In the early morning of the first day of September in the fourth year of Yongli, in front of the military platform in the west school field of the old camp of Dalan Mountain, on the tall flagpole, the flying tiger flag of the Nantang camp hunted in the breeze in the mountains.

After a night of reorganization, the new recruits have been formed into new combat units and rotated into the old establishment, and these soldiers have already entered the establishment of the Nantang battalion, and it will take time to fully integrate into it.

At this time, they, along with all the veterans, stood in the school yard in a procession, raised their heads at the camp flag, and raised their right arms as they did, clenched their fists near their temples, and read the oath aloud.

"I'm a member of the Nantang Camp of the King Division of Dalan Mountain,"

"I'm a member of the Nantang Camp of the King Division of Dalan Mountain,"

"I take an oath under the battalion flag of the battalion:"

"I take an oath under the battalion flag of the battalion:"

"From today on, I will be under the protection of the Chinese ancestors and ancestors, under the gaze of Qi Jiguang and Qi Shaobao, and under the leadership of General Chen Wen."

"From today on, I will be under the protection of the Chinese ancestors and ancestors, under the gaze of Qi Jiguang and Qi Shaobao, and under the leadership of General Chen Wen."

"Faithful, obedient to orders, brave in battle, and protecting the people."

"Faithful, obedient to orders, brave in battle, and protecting the people."

"Always be ready to dedicate your life's strength to drive out the Tartars, recover the lost land, and revive the Chinese civilization!"

"Always be ready to dedicate your life's strength to drive out the Tartars, recover the lost land, and revive the Chinese civilization!"

"Oath taker: Chen Wen."

"Oath taker: Wu Dengke."

"Oath taker: Yin Yue."

"Oath taker: Li Ruixin."

"Oath taker: Lou Jiye."

“……”

"Oath taker: Niu Ping'an."

“……”

"Oath taker: Lin Zhongxiao."

“……”

"Oath taker: Blessed is Ann."

“……”

"Oath taker: Chen Fugui."

“……”

When everyone in the room shouted out their names, the oath was over.

This oath was changed by Chen Wen after the oath of the Young Pioneers in the Republic era, since he discovered that the brainwashing trick is still relatively easy for the time being, he began to think about more similar things, such as the wall of the military camp was graffiti by Chen Wen, such as expelling the Tartars, restoring China, sealing the wife and the son, the princes work hard, and the Qi family army will win, etc., are all his new tricks, and the same is true of this oath ceremony.

Even if some of this is just formalism, he did not hesitate to instill this army that has never appeared in this era in history, because if you do it, you will have results, no matter good or bad, if you don't do it, you will have nothing!

After the oath is taken, it is the camp ceremony of wearing helmets, distributing weapons and rewarding silver, although this was originally used in the army formation ceremony more than a month ago, but since it is conducive to brainwashing, then Chen Wen transplanted it without discipline.

At the end of the camp ceremony, the military law regulations were read out as before, although many of the regulations and military laws had been well known to many recruits in the previous three days, but when Chen Wen read them out in public, they still attracted surprise.

It's just that this time it's not as lenient as the last time, because the pacifiers and officers are all made up of officers and veterans who have been in the camp earlier, and they won't be distracted by these things that have been brainwashed many times like last time.

Of course, punishment without teaching is still not allowed, but those recruits who questioned and sighed were not only despised by the veterans in silence, but also remembered their identities by the officers and pacifiers without exception. In the days to come, they will be the subject of intense observation of military law and regulations until they become a true veteran.

The morning passed like this, and the afternoon time, starting from the left and right, to the march in formation, whether it was a veteran or a new recruit, today because of the new recruits entering the camp, so the training plan should also be accommodated. When distinguishing between left and right, Chen Wen once again sacrificed the killing weapon of "left hand and right hand slow motion", at least he was ready to play like this until he thought of a better trick.

Brainwashing, naturally, starts with recruits!

Due to the relatively large scale of this army expansion and the fact that there is not much time left before the war in history, Chen Wen did not distribute it evenly when he reorganized the army.

According to the design of him and Wu Dengke, Yin Yue, Li Ruixin, and Lou Jiye, the original five-post size of the Mandarin Duck Array killer team has increased to eight, but the establishment is still the four-four system during the southern anti-Japanese war, but each post has a sentry commander and a herald.

