Chapter 100: The Man of Destiny
For a while, the camp of the Xingtian Army in Ruyang County was lively, and the soldiers, under the orders of the officers, packed up their bags, removed the military tents, and loaded them on the carts of the large luggage teams of each battalion.
After the sky was completely dark, a group of soldiers and horses began to leave the camp as a whole, without raising torches, only illuminated by the moonlight in the night sky, and the three battalions of men and horses stationed in the Ruyang camp, the horses and bells began to quietly step out of the camp, without alarming the local people at all, and quickly disappeared on the road to Yichuan.
In fact, the eight battalions of the Xingtian Army are not all in Ruyang County, only four battalions and one new battalion are stationed in Ruyang County, and the rest of the battalions are distributed in Song County and Yichuan County, in order to alleviate the pressure on many soldiers and horses gathered together to get food in Ruyang County, and at the same time, they are also responsible for guarding the forces that refuse to submit to the two counties.
Therefore, when Xiao Tianjian left Ruyang County, he only led the three battalions of soldiers and horses of the battalion and some of the battalions under Li Xuanzhu, and accompanied by a guard company of less than 300 people under Tietou, with only about 4,000 troops.
In accordance with Xiao Tianjian's instructions, these generals did not raise torches, did not make loud noises, and formed a whole team in the camp in advance.
And Xiao Tianjian was early the next morning, only led the remaining battalion to leave Ruyang, don't look at only more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, but after these more than 1,000 people lined up in a column formation, when they stepped out of the camp, they still looked much more majestic than other armies, and the drumbeat of the marching drums in the team also became more and more rhythmic, and all the soldiers and generals stepped on the drums, which made the array of the Xingtian Army on the march appear to be morale-high, plus the soldiers of the Xingtian Army were under the beginning of the officers. After leaving the camp, he sang loudly, Xiao Tianjian taught the boy to his generals to be self-reliant At this time, although it was not officially set as the military song of the Xingtian Army, but now it has been widely sung by the Xingtian Army, and it has basically become the military song of the Xingtian Army.
More than 1,000 people sang a song together, the effect was so strong, it was obvious, the strong singing voice rolled through, resounded throughout the whole land, and even went straight to the sky, even the people who were working in the fields far away, also straightened their waists, involuntarily straightened their waists, looking at the steel and iron casting army rolling away on the road, they couldn't help but be in awe, and some people ran to the side of the road, loudly cheering for the Xingtian army.
Xiao Tianjian rode on horseback and pointed at the ordinary people who spontaneously came to see off the Xingtian Army on the side of the road with a horsewhip, and smiled at Niu Jinxing who followed him: "Sir, please see, these people are sincere support for us, originally we are all Ming courtiers, but it is a pity that the Ming court does not take us as his courtiers, so that the people of the world are forced to rise up one after another, if it is not for the perverse behavior of the government and the court, how can there be a wanton offense by the Jiannu Tartars?" With the strength of our great Han country, who in the sea can compete with me? ”
Niu Jinxing nodded and said, "Water can carry a boat and capsize a boat!" Those who win the hearts of the people win the world! What the big marshal is doing now is exactly where he wins the hearts of the people, how can the people's hearts not be attributed to the big handsome? In the long run, it is probably not impossible for the handsome to win the world! ”
Xiao Tianjian shook his head and said, "Winning the world? Hehe! To be honest, what's so good about being an emperor? When a faint monarch, he will be scolded, and he will be stinking for 10,000 years and will never be able to turn over, but if he wants to be a Ming Jun, he will have to manage all kinds of government affairs all day long, and he will not dare to relax a little. In my eyes, being an emperor is not a good job! ”
Niu Jinxing smiled after hearing this, Xiao Tianjian said this very lightly, but he said his thoughts, to some extent, it also shows that Xiao Tianjian's mentality is not the kind of person who is very powerful, and it will be relatively easier to do things under such a person, but he didn't believe that Xiao Tianjian didn't want to win the world, so he sat on the dragon chair, so he asked with a smile: "So since the handsome man doesn't have the heart to win the world, why bother to run military affairs so hard every day, only sleep for a while every day, and do it so diligently?" ”
Xiao Tianjian looked at the generals under his command who strode past him, his expression became serious, his eyes turned to the far north, and he sighed slightly and said, "Good question, sir!" Because I know what's coming in the future! Because our Han nation, is about to fall into the dire straits, but the people of the world are still ignorant of the imperial court, the imperial court has always despised the Jiannu Tartars, insisted on going their own way to the internal levy and tyranny, forcing the people of the world to make a living, but do not repair the internal affairs, today's saint is a stubborn and self-serving person, for the ministers are unsympathetic, so that the party and government in the DPRK and China continue to solve the slightest practical matter, but most of the officials only know how to promote officials and make a fortune, greedy for ink, do not consider the people's suffering, and now the Ming Dynasty has long been full of holes, it seems to be very strong, In fact, the foundation has long been hollowed out by these moths, and it will overturn at any time!
