Chapter 50: The Battle of the Southwest (1)

Chen Chunsheng is a mountain man in Guizhou, he lives by going up the mountain to collect medicine with his father, and his father said that when he is twenty years old, he will give him a daughter-in-law, Chen Chunsheng feels that this life should be like this.

I didn't expect that a big official came to Nanjing last year, and he wanted to recruit a group of good seedlings who could climb the rock and climb the trees to join the army, and the annual salary was twenty taels.

is not afraid that being a soldier will not die, Chen Chunsheng resolutely joined the army, with the foundation of growing up in the mountains since childhood, Chen Chunsheng easily passed the recruitment assessment, and later followed the official called Guogong from Nanjing to Yunnan.

Fresh territory, fresh barracks, fresh life, everything is new to Chen Chunsheng, although the days in the barracks are very hard, every day before dawn you have to get up to gather and practice what queue pose, and then you have to carry dozens of catties of food on your back and run for a long time with a stick called 01 musket, but this is still easy for Chunsheng who has been crawling in the mountains since he was a child.

It's just that there is a group of wicked and vicious bad people in the barracks who beat them with whips at every turn, and this group of self-proclaimed instructors with whips was brought by the big official of the Guogong to Nanjing, and the instructor said that this link is called armed cross-country, and Chen Chunsheng hates them very much. Because they not only beat people, but also often blow trumpets in the middle of the night, engage in some emergency gatherings, and the big guys who toss can't even sleep well.

After lunch, the big guy has to go into the mountain, the mountain is full of trees and thorns, the instructor pierced a lot of wooden people in the mountain, let the big guy practice stabbing and decapitating with a short knife, Chen Chunsheng several times because of the untimely reaction in the running and marching was scratched by the branches and thorns on the side of the ground, less than half a year of effort, the face and body are full of scars.

Although the days are very hard, Chen Chunsheng is very happy. Because in addition to eating a rich meal of meat at noon every day, every ten days, the military camp will come to fight Yunnan to hire an opera troupe to sing songs.

In this way, Chen Chunsheng's life was full and interesting, and he also received the first salary since joining the army, a full twenty taels of silver, which can be used to buy an acre of mountain land in his hometown.

"When I go back to my hometown as a soldier for a few years and buy a few acres of land, I Chen Chunsheng will also be a person with property and hospital."

Chunsheng was beautiful, but the comrades-in-arms on the side were very disdainful, "Look at your appearance, it's only twenty taels, do you know how many of our 100 households a year?" I tell you, fifty taels of silver. As he spoke, he stretched out a slap and shook it in front of Chen Chunsheng, causing Chen Chunsheng's eyes to straighten.

Chunsheng took a breath with envy, "Good girl, I want to be a hundred households for ten years, and I will be a landlord when I go back to our hometown." Speaking of this, Chunsheng shook his head again, "I don't have this fate." ”

The comrade-in-arms poked Chunsheng, "You think about eating and sleeping every day, don't you read the announcements in our hundreds of schools?" ”

Chunsheng scratched his head and smiled, "I'm illiterate." ”

The comrades-in-arms were immediately happy, and quietly told Chunsheng, "Let me tell you, the announcement said that our mountain army, from the small flag, the general flag to the hundred households, are all capable people, and the other hundred households are all read out, we are careful in the hundreds of households, afraid that people will pout him before he posted something in the school field, he didn't expect that I can read." ”

"Yo, then you are the champion of our hundred households." Chen Chunsheng suddenly raised his thumb, "Good brother, say quickly, if you challenge, you can challenge anything." ”

"Marksmanship, fighting, obstacle running." The comrade-in-arms snapped his fingers and said, "Just these three things, you have more than 100 households, and the seat of 100 households is yours." ”

Chunsheng didn't sleep all night that night, he knew that his three achievements were the first in their small banner, in Chen Chunsheng's heart, he was the life of a small soldier, that is, the second dog of Xiaoqi was not as good as him, let Chunsheng do what Chunsheng is also honestly tight, this heard that he can challenge the election of 100 households, Chunsheng can't sleep with grass in his heart.

Early the next morning, Chunsheng put forward the idea of challenging his own hundred households, but the instructor did not reprimand him, but came back from the camp in the afternoon and told him that the battalion commander had approved it, and asked him to prepare, and the battalion commander came to the school three days later.

The mountain army has a staff of 20,000 people, the commander is Xu Huizu's name, the deputy commander is Mu Sheng, divided into ten mountain battalions, the battalion commander and two battalion deputies, and then down are two thousand households, twenty hundred households, each hundred households are under the jurisdiction of two general flags, ten small flags, can see the battalion commander, Chunsheng is very happy.

In the later competition, Chunsheng was very competitive, scored 96 rings in ten shots, and defeated his own 100 households in fighting and obstacle running, so he changed from a small soldier to 100 households.

Chunsheng didn't sleep well for more than ten days, and often pinched himself in the middle of the night to question whether he was dreaming.

"Chunsheng, Chunsheng."

The team had just come out of the mountains, and Chen Chunsheng was busy with the whole team, when the general flag of a battalion ran over, "The battalion commander is looking for it." ”

So Chen Chunsheng received his first task since the army: the whole team went south.

The battalion commander gave Chunsheng a lot of projectiles and gunpowder, which were good items that could be carried with him and killed, and Chunsheng was not given even half a piece of dry food.

Chen Chunsheng was puzzled, "Yingzheng, where are we going south?" When will you come back? ”

The battalion commander smiled, "Whatever you want, go wherever you want, come back when you want, but you can't come back empty-handed, either bring food or people." ”

Chen Chunsheng's face changed in fright, he thought that he would cut off his head when he came back, and the battalion commander told him, "After you go south, except for our comrades-in-arms, anyone you encounter is your enemy, as long as you have weapons in your hands, kill them all, you have to have the ability, fight all the way to Thanh Hoa, and I, the battalion commander, will be your enemy." ”

Chunsheng had studied maps in the military camp and knew that Thanh Hoa was a city in the country of Annam, in the rear, more than 3,000 miles away from the border of the Luchuan military camp.

"The battalion commander is joking." Chen Chunsheng grinned, "Without food, how can I get it." ”

The battalion commander glared at him, "After leaving the barracks, you will find your own way to get food." ”

Chunsheng understood, this was for him to rob, and before he could speak, the battalion commander opened his mouth again, "In addition to food, what is valuable is not valuable, how much you can pick up depends on your ability." ”

Chunsheng swallowed his saliva, understood in his heart, and immediately clenched his fists, "Take the order." ”

This is Chunsheng's first time on the battlefield, and he still leads the troops as an independent supreme commander, although there are only a hundred people, but the command is undoubtedly in Chunsheng's hands.

There is no clear task, no strategic goal, or even a marching route, from Luchuan to Annam, Chen Chunsheng's team can do whatever it wants, no one will give orders like him, and there are two hundred people like Chunsheng!

And these 200 hundred households all got a unified promise before leaving: the first to enter Thanh Hoa, promoted to battalion commander, got the head of Dao Ganmeng or Hu Jili, and promoted to deputy commander, if both of them got their heads, they would go to Nanjing with these two heads to face the saint!

Feng Hou worships the generals, the ladder to heaven has been set up, and the splendid future is just around the corner, whether you can grasp it depends on the ability of the spring students.

The Battle of the Southwest of Daming Ping began.
