Anti Qing

Chapter 44
After Li Zijing returned to the front battalion, he was not in a hurry to call all the old soldiers to give lectures.

One is that now news has to be passed on from person to person, and news involving a main camp will take at least a day to spread.

Unlike later generations, everyone knows everything by sending each other a wechat message. It will take a while for the news of Li Zijing's appointment as the former battalion general to spread like waves.

Another thing is that Li Zijing has no experience in managing operations at all.

This time it was completely different from digging a tunnel with a small team. There were more than a thousand veterans in the front battalion, and an unknown number of ordinary soldiers, at least a few thousand people living together.

The daily life, daily training and many other business affairs of these people are now all under the control of Li Zijing.

A few days later, the army withdrew south and returned to Xi'an, and Li Zijing was required to lead an army to follow the main force of the Dashun army. What should we do then?

For these things, Li Zijing was completely blindsided.

The whole day after returning to the front camp, Li Zijing locked himself in the black tent in the middle, trying to catch up on the knowledge of camping and marching at this time.

The night fell from the eaves of the moon, floating in the camp like a streamer.

The soldiers in the front battalion, as usual, returned to the camp after a whole day of training, busy with their own affairs.

In the night, the weapon racks placed in the camp were as quiet as stones, reflecting a frightening cold light from time to time.

Li Zijing walked out of the big tent, his eyes were tired but energetic, and a stern look swept across the camp.

Suddenly, he stopped in front of a tall mountain-like figure.

"Hao Yaoqi?"

Li Zijing's eyes were a little surprised, and then he laughed.

"You are not staying in the Chinese army, why are you acting as a guard for me?"

"If General Quan finds out, why don't you say that I, Li Zijing, took away one of his subordinates without authorization!"

Li Zijing's joking words did not make Hao Yaoqi's iron-like serious face glow with a little kindness.

"Humble post Hao Yaoqi, see the general!"

Only then did Li Zijing realize that Hao Yaoqi was wearing a black arrow suit today, so he quickly helped him up and asked with concern.

"Brother Waving the Flag, what happened?"

Hao Yaoqi was tall, a head taller than most soldiers of the Shun Army, with a broad face and a pair of small but powerful eyes.

Hao Yaoqi's eyes were rather gloomy, and he said embarrassingly.

"Big general. This is the first time I've heard someone call me that."

Li Zijing's eyes changed slightly, and his relaxed expression gradually dissipated.

"What happened?"

Hao Yaoqi dodged his eyes, pondered for a long time, and finally gave a wry smile.

"It's nothing, why should the general care about this, anyway, I'm no longer a member of the Chinese army."

Li Zijing stared at Hao Yaoqi carefully, seeing the embarrassment in the strong man's eyes, so he no longer wanted to ask.

Li Zijing knew Hao Yaoqi's loyalty in history.

Since he didn't want to say more, Li Zijing wouldn't forcefully ask again, let him deal with his affairs.

Li Zijing raised his head slightly, his face became serious.

"Have you made up your mind?"

"My rules are different from General Quan's. You may not accept it."

Hao Yaoqi was taken aback for a moment, as if he had automatically skipped Li Zijing's question just now, with a very surprised expression on his face.

"General Zhi, you, you agree?"

"As long as General Zhi doesn't dislike him, Hao Yaoqi has nothing to think about!"

Li Zijing looked at him and said with a smile.

"Since this is the case, you should stay in the front camp and be the flag officer of my front camp, and be in charge of the banner of my front camp."

"This can be regarded as your job, and there is no promotion or promotion."

Hao Yaoqi's face turned red, and he immediately fell to his knees.

"Thank you, General Zhi, for your trust!"

"From now on, when the big banner is here, I, Hao Yaoqi, will be here!"

"If the enemy wants to seize the banner, they must step over my corpse!"

Li Zijing helped him up, wiped off the dust on his arrow jacket, and then walked towards the open space in front of the camp holding the Yanling Saber on his waist.

The night was deep, and everything was still.

Li Zijing closed his eyes tightly, then opened them, and let out a light breath.

"Strike the gong."

Hao Yaoqi nodded, then strode forward.

Not long after, a rush of gongs sounded in the former camp garrison.

"Bang bang bang—"

There was a sudden panic in the camp, and the old soldiers in the camp and their family members who accompanied them all poked their heads out.

Buzzing discussions rang in my ears, Li Zijing stood with his knife in the open space, behind him was Hao Yaoqi with the same solemn expression.

Over the past few days, many veteran soldiers of the former battalion have gotten to know Li Zijing, the third younger brother of the current Emperor Yongchang, who is also known as Little Chuang Wang.

