The Sheng family is also a prominent family in Youyang, and the daughter cultivated will naturally not be the woman who is rude and willful and doesn't understand anything, especially Sheng Shulan, the eldest daughter of the Sheng family.

Although he met someone unladylike, he married Sun Xiucai, who could only drink and have fun, and asked for flowers and willows, but the ability of a housekeeper director was the true inheritance of his mother Sheng Li.

The dyeing workshop jointly opened by Xiao Wei's and Shulan and Wang Li's seems to be Xiao Wei's in charge, but in fact, it is Shulan who really takes charge of the overall situation.

To put it simply, Xiao Wei is the department manager, Shulan is the general manager and CEO, and Wang Li is one of the shareholders.

After all, the yarn mill and cloth mill of Jihai are now shipped in large quantities, almost occupying nearly one-third of the market in Quanzhou, making the price of local cloth and garments in Quanzhou drop sharply, and the merchants can not help but complain, but the people are cheering.

The price of salt is already like this, a large number of sea salt in the salt field is the first to pour into the same Quanzhou local often give, so that the price of salt falls, countless salt merchants hate Wang Chong to the bones, and even sent several killers to assassinate Wang Chong, but unfortunately Wang Chong's martial arts are superb, the five senses are keen, the killer just approached Wang Chong's body ten steps, was detected by Wang Chong.

Several assassinations ended in failure, but several salt merchants were involved, Wang Chong and Chen Jun were not indecisive people, and directly dispatched troops to the door, raided homes and arrested people, and added millions of dollars to the state treasury.

On the fifth day of the first month of March, Wang Chong rushed to the Xinghua army north of Quanzhou with Yu Chuer and more than ten escorts.

"Who's coming?" Outside the gate, the sergeant on duty stopped Wang Chong and his party.

"Blind your dog's eyes, I don't even know Lao Tzu!" Ma Feng is the commander of a battalion of the Xinghua Army, and he is also one of the chief officers of the two battalions of soldiers and horses who are currently transferred to Quanzhou.

"I've seen the horse commander!" Ma Feng was stuck in the crowd just now, and the rest of the people were all fresh faces, and the sergeants on duty didn't notice him for the first time, so there was the previous scene!

"You ........." Ma Feng was about to attack, but was stopped by Wang Chong's voice.

"I'm here for another important matter, so I don't have to worry about it!"

Wang reopened his mouth, Ma Feng immediately clenched his fists, and then turned his head to the army on duty and said loudly: "This lord is the general judge of Quanzhou, and he is also the new deputy commander of the Xinghua Army. ”

"The lowly duty has seen the general judgment, the general judgment will be waited, and the lowly duty will report it!" The sergeant obviously did not expect Wang Chong's arrival to be so big, hurriedly saluted and apologized, and then pulled out his legs and ran into the barracks.

The remaining sergeants looked at Wang Zhong curiously, the Xinghua Army is adjacent to Quanzhou, and is responsible for guarding the entire Fujian on weekdays.

After a while, a middle-aged general who looked about forty years old and had a somewhat bloated figure greeted him with a smile on his face.

The person who came was none other than Wang Wu, the commander of the Xinghua Army: "Wang Tong's sentence is coming, and the lower officials have lost their welcome, and they have missed their welcome, and they hope to forgive their crimes!" ”

Although the imperial court is not as important as the Zhao and Song dynasties in history, the power of civil servants to speak far exceeds that of military generals, let alone local, the governor of a state is in charge of all military affairs in the state!

Although Wang Chong is not Zhizhou, the power in his hands is not below Zhizhou at all, and he is a real talent and hard worker, more importantly, in recent years, as the commander of the Xinghua Army, Yuan Wu has not made less oil and water, and he has not relied on eating military oil and drinking military blood like before, which has not only benefited but also earned reputation, maybe in a few years, he will be able to climb up again.

Wang Chong did not think that some civil officials who regarded themselves very highly, and felt that martial artists were inferior, and they were not worthy of lifting shoes for themselves, but said very politely: "Yuan Commander is polite, I waited for it suddenly!" ”

Yuan Wu hurriedly personally introduced Wang Zhong into the military tent and asked people to serve tea and snacks.

