Chapter 125: Judge Advocate General
It only took seven days for Chen Wang to rush back to Chuxian in Hanzhong Province from Sanyuan in Xi'an Prefecture.
By the time I returned to the county, it was already the middle of December.
According to the Liukou Zhi, the most violent areas of the civil uprising in Hanzhong Prefecture were in the areas of Fengxian, Chaiguan, Liuba, and Baocheng, which is why they finally gathered in the east of Baocheng County.
Most of this line is on the Bao Slope Road, and Chen Wang also passed through the Bao Slope when he returned from Xi'an Mansion.
In order to prevent accidents, this time Chen Wang took more than 400 horses from Xianxian County to Xi'an Mansion to restore his life, and more than 400 riders were all double horses, and they did not stay long on the Bao ramp all the way.
After two rounds of the ramp, the difference between the first and the second is huge.
When I went to Xi'an Mansion to resume my life, I only heard that there were more and more bandits, and the road was becoming more and more unsmooth.
Many wealthy families and some merchants have been looted, and officers and soldiers are dispatching troops to suppress them.
But at that time, there were still many merchants and passers-by on the official road.
However, when I returned to Hanzhong Mansion, I didn't see many merchants along the way, and the only caravans I saw were extremely large, and the total number of guards and guards exceeded 100 people.
The checkpoint prefectures and counties along the road were full of young men and soldiers defending the city, their faces were mostly vigilant, and their eyes revealed panic.
The attack of the officers and soldiers of the Hanzhong Prefecture also reached a stalemate, and to be precise, they fell into a disadvantage.
After the black killing tiger Zhang Yuan engulfed a large number of surrounding people's troops, he highlighted that Xixiang swept all the way to the direction of Hanzhong Fucheng.
The officers and soldiers of Hanzhong Prefecture were caught off guard, turned to Buckwheat Mountain, and hurriedly set up a camp at the foot of Buckwheat Mountain.
Zhang Yuan made a decisive decision and personally led the troops to launch an attack when the officers and soldiers of Hanzhong Mansion were unstable and the army's morale was undecided.
The Hanzhong army was defeated, all the way to the retreat, until the retreat to Chenggu County to stabilize the situation.
When the news reached Nanzheng, Chen Wang happened to be passing by Nanzheng at that time, and when he heard the news, his mood was also much more stable.

The records in the history books are sometimes ambiguous, and it is the people who compile the books, and the records are also people, so it is inevitable that there will be mistakes.
There are many contradictions between the records in the "History of the Ming Dynasty" and the historical materials of the same period, and there are also unreasonable places, so when researching and verifying, it is necessary to combine multiple historical materials and the actual situation to calculate.
If there is a mistake in the record, then he may really have to be transferred to Xi'an.
Hong Chengchou is a person with a high status, holds great power, and has a deep mind, and being a general under his hands is no different from walking on thin ice.
He Renlong and Zuo Liangyu are both armed with heavy troops, and neither of them is a good person.
But when Hong Chengchou was under his command, they didn't dare to disobey, and they were all cautious for fear of making mistakes.
Even like Cao Wenzhao, as the chief soldier of a town, he must bow down in front of Hong Chengchou.
Although Hong Chengchou has improper morality, his ability is doubtful, and he has made great achievements in history, whether it was in the Ming Dynasty or after returning to the Qing Dynasty.
Because of this, Chen Wang didn't want to be a general under Hong Chengchou's nose.
Leading the troops under Hong Chengchou's nose, every move is bound to be watched by him, and what he wants to do will be known by him, and he has no autonomy at all.
Chen Wang didn't have any ability to fight against Hong Chengchou now.
However, Chen Wang also has an advantage that Hong Chengchou does not have.
Hong Chengchou could choose to directly suppress people with power without knowing the inside situation and transfer him to Xi'an Mansion.
But Hong Chengchou does not have the ability to predict the future, he does not know, and he can't calculate what kind of great changes will happen in Hanzhong Mansion in the next ten days.
Hanzhong Mansion, South of Chu County, Dingjun Mountain Camp.
This is the place where Chen Wang's soldiers are stationed, and the bandits in Ningqiang Prefecture have been quelled, but the camp has not moved for the time being.
At this time, in the Chinese military tent, Chen Gong sat on the right, Hu Zhiyi sat on the left, and then Tang Shiping and Zhao Huailiang, and the rest of the military academies were all robes and belts, sitting on both sides of the tent.
All the generals in the tent sat upright on their chairs, their backs straight, and their eyes did not squint.
The air in the tent was silent, no one spoke, no one moved, as if everything was frozen, and it was not an exaggeration to say that the needle could be heard in the big tent.
"Restore ————————"
First, the sound of horses' hooves exploded in everyone's ears. A very high neighing sound broke the silence in the tent.
All the military schools turned their heads in unison to look at the tent door.
And outside the tent also sounded at this time, a uniform shout sounded.
"Welcome back to the camp!"
With the shouting outside the tent, the curtains of the Chinese army's tent were also opened at the same time to both sides, revealing the outside vision.
In the next moment, Chen Wang held the horsewhip in one hand, and pressed the Yanling knife on his waist with the other hand, and had already stepped into the tent.
There was no need to order, no need to shout, all the military academies in the big tent, including Chen Gong and Hu Zhiyi, all bowed down in unison.
"Welcome back to the camp!"
There is no father and son in the military camp, and there is no family under the military order.
There is a strict hierarchy in the army, and the flag is waved by thousands of troops, how can it tolerate other personal feelings?
On weekdays, you can call it casually, but when you go to the battlefield in the army and are promoted to the military tent, you only have the distinction between superiors and subordinates, and there is no brotherhood and friendship.
