The warm sun in February shines on the body, which is very comfortable. In the large school field in the east of Kaifeng City, tens of thousands of people stood up, all of them lined up in a neat line, trembling and waiting.

These people are all captured Dashun soldiers, and it is not accurate to say that they are troops, but more of them are ordinary people who have been coerced, and there are all the old, weak, women and children.

Since Liu Zongmin was defeated, these people have become An's trophies. Henan, which has suffered from war, lacks the most population the most. These 100,000 people are comparable to a big tonic pill.

Yuan Zongdi personally led people to select people on the school field.

"Listen, all the strong men between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five stand on the left, and the rest of the old and weak women and children stand on the right."

After receiving the order, these people immediately began to move, and soon divided into two parts, of which the old and weak women and children accounted for more than eighty percent, and the young and strong accounted for less than two thousand.

Yuan Zongdi personally led people to the team. Seeing those with disabilities, those who were too thin, crooked melons and cracked dates, and those who had no appearance, all of them were typed, and in the end there were more than 1,500 people left.

"Master Hou, can the little ones be soldiers?"

These people in the Dashun Army all know Yuan Zongdi, and they also heard that An**'s treatment is quite good, not only is he well-fed, warmly dressed, but he can also get land, and he has a monthly salary, which makes people drool when he thinks about it. From the Dashun army to An**, they have no obstacles at all, and they even cheer!

"Dreaming!" Yuan Zongdi said unceremoniously: "Let me remind you first, this official is the head of An **, not a marquis." In addition, I will tell you again. The selection of An** is very strict and must go through a strict medical examination. Let's all come with this officer! ”

Yuan Zongdi led these people to the side of the school grounds, where a large row of temporary sheds was set up, where there were already military medical officers waiting.

"Take off your clothes!"

"Huh? What does this mean, my lord? ”

Yuan Zongdi shook the leather whip in his hand fiercely: "Let you take it off, what do you say!" ”

The gang had no choice but to strip naked and be in the cold wind. They couldn't help but shiver either.

The military doctors have been prepared for a long time, first measuring height, weight, arm length, and chest circumference. Then there are inspections of the armpits, soles of the feet, and let them do some strange movements, as long as there is a failure, they will be brushed off mercilessly.

"Regiment commander, this is a soldier. Or pick the horse, why is it so troublesome? ”

Yuan Zongdi said with a calm face: "An ** can defeat the Tartars, and people are the best of the best, so they can have combat effectiveness." If it's a group of crooked melons and cracked dates, it's useless to train them, just look at them honestly! ”

But Yuan Zongdi said. But I also felt a tingling of my scalp, especially when testing my vision, color blindness, reflexes, and coordination. These are unheard of and unseen. He was also completely open-eyed.

After some inspection, less than 700 of the 1,500 remained. After these tests, there is also a physical fitness test, and these poor and battered babies have to run with weights, and only those who pass at the end can become recruit soldiers.

Everyone carried a twenty-pound wooden stake and ran twenty miles, just thinking about it, let Yuan Zongdi straighten his teeth.

"It's too hard, it's too hard!"

"It's not difficult at all!"

Yuan Zongdi raised his head suddenly, it happened to be Gu Zhenhua who came over with someone, Yuan Zongdi hurriedly said: "Grandpa Guo, I really didn't expect that An**'s selection of recruits would be so strict, it was really, really eye-opening!" ”

"Hahaha, Commander Yuan, how many qualified soldiers have you selected?"

"Grandpa Qiqiguo, there are more than 10,000 captives in total, and I estimate that there are probably less than 500 people who can complete the physical fitness test in the end. According to this ratio, it would be good to be able to elect 5,000 people out of these 100,000 people, and there are too many eliminated! ”

Wu Kaijie, who had just returned from Nanjing, said with a smile: "Why does Commander Yuan think that 5,000 men and horses do not have the majesty of an army of 100,000?" ”

Yuan Zongdi scratched his head embarrassedly: "I really feel this way." ”

Gu Zhenhua said with a smile: "The account can't be calculated like this, just take 100,000 people, if you meet 10,000 Tartars in the field, can they win?" ”

Yuan Zong shook his head when he heard it for the first time: "Grandpa Guo, this world is not afraid of 10,000 Tartar soldiers, I'm afraid there is only An **!" ”

"Isn't this the end of it, five thousand strictly trained An **, with enough guns. In the face of 10,000 Tartars, at least they can maintain an undefeated situation, this is the value of elite soldiers! And the remaining personnel are not useless, those who are not selected will be sent to Nanyang immediately, let them open up wasteland and farm, produce food, build weapons, and then arm these 5,000 people with all their might. In this way, after the elite soldiers, the combat effectiveness has been improved, and the logistics support has also been provided, so that such an army will never be defeated! ”

Yuan Zongdi pondered it carefully, suddenly came to his senses, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo's words are really shocking." Now that I think about it, it's no wonder that people say we're thieves. It's so ashamed to coerce the people everywhere, hundreds of thousands of horses at every turn, and as a result, there is not even a real foothold! ”

Wu Kaijie suddenly laughed: "Commander Yuan, the so-called prodigal son turned back, Li Zicheng's set of play came to an end, the first battle in northern Shaanxi, the Dashun army was defeated, the first battle in northern Henan, An ** won, this is the number of days!" That's the trend! I think that Commander Yuan should write a letter to the generals of the Dashun Army as soon as possible, so that they can abandon the darkness and turn to the light. ”

"I didn't say it, Grandpa Guo, it's not easy for the big guy to fight for so many years, it's time to think about it for yourself!"

