Chapter 145: The backbone of the Great Ming

"Poof."

Zhu Cijiong slipped and fell into the muddy water.

After falling to the ground, Zhu Cijiong subconsciously wanted to get up, but he couldn't get up.

It is a long march that leads to a serious overdraft of physical fitness, you must know that this is a rainy night march, in addition to physical exertion, there is also a loss of body temperature caused by rain, which can be described as a double crit.

After all, Zhu Cijiong is a thirteen-year-old child, and he can't bear it.

Wang Chengen, who was walking next to him, subconsciously wanted to reach out and pull, but was stopped by Chongzhen.

Chongzhen took a step back and looked down at Zhu Cijiong, and said solemnly: "Jiong'er, you are the prince, I will make an exception to give you one more chance to choose, if you regret it now, I will send you back to Nanjing immediately." ”

"Father, who do you look down on?" Zhu Cijiong's little face collapsed instantly.

Gritting his teeth, Zhu Cijiong roared like an enraged lion cub.

Then he got up little by little, and when he stood firm, he staggered forward, and the first few steps were still a little unsteady under his feet, and it seemed that he might fall down at any time, but soon, Zhu Ci stabilized his body and his steps became firmer.

"His Royal Highness the King of Ding, the true dragon species." Wang Chengen wiped his nose, and the flow on his face didn't know if it was rain or tears?

"Wang Daban, what about you," Chongzhen laughed at Wang Chengen, but turned his head and felt a sour nose, he was really moved by Zhu Cijiong's child just now.

Mother Yong doubted, the cruel fact of the fall of Jingshi and the overthrow of the ancestral society gave Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong's little brothers a huge spiritual stimulation, thus stimulating the tenacity and bloodiness in the depths of their souls. Therefore, if you are willing to sacrifice your life to protect this country, and you are willing to bear all the pain for this goal, what is the point of marching in a mere suffering?

However, it is one thing to be moved, and another is to be tested.

The straight-line distance from Nanjing to Xuzhou is only 600 miles, and the actual road mileage is definitely more than 600 miles, but it is not more than 800 miles to survive, so no matter how difficult and slow this march is, it is only a 20-day journey!

And this, there is a long way to go from Chongzhen's goal, what Chongzhen wants is at least two months of suffering march.

Two months later, when these Qinwang scholars had tasted all kinds of hardships and finally arrived in Xuzhou, they would find that fighting seemed to be easier than marching.

In short, even if there are no difficulties, Chongzhen has to create difficulties.

Without the 25,000-mile Long March, there would be no Eighth Route Army and the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

In the same way, if there is no painful march that lasts for more than two months, and a group of iron-clad soldiers cannot be tempered, it will not be able to support the ridges of the Ming Dynasty!

In fact, Chongzhen thinks that two months is also short.

If conditions permit, Chongzhen even wants to extend the time of this suffering march to more than half a year.

It's a pity that the Jiannu army will go south in October, and because of the appearance of him as a traverser, or more precisely due to the appearance of the edict of the prisoner, Jiannu is very likely to list Daming as the main target.

In this way, the Xuzhou defense line will be under unprecedented military pressure.

Therefore, Chongzhen had to rush to Xuzhou with the prince of Qin before October.

Therefore, Chongzhen only had more than two months to polish the Qinwang Shizi.

Thinking of this, Chongzhen immediately beckoned to Wu to step forward and ordered: "Wu Tan, spread my will, the whole army will turn to the west and go to Luzhou Mansion." ”

"Huh? Luzhou Mansion? ”

Wang Chengen's expression suddenly turned grim when he heard this.

The road to Luzhou is very difficult to walk, it is a mountainous area!

Also, what to do in Luzhou Mansion? Can't go north directly?

Wu Jiaotan didn't say half a word of nonsense, and promised to beat the horse and gallop away.

Immediately, Chongzhen's will was quickly passed down: there is a holy will, all go to Luzhou Mansion!

……

"What? Going to Luzhou Mansion? ”

Fang Yizhi, Wu Yingji and other children of the family were directly stupid.

Gu Gao is even more unwhole, what is the saint doing? Intentional tossing us, right?

"Don't go, my son won't go!" Gu Gao's son-in-law lost his temper again, walked to a stone on the side of the official road and sat down, and said without a good breath, "It's just a rainy day march, and we can endure the overnight march without eating, but now we suddenly have to turn around and go west to Luzhou Mansion, isn't this a deliberate attempt to discourage people?" ”

Wu Yingji and others felt the same way, but they didn't dare to say it.

Only Gu Gao, a stunned young man, dared to say anything.

"Gu Zifang!" Wu Jiaotan and Gu Gao cooperated to catch the stick, so they recognized each other.

Wu Zhangtan's right hand had already grasped the handle of the knife, and he said murderously: "Are you going to resist the order?" ”

"I'm ......" Gu Gao originally wanted to say that I just wanted to resist the decree, what happened? But as soon as he came into contact with the eyes of the vultures, he immediately swallowed the second half of the words back into his stomach.

Wu Yingji and the others also realized the danger, and hurriedly rushed forward to pull Gu Gao up again.

"Don't get me wrong, the prince has no intention of resisting or disobeying, let's go." Wu Yingji and Mao Xiang walked forward with Gu Gao on the left and right, lest they pull out their knives and cut people if they disagree.

