"Han Da, look at Shi Xin and Ma Guobin like that, tsk."

Gao Xiaosan yawned, straightening his robes while casually laughing with Han Xu.

In this tent, Gao Xiaosan and Han Xu, as well as Yang Guoyong, have some friendship, Han Xu is silent, people who are not familiar with him are afraid that he is a fool, when he first arrived in Shenyang and was incorporated into the Ming army, Han Xu was still observing and forbearing, which also made the teammates in the team not look at him in their eyes.

Han Xu tied his raw cowhide belt and replied with a smile: "Hehe, people walk the way of people, cats and dogs have the way of cats and dogs, don't care what you do." ”

Wang Dali said on the side: "Don't talk about idleness, hurry up." ”

Saying that, he glanced at Han Xu, Wang Dali always had some jealousy in his heart about this well-controlled little army, usually he wanted to find trouble with Han Xu, but Han Xu had always been obedient and didn't give him this opportunity.

He was an officer in the team because he was a distant relative of the guerrilla general in his headquarters, and he had no ability, and there was a person like Han Xu in the team, and Wang Dali was not happy in his heart.

Glancing at his subordinates, Wang Dali said again: "Everyone has made great efforts, I heard that a new master is coming to Shenyang, and when he left Beijing, he has urged the household department to pay the arrears, and we will not be hungry anymore." ”

Shi Xin said happily on the side: "Thanks to the fact that our team officers are the clansmen of the guerrilla adults, and if we have military rations, we will make up for them first." ”

Hearing this, Wang Dali also showed a smug face, waved his hand, and ordered everyone to leave quickly.

Since Nuerhachi raised troops, first captured Fushun and the surrounding forts, plundered more than 300,000 people and animals, destroyed Fushun Chengguan, and then returned to the division to strike, annihilated the main force of Liaozhen from Guangning, more than 10,000 Ming troops were killed from the general army below, and then pulled out the Yahu Pass and Qinghe Fort, and then captured Kaiyuan Tieling, the border wall barrier of Liaodong Town was almost completely lost, Shenyang and Liaoyang such important towns in the belly became the border, the original strategy Yang Hao was punished, the new general soldier Li Ruzhen was cowardly and incompetent, there were only more than 30,000 officers and soldiers left in Liaozhen, and the war horses and the ordnance accumulated in more than 100 years were lost. Not only did there be no ordnance, the household department had been in arrears for several months, the officers and soldiers lacked food and clothing, the people's hearts were also very fluctuating, and some people went crazy at every turn, and when the Jiannu came, hundreds of people and thousands of people fled with them, and in the Liaoshen area, there were people fleeing to western Liaoning every day, and the Ming army stationed in Fengji Fort was a number of remnants gathered here, and after the defeat of the army, there was no pay and equipment, and only one meal a day, and the military spirit was of course seriously unstable.

The circumference of Fengji Fort is less than two miles, and there are more than 500 barracks and houses in the fort, and generals at all levels and their families live in the fort, and there are many gentry who have fled to live in the fort, and these people will slowly move to Liaoyang, and the vacated houses will be given to the small army to live.

In addition to the barracks is the official house, the warehouse, but Han Xu and the others live outside the fort, when they enter the fort, they look at the few restaurants and shops like countrymen entering the city, and their eyes are full of novelty.

Han Xu also looked at this fortress city, which was too unpleasant for him. There was no decent defense on the outside of the castle, and there was chaos inside, and the stinking garbage alone showed what kind of people lived here...... Can a person who can't even dispose of sewage and garbage control a military fort for defense? Han Xu was deeply skeptical of this.

The Ming army in the city was the same as him, gray felt hats, gray jackets, empty-handed, either holding rusty knives or bald spears, and the power was used as a stick, everyone was yellow and thin, and their eyes were dull, like groups of beggars wandering inside and outside the fort.

There is no training, lack of food and clothing, no weapons and war horses, there is no war plan on weekdays, the generals are still drinking and having fun every day, you invite me today, I will sit tomorrow, the aroma of wine and meat came from those official houses, the small army greedily sniffed those fragrances with their noses, and saliva flowed wantonly.

It was a shame to stay in such an army, but for Han Xu, it was also a rare opportunity, if it weren't for this group of rotten people around him, how could he have a chance to rise to the top?

When he arrived at the warehouse, Wang Dali, the team officer, issued a voucher, and then moved out dozens of bales of wheat and black beans in the warehouse, and the surrounding yards were full of hay bundles.

"Han has a big cart."

When everyone entered the fort city, they pushed a few chicken carts in, this car has a belt behind the handlebar, which can hold five or six bags of grain, and when pushing, it all depends on the combination of arm strength and waist strength and leg strength of the person in charge of the car, after loading the car, Wang Dali glanced at Han Xu and asked him to be the head of the car.

"The big guy is coming to push the cart." Shi Xin was also shouting on the side.

Han Xu didn't make a sound, silently pushed the cart and left.

Seeing his performance, Wang Dali nodded, and Shi Xin and Ma Guobin also laughed.

Han Xu is a foreigner, and he hasn't shown any strength, so it's right to be bullied.

