Back at the battalion headquarters, Qin Yongnian was still immersed in excitement, the mighty and majestic soldiers, the morale of pushing mountains and seas, he had been in the army for more than 20 years, and he had never seen the soldiers of the Ming Army with such a strong desire to fight, that is, the strongest Liaodong Army in battle, he had also seen it, there was absolutely no such morale, could it be the reincarnation of the legendary Qi family's army? I don't know if the Fenwu Battalion has the combat effectiveness of the Qi family's army.

The morale of the soldiers is so high, but as the supreme commander of the Fenwu Battalion, he does not know his own soldiers, let alone the methods and means of stimulating morale like Zhu Youzhen. Although in his heart, he disdained to use Zhu Youzhen's methods to motivate morale, he had to admit that Zhu Youzhen's measures to stimulate morale were still very clever.

"His Royal Highness King Xin, this time the Fenwu Battalion is under your full command, and I will assist you in the supply of grain, grass and equipment." When there were only two people left in the big tent of the Chinese army, Qin Yongnian finally made up his mind.

"Why did the commander say that? You are the commander of the Fenwu Battalion, and I am just assisting the commanders of the adults. If outsiders hear this, they will think that you and I are out of harmony. Zhu Youzhen didn't know Qin Yongnian's intentions, according to his understanding, Qin Yongnian should be a real soldier, and he would not hold a grudge because he stole his limelight at the mobilization meeting.

"Your Royal Highness King Xin, don't worry too much! I just think that your method of commanding troops is different from my understanding, but I also think that you can fully mobilize the morale of the soldiers, especially the mobilization meeting of the soldiers, and I am still enthusiastic. I just want to see what is unique about your methods of warfare. In order to dispel Zhu Youzhen's doubts, Qin Yongnian said very frankly.

If he handed over the command of the army to Zhu Youzhen without explanation, even if Zhu Youzhen could accept it, he would always feel uncomfortable in his heart, and even thought that Qin Yongnian was picking on his son. If you have a pimple in your heart, you will suffer from both gains and losses when commanding the army, and you will not be able to bring into play your command art and command level, and if you don't do it well, you will lose the chance to win.

"Commander ......" Zhu Youzhen wanted to say something more, but Qin Yongnian interrupted him: "Needless to say, Your Highness." Finding the best way to command troops is also the most important responsibility of a general. "They are all smart people, and there is no need to say anything superfluous, but Zhu Youzhen is too young after all, and he has no actual combat experience, unless he is a genius. Qin Yongnian was a little uneasy, coupled with Zhu Youzhen's status as a prince, "However, Your Highness has to rely on me for one thing before I can transfer the command to Your Highness." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhu Youzhen didn't understand that the command was handed over to him by Qin Yongnian, so what conditions would he talk about now?

"Your Highness can only strategize, not charge. The charge was left to General Ben. "Qin Yongnian did not let Zhu Youzhen go to the battlefield for a reason, Zhu Youzhen is a prince, of course his identity is not comparable to ordinary officers and soldiers, Zhu Youzhen is a minor, social experience and battlefield experience are obviously insufficient, although he has a set of training soldiers and boosting morale, if he really wants to go to the battlefield, he doesn't care about you, in case the soldiers are defeated, Zhu Youzhen's life will be in danger.

Whether or not they can annihilate the Japanese is secondary, and protecting Zhu Youzhen should be put in the first place. If Zhu Youjian is injured on the battlefield, it is not a matter of dismissal and investigation, and the sentence is light.

"If you don't charge, then you are still called a general? Besides, the Fenwu Battalion does not know the situation of the Japanese invaders now, and if they do not go to the battlefield, how can they get the specific situation of the Japanese invaders? "Although it is a bit dangerous to go to the battlefield, Zhu Youzhen has the Void Pole Divine Skill in his body, which is just right to protect himself.

Besides, the Japanese are mobile combat, and they rarely stay in the same place for a long time, and the Fenwu Battalion does not have a special interrogation now, if you wait in the rear, and wait for the news from the front to arrive, the daylily will be cold.

"Then ......" Qin Yongnian was still not worried about Zhu Youzhen's safety, but Zhu Youzhen made sense, as the commander of the Fenwu Battalion, of course he knew the importance of first-hand information, "Then take the special combat team as His Highness's personal soldiers." Your Highness, don't make it difficult for General Ben. ”

"Then, I'll thank the commander." Although the special combat team was formed and trained by Zhu Youzhen, after all, it was a person from the Fenwu Battalion, and if it was a personal soldier, it should be regarded as Qin Yongnian's personal soldier. Since Qin Yongnian was polite, Zhu Youzhen had to reluctantly accept it, they were also part of Zhu Youzhen's hard work, and they would be able to use it in the future, whether it was war or construction.

At dawn, the terrible trumpets disturbed the soldiers' dreams, and they quickly got dressed and got up, and arrived in the dining hall five minutes later. Because they had to travel, the soldiers' breakfast was mainly dry, with all-you-can-eat white flour steamed buns, plus a bowl of porridge and a bowl of green vegetables and tofu, and a few pieces of oily meat in the bowl.

Zhu Youzhen's mobilization meeting yesterday was very successful, and the soldiers were not nervous before the war, and some soldiers even joked, estimating how many Japanese soldiers they could kill, how many war exploits they could make, how many silver taels they could distribute, and whether they would be able to marry a white and tender girl.

Breakfast was only two quarters of an hour, and after breakfast, the soldiers again sorted out their modest packing.

The transport trucks loaded with spare grain, grass, and equipment set off for Jinan yesterday, and they only needed to prepare the weapons they used and the dry food they would eat on the road.

