The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

At this time, in Kuandian laolinzi northeast of a deep mountain trail.

Tens of thousands of soldiers of Dongjiang army, standing in a long red dragon, are slowly retreating toward the South against the scorching autumn afternoon sun.

On the east side of the hillside, under the shade of an old ginkgo tree, Mao Wenlong, dressed in military uniform and wearing a Shang Fang sword, sat on a weathered smooth rock with a large leaf in his hand, slowly fanning the wind to relieve the hot and dry afternoon.

Around him, dozens of Mao Wenlong have changed their surnames to "Mao" family members, and they will serve with them.

Unfortunately, even they did not have the look of the past, one by one hot sweat, spit out the tongue, like the sun withered leaves.

Looking at the children who were listless and struggling to march in the scorching sun, Mao Wenlong didn't know what it was like for a moment.

Mao Wenlong really can't understand.

I really don't understand.

In the past few years, Liaodong and Liaonan fought for their lives. The brothers pinned their heads on their waistbands to get back to the hard won smooth situation. However, the imperial court and governor yuan But at this time, he threw out such a big "single moth"

The military action of Dongjiang headquarters is to run for the old village.

It is also a "killer mace" that Mao Wenlong has accumulated in recent years to achieve a fatal blow to the old village.

As early as mid July, Mao Wenlong led the children of the Dongjiang army, who had secretly left PiDao and marched only at night, and had been hiding in the mountains and forests of Kuandian for nearly two months.

Even ~ ~ ~, Mao Wenlong deliberately cut off the contact with the supplies from the rear. He was just eating, sleeping and drinking. He was just trying to take advantage of the Tartars around the old stronghold without any precaution to take advantage of it!

However, when Mao Wenlong arrived at the front line of sanzhai and was ready to fight Tartars, he was hiding in the inner line of sanzhai, but he told Mao Wenlong the news of the imperial court and governor yuan.

When Mao Wenlong heard the news, he didn't believe it at all. He almost wanted to take the first level flag of these internal lines.

Because in Mao Wenlong's mind, it's just incredible.

How could the imperial court break up its hands and feet at this time and completely squander and waste the good situation at this time?

However, several insiders tried their best to confirm the accuracy of the news to Mao Wenlong and begged him to verify it to the rear as soon as possible.

Mao Wenlong felt that something was wrong and immediately sent someone to contact the rear

And then

Sure enough.

These insiders didn't lie. The imperial court actually made this kind of This kind of self destruction of the Great Wall.

Fortunately, Mao Wenlong didn't rush to attack sanzhai. If, in case

Mao Wenlong couldn't imagine the consequences.

He had no choice but to lead the elite sons of the Dongjiang army to retreat quickly.

According to Mao Wenlong's understanding of Huang Taiji, if this fat man can't grasp this opportunity, it will be a ghost.

However, in the general situation, although Mao Wenlong made the right decision, who can know what kind of suffering he endured in his heart?

"Looking for a marquis three thousand miles away!"

Originally, all this was in front of me, and I was about to take it down and eat it in my mouth. However, how could I have thought that such a sudden change would happen

Rao is such a powerful heart as Mao Wenlong, at this time, some just can not live.

What's worse, because of the extremely hot and dry weather at this time, a gurgling brook at the foot of this hillside actually dried up.

This means that if children can't walk through the old forest quickly today, they will have to bear the pain of no water in such hot and dry weather today, even the day after tomorrow.

At this time, a private soldier in front of him quickly whispered, "commander in chief, Deputy General Chen is back."

Mao Wenlong was busy looking in the direction of the soldier's fingers. Chen Jisheng was holding a kettle in his hand and rushed towards this side.

"Marshal, the sky never stops us! A clear spring was found under a stone seam two miles away. It's enough for kids to drink. "

Said, Chen Jisheng busy hands of the kettle, handed to Mao Wenlong hand, "marshal, this is just taken by subordinates, you drink some first."

Mao Wenlong was already thirsty and did not refuse. He took the kettle and drank it for a long time. Then he handed it to his relatives and soldiers: "everyone of you should drink some. Mao Youlu, take someone to get some water now. Take more people and more water, and put them at the foot of the mountain to quench their thirst. "

"Yes."

Mao Youlu is one of the "you" generation soldiers under Mao Wenlong's command. At this time, he is already in the garrison rank. After the battle is over, how can he become a guerrilla? However, he never thought that the battle could not be fought.However, Mao Youlu was a very calm and capable man, and he was deeply trusted by Mao Wenlong. When he heard Mao Wenlong's order, he did not dare to express his feelings. He hurried to the foot of the mountain to call for people to fetch water.

Mao Youlu and Chen Jisheng sat beside Mao Wenlong and sighed slowly: "commander in chief, look at this. We have to get to the river. I'm afraid it will take at least seven or eight days. The key is that Yuanqing is not here yet This is really... "

After drinking some water, Mao Wenlong's spirit has slowed down a lot, and his mind has returned to calm. He said slowly, "Jisheng, what do you think of this matter? Don't worry. "

Chen Jisheng couldn't help but smile: "marshal, this matter, really, really is not easy to say By this time, our best opportunity has been wasted. This loss can't be recovered. "

Mao Wenlong shook his head and said, "opportunities, we can create again. We have so many good guys. We will still have a chance in the future. "

Chen Jisheng also understood the deep meaning of Mao's words and looked around him.

