The wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 61
Chunhua is the only way from the Guanzhong area to Qingyang Mansion, and the two sides are blocked by mountains and rivers like Binzhou.

Although it is not as difficult to climb as the mountains in Sichuan and Shu, it is undoubtedly a dream to pass through the brigade.

The mountain road is rugged, and there is only one road to go north to Qingyang from the Guanzhong Plain of Xi'an Prefecture.

And Chunhua is sitting in the southern part of this avenue.

Three mountains embrace the isolated city, and one city separates the north from the south.

As long as Chunhua is guarded, the relationship between Guanzhong and Qingyang can be cut off.

With the power of Cao Wenzhao and Hong Chengchou, Chen Wang overwhelmed the full battalion of Liao soldiers.

Then burning the dossier saved everyone from worrying about the future.

As a subordinate soldier, there is no one who doesn't want his superior to be a person who protects his weaknesses.

Grace and power go hand in hand, take it all in.

After controlling a group of soldiers, Chen Wang didn't waste much time.

When he came here, he had already made a plan, and the military division implemented by the battalion in Liao Town was slightly different from that in other places.

However, for the sake of convenience, Chen Wang re-divided the army from top to bottom according to the military system when he was under Cao Wenzhao's command.

In the defeat of Sanshui City, the Liao barracks suffered heavy casualties. More than 900 people came from a very chaotic department, and they had already lost their organizational system.

Seven people in 910 were compiled into one.

The Ministry is divided into two divisions, and the two divisions are divided into eight bureaus. There are 24 banners under the eight bureaus.

Zhao Huailiang was still appointed as the general, but he did not lead the army. Chen Wang asked him to mediate in order to temporarily serve as the deputy.

The two separate departments were put under the control of Chen Gong and Hu Zhili. Both of them were formerly the chief executives, but now they are temporarily acting as chief executives, each leading a division.

The military achievements of the two in Liaodong have already reached hundreds of households, and their military positions are not low.

As for Hu Zhiyi, he did not come to Chunhua. After entering the Guanzhong Plain, Chen Wang and Hu Zhiyi temporarily separated.

Hu Zhiyi took the letter written by Chen Wang all the way to Liaodong.

These servants under Cao Wenzhao's command must all be returned.

In this era, still in the battalion system, Chen Qu must have his own team to control the army.

The best way to form a team is to recruit people from your own relatives.

The bonds formed between relatives in this day and age are still very strong.

The Chen family and the Hu family have been friends for generations, and later became related by marriage. There are no fewer men in the five clothes.

Chen Wang's current plan is to temporarily bring people under his command in the name of family members.

In the defeat of Sanshui City, in addition to Zhao Huailiang, the surviving generals and school, there are three hundred generals, two deputy hundred generals, and ten generals at the banner level.

Naturally, Chen Wang did not directly demote him to a deputy position, which would definitely affect the morale of the army.

After all, most ordinary soldiers were promoted to ranks by fighting with one knife and one gun, and the sudden reduction of their ranks naturally made them feel resentful.

Therefore, these soldiers still hold their original posts, but all the establishments have been disrupted.

Among the eight bureaus, three hundred presidents and two vice presidents are still in their original positions, but the five are in different bureaus.

The remaining ten banners and some generals at the deputy banner level were also disrupted and distributed among other banners.

The remaining five hundred chiefs, six deputy chiefs, fourteen banner chiefs, and eighteen deputy banner chiefs were all filled by a group of servants brought by Chen Wang.

The new battalion will take over the first battalion, and it is quite normal to appoint one's own cronies.

In normal times, there would be some taboos, and large-scale personnel transfers were not allowed.

But what Chen Wang had to deal with now was not an ordinary situation. The battalion of Liao soldiers he took over was a rout from the front line, and most of the soldiers in the battalion were killed or injured.

But the enemy army was eyeing them, and tens of thousands of troops were stationed hundreds of miles away in the north, and there was a possibility of attacking at any time.

So now Chen Wang has great autonomy, and he can do many things cheaply.

This is not only Cao Wenzhao's explanation, Hong Chengchou's military order also clearly stated that he can act cheaply in many places.

