The wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty

All the gentry and landowners in Yunxi County were killed by the bandits without exception, and the gentry and landowners in the surrounding villages who hid in the city to avoid disaster were also not spared.

The rogue bandits aggressively pursued stolen goods for payment in Yunxi County. He sent a large number of soldiers to search the homes and hiding places of local gentry and landowners, tortured the captured gentry and landlords, and plundered gold and silver property.

On December [-], the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Chen Wang led his troops to "recover" Yunxi County.

The rogue bandits entrenched in Yunxi County fled in the face of the wind. Chen Wang led his troops to pursue the victory and defeated the rogue bandits.

The rogue bandits were completely defeated, leaving behind a lot of looted gold and silver baggage, and fled north again into the Yunyang Mountains.

In the battle to regain Yunxi, he beheaded [-] people and captured more than [-] enemies, and then led his troops to station in Yunxi County.

Although Yunxi County was regained, most of the city walls in the county were demolished by rogue bandits, and almost all city defense facilities were burned to the ground.

More importantly, it was not only the gentry and landlords who were killed by rogue bandits in the city. Most of the county government officials, large and small, were killed by rogue bandits. Only a few government officials with good reputations in the past remained. Come down.

Although Yunxi County has been recovered, it has fallen into a state of anarchy.

Chen Wang then logically announced that Yunxi County would be temporarily placed under military control and the camp would be located in the east of the county.

The east side of Yunxi County has become the main camp of the Hanzhong Army.

There were [-] regular soldiers under Chen Wang's command, and [-] native soldiers who followed him northward.

Zhang Er and Huang Long also led their troops back to Yunxi. The two groups had more than [-] troops, and the fourth battalion totaled more than [-] people. At this time, they were all stationed in the eastern suburbs of Yunxi County.

As time goes by, the weather becomes colder and colder, and many places in the Yunbei Mountains are already covered with snow.

Except for the Hanzhong Army's camp, the rest of the countryside in the east of Yunxi County was already covered with a thin layer of snow.

In the early morning, with the sound of the wake-up horn, the originally silent Hanzhong Army Camp gradually became popular.

A thin mist drifted between the campsites, reducing visibility to an extremely low level.

Although it is freezing cold, the soldiers of the Hanzhong Army still need to obey military orders.

When the harsh trumpet sound just sounded, Zhou Changshou had already woken up.

The temperature in the military tent was much warmer than in the ice and snow, but it was still considered cold.

It really takes a lot of perseverance for a normal person to get out of the warm bed.

But for Zhou Changshou, all this is just routine.

He joined the army at the end of the eighth year of Chongzhen. It has been four years now and he has already become a veteran.

For four years, I almost woke up to the same sound every day, and everything had become a conditioned reflex.

The coldness in his body did not change Zhou Changshou's expression at all. Four years of experience made him truly become a soldier, and he no longer looked like a farmer.

After sitting up, Zhou Changshou directly picked up the coat placed on the quilt and quickly put it on.

The winter quilts issued are not very good at keeping warm, so many times in winter, most soldiers of the Hanzhong Army will put their winter coats on the quilts to increase the warmth.

The winter clothes of the Hanzhong army were the same as those of the ordinary Ming army, and they were all red coats.

The red coats of the Ming army were knee-length, had narrow sleeves, and were lined with cotton. In fact, they were just cotton clothes.

The cotton clothes worn by the cavalry are different from those worn by the infantry. Because they need to ride horses, the cotton clothes worn by the knights are all double-breasted. The two breasts are split, and the buttons are in the middle of the chest. The appearance is similar to some windbreakers of later generations.

Zhou Changshou wore this kind of cavalry cotton uniform similar to a windbreaker.

The reason why he wears such cotton clothes is not because he became a cavalryman, but because he has now become the deputy director of the Bureau.

Relying on his military exploits in the two battles outside Zhending City and Qingshan Pass, Zhou Changshou successfully rose to the rank of Flag Master.

The biggest reason why Zhou Changshou was promoted to Vice President was the Battle of King Qin. Only half of the [-] people who followed Chen Wang north were able to return to Hanzhong Mansion, and many died in the North.

The upgrade of Hanzhong Town led to the expansion of the main barracks. A large number of new recruits poured in, creating many vacant positions.

Therefore, Zhou Changshou's military position also increased along with it, and he was promoted from flag general to deputy chief executive.

Zhou Changshou fastened his cotton-padded clothes, and then put on his helmet, cloth face armor, and ring-iron arm shield in order.

The other soldiers in the tent also wore their own clothes and armor in an orderly manner.

Zhou Changshou was very fast, and when he stepped out of the military tent, only a handful of soldiers came out.

