Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 179 Going North (Part [-])

When the first battalion was separated, Chen Chen brought out five thousand regiments.Now the 1000 regiments have only grown to [-] teams, and more than [-] of the nearly [-] troops are from various agricultural guards and youth regiments.

The reason why the 5000 people were not expanded several times was because the territory controlled by the first battalion was too small to support so many people.And at the beginning, Chen Chen didn't want to attack the city, but only wanted to develop quietly for a while.So now the proportion of old men in the first battalion is as high as [-]%. Except for the officers who are all old men, the regiment men can bring old men and new men.This is very beneficial. Under the leadership of a sufficient number of old Ding, the new Ding grows very quickly.

After all the teams were assembled, Chen Chen walked to the high platform and started mobilizing for the oath.

Standing on the high platform, Chen Chen shouted loudly with a loudspeaker made of iron sheet in his hand.

"Comrades!"

Although Chen Chen yelled angrily, as the distance grew, the group members standing behind could only vaguely hear it, and even the last row couldn't hear it at all.

But this is a swearing-in meeting, so listen to it even if you can't hear it.The purpose of the swearing-in meeting is not to attend the meeting, but to brew the goal of morale unity.Even if you can't hear it, but in such an occasion, surrounded by dense comrades, everyone will feel a sense of security and a sense of strength from the bottom of their hearts.In this way, the original purpose is achieved.

So, Chen Chen continued to shout.

"There are wars in the north. The second battalion of our security regiment is in Shandong, and the fourth battalion of our security regiment is roaring in Shaanxi and Shanxi! Under the offensive of our security regiment, the Tartars have been defeated one after another!"

The members of the regiment who heard Chen Chen's words in the front row became excited. It turned out that the second battalion and the fourth battalion had created a lot of momentum in the north!Although the security regiment was almost wiped out last year, all major bases were lost, and even the regiment headquarters were beaten into the mountains.But I didn't expect the security team to grow up so quickly.Every team member who heard Chen Chen's words was so excited that they couldn't control themselves. If it wasn't for the mobilization meeting, the preachers at all levels would have told them to pay attention to discipline and not to whisper, otherwise they would all cheer.

Fortunately, these enthusiastic soldiers were not disappointed, and some preachers shouted at this moment.

"Long live! Long live the security team!"

Seeing that the preachers have spoken, the regiment members also responded one after another.

"Hooray! Hooray!"

"Hooray! Hooray!"

"Hooray! Hooray!"

Seeing the one in front doing this, the group members at the back also shouted.Although he didn't hear what Chen Chen said, his heart was surging.They are not in a hurry to hear anything, because after the meeting, there will definitely be a speaker to inform them of the content of the meeting.

It was only after seeing everyone that they began to cooperate, and Chen Chen's originally frowning brows eased.And those preachers who could clearly see Chen Chen's facial expressions also breathed a sigh of relief, secretly sighing that it was good that the atmosphere of the venue was not delayed.

After the voice gradually died down, Chen Chen continued to shout.

"Now the second battalion and the fourth battalion are criss-crossing the north, and my first battalion has to support the friendly army! All the way north, join the second battalion!"

At this moment, the first few rows of preachers who had experience also shouted.

"All the way to the north, join forces with the Second Battalion!"

"All the way to the north, join forces with the Second Battalion!"

"All the way to the north, join forces with the Second Battalion!"

The slogan was shouted hoarsely, as if to lose breath.At the moment, the preachers are very much like To.

However, with their leadership, the morale of the troupe members in the venue went in the right direction.From the front row to the back row, all the members of the regiment and the members of the youth regiment of the Agricultural Guard also shouted.

"All the way to the north, join forces with the Second Battalion!"

"All the way to the north, join forces with the Second Battalion!"

"All the way to the north, join forces with the Second Battalion!"

For the members of these youth groups, this kind of meeting of ten thousand people is really a rare event, it is very interesting and fun.

After the mobilization meeting was over, Chen Chen immediately ordered the troops to head north, and the first battle would be Huoqiu County.

When Chen Chen's [-] troops approached Huoqiu County with ten miles away, the magistrate of Huoqiu learned the news.

At this moment, he had two thoughts in his mind. One was to lead the people to stick to the county seat and serve the imperial court when the city was broken; the other was to abandon his official position and flee to save his own life.

This kind of entanglement made Zhixian very troubled, and then he thought of the stalemate in the northern war situation. At this moment, a thought suddenly came to his mind, maybe this court will not come to the end!In that way, I will not be able to be a loyal minister praised by history books, and my relatives in future generations will not be able to get grace.It's not worth it, it's not worth it to die in the city.So, before Chen Chen's army approached, the county magistrate fled the city with his family, crossed the east lake of the city and headed all the way to Fengyang Mansion.

This is the shortcoming of the emerging dynasty. No matter how weak the last dynasty is, there are still a group of people who are willing to die for it.It doesn't mean that they are all loyal ministers, but that some of them are willing to use the name of dying to be a posthumous person, so that their name will last forever and become a perfect person.However, the emerging dynasty may prosper and die suddenly. When it is strong, there are countless defectors, and when it is weak, many people will betray their relatives.

The magistrate fled, and the county magistrate who organized the city defense also fled.Then those city defense troops organized by the powerful in the city collapsed without a fight, and fled back to their respective main houses one after another, Huoqiu County was in chaos.Some rout soldiers and ruffians took the opportunity to rob and harass the neighbors.

Just as the city was crying and even igniting flames, the first battalion entered Huoqiu City.As soon as he entered the city, Chen Chen ordered the troops to maintain law and order and attack those criminals who took advantage of the situation to make trouble.Then, under the leadership of the people from Huoqiu County in the team, dozens of teams were separated to take over various important places in the county and surround the homes of those big families.

The behavior of the first battalion to maintain law and order after entering the city made the people in the city very happy. They forgot that it was the attack of the first battalion that caused the chaos in the city. They only remembered that the first battalion rescued themselves from the chaos in the city.Invisibly, the prestige of the First Battalion among the people in Huoqiu County increased greatly.

After taking Huoqiu County, Chen Chen stayed for three days.Because of the incident with the Bai faction, Chen Chen was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of well ropes.Even though there were several big families in the city who wanted to cooperate with Chen Chen, they were all rejected by Chen Chen, and then they ransacked their homes and exterminated their clans.After entering the city this time, Chen Chen reaped a lot. Three points were shared by the regiment members. Of the remaining seven points, Chen Chen chose to distribute another three points to the people in the city. This immediately won the support of the people.The original goodwill was replaced by hard-core support, and the recruiting team was like a long dragon for a while.

On the fourth day of entering the city, Chen Chen left a dissatisfied brigade stationed at Huoqiu, responsible for continuing the recruitment and training.Then Chen Chen personally led more than ten thousand regiments to continue towards the north.

His next target is Yingshang County.
