Volume 1 Chapter 25: Overnight
Bai Heming didn't know that in the land of Beizhili, there was such a group of people, they were loyal supporters of the Ming Dynasty, and they also had a lot of backbone, I heard that the emperor sank in the capital, crying and grabbing the ground, some people chose to die, some people chose to hibernate, waiting for time to give the Dashun army a fatal blow.
In this militia group, there are some people in this group, they are quite wealthy, and they are also big families in the local area, many people's fields and soft land were robbed by the Dashun army, and they were angry, so they decided to find a suitable time to wait for the opportunity to assassinate the generals of the Dashun army.
They have long known that there is a Dashun army collecting grain and grass in various places in Beizhili, and if they can assassinate this Dashun army commander, they may be able to disrupt the pace of the Dashun army to send grain and grass to the capital.
The leader of the militia county, Xiancheng, is just a scholar pretending, he is concerned about the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of the arrogance in his heart, he resolutely accepted this character, and with the support of these big families, he assumed the pseudonym Wang Peiru.
The local magistrate and county officials in his place had long since disappeared, so he led people to occupy the yamen, and found a set of county official uniforms from the yamen to wear on his body, and raised a militia in the name of the county, and even recruited thousands of hungry people, selected young and middle-aged people from them, formed a militia group, and gathered a small number of soldiers of the Ming army who were scattered, and met Bai Heming "accidentally" on the way, and successfully joined the Dashun army and became the right mighty general of the right battalion.
Bai Heming didn't take these militia groups to heart, the entire north was the world of the Dashun army, and these militia groups were just in accordance with the will of heaven and became the army of the Dashun court.
He led the troops to Baoding City, because there are not only manpower to transport grain and grass, but also livestock, livestock is not as endurance as people, and they need to rest overnight in Baoding City, he led the army to enter Baoding City, and the Chinese army suddenly caught fire.
Bai Heming was worried that his daughter was in danger, so he hurriedly rushed to the Chinese army with his subordinates, and it turned out that a soldier was resting, a little hungry, and he actually lit a bonfire to roast sweet potatoes, and accidentally ignited a grain and grass carriage.
Bai Heming's eyes didn't blink, he cut off the head of the soldier with a knife, and the killing was decisive, which made Ling Jingyang and others chill, this is the real cold-blooded person, but this soldier is innocent, Bai Heming repeatedly ordered that no fire should be lit in the field in the army.
He succeeded in making the officers and men of the whole army dare not ignite the fire, but these measures in the Chinese army aroused the curiosity of Wang Peiru and others.
Wang Peiru and others decided to start with the Chinese army, not only to assassinate Bai Heming, but also to burn grain and grass, and have the opportunity to kill the important person who may exist.
The army arrived in Baoding City, the white crane showed his identity, the defenders of Baoding City opened the city gate, the army entered the city for the night, Ling Jingyang and others returned to Baoding City, everyone did not dare to see much, only Zhang Luofu secretly shed tears, his brothers died in this city, but he shamefully survived, but in order to protect His Majesty, he decided to steal his life.
After entering the city, the armies began to bury pots and cook, Ling Jingyang and his subordinates had a full meal, one by one to support their stomachs, and then Ling Jingyang and his subordinates were arranged to rest in an alley in the city.
Zhu Youzhen looked at Ling Jingyang, it was still March, and the weather was still very cold at night, let him spend the night outside, and he had to prevent fires, and he couldn't make fires, wouldn't he be frozen to death, Ling Jingyang was also a little confused, this alley was not big, why didn't they go to the houses on both sides to spend the night?
Ling Jingyang didn't want to freeze to death, so he knocked the door of a private house, the door opened from the inside, and a soldier of the Dashun Army showed his head from the inside and said: "This is the territory of our right battalion, you go to the side." ”
There are more than 20 soldiers of the right battalion in the room, and the soldiers of the right battalion account for the majority of the whole city, if you really fight, I am afraid that you will suffer, Ling Jingyang stubbornly resisted the urge to go in, and was forced to say sorry, and returned to the team, Zhang Luofu is very familiar with Baoding City, he and Ling Jingyang said: "Mr. Sentinel, if you want to leave here tonight, I have a way to take you away." ”
Ling Jingyang thought carefully and decisively refused Zhang Luofu, now is not the best time to leave the Dashun army, not to mention that Beizhili is the world of the Dashun army, even if it is to leave the Dashun army, the civil and military forces of the Ming Dynasty are scrambling to surrender to Dashun, the Dashun army cannot find Zhu Youzhen, these spineless officials will go to great lengths to help them find Zhu Youzhen, leaving the Dashun army at this time, there will be countless eyes looking at them, and being alone is no different from wandering, but it is very likely that it will be wiped out as a chaotic army.
"Zhang Luofu, if you have the heart, go find a few quilts, don't let everyone freeze."
Ling Jingyang felt a little chilly, a few days ago he spent the night in the wild, he could make a fire, everyone didn't feel cold, but he slept on the cold ground, no one could bear it, and the old steamed bun and others were also embarrassed, which really made everyone want to scold, but they didn't know where the fire was poured out?
Zhang Luofu suddenly thought of the cellar, the cellar was relatively warm, and there was grain and grass, he looked at this alley, it was only more than a hundred meters away from the nearest cellar, and he and Ling Jingyang quietly pointed to a direction not far away.
Ling Jingyang immediately thought that the direction he was pointing to was the cellar, there was a group of soldiers patrolling in that direction, the soldiers were all wearing armor, and at a glance they knew that they were protecting important people, Ling Jingyang shook his head, Zhang Luofu was powerless, Ling Jingyang gritted his teeth, it was a big deal that everyone was huddled together and carried it all night, and if they got up tomorrow morning, they would catch a cold, and if they wanted typhoid fever, they would have typhoid fever.
This is the defect of the rebel army, because of the addition of a large number of surrenders, the previous military system was broken by a steady stream of surrenders, and it was placed in the old camp of the Dashun army, and it was impossible to let the soldiers freeze alive outdoors, and they could not make fires.
Ling Jingyang and his subordinates said: "Squeeze in, and you will be warm with a bowl of hot soup tomorrow morning." ”
The soldiers had no choice but to huddle together, Ling Jingyang accidentally touched Li Rufeng's armguard, the arm guard was made of iron, the biting chill made Ling Jingyang's arm retract, and just as he wanted to scold, a group of people carried something they didn't know and walked towards them.
Ling Jingyang thought that other troops were coming to find fault, and immediately yelled: "What person? ”
The others also hurriedly got up and pointed at this group of people with their weapons, this group of people quickly stopped, Ling Jingyang stepped forward to see that it was the miscellaneous soldiers who followed them, these miscellaneous soldiers carried grain and grass for a day during the day, and after entering the city, they were assigned to the barracks to rest.
The miscellaneous soldiers lived in the barracks, some of them thanked Ling Jingyang and others for saving their lives, and some saw Ling Jingyang and others spending the night outside, so they made do with the thatch under their beds to send to Ling Jingyang.
