Early the next morning, Chen Wen began to distribute the true color and folded color of the military salary.

When distributing the military salary, Chen Wen did not do anything, but was personally distributed by the quartermaster Qi Xiufeng, who stood by and watched. The new system of distribution of salaries was established by him, and this system was not used with most of the systems he had established, and it itself violated the privileges of the officers, so Chen Wen was bound to closely monitor its formation to avoid the resurgence of the phenomenon of military salaries being deducted by the officers.

Watching the officers and soldiers sincerely thank him after receiving the reward, Chen Wen believed that everything he had done before had begun to pay off. Whether it is the implementation of military law or the defense of the soldiers' salaries from being coveted by civilian officials, all this will be like the candied fruit that many poor soldiers in his camp may have not eaten for many years or at all in the reward he gave during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which will remain with the feeling in his memory for a long time, and thus continue to infect other members who will join this army in the future.

Looking at the cheers of the soldiers after receiving their salaries, he decided that for the time being, there was no need to make a fuss to order his subordinates to shout "Eat Chen Dashuai's food and wear Chen Dashuai's clothes" like Yuan Shikai did. Even if it is a reality that the current army will be a general, he does not plan to continue to stimulate the nerves of those civilian officials who supervise the army.

After the salary, Chen Wen asked the officers to continue to lead the soldiers in training, while he went to the hall of the Chinese army to attend the regular meeting.

Today's regular meeting is different from the previous day, because Wang Yi had already rushed back last night. It's just that the first thing he did when he came back was to wrap up yesterday's events.

"The governance of the army of the national dynasty, meritorious service will be rewarded, and mistakes must be punished, the guerrilla general Chen Wen beat his colleagues, the crime is unforgivable, and he is specially demoted to a garrison, and he is still in charge of the original army, in order to see the after-effects, and his people will be punished for the decoction and medicine of the wounded this month, this order."

"Obedience."

From the last general to the humble position, although he is not used to it, whether it is a guerrilla general or a garrison, Chen Wen does not care very much, in troubled times, there is everything if there is military power, and the position is not very important. Especially at this time, even the title is far less valuable than before Jiashen, let alone the position.

Furthermore, Wang Yi's punishment decision did not say that Chen Wen was wrong for resisting corruption, but that the wrong means were too crude and there was a suspicion of overstepping his authority, so he would be demoted. Therefore, for such a punishment result, Chen Wen does not have the slightest psychological baggage.

Solved yesterday's problem, in addition to summarizing the affairs of the old camp during Wang Yi's descent from the mountain, the main thing is the competition scheduled for the afternoon under the command of Chen Wen's department and a garrison of the middle battalion. To Chen Wen's surprise, in addition to the officials of the old battalion of Dalanshan headed by Wang Yi and Wang Jiang, Huang Zhongdao, the commander of the front battalion stationed outside, Mao Mingshan, the commander of the rear battalion, and Feng Jingdi, the commander of the Ming Army of Siming Mountain, and his general, Wang Sheng, an old acquaintance of Chen Wen, attended the ceremony.

Since this was a regular meeting of the old camp in Dalanshan, Feng Jingdi and Wang Sheng did not attend, and Chen Wen also met Huang Zhongdao and Mao Mingshan for the first time. Huang Zhongdao has the position of the governor of the Zuo Governor's Mansion, he doesn't talk a lot, and his appearance is quite elegant, it is difficult to imagine that this person is the one who killed the envoy of Yan My Duke a month before Chen Wen came to this era; Mao Mingshan, who was the commander of the same battalion as him, was very different, he spoke straightforwardly, even in the face of Wang Yi, he dared to speak out, but Chen Wen found that other colleagues seemed to be accustomed to it, which reminded him of Mao Mingshan's nickname of "Mao King Kong", which was quite appropriate.

Maybe it's because the punishment decision has just been announced, and after that, Wang Yi was a little unpretentious about Chen Wen, and even snubbed, especially when it was announced that he would compete in the university field in the afternoon. During the entire regular meeting, whether it was the garrison of the middle camp who was very motivated by Wang Yi, or other colleagues were probably waiting to see Chen Wen's jokes. And he also knew Wang Yi's intentions very well, nothing more than to sharpen his temperament.

