Chapter 21: Steady

Cao Wenzhao didn't ask too much, and basically gave advice and teaching, explaining some military affairs that need to be paid attention to and arranged by leading soldiers.

Knowing this information, this also solved Chen Wang's urgent need, he had no experience in the military, and he didn't know the bends and turns.

For the understanding of the military in this era, that is, I read a few military books when I was in college, but I haven't finished reading them, and Ji Xiaoxin's book is only half of it.

And even if you understand, these are just words on paper, if you are only in charge of a team of more than ten people, Chen Wang feels that he is completely competent, and he should be able to quickly get started by being in charge of a flag of more than 30 people.

But now Cao Wenzhao suddenly put him in charge of hundreds of people, and he also needs to be responsible for his training, marching, garrisoning and other affairs, and he really feels a little pressure.

For these things, Chen Wang can be said to have no experience at all.

However, Cao Wenzhao naturally knew this, so leaving him behind was talking about these military affairs.

After chatting from dusk until the sky outside was completely dark, Chen Wangcai left the position of the Chinese army.

When I walked to the door, I happened to meet Cao Dingjiao, who was wearing armor and had just returned from a camp.

"I've seen the guards."

Chen Wang first got out of the way, and then bowed and bowed respectfully to Cao Dingjiao.

In military law, when you meet a direct superior, you must get off your horse and give way, and bow your hand to greet you.

If it is a non-direct official, you still have to get off the horse and let Dao Li wait.

Cao Dingjiao did not walk directly, but stopped.

"In the first eight innings, four of the hundred total were killed, and the three innings in the front were all trapped in the enemy's position, and the other five innings were also killed and wounded."

Cao Dingjiao sighed, in a battle during the day, the casualties were too heavy.

The two generals in the front were killed and wounded, and Sun Anmin, the head of the thousand, suffered several wounds in his body, but fortunately the armor was strong and did not penetrate too deep into the flesh, but now they are still lying on the bed, and they can't handle military affairs for the time being.

"There were quite a lot of casualties in the front, and now the morale is sluggish, you go to take over the seventh game, the way for the hundred generals of their bureau to withdraw is gone, and when they charged, they were pierced through the armor by the fire gun and hit in the stomach."

"There are eighty-four soldiers in the seventh bureau, which is not full, and it is temporarily managed by Tang Shiping, the deputy general manager of the bureau, and the station is in the southeast corner of the camp."

"I went to the front and announced your appointment, go back to the guard camp today to rest, and then take over the army tomorrow."

Chen Wang bowed his head and answered, his face solemn and clenched his fists.

"Thank you for the guards, and you should do your best."

Cao Dingjiao personally went to the front to announce this matter, undoubtedly for him to stand on the platform.

When the time comes, he will encounter much less resistance when he takes over the affairs of the bureau and the department.

Cao Dingjiao patted Chen Wang's shoulder and encouraged.

"If there's anything you don't understand about military affairs, just come and ask me."

Just took two steps, Cao Dingjiao suddenly seemed to remember something, turned his head and said again.

"By the way, when you go to the post of President Bai, you will inevitably need a few capable people around you, and you can choose a few people from the people around you, as long as you are willing."

"Humble duty understands."

Chen Wang saluted again, then stood in place and watched Cao Dingjiao walk into the courtyard, and then took another step.

Military law is harsh, and subordinates must wait for their superiors to go far before they can continue to move forward, which is to show respect.

Chen Wang remembered these military methods, and to be precise, basically the soldiers under Cao Wenzhao remembered that they were ripe.

There are many illiterate people in the army, but there are indeed no people in the army who cannot remember military law.

The military laws of the Ming army varied, and half of them were formulated by the generals according to the actual situation of the battalion.

In general, the military law in all armies is extremely strict, and it is tied up at every turn, military sticks, and even corporal punishment such as cutting off the nose and ears.

When Chongzhen was four years old, Kong Youde led the army to Wuqiao, but due to heavy rain and snow, the troops were not well fed.

Someone in the army stole a chicken, but it was just a chicken, and he was punished by the military law for "piercing the arrow camp", which eventually triggered the Wuqiao Mutiny.

Of course, strict military law does not mean that the enforcement is strict, and there are very few armies that can strictly manage the army, and corruption of military discipline is the norm.

Bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like grates; It's just ordinary.

Chen Wang pressed the Yanling knife on his waist, walked out of the courtyard gate, and walked towards the guard camp not far away.

The town was brightly lit, and Cao Wenzhao set up camp based on the remaining buildings after the fire, and the sentry posts echoed each other, and the patrols were almost all in positions where they could see each other.

After listening to the experience imparted by Cao Wenzhao today, Chen Wang found a lot of details hidden in it after taking a closer look.

Now Chen Wang regrets that he didn't finish reading the new book of Ji Xiao in the first place.

"The New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" has detailed explanations from restraining the army to commands, banners, marching, and camping, and if you read the whole book patiently at that time, I am afraid that it will be more than enough to be a thousand presidents.

But there is still a chance, and when you enter the big city, you can see if you can get a copy of "Ji Xiao New Book".

Walking on the road of the camp, the down-to-earth feeling made Chen Wang's heart settle down a little.

The sound of insects in my ears was loud, and the flames in the braziers on both sides of the road swayed slowly in the breeze.

Chen Wang slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and looked up at the vast stars in the sky.

He had already achieved his first goal - to rise from a family member to an officer.

Although the danger was far greater than he had expected, the benefits now far exceeded his original expectations.

When the number of troops is replenished, he will be the commander of the first division at that time, and he will directly become a middle-level officer.

It is not so easy to obtain the military merits needed from the general to the general manager, and many of the general managers are still the general managers after a long battle, and their positions are motionless.

It's just that even if he becomes the general, it is still insignificant and not enough in the torrent of the times.

He still needs to keep climbing up and keep moving forward.

In general, there are also thousands of generals, garrisons, guerrillas, generals, deputy commanders, and commanders.

Chen Wang clenched the Yanling knife on his waist, it was just a general position, and it was far from enough.

The total autonomy is too low, and you can only follow the actions of the army.

The limitations of the battalion are also very fatal, and as a battalion, they do not have a permanent place now.

All military expenditures, money and food must be allocated by the imperial court, and they are completely subject to the imperial court.

Even though Chen Wang now has some ways to make money in his mind.

But now they have no fixed residence, they have been chasing the rogues, and they are constantly wandering around the place, but they can't settle down at all, and they can't settle down, and any way to make money is in vain.

Chen Wang shook his head, clearing the messy emotions in his mind.

He remembered that there was no major fighting in the following month or two of this war, and it was in a period of stability.

Hong Chengchou has been stationed in Xi'an Mansion because of the lack of troops, and the Ming army has not made any major moves.
