……………………………………

Half a month ago, Feng Jian led the Zhenshan battalion to defeat Kong Youde's rebels, returned triumphantly, and was welcomed by the officials and gentry of Pingdu City to the common people at the gate of the city.

The officials and gentry of Pingdu City, such as Chen Suowen and Fang Zengwei, even set up a wind pavilion two miles outside the city in advance to welcome Feng Jian and the officers and soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion under his command.

Feng Jian and all the soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion repelled the invading Kong Youde rebels, and naturally became heroes in the eyes of the people of Pingdu City.

The wealthy businessmen and gentry in the city have donated money and materials to the Zhenshan camp to labor the army, and the people in the city came to the temporary station of the Zhenshan camp in groups to thank the soldiers of the Zhenshan camp for repelling the rebels and rescuing the people in the city at dawn.

In the past few days, Feng Jian and other generals of the Zhenshan battalion have been invited by the officials and gentry in the city to participate in various banquets to celebrate the defeat of the rebels by several times their own with fewer victories and more victories. Together with the rebel general Chen Guangfu, he had already gone to Beijing on his way, and the officials and gentry of Pingdu City benefited from this battle, so they were really grateful to Feng Jian and his generals.

After a few days of chaos, the Zhenshan battalion began to get back on track, and the Zhenshan battalion gained a lot from the confrontation with Kong Youde's rebels, capturing 36 taels of rebel chariots and 256 Franc machines. There were 1,989 war horses, and countless weapons and armor of all kinds. More than 7,600 rebel infantry cavalry were captured, including more than 1,600 cavalry. The remaining 6,000 men were all infantry.

After harvesting so many soldiers and materials at once, Feng Jian naturally planned to expand the Zhenshan camp with great fanfare, but who knew that he was woken up by a scoop of cold water smelled by his father-in-law Chen.

Chen only told Feng Jian one sentence: "The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty!" ”

The Zhenshan Battalion was unknown before, but now it suddenly shows its powerful combat power, which will naturally attract a lot of concerns, and now the Zhenshan Battalion does not have the capital to be proud of the world, and acting low-key is the best way to protect itself.

Although the old man's analogy was a bit exaggerated, it made Feng Jian sober. With his current thousands of men and shallow background, he really has no high-profile capital to the outside world, and the imperial court only needs to transfer and use his thousands of soldiers and horses, unless he rebels like Kong Youde, he can only obediently obey the order!

In fact, Feng Jian also knew that after the battle of Pingdu City, the Zhenshan Camp would inevitably attract ill-intentioned eyes from all sides, and at first he thought that the Zhenshan Camp did not want the imperial court to spend a penny to support it. With the strength shown by the Zhenshan Battalion's victory over Kong Youde's rebels, no one could order the Zhenshan Battalion to do what they did not want to do.

Now that I think about it, I am too wishful thinking, after all, this is the world of the Ming Dynasty, and I am still a four-rank military attache rewarded by the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, if you don't follow the orders of the organization, you will naturally not end up well!

After thinking about it, Feng Jian immediately humbly asked his father-in-law for advice. This Ming Dynasty official who has been rolling in officialdom for a long time must have corresponding countermeasures.

Chen Suowen understands that his son-in-law is young and has superior knowledge and strategy. There is one point, everything is biased towards military and dangerous moves. He believed that once some people in the imperial court were concerned about Feng Jian's Zhenshan camp, Feng Jian would probably follow the same path as Kong Youde.

Of course, this is what Chen did not want to see, so he specially asked Feng Jian to warn him in advance that the Zhenshan camp might be remembered, and he was not guilty, and he was guilty, which thoroughly explained the situation that Feng Jian was facing now.

Chen Suowen originally thought that it would be difficult to persuade Feng Jian, but who knew that Feng Jian had already experienced all kinds of conspiracies such as picking fruits and stumbling under stumbles in later generations, and he had long been immune to this kind of thing.

