Chapter Seventy-Four: Ambition
Shunxiangbao teaching field is located in the south of the city three miles, covers an area of more than one hectare, the teaching field was built in the Yongle years, in the past is the place where the officers and soldiers of the whole house of thousands of households will perform autumn exercises.
The only good ones are the family members next to the officers and the officers, each team has eleven or two people, most of them are young and strong, and their armor and weapons are quite complete, but their array discipline is also sparse, a typical rabble.
Even the team of 50 soldiers led by Xu Lu, the former general Xu Zhongjun, were all family members, and they couldn't talk about any formation. These family members, who were placed in Jingbian Fort, were all unqualified sergeants, and they were placed in Shunxiang Fort and various guards in Daming, and they were already the most important combat force.
On the high platform of the martial arts hall of the teaching field, Wang Dou glanced at the Shunxiangbao sergeants under the field, his face was ugly, the corruption of the Shunxiangbao army was greatly beyond his expectations, can these soldiers fight? Wang Dou was deeply skeptical.
Wang Dou was wearing the silver and white iron armor that had been captured from the Houjin Army, which attracted a lot of attention from the audience, and he was the new defense officer inspecting the parade horses, and there was a lot of discussion below. Beside him, Lin Daofu and Zhenfu Chi Dacheng also stood with their swords.
Chi Dacheng had a straight face, his face unchanged for ten thousand years. Lin Daofu was dressed in iron armor, showing his tall and burly figure, at this time his face was also ugly, his eyes swept over the sergeants of Shunxiang Fort from time to time, and at the same time frequently looked at the sergeants on the side of Jingbian Fort.
Those are good soldiers, all young. Stout in stature and especially disciplined, they are clad in armor and stand with their blades in cold weather.
They were lined up in six horizontal lines, twelve men each, and in every way they looked, they were in a straight line. Although the weather was cold, the Shunxiangbao sergeants next to them were all shrinking their hands, they exhaled a thick white breath in their mouths, but they didn't move, letting the snowflakes float on their bodies, all of them looked serious and looked ahead.
In front of these groups of soldiers, Han Chao and Fu Zhong stood solemnly in armor, also motionless. Lian Xie Yike stood on the side of the clan. is also tense, and his expression is too serious.
This kind of military discipline and military appearance. The sergeant of Shunxiangbao next to him was terrified, especially some people who participated in the operation to exterminate the bandits some time ago. The expression was even more awe-inspiring.
Xu Lu stood on the right with his team of family members, looking at the smokers of Jingbian Fort next to him, and he felt very uncomfortable.
Speaking of which, there are only two words: food.
After listening to Lin Daofu's words, Wang Dou has been groaning, and after he asked those Shunxiang Fort soldiers to perform the formation and martial arts again, there was no expression on his face, but he said to Lin Daofu: "Lord Lin, you give the order, from tomorrow, I will inspect the forts under my rule!" ”
From October 18, Wang Dou asked Han Chao to lead the team to follow at night, and Han Zhong led several teams of soldiers to stay behind like Neiliu, who took the Shunxiang military system to drench the concave charm, and pacified Chi Dacheng, as well as Xu Lu and others, braved the severe cold, and inspected the subordinate forts one after another.
In addition to the two military forts of Dongjiazhuang and Huiyao Fort, there are also 11 forts under the jurisdiction of Shunxiang Fort, such as Zhouzhuang, Huzhuang, Chafang Fort, and Yizhuang. Among them, Ganzhuang Fort, Yazhou Fort, Stone Urn Fort, and Chadao Fort are the Tunbao under the jurisdiction of Huiyao Fort.
Not to mention the efforts of the officers of the various tun commanders, according to the situation seen by Wang Dou, the situation of each tun fort is very bad, the tun fields are abandoned, the ploughing cattle are thin, and a large number of tun households in the fort have fled, and the young and strong are fewer. Seeing these situations, Wang Dou couldn't even frown.
On October 20, Wang Dou led a group of people to Huiyao Fort, and Chang Zhengwei, the officer of Huiyao Fort, and Zhong Dayong, the officer of the team, respectfully greeted Wang Dou and his party.
The terrain of Huiyao Fort is important, located in Meiyu Qianhusuo, Mashuikou and Baoan Prefecture pass road, the fort is built on the hillside, the west is the Dongfang River, the terrain is dangerous. The circumference of the fort is one mile and two hundred and sixty steps, not covered with bricks, and the officers of the management team lead the army to defend with 50 people, and there are four piers under its jurisdiction.
There is only one street and a few alleys in the fort, and there are dozens of military households, perhaps Huiyao Fort is located in the hilly and alpine area in the central part of Baoan Prefecture. The reason for the lack of arable land is that the military households in this Huiyao Fort are poorer than Dongjiazhuang and Xinzhuang.
The so-called main street is just a wider dirt road, full of potholes, on both sides of the street are mostly some mud houses, thatched huts and other dilapidated buildings, and the road is mostly ragged, shivering with cold. There are only two shops in the fort, selling some grain, rice and miscellaneous goods.
The best building in the fort is the Baihu official hall, Chang Zhengsheng and Zhong Dayong couldn't entertain them with any good things, so they killed a pig to greet these big people from Shunxiang Fort.
Calculate that by the end of June next year, the Qing soldiers will enter the army, and the time is pressing.
On May 30, the ninth year of Chongzhen, Huangtaiji sent 100,000 soldiers from the Eight Banners of Azig to attack Ming. On 27 June, the Azig soldiers entered Xifengkou, Dushikou and other places by three routes, and met in Yanqing Prefecture, which is next to Baoan Prefecture. On September 8, Azig heard that he captured 179,820 men and animals of the Ming Kingdom, captured the nest of the Ming general army, and the Qing army returned with plunder.
This is a large-scale invasion, counting the time is running out, especially Baoan Prefecture is an important grain storage place in Xuanfu Town, when the Qing soldiers will definitely send troops to loot, how many Qing soldiers will appear under the Shunxiang Fort at that time? A thousand, or ten thousand?
Whether it is a rogue, or a Hulu, Wang Dou hates them from the bottom of his heart and looks down on them from the bottom of his heart! No matter whether you go in the past, now, or in the future, you will not consider the idea of surrendering from the thief, the soldiers are coming to the city, and the big deal is to die in a vigorous battle, rather than for the broken jade, not for the tile!
If you can't accept your fate? Since he came to this world, he has been working hard, from a penniless soldier to a current defender, all by himself, even at the last moment, Wang Dou will not give up.
Wang Dou is ambitious, and plans to train a strong army of 1,000 people before the Qing army comes next year, and if the money and food are not enough, he will rob it! At present, the Ming Dynasty is in turmoil, bandits are all over the ground, kill them, one can calm the people, and the other can raise the army, if they don't die, it will be their turn to die.
Looking at the direction of Koujiagou, Wang Dou exhaled, his future starts here.
