Silence Sun Chuanting was not Chen Wang's request.

Chen Wang's request was not actually an outrageous request, on the contrary, it was just a sparse and ordinary request.

In some places in the nine important towns of the Northland, there are not a few generals and colonels who are battalion generals and concurrently lead the military posts of the local guards.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, because of the continuous collapse of the Wei system, they had to rely more on recruitment.

In the old days, battalion officers such as the chief soldier and deputy chief soldier were elected from among the noble ministers such as the prince and the governor.

The subordinate generals, guerrillas, and garrisons are selected from among the various garrisons to serve as high-ranking officers of the guards, and they are generally at the level of commanders and commanders.

Some of the places that need to set up forts, customs, and general guards are generally directly selected to be the chief officer of the local health station, and thousands or hundreds of households are filled.

During the Jiajing period, Qi Jiguang was transferred to Zhejiang, where he served as a servant in the Zhejiang Metropolitan Division, and served as a staff general, defending Ningbo, Shaoxing, and Taizhou, and the local guard office was also under his control.

The reason why Sun Chuanting was silent was because he was already preparing to start rectifying the guard.

Chen Wang's request gave him a new idea.

"I know you're well-trained, but it's not just because you're undertrained."

"The biggest reason for the fatigue of the guards is not because of the armament, nor because of the training, but because of the guards themselves."

Sun Chuanting's eyes were scorching, and he said in a deep voice.

"The country is in difficulty, the military salary is difficult to support, and it is difficult for the battalion soldiers to receive sufficient salaries, let alone the local guards."

Chen Wang lowered his head, he actually knew more about these problems than Sun Chuanting.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Wei army's tuntian achieved great results and was almost the main source of its military salary.

However, the system of guards has collapsed to the present, and most of the land of the guards in various places, especially those in the interior, has been encroached upon.

The number of people in the garrison has been decreasing year by year, and the military households are in poverty and the generals are poor, so there are many people who have fled.

It's not that the guards can't fight, the biggest reason is actually because of money and food, as well as the problem of generals.

In the first battle of Heishuiyu, the casualties of the guards guarding the pass exceeded 30%, and the casualties were not unheavy.

Logically speaking, they should have fallen into collapse a long time ago, but they have been holding on to the pass since the outbreak of the Great War.

The only thing Sun Chuanting did was to pay their military salaries in full, and to ensure that they could receive a pension if they died in battle.

And the generals did not escape, Sun Chuanting came to the front in person, and made a military order before the war, and those who dared to flee would be held accountable afterwards.

Therefore, they all brought their families to the forefront of the position.

"If we want to make the guards able to fight, the first thing is to solve the problem of money and food, and the second is to eliminate the internal ills of the guards."

"In the end, it's the Sergeant of the Guardian himself......"

Sun Chuanting shook his head and sighed.

"However, the local health center is deeply ill, and it is difficult to change it."

Chen Wang's eyes moved slightly, and he had already guessed Sun Chuanting's inner thoughts from the time Sun Chuanting did not directly refuse his request, but talked about the various ills of the guard.

Sun Chuanting intended to rectify the guards, and in history, he first rectified the four guards in Xi'an, and then slowly rectified the guards in the rest of the places.

However, many local rectification centers have failed because they are beyond the reach of the whip, or because the local resistance is too great.

Until he stepped down, Sun Chuanting was unable to complete the plan to rectify the entire Shaanxi Provincial Internal Security Center.

Sun Chuanting most likely wanted to use his own hands to rectify Han Zhongwei.

"As a general in Hanzhong, he has the rule of defending the land, and he should keep the cities in Hanzhong Mansion safe."

Chen Wang lowered his voice a little and said in a low tone.

"But when he broke into the Hanzhong Mansion, he was powerless, and he could only watch the four cities of Xunyang, Pingli, Ziyang, and Shiquan be destroyed, and hundreds of thousands of people suffered disasters."

"If the guards are usable, they can be stationed on the checkpoint road between Xunxiang and Hanzhong Mansion, and directly block the road to the west."

Chen Wang clasped his hands into fists, bowed slightly, raised his voice a little, and said solemnly.

"What the military gate said is very true, the local health center is indeed deeply ill, and it is really difficult to change it."

"Since he was appointed as a general in Hanzhong, he has fought with the Hanzhong Guards many times, and he also knows some of the shortcomings in the Guards."

The biggest difference between Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou is what they think in their hearts.

In front of his family, country and himself, Hong Chengchou put himself in front.

And Sun Chuanting put his family and country in front and himself behind.

What kind of people you are with is what kind of words you need to say.

"The exhaustion of the guards is difficult to solve, but it is not insolvable."

"This time, the rogue poisoned many places in Hanzhong Prefecture, and many people suffered from disasters, and many fields in Hanzhong Mansion fell into a situation of desolation and ownerlessness."

"I thought that I could temporarily divide it into military land, which was just enough to enrich the money and food of the guard."

Sun Chuanting bowed slightly, this is indeed a good way to solve the problem of the lack of fields in the guard.

The cities of Shiquan and other cities were breached, most of the rich gentry in the city were killed, and their fields naturally became ownerless for the time being.

Putting it under the name of the local health center is just right to fill in the gap.

