I gather power with my gift of God and build the heaven.

Chapter 60: Report to the capital, Tianqi's death

The reason why Chen Ying was not arranged to be a soldier in the recruit camp was not because Chen Ying was a court official, so Wang Chao looked up to him.

But it is because Chen Ying should also know something about military affairs.

Such "talents" naturally cannot be wasted by being sent to be ordinary soldiers.

After a moment of hesitation, Wang Chao said:

"Get up! We don't kneel down here!"

Hearing Wang Chao's words, Chen Ying couldn't help but feel happy that he could finally survive.

However, despite this, Chen Ying still bowed respectfully.

Therefore, although he was constantly complaining in his heart, he still put forward his suggestions to the magistrate Li Wenshu.

“They are just a bunch of bandits.”

It was also a time of peasant uprisings and the constant invasion of the Jianzhou Jurchens.

Now, you can follow Instructor Wu Ping and be an assistant instructor.

After being angry for a while, Ma Wenchang finally sat down with a gloomy face and slammed the table hard, almost knocking over the teacup.

However, at this point everyone was like grasshoppers on the same rope. They couldn't escape, and neither could he.

"Hey, don't call me the boss, just call me the leader with them."

"Long live Long live Long live!"

But at the moment, it was not easy to find a seller.

Li Wenshu muttered to himself.

"Ah~!"

“…The fifth brother of the Emperor, Prince Xin, was intelligent and well-known, and had a kind and filial nature. He liked to follow the ancestral teachings that the elder brother should succeed the younger brother, and he succeeded the throne to the emperor.

"Yes! Chief!"

Unfortunately, Wang Chao was just an ordinary person in his previous life, and he only roughly knew the concepts of blast furnace iron and steel making.

Even many private skills will not be easily taught to outsiders.

Up to now, after more than ten days, more than a hundred people have helped Zhou Tie to forge weapons, but they have only managed to make three or four hundred weapons.

"Haha, no, no, it's all thanks to the leader's good guidance that I now realize how narrow-minded I was in the past."

Because of the announcement at home and abroad.

"Yes! Yes! Thank you, Boss!"

Because it was already late, Zheng Wanchun, the commander of Taozhou Guard, did not arrive until the next day.

While Ma Wenchang, Zheng Wanchun and others were preparing to suppress the bandits, and Wang Chao and others were training their troops hard, time passed quietly, and soon several days had passed.

Take a look at our military training to see if there are any deficiencies. You can also express your opinions and point out some deficiencies in our training.

Firstly, it is because these people need to learn, and secondly, the iron is about to be exhausted, so it is better to use it sparingly.

While Wang Chao accepted Chen Ying's surrender and reorganized his troops, at the Weiyuan County government office, the magistrate Li Wenshu sat on a bamboo chair with lifeless eyes.

It’s a pity that they don’t have the conditions now.

Listening to Zheng Wanchun's words, Ma Wenchang frowned slightly.

The chief clerk Wu Duoyun beside him couldn't help but ask in fear when he saw the magistrate Li Wenshu looking at him in a panic.

For example, Zhou Tie, the head of the Weapons Manufacturing Bureau, and his son Zhou Yan, the general consultant.

Well, if we find those big merchants and spend more money, there shouldn't be any problem.

If we hurry, it will take less than a day.

Given their current conditions, it is a luxury for everyone to be equipped with swords and guns, let alone sophisticated weapons.

After all, having a blacksmith doesn't mean that he can make swords.

"The food and supplies"

You should strive to cultivate good virtues, be close to the wise and accept the rules, study hard and work diligently, be considerate of people's livelihood, strictly build border defenses and avoid excessive damage. All the civil and military officials, both inside and outside the country, should work together to assist you, strictly abide by the rules and regulations, and ensure that the plan is solid.

After hearing this, a look of struggle and hesitation clearly appeared on Chen Ying's face.

At this moment, Li Wenshu no longer cared about his political achievements. He just wanted to save his life first.

"grown ups!"

All in all, this world still places great value on knowledge and generally does not pass it on to others easily.

Nowadays, not many people are willing to do business with these bandits.

If we ignore it, it will cause big trouble.

"Well, I'll arrange for someone to prepare it!"

Moreover, judging from the information reported by Li Wenshu, there were at least one or two thousand bandits.

Every night, the people of Weiyuan County will be tortured by the bandits."

After all, making swords and guns requires materials.

"Um

You have just joined us and there are still many unfamiliar things.

"Yes, my lord!"

On the side were the equally stunned County Magistrate Wuchang, the Chief Clerk Wu Duoyun, and a yamen runner who was reporting the news.

At the beginning, I was not even willing to teach blacksmithing skills.

Even though he was extremely annoyed and angry, he still had to take care of what he should do. After all, this was under his jurisdiction. He couldn't just sit back and watch the bandits grow stronger, right?

At this time, how would he know what to do?

"Sir, at this point, we can only report this to the capital."

From then on, Prince Xin Zhu Youjian, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen, was about to usher in his era.

"Yes, yes, yes, let's report it to the prefect immediately. I will immediately write a letter asking for help and have someone send it to Taonan Prefecture."

"What? Don't want to?"

Wang Chao did not push too hard on this.

Now that this person hasn't come to kill him yet, why is he so confused and panicked? He is completely devoid of his former greed and treachery.

"Well, I know that Deputy Instructor Chen, Staff Officer Chen is a man who knows the big picture."

“Then please General Zheng, please hurry up.

Weiyuan County belongs to Lintao Prefecture in the northwest, which is about a hundred miles away from Weiyuan County.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?

Chen Ying was, after all, a captain of the Ming Dynasty's garrison, and the recruited militiamen had been trained for nearly a month.

How could it be? How could they be defeated like this?

