Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

() Quan Dashan finished a meal in a hurry, not sure if it was breakfast or dinner.These days, the life and training of soldiers is turned upside down.I heard from the captain that there may be a night march and night combat training soon, and after this night training, some outstanding soldiers will be selected from among the soldiers and promoted to deputy captains.So these days, I rest during the day and train at night.

All the soldiers knew that this was a good opportunity.As long as you become the deputy team leader, you are eligible to be transferred to the garrison master's personal army.And as long as he trains in the garrison master's personal team for one year, he can become the vice-captain of the centurion after he is released.This is a military officer, and for soldiers, it is a complete leap to the sky.

So Quan Dashan prepared to check the wheels of the two carts of his team during the period of rest after dinner to ensure that there would be no problems with the carts during the night march.

Quan Dashan's heart is not dark, and it is too far to become a soldier of the garrison, but as long as he becomes the deputy captain, he can get full military pay.In the past few days, Quan Dashan's mother also told Quan Dashan about a marriage, which gave Quan Dashan a goal to fight for.And seeing his brother-in-law Yang Qi's face glowing red every day, Quan Dashan's heart was always itchy.

Anyone who really thinks of it will appear.Just as Quan Dashan was preparing tools to check the wheels, brother-in-law Yang Wu sneakily showed his head at the door.

As soon as Quan Dashan saw Yang Qi, he took the tools out of the house angrily and walked towards the place where the big car was parked.And Yang Qi hurriedly followed behind, still shouting: "Brother Dashan, wait for me!"

Although Quan Dashan didn't look back, he still slowed down and let Yang Wu run to his side.Quan Dashan asked: "If you don't stay in your team well, what are you doing looking for me all day long?"

"Brother Dashan, I really need your help this time."

"What can you do, kid? Tell me quickly! I'm still busy."

"This... this... I just want to borrow some money from Brother Dashan."

Quan Dashan stopped in his tracks when he heard this, and asked, "What's the matter? Why is your family's money used up so quickly? My little sister married you, and our family confiscated any dowry gifts. But the guard gave it to you again 20 taels of silver. Where did you two spend your silver?"

"It's really not messy. It's just that my brother has just arranged a marriage and is ready to do things. But the bride price is still a little less."

"But don't you still have the 20 taels? You can't spend it all?"

"Hey! Didn't my little sister have it!"

"Ah!?" Quan Dashan opened his mouth wide at once, and then he became happy. He went to the cart and said, "I didn't expect you to be very capable! Alright! I'll tell my mother later, I'll borrow it from you first." Some money. But two or three taels at most."

Yang Qi was also very happy to see that Quan Dashan agreed to borrow money.He knew that Quan Dashan's family did not have much silver, and these two or three taels of silver were already more than half of Quan Dashan's property.

When they got to the cart, Quan Dashan checked the wheels with a tool, and Yang Qi chatted with Quan Dashan: "Brother Dashan, the situation these days is not quite right. We are all upside down day and night. And the night before You can train one or two centurions at most, and now, except for those cavalry members, all of them have to participate in night training, is there something going on?"

Quan Dashan gave Yang Qi a blank look and said: "It's useless to think about it, you kid. You also know what I know. I don't know anything more than you. But we are soldiers, what do the adults say? That's what we'll do. But you'll have to work hard this night, and you might have a good chance."

"I know. Our team also said that if we perform well, we can be promoted to the deputy team. But in our firecracker team, I'm not ranked high. On the contrary, Brother Dashan is ranked high in your spear team."

"Needless to say, I've been singled out to train axes and guns." Quan Dashan boasted a little proudly, "You kid should work harder, and don't dangle around every day."

Yang Qi opened his mouth to refute, but felt that there was nothing to say, so he closed his mouth.Quan Dashan sighed secretly in his heart, he knew that Yang Qi had been playing with his little sister in his free time before, so he delayed some training.But now that the younger sister has children, it's time for Yang Qi to calm down and start a career.

At this moment, the two of them suddenly heard the whistle of assembly.So the two immediately ran towards the meeting place.After queuing up, Quan Dashan saw the chief banner of his centurion coming to the front of the queuing.

The chief banner looked around at the soldiers of his centurion, and then said in a confident tone: "I just received an order from Deputy Zhou Qianhu, and our centurion will be the vanguard to go to Nanyang Prefecture to suppress the bandits."

The sudden order stunned all the soldiers.Although those soldiers didn't dare to scream loudly in the queue, the low voices of so many people still caused a commotion.The general flag looked around at the soldiers again, and all the soldiers immediately shut up, and the queue became quiet again.

"The destination of this bandit suppression is Nanyang Mansion. We have to march for five days and nights, and then capture a village and defend it. But since it is a battle, all brothers must be prepared for casualties. But don't be afraid, Most of our brothers have also had the experience of suppressing bandits. As long as you show your usual training level, this battle against bandits will not be too troublesome."

"Also, Lord Garrison is merciful, as long as the brothers who make meritorious service in the battle will be rewarded, the reward is at least to improve the level of the brothers. So you must remember, how to train in normal times, you must do it now. Don't If you panic, you will die."

"In addition, after marching every day, each team leader has to settle down his brothers, and must let every brother wash his feet. Every team leader must check the feet of his team's brothers while washing their feet. The foot soak must be picked out."

"Okay, now I will make my team a group, and I will give you an hour to prepare. Find some brothers who can write and leave home letters, prepare armor and weapons and put them on the cart of your team. Gather next to the cart, listen to the order and set off when the time comes. Do you understand? Disband if you understand!"

At this time, Quan Dashan was still pondering over Master Zongqi's words carefully, and he realized that if he made military achievements in this battle, then the rewards he got would definitely allow him to pay for the bride price.Because the money lent to Yang Qi just now has made Quan Dashan's dowry somewhat insufficient.

Quan Dashan looked at Yang Qi at the back of the queue, thought of the child in his sister's womb, and made up his mind to protect his brother-in-law.

In order to keep the secrecy of this troop dispatch, Wu Shigong decided to march his army at night.It is also thanks to Wu Shigong's long-term emergency assembly and night march training for his army that the army can maintain the speed of night marches.

The vanguard's five centurions set off first under the leadership of General He Fei.And in this team, there are also ten cavalry sent by the cavalry to help scout and lead the way.And the daily march of this army starts after the sun sets and ends before the sun rises.And will sleep and rest throughout the day.

Wu Shigong's preparations were very thorough.After the first two night marches, the footholds were all in Zhuangzi established after Wu Shigong settled the fields.In Zhuangzi, hot water and food were prepared for the vanguard army.

The campsite for the next two days was also carefully selected in a relatively remote place, where there were already arranged manpower to bring food to the army.

However, because it was camping during the day, the vanguard army still sent some soldiers around to prevent anyone from detecting the news.Once they saw that someone had discovered them, they would immediately detain them all, and they would not release them until the vanguard army set off again.

After four days of night marching, the vanguard army had already entered Nanyang Mansion, and it was only forty miles away from Dahuai Village in the middle of the mountain.

Then came the last day of the night march.In this night march, the vanguard army will rush to Dahuai Village in the early morning and occupy it, and then defend against possible counterattacks by the chaotic miners until the main force of Zhou Xun arrives.
