At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, on the battlefield, even if they fought in an upright formation, the tactics of the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties were not immutable. In Liaodong, the Ming army had a car artillery battalion, and the Qing army also had a shield car tactic; Since Jiashen, especially after the battle of the magnetic stove in the fifth year of Yongli, the Fujian Ming Army and the Southwest Ming Army with the Great Western Army as the main body have innovated one after another tactics, and once beat the Eight Banners Army and the Green Battalion soldiers all over the ground.

Zheng Chenggong was imposing on the battlefield in southern Fujian, and his army flaunted its might in the territory of Zhangzhou Prefecture until October, when he returned to the center and left to rest.

When the army returned to the division, the losses were minimal, but the gains were unimaginably rich. The whole island was immersed in an atmosphere of joy and joy, the triumphal banquet in the military camp to celebrate the victory, and everywhere inside and outside the city, the families of the soldiers were also rejoicing that their relatives had returned alive, and even the merchants on the island were happy for this - with the reward, it is necessary to improve the living conditions of the next family, this is a business opportunity!

Unlike those places, there were very few Cantonese people among the Ming troops who participated in this battle, and the impact was not very great. At this moment, in the places outside the city where the people of Guangzhou temporarily lived in the center and left, the officers of several standard battalions were resting, so they made an appointment to visit their former comrades-in-arms by the way.

Nie Yiniang's home is located on the west side of this camp, she is a widow, her husband and brother have died in the year when Lingnan Sanzhong rose up to resist the Qing Dynasty, but her parents, younger brother and sister, as well as her in-laws and two brothers-in-law entrusted Chen Kai's blessing, escaped from the human purgatory in Guangzhou City last year, but it has to be said to be a kind of luck.

Because of her, her parents and in-laws' homes live next to each other, so they can take care of each other. Earlier, she braved all odds and joined the patrol standard camp to participate in training, and earned a military salary, which was also distributed to the two families. It's just that the army is a group of men, and it's really inconvenient for a woman to be in it. Even if it was Mulan, she was "walking together for 12 years, and I didn't know that Mulan was a girl", even if she was wearing men's clothes, everyone knew that she was a woman, so after Chen Kai left the Zhongzuo Institute, she was arranged by Lin Dezhong to Shen Yanqi, still leading the soldiers' salaries, but doing the work of helping to take care of the wounded, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

With the care of Guangzhou Yiyong and the patrol standard camp, Nie Yiniang is also a "high-income person" among the people in Guangzhou, Lin Dezhong said that when her brother-in-law becomes a Ding next year, she will enter the patrol standard camp to fill her shortage, she is still working in the injury center, so that life will be better.

However, a "crazy" woman like her, I'm afraid I don't want to think about remarrying. And for her, she has never thought about remarrying, and it may not be necessary to keep it for a lifetime, the folk customs of Guangzhou are not as conservative as those in the inland, but at least when the two brothers-in-law grow up, watching them marry their daughters-in-law, her in-laws have hope for what will happen later, otherwise she can't put her mind at ease.

After the first battle of the patrol standard battalion, the left city guard did not go to battle with the army again, and every day was nothing more than training, at most it served as the task of the center and left city guard. There is no need to go on the expedition, Xiu Mu is relatively normal, Feng San and Liu Rong came to Nie Yiniang's house with the wine bought in the city and some meat to drink. Other appetizers Nie Yiniang has already prepared, and her brother-in-law, who is about to become a ding, is also used for contact and affection. The four of them set up a table in the courtyard, drank and chatted, anyway, she didn't care what those old-fashioned people thought of her, but she was so happy with the robes who had lived and died together. So much so that sometimes she is suspicious that she should actually be a boy when she is reincarnated.

Feng San drank a lot of alcohol, and so did Liu Rong, talking about the old things when he was in Guangzhou last year, the latter had discriminated against Nie Yiniang's gender, and the three of them laughed, but the brother-in-law seemed a little restrained.

"Brother Liu, you said that Yiniang was a woman, you underestimated her, our sister is definitely the one who doesn't let her eyebrows. Today, brother, I can tell you that this drinking, our brothers can't look down on her like ......."

Hearing this, Liu Rong's eyes rolled, and he laughed and said, "Third Brother Feng, haven't you been poured down by Yiniang, right?" ”

There was another burst of laughter, which drew the attention of the neighbors. Speaking of which, Feng San was in Guangzhou back then, and he was also a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes, and he was nicknamed "Panyu Hero". On weekdays, I haven't done anything like charity, robbing the rich and helping the poor, but I have a straightforward temperament, and I don't have anything to say to my friends. It's because his temperament is too straight, and he is a little unexpectedly mixed in the circle, but he doesn't care much.

