In addition, the Ming court provided good treatment for the rewards and money given to these volunteers.

Therefore, even though Jia Qijin had just come to Daming, it hadn't been long.

But he was somewhat loyal to Daming.

Looking at the group under him, they started to twist and turn after walking not too far, completely losing the disappointment of the formation.

Looking at the Guangfu Army not far away, they walked for a long time, but they were still very organized, and Jia Qijin's liver hurt.

Comparing the two, these Guiyi soldiers like myself look like a bunch of mobs!
"Fuck me, make my movements more sloppy!"

"Look at the Restoration Army next to you, and then look at you, everyone is a soldier of Ming Dynasty, why is there such a big gap?"

The soldiers of the Restoration Army are generally very strong in physical strength!
The repertoire of daily training, weight-bearing cross-country training is not for nothing.

After maintaining a relatively strict formation for a long time, there is no trace of fatigue on their faces.

Singing military singers, the voice is still loud!

It shows their high morale and still strong physical strength!
Looking at the state of the recovery army marching, Jia Qijin seriously suspected that this was not at full speed, and the recovery army still had spare strength.

Marching seventy or eighty miles a day, there is still room to spare. In this era, such a marching speed is simply unimaginable.

Especially for infantry!

A Guiyi soldier shrank his neck and said in a low voice.

"Compared to the treatment of the soldiers of the Restoration Army, we Guiyi soldiers are no different from those raised by stepmothers. Everyone's food and food are different."

"Why do you ask us to behave like those Liberation Army?"

Although Zhu Hongyu's treatment for the Guiyi Army was not bad, at least it was much better than when they were Green Battalion soldiers.

But as the saying goes, the same rice feeds all kinds of people, and if some people are satisfied, others will naturally be dissatisfied.

Many soldiers who returned to the Rebellion Army, after learning about the treatment of the soldiers of the Restoration Army, felt envious and jealous at the same time.

There are a lot of complaints in the army!
When Jia Qijin heard the words, he squinted and said in a very bad tone.

"What the fuck are you talking about?"

"His Royal Highness Jian Guo didn't care about the crimes of us surrendering to the Qing captives and being traitors in the past. He spared us decades of hard labor and organized us into the Guiyi Army. We have never been ill-treated in terms of food, salaries and weapons."

"Such a great kindness, what do you want if you are not grateful?!"

"Envy the treatment of the Restoration Army?"

"Think it's unfair?"

"But don't you fucking forget that we are prisoners of war at best, but traitors at worst."

"It's not bad if you can save your life, what else do you want!"

"Besides, His Highness Jian Guo didn't say that we people must always be in the Guiyi Army, and we cannot be in the Restoration Army!"

"As long as you make military achievements on the battlefield, you will be able to climb up the fucking ranks, you will be able to be a member of the Restoration Army, and you will be able to become an officer!"

"If you envy the treatment of the Guangfu Army, then you should risk your life and fight for it."

"..."

The disgruntled Guiyi soldier was so ashamed by what Jia Qijin said, he shrank his neck and stopped talking.

……

On the second day, the Ming army rested overnight on the banks of the Yangtze River. After the dawn was buried and cooking, they were ready to break out of camp and set off.

However, as soon as the army pulled out of the camp, Zhu Hongyu received the reward from the sentry cavalry.

"Reporting to Your Highness Jian Guo, our army's sentry cavalry meets the Qing army's sentry cavalry."

"The Qing army took the initiative to go out of the city, preparing to face our Great Ming King's Division. Their vanguard is less than [-] miles away from our army!"

"..."

When Zhu Hongyu heard this, a trace of solemnity flashed across his face, and he spoke.

"Command the army, prepare to unload weapons and ordnance from the transport ship, and be ready to go into battle at any time to meet the Qing captives!"

"The goal of this battle is to wipe out the Jiangning Eight Banners of the Qing court!"

All the generals agreed in unison.

Following Zhu Hongyu's order, the Ming army stopped marching.

The transport ship came ashore, and a large number of weapons and ordnance were removed from the transport ship.

A set of heavy armor, barrels of gunpowder and lead bullets, boxes of grenades, rockets...

And a small-caliber artillery for infantry support firepower, such as tiger squatting guns, mortar guns, and Buddha Wolf machine guns.

It was transported non-stop!

In terms of fire suppression, the naval guns on the fleet are responsible.

Therefore, in this battle, the Ming army did not need to transport those field artillery that cost thousands of catties at every turn.

Just pull some small-caliber light artillery to the battlefield to support the front-line infantry.

Countless peasants are like busy worker ants, constantly busy, loading and unloading materials from the ship in line.

Countless gunpowder, shells and other things were piled up and distributed to the hands of the troops!

The musketeers of the Restoration Army began to wear breastplates and polish their bayonets.

After the heavy armor soldiers had a good meal and solved their personal physical problems, with the help of the auxiliary soldiers, they began to put on armor piece by piece.

The innermost layer is a silk inner layer, and then a layer of animal fur lining for warmth.

And then, a layer of chain mail.

The outermost part is used to protect the torso, the breastplate made of fine steel, and the shawl, skirt armor and other iron armor used to protect the limbs.

The work of wearing armor for heavy armor is quite cumbersome. Even with the help of auxiliary soldiers, it will take at least ten or twenty minutes to put it on.

The cavalrymen of the Ming army were also sorting out their equipment and comforting their horses.

Without exception, no one in the Ming army had the slightest fear in the face of the upcoming battle.

Unlike the Ming army in those years at the end of Ming Dynasty, the current Ming army is a new army. They have no fear of the Qing army, whether it is the Green Battalion or the Eight Banners.

Since the Ming army became an army, the outstanding achievements in battles have created their pride and undefeated belief.

No matter who the enemy is, just do it!
Not cowardly!

……

The Ming army was preparing for the battle in full swing, and the Qing army also received news of encountering the sentry cavalry of the Ming army.

The rapid sound of the report made the Qing army tremble immediately.

Lang Tingzuo sat on the horseback and looked towards the east. In a daze, he seemed to see a huge fleet covering the sky and covering the sun.

It reminded him of the scene when Zheng Chenggong came to commit the crime a few years ago.

Countless large and small warships almost occupied the entire river, and tens of thousands of Zheng troops threatened Jiang Ning, which really frightened Lang Tingzuo.

If it weren't for the fact that he used the strategy of slowing down the army to delay Zheng Chenggong, so that he didn't attack the city immediately.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Qing army in Jiangnan and Jiangbei pressed from all directions and defeated Zheng Chenggong.

I'm afraid Jiang Ning would have been taken down by Zheng Chenggong if it weren't for that time!
Relying on Zheng's influence throughout Jiangnan and Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi.

At that time, I'm afraid it will be another catastrophe that will change the color of the southern country.

It's just that he was able to defeat Zheng Chenggong back then, and luck was a big reason.

Now, they have no confidence in whether they can defeat the Ming army that invaded Jiangning again!
