"Since it is the governor's order, we will do our best."
Tan Yingfeng looked solemn, clasped his hands into fists, and spoke righteously.
Although Chen Wang is only a commander, he is the commander of Hanzhong Guard.
But Tan Yingfeng knew very well how much he, the commander of the guard, weighed, so he chose to follow his heart without any psychological burden.
He only has one head above his shoulders. He thinks his life is too long, so he dares to compete with the deputy commander-in-chief guarding Hanzhong Town?
What's more, there are several great figures above Chen Wang, including Cao Wenzhao, the commander-in-chief of the Suppression Army, Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, and Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides. He could only lie on the ground and answer any one of them.
Chen Wang said that he was ordered by Sun Chuanting to reorganize the guard station, and it is definitely true to organize military affairs.
Generally, the general and deputy generals are posted in the Governor's Mansion, but Chen Wang is posted in the Hanzhong Guards. This is already evidence.
You must know that although the commander of Hanzhong Guard also holds a third-grade military position, not many people take this third-grade military position seriously, and it is not as valuable as the military position in the Governor's Mansion.
"The Hanzhong Mansion has been in turmoil for many years. The forces of rogue bandits have gradually grown. The soldiers and people in the mansion are suffering unspeakably and are deeply poisoned by the rogue bandits."
"Although we have the intention to kill the thieves, we are powerless, and many attempts to suppress them have ended in failure."
Tan Yingfeng let out a long sigh, feeling bitter and resentful.
"Fortunately, Mr. Chen later entered the mansion and first beheaded Zhang Yuan and then Wang Cheng, thus resolving the crisis in Hanzhong Mansion."
The corner of Chen Wang's mouth twitched involuntarily. He was worthy of being a commander of the guards. Although he was not good at fighting, he could talk flattering words without blushing and his heart would not beat. His acting skills were also top-notch.
If he hadn't known about Tan Yingfeng and he was no longer the first brother in the officialdom, he might have been fooled by Tan Yingfeng's awe-inspiring appearance.
With Tan Yingfeng as the commander, he brought a group of soldiers to fight against the bandits. This was the last time they faced off against Zhang Yuan outside Hanzhong City.
At that time, the remaining commander and comrade in the guard followed Zhou Yumao to fight. The commander Qian Shi who originally led the army was beheaded by Zhang Yuan in the battle of Buckwheat Mountain.
There were not many people left in the guard who could lead troops, and the prefect of Hanzhong Prefecture was urging him urgently. King Rui was also in Hanzhong City, so Tan Yingfeng was forced to lead the troops in person.
Then that time, Zhang Yuan also made a concerted effort, which almost cost Tan Yingfeng his life.
After that battle, Tan Yingfeng finally lost the courage he mustered up, and then he started to be a coward again.
Chen Wang put down the tea cup and glanced sideways at Tan Yingfeng, his face a little dark.
"I'm just here to rectify the shortcomings in the house, so there's no need to say too much flattery."
Tan Yingfeng's expression froze slightly. He saw Chen Wang's face darken for a moment, and then he instantly understood that his flattery was on the horse's leg this time.
After the Battle of Hanzhong, Chen Wang indeed killed Zhang Yuan and became the general of Hanzhong.
But immediately afterwards, Gao Yingxiang led hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to surround Xing'an City.
Four of the county seats in Hanzhong Prefecture were lost to Chen Wang.
He also said that he had solved the crisis in Hanzhong Mansion. It was really a pot that was not opened and raised.
"The governor ordered me to increase the number of classes in Qingtun and train soldiers. Can you hand over the relevant books and documents for a review?"
Chen Wang leaned on the back of the chair and said calmly.
You need to be extremely careful about what you say and do in court, because most of them are people who can't afford to offend.
It is easy to dodge open guns but hard to guard against hidden arrows. Those civil servants seem to be helpless and they talk about benevolence, justice and morality, but in private they are all using dirty tricks and ruthless tactics.
But now among the Hanzhong Guards, he doesn't have to abide by most of the rules above the officialdom.
His own identity and status suppressed more than just two or three people under his command.
During this period, Chen Wang also roughly gained an understanding of his identity and status, and also understood why his many promotions went so smoothly.
After Cao Wenzhao went to Lingbao to meet Hong Chengchou, he actually became Hong Chengchou's direct descendant.
In this era, home
The relationship between Ding and the general is as close as one of the same family.
As a servant of Cao Wenzhao, he was naturally classified as a direct descendant by Hong Chengchou.
Later on, supplies continued, and so much armor and equipment were provided, so there was no shortage of military pay. It was also for this reason.
Chen Wang originally thought that all the battalions received similar supplies. Later, when he met Zhou Yumao, he realized how miserable the battalions without identity or background would be.