"The conditions in the army are poor, and where you are slow, you can forgive me if you want to be judged!" Yuan Wu is not a simple martial artist, he was also born in martial arts in his early years and has read a lot of books.

"You're welcome!"

Wang Chong smiled and arched his hand, and said straight to the point: "I am on the order of Chen Zhizhou this time, and I am here to find Yuan's instructions!" ”

"Oh?" Yuan Wu hurriedly asked, "I don't know what Chen Zhizhou commanded?" ”

Wang Chongdao: "Now that the Quanzhou Ship Division has been established, there will only be more and more ships, merchants, and people entering and leaving Quanzhou Bay in the future.

Moreover, the Quanzhou Ship Division has just been established, and it is inevitable that there will be some deficiencies in the area, and it is inevitable that people with a heart will take advantage of the reason to cause chaos, so that a large number of soldiers and horses must be stationed to patrol to deter those restless people, so as not to cause chaos! ”

Yuan Wu asked tentatively: "What does Chen Zhizhou mean, don't you want me to personally lead troops to Quanzhou Bay to station?" ”

"Definitely!" Wang Chong shook his head and said: "The Xinghua army is the Xinghua army in Fujian, and it is not the army in Quanzhou. ”

Yuan Wu breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel regretful in his heart, and immediately asked, "Then I don't know what arrangements Chen Zhizhou has?" ”

"The meaning of Zhizhou is to recruit people into an army in Quanzhou, train the villagers, and increase the establishment of five command battalions, two of which are stationed on the dock and responsible for the safety of the land, and the remaining three command battalions are the navy, which are stationed in the north and south of Quanzhou Bay to deter the Rongdi pirates, and when the time is ripe, they will play the official family and be promoted to the Xiang Army!"

Yuan Wu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The Xinghua Army only has a total of five commanders, will it be too many to add five commanders at this time?" ”

Wang Zhong knew what Yuan Wu was worried about, it was nothing more than that Quanzhou had its own army, otherwise they wouldn't need their Xinghua army, so how could they make oil and water up and down the Xinghua army!

Immediately said calmly: "Yuan Commander rest assured, Chen Zhizhou's meaning, but all the soldiers and horses stationed in Quanzhou are the same as before, and the expenses and salaries should be borne by Quanzhou, and Zhizhou still has an explanation, but this matter has to be nodded by Yuan Zhizhi!" ”

Looking at Wang Chong, who suddenly had a mysterious face, Yuan Wu asked suspiciously: "Please also make a judgment!" ”

Wang Chongdao: "I have discussed with the general judge, and in the future, the two battalions of the Xinghua Army will be stationed in Quanzhou and rotated for half a year. ”

"Rotate on a six-month basis?" Yuan Wu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "Is this sentence true?" ”

"Does Commander Yuan think that Wang is talking about it and deceiving the commander?" Wang Chong's tone was still flat, but the gaze that went straight to the hearts of the people made Yuan Wu's body and mind tremble.

Yuan Wu hurriedly explained: "The general judgment was misunderstood, the lower official was just too surprised to hear the news for a while, and he lost his words for a while, forgive the general judgment!" ”

Yuan Wu only then reacted, Wang Chong is not those generals under his hands, but a local dignitary, holding heavy power, I heard that he has won the trust of Emperor Jiayou, and he was entrusted with a heavy task at a young age, the key is not those embroidered pillows that are not used, and he is a commander of the Xinghua Army, a guerrilla general from Wupin, how

"Don't be nervous!" Wang Zhong smiled and said: "I don't know what Fang Cai Wang said, what is the intention of Yuan Commander?" ”

"The lower officials will give their full support!" Yuan Wu immediately expressed his position, and his attitude was very resolute.

Wang Chong arched his hand again and said: "I almost forgot, the ordnance needed by the new army has to be provided by Commander Lao Fuyuan!" ”

"Huh?" Yuan Wu was really stunned now, how could there be any ordnance? But looking at Wang Chong with a smiling face, thinking of what Fang Cai himself had just said for his help, Yuan Wu suddenly felt as if he had entered Wang Chong's trap, and he was calculated clearly.

