"What, the troops deserted?" Standing on the battlement of the Great Wall, Sun Yuan frowned: "Who is the person who escaped?" ”

He was also strange in his heart, the soldiers of the Ningxiang Army were simple: the guards of Ningxiang and the prisoners of the former peasant army. These people can be said to be completely attached to themselves, and they are both prosperous and lossless.

Moreover, the current Ming Dynasty implements a strict hukou system, and there is no road guide issued by the government and the yamen, and the deserters will be caught by the local inspection department if they can't go a hundred miles.

This is the foot of the Son of Heaven, the first good area, unlike Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, the basic organization of the Ming Dynasty government is still there, has not yet eroded to the point of being out of control.

Besides, after the troops were stationed in Xuanfu Town, the officers and men in the army were all promoted, and it can be said that everyone was happy, and some soldiers were already thinking about bringing their families from the south and settling down in the capital. Sun Yuan didn't understand why someone would give up the Ningxiang army and his birthday, but wanted to flee thousands of miles back to Jiangnan.

It has been a year and a half since Ningxiang was stationed in the Bohai Institute on the fourth day of the tenth year of the Lunar New Year of Chongzhen

。 In the past year and a half, Sun Yuan grew a beard like the ancients. Probably because of the cleanliness of modern people, he has a short beard, and only a shallow pinch on his upper lips, but even so, it still makes him feel very uncomfortable. However, there is no way to do it: in this era, only eunuchs do not have beards. The hair and skin of the body are obtained from the parents, and there can be no damage in the slightest. If you shave it shaved and shaved, you won't be laughed at?

Because of his beard, after another year of wind and frost in the north, his face became dark and rough, and this frown showed a trace of majesty.

"Yes, someone escaped." Shao Wei's face turned red with shame, and he looked humiliated: "The person who escaped is from the capital city." ”

"It's no wonder that the people of the capital are there." Sun Yuan suddenly realized that the Ningxiang army only had about 2,000 people in total, and the strength was insufficient. According to real historical records, in the autumn of this year, Jiannu will invade the Ming Dynasty for the third time. To put it mildly, he is also gearing up to do a vote in this unprecedented battle, make some merits, and get promoted and make a fortune. It is better to get an officer such as a general soldier, and get a territory away from the war for his subordinates to recuperate.

It's just that the strength of the Ningxiang Army is really weak. And this time, there were at least 100,000 people in Jiannu, of which about 20,000 or 30,000 were Jianzhou Eight Banners. Two thousand people alone are not enough. Therefore, when the army was stationed in Bohai, Sun Yuan thought about expanding the army day and night.

However, the Bohai Institute is purely a military stronghold, and there is no population in the area under its jurisdiction. And the people of the capital have high vision, and they look down on the rude and unpromising big-headed soldiers. Therefore, in the past year, there are not many recruits that the Ningxiang Army can recruit, and most of them are homeless and homeless, and the total number is no more than two hundred. Therefore, the expansion plan of the Ningxiang Army did not go smoothly, and the army still maintained the size of more than 2,000 people.

After saying this, Sun Yuan's heart moved, and he couldn't help asking, "It can't be Liu Ming, right?" ”

Speaking of this Liu Ming, Sun Yuan was still very impressed. This man was the first person he took the initiative to come to serve after he started leading troops. Moreover, this person has studied in a private school for a few years before, and it is said that he has passed the government examination, but unfortunately he can't get into Xiucai. This person is also very clever and a rare intellectual in the army.

An army without culture is a stupid army, and Sun Yuan still attaches great importance to this kind of soldier who can read and write, and also trains Liu Ming as a future middle-level officer

。 Therefore, put this person to Shao Wei, prepare to exercise for a period of time, and wait until he sees blood on the battlefield, he can be of great use, which is also a care for Shao Wei's brother-in-law.

But he didn't want to, the first deserter in the Ningxiang Army turned out to be him.

