After sacrificing the flag, Cheng Yuqian led the main force of the Qin Wang Division to go first from the waterway, Li Zhuo, Wang Xueshan and other officials of the Jiangning government departments and departments, as well as the Jiangning nobles who gave Wang Shi a farewell, all returned to Jiangning City by boat one after another, and the luxury Feihu had no excuse to stay on the north bank; The Gu officials stayed behind to give Lin Jian and the three thousand people a separate meal.

"This trip is difficult, to preserve the priority, the record is not slightly weaker than the Chinese army, the right army, there is a rhetoric, even if it is an erosion, it is not the law to blame the public, there is no need to worry too much about punishment......" Gu Wuchen also knew at this time how Lin Tie tricked to make more than 1,000 people brave to run five hundred miles in three days, and it was appropriate to teach him face-to-face in private, the so-called appointment to come, King Qin's capture is, and all the people in Jiangning did not have the luxury of hoping that 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers could make any great achievements in King Qin's journey north, Gu Wuchen didn't want Lin Tie to go north to King Qin's loss, and lose a strong arm, At this time, there was no one under his door who could replace Lin Bin's position.

"I will act on the occasion and will not disgrace the adults." Lin Jian said.

"Well," Gu Wuchen nodded, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Lin Bin, "You go to Yanjing, you have the opportunity to meet the ancestor of Si Yuan, you give him this letter for me." Zhang Xiang and Si Yuan's grandfather will also support you more, and if he has any instructions, you must also do your best......"

"Of course." Lin Jian said.

Gu Wuchen patted Lin Lian's shoulder and said, "Everything has to be done by yourself...... beckoning the others to come over, "I'll go back to the city first, there is still a mess in the city." You all stay and do it for me, explain many things clearly, and don't have ambiguities. ”

Gu Wuchen, under the escort of Yang Pu and the cavalry, first returned to Jiangning City by boat. Zhao Qinmin, Gu Siyuan, Zhang Yubo, Liu Xilin, Sun Jingxuan, and the Lin family all stayed at the ferry, and the arrangements for the handover and logistics of the more than 2,000 people recruited by Jiangning had to be carefully discussed, and the 3,000 newly recruited people had to go by land, and the appointment was very urgent, and the matter was extremely complicated.

Lin Tie made Zhao Hu immediately lead the soldiers to Sixteen Lipu, restrain the more than 100 people who were still stranded there, take the post road to Xisha Island, and take care of each other with the big loach master Ge Cunxin waterway, along the way to gather the fallen people, stationed on Xisha Island, under the command of Fu Qinghe, in order to prepare for the East China Sea Kou.

Three days ago, from Xisha Island with Lin Bin, including more than 100 elites who came from Changshan Island in time, a total of more than 2,000 people, from Chongzhou south to Jiangning north 16 miles, a total of more than 450 li, a total of nine stations along the way, so that Lin Mengde and the big loach master Ge Cunxin moved in advance, holding the banner of recruiting Wang soldiers along the way to make the local Lijia hire people, prepare sufficient supplies, Lin Tie delayed the day to lead more than 2,000 people to march in formation.

With a forced 50-mile station, the stragglers and those who are weak or weak-willed are eliminated and left for later reorganization, while the rest of the people are resting on the spot and replenishing their physical strength before reorganizing in a new formation. It was in this way that the nine stations of the road ran for nearly 500 miles in three days, and finally more than 1,100 people rushed to Gutang County Sixteen Mile Pu to assemble, and the people who rushed to the sixteen Mile Pu each issued ten taels of Anjia silver, and Lin Jian just chose a thousand people from it to come to the ferry to meet.

The 3,000 people gathered in the open space outside the ferry, and the cold wind blew, and the people who sat on the ground in the open field shivered and shrank.

Lin Tie reorganized his armor, walked to the high platform in front of the array with a knife, and looked at these people who crowded and occupied a field of more than 200 steps, although the people of Xisha Island were tired, but they were determined, not afraid of cold and hardship, and could be the backbone of this trip to the north; There are more than 600 people in the estuary, most of whom are villagers in Shanglinli, and they are also the most prepared, changing into military uniforms, wearing winter clothes, swords, spears, spears and shields; The most worrying thing is the more than 1,400 people newly recruited from the displaced people on the north coast. In just three or five days, it was impossible to get the vast majority of illiterate peasants and homeless people out of the slightly neat queue, let alone form an independent army.

"The vast majority of people in the audience used to be farmers or apprentices in shops, hired workers in workshops, fishermen in rivers, and perhaps a small number of people have done things such as stealing chickens and dogs, blocking roads, robbing, working as rogues, and being bandits. I can't eat enough in my hometown, I don't want to starve to death, or I have to flee from the chaos in my hometown; Many people have only touched hoes, palladium, kitchen knives, and forage cutters before," Lin Jian stared at everyone in the audience with sharp eyes, and said loudly, "The previous events have all passed, and no one will investigate them, and no one will pay attention to them." From this moment on, you are all part of the Fifth Battalion of the Left Army of the Jiangdong Qinwang Division. Take up your sword, take up your spear, take up your spear, take up your shield, and bring your bow and arrow, and face an enemy that may be a hundred times more vicious than you. All the things like 'I have only farmed, I have only struck iron, I have only fished, I have never killed anyone, I have never killed people or seen blood,' and so on, are no longer excuses for me. From today on, you are a pawn in the fifth battalion of the left army of Jiangdong Qinwang's division, and it is your duty to eat military rations, take military salaries, defend the land and kill the enemy. Just as you were born to work in the field, it is your duty from now on to obey orders and defend the land and kill the enemy. If you go north to the king and make contributions, I won't say much. The head is scarred and the people are dead, but your wives and parents will have support and support from now on, and they will no longer be homeless and thieves who will starve to death in the countryside on the streets......"

