Li Jiannan, who returned to Ruzhou City, did not dare to tell Wang Jun and others about the commentary he heard in the Chen family's military camp. He drank a lot of wine, and then lay down on the bed like a dead pig, and fell asleep.

The next day, Chen Jiajun, loaded with supplies and money, happily went south from Ruzhou Prefecture. Chen Ming's team officers Chen Wenzan and Huang An led the team first, and the soldiers pointed to Yangjialou on the south bank of the Beiru River. If the hot spring town is the most top-notch commercial town in the whole Ruzhou, then Yangjialou is the economic center south of the Beiru River in the capital county of Ruzhou.

It can't be compared with the hot spring town, but compared with Liangwa Town in Lushan, Zhuge Temple Town in Baofeng, Xuedian in Jiaxian County and Changfu Town and Zhaoluo Town along the Beiru River, Yangjialou is definitely No.1.

Therefore, the local squires and tyrants who don't want their hometown to be beaten obediently offer a rich filial piety, just like the hot spring town, under the threat of Chen Jiajun's iron fist, these scruples and tyrants will only give in. So much so that Chen Jiajun's subsequent smashing of the field, they also turned a blind eye.

As the first county of Ruzhou and the later Ruzhou City, Chen Ming's current land can be buried with rich mineral resources. Among them, there are mainly coal, bauxite, cement limestone, geothermal water and so on. and small amounts of metallic substances such as iron, copper, lead, zinc, gold, etc.

In this day and age, the economic benefits of baux-vanadium earth are completely devoid and have no value at all. Cement limestone has not formed an industry at all, and even if there is a kiln, lime is still a small amount. Geothermal water is a hot spring town, and this can't get into Chen Ming's eyes. The only things that can enter Chen Ming's eyes are coal mines that use a lot of labor and a few iron mines. Coal and iron are still Chen Jiajun's main targets.

Therefore, after the state city softened, Chen Ming immediately sent troops to smash the field everywhere and brought waves of rescued slave laborers to the Beiru River. Chen Ming will not let go of these people, the Chen family has grown to this point, and it will not take care of the personal wishes of the slave workers as it did at the beginning. At present, these people are all going to work for the Chen family. Chen Ming can be sure that among these people in front of him, they will inevitably be deserters and traitors in the process of the rise of the Chen family's army, but so what? The red army back then was inevitably these, not to mention the family-style team pulled up by Chen Ming?

As far as Chen Jiajun's current situation is concerned, it is too unfavorable, too pessimistic and hopeless. In the future, even the children of the Chen family would not dare to guarantee their absolute loyalty, so why should they care too much about these slave laborers?

Chen Ming swept through the capital county of Ruzhou for six or seven days, and then he personally led four teams plus two teams of recruits to bombard Yiyang County with flying thunder artillery, which was another happy time for bandits. The gendarmerie was obviously understaffed, and even during the raid on Yiyang City, two gendarmes had an accident, one dead and one missing.

I can figure out the reason for this on my toes. Chen Ming directly led people to take down the four squads at the location of the two gendarmes who had the accident, one of them was a veteran squad, one was a recruit squad, and two were a squad composed of slave workers in the state city.

Interrogation, can't ask anything. But as soon as they searched their respective bags and backpacks, they couldn't hide it. So one of the veterans' squad and two state slave laborers, twenty lives paid for the lives of the two gendarmes who had died!

The former is bold, fights more, and raids more times, and has become an old oilman. So it's bold.

The latter didn't control his trouser belt, rubbed some oil or something when he raided the house, and it was just a matter of flirting and flirting, but he was so confused that the overlord was the bow, and of course the gendarmes did not allow it. Chen Ming has zero tolerance for rape, adultery, and women and children in the army. Those wealthy families in hostile positions, you can kill people all over the house, but when you see people's flowery women wanting to take women's happiness, you don't have to think about it.

I really can't control my trouser belt, so go to the Qinglou and be happy. Chen Ming not only does not prohibit this, but every time he captures a county, he will also deliberately gather the women of the women's branch of the Qinglou and circle them to one place, and the soldiers of the Chen family army can take turns to relax. but give up money and money. Chen Jiajun's military salary is so generous, as well as combat allowances and looting profits, no matter how new a soldier is transferred from a county, he can have eight, nine, or ten taels of silver in his hand. It's enough for him to be happy for a few games.

So Jianyin Minnu or something, Chen Jiajun doesn't want it.

It wasn't until May that Chen Ming returned to Lushan. The number of 500 people who went out exceeded 2,000 when they returned. This is not counting the people and horses who have been coming to Lushan with a piece of material in these days, if they are all added together, 2,500 people are enough.

Therefore, coupled with the people and horses brought back by the Chen family from Yexian and Wuyang, it really made Chen Ming feel a sense of being strong for a while.

"Dad, what we lack most now is qualified officers." In the study room of the Lushan County Ya, Chen Ming, Chen Hui and his son were muttering about their own family's small words. "Now there are 6,000 people in our Chen family's army, as long as the armament can keep up, even if it is an organization like bandits and grass bandits, a group of rabble, can still kill the people and horses of Guide Town and Yunyang Town."

"But our eyes can't just focus on this part of Ruzhou, the territory of the imperial court is huge. This return to Dezhen and Yunyang Town has been thinned, and the next time he will come forward, he will make the governor of Henan, the governor of Anhui and the governor of Hubei. The next wave of Qing troops we will face will be twenty or thirty thousand or more. Then the troops can't fight like this.

It's time for us to build an official class, and in the meantime, Dad, how are you thinking about it? It's time to make up your mind. ”

Chen Hui's face twitched, and he said, "I have talked to you for the seventh and ninth dukes, as well as your uncle and your uncle through this matter. Chen Hui shook his head, "The reaction is not very good. The imperial court has millions of soldiers, and the Qing Dynasty is at its peak, so they are very afraid. "The Seventh Duke and the Ninth Duke are more willing to dig the cottage deeper into Funiu Mountain.

Is this going to be an old bandit, a century-old cottage?

Chen Ming laughed, "What a joke." Do the Seven Princes and Nine Princes still think that we have suffered a defeat outside the mountain, and we can continue to live after retreating into the mountain? "It's naïve. The Chen family's current 'disaster', even if it does not officially raise the banner of anti-Qing, will be regarded as a thorn in the side of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it is a scourge that must be eliminated. Because the position of the Chen family is too sensitive, the hinterland of the Central Plains, the current Chen family has no old bandits.

"Dad, this matter can't be left to the will of the Seven Princes and the Nine Princes." The Huang family, the Gao family, and some of the children in the army also have some of them, and their influence is not small. But compared with the internal disputes of the Chen family such as the Seventh Duke and the Ninth Duke, the opinions of the uncle and the eldest uncle came second. The timid thoughts of the Seventh and Ninth Princes are the core problems. This is a very dangerous sign!

Because the current Chen family can't withstand fluctuations, because the current Chen family can't tolerate division.

More than seventy percent of the officers of the entire Chen family army are served by the children of the Chen family, and all the logistics and military work are in the hands of the children of the Chen family, and the Chen family must be united!

Comparing the Chen family to the Taiping Army, the current Chen family is not as good as the Taiping Army in Yong'an City. It's still far from being able to afford the risk of infighting and division.
