Section 7 Fierce Soldiers

The sound of horses' hooves came in an instant, and most of the cavalry who came over held torches and shook one by one. Everyone looked fixedly, only to see that the black pressure pressed over hundreds of horses, and when they were about to reach the Chu Wangtai, they scattered into a line and pressed over. When they came to the crowd, they stopped. But immediately everyone was wearing a uniform that was not the uniform of the horse soldiers!

It is implied in the book that the pair of cavalry worn by this pair of cavalry are actually the Ming Dynasty uniforms, but after more than 200 years, the soldiers of Wuchang City are not even recognized.

The two armies met, and I saw a young man in the middle of the cavalry team, dressed in red clothes, riding a white horse, and came out of the crowd.

"What kind of body are you like this! Don't know what you're here for? ”

All the soldiers were scolded by him, and they all stood up straight, and those who were sitting also stood up quietly.

But after all, there are still some bold people who ask loudly: "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”

Before the young man met these people, the discipline was lax, how could there be the slightest shadow of an elite soldier, his heart was angry, and after a few shouts, several horses jumped out, urging the horses to run in the crowd, and when he saw that there was no one standing, he whipped down.

The boy urged the horse to walk slowly in front of the team, and said sharply, "Who am I?" Back then, my ancestors, in order to overthrow Meng Yuan, once stationed here, this Chu Wangtai was also built by my ancestors, who do you say I am? ”

It turned out that the cavalry that rushed was Zhu Chongzhen and the elite of Hawaii Hongmen. When they heard the gunshots in the city, they dressed up neatly and came to Chuwangtai to gather for business according to their previous plan.

Who knew that when I arrived at Chuwangtai, I saw more than a thousand soldiers here, standing or sitting, gathering or scattering, it didn't look like they were going to fight a battle of life and death, but they came to do a drill to deal with errands. Fang Xinru was happy at that time. Miyamoto Yoshiying and Fang Xiaoru glared at him, Miyamoto Yoshio's face was angry, but the youngest Zhu Lin snorted coldly and scolded: "It should be killed." ”

Zhu Chongzhen came out of the crowd and purged discipline. He shouted to the crowd in a cold voice, "Who do you say I am? ”

In this soldier, there were many men who abandoned their pens and followed Rong, and when they heard Zhu Chongzhen's words, they immediately shouted in surprise: "You are the descendant of Emperor Hongwu and the descendant of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"Not bad!" Zhang Zhenwu came out of the crowd and loudly introduced to everyone: "This son, the big Zhu Chongzhen, he is not only a descendant of my Han Ming Zhu family, but also the king of Maui who is personally crowned by the Queen of Hawaii in the United States. Ladies and gentlemen, everyone has heard of the Hawaii Incident back then, it was Zhu Gongzi and Chen Ping who took us Han people to do it! Today, he also brought the elite of Hawaii to Wuchang to work with us to drive out the Tartars and restore China! ”

Although Zhang Zhenwu was not in the army, he had been running the revolution for several years, and his speech and demeanor poured over the three towns of Wuhan, and he was known as a prestige among the people. The things in Hawaii were spread in the country, and it was said that Chen Ping had three heads and six arms, and the Hongmen elite in Hawaii was all blue-faced and fanged, and his martial arts were extraordinary. They led the Han Chinese in Hawaii to overthrow the rule of the United States, and they really fought for China. Although only a few hundred people came to ride tonight, the momentum when they came was simply a thousand troops! Looking at the motionless cavalry around, everyone's confidence suddenly rose to a full canopy, and they all felt that tonight's events would definitely succeed!

Zhu Chongzhen stepped forward immediately, looked at the people below, looked at it, and saw that Cai Jimin, Xiong Bingkun and others were all standing among the soldiers at this time, and even Wu Zhaolin, who was not a member of the party, was standing on the side with his head held high, but he didn't see Deng Yulin of the Nanhu Artillery Team.

"Wu Zhaolin! Xiong Bingkun! Cai Jimin! Ma Rong! Ma Mingxi! Zhu Chongzhen shouted coldly.

