Zhang Jiuye and the others returned to Shark Island by warship overnight, and they had to work overtime to debug the bamboo tube flowering bomb.

At this time, the main battle formation of the Ming army in the north of Ningyuan City also came with reliable news.

Early tomorrow morning, that is, on July 27, the 14th year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Hong Chengchou will take the oath in the Beida camp campus in Ningyuan City!

On the side of the camp tent in the Green Snake Forest, Xu Changqing leaned on the camp tent, looking at the deep and lonely night sky, and couldn't help but let out a long breath!

"It's finally here...!"

In the past two months of rebirth, although Xu Changqing has made a lot of preparations, and at this time, he can be regarded as having some identity and discourse power, and has a certain amount of accumulation, but in the face of this rolling torrent of general trends, he is still too small and insignificant......

However, with the arrival of this node, the biggest cloud that had been suppressed in Xu Changqing's heart gradually began to dissipate, and the feeling of depression and tension began to ease!

The road is walked out by people!

It's not about thinking, worrying, or being scared, but you can worry about it!

It's reached this point, there is no choice, why the hell do you have time to think so much, it's done!

Xu Changqing also wanted to take a good look at the martial arts of the real Manchurian Eight Banners, to what extent!

…

This night, Xu Changqing actually slept very soundly.

In the early morning, when Xu Changqing got up, the more than 600 young men who had been busy for more than a day and two nights had already loaded all the supplies on the side of the Green Snake Forest onto the four warships, and they were all sitting on the beach resting with sweat and rain, looking at a few cooks not far away cooking breakfast with drooling eyes, and whispering and laughing from time to time.

Xu Changqing had just finished washing, and Zhao Zengjin came over to inform Xu Changqing that the materials had been loaded.

Xu Changqing had already noticed the movements of this group of young men, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a crooked smile, "Let's go, increase the gold, let's go and have breakfast with the brothers." ”

"Huh? Good. ”

Zhao Zengjin was stunned for a moment, but he also came back to his senses, and hurriedly followed Xu Changqing.

The intensity of life in the past few days is a bit too great, even a fierce man like Zhao Zengjin is a little unbearable for a while.

Last night he was busy until midnight without talking, and he got up early this morning, and he was already hungry with his chest against his back.

"General."

"General......

Seeing Xu Changqing coming, how dare these young men slack off? Hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed one by one, and greeted Xu Changqing respectfully.

At this time, Xu Changqing's reputation is like the sun in the sky, these young and strong people are almost always guided by all kinds of surroundings, and at this time, many people's goals are to become soldiers, follow Xu Changqing to kill Tartars, get promoted and make a fortune, support his wife and children, and even glorify his ancestors.

Xu Changqing seemed to be familiar with this, and he came to these young men without the slightest severance, patted this shoulder, rubbed the hair, and soon mingled with these young men, beckoning the cooks over there to speed up.

Soon, with the fresh fish balls, steamed buns, salted fish, and fresh fish soup coming up, the atmosphere of the whole camp suddenly reached a climax.

There was the sound of gobbling up everywhere, and sometimes there was a hearty laugh.

Ordinary people in Daming generally only have two meals.

One meal in the morning and one meal in the evening.

Even for many wealthy families, at most it is a late night snack.

How could they, who are bitter, have ever thought that at this time, not only can they have three meals a day, morning, noon and dinner, but they can basically eat all three meals.

Especially when there is meat and steamed buns, this is simply the old wealth of the landlord, no, this is simply a fairy-like day.

And their general Xu Changqing is not the slightest special, and the food is the same as them.

How can these young people not be excited and happy?

To be able to meet a good official like a general who loves the people like a son and can also lead everyone to really kill the Tartars, it is really a blessing that they have only cultivated in eight lifetimes.

After eating breakfast and resting for a while, Xu Changqing stood up from the comfortable crowd, his face gradually becoming solemn.

Suddenly, the originally lively camp quickly quieted down, and no one dared to say a word more!

Even though these young men have not been systematically trained, every ten, dozen, or dozens of them are led by old auxiliaries.

And around this old auxiliary, there are many soldiers, including Xu Changqing's personal guards and family slaves and many veterans in the first batch.

Under this kind of subtlety, they basically formed a conditioned reflex to Xu Changqing's military order.

In addition, Xu Changqing's majesty is getting worse and worse, and his aura is getting stronger and stronger, shocking the scene at this time, but it is just a piece of cake.

"Brethren, you are all good! It would have taken three or even five days to transport so many materials, but it only took you one day and two nights, and you have already finished transporting them almost endlessly! You are the pride of my Xu Changqing! ”

"General, it's really an honor to be able to serve you."

"General, thank you, without you and our family, I'm afraid I would have starved to death......"

"General's Benevolence ......"

"The general is benevolent!"

As Xu Changqing was full of proud affirmation, the crowd was boiling again.

Xu Changqing smiled and nodded, signaling everyone to be quiet: "But, brothers, our good life was built on the fact that the soldiers in front of us used their blood and flesh to defend our homeland!"

I have received accurate information, this morning, Hong Du will be sworn in the North School Field! At this time, more than a dozen elite troops and hundreds of thousands of troops around Ningyuan are about to leave for the Jinzhou front!

I, Xu Changqing, will also go on the expedition immediately!

All of you present are all good sons of my Liaodi, but there are people who dare to go to the front line with me Xu Changqing, kill Tartars and make meritorious deeds, protect the family and defend the country, and glorify the ancestors? ! ”

"I am willing to die for the general!"

"Willing to die for the general......"

The crowd suddenly rolled, and 'bang-la-la' fell to their knees!

The smile on the corner of Xu Changqing's mouth couldn't help but get worse and worse.

Bathed in the soft sunshine of this seaside, under Xu Changqing's heroic might, there is a faint sense of fairy wind.