Chen Wen looked at all this with a sneer, and secretly said in his heart, I may be going to disappoint you today.

After the regular meeting, Chen Wen returned to the West Campus with disdain for Chu Suxian, his demotion, or his recruits.

After the results of the punishment were announced, Chen Wen's subordinates appeared quite indignant, and in their opinion, those corrupt officials should be taught a lesson, and even beheaded for public display. Regarding the fact that Chen Wen injured Chu Suxian for them, whether it was out of the subordinate relationship between the general and his subordinates, or because Chen Wen was defending their interests, they would choose to stand firmly on Chen Wen's side. And Chen Wen's behavior also won their loyalty even more, because it made them feel that they were following the right person.

How can a general who can defend the interests of his subordinates not be loyal to his subordinates?

It's just that Chen Wen still unceremoniously stopped them from going to the hall of the Chinese army to ask for an explanation. In addition to not wanting to stimulate the nerves of those civilian officials, what is more important is the principle of rewarding and punishing meritorious service in the military. So, with the theory that there must be punishment, he blasted all these subordinates back to the west school field and continued training.

In addition, after announcing the order for the afternoon competition, Chen Wen rejected the other officers' suggestions for the next training queue, because he did not think that the current Mandarin Duck Formation could lose to those old-style troops, especially after Wang Yi announced the rules of the competition. For him now, the key is how to win beautifully.

After the morning training was over at the prescribed hour, the battalion soldiers went to lunch, and after eating, they still slept for half an hour, and everything in the camp seemed to be in order, as if the afternoon competition had nothing to do with them. The only difference is that at noon today, each person has an extra bowl of thick fish soup, which tastes very good.

At the appointed time, Chen Wen led the whole battalion to the large school field located in front of the hall of the Chinese army. Since the middle camp uses this large campus on weekdays, and its military camp is also next to the school field, it arrived a little earlier than Chen Wensuo's department.

After the two departments arrived, a small official went to the hall of the Chinese army to invite those officials. Soon, under the leadership of Wang Yi, a group of people watching the battle came to the big school field, and sat down one by one after boarding the military platform.

Seeing this, Chen Wen and the garrison passed the two steps on both sides of the Daxiao Field Point Soldier Platform and also climbed the point platform. After the two of them had saluted, a civil official who had performed the salute stepped forward and began to read aloud with a military order in his hand.

"In accordance with the military order of Wang Jingluo, the left attendant of the Emperor's Ming Military Department and the left deputy imperial envoy of the capital, today in order to test the training effectiveness of the new battalion organized by the garrison headquarters of the Central Battalion and the garrison Chen Wen, two battalions are specially arranged to compete in the old camp of Dalanshan. There are three test items, one is cavalry combat, the second is bow and arrow, firearms shooting, and the third is array confrontation. Both sides are the robes of my Ming King, and they need to be pointed, and they must not kill or injure the opponent, this order. ”

"Obedience." After saluting, the two of them got off the military platform and went to arrange the personnel of the headquarters.

Wang Sheng stood beside Feng Jingdi, looking at Chen Wen's back with a complicated expression. This scholar, who traveled thousands of miles alone more than a month ago, is almost equal to his status at this moment, and even more than the number of troops he leads. He felt quite unhappy about this change.

He had previously sent someone to find an opportunity to assassinate Chen Wen, but the officer in charge of the matter reported that this guy had never left the range of Dalan Mountain, and later became a guerrilla general in the old camp of Dalan Mountain with great fanfare, and he also led a battalion directly He can be counted as a stop, after all, the consequences of murdering a white-bodied scholar and murdering an in-service military general are completely different.

Wang Sheng knew very well that with the strength of the old camp in Dalanshan, Chen Wen, the head of the battalion with only more than 300 people for the time being, could become 500, 800 or 1,000 at any time. And once this person gains power, according to the temperament of a martial artist in this era, it is impossible to reconcile with himself, and when he arrives on the battlefield, he must be ready to be calculated by this guy at any time, all of which prompts him to constantly curse Chen Wen and Chen Wen's subordinates at this time.

