When Li Dingguo found out that something was wrong, it was already too late, at least the night attack on Madam Xing's camp, with the worst result in his consideration, thousands of people rushed into the barracks, even if you used the goods from the imperial capital to give them a cruel blow, but it did not prevent them from fighting into a pot of porridge, don't think about moving in the morning!

But listening to the description, it seems that on the periphery, a very thin and difficult to see fence protects the barracks and buys time, and the troops that line up do not give the attacking enemy any chance, the biggest problem of the rabble is that they are a group of rabble, and when there are interests and benefits, they all move forward bravely, but now when they need to fight hard, they ......

Anyway, while the whole team was carrying all kinds of good things on the ship to fight Nanjing, as well as the captured money, it went down the river from Anqing, although there were still a few cities, but they could no longer threaten the direct entry of Zhang Zuo's coalition army to Nanjing City!

But now, a mile away, the soldiers were kept in the shade of a tree in a skirmish line, which could both prevent the impact and strike at any time, and each of them had the firearm that could shoot more than five hundred paces, and who would deal with the enemy when everyone was scrambling to get on board first, and when there were countless baggage?

If there are any characteristics of the army trained by the elders, then hypocrisy and love of hygiene are the biggest changes.

After repeated repeated education on bacterial mortality and hygiene, the concept of situations that may lead to death and the idea of washing hands before eating and after using the toilet has basically taken root in people's minds.

And for the corpses outside the barracks, they naturally began their work of cleaning up the battlefield.

The main work of cleaning up the battlefield is naturally done by the poor among the refugees, some of the rich people are sad about the pain of being taken away half of their wealth before, and the miser's personality also makes them very interested in working to make a profit.

The specific work is also very simple, the sentry team that still remains in the barracks for repair will first check one by one, whether the dead bodies are pretending to be dead or still rescued, and those dangerous weapons will be collected first.

Those laborers are all gathered, first take out the things on their bodies, at least hand them over to their families, and then basically they are shirtless, come to clean up, and give a catty of rice to a corpse, which is like heaven for the men who need to flee, of course, the things collected cannot be hidden.

Liu Weiguo remembered the elder who named him, and said the knowledge of various bacteria, and felt that since he was separated from his father and his mother died in his life, the smartest thing was to buy this mask, at least now he is much more at ease, and he dares to get a little closer to those dead bodies.

Liu Weiguo remembered his past, he didn't remember much about where he came from, but he was probably from Henan, and he only remembered his surname Liu, but he only had a dog's nickname.

This kind of life path naturally has no destination, I don't know where to go, but others walk in front, it seems that there is a way to live, and I will follow behind.

This road is not too peaceful, in a place where the government has lost order, the law of the jungle has become the king, a family of three walked tightly, Liu Weiguo forgot how he was separated from his father, the left was just someone robbed, someone died, and then the team was in chaos, but for the robbers, as long as the others did not grab themselves, they also walked forward with their heads bowed, and they had nothing to do with themselves.

But that mess seemed to be not small, and when he escaped with his mother, he found that his father was gone.

When they found the night, they had to give up the search and go to the south by themselves, and there was water and the great lord, who loved to buy servants when he was famine, and there was food there.

But soon, one night, someone who appeared out of nowhere arrested the mother, and in that cold night, I could only hear the mother shouting, son, run, run.

Liu Weiguo ran away, far away, and when he came back to his senses and wanted to go back to find his mother, he couldn't find any traces.

Before, the mother hid a piece of cake on Liu Weiguo's body, the origin of the cake is also very strange, she asked Liu Weiguo to stand under a tree, not allowed to move, if someone appeared, shout, and then followed a dirty, old bearded man into a woods, and after a long time, the mother limped back, stuffed the cake into his arms, and told him to hide it, and not to eat it until he was hungry.

Relying on this cake, as well as stealing and picking the fruits on the tree, Liu Weiguo survived to the Yangtze River, which was a big piece of water, and he heard those people say that this is Yangzhou.

