Zhu Shunming didn't know how he got back to the camp. He was in a state of confusion and lost his soul, as if he had just woken up.

"The boss saw a woman on horseback and shouted 'Cuiwei'. The woman named Cuiwei slapped the boss with a whip, and the boss became like this. Sister Ruyu, that's really it. Li Dingguo explained to Ruyu seriously.

"The vixen, it must be the vixen, who took away the young master's soul." Ruyu said hatefully: "I have to find a profound Taoist priest and take away the fox spirit." ”

With the improvement of Zhu Shunming's prestige in the Zhu family, the status of Ruyu, who has always been favored, has risen with the tide.

In addition, Zhu Shunming intentionally or unintentionally let Ruyu participate in some of the affairs of the Zhu family, Ruyu is already the substantive housekeeper of the Zhu family, and some chores such as the entry and exit of silver money and the sale of materials must pass through her hands.

That night, Ruyu used her plump and fiery youth to recall Zhu Shunming's soul that was taken away by the fox spirit.

"Recruitment Notice for the Ninth Team of Breaking Generals"

"Recruit elite soldiers. Able to eat and dress warmly. If you win a war, you can give out a reward. Requirements:"

"I. Men"

"2. Able to lift stone locks"

"Three, a stick of incense can run from the west gate to the east gate, and then run back to the west gate."

"Fourth, those who can ride horses and shoot arrows are preferred."

Zhu Shunming recruited troops in the west of the city and posted a notice, attracting a large number of onlookers.

"My lord, can you really eat enough?" A tall, thin man asked.

"Yes." Zhu Shunming replied expressionlessly.

"I'll sign up." Hearing that he could eat enough, the tall and thin man was busy signing up.

"Being a soldier is risky, you have to obey the orders of your superiors, and you can die on the battlefield. Have you figured it out? If you join, you can't opt out. Zhu Shunming woke up.

"As long as you can eat, you can die tomorrow." The tall and thin man is hungry and scared.

"Okay, you go and lift the stone lock. If it can be lifted, it will be preliminarily passed. ”

A pair of stone locks is a load, about 60 kilograms. Zhu Shunming only asked the conscripts to lift a stone lock with one hand, which weighs thirty kilograms, which the average adult man can do.

The tall and thin man lifted the stone lock very easily, and also pulled a trick, winning the applause of the house.

"The primary election passed." Zhu Shunming said: "Now for the second assessment. From here, I ran to the east gate, got the number from the soldier, and ran back. If you come back with a brand in a stick of incense, even if you pass. You can join Team Nine. ”

"Adult...... tall and thin man looked at Zhu Shunming expectantly, and stopped talking.

"Something to talk about."

"My lord, can you give me something to eat first? The villain hasn't eaten in two days. The tall and thin man bent over and said flatteringly.

"Ruyu, give a steamed bun."

Ruyu was pulled by Zhu Shunming to act as a clerk. There are too few people available to Zhu Shunming.

The tall and thin man devoured the steamed bun in a few bites, almost choking.

Tall and thin people are very good at running, and they will also distribute their physical strength reasonably. After half a burnt incense, the thin and tall man successfully came back with the brand.

"Good physical fitness, smart and philistine." Zhu Shunming defined thin and tall.

"Congratulations, you passed the assessment. In the future, I will be able to eat and clothe warmly. Please go to the clerical office to fill in the information. ”

The tall and thin man smiled.

"Name? Age? Origin? Who else is in the house? What are your strengths? What have you done before? What do you want to do in the military? ”

can do things for the young master, of course Ruyu is willing. She was a little nervous, afraid of ruining the young master's big thing. At this moment, she kept a straight face and pretended to ask calmly.

"Wang Xing, twenty-three, from Datong, Shanxi, there is no one at home......" Speaking of this, Wang Xing said in a low tone, hesitated for a while, and then said: "...... Served as a soldier. I can raise horses, can I be a groom? Can the groom be full? ”

Ruyu kept filling in the resume made by Zhu Shunming. The form that the young master made is really convenient and clear at a glance, unlike the previous documents, which could not find the main points after reading for a long time.

Wang Xing's problem Ruyu couldn't be the master, so he had to turn to Zhu Shunming for help.

"Personal opinions are for informational purposes only. The team will make reasonable arrangements according to each person's place of origin, physical condition, strengths, personal wishes, etc. Zhu Shunming explained very patiently: "Every position can be full. Whether you can eat well or not depends on your ability. ”

"Hey, okay!" Wang Xing was very happy to press his handprint on his resume, and followed the little family to measure and check his body and do a good job of hygiene.

With Wang Xing's precedent, a large number of displaced people rushed up and rushed to sign up first.

Zhu Shunming only recruited 200 people. He can only afford to support so many people.

………………

"Cuiwei, the second stunned man has been training, let's take a look. Coke! Tian Hui laughed, pulled Li Cuiwei, and several sisters went out to watch the excitement together.

"What's so nice about military training?" Li Cuiwei said in her mouth, but her legs and feet involuntarily walked out.

"It's fun to train the soldiers in a daze," Tian Hui smiled very happily: "He trained the soldiers into wooden stakes and stood there without moving." You say, how can there be such a training force? Is he going to train his subordinates to be dumbfounded? Hehehe......"

Ever since they met outside the camp, Li Cuiwei has never forgotten that disciple. The eyes that penetrated people's hearts, the sincere words, the sad and lost look, and the lonely and lonely figure kept appearing in front of her.

