Chen Chunsheng never thought that the first time he killed someone since joining the army, he actually killed his comrades-in-arms with his own hands!

The mountain army advanced into the hinterland of Luchuan, and went straight to Annan to kill, in the dangerous mountains and dense forests, the army once fell into the fields without food and water, and could only rely on wild fruits, rivers, and wild grasses to satisfy hunger, and occasionally a few soldiers who were also mountain people beat a few hares, but it was not enough to eat at all.

There were greedy and hungry people who caught a few mice, snakes and other game, but after eating, they were delirious and hurt their comrades, Chen Chunsheng had to hold back his tears and slash his sick comrades to death.

"If you can't control your greed and eat wild meat, you will be dealt with by military law!"

Chen Chunsheng scolded with red eyes, "Don't blame me for not warning you, the martyrs of the Ming Dynasty who died in battle and starved to death were all my Ming martyrs, and the court had a pension of fifty taels of silver, and they were cut down for violating military law, but there was nothing!" ”

More than a hundred or so people were silent, and a few of them hurriedly threw down the dead mouse in their arms, and followed Chen Chunsheng to continue to grope in the mountains.

Fortunately, on the road of endless heaven, in a place surrounded by mountains and rivers, as soon as the team came out of the dense forest, they saw a village at the foot of the mountain not far away.

"100 households, there are ploughing cattle!"

The sharp-eyed climbed the tree and looked at it for a long time, and reported the good news to Chen Chunsheng, "There are about 30 households." ”

Chen Chunsheng licked his dry lips, put the musket behind his back, and pulled out the short knife at his waist, "Touch it." ”

The hundred or so people tiptoed closer, and a few people with good eyesight climbed the big tree from time to time to observe, and after repeatedly making sure that there were no Tibetan soldiers in the village, Chen Chunsheng jumped up, "!" Brothers have something to eat! ”

They were all young and strong young men, and their hungry eyes were red, and when they heard this, they suddenly screamed, startling a group of birds, and also attracted the attention of the villagers in the village not far away.

"Woo-woo-woo-woo."

Chen Chunsheng couldn't understand the words of the natives, but the group of natives did not imagine the resistance of picking up a sickle and hoe, but knelt in the ridge of the field and kowtowed vigorously, it seemed that it should be begging for mercy.

"Damn, what kind of bird language are they?"

Chen Chunsheng took off the kettle on the waist of a villager, raised his neck and drank happily, "Who the will say what the hell I know!" If not, you're welcome. ”

A dozen villagers looked at each other, and then an old man stood up tremblingly, "I will, I will." ”

"It won't get you up." The guarded soldier kicked the old man down, "Just kneel and say." ”

Chen Chunsheng glared at the soldier, walked over and pulled up the old man, "Will you tell me what to say?" ”

"Yes, yes."

The old man nodded hurriedly, "I wanted to go to Yunnan to test Xiucai in my early years, and I read a few books. ”

Chen Chunsheng was happy, "Hey, have you seen it, this Annan man still wants to be our Ming official." ”

The old man smiled flatteringly, "The Heavenly Empire is a kingdom, and naturally I yearn for it." ”

Annan has its own system, since the state system, for hundreds of years strictly speaking, it has been one of the most loyal vassal states in China, no matter how the Annan country changes the dynasty, from the Li Yue Dynasty at the beginning of the Song Dynasty to the current Chen Yue Dynasty, all of them have been canonized by the Central Plains Celestial Dynasty as a special honor.

For the Annan Kingdom, it is politically justifiable to obtain the canonization of the Celestial Empire, so since the Song Dynasty, there have been many cultural people sent by the Han Dynasty in the territory of Annam, that is, the so-called propaganda envoys responsible for education.

After learning the Chinese script, many people in Annam crossed the border into the Chinese territory in an attempt to participate in the imperial examination.