At the same time, Feng Jingdi, who was sitting next to Wang Yi, was also paying attention to Chen Wen, unlike the disdain of others, Feng Jingdi's eyes were more vigilant, if someone who was familiar with Feng Jingdi could definitely see that the last time that vigilance appeared in Feng Jingdi's eyes was a few years ago when he and Yu Huang went to Japan to beg for the matter of going to Japan in front of Lu Jianguo.

Looking at Chen Wen, who was arranging the personnel to appear, Wang Jiang sighed, because cavalry and firearms were not easy to train, so he initially did not agree to put them in the competition, because it was unfair to do so. But after yesterday's incident, he didn't persuade Wang Yi to change his plan, and now he only hopes that Chen Wen won't lose too badly, after all, this young man's talent is still very exciting, but this temper still needs to be sharpened before it can be used.

After a while, the arrangements on the side of the middle camp had been completed, and Chen Wen returned to the point station with the garrison to resume his life, and then they each stood on the side of the point station close to the soldiers of their respective battalions to maintain order.

The first competition was a cavalry battle, and the four soldiers who were guarding the middle camp turned over and performed some equestrian skills on their horses.

Seeing that his family's riding skills won the applause of everyone on and off the stage, the garrison in the middle camp couldn't help but show his face. He led 300 soldiers, and only after eating the empty salary of 100 people did he raise ten pro-soldiers, and these four on the field were the best of his pro-soldier team, and the leader was always the captain of his pro-soldiers, and he was definitely worthy of the four words of martial arts.

At the same time, on Chen Wen's side, the captains of the two cavalry teams and a captain turned over and stepped on the war horse, unlike the opponent, their riding skills seemed very rusty, probably it was good to be able to charge on the horse, and the equestrian skills were too extravagant.

Just when everyone showed disdain, Li Ruixin led his dark cloud and snow from the cavalry team's war horses and came to the other three people who went to fight, only to see that he flew up as if he was out of gravity as soon as he supported his whole body with both hands, and sat directly on the saddle with his buttocks, and did not step on the stirrups with his feet until he sat down, and the black horse under his crotch also behaved very calmly, and seemed to be indifferent to the fact that there was suddenly a big man on his back who was not inferior to Chen Wen's and other traversers in terms of figure.

Unlike the other seven people, Li Ruixin did not wear armor, and he was once a personal soldier under the account of Huang Degong, who was canonized by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and Huang Degong, who was famous for his martial arts and bravery in the late Ming Dynasty. But with this cavalry team that had only been practicing for a month, he was afraid of embarrassing his current general, Chen Wen, so he volunteered to appear.

Riding a horse to the school grounds, Li Ruixin turned the wooden gun in his hand that was dipped in white ash and wrapped in a thick cloth at one end, and pouted very much, this weight made him very uncomfortable, especially compared with the ancestral horse oar.

Seeing that it was Li Ruixin who appeared here, the middle camp looked quite surprised, looking at the face of the captain of the middle camp, he obviously knew Li Ruixin, and he knew more or less about this person's martial arts. I saw that he and the other three pro-soldiers exchanged words before saluting on the horse.

It was precisely because he knew Li Ruixin's martial arts that the captain of the pro-soldier revised the plan he had made earlier. In the new plan, the four of them will put all their attention on Li Ruixin in the first round of attack, and strive to pick him off in the first round. As for the remaining three, he didn't care, a cavalry who had been trained for a month was already very good to be able to charge on horseback, how could something as advanced as riding combat be so easy to practice?

After the civil official on the stage announced the start of the competition, the captain of the pro-soldier immediately led his subordinates to ride horses to Li Ruixin and others, the first thing about riding is speed, the horse speed is faster, the probability of winning is higher, this is the basic common sense that any cavalry general knows, and he believes that Li Ruixin also knows this.

It's just that at this time, he found that Li Ruixin didn't seem to plan to fight with him, but rushed directly to his three subordinates alone, but the other three recruits met him. This made him speechless, and he didn't know whether to be happy with Li Ruixin's underestimation of the enemy, or to be angry at the other party's ignorance of the cavalry he had trained.

Before the advent of the romantic wall charge that belonged to men, the cavalry and cavalry on both sides of the cavalry would be separated from each other at a considerable distance to facilitate the engagement, as it would be easier for them to use the length of weapons such as horses, pikes, halberds, and broadswords to attack their opponents from all angles. Of course, to prevent accidental injury to teammates is also a big reason to do this.