Yuan Wu suddenly had a toothache, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he could only say with a bitter face: "It's not that Yuan is unwilling to support it, but for a while, the army can't take out so many weapons!" ”

Wang Zhong waved his hand and said lightly: "It's okay, Zhizhou and I are not unreasonable people, Yuan Commander provides as much as he wants, as for the rest, Chen Zhizhou and I will figure it out by ourselves!" ”

Yuan Wu breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you for your understanding!" ”

Yuan Wu was really afraid that Wang Chong's unrelenting lion opened his mouth just now.

The two discussed some details, and Yuan Wu led Wang Zhong to the armory, bringing 200 iron armors, 300 paper armors, 300 crossbows, 300 strong bows, and countless other armor blades, and Yuan Wu personally sent a battalion of men and horses to help escort them.

Before leaving, Wang Chong couldn't help but remind Yuan Wudao again: "Now the imperial court doesn't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at Quanzhou, like before, eating empty salaries, and if the old and weak act as soldiers happen again, what will happen to it, presumably Yuan Commander knows it in his heart!" At that time, it can be said that Wang Mou is unpredictable! ”

After saying that, Wang Chong turned over and got on his horse, and left the Xinghua army garrison with people beating horses, leaving Yuanwu who was messy in the wind.

Things like Wang Chong's saying about eating empty salaries, drinking soldiers' blood, and even reselling ordnance are common and common in local armies such as the Xinghua Army, and most of the military attaches make money in this way.

Although Wang Zhong and Chen Jun are the highest governors of Quanzhou, the Xinghua Army does not belong to Quanzhou, and the transfer of troops into Quanzhou in the past was only a secondment, mainly because the local township soldiers in Quanzhou were not used, so they were seconded from the Xinghua Army, in order to garrison the dock and deter Xiaoxiao.

With the increasing development of Quanzhou, always relying on the Xinghua Army is not a long-term solution, after all, the Xinghua Army is not subordinate to Quanzhou, but the local government at the same level as Quanzhou, the imperial court has long stipulated, in addition to Kaifeng Mansion, although the name of the military supervisor of the state government is different, but they are all the third-level local government under the road, and the number of counties under the jurisdiction of each county or even more than a dozen counties is different.

Some of the army, prison or from the state capital, Xinghua Army is like this, in the early years belonged to Quanzhou, since the first emperor has been independent, under the jurisdiction of Xinghua, Xianyou, Putian three counties, with a box army of 5,000, that is, ten commands.

However, this number only stays on paper, the actual number of soldiers is far from enough, the two command battalions transferred to Quanzhou, are all made up by Yuanwu Dongping and Xipingxi, and the world has been peaceful for decades, even if there are wars, most of them are in the north, the south has been peaceful for a long time, the army has long been erosive, there are very few young and strong in the army, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and some are even old men with white hair and rickety.

These are things that everyone knows, but now Quanzhou has stood on the cusp, with the establishment of the Ship Division, it will only attract more and more attention, Xinghua Army and Quanzhou have been deeply involved, and naturally will also enter the eyes of others, if the court really investigates it, some things can not be hidden at all, and although Yuanwu is not a cold family, but it is not from a martial arts family, although there are people in the family who are officials, but the highest person in addition to him is only a Zhixian County, and the foundation is too deep in the court.

Seeing the truckloads of ordnance transported back to Quanzhou, Zhizhou Chen Jun couldn't help but smile on his face, stroked his beard and said: "In this way, Quanzhou is safe!" ”

"When it comes to military training, you have to pay more attention to my brother!" Chen Jun raised his glass and invited Wang Zhong to drink together.

Wang Chong also raised his glass and said: "Thanks to the trust of Ming Gong, I will be the liver and brain on the ground, and I will die!" ”

After listening to Wang Chong's assurance, the smile on Chen Jun's face became brighter, and he pulled Wang Chong to drink several cups before giving up.

Let Wang Chong train the army is not Chen Jun's temporary idea, but in the past few years, Wang Chong has nothing to do with the archers and village warriors under the jurisdiction of the Quanzhou Mansion to pull out the exercises, although it is only a few years of hard work, but it has made this group of village warriors change their appearance, just looking at their training posture, it is very different from ordinary village warriors.

