The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

On the open field, by a shallow stream, a small village of about 30 or 40 households is no longer what it looks like.

The original thatch, brick and tile roof, at this time has been turned into a piece of ash, only a black rammed earth system of debris, in the early summer still some cool night wind, stand alone.

At the foot of the land, you can also see clearly, not long ago when the rain left a lot of mixed staggered horseshoe prints.

They came from the southeast and then all the way to the northwest.

Obviously, this is the masterpiece of Daishan, manggutai and azig!

"These dog Tartars! They robbed and killed, why ~, why did they put on a fire at last? Sooner or later, I will make sure that the old village in dog day will be burned to a clean fire

Chen Zhong roared like a lion.

Since we came out of the old woods in the mountains to the north, we have met at least a dozen of such villages along the way.

This is still good. There are several villages that are almost burned to the ground because their houses are not so strong.

At this time, most of the plain areas in China, almost all the houses of the people were rammed earth.

Because in the plain, stone is also very precious materials, brick and tile people do not have the financial resources, can only choose the most affordable, also the cheapest rammed earth.

Li Yuanqing quietly looked at the remains of the small village, and his eyes were a little confused.

When people in mountainous areas encounter this kind of crisis, at least, they still have a space to escape and escape. On this plain, once they are watched by Tartar's irons, they It can only be a group of helpless lambs with no resistance.

It's no wonder that the sages said: "prosperity, the common people suffer. People suffer when they die. "

For example, in this kind of plain, in addition to the benefit of city defense, like this kind of village, it is equivalent to no fortification.

Why did Zhu Di, the founder of Chengzu, smash pots and sell iron, and also vigorously repair the Great Wall in order to resist the enemy and outside the country?

But I never thought about it. Now

Of course, the reasons for the Tartars' entry into the GATT are extremely complicated, including Li Yuanqing, who also bears a large part of the unshirkable responsibility

Chen Zhong had calmed down a lot and said to Li Yuanqing in a low voice: "Yuanqing, the more you look at this son of a bitch, the more I look at it, my brother is really hard to calm down! What are all these dog scum of the imperial court for? "

Li Yuanqing handed Chen Zhong a cigar and took a long breath out of it. "Elder brother, it's so-called to do everything and listen to the destiny. We can't change this matter. We can only make up for it as much as possible. "

Chen Zhong nodded heavily, "Yuanqing, have a drink in the evening."

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "it's OK. In five more days, we will be able to get to Qian'an. Let's wait a little bit for the mules. We can send some horses over there

Chen Zhong nodded, but suddenly thought of it. He said in a low voice: "Yuanqing, by the way, Zhu Guoyan, how come he hasn't moved yet? You want to eat for nothing

Li Yuanqing took a deep breath of his cigar and said with a smile, "brother, it's not urgent. Fifty thousand taels of silver. Even if we don't do anything, the silver will burn his hands

…………

A team of 100000 people, stacked in layers, can stretch for dozens of miles.

It takes at least half a day to eat, drink, Lazar and camp every day.

Fortunately, after these days of acclimatization, the team finally found some rhythm. Although it can't go up to 20 Li a day, there is no big problem in ~, 15.6 Li and 17.8 Li.

According to this rhythm, it will take at least a month for the team to reach the seaside fleet stronghold.

However, at this time, Huang Taiji and the main force of the later Jin Dynasty had already left the pass. In the whole area, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong were the most powerful forces.

Both Zhu Guoyan and Liu xingzuo have more or less contact with Li Yuanqing. In this area, in addition to epidemic diseases, the team has no natural enemies.

Chen Zhong was not in a good mood tonight. After drinking more than ten drinks, he was already drunk and fell asleep.

Li Yuanqing is also a bit stuffy, but still adjusted his mood in time.

After his family and soldiers settled Chen Zhong to a good rest, Li Yuanqing lit a cigar and went outside the tent to breathe.

These days, although there are 50000 female dependents around, some of them are outstanding, but neither Li Yuanqing nor Chen Zhong has been close to women.

The two commanders are like this, so naturally the children dare not mess around.

At this time, the female guards in the camp had rich experience in dealing with these female dependents.

After several improvements by Meng Qingzhu and the military doctors, Changsheng camp has developed a very mature prescription, which can basically safely solve the problems of these women's dependents, and will not let them leave behind the Tartar's evil seed, thus leaving a disaster.However, because Li Yuanqing was a high-intensity rush army, han'erzhuang, the main force of female guards, including Li Yuanqing's beloved concubine Wang Wei, did not accompany him, but stayed in Yongping.

The military medical work mainly relies on male military doctors.

Fortunately, the entry time of Tartars is not long, and it is less than two months by this time. The victims of Tartars' injuries among these female dependents will not have any problems for the time being.

In addition, it is not appropriate to drink medicine at this time. When the team arrives at the seaside camp, the time is almost right.

At this time, the main female guards left in Yongping, including Wang Wei, had received news and were rushing to meet Li Yuanqing's main force.

According to their schedule, that is, within three or five days.

At that time, more than 50000 women's dependents will be examined carefully.

Liu xingzuo's side of the problem is not big.

After receiving Li Yuanqing's request for support from mules and horses, he quickly responded, saying that he would do his best to help Li Yuanqing.

However, Zhu Guoyan, at this time of the year, has chosen to be a shrinking turtle

For a moment, Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, "Zhu Guoyan, this guy..."

It's no wonder that in the decades after the late Ming Dynasty, except for the officers of the Liao group, they were in the world of Chuanying and Xiying.