"Here!" The five of them responded.

"Purge the team, and each still line up!"

"Obey!"

The Chu-E New Army was single-handedly transferred by Zhang Zhidong, who had repeatedly defeated the Beiyang New Army in the past exercises, and it could be called the elite division of China at that time. At this moment, everyone is united, and after a while, the team is neat and energetic. The young men in the back looked over, nodded, and said in their hearts, the eldest brother said that the reason why he chose Wuchang was because the Hubei army was capable and capable of fighting. At the moment, it seems that it is indeed true!

Zhu Chongzhen saw that everyone's morale was gradually rising, and knew that this was the right time, he rode on a horse, patrolling everyone back and forth, and suddenly asked loudly:

"Why are we gathered here tonight?"

"For the revolution!" The soldiers replied in unison.

"Why do we want a revolution?" Zhu Chongzhen continued to ask.

You look at me, I look at you, but I don't know how to answer. At this time, Xiong Bingkun replied loudly: "Because the Manchu Qing Dynasty has no way!" ”

Zhu Chongzhen nodded and said loudly: "Yes, it's because the Manchu Qing Dynasty has no way!" Why do we want to revolution? Because the Manchus did not treat us Han people as human beings, they treated us as slaves, slaves! Not only when we are slaves and slaves, but also when we are slaves, but also when we are slaves, from generation to generation! Even when we die, the whole man will point to our bones and say to the world, "Look, this is a slave!" Are you willing to be slaves? ”

"We don't want to!" The soldiers below are impassioned!

"Do you want your children and grandchildren to be slaves of the Manchus?" Zhu Chongzhen asked loudly.

"We don't want to!" The blood of the soldiers below is surging, and they are all very excited!

Zhu Chongzhen raised his whip, pointed to the Chu Wangtai in front of him and said: "Five hundred years ago, my ancestor of the Zhu family, Emperor Hongwu, led us Han people here, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and expelled the Meng Yuan. Today, I, Zhu Chongzhen, lead you to embark on this road, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, the expulsion of the Manchus, and the restoration of my Han family's rivers and mountains! ”

"Do you have the guts to follow me?"

"Yes!" Thunder!

"Fang Xiaoru!" Zhu Chongzhen didn't look back and shouted loudly.

Fang Xiaoru stepped forward, opened a scroll, and read aloud:

"The Manchu Tartars, killed my compatriots, humiliated my nation, mourned my rivers and mountains, destroyed my classics, and committed all kinds of atrocities. As the old saying goes, although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu! The boy of the Han family, the heroes of Hubei and Chu, gather together today, vow to drive the Manchu Qing Dynasty and restore my China! ”

"Swear to drive the Manchu Qing Dynasty and restore my China!" Zhu Chongzhen rode hundreds behind him and shouted loudly. The momentum is fierce and the sound is intimidating.

The more than 1,000 new officers and soldiers on the Chuwang Tower, where have they seen the battle of such an elite division, at this moment, their hearts are full of enthusiasm, and they also shouted in unison:

"Swear to drive the Manchu Qing Dynasty and restore my China!"

Zhu Chongzhen whipped his horse and said in a fierce voice: "The way of heaven is good, and China has a reason to apply; The hearts of the people are obedient, and the husband will take revenge! Tonight is the first battle of my Chinese rejuvenation, and all my sons and daughters must obey the order and strive to be the first! ”

"Obey King Zhu's orders!" The soldiers of the battalion shouted in unison.

"Wu Zhaolin, Xiong Bingkun, Jiang Fangzhen!"

Wu Xiong and the others came out in line, and there was also a person behind Zhu Chongzhen who turned over and dismounted, standing side by side with Wu Xiong.

"Order the three of you to be the commander-in-chief, and be responsible for the overall command in Chuwangtai!"

"Obey!"

"Jin Zhaolong, Miyamoto Yoshiei!"

Jin Zhaolong also came out of the crowd, and Miyamoto Yoshiei also turned over and dismounted.