In the past, these bluffing names were the object of everyone's discussion and ridicule, but since the defeat of Duoduo, they have become synonymous with the former camp, and many people have re-acquainted with this little Chuang Wang.

The former battalion has been in a slump since the Battle of Qingdu. The original general, Gu Kecheng, was killed in battle, and the establishment was almost broken up by the Qing army.

The morale of the front battalion is also the weakest among the five battalions in the field. There has been no management, and it has made the battalion extremely slack. It doesn't look like a main battalion at all.

Many people thought that Li Zijing would give a lecture during practice tomorrow morning, but they didn't expect to strike the gong tonight.

The military order is like a mountain, even if the old soldiers in the front battalion don't want to, they can only get up from the straw mat and report in the open space.

After the establishment of Xiangyang, Li Zicheng always attached great importance to the military regulations and discipline of the old soldiers.

Now that the Dashun Army has won in Tongguan, Li Zicheng has regained his strength, and the generals of the Dashuns have also begun to re-emphasize military regulations and discipline.

The military laws of the Dashun Army did not have as many regulations as the Ming Army, only three sentences.

The former looks back, the latter kills.

Those who have horses in the ranks will be beheaded, and those who have horses that have entered the fields will be beheaded.

People who steal a chicken will die.

Li Zijing's stern eyes slid between the sparse tents, scanning the more and more veterans of the former camp in front of him.

These veteran soldiers are very brave in battle, and they do their best when digging tunnels, but they are usually lazy and unreasonable, and they don't look like a group of veterans of many battles.

Only the more than one hundred veteran soldiers who followed Li Zijing at the beginning stood up fairly neatly and came out relatively quickly.

"What is this for?"

"I don't know, the new official takes office three fires!"

"In the middle of the night, do you still let people sleep?"

Listening to the discussion in front of him, Li Zijing felt a group of flies buzzing around his ears, suppressed the anger in his heart, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stood in the open space waiting.

I don't know how long I waited, but the voices of the crowd grew louder and gradually became silent now.

Now the Li Zijing big banner in Qianying has not been completed yet, so Hao Yaoqi, who is like an iron tower, has taken on the responsibility of personal guard, standing firmly by Li Zijing's side all the time.

The fierce light in Hao Yaoqi's eyes made many veteran soldiers who had experienced many battles tremble with fear.

After listening to the silence for a while, Li Zijing opened his eyes this time and looked around at everyone.

"All done?"

Li Zijing's eyes were like icy moonlight, and the smile on anyone's face would disappear immediately when he saw it.

No one dared to speak anymore, but even so, there was still dissatisfaction in their eyes.

These are veterans who have fought many times from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Everyone has a murderous aura, and because they have not been restrained by military regulations for a long time, they are full of ruffian aura.

Most of them had more lives in their hands than Li Zijing.

Li Zijing had already tried the method of killing people and leading the army before, but it seemed that this was far from enough, so this time he planned to find another way, and first select some trustworthy personal guards.

"You don't have to guess, I am your new general, and I was sent by His Majesty to replace Gu Kecheng."

"I'm here this time, one is not to light three fires, and the other is not to have nothing to do in the middle of the night, so I can't sleep and toss you."

"After listening to these words, if you are still not interested, you can go back to sleep at any time."

"No one will trouble you because of what happened tonight."

As Li Zijing said, he paid special attention to the changes in the expressions of many people.

Although the old soldiers of the former battalion in the open space didn't have much discussion, the change in expression was still very obvious.

Many people already had disdain on their faces, and they seemed ready to run back to sleep anytime.

Li Zijing didn't care about the appearance of these people, and walked up to Hao Yaoqi and stood still.

"I am here this time to select some of the old soldiers in the front battalion to be my close cavalry."

"You should all know this person. He is the new flag officer Hao Yaoqi. He will temporarily lead the elite cavalry from the former battalion selected by him."

As soon as these words came out, the more than a thousand old soldiers in the camp were all surprised.

They have always paid attention to the three fires when new officials take office, and they have also heard that Li Zijing killed a person to enforce the military law on the day he became the head of the Ministry.

But they didn't expect that when they took office this time, they gave them good news.

Jingqi is the most elite existence in the Dashun Army. Although the death rate on the battlefield is high, they are treated at the top level in all aspects, so they are extremely loyal.

In the battle of Tongguan, a large part of the reason why many veteran soldiers of the Chinese army did not retreat was to promote their meritorious service to become elite cavalry in the future.

But even if you are already a strong soldier, it is not so easy to be promoted to Jingqi.

For veteran soldiers like them, the rebuilding of the former battalion was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