More than a thousand regular soldiers can't even get six hundred collars of cloth armor.
When he was in Chunhua, the logistics team sent by Hong Chengchou brought him nearly 400 pieces of cloth armor.
Although he is above the court, as the deputy commander-in-chief, he is still just a little shrimp.
But in this three-acre area of Hanzhong Mansion, especially Hanzhong Weizhong, he does not need to look at other people's faces, but needs others to figure out his thoughts.
"Ok, Ok."
Tan Yingfeng nodded repeatedly, not daring to say no, and then turned to give instructions to Wang Yuankang, who was sitting cautiously beside him.
"Yuanyasu, why don't you go get the document and give it to Mr. Chen for review."
Wang Yuankang stood up immediately after hearing the order. He bowed to Chen Wang before exiting the hall, and then ran out quickly to get the book.
"How many regular troops are there in the guard now?"
Chen Wang's eyes lingered on Wang Yuankang's back for a moment, and then moved to Tan Yingfeng.
"this……"
Tan Yingfeng's face was slightly condensed, and he hesitated a little.
"I'm talking about how many people there actually are, not how many people are on the booklet."
It is very common among the soldiers to eat empty pay and drink soldiers' blood, but in fact it is not too serious on the front line. After all, if you want to survive in a war and suppress, and if you want military merit, you can't deduct too much. At least your subordinates must. Some soldiers and servants.
However, these inland guard stations have been peaceful for a long time and have not had to fight for many years. There are not even a few patrol officials. The numbers on those documents are just a joke.
"Should, should..."
In late autumn in October, although it is located in a basin, the temperature in Hanzhong Mansion is not high.
In this kind of weather, you can only feel a little warm if you wear cotton-padded clothes.
Tan Yingfeng was not wearing cotton clothes, but ordinary silk clothes, but there was dense sweat on her forehead.
Chen Wang looked at Tan Yingfeng who was hesitating, and instantly understood what was going on.
Tan Yingfeng's current expression and behavior were exactly like an unprepared student who was suddenly asked a question in class, and he didn't know the question yet.
I'm afraid Tan Yingfeng didn't manage military affairs at all. He didn't know how many regular soldiers there were. He probably didn't even know how many people were on the books.
"There should be about two to three thousand people..."
Tan Yingfeng raised her sleeves and wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said in a suspicious tone.
Chen Wang paused the question and glanced at Tan Yingfeng again, feeling no anger in his heart.
In fact, it is far better to have a loser as the commander of the Hanzhong Guard than to have a shrewd and capable person as the commander of the Hanzhong Guard.
The wine bag and rice bag are more convenient to stand up and do not require much effort and effort.
Chen Wang nodded, ending the topic about the number of people, and turned to ask another question.
"What is the division of affairs in Wei Zhong now?"
We can't get much information from Tan Yingfeng. It's better to ask directly who is responsible for the affairs, and then go directly to inquire and investigate.
Although the number of military households in the guardhouse was not as large as that of civilian households, the affairs that needed to be dealt with were not much less than those in prefectures and counties.
When Hanzhong Mansion was in turmoil for a long time, there were naturally more matters that needed to be dealt with.
Within the first guard, there are many affairs, including fielding, inspecting troops, camp drills, patrolling, preparing for the army, sending out sentries, entering the guard, garrisoning, weapons, etc.
The inland garrison has been unable to survive the war for a long time, camp operations and garrison operations have been suspended for a long time, and the military households are all farmers.
Because of the rogue bandits, the Ying Cao Guards picked them up, but
Yes, it's all superficial.
The camp drills included practicing gun formations and walking in formation. These arrangements for guarding were previously arranged by Zhou Yumao as a guerrilla in Hanzhong. It was Zhou Yumao's right to transfer and send them wherever they went.
When Chen Wang took over as the general, the power that belonged to Zhou Yumao had already been in his hands.
When he took office, Chen Wang naturally asked Zhou Yumao to briefly understand the current situation of Hanzhong Wei. After some profiling, he actually already had a rough outline of today's Hanzhong Wei.
Seeing that Chen Wang did not continue to ask, but changed the question, Tan Yingfeng breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.
He still knows who is responsible for what affairs, after all, many of them are arranged by him.
Tan Yingfeng laughed along and pointed to a middle-aged man with a thin body, a yellow face and a long beard who was sitting not far away and introduced.
"Battle operations and patrols are generally handled by Li Shiqi and Li Tongzhi."
When the middle-aged man saw Tan Yingfeng's introduction, he stood up and bowed again.
After receiving Chen Wang's nod, he sat down carefully again.
"Yang Mingcai and Yang Qianshi are basically responsible for preparing for the defense, sending out sentries, and entering the guard."
