Chapter 105: I've Risen Too
No matter who it is, no matter what the past, the one who enters Yanjing is the emperor?
Wang Wu was thoughtful.
Han Wangyan restored the Chinese as the co-leader of the society, but this remark was actually aimed at the three old commanders Li Laiheng, Yuan Zongdi, and Hao Shaoqi.
Because the last Ming army is the last Shun army.
The meaning expressed is very straightforward, but it is limited to the three old handsome.
Refers to a specific range of time at a specific time.
The kind that does not expand.
It is likely to refer to Li Laiheng, the successor of Li Zicheng.
Others are not in this range.
The saying of "no matter who it is, no matter who it is, no matter what the past", the crowd is larger.
Literally, it means that as long as the people who resist the Qing Dynasty can enter Yanjing, they can be emperors!
And he is the emperor who has been recognized by the Zhu Ming clan.
Even Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, Geng Jimao, and even the retired Hong Chengchou are no exception.
If Ao Bai is also willing to restore the clothes of the Han family, he is willing to take Kangxi's little pockmarks out of the palace and fall to death in the coal mountain, and then take the Manchurians to collectively grow their hair and braid, good guy, according to the saying of Fuchenzi, he can also be the Han Emperor!
Of course, it is impossible to worship them.
But what about the three feudatories?
What about the proud soldiers of the green battalion who have long seen through the Eight Banners as nothing more than paper tigers?
What about the careerists who hide among the people?
Now that there are still nine years before Wu Sangui rebels, is it possible for Wu Sangui to move in advance?
Or to stimulate the powerful faction in the Qing army who hold military power?
So as to loosen the rope around the neck of the Ming army, so that the Qing court could not deal with the Ming army?
Wang Wu fell into deep thought, not noticing that the Taoist chief beside him had already run to the toilet not far away.
After noticing that the person was not there, he couldn't help but glance around.
In his sight, the Taoist chief was squatting in the corner of the toilet with several women and two children, not knowing what to do.
Wang Wu couldn't help but wonder what they were doing in the past.
When I passed, I saw Fuchenzi and the women and children holding a small wooden board in their hands, carefully scraping the white substance from the corner of the latrine.
The necks of the two children obviously looked a little abnormal, they were very thick and swollen.
It is a large neck disease caused by salt deficiency.
One in the woman also has symptoms of big neck disease.
Wang Wu couldn't help frowning slightly, he knew what these people were shaving.
Nitrate!
Although the unique nitrate produced in the corner of the latrine looks disgusting, it is like gold for the soldiers and civilians who are extremely short of salt!
In addition to being eaten as salt, nitrate can also be used to refine nitrate, which is used to make gunpowder.
In my previous life, I had the impression that when an army was besieged, nitrate was used to solve the problem of salt shortage.
The taste is slightly bitter, but salty enough.
Looking up, he found that Wang Wu was looking at them behind him, and Fu Chenzi couldn't help but say: "The chief soldier is busy himself, don't pay attention to the poor road." ”
After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Wang Wu, and gently scraped the nitrate on the wall with a wooden board very seriously.
There is no waste at all.
The same is true of women and children.
There was even a child who secretly licked the freshly scraped nitrate with his tongue, and at the same time his saliva flowed down his face with a satisfied expression.
This situation made Wang Wu sigh slightly.
He brought some salt from Wujiayuanzi, and on the way he also captured some from the Qing army, but the quantity was limited, and it was impossible to give it to these people to eat.
After all, the big war is imminent, and he needs to follow his desperate soldiers to have enough physical strength to fight with the Qing soldiers.
If, because of the overflow of sympathy, the already pitiful salt is distributed to the people, what will the soldiers use to defend against the enemy when the Qing army kills.
Fighting on the battlefield, in addition to the spirit of not being afraid of death, is physical strength.
"I have time to play chess with Dao Chang Haosheng when I go back."
After nodding slightly, Wang Wu led people away.
I just couldn't help but stop after walking for a long time.
The two children with big neck disease just now made his heart really painful.
It's also very boring.
After thinking about it, he asked his own soldiers to call Xu Lin and instructed the other party to go to the Qing army defense line opposite to send a message to himself.
The new Qing troops on the opposite line of defense were the troops of the old acquaintance Adjutant General Niu
The old cow is very alive these days, because it has risen!
is no longer a deputy general, but a Yunyang general who is in charge alone.
The predecessor was Mu Shenghui, who had just been martyred.
It was Niu Wancheng's old boss, Huguang Governor Dong Xueli, who tried his best to sponsor the Governor Zhang Changgeng and Jingxi General Mulima for important positions.
Lao Niu, who became the chief soldier, now has a very hard waist, not only accommodating more than 1,000 defeated soldiers in the Xunyang Green Battalion, but also bringing him 3,000 new Ming troops to surrender.
As a result, the strength of the cattle department soared sharply to 7,000 people.
A true general.
Of course, all this is thanks to Wang Wu's kid.
In this regard, Lao Niu admits it and puts it in his heart.
But that's about it.
Because the accounts of both sides are settled.
From now on, soldiers and thieves will not be separated!
So when Qi Yikui, who was also promoted to general, came to tell him that Wang Wu on the other side sent someone to spread a message saying that he wanted to meet and talk to him in private, Lao Niu immediately became furious: "I'll talk about him as a grandmother!" Don't talk about it, let someone get out of here! ”
"Adults really don't talk to him?"
Qi Yikui had to determine whether what the Chief Soldier said was true or false.
Lao Niu was angry: "Since ancient times, soldiers and thieves have not stood apart, my Niu Wancheng was born as a Qing Dynasty person, and died as a Qing Dynasty ghost, what is there to talk about with the same thief!" ”
After hesitating, Qi Yikui said in a low voice: "My lord, Wang Wu said that if you don't want to talk to him, go talk to Yu Dahai and Mu Shenghui." ”
"Huh? What do you mean? ”
The old cow was excited, and his brows furrowed.
"If the adults don't talk about it, Wang Wu will come to beat us, he said that if he can kill Yu Dahai and Mu Shenghui, he can kill you, my lord."
Qi Yikui told the truth.
That's what I said.
"Damn, it's too much of a deception! Lao Tzu has never seen such a shameless person when he is so big! He has such a big breath, is it really made of wax! ”
Niu Wancheng's face turned blue with anger, slapped his head violently, gritted his teeth and said, "Tell that over there, I'll meet him at the moment." ”
"Good!"
Qi Yikui breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went to reply to the person sent by Wang Wu.
It soon got dark, and after suffering to the end of the day, Niu Wancheng quietly sneaked out of the Chinese military tent and came to the front of Qi Yikui's defense line.
Qi Yikui, who had already cleared the field and waited, hurriedly raised the lantern and shook it three times towards the opposite side.
Soon, the lantern on the opposite side also lit up and shook three times.
This is the right signal.
"Phew!"
Niu Wancheng, who was neither reluctant nor willing, stiffened his head and walked forward with two personal soldiers from the paving road paved by Qi Yikui across the defensive line.
The lantern on the opposite side is also approaching.
After a while, the two sides met.
found that Niu Wancheng actually wore the top of the second rank of the general soldier, Wang Wu couldn't help but be stunned: "Promoted? ”
"Well, it's up."
Niu Wancheng said in a muffled voice and swept around again, and he couldn't see anything in the dark.
After hearing this, Wang Wu said "oh": "I have also risen." ”
