Until the afternoon, there were still endless guests visiting each other. Qian Yuan couldn't wait any longer, so he asked Tan Lun to take Tang Shun's eldest son Tang He who was visiting the door to entertain guests. He took Lu Bin and others to the clinic to find an empty room to sit down.

"Forget it, why are you still pouring tea here?" Qian Yuan waved his hand. Even on the first day of the Lunar New Year, there were people in the clinic who were on the charge, and Qingwen was on the rotation today.

Qian Yuan glanced at Yang Wen and said to Qingwen who was out, "Go."

Yang Wen was stunned for a moment before he reacted, turned his head to look at Zhou Ze...

"Ahem." Qian Yuan scratched his nose, remembered wrongly, it was Zhou Ze who looked at Qingwen, "Go."

Lu Bin and Hou Jigao were watching him in a daze. Lu Bin even called Zhou Ze, but unfortunately he ignored him and finally found an opportunity!

"The first thing is to recruit soldiers." Qian Yuan cheered up. "Today, I discussed with the prefect Tan and Mingtang. The government office temporarily allocated a batch of silver. The Taizhou big households will donate it. They will recruit 3,000 soldiers with Chuzhou and Jinhua. It is better to have nothing than to be too bad. If the lack is not enough, you can choose the township hero from Taizhou to make up for it."

"Okay." Lu Bin nodded and said, "It's easy to deal with money. I asked my personal soldiers to return to Chuzhou before the New Year, which could bring at least three or four hundred people, and in the Jinhua Mansion..."

As he said that, Lu Bin's eyes fell on Qi Jimei. Qi Jiguang and Yiwu recruited nearly 5,000 soldiers twice. Qi Jimei followed them. This line was ready-made, and there was no reason to give up.

"I'll talk to Yuan Jing." Qian Yuan waved his hand, "I am the same year as the magistrate of Yiwu. Jimei took me to write a letter, but one thing is that we must be better than to be too little. The soldiers are not too much but the elite."

"The military elite is not about weapons but about training." Hou Jigao said softly: Taizhou is often attacked by Japanese pirates, so the local brave men who recruited the army often know some fists and feet, and their courage is extraordinary, but the training effect is actually not as good as the young and strong men recruited by Yiwu."

Qi Jimei said in a muffled voice: "So my elder brother recruited soldiers, and he practiced troops twice before he could be used in nearly half a year."

"No, half a year is too long." Qian Yuan said decisively: "Xu Hai will not be willing to be lonely. He only has two goals, one is the southeast coast and the other is Wang Zhi."

"In the past, the war started, the number of soldiers and generals was lost. Xu Hai would not go to war with Wang Zhi rashly. Last year, Xu Hai invaded Jiaxing and Huzhou. Although he was defeated in Tongxiang County for a while, overall, he had a lot of benefits." Hou Jigao analyzed: "Xu Hai will inevitably invade again this year, and we don't have much time."

"First recruit troops to form an army, after half a month of training, we will practice while fighting to train." Qian Yuan said coldly: "You have recruited a total of 2,000 soldiers before, but this is why I proposed to recruit 3,000 soldiers."

Lu Bin and the other three fell silent and used war to train troops. For example, the Qian family guards recruited newcomers in Taizhou immediately changed their lives after two major battles between Changshui Town and Tongxiang County, but this was very cruel. Most of the dozens of people killed in the guard team were newcomers.

Qian Yuan ignored the silence of the three people and continued: "Although we saved some face in Jiaxing Prefecture a few months ago, Xu Hai actually returned from a great victory. Since then, Ningbo, Taizhou and Shaoxing Prefectures have been frequently attacked by Japanese pirates, and there are opportunities to train troops."

"I will allocate some of the equipment from the Taizhou government office, and the blacksmith will make it as soon as possible. If not enough, go to the Governor's Office..." Qian Yuan looked at the map temporarily hanging on the wall, "There is no need for the entire army to be dispatched, thousands or hundreds of people will take turns to patrol and fight, and all the veterans and new soldiers..."

Lu Bin glanced at Yang Wen in the corner from the corner and whispered: "Zhan Cai, it's simple to say, but it's really short of staff."

"General Qi also fought in a small formation, and he had the same skills as us." Hou Jigao analyzed: "Now, thirty people in the army are in a team, with the chief and deputy captain, and five teams as officials to lead the president."

"Each team of four wolf teeth, twelve spearmen, eight shield players, and the rest are equipped with long swords, short spears, and bows and arrows."

"In addition, the number of bird gun teams is uncertain, depending on how many bird guns can be obtained."

