Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 78 The Baptism of the Soul

On the way back to Yingshan, Qiu Tianxing and two members of the information department sneaked together.It was summer, and the weather was sultry and mosquitoes were infested.After just staying overnight, Qiu Tianxing's body was covered with bumps, and his face was red and swollen.Of course, this is summer, and the day can be used as a quilt and a bed.If it is winter, I am afraid there is a danger of freezing to death.It is not easy to go out, let alone this time of fleeing for one's life?

However, these were all physical injuries to Qiu Tianxing, and what made him feel extremely uncomfortable was that he saw many villages deserted along the way.Broken walls and ruins, wild grass overgrown, wild wind blowing, bones exposed.

Is this still the territory of the security group?Is this still the anti-Tartar base?
It turned out to be so bleak!

In fact, Qiu Tianxing already knew in his heart that the headquarters had left Yingshan for more than half a year.Even if the remnant comrades of the security regiment scattered around fight the Tartars to the death, it may only be a stalemate.People in the war years are not afraid of big victory or big defeat, but they are afraid of protractedness.The longer the war went on, the more they suffered.They have to pay for money, food, weapons, and even life.War is a tool for rulers to fight for power and profit. The fruits are tasted by the victors, but the casualties are borne by the people.

Looking at the empty village, Qiu Tianxing couldn't bear it.He is not a cruel person, but he has done cruel things.Because of the security team, all the people in this village died.It is conceivable that there are many villages like this in Yingshan.It's just that in this era, there are some things that you can't do whatever you want, but you don't have a choice.Surrender, not only can't be a human being, sometimes I'm afraid even a slave can't be done.

Qiu Tianxing told himself that this war is not a conflict within a nation, but a confrontation between two nations, a duel for the right to survive.The winner takes over the world and is supported by thousands of losers, and the loser can only donate his flesh and blood unwillingly, being beaten to the bone and sucked marrow from generation to generation.Under such exploitation and oppression, even if he did not stand up and lead the security team to fight against the Tartars, thousands of unyielding people would stand up in the next few hundred years.That war will last for hundreds of years, destroying the peaceful life of more than a dozen generations.That being the case, why not let your own generation bear it alone!
Thinking of this, Qiu Tianxing felt better. He felt that he was the just side fighting back against the invaders, and everything he did was just.

For a moment, Qiu Tianxing stood outside the village and froze.The two information department staff behind him also stood here with Qiu Tianxing.One of the two was carrying dry food and the other was carrying a water hyacinth. Both of them held weapons in their hands and looked around vigilantly, guarding against accidents.One of these two people is named Lu Ke, and the other is named Wu Gen. Both have been educated, can read Chinese characters, and have a deep blood feud with the Tartars, and they will not rebel even if they die.It is passable in the anti-Tartar spirit, so the information department sent to escort Qiu Tianxing to respond to the mountain.If the anti-Tartar spirit is weak and there is no blood feud with the Tartars, I am afraid that even Qiu Tianxing himself would not dare to trust them and dare to respond to the mountain with them alone.

Both have words.But Qiu Tianxing's memory is not very good, it would be good to remember the positions and names of some people, and if necessary, he should also remember the past experiences of his subordinates and the resumes in the security regiment.This was extremely difficult for Qiu Tianxing, who had repeatedly failed the fourth-level exam in his previous life.Therefore, Qiu Tianxing only memorizes the name and does not remember the characters, and calls others only the first name, surname and position, and the characters are not used, let alone the number.Therefore, led by Qiu Tianxing, although the soldiers under his command entered night schools, most of them didn't need to write.

Memory is one of Qiu Tianxing's major weaknesses. If he had a good memory, he could have looked good even as a translator in his previous life. How could he still be penniless and alone after graduating for several years?Most smart people have a good memory. Even if their comprehension ability is poor, they can score much higher than others in the exam by relying on rote memorization alone.

Although the current Qiu Tianxing has a small foundation, he is also deeply affected by poor memory.

