Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 152 Arriving at Jimen for the First Time
(PS: The second update will be delivered, and continue to ask for monthly tickets at the end of the month.)
The military name of the Gou Shaocheng management team is of course a joke, the enemy can call it, but its own people can’t. After several debates, the official name of the new army was finally settled on the insistence of Young Master Zhang. The name is murderous - Tu Nujun !Take the meaning of slaughtering and building slaves!The vermilion flag directly writes the word "slaughter slave", which is the general flag of the whole army.The four teams of thousands of people also adopted the suggestions of the four thousand generals, and named them respectively: Tiger Hunting Team - the banner is painted with two big tigers with hanging foreheads and white eyes, and Wu Liuqi is in charge; Jiqi Team - the banner is an eagle , Zhao Lilun is in charge; Tianxiong team - the flag is bear, Lu Xiangsheng is in charge; wolf flag team - the flag is wolf, Wu Sangui is in charge!Needless to say, the personal army is in charge of Zhang Shitou, who is most trusted by Young Master Zhang.

Among the four temporary commanders-in-chief, Wu Liuqi has already been promoted to the rank of deputy general, while Zhao Shilun and Lu Xiangsheng are the deputy commander-in-chief and the governor respectively. As the temporary head of the Slave Slaughter Army, none of the three had any objections, because the three of them knew very well that with Young Master Zhang's background, backing and ability, as long as he hugged his thick thighs tightly, even if he was a personal soldier, he would have no objection in the future. There are many opportunities to get promoted and make a fortune, and in this move, Young Master Zhang also regards them as his confidantes and entrusts them with the military power of the direct line, so the three of them naturally not only have no objections, but are also very grateful.The only trouble is Wu Sangui. The wolf cavalry team saw that Master Zhang appointed a half-grown child under the age of 15 as their leader. Naturally, they protested loudly, thinking that Master Zhang was nepotism. Whoever can beat Wu Sangui on the team can replace him. As a result, after more than a dozen 1.8-meter-[-] strong men were beaten to the ground by Wu Sangui, the Wolf Cavalry team still accepted the young boss sincerely.

On June [-]th, Feng Heyunli put on the brand-new military uniforms and armor that the Ministry of War had sent to Jinan Prefecture a long time ago, and was issued with flag weapons. Full lined up in the Jiaozhou battlefield, held the flag ceremony for the founding of the army, and prepared to set off for Jimen.At the ceremony, Young Master Zhang offered three sacrifices first, and led the whole army to sacrifice to heaven, earth and the Fourteenth Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and then distributed four military flags. Ladies and gentlemen, the [-]th day of June in the sixth year of the Great Ming Dynasty is the day when our Slave Slaughter Army was established! It is also the day when the death knell of the Northeast Slaves and the Southwest rebels sounded! Because our Slave Slaughter Army not only kills the Slaves, but protects the homeland, We must also completely wipe out those traitors who endanger the Ming court and the people of Ming Dynasty!"

The applause rang out, but Young Master Zhang didn't appreciate it. He waved his hands to stop the applause, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, don't use applause to perfuse me. I won't appreciate it if you slap your palms sorely! I just want you to remember one thing, From the day you joined the army, no matter whether you were training and killing the enemy, or sleeping and resting, the imperial court gave you three cents of silver every day, and the three meals a day were indispensable! Where did the imperial court’s silver and food come from? The people worked so hard to dig it out of the soil, and planted it from the field with a drop of sweat. Why do the court and the people support you, just to fight the enemy and defend the country! You eat the food of the emperor , use the money of the people, and refuse to kill the enemy to defend the country, what is the use of supporting you?!"

"Eat the emperor's food!" Wu Liuqi, who was the loudest, took the lead in shouting, and Zhao Shuilun, Lu Xiangsheng, Wu Sangui, Zhang Shitou and others would all shout in unison, "Use the money of the common people!"

"Protect the country and protect the family!" Wu Liuqi shouted again, and the generals echoed again, "Kill the enemy and protect the people!"

