"Dad, a medal is a kind of honor, and when you go out with it, you must be able to arouse the admiration or fear of passers-by." Chen Ming was holding a gold medal of valor, he had prepared twenty of them, but this time he didn't send out a single one.

"We are not an official government, and our rights have not stabilized, so the medal cannot take a purely spiritual route, and must be equated with benefits and privileges. Just like in the past, Xiucai could not kneel in court, and he could not be beaten by the county master, so we regard the medal as a show talent to a certain extent, and regard it as a fame. In addition to monetary and material rewards, soldiers with medals can enjoy some privileges, as long as the role of this thing is fully exerted. It immediately has a strong attraction to soldiers. “

At the beginning, Chen Ming persuaded Chen Hui in this way, and the general of the Fu Han Dynasty, who did not have much respect for Master Confucius, easily accepted Chen Ming's suggestion, and the medal was fame, which made Chen Hui very interested.

Of course, in Chen Ming's view, the biggest role of the medal is that spending a little money can make soldiers get great satisfaction, get spiritual rewards, and then be more loyal to give everything they have, including giving their lives without regrets. In essence, compared to the grand prize certificate and red book in the 21st century, or the small red flower made of kindergarten paper, Chen Jiajun did not have such a strong strength to fiddle with such a low and clumsy level of fooling, so he was also very kind to add a piece of cheese to the spiritual reward - military merit field and silver, so that the appearance of the medal looked even better. But in reality, there is no real change.

Moreover, because there are not many people who have won the medal of the third class or above, the medal immediately exceeds the value of the cheese itself, and Chen Ming's eyes can clearly see the pride, pride and pride in the eyes of Wei Baocheng, Chen Jincai and others.

The grand and grand award ceremony and the high-level guests added a dazzling halo to the medal. This may have been fun and curious in the eyes of the majority of soldiers and officials, but at least in the eyes of the winner himself, it has taken on extraordinary significance. Its importance is completely rising rapidly with the holding of award ceremonies again and again, and with the diffusion of influence in Xiangxian, Yiyang, Yuncheng and Nanyang!

……

This time the medal was awarded, Chen Ming wanted to go through Xiangxian, Yuncheng and Yiyang in the north, and his cheap father Chen Hui rushed to Nanyang Mansion to express his condolences to all the soldiers of the Chen family army on the front line in Nanyang one by one.

The father and son did their best to inspire the fighting spirit and morale of the soldiers of the Chen family, and stabilize and motivate the military spirit of the Chen family.

Because this time the Chen army will face the siege of soldiers and horses from the four provinces in the future, it can be said that this is a turning point for the Chen army, and the enemies of the Chen army are not limited to the surrounding areas of Ruzhou or Henan, but from all over the country.

When July comes, Chen Ming will gather Chen Jiajun's 'fist', and then smash it in any direction of north, east, and south.

……

"What's there to discuss about this thing? Just that sentence, let him come a few ways, I will only go all the way. “

"At the beginning, the Manchu Sarhu defeated Zhu Ming's method of conquering the army, and we are not lagging behind. Yiyang, Ruyang, Xiangxian, Yuncheng, Nanyang, let's all turn to defense. The troops can hold the city, and if the Qing soldiers dare to go around the city, the troops defending the city from all over the country don't have to care, and I will lead the main force to take care of them. “

The entire Chen family army could not find a person who really had military talent and rich war experience, and in the face of the Qing army's encirclement and suppression of troops and horses in four provinces and multiple routes, Chen Ming could only come up with one if he wanted to break his brain: Let him come a few ways, I will only go all the way.

The Chen family army is not a red army, and Ruzhou is not a red base in the original time and space, so Chen Ming does not dare to let them stride in. Then he can only defend on all sides, and he himself will lead a main force, and defeat the Qing soldiers all the way and collapse them one by one.

The faces of the core figures of the group of Chen Jiajun in the political hall of the General's Mansion are not good-looking, no matter how insufficient their military literacy is, they can also hear that Chen Ming's method is not a method at all, this is completely hard fighting, it is hard against hard.

Chen Ming scoffed at their thoughts, how could there be any real ingenious tricks in this world? The basis of victory in the war is based on one's own true strength. Clever calculations, no last resort, can easily break and defeat ten times dozens of times the strength of their own troops, that is all nonsense, all fiction.

Chen Ming also knew that his way of dealing with it was very low-level, but he was of such a high level, and he couldn't think of a more ingenious way to deal with it if you killed him. And the most important thing is that in Chen Ming's eyes, the foundation of the Chen family army and the general's mansion is still too weak and weak, and they can't withstand the baptism of wind and waves. If Chen Jiajun and the General's Mansion want to win the trust of the people under their rule as soon as possible, you must protect their interests as much as possible and not let them be baptized by the rebellion. Therefore, Chen Ming did not want to and did not dare to let go of the avenue and let thousands of Qing soldiers enter Ruzhou, and Chen Jiajun did not have the capital to gamble on the discipline of the Qing soldiers.

The so-called cleverness also depends on whether you can be clever. In terms of the current situation of the Chen Jiajun, if he didn't want the morale of the army to suddenly plummet, or even chaos in the army, he divided one part of the army into four sides to defend and concentrated the other part of the army to break through each one.

During the period when the Chen family army controlled Ruzhou, the northern part of Nanyang and the southern part of Xuzhou, cement and iron bars were continuously transported from Lushan to Yuncheng, Xiangxian, Yiyang, Fangcheng and other front-line positions, and the Chen family firmly repaired and strengthened all the cities under their rule.

Outside the city, prisoners of war were also driven to dig trenches, build pillboxes, install cannons, and form three-dimensional defensive positions.

The basis for Chen Ming's current unqualified strategic arrangement was that he believed that the position of the Chen Jiajun could withstand ten or twenty times the Qing troops with a small number of troops.

In Yiyang, Ruzhou, Xiangxian, Yuncheng and other places, Chen Ming's plan was to place a full battalion, plus one or two garrisons, independent teams or something, he felt that six or seven hundred people were enough to make tens of thousands of Qing soldiers have nothing to do under the city. Then wait until he leads the main force to come and break the Qing army one by one.

The sulfur and saltpeter that were 'seized' in Zhoujiakou before were enough to make Chen Jiajun's gunpowder reserves reach an unprecedented height, and when Chen Jiajun attacked everywhere and looted sulfur and saltpeter from county to county, Chen Jiajun's gunpowder reserves were even more abundant. This is another reason why Chen Ming is confident.

Finally, Chen Jiajun has made a little bit of competition and progress in the talents, talents and craftsmanship of firearms manufacturing in the past six months, which has made Chen Jiajun's gun production always increase steadily. In order to keep this aspect secret, Chen Jiajun deliberately gathered deaf-mutes from all over the country to come in, these deaf-mutes are a little inconvenient to communicate with normal people, but in terms of work and work, their spirit is more responsible and high-spirited than ordinary normal people.

In the society of the middle of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, these people were synonymous with waste and a burden to the family. Now that they have earned money and food for the first time with their own hands, that kind of spiritual fulfillment and satisfaction is what these deaf and mute people need most.