Although there are still some details and things that need to be dealt with, the obstacles and difficulties encountered in handling these things well are far less than directly taking them from the hands of the wealthy gentry.

Thinking of this, Sun Chuanting looked at Chen Wang's eyes with more appreciation.

Most of the generals can only fight, and some can't even fight, and leading the troops is a problem.

But Chen Wang not only knows how to fight, but also can train soldiers, and he also has a desirable view of governance and management, which naturally made Sun Chuanting take a look.

Chen Wang raised his head and said in a deep voice.

"I think that where there is a will, there is a way."

"In case of trouble, we should not retreat in the face of difficulties, but should rise to the occasion, humble and talented, but we are willing to share the worries of the military and serve the country."

Sun Chuanting leaned forward slightly, looked at Chen Wang, who was sitting in the lower position, and laughed loudly.

"What a 'where there is a will, there is a way'."

Sun Chuanting's eyes once again showed sharpness, and Chen Wang's words made his originally somewhat low fighting spirit also high.

If you want to rectify the guards, clear the acres of land, and fill in the gaps, you will inevitably offend many wealthy gentry and wealthy households, as well as a large number of officials and nobles.

Above the officialdom, it is easy to dodge the open guns and difficult to defend against the hidden arrows, and doing these things will inevitably affect your career.

"In this battle, you followed the thieves all the way into Heishuiyu, looking for an opportunity to slash high Yingxiang, and sent cavalry to attack the rear of the thieves, causing the army to collapse, which can be described as a great achievement."

"The documents for reporting merit will be submitted in a few days, and the results of this battle are remarkable, and the military department will certainly not slack off in discussing merit."

Sun Chuanting glanced down at the Tang newspaper that had almost been written.

"Before, you were promoted to the general of Hanzhong because of your merits, and you were awarded the command of the officer."

"This merit should make you one level higher, but it should still stay in Hanzhong Mansion."

There are nearly 300,000 people in Xunxiang and Xiang, and the leader is Zhang Xianzhong, the eighth king.

Zhang Xianzhong is second only to Gao Yingxiang as the leader of the 72nd battalion.

The defense task of Hanzhong Mansion is heavy, as a strategic point, and King Rui is also in Hanzhong Mansion.

This time's exploits were enough for Chen Wangsheng to be promoted to deputy commander-in-chief.

Hong Chengchou had already arranged all the military affairs before leaving, and Chen Wang was ordered to lead his troops back to Hanzhong Mansion to prevent the exiles of Xunxiang and Xiangxi from escaping into Shaanxi.

Although Hong Chengchou did not say it explicitly, everyone knew that such an arrangement was clear to everyone, and Chen Wang would most likely continue to garrison Hanzhong Mansion as the deputy commander of the Hanzhong Mansion.

"The situation in the province is indeed as you said, with chaos in various places, and the troops are being attacked and caught at the elbow."

After a long time, Sun Chuanting stood up and looked directly at Chen Wang with sharp eyes, he had made the final decision.

"I grant your request and allow you to train the Hanzhong Guard."

"You'll have to do more than just train the guards, though."

Sun Chuanting did not continue to stand on the top, but walked down from the position of the top, and walked all the way to Chen Wang's body for a few steps before stopping.

"I have the heart to rectify the health centers in various places, and I am ready to start with the four guards in Xi'an, and the rest of the health centers are located in remote areas, so I am temporarily powerless."

Sun Chuanting put one hand in front of him, and the other hand behind his back, and said in a condensed voice.

"Since you have such ambition, I will promote you as the commander of Han Zhongwei and give you power."

"In addition to training soldiers, you must also shoulder the task of rectifying Hanzhongwei and Qingtun to increase classes."

Chen Wang's current official position is the commander of the fourth grade, and if he is promoted to the next level, he will be the commander of the third grade.

Although Chen Wangzhen beheaded Gao Yingxiang, he also assisted in breaking through the main force of the breaking army.

But Chen Wang's previous promotion was too fast and too young, even if it was such a merit, at most, he could only be promoted one level higher, and the excess would be converted into other rewards.

Chen Wang forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, slowly raised his head, and looked at Sun Chuanting who was standing near him in front of him.

Sun Chuanting's eyes were very bright, revealing an impressive aura, and the closer he got to it, the sharper his eyes became.

"I hope that when I arrive at Linhanzhong Mansion, I will be able to see the new Hanzhong Guard."

Success is also sharp, and defeat is also sharp.

It was this sharp spirit that allowed Sun Chuanting to ascend to a high position, at the end of the last.

Sun Chuanting was only a little short of saving the Ming Dynasty, which was already crumbling at that time.

But in the end, he still failed to turn the tide, and his excessive sharpness made him offend too many people.

It is said that he Sun Chuanting raised his own dignity, and finally under the edict, Sun Chuanting had no choice but to lead the army that had not yet been trained and stepped out of Tongguan......

Chen Wang lowered his head again, lowered his voice, and hid the expression on his face.

"Humble Chen Wang, never live up to the trust of the military."

"When the superintendent Sun Chuanting, the army was in Shaanxi, and the sergeant of Qin said that he raised the Kou, and the emperor was also suspicious, so he started to urge the war, and the court had no choice but to ask for a teacher."
