Chapter 119: Marching, fighting, and trading

How far is it from Beijing to Tongzhou? Fifty miles! Just such a small distance, modern society can drive for twenty minutes, but in the Ming Dynasty, an army can guarantee fifty miles of marching every day, which is a very good result.

Whether the white pole soldiers and Chen Xie's regimental training camp are strong soldiers or not, they have secretly compared them before they come out. He Xian's scout team was scattered before dawn, the regimental training camp and the white pole soldiers were assembling, when Chen Xie and Qin Liangyu discussed the order of the march, He Xian came in and reported: "There is no enemy situation in the two directions of the capital and Sanhe, according to investigation, the sun and moon flag is still planted at the head of Sanhe City, but the city gate is closed." ”

Chen Xie's habit is to pounce on the map first, this map of the Ming Dynasty from the Historical Atlas of China, compared with the map of the Ming Dynasty, is undoubtedly high-end I don't know how many times. Not to mention, these maps are printed according to the province, and the map on the table is a detailed map of Beizhili, and the county-level units are clearly marked.

"It's about eighty miles from Tongzhou to Sanhe, and the main force of Houjin has crossed Sanhe, what are so many reinforcements from the Beijing Division doing?" Chen Xie punched the table angrily, Qin Liangyu raised his hand in distress and opened his hand and said, "Tap, the map is broken." ”

Without waiting for Chen Xie to react, Qin Liangyu had already rolled up the map, and then handed it to Qin Yiming beside him after ....... Chen Xie was dumbfounded, I just gave you a map yesterday. Qin Liangyu seemed to know what he meant, and said lightly: "The map from yesterday got wet when I drank water. "This elegant Aunt Qin has even learned to rob.

After some contact, it is really difficult for Chen Xie to combine Qin Liangyu with a brave general, although he is a little older, according to history, he is fifty-six years old this year, and his head is white, but he still gives people a pleasing feeling. Thinking of Qin Liangyu's age, Chen Xie couldn't help but sigh, in the Ming Dynasty, how old a woman could fight on the battlefield like her?

"General Qin, what else do you like? Can you say it all at once? Chen Xie decided to be well-behaved, and in the face of this female general with white sideburns, he knew that he could not refuse the request of this typical representative of the loyal martyrs.

"Well, depending on your age, I'll take you as a nephew. In this way, I see that your subordinates, a small team officer, all carry a claircase, and even the average scout has a pair of clairvoyance. I can see that this thing is rare in yours, and for my department, this is a life-saving treasure on the battlefield. Just send a few more pairs, and you will be a family in the future. Qin Liangyu was also polite, and looked at Chen Xie with a smile, as if he had suffered a great loss by accepting Chen Xie as a nephew.

Chen Xie decided to overturn the previous conclusion that Qin Liangyu was a kind person, gritted his teeth and counted with his fingers: "Aunt Qin, give you ten pairs of binoculars at most, and if you want more, you have to wait for me to return to Dengzhou." ”

Qin Liangyu's face slowly put away, she just wanted to see Chen Xie's embarrassed appearance, but she didn't expect this kid's big equation to be far beyond her imagination. You said cotton armor, knives and guns, Chen Xie didn't give them less yesterday. But those things, the Ming Dynasty is not a rare object, this is a white pole soldier who is a little poor to be a treasure. But this thing that was called a telescope by Chen Xie, Qin Liangyu had never seen it before, but he had heard of it in a monocular.

In other words, you can't buy this thing in Daming with silver, so Chen Xie gave ten in one go. just said casually for himself, "Take you as a nephew." Qin Liangyu knew that his toast was really not a great figure in the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention anything else, as far as the local Ming officials in Zhongzhou were concerned, before they set out on the expedition, they didn't even take care of the grain and grass, and they had to raise it themselves.

It was precisely because he felt a strong sense of respect and intimacy from Chen Xie's body that Qin Liangyu would casually quip. I want to see if his watch xiàn is pretended.

"Good, good! Qin will recognize you as a nephew today, and everyone will be a family from now on. ”

"Xie has lost his parents since he was a child, and was raised by an aunt surnamed Wu, and this time there is an Aunt Qin, and I am very happy." As soon as Chen Xie was excited, he began to drag the text, but the expression on his face couldn't deceive people. Historical celebrities, this is much more bang than Zhang Yao, Chen Xie is really happy to have such an aunt.

Qin Liangyu was also moved by this kid's sincerity, and said with a smile: "At present, the enemy's situation is unknown, so our army will open the way." ”

Chen Xie didn't argue about this matter, because he knew that the Qing army was in Zunhua recently, and it was estimated that it would be Yongping as far away.

Qin Yiming interjected on the side: "Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve!" Why don't you take another day off? ”

Qin Liangyu's face was stern: "Rush to Beijing for the New Year!" Only then did Chen Xie remember that today was the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve and the last day of the second year of Chongzhen. Hurriedly resigned and returned to the village, the troops simply rested on the spot and waited to come out at any time. Chen Xie is still very satisfied with this, and the regimental training camp is definitely ranked first among the Ming army in terms of strict military discipline and formation.