Shao Wei lowered his head: "It's him." ”

"What, the deserter turned out to be Liu Ming!" Chen Tieshan, the military judge next to him, was furious and scolded: "Shaowei, the good soldiers you brought, return my soldiers and cadres!" ”

Because of his high level of education, this Liu Ming has been selected into the night school for key training a few days ago, and Chen Tieshan is also an instructor in the night school on weekdays, and he also admires this person very much. When he heard that he had become a deserter, he was immediately annoyed.

What was Shao Wei's previous task, he was reprimanded by Chen Tieshan, and he also became angry, and shouted: "**** judge, you admire that Liu Ming, we all know it, but it's a pity that you have lost your eyes." Although this birdman has been reading for a few years, he is a lazy and playful waste, and he can't even walk in a queue. This kind of person goes to the battlefield, that is, cannon fodder. ”

"Military law is ruthless, Shao Wei, our responsibility will be calculated later." Chen Tieshan left Shao Wei behind, and Sen Ran said to Sun Yuan: "General, please send two soldiers out with the last general, and within three days, the deserter will be tied back to the barracks." ”

Sun Yuan shook his head: "Everyone is gone, maybe they have entered the capital at this moment, the sea of people is vast, how can I find it?" The responsibility for this lies with the officers. ”

"Yes, General." Chen Tieshan's face was blank, and he was about to announce military law.

At this time, a soldier ran up to the city and bowed his hand to Sun Yuanyi: "General, there is a person from the capital who has come to join the army." ”

Shao Wei waved his hand angrily and said angrily: "Go, go, our Ningxiang army and the waiter can't afford to be Uncle Jingpiao, so we won't accept it." ”

The soldier had a strange face, but he didn't leave, and only looked at Sun Yuan with his eyes.

Sun Yuan wondered in his heart: "What's wrong?" ”

The soldier: "General, we don't plan to bring this person to see the general, but they won't leave." also said that it was recommended by the deserter Liu Ming, saying that Liu Ming had important matters at home and had to leave the army. As Liu Ming's teacher, he is willing to come over to replace Liu Ming to serve the country and the general, and as for the military law that Liu Ming should receive, he is willing to bear it, and only hopes to stay in the army and kill the Tartars

。 ”

"Liu Ming's teacher......" Everyone looked at each other, a deserter ran away, and even recommended his teacher to come over to replace him, why does this sound so ridiculous?

After the soldier said this, he said, "And this person is so strange, and the villain doesn't know whether to attract the general or not, so he came to tell him." ”

Sun Yuan: "What's weird?" ”

Soldier: "First, this person is too ugly, and his face is full of scars, just like General Tang Wenxing's chest; The second is that this person is a bit old. ”

Sun Yuan: "It doesn't matter if you have a scar or something, a soldier, who doesn't have a little wound on your body." Old...... How old? ”

Soldier: "It looks like he's in his forties, this man's face is ruined, and the villain can't see it really." ”

At this time, someone in the city suddenly shouted: "The above is General Sun Taichu, my name is Guan Xuan, the word Zisheng, come to replace Liu Ming and serve the general." This shout is full of words, and it comes from afar, but it seems to be in your ears.

His shouting made the soldiers of the city startled at the same time, and they all shouted in unison: "Stop, how can General Sun allow you to make noise here?" ”

Sun Yuan suddenly became curious about this person: "Please ask this old gentleman to come up!" ”

After a while, a scholar who was so ugly that he was cold breathed walked up to the city, only waved at Sun Yuan slightly, and stood there.

The generals looked at him intently for a long time, and suddenly "poofed" and burst into laughter.

That's right, this man is ugly, old, and very thin.

He stood alone on the edge of the battlement, like a stick, blown by the wind, and his clothes fluttered as if he were about to be rolled up. Moreover, the feet of this Guan Xuan are too thin, like hemp stalks, and they are about to make it easier to walk, and they are thinly tied with leggings with strips of cloth, and when they stand there, they are like a compass when a craftsman draws a picture.

Such an old and thin person also wants to be a soldier, what is the place where I am Ningxiang Iron Army?

That's right, this person is Mr. Guan who tells stories in the teahouse in Beijing.
