Chapter 56: Tandem (2)

"Enlightened Boss, after thinking about it, the villain thinks that there is a great possibility that the combat operation planned by the Chen guerrilla in Dalanshan will be successful."

"What did you say?!" Feng Jingdi took the case, he couldn't have imagined that the military general in front of him, who believed that Chen Wen was the remnant of the eunuch party, would agree with Chen Wen's plan, especially since these two people still had a big contradiction before.

"The old man is angry, there are still many important things in the dynasty that depend on your old man, don't hurt your body for this little thing." As he spoke, Wang Sheng immediately kowtowed, he knew that if he was respectful, he would have a chance to meet the poor dagger.

Sure enough, Feng Jingdi did not beat out the generals who went against his will as usual, but asked with doubts: "Say what you think, if it is nonsense, this official will not spare you." ”

"The villain Xie Boss forgives the sin, the villain is just thinking about it, how secret is the Tatar encirclement and suppression of Siming Mountain, since Wang Jingluo has received a secret report and confirmed the authenticity of the information, then my Siming Mountain Wang Shi is about to face a battle related to life and death."

The villain was fortunate to listen to the boss talk about Chen's guerrilla plan, and while the villain was grateful for the boss's trust, he also felt that as a general, he should tell his thoughts about the battle plan. The villain has followed the boss for so long, although he is still dull, but if he can be beneficial to state affairs, the villain is also willing to share the worries of the boss and the court. ”

Wang Sheng's respectful attitude was recognized by Feng Jingdi, so he continued: "The villain carefully recalled Chen's guerrilla plan several times, first of all, such an important intelligence leak, the Qing army should not know about this matter, otherwise it would have been in an uproar. In addition, Tartar is far less familiar with the terrain and roads of Siming Mountain than Wang Shi, and Wang Shi has a great chance of succeeding. ”

"If you count the ambushes of Liu Yiming, Liu Dashuai and Chen Tianshu and Chen Dashuai, the Tartars who set out from Yuyao are likely to be defeated by Wang Shi. The villain felt that if he could defeat the Tartars, the pressure on the court side would be less. When the imperial court has a firm foothold in Zhoushan, with the assistance of virtuous ministers like the boss, and the people in the imperial court are in the Ying dynasty, then the recovery of Zhejiang by Wang Shi, and even all the lost territories, should not be far away. ”

After hearing this, Feng Jingdi nodded, Wang Yi still understands him, although he is not as righteous as him and Huang Taichong, but he is by no means a treacherous villain, and he can guarantee this with his life. So it must have been the remnants of the eunuch party who deceived Wang Yi, and that guy must have come all the way from Beizhili to praise the military affairs with ulterior motives, so it was not wrong to persuade Wang Yi by himself.

After listening to Wang Sheng's words, Feng Jingdi also felt that he and Wang Yi had been friends for many years, and no matter whether they agreed with each other's opinions or not, they couldn't spoil state affairs because of this. As long as the elite of the Tartars is defeated, the local green battalion is not the opponent of the Ming army of Dalanshan at all, and at that time, it will definitely be like this, as the military general in front of him said, to recover Zhejiang, and even all the lost territory.

It's just that what about the remnants of the eunuch party? Is it permissible for him to continue to deceive Wang Yi, or even to deceive His Highness in the future, so that he will ruin state affairs?

"The villain thinks that there should be no problem with this plan, and the boss's idea of preventing the eunuchs from messing up the government is also very correct, if it weren't for Wei Wei and those eunuchs, how could the affairs of the national dynasty fall to this?"

"Therefore, the villain has a thought, if this war does not allow the remnants of the eunuch party to lead the troops to participate in the war, then he will not have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, as long as he can't reach the heavens in a short period of time, with the advice of the boss, Wang Jingluo will sooner or later realize the danger of this person. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to be able to defeat the Tartars and prevent the eunuchs from causing trouble to the government again? ”

Looking at Wang Sheng, who was still lying on the ground, Feng Jingdi immediately understood the intention of the military general in front of him.

A warrior is a warrior, no matter how rhetoric is, it's not full of power and profit? If we want to succeed in the affairs of this dynasty, we still have to wait for the ability of these civil officials from Donglin.

Putting aside his contempt for military generals, Feng Jingdi also realized the benefits of this proposal, after all, compared with a military general who wants to steal merit, it is more harmful to the remnants of the eunuch party.

"But the remnant of the eunuch surnamed Chen is not my Xue Ao's general, and Wang Jingluo still values him very much at this time."

Wang Sheng immediately understood what Feng Jingdi meant, and saw that he had been persuaded by himself, and the time had come for Tu Qi to see the dagger.

"The villain feels that the Tartars have a strong army this time, even if Chen Tianshu and Chen Dashuai are added, the military strength that Wang Jinglue's side can gather is definitely not enough. If the boss can send troops to help and persuade the various kings and divisions near Siming Mountain to join the war, then presumably Wang Jingliu will also be good. ”

Wang Sheng's proposal made Feng Jingdi's eyes shine, he couldn't know more about the various rebels near the Siming Mountain, the enterprising spirit was rare, and the self-defense was everywhere. And what the self-guards are most afraid of is nothing more than the appearance of a force far superior to them around them, so that their earth emperor will not be able to do it.

