Since the Longwu court moved into Guangzhou, coupled with the Qing soldiers stationed in Fujian, the land of Guangnan has become a new anti-Qing center, many gentry and righteous men with Han families in their hearts, where the imperial court retreats, they will follow, and they have also crossed the sea one after another.

Unlike the fleeing clans, they abandoned their families and businesses and had no livelihood when they arrived in Quang Nam, and the current financial situation of the imperial court obviously could not take care of them, so they could only gather outside the city, forming a shanty town with thousands of people.

In ancient times, people were everywhere where the land was, so most of the people who were willing to retreat from the north to Guangnan with the imperial court were scholars or rich and noble families.

Most of them did not know how to farm, nor could they engage in heavy manual labor, but fortunately, Guangzhou had a prosperous business and needed a large number of literati who could read and hyphenate to act as bookkeepers and scribes.

At present, the Wuzhong Army entered Guangzhou in a big way, and most of the Shunjun family members were lost, so some people married the women of the family to the soldiers of the Wuzhong Army, so as to obtain the treatment of military dependents.

As the New Year approaches, every household in Guangzhou is busy killing chickens and sheep, and people in the shantytowns are also washing clothes.

At this time, in a dilapidated yard, a woman with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, holding a bulging belly with one hand and a basket of clothes with the other, was about to go to the yard to dry, but saw her husband leading a sheep and carrying a bag of rice and came back happily. ”

The man is a student, named Zhou Wenqi, a member of the Beizhili clan, whose ancestors have been among Jinshi, is a prominent family in the Changping area, and his wife Liang Shi is the youngest daughter of Changping Zhixian.

After the Qing army entered the customs, forced the Han people to shave their hair and change clothes, the local Han residents rose up one after another, and Dolgon carried out a large-scale massacre in Sanhe, Changping, Liangxiang and other places in Beizhili, which was known as the massacre of Jinan.

Zhou Shiqi's father-in-law and father and brother died in the massacre, and then the Manchurian nobles stook their land, his family's land was all occupied by the Eight Banners, and the family was also taken as a flag slave.

At this time, Zhou Wenqi tied the goat in the yard, put the rice down, and immediately said: "Lady, I have something important to say to you. ”

Zhou Wenqi took the basket from his wife, and while helping her dry her clothes, he said: "I resigned from the business, and I signed up to join the Five Loyal Army of Chu Guogong." ”

"What?" Liang was stunned, the clothes in her hand also fell to the ground, her lips trembled, she couldn't say a word, and suddenly, her tears welled up.

Zhou Wenqi hurriedly hugged Liang in his arms and whispered in her ear: "From Beizhi, to Nanjing, to Hangzhou, Fujian, and finally to Guangnan, my lady has fled with me all the way to the present." If the Qing army captures Guangnan, then you and I can only jump into the sea with the imperial court. Because the husband doesn't want the mother to live such a worried and frightened life, he must personally pick up a knife and gun to protect the peace of the mother and the mother. ”

Liang broke free from Zhou Wenqi and cried, "Xianggong is a scholar, he can get fame and fame to contribute to the imperial court~ As a soldier and fighting, in case Xianggong has three long and two short, the child in the belly of the concubine, and the old mother, how will he live?" ”

After Liang finished speaking, he ran quickly to the back room with tears in his eyes.

Zhou Wenqi could only be at a loss for a while, he also participated in the imperial examination, but he was not admitted, and then he was ready to go to Guozijian, and he lost the exam.

Just when he was gloomy, an old woman came out of the house, he hurriedly greeted her, helped the old woman, and called: "Mother~"

The old woman nodded and asked him to help him to sit under the courtyard, "Son~ Your ambition mother understands, you can go with confidence!" Mother will persuade you to be a good lady, you don't have to worry about your family, just go to the battlefield, don't just think about avenging your father and brother, remember to protect your body, and you must return safely. ”

Wang Yan didn't expect the recruitment of new recruits to be so smooth, he originally thought that it would take at least half a year, and even went to Guangxi and Guizhou to recruit them, but in just over two months, 50,000 horses had already been gathered.

Wang Yan thought about it, this may be due to his recruitment policy, but the more important reason is that the Qing soldiers entered the army before, killing and looting on a large scale, which made the people of Guangnan feel the crisis.

The Qing army invaded Quang Nam, causing a large number of casualties among the people, but also breaking the original pattern of Quang Nam.

Now the Qing soldiers are going to a sharp sword hanging over the heads of the Guangnan people, coupled with Wang Yan's instructive folk storytellers and singers, hyping up the brutality of the Qing soldiers, and letting Su Kunsheng and Li Xiangjun arrange dramas such as "Jiangyin Eighty Diary" and "Kunshan Ji", so that the Guangnan people are nervous and supportive of the reforms carried out by the imperial court to resist the Qing Dynasty.

Since the recruits were recruited, Wang Yan immediately ordered Dai Zhifan, Wang Shixiu and others to preside over the preliminary training, and after three months, the recruits were added to the various armies.

In order to control the army, the commanders of the towns of the Wuzhong Army did not have the right to pay and recruit troops, and the deficiencies of each department were supplemented by Wang Yan.

For Zhongzhi Town, which was stationed in Hunan, Wang Yan transferred Xie Kuang to leave the Houyong Army and presided over the recruitment and training of troops in Hunan.

The new barracks is located in the western suburbs of Guangzhou, close to the Pearl River, is a large military camp covering an area of thousands of acres, with thousands of big tents, 50,000 new soldiers stationed in it, in addition, there are also veterans drawn from various departments of the Five Loyal Army, and there are also 5,000 people, stationed in the camp.

In addition, Kuang Lu's martial arts academy also entered the camp, and unlike the task of 5,000 veterans to bring the old with the new, his task was to train officers.

At present, 50,000 new soldiers, 10 people for a small flag, 50 people for a general flag, divided into a thousand small phalanxes, because it is only a primary training, after completion, it will be sent to various towns, so there is no higher establishment.

The recruits received their armour, uniforms, weapons, and blankets, and were assigned tents, and then they returned to their tents.

The camp tent for the recruits is very large, and fifty people live in one tent, which can better cultivate the feeling of robes and facilitate training.

Although they are all recruits, Dai Zhifan trained in full accordance with the standards of the veterans, and the conditions were very difficult.

Zhou Wenqi tidied up the quilt, and was just about to fall asleep, when the curtain suddenly opened, a cold wind blew in, and a first-class officer wearing a scarlet robe and a jade belt around his waist walked in, followed by several officers wearing mountain pattern armor.

He saw Dai Zhifan, the chief general who gave them a lecture during the day, standing respectfully behind the scarlet-robed man, and saw the iconic scar on his face, so he hurriedly saluted, "Meet the Duke of Chu." ”

Wang Yan was slightly surprised, waved his hand, realized that he didn't have to be polite, and looked at the many soldiers who had already slept in the tent, and then retreated.

"Although the climate of Quang Nam is not to the south of the Yangtze River and the north land, it is winter after all, and the missing quilt must be made up as soon as possible." Wang Yan said as he walked.

Li Suiqiu nodded, "Guogong, the matter of being served is easy to solve, the key is the armor and weapons, the shortage is too big, and the pig iron is also insufficient." ”

"I originally thought it would take half a year to recruit 50,000 people, but I didn't expect it to be full in less than two months, and it is reasonable that weapons and armor can't be done." Wang Yan pondered: "This governor ordered people to talk to a few merchants to see if they could buy another batch of pig iron. ”
