The wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 50
When he came out from behind the large tent of the Chinese army, Chen Wang's footsteps were much more steady than before he walked in.

Along the way, Chen Wang was thinking about what Cao Wenzhao said to him in the tent.

When he walked not far from his military tent, Chen Wang had already grasped all the context.

He also understood how Cao Wenzhao saw his thoughts, and why he was willing to help him, so that he had the opportunity to lead the camp alone.

Many things in this world are not for no reason. Cao Wenzhao is indeed helping him, but at the same time Cao Wenzhao is also helping himself.

Chen Wang looked around at the peaceful tents around him, his eyes were still extremely bright in the darkness, and the last bit of doubt in his heart disappeared.

Cao Wenzhao had the same purpose as him, wanting to swallow this Liao army.

It's just that what he wants is to lead a camp alone, to have greater autonomy, and to seek development.

However, Cao Wenzhao wanted a trusted aide to control this Liao army as a strong reinforcement on the battlefield in the future.

In such a chaotic situation, the bigger the military power in your hands, the better.

It's just that as a battalion, the number of soldiers in each battalion is fixed, and there can only be fewer soldiers in a battalion.

If there are too many, you will definitely be impeached. If you support the soldiers with self-respect, or have ulterior motives, after a few memorials, the white will be said to be black.

Although they will not be convicted of treason, most of them will be dismissed.

Moreover, the imperial court will only pay so much military pay, and even withhold it, how can it be possible to support it.

It's not just the Guan Ning army who retreats and turns into Qi Rufeng, outflanks Xu Rulin, endangers the people, invades like fire, and the friendly army is in trouble like a mountain.

Cao Wenzhao has encountered similar situations many times, and it is not that he has never lost a battle when he was attacking the bandits.

Many times the army under his command has not been defeated. Many of the friendly troops who were originally agreed to be responsible for covering the flanks are either immobile or scattered at the moment of contact with the enemy.

If there is a trustworthy person leading the soldiers of the other battalion, he can at least feel more at ease during the subsequent campaign, and he can also relieve the huge pressure, instead of worrying that the friendly army will not move like a mountain, or run away like the wind .

In fact, Cao Wenzhao originally wanted Cao Bianjiao to pick up the remaining cavalry under Zhang Waijia's command.

After all, Cao Bianjiao himself is a general and can naturally lead a battalion alone, but if Cao Bianjiao leaves, the cavalry in the battalion can only be led by Cao Wenzhao himself.

Moreover, in the battle of Qiutou Town, Cao Bianjiao's aggressive advance made Cao Wenzhao feel a little worried.

Cao Dingjiao also commanded the troops and was in charge of military rations, ordnance, etc. at the same time.

Cao Dingjiao was in charge of all the logistical matters in the camp, and there was nothing missing.

Just when Cao Wenzhao was thinking, Chen Wang asked to see him at this time, which made Cao Wenzhao have a plan in an instant.

Chen Wang has followed him since the first year of Chongzhen. His family, the Chen family in Guangning, and his in-laws, the Hu family in Guangning, served as servants under his command, and Chen Wang was his personal guard.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the relationship between the generals and the servants was extremely close, one prospered and the other prospered, the other suffered and the other suffered, and they lived and died together.

General orders are like a mountain, even if the master general asks him to die, he will never frown.

In the Ming Dynasty, the guards were almost in the same position as those of the same clan. In order to make the relationship between the family and them closer, some generals even called them father and son, and adopted them as adopted sons.

After many generals died in battle or committed suicide in the late Ming Dynasty, few of their family members surrendered, and most of them died in battle with them or committed suicide.

Cao Wenzhao didn't have any interest in adopting sons, and Chen Wang had followed him for eight years, and he had already won Cao Wenzhao's trust through countless charges and even sacrificed his life to protect him.

In Cao Wenzhao's eyes, Chen Wang was his confidant, the one with a hundred loyalty points.