The current Annan country, the king's name is Chen An, still a child, Hu Jili has been in power as a relative for many years, controlling the government, Hu Jili's real name should now be called Li Jichen, his ancestral home is Zhejiang, the surname Hu is the descendant of the Han people who fled south to Annam, he will usurp the throne next year, and then change back to his ancestral surname after usurpation, so he is called Hu Jili, which is convenient here.

Even the kings and ministers of Annan are all descendants of the Han people, so naturally the atmosphere of worshipping Han culture from top to bottom in the whole country of Annan is very heavy.

"If you can say that I am a big man."

Chen Chunsheng patted the old man's shoulder, "I am the Heavenly Empire, and I am the master of benevolence and righteousness. ”

Jiang Yushan, the "champion prince" who had previously taught Chen Chunsheng to participate in the challenge of 100 households, came over and "rebelled against Hu Jili." ”

"Yes, Hu Jili." Chen Chunsheng took over and scolded, "It's all that traitor Hu Jili, who committed rebellion, and dared to disturb my Ming border, the crime is unforgivable, we came to arrest him, and you don't want to fight against Wang Shi." ”

The old man was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, "General, how dare we fight against Wang Shi, we don't dare." ”

Hey, okay, a small hundred households have been called generals, and Chen Chunsheng's face blossomed.

"Since you don't dare, then Wang Shi came to quell the rebellion, shouldn't he eat pot pulp to reward Wang Shi?"

Jiang Yushan glared, "Slaughter two pigs and prepare a dry food, shouldn't it?" ”

After all, grabbing will damage the reputation of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty, and it is good to be able to cover up the point.

The old man immediately came to his senses and nodded incessantly, "It should be, it should be." ”

Under the organization of the old man, the villagers slaughtered the two piglets raised in the village with tears, set up more than a dozen cauldrons to cook, and watched Chen Chunsheng and his party eat a thick waist and a round belly.

"Hiccup."

Chen Chunsheng burped, wiped the fat on his mouth, and licked it clean, "You have made a meritorious service, I will give you a chance today." ”

I'm in my fifties, and I still have a chance to fart.

The old man lamented in his heart, those two piglets belong to his family, and they were kept to raise for the children to marry their daughters-in-law, and now they are in your stomachs.

"The general has an order, and the little old man must go to the soup."

Chen Chunsheng was happy, took out the map in his arms, "We are going to Qinghua, how to go." ”

The capital of Annam is Hanoi, but two years ago, Hu Jili conquered and occupied the city, and Thanh Hoa became the logistics transfer point of Annam, and the burning of Thanh Hoa City was the strategic target formulated by Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di.

Attacking the enemy must be saved, the mountain army went deep into the enemy's belly, and if they wanted to attract Hu Jili to send a large army to encircle and suppress, Qinghua was the best bait.

The little old man trembled and pointed to the southeast, "After another five hundred miles, you will reach the Red River Plain, and go south around Hanoi to Thanh Hoa." ”

There are still five hundred miles.

Although the marching speed of the mountain army in the dangerous mountains and dense forests is much faster than that of the regular army in Yunnan, it is more than 500 miles, how can it take seven or eight days, and the food and drink during this period are really fatal.

"Is there a village like yours on this journey?"

This group of living demon kings.

The old man didn't understand what Chen Chunsheng meant, so he hurriedly took a pen and sketched on the map, "Yes, there are about three or five hundred villages like ours, and the few that the little old man knows have all been pointed out by the general." ”

Chen Chunsheng took the map into his arms and patted the old man's shoulder again, "When Lao Tzu catches that Hu Jili, you come to Yunnan to find me, and I will give you credit." Brothers, let's go. ”

The old man looked at the back of Chen Chunsheng and his entourage, tears of excitement welled up in his eyes, and finally sent away this group of evil spirits, it was not easy.

In the future, I have to go to Yunnan if I say anything, and I don't care about it, I just want to see if I can get some interest back.

Huh? You're telling me the name!

The old man burst into tears.