Early the next morning, the announcement of the Yamen's recruitment of Xiangyong was posted, and at the same time, Chen Jun, who was the governor of Zhizhou, also ordered people to send military orders to the counties under the jurisdiction of Quanzhou, and ordered the county lieutenants to lead the county's archers and township warriors to Jinjiang to participate in the training within half a month.

Wang Chong believed that Fujian had been peaceful for many years, there was almost no war, and the counties and townships were brave and negligent in training, and it was difficult to exterminate even the bandits in the mountains.

Chen Jun is also an ideal and ambitious, many ideas coincide with Wang Chong, but he was limited to his own lack of ability, no money in his hands, and no powerlessness, but now Wang Chong is charging ahead, and there is the support of Quanzhou's abundant treasury, so he is naturally happy to support Wang Chong.

In late March, the county governors led 100 townships in their counties to gather in the west of Jinjiang City, and another 1,000 new township warriors from Jinjiang and Nan'an counties, totaling 1,500 people.

The township Yong of the remaining five counties was organized into a battalion, and the township Yong of the two counties of Jingjiang Nan'an was each a battalion, with a total of three battalions of men and horses.

"From today on, Dehua, Yongchun, Hui'an, Qingxi, Tong'an five counties and townships are brave for the third battalion in Quanzhou, Yongxiang in Tong'an Township is the second battalion in Quanzhou, and Yong in Jinjiang Township is the first battalion in Quanzhou, I don't care where you come from, how you used to train, but now that you have entered my Quanzhou battalion, then from today on, you are the people of my Quanzhou battalion, a matter of training, there will be someone to enter the camp to teach you, etc., after a month, a small ratio in the middle of the army, a big ratio every month!"

"Yu Chuer!"

"The subordinates are here!" Yu Chuer, who was also dressed in armor, came out of the ranks.

"Read the military law!"

"No!"

I saw Yu Chuer walking to the middle of the high platform, holding a scroll in his hand, opening it and reciting aloud: "Everyone, listen carefully!" ”

"One: Hearing the drum does not advance, smelling the gold does not stop, the flag cannot be raised, the flag is not subdued, this is called rebellion, and the offender is beheaded.

Two: The name should not be called, the time is not reached, the time limit is not reached, and the law of the division is changed, which is called a slow army, and the offender will be beheaded.

Three: Spread the battle at night, neglect and not report, and even more slowly, and the voice is unknown, which is called slacking the army, and the offender will be beheaded.

Four: complain more, anger its main general, do not listen to constraints, and teach it to be difficult to control, this is called forming an army, and the offender is beheaded

······”

"This is in addition to the seventeen prohibitions and fifty-four beheadings in the army, but those who commit crimes will be beheaded from the commander of a battalion to the sergeants and soldiers of the army!"

Yu Chuer's high-pitched voice was full of murderous aura, and the thirty law enforcement teams composed of Wang Chong's personal guards were all dressed in red armor, with long knives hanging from their waists, and their faces seemed to be terrifying.

"In addition, the monthly big competition in the army is when you compare your training results, the first place in each big competition, each person is rewarded consistently, even the length of the two runs, the first five, Yu Hou and the deputy commander eight times, the command of ten times, the last battalion, the punishment depends on the training situation!"

"In addition, every time there is a big competition, ten people with excellent comprehensive performance will be selected from among the soldiers, and from the first place to the tenth place, ten will be rewarded in turn to the consistent cash ······"

As soon as Yu Chuer's words about rewards and punishments came out, there was an uproar at the bottom, and the sergeants looked at Yu Chuer with bright eyes.

Yu Chuer stepped aside, and Wang Chong said loudly again: "Before the training, I once again declare that the training of the Quanzhou camp is completely different from the training you have experienced before, and the severity is comparable to hell, and it is still too late to regret quitting now, but if the training begins, there are those who retreat from the battle, and the military law will deal with it!" ”

There was silence for a while, and suddenly in the middle of the camp, a strong black man stood up and boldly asked, "Lord Tongju, is there really such a silver reward every month?" ”

"Nature is true! With my king's reassurance, don't you believe it? Wang Zhong said in a loud voice.

"We naturally believe the verdict!"