"Eat the emperor's food, use the people's silver! Protect the country, protect the family, kill the enemy and protect the people!" The generals shouted loudly, leading the soldiers of the slave slaughter army to shout rhythmically, "Eat the emperor's food, use the people's silver! The country protects the family, kills the enemy and protects the people! Eat the emperor's food, use the people's silver! Protect the country and the family, kill the enemy and protect the people! Eat the emperor's food, use the people's silver! Protect the country and family, kill the enemy and protect the people...!"

"Let's go!" Young Master Zhang mounted his horse, waved and shouted.Amidst the sound of war drums, more than [-] slave-slaughter troops lined up neatly, shouting the eighteen-character slogan of protecting the country and protecting the family. They left their hometown with their heads held high amid the tears of Jiaozhou folks and walked to Dengzhou to board a ship and take the sea route. Landed in Tianjin.During this period, I don't know how many parents, wives and children of the slave soldiers stood by the roadside, saying goodbye to their husbands and sons with tears, and offering boiled eggs and finely stitched insoles. The sound of crying for their husbands never stopped, but The slogan of protecting the family and the country has never stopped, "Eat the emperor's food, use the people's silver! Protect the country and family, kill the enemy and protect the people—!"

Young Master Zhang's Jiaozhou conscription plan was successfully completed. The Jiaozhou recruits, who had nothing but strength, were also full of expectations for a better life. They were fooled by Young Master Zhang and boarded a pirate ship bound for Tianjin.But what every recruit in Jiaozhou does not know is that what awaits them in the future will be a rigorous training comparable to hell, as well as the repeated tossing and tossing of Master Zhang, and the cruel battlefield where blood and fire intersect!May God bless these simple rural youths in Jiaozhou, and also bless their bloody fighting for five days and six nights in the Tashan blockade without taking a step back, and bless their heroic might in advance in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. .

………………

On June 23, the slave slaughtering army arrived in Dengzhou (Penglai), and they all boarded the ship on the same day and sailed away from the dock; on June 26, when the ship arrived at Dagukou in Tianjin, the slave slaughtering army followed Master Zhang to Jizhou ( On June [-]th, Master Zhang's team arrived in Jizhou as scheduled to join the Mangui troops who had been waiting for many days.As the governor of Jimen, Young Master Zhang also entered this city for the first time, where everything is up to him from now on. Back then, Qi Jiguang, backed by Zhang Juzheng, served as the chief soldier of Jimen. All disobedient superiors and subordinates were dismissed and rushed home to take care of their children. If you dare to make trouble, it is called throwing an egg at a rock.

Jimen has nine guards and eighteen gates, the most important of which are Gubeikou and Xifengkou. Each guard has 600 soldiers. The total strength is said to be more than 15, but in fact it is only 40. People, and many of them are old and weak soldiers. The situation of military households fleeing and generals eating up their quota is very serious.But these situations are long-standing malpractices, and this situation is everywhere in the country, so Master Zhang was not very angry, but ordered the commander of the Nine Guards: "I don't care how much space you have eaten, as long as your army is accurate. Numbers, especially the exact numbers of young and strong soldiers over the age of [-] and under the age of [-]! Report it honestly, you can talk about anything, and you can discuss it. If anyone dares to play tricks, I will not join you, and I will directly invite you to the Dongchang Prison On trial! If you feel that I am not capable of this, you can come and give it a try!"

It is true that Young Master Zhang has never been to Jimen, but his name has already spread throughout the entire Jimen area. Facing this living king who dared to punish even the emperor's younger brother and killed tens of thousands in Shengjing, ninety-nine The commanders of the guards did not dare to play tricks, and they all honestly handed over the accurate troops that had long been silent.And the final result also made young master Zhang angry and funny. The nine guards claimed to have 600 soldiers, but the actual number of soldiers was only 780, and the number of young and strong soldiers was only [-]. Moreover, Dongsheng Youwei, who is in charge of defending the most important pass, Xifengkou, also has the most space. With an establishment of [-] people, the actual strength is only [-].First Young Master Zhang shook his head and smiled wryly, then shouted, "Who is Yu Meixin, Commander of Dongsheng Right Guard? Stand up!"