Hearing Feng Jian ask him how to resolve the open guns and hidden arrows from all sides, Chen Suowen secretly admired, how could he have such a bearing when he was as old as Feng Jian, his son-in-law was really unusual, and he had to go all out to guide and take care of him at this point!

Chen Suowen twisted his chin and beard, and said to Feng Jian with a smile: "There is no need to worry about this matter, the emperor and the soldiers are troubled by the rebels in Denglai Town, but at this time, your Zhenshan battalion can defeat Kong Youde's 20,000 rebels and weaken the strength of the rebels, which is definitely a heart booster for the anxious princes of the imperial court. And those who are worried about the strong army under your command will not do it for the time being, and you have to use this time to increase your strength, and when others want to eat you, they find that they have no way to eat. ”

Seeing Feng Jian listening attentively to his analysis, he felt even more comfortable, and continued: "The old man doesn't know much about the internal situation of your Zhenshan Battalion, but I want to remind you that the Zhenshan Battalion should not be too large, and too many soldiers are most likely to arouse the vigilance of the outside world. Remember not to put all your eggs in one basket. These soldiers of yours will not have the imperial court's food and salary subsidy, don't expose all their strength, and the explosion of combat power at a critical moment is the king! ”

Naturally, he was grateful for Chen Suowen's slap drink, and assured Chen Suowen on the spot that he would properly deal with the matter that people were worried about in the earthquake camp.

After coming out of the temporary official office of Haiphong Road, Feng Jian began to think about how to reconfigure the configuration of the officers and soldiers under his command!

On June 27, the fifth year of Chongzhen, it was already dog days, and the weather was so hot and humid that people couldn't breathe, and even the cicadas on the trees seemed weak.

From the beginning of the morning, cheers and cheers were heard from time to time on the training ground of the Zhenshan Battalion, and those soldiers who could lift 500 catties of stone locks and wield 80 catties of broadswords would always win the applause of the soldiers who were watching.

The rebels who were captured half a month ago on the training ground were divided into more than 10 phalanxes, where they were all tested for the qualification of the soldiers of the Earthquake Mountain Battalion, and the rebel soldiers who met the selection criteria of the Earthquake Mountain Battalion were selected for the Earthquake Mountain Battalion.

Most of these captives were bandits and bandits within a radius of Denglai, and most of them were sturdy men, because Kong Youde led his troops to rebel and came to follow. All I want is to have enough food and clothing for the family.

In the past six months, Zheng Qing, the chief supervisor of the Zhenshan Battalion, specially dispatched sharp-tongued supervisors from all levels of the Zhenshan Battalion to go deep into the prisoner of war camp to carry out propaganda and supervision.

It was learned through the propaganda of the supervisor. Most of the soldiers in the Zhenshan Battalion were born as bandits like them, so they naturally had a sense of closeness to the Zhenshan Battalion. In addition, through the propaganda of the supervisor of the earthquake mountain camp, it was learned that a series of generous benefits of the earthquake mountain camp quickly made the more than 7,000 prisoners get rid of their panic and anxiety, and turned to yearn to become a member of the earthquake mountain camp.

Standing on the side of the training ground, Feng Jian carefully observed the prisoner of war soldiers conducting the test, and he found that most of the soldiers were rushing to participate in the camp entrance test of the earthquake mountain camp.

Seeing these Feng Jian relieved, it seems that many supervisors have played a great role in propaganda and guidance during this time, and the generous welfare benefits of the Zhenshan Battalion have formed a huge attraction for these rebels to surrender their troops.

More than 7,000 captives can select at least 5,000 qualified soldiers, and with this batch of fresh blood to join. The Zhenshan Battalion can be expanded by at least 5,000 headquarters.

Of course, it is impossible for the Zhenshan battalion to accommodate so many men and horses, and it is necessary to reorganize the army under its command, and after some consideration, Feng Jian decided to separate the different arms of the army into separate military units, and at the same time continue to improve the system of supervisors in each military unit, and further improve the various military regulations and laws in the army.

