Chapter 97
After Chen Junchong and Ma Ke left, Zhu Yuxi and others continued to organize the army in Qi County.

Ma Keyuan led [-] elite soldiers and [-] miscellaneous soldiers to attack Tongchuan.

Although there were some losses before and after, there were still more than 4000 elite soldiers and more than [-] miscellaneous soldiers after Qi County was captured.

It wasn't that Ma Ke used elite soldiers to attack the county, and didn't use miscellaneous soldiers, but that after the loss of miscellaneous soldiers, he recruited a group in Tongchuan on the spot.

In yesterday's reorganization, the first thing Li Yan and Hong Niangzi did was to weed out the old and the weak.

Ma Ke had the idea of ​​being cannon fodder in recruiting miscellaneous soldiers before, so he didn't pay much attention to it, so that among the miscellaneous soldiers, there were both gray-haired old men and teenagers.

There are also some who are too thin to be soldiers at all.

Nearly a thousand old and weak were eliminated, and Hong Niangzi selected two thousand from the remaining people who were physically stronger, or had certain combat experience and skills.

The remaining 8000 people are miscellaneous soldiers assigned to Chen Junchong.

The 2000 people selected by Hong Niangzi can quickly transform into combatable soldiers after a few battles, almost like the so-called elite soldiers of the Ma Ke Department.

As for the elite soldiers of the Red Lady's Department, they are real elite soldiers, not comparable to Ma Ke's elite soldiers.

These 2000 people were dispersed into Marko's elite army.

And two thousand elite soldiers from the Ma Ke Department were selected to be incorporated into the Hong Niangzi Department.

The above reorganization is only for infantry.

As for the cavalry, there are about 1000 people each in the Red Lady Division and the Horse Division, and there has been no change.

After all, Aimee Zhu and Lady Li Yanhong still have some trust in Ma Ke.

After reorganization, there were [-] cavalry and [-] infantry on both sides.

A total of [-] soldiers, all elite.

Then the establishment of the Dashun army was changed to the camp and post system of the Ming army, and because the Ming army's establishment was complicated and chaotic, the three of Zhu Yuxi made some changes on this basis.

The most basic level is the Shiwu system, that is to say, among the ten people, there is a Wuchang and a Shichang, and the Wuchang is Shichang's deputy.

The fifty-one team has a captain and a team deputy, with a total of 50 people.

There are five teams and one post, with a post chief and a post deputy, a total of 250 people.

There are five sentries and one general, four of which are soldiers, and one sentry is an auxiliary soldier in charge of luggage, food and other affairs. There is one thousand general and two general generals. There are 1250 sentinels in total.

There are four generals and one battalion, with guerrillas or participating generals serving as battalion officers, one of whom is a battalion officer's personal soldier, with a total of 5000 people.

A number of battalions form an army, with a commander in chief.

After the reorganization, although the whole army could only be made into two battalions, Zhu Yuxi appointed both Hong Niangzi and Ma Ke as the chief soldiers.

This is not considered a promotion, because the two of them had no lower rank than the chief soldier in Dashun and Daming.

The last is practice.

As soon as the reorganization is completed, the combat effectiveness of the troops will definitely decline. If they are dragged to fight without training, it is to let the soldiers lose their lives.

As for Chongqing, it is now June 22.

According to Hao Guangming's historical records, Chongqing was captured by Zhang Xianzhong on June [-].

Even if there is no one now, it will be too late for Auntie Zhu to rush to the rescue.

Defending Chengdu is the key for Zhu Yuxi and others to defeat Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan.

···
"Gao Shengqi/Li Zhenwu pays respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

In the tent, Gao Shengqi and Li Zhenwu bowed to Aimee Zhu.

"Flat body."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

After the two of them stood up, Aunt Zhu said to the two of them, "Both of you used to work in Jinyiwei, but now you are still in charge of Jinyiwei in Sichuan."

After finishing speaking, she signaled Fei Zhen'e to take 500 taels of silver for each of them.

In the troubled times at the end of Ming Dynasty, silver was not as valuable as gold, or even as reliable as food, so this money was actually not a lot.

As for Zhu Yuxi's silver, it was exchanged for gold from Hong Niangzi.

"Gao Shengqi will serve as Qianhu of Fusi in Beizhen, and Li Zhenwu will serve as Qianhu of Fusi in Nanzhen. From now on, the Jinyiwei in Sichuan will be headed by you two. This is the activity fund, you take it first, if it is not enough, come and talk to Ben Gong said."

Gao Shengqi and Li Zhenwu were a little excited.

They have been with the princess for so long, and they are finally about to be activated, and they have all been promoted.

Auntie Zhu said again: "Now that you don't have anyone under your command, you still have to work together. The first task I entrust to you is to find four people. This is their information."

After speaking, Auntie Zhu asked Fei Zhen'e to hand each of them a four-page book that was stapled together.

Gao Shengqi and Li Zhenwu discovered that these papers were not only extremely neat and white as snow, but the characters on them were printed only the size of a fingertip.

They took a closer look and found that the characters were not arranged vertically, but horizontally!

Auntie Zhu said bluntly, "This information is printed by the son-in-law, if you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

Gao Shengqi and Li Zhenwu endured their discomfort with the horizontal text and read the information patiently.

The contents of the books obtained by the two are the same, and both contain some information about the four people.

These four people are Zeng Ying, Liu Linchang, Yang Zhan, and Cao Xun.

"Zeng Ying, courtesy name Yanhou, beautiful beard, from Putian, Fujian.