A slightly shorter young military attache wearing a red arrow suit who was also sitting opposite stood up and saluted. Chen Wang also nodded in response.
"As for the internal affairs of the army inspection, fielding, and military equipment, most of these are arranged by Wang Yuankang and Wang Qianshi. I just ordered him to get the documents."
Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.
Before Tan Yingfeng finished speaking, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the hall, and Wang Yuankang, wearing a scarlet military attaché uniform, had already stepped in.
Tan Yingfeng stood up in an instant, but just as he stood up, he stopped unconsciously. He secretly glanced at Chen Wang, who was sitting next to him.
His behavior was a bit rude, and he was afraid that it would cause Chen Wang's displeasure, but Chen Wang still seemed calm and composed, not paying too much attention to his actions.
"Wang Qian came at the right time. You are responsible for the farmland, weapons, and internal affairs."
Tan Yingfeng walked forward quickly, as if seeing a savior, and took the document from Wang Yuankang's hand, and then pulled Wang Yuankang directly to where he was sitting.
Chen Wang didn't react much, but Wang Yuankang was startled by Tan Yingfeng. The look in Tan Yingfeng's eyes was really wrong, and she held his hand as soon as she came.
Although he knew that Tan Yingfeng's orientation was normal and that he had three or four children under his knees and was definitely not as good as Long Yang, he still felt a little numb.
"Master Chen wants to know how many regular soldiers there are in the army now, so you can answer Master Chen's question."
Wang Yuankang felt relieved. From the look in Tan Yingfeng's eyes just now, he thought that Tan Yingfeng had awakened to the habit of cutting sleeves.
As long as it wasn't anything strange, he could remember very clearly how many people there were in the regular army, whether it was in the documents or in reality.
After all, he was in charge of internal affairs, and the number of people was small. When it was necessary to recruit sergeants to fight in the war, he also allocated money to find people to fill the gaps.
"Just tell the truth how many people there are, and don't mention the records in the booklet."
Chen Wang took the album that Tan Yingfeng had just put down. Most of the things written on the album were still details.
We can learn about the situation of most of the military households and craftsmen in Wei, as well as the number of fields, and last year's income and expenditure. However, the writing is quite brief and can only be understood briefly.
"What I have sent is just a brief summary for the time being. The specific documents will be placed in the Experience Department of Wei Middle School."
Generally, the general guard command and envoy department has an experience department, a town hall, a martial arts school, and an official bureau.
In charge of the transfer of documents to and from the Experience Department, the documents will also be stored.
The Zhenfu Office is in charge of the affairs of the guard sergeants, and the general military law and so on are all responsible for the Zhenfu.
There is also a prison in the Acropolis, which is also managed by the governor.
Wei Zhenfu is from the fifth rank,
The grade is slightly lower than Zhengqianhu.
Wang Yuankang subconsciously glanced at Tan Yingfeng sitting next to him, feeling a little hesitant in his heart.
However, Tan Yingfeng naturally did not give any response at this time, and directly avoided Wang Yuankang's sight and moved elsewhere.
Wang Yuankang was a little helpless. He understood Tan Yingfeng's nature, and he was not surprised at all that Tan Yingfeng reacted like this.
"Reporting to Lord Chen, there are actually 1,275 regular troops in the guard."
After Wang Yuankang pondered for a moment, he decided to tell the truth directly.
Under this situation, Chen Wang made it clear that he wanted to rectify Wei Zhong's affairs and would definitely investigate them thoroughly.
If you bite the bullet and refuse to say anything, or report random numbers, you won't be able to get Chen Wang in the end.
It is impossible for Tan Yingfeng to take the blame for him. He will be responsible for losing his official position when the time comes.
"One thousand, two hundred and seventy-five people?"
Even though Chen Wang had been mentally prepared for it, he still almost lost his balance after hearing this number.
There were many categories of guardhouses in the Ming Dynasty, and their sizes varied. Some had only three thousand-household offices, while others had seven or even more than ten.
But generally speaking, according to standards, a guard station has five thousand-household stations, and each thousand-household army has about 1,200 regular troops. If the regular army of a guard station is full, there will be almost more than 6,000 people.
Hanzhong Guard is the most standard guard station, with five thousand-household stations under its jurisdiction.
What Chen Wang learned from Sun Chuanting before was that there were still three to four thousand people registered.
At that time, he made an estimate, and then thought about the fact that he had seen the Guards before, and after excluding the people who had made up the numbers, it seemed that there should be about 2,400 to 500 people. Therefore, when he reported to Sun Chuanting, he said that there should be about 2,400 people. About two thousand people.
But now Wang Yuankang told him that the entire Hanzhong Guard only had more than 1,200 regular soldiers?
Such a large Hanzhong Guard can only make up the number of regular soldiers for a thousand households? !
