Since being carried away from Wuyi County by Chen Yue, Qian Fenglin has experienced extremely complex psychological changes.
Qian Fenglin was born as a Jinshi in Wuyi County, so he was naturally more knowledgeable than others.
He had already seen that the Ming Dynasty was exhausted, and it was inevitable that Dashun would replace the Ming Dynasty as a thriving force.
So he decisively surrendered to Dashun at the beginning, but who would have thought that Chen Yue would lead his troops through Wuyi County and take him south without any explanation.
At the beginning, Qian Fenglin was afraid that Chen Yue would kill him and his family on charges of rebellion.
Later, he slowly realized that Chen Yue had no ill intentions at all, and then he became more relaxed and happy.
Regarding Qian Fenglin, Chen Yue did not arrange his duties, but only used him as an aide.
Chen Yue took him south because he was very capable and didn't want him to stay in the north.
After all, the Mantars would soon leave and occupy the north.
Chen Yue, a capable official like Qian Fenglin, didn't want to keep him.
Give full Tatar.
During these days following the Pingnan Army southward, Qian Fenglin gradually saw the difference in this army.
Military discipline is strict and plundering of the people is strictly prohibited.
This alone has distinguished the Pingnan Army from other Ming armies.
High-intensity training, strict formations, and orders and prohibitions made this army have a combat effectiveness that far exceeded most of the Ming army.
Going all the way south, traveling more than two thousand miles in the area controlled by the intruder army, it was like entering an uninhabited land, which gave Qian Fenglin a deeper understanding of this army.
Slowly, he began to take the initiative to help the army handle some things.
After all, since he was already in the army, he couldn't just eat for free.
If that was all, when Qian Fenglin saw Chongzhen returning from the sea, his shock could not be greater.
Unknowingly, he rescued Emperor Chongzhen from the north.
Chen Yue's ability and ambition are so great.
Maybe the Ming Dynasty can really be revived.
From then on, Qian Fenglin's mind shifted unknowingly.
He hesitated and no longer believed that Dashun Daiming was inevitable.
Perhaps, with Chongzhen reaching the south safely and with the Pingnan Army with strict military discipline, the Ming Dynasty could still be saved.
Chen Yue once promised Qian Fenglin that he would help him run a new official position and become a county magistrate again.
However, Qian Fenglin refused.
He preferred to stay in the Pingnan Army because he was very optimistic about Chen Yue's future.
After bidding farewell to Huang Degong, Chen Yue returned to the camp.
Now that he was about to break camp and send out troops, there were too many things that he needed to deal with personally.
"Master Marquis, Zhang Chengkai has just arrived.
He said that the army's food reserve is less than one month and it is in urgent need of replenishment.
Please ask Master Marquis for instructions."
Just as he sat down in the tent, He Lu came over with a document in his hand and said to Chen Yue.
"Send a message to the governor of Yangzhou and order him to prepare military rations quickly."
Chen Yue said.
"I have already written the document, please have it read by Lord Marquis."
He Lu said to Chen Yue with a smile on his face, and handed the document in his hand to Chen Yue.
While Chen Yue was reading the documents, He Lu quickly washed the cups and made Chen Yue a cup of tea.
"Make a cup for Magistrate Qian."
Chen Yue tied the teacup and casually ordered.
"Ah" He Lu grinned and poured a cup for Qian Fenglin reluctantly.
Ever since Wang Yin and Yuan Kewang were asked to become officials by Chongzhen, He Lu had regarded himself as Chen Yue's first staff member, but who could have imagined that there was another Qian Fenglin, who was becoming more and more valued by Chen Yue.
After all, I have no fame.
If I also have the reputation of promoting people to Jinshi, the Marquis will definitely trust me more.

He Lu feels sorry for himself.
"Master Hou, Chief Li wants to see you."
Chen Yan, the leader of the personal guards, walked in and said to Chen Yue.
"Let him come in."
Chen Yue nodded.
"Master Marquis, we don't have much gunpowder in the army.
We fought the traitor Gao Jie in the middle of the night in the last battle and consumed more than half of the gunpowder.
We have to replenish it.
Do you want to buy saltpeter and sulfur?
We ourselves Make gunpowder" The old man Li Xiong, who was to be the camp leader, came in and shouted to Chen Yue.
"Also, that old guy Lu Sanyou asked me to ask Lord Marquis if we need to make some tanks.
Our tanks were all left behind when we came out of Tianjin.
Without tanks, how can the infantry brothers carry them?
We can't just let people carry armor and supplies in the future.
Also, if we have a chariot, we need mules and horses to pull it.