"The last general is here." Amidst the trembling promise, a guard commander who was as fat as a meatball came out with his stomach lifted—why did he lift his stomach?Because once he lets go, the fat on his stomach can sag, catch his knees, and trip him up. His obesity level is as close as that of An Lushan back then. What is more eye-catching is the two lumps of fat on his chest, which are almost the same size. Biboba 36D!Young Master Zhang shook his head and smiled, and asked: "Commander Yu, you still seem to have the rank of general soldier? If Jiannu or Tatars attack from the Xifeng entrance in your defense area, how do you plan to defend against the enemy?"

"The last general leads the army to fight bloody battle to the death. Unless the last general falls, Jiannu and Tatar will never enter the customs!" Commander Yu said beautifully in the scene - mainly because he is used to it.Young Master Zhang smiled and asked: "How long can you hold off the enemy with less than 800 troops in your hand? Can you last until the reinforcements arrive?"

"At the end of the day, I think it should be possible..." Commander Yu promised tremblingly.Young Master Zhang nodded, and then said: "Well, even if you can block it at Xifeng Pass, then if the enemy splits up and attacks your defense zone at the same time, Xifeng Pass, Panjiakou, Longjing Pass, Hongshan Pass, Luowenyu, Da'an Pass, Catfish Pass, etc. How can you resist the eight gates of Guan and Malanyu? Divide your troops to resist, do you have enough troops?"

"This..." Commander Yu was speechless.Young Master Zhang changed his face and shouted: "After you go back to Zunhua, I will give you a month to repair the beacon tower, strictly enforce the beacon alarm system, and expand the army to 600 people! I will send you 600 people." Military pay, the remaining 1000 military pay will be deducted for the training of the new army! One month later, I will go to your defense area to check, there are [-] soldiers missing, and I will not invite you to enter the East Factory, just march directly, kill first and then play! "

"Of order." Commander Yu timidly agreed, wiping the oily sweat off his face.Young Master Zhang added, "Also, don't expect me to temporarily find some civilians to fill up the bill during the inspection. I won't notify you before I go for the inspection. Maybe I will be in plain clothes, and maybe I will send someone to watch you secretly."

Commander Yu was so sad that he didn't even dare to say anything, so Young Master Zhang pointed to the other commanders of the eight guards, and said slowly: "It's the same with you, within a month, the beacon tower will be refurbished, the beacon fire alarm system will be strictly enforced, and all the troops will be expanded for me." When the number reaches 600, 600 will receive military pay, and all the rest will be deducted for the training of the new army. The old and weak soldiers, those who should be eliminated, will be eliminated, and let them go to the reclamation army to plant sweet potatoes. I have called potato seeds People are transported from Shandong, and you will take them back in a while. This product is high-yield, and one mu of land can harvest more than 2000 catties of grain. The land planted by the army can reduce the burden on the national treasury and increase your income. Do you understand? ?”

"The general will follow orders." The eight commanders of the garrison guards clasped their fists together and agreed.One of the commanders said cautiously: "Master Governor, it's not that we deliberately want to take so many vacancies, but that the imperial court often delays our military pay. The longest time it didn't pay the military pay for half a year, and it often paid less. We can still handle it with some vacancy." It is urgently needed at the moment, and after this expansion, we are afraid that..."

"I don't care if you were in arrears with your military pay in the past." Young Master Zhang said coldly: "But from now on, if the officials of the household department dare to give you less than a penny and owe you a day's military pay, even if he is Feng Quan, the Shangshu of the household department, I dare to smash the door of his house! Snatch the private money of his wife and send it to you!" The nine guard commanders were secretly stunned, thinking that after all, he was his own son who was nine thousand years old, so he dared to go so far. I don't know if it's true?But worrying about it, the generals under Young Master Zhang soon discovered that Young Master Zhang was indeed not bragging. With Wei Zhongxian's personal interrogation, Feng Quan really did not dare to deduct a penny of Young Master Zhang's military salary, even if he dragged Liaodong. Those who dare to delay Young Master Zhang.This is something for later, let's not mention it for now.

"Don't be dumbfounded." Young Master Zhang stood up and said with a smile: "In the court, we are superior and inferior, and the hierarchy is strict. Under the court, we are good brothers. I just arrived in Jimen today, and the general soldier of Mangui prepared for me Let’s all go to the feast to cleanse the wind and cleanse the dust, have a good drink, and connect with each other—this governor will bet that you will find that this governor actually has a lot of common preferences with you.”

