Daming wolf ride

Wujiazhuang is more than 70 miles away from Pingdu, [-] miles away from Laizhou, and more than [-] miles away from Dengzhou.

The current marching speed of the Jinzhou army is faster than that of the wolf cavalry and the personal battalion, but at most they can only travel less than fifty miles a day. The remaining two infantry battalions on the left and right will set off with the supply battalion, so the speed will naturally slow down. It can only travel forty miles.Such a speed is not worth mentioning in later generations, but in this era, it is also rare, and it does not rely on the elite of the Jinzhou Army.Any other army of the Ming Dynasty would not be able to do this. Thirty miles a day is the limit.

Worried that the Li Jiuzheng rebels under the city of Laizhou would divide their troops to seize Pingdu, so now the wolf cavalry and the pro-barracks are operating with the infantry, and only the reconnaissance cavalry will rush forward to ensure that they will not be suddenly attacked by the Laizhou rebels.

After asking those women and children, I learned that although this place is called Wujiazhuang, it is actually a small Wujiazhuang. There is another Wujiazhuang more than ten miles away, which the locals call Big Wujiazhuang.Since it is the village of Wu's family, the natural residents are all surnamed Wu.The land of China has always been like this. For example, Xujiahui in Shanghai in later generations, as the name suggests, was formed by people with the surname Xu in the early days. It has been called a lot, and this place name has been preserved.I don't know if this Wujiazhuangzi is still Wujiazhuangzi hundreds of years later.

Although more than 200 bandit civilians were dismissed from Pingdu City, there are still more than 100 women in the army.These women were all captured by the rebels from neighboring villages and towns, and some of them escaped from the city in time.Shi Dayong originally wanted to keep them in the city or give them some rations to return them to their hometowns, but there was nowhere to go.In the end, Nai stayed in the army. Firstly, he couldn't bear these poor women to be tortured by the rebels again. Secondly, he wanted to wait for the rebellion to be suppressed, to see if they could be married to Jinzhou Army Zhongerlang, so that the subordinates who fought with him You can also start a family. [

You must know that the Jinzhou Army has established itself up to now, except for the few who are the children of the military households in the guards, almost none of them have married.Some of the veterans are already in their forties, but they don't have a daughter-in-law yet, and all of them were victims of the Eastern captives in Liaodong.If you can start a family for these subordinates, so that they can leave offspring, and the incense will not be cut off, it can not be said to be a good deed, but it is also a wish of the general.

How many people fought on the battlefield in ancient times.Since Songshan, there are fewer and fewer familiar people around him. The bones can be returned, but the incense is cut off. Thinking about it is always chilling. If you can leave incense to all your subordinates, Dayong will lead them to fight in battle again. Wrapped in horse leather, it feels better.In ancient times, heirs were the most important, and the incense was passed on. The so-called unfilialism has three kinds, and the latter is the big one. If everyone can have a family and a son, it will be more grateful than rewarding them with gold and silver.

Although these women are not chaste, but they are also some miserable people, and they are also the same generation. Dayong is a descendant, so naturally he doesn't pay much attention to this reputation, and most of his subordinates are the generation whose families have been ruined. Eating this bowl of rice with severed heads naturally takes women's reputations lightly.As long as these women can leave children for them, feel at home when they come back from the battle, and have a mother-in-law bring meals when they are tired, this day will be considered heavenly, why would he still think about it.

After talking about this idea with the generals, the generals of course had no objections.No matter how hard this heart is, seeing these poor women return home and die at any time, no matter how hard-hearted they are, they can't see it.

Now the more than 100 lonely women are all in the supply camp, and among them are the two families who were snatched by Pingdu guard Jiang Maoran.These women survived the catastrophe, so they naturally became closer to the Jinzhou Army, and they did a lot of work in the camp, they only washed some soldiers' clothes.Before the rebellion was over, Shi Dayong forbade Erlang to get involved with them and issued a strict order, but anyone who committed adultery in the camp would be beheaded regardless of their background.

With Jinzhou's old army under pressure and Shahe's prestige of killing prisoners, everyone naturally did not dare to disobey the order, and they knew from the Shangguan that these women will be in the army in the future. In the future, they will all be wives of fellow countrymen, brothers' wives, how can they be bullied!

Now let those dozens of women and children be with these lonely women, the food in the camp can barely last another day, and it is enough to eat.The lonely people also know that the army is short of food and grass, this will give them a shelter, it is not easy to give them a bite to eat, so how can there be complaints.Just don't know what the future holds.

The thousands of rebel captives brought in from Pingdu city were not treated like those women and children. They were driven out from the city without a single bite of food, but they had to be coolies pulling carts, which was extremely miserable.But no one dared to cause trouble, and the shining knives and guns were not decorations, they killed people when they said they would.The captives also judged from the direction of advance that the officers and soldiers were going to Dengzhou, and they only hoped to arrive in Dengzhou as soon as possible to end the war. The court may think that they are just thieves, although they have done a lot of evil things, But after all, he is not the first offender, so he can be punished lightly.

After setting up camp in Wujiazhuang, some soldiers brought dozens of large buckets, but in the buckets were some soup made from rotten vegetable leaves, some were as dry as dry grass, and there were even some unknown wild vegetables.There is some salt in the soup, but don't think about the oil, the soup that the officers and soldiers themselves eat is not seen, how can they, the prisoners, drink the oil soup.

The night was completely dark, and piles of bonfires began to rise. Except for the neighing of war horses, the huge camp was suffocatingly quiet.

In front of the bonfire, the silent Jinzhou soldiers swallowed the food in their hands without saying a word. Whether it was the old Jinzhou soldiers, the young men who belonged to Shahe, or the Sichuan soldiers, everyone knew that after tomorrow, there would be no food in the camp. To run out of food.

What should I do if there is no food?

Everyone had doubts in their minds, but when they saw the figure of Lord General, their hearts calmed down a little.

Before reaching a desperate situation, the generals can always find a way.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, there were quarrels.

"This is the case, and we can only gamble. Is it true that brothers should eat that human flesh?!"

"Let's not talk about whether there is any luck to intercept the grain. Even if it is intercepted, what should we do in Dengzhou? Once the grain truck is intercepted, the rebels will be alarmed, and our whereabouts will be exposed. At that time, under the strong city, we What are you going to use to attack the city?"

"The success of this matter is very low. It's better to go out and grit your teeth and do that beast. As long as Dengzhou is taken, our Jinzhou army will have a way to survive, and it will be returned to Liaodong for one day. If Dengzhou cannot be taken, our Jinzhou army will be defeated." It's over. Don't you guys know which is more important and which is less important!"