During this time, Liu Rong laughed at him, especially compared with a female streamer, he was already furious when he changed others. But his temperament has always been divided, Liu Rong and Nie Yiniang are both robes who have lived and died together, and they laughed wildly at the moment, but they are more heroic than the other three.

chatting about the old things in the past year, in the first battle of Guangzhou, Nie Yiniang stabbed Xu Long to death, and the two of them were also unlucky, but they were still convinced of Nie Yiniang's water nature; went to the standard camp training, endured hardships and suffered crimes, but fortunately, when they arrived at the city guard of Xiamen, the sweat that had been shed during those training was really as Lin Dezhong said, which made them shed a lot of blood.

"It's the little sister, I couldn't go to the city to kill the enemy with everyone at that time, it's a lifelong regret."

Soldiers, living and dying together, sometimes a lot of things become less important. This also includes gender differences.

"It's not bad for this, it's not bad for this, Yiniang, aren't you still in the city to help take care of our injured brother? Many of my brothers survived because of your sleepless care. ”

"That's it, and you're not the only one who didn't make it to the city. Don't talk about this, come, go one. ”

The more they drank, the more they drank, and soon they found that the wine brought by Feng San and Liu Rong was not enough. However, the three of them chatted excitedly, so they simply called the brother-in-law, who was already a little drunk, to buy two jars and come back, and they had to have fun.

The person who accompanied him left, and there was a little bit of wine left, Feng San and Liu Rong were not in a hurry to drink, and simply chatted with Nie Yiniang about the relocation of the Ordnance Bureau.

This matter has been decided, Chen Kai's successor Feng Chengshi has begun to complete the site selection, and is working on the construction of workshops, warehouses, official houses and other buildings. Feng San and Liu Rong's tone was very unfriendly about this matter, and the sentence "After this Weapons Bureau, the surname Feng will be borne" did not even shy away from his own surname.

It's not that they have a holiday with Feng Chengshi, it's just that the Ordnance Bureau has always been in charge of Chen Kai, and now that Chen Kai has left, wouldn't it be good to let that Great Governor make Chen Qi continue to be in charge, why bother to transfer a new one to join the army.

Zheng Chenggong is hard to say, after all, when he was in Guangzhou, Zheng Chenggong made a big effort, risked entrusting a large number of ships to Chen Kai's hands, and faced Zheng Cai alone, so many people could survive in Guangzhou City. Otherwise, even if Guangzhou Siwei is tenacious, it will not be able to be transported without so many ships. But for Feng Chengshi, it doesn't seem to be a figure who is willing to follow Cao Cao at all, and he will move the place not long after he takes over, making it clear that he is using this matter to eliminate Chen Kai's influence and establish his dominant position at the same time.

In this regard, Nie Yiniang has also heard of it, many people in the city have taken the job of working there, and many people are still very happy to be able to support their families. But there are still very few people who really think of this, and she is one of them, but she is the most powerless one. On the contrary, Feng San and Liu Rong, when they talked to her, they were just venting with a trustworthy brother.

"Speaking of which, Chen is still not in the army. If Chen Senjun is still here, who can take his place? ”

Nie Yiniang said that, Feng San and Liu Rong also nodded and agreed. It's just that this momentum has started, and many things will be difficult to say later, and the greater worry will infect their hearts with Liu Rong's brows.

"Now that Feng joined the army and took over the Ordnance Bureau, who knows if that guy will take over the official position of the Zhangquan Branch Patrol Road in the future......"

"Phew!"

Hearing this, Feng San spit on the ground with a mouthful of spittle, and then shouted: "Chen Senjun has made so many contributions, just because of that birdman, my surname Feng is the first to disagree!" ”

"Be quiet, it's still a matter of maybe."

is not as good as Feng San's "hero" status, nor is it as good as Nie Yiniang, who was originally just a fisherman's girl, Liu Rong is still a temporary worker in the yamen, but his idleness is really not on the stage, it is just a mess. But in terms of being a man and doing things, thanks to the training of the original job, he is more meticulous than others, and he is the most mixed one in the standard camp.

"Who knows, Daming's current official position is worthless."

I have to say, this is really a problem. The three of them sighed, but there was nothing they could do, especially after Nie Yiniang's brother-in-law came back, they never mentioned these things again, just drank wine, ate food, and chatted about some interesting things in the past, and this gathering was over.

The wine was sad, and when Feng San and Liu Rong left, their footsteps were a little shaky. Nie Yiniang was okay, she drank no less wine than them, so she still asked her brother-in-law to go back to sleep and clean up the mess in the yard by herself. However, the busyness in her hands did not stop, and the feeling in her heart was even worse, until later, she put down the work in her hand and looked at the west for a long time, which is said to be the direction in which Chen Kai entered the court.

"I'm just an inconspicuous little woman, and I'm still a widow, maybe you can't remember who I am, let alone think of me from afar."

Sighing, Nie Yiniang couldn't help but feel a little gloomy, but she still couldn't help but think about it-perhaps, Zheng Chenggong could arouse Chen Kai's return. Also, Chen Kai's wife who has not passed through the door, they should also miss each other from time to time.

Thinking of this, sleepiness welled up in my heart, and it was rare to get drunk.