He followed his father to Chengdu as an official and settled down.

He is suave and talented, and likes to save people in a hurry. He was praised by many people at that time, and he was called "Mr. Zeng".

Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan from Huguang Er, and Zeng Ying cried to Chen Shiqi in Chengdu to ask for troops to fight.

Chen Shiqi granted him the post of garrison and hundreds of soldiers to try.

After Zeng Ying served as a garrison, he scattered all his wealth, recruited heroes, and practiced for a few days before heading to Kuizhou.

At this time, the vanguard of Zhang Xianzhong's troops had already passed the Qutang Pass in Kuizhou, and the whole journey was in turmoil. The generals and soldiers were all arrogant and underestimated the enemy.

So Zeng Ying set up an ambush in Wushan to block Zhang Xianzhong's troops going north to Daning for four months.

Because there was no reinforcements, and Zhang Xianzhong's large army had already rushed to Chongqing, Zeng Ying led his troops to Zhongzhou in Chongqing.

Zhang Xianzhong attacked Zhongzhou, Zeng Ying supervised the navy to fight back, burned hundreds of enemy ships and beheaded more than a thousand.

Later, Zeng Ying was ordered by the superior to retreat to Peizhou, and Zhang Xianzhong occupied Zhongzhou.

Chen Shiqi saw Zeng Ying's ability, so he appointed him as a general, and ordered him and Shoudao (a political envoy stationed in the local area to participate in politics) Liu Linchang to stick to Peizhou and guard the front line of Fuling River.

In June, Zeng Ying was defeated and retreated to Wangjiang Pass in Peizhou. He was chased by Zhang Xianzhong's troops and cut his cheek.

Zeng Ying managed to escape by killing several people.

Afterwards, Liu Lin led the remnants to withdraw to Jiangjin, Qijiang and Nanchuan. "

According to the information, the record of Zeng Ying's relevant information ends here.

Gao Shengqi and Li Zhenwu were quite surprised after reading it.

It should be noted that Daming is not a later generation, and information transmission is very slow.

Although Zeng Ying has just shown her talents, it has not yet reached the time when Yufupu defeated Zhang Xianzhong and shocked eastern Sichuan.

He asked Chen Shiqi for troops, and his achievements in Wushan and Zhongzhou did not spread to northern Sichuan.

However, Zeng Ying's deeds in the past six months have been written down on it, as the sky can see.

After thinking about it for a while, the two of them realized that this should be what the son-in-law read from the history books of later generations.

However, there is such a hero as Zeng Ying in Sichuan, which still surprised the two of them.

The next page is Liu Linchang's information, and the content is much less.

"Liu Linchang, courtesy name Menglong, was born in Jinjiang, Fujian.

Jinshi in the 47th year of Wanli.

Good at supervising construction, river engineering and other projects.

Participating in politics for Sichuan now.

It should be in Jiangjin, Qijiang and Nanchuan with Zeng Ying. "

Hao Guangming actually found more information about Liu Linchang, but it mainly records his achievements in the affairs of the Ministry of Industry.

In other words, this is an official who is good at supervising and executing various projects, and he is quite talented and virtuous.

Aimee Zhu will definitely use this kind of talent in the future.

Since there is a high probability that Liu Linchang will be with Zeng Ying at this time, Auntie Zhu will of course take him into her pocket by the way.

Otherwise, according to historical records, Liu Linchang saw that Chuanzhong was doing nothing, so he went back to the Nanjing court.

This kind of practical talent is useless in Nanjing.

Aimee Zhu and Hao Guangming would not let him go.

The two looked at it again, and it was Yang Zhan's information.

"Yang Zhan, courtesy name Yuliang, was born in Qianwei, Jiading Prefecture, Sichuan.

Chongzhen ten years Wu Jinshi No.3.

It is more than seven feet long and has a heroic appearance.

This person should have a lot of money, so he can send troops in Qianwei to help Chengdu. "

Finally, there is information about Cao Xun...
After reading all of them, Gao Shengqi couldn't help but look excited and said: "There are such talents in Sichuan, and His Highness defeating Zhang Xianzhong is just around the corner."

Auntie Zhu smiled and said: "Currently there are not only these four talents in Chuanzhong, there are many more, and you will see them one by one in the future.

In addition, I have a few words to ask - among the four people, Zeng Ying is the most important, this person is a natural general, he is of great use to me, he must be brought to Chengdu.

In addition, when you see him, if there is a woman named Dong Qiongying by his side, you can also bring them along.

After finding Zeng Ying, you go to Jiading to find Yang Zhan.

After you find Yang Zhan, if it's late July, you don't need to go to Cao Xun, but bring someone to Chengdu directly. "

"Yes!"

···
Chongzhen 17th year, June 27th.

Four days after Chen Junchong and Ma Ke left, the reorganized [-] infantry went through a few days of drills, plus a movie with ideological education every night, the team barely completed the initial run-in.

So Zhu Yuxi and others decided to leave one thousand cavalry from the Hongniangzi's department to wait for Ma Ke in Qi County, and they set off for Chengdu with another thousand cavalry and eight thousand elite infantry.

Because according to historical records, after Zhang Xianzhong occupied the city, he would personally lead the army at the beginning of July and march towards Chengdu Mansion in three ways.

Although Qi County is not far from Chengdu, they still need to arrive in Chengdu as soon as possible, so as to have time to integrate the forces of the Ming Dynasty and control the city of Chengdu.
