But Zhao Zilong's first part can only be used as a surprise soldier, and it is still these 1,500 people who really defend the city.

Jia Baoyu and others came to the battlements of the east gate to inspect the two Furlong cannons and a mortar cannon installed on the city gate.

The remaining one Furlong cannon and one mortar were arranged at the West City Gate.

After some examination, Jia Baoyu's heart settled down a little.

This feeling of being beaten passively is too uncomfortable.

It's like hiding at home, waiting for a thief to come to the door, and the thief is carrying a knife.

No matter how strong your security door is, it is always uneasy.

The soldiers were divided into three squads, one of which stood guard at the top of the city, while the rest rested under the base of the city walls.

It was the spring equinox, and the temperature was still below freezing.

Although it is not as cold as in the middle of winter, it still can't stand people, and people have to stomp their feet and move after standing for a long time.

It rained overnight last night, and in the morning it was gray and the sun was nowhere to be seen.

This kind of weather is a test for both the siege and the defenders of the city.

Fortunately, Jia Baoyu had a lot of wood removed from the houses outside the city, and at this moment a lot of fires were lit under the base of the city wall for the soldiers to sit around and roast the fire.

The soldiers all came with them from the Left Guard, and those with families were also in the Left Guard.

Many of them were locals, accounting for one-third of the total number of troops, and all of them had land in their families, or some of their families worked in underwear factories.

These people are loyal enough to Jia Baoyu, and they can protect their property when the thieves come.

At the same time, these people also quickly joined the church, and these more than 1,500 soldiers had all joined the brotherhood in three days.

At present, before the thieves arrived, there were propagandists led by Shen Lian to explain to the soldiers what the Brotherhood was, the program of the Brotherhood, and some requirements of the Brotherhood.

Unlike later generations, people don't like to go to class.

These soldiers are very interested in this brotherhood, they are like sponges, frantically absorbing all knowledge.

Jia Baoyu looked at a few little instructors teaching the soldiers to recite the program of the Brotherhood, and said: "Just talking about this dryly, it will get boring after a long time, why don't I teach everyone to sing a song." ”

"Good!"

After a series of brainwashing, the soldiers have developed a personality cult for Jia Baoyu.

Without him, the light on Jia Baoyu's body was too dazzling.

The family of the princes, hand-picked by the emperor, and the first place in the courtyard of Shuntian Mansion, the most important thing is that Jia Baoyu can pay on time and in full!

Not only did they pay them, but they also gave them land and jobs for their families.

What's more, Jia Baoyu treats them as human beings.

In Jia Baoyu's barracks, whether it was the original military household of the Left Guard or the young Zhuang recruited locally in Qingxian County, they could feel the equality between officers and ordinary soldiers.

This gave all the soldiers a very deep sense of identity and responsibility.

The feeling of a group living in harmony, thinking in one place, and working hard in one place, made all the soldiers very intoxicated.

They found organizations, found like-minded people, and found purpose in life.

Jia Baoyu cleared his throat and sang: "Our army wants to carry forward, sincere unity without deception,

Determined to save the country, the warriors can defend the Quartet.

Not afraid of swords and spears, swear to bring down the enemy,

Only when you are close to the dead and serve the field can you be considered a good son.

The first body should be strong, and the muscles and bones should be forged like a hundred steels,

There is no resentment in the summer rain, and there is no fear of ice, snow and frost in the cold winter.

Toil is commonplace, hunger and chaff,

What's the matter, you can also taste the guts, and learn to practice the king.

Morality should be promoted, courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame are four-dimensional,

Whoever gives us a pay, the people anoint the public bread.

Be vigilant step by step, arrogant and greedy,

The example of the commander, the rules of the militarism, should not be forgotten at any time.

When you are a big person, you don't let you be a teacher,

Seven-foot He Angang, often takes his vocation to heart.

Loving the country will be strong, loving the people and the people will be healthy,

For the people's security, for the country's pillars, that is, for the army's light. ”

Shen Lian and the others listened to their eyes lit up, and after Jia Baoyu finished singing, the scene was silent.

Smack-smack-smack-

I don't know who took the lead, and there was thunderous applause at the scene.

A few recruits who have just joined the army can't wait to slap their palms to pieces.

Liu Laosi, Wang Baoxu, Yuan Hai and others had an inexplicable brilliance in their eyes.

Having experienced the siege of Qingxian, they can better understand the meaning of the lyrics sung by Jia Baoyu.

Liang Zhen, the leader of the 10th Squadron, shouted loudly: "Is it good for adults to sing!" ”

"Good!"

"Would you like to hear it again?"

"Yes!"

"My lord, look, everyone is looking forward to it, you can sing it to us again!"

Liang Zhen said with a smile.

Jia Baoyu waved his hand and said: "I'll write down the lyrics later, and each of you squad leaders will get a copy, learn it by yourself, sing it yourself, and let the soldiers relax too." ”

At this moment, a cannon rang out at the West Gate!

Boom –

Jia Baoyu's face changed, and then, a whistle arrow flew into the sky.

"His grandmother's, it's finally here, everyone is in place!"

Jia Baoyu shouted loudly.

Lu Jianxing, Jin Yichuan, Hua An, Liang Zhen and others immediately dispersed with their heralds and arrived at the designated combat location.

Jia Baoyu re-ascended the wall of the East Gate and took out a telescope.

This telescope was bought by Jia Baoyu for 1,000 taels of silver from a Franco.

For a time, the bells, flutes, and drums of the whole city rang loudly.

Jia Baoyu looked from a distance, only to see that from the southeast of Qingxian County, a large group of cavalry horses' hooves flew and led the crowd to come.

Behind the cavalry, there was a long snake team that could not be seen at a glance, and the number was estimated to be more than 50,000 people.

The thieves had a lot of horses, and they didn't know how many rich families they had robbed, and a group of cavalry quickly approached the county seat of Qingxian, shouting loudly while galloping.

When they ran to the edge of the moat, they could not go any further, for there was water in the moat, and though it was not deep, it was four or five feet wide, and if their horses had entered the moat, they would have stumbled and sunk into it.

The county seat of Qingxian County is not large, but it also has a circumference of seven or eight miles.

Soon, more thieves swarmed and set up camp about a mile east of the city.

Seeing that the number of thieves was in the tens of thousands, Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan, who were in charge of guarding the East City Gate, were breathing heavily.

Jia Baoyu became an official, engaged in business, and worked step by step, defeating the Warat and Manchu people, and finally became the emperor.