Should we go buy mules and horses now?”
Li Xiong spoke in such a long voice that Chen Yue's head got dizzy.
"Stop, stop, Mr.
Li, put aside the matter of mules and horses for now.
Isn't there a shortage of gunpowder?
Time is urgent now.
There is no need for us to make it ourselves.
I will write the paperwork and you can go to Yangzhou Mansion to ask for it.
There is gunpowder in Yangzhou Mansion's treasury.
There should be no shortage.”
Chen Yue quickly stopped Li Xiong and ordered He Lu to write a document asking for gunpowder.
After a while, three or four groups of people came to ask for instructions on various trivial matters in the army.
"Oh, I really don't have a moment to relax."
After everyone was finally sent away, Chen Yue said to Qian Fenglin beside him.
"Master Hou, there is something I don't know whether to say appropriately."
Qian Fenglin hesitated to speak.
"It's okay to say whatever you want."
Chen Yue waved his hand.
"Master Marquis, you are the commander-in-chief of an army.
You cannot be troubled by these trivial matters every day.
You should add some staff and civil servants to help deal with matters in the army."
Qian Fenglin said.
"I think so too, but you also know that this journey is all about marching, and there is never a moment of peace.
Where can I find the time to look for people?"
Chen Yue sighed.
Originally, Wang Yin and Yuan Kewang were helping with some matters, but now that Chongzhen wanted to leave, He Lu's abilities were limited, and Qian Fenglin was not very familiar with things in the military, so a lot of time fell on Chen Yue himself.
"Master Marquis, what I'm talking about is not as simple as finding a few aides.
You are now the Marquis of Pingnan, and you are also the governor of Jiangbei, personally appointed by the Holy Emperor.
In the future, you will be in a high position of power.
The entire military affairs of Jiangbei will be handled by you.

It is not the current one.
An army of ten thousand people is comparable.
By then, you will have hundreds of thousands of troops under your command, and you will govern several prefectures, dozens of counties, and nearly tens of millions of people.
How can all kinds of things be handled by just a few staff?
My subordinates suggest that you should set up special functions to manage special things like the imperial court or prefectures, such as those in charge of food, logistics, weapons and gunpowder, and even counselors, military affairs, marching operations, etc. " Qian Fenglin's eyes shone brightly, and he spoke his suggestions to Chen Yue in a hurried tone.
"Are you talking about setting up a shogunate?"
Chen Yue said slowly.
"Yes, it means setting up a shogunate.
However, the imperial court will definitely not give you the title of shogunate, Lord Marquis.
However, it is within the scope of your authority, Lord Marquis, to grant military positions to civil servants."
According to the management of the Ming Dynasty, whether it was the governor or the governor's office, there were only a few well-established court officials.
In order to deal with large-scale affairs, local governors would recruit their own staff.
Staff are not official officials of the court and do not have specific official positions, so they can come and go freely and are not easy to manage.
Qian Fenglin suggested that the shogunate established by Chen Yue should be modeled on the form of staff, but it was not staff.
Instead, like the Liucao of the Six Ministries and County Governments of the imperial court, the staff in charge had formal positions.
Of course, it is impossible for such a position to be recognized by the court, and no civil servant is willing to hold such a position.
However, with Chen Yue's authority, it is still possible to give military positions to some hundreds of thousands of households.
After listening to Qian Fenglin's suggestion, Chen Yue's heart skipped a beat.
According to Qian Fenglin's suggestion, he established not only a staff, but a yamen specifically to help him handle various military affairs, which would greatly improve the efficiency of the army.
There are dedicated people responsible for various general affairs, and the general can devote all his energy to marching and fighting.
Logistics, food, pay, ordnance, and command rights can also be divested, so as to avoid the monopoly power of the generals under his command.
At the same time, a picket department can also be set up to monitor whether the generals of various ministries make any changes.
With this shogunate, he will have the ultimate control over his troops.
This shogunate is completely set up by himself, and even the court cannot give direct orders.
Qian Fenglin could come up with such an idea.
He is really a great talent.
Chen Yue looked at Qian Fenglin with burning eyes, making his face turn red.
"Hou, Lord Hou, is there something wrong?"
Qian Fenglin touched his face and asked stammeringly.
"That's right, that's very right."
Chen Yue laughed loudly and slapped Qian Fenglin hard on the shoulder.
"Sir, you are responsible for this matter.
Which departments should be established, what their names should be, and how many subordinates should be there.
After you think about it carefully, write a document for me to review."
"Yes, Lord Marquis."
Qian Fenglin's heart was filled with joy as he rubbed his painful shoulder
