The wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 302 Soldiers
Naturally, the final performer in the martial arts performance was the Liao Cavalry under Chen Wang.

There were nearly a thousand Liao cavalry who originally followed Chen Wangbei to King Qin, but now there are only more than [-] left.

These Liao cavalry originally followed Zhang Waijia all the way to the north and south, and they were all veteran soldiers.

Later, after being reorganized by Chen Wang, he has been following Chen Wang in battles and expeditions.

After going through Jizhong, Hanzhong, Xing'an, Heishuiyu, and King Wuyin Qin successively, five battles and dozens of battles, they all crawled out from the sea of ​​blood and corpses.

Since they came under the command of Chen Wang, their training standards have been much higher than before in Liaodong.

These Liao cavalry have always been regarded by the imperial court and other camps as Chen Wang's retainers, so the imperial court did not impose any restrictions on Chen Wang's move of the family members of these retainers to Hanzhong Mansion.

Anyway, as long as Chen Wang's family members are still in Liaodong and not in Hanzhong Mansion, Chen Wang will definitely surrender even if he really wants to rebel.

The division, gathering, and formation were completed almost instantly, and they were already familiar with these things.

Once the strategy of riding on the wall and charging was used, everyone was amazed.

From the start to the charge, the several columns of wall riders are really like a moving city wall, and the charge is like a huge wave.

On the second day after the martial arts performance, Chen Wang found an excuse to enter the soldiers' barracks.

Perhaps due to the influence of the previous martial arts performance, Ma Yuanshan and Ma Yuying waited at the camp gate with a group of native soldiers. The attitude of the people was much more enthusiastic than before in the camp.

Originally, Chen Wang thought that the camp of the native soldiers should be different from the ordinary Ming army, but after entering the camp, what he saw was almost the same as what he saw in other camps and towns.

Both the military tents and utensils were basically the same. After asking Ma Yuanshan, I found out that their Bizka, except for the slightly different clothing, many things were actually the same as those in the Han Dynasty.

Within the scope of the Six Great Xuanwei Division, many ordinary native people can speak Chinese.

Tusi families, many chiefs, and cave owners often even wear Han clothes and Han hair crowns.

Only on major festivals and occasions will they wear their original costumes.

And these original costumes also have a strong Chinese style to many extents.

Bizka originally lived at the very edge of the southwest mountainous area, adjacent to the Han region. Therefore, Bizka and the Han region had frequent exchanges a long time ago. After the establishment of the Xuanwei Department, the exchanges between each other became even more intense. frequently.

Except for clothing, even beliefs, festivals, and traditions are similar to those in Han Dynasty.

In the six major Xuanweisi areas, there are Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, which are almost the same as those in Han Dynasty.

"If there is no war, Chen Shuai can come to our stone pillar and have a good tour during this season."

Ma Yuanshan walked beside Chen Wang, looking very relaxed and smiling boldly.

The governors and general soldiers they met on weekdays, when they got along with them, their nostrils were almost raised to the sky.

Chen Wang's impression of Ma Yuanshan was undoubtedly much better. Not only did he not assume a condescending attitude, but on the contrary, he treated them with great courtesy.

And in words, Qin Liangyu admired them very much for his condolences to them, and even made him feel honored.

During the war, they did not treat their soldiers as cannon fodder.

In the Battle of Baituguan, the vanguard of the Hanzhong Army and the Shaanxi Army were the first to fight.

They followed and charged at the rear, not suffering many casualties, but gaining a lot of military exploits for nothing.

"I've heard that Shizhu has beautiful mountains and clear waters. If it weren't for the war, I would really like to go on a tour."

Chen Wang also smiled when he heard this and said with a smile.

"At this time in previous years, many parts of the stone pillars were covered by wind and snow..."

As Ma Yuanshan spoke, his tone gradually became lower.

Chen Wang noticed something strange about Ma Yuanshan and asked immediately.

"Why did Ma Gueryi feel so depressed all of a sudden?"

Chen Wang's words also helped Ma Yuanshan get out of his depressed state at this time.

Ma Yuanshan showed a little sadness on his face and forced a smile.

"It really made Chen Shuai laugh. It has been almost a year since I left my hometown when I was called to fight. The wind and snow here reminded me of old things in my hometown."

"Usually at this time of year, when the mountains are covered with heavy snow, it's the time when we, Xuanwei Division, go to war."

