The weapons and equipment were finally ready, and Zhou Huchen took on this important task without hesitation, and the recruit training in his will began.

People who often can't eat enough will have poor physical strength, Zhou Huchen has a way, it is a cyclical and gradual process, you can't run down two laps around the school field, and one lap is assembled! Carry out training queues, simple weapon exercises always do. It's very close to the history that Zhou Huchen knows, anyway, he can't waste time, Zhou Huchen is now trying to train these soldiers as much as possible, to put it bluntly, it is strict, and he can't retreat from the battle.

As time went on, the soldiers were well fed, and as for the warmth of clothing, there was no need to think about it, it was too hot now!

The soldiers will adapt quickly after training, and even if it is hard in the future, Zhou Huchen does not have to worry that these soldiers will escape. The reason is actually very simple, these soldiers have signed contracts, and the soldiers have family members in Baoding Mansion, which is why Zhou Huchen does not want to be a homeless, except for those who work hard in the army, these soldiers have nowhere to run, unless he no longer wants his own family.

No one knows, of course, no one notices. Zhou Huchen has already done some small tricks on the contract, in fact, it's nothing, Zhou Huchen just used one of the most common tricks. He made a small modification to the soldier's service in the Beijing camp and changed it to follow, which is actually nothing for others, isn't following Zhou Yuji to serve in the Beijing camp? What's the difference?!

However, Zhou Huchen knew that Zhou Yuji was leaving.

Why train and raise soldiers for others in vain, Zhou Huchen does not have such a noble character, he will take these soldiers away in the future, this is the reason. As for whether it can be realized, Zhou Huchen can't say for sure, it's up to heaven to make things happen, and it's up to people to make things happen, anyway, Zhou Huchen is already ready, if it can't be done, he will take some of it away.

Zhou Yuji has been running to the military headquarters, and Zhou Huchen almost never leaves the barracks, except for occasionally going home to see his grandmother and mother, Zhou Huchen has now become an indispensable person in the army.

Unusually harsh training of all kinds has been going on, and there is no backing here, unless you get an order from an officer.

To Zhou Huchen's surprise, the obedience of the soldiers in this era was too good, and these harsh training did not bring much resistance. Tube full, pay a full salary, these soldiers are already content, what makes Zhou Huchen most pleased is that he found a problem, which is a particularly surprising discovery. As they slowly got used to it, these young people who had become stronger were actually comparing, who was physically better, who was stronger, and whose military skills were better.

This is an exciting discovery, Zhou Huchen considered whether to have a military competition, after thinking about it, as many things came, Zhou Huchen gave up, because, entering July, Zhou Yuji's appointment seems to have an eyebrow.

In May, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai joined forces to attack Kaifeng for the third time. Due to the strong and tall city wall of Kaifeng, coupled with the stubborn resistance of the defenders, Li Zicheng's coalition army was repeatedly overcome, zuihou, Li Zicheng could only stay in siege without attacking, so he began to "sit trapped".

This was an obvious refueling tactic, and Li Zicheng's intention was to attack the reinforcements of the Ming army, and his purpose was to weaken the Ming army in the Central Plains. However, the imperial court had no choice, this was the battle for the initiative in the Central Plains, and Kaifeng could not be abandoned, so the reinforcements who had been ordered from all over the country began to rush to Henan.

In June, Hou Sui, the head of the department, and Sun Chuanting, the governor, led an army to cross the Yellow River, and a large reinforcement of Kaifeng began.

Xu Dingguo, the chief military officer of Shanxi, also received an order for reinforcements, Xu Dingguo is not young, and he can be regarded as a long-term battleman, he once followed Yuan Keli, the secretary of the original military department, to resist Houjin in Denglai, and it can be said that he is also a bloody warrior. People often say that Jiang is old and spicy, but unfortunately, the older he gets, the less capable this Xu Dingguo Xu General Soldier is, and without that blood, his army has not yet entered Henan, and it completely collapsed and collapsed overnight.

In this way, Xu Dingguo, the chief military officer of Shanxi, was tragically imprisoned and died.

History is still that history, just as Zhou Huchen knew, Zhou Yuji's promotion to the chief soldier was settled, and now, Zhou Yuji only needs to wait.