Although Wang Yi's original power was very strong, it was still worse than the other rebel armies in Siming Mountain, but if there was one more Chen Wen and that Nantang battalion, the balance would probably be tilted, which would inevitably cause unease among the surrounding forces, which was not conducive to the imperial court's rule over this place. If Chen Wen is not allowed to participate in the war, and other people are brought out to benefit equally, it can not only prevent the eunuch party from messing up the government, but also unite all ministries, so why not do it.

Although there are some things to do in this matter, there is no time to make a living for the country.

After deciding to implement this plan, Feng Jingdi said to Wang Sheng: "The Tartar invasion is imminent, and this official should worry about the court and Wang Jing. The official then drafted a letter, and you first delivered the letter from the official to Wang Jinglue, and then went to the battalions to urge them to send troops in response. State affairs are as urgent as sparks, can Wang Guerrilla be confident? ”

"The villain will live up to the trust of the boss!"

Reward and punishment, reward and punishment, Feng Jingdi immediately threw out the reward of advice.

"This official hereby appoints Wang Guerrilla as a general, if he can make new contributions on the battlefield in the future, the general army and the deputy general will never be stingy."

"The villain thanks the boss for the reward, and the villain fixes his liver and brain to repay the boss." As he spoke, Wang Sheng, who was grateful, immediately bowed again, and his head hit the ground like a wooden fish.

After getting Feng Jingdi's letter, Wang Sheng set off for Dalan Mountain with a group of cronies, but one of them was the closest to the same village and the most reassuring to Wang Sheng, who received another task, and parted ways with this group of people after leaving Xue Ao Dazhai.

………………

Early the next morning, Chen Wen took more than a dozen officers and soldiers of the Nantang Battalion down the mountain to recruit troops, and the place of recruitment was still the town below the mountain.

After a whole day of screening yesterday, Chen Wen accepted a total of more than 100 men who were interested in serving the Nantang camp. It's just that even if you add these 100 people, it is still far from the goal of 1,000 soldiers, officers and others set by Wang Yi.

Therefore, Chen Wen dispatched a group of articulate officers and soldiers to several towns and villages near Dalan Mountain this morning to convey the recruitment order, while he himself took a group of people to the nearest town to personally recruit troops. It's just that there is a new face among the soldiers of the Nantang Battalion who are supporting the scene, and he is the wife and brother of Hu Er, the little official who served by Wang Yi's side.

Hu Er's brother-in-law is called Zhang Jun, and the young man is a little handsome, but after thinking that Liu Yiming should actually be called Liu Guangshi, and Yiming is just his cousin, Chen Wen still feels weird. One Liu Guangshi, one Zhang Jun, fortunately, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong are too famous, and it is basically impossible to have the same name, otherwise the four famous generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty would have gathered together in Nanming, which is really a strange event that gives people goosebumps.

Thanks to having a brother-in-law who knows words and is afraid of guilt, Zhang Jun is young and enlightened, although he has no problem knowing words like Sun Yu's younger brother, and the level of writing eight shares is still different, but his memory is very good according to his brother-in-law, and there has never been a mistake in explaining the things and asking to convey. It's just that Chen Wen didn't know that this kid was still following his brother-in-law's order to relay Chen Wen's ancient jokes a month ago, and he did it very well.

Originally, according to his sister's intentions, he was going to be sent to follow Hu Er to be a small official in the old camp, but this kid has just tied his hair this year, although a fifteen-year-old child can already be a father in the Ming Dynasty, but Hu Er really doesn't dare to take him to the big dye vat in the old camp, in case he learns badly, the mother worm at home will eat people.

After Chen Wen's Nantang battalion easily defeated the middle camp in the big school field, not only Wang Yi and Wang Jiang attached great importance to it, but most of the officials and generals of the old camp were also quite in awe, and even the Fang garrison of the middle battalion that he defeated also respected Chen Wen, especially after the celebration banquet, and the entire old camp was full of contempt and hatred for Chen Wen first, but this had been selectively ignored by Hu Er.

Hu Er, who usually made a cameo to inquire about the bag, glanced at it and saw the clue, Chen Wenzhi's rigor was really sensational, and he also heard Wang Yi say that if an army has strict military discipline, then the possibility of losing the battle will be much smaller than that of other armies.

Hu Er thought about it, although it is indispensable to enter the camp and endure hardships, but with such a general, it is not enough to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble at a young age. Based on this consideration, he dared to probe his wife's tone, but who knew that his wife immediately made a decision to let him operate the matter.

As for the reason, it is very simple, Zhang Junzu is also from a military household, his sister feels that since Qi Jiguang's ancestor is a military household, Qi Jiguang can become a famous general, and the ancestor of General Chen in front of him is also a military household, and he also hopes to become a famous general in the future. So who knows if their old Zhang family ancestor will smoke and let her younger brother, who has always been smart and clever, also follow the history and become a famous general.