"Fighting?"

Chen Wang repeated the words Ma Yuanshan said. Although he recognized the two words, he really didn't understand the meaning of them together.

"Watching is our tradition. Chen Shuai can understand it as your hunting. However, most of your Han lands are in the plains and woods. We live in mountainous areas, but we hunt in the mountains, so fighting can also be called chasing the mountains. "

"Like now when heavy snow has just covered the mountains, most snakes and insects retreat. Wild boars, deer deer, sheep, deer and other wild beasts in the mountains are full of fat. It is also the time when jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains are hiding in caves, and they are hunting. A good time."

"In many villages and towns in similar areas, the leaders and cave owners will organize young men to block the roads in the mountains with weapons. Women will help block the roads, and then round up the prey one by one."

Chen Wang noticed that Ma Yuanshan's eyes were bright when he talked about old things about his hometown, and the surrounding soldiers also looked yearning.

"The scene is most grand and spectacular at night, with torches all over the mountains and plains."

Ma Yuanshan's emotions became more and more high as he spoke, but he seemed to feel that his words and actions were inappropriate, so he did not continue talking and changed to another topic.

"Nowadays, the country is in turmoil and bandits are incessant. It is a pity that Chen Shuai cannot come to our Xuanwei Department."

"According to Chen Shuai's ability, I'm afraid he can catch the most prey. If he can kill a tiger, it will be praised by everyone."

Chen Wang's mind was also moving. The grand scene described by Ma Yuanshan really made him want to experience it.

Activities such as hunting deer, deer, sheep and deer are to obtain meat for the winter, and hunting wild boars is also to preserve the harvest of rice fields.

In addition, they also need to hunt wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountains to reduce the number of wolves, tigers and leopards, so that their residences and people can be safer.

The reason why the local soldiers are good at fighting and fierce is precisely because of the harsh environment in which they live. They live in the mountains, surrounded by jackals, tigers, and leopards, and coexist with snakes, insects, rats, and ants.

These natives, who have grown up in the mountains since childhood, are undoubtedly the best soldiers.

They are brave and tough, and with just a little training, they can develop a strong army.

And the most important thing is that they will always follow the people they recognize unswervingly.

Throughout history, they have always followed Qin Liangyu in fighting, fighting bandits, and fighting fiercely with the Qing army.

Until the 13th year of Yongli, due to Sun Kewang's betrayal, the Qing army invaded Yunnan, and the entire southwest was almost controlled by the Qing army.Shizhu persisted as an isolated island for many years, but finally reached its limit. In the end, Qin Liangyu's grandson Ma Wannian led his people to surrender in despair, and everything settled.

"Tiger?"

Chen Wang subconsciously thought of the fierce tiger he met on King Qin's journey.

He wondered in a wicked way whether Fierce as a Tiger was true to his name and was more ferocious than a tiger.

"I have only seen tigers once in Liaodong and have never hunted them. However, I have indeed hunted a lot of jackals and leopards."

When they were servants in Liaodong, they often went into the mountains to hunt in groups in their spare time.

Being able to catch prey would bring in some income. Chen Wang's shooting skills were practiced in the high mountains of Liaodong.

Chen Wang had indeed seen the tiger. He had seen it before at the zoo, and he had seen it deep in his memory in the mountains of Liaodong.

Chen Wang, Chen Gong, Hu Zhiyi, and Hu Zhili happened to encounter a giant tiger lying on the mountain path on their way into the mountain.

The giant tiger may have had enough to eat and drink, and it had obviously discovered their traces, but in the end it allowed them to leave.

The deepest memory is a pair of tiger eyes that are not angry but powerful.

The South China tiger is smaller than the Siberian tiger, but it should not be underestimated. Even if there are many people hunting, and everyone is armed with weapons, casualties will often occur.

"Chen Shuai bravely defeated the three armies, and his arrow fixed the tree stand, but he didn't have a chance. If he encountered a tiger in the forest when he was well prepared, he would definitely win with Chen Shuai's skills."

Ma Yuanshan's expression was solemn, as if he was stating another definite fact.

A general echoed Ma Yuanshan's words and recounted the matter solemnly.

"Chen Shuai doesn't need to shoot a tiger to prove his bravery. In our hearts, you are more brave than the hero who shoots a tiger."

His words attracted the affirmation of more people around him.

Chen Wang felt a little strange. From the words of the people around him, he could hear their respect for him.

