The next day, the nine guys received the order and immediately jumped up. On the playground, I had to practice until midnight every night. Ma Xiaofang lodged a solemn protest against this, but was rejected by Zhu Hongsan.

Time flies quickly in the vigorous training of the whole army.

On April 20, Zhu Hongsan saw that the weather was good today, and the team was almost ready. The morning meeting announced the start of the afternoon competition, and the rule was to see if there were more soldiers left on that side to win.

Here is an introduction to Zhu Hongsan's military establishment. Zhu Hongsan didn't make all of them pikemen, but a battle formation with pikemen as the mainstay, supplemented by sword and shield soldiers, a company-level unit with 100 people, two rows of 60 people as pikemen, and the other 40 people were sword and shield soldiers.

The sword and shield soldier wears a half-body armor, helmet, and shin armor, a horizontal knife, and a wrist shield. The main role of the sword and shield soldiers is to pick up the stragglers and wounded soldiers who enter behind the pikemen when the large army follows up. It is also possible for the commander to assemble and perform some tactical maneuvers. The pikemen are equipped with the same equipment as the sword and shield soldiers, but the weapon becomes a three-meter-long spear. When the column rushed, it was possible to form a phalanx assault with several companies of pikemen.

Zhu Hongsan knew that this was just his wishful thinking, and the battle was always changing rapidly. However, the current equipment and training should be fine as long as it does not run into the cavalry of the brigade. The Manchu cavalry was really a headache for Zhu Hongsan, and the Manchu cavalry should be the most combat-effective force in East Asia now, and there was no one. They appear to be dealt with only with the massive use of firearms.

Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan couldn't help but feel angry, it was okay for Feng Ziyong to send those craftsmen, but not a firearms craftsman. When I asked, I found out that the firearms craftsmen of the whole country were all in Liangjing. Place at all. But the gunpowder craftsman was good. I have already handed over the gunpowder production to him. At present, the production is stable. Produces twenty * grenades per day.

Zhu Hongsan thought to himself, the battle below had already begun. The first is a first and second company. Soon the winner was separated, and he won in a row. Their company commander was a slippery head. Surprise the sword and shield men to raid the lanks of the spearmen and win.

The game was one after another, Zhu Hongsan watched it very seriously, and this time he really found a good seedling. The company commander is not bad, and his head is flexible. Zhu Hongsan remembered that his name was Zhao Goudan, and he had the same name as Zhu Hongyi (no way, there are too many duplicate names in this era).

The last game was a six-game against Ma Jingyuan. Nothing new at first. Ma Jingyuan and Zhao Goudan learned to use sword and shield soldiers to sneak attack the flank of a company of pikemen. However, the company did not send sword and shield soldiers to engage in battle. Rather, at the moment when the two pikemen were about to make contact, their pikemen separated from the middle, and the sword and shield men rushed out and stormed the enemy's flank. And his pikeman formation changed to block the opponent's sword and shield soldiers. When the sword and shield soldiers of the first company killed the pikemen of the sixth company and turned back, there were still more than twenty pikemen left in the first company, and they worked together to clean up the remnants of the sixth company. The last consecutive win.

Finally, Zhu Hongsan made a concluding speech. The tradition of the PLA's post-event summing up meeting cannot be lost.

Zhu Hongsan said: "I played well today. The other companies should also be summarized after the end. Why did you lose. It seems that this kind of big competition will be more organized in the future, and the one who loses will win the socks. It's okay to lose now, you won't die, but you will die on the battlefield in the future. Tomorrow, the company commanders will come to me to explain how you have concluded the meeting and what your shortcomings have found. It's the same with a company, don't think that if you win, you're the first. If you don't sum up your studies, you'll be caught up by the Brothers. You know? ”

"Yes, sir!"

Zhu Hongsan continued: "Next, I announce that the commander of the first battalion, Zhao Goudan, the commander of the second battalion, Ma Jingyuan, and the commander of the third battalion, Qian Yong. ”

After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he asked if there was anything that needed to be improved in some equipment. Everyone spoke one after another, and said that the shield was too small, and that it would be nice to make it bigger, etc. Zhu Hongsan wrote it down for Tie Niu to improve.

Now the casting process of the Iron Ox is becoming more and more sophisticated, and some unimportant equipment can be made by casting. For example, the helmet is cast, and Zhu Hongsan looks at the quality is still good.

After the meeting ended, the newly appointed battalion commanders led the summary meeting, and everyone put forward their opinions. Seeing that everyone was so enthusiastic, Zhu Hongsan felt that the prototype of an army had been formed. The most difficult thing for an army to establish is the military spirit, as long as there is this, even if there is one person left in the end, as long as you give yourself time, you can pull up the same army again.

In the next two months, the whole army began to conduct large-scale military training, and every day the playground was full of vigor and vigor, causing some school-age girls and daughters-in-law in the village to come to the playground every day to watch the drills.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, summer has passed, and it has entered August. Ma Xiaofang's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and the doctor said that she will give birth in two months, and now Zhu Hongsan strictly forbids her to move. may be prenatal syndrome, Ma Xiaofang will cry and laugh for a while, and get angry for a while, which makes Zhu Hong be careful every day.

A few months ago, I could go to Ruyan House to vent the fire, but since July, Ruyan was also found to be pregnant, which made Zhu Hongsan bitter. I have to watch the luck of the girl ring at home every day. Ruyan's matter was still not hidden, and one day Mrs. Ma came to see the girl and saw Ma Ruyan at a glance.

Of course, I didn't say anything afterwards, but I looked at myself very strangely.