Chen Wang stepped into the tent and walked all the way to the top of the first seat before stopping.
Hu Zhili led a group of guards to follow him, and walked into the tent of the Chinese army together.
After the guards entered the tent, they all consciously stood on the edge of the big tent and were in a vigilant position.
And Hu Zhili followed Chen Wang all the way to the position of the first seat according to the knife, he did not sit down, but stood directly under the steps of the first seat and stood according to the knife.
All the way, Chen Wang rode a war horse into the camp and went straight to the position of the Chinese army from the Yuanmen, he did not go back to his camp tent to rest, but sent someone to spread the news of the tent first.
Chen Wang did not rush to sit down before standing on the first seat, but first looked around at the military academies kneeling on the ground in the tent, and then his eyes fell on Hu Zhiyi.
After Chunhua became a guerrilla, he asked Hu Zhiyi to go to Liaodong to recruit people from the Chen and Hu clans, saying that he was a family member but was actually an officer.
Originally, when he took office in Chunhua, he controlled the Liao cavalry left by Zhang Waijia by relying on the family sent to him by Cao Wenzhao, and this part naturally could not be borrowed for a long time, and it was already returned at this time.
However, Cao Wenzhao finally left him more than a dozen family members who were originally subordinate to him, and those more than ten people were all from the Chen and Hu clans.
Cao Wenzhao asked each family member what they thought, and those who were willing to continue to follow him stayed in the army, and those who wanted to help Chen Wang could also leave.
More than a dozen people finally chose to break away from Cao Wenzhao and turned around.
Among them was Chen Ming, who delivered a letter for Cao Wenzhao last time.
And Hu Zhiyi brought nearly 50 people from Liaodong this time, which is now nearly half of the young and strong men of the Chen and Hu clans.
Originally, although the Chen and Hu clans were not a big family, they were not small in the neighborhood, but after the war in Guangning, the situation deteriorated, and many men joined the army, and many people died on the battlefield.
Adding the two, counting Hu Zhili, Hu Zhiyi and Chen Gong, there are a total of 72 people from the Chen and Hu clans, all of whom hold important positions in the army.
Fathers and sons go into battle, fight tigers and brothers, nepotism is the norm in this era.
Chen Wang doesn't feel that he has such a great personality charm now, and a shock to the tiger's body can lead everyone under his command to die and be loyal.
But he knew one thing very well, in this era, if someone in the clan ascended to a high position or had outstanding intelligence, his clan would definitely spare no effort to support him.
The ascension of a chicken dog to heaven is not unheard of in this era.
The reason why the Chen clan was able to occupy a place in Guangning in eastern Liaodong was because of a guerrilla among the Chen clan.
Later, the Chen family and the Hu family each produced another lifter, which has the current scale.
Now that he has become a guerrilla, he will naturally get the full support of the Chen and Hu clans.
Now everyone in the tent, Chen Wang, can be trusted, except for Zhao Huailiang and Tang Shiping, the rest of the military academies in the tent are his blood relatives, and they naturally stand on his side.
In the information age, the convenient transportation and information interaction have made people gradually become indifferent and begin to look at the bloodline.
But in the Ming Dynasty, even if they are from the same place, they will have a very close relationship and help each other in the officialdom, not to mention the same clan and clan.
Zhao Huailiang and Tang Shiping have no background, and they can rise all the way to the top and rise to today's official positions, all of which rely on him, and it can be said that they are firmly tied to him in the same chariot.
"Take your seat."
Chen Wang retracted his gaze and sat back in the first seat.
Hearing Chen Wang's order, all the military academies in the tent responded to the order, and then got up and sat down again.
Chen Wang's gaze was slightly condensed, and his gaze swept over everyone's bodies.
Hu Zhiyi came back relatively early, and he had already arrived in Hanzhong Mansion when Chen Wang was still quelling the rebellion.
Chen Wang dragged the time, did not rush to kill Li Yangchun and Lin Shengquan, but trained first.
Let a group of relatives lead their own troops, starting with the flag chief, and then gradually ascending, gradually becoming familiar with various affairs.
Today's Liao cavalry, that is, the hundred generals of the First Cavalry Department, four of them are all from the Chen and Hu clans.
Only two of the seven infantry units were always served by Tang Shiping and Zhao Huailiang, and the rest were all from the Chen and Hu clans.
Chen Gong served as the general manager of the First Cavalry Department, and Hu Zhiyi served as the general manager of the First Infantry Department.
Tang Shiping served as the general manager of the Second Infantry Department, Chen Ming served as the general manager of the Third Infantry Department, and Zhao Huailiang served as the general manager of the Fourth Infantry Department.
The Qianzong of the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Infantry Divisions were all from the Chen and Hu clans.
Chen Wang's eyes wandered away from everyone, after nearly two months of rigorous training, all of them already looked like qualified officers on the surface.
His army has gone through several baptisms of war and is transforming into a real army.
However, Chen Wang knows very well that what he needs is not an elite army like this era.
If he wants to accomplish what he wants, then he needs a force that is different from this era - a new army.
An army like the Qi family's army even surpasses them......
"...... from now on"
Chen Wang looked at the people in the tent.
The military system of the Zhenwu battalion in the Ming Dynasty was quite chaotic, and every general would change and adjust it.
But chaos also has the advantage of chaos, and the establishment can be changed without reporting, which means that as a battalion general, he actually has the ability to change the military system.
"There is a supervision office in the battalion, which is directly led by me, and there are supervisors in all ministries, departments, and bureaus to be in charge of military law propaganda."
Under the steps, Hu Zhili took a step forward.
Then Chen Wang's voice sounded in everyone's ears at the right time.
"The first supervisor of the supervision office will be Hu Zhili."
