Chapter VII Township Soldiers

"Fuck me up! After a while, Lord Futai will review the battalion soldiers and township soldiers, we don't expect you to be the same as the battalion soldiers, but don't be crooked like a girl. We can't afford to lose that person! ”

Qin Gongming walked briskly past the rows of villagers and scolded sharply.

As the chief soldier of the two Huai regiments, Qin Gongming is still very prestigious among these township soldiers.

was scolded by him, and these villagers drooped their heads like frosted eggplants, not daring to look at him.

Seeing this scene, Qin Gongming sighed in his heart.

Of course, he understood that he couldn't ask too much of these villagers, after all, these people were just farmers wielding hoes in the fields half a year ago, and they were able to assemble an army in a short period of time, and it was good to know the basic orders.

But now that the Ming Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, it has broken through the siege of Shenjing, and the eastern captives covet Shanhaiguan, and there is no time for them to train slowly.

If the traitor Tartar really kills Huai'an, these village soldiers will pick up the blades in their hands to protect themselves and their families.

"Donkey Ball!"

Qin Gongming scolded and continued to walk forward.

The huge new city is full of village soldiers at this moment, like a big school field.

It's just that the appearance of this army is really not very good, the village soldiers are wearing all kinds of clothes, holding wooden sticks and hoes in their hands, and only a few have knives in their hands.

"The Governor has arrived!"

Qin Gongming was stunned when he heard the announcement, and then reacted and walked quickly towards the camp gate.

Before he reached the camp gate, Governor Lu Zhenfei came to Qin Gongming surrounded by a group of personal soldiers.

Qin Gongming wanted to kneel and bow, but Lu Zhenfei hurriedly helped him up, and said with a smile: "Yuan Yi doesn't need to be polite, this official came to see how the township soldiers are trained." ”

Qin Gongming's face immediately showed a look of shame, and he sighed and said: "The lower officials are ashamed of the trust of Lord Futai, these donkey balls are not focused on training, and now they can barely put an array out." ”

Lu Zhenfei coughed, waved his hand and said, "Training the army is not a day's work, take your time." ”

Qin Gongming hurriedly welcomed Lu Zhenfei to the first school stage to give a lecture, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of a young man in brocade clothes standing next to Lu Zhenfei.

The boy looked very angry. Qin Gongming and Lu Zhenfei are also old acquaintances, but they have never seen each other.

He couldn't help but be puzzled, lowered his voice and asked, "Dare to ask Futai, who is this son?" ”

Lu Zhenfei's face changed, and he looked at Zhu Cihong, Zhu Cihong nodded lightly, and then he said softly: "This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Daming." ”

His voice was extremely low, so except for Qin Gongming on the side, almost no one could hear it.

Qin Gongming's expression froze, and then he was about to kneel down and salute.

Lu Zhenfei hurriedly held him up.

"His Highness doesn't want too many people to know that he is in Huai'an."

Qin Gongming nodded, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his mood.

How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly appear in Huai'an? Isn't Shenjing surrounded by thieves now?

A series of questions appeared in Qin Gongming's mind, but he also knew that now was not the time to ask, so he respectfully lowered his hands and stood aside.

Zhu Cihong stood on the school platform and squinted slightly, observing the 20,000 township soldiers.

In his opinion, although these township soldiers are not in order, they can at least be regarded as soldiers, which are better than those military households in the late Ming Dynasty.

He was still a little disappointed. Originally, he wanted to take over the 20,000 village soldiers and serve as his own guards. But now it seems that even if they take over this country soldier, they must be strictly trained. Otherwise, such an army will collapse at the touch of a button when it goes to the battlefield.

Governor Lu said some words of encouragement, and then left the township army camp with Zhu Cihong and Qin Gongming and went to the Xincheng General Military Bureau.

Most of Huai'an's official offices are in the old city, but only the official office of this regiment training general soldier is located in the new city.

Governor Lu also simply waved his hand and placed all 20,000 township soldiers in Xincheng. In this Huai'an New Town, in addition to the 20,000 villagers, there are only a few dozens of merchants, and there are no other households.

Huai'an New City is more like a fortress, but the scale is much larger.

The official office of the regimental training chief soldier is a three-entry courtyard, which is not too big.

The outer courtyard where he entered was Qin Gongming's office, and when he entered the hall, Zhu Cihong naturally walked to the top and sat down.

Seeing that Lu Zhenfei and Qin Gongming were still standing, Zhu Cihong smiled slightly: "Governor Lu, General Qin sit down quickly, Gu still has important matters to discuss with you." ”

Lu Zhenfei and Qin Gongming glanced at each other, and then they each sat down at the bottom, but the buttocks only sat on a small half, and most of them were suspended, which is not an exaggeration to describe it as trembling.

Zhu Cihong took a sip of the teacup and said in an extremely warm voice: "It is the blessing of the society that Haoyue Gong and General Qin trained such a village soldier. ”

Qin Gongming's face immediately turned red, and he said ashamedly: "Your Highness has praised it. These donkey balls can only barely defend the city now, and it is not possible to ask them to go into battle to kill the enemy. ”

Zhu Cihong had heard Lu Zhenfei mention this Qin Yuanyi before, and seeing the heroism of this life, there was a faint style of a general, so he asked more: "What does General Qin think they can be trained to go into battle to kill the enemy?" ”

Qin Gongming said without hesitation: "Naturally, it is like training into the Sichuan army. ”

Sichuan Army......

Zhu Cihong's heart moved. He is a professor of Ming history, so he naturally knows the weight of the word Sichuan Army.

If the combat effectiveness of the army at the end of the Ming Dynasty is ranked, the Zhejiang soldiers trained by the Sichuan Army and Qi Jiguang can be ranked in the top two, and the third is the Tianxiong Army led by Lu Xiangsheng. The rest of the army, except for the Qin soldiers, had a little combat power, but their combat effectiveness was really limited.

This Qin Yuanyi is also surnamed Qin, could it be that he is also a general of the Sichuan army?

"Does General Qin know Madam Qin's method of military training?"

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the three words of Mrs. Qin were mentioned, it was naturally Qin Liangyu.

I saw Qin Gongming patting his chest and saying, "Mrs. Qin is the minister's aunt." ”

Zhu Cihong was stunned.

He knew that Qin Liangyu had two elder brothers and a younger brother. Qin Liangyu's brothers, Qin Bangping and Qin Banghan, were all killed in the bloody battle of the Hunhe River in the first year of the Apocalypse. And Qin Liangyu's younger brother Qin Minping also died in the battle in the fourth year of the Apocalypse to quell the "Extravagant Rebellion", which can be described as a loyal martyr.

As for Qin Liangyu's nephews, Zhu Cihong knows Qin Yiming, Qin Gongming, Qin Zuoming, and Qin Zuoming. Qin Yiming and Qin Gongming are both Qin Bangping's sons. Among them, Qin Yiming was the official to the general army, and he was named Wei Yuanbo, and in the original history, he was reduced to the Qing Dynasty together with Ma Wannian in the sixteenth year of Shunzhi. And Qin Gongming also made the general army and died in the pacification of the Shapu Rebellion. Qin Zuoming and Qin Zuoming are both Qin Minping's sons, and they have also become generals.

Zhu Cihong didn't remember that Qin Liangyu had a nephew named Qin Yuanyi.

Seeing that Zhu Cihong was a little puzzled, Qin Gongming explained: "My father is Qin Bangping, the secretary of the capital. ”