Feng Daxian ordered to come and scolded himself for not being a thing, and even his niece could do it. Zhu Hongsan was already depressed enough, and Feng Ziyong was even more angry when he made such a fuss. Feng Ziyong said a few words, "Hello, you can kill all the people in the Zhu family, and then get other girls." Do you still have the face to scold me? If it weren't for the master to get you back, maybe the children were born to someone else now, and it would still be your turn to be a sanctimonious old pervert. Your heart is dark. ”

This sentence almost didn't kill Feng's heart attack. Ma Ruyan paused for a long time to pat his back before he could breathe. Afterwards, Feng was angry and didn't come back for more than two months.

In the end, Zhu Hongsan was really unable to hold back, and asked the fat man to lead him once, even if he played with rabbits this time. Zhu Hongsan's eyes were red, and he said that even rabbits could make thin.

Hearing this, the fat man knelt down in fright, opened his mouth and said, "Big brother, look, the front teeth are gone, do you still want my back molars?" ”

Seeing that the fat man was like this, he couldn't force him, so he had to solve it by himself.

Zhu Hongyi is already married, and this guy mixes oil with Ma Ruhua's honey every day. It was to shake the ground every night, so that Zhu Hongsan got up several times at night to drink water and hit several planes. The next day, the two of them were driven to the north of the village to live, just out of sight and out of mind.

In the end, Zhu Hongsan had no choice but to live in the barracks, train with soldiers all day long, and be tired to death every day, so as to consume excess physical strength. However, there are also benefits, and the originally thin body gradually thickens. is not as tall as Zhu Hongyi's pervert, and he has reached 1.75 meters, which is considered tall in this era.

What makes Zhu Hongsan most relieved is that he is finally taller than Ma Xiaofang, and he will no longer have to pad bricks in the future.

When Zhu Hongsan was practicing his life worse than death, Ma Mingyuan came back.

Zhu Hongsan, who received the letter, hurriedly finished freshening up, changed his clothes, and went home to see Ma Mingyuan. After hurriedly returning home, I saw two people sitting in the hall, one was Ma Mingyuan. I haven't seen Ma Mingyuan more handsome for nearly a year, this time he has three locks of beard, if he holds a feather fan, he is really the same as Zhuge Liang.

There is a handsome middle-aged man sitting on Ma Mingyuan's left, probably in his twenties (in the Ming Dynasty, twenty years old was middle-aged, and thirty years old would be called an old man). He also wore a beard, a pale white robe, and a pale blue scarf. Seeing Zhu Hongsan coming in, he got up and arched his hand: "Brother Zhongmingxian, is this Zhu Hongsan that you boasted to the sky?" ”

Ma Mingyuan laughed and said, "Brother among people, this is the little brother Zhu Hongsan I told you." ”

Zhu Hongsan stepped forward and arched his hand and said, "Second brother, don't come unharmed, but I want to kill the younger brother." Who is this brother? ”

Ma Mingyuan said with a smile: "This is the middle brother of the Huating people. Come up and salute. ”

Zhu Hongsan stepped forward and gave a deep salute and said, "The junior brother has seen the middle brother. ”

The man smiled and said: "It's all my own brothers, don't see outside, my name is Chen Zilong, just call me Zilong." ”

I didn't know just now, but as soon as I heard that he was Chen Zhilong, Zhu Hongsan was really thunderous.

After Chen Zilong finished the Hongguang Dynasty, he organized an anti-Qing resistance with his friend Xia Yunyi in his hometown of Songjiang, and after the defeat, he went to GX to live in seclusion.

In the second year of Yongli in the Southern Ming Dynasty, he contacted Huang Binqing, the defender of Zhoushan in the Southern Ming Dynasty, to lead the boat division to revolt, but Huang Binqing did not raise troops and was arrested, Chen Zilong fled to Suzhou, and finally Chen Zilong was arrested in Wu County. The Qing court sent people to interrogate him, and he was "unyielding and unyielding, and his expression remained unchanged." He said: "I Chongzhen is also in the middle of the war." Then he asked, "Why don't you shave your hair?" He said: "I only keep this hair to see the first emperor underground." ”

Chen Zilong stood awe-struck and refused to answer. In the boat of perseverance, let the guards guard it. On 13 May, Chen Zilong was escorted to Nanjing, and when he crossed the Tang Bridge in Songjiang on the way, he was unprepared for the guards, and suddenly threw himself into the water to die. He was forty years old.

The next day, Chen Zilong's protégé Wang Yu and the sedan chair man Wu You found his body in Maozhu Port and buried it in a coffin.

At that time, the pressure of the Qing army outside the late Ming Dynasty and the uprising of the hungry people in the Guanguan made the Ming Dynasty in danger, and a group of intellectuals who were worried about the country and the people had strong dissatisfaction with Wang Yangming's empty talk and misguided the country, and shouted "apply it to the world" to change the cruel social reality, Chen Zilong is one of the typical representatives. Chen Zhilong is also a famous strategist, especially during his tenure in the Hongguang court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, he wrote more than 30 notes, which were written fluently, thoughtfully, and with great strategic vision, and were later included in the "Bingyuan Recital". His text cares about the society, applies it to the world, and works hard to save the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing such a god-like figure today, how could he not make Zhu Hongsan excited. And this Chen Zilong has long been positioned as one of the candidates for future prime minister by Zhu Hongsan, not to mention his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, even his broad vision is unique at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Chen Zilong did not have the fame and status of the Hongguang Dynasty, and he was just a lifter. I just met Ma Mingyuan when I was studying in Nanzhili. The conversation with Ma Mingyuan is very speculative, especially Ma Mingyuan's current analysis of the Ming Dynasty is really to the point. But I heard Ma Mingyuan say that what he knew was told to him by a relative in his hometown. In this way, Chen Zilong became interested in Zhu Hongsan, and followed Ma Mingyuan to Huguang to meet this prodigy who could talk about the world at the age of fifteen.