The white pole soldiers went on the road first, and the regimental training camp followed, and the land of Gyeonggi was originally a prosperous place, and the avenue of Tongzhou from the Beijing Division was originally one of the busiest roads in the world. After a catastrophe, there were no pedestrians on the main road, but a few corpses fell on the side of the road. Chen Xie couldn't stand it, so he asked the sappers to clean up the corpses along the way, these soldiers dug the pit quickly, the coffin didn't think about it, five or six people were buried in a shallow pit, so as not to be eaten by wild dogs.

Along the way, you can see the remnants of many villages, which shows the heavy disaster that this catastrophe brought to the surrounding areas of Gyeonggi.

Along the way, Qin Liangyu pursed his mouth and was silent, and when he saw the capital from afar, Chen Xie rode his horse to catch up and said: "Aunt Qin, it's not early, let the brothers rest on the side of the road, eat some dry food and drink some water, and then rush to the capital before dark." ”

It was already past one o'clock in the afternoon. After counting the two hours of leaving, Qin Liangyu nodded.

The horn of resting on the spot sounded, and Chen Xie had already returned to the regimental training camp, and personally took the people of the baggage team to send a cart of compressed biscuits to the front. This is really not poor and generous, Chen Xie saw that the white pole soldiers ate simple fried sorghum rice, and he really couldn't stand it. The bravest soldiers of the Ming Dynasty eat this, and you still expect these people to win the battle? But it was these people, under the leadership of Qin Liangyu, who went to the battlefield again and again, and fell one by one in the battle to defend Daming Sheji.

Discipline and sentiment or something, Chen Xie has long been thrown into the garbage heap, and he has no intention of picking it up. The current Chen Xie is simply taking Qin Liangyu as his own family, and he can't watch them eat what they feed the pigs, and eat it on the side.

"There will be a war right away, such a good thing, it's a waste to eat it now." Qin Liangyu watched Chen Xie lead people to move cartons of biscuits (pure paper packaging), and complained about Chen Xie distressedly.

"Aunt Qin, you can't say that. I've studied medicine before, and the human body consumption of a long march is very large, and there is not enough calorie supplementation, uh, I can't tell you clearly. Let's put it this way, if the brothers don't eat better, it won't be long before the body can't bear it. When you get to the battlefield, you don't have the strength to fight. Forget it, you don't care, in short, if I have a mouthful, I won't miss a bite of the brothers. Chen Xie brought three months' rations, and the consumption in Shandong was not too large. In addition, someone has already been sent to send a letter to the United Firm, and a batch of military quarters will be sent to Tianjin to be handed over to Yuanzhong within a month. Historically, this battle had to be fought until the end of May, and it was considered to have completely recovered the northeast of Zhili, and there was no logistics supply, so this battle could not be fought.

"Sihua, what should I do if you don't have enough to eat?" Qin Liangyu refused to take advantage of Chen Xie in vain, Chen Tuhao patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I brought a lot of silver, just buy it on the spot after eating." In the future, this sorghum rice will only be used to feed livestock, and the brothers are not allowed to eat it anymore. ”

"How's that going to work? There are so many of us! "Qin Liangyu is very entangled, what Chen Xie said must be right, the problem is that taking advantage of others like this, even if he recognizes relatives, it is not appropriate, right?

Chen Xie's aura of the local tyrant was fully exploded at this time, and he waved his hand and said: "It only adds up to seven thousand people, and according to the consumption of five hundred taels of silver per day, the consumption of fifteen thousand taels a month." I can earn more than 30,000 taels a month, which is nothing. "This kind of heroic spirit that I will smash you to death with silver has completely suppressed Qin Liangyu. Dumbfounded as he tossed. Ma Xianglin's ears are very pointed, he can hear clearly, and he can't care about the telescope he has played, so he quietly follows Chen Xie.

"Brother, I brought some Shu brocade, do you have a way to help?" Chen Xie listened to it freshly, looked at Ma Xianglin and said, "I said Brother Ma, are you here to fight, or are you here to do business?" ”

Ma Xianglin said with a smile: "Fighting and doing business are not delayed at all. We don't have any good things to earn silver, but the women in the village are skillful, and the Shu brocade woven is the best. Before the troops were dispatched, the Zhongzhou officials did not give the silver to be pulled, but gave a few hundred stones of rice grain. My mother made this decision and took some Shu brocade to sell on the road, so as not to have nothing for the brothers to eat after a long time. In fact, it's not just us, the military horses of King Kawanaka Qin's are all done by this. The local food and money were insufficient, and they could not send troops, so they had to bring some local products and hurry while doing business. ”

In Chen Xie's opinion, this kind of thing is really fantastical, but it is so real in front of him.

"Ah, okay, you take it first, and I'll give you the silver directly when I get back. This thing is in demand from Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong and maritime merchants. Chen Xie agreed very simply, but he really didn't plan to make money from this, and he planned to lose money. It's very simple, the current maritime merchants from Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong are all American goods, who wants to bring this back? It's better to decorate this thing and bring it back to earn more.

Ma Xianglin didn't understand this, and left happily. He is not a material for trading. rs
