On the Beijiang River, dozens of boats are speeding briskly on the water, and there are guards in bright armor on the boats, and from time to time there are soldiers in thin armor swimming with the boats, sometimes getting on the boat to rest and sometimes swimming in the water.

The small boat headed by the sail is erecting a banner of the Qingyuan Weiqing City Thousand Households in the wind.

"General Yu, come back."

At the bow of the boat, Chen Mu stood in the spring breeze, and listened to Bai Yuanjie, who was sitting behind, say this, and looked back with joy. The resurgence of Yu Dayou illustrates Bai Yuanjie's vision, and it also means that the use of telescopes in military affairs can be used for the first time. At the same time, the greater the role of the telescope in the war, it means how much credit they or Bai Yuanjie have for dedicating the mirror.

Chen Mu? Chen Mu doesn't care about this credit, he only cares about friendship. The expectation of the telescope is just a bridge in Chen Mu's heart, he needs such a bridge to expand his possible network, and he does not expect small things to be promoted and rich.

He hoped that Bai Yuanjie could take this opportunity to be promoted, and even wanted Bai Yuanjie to sit in the position of the commander of Qingyuanwei.

How much can a person eat, even if Qing Yuanwei commands him, he may not be able to do a good job, but if Bai Yuanjie is a commander, it will be different, under Bai Yuanjie's wings, he can get enough to display his ambitions, this is enough.

What ambitions could he have? It's just that they have some money, some servants, enough to eat and drink, and maybe enjoy some of the convenience of high power in feudal society in the future.

These dozens of boats on the river are not the Qingyuan Wei sergeants, nor are they all the horses of the Qingcheng Thousand Households, only Bai Yuanjie's barbarian battalion and his subordinate banner army have a total of 500 people. Now the spring was busy with farming, but the governor Wu Guifang was in a hurry to recruit troops, and they were ordered to set off first when they had a ship, and the large army entered the boundary of Guangzhou Mansion by land and then went north to Shaozhou Prefecture.

But in fact, in Chen Mu's eyes, this is all the combat power of Qingyuanwei, and the more than 3,000 banner troops behind him are also the goods that fight against the wind, and they are basically defeated at the touch of a button when they encounter a negative situation, don't look at the number of people who are six times that of them, and if they really fight, they will be beaten all over the mountains and fields by their few 500 people.

"Qianhu knew before that this Li Yayuan was going to rebel?" Chen Mu looked at the sergeant of the barbarian battalion who was churning and swimming in the river water in front of the boat, and only turned back to Bai Yuanjie after a while: "I remember that you mentioned this name when you first came back from recruiting soldiers this year. ”

"He didn't want to rebel, he had already rebelled, and he had been in turmoil for several years." Bai Yuanjie is much stronger than Chen Mu in terms of news channels, and when he talks about the affairs of Guangcheng, he said: "There are many people like him, such as Huayi Bee, Wu Duan, Wen Qi in Guangdong, and Ye Danlou in Fujian, these people have been rampant in dangerous places for several years. When the court fought hard, they surrendered, and when the officers and soldiers left a little advantage, they turned into thieves, and the court beat them for many years, but the more they killed people. ”

Chen Mu smacked his tongue when he heard it, he just thought that at this time in the Ming Dynasty, there were Hulu in the north and there were Japanese robbers in the south, and it was already in dire straits, but he didn't expect that just a few hundred miles away at the source of the river would be entrenched in bandits with a population of tens of thousands, and he could still see such a prosperous scene in Guangcheng before!

"For several years, the government has never sent a large army to recruit like it does now?"

"Requisition for what?" Bai Yuanjie glanced at Chen Mu on the ground, "Don't talk about Guangdong anywhere else, General Qi is in Fujian to exterminate the Japanese invaders, and the rest of the Japanese invaders have all come to Guangdong, and the Japanese are running everywhere, what do you let the government take to requisit?" At present, this is also the only way to clear the vakos, and only then do they have time to free up their hands to crusade against them. ”

Chen Mu probably understood, "It's because the Japanese are more powerful than these anti-thieves, so they prioritize and destroy the Japanese first, and then kill them?" ”

"What you say is not much worse, although there are many thieves, but the old and weak women and children are all regarded as thieves, although the strength is great, but the combat power is far less than that of the young and strong and well-armed widows." Bai Yuanjie said and raised his hand to gesture to the left and right clippers, and said: "It's not as good as our soldiers, this is a good thing for you and me, this kind of battle is not difficult to fight, the difficulty is how to find the thief's headquarters, as long as you find him, you only need hundreds of elite soldiers to break through his department, and the rest will disperse from each other, this is the best opportunity to train the troops." ”

Bai Yuanjie said, glanced at Chen Mu, who nodded on the side, and said: "But don't underestimate the enemy, this kind of big battle is not dangerous as long as you follow the army, remember not to go deep, once you break away from the army and suffer from the encirclement, even if the old and weak women and children rush up, it will be useless to give you a hundred bird guns - you lead the bird gun flag to find an opportunity to release the gun, don't rush the enemy to charge." Don't expect to earn much merit in this battle, the total number of troops is 100,000, and whether there is a chance to go to the battlefield is still two words. ”

"Is there still a chance to play?"

Chen Mu paused for a moment before he reacted to Bai Yuanjie's words, "Then what are we going to do in the past, this guard army is open, 100,000 troops are gathered in one place, and the silver salary is heavy and consumes a huge amount of money!" Thousands of households, tell me about the doorway? ”

Originally, I imagined that there were tens of thousands of officers and soldiers and tens of thousands of thieves, and for a while, the entire Shaozhou Mansion was estimated to be turned into a combat field, what a big scene it was, when he thought of this, Chen Mu was both excited and nervous, but seeing Bai Yuanjie say so conclusively that there may not be a chance to go into battle, his nervousness disappeared a lot, and at the same time, he was disappointed in his heart.

If you can't fight, if you don't have meritorious service, it's better to let him go back to Qingyuan to farm, and if you have this back and forth for a few months, maybe you can still have some achievements in step shooting. What are you doing in Shaozhou Mansion, watching the excitement?

"The purpose of mobilizing a large army is to block the danger of the terrain and prevent the flow of thieves, and it is really used to break the battle of a few thousand, and in addition, it is also to defeat the tens of thousands of prisoners who will be crushed later. As for combat, huh...... There is the Qi family's army. Bai Yuanjie sneered noncommittally, "Do you still need the guard?" ”

"Qi Jiajun?" Chen Mu turned his head abruptly and asked, "Qianhu, you mean, the Qi family's army has also been recruited, can you see General Qi in this battle?" ”

The Qi family army, the Qi family army that swept the southeast!

Chen Mu had long wanted to see this general and his invincible army!

"General Qi? General Qi would not participate in this war, and after the elimination of Wu Ping, General Qi has been leading the naval army to sweep away the remaining Wei and stabilize the coastal defense at sea, so that Governor Wu can free up his hands to stabilize the civil strife. However, Wang Rulong, the general of the Qi family's army, is now a general in Guangdong, and he is most likely going to go with the army. Bai Yuanjie looked at Chen Mu's disappointment and smiled, got up and said with relief: "You want to ask General Qi Yuanjing for the art of war, right?" Don't be discouraged, there will be opportunities in the future, your official position is too low, even Bai Mou does not have the identity to enter the account. ”

Bai Yuanjie pursed her lips, and her resolute high cheekbones made her face more serious: "If you don't want to see mediocre people stealing high positions, let's make meritorious deeds and become a commander!" ”