The vultures snorted as they continued to convey their will.

"Brother Zifang, be patient." Mao Xiang persuaded Gu Gao and said, "I don't believe that this is the original intention of the saint, how much did the saint attach importance to my generation of scholars when he first came to Nanjing?" And how could you come up with such a plan to toss us and wait? ”

"Yes, yes, Brother Bijiang is reasonable." Wu Yingji echoed.

"This must be a traitorous villain who has made a greedy statement to the saint, and we will definitely rise up to fight against it."

Under the repeated persuasion of several sons, Gu Gao finally lost his anger and walked forward with a black face.

However, it didn't take long to turn around and go west, and I ran into big trouble, because it was not the kind of cobblestone road that went to Luzhou Mansion, but a dirt road, and it was muddy or even muddy when it rained.

Such dirt roads are very laborious, let alone horse-drawn carriages.

However, King Qin brought a lot of carriages, and as a result, all of these carriages were confined to the quagmire.

The wagons were loaded with ordnance and baggage, including the marching rations of the soldiers of the King of Qin.

Seeing that the carriage was stuck in the quagmire and could not walk, those poor men spontaneously stepped forward to push the cart.

Gu Gao and Wu Yingji also got a few carriages, and they were all poor scholars who were driving before.

But now the carriage is stuck in the mud, but those poor scholars really can't push it.

"Quick, a few more people, the carriage is too heavy, we can't push it!" Zheng Sen shouted with a dark face.

Gu Gao and the others snorted coldly, ignored it, they couldn't walk anymore, and let them push the cart, Zheng Damu, what do you want?

Only Fang Yizhi said weakly: "Brother Da Mu, we really don't have the strength, you know, from noon to now, the grain of rice has not been eaten for four or five hours, and we really have no strength." ”

"Aren't we also the same rice that hasn't been eaten?" There was a scholar from a poor family who couldn't bear it anymore, and said sarcastically, "Is it only you children of the family who will be hungry?" ”

"Who? Which one was just that? Gu Gao said angrily.

The scholar from the poor family was also not afraid, and replied abruptly: "In the next meeting, Xu Yingwei!" ”

"Auditor? Xu's? Gu Gao said with a dark face, "It's the Mudong Xu family, right?" ”

"Yes, yes." Xu Yingwei snorted and said, "Although my grandmother's Dong Xu clan is not enough to be compared with a big family like the Gu clan in Wuxi, it is not afraid of things. ”

"Okay, you Xu will wait for me." Gu Gao hated it in his heart.

This trip to the north to Qinwang really caught Gu Gao by surprise, and his fame has not yet been earned, but these children of the poor family have jumped out one by one to provoke, and small families like the Xu family in Mudong are not even qualified to step into the gate of the Gu family in Wuxi, and now they dare to jump out to provoke, and they all want to turn the sky upside down, right?

At this time, even Zheng Sen is not used to Gu Gao's son-in-law.

"Gu Zifang!" Zheng Sen shouted with a dark face, "Right now, everyone is a member of the Qinwang Shizi, so we should work together, reduce the stinky shelves of the children of that family, and bring me over to push the cart together!" ”

"I won't push the cart, what are you going to do?" Gu Gao was furious.

Zheng Sen shouted: "Don't forget, I'm the chief of the scholars!" ”

More than 6,000 Qin Wang Shizi carried out a simple grouping before going north.

Chongzhen selected more than 60 scholars from them and served as the leaders of each group.

As the leader of each group, small things can be decided, and big things can be played directly in front of Chongzhen.

Gu Gao's group of scholars is Zheng Sen, which is also the origin of Gu Gao's troubled mood, thinking that he is a dignified son of the Gu family in Wuxi and the leader of the Restoration Society, but he didn't take the turn to serve as the chief scholar?

Gu Gao still refused to admit defeat: "What if you are the chief of the sergeant?" ”

Zheng Sen shouted: "Before the opening of the Jinchuan Gate, there was a clear edict on the Holy Lord, this time the king of Qin in the north, my generation of scholars will act in accordance with the military regulations of the border town, and the order issued by the chief of this scholar is a military order, but there are disobedient people in this group, one warning, two lashes, three disobedience is to be beheaded!" Gu Gao, the chief of this scholar is now officially warned, I hope you respect yourself! ”

Gu Gao, Wu Yingji and other sons were stunned for a moment, careless, this is really careless! Really?

At the beginning of the opening of the Jinchuan Gate, Gu Gao and Wu Yingji did not take the edict issued by Chongzhen seriously, and managed them according to the military regulations and regulations of the soldiers in the border towns, how could this be possible? Wouldn't it be insulting to treat them so rudely as a scholar with a noble status? Categorically not.

It was only now that they finally reacted.

What the saint said is true, he really treats them as border town pawns.

"Brother Zifang, come on." Fang Yizhi was the first to react, and hurriedly pulled Gu Gao forward to push the cart.

Even if it's just for show, you can't make Zheng Sen unable to get off the stage, otherwise it will really force Zheng Sen to be anxious, maybe they will really play Chen directly in front of the Holy Emperor, then they will be in big trouble.

Gu Gao had no choice but to follow the cart.

With the joint efforts of all the gentlemen, the carriage was finally pushed out of the quagmire.

Because Gu Gao didn't catch it, his feet slipped and fell into the quagmire.
