Chapter 361 Meat Tonight

On August 12th, the [-]th year of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, at Shenshi, dark clouds gradually gathered in the sky, and the dark clouds threatened to overwhelm the city.

Zhang Cheng lingered at the craftsman's camp for almost a whole day before arriving at the Yunzhou Posthouse, and he felt that the sky had darkened instantly, as if it were night.

Lu Dachun, the Post Office Chancellor, was warmly greeting Zhang Cheng, and he also called each other handsomely, before welcoming Zhang Cheng and others into the post house, he felt that the sky was dark and dark clouds were pressing down on the city.

While Yunzhou defended Chiyuan, Cangshangbao Qianhutian Zhenshang, Wei Zhice, Shi Tiegen, Lin Fangping and others all stayed in the living room, tasting tea and chatting with each other.

"Lu Dachun, you stay here!"

Lu Dachun hastily ordered the postmen to light up the lamps and candles, and personally invited Zhang Cheng into the quiet room inside, and served him fragrant tea. He was about to turn around and leave, but was called by Zhang Cheng.

Lu Dachun stood sideways obediently, waiting for Zhang Cheng's orders, with the usual smile on his face, his smiling face gave people the feeling of being very gentle and sincere.

"Lv Dachun, you have been in the post for more than six years, have you ever thought about changing positions?" Zhang Cheng casually asked while sipping some tea.

Lu Dachun was extremely excited in his heart, the smile on his face froze for a moment, and soon returned to normal.

"Pfft!"

He actually knelt down in front of Zhang Cheng, kowtowed and said: "The villain Lu Dachun is willing to be driven by the commander, and swears his allegiance to the commander to the death!"

"Ha ha……"

Zhang Cheng laughed loudly, and he said: "You guys, everyone said they would swear allegiance to the death, and if you are really dead, who else will do things for me?

This commander only needs you to serve me sincerely, overcome difficulties together, create a new situation in the North Road, and let us live a happy life together. "

"Don't worry about the villain, Lu Dachun is willing to follow the commander in chief and serve him, and he will do things with sincerity. Please rest assured, the commander in chief."

Zhang Cheng looked at Lu Dachun who was kneeling on the ground with satisfaction, and then said softly: "Okay, get up, I'm going to get married this month, there are many visitors from all over the world, and I really need someone to take care of all the affairs, so I have the heart to tune you in." Go to serve in the Red Castle, and greet guests from all parties on behalf of the commander.”

A gleam of light flashed in Lu Dachun's eyes, anyone who could come to Zhang Cheng's wedding banquet was not a senior official with a certain level, and a low-ranking person like him would not hesitate to grab such an opportunity.

He got up lightly, bowed and stood aside, and then said softly: "Please rest assured, Commander, the villain will definitely do his best to handle the reception, but..."

Zhang Cheng looked up at Lu Dachun who was still smiling, and asked, "But it's okay!"

The smile on Lu Dachun's face did not change, but he said with a look of fear: "The villain is a person who is not good, I am afraid that he will lose the face of the commander before the guests from all walks of life come to congratulate him on the new year!"

"Ha ha……"

Zhang Cheng saw through Lu Dachun's small thoughts at a glance, and couldn't help laughing loudly, he said indifferently: "It's okay, you are mine, who dare not give you face, ah?

How about this, you weigh it first and recommend a suitable candidate to replace you as the postman here, and leave for Chicheng General Office within two days. "

"Yes, the villain has written it down. Commander, please rest for a while, and the villain will go to urge the food."

…………

On August [-]th, more than [-] miles north of Mayukou Fort in Baoanzhou, Xuanzhen East Road, there was a campsite in the second part of Dushibuying.

Cheng Sanhu had just put the holster on the bird blunderbuss that had been cleaned and maintained. He tied up the holster and placed it on the shelf outside the camp. , twisting his waist vigorously back and forth from side to side.

He only heard two soft "clicks" from Cheng Sanhu's waist, which only he could hear, and immediately felt comfortable and refreshed all over his body.

"You son of a bitch, it finally stopped today!" Cheng Sanhu shook his thick neck, remembering what happened in the past few days after leaving North Road.

Today is already the fourth day since they left the North Road.

Since passing through Yangtian Fort, it has been three consecutive days of marching, except for the first day, it was relatively peaceful, but since passing through Diaohao Fort, there have been inexplicable enemy attacks every day.

He waited under the command of the superiors, desperately seized the high ground, arranged troops according to the terrain, and prepared for the battle with all his strength, but whenever they mustered up their energy and showed their killing intent, those sudden enemy raiders came one after another. retreat without a fight.

Every day, in order to prevent the bandits from raiding, they have to form a stronghold, dig trenches outside, and set up far and near bright posts, dark posts, and mobile posts, but no trace of bandits has ever been seen.

When setting up camp the next day, they had to work hard to remove the fence walls, fill up the trenches, level the cesspit, etc., which had been erected with great painstaking efforts the night before.

Especially yesterday afternoon, when hundreds of bandit cavalry attacked again, the whole army formed a battle formation again, but they still fled without fighting. Dig trenches and set up light and dark posts everywhere.

In order to prevent bandits and cavalry raids, it was still the same as the day before yesterday, but yesterday it was changed to the infantry division A and the rangers to form an formation outside to store up energy and guard, while the second division was in charge of digging trenches and trenches. After a lot of tossing, everyone It was exhausted and half dead, and the stronghold was formed, but the enemy's attack was never seen.

…………

Today, after setting up the camp and pulling out the camp, although the bandits and cavalry have not been harassed again, the whole battalion marched in a hurry. Although they still stopped every ten miles to regroup the team, they did not bury the pot and cook at noon. All the soldiers were chewing while walking. Dry food to satisfy hunger and add some strength.

After days of marching and preparing for the war, everyone was complaining in their hearts, but no sergeant dared to speak out and complain. Since the establishment of the Dushibu Battalion, the general master Zhang Cheng has been implementing the new military law, which is by no means child's play.

Who dares to offend?
Especially when Liu Changliang, the commander-in-chief of Division A, got off his horse and walked all the way with the soldiers, this also boosted the morale a lot out of thin air, and lifted the spirits of the soldiers. complaint.

Jin Yong and Chen Zhong have been adhering to Zhang Cheng's teachings, making good use of this battle to train soldiers in various aspects.

Today, although they didn't arrange the scene of the attack, they still marched for [-] miles in a hurry, and then changed the route and turned back for [-] miles on the grounds of discovering banditry.

The army finally arrived at the pre-determined campsite at Shenshi, and formed a car city stronghold again, dug trenches outside, and set up bright and dark posts everywhere.

Today, it will be replaced by the sergeants of Division A of Division B to dig trenches, while Division B and the rangers will be responsible for forming a guard outside the camp.

Cheng Sanhu and all the soldiers were outside the gate wall. After digging a circle of trenches, he was so tired that he was about to collapse. At this moment, he heard Tan Hesheng, the chief of the armor, shouting loudly: "Everyone cheer up, Tidy up the ditches, there is bacon to eat tonight!"

As soon as they heard that there was meat, the crowd regained their strength. They quickly tidied up the trenches, put up their picks and shovels, and all of them went to the gate of the camp in a group with happy faces.
