When the Ming army and the Qing army on the Songjin front line fought brutally, on August 3, the 14th year of Chongzhen, the new Yongning City garrison official hall. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ{ }

The hall was crowded, and in the wide hall, at this time, the black pressure was full of businessmen from all the cities on the East Road, and even all the roads in Xuanfu Town, Zhencheng, Datong, Taiyuan, etc., there were guarantors on the East Road, and a large number of foreign businessmen who had shown goodwill and friendship over the years also came to the new Yongning City.

In the past, businessmen from all over the world, who only had abacus, were good at calculation, and made money in harmony showed a rare sense of fierceness today. Many people are dressed in strong suits, wearing hats, swords on their waists, and the people standing beside them are all elite family guards.

Among these guards, many of them are still the swordsmen assessed in the newly established "Grandmaster Hall" on the East Road, they are all sharp, with a waist card with exquisite lines pinned to their waists, and two big swordsmen written on the seal, and the number mark of the Swordsman Hall, etc., which significantly show their identity.

Although there is a one-year inspection period, most of these swordsmen are in reserve status, but with such a waist card, they are respected wherever they go, and they are also very popular with merchants from all over the world.

Of course, their remuneration is also very high, and when idlers can't afford to hire them, they can bring a few swordsmen with them, which is also a symbol of status, just like the legendary Kunlun slave in history.

These swordsmen, originally mostly from all over the Ming Dynasty, were "folk heroes", and their own martial arts were extraordinary, and after passing the assessment, they also obtained armor similar to that of the East Road B Army, of course, most of them chose chain mail.

There are also all kinds of weapons that are good at being used by each person, and these weapons are all produced by the department of the East Road Military Factory that specializes in making weapons for the Jingbian army who do not collect weapons at night. The most Seiko though. The sophisticated armor and weapons made them even more powerful.

Of course, they are called swordsmen. In fact, the weapons used by each person are different, such as swords, guns, swords, halberds, strong bows and crossbows. At this time, the weapons held by the swordsmen in the hall were like an exhibition of eighteen weapons.

In addition to the swordsmen, there were some rarer swordsmen employed by the merchants, who carried bird guns or hand guns.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty was in the era of alternating hot and cold weapons, although the rate of civilian use of firearms was higher than that of the army, but the original "folk heroes" were still accustomed to using cold weapons, and the number of gunners who passed the "Grandmaster Hall" assessment was much less than that of swordsmen. [ ]

As the merchants gather more and more. The hall is even more crowded, and if you have acquaintances, you can't help but say hello. They also inquired into each other about the purpose of this trip. A lot of people expect something big to happen, and everyone is excited. It's apprehension again.

In the hall, Lai Mancheng, vice president of Zhendong Commercial Bank, is the focus of everyone's attention.

After the 12th year of Chongzhen, Wang Dou bloodily suppressed the powerful businessmen on the East Road, the local forces were almost swept away, Lai Mancheng and others took the opportunity to stand out.

And Lai Mancheng's connections are also very strong, his uncle is Xu Zucheng, the guard of the security guard at this time, he himself is also friendly with the loyal and brave uncle, and he is also in a good relationship with several generals of the Jingbian Army. Especially when Wang Dou was in Shunxiang Fort, he hugged Wang Dou's thigh, and with the improvement of Wang Dou's status, the friendship between the two sides became deeper and deeper.

At many critical times, Lai Mancheng also stood on the right side, the more the industrial power became bigger, needless to say, the prominence of this identity was needless to say, many foreign businessmen who arrived on the East Road, one of the first targets to visit, including Lai Mancheng.

So when Lai Mancheng led the huge group of nurses into the hall, almost all the merchants got up to greet him, and at the same time expressed surprise at the change in his image, wearing a heavy iron armor, and resisting a Qinglong Yanyue knife, can he afford this small body? …,

It can be seen that after Lai Mancheng sat down, he was also greatly relieved, and at this time he and Tian Changguo, the head of the shogunate's business department, were smiling and laughing, and they didn't know what they were talking about. However, it is obvious that Lai Mancheng does not know what the purpose of this trip is, although he is also good friends with Tian Changguo, but Tian Changguo cannot take the risk of revealing confidential rules and tell him about the matter.

At that time, Wen Fangliang, Gao Shiyin and Shen Shiqi, the three generals, as well as some Jingbian military praise paintings, strode into the garrison hall.

For a while, the whole hall was in a sensation, all the merchants got up to salute, Wen Fangliang smiled and grinned, nodding to everyone from time to time, Gao Shiyin and Shen Shiqi held their heads high and swaggered in, disdainful of these merchants.

Tian Changguo, who was still skinny, greeted him, and invited all the generals to take a seat with a smile, and he was responsible for the liaison between the Jingbian Army and the merchants on the East Road.

Wen Fangliang sat in the first seat, although he and Gao Shiyin are both generals, but he is the ambassador of the General Staff Department, and in terms of official position, he is one line higher than Gao Shiyin.

Looking at the merchants gathered in the hall, Wen Fangliang's expression slowly became serious, and he said: "Everyone knows that at the end of June, the general led the army to Liaodong, and in the area of Songjin, he fought with the Emperor of the Tartars. In this war, the merchants of our East Road are still loyal, and President Zheng of the Zhendong Commercial Bank led many bosses and shopkeepers to support and transport food and wages diligently. This is very good, it proves that my East Road, Shinong Industry and Commerce, are all for the country, know the interests of the family and the country, and work together with one heart, and the same is true for you today! ”

Seeing the silence below, Wen Fangliang continued: "According to the strategy set by the general and the general before the expedition, our Jingbian army is divided into two routes, one is led by the general, fighting in Liaodong, and the other is us, attacking from this fortress, outflanking the Tartars in Jinzhou on both sides!" ”

Boom, like a spring thunder, the whole hall was a sensation, although everyone guessed that there would be a big move, but they didn't expect the scene to be so big, for a while, the hall was in a hurry, and everyone was excited to talk about it.

