When the mountains and rivers were broken and the land of Shenzhou was sinking, the fate of countless people took a major turn, Zhu Huaqi was originally the son of the king of Tongshan, and after he was twenty years old and crowned, he would be canonized as the prince of Tongshan, and he would enjoy all the glory and wealth in his life, and treat the people like ants...... Unexpectedly, only one month later, he turned into an ordinary soldier in the Chu army.

After hearing the news that his father was killed and his family was martyred, Zhu Huaqi avoided others and cried bitterly, and then buried his hatred in his heart and never mentioned it to anyone.

The news of Zhu Yun's martyrdom has been reported to the imperial court, if nothing else, Zhu Huaqi will inherit the prince of King Tongshan, but he doesn't care about this matter at all now - there are no eggs under the nest, if the Ming Dynasty dies, the identity of King Tongshan has no meaning, it can only bring disaster.

It's good to be a creep!

As the days passed, in the process of moving to Hunan, Zhu Huaqi gradually adapted to the new military life, and became inseparable friends with Da Guniu, and liked to listen to him tell stories about previous wars.

Soon he found out the problem, Da Gu Niu turned over and over, talking about the Battle of Anhua, the Battle of Yongzhou and other recent battles, Longwu was a blank four years ago, and only under questioning did he know that Da Gu Niu was a prisoner of the Battle of Huangzhou, and it was only more than three months after joining the Chu army.

"You cunning guy, obviously you are also a rookie, and you have been pretending to be a veteran, and you still don't make amends to me!" Zhu Huaqi pretended to be angry, he knew that Dao Da Gu Niu was a good-natured and kind-hearted person. So a little joke was made.

"I originally wanted to say it, but I was afraid that you would look down on it." The big bull blushed and was full of apologies. I feel that I am playing tricks on my good friends for the sake of a little vanity, which is really undeserved.

"Tell me, what were you doing on the Tartars? How many Han Chinese have you killed? And how did you get caught? ”

"I was an auxiliary soldier at the time, I had never killed anyone, Wang Junmen later attacked Huangzhou Mansion, and the brothers fled with Xu Yong, and became a prisoner in a daze...... in front of his "little brother". The words of the big bull have also increased, telling the original experience.

"I really didn't expect it, I think you know everything. It's amazing, I thought you were a veteran! Zhu Huaqi sighed.

"Wang Junmen once said that it is better to fight a battle than to practice for three years, and I have been on the battlefield several times. He also killed three Tartars. Veteran, of course! When the big bull talked about his glorious achievements, his eyes flashed with confidence, and he said understandingly: "But you are not bad, the bird is becoming more and more familiar, and even the chief has praised you several times." ”

Zhu Huaqi has received a good education, his comprehension ability is much higher than that of ordinary soldiers, and he has made rapid progress, and has been praised by Wu veterans many times. He smiled to himself and didn't say anything more. Diverting the topic and asking: "I heard Shi Chang say, our Chu army has not fought a real defeat, they are all the same Ming official army, what is the Chu army more powerful than other official army?" ”

"Well......" This question is a bit too difficult for Da Gu Niu, and he pondered for a moment before saying: "I think it's because of strict management and careful management, from Wang Junmen to our chief, we are worried very much, just like serving crops, second-rate seeds plant a gourd and harvest two scoops, and a diligent person can beat hundreds of catties of grain per acre." ”

Da Gu Niu is a farmer's child, people who are not good at farming are called second-rate people in their hometowns, although his analysis is not comprehensive, but it has been close to the most critical element, compared with the modern army, the biggest problem of the feudal army is the extensive management, like the Chu army has a detailed military regulations and regulations.

"It's really ...... careful" Zhu Huaqi has a deep understanding, he was very uncomfortable when he first joined the Chu army, he was not allowed to get up when he woke up in the morning, he had to wait for the wake-up number to blow before he could get dressed and go to the ground, he had to listen to orders when he ate, he had to listen to orders when he slew, he had to listen to orders when he went to the toilet, as the saying goes, you can't control shit and fart when you are in line with the exercises, but if you let out a fart during the queue drill, you will definitely be punched and kicked by veteran Wu immediately.

Even in the interval between marches and battles, there are clear arrangements from morning to night, and they are implemented in accordance with the regulations as much as possible, such as carefully wiping the bird gun every day, unpacking and oiling, doing personal hygiene and cleaning every day, strictly drinking raw water, and eating a spoonful of soybeans at every meal, I heard that it has the same effect as eating eggs, but Zhu Huaqi doesn't like to eat soybeans very much, because he wants to fart when he eats soybeans, and he has to be punched and kicked by veteran Wu.

This kind of day is too different from the military camp life I have heard of, tense and energetic, and there is no lack of bloody battles, Zhu Huaqi's military career is very fulfilling, and the friendship with Da Guniu and other companions is also increasing day by day, as his performance is getting better and better, Wu veteran's opinion of him is also changing, and he feels that Zhu Huaqi has an extraordinary background in the end, and he is very different from ordinary people, and he will be a long-term material in the future......

After the Chu army crossed the Xiangjiang River, it fell down the pursuers behind it, and avoided the main force of the Qing army from Hengyang, and turned to capture Anren County, which was weakly defended.