The two opposite temperaments are soft, not only are they not messy, but they make Xu Changqing more majestic and mysterious, like a god descending from heaven.

"Good!"

"Good!"

"Everyone is a good man, my Xu Changqing's brother, and my Xu Changqing's sibling! I won't say anything more! All the brothers who follow me Xu Changqing, I Xu Changqing will not live up! ”

"The general is mighty!"

"The general is mighty!"

"The General ...... Mighty"

"Very good, let's start assigning tasks now!"

"Yes!"

…

Soon, three medium-sized clippers were slightly overloaded and carrying more than 500 young men and returned to Shark Island.

In Shark Island, they will undergo one to two days of systematic training, mainly to obey orders, see and listen to the flag, and then, as an auxiliary soldier, with Xu Changqing, go to the front line.

Although this seems to be a little urgent, Xu Changqing has no choice.

Fortunately, these soldiers are basically from military households, and they all have a certain basic military literacy, as long as the big frame is propped up, the things behind will be much simpler.

At this time, all the work on the side of the Green Snake Forest was completed, including Pig's Trotter Island, and the strategic significance began to become secondary.

If it weren't for the fact that Pig's Trotter Island could still fish, it would have been abandoned.

And if Xu Changqing didn't go to participate in the Ning Yuan Oath, he could directly return to Shark Island at this time.

However, Ning Yuan's oath is definitely a scene that must not be missed in the military history of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the benchmark of bloodline!

Especially for a disciple of a general like Xu Changqing, who has a strong bloodline!

It must be known that in the era of the late Ming Dynasty, the entire Ming Dynasty can be said to be seventy percent or even more than eighty percent of the general soldiers, deputy generals and staff generals at all levels, all of whom have the experience of serving in the army in Liaodong!

You haven't killed Tartars in Liaodi, at least you are a general who has seen Tartars and seen the scene of killing Tartars, are you embarrassed to call yourself a 'war general' and can fight?

Go three in front and four in the back.

Take one step and look at three steps.

No matter from any point of view, Xu Changqing will not miss the super platform of Ningyuan's oath, the last glory of the Ming army in history!

Seeing the three clippers quickly disappear on the magnificent seashore, Xu Changqing's spirits were also lifted, and he beckoned Zhao Zengjin and the others: "Go!" ”

"Yes!"

Soon, more than two dozen war horses carrying more than a dozen sturdy figures quickly swept towards Ningyuan City!

…

At this time, although the scenery in Ningyuan City has not changed at all, the atmosphere is obviously different from yesterday!

There are fewer people.

Very little.

Yesterday, Xu Changqing walked in the city, there were many breakfast stalls, many people were eating when he went out of the city, and there were still many people eating when he returned to the city at noon.

But at this time, the traffic in front of the door is sparse, and you may not be able to see a single figure after turning a few streets.

After all, it's a military city.

Hong Chengchou's temperament, since he decided to swear an oath, he has already prepared for the big framework, and it is not surprising that the depression in the city is not surprising.

Passing through the southern city, all the way to the north, until it was almost close to the northern camp of Ningyuan City, Xu Changqing and his party saw the popularity.

This kind of thing must be grand and vigorous, and it must be a façade project that must be done well.

But at this time, there are a little too many troops around Ningyuan City, hundreds of thousands of troops, two or three hundred thousand people, how can Ningyuan City be pretended?

Not to mention, all the departments have basically begun to set off at this time, and they must still focus on the overall situation first, and those who come to swear at this time must only be the main general and personal guards.

As soon as he arrived at the North Campus, Xu Changqing saw Li Changyou and Liu Lang, who had been waiting here for a long time.

According to the rules, Xu Changqing was actually not qualified to come over to participate in the oath at this time.

Of course, Xu Changqing's official position is enough, and the guerrilla general who is serious and well-behaved will also be a proper senior officer at the division and brigade level in later generations, and it is definitely the skeleton officer series of the Ming Dynasty.

But Xu Changqing did not collect at night, and his duties were limited, so he should act ahead of the army at this time.

But Xu Changqing is obviously different from mortals!

In this regard, he has already dealt with Hong Chengchou and Zhang Ruoqi, coupled with Xu Changqing's fame and prestige at this time, as well as the foundation behind it, who would dare to openly get along with Xu Changqing and pick on him Xu Changqing's thorns?

Liu Lang didn't do a good job of the '10,000 enemies' yesterday, and today he deliberately took Li Changyou's side, wanting to accompany Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing naturally understood his careful thoughts, but at this time, how could Xu Changqing have time to pay attention to him?

After a few simple greetings and let him go to his busy business first, Xu Changqing, under the guidance of Li Changyou, entered the northern camp of Ningyuan City.

At this time, although it was less than the middle of the hour, less than eight o'clock, and there was still more than an hour before the oath of the oath, many people had already come to the camp in Beida.

Including Cao Bianjiao, Yang Guozhu, and Wang Pu, these big players have already arrived.

On the other side, Wu Sangui, Liu Zhaoji, Ma Ke and others have also arrived.

Of the dozen general soldiers, only two or three have not yet arrived.

And the high platform in the middle is also filled with a lot of bright red, quite festive and full of majesty, and many civil officials are directing people to work.

Xu Changqing will definitely not get to the position of the general soldiers at this time, he just wants to feel this atmosphere, go through this process, and witness this glory, how can something happen.

But Xu Changqing and his party were just about to find a corner to rest first, when a surprised voice suddenly came from not far away: "Brother Xu? ”

In a moment, a middle-aged man wearing a red civil official robe walked over with a dozen relatives and his face full of joy.

It is Shen Tingyang, the chief scoop of the Shachuan Gang and the scholar of the Guozi Prison!