And not only that, Chen Wang now has the authority to control the defense forces stationed in Chunhua City.

Even Hong Chengchou sent an order to the county magistrate of Chunhua County to cooperate fully, and he must not neglect everything such as food, supplies, and so on.

Wang Zhaolin, the county magistrate of Chunhua County, was already panicked by the arrival of most of the rogues, but he dared not say anything more now that he had received Hong Chengchou's order.

Chen Wang had already learned all these things from Cao Wenzhao.

However, many local officials in the Ming court basically ignored or even avoided the passing troops.

Not allowing them to enter the city, not giving food and grass relief is just a rare and common thing.

When Cao Wenzhao led the troops to encircle and suppress bandits in Xugou, Yuxian, and Dingxiang, Chongzhen personally ordered the land to accumulate more grain and grass as a reward.

However, there are still many places in Dao Daozhou and counties that refused to receive food and grass, and instead ordered people to fire away. The soldiers who went to collect food and grass at that time were killed or injured.

If it weren't for Cao Wenzhao's prestige enough, mutiny would be inevitable.

The imperial order made it difficult to get out of Beijing, and then Chongzhen was furious and ordered the censor to inquire about the crime, but the matter was left alone in the end.

County magistrates are not as good as they are now. For civil servants in many places, the emperor's orders are not obeyed. Anyway, there will be reasonable excuses afterwards.

The emperor's order didn't have much effect, and Hong Chengchou's order Chen Wang didn't expect much.

At the beginning, Hong Chengchou was the governor of Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Huguang, and Sichuan during the military affairs of the five provinces.

Many local officials did not obey the orders given, and they still went their own way, only caring about their own boundaries, and were indifferent to other prefectures.

Chen Wang didn't think that the magistrate of Chunhua would be of much help.

As long as that so-called Wang Zhaolin can sit in the county office obediently and make a sculpture obediently, don't lose military rations, and don't interfere in military affairs.

But when Chen Wang reorganized the barracks and redistributed the establishment.

Then he heard a commotion, and Chen Wang was about to send someone out to check, when a soldier came to report.

It is said that Wang Zhaolin, the county magistrate of Chunhua, and Luo Guizhong, the commander of Xi'an Qianwei, are meeting outside the camp.

"It just so happens that I'm also going to go out of the camp to inspect the city wall."

Chen Wang stood up, and he put down the military book in his hand, feeling very strange in his heart.

He had already sent someone to inform Wang Zhaolin of the situation. Anyway, no one knew about the situation in the camp, so he directly said that they had been dealt with according to military law and were beaten with military sticks.

The Liao soldiers did not go too far in the city, there were almost no incidents of hurting people, and they were all trivial matters.

But it's strange in my heart, but I definitely want to see people.

Chen Wang asked Chen Gong and Hu Zhili to stay in the camp to take charge of organizing and training the army.

Then he walked out of the tent with four or five personal guards and walked towards the gate of the camp.

Before walking out of the camp gate, Chen Wang saw Wang Zhaolin's figure.

And behind Wang Zhaolin, there was a young general wearing a red armor and a red robe, followed by dozens of soldiers and servants on the road.

Chen Wang's heart was like a bright mirror, he knew that the young general in armor and red robe was probably Luo Guizhong, the commander of Xi'an Qianwei.

The gate of the camp was wide open at this time, and trucks were pulled into the camp one after another.

Chen Wang could see clearly that there were not only rice and other staple foods on the truck, but also various vegetables and a lot of meat.

……

"History of Ming Dynasty Biography Volume 150 Six":
"Wen Zhao defeated the thieves Taigu, Fancun, and Yushe in a row, and the thieves in Taiyuan were almost exhausted."

"The emperor made a lot of meritorious deeds, and rewarded a lot of embarrassing food in the land he passed, and ordered the decree to quickly quell the thieves."

"Shanxi Surveillance Zhongguan Liu Zhongyun said that the Wenzhao suppressed the thieves Xugou, Yu, and Dingxiang. Instead of giving rice, the commanders injured the soldiers with artillery stones."

"The emperor will come down to the censor to ask..."