The sentry commander of each post carries a flag, and the style is still the Flying Tiger Flag, but it is different from the battalion flag of the Nantang Battalion, the Flying Tiger on this flag is much smaller and much simpler, and the vacant place is embroidered with larger Chinese characters to indicate the name of the post. Chen Wen shamelessly handed over the task of making the back flag to Sun Yu's wife Yi Shi again, but this time he really gave the salary, because it was a bit too much like last time.

Because Chen Wen did not have a sentry commander in the original establishment, he promoted eight sentry commanders from the original five sentry posts this time, and promoted eight sentry commanders to the captain of the team to make up for the vacancy after their captain was promoted to sentry commander, for example, Niu Ping'an, the captain of the first killer team of the first sentry team, was appointed as the captain of the team because the captain Lou Jiye was appointed as the sentry commander and was appointed as the captain of the army.

In addition, Chen Wen took some of the army commanders and the suppression soldiers plus all twenty firefighters as veterans and incorporated them into the three newly formed outposts to partner with the recruits. Needless to say, the commander and the suppression soldiers were all promoted to the captains of the new killer team, and the firefighters themselves were arranged as firefighters when the army was established due to their poor physical fitness, but after a month of eating and high-intensity training, the physical fitness of these firefighters has improved, so Chen Wen filled these firefighters with other positions in the recruit team, and their positions in the original team were transferred to the recruits.

In this way, in addition to the firefighters, the first five outposts only added a small number of recruits, and the combat effectiveness did not decline much, and because only a very small number of recruits were added, and the skilled veterans also had a great advantage, so only the integration of recruits could restore combat effectiveness at a very fast speed.

Of course, the first post is still an exception, the four killer teams of this post are all composed of veterans except for the replacement of firefighters, which is the strongest combat effectiveness in Chen Wen's hands, and it is also the unit he is ready to use on the battlefield to make a final decision. The next training of this outpost is to cooperate with the cavalry team in order to maximize its ability to decide the victory.

In contrast, the last three teams are almost all composed of new recruits, and their combat ability is almost zero, even if the original commanders, calmers and firefighters join to form combat effectiveness, it will take a while, the number of recruits is too large, all training has to start again, and even those veterans have to readjust to their new positions.

In this way, the original five outposts can be preserved because there are not many new recruits replaced, and they will be the backbone of the battlefield, while the last three newly built outposts will absorb very few veterans because they want to accommodate the original five outposts, and they can only be used as auxiliaries on the battlefield and cannot be used to undertake more important combat tasks.

The Mandarin Duck Array Killer Team is Chen Wen's killer weapon, and the staffing has not increased much, mainly to prevent its combat effectiveness from declining too quickly, because the war is just around the corner.

Unlike the Mandarin Duck Killer Team, the firearms team has expanded its staffing to a large extent, from the previous five teams to ten teams at once. Since there is only one bird gun craftsman in the old camp of Dalan Mountain and his son is responsible for making bird guns, the production capacity is frighteningly low, so it is still those two teams that use bird guns. Fortunately, this is located in a mountainous area, and although five of the remaining eight teams are recruits, almost none of them can use bows and arrows, and their combat effectiveness should improve quickly.

Finally, there is the cavalry team, the cavalry battalion that existed as a separate formation in the Qi family army in the Qi Jiguang era was established when the north was guarding the border, and there was no such establishment in the anti-Japanese era in the south. Chen Wen learned from Qi Jiguang's experience, and took into account the vertical and horizontal water network and rugged roads in Zhejiang, so he only established the cavalry team of the Chinese army from the beginning of the establishment of the army, and even the weapon configuration was all in accordance with Li Ruixin's method. The current cavalry team is still the same, a team of ten horsemen, divided into two teams, one captain directly leads the other team, and the other team is led by the captain.

In this expansion, Chen Wen expanded the original cavalry team of 20 people to 40 people, and the horses were obtained by the local tyrants who beat Wang Yi. Although the Ming army of Dalanshan is well developed, but horses are a scarce item in Jiangnan, and Zheng Chenggong is so generous in history that he has no way to establish a large-scale cavalry battalion, but uses the iron army wearing heavy armor and holding a horse chopping knife as the backbone, which is out of such helplessness. And Chen Wen can be regarded as having almost dug out the stables of the old camp this time, so that the grooms in the old camp are now about to face unemployment.

In addition, Chen Wen also established a 20-member Chinese army engineer team, which was responsible for digging pits, laying traps, laying tribulus terrestris, etc.