Listening to the laughter, Gao Xiaosan and Yang Guoyong were a little unhappy on their faces, but Han Xu still strode forward with the meteor's cart. He is the tallest in this group of Ming troops, although he has lost a lot of weight and is stronger than these people, the nutrition and physique of later generations are not comparable to these people now, not to mention anything else, there are very few poor people in this era who have teeth, and the common thing is that there is night blindness with uneven teeth and malnutrition, and in terms of physical strength, there is no one in a hundred people who can compare with him.

Gao Xiaosan shouted in the back: "Han Da, slow down." ”

Yang Guoyong also said: "That's it, take it easy." ”

There are three carts, in addition to Han Xu, there are Gao Xiaosan and Yang Guoyong, Gao Xiaosan and Yang Guoyong are more clever, Yang Guoyong is short and strong, like a stone, the three of them are not liked by Wang Dali, and the hard work of pushing the cart falls on the shoulders of these three people.

"Han Dajia," Gao Xiaosan said softly: "Shi Xin and Ma Guobin, the two dogs, are too bad things, they always deal with a few of us, and they have a chance to get them." ”

Han Xu shook his head and said, "There is no matter what matters, there is no need to make a move, what is the matter with such a villain." ”

Gao Xiaosan only bragged to him, and whispered to Yang Guoyong: "Han Da looks tall and strong, but his courage is too small. ”

Although Yang Guoyong did not speak, a look of approval appeared on his face.

The rest of the team was either a sycophant like Shi Xin, or they looked numb, just watching the three of them push the cart forward.

At this time, there were also a lot of Ming soldiers pushing carts around, all of which were grains such as black beans and wheat, and everyone's originally numb faces had some joy.

When they arrived at the station, unloading the grain, Wang Dali took two people to carry two bags of wheat to Qianzong, of course, this fine grain was paid tribute to the officials, and the small army could only leave black beans and a small amount of wheat.

When Wang Dali came back, Shi Xin took a few people to steam out the wheat rice with a big iron pot, the wheat was mixed with beans, and a pot of vegetables was cooked, and some coarse salt was sprinkled in it, and everyone used a black pottery bowl to fill a bowl, and when Wang Dali came back, he opened his legs and sat firmly on the high place of the soil slope, and Shi Xin took a big bowl to the team officer like a treasure, and after Wang Dali started, everyone dared to move the chopsticks.

Han Xu finished eating the bowl in a few bites, got up and went to the pot to fill the rice, Shi Xin saw it and shouted: "Han Da, what do you want to do, this rice is only one bowl per person, don't you know?" ”

Han Xu turned around and stared at this person, his expression was still calm, and he only said in a deep voice: "I just pushed so much grain today, and Xiao Sanguo and I have contributed the most, so what about eating one more bowl?" ”

Yang Guoyong said: "That's it, we have more strength." ”

Gao Xiaosan didn't dare to speak, but he nodded frequently.

Han Xu brought out three people with a word, Shi Xin was also stunned, Wang Dali looked at the situation here, and said: "It's really called Huazi, a bowl of rice is worth fighting for like this, let's eat it." ”

Han Xu smiled slightly, he didn't say this, Yang Guoyong and Gao Xiaosan glanced at Han Xu with admiring eyes, and hurriedly ran to each of them to come back with a bowl of rice.

At one time, everyone finished eating, and each went to the river to wash the dishes, and at this time, a large amount of dust rose on the official road, and Wang Dali, who was originally sitting in the basket, was taken aback and jumped up from the ground.

Everyone was also afraid that the Donglu was coming, and the expressions on their faces were very nervous, Han Xu's eyes were excellent, and he could see from a distance that the other party was wearing the Ming army, and when he got closer, he saw that the flag in front of him was the flag of the general army, and then there was a big banner with the word "Li" followed by the flag of the general soldier, followed by more than 200 cavalry, it was obvious that they were all family members and personal soldiers, after several fiascos in Liaozhen, the war horses were almost lost, and there were few generals who could have such pomp.

At this time, the sound of trumpets and cannons also sounded in the fort, and the generals of the large number wore bright helmets and bright armor, and rushed out of the fort with their own soldiers under their respective flags.

When the general soldier got closer, there were already kneeling people outside the fort, the leading generals and guerrillas were all kneeling, Han Xu was also kneeling on the ground, he was not as nervous and scared as others, he still raised his head and continued to observe.

The chief officer is a man of about forty, he can't see his figure on the horse, he wears a bright helmet, his body is an expensive mountain armor, and there is a cloak behind him, purple embroidery, Han Xu can't understand what the pattern is, a sword at his waist, the hilt of the sword seems to be inlaid with precious gems, under the light, shining.

In addition to the costume, the chief officer himself is lackluster, with a black round face, a short beard on the chin, fleshy eyes, no eyes, as if he has not slept well, and the appearance of riding a horse is not related to the heroic force, when he got closer, the general soldier jumped off the horse, and helped the generals to help up, and after the generals saw the salute, they began to laugh and go to the fort.

After a while, a few cavalrymen holding red flags rushed out of the fort, riding horses and running everywhere outside the fort, shouting: "There are no strong men who can ride horses and shoot arrows, Mr. Li recruited as a new brave, three meals are full, there is meat for each meal, and the monthly salary is one or two eight!" ”
