Weave, weave, weave flower baskets, weave a flower basket on Nanshan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoNanshan is full of red peonies, and the flowers are blooming brightly. Silver Dandan, silver peony, silver peony that which hayi hi ......"

At this time, it was the six women who were rescued by the Shun Township Army in Wu'an County, Zhangde Prefecture that day, they were wearing mandarin duck battle jackets, and under the accompaniment of vocal music, they were jumping and jumping, and they were twisting their bodies exaggeratedly.

On all four sides of them, there were soldiers of the Shunxiang Army, all sitting on the ground, and Wang Dou and the generals were also sitting in front of them to watch. Bursts of laughter came, and in everyone's words, they were full of admiration for the singing and dancing of these women.

These women were all in their teens, and they were in the prime of their youth, and Han women had always been good at singing and dancing, both in the north and in the south. After these women were rescued into the Shunxiang Army, they were temporarily arranged to join Xie Youcheng's troupe.

Since the ninth year of Chongzhen, Xie Youcheng's Yuhuangge Opera Troupe has made great contributions to the public opinion propaganda of the Shunxiang Army, and the various repertoire they have compiled and performed have been welcomed by military households all over the East Road. This time, Xie Youcheng's troupe also accompanied the army, bringing spiritual comfort to the soldiers of the Shunxiang Army.

After these women were rescued, they came to Kaifeng Mansion with the army, in fact, Wang Dou intended to arrange them into the city of Kaifeng Mansion, but these women were looking for death and life, and they were unwilling to leave the army.

In the Shunxiang army these days, they have seen very clearly, the army is full of food and clothing, and there is often meat to eat, no matter the generals and sergeants treat them kindly, this day is like heaven, leaving this army, where to find such a good place? I'm even afraid that I won't be able to live in the future.

They stayed in the Shunxiang Army with one heart, natural disasters and man-made disasters in Henan, rogue gangsters were rampant, and the prefectures and counties were constantly plundered and trapped, and there was indeed no place to be safe. Save people to the end, stay in the army for the time being, bring them back to the East Road in the future, and then make a difference.

Considering their physical strength, it is not suitable to enter the baggage thousand, and finally Wang Dou arranged them into the military drama troupe, singing a song and dancing on weekdays, and boosting the morale of the soldiers, which is also good. Not to mention, they also have quite a lot of music and dance cells, this local folk song and dance in Henan performed brilliantly, arousing bursts of applause from the sergeants.

Wang Dou also smiled and nodded, watching the soldiers sit in a circle and in a circle, although everyone applauded and the atmosphere was warm, they still maintained a strict military appearance and clear eyes. Also, the military discipline of the Shunxiang army is strict, and the sergeants have families, and many people have a wife and several concubines in the family, not that they have not tasted the taste of men and women, and they will not be confused when they see a woman, and they will mess up the military discipline.

The silk and bamboo drum music is melodious, Wang Dou listens to it leisurely, and in later generations, he likes traditional folk dance songs, and he is not interested in the songs and dances of overseas countries.

Just as he was enjoying the local folk songs and polls, suddenly Xie Yike walked up to Wang Dou and said in a low voice: "General, Chen Yongfu, deputy chief soldier of Henan, led the generals of Kaifeng to visit. ”

……

The sound of hooves sounded, an ironclad cavalry slowly went to Kaifeng City, in front of the army, Wang Dou and Chen Yongfu walked side by side, Chen Yongfu pointed out the scenery near Kaifeng for Wang Dou from time to time. Obviously, he was a little absent-minded, and he didn't seem to have woken up from what he had seen and heard in the military camp in Shun Township.

At this time, Chen Yongfu was still confused, Wang Dou said that he was ordered by the Ministry of War to lead more than 3,000 troops to Sichuan to suppress Zhang Xianzhong's thieves, but Chen Yongfu didn't understand, why did there be nearly 10,000 elites in his army?

Wang Dou said that there were 4,000 soldiers with the army, Chen Yongfu couldn't believe it, those were the soldiers? Are the soldiers so elite that everyone wears armor? Even if it is his own family camp, he cannot wear armor all of them. Seem...... In terms of military appearance, his own family battalion is far inferior to Wang Dou's soldiers.

Could it be that these people are all Wang Dou's family members? If these people are all family members, Wang Dou actually has 7,000 family members? He's just a general.

If those people are not family members, why are these battalion soldiers as elite as family members, or even more than others?

Chen Yongfu's head was a little unturned, Wang Dou's reputation, in fact, he had also heard of it, the battle of Tongzhou, the battle of Julu, the battle of Pinggu, the emperor personally crowned the three armies, and his reputation was illustrious for a while.

It turned out that Chen Yongfu thought that this reputation must contain water, because as far as Chen Yongfu knew, Wang Dou fought several times, all of which were fought with the general army of Xuanda Town, and he must have followed behind to take advantage. However, what he saw and heard at this time greatly surprised Chen Yongfu, just looking at Wang Doujun's military appearance, this victory ......

The elite of the nine sides, worthy of the name, Wang Dou and a general are so strong, so how strong will Yang Guozhu and others in Xuanzhen be? And the nine-sided army has been repeatedly frustrated in front of Dongnu, and the combat power of those Tartars ......,

Not to mention Chen Yongfu's different thoughts, Wang Dou was also secretly observing Chen Yongfu and the guards behind him.

Chen Yongfu is the traditional Ming old army, the armor on his body is quite old, the guards behind him, wearing a hood, wearing waist-length armor or armor, these are mostly placket cotton armor, only to the shoulders, revealing the red jacket of the arms, like a breastplate.

