Dragon Soul in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 96

Zhu Gan didn't know that he had also been tricked into a big game of chess by someone, but once he became ruthless, it must not be deduced by common sense.

There are more than 2 recruits in the battalion, plus more than 1000 veterans from Zhuozhou and Tongzhou as officers and leaders. They marched very fast, passing through the busy mountains, and they arrived at Huangmei County not far away. You can see Jiujiang City.

The leader of the new battalion was Ma Zhiming, who was a dozen or so people who followed Zhu Qian in the first rebellion in Zhuozhou City. Although he didn't know a few words, he was loyal enough to Zhu Gan. He changed completely and started to study seriously, and he also fell in love with reading, and would read at night with a book every time he was free.

Now those old brothers can lead the army alone, but he is still like a nanny, taking care of these recruits, feeling depressed for a while, but seeing the gloomy sky, dense forests ahead, extremely precipitous, this is a dangerous place.

He yelled backwards, "Come here!"

A young general with a white face, wearing a red cloth, with a bright red belt tied around his waist, ran forward with high spirits, bowed and said, "Brother, what's the matter."

This is the little brother of Ma Zhiming's family, and he came here to join him, but Ma Zhiming asked him to start from the smallest soldier. At this time, when he heard his beloved little brother call him brother, his face was ugly, and he shouted sharply: "Presumptuous! Are you still up and down?" Noble, this is in the army, who gave you the courage!"

The white-faced young general was yelled at by his own brother, his face turned red, he didn't know what to say, he just looked at him with a look of fear, he really wanted to be different, he usually loves his brother so much, Why did he suddenly become so vicious.

As the saying goes, the higher you hold, the more painful it is to fall. He has been cared for by this brother since he was a child, and the two have a deep relationship. Now his brother has become the commander of the Red Army, commanding more than 1000 veterans, and even more so. After more than 2 recruits came here to seek refuge, they naturally showed some love.

Ma Zhiming's subordinates also praised him highly, plus he learned boxing since he was a child, and his martial arts are so strong that he looks like the proud son of heaven.

The Hui nationality regards martial arts as a "sacred practice", and it has always been true: after drinking the water in the mosque, the size will also be souped and the legs will grow.In the early Ming Dynasty, there were even more rumors: Ten Hui returned to protect one Zhu, and Ten Hui returned to protect the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang's top ten generals: Chang Yuchun, Feng Sheng, Lan Yu, etc. It is said that they belonged to the Hui nationality. Waiting for the thief, it is obvious how active Huihui was at the time of the Ming Dynasty.

Only because of the prosperity of martial arts, the Kunlun School he created, together with Shaolin, Wudang, and Emei, is known as the four major schools of Chinese martial arts. Zhu Qian did not feel alienated because Ma Zhiming wanted to return. At this time, Huihui and the Han people are as close as a family, and there is no such extreme thinking at all.

Ma Zhiming is really very familiar with his younger brother. Seeing him gritted his teeth and clenched his fists with a face of grievance, he seemed unconvinced, and sighed from the bottom of his heart, his master is by no means a kind-hearted person. Well, if he can't change his brother's temper now, it is very likely that he will become a dandy in the future, and he will only be harmed in the end.

Seeing that he still didn't repent, he snorted coldly and said, "If you don't obey the rules, then I have no choice but to expel you from the army and go home by yourself!"

The white-faced young general gradually relaxed, raised his head, and said with a stubborn expression: "My lord, what are your orders?"

Ma Zhiming pointed to the mountains in the distance, and said in a cold voice: "You take the lead to investigate in the mountains. If there is any movement, report it immediately."

His own brother became his pro-army as soon as he came, which would make many people feel dissatisfied, but that's how people are, and what they fight for is not for themselves?It is one's duty to pull a brother on the horse, but if he is a person who cannot be supported by mud, then if he insists on helping him up, then he will not keep his duty and will not know what is good or bad.

He is very aware of his brother's kung fu. Although he is a little proud, he has real kung fu under his hands. It can still be of great use if he leads people to inquire about news.

Ma Zhixiang led the order, picked out a few people who flattered him, and rode forward quickly.

Looking at the back of his younger brother going away, when he learned of the people he had picked, he was silent. These people are usually smooth-talking people, and even the most basic training would be lazy, so he couldn't help but sigh : "It's still vanity, it can't make a big deal!"

Zhu Gan didn't know that his general was worried about his younger brother. At this time, he led 5000 people to do nothing and stationed outside the city. Obviously, he was at loggerheads with the people in the city, but he was secretly paying attention. Looking at the marching situation of the more than 2 new troops, I dare not be careless or make mistakes.

At this time, whether it was the Guanning cavalry that was moving south quickly, or the Ming army from all over the country, they all received orders from the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi at the same time. Don't do it, just put on a deterrent posture, and then he will play to the court to reward the generals, and when he arrives at the army in Huangmei County, he will also reward the three armies with silver.

This meaning couldn't be more obvious, either to follow the red army to eat ashes, or to come to Huangmei County, he will give money, then it is up to him whether he will obey the order or not.

Compared with the two, it is natural to choose the lesser one. Do I still need to choose for this multiple-choice question?Everyone led their soldiers and rushed towards Huangmei County. The wealth of the Li family is well known in the south of the Yangtze River!

On the top of Meilin's city wall, a semaphore suddenly came out, Cao Bianjiao wanted to fight with the generals of the red-clothed army at the bottom of the city, and asked the red-clothed army if they dared.

This is a siege, people inside the city want to come out, people outside the city want to go in, no one can do anything to each other, they are all cavalry, so they should have a good fight in the field, but people on both sides are not willing to just like this against each other.At this time, Zhu Gan was also anxious. The reason why he stayed here was not because he was afraid of missing the cavalry in the city. He had no logistics and was not afraid of their harassment.

He stayed here for another purpose, but if he didn't solve the danger in Meilin County early, it might be an important part of his failure. Now the people in the city couldn't bear it first and wanted to fight him. He was naturally happy in his heart.

"Fighting generals is just because the population was declining in ancient times, and the two armies fought each other. They didn't want to use a special method that appeared after the war, a large number of young and strong laborers died. Fighting generals will greatly affect the morale of the two armies. If the general wins, one side wins, and the general loses. If you lose, you will completely dominate the situation on the battlefield, and it will also make the war controllable and lose its diversity." Zhu Qian whispered softly, and asked people to play a semaphore to fight.

"It's such a good strategy!" Zhu Gan sighed, seeing the strategy very clearly. The officers and soldiers defended the city, and if they lost, they would only lose a general. The official army rushed out of the city, and the loss was not a general, but the more than 5000 cavalry.

Although he understood the thoughts of the city, Zhu Gan remained calm. He wanted to see which general the officers and soldiers could lose.

The city gate slowly opened a gap, and a man wearing red soft armor came slowly against the fine rain, and his horse's hooves knocked on the mud, ticking.