This is already an ironclad matter, Zhou Huchen suddenly realized a problem, Zhou Yuji had not received the exact news of his promotion before, did he mean Emperor Chongzhen, did he not want Zhou Yuji to only get an ordinary position in the general army. Zhou Yuji is too daring to fight, Emperor Chongzhen should know it, this seems to mean that he is waiting for an opportunity intentionally or unintentionally, this promotion seems to have been delayed, is it that Emperor Chongzhen is waiting for an opportunity to give Zhou Yuji a real-name general soldier?

Zhou Huchen was not sure whether his guess was correct, but the correctness of this guess should be great. Only in this way can Zhou Yuji hit a stone with an egg at Ningwu Pass that he would rather die in battle, be slaughtered than surrender to Li Zicheng, which should be closest to that historical fact. Zhou Yuji should be buying time for the imperial court, in fact, Li Zicheng can completely bypass Ningwu Pass, in fact, Zhou Yuji has succeeded, he knows that Li Zicheng can't let go of Ningwu Pass like this, although Ning Wu is not too threatening. However, Zhou Yuji's tenacity was a serious challenge to Li Zicheng, who was challenging the morale of Li Zicheng's army.

Therefore, the battle of Ningwuguan is a military symbol, and Li Zicheng must take it.

Is this his father Zhou Yuji's act of gratitude? It's also his fate!

This Ming Dynasty is really no longer good, the country's finances are depleted, the enemy inside and outside is being attacked, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is getting weaker and weaker, and those officials and soldiers who dare to fight continue to disappear in the long river of history. And those who do nothing have always lived in the temple, even if the dynasty changes, these people are still doing their officials, which is some historical truth that Zhou Huchen knows. When the brave leave this shijie, these people who live will do more harm to the country, and it is they who have helped the alien race to rule China.

In July of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Zuo Liangyu and Yang Wenyue, Hu Dawei, Yang Dezheng, and Fang Guoan, who went to aid Kaifeng, were stationed in Zhuxian Town. Zuo Liangyu saw that the enemy was strong, so he pulled out the camp and fled, and all the armies in Xiangyang were defeated. Zuo Liangyu's army fled to the middle of the road and met Li Zicheng's ambush army, Zuo Liangyu's army was in chaos, abandoning horses and mules and 10,000 horses, Ren Dong, the supervisor of the army, died in battle, and Zuo Liangyu fled to Xiangyang. Looking for the defeat of Zhu Xianzhen, the governor Yang Wenyue was dismissed, and the governor Ding Qirui was arrested and imprisoned.

In September of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Kaifeng fell.

It doesn't matter who dug the embankment to flood Kaifeng, the important thing is that this ancient city has disappeared, leaving only a piece of water, and for Li Zicheng, the loss is not heavy, and he has also gained the initiative.

In October, Zhou Yuji's appointment was finally issued, and he was rightfully appointed as the chief military officer of Shanxi. Excitingly, this Shanxi chief military officer was not all, Zhou Yuji was also promoted to the crown prince Shaobao, and at the same time appointed as the governor of Zuodu. The crown prince Shaobao and the governor of Zuo are fictitious, but the fictitious title has his significance in this era, it is a level, for Zhou Yuji, this is not only the glory of the ancestors, its great significance is to control more military establishment.

At the same time that Zhou Yuji was promoted to the general soldier, Zhang Guowei, who had been with him, also received a leap promotion, and he was appointed as the new secretary of the military department.

Just when Zhou Yuji was anxious to unload his Beijing camp, the news of Sun Chuanting's defeat in Henan reached the Beijing Division, and now, the elite of the Ming army in Guannei was almost lost, and there was no army in Guanzhong that could pose a threat to Li Zicheng, so it can be said that Li Zicheng in Guanzhong was at his fingertips, and the Central Plains had no danger to defend.

Zhang Guowei took office on time, and as the situation became more and more severe, in order to increase his confidence, Zhang Guowei, who has always been friends with Zhou Yuji, intentionally or unintentionally postponed Zhou Yuji's time to take office. In this way, Zhou Yuji began to serve as the chief military officer of Shanxi at the same time, and also took care of the duties of the deputy general of the Beijing camp.
