"Well, you get up first." There is a difference between men and women, Wang Kefan is inconvenient to help her, and gets up to avoid receiving Hua Xiaoyue's gift: "Actually, I don't know any spells, Zuo Liangyushou has arrived, and it just happened to be ......"

Zuo Liangyu is dead, Hua Xiaoyue has revealed any deep hatred and hatred, there is no need to lie to her again, and Wang Kefan doesn't want to continue to pretend to be a ghost. However, this matter is difficult to explain, crossing is his biggest secret, and he must not be told to the second person.

Sure enough, Hua Xiaoyue didn't believe his words at all, and she just didn't get up when she knelt on the ground.

"Why should General Wang hide it! Zuo Liangyu's thief is in his prime, if it weren't for the general's spell, how could he die? If it was really a coincidence, how could the general have not predicted the prophet in the first place, and set the death date of the left thief in one bite! ”

"Well, here's why...... It's inconvenient to tell you, but I really don't know any spells, so I can't accept you as an apprentice! ”

His answer sounded even more far-fetched, Hua Xiaoyue immediately showed a look of who are you fooling, although there were still tears on her face, and her eyes were shy, but she was a daughter who was resentful and resentful, as if she was annoyed but not annoyed.

She has been obsessed with the Taoist method of immortals for many years, and believes that there are masters in the world, and hidden virtues are hidden in the red world.

"General Wang said that he can't spell, that is, he won't. But I still have to worship General Wang as a teacher, not for cultivation and Taoism, but only to serve the general. She knelt there and stiffened her neck, and said resolutely: "If General Wang doesn't agree, the little girl won't get up today!" ”

Ran into Rippy!

Wang Kefan didn't want to entangle with a little woman, so he waved his hand helplessly: "Okay, if you want to apprentice, you can apprentice, but let me tell you first, I won't teach you anything......"

"Thank you, Master!" Hua Xiaoyue immediately kowtowed her head and knocked on the corner, not giving Wang Kefan any chance to regret it.

"Get up, you will still be your medical officer in the future, everything will be the same as before, and you are not allowed to call me Master again!" Wang Kefan really couldn't stand this title, and said in an aggravated tone: "No matter when, as long as I hear the word master, I will immediately expel you from the master's door!" ”

"Understand, the little girl is still my medical officer, and everything is the same as before." Hua Xiaoyue was able to see through it at one point, stood up happily, and found a reason for Wang Kefan: "General Wang is an official and a disciple of Sage Confucius, it is always inconvenient to practice spells, the little woman understands the stakes and will never cause trouble to the general!" ”

Wang Kefan nodded, it doesn't matter, it's just like a joke to accept a nominal apprentice, and he won't take it seriously for a long time...... But this girl is eccentric, and she is an uneasy character, so she takes this opportunity to bang and knock.

"I ask you, who in the barracks knows you're a woman?"

"That's a lot, the ugly-faced black fish, Big Brother Shi, the Jingliang brothers......, and the veterans with them, there must be one or twenty people." Hua Xiaoyue counted with her fingers, suddenly stopped and asked, "Does my brother count?" ”

Wang Kefan ignored her poor jokes, and said with a straight face: "In the future, pay attention to everyone in front of and behind, put on a fake beard, and don't let those recruits know that you are a woman." It's inconvenient for women in the barracks, so you will stay in the infirmary honestly in the future, and you are not allowed to go anywhere else......"

According to the taboo of this era, women belong to the yin, and women in the army will lose the battle. Although Wang Kefan didn't believe in this nonsense, he didn't want to discuss the issue of equality between men and women with a group of Ming Dynasty people in the seventeenth century, so he simply let Hua Xiaoyue continue to dress as a man.

In addition, Wang Kefan was also a little worried about Hua Xiaoyue. The soldiers of the Gongyi battalion are all simple peasants, and they are easily bewitched by feudal superstitions, and Hua Xiaoyue's performance at the last Chenghuang Zhai Jiao ceremony was too amazing.

Hua Xiaoyue Nuo Nuo continued to speak, Wang Kefan criticized with a straight face, and Zuihou suddenly asked again: "Does the black fish like you?" ”

"General Wang...... what do you say? How would I know this? Hua Xiaoyue's face turned red.

"You're not too young, you should find a man to take care of you, and if you meet the right one, you can get married."

Wang Kefan threw down this sentence and walked away, and after walking out of the medical hall, a smug smile appeared on his face.

Still afraid it won't cure you? Since she is crying and shouting about apprenticeship, she is Hua Xiaoyue's elder, and it is not a bad taste to care about her personal problems. This girl is already twenty years old, and in the Ming Dynasty, where early marriage was popular, it was a standard "older" leftover girl, and the leftover girl, as long as the word marriage was mentioned, she would be 100% hit by her death.

In the medical hall, Hua Xiaoyuemu, who was hit by the death hole, was motionless, but the expression on her face changed from time to time, ashamed, annoyed and a little tangled.