Yangzhou is really a good place, the master came to pick up troops, and naturally chose the most daring young man, naturally no one paid attention to Li Weiguo, such a thin boy, or he knelt and begged for death, and finally relied on Gao Jie's military camp.

The food in the barracks is not good, but although there are too many impurities, it can already provide hot food.

Liu Weiguo buried himself in work, working from the early days to resting at night every day, such days almost made him dark, but at least he had a full meal, and the master was born at the bottom, and he was also blackmailed by all kinds of blackmail to Yangzhou where he was stationed, and the benefits were great, and he could occasionally eat meat, which was also a surprise.

However, the good times did not last long, the master seemed to be going to fight someone, but he was killed, he was in the old camp, and was working hard with a few old men to chop wood, ready to cook for the soldiers, suddenly there were countless cries, followed the eldest lady to cry out, but ordered them to follow the old camp to serve the laborers also follow him, someone stuffed him with a somewhat rusty knife, and then followed.

In the following days, Liu Weiguo didn't know where he was, anyway, he just followed everywhere, and occasionally he couldn't eat, and after a few days, the instructor appeared.

The instructors are all very tall, but very kind, first each of them was given a piece of soap, let them wash their bodies, and then shave everyone's hair into baldness, it is really comfortable, what lice have been caught, although some people who shave their heads refuse, but since the master lady has spoken, it is natural to do so.

However, after shaving their heads, they were given a new set of clothes, followed by many tools that they did not know the purpose of, and the meal they ate afterwards was unimaginable, each person had a small fish, an egg, three white steamed buns, and a large pot of soup.

And Liu Weiguo's name was also given, "Liu Gouzi? I don't know how old it is, I look like there are sixteen or seventeen, so let's call it Liu Weiguo. ”

The elders didn't care about enhancing Madam Xing's strength, after all, the other party had achieved the limit of a warlord's refuge and sent his sons to the imperial capital, this kind of allegiance was almost unanimously affirmed by the elders, thinking that it could set a benchmark and an advertisement, so it was completely efficient to arm Madam Xing.

Whether it is a light mortar or a rifle, it can be supplied, at most under the banner of transportation, the ammunition is controlled, some instructors are appointed to accompany the army for training, and the military power is still on Mrs. Xing, as long as Gao Aiguo is still reading every day in the imperial capital: "I am a Chinese, our task is to plant the Chinese flag all over the world!" "Then the elders don't care if this force gets out of control.

Therefore, for the team left by Gao Jie, the elders mainly focus on reorganization, elimination and retention, and firearms, and have been relying on Jiangbei for training, and can appear in the north of the Yangtze River at any time, giving a great shock to the scholars in Jiangnan.

And the training of the troops did not carry out any infiltration, but tried their best to let Mrs. Xing continue to master this unit, and its cohesion and centripetal force are improving.

Liu Weiguo grew up gradually under this background, compared to the thin ones who grew up under long-term malnutrition, the various nutrition bars and lard distributed by the elders nourished these people fat and strong, and in terms of combat effectiveness, they didn't need to go to any big monsters, they were nothing more than existing enemies.

Li Dingguo also has a cannon, but the cannon is on the ship, and Anqing City also has a cannon, but it is mainly to guard against Mrs. Xing or the thieves in the imperial capital from the north, although more and more voices have recently shown that the imperial capital has the transportation capacity to radiate the entire Yangtze River from the mouth of the Yangtze River, but in the Ming Dynasty, the literati counted incompetently one by one, but they thought very highly of themselves.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the complete degeneration of the literati and doctors, and the rapid decline of the moral and capable waste, can be said to be just like the response to their lack of intelligence in the old time and space, and the elders felt that they were all stupid strategies in the new time.

If it's from God's perspective, of course it's stupid, but if you substitute these scholars, it's very simple.

They can't see the fact that the center of gravity of the world economy is gradually moving towards the New World under the great geographical discoveries of the future.

They can't see that under the future industrial revolution, the output of industrial countries in ten years can be compared with the past few thousand years!

They do not see that there is any other knowledge in the world than Confucianism, which is everywhere preaching brainwashing and creating the legitimacy of landlord exploitation.