Zhu guoniang has never been tortured by other officers in the war The mud can't hold up the wall.

Li Yuanqing certainly understood Zhu Guoyan's careful thinking at this time.

It's no wonder that he didn't do anything because he accepted Li Yuanqing's money. He was worried that he would be held responsible by the court if he was involved with Li Yuanqing.

At the beginning, Li Yuanqing did have some confidence in Zhu Guoyan.

Although this guy is a mediocre mediocre, but at least, in history, his death is still glorious.

Li Yuanqing wanted to help him.

Unfortunately, it has been proved that Li Yuanqing still has some wishful thinking

It's going to rain. My mother wants to get married.

Good advice can hardly persuade the damned ghost!

When it's time to make a choice, he doesn't do it. Don't think about the rain dew jun'en after Li Yuanqing.

At this time, for Li Yuanqing, Zhu Guoyan was just a small role. Before han'erzhuang, he still had some sense of existence, but at this time, after passing through han'erzhuang, he became a transparent man directly.

What Li Yuanqing was really concerned about at this time was the trend of the capital.

This wind should have been passed to the capital. I don't know how emperor Chongzhen and governor yuan would react when they learned the truth?

…………

Four days later, on May 17, Li Yuanqing and the main force of the brigade arrived in a small village 20 miles southeast of Qian'an. They successfully met with the 5000 troops left in Yongping and the main female escort, Wang Wei, Li Yuanqing's favorite concubine, including Liu xingzuo, who personally escorted more than 1000 mules and horses.

The main reason is that the weather is excellent these days, and the journey of the team is very smooth, which is more than one day faster than expected.

Qian'an county has long been out of shape.

In fact, in addition to the remote counties and the bluffing fortress of Santun camp, as well as the Yongping City guarded by Li Yuanqing himself, the rest of the cities were basically swept away by Tartars.

The so-called "clear eye" means "not seeing".

In recent days, Chen Zhong simply does not go to see these "relics", and his mood has recovered a lot.

After Chen Zhong was drunk that day, Li Yuanqing also chose two excellent water girls from these women's wives and gave them to Chen Zhong, so that he could have a good fortune and go to get angry by the way.

Obviously, it works well.

In the evening, Li Yuanqing set up a feast for Liu xingzuo and his party.

However, under such conditions, it is impossible to eat too much. The key is the friendship.

Liu xingzuo is the best one in the big wind and waves. Although he is sometimes swaying, he is still relatively reliable in this key choice.

Chen Zhongyuan didn't feel good about Liu xingzuo at first. However, the so-called "sending goose feathers from thousands of miles" is light and affectionate.

Liu xingzuo was so resolute at this time that he rushed over and brought the most needed mules, horses and carts to the brigade. Not to mention anything else, with this friendship, he Chen Zhong had to give Liu xingzuo face.

Not to mention, there was the Jinzhou incident.

Even on the basis of the events in Jinzhou, Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong, including Mao Wenlong and all the officers of the Dongjiang department, owed him a favor to Liu xingzuo.

At this time, after a short exchange of greetings, with the formal opening of the drink, three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, the atmosphere of the whole tent is also warm.

Chen Zhong said with a smile, "Lao Liu. What's the old saying? The grace of dripping water should be reported by the spring! In the past, I don't have much contact with you. If there is any misunderstanding, you should be more tolerant. Come on, I'll give you a toastLiu xingzuo also felt some Chen Zhong's temper at this time, and said with a quick smile: "Chen Shuai, you have broken my old Liu. What's the old saying? No fight, no acquaintance! Chen Shuai, we haven't been to war. But Li Shuai is here! Chen Shuai is Li Shuai's brother, that is my brother Liu xingzuo! Come on, Chen Shuai, you use this bowl, and my old Liu uses the jar! Today, our brother, we must not be drunk and return! "

With that, Liu xingzuo hugged Chen Zhong with a smile, lifted the wine jar beside him, and held it in the air directly and began to pour it into his mouth.

Chen Zhong couldn't help laughing: "Lao Liu, have a good time! Happy! You old Liu is so, how can I not give you face? Somebody, open another jar of wine

"Yes

A moment later, a soldier brought a jar of wine.

Like Liu xingzuo, Chen Zhong grabs the wine jar and drinks boldly.

On the other side, Liu Xingzhi, the fifth of the seven brothers of the Liu family, who followed Liu xingzuo, looked a little silly

I've seen bold and unconstrained people, but I've never seen such a bold and unrestrained person.

Especially When will he, the second brother who has always been cautious So bold

Liu Xingzhi, the fifth, is just a general.

In general, he is not qualified to be on the table.

But after all, there is Liu xingzuo's face, he is barely the main accompany at this time.

Of course, he is not qualified to serve tea and wine, to order food safely, and to speak up.

Of course, Liu Xingzhi is also aware of this.

However, the scene at this time is really shocking

Feelings ~, if not stop, his second brother is afraid to be as vigorous as Chen Zhong.

This jar of wine, at least ten jin, I'm afraid it's too much for iron man He looked at Li Yuanqing like a cry for help.

Li Yuanqing at this time has been hanging a faint smile.

He saw Liu Xingzhi's eye for help, but he didn't stop him.

The main reason is that the wine was seized by the later Jin Dynasty and plundered by the Ming Dynasty. It was only a low-grade ordinary rice wine, which was about ten degrees, similar to the beer of later generations.

In a way Li Yuanqing also wants to see Liu xingzuo's sincerity!