Are those bandits really that powerful? "

“But they still have a population of one or two thousand, and they have occupied Niaoshu Mountain and looted a large amount of money and food.

"How dare a group of rioters and bandits be so rampant? And the magistrate of Weiyuan County, Li Wenshu, and the captain of the Hundred Households, Chen Ying, are all useless. They can't even suppress a group of rioters and bandits."

At this time, Wang Tiqian was reading the last will of the late Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youjiao, while Wei Zhongxian was standing behind him with a wooden expression.

Of course, the best way is for them to have their own iron ore, iron smelting furnace, etc.

Otherwise, Wang Chao really wanted them to study blast furnace iron and steel making.

"Well, Samsoon, take Staff Officer Chen down to make arrangements."

In addition, you will also hold a staff officer position in the General Staff Department, and together with Chief of Staff Wang Sanshun, you will compile some of the military strategies you know and write them into a book."

"This"

Even though the military strategies he knew were far inferior to those of the military noble families, he still didn't want to teach them to others easily.

Ma Wenchang frowned slightly, but finally agreed with this statement and could only sigh and say:

Wang Sanshun bowed and came to Chen Ying's side.

According to tradition, it will probably have to wait until the future to be passed on to his son Zhou Jie.

"boom!"

Zhu Youjian and the civil and military officials behind him immediately bowed down and shouted loudly.

Ma Wenchang, the prefect of Lintao Prefecture, and Zheng Wanchun, the commander of Taozhou Guard, sat in the hall and looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

After nearly two days, the news of Chen Ying's defeat and capture finally reached Weiyuan County.

"How to do how to do?"

"Well, send someone to Taozhouwei and invite Zheng Wanchun, the commander of Taozhouwei, to come and discuss matters!"

And now, it can only be made by hand for the time being.

Similarly, Chen Ying did not want to casually tell others about the military strategies he knew.

Then, Chen Ying stood up.

I was just recalling some military strategies I knew so that I could copy them down later."

However, their whole family was in Niaoshu Mountain, and they had no other choice but to teach people how to forge iron and weapons as required by the dynasty.

Although, thanks to the policies of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, the literacy rate in the Ming Dynasty was still very high.

"This"

After explaining the situation, Zheng Wanchun's expression became serious. A gathering of one or two thousand bandits was not a small number.

"How could that be? How could that be? I will do my best to complete the tasks ordered by the leader.

Therefore, at noon on the second day, Ma Wenchang, the prefect of Lintao Prefecture, received Li Wenshu's letter requesting help and could not help but curse in anger.

A guard walked in quickly and bowed.

Seeing his hesitation, Wang Chao's face darkened slightly, and a compelling aura emanated from him.

Seeing Wang Sanshun's actions, Chen Ying, who was originally preparing to kneel down to salute, remembered that Wang Chao had said before that kneeling was not allowed here, so he could not help but clumsily imitate Wang Sanshun's movements and also performed a military salute like Wang Chao and his men.

"Here comes someone!"

However, these are all later stories, so let’s not talk about them for now.

But even so, some of its more core and unique skills are kept strictly secret.

"Sir, what should we do now?

What if the thieves attack the county? With our current defense force, we can’t stop them.”

Although Ma Wenchang didn't want to pay that money and grain, he had to pay it.

If they hold on to Niaoshu Mountain, it won’t be that easy to wipe them out.”

Even if Li Wenshu exaggerated a bit, the number should still be around one thousand.

"Clang!"

Just yesterday, August 22, the Tianqi Emperor Zhu Youxiao finally passed away after struggling for a month.

Although Wang Chao had sent people down the mountain to find ways to purchase iron materials.

After all, they were able to sell out their country to the grasslands and Jianzhou Tartars, so naturally they didn't mind selling it to him, a bandit.

Otherwise, as long as they have the raw materials, they don’t have to worry about sophisticated weapons, as they can ensure that every weapon is made of fine steel.

At this time, Wuchang had gradually recovered from his previous shock. Seeing the looks of the two people, he couldn't help but feel resentful in his heart.

But at this time, an imperial edict came down from above that Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao had passed away, and Prince Xin Zhu Youjian, Emperor Chongzhen, succeeded to the throne.

"Yes, leader!"

They have made all preparations to send troops.

However, when it comes to high-end knowledge such as military affairs and imperial examinations, they are still very conservative and will not be easily spread.

On August 23, in the Wenhua Hall of the Imperial Palace in Shuntian Prefecture in the capital, Prince Xin Zhu Youjian knelt on the ground. Behind him, Duke Yingguo Zhang Weixian, Prime Minister Huang Liji and other ministers and officials knelt in a large crowd.

You can't want the horse to run without giving it grass to eat, right?

Even if you give less, you will have to give it eventually.

"I will mobilize two battalions of troops to go and encircle and suppress those bandits and rioters.

But Lord Ma also knows that the food and fodder must be sent before the army moves, and dispatching troops is not something that can be accomplished in a day or two."

Soon, Emperor Tianqi passed away, and the edict of Prince Xin Zhu Youjian's succession to the throne was announced to the whole country.

If they can really settle down in the future, he will definitely ask people to study blast furnace iron and steel making.

Chen Ying suddenly realized that he had really lost his mind. He didn't even consider the current situation and thought that being alive was good enough, but he still cared about the so-called military strategy that was not worth mentioning.

After hearing what Chen Ying said, Wang Chao finally smiled.

Admire this! "

His current requirements for standard weapons have not yet reached the level of necessary fine products.

When they got the news, they were all numb.

If they started a war at this time and exposed the infestation of soldiers and bandits in their jurisdiction, would it cause displeasure to the newly enthroned emperor?

So, for the sake of safety, should we postpone the bandit suppression campaign for some time?
