Chen Wang led the troops out of the barracks, clasped his hands into fists and was about to salute, but Wang Zhaolan was already walking over in a hurry.

"Mr. Chen Qian, some time ago, the residents in the city were panicked and uneasy, and it was difficult to allocate materials, so they were short of grain and grass."

"Now that the city is settled, there will never be a shortage of supplies in the future."

Wang Zhaolin trembled when he walked, and as soon as he said a few words, the sweat was already dripping down, even if he couldn't stop holding the fan, he still couldn't beat the heat.

"It's normal to be busy, the county respects regardless of the past, and now the meat and food are being sent, it's too late to be grateful."

The Ming Dynasty was respected and humble, although Chen Wang couldn't understand that Wang Zhaolan, as a magistrate, actually put his posture so low, and he made a sincere statement in front of him, and said gratefully.

"Mr. Chen Qian is too polite, if there are any difficulties, just ask."

Wang Zhaolin kept fanning his fan and said with a smile.

"If it is necessary to recruit auxiliary soldiers and civilians, more than 2,000 people can be recruited immediately, and I have already ordered the officials in the city to deal with it first."

"In this way, thank you to the county."

Chen Wang doesn't know why, but the etiquette is still thoughtful.

"There are a lot of affairs in the county, and since the grain and grass have been delivered, the official will go back to the government office to handle official business first."

Wang Zhaolin didn't stay long, maybe because it was too hot and he felt extremely uncomfortable, or maybe he really had official business to deal with, and after finishing speaking, he led the official to leave.

Chen Wang symbolically took a few steps forward and stopped, as did the young general in the armor and red robe.

In fact, this is still a misunderstanding caused by Chen Wang's unfamiliarity with the officialdom at this time.

Wang Zhaolin, the magistrate of Chunhua County, was panicked because of the arrival of most of the rogues, and now that he received Hong Chengchou's order, he didn't dare to say anything more.

Hong Chengchou was originally appointed governor of the five provinces, but it was only the military affairs of the five provinces, and many things still could not be controlled.

However, the governor of the three sides served by Hong Chengchou can directly control the governors of the three provinces, and he is directly in charge.

Therefore, Hong Chengchou's order was passed down, and no one in the prefecture and county officials in Shaanxi dared not obey it.

If the emperor is offended, he will be reprimanded, and he can still gain a reputation as an upright and upright person in Shilin.

But if Hong Chengchou is offended, it is absolutely indispensable to be removed from office, and according to Hong Chengchou's personality, it will be difficult to recover in the future.

After Wang Zhaolin got into the official sedan chair, the general in the armor and red robe watched Wang Zhaolin leave, and then turned to Chen Wang and saluted.

"Luo Guizhong, the commander of the Xi'an avant-garde, has met President Chen Qian."

Chen Wang did not guess wrong, this general was none other than Luo Guizhong, the commander of the Xi'an avant-garde.

However, Chen Wang didn't expect Luo Guizhong to be so young and look like he was only in his early twenties.

Of course, this is extremely normal in the Guards, after all, the positions of the Guards are hereditary.

At the beginning of the Battle of Xi'an, there were many officers killed in the Weisuo army, and their heirs naturally had to fill the vacancy.

Chen Wang was neither humble nor arrogant, and returned a salute.

Luo Guizhong is the commander of Zheng Sipin, and he is two levels higher than him according to his official position, but he still has to be controlled by him.

Only the military position of the guard army, no matter how high the rank is, it is not much use, not only in the face of civilian officials, but also in the face of battalion officers.

The guards have been unbearable for a long time, not to mention the guards in the interior.

From Wang Zhaolin's actions just now, it can be seen how low the status of the officers of the Weisuo Army is.

A county that is seven grades does not take it into account.

"The rogue in the north is eyeing the tiger, and the time is pressing, so I won't be polite."

In the face of Luo Guizhong, Chen Wang naturally did not claim to be subordinate anymore.

The guards and battalions are not in the same system, and the two sides are not subordinate to each other.

"The military gate has issued an order and ordered me to preside over the defense of Chunhua, I need to know how the city defense preparations are in Chunhua City now."

Although Luo Guizhong looks young, the Weisuo army has been unbearable for a long time, but as a general, he still has basic military literacy, and he is now on the road.

"There are still about 2,000 roots in the rolling wood city, and there is a quarry in the south of the city.

"But there is almost no ordnance in the city, the artillery in the city is outdated, and no one dares to use it in the guards, and if you can't shoot a few shots, you are afraid that it will explode."

Chen Wang's face was slightly gloomy, and most of the Liao soldiers in the battalion were now routed.

On the way to escape, almost all the armor was lost, and most of the swords and bows and arrows were hung on the saddles, so most of the people's sabers were still there, and the bows and arrows were not discarded.

However, the arrows were distributed to everyone, and I am afraid that there were only more than twenty feathered arrows.

Now there are a total of 57 armor leaders in the battalion, and there are more than 60 family soldiers under his command, adding up to more than 100 people.

These 100 people can play very little role on the battlefield of tens of thousands of people.

The difference between wearing armor and not wearing armor is entirely two orders of magnitude.

Although many of the iron armor worn by the Ming Army of the Nine Sides is short of clothes and materials, it is still difficult to cause any damage to ordinary swords, slashes and spears.

Therefore, in the early days of the popular uprising, a small number of Ming troops were able to chase tens of thousands of Liukou and flee from place to place, repeatedly outnumbering the crowd.

But the current situation is reversed.

Chen Wang's expression was gloomy, Sanshui City fell, Zhang Waijia died, and thousands of Liao soldiers fell into the city.

However, the biggest loss of the Ming army was the loss of thousands of pairs of armor and a large number of war horses and other ordnance.

Most of the armor on the ordinary battalion soldiers in Liaozhen is also iron armor, and with so many armor and war horses, Li Zicheng and Hui Deng can each arm seven or eight hundred elite horsemen.

Chen Wang asked Luo Guizhong some more questions.

But the follow-up Luo Guizhong's answer began to be a little ambiguous and stammered.

Chen Wang didn't say much to Luo Guizhong, and Luo Guizhong looked like a person who hadn't been on the battlefield much.

The information from his mouth is already enough, and he can't ask anything,

"You go and gather your soldiers and wait for me on the school grounds."

Luo Guizhong did send overnight to reconnoiter the enemy outside the city, but he was driven back by the rogue horse team.

After killing and wounding seven or eight cavalrymen, Luo Guizhong did not dare to send people out of the city again.

In other words, the situation outside the city is completely ignorant now.

The situation in Chunhua was far worse than Chen Wang had imagined.

The guards led by Luo Guizhong were all from the Xi'an avant-garde, and it was said that there were more than 3,000 people, but in fact there were more than 2,700 people.

Xi'an avant-garde is a guard in Xi'an Mansion, located in the Guanzhong Plain, near Xi'an Mansion.

At the beginning of the Battle of Xi'an, they battalioned troops out of the city to fight, and the guards in Xi'an Mansion were all auxiliaries, doing the work that the people needed to do.

Many of those military households even looked like homeless people than homeless, and some of them didn't even wear shirts, they were naked.

is the main army in Weizhong, many of the military uniforms worn by them have long been washed and turned white, and there are even soldiers with patches.

The weapons they hold are also varied, and they have everything.

Chen Wang has even seen a guard army holding an antique firearm that may be from the Longqing period.

That is, those thousands of households and the family members under the command of the commander are still somewhat combat-powerful, and the armor and weapons are quite sophisticated, and they can barely be seen.
