Section 585 Morale of the Army

The fourth volume of the sharp blade out of the sheath Shenzhou moves

In the golden autumn of September, the Liaodong Peninsula has been chilled, and there is no more scorching heat in midsummer.

Inside and outside the Wafangdian city wall, both the Dingnan Army and the Jiannu Army were constantly making preparations, accumulating strength for the next big war, striving to resolve the battle as soon as possible, and destroy each other.

In contrast, as a besieging party and fighting on the mainland, Jiannu's momentum is undoubtedly stronger.

Every day, small groups of reinforcements or food arrive, which always elicits bursts of cheers.

But Qin Haoming was unmoved, commanding a huge team of soldiers and civilians, building his three-dimensional defense project.

In just a few days, an unprecedented, unfathomable, and magnificent underground barracks was built.

When Qin Haoming and a group of civil and military generals walked around the underground fortress, they couldn't help but sigh at the wisdom of the common people in ancient and modern times.

To tell the truth, because it is impossible for Qin Haoming to be on the construction site in person because of the coordination and arrangement of all aspects of work, he just draws sketches, and the rest is planned and arranged by the soldiers themselves.

Today is the day of the test, much better than he imagined.

From the stone staircase of the four walls of the city turned two fortifications, the entrances of four or five underground fortresses, and on either side of the one-man high passage, which curved gently downward, were the rest rooms.

The soldiers who were repairing in shifts lay quietly in the upper and lower layers separated by thick wooden planks, and slept soundly next to their comrades.

Dozens of passages lead to a small square underground square in the innermost, the residence of the medical battalion and the artisan battalion.

The medical camp is a row of wards for the wounded, and there is even a well that has been dug outside, so that the water is within easy reach.

On the other side of the square, hundreds of soldiers who were about to enter the city to stand guard were being discussed by their superiors in groups, and then clapped and cheered each other and left in a procession through the various passages.

Since there are many passages, the air circulation is very good, and I don't feel that it is too dull.

From time to time, cooks brought food from outside, doctors took turns checking the recovery of wounded soldiers, and soldiers discussed and quarreled about the mistakes made in the last battle.

There were also some soldiers who wept in front of the ashes of their brothers who died in battle, and there were even soldiers who slept soundly and snorted in unison.

In front, several low-level generals were wrapped in wounds, bragging and ridiculing at the soldiers under them, talking like a river, pointing at the country, and looking like a peerless fierce general.

Qin Haoming smiled and quietly stopped to listen to the morale of the soldiers.

"Dongzi, what's so embarrassing about being afraid of death, who is not afraid of death? Who is not an ordinary man born and raised by his father?

But Qin Du said it well, people are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than Hongmao, and they are used for it...... Alas, anyway, it means to die as you deserve.

How many Ming people have been harmed by Jiannu for so many years, if we don't fight to the death, are we still the descendants of Yan and Huang? Do we still want to let the alien race kill us and wipe out the country? ”

It can be seen that he has said a lot of these words, and he looks very neat.

Dongzi's name is Wang Weidong, and Qi Gang recruited recruits from Jiangsu and Zhejiang from Yiwu.

But in the face of death, he was still afraid, and mustered up the courage to hesitate and asked, "But the casualties of the brothers are too great?"

Since entering Liaodong, I am afraid that three or four thousand brothers have been lost here? ”

The officer waved his hand indifferently and smiled: "It's normal to die in battle, I'm afraid that the commander will make a stupid command and let us die in vain."

We have only fought many battles, but Jiannu has all been trained in riding and archery since childhood, and the Ming Dynasty has no power to fight back over the years, and the whole army is wiped out.

But Qin Du is just the opposite, no matter how many troops he has, he fights skillfully and wonderfully, never fights uncertain battles, and makes Jiannu ghosts cry wolves, but he is helpless.

Do the math, whether he is a solid mountain Ezhen, Niu Lu Ezhen, or a prince Baylor, how many died in the hands of Qin Du?

Dongzi said that we have three or four thousand brothers who have been lost in Liaodong, but how many of those traitors, Tartars, and Jiannu are combined?

To put it mildly, I think there are more than 15,000 people! There were three or four thousand captives alone, and you must know that Qin Du had a habit of not keeping prisoners. ”

Everyone laughed and laughed, showing each other's tacit eyes, and there was a lot less timidity in their hearts.

"You are in the midst of blessings and do not know blessings! The days are better, and there are more ideas. ”

Fengzi recuperated for more than ten days, his face looked much better, he was on crutches, his right foot showed an empty trouser leg, and he sat against the wall with the support of two soldiers.

"If you fight a war, you will die, but if you stay at home, you won't die?" Fengzi looked down at the broken leg, with a trace of sadness in his eyes, but quickly raised his head and said resolutely:

"Over the years, those who died of starvation, those who died of plague, those who were forced to die by officials, and those who were killed by bandits...... Isn't that less?

Let's take a look at our Dingnan Army, not to mention the food and equipment rewards, that is the only one in the Ming Dynasty, that is, the three armies in Beijing, and you have to be greedy when you see it.

Qin Governor is benevolent and righteous, and he has specially formulated a disability pension standard for us big soldiers, and you also know how high the standard is. I'm afraid that if we die, our family won't be able to survive.

When we defeat the Tartars, the dead brothers' families have little to rely on, the injured and disabled brothers have no worries, and the living are all blessed and promoted.

We are all from a bitter background, and we all come to eat with knives when our families are not happy, and we are all relieved when we die.

But with Lord Qin Du to take care of us, we may be able to soar in the future, earn a wealth for my father and mother, and give my children and grandchildren a background, and burn incense in the ancestral tomb to have such a good thing.

Compared with other Ming troops in Liaodong, especially the brothers who died in Sarhu, we just give a golden pillow for sleep and a golden rice bowl for dinner, and you are beautiful.

Even if it's me, what if I break a leg? Are there fewer people in our Governor's Mansion who are blind with broken legs and hands? That brother dares to show them a look?

You see Li Biao and Li Shaojun, they are also disabled people, but they are just the gatekeepers of the Governor's Palace, but the mediator personally protected by the Governor of Qin does not marry a wife and have children to pass on the lineage, and they are upright!

Li Shaojun's goods, he still has two meals of wine a day, and he doesn't drink bad wine, he is like a god, so unhappy!

But what did Qin Du say, it was exchanged for blood by others, which is reasonable and legitimate.

The labor and management plan is ready, and when I go back, I will ask Li Shaojun to move the nest, so that the labor and management can also enjoy the blessings, haha......"

Fengzi said it funny, and the soldiers laughed one by one, as if they had really taken a big advantage, and they were all proud and embarrassed.

Qin Haoming's eyes were slightly moist, for thousands of years in China, it was countless unsung heroes like Fengzi who supported the backbone of the nation without asking for anything in return.