……

The caravan of Jin Buchang and Tongjiang Commercial House returned from Guangzhou.

They brought back 150 new Western arquebuses, which were tested and tested to be 20 paces longer than the range of the existing bird guns in the Gongyi battalion. Twenty paces, this distance does not sound far, and it is only a matter of a moment for the charging cavalry, but when it is used in conjunction with various barricades when defending the city and the fortification, it is enough for the firecrackers to fire one more shot.

In addition to weapons and ammunition, they also purchased a batch of Western tools and instruments for making firearms in accordance with Wang Kefan's requirements, and as long as they prepared raw materials, they could produce ammunition and lead on their own, as well as common accessories that were easily damaged, and these things were consumables, and it was impossible to purchase them from Guangdong, which was thousands of miles away, for a long time.

A few days later, Teng Shuanglin came to Chongyang with a new outpost, he came to change the guard, and Wang Sheng would replace him in Tongcheng. This is Wang Kefan's special arrangement, although the Gongyi battalion is a general, but it is not a laissez-faire, Teng Shuanglin and his subordinates are all locals of Tongcheng, if they are stationed in Tongcheng for a long time, they will really become a sitting tiger for a long time, and it is difficult to control.

In addition to more than 200 soldiers, Teng Shuanglin's subordinates recruited 100 new auxiliaries, although this army has just been in the army for less than a month, but it has fought a vicious battle with the elite Dashun army, and already has a bit of veteran temperament.

"That Hao Shaoqi is just a feint to attack Tongcheng, and the thieves will retreat from the enemy while talking and laughing, and it will be almost effortless......" Speaking of the battle of Tongcheng, Teng Shuanglin's tone was very relaxed, but the two scars on his cheeks and arms fully illustrated the danger of the situation at that time.

"A feint attack is also an attack, Brother Shuanglin defended Tongcheng with 200 recruits, this battle was fought beautifully, and the younger brother admired it!" Lu Renqing became the deputy sentinel, and he no longer rejected Teng Shuanglin, and the relationship between the two eased a lot.

Since his attitude was sincere and he praised him sincerely, Teng Shuanglin no longer joked, waved his hand and sighed: "Li Chuang's department is indeed brave, although it is only a few hundred thieves who rode lightly and rushed forward, and almost broke through the city, I relied on the city to hold on, and I barely supported it for three or five days...... But it's nothing, give me a few months to train well, and the next time I meet Hao Shaoqi, he will definitely not be able to please him......"

Li Zicheng's department has been dominating the world for more than ten years, invincible, and is the most elite strong army in addition to the Eight Banners Force, and the Gongyi Battalion can win the battle, and the self-confidence of the top and bottom has increased a lot.

"There's not that much time left." Wang Kefan shook his head: "The remnants of Li Chuang have entered Huguang again, and there are nearly 300,000 troops on the east and west roads. ”

"Three hundred thousand? Make no mistake, right? Teng Shuanglin was taken aback, obviously unconvinced.

After Li Zicheng's death, it was normal for the remnants to run into Huguang again, but there were only more than 200,000 troops under his command, and after several defeats in Wuchang and Jiujiang, all the remnants were gathered together, at most more than 100,000 people, where did the 300,000 troops come from?

"'A tiger' Li Guo entered Huguang." Wang Kefan's answer unraveled his doubts.

Li Guo, Li Zicheng's nephew, Dashun Dynasty Wait, a general, nicknamed a tiger.

When the Qing army attacked Shaanxi, Li Zicheng and Duoduo fought fiercely in Tongguan, Li Guo and Gao Yigong resisted Azig in northern Shaanxi, after Li Zicheng withdrew from Shaanxi, Li Guo and Gao Yigong did not keep up with the large army, so they had to make a detour to break through, enter Sichuan through Hanzhong, and chase Li Zicheng down the Yangtze River.

This bend is relatively big, and there is a battle with He Zhen, the rebel general of the Dashun army, when Li Guo and Gao Yigong arrived near Jingzhou, the Jiujiang fiasco has happened, and Li Zicheng also died in Jiugong Mountain.

That is to say, the Dashun army was divided into two roads at this time, the east road had Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu, Hao Shaoqi and others, in addition to the loss of soldiers, there were more than 100,000 people, but the troops of Li Guo and Gao Yigong on the west road were relatively complete, and the strength exceeded that of the east route army, with more than 100,000 horses.

The current situation in Huguang is like a puzzle, the north is controlled by the Qing army, the south is controlled by the Ming army, the Dashun army is one left and one right, entrenched in the east and west, and Chongyang and Tongcheng are located in the vacuum area between these four shili, with more than 2,000 people and horses circling among hundreds of thousands of troops, and one will be crushed if he is not careful.

The Ming army is a friendly army, and it is basically harmless if it can't help, Azig's main force is still entangled with Zuo Mengeng in Jiangxi, and the Qing army's strength in Huguang is weak, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being, but the nearly 300,000 Dashun army poses a huge threat to the Gongyi battalion!
