In this era, Chen Wen has always tried his best to eliminate feudalism in the army, because he knows very well that if the same feudal army is confronted, it is impossible for him, a small business and otaku who was not a professional soldier in the past, to defeat those veteran generals who have been in battle for a long time in such a situation of disparity between enemies and enemies, let alone others.

However, in this era, feudalism itself is the general environment, and his efforts are just a traveler staggering through the storm, but any mistake may be the end of a catastrophe.

After closing his eyes and thinking for a long time, Chen Wen summoned Chen Fugui, who succeeded Zhang Jun who had left Fujian after the counterinsurgency and was promoted to the captain of the pro-army, and bluntly asked this muscular rough man like a humanoid steamroller: "I remember that you joined the army in Dalanshan because you wanted to be a wife and a son, but this is the case?" ”

Hearing this, although Chen Fugui didn't know why Chen Wen had such a question, he didn't think much about it, and then he smirked and agreed with Chen Wen's memory.

"You go down first."

Looking at Chen Fugui's back, Chen Wen knew very well that the current development momentum of the Ming Army in Zhejiang was very strong, and it was no longer the precarious state it was at the beginning. There is a way to be full of food and think about ****, although it is not **** to seal the wife and shade, but when you see hope, you will naturally be eager for a better future, and the hereditary military position is an example.

Rich rewards for military merits, whether it is silver or military merits, are all ways for Chen Wen to improve the treatment of soldiers and soldiers, so as to achieve the fundamental purpose of improving combat effectiveness. But the hereditary military position, this is the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, it is the system set by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, he and his subordinates are all under the banner of the Ming Army in Zhejiang, these ancestral systems will inevitably affect the soldiers in the army, which is normal.

Yu Shizhong was only the first to jump out, because he was born in a hereditary martial arts family, and he also had a son who was studying in the Zhejiang Martial Arts School, and it might not be long before he would enter the army to serve, and he naturally had to fight for more benefits for his son.

This is selfishness, but it is also selfishness that is under the public heart and serves the public heart.

Everyone is a separate individual, it is impossible to have no selfishness, more or less, as long as it is not harmful to the public because of selfishness, after all, if the water is clear, there is no fish, and there is no futile to observe. Yu Shizhong's willingness to tell his heart through the inside story of Cao Conglong's rebellion was actually a reminder to Chen Wen, at least it was much stronger than after the Yongli court or the Manchu dynasty abducted more officers from him with hereditary official positions. But the crux of the matter is that this is also a feudal counterattack!

Is it to acquiesce in all this, and strive to bulldoze the Manchu Qing before the bad impact of this feudalization problem, and in the future, it will be the "after I die, who cares if he floods"?

Or do you continue on the path of de-feudalization, lest the wave of feudalism tear a gap in this matter, leading to a chain reaction that will lead to the undoing of previous efforts?

After thinking about how to act for a long time, Chen Wen already had a vague plan in his mind, but he still needed time to weigh it, and he couldn't make a decision for at least a while.

That night, while Chen Wen was still weighing the pros and cons, the envoys of the edict in the post house and the subordinates of Zheng Chenggong's envoys had already begun to pack their bags and make final preparations for the journey back to their hometowns starting tomorrow.

At present, although it is about to start the New Year, it is not suitable to go on the road, but the edict messenger's edict task has been completed, and these days in Jinhua also have some basic understanding of the Zhejiang Ming army, especially the army of successive battles has left an extremely deep impression on this line, as Sun Kewang's cronies, he naturally has to return to Guiyang Qin Wangfu to explain everything to Sun Kewang. And Zheng Chenggong's envoy, in fact, this task is just to protect the edict envoy plus send congratulatory gifts, now the edict envoy is going back, they naturally can't continue to stay for the New Year, and Zheng Qi also has a very important thing to return to Fujian Yu Zheng Chenggong.

In fact, using this period of time, not only did they have some basic understanding of the Ming army in Zhejiang, but Chen Wen also gained some preliminary understanding of the situation on the side of Zheng Chenggong and the Ming army in the southwest through various ways.

When Zheng Qi set out, Zheng Chenggong's army had already sent troops to Quanzhou, and the previous capture of Zhangzhou was a great supplement for Zheng Chenggong, and Quanzhou was his second target in trying to roll the snowball up. Zheng's naval division crisscrosses the Fujian Sea, and the toll in the Taiwan Strait is Zheng Chenggong's biggest source of income.