Obviously, the Ming troops in the heart of the Central Plains cannot be as elite as the nine-sided army, not to mention the iron armor, it is as rare as the cotton armor of the whole body. The sergeants guarding the head of Kaifeng City, more of them wore red hats, wore coats, or simply green clothes and skirts, and did not even have armor.

Moreover, the military uniforms, shoes and socks are tattered, which is even more embarrassing than the nine-sided army that Wang Dou has seen, and the combat power of the Ming army can be seen from this equipment alone. And Li Zicheng, in the last few years of Chongzhen, he repeatedly defeated such an army, and he never encountered it again.

With such a thought, under the guidance of Chen Yongfu, Wang Dou and his party entered Kaifeng City, Zhangde Mansion, Weihui Mansion, and people were eating people everywhere. Although Kaifeng Mansion is better, it is still full of displaced people, with many disaster victims gathered, and the streets and alleys are full of hungry people.

On the contrary, it is the luxury mansions that can be seen everywhere in the city, and what impresses Wang Dou is that there are many palaces and archways in the city. The streets and alleys, the archway is row upon row, there are the king's, the squire's, the city can not be counted.

Passing through those mansions, you can hear the sound of silk and bamboo and laughter coming from time to time, but outside the high walls, the victims are desolate and miserable. The contrast between the lives of the wealthy and the wealthy is heaven and the lives of the common people is hell may have aroused the greatest anger among those who live on the streets.

In addition to these, there are many officials in Kaifeng City, and the prosperity of business also surprised Wang Dou. According to Chen Yongfu's introduction, the most prosperous places in Kaifeng City are the large and small mountain goods streets, bell towers, drum towers, and the first area of Dayu. Here, there are merchants from all over the Ming Dynasty, and there are all the commercial goods that can be imagined.

In particular, there are a large number of liquor shops and hotels here, and all kinds of high-end liquor shops emerge in an endless stream, and they are full of friends every day. When everyone tastes the delicacies of the mountains and seas, they can also summon a cappella prostitute to serve them, and they can have any kind of woman they want.

The Shunxiang army camped in the area of Xinghuaying in the southwest of Kaifeng City, from the suburbs to Xiguan, all the way is the tavern, the hotel is door-to-door, after entering the city, the prosperity is more unimaginable, as brilliant as the fireworks bloom.

Wang Dou sat silently on his horse, he knew that in the near future, a monstrous flood would destroy everything in the city, and the prosperity in front of him would become a thing of the past.

In front of Wang Dou's eyes, those noisy crowds, their expressions were either happy or sad at this time, each of them was different, but most of them would not exist in this world in the future. But it is undeniable that the Bianren are strong, Li Zicheng came to the city three times, stormed Kaifeng, these people in front of them, citizens, merchants, scholars, and even prostitutes, are fully involved in defending the city, the martyrs are in the generals, loyal and brave in the people, and they are not false.

Looking at everything in front of me, a sense of historical pathos came to my heart, maybe it was fate, the survival of Kaifeng City several times, all related to floods, Qin attacked Wei, broke the water to irrigate the beam, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was a flood that destroyed the city, and during the Anti-Japanese War, it was also a flood......

Wang Dou couldn't help but be a little stupid, it seemed that Chen Yongfu's voice beside him was thousands of miles away.

At this time, Wang Dou entered Kaifeng City, and Xie Yike led a team of sword and shield soldiers and Lu Mi Gunmen to escort them, all of whom wore iron armor and rode horses on their waists. While they were marching through the streets, the surrounding Kaifeng people were also looking at the army, and they were judging with the vicious eyes of the people of the Central Plains Provincial City, and the whispers of the local accent kept coming.

"Dejin, where did these military masters come from?"

"Who is that general, Mr. Chen personally accompanies him, and he seems to be a big man."

"The guns on the backs of those military masters are so long, have you ever seen them?"

"It's definitely not a three-eyed gun, it should be a bird's gun, but the bird's gun doesn't seem to be that long."

……

"It's the Dingguo general Wang Dou......"

A voice suddenly sounded: "Do you see the banner of the king's character?" It is the recognition of the flag of General Wang of Xuanfu Town, fortunately, I witnessed the true face of General Wang today, and I only heard of Mr. Storyteller in the past. ”

This voice sounded suddenly, but Wang Dou laughed secretly in his heart, this accent was obviously the sound of the east intersection of Xuanfu Town.

Like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, the surrounding voices sounded one after another: "Is it General Wang of the Giant Deer War and the Pinggu War?" I heard that he killed the head of the Tartar and fled, his loyalty and righteousness are unparalleled, and the emperor personally crowned the three armies, but I didn't expect to see it today. ”

"I heard that General Wang led 7,000 troops to come, and he was as good as a man in front of him, if General Wang assisted in guarding Kaifeng Luoyang, my Bianren would not be afraid of thieves."

"General Wang, a good man, Shunxiang Army, good."

The dense layers of thumbs stretched out, and Wang Dou smiled and arched his hand on the horse.

Chen Yongfu glanced at Wang Dou: "General Dingguo is powerful in the north and south, it is in Kaifeng, and the army and civilians have heard of it. ”

Wang Dou said: "The people of Bianliang are hospitable, and the end will be honored. ”

All the way into the city, flock to the street to see the lively crowd more, from time to time someone on the street to Chen Yongfu and Wang Dou greeting, along the street door, there are window sills pushed open one after another, a graceful lady secretly looked at this line of people.

There were even many women lying outside the window frame, dancing with a champa and smiling at Wang Dou and the others: "Master Jun, when you come to Bianliang, remember to come to visit the slave's house." ”

Wang Dou smiled: "Kaifeng City, a wonderful place. ”