"Could it be that he really knows me?" Li Cuiwei was a little skeptical of her memory: "Otherwise, how would he know my name?" Mother...... Is he a relative on his mother's side? Cousin? Doll pro? She blushed a little herself.

The second stunned man really trained the soldiers into wooden stakes.

More than 200 soldiers, braving the cold wind, stood straight and neat. Each person wears a yellow-green short-fighting military uniform, giving everyone a formal feeling.

The second stunned man held a wooden stick the thickness of the baby's arm, and kept reprimanding, very irritable. Look at whoever moves, and if you look at the ass, you will be beaten with a stick. On a cold day, the soldiers were all steaming white, and cold sweat was dripping from their eyebrows and the tip of their noses.

Far away, Li Cuiwei could feel Zhu Shunming's violence.

"Sister Cuiwei, I'm not wrong, right? The second stunned man trained all his soldiers into wooden stakes. Did he let the soldiers stand still and let the officials and dogs cut and kill? What an idiot. ”

"Hui'er, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Maybe...... He has a deep meaning. Li Cuiwei argued.

"Oh......"

"Oh......"

"Oh......"

The little sisters coaxed together, laughing and trembling: "...... There is a deep meaning...... Hehehe...... Sister Cuiwei, go and ask, what does he mean? ”

"You ......" Li Cuiwei was very embarrassed, stomping her feet coquettishly.

"Look, the two stunned soldiers are driven into the pit." Tian Hui shouted.

On the school ground, Zhu Shunming held a big stick and shouted the number of "one, two, one", and the soldiers lined up in three columns, not walking forward very neatly.

A large pit was dug at the side of the school yard, half a person high, and the bottom of the pit was muddy.

The procession marched to the edge of the pit and naturally stopped.

Zhu Shunming kicked the vanguard into the mud puddle, and shouted angrily: "Did Lao Tzu tell you to stop? In front of you is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, and you have to give it to Lao Tzu. on, all TM's on. Whoever dares to stop, Lao Tzu breaks his legs. ”

He turned around and shouted: "Li Dingguo, give Lao Tzu a hard beating, break the legs of these cowards." ”

Li Dingguo was very excited, and said fiercely in a voice that was changing his voice: "Jump down, otherwise you will be locked up, and you will be better off than dead......

What punishment is more brutal than breaking a leg?

The soldiers, either voluntarily or forced, gritted their teeth and jumped into the mud pit, one by one embarrassed, scolding in their hearts.

Li Cuiwei was a little moved. She remembered what her father had told her, the Qi family army was waiting for the review in the heavy rain, and for several hours, the team did not move at all, it was for the strength of the world.

These two stunned people are also military training wizards? I wonder if I can get into my father's eyes? Seeing that his father made him the captain of the ninth team, I think he valued him. If......

Her face was crimson with the cold wind.

………………

After the New Year, after receiving an order from Wang Zishun, Li Zicheng began to withdraw from Xixiang County and went to Hancheng to prepare to enter Shanxi.

Zhu Shunming was reluctant to go north.

"My lord, it's not a good idea to go north to Hancheng." Zhu Shunming comforted: "Now that Jiannu has entered the Koujing Division, the armies of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, and Beizhili have all entered the King of Jingqin. The mountains are empty, and nature allows us to gallop. ”

"Can Jiannu stay in Kannai all the time? They will eventually go back to Liaodong. When the time comes, the trilateral armies will gather, and we will be the opponents of the border armies? ”

"It's better to go south, go to Huguang, Jiangxi, stay away from the place where the imperial court is heavily armed, establish a base area, accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity."

Li Zicheng laughed and said, "Brother Zhu, we northerners are not suitable for the water and soil in the south. Taking advantage of this opportunity, our Lao Li may be able to return to his hometown, and he can be regarded as honoring his ancestors. ”

Li Zicheng waved his hand to stop Zhu Shunming, and said with a straight face: "Brother, I don't say anything about how you train the army, but the action of the army is not to be ignored." You go back and prepare, and you will leave on time tomorrow, and there will be no mistake. ”

………………

Zhu Shunming's team is more than 200 people. In addition to the newly recruited 200 rebels, there are also 24 and a half family members, plus Old Man Zhu, Old Man Zhu's original partner Yuan, Concubine Liu (Zhu Shunming's biological mother), Concubine Gui and her daughter Zhu Lin'er, slave Old Man He's family of four, plus Ruyu, who has a high status, a total of 235 people.

The two hundred rebels had just finished training in the queue and standing in the military posture, and they were completely ineffective. The rest of the personnel, old and young, or women, are completely negligible in combat effectiveness.

Therefore, Zhu Shunming's ninth team followed the operation of the battalion and acted as a logistic.

The county seat of Xixiang was ransacked, everything that could be taken away was taken away, and the fire that could not be taken away was burned to the ground.

The unsustainable civilians had to be reduced to exiles and follow the actions of Li Zicheng's army.

Witnessing Xixiang County falling into a sea of fire, even Zhu Shunming, who had no memory of the familiar county, was a little gloomy.

This is the just peasant uprising movement that was advocated by later generations to deal a heavy blow to the feudal dynasty?

The team of tens of thousands of people meandered for dozens of miles, the donkeys neighed and the horses howled, the dust was flying, and the sky was boiling.

Zhu Shunming walked at the back of the line, staring at the team of homeless people who couldn't see the end at a glance.

"Young master, let's go! We'll be back. Ruyu rode on a gray mule, her expression equally heavy. However, as long as you follow the young master, the world is home everywhere.

"I'll come back again......" Zhu Shunming is like that sad and strong wolf.