The first drum beat hasn't stopped yet, it's still early. In the open space where they gathered in the bureau, Huang Hu, the chief executive, stood in the center of the open space with his hands behind his back.

Huang Hu was not the only person standing in the open space. On the left side of Huang Hu, a young man with a short mustache was standing with a knife, his back straight like a javelin.

That young man was the military judge named Liang Zhanquan who had recently been appointed to their bureau from above.

Zhou Changshou stepped forward and bowed to Huang Hu and Liang Zhanquan, who also bowed back to Zhou Changshou.

Many of the military regulations of the Hanzhong Army were formulated by Chen Wang. The military regulations of the Qi Family Army were used as a reference. Chen Wang also changed many of them, so many of the regulations were different from other armies.

The kneeling salute in the army was almost abolished by Chen Wang. In the military camp or when meeting each other, ordinary military salutes were all replaced by ordinary military salutes. After the subordinates saluted, the superiors must also salute back to the subordinates.

Only during major events such as account upgrades, it is still the norm.

As Vice President, Zhou Changshou's position was on the right side of Huang Hu, exactly opposite Liang Zhanquan.

After standing in the open space, Zhou Changshou glanced at Liang Zhanquan out of the corner of his eye, and then looked back.

These military judges sent down from above all have the same imposing manner as Liang Zhanquan, and they can be recognized at a glance among the crowd.

Many of these military judges are very rigid in their behavior. They strictly adhere to military discipline and often do not show any mercy.

But this is only true when fighting and training. In normal times, he is very approachable and even tells some stories to them in his spare time.

What about General Yue's Northern Expedition to gold miners, about Grandpa Qi's fight against the Japanese in the southeast, etc. These are all strange and strange things that they have never heard of. Although they are much worse than the storyteller, this is one of the few times they can relax. .

Compared to before, it was much better to just stay in the military camp with nothing to do during rest.

Moreover, all the military judges are literate, and they know a lot of words. The commander-in-chief has set up a literacy hall under the division. When the training is suspended, they are all required to attend the literacy hall. The person who teaches them literacy is the division. Military judge within.

If anyone doesn't understand, the military judges of the bureau and flag will explain it to them later.

Therefore, Zhou Changshou did not have much ill feelings towards these military judges.

In Zhou Changshou's view, these military judges all know a lot of words, understand a lot of principles, and know a lot of stories from the past, so they must be scholars.

Scholars are a bit arrogant and rigid, which are not considered shortcomings, at least not in Zhou Changshou's impression.

Zhou Changshou raised his hand and touched the booklet placed on his chest and abdomen. There were more than ten different characters written on the booklet. These were all characters he had recognized over the past few days.

"You are a bunch of little bastards. If our flag's evaluation this month is even worse, I will beat you to death."

Huang Hu looked embarrassed, cursed, and glanced fiercely at the soldiers who came out later.

All the soldiers who were swept by Huang Hu's gaze couldn't help but feel shocked, and they only felt a little more chilled.

Liang Zhanquan glanced at Huang Hu slightly and said nothing.

In the Hanzhong Army, not only ordinary soldiers are assessed, but grassroots organizations are also assessed.

Generally, assessments are conducted on a bureau-by-bureau basis, and are also divided into three levels: upper, middle, lower, and unsatisfactory. Rewards and punishments are given based on the assessment standards.

Under the guidance of their respective team leaders and flag generals, groups of Hanzhong Army soldiers who had just gotten up and put on their clothes slowly gathered towards the school field.

The drums on the school field were beating loudly and gradually began to gain popularity. The three drums stopped and all soldiers who were on training missions had to rush to the school field. This is military law.

But after all, it is winter now, and the training time is much shorter than usual. Moreover, training is only required in the morning, and the afternoon is basically rest time.

The three drums stopped, and all the soldiers of the Hanzhong Army stood in formation on the school field.

With the subsequent sound of drums and bugles, the camp of the Hanzhong Army gradually began to become noisy.

The noise outside the camp did not disturb Chen Wang, who was sitting in the Chinese military tent.

Hu Zhiyi is now doing all the army training. In this situation, he does not need to be personally involved.

Chen Wang was wearing a lapel-collared cotton cloak and was sitting in front of the burning charcoal brazier.

There was a constant crackling sound in the charcoal brazier. Chen Wang held a wooden stick and fiddled with the charcoal fire in the charcoal brazier.

Except for Chen Wang, Hu Zhili was the only one in the tent. He was sitting next to Chen Wang and warming the charcoal fire with Chen Wang.

I'm in a bad state recently. I'm really sorry. I'm really trying my best to write.