The decay of this class is shocking, and if it is not to take out the basics, it is the time when the heavens are shocked and kneeling down to ask for the lord.

The elders' minds are very simple, you are not willing to burn the Four Books and the Five Classics, and you are not willing to die, which makes me very embarrassed.

Therefore, although Mrs. Xing had already received the news that Zhang Xianzhong and Zuo Liangyu were secretly colluding, (the news of Zuo Liangyu's death had not been confirmed at that time) was ready to go south to directly raid Nanjing, but she was asked to observe nearby, grasp the situation, and not take the initiative to attack, of course, it is okay to take the opportunity to get some benefits.

Li Dingguo was in great pain.

With a company of 100 people, Mrs. Xing began to gradually move to the riverside after confirming that there was no ambush, and after the mortar movement was in place, she rushed at the long side with a cannon, although it did not hit their boat, but the roaring power it brought shocked everyone.

Anyway, Zuo Mengeng completely shrunk his eggs, and went directly to Jiangxin by boat, and at the same time ordered all his troops to start boarding the boat and go directly to Nanjing downstream.

No matter how crazy Li Dingguo shouts, even if I am the first to the palace, you can answer me.

In fact, Li Dingguo's side also has a lot of artillery, and the cannon captured in Anqing City before was itself in the north of the city, so although the people were forced to start transferring to the river after the city was broken, there was no time overnight.

In the same way, how could the grain transported in the granary warehouse in the city get on the ship so quickly, in fact, Li Dingguo's trip was really the idea of taking grain from the enemy, which is an advantage over others, because ......

In short, as the troops continue to advance, Li Dingguo's pressure is also very great, and Zuo Mengeng, a pig teammate, also shows an unreliable appearance, the reason why Ya did not run out of sight is that he is afraid that the army will mutiny after leaving, and now he is constantly raising flags on the ship, ordering his subordinates to get on the ship and run away.

This caused an impact and obstacles to Li Dingguo's people, which made him very annoyed, but it was also inappropriate to rush out and fight with Mrs. Xing, according to his own deduction, a head-on attack on the plains and any of the Elder's armed troops was to seek death, and the best way was to attack it and save it, force it to travel a long distance, and then attack it halfway in a dangerous place, but the elders' patience was so good that they didn't do it at all, which made this idea come to naught.

And Mrs. Xing's side of the fast-moving small cannons also made him very frightened, now stalemate, Li Dingguo can't be so sure that Mrs. Xing will not attack in the next moment, if so, it will be almost a disaster, in fact, those rifles can cause not much damage, but he has experienced many major battles, and knows that once it causes panic and camping, then his own people who are trampled to death by his own people must be several times the death of the enemy, this is the helplessness of the old-style army.

In order to alleviate the financial crisis, the Ming Dynasty government also laid off a large number of civil servants to reduce expenditures, and among them, including Li Zicheng, who had managed the post station, Li Zicheng, who was unemployed, and others, did not hesitate to become a rogue who wandered throughout the Central Plains together with the desperate peasants.

On the surface, the financial predicament of the Ming Dynasty seems to be incurable, but in fact, most of the social resources of the Ming Dynasty have not been mobilized, and the official gentry and the Ming clan who really possess the resources at the end of the Ming Dynasty have huge wealth, but they have not contributed to the imperial court. In the face of the negative attitude of the official gentry and the Zhu clan, the Ming emperor also chose to do nothing, and just let his finances collapse.

In this case, the army of the Ming Dynasty collapsed, and the grassroots civil servants Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were among the representatives, and they all "became thieves".

Therefore, although it is an anti-thief, the Great Western Army really has the genes of our Ming Dynasty, among which rape and plunder can still be controlled, but the command of the grassroots team has to still learn from the good example of the Ming Dynasty.

So once it collapses, it's a snowballing collapse.

Li Dingguo had no choice but to order people to go over again, hoping to reach a compromise, and at the same time try to maintain order for his troops as much as possible, as for Zuo Menggeng's people, he couldn't control it anyway.