Look at us ordinary people, what kind of life is living, the same as the people of the Ming Dynasty, no one is affected by the disaster, on the contrary, it is intensified to exploit, people always have to find a way to live, even if it is just for so many brothers who follow me, I will do it without hesitation with the current court to the end, and return the people of the world to a peaceful day!
In addition, let's talk about the descendants of the wild boar skin outside the Guan, they have already seen the weakness of the Ming Dynasty today, and they covet the land of our Han people one by one, so they will be so arrogant to knock on the gate again and again, wantonly kill our Han people, wantonly loot, and can't wait to step into the Central Plains and take the huge world into their hands, but the Ming monarchs and ministers still turn a blind eye! If one day these barbarians are allowed to enter the Central Plains, it will be an unprecedented catastrophe for us Chinese, and it may sink our Chinese nation from now on, so since the current imperial court cannot shoulder such a responsibility, then I, Xiao, as a member of the Han people, should stand up and take this burden!
Hehe! Far from it! Far from it! Don't ask me why I know, but I just know! In short, since God chose me and threw me into this era, then I will not give up, and I will fight hard after all, even if I fail, I have no regrets about coming to this world! ”
Niu Jinxing sat on horseback, listening to Xiao Tianjian's impassioned words, his heart was also churning, he did underestimate Xiao Tianjian a little before, originally he thought that although Xiao Tianjian had a bit of the ability to train soldiers, but after all, he was still a clay-legged man, and his ambitions were far higher, and he was under his command, so he had to find a way to help him achieve a career, and also win a future for his future, but after listening to Xiao Tianjian's words today, he found that Xiao Tianjian's ambitions were actually much higher than he thought, There is no need for him to tell him what he wants to pursue in the future, he already has a good idea in his heart, and he may even have more than an ambition to win the world, and it may even be bigger, as for where it is, now even Niu Venus is a little unclear.
Looking at the tall and majestic back of Xiao Tianjian who was walking towards the front of the team, Niu Jinxing suddenly became more curious about him, Niu Jinxing thought that he was very knowledgeable, but in Xiao Tianjian, he couldn't see through his thoughts, Xiao Tianjian sometimes seemed to be shrouded in a fog, always letting him look at him through a layer of thick fog, so that the more he wanted to see his mind clearly, the more he couldn't see clearly.
Especially after listening to Xiao Tianjian's words, he faintly had a strange feeling, Xiao Tianjian didn't seem to be supposed to appear in this era, he seemed to know better than anyone what was going to happen on the Central Plains in the future, there was a heavy burden on his shoulders, so he had to work hard to carry this burden, and trudge forward, what did he want? That's a curious question! What is his origin, and why does he know what the future holds? And so sure that the Jiannu Tartars will become the biggest enemy of the Han people?
"That's it! That's it! It's really hard to see! This handsome man does have something extraordinary, so let me Niu follow him to take a good look at what he wants to do! Maybe he's really a man of destiny! Niu Jinxing couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't see through it, so he simply didn't think about it, shook his head, and said to himself, and then lifted the reins of the horse, urging the horse that sat down to chase Xiao Tianjian, who had already overtaken him and rushed to the front of the team.