What they said did not seem to be flattering words, but they came from the heart and were sincere.

This is a bit unreasonable. Chen Wang originally came here to patrol the camp as an excuse to allocate some military resources to win over these local soldiers.

In fact, Chen Wang had already noticed the clues from the very beginning. Since he first entered the camp, all the soldiers looked at him with eyes full of respect and excitement.

Chen Wang knew his reputation very clearly, and he also knew very clearly that what he did could only make the soldiers feel a little favored, but would not gain such great respect.

Chen Wang did not ask the doubts in his heart, which were quickly answered by Ma Yuanshan.

"In the battle of King Chen Shuaiqin, he greatly defeated the slaves, beheaded thousands of slave thieves, killed thousands of enemies, and avenged our compatriots who died on the banks of the Hun River."

"Compared with Chen Shuai's bravery, Shehu is just Xiaoyong."

After listening to what Ma Yuanshan said, Chen Wang suddenly realized that the reason for everything was because of the battle in Hunhe.

Because they were so far apart in time, Chen Wang did not connect the two events.

In the Battle of Hunhe River, Qin Liangyu's brother Qin Bangping died on the banks of the Hunhe River, along with thousands of white-pole soldiers.

The blood feud between the local soldiers and the Qing court had been forged as early as the Tianqi years.

He defeated the Qing army at Qingshan Pass, which was indeed regarded as revenge.

In order to boost morale, the imperial court has been vigorously promoting the victory of Qingshan Pass. Some people even called it the greatest victory since Liaozuo used troops.

The Qing army killed one Gushan Ezhen and killed many generals. They captured thousands of heads and killed even more.

Later, according to reliable intelligence, Yue Tuo, the leader of the Zhenghong Banner of the Qing Army, also did not come out alive.

Shortly after the Qing army left the country, Yue Tuo's funeral began to be held in the capital.

It was said that he died of illness, but under the propaganda of the Ming court, rumors in the pass said that Yue Tuo died due to injuries sustained in a fierce battle and was too serious to be treated.

To be honest, Chen Wang never imagined that his fighting in the north would actually gain the friendship of the local soldiers.

However, this is also related to my attitude towards them, which is not as condescending and contemptuous as the officials in those places.

"It's serious."

Chen Wang clasped his fists in his hands, with mixed feelings in his heart. What he had tried so hard to do, had actually already been done.

He did not need to exchange military supplies and favors for the camaraderie of the sepoys, for he already had their gratitude.

Chen Wang's modest behavior also made the generals and colonels of the local soldiers favor him more.

Although he had gained the friendship of the native soldiers, Chen Wang finally followed the original plan and took out the military supplies on the grounds that the native soldiers' weapons were dilapidated and they lacked food and clothing during the inspection of the military camp.

Thousands of sets of winter clothes, thousands of collars of armor, as well as many weapons and shields, and a batch of grain and rice were also transferred.

Facing this sudden gift, Ma Yuanshan and the generals of the local soldiers were completely unexpected.

They have been called to war for a long time, and the court has always been stingy in allocating military resources.

Those logistics officials were even more harsh on him. Like Chen Wang, he took the initiative to allocate a large amount of military resources.

"Chen Shuai does not think that we are humble, and treats us so politely. I have nothing to repay. On the battlefield, I can only advance and not retreat, and there is death but no life."

Ma Yuanshan was so excited that he half-knelt on the ground and made an impassioned oath. A group of local soldiers and generals also bowed down together with Ma Yuanshan.

Being famous can sometimes save a lot of trouble. This is what Chen Wang is thinking now.

During the Xing'an period, all the generals in Sichuan and Shaanxi were controlled by him based on his reputation alone.

Just by virtue of his reputation in the soldiers' camp, he was already respected by them.

Although the price paid for the Battle of King Qin was heavy, the results obtained were far more generous than Chen Wang expected.

After Chen Wang finished inspecting the entire camp of the native soldiers, a group of native soldier generals surrounded Chen Wang and walked out of the camp gate.

Chen Wang did not do anything superfluous. After inspecting the camp of the soldiers, he said goodbye to Ma Yuanshan, Ma Yuying and other local soldiers generals at the camp gate, and returned to the location of the base camp.

　I have some cold symptoms these past few days, and I feel dizzy. There may be some quality issues. Dear book friends, please forgive me. I will make adjustments as soon as possible.