Qian Yuan was thinking while listening, that this was very different from the Yuanyang Formation in history, and it also showed good results in several battles, but it also had weaknesses. For example, in the great victory of Tongxiang County, the real Japanese who entered the formation almost disrupted the entire front, but Zhong Nan led Tianzhou wolf soldiers to check for the missing.

Qian Yuan did not have the talent to directly command operations, but he knew very well the importance of the reserve team. This was an important force that could enter the battle at critical moments, either turn the tide or cause the opponent to collapse.

After explaining carefully, Lu Bin and Hou Jigao looked at each other, and the former said, "Zhancai, this is considered a personal soldier. Generally speaking, each soldier has more than a dozen personal soldiers around him."

"Not enough, one general commands five teams, more than a dozen personal soldiers... the orders are all very difficult." Qian Yuan shook his head, "Each general command must be equipped with at least one team of thirty personal soldiers."

“Where is the equipment?”

"Don't have a wolf's teeth, just a few spears, use long swords more often." Qian Yuan sighed: "It's a pity that Tian Zhou's soldiers are about to return to their hometown..."

Tian Zhou's soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and they travel through the mountains all year round, with a flexible body shape. If each soldier is equipped with thirty wolf soldiers, they will be much safer if there is any danger.

However, Tian Zhou wolf soldiers went to war as early as the 33rd year of Jiajing, and they were replenished twice during this period. The number of people who fought exceeded 5,000. Most of them had military achievements but also suffered heavy losses.

Last year, the wolf soldiers of Tian Zhou were released from the cage by Hu Zongxian at a critical moment. They first rushed to Cixi and then returned to Yuyao, and beheaded hundreds of them. Unfortunately, Mrs. Wa was seriously injured several times and was about to set off to return home.

Qian Yuan thought in his mind that he would recruit 3,000 soldiers to train, leaving more than 2,000. In addition, more than 4,000 veterans before, there were about 200 people. The six teams under the command of the general command were only 5,600. I wonder if he could get five or six hundred wolf soldiers with this face...

After coming back to his senses, Qian Yuan found that Lu Bin, Hou Jigao, and Qi Jimei were all staring at him, and couldn't help but laugh and scold: "I know what you are going to do, so I've been eyeing it long ago... Okay, it's a bargain!"

Hou Jigao laughed and said, "Wang Yi, Yang Wen, Zhang San, and Zhou Ze have killed many Japanese in recent years, and the guard team is even more famous all over the world. Only this time, the exhibition will release the tigers to return to the mountains and dragons to the sea..."

"What are you thinking?" Qian Yuan sneered, "It's impossible to give it to you all."

Lu Bin said at this time, "I want Yang Wen."

"I had been in Huating with Brother Yang..."

"As early as the Jiading victory, I fought side by side with Brother Yang!"

We can't blame them for robbing like this. Yang Wen was famous after several major victories in Jiading and Chongde County. The previous year, he pursued Japanese pirates thousands of miles ago. Yang Wen was determined to defeat Japanese pirates several times. Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang all had the intention and tried several times, but Yang Wen thought about it for a long time but refused.

However, now in Taizhou, Yang Wen, a local, has long been unable to help it. Liang Wen and Zhou Ze and several rising stars have privately asked Qian Yuan to apply for recruitment.

"Yang Wen, Zhang San, Zhou Ze all gave you all, Lao Wang left the commanding guard team. How to divide it is your business, but you can't let them down!"

As soon as Qian Yuan said this, Lu Bin nodded vigorously and said, "Yang Wen, Zhang San are all generals, and Zhou Ze still leads the bird gun team. Can you be generals in the future... it depends on how many bird guns you can get."

"Don't be anxious." Qian Yuan turned around and asked, "How many people are in the guard team now?"

"The old man started recruiting seventy-two years ago. Many people took the initiative to come to the door, but they carefully selected fifty-three people." Yang Wen blurted out, "The recruitment continued after the New Year, and the total number was about 200."

"Recruiting troops as soon as possible." Qian Yuan thought for a while, "Give you a month, and then the old people who participated in two great victories in Jiaxing will draw forty people, and you will take them away together."

Lu Bin and Hou Jigao both opened their mouths, which was a surprise. They were both brave generals in the army and knew very well the abilities of the elderly people in the guards.

It is a trivial matter to be proficient in martial arts. The key is that they can immediately act as commanders at the grassroots level. In the two battles in Jiaxing Prefecture, Qian Yuan basically broke up the guards and distributed them throughout the front line, commanding the Yiwu soldiers to resist the impact of Japanese pirates.

It can be said that the first contribution of the two great victories lies with the Yiwu soldiers, but the first contribution of the Yiwu soldiers lies with the Qian family's guards.