While he was talking, the first soldier finally ran over with a log on his shoulder. This guy is 1.80 meters tall, five big and three thick, and he is soaked with hot sweat all over his body, falling like raindrops.

"Ahh

The cow roared, and the guy finally crossed the finish line, slamming the log aside.

"Hahaha! Lao Tzu is an ** now, right? ”

Just as he was being triumphant, a large hand suddenly grabbed him by the shoulder. This kid hurriedly waved his hand to block, but he didn't know that he didn't block it all of a sudden, and the other party flew up again, kicked him in the leg and stomach, and suddenly the whole person flew out sideways!

"Who dares to fight Lao Tzu, I will fight with him!"

The stunned boy got up from the ground again, but as soon as he raised his eyes, he felt that something was wrong, and more than a dozen strong guards around him were staring at him. He's not stupid, I'm afraid that if you pick out any of them, you won't necessarily be weaker than him.

Gu Zhenhua laughed: "It's Benjue's hand, what do you want?" ”

"I, I can't beat you!"

Gu Zhenhua said with a smile: "Benjue asked you, why do you want to participate in An**?" ”

"I can eat, King Chuang let me eat enough, I will follow him, now I can't eat, I will follow An**!"

"Hahaha, it's you, Ben Jue wants to form a grenadier, and you are the first batch."

Yuan Zongdi couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa Guo, what is a grenadier?" ”

"As the name suggests, it's a soldier who throws grenades. A grenade is about the same as a cannonball, and it only needs a tall soldier with long arms. In addition, the grenadiers also have to drop bombs in front of the infantry phalanx, which is the most suitable for stupid and daring to do! ”

When Yuan Zong heard it for the first time, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Grandpa Guo, I see that this kid is good, he is stunned and naΓ―ve enough!" ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, but the stupid boy was still scratching his head. At this time, the 66 continuation and others were also completed, and finally five hundred and thirteen people became recruits of An**, which was almost enough for a battalion.

Gu Zhenhua vigorously reorganized and expanded the army here, and he did not relax at all about the collapse of the Dashun army.

Yuan Zongdi and Tian Jianxiu both wrote letters to Li Zicheng's subordinates and sent them out through secret channels.

These are secret operations, and on the other hand, Gu Zhenhua is making a big fuss. He mobilized three elite infantry regiments that had just been reorganized, plus an artillery battalion, totaling more than 7,000 people, and drove towards Tongguan.

In order to enhance the effect of intimidation, Gu Zhenhua also sent a large number of spies to spread news and post notices.

Li Zicheng was attacked one after another, northern Shaanxi was defeated, and Liu Zongmin lost another 100,000 horses, all of which made Li Zicheng sigh and suffocate to the extreme.

He simply drank all day long, drunk and dreamed of death, handed over everything to Niu Jinxing, and blindly hid in the harem to enjoy himself.

But the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all trembling, and just last night, a big event happened in Xi'an. Originally, in the east city, there is a hundreds of years old plum tree, the old branches and leaves are flourishing, when Li Zicheng occupied Xi'an for the first time, someone said about this lesson plum tree.

Li Zicheng also believed in the proverb of the eighteen sons, the main artifact, so he had a good impression of this lesson Lao Shu. When he returned from the defeat in northern Shaanxi, Li Zicheng also said that the old tree was still there, and he could stand up again like Lao Li!

But just last night, a sudden thunder fell, knocking the old tree beyond its branches, and the black trunk lost a trace of life.

In normal times, the old tree is dead, and there is nothing, but at this time, the sky is thundering, and killing the old tree doesn't it mean something? Question marks are drawn in everyone's minds.

Hao Shaoqi and the others even surrounded Song Xiance, and couldn't help but say: "Military advisor, you know astronomy and geography, hurry up and tell us, what's going on?" Could it be, is God really ......?"

Song Xiance looked solemn, didn't say a word, and sighed after a while: "Manpower is limited, the number of days is difficult to violate, and the old man doesn't know!" ”

"Hey! At this time, what are the number of days, you can quickly say what can be done! ”

At this moment, someone suddenly ran in in a hurry, his face was pale, he walked in front of Niu Jinxing, and said tremblingly: "Prime Minister, the big thing is not good, the Puzhou gentry are in turmoil, and they have killed all the officials we sent, and the soldiers have also been cut down, and they have announced that they will obey the will of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Bastard, it's just a downfall, I'm going to find His Majesty."

At this moment, there was a sudden light cough, and Li Zicheng turned around from behind, his face was haggard, and he had no energy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a plan to get out of the current situation, we should go!"
