person who still wants to see the handsome side first. ”

"Good job." I closed my eyes and pondered for a moment, and then I opened my eyes, but they were full of light. "That's the way it should be!" (To be continued.) )