In fact, there are tea houses and restaurants all the way to Jinan, but the Fenwu battalion is in a hurry, and there is definitely no time to rest during the day, and it will only stop at night, so the soldiers have to prepare dry food for the day.

The camp gate slowly opened, and the soldiers of the Fenwu battalion lined up and rushed out in a row, heading straight for Jinan.

Originally, the Fenwu Battalion had 9,600 soldiers, plus officers, and more than 10,000 soldiers, but because of the problem of empty salaries, it now has only more than 6,000 people. However, Zhu Youzhen didn't mind, dealing with just 2,000 Japanese pirates, 6,000 soldiers was enough.

It is now early autumn, except for a little stuffy in the morning, the temperature is not too high, just suitable for the soldiers to hurry, but after a while, the weather is gradually getting hot, and the soldiers who are running at high speed, the sweat on their bodies is constantly dripping on the dust raised by the horses' hooves, so that the dust raised falls back to the ground because of gravity, and the soldiers behind are less choking.

Most of the soldiers of the Fenwu Battalion were on the battlefield for the first time, and Qin Yongnian and Zhu Youzhen did not urge them along the way, but several thousand generals did not give in to each other, scrambling to be the first, and no one was willing to drag the retreat of the Fenwu Battalion.

On the evening of the third day, the vanguard cavalry guards rushed to Jinan under the personal leadership of Qin Yongnian and Zhu Youzhen, and the follow-up infantry guards were estimated to arrive in an hour.

Shandong Governor Lu Chunru greeted Qin Yongnian and Zhu Youzhen at the governor's yamen: "Shandong's misfortune shook the Beijing Division, and there were General Lao Qin and General Wang. He didn't know that Wang Xin was Zhu Youzhen, the king of the Ming Dynasty, so although he said it politely, his tone was flat, and he looked like he was completely businesslike.

If it weren't for the fact that the Shandong soldiers couldn't contain the Japanese and needed to use the Fenwu Battalion, with his status as a civilian official, there was no need to welcome the generals at all, that is, Qin Yongnian and Zhu Youzhen wanted to see him, and it depended on his mood, and it was uncertain whether he could see him.

"I've been waiting for a long time. Soldiers are those who defend their families and the country, and they can't be said to be tired. Qin Yongnian bowed his hand, he is a professional soldier, usually far away from politics, he is not grateful for Lu Chunru's welcome, he is neither humble nor arrogant, and he also looks like he is doing business.

"Lord Lu, where is Lord King of Shandong?" Zhu Youzhen hoped to know first-hand information about the Japanese invaders, and this general soldier, who had fought several battles with the Japanese invaders, should have the most right to speak.

"Lord Wang personally arranged for the soldiers of the Fenwu Battalion to rest in the barracks, and they will be there in a while." Lü Chunru thought that Wang Huai'an personally arranged the soldiers of the Fenwu Battalion to curry favor with the two generals of the reinforcements.

But in the face of more than 100,000 Shandong soldiers who can't encircle and suppress the Japanese bandits, what's the use of a mere 6,000 Fenwu battalion? Although the combat effectiveness of the Jingshi Army is higher than that of the Shandong Army, it will not be much stronger, and Qin Yongnian and Wang Xin will inevitably return to the fate of the feathers, and there is really no need to tie up.

Could it be that the general of the defeated army can still speak in the military department?

"General Qin, General Wang, Wang is late." Wang Huai'an really arrived soon, his voice is not small, if he sets up a stall or something on the street, he probably doesn't need a megaphone.

He saluted Qin Yongnian and Zhu Youzhen as he spoke, looking familiar, as if the Fenwu Battalion was not here to fight, but to travel, and he happened to meet his old acquaintance in Jinan.

"There's Lord Lao." Qin Yongnian returned the courtesy, people care about their subordinates, even if it is for show, this face account still has to be given, besides, if you talk about the level, Wang Huai'an is the general soldier of Shandong, and he is the second grade, which is two levels higher than his commander of the third grade.

Zhu Youzhen didn't return the salute, he was looking at this often defeated general, taller, narrow shoulders and belly, slightly dark skin, two eyes and bones turned straight, although he didn't squint, but he could take every move around him in his eyes at all, obviously a person who was good at drilling camps.

Because he is a often defeated general, Zhu Youzhen has a very bad impression of him, this kind of person, in addition to accumulating wealth for himself, is to promote himself. "General Wang is fighting on the front line in Shandong, please tell me about the specific situation of the Japanese pirates, how many people there are, what is the combat effectiveness, whether it is a regular army, and where it is now."

"The military situation is like fire, General Wang really cares about the people of Shandong! Ha ha! Wang Huai'an didn't care about Zhu Youzhen's faux pas, "There were originally more than 2,000 Japanese invaders, but after the fighting of the Shandong army, there are now less than 2,000. They were all samurai, using swords, fighting bravely, fearless of death, and often a single charge could crush a thousand households of our army. They do not occupy cities, but only enter them to plunder. The Wako have now crossed Shouguang and entered the Qingzhou territory. Wang Huai'an's grasp of the situation of the Japanese is similar to Zhu Youzhen's conjecture, but his description is not salty or light, and people who don't know still think that he is the commander of the reconnaissance company, as if the rout of the Shandong soldiers that has happened has nothing to do with him.

It's not that it doesn't matter, it's related, and he's a meritorious person. There were originally more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers, but after fighting with the Shandong army, there are now less than 2,000 people, and the few Japanese who have lost this are the Shandong army, which is the great achievement of his Shandong general army.