Huguang has a vast area, which is not completely controlled by the Qing army of more than 100,000 people, and Kong Youde's main force is to be placed on the front line to deal with the Ming army, and the rear is relatively empty, so he can only use the surrendered puppet army to maintain order.

The heavy artillery was left in Xiangxi, and the tactics adopted by the Chu army were different from the past, they did not dig tunnels, and they did not use ladders, but they sent archers and musketeers to the city tower to shoot at the city, suppressed the defenders, and then smashed the city gate with a rushing car...... Of course, this method can only deal with the state and county with empty defense, if you encounter a county town guarded by the main force of the Qing army, or a city with relatively strong city walls, and only by rushing to hit the city gate, the defenders can use many defensive methods, and the effect is good.

When conquering Chaling Prefecture, Zhu Huaqi once again participated in the street battle, and killed a Qing soldier at close range, the Qing army spoke authentic Hunan dialect, and looked like a man from the province, crying loudly and begging for mercy in the face of the gun, but Zhu Huaqi did not hesitate to pull the trigger. The reason is very simple, the Qing army has already shaved his head, and the hairstyle of the money rat tail makes Zhu Huaqi full of hatred.

Veteran Wu scolded: "Fuck you, this kid has already surrendered, why do you want to kill him!" ”

Zhu Huaqi said expressionlessly: "He didn't kneel to hold his head, the knife was at hand, I think there is still a threat." ”

This is using regulations to contradict the official and misinterpret the real situation, Wu veteran knew that Lu Dao was not like this, but he couldn't say anything about him in his mouth, he rushed up angrily and wanted to do it, Da Gu Niu hurriedly stopped him: "You don't know what Lu Dao is, the little pig family died in the hands of the Tartars......"

With Da Guniu's explanation, Old Soldier Wu's face softened, and he sighed and patted Zhu Huaqi on the shoulder: "Forget it this time, don't slaughter it next time for violating military regulations, if you want to be like you, Da Guniu has already been slaughtered by Lao Tzu, can you still intercede?" ”

"I'll kill him next time." Zhu Huaju's voice was cold.

"Fuck, you're still doing it!" Wu veteran scolded: "In this world now, who doesn't have two sad things in their hearts? If you can't control your emotions, you don't deserve to be a musketeer, get out of the musket team as soon as possible! ”

At this time, there was a sudden commotion in front, and a group of local soldiers rushed up to meet him, led by a Manchu Zhizhou, and the soldiers of the Chu army immediately raised their bird guns, and the muzzles of the black hole were aimed at that Zhizhou.

"Don't fight! Don't hit! The contemptible person is the governor of Chaling, and he is especially sincere to the heavenly soldiers! ”

"Chaling has broken the city, and it's too late to surrender now!" Veteran Wu's answer was very blunt, and the bird gun in his hand kept aiming at the other party's chest.

"The contemptible people have kept the granary and the treasury, which can be regarded as a crime!"

"Oh, really?" Veteran Wu immediately smiled, lowered his gun and asked, "How much grain is left in the granary?" What about the domain? How much silver is in the treasury? ”

Zhu Huaqi and several other soldiers were singled out, and the Chaling Zhizhou was escorted to the Chinese army, and after the handover of the Chinese army, Zhu Huaqi was about to return to the north, Cheng Wen suddenly found it, gave him a letter, opened it and saw that it was written by his brother.

Zhu Huaqi also has two younger brothers and one sister, because he is still young, he was sent to Guilin in the rear to be arranged by the royal family to raise, because of the martyrdom of Zhu Yunyao, the king of Tongshan, the court is worried about his orphans, and the two brothers and one sister have proper arrangements and live well in Guilin.

Expressing his gratitude to Cheng Wen, the two chatted a few more words, but saw Shi Shiran of Chaling Zhizhou walking out of the big tent of the Chinese army, looking at his triumphant appearance, he should have been acquitted, and he was praised in front of Wang Kefan.

"This kind of human head rat at both ends, why do you spare his life?" Zhu Huaqi asked.

"Merit will be rewarded, guilt will be punished, the Tartar officers had better be like him, of course the military will not kill him." Cheng asked about Zhu Huaqi's identity, and carefully explained: "He not only kept the granary domain, but also donated the land book of Benzhou, and the military gate may let him continue to serve as the governor of Chaling." ”

"Tian Book? What does Wang Junmen want to do in Honshu? Won't our army stay here and leave? Zhu Huaqi didn't understand.

"Sooner or later, the Tartars will be driven away, and preparations will be made for the future." Cheng Wen said with a smile: "After this big battle, there will be a lot of ownerless fields in Huguang, and if you don't take it, you will be blamed, and the military gate plans to arrange a back road for the soldiers......"

The Qing army's pursuers approached Chalingzhou from several roads, and the other ways out of the Chu army were blocked, so they continued to go east over the mountains and entered the Jinggangshan area.

During the period of rest and recuperation in the Jinggangshan area, the Chu army issued another order, after the Qing army was driven away, all the soldiers who were killed or disabled in battle could be allocated a piece of Rongyang land in Huguang to ensure that their families had no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