Someone else asked: "Lord Tongju, I heard that those salt workers in the salt field have two dry meals a day, and they can eat one meal of meat on five days, the villain wants to ask, can our food catch up with those salt workers?" ”

Wang Chonglang said: "Three dry meals a day, and braised pork in the evening!" ”

"Three dry meals, and braised pork in the evening?" As soon as Wang Chong's words came out, the eyes of more than a thousand people below flashed green light, like a hungry wolf seeing its prey.

"The soldiers of the first battalion know where the officer's home is, and if anyone fills his own pockets so that everyone can't eat meat, everyone can come to my house to look for me."

Wang Chong's words immediately set off a storm among the villagers, and everyone expressed their willingness to stay in the Quanzhou camp for training, and no one would know that what awaited them would be as hard training as hell.

Early the next morning, at seven o'clock, the wake-up call sounded, and the sergeants of the law enforcement team rushed into the camp tent with whips in their hands, and drove up the sergeants who were still sleeping in their beds like cattle, and one roar after another resounded over the entire barracks.

At the beginning of the day, the order began, Wang Zhong stood on the platform of the general, and the sergeant of the red armor law enforcement team took the roster and counted the Mao in turn.

"From today onwards, as soon as the trumpet sounds, you have to get up, and those who do not sound the trumpet three times will be regarded as late, and will be punished for running ten laps and doing one hundred push-ups! If you are late for more than a quarter of an hour, you are not allowed to eat for a day, remember? ”

All the soldiers had different faces, but they all nodded and shouted "remember".

But this is just the tip of the iceberg of hellish training, Wang Chong has never trained soldiers, but in the world of "Fanghua" dungeon, he has been in the military camp for a long time, and he has also been on the battlefield, so he can be said to be familiar with the training of modern troops.

On the first day, let the sergeants of the law enforcement team lead the three battalions of men and horses to run and exercise, stand in a military posture, teach everyone the rules of life in the army, explain various punishments, and in the next few days, let the soldiers get used to the appropriate life in the army, and the most unacceptable thing for the soldiers is not the hard training, but the strict requirements for hygiene in the barracks.

Even the quilts had to be folded into tofu blocks, the beds had to be neat, the clothes had to be clean, and the shoes and socks had to be washed frequently.

After standing for a month, the military posture and queue finally let everyone distinguish the front and back, and the queue also initially saw the scale, at this time Wang Chongcai began to let the soldiers of the Xinghua Army enter the field, and began to train these villagers to distinguish the flags and orders according to the current army training methods.

After a long time, the villagers gradually got used to life in the barracks.

Just when Wang Chong was training Xiangyong in Quanzhou, Tokyo, thousands of miles away, was not peaceful.

As said in the original book, Gu Er was upset about Yang Wuun when he was young, saying that the official family treated Yang Wudu too harshly by his brother Gu Tingyu to the official family, Gu Er was originally in the top three, but by Emperor Jiayou, he cut off the road to the imperial examination, so that he would take the exam after the age of fifty, just like Yang Wudu.

Gu Er made a big fuss in the Hou Mansion, broke up with Gu Hou unhappily, and moved out of the Hou Mansion and lived in Sweet Water Lane.

Changbai got the Jinshi as he wished, and he was also the first place in the second class, only one step away from the first class, it was a pity, Qi Heng and Changfeng also fell off the list as in the original book, among the Sheng family, because of the situation of the two brothers Changbai and Changfeng, there have also been a lot of changes, with the rise of Changbai, Wang Ruofu's right to speak has risen again, although Lin Yushuang is unwilling, but Changfeng is not angry, and can only temporarily keep his light and obscurity.

But Changfeng is not a safe person, he was hit hard after falling off the list, and more importantly, before the exam, he swore that he would definitely go to high school this time, but now he has fallen off the list, and his previous rhetoric has become a handle for others to make fun of him.

Sheng Hong was busy with Zhang Luo Changbai's family affairs, Changbai was also busy going on a blind date with his parents, Wang Ruofu didn't want to care, Lin Yushuang couldn't take care of it, the old lady lived her life in Shou'an Hall, Changfeng was suddenly uncontrolled, and slipped out of the door every day, eating wine and prostitutes with others, indulging in lust, and wanted to save his face through other ways.