Jiangdong Qinwang Division, 3,000 private independent army, five battalions of the left army.

As the night deepened, dozens of campfires were burning, and more than 200 soldiers who had been temporarily transferred were setting up camp tents in five battalions.

Lin Jian put up the banners of the battalions, and he wanted to scatter the three thousand people here and divide them into five battalions.

In addition to the first battalion, which was formed by Xisha Island Jianyong, Lin Jian personally served as the battalion commander, Ao Canghai was the deputy commander, and Chen Huamian, Li Chai, Yao Xing, Ma Po Monkey and other more than ten guards were the head of the sixty soldiers, the newly recruited Minyong on the north bank of Chaotiandang and Hekou Minyong and Xisha Island Minyong were completely broken up and mixed into the remaining four battalions.

Lin Jian even incorporated more than 100 elites transferred from Changshan Island into these five battalions, so that they could accumulate military merits and grow together with the rising backbones of the people's brave army to become the backbone of the five battalions of the left army, rather than directly appointing them. On the one hand, it is to prevent the secrets of Changshan Island from being discovered by outsiders too early, and on the other hand, it is also to grow the fifth battalion of the Left Army into a more cohesive elite soldier.

Of course, Lin Jian led the army north to King Qin, and along the way, he incorporated thieves, giant bandits, and mountain bandits into King Qin's army to strengthen his combat effectiveness, which were all privileges that he could decide within the scope of his duties.

Only if you can hold an elite combat force of 3,000 people in your hands, the charges of banditry or anything are all floating clouds.

Except for the first battalion, which directly set up a relatively complete command system, the other four battalions were all mixed, and only the acting commander and the deputy flag leader were temporarily designated, and the complete command system should be set up after it was run in and perfected on the way north.

At the moment, at least the journey from Jiangning to the northeastern border of Shandong is relatively safe. Lin Jian and Fu Qinghe analyzed that there were very few generals in Hebei and in various Qinwang divisions who dared to fight with the Dongyu Iron Cavalry, and most of them would be stationed in separate cities, which means that after they entered the territory of Hebei, it was very likely that they would engage the Dongyu Iron Cavalry on the periphery.

Lin Bin's goal was to use a month's time to march to the border of Hebei, so that the fifth battalion of the left army and the small cavalry had the courage and ability to fight.

When the sacrificial flag was performed, Lin Jian not only got the Guan Fang (temporary recruitment, related to defense, no official seal) under the command of the fifth battalion of the left army of the Jiangdong Qinwang Division, but also got a large stack of blank confessions and letters.

Lin Jian immediately decided that he, Zhou Pu, Cao Ziang, Ning Zechen, and Zhao Qingshan would be the commanders of the five battalions of the left army, and filled in these five blank notices and handed them over to the Jiangning Military Department for reporting.

Cao Ziang, Ning Zechen, and Zhao Qingshan all have their roots, and Zhou Pu led a battalion as Lin Lian's servant, which was also the privilege of Lin Lian as the commander of the five battalions of the left army.

In addition to Lin Jian as a civil official, Cao Ziang, Ning Zechen, Zhao Qingshan, and Zhou Pu were awarded the rank of Yu Cavalry Captain.

The people of Jiangning thought that Lin Tie led 3,000 people to go north to King Qin was no different from sending him to death, so the establishment of the five battalions of the Left Army was relatively loose, and Lin Tie used his servants as the battalion commander, and Cao Ziang and Ning Zechen, the leaders of the displaced people, as the battalion commanders, and they also regarded it as if they hadn't seen it, after all, they were counting on others to send them to death, and they couldn't give any sweetness before leaving.

Of course, it is impossible for Jiangning to be particularly generous to the three thousand people of the five battalions of the left army who rushed to the army. The battalion command has a battalion of 600 soldiers, which is already considered a middle-level military rank in the town army system, and the feather cavalry lieutenant is only the rank of military attache of the ninth grade, and the other commanders and banner heads are not awarded the rank of military attaché. In the town army system, usually the commander of the capital of the sixty soldiers is a low-level military attache below the rank of the eighth rank cloud cavalry captain.

Although Suihu is a lowly status, it does not affect the low-level military positions in the army, which is also a serious manifestation of the phenomenon of private military in the town government of the world, many generals use Suihu to hold low-level military positions or some military attachés as Suihu, give preferential treatment in salary, and give other military attachés impossible privileges to control the elite in the army. This also made other military attaches and non-commissioned officers in the army the targets of exclusion and oppression, resulting in the overall decline of the combat strength of the town army.

It was busy until the second half of the night that the soldiers of the five battalions were roughly arranged and settled, so that they could return to their tents to eat and rest. Lin Lian, Ao Canghai, Zhou Pu, Ning Zechen, Zhao Qingshan, Cao Ziang and others are not allowed to rest, and they will distribute equipment on the road tomorrow, and there is still too much preparation to do.

Zhao Qinmin, Lin Jingzhong, Gu Siyuan, Lin Xuhong, Sun Jingxuan and others are all waiting here, not only to help prepare military preparations and logistics affairs, but also to witness the process of Lin Tie forming the army.

At the very least, it seems that the people brought by Lin Tie from Xisha Island and the people raised by the estuary are usable, and it is also feasible to break up the displaced people on the north shore and coerce them to go north.

Such a heavy and arduous task, except for Lin Bin, probably no one else can take on it, but Zhao Qinmin and Gu Siyuan also saw that if the fifth battalion of the Left Army returned from going north this time and grew into an elite division, probably only Lin Jian could command it.
