A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 218 Moving to the Eastern Suburbs
There was no sound in the hall, and for a while, Yang Guozhu tentatively said: "The governor, the governor..."

Lu Xiangsheng straightened up, he tried his best to cheer up, looked at the generals present, his face was full of anticipation: "Although the governor and the high supervisor army divide the troops, the generals still need to serve the country wholeheartedly, and don't be discouraged by the lack of soldiers. The thieves ran rampant in Gyeonggi, killing our people and destroying our homeland, all my courtiers of the Ming Dynasty should share the same hatred with the enemy and try our best to defeat the evil pills of the captives."

"All generals, Lu is here, please!"

Having said that, he bowed deeply to everyone.

Wang Pu first raised his arms and shouted: "Swear to follow the governor, kill thieves and serve the country."

Everyone shouted: "Kill the thief and serve the country, kill the thief and serve the country."

The hall was full of shouts. Seeing the anger of the crowd, Lu Xiangsheng's eyes were full of relief. He said: "What the sentry has heard is that the soldiers on the two wings of the slaves will be in the west of the Tongzhou River. There is a decree from the Holy Spirit, let us move to the outskirts of Yongdingmen, and try to protect the east. The suburbs are not lost. The generals will return to camp and set up a stronghold, and follow the governor to the east of the capital."

Everyone went out of the governor's gate one after another, ready to set up camp, and walked out of the gate. Wang Dou heard Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong on the right, muttering: "The emperor told us to move to Yongding even though we knew that the Tartar soldiers were converging to the west of the Tongzhou River. Outside the door, damn, isn’t this going to send us to our deaths?”

His voice was quite low, and only Wang Dou, who was paying close attention to him, could hear him.

Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei walked outside the gate, they looked at each other and smiled wryly, Hu Dawei sighed: "King Qianliqin, this is the result."

He hugged Yang Guozhu and said goodbye. Yang Guozhu and his party felt very heavy, got on the horse, and went to the East Gate of Changping without a word.

After leaving the east gate and outside the city, I heard people screaming and neighing faintly from the southwest of the city. The generals of Guan Ning camped there were pulling out their camps and preparing to follow Gao to dive to Lugou Bridge and other places.Yang Guozhu stayed on his horse and listened for a long time, then he snorted, and his whip cracked in the air, and the group of people rushed towards the Xuanzhen camp at high speed.

After entering the camp, I heard the soldiers in the camp talking about it. Everyone heard that Guan Ning's army had pulled out the camp, and they didn't know what happened.

Entering his own tent of the Chinese army, Yang Guozhu shouted: "All generals return to the camp quickly, and call the generals above the general in the camp to discuss matters."

Wang Dou flew back to the camp, and ordered the drummers of the Chinese army to beat some general drums. Soon, Qian Zong Han Zhong, Wen Fangliang, several subordinate commanders, Chi Dacheng, the direct commander of the battalion, Zhong Tiaoyang, Zhao Xuan, Li Guangheng , Wen Daxing and others arrived.

All the people were neatly dressed, and a large tent was packed to the brim.

Wang Dou swept his eyes and saw that all the generals had arrived. He didn't talk nonsense, straight to the point and said: "Following the order of the governor, I will follow the army to the gate of Yongding, and all the brothers will follow me to the big tent of the army gate to discuss the transfer of troops." business."

Han Zhongchai said joyfully, "Grandma, it's finally going to be a war. It's so boring to stay outside Changping."

The rest didn't say anything, they did whatever Wang Dou told them to do.

When going out, everyone should make all the psychological preparations.

Wang Dou led a large group of generals into Yang Guozhu's tent of the Chinese army. At this time, Yang Guozhu had just knocked down the drum at the first pass.

Seeing that Wang Dou and others had come in, Yang Guozhu took a deep look at Wang Dou, and Guo Yingxian, a Chinese military officer standing on his left, smiled at Wang Dou and gave Wang Dou a thumbs up.

Wang Dou bowed his hands to Yang Guozhu, and stood on the right side of the big tent without saying a word.

When the second drum sounded, Zhang Yan, the counselor of the Xuanfu, led a large group of generals in helmets and armor. He was surprised to see that Wang Dou had already arrived.Glancing at Wang Dou, he bowed his hands to Yang Guozhu and stood on the left side of the big tent.

As soon as the third general's drum was sounded, the guerrilla generals Li Jianming and Wen Hui rushed to the front of Wang Dou. Arranged densely.

When the third drum fell, Yang Guozhu stood up, and slowly scanned the two sides of the big tent, he knew all the generals and officers.

