Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

"Don't be dejected, it's no shame to lose to our Runing Army!" Cheng Niu said with a smile while patting his horse.

Since he was in charge of pulling down the battalion fence, Cheng Niu followed behind the main force and did not win any battles.But Cheng Niu didn't get off his horse all the time, and he was really addicted to being a cavalry, but his weight weighed heavily on his horse.

It was not until the end of the battle that Cheng Niu got off his horse to feed him under the order of the company commander. Seeing that Cheng Niu was in good spirits while riding on the horse, the company commander simply sent him to guard the prisoners.

This time Liu Guoneng brought a total of 3000 to 1000 people to camp on the right wing of the Peasant Army, all young and strong men, and nearly half of them were his old battalion troops.But when the camp was robbed just now, more than 6000 people were killed all at once.Moreover, more than [-] people surrendered to the Runing Army.

After confiscating the weapons, the Runing Army drove the prisoners into the empty camp.Li Sanhe only asked soldiers from two companies to guard the prisoners to prevent them from rushing into Liu Guoneng's camp again.The Runing Army simply said that those prisoners could not run away, because they had to seize the time to recover their physical strength, prepare to withstand the counterattack of the peasant army after dawn, and also combined with Xue Yongli's main force to completely defeat the peasant army in the middle and left.

And Cheng Niu's character is that he is familiar with himself, so he chatted with the captive sitting on the ground.

"You are living a good life, but why did you rebel? But I can't blame you. When I was in Runing, the land was barren, and I couldn't borrow food from Mr. Liu's family. My family fled everywhere, looking for a place. part-time job."

Listening to Cheng Niu's memories, those captives who had the same experience gradually raised their heads and listened carefully to Cheng Niu's words.

"There is nowhere to go! Thinking of the county seat, the gate of the county seat is closed, and we are guarded like thieves. There is no way to catch up with the next county seat. Halfway there, my mother and two younger siblings starved to death. People are not as good as Dog! I can’t even find a mat. They can only be buried hastily. I didn’t want to get them out until I was paid as a soldier. But I can’t find them! Alas——!” [

"Then you are the only one left in the elder brother's family?" A peasant army prisoner who was only sixteen or seventeen seemed to have forgotten his fear, and asked Cheng Niu.

"There's a younger sister!" Cheng Niu smiled at the young prisoner.Said, "But at that time, she was skinny and she couldn't hold it anymore. Fortunately, when I met our adults, he kindly asked us to go to Zhuangzi together. The first meal in Zhuangzi was delicious! White flour Momo, so big!" Cheng Niu gestured towards the prisoners. "But the people in Zhuangzi wouldn't let me eat it, so they gave me gruel. I was in a hurry, so I went up and grabbed it."

"Did you get it?" the boy asked again, and the other prisoners also stared at Cheng Niu curiously.

"Nope!" Cheng Niu smiled sheepishly, "There were too many of them. Three or four of them pushed me to the ground. But it was for my own good that hungry people can't eat dry food.

"Brother! Why are you joining the army again?" the boy asked again.Seeing that Cheng Niu was very kind, the prisoners all raised their heads towards Cheng Niu.

"You really don't understand!" Cheng Niu was a little proud when he mentioned his experience as a soldier, "It's a good place for us to serve as a soldier in the Runing Army. Not to mention enough food and clothing, you can also have a wife and share land. That's it. A few people who didn’t give me dry food saw that I was quite strong, so they let me join the Zhuangzhuang Team. Later, I was recruited into the Runing Army.”

"Really? Can you still have a wife and a land?" A prisoner beside him couldn't help interjecting.

"Why lie to you?" Cheng Niu raised his eyebrows, "Anyway, you will come in later, and you will know when the time comes."

"We also have a chance?" The prisoner felt a little unbelievable.

"Of course!" Cheng Niu's expression was quite proud, "But only the good ones can get it if they join the army, and those who farm in the village or mine in the mine can only find their own wives. Much slower."

Cheng Niu's words immediately made the captives boil, and they asked all kinds of questions about the Runing Army, which made Cheng Niu overwhelmed.So Cheng Niu immediately waved: "Everyone be quiet, come one by one!" Then.Cheng Niu saw that the young captive seemed to have something to say, so he pointed at him and asked, "Little brother! Say it first!"

The young man hesitated for a while, and then choked out a sentence: "Brother! Are you in charge of food here? I'm a little hungry now." The young man's words immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Cheng Niu also kept laughing, and it took a while before Cheng Niu stopped laughing.Said to the young man: "Our Runing army has never been hungry. Wait a moment! The meal should be here soon, and you should have your share."

"Brother! Do you have food here so early?" asked another prisoner.At that time, poor families often ate two meals, usually breakfast and lunch together, so the prisoner asked such a question.

Cheng Niu nodded and replied: "We always eat three meals here. Breakfast will be served soon." [

As if to confirm Cheng Niu's statement, several soldiers of the Runing Army distributed the dry food placed on the cart to everyone, and also moved more than a dozen bags of food and threw it among the captives.

The food was not burned in Liu Guoneng's camp, and there was no time to cook, so the prisoners could only solve it by themselves.

Hearing the bright future in the Runing army, and having food to eat again, the prisoners were relieved, and some who wanted to find a chance to escape did not run away, and were busy making fires and cooking.

While waiting, the boy asked Cheng Niu again: "Brother, is it easy to join your army?"

Cheng Niu smiled and shook his head: "It's not easy! But if you can ride a horse and read, you can join right away."

"Brother! I can ride a horse! Quickly recruit me!" The boy immediately jumped up happily.

"Go, go!" Cheng Niu immediately drove the young man away, "You haven't even grown, let's talk about it in two years!"

"Brother! I'm just small, I'm eighteen!" The young man became anxious, "Brother, don't you believe me? Lend me your horse for a couple of rounds."

"It's even more nonsense! Can you borrow horses casually?" Cheng Niu immediately refused.

"Then... that big brother! Let me show you my strength. I will lift the stone over there." The boy was so anxious that tears rolled in his eyes.

"But it's useless for you to lift it up! I don't care about recruiting soldiers. After this battle is over, I'll go talk to the officer?" Cheng Niunai told the truth.

As soon as Cheng Niu agreed, the prisoners wanted to surround him.The soldiers of the Runing Army who were watching the excitement immediately put away their smiles and raised their weapons to prevent the prisoners from approaching.Cheng Niu also shouted anxiously: "My old cow keeps his word, but don't move around! Don't forget! You are all captives!"

After hearing this, the captives remembered their identities. (to be continued...)
