"Chen Wang?"
Hong Chengchou frowned slightly, and he seemed to have some impression of the name that came out of Sun Shoufa's mouth.
"I remember that in the previous battle report, his name seemed to be on the Qiutou Town encounter."
Although Hong Chengchou did not have photographic memory, his memory was much better than ordinary people. After all, he was also a Jinshi in the second class.
"The military sect remembers it well. This is the person General Cao recommended."
Sun Shoufa bowed his head in response, and at the same time took out two documents from his arms.
"When I saw the name, I sent someone to investigate because I was not familiar with it. This person's resume is summarized here."
Sun Shoufa took a step forward, placed the two documents on the table in front of Hong Chengchou, then stepped back to one side and stood waiting.
"The first document is Chen Wang's resume, and the second document is a letter from General Cao from Pingliang Mansion."
Hong Chengchou nodded slightly to show his understanding, picked up the two documents handed over by Sun Shoufa, and opened the first one.
"People from Guangning, Liaodong..."
Hong Chengchou's eyes moved slightly. The document submitted by Sun Shoufa recorded Chen Wang's place of birth first, and then his meritorious service and promotion.
Cao Wenzhao's family background, Liaodong beheaded three levels, one of whom was beheaded, the Ministry of War found out that he was a white-armored soldier from Jianzhou.
Liaodong won two levels, raising the small flag first and then the general flag. The Battle of Four Cities won one level and was promoted to the trial hundred households.
Entering the pass and suppressing, captured thirty-two heads, fought dozens of battles, big and small, without missing a beat or missing a beat.
In fact, according to merit, he should have been a hundred households, but at that time, he surpassed Cao Wenzhao's merit, so these gains were in vain in the end.
"Promoted to General Manager in one month?"
Hong Chengchou noticed one of the details.
This Chen Wang was originally a servant. After the Battle of Qiutou Town, he was directly promoted to the Chief Hundreds and became the General Commander. After recruiting troops, he was promoted to the General Commander during the Battle of Pizhou.
It is indeed reasonable to try for a military position in a hundred households and be appointed as a general, and it is reasonable to be a servant and a close confidant of a general, but this promotion is indeed a bit fast.
Hong Chengchou was a little skeptical. Not long ago, he was just a top soldier, and now he has more than 400 soldiers in four bureaus under the general command. Management is a huge problem.
"Is this Chen Wang the one who was behind the scenes in the Battle of Qiutou Town?"
Hong Chengchou turned his head and asked Sun Shoufa.
"Exactly this person."
Sun Shoufa nodded in response.
In the documents of the Battle of Qiutou Town, Cao Wenzhao wrote the name of Chen Wang, who had meritorious deeds in the rear, killing and wounding hundreds of the enemy's elite cavalry troops, and beheading five levels.
Hong Chengchou pondered for a while, seemed to have thought of something, and then pulled out another document from the pile of documents on the table.
After just a few glances, Hong Chengchou's eyes changed.
During the Battle of Pizhou, this person was indeed on the record of victory. He formed a formation and defeated the enemy's troops. He defeated the enemy's remnants outside Zhankou Town and defeated the enemy's elite cavalry. He beheaded a total of 270 people in the company. .
If it is based on merit, it is enough to promote him to a thousand households.
Qianhu's military position indeed matches that of Mr. Qian.
Hong Chengchou's eyes moved slightly, but he did not ask any more questions, but first opened another document sent by Cao Wenzhao.
Cao Wenzhao had served under him for many years, and he thought he knew a lot about him.
Cao Wenzhao was experienced and calm in his dealings, and would never put an inappropriate person in an inappropriate place.
Hong Chengchou originally thought that it was probably Cao Bianjiao who came to take over. After all, Cao Bianjiao was a general who had returned home due to illness, and his troops were transferred to others.
Although Cao Bianjiao joined the general this time, he followed Cao Wenzhao as a general and did not lead a single battalion.
As he opened the documents, Hong Chengchou's frown slowly relaxed.
After putting down the documents again, Hong Chengchou's expression returned to normal and he said in a deep voice.
"Send a message to Cao Wenzhao. No matter who he recommends, I will hire him, but I must deal with the Liao soldiers in Chunhua."
"We are facing a formidable enemy, so we can't cause any more trouble."
Sun Shoufa stood to the side, looking at the opened documents with some curiosity in his heart.
He guessed at the contents of the document and wanted to know what Cao Wenzhao had written in the letter, which made Hong Chengchou change his view.
However, Sun Shoufa was able to achieve guerrilla status all the way not only by virtue of his bravery and military exploits, but also by his handling of affairs. Therefore, he did not ask any questions, but bowed in response and then withdrew from the military tent.
After Sun Shoufa withdrew from the military tent, Hong Chengchou turned his attention to Cao Wenzhao's letter again.
The information Cao Wenzhao wrote about Chen Wang in his letters was far more detailed than what Sun Shoufa had gathered.
The Tartar heads that Chen Wang obtained were not level three, but level seven, but four of them were sold for money. This kind of thing is normal in Liaodong.
Not only that, Cao Wenzhao also explained Chen Wang's family background clearly, and also elaborated on matters such as the rear palace, military training, and marching one by one.
After reading the letter delivered by Cao Wenzhao, Hong Chengchou already had a general impression of Chen Wang in his mind.
""New Book of Ji Xiao"...Qi Jiguang..."
Hong Chengchou picked up the tea cup placed on the table. He held the saucer in one hand and the tea lid in the other and took a sip of tea.
The weather in Shaanxi in July is hot and people feel exhausted, so herbal tea can relieve the heat.
"Chen Wang..."
Hong Chengchou put one hand on the table and tapped his index finger lightly on the table.
He became slightly interested in the people recommended by Cao Wenzhao.
Hong Chengchou has naturally heard of Qi Jiguang's name. The two military books written by Qi Jiguang, "Records of Military Training" and "New Book of Jixiao" are not banned books, and he has read them both.
In addition, he has also read military books such as "Array", "Sun Tzu's Art of War", etc. Otherwise, he would not be able to sit in the position of governor of the three sides and be able to command and dispatch so many armies.
There were many powerful armies in history, and many of the generals who led them wrote military books, recording their training methods, armaments, etc.
However, there are very few people who can train strong soldiers according to the regulations.
Some are due to blind copying, some are due to incomplete implementation, and some are due to insufficient understanding.
But this Chen Wang seemed to really have a talent for military training, as Cao Wenzhao finally reported in his letter.
"The orders are strict, the rewards and punishments are faithful, and no soldier dares to live without his life."
"On the 13th, it rained heavily, and there was no military order to take shelter from the rain. No one moved the officers and soldiers in the training department. From the time of You to the end of the day, the plants stood still."
"At the end of the day, I will watch him lead the troops to drill and march, and fight in formation, just like the soldiers of Zhejiang in the past, and I can fully understand their form and meaning."
…
"History of the Ming Dynasty·Biographies·Volume 100"
Ji Guang patrolled the fortress and suggested building an enemy platform. Briefly:
"...However, the soldiers on the border are strong and the generals are unfit for military law. Please recruit people from Zhejiang to form an army and use them to encourage bravery."
The governor discussed it and agreed to it. Three thousand soldiers from Zhejiang arrived in the suburbs of Chen.
It rained heavily from morning to night, and the plants stood still.
The border troops were shocked and knew the military order.