Wen Fangliang clapped his hands, signaling everyone in the hall to calm down, a smile appeared on his face, and he continued: "Everyone, since the change of Tumubao, my Ming army has been difficult to get out of the fortress, so many years have passed, and I don't know what has become outside the fortress, even Qi Shuai back then, and it is not far from the side wall. ”

"This expedition, our army, a total of two battalions of Jingbian Army, as well as a battalion of loyal and righteous army, plus the strength of the shopkeepers, will reach 10,000 soldiers and horses, it is the first time that Emperor Rui came, the scale is huge, attracting the attention of the world!"

There was a loud discussion in the hall again, Wen Fangliang smiled, and said: "Since the Han Dynasty, after Huo Hu rode the wolf Juxu, how many Han family sons and daughters yearn to be like Huo Quai, Wei Qing and the two generals, proud and ambitious, and the history of Danqing. And after today, all of you here will be the same as my old Wen, and you will be famous in history, and you will be famous in history. ”

Everyone was even more excited, many people shouted with joy, Lai Mancheng suddenly stood up with his Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and shouted loudly: "The wind blows the frost and the seaweed wither, and the muscles are strong and strong." There were 300,000 soldiers of the Han family, and the general was also the leader of Huo Yao. The meteor white feather is inserted around the waist, and the sword flower autumn lotus light is out of the box. The heavenly soldiers shine on the snow under the jade pass, and the captured arrows shoot golden armor like sand. The clouds, dragons, winds and tigers are all handed back, and the enemy can be destroyed when Taibai enters the moon. The enemy can be destroyed, the head is destroyed, and the intestines of the beard are involved in the blood. Hanging Hu in the sky, burying Hu Zi plugged around. Hu no one, Han Daochang ......"

Everyone in the hall applauded loudly, saying that Li Bai's poem was not well written, and President Lai sang the same as the occasion, and many people even pulled out their weapons and waved them in response.

Seeing that everyone was emotional, Wen Zanhua nodded slightly, and Gao Shiyin whispered in Shen Shiqi's ear: "Old Wen, this kid is very good at talking, and the emotions of those businessmen were mobilized all of a sudden." ”…,

Shen Shiqi agreed with Gao Shiyin's opinion: "It does speak." ”

Of course, after cheering and excited, some businessmen cautiously asked: "Dare to ask General Wen, are we going to fight all the way to Jinzhou?" I don't know if there are many Tartars along the way, is it good to fight? ”

Wen Fangliang smiled and said: "This is reassuring, during the Jinzhou War, the Tartar Emperor evacuated the young and strong of all the tribes outside the Saiwai, and most of the tribes of all sizes only left the old and weak women and children, even if there were some young and strong defenders left, didn't I have the Jingbian Army?" ”

Everyone's eyes lit up, in this way, isn't this expedition equivalent to a young man bullying Mengsheng's little doll? There is no risk, not to mention, the harvest along the way, I'm afraid......

Immediately, someone shouted indignantly: "For so many years, long before the Manchurian Tatars made a fortune, those Mongolian Tatars have been constantly entering the army and looting, and the people in the border towns, I don't know how many people have died, and now it is our turn to kill them and rob them." ”

The hall was boiling with a voice: "Yes, yes, tooth for tooth, blood for blood, blood for blood." ”

"How much blood they let Daming shed, I will pay them back a hundred times."

"Kill, burn, rob!"

"Chickens and dogs don't leave ......"

Wen Fangliang and Tian Changguo and the others looked at each other and smiled, before the battle, the general and the staff department made a plan, which was a thunderbolt method, and the Bodhisattva's heart would not be obvious in the future. However, the Tartars outside the Saiwai took refuge in Dongnu and fought for the tiger, and it was impossible not to pay some price.

Besides, the Tartars outside the fortress, for thousands of years, have been afraid of power but not virtue, fearing power, and not knowing etiquette, so regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, they will be beaten up first. With blood and tears, let them cry and wail bitterly, pain into the bone marrow, fear into the heart and lungs, and see if they dare to take refuge in Dongnu in the future.

Therefore, this time out of the plug is destined to be a river of blood, and countless Hu people are crying. Presumably, after this war, those Mongolian tribes outside the Seychelles will also awaken the memory of the Ming military power in the past, and adjust the policy of the Qing State.

Of course, Wang Dou did not prohibit the Jingbian army from killing people, but he absolutely forbade them to commit adultery, which was too easy to slack military discipline. Moreover, it is also very easy to commit venereal diseases, especially those who do not bathe all year round, after this kind of thing in history, the non-combat attrition has been as high as several percent, and Wang Dou will not allow it.

Therefore, the reason why he asked all the soldiers who entered the Jingbian Army to marry wives was that they had a small family, and psychologically turned into adults, not to mention that when they matured, it was easier for them to fight for their careers. The second is that with the comfort of a woman, you can also meet your physiological needs, and you will not be angry and do things that you shouldn't do.

Three is more obscure, a bit of a little bit of making their family a hostage, of course, nine out of nine people can't see this. The sergeants will only be grateful, as soon as they enter the army, a little lady will come to the door, and how difficult is it to marry a wife in the past?