The commander of a team has to remember too many things.The number of soldiers, the number of equipment, whether there are many wounded and sick, whether there is enough food, the intelligence of the enemy in front, and the information of friendly troops in the rear.There is also who is good at attacking, who is good at defense, who is one-hearted with himself, and who is the monitor placed by the above.It is also necessary to know whether the marching road is clear and where there may be ambushes. If there is more rain, you must guard against water attacks, and if there is little rain, you must defend against fire attacks.During the battle, the characteristics of the opponent's commander, the characteristics of the opponent's troops, the quantity and quality of its personnel and weapons, etc., as well as which team is dispatched, which team is on standby, which team is entangled with the enemy, which team confronts the enemy, etc. Remember them all.In addition to marching and fighting, you have to have more contact with your subordinates on weekdays, understand their thoughts, solve their difficulties, know their resumes, and understand their abilities. This requires a strong memory.There are even people who can recognize all the subordinates and call out their lives one by one, even if the opponent is just a soldier.Of course, this might just be for show.This kind of ability will be placed in later generations, not to mention the fourth and sixth levels, and the eighth level is also trivial.

When there was no staff system in ancient times, it was not enough to rely on a military adviser and a few counselors to help.More depends on the generals' own ability, strong overall planning ability, strong memory, strong personality charm, strong training and command ability, etc., so there is a saying that it is easy to get a thousand troops and hard to find a general.

Qiu Tianxing was too weak in this aspect, so he had the most contact with only a limited number of high-level security regiments, and had too little contact with middle-level generals.The consequence of this is that it is easily emptied.

And it was precisely because he knew his own weakness in this aspect that Qiu Tianxing believed that he was not a material to manage every day, and delegating power was the only way out.Enfeoffing subordinates not only separated the rights in their own hands, but also lightened the burden on themselves.

Standing in front of the deserted village, Qiu Tianxing's thoughts were complicated.At first I couldn't bear it, but later I was persuaded by myself that even if I didn't resist the Tartars, these people might not be able to survive, and even if they survived by luck, future generations would suffer from the disaster of swords and weapons for generations.

In the end, Qiu Tianxing strengthened his belief with one sentence.

Since the gods let me come to this era, it is to let me change this era, and I have a destiny.Even if I am a mortal with various shortcomings, such as soft personality, indecision, poor memory, lack of ability, etc., the only thing I can do is my firm belief in anti-Tartarism!

To mourn in silence for this deserted village is also a baptism for one's own soul.Half an hour later, Qiu Tianxing took Lu Ke and Wu Gen away from this small village at the border of the two provinces.

The closer to Yingshan, the more villages there are.Although many villages have traces of swords and soldiers, some villages were even rebuilt on the site of the ruins after the fire.But at least, it has gained popularity.

People have the mentality of flocking together, even if they are in great danger, they will still gather after the danger passes.In the hearts of these villagers, Yingshan is their center.

Qiu Tianxing passed by these villages and did not go in, but went directly to the mountains.

Although he didn't enter the village, Qiu Tianxing clearly felt many differences.There are no slogans on the wall, and there is no scene of the Youth League and Children's League holding guns at the entrance of the village.It seems that the traces of the security team have faded a lot.

After walking for another two hours, finally Yingshan was in sight.

Looking at the scene where the walls were damaged and the city gate collapsed, Qiu Tianxing felt very sad.I used to review the soldiers who entered the city on the city wall, I used to fight to the death on the city wall, I used to accept the cheers of my comrades on the city wall.These are yesterday's flowers, the powerful headquarters has disappeared, and all that is left is the remnant soldiers everywhere.

In less than a year, after fleeing to Xinyang in a hurry at night, he quietly fled back to Yingshan.It seems to be a reincarnation, when you leave, you will be defeated, and when you come back, you will be alone, and what you will bring back is only the anti-Tartar spirit.

However, as long as you still have faith and fighting spirit, you can set up a regiment headquarters again!

I used to have nothing and set up a security team from scratch.Today, if I return to Yingshan alone, I can still continue to be brilliant.

Stepping into Yingshan City, Qiu Tianxing seemed to feel that he had overlapped with himself a year ago.The difference is that after the failure, I became more mature.The little things in the past half a year have changed Qiu Tianxing a lot. He doesn't want to fight and win repeatedly, but to fight and defeat repeatedly!The life is endless, and the resistance to the Tartars is endless.Even if the road ahead is dead, I will not surrender!
Stepping into Yingshan today is like the nirvana of the phoenix, and the general group will be established in the future!