On the first day of July, when Young Master Zhang was still familiar with the situation in Jimen, the slave slaughter army had already undergone rigorous training under the leadership of the four black-hearted generals.Before training, in addition to the original waist knife, each slave soldier received a model gun with the same weight as a rifled gun, a model triangular thorn, and a belt pocket that simulated the weight of ammunition The belt and a vest that weighs [-] jin and is filled with lead sand, the total load reaches [-] jin.The chief training officer, Zhang Dapao, told the recruit Danzi viciously, "Listen to me, starting from today, you have to carry these things on your back every morning, and you are not allowed to take them off until evening, and then run to Jingeryu in the north of Jizhou. On the school grounds, the time limit is half an hour! Those who fall behind, those who exceed the time limit, will be punished with twenty push-ups for the first time, and ten whips for the second time, do you understand?"

"Understood!" More than 4000 recruits didn't know how deep they were, and honestly agreed, and then honestly shouted slogans, followed by four unscrupulous agents Qian Zong and an even more unscrupulous chief training officer, and there were Man Gui's cavalry riding beside him. Horse Supervision.When they ran to Jingeryu panting with a burden of sixty catties on their backs, the unscrupulous general only gave the recruits a break with a cup of tea, and then began to practice standing in line and marching in line. It doesn't matter if the recruits are in disorder, the four black-hearted thousand will always use the whip to correct them. After a few whips, you will remember your position for the rest of your life.After practicing these two items, I started to practice turning left and right again. Fortunately, Master Zhang knew that the illiteracy rate is high these days and it is difficult to distinguish between left and right, so he explained in advance to use his right hand chopsticks and left hand instead, so most of the recruits escaped by chance. After the catastrophe, only a very small number of soldiers were unlucky, yelling chopsticks to turn left, yelling rice bowls to turn right, they were beaten by several black-hearted generals, and they couldn't tell the difference. It was the more careful Lu Xiangsheng who finally discovered the reason—— It turns out that these unlucky people are all left-handed...

High-intensity training must be based on a reasonable diet, and a high-protein diet is an essential foundation.Fortunately, as long as Wei Zhongxian is still on stage for a day, Young Master Zhang will never have to worry about food expenses for the army. He also holds the border market in Mongolia, and it is easy to purchase cattle and sheep. Therefore, the lunch of recruits is egg soup, four taels of beef and mutton, and thick noodles. Being full with vegetables, the recruits who were exhausted from eating almost shed tears. They all said that if the food was not good, even if they were caught and would be killed, I would be a deserter no matter what.

After lunch, there will be even more brutal bayonet training in the afternoon. The six bayonet moves jointly created by two masters, Lu Xiangsheng and Wu Liuqi, are simple and practical. They only teach one move a day, but they have to stab the air [-] times a day for each move. If the strength is insufficient, the whip will be reminded and corrected; then the grass man will be stabbed three hundred times, and it is required to pass through the grass man every time.After [-] stabs, it was almost dark. Every recruit felt that his shoulders were about to be disjointed, and his hands were so sore that he couldn't even lift his hands. And turn left and right, and then return to the camp in the standard queue of the team-the time limit is still one hour, and those who are late will still be punished.

What moved the recruits of the Slaughtering Army was that although their instructors seemed to be the bad offspring born of the adultery of Satan and Pandora, their coach, Young Master Zhang, was a very, very good gentleman, definitely worthy of the Ming court's morals. role model.When they returned to the barracks in the dark, Young Master Zhang had already prepared delicious and hot meals for them, and stayed in the barracks with military doctors and wound medicines. , These recruits were moved to tears, and they loved this handsome and extraordinary young coach from the bottom of their hearts.

The recruit Danzi’s love for Young Master Zhang only lasted until the end of dinner, when Young Master Zhang said that to several devil instructors—after eating a pot with the soldiers, Young Master Zhang said, “I just now I looked at the sky with Mr. Song. It might rain tomorrow, but fortunately, the medicine for typhoid fever was delivered to Jizhou from the capital today, so you don’t have to stop training tomorrow. Also, remember to practice once in the evening The emergency muster must train the military's resilience from the very beginning."
