Princess Consort Is No Pushover

This time, hundreds of people left.

After these people left, Chu Xuanchen made a rough estimate and found that there were about 4,500 people left.

Seeing that none of these people left, he said, "What about you? Do you decide to stay or leave?"

After thinking about it for a while, the soldiers said, "Stay here."

"That's right, there's a lot of chaos outside here, and I can't even get food. I'd rather stay and receive training than go out and starve."

"Me too. I heard that His Royal Highness Li Wang is very powerful, and his soldiers will eat meat with him. Let's stay and have a try. Maybe they will also eat meat?"

"Yes, then we all stay here and don't go anywhere!"

Hearing these words, Chu Xuanchen said calmly: "Have you all thought it through clearly? Are you willing to stay? With this king, there is no chance of repenting. If anyone dares to desert in the future, this king will severely punish him!"

After everyone thought about it, they felt that it would be more promising to stay, and said: "We are willing to stay, to listen to the command of the prince, and to defend our home and the country with the prince."

"Okay, those who can stay, I believe they are all elites. From tomorrow, I will come to train you personally, and I will definitely train you into an army like Xuan Ce's army." Chu Xuanchen said loudly .

"Okay!" The soldiers immediately shouted three times.

In this way, Chu Xuanchen took over the army and named it Zhennan Army.

The so-called Zhennan naturally means guarding South Vietnam and defending the South.

After taking over, he trained them like he trained Xuan Ce's army.

In his army, everything must be done in accordance with military discipline, no one can be lazy, no one can gather together to gamble, no bad habits are allowed, and no one can bully the people.

The soldiers have to get up at five o'clock every day for training, listen to the horn and act, and those who arrive late and leave early will be punished.

When it's time to go to bed at night, as long as the drums are played, everyone must turn off the lights and go to sleep, and it is forbidden to make noise and fight.

In addition, Chu Xuanchen also formulated other rules.

For example, peddlers or women cannot be brought into the barracks, and soldiers are not allowed to go out privately, nor are they allowed to spread rumors to disturb the morale of the army, otherwise they will be dealt with by the military law.

Under such strict military discipline, gradually, this originally very lazy army gradually became disciplined and qualified, and slowly moved closer to Xuan Ce's army.

Chu Xuanchen is a person who clearly distinguishes between rewards and punishments. He will punish the soldiers for their mistakes, but he will also reward them if they are meritorious.

He is fair and just to everyone, cares about every soldier, gives both kindness and power, and often trains, eats and sleeps with the soldiers.

As the saying goes, "If the army has no reward, the soldiers will not go; if the army has no money, the soldiers will not come."

It means that if the army has no money, the soldiers will not come; if the army has no rewards, the soldiers will not go forward bravely.

So while establishing discipline, Chu Xuanchen also paid for it himself to improve the food for the soldiers.

Not only that, he also increased the salaries of the soldiers.

After this series of reforms, Chu Xuanchen quickly gained the approval of a large number of soldiers and recovered a group of loyal soldiers.

Now, he has a usable army again in his hands.

When Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue came from Shengjing City, they brought a lot of food and money.

However, the expenditure in South Vietnam was too great, and it didn't take long for the money they brought with them to run out, and the food was gradually bottomed out because it had to be distributed to the people.

Seeing this situation, Chu Xuanchen hurriedly sent Mozhu back to Shengjing City to get the silver.

Chu Xuanchen has several hidden villas in Shengjing City.

The rental income from his land, the income from shops, and the income from Yun Ruoyue's restaurant and pharmacy will all be scattered in those villas.

This time, after Mozhu went back, he wanted to get money from the villa. He wanted to buy a lot of grain and other things to bring back to South Vietnam.

In a flash, Mozhu has been gone for a long time.

Calculate the time, he should be back in a few days!

As a result, as the day of his return approached, Chu Xuanchen never heard from him.

Now, Chu Xuanchen felt a little worried.

Mozhu has always been a punctual and trustworthy person, but this time he didn't come at the appointed time, did something happen to him?

He bet so much treasure and food, will he encounter bandits on the way and be robbed?

In the barracks, when Chu Xuanchen was very worried, Mo Li walked in with a face of panic, "My lord, it's bad! Mo Zhu's convoy was hijacked by a group of bandits!"

Chu Xuanchen narrowed his eyes coldly, it turned out that his guess was right, Mo Zhu had indeed met a robber.

He immediately asked, "Where's Mo Zhu? Is he alright?"

"The people who heard the news said that Mozhu is fine, but a lot of our food and money have been taken up the mountain by bandits, and Mozhu has already led people to chase after him!" Moli said anxiously.

Chu Xuanchen gritted his teeth coldly, with a stern look on his face, "Okay, this group of bandits dare to hijack the king's belongings. Mo Li, go and order 500 soldiers, and let's grab the food back!"

"Yes." After Mo Li finished speaking, he hurried out to find someone!

Chu Xuanchen looked at the front with cold eyes. This time, he could just try the skills of the Zhennan Army.

Let's see if they have improved after so long of training.

-

Soon, Mo Li ordered soldiers.

Chu Xuanchen immediately took these soldiers and ran straight to the place where Mo Zhu was hijacked.

Mozhu was hijacked at the foot of a deep mountain. When Chu Xuanchen led the people there, he only saw the mess all over the ground and the bodies of some guards, but he didn't see Mozhu and others.

There was a lot of grain scattered on the ground, as well as cloth and other daily necessities.

Seeing this, Mo Li hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it seems that Mo Zhu must have caught up. This gang of bandits is very arrogant. I'm afraid Mo Zhu is not their opponent. We have to save him quickly."

Chu Xuanchen nodded, "Well, Colonel Luo, you are familiar with the terrain here, and you know where the bandit dens are, so you can lead us the way."

"Yes, my lord." After Xiaowei Luo finished speaking, he hurriedly led the way for everyone.

This Colonel Luo was originally a soldier in the barracks.

Chu Xuanchen saw that he was practical and capable, not lazy like others, and trained very hard, so he was promoted to captain.

He was a local and knew where the bandits were hiding, so Chu Xuanchen asked him to lead the way so that everyone could save them.

With Colonel Luo leading the way, everyone quickly found the bandit's den.

When he arrived at the bandit's stronghold, Chu Xuanchen saw Mo Zhu and several guards from Prince Li's Mansion fighting with a group of bandits.

Because Mozhu and the others brought few people, they were already surrounded by these bandits at this time.

Seeing that Mozhu's and the others' lives were in danger, Chu Xuanchen immediately led his troops to rush forward.

Those bandits never expected that a group of regular troops suddenly rushed up from the foot of the mountain, and there were quite a few of them.