At this moment, the eight cavalry generals on both sides of the colonel's field did not leave this category, and after engaging the enemy, the captain of the middle battalion picked one of the opponents off his horse with one shot, and then fought with the other two, and even had the meaning of pressing and fighting. At this time, bursts of cheers and admiration were also heard on the field of the colonel.

Fighting with these recruits made the captain feel really relaxed, but the opponent seemed to be practicing very diligently, and Li Ruixin must also have the experience of training cavalry and cavalry warfare, and the two cavalry on the opposite side at the moment did not look like recruits who had only been trained for a month, and they felt that they had already started a little, which made him look at Chen Wen and Li Ruixin again.

It's just that it's useless for this competition, if you solve these two, you can cooperate with the other three to fight against Li Ruixin, and he is very confident in his generals and the three pro-soldiers who have been training with him for more than two years.

The captain of the pro-soldier who had a premonition of victory continued to attack his two opponents with the wooden spear in his hand, and his two opponents could only use defensive moves to delay the time of defeat. It's just that for a cavalryman, dexterity is the most basic quality, and the captain of the pro-soldier is not slow at this time, but his eyes have caught a glimpse of an amazing scene, and the appearance of this scene almost made him be picked off by an opponent who saw the flaw.

Facing the three people with the strength of one person, Li Ruixin turned the wooden gun in his hand the moment he met the enemy, knocked one opponent off the horse, and then fought with the other two. As a cavalry general who has been fighting with the rogues and Tartar cavalry on the battlefield for many years, Li Ruixin's moves have no fancy meaning, and every shot is aimed at the key point to attack, which can definitely be called steady, accurate and ruthless.

I saw that he divided the other person off the horse with three strikes and five divisions, and the rest of the person was directly shot in the chest by Li Ruixin at the same time when the captain of the pro-soldier noticed it, and flew out of the horse. With that strength, it looks like one of the ribs may be stabbed off.

The captain of the pro-soldier tried his best to defuse the attack that was just found by the opponent because of the loss of consciousness, but because all his other teammates were sentenced to fall, his mind began to panic, and his moves completely lost the momentum just now, and he could only fight a draw with those two opponents at this moment.

Fortunately, neither of them could compare with him in martial arts on horseback, and after a while, he regained the initiative. It's just that the only thing that's a little strange is that during this period, Li Ruixin just rode his horse and stood in the distance, without the slightest desire to enter the battle group.

Li Ruixin quietly looked at the three people who were still fighting, the captain of the pro-soldier was indeed quite brave, whether it was strength or skill, it was already good in this Dalan Mountain, but for him, it was still not good.

In his opinion, the comparison objects of the family members and pro-soldiers in the Ming army should be the elite of the Manchu white armor soldiers. Although this pro-soldier captain is not weak, his level is not up to that level, after all, it is not something that can be trained overnight. Even if this person's level is good in the Dalan Mountain area, but looking to the future, it is still not enough to fight against the Manchu Halal Tartars.

After watching for a while, seeing that the two cavalry captains had really felt a decent cavalry battle, and the cavalry standing around had also seen clearly what was going on in this cavalry battle, Li Ruixin didn't plan to waste any more time. He ordered the two men to retreat, and when their opponent had regained some strength, he motioned for him to face off one-on-one with the captain of his own army.

In full view, both sides retreated to a distance suitable for cavalry acceleration, and then galloped towards their opponents with wooden spears in hand. At the time of the battle, Li Ruixin saw that the opponent shook a spear, and then came straight to his chest, obviously not wanting to fight anymore, and planned to decide the winner in a battle, and he happened to have this intention.

I saw Li Ruixin lying on the back of a horse with an iron plate bridge, and forcibly gave way to the spear that pierced directly, and then a harrier turned over, and the whole person stood upright again.

But at this time, the captain of the pro-soldier had already rushed over, Li Ruixin pulled the reins while getting up, and by the time he got up, the war horse had almost finished turning. Relying on the time difference created by force, he then rode his horse and galloped up, and stabbed the captain of his own army in the chest just about to turn around to meet him, causing him to fall off his horse directly.

"Good!"
