    In the camp of the 20th Corps of the People's Army, groups of burly men dressed in various uniforms drank and gambled. From time to time, teams of cavalry galloped by on horseback, and there was a commotion.

    As a newly rising armed force, the militia has sprung up in various parts of the Far Eastern Dynasty like mushrooms after rain.

    The 20th Corps of the People's Army is also a newly formed people's army unit. It is controlled by the governor of Jiangbei Province in name, but in fact it is controlled and commanded by the Qin family of Jiangbei Province.

    The Qin family is the leading family in Jiangbei Province, and it also occupies a pivotal force in the court.

    It's just that the Qin family is in a weak position now. Although there are several first-rank officials in the court, it is difficult to touch the core power level.

    The Qin family is naturally also very anxious. This time the imperial court ordered the recruitment of private soldiers from various families to suppress bandits. The Qin family felt that this was an opportunity for them to rise again.

    Therefore, in a short period of time, the Qin family took out the money that the family had saved for more than a hundred years, and quickly recruited an army of up to 50,000 people.

    Although the actual control of this army is in the hands of the Qin family, it was formed by imperial edict after all, so it was also registered with the imperial court and obtained the designation of the 20th Corps of the People's Army.

    Moreover, the imperial court also stipulated that the militia troops formed in each province must be controlled by the governor of the local province and fight under the command of the governor.

    After the formation of the 20th Corps of the People's Army, it also actively participated in the encirclement and suppression of various rebels in Jiangbei Province.

    ? Under the guidance of the policy of suppression and appeasement, the 20th Corps wiped out several insurgents in a row and incorporated several groups, and its reputation in Jiangbei Province was also great.

    Although the 20th Corps of the People's Army has not been formed recently, it has become an important combat force under the governor of Jiangbei Province, and its status even exceeds that of the regular provincial garrison and local garrison.

    The military armed forces of the Far Eastern Dynasty were divided into three parts, the central army, the border guards and the provincial army.

    The Guards and Black Cavalry of the Central Army are directly under the emperor's command and are also the core force to maintain the rule.

    The border guards are stationed in the border area all the year round, and their main task is to guard the country and be responsible for foreign operations.

    Provincial troops are stationed in each province and are directly commanded by the governors of each province, mainly fighting in the provinces.

    ?In each province, the provincial garrison and the garrison of each prefecture and county were the main combat forces.

    These troops suppress riots, wipe out bandits, and maintain local law and order are their main tasks.

    However, these provincial garrison forces and local garrison forces have been decaying and degrading over the centuries, making them unusable.

    Now in the face of uprisings in various places one after another, the governor of the province has no soldiers to use, so that he lost the city and lost the ground, allowing the rebel army to grow rapidly.

    Although the Central Army of the Dynasty is in better condition, apart from the Black Cavalry, the Guards are also vulnerable.

    It was under the circumstances of various internal and external troubles that the imperial court had no choice but to order the formation of a civilian army, hoping that this newly formed new force would be able to quell the rebels everywhere.

    The militia troops were formed by rich families from all over the country with money and people, and they also have their own small calculations, so their combat effectiveness is very strong.

    Although these militia units have not been formed for a long time, they have quickly stepped onto the stage of history and become a newly rising force.

    The 20th Corps of the Qin family's militia was the best among the militia, killing the rebels from all walks of life with fear, and gaining fame.

    At this moment in the camp of the 20th Corps of the Qin Family Army, Qin Chuan, the commander of the regiment who has been appointed by the court as General Xiaoqi, is receiving a handsome guest.

    This guest is just an ordinary middle-aged scribe, but he represents King Ning in Hezhong.

    "As long as the old general Qin sends troops to Luyang Province to help my prince, as my prince has said, he will definitely recommend a general to the court as the general who will suppress the bandits."

    This time, the purpose of the scribe sent by Ningwai to the 20th Corps of the People's Army is very simple, that is, to recruit soldiers.

    King Ning fought the Qinghe Army in Luyang Province, and lost troops and generals, and the Qinghe Army had no choice.

    Therefore, King Ning had to turn his attention to the neighboring Jiangbei province, hoping that the Qin family could lead their troops into Luyang province and attack the Qinghe army together.

    After hearing the words of this scribe, Qin Chuan, the general of Xiaoqi, who was over 70 years old, was also a little moved.

    After all, Xiaoqi General??It¡¯s just a mere fourth-rank general, and there are a lot of them in the Far East Dynasty, so it¡¯s not very honorable.

    Qin Chuan used to serve as a civil servant in the imperial court, and his position was not low. Now that he is leading the army in battle, the imperial court has symbolically awarded him General Xiaoqi, which can be regarded as abandoning literature and pursuing military affairs.

    It's just that Qin Chuan felt that the mere fourth-rank Xiaoqi general was really useless, and he still wanted to go further. Even if he died, he could let his heirs inherit the title of general.

    General Ping Zei is a third rank. Once King Ning recommends it to the imperial court, the imperial court will definitely not reject him. He is equivalent to being directly promoted to a higher rank.

    However, Qin Chuan is not too confused if he just wants to get the title of a third-rank general and wants to send troops instead.

    "I am aware of the difficulties His Royal Highness Ning is facing. The bandit army is arrogant, and I can't wait to get rid of it as soon as possible."

    "It's just that our army has just gone through a series of fierce battles. The soldiers are exhausted, and the weapons and armor are insufficient, and the road to Luyang Province is far away"

    Qin Chuan did not directly refuse to send troops, but just talked about a lot of difficulties faced by his 20th Corps.

    Seeing Qin Chuan with a face full of embarrassment, the scribe who was sitting there sipping tea also cursed the old fox in his heart.

    This scribe is King Ning's confidant, he followed King Ning to train the army, so naturally he knows the soldiers.

    He had wandered around the camp of the 20th Corps before, and saw that the soldiers of the 20th Corps had enough food and high morale, and it was not as difficult as Qin Chuan said at all.

    The scribe also knew that it was just that Qin Chuan wanted to take advantage of the trend and deliberately appeared powerless.

    "Before I left, His Royal Highness Ning Wang also said that as long as the old general leads his troops into Luyang Province, we will provide all the military supplies and supplies." The scribe put down his teacup and said.

    "His Royal Highness Ning is benevolent, the old minister is here to thank His Royal Highness Ning first, how about I let Gou Zi lead five thousand elite soldiers to Luyang Province?" Qin Chuan gritted his teeth and said.

    After hearing Qin Chuan's words, the scribe almost wanted to leave in a huff. Is this to dismiss the beggar?

    But he is also a well-mannered person, suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, smiling and shaking his head.

    "His Royal Highness Prince Ning originally wanted to hand over the three southern mansions of Luyang Province to General Qin's troops to guard them after the bandit army was wiped out. Since General Qin sent 5,000 people, it's okay to guard a county with this force.  The three prefectures are far behind, in order to prevent the bandit army from making a comeback, I am afraid we can only send troops by ourselves"

    "His Royal Highness King Ning really said that our army will guard the three southern mansions of Luyang Province after the bandit army is wiped out?" Qin Chuan sat up straight, staring at the scribes and asked.

    "This is a big deal, how dare I deceive the old general."

    "Since it is His Royal Highness Ning's intention, then I can't forgive His Highness Ning's kindness. How about it, give me three days, and I will personally lead an army of 50,000 to Luyang Province." Qin Chuan promised, patted his chest  road.

    "Old General Dayi, since this is the case, then I would like to thank the old general on behalf of His Highness King Ning."

    "It's easy to talk about, it's all about sharing the worries of the court." (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