In addition, Chen Wen, the rattan armor soldier of the Zheng family, also got some understanding, in addition to Zhang Jun's report, there were also some things that Zheng Qi revealed to show the strength of the Zheng family.

Since Zheng Chenggong started his army, although his army is numerous, his territory can only rely on the absolute superiority of the navy to occupy the islands along the coast of Fujian and Guangdong. Those islands have limited production, especially the food that is vital to the agricultural society, and Zheng Chenggong can only invest the silver obtained from tolls and sea trade into foreign trade, so as to obtain more strategic resources to feed his army. But in this way, if it is difficult to buy iron armor pipe products, it will immediately become Zheng Chenggong's weakness, and the raw materials obtained will also be used to a greater extent in the processing of weapons, so in the armor, he can only retreat to the second best thing and use rattan armor instead.

Chen Wen had no interest in Zheng Chenggong's rattan armor at all, although his Zhejiang Ming army was also facing the dilemma of insufficient armor, but it was not necessary to spend more manpower to make rattan armor. What's more, Chen Wen is still hoping that the water conservancy workshop will be able to climb to a new high for his production capacity, so he naturally has no interest in handmade rattan armor.

In Chen Wen's view, Zheng Chenggong's rattan armor soldiers are not so much a substitute for too little armor as a new tactic. Although the concept of coordinating offense and defense with three people as a group to achieve more and less fighting on the local battlefield is still some distance from Qi Jiguang's idea of coordinating the long and short troops of the Mandarin Duck Formation, it has begun to show signs of breaking the fixed thinking of emphasizing individual martial arts.

It's just that since Chen Wen has decided to continue along the road that Qi Jiguang has not finished, Zheng Chenggong's ideas can only be used for reference, but compared to his rattan armor soldiers, Chen Wen is more like seeing this national surname in person, not for anything else, just to be able to see the true body of this national hero with his own eyes, rather than still being able to outline his image in his mind according to the statue of Gulangyu.

Compared with Zheng Chenggong, who has been greatly supplemented this year, the news from the Southwest Ming Army still shocked Chen Wen, who was already mentally prepared.

Compared with the offensive of the Ming army in the southwest in full swing, Chen Wen didn't have much effort to learn some inside information from the mouth of the edict messenger.

The Son of Heaven Yongli lives in Anlong Mansion, which Chen Wen knows very well, and according to his memory, the fate of Yongli being under house arrest should last for a few more years. The affairs of the DPRK and China have been handled by Sun Kewang, the lord of the country, and after the major matters are handled, they will not be informed at all, which is what Chen Wen knew before. But he didn't expect that this edict envoy would dare to blatantly say in front of him how the king of Qin was, and how strong Sun Kewang's strength was, and even Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo were all described as Sun Kewang's ministers rather than brothers with different surnames. As for the Yongli monarch and ministers, they showed a lack of respect, and even Chen Wen didn't ask him to mention the matter of the emperor's son at all.

Chen Wen knew what Sun Kewang had done in history, but he didn't expect that this was Zhejiang, and Sun Kewang's envoy had been able to promote Sun and suppress Zhu in such a way. It seemed that all this was already doomed, which made Chen Wen start to have a little doubt about the feasibility of his previous grand plan.

However, compared to Chen Wen's lack of confidence in the plan, one person in the Xuanzhao mission was clearly more confident in him.

“…… The king of Xining used soldiers like a god and was loyal, and he was a figure that the imperial court could rely on as a dry city. In addition, the prince of Zhangguo was rigorous, had strong potential, and the sailors were rampant in the Fujian Sea and could not be captured; The Marquis of Anyuan governed the army strictly, repeatedly frustrated the division, and his troops trained the troops with Qi Shaobao's method, just like the Qi family army reappeared in Zhejiang. Now I want to stay in Zhejiang, without him, all the generals in the world are exploiting the people to expand the army and raise troops, but the Marquis of An Yuan can reduce or exempt the taxes of the land that suffered from the military disaster, and his people have the heart to save the people, which is really rare. ”

As soon as he finished writing, Zhang Gongyan handed over the letter and another letter to his parents to a fellow township party, and after the letter was delivered, he privately sent the letter to Anlong Mansion and handed it to Lin Qingyang, a member of the military selection division of the military department who was just a "friend of words" with him.