Seeing that all the generals had arrived, he said in a deep voice: "This morning, the governor called all the generals of the army to discuss matters. The governor has already divided the troops with the high supervisor army. We will announce the large army and horses, which will be led by the governor. The governor has an order. East The soldiers from the two wings of the slaves converged at the Hexi of Tongzhou. We Xuanzhen soldiers and horses, together with the brother troops of Datong Town and Shanxi Town, moved to the eastern suburbs outside Yongding Gate. The generals have no doubts, so we will set up camp with our army gate and go to the village. The eastern suburbs."

As soon as his words came out, it was like a frying pan inside the tent.

After Zhang Yan, Li Jianming, Wen Hui and others returned to the camp, they didn't say anything about what happened this morning, they just hurriedly summoned the generals to follow them to the main tent of the Chinese army to discuss matters.After hearing about this incident suddenly, how could all the subordinates not be surprised?

The people were already in the camp, they heard that Guan Ning's army had pulled out the camp, they didn't know what happened, they were all surprised, and after hearing Yang Guozhu's words, many people shouted out.

"I'm waiting well in Changping, why are we going to the eastern suburbs?"

"Why did Duchen Lu separate from the High Supervisor Army?"

"Tongzhou is only a few tens of miles away from the eastern suburbs, and there are tens of thousands of Tartar troops there. After I wait for these people to go, won't we be wolfed into the mouth of a tiger?"

"Is there enough food, grass and equipment to open up the stronghold?"

……

Amidst the uproar, only Wang Dou's subordinates remained silent.

Seeing the generals in the tent like this, Yang Guozhu was furious, and he was about to scold him.

Suddenly a rough voice sounded: "It's good to go to the eastern suburbs. There are tens of thousands of Tartar soldiers in Tongzhou, enough for Lao Han to kill me for a while."

He heard another gentle, magnetic voice with a hint of cynicalism: "Brother Han said well, but don't kill too hard, leave some for me."

The two people's voices echoed in the tent, everyone was startled, and the noise stopped immediately. They looked at the place where they spoke, but there were two generals under the command of the young guerrilla general Wang Dou on the right side of the big tent, one was called Han Zhong, the other was Wen Fangliang.

Both of them were dressed in fine iron armor and bright red capes and cloaks. One was thick and tall, the other was handsome and heroic, each with different styles.Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Han Zhong was even more complacent, looking forward to his pride.

There were constant cold snorts, only Wang Dou and his subordinates smiled.

Yang Guozhu also looked at Han Zhong and Wen Fangliang with admiration for a while, then turned his eyes on Wang Dou who was standing calmly, and shouted: "The governor is determined to do so. As an officer, I will follow and kill thieves. How come so How much nagging?"

He said sternly: "Our army has decided to go to the eastern suburbs with the governor, and all the generals must obey it solemnly. Those who dare to shrink back and resist orders will be handled according to military law!"

Although Yang Guozhu didn't lead Zhang Yan, Li Jianming, and Wen Hui directly, he was famous in Xuanfu Town, and the three of them were restrained by him during the war. Hearing what Yang Guozhu said, everyone clasped their fists and said loudly: "I respect you! The order of the military gate."

With the iron armor clattering, under the unanimity of everyone, the cold aura was restored in the tent.

Yang Guozhu nodded in satisfaction: "All the generals will return to the camp now, set up camp, and head to the eastern suburbs!"

……

Soon, the officers and soldiers of Xuanda's three towns pulled out of the camp one after another, and a group of people called Ma Ni, and the generals of Guanning's towns had already sneaked away with Gao Qi, leaving a large area of ​​empty camps.

Even Lu Xiangsheng's Supervising Biao Battalion, all the troops gathered outside the west gate of Changping, and the blackness seemed to cover the ground.

Lu Xiangsheng's Superintendent Battalion arrived first, followed by officers and soldiers from Xuanfu Town, who were on the left side of the Supervising Battalion.Then the officers and soldiers of Shanxi Town, who are very powerful, arrived, and lived on the right side of the Supervising Biao Battalion.Finally, Wang Pu, the commander-in-chief of Datong, led his army and horses to rush there.

Wang Dou raised his eyes and saw a sea of ​​armor and horses between the sky and the earth.

Most of the superintendent battalions who came to aid, and the main battalions of the three towns' general soldiers were cavalry, and some of the participating generals and guerrillas who came to aid from the towns were also cavalry.

Of these tens of thousands of people, everyone has horses, everyone has armor, either iron armor or cotton armor, and everyone has iron helmets.The Ming army was still red, and most of the cavalry's armor was painted. Looking around, it was a fiery red color, and everyone's feathers were flying in the cold wind.