It's just that even under the orders of the king who sells the famous general as cabbage in the family, Hu Er, who is a little minion, still didn't dare to ask Chen Wen to ask his wife and brother for an official, because he knew that Chen Wen's character who even dared to beat Chu Suxian in public would definitely not agree, so he only said that he would let Zhang Jun be Chen Wen's follower. And Chen Wen agreed to see that this kid was literate, and arranged to be a personal soldier by his side.

Although he has a sister who talks at home, Zhang Jun, this kid, obviously hasn't learned that domineering. At this moment, he was like his brother-in-law in front of his sister, walking in front of the white horse, leading the horse for Chen Wen to fall. In his words, before he came, his brother-in-law said that the soldiers were to be good pawns for the general.

Soon, the group came to the town below the mountain, the town was still a month ago, and it was also the City God's Temple a month ago, and Chen Wen once again posted the new recruitment list in the place where the list was posted. Only this time he didn't spend any more money to have the fortune teller read out the list, but handed over this glorious task to the newly promoted and only personal soldier Zhang Jun to complete. In this regard, the fortune teller also swept Chen Wen, Zhang Jun and others a few times with a complaining look, and seemed to be quite dissatisfied.

Unlike last time, Chen Wen used child labor that did not cost money to read the list text, and at the same time, he also set up a large cauldron, and inside was a pot of porridge that was so thick that he could not pour into the chopsticks. When a soldier eats food, just talking about it is certainly not as convincing as eating actually food.

Sure enough, as soon as this pot of porridge boiled out of the fragrance, the onlookers who were still afraid of Chen Wen's Shanwen armor and the soldiers of the Nantang Battalion who supported the scene all came over, and even those who were just passing by came to see the excitement as long as there was no urgency. Outside the City God Temple, there was soon a sea of people.

Because the Ming army of Dalanshan has defeated the Qing army several times since the incident, and Wang Yi is the nominal commander of the Ming army in the area of Siming Mountain, the defense area of Dalanshan is still relatively peaceful. It is precisely for this reason that the people in the areas occupied by the Qing army have also begun to gradually gather here in order to avoid the oppression of the rebels, and there have been many more people in the towns and villages of the entire Dalan Mountain Defense Area in the past two years.

Because the land here is far less than the area occupied by the Qing army, and even relatively barren, but they have to raise a large army to protect the safety of this place and try to recover more lost land, the Ming army in Dalanshan can only guarantee that they will not plunder the people, and they are unable to provide relief.

Therefore, many of those new to this place, or those who are already poor, are still struggling to survive, and it is not uncommon for them to sell their sons and daughters and slaves. However, at this time, it was a troubled time, and the government did not dare to hope for relief, and many people in this place were still able to support themselves and their families with their strength and craftsmanship, but if they were in other places, they were afraid that this was often just a luxury.

In front of the City God Temple, the onlookers gathered more and more, and the people in the middle of it soon couldn't move, and the Nantang Battalion came from now on a whole team of mandarin duck killers, and the soldiers struggled to maintain order under the leadership of the captain, and soon the scene was quiet.

Where the list was posted, Zhang Jun read Chen Wen's recruitment list aloud, and saw that this kid quickly adapted to Chen Wen's way of breaking sentences with punctuation, and it seemed that his brother-in-law didn't blow it too much.

In Chen Wen's recruitment list this time, there is still no mention of the requirements for recruited soldiers, but only mentions that elders with skills are preferred. His so-called skills are actually a lot, such as martial arts, accurate archery, firearms, and firearms blades. It's just that he also knows that the others are okay to say, the last item is basically impossible, after all, weapon craftsmen are technical talents, although the civil officials of both the Ming and Qing dynasties look down on the profession of craftsmen, but talents are talents, and they will not let go if they can meet them.

The onlookers quietly listened to Chen Wen's recruitment list, and as Zhang Jun finished reading the list, some people who were not interested turned around and left, while more people poured in.

In the past few days, Chen Wen's reputation for loving soldiers like a son, his strict management of the army, and the story of "Chen Wen's torture" soon spread all over the left side of Dalan Mountain with the strange news of his beating of his colleagues, and even began to continue to spread to other Ming army garrisons.

When they heard that the general wearing Shanwen armor sitting next to him was Chen Wen, many people were moved, especially after learning that even soldiers could have a monthly salary of one or two or five yuan and a fixed amount, and that there were more people who were interested in joining the army. You must know that even if it was the end of the Ming Dynasty when the price of silver was depreciating at this time, and it was located in the south of the Yangtze River, such a military salary was barely enough to feed the family, after all, eating, drinking, and wearing Chen Wen had already guaranteed that it was all borne by the battalion.

When the first man who asked to join the army shouted, for a while, the gossiping self-recommendation voice made the chaos in front of the City God's Temple like a vegetable market, but the long knives and white blades of the soldiers brought by Chen Wen did not dare to rush too far, but there was no way to select other candidates in this mess.
