Zhou Yuji was riding on a horse, full of nervousness.

Zhou Yuji couldn't help but be nervous. He has a general banner, and there are only about 30 brothers under his command. But the number of the baggage and carts he was to escort was greater than that of their brethren.

What's more, what is this escort, others don't know, and he Zhou Yuji still doesn't know?

Zhou Yuji was really puzzled in his heart. With such a large batch of gunpowder, how could Yuan Futai and Zu Junmen dare to only send him such a general flag to escort it?

Yes, Zhou Yuji has always been very confident in his martial arts; He also has enough confidence in the martial arts of his brothers; His general flag, the number of 38 people, is also a rare general flag with a large number of people in the army.

But even if they are brave and good at fighting, the number of people is too small for him alone.

These dozens of truckloads of gunpowder, even if they take care of one by one, they can't keep it.

Although the order from the upper peak said that only they needed to escort the convoy to the seaside pier.

There are only a few dozen miles from Ningyuan City to the seaside wharf, and it can be delivered on the same day. But gunpowder is not another ordnance, in case of any accident, they can't take care of it, a torch can probably send their transport team to the west easily.

This convoy transported one-third of Ning Yuan's reserve gunpowder.

With such a huge responsibility and such a huge threat, how can you make Zhou Yuji not be nervous?

"Big brother."

The second brother Zhou Yuxiang hurriedly urged the war horse, hurried two steps to Zhou Yuji's side and whispered: "Big brother, do you think we want to contact the general soldier, let's transfer to Shanhaiguan?" ”

While speaking, Zhou Yuxiang carefully looked at Zhou Yuji's face. Seeing that there was no anger on Zhou Yuji's face, Zhou Yuxiang cautiously sighed again: "Big brother, just rush to give us the job this time, I think this Ning Yuan, it is difficult for us to continue to stay." ”

Although his face was silent, Zhou Yuji sighed helplessly in his heart: "This Ning Yuan is indeed very difficult for people to stay." ”

Zhou Yuji was born in the Weijun household of Jinzhou in the Ming Dynasty and was born and raised in Liaodong. According to the policy of 'defending the Liao land with Liao people' that the Ming Dynasty is now implementing, Zhou Yuji, who is brave and good at fighting, should definitely be the backbone of the Guanning army.

However, Zhou Yuji, who was from a humble background, had a straightforward personality, and was not good at greeting his boss, was not popular in Guan Ningjun.

The Guanning Army was formed in the second year of the Apocalypse, when Sun Chengzong formed the Ningyuan Defense Line, with the Ming Liaodong Defeat Army as the main body.

After the Ming Dynasty lost several key battles such as Sarhu, Liaoshen, and Guangning in a row, the original Liaodong capital had completely collapsed, and the veterans of Liaodong left behind during the Li Chengliang period were also completely lost. The Guanning Army formed by Sun Chengzong can be said to be a new army through and through.

In order to quickly build the Ningyuan defense line and quickly restore the combat strength of the Guanning Army, most of the officers of the Guanning Army promoted by Sun Chengzong were former officers of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division who had gone through various battles in Liaodong and had rich combat experience.

In order to improve the morale and sense of responsibility of the Guanning army to resist the Houjin, as well as to reduce the burden of the Ming court to defend Liaodong, Sun Chengzong went to the imperial court and arranged for the Guanning army to be in Ningyuan Tuntian.

This is Sun Chengzong's 'Liao people defend the Liao land', and 'those who have constant production have perseverance' army building ideas.

Grain, grass, ordnance, military salaries, fields, in order to hold the Ningyuan defense line, in order to be able to counterattack Houjin in the future, Sun Chengzong won everything he could for the Guanning army.

However, Sun Chengzong never thought that most of the officers of the Guanning Army he promoted had experienced various battles in Liaodong and indeed had rich combat experience; But most of these officers have been frightened by the Houjin Tartars of Commander Nurhachi. They simply didn't dare to face Houjin head-on, let alone fight the Tartars in the field.

The abundant money, food, and ordnance that Sun Chengzong had obtained, as well as the policy of allowing the Guanning army to settle in the fields, made these Guanning officers even more afraid of war.

If you can plant fields and make a fortune in peace and stability, why do you want to fight with the barbarians of Houjin?

It was under this mentality of Guan Ningjun that there was the Liuhe fiasco that led to Sun Chengzong's resignation.

In the Guanning Army, where fear of war and fear of war are the mainstream, how can a warrior like Zhou Yuji, who is always eager to fight with Houjin, be popular?

In the Battle of Ningyuan last year, the Guanning army was forced by the pressure of the imperial court and finally defended Ningyuan City with all its might. But this so-called 'Ningyuan victory' still failed to inspire the confidence of Guan Ning's army to defeat Houjin Tatar.

The mainstream of the Guanning Army still did not believe that they could defeat the Houjin Tartars. It is precisely because of this that Man Gui, who actively seeks to fight, was squeezed out by the Guan Ning army and was finally forced to transfer away from Ningyuan. In fact, if it weren't for the vigorous retention of the ministers of the governor of Jiliao, Man Gui would never have been transferred to the general army of Shanhaiguan, but would have been directly transferred back to Guannei.

As soon as Man Gui, who was actively seeking war, left, Zhou Yuji, a low-level officer who had a blood feud and wanted to fight with the Houjin Tartars all day long, how could he not be squeezed out by Zu Dashou and other mainstream Guanning Army officers?

The current mainstream Guanning Army officers, like Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang and others, what they need are obedient family members and serfs who can honestly farm the land. They don't need warriors like Zhou Yuji who don't listen to greetings and only want revenge.

Therefore, in Ningyuan after the war, Zhou Yuji, the general banner who was fearless and laughed at the battle when defending the city, had a feeling that he couldn't stay.

Looking up at the sky, Zhou Yuji shook his head slightly, as if he wanted to shake these boring thoughts out of his mind.

glanced at Zhou Yuxiang, who couldn't help but look at him, Zhou Yuji's face turned pale: "Second brother, you have so much nonsense." If you have this energy, hurry up and get out of the way, and let me explore the way forward. ”

Seeing that the eldest brother Zhou Yuji sank his face, Zhou Yuxiang didn't dare to say any more, and let the horse rush forward.

Looking at Zhou Yuxiang's back, Zhou Yuji secretly said in his heart: "Second brother, you said lightly. Let's contact General Man? It's so easy to see the general soldiers? To a little person like us, want to be transferred to the Shanhaiguan away from the Tartars? Alas! ”

With a sigh, Zhou Yuji made up his mind in his heart.

Zhao led to teach General Zhao to build a city in Jinzhou, so he still applied to be transferred to Jinzhou, right?

Jinzhou is closer to the Houjin Tartars, and it must be the first line of the Tartar attacks in the future. It should be much easier to transfer to Jinzhou than to Shanhaiguan, right?

If you go to Jinzhou, you can also kill a few more Tartars.

"Big brother."

Zhou Yuxiang, who had just been out for a long time, ran back with a shout.

"What's the matter?"

Zhou Yuji frowned, and his face sank a little.

This second brother can't be so calm all the time.

Zhou Yuxiang, who ran back, didn't pay attention to Zhou Yuji's face anymore, he shouted happily: "Big brother, there is a convoy in front, saying that they are from the brother cargo station, and they are here to pick us up and rush to the beach as soon as possible." They said that the ships had arrived, and that their keepers were in a hurry. ”

"Brother Cargo Station? Ship? ”

Hearing the news, Zhou Yuji, who had been full of nervousness, suddenly felt relieved.

These goods are shipped to the brother cargo station, that's good, that's good!