"Order the two of you to lead a team of men and horses to Zhonghe Gate to meet the Nanhu artillery team! Within three quarters of an hour, bring the Nanhu artillery team to Chuwangtai! ”

"Obey!"

"Ma Rong, Fang Xinru!"

"In!"

"Order the two of you to take a team of men and horses, go to the armory to select artillery, set it up on the high place of Chuwang Tower and Snake Mountain, and when you see the fire in the city, you will fire a heavy attack."

"Obey!"

"Ma Mingxi, Yoshio Miyamoto!"

"In!"

"Order the two of you to lead a team of men and horses to guard the Chu Lookout Tower!"

"Obey!"

"Cai Jimin, Fang Xiaoru!"

"In!"

"You two and I, each with a team of men, will attack the superintendent in three ways, and if they are blocked, they will light a fire to remember and send the artillery team to bombard!"

"Obey!"

"Tonight's password is set as 'driving the full' and 'Xinghan'!"

Zhu Chongzhen issued the orders one by one, looked at the excited faces under the firelight, urged the horse forward, raised his right arm, pointed the horsewhip to the sky, and said in a fierce voice: "Ninety-nine with a steel knife in your hand, kill all the Tartars!" Tonight, the battle is successful, Wuchang is recovered, and after dawn, I will drink the wine of celebration with everyone! ”

The people agreed with a bang, and each one did as he was told, and went bravely. Zhu Chongzhen said to Jiang Fangzhen, who was in charge of commanding: "Brother Baili, I'm going to bother you this time!" ”

Jiang Fangzhen smiled and said, "Childe is polite." Contributing to the country and the nation is Baili's lifelong wish. ”

Zhu Chongzhen nodded, turned his head and said to Wu Zhaolin and Xiong Bingkun: "Tonight's matter, the number of success or failure is not yet clear, there will definitely be revolutionary soldiers to vote for a while, you two don't rush to use it, you must make up a full team, and then give the Qing soldiers a fatal blow!" ”

Xiong Bingkun nodded and said, "Childe, but please rest assured!" ”

Zhu Chongzhen laughed, turned around and led everyone, and it seemed that he could go to fight Ma Fei.

That Wu Zhaolin, who was originally the officer of the left team of the Eighth Battalion of the Engineering, when Xiong Bingkun brought people to seize the Chu Wangtai, although he did not stop Ma Rong from attaching righteousness, he did not want to participate. took advantage of the chaos to hide in the grass, and when everyone didn't care, he slipped away quietly. But when he heard the sound of horses' hooves and saw Zhu Chongzhen in front of the prancing horse army, he was fierce, and he felt that the villain in his heart was really a little unbearable. He is a Chinese son, a dignified man. Like a woman, hiding in the grass, surviving, how to meet the villagers in the future, how to have the face to meet them? Thinking like this, he turned his heart sideways, stood up, and strode into the midst of the righteous soldiers.

Unexpectedly, this Zhu Chongzhen didn't mind that he was not a party member at all, and actually delegated the power of commanding the whole army to his hands. Wu Zhaolin was moved, but also admired, and knew the weight of the burden on his shoulders tonight. He and Jiang Xiong climbed to the top of the Chu Wangtai and commanded. I saw countless torches in the distance, connected into several fire dragons, each shaking their heads and tails, roaring and shouting, hitting the various points of Wuchang City, the gunshots first rang out sporadically, and then they sounded like popping beans, and later, they couldn't tell where the guns rang out, and they couldn't tell when the guns rang out, they were ringing everywhere, all the time, and the battle was obviously fierce.

Looking at Wuchang City at his feet, Wu Zhaolin suddenly felt that this familiar Wuchang City was so in love with him, so that he was willing to dedicate his life and blood to her.

Wu Zhaolin felt a little sour and hot in his heart, and couldn't help but shed a few tears in his eyes. He took a long breath, calmed down, and shouted loudly in his heart to the endless void:

"Give this Chinese people a new tomorrow!"