In fact, what Chen heard was right, it is precisely because the Zhenshan Camp does not have the capital to stand out from the crowd now, so the Zhenshan Camp must develop in a low-key manner at this stage. Use all means to expand the scale of the earthquake mountain camp, enhance the foundation of the earthquake mountain camp, and wait until the earthquake mountain camp is really strong, just ask who in the world dares to doubt! Who would dare to underestimate it!

Actually, before the recruitment of this group of captives. As a simple barracks, the Camp has long contained many things beyond itself, and the Camp is becoming less and less like a barracks and more like a complex military organization.

Feng Jian had always planned to restore the Zhenshan Battalion to a simple war barracks. However, due to the imminent attack of Kong Youde's rebels, the issue of the separation and restructuring of the Zhenshan Battalion has been delayed. Now Pingdu City is finally out of trouble. It's just time to re-divide the soldiers of the Earthquake Mountain Battalion!

It was nearly noon, and a loud military horn sounded at the station of the earthquake mountain camp. This was a signal for the soldiers to stop training and eat lunch, and the selection of recruits in the morning was temporarily suspended, and the prisoners of war were brought back to the prisoner of war camp for dinner, and the selection continued after noon.

Feng Jian returned to the meeting hall of the battalion headquarters, Huang Jinjiang had already prepared lunch for Feng Jian, and there was a bowl of milk, a bowl of oily braised pork, a bowl of green vegetables and tofu, and two half-pound steamed buns on the table.

In the Zhenshan Battalion, no matter how big the official position is, the food is the same, and the rules set by Feng Jian himself are naturally no exception, so his lunch is the same as that of ordinary soldiers.

Of course, this lunch is nothing in the eyes of the rich gentry, but in the eyes of many ordinary soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion who can't even eat, it is a fairy-like life, and meat and big steamed buns are not good things that can only be eaten during the New Year's holidays, not to mention that there is a supply of sweet milk for every meal.

The soldiers of the Earthquake Mountain Battalion were surprised to find that because they often drank milk and ate meat, they now had a lot less pain from beating during the night march, and the soldiers' eyesight was generally able to see their surroundings clearly.

Feng Jian simply ate a few bites of food, and instructed Huang Jinjiang to go and summon the officers above the Zhenshan Battalion to come to the meeting, and after a while, Xu Yannian, Zhao Shougang, Shen Xiaoshan, Zhou Wei, Fan Li, Huang Fuchun, Jiao Keli and other Zhenshan Battalion Commanders came to the meeting hall.

One by one, he saluted Feng Jian, and among the people, Shen Xiaoshan was the most lively, and said with a grin: "Huang Jinjiang was in a hurry just now, and his subordinates didn't have time to eat, so they had to rub the commander to eat." ”

Feng Jian smiled slightly, glanced at Huang Jinjiang and said, "This is my negligence, I guess a few of them haven't had time to eat!" ”

Seeing that all the thousands of presidents nodded one after another, they grinned and said: "Huang Jinjiang is not doing things well, punish him for cooking for everyone, everyone will have lunch in the conference hall, and the official still has important things to discuss with you, just talk while eating." ”

Huang Jinjiang had a bitter face, how could he blame himself for this matter, it was obviously the commander's urgency, he was just acting on orders, but now he let himself be a scapegoat. Hey, it's a hard life!

Seeing that all the thousands of presidents were smiling and looking at themselves, Huang Jinjiang smiled bitterly: "It's not right to affect all the thousands of presidents, so I'll give you food." ”

Shen Xiaoshan, Zhao Shougang and the others watched Huang Jinjiang lead people away, and they all showed good-natured smiles, and Shen Xiaoshan said loudly: "Trouble Captain Huang Wei, I want two meals!" ”

Huang Jinjiang, who had just walked to the door of the conference hall, stumbled and almost fell!! (To be continued......)