Moreover, the proportion of firearms used in these horse camps is very high. In the supervisory camp and the main barracks, there are at least hundreds of bird guns, hundreds of three-eyed guns, dozens of tiger squat guns, and tens of thousands of rockets.Behind the horse camp is their densely packed mules and horses, with a large amount of ammunition and horses and other things inside. When encountering enemies in the wild and forming a square camp, hundreds of pairs of horses can densely surround them and protect them.

Wang Dou also saw a large number of artillery placed behind the supply team of the supervising battalion. In addition to a part of the Buddha wolf machine artillery, there were also several Hongyi cannons. Wang Dou estimated that those should be six-pound cannons and three-pound cannons. Guns, each gun needs several mules and horses to pull.

Wang Dou sighed silently. All the soldiers in Daming's battalion were professional soldiers, and they were not bad in terms of weapons and equipment. Why were they repeatedly defeated in the battle against the Qing soldiers?
Looking around, there seems to be endless army horses. On the left side of Wang Dou is the majority of the army of Yang Guozhu, the general of Xuanzhen Town.

Yang Guozhu was wearing iron armor and riding on a strong war horse. Beside him, a large flag was erected high.The flagpole is one foot and five feet long, with a yellow heart and red border, decorated with tasseled head and pheasant tail, and an eight-foot-five-inch horn belt. The six-foot-long trapezoidal flag flutters in the wind, and a big Yang character faintly appears.

Beside him, there are several thousand generals in his headquarters, each with a recognition flag, or a red heart with a blue border, or a black heart with a white border, or a blue heart with a black border, and the flags are clear at a glance.Each of them has a plan on the horse, all of them are armored and armored, and their bodies are thick, giving people a strong feeling.

It can be seen that Yang Guozhu is older than the army. The middle officers and generals of his department, in addition to the Chinese Army, Qian Zong, and Zong Zong, each have their own flags, and each management team and armor leader also has their own flags and helmets. Complete, presumably the command time can be like an arm and a finger.

Looking at the Supervision Battalion on the right, the same is true, and it is even more powerful and tidy.

Wang Dou believed that he came from a later generation and had seen a lot. At this time, the army gathered and the stars gathered. Wang Dou knew that there were people beyond the people, and there was a sky beyond the sky. He still needed to learn a lot, a lot.

At the same time, he was ambitious. One day, he may not be able to be in his squad. At least in this year's battle, he will definitely become famous, so that both the enemy and the enemy dare not underestimate his existence.

……

With the sound of hoofbeats, Lu Xiangsheng and his party galloped out of the city. Lu Xiangsheng was still dressed in sackcloth and filial piety. He was riding on a very handsome white horse, but it was his beloved horse Wu Mingji.He was carrying a fine iron broadsword in his hand, which probably weighed dozens of catties.

It is said that Lu Xiangsheng is full of courage, and he takes the lead in every battle. He is very brave, and he really lives up to his reputation.

Behind Lu Xiangsheng, followed by his loyal servant Gu Xian, the shepherd Yang Lukai and others, and a large group of military staff praised the painting.

Lu Xiangsheng came galloping on horseback. Tens of thousands of soldiers stared at his figure without saying a word.

Looking at the soldiers waiting in line in the field, Lu Xiangsheng showed emotion in his eyes. He rushed to the front of the army, he suddenly tightened the reins, and there was a burst of neighing from the horse. Wu Mingji raised his front hoofs high, and then stopped steadily down.

Lu Xiangsheng turned his head suddenly, looked at Changping City behind him, the past was vivid in his memory, Lu Xiangsheng seemed to be insane.

He turned around, raised the big knife in his hand, and shouted: "Let's go!"

Old White Bull:
There is another chapter tonight.

Tell the readers, if future updates are announced after the chapter, there will be another chapter in the evening.If there is no notification, it will be updated at night, so everyone will watch it the next day.

In addition, some book friends mentioned high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes, and posted data that made everyone cry.In the early years of the Republic of China, the yield of corn per mu in Northeast China was up to [-] kilograms and the lowest was [-] kilograms. If there was an early frost, there would be no harvest.The average yield per mu is fifty kilograms.

There are no good varieties, and things like sweet potatoes and corn are not as advantageous as everyone thinks.Starting from Xu Guangqi, he has worked hard for decades to keep sweet potato and other seedlings alive in the Northland.The large-scale promotion of sweet potatoes and other products in the north was already a matter of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