Chen Wen, the second- and third-generation engineer shovels used in the Republic era, had seen it at the Military History Forum, but there was no need to toss that now, after all, even the establishment of this establishment Wang Yi and his officers felt that it was a waste. In their opinion, the auxiliaries of the old battalion were capable of doing these jobs, but because they had just defeated the middle battalion, the establishment he had imitated earlier had already been effective, so they acquiesced with the mentality of wasting and wasting, maybe it was really useful.

The eight posts of the Mandarin Duck Array Killer Team were divided into two parts, the four posts A, B, C, and D were under the command of Wu Dengke, while the four posts of E, Ji, Geng, and Xin were under the responsibility of Yin Yue.

The establishment was redivided, and Chen Wen's Nantang battalion once again entered a state of frantic training, preparing for the upcoming war. And at this time, Wang Sheng also came to Dalan Mountain.

In fact, according to the distance between Dalanshan and Xue Ao, Wang Sheng should have arrived a long time ago, and Feng Jingdi's order was also to tell him to come to Dalanshan first and then go to the other Ming armies. It's just that in Wang Sheng's plan, Dalanshan is naturally coming, but sending the letter is not an urgent matter, the key is to wait for someone, and the key to this plan lies in the cronies he sent out during this period.

In the hall of the Chinese army in the old camp of Dalanshan, Wang Yi sat on a chair and looked at Feng Jingdi's letter. The content of the letter is very simple, he Feng Jingdi after careful consideration, felt that he could not ruin the state affairs because of personal likes and dislikes, so he agreed to join forces to send troops, and he would also persuade some familiar Ming army generals to strive to gather more troops before the war, so as to achieve the effect of fighting more and fighting less.

Of course, in the letter, Feng Jingdi still believed that Chen Wen was a eunuch and reminded Wang Yi not to be deceived by him.

After many years of intersection, Wang Yi is very clear about Feng Jingdi's personality, in the end, this person is not practical, and he is a little nerdy, and even a little old-fashioned, even in the current situation, he still maintains the old Donglin mentality of talking about his heart and mind, and repaying the king when he dies. But if it is said that his corpse is a vegetarian meal, it is not true, at least when he goes to Japan to beggar, he can definitely be called a liver and gall.

Although at this moment, the dynasty needs more practical bureaucrats like him and Wang Jiang, if Feng Jingdi is willing to corrupt state affairs in order to flatter the Manchus, he Wang Yi will definitely not believe it. Now that Feng Jingdi has put down his psychological baggage and decided to cooperate with the troops, he will never make trouble on the battlefield, as for the clichés on the letter, Wang Yi will directly ignore them.

politely exchanged a few words with Wang Sheng, and Wang Yi served tea to the guests. It's just that at this time it was already night, and the situation was not urgent, so it was not suitable for the messenger to go down the mountain overnight, so he arranged it in the post house used by the old camp to usher in the delivery.

The post house of the old camp is located in the residential area in the east of the camp, and the military camp next to the west school field where Chen Wen lives is in two opposite directions, plus Chen Wen does not have too good colleagues in the old camp except for Sun Yu on weekdays, and he goes directly to the relevant departments to deal with official business, so he does not know much about the pattern of the residential area.

However, Wang Sheng lived in a post house several times, and some officials whose family was in a residential area could also say a few words. At this time, he had just eaten and came to the door of a house that could barely be called familiar.

"Is Treasurer Chu at home?"

It was Chu Suxian who opened the door, and when he saw that it was Wang Sheng, he was quite strange. He and Wang Sheng are not very familiar with each other, and he had accepted Wang Yi's leadership for a period of time because Feng Jingdi was sent to Japan by His Royal Highness the Prison State to ask for help last year, and it was then that he had some nodding acquaintances with this person. It's just that at this moment, why this Wang Sheng appeared in front of his house surprised him.

Out of politeness, Chu Suxian still invited Wang Sheng, an uninvited guest, in, but the first sentence of this person's seat almost made him blow this guy out.

"I heard that Treasurer Chu had some conflicts with that Chen Wen a few days ago?"

Hearing this, Chu Suxian was a little angry, although he did not compete for the position of director of the Treasury Department, but he was still the treasury ambassador of the silver treasury, how could this military general from another town dare to expose his scars in person. It's just Wang Sheng's next sentence, but Chu Su swallowed back the bombardment words first.

"Don't hide it from the treasurer, I also have some grudges with that guy surnamed Chen."

So, these two and Chen Wen have a great contradiction and chatted with the mentality of sympathy, until late at night, Wang Sheng left in a hurry, and Chu Suxian, who has always been in charge of the civil official shelf, personally sent him out, I don't know I am afraid that I think these two have a good friendship.
