"Bang ......"

Three cannons rang out one after another, and there was silence outside the west city of Lushan County.

In the large open space in front of the city gate, the green battalion soldiers stood tall on the spot, swords, guns and firearms, glowing with a chilling light in the early spring sun. All around them, under the banner of the triangular green camp dragon was a formidable cannon, and the faint smoke of gunpowder had just been blown away by the wind.

On the parade platform -- in essence, it is a high platform made of wood.

Bao Ning looked at the two thousand green battalion soldiers proudly, since he arrived in Nanyang Town, he has paid close attention to the lax military discipline of Nanyang Town, and now the time to test Nanyang Town has come, although I don't know what will happen to these soldiers on the battlefield, but just look at the present, the effect is still very good.

Wang Jun flattered Baoning on the one hand, admired the elite of Nanyang Town, and on the other hand, his eyes paid attention to the gentry and officials of Lushan County under the stage. Sure enough, the group of people is much more energetic now. After watching the review of my elite soldiers of the Great Qing Dynasty, I gave these loyal and good people of the Great Qing Dynasty great encouragement and confidence.

The Chen family in the Funiu Mountain was originally just with the government, and there was no threat to the big squires in Lushan County. But who would have expected that after Chang Rui's guy set fire to Tumenji, the Chen family went completely crazy. First, he broke the Tumen Collection, tortured and killed many prisoners of war and Chang Rui himself, and then rushed out of the mountains and swept half of Lushan County, but the squire was miserable.

The Chen family is not unjustified in killing people, except for the Wang family and the Dong family, the Chen family army has been going back and forth to Lushan for a month, and they have never heard of their murder letter. But they broke the private mines, released a large number of slave laborers, and stole the necessities of life, such as grain, cloth, salt, etc., which really made the squire feel uneasy and their interests were damaged.

And the most important thing is that the name of the Chen family has been stabbed by Chang Rui to the governor's yamen, and the entire Nanyang Town has been mobilized because of it. Thousands of Green Battalion soldiers marched into Lushan County, fortunately, Lord Baoning, the chief soldier of Nanyang Town, was a good official and had very strict restrictions on military discipline, otherwise the entire Lushan would have been miserably disastrous by these thousands of Green Battalion soldiers.

The squires originally had feelings for the Chen family's 'suffering' and 'rabbits and foxes are sad and sad', but now they have all disappeared. These people, represented by the Xu family, are eager for Baoning to send troops today and report victory tomorrow. Of course, Xu Pengchun did not sigh to the moon, if there was a regret medicine in the world, he should have let people go to the Chen family at that time. Where did he promise to make such a big mess?

Mighty, mighty, and mighty, my Qing Heavenly Soldiers marched towards Tumenji with great might.

From the county seat of Lushan to the outside of the West Gate, then Xiguan, and along the Yinma River, there are crowds of people watching the excitement. The willow tree spits out the new, the spring breeze blows, and thousands of willow threads flutter with the wind, exuding the breath of early spring. In such an atmosphere and in the crowd, no one could find that there were so many people in the crowd who had nervous, solemn, or solemn faces, which were different from the ignorance of the people.

"Twelve cannons, two thousand."

In a short piece of news, the investigation is very clear, very clear, and easy. The Qing army didn't hide it at all, and Bao Ning showed all his strength, obviously not treating the Chen family as a real opponent. But how to send the news back to the nest for these pigeons under Chen Guang is a huge problem.

It is not impossible to cross the Tumen set and then detour to the Phoenix Terrace. But the road was difficult, it was difficult to walk, and there was not even a way through it, and it had to be hoisted under the broken rock with a rope, and more than once 'along the way'.

Every time a message is delivered to the mountains, it is a gamble. Chen Guang has already started to train carrier pigeons, but it will take time.

The main force of Chen's army, the main force of the miners, was no longer Tiezhai, but was transferred to Xiaonangou at the end of January. In this way, after receiving the urgent information from Phoenix Terrace, it is more convenient to reinforce Phoenix Terrace. Chen Ming said goodbye to his wife and children, and also stationed here with the army.

In the Chen family ancestral hall, the spiritual position and genealogy have all been transferred to the empty ancestral hall. Chen Ming often comes here these days. The great war came, but his heart was a little calm.

It is not because of the innocent people who died in Tumenji, nor because of the lives of the people who were about to die in the war, although the 'war' that he provoked would have killed thousands of people who could have lived, but he was for a better future for China. In the 100-year humiliation in history, how many lives has China lost?

Chen Ming has a clear conscience, so he will not feel guilty because of it.

Chen Ming is feeling uneasy about the 'insecurity' in the future. If the Chen family wins the battle in front of them, it will definitely be heard by the heavens. If Qianlong transferred troops to suppress it, there would not be too many Qing troops around the territory of western Henan. Can Funiu Mountain stop the overwhelming Qing army?

Chen Ming knew that in the battle of Jinchuan during the Qianlong period, the Manchu Qing Dynasty used five or six hundred thousand horses, killed many governors and generals, and spent tens of millions of taels of silver and decades before and after.

You must know that Lushan is the junction of plains and mountains, and it is not really in the mountains. In addition to the Nanyang Town, Hanzhong Town in the west, Yunyang Town in the south, and the general army of Xing'an Town in the southwest, that is to say, behind the Nanyang Town, Yunyang Town, Xing'an Town, and Hanzhong Town, the three towns are lined up.

Therefore, we must not think that Henan Green Battalion has few soldiers, so it is really regarded as an empty place for the Manchu Qing army. As long as the Qing government realized that something was wrong, the people of Huguang, Gansu, Shaanxi, and Sichuan would be able to calm down immediately. The Qing army had few people in Henan, but they grasped the Nanyang Basin, which was a key point of communication between the Central Plains and Huguang.

What Chen Ming is faintly afraid of is the stamina of the Qing army, a steady stream of stamina. In case of defeat, will the old and young in Funiu Mountain still survive?

Chen Ming is not afraid of how many soldiers will die, but he is afraid that it will be the women and children in Funiu Mountain who will die, which will be too tragic. What's more, with his military level, after dealing with the current war, if he really led his troops out of Lushan, how much storm could he set off? He doesn't have a score in his own heart.

At the current season, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is flourishing, and most of the people still have a bite to eat and a way to live.

Time passed towards the bright spring step by step, and more and more miscellaneous thoughts came to Chen Ming's heart, and even some of these thoughts were fundamentally opposite. Chen Ming's own heart is also very strange, he can agree with the hundreds of soldiers dying on the battlefield, but he is very afraid that the women and children in the mountains will be good and weak, this thinking sometimes he thinks is very strange when he thinks about it.

So he came to this empty ancestral hall. Perhaps it is the power of the ancestral hall itself, where the chaotic thoughts in Chen Ming's mind will calm down, allowing him to better sort out the many thoughts in his mind, and also allowing him to look forward to the future more soberly.

Now that it has decided to subvert the world and reshape China; Now that China is determined not to repeat the same path as history, it should have the determination to sacrifice everything, and it should also have the intention to sacrifice everything. Chen Ming obviously doesn't have these, or he doesn't have the determination to sacrifice his wife, children for the sake of the world.

In the face of the tide of the times, this is his weakness. His weakness had led him to thousands of distracted thoughts during this time. It's like his psychology when he was preparing to rob the prison and break out of prison.

This is the normal reaction of a mortal in the face of the tide of the times, but Chen Ming is not a mortal, he is a traverser.

- He not only wants to make Chen Jiajun's strength stronger, but also makes his heart strong!