Naturally, Cao Wenzhao had no way of knowing that the Chen Wang he was familiar with had already disappeared, replaced by a soul from hundreds of years later.

So after Chen Wang asked to see him, Cao Wenzhao directly finalized the matter for him.

In the previous battle of Qiutou Town, as well as the subsequent military training, and the battle of Binzhou, Chen Wang showed outstanding abilities.

Observing the subtleties, not being afraid in times of danger, not chaotic in the face of battle, and clearly organized, he can serve as a vanguard or as a central army.

He is well trained, mature and prudent, has the ability to advance and retreat, has both civil and military skills, and has the talent to lead a battalion.

The cool wind from the northwest blew across Chen Wang's surroundings, and when the wind blew, Chen Wang felt conscious again for a few minutes.

The cool wind took away a trace of heat, Chen Wang let out a breath of foul air slowly, and stepped forward again.

The servant standing outside the tent noticed Chen Wang coming, and immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed silently, then stood up and opened the curtain for Chen Wang.

Chen Wang nodded slightly, and just walked into the tent.

The people in the tent who had been waiting for a long time stood up immediately.

Chen Gong, Hu Zhili, Hu Zhiyi, and Tang Shiping had been waiting in the tent for news from Chen Wang.

"Brother, what's the matter?"

"Brother Wang, what did the general say?"

The four of them talked to each other, and the buzzing sound came to Chen Wang's ears in an instant.

"Has the chief soldier promised to help?"

"Brother Wang..." "Brother..."

Chen Wang hurriedly pushed away the crowd and shouted in a low voice.

"One deputy general, three hundred chiefs, all of them are in charge of hundreds of people, one or two are not stable at all, and they are all noisy and unreasonable."

Chen Wang sat back on the chair, and first poured a cup of tea into the wooden bowl on the table next to him.

"All sit down."

Chen Wang drank the tea in the bowl and pointed to the chair in the tent.

After the four of them sat down, Chen Wang smiled and spoke slowly.

"When the paperwork for the meritorious service reward comes down, you can call me Qianhu."

After Chen Wang finished speaking, Hu Zhili had already stood up and said in surprise.

"Brother Wang, you have been promoted to three levels in a row."

"Be good, try the hundred households and directly overtake the hundred and deputy thousand households, and seal the thousand households."

Hu Zhili sat down, couldn't help but slapped his thigh again, and clicked his tongue.

"and many more."

Chen Gong was the same age as Hu Zhili, only 23 years old, but he was much more stable than Hu Zhili. He reached out and stopped Hu Zhili who was still about to speak.

"Brother Wang has made meritorious service in two rounds, so logically speaking, he can only be promoted to Deputy Qianhu by two levels."

"Now that he has been promoted to three ranks in a row, he has been promoted to the rank of a thousand households. Could it be that..."

Chen Gong's complexion changed slightly, and he grasped the key point.

Generally speaking, there is only one possibility for unconventional promotion, which is to match the position awarded to the battalion officer later.

Chen Wang put down the wooden bowl in his hand and said with a relaxed smile.

"There are only 900 soldiers left in Zhang Waijia's Qibing Battalion. When we arrive in Chunhua, I will be Chief Qian. I will take over the [-] cavalry in the battalion temporarily."

Chen Wang was still sitting in his original position, but the four people sitting in the tent all stood up.

All four looked eagerly.

In two months, Chen Wang went from being a family member to successively serving as the chief executive, to the chief executive, and now he has been promoted to the chief executive by two consecutive ranks.

He was also authorized to temporarily lead the first battalion. Everyone knew that as long as he made enough meritorious service in the future, he could be promoted to guerrilla!
At that time, you can justifiably lead a battalion of soldiers.

What is the reason why they serve as soldiers and eat food?
The first is naturally to restore the homeland and regain the mountains and rivers.

But the second is to honor the ancestors and seal their wives and sons!