The relatives and soldiers around also knew that Mao Wenlong and Chen Jisheng had important things to talk about. In addition, they all drank some water just now, and their spirits recovered. They all retreated to the distance to guard Mao Wenlong's safety.

Seeing his relatives and soldiers leaving, Chen Jisheng said with a bitter smile: "commander in chief, the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. In recent years, the popularity of Yuanqing is really too much. At that time, with the protection of Duke Wei, and the benevolence of the former Emperor, everything could still be maintained. But at this time, the new emperor ascended the throne. This matter It's not easy to say... "

Mao Wenlong nodded, looked at Chen Jisheng, picked off a Dogtail grass beside him, put the rhizome in his mouth, and continued to wait for Chen Jisheng's following.

Chen Jisheng hesitated for a moment, swallowed his saliva, or summoned up the courage, said his real idea.

"Commander in chief, this is the end of the matter. According to my subordinates' opinion, the emperor, the court and the trusted governor yuan are all here. It's the drunkard's intention, not wine! I'm afraid Yuanqing is just a precedent in front of him! Once transferred from Yuanqing, my subordinates estimate that it will be our turn... "

Mao Wenlong vomited out a long breath of turbid air, and his eyes were a little confused for a moment, "the emperor, I have seen him before. Judging from his appearance, he should be a man who knows right and wrong and knows great justice. I can't think of why he would make such a choice in such a critical time. Does he really want to force yuan Qing against him? "

Chen Jisheng said: "marshal, Yuanqing will not fight back. I know Yuanqing very well. If Yuanqing wants to go against it, I'm afraid it won't wait for this time. Even more will not in this section bone eye son, deviates from the Liao land, goes to that everywhere wind frost north land. Yuan Qing has already made such a concession, but still... "

At this time, Mao Chenglu of the Chinese army also rushed over, "commander in chief, old Chen, I heard, found water?"

Chen Jisheng also had a small kettle on his waist and handed it to Mao Chenglu, "first drink some to quench your thirst. You Lu, they have gone to get water, and they should be back soon. "

The arrival of Mao Chenglu interrupted the rhythm of Chen Jisheng and Mao Wenlong, and both of them stopped talking.

"Ah. Happy

Mao Chenglu drank a lot of water, and the heat and dryness on his face dissipated a lot.

Mao Chenglu seems a bit reckless on the surface, but in fact, he is very smart. Otherwise, Mao Wenlong would not send him to deal with the grain and rate officials in Denglai and give him such an important position.

After Zhang pan left, Mao Chenglu is now the "chief manager" of the whole Dongjiang army.

At this time, he found that the situation of Chen Shuai was delicate. This matter is really worrying! I don't know whether Yuanqing knew the decision made by the imperial court. If the imperial court really wants to start first and send someone to Changsheng Island first, then it's afraid that something will happen. "

Mao Chenglu is Mao Wenlong's nephew, and also the core officer of Dongjiang army at this time. In the Dongjiang army at this time, his discourse power is still very important.

At this time, Chen Jisheng had already understood that Mao Wenlong had tacitly allowed Mao Chenglu to join the rhythm of the conversation. For a moment, he said, "Chenglu, the commander-in-chief and I are also worried about this. If yuan Manzi really wants a knife first, then ~ ~, even if yuan Qing doesn't want to fight back, I'm afraid there's no room to turn back! "

"Shit!"

I don't know. What do the emperor and the court think! Good situation, let them spoil like this

Chen Jisheng also deeply sighed, "now things have happened, even if we hate and fear, there is no way. The key is that we are not here now, and we can't grasp the pulse of the imperial court. "

Mao Wenlong said: "the mountain rain is coming, and the wind is all over the building. Yuan Manzi is really a bit sharp. If he is there, how can we live? "

Mao Chenglu spat fiercely: "commander in chief, if not, let's fight with Yuanqing together! Such a bird day is driving people crazy! If we can't get 50% of our food and salary, we can't help but stab us in the back! How could such a thing happen in the world? How can we fight this battle? ""Presumptuous!"

Mao Wenlong couldn't help but stare at Mao Chenglu.

Mao Chenglu was to test Mao Wenlong's mind. He quickly closed his mouth and kept silent.

Chen Jisheng said, "Chenglu, this kind of nonsense can't be nonsense. We are officials of the imperial court. How can we say such treacherous nonsense

Mao Chenglu carefully observed Mao Wenlong's face. Seeing that Mao Wenlong was calm, he said, "Lao Chen, I'm talking nonsense. But, marshal, Lao Chen, you know that. Yuanqing has a high reputation in our Dongjiang army. The brothers at the bottom have a lot of complaints about this... "

Mao Chenglu said and continued to carefully observe Mao Wenlong's face.

Mao Wenlong did not speak, but Chen Jisheng and Mao Wenlong had a tacit understanding for many years. He asked quickly, "Chenglu, what complaints do the brothers have?"

Mao Chenglu had already made up his mind at this time and said: "marshal, Lao Chen, you are not unaware that most of our brothers and brothers have members in the southern Liaoning commercial bank in Yuanqing. If the court moved Yuanqing, it would also affect the root of our Dongjiang River! "
