The wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 31 Recommended
Standing on the low platform and looking down, what Chen Wang saw was one face after another with a little fear.

The soldiers of the four bureaus, 450 and three, all stood on the school field with their heads held high.

Not only the recruits from the third inning received the training, but the veterans from the other inning also received the same training.

These veterans basically had nothing to criticize in terms of formation, Chen Wang just improved his stance.

Chen Wang's eyes moved a little to the right, and the veterans were standing on the far right side of the queue.

Although the soldiers in that round wore the same clothes as the recruits in the other three rounds, they also wore hats and flags.

But at a glance, the gap between the two can be discerned, as if an invisible gully lay between them.

During the seven-day queue training, the 370 recruits could barely distinguish between left and right by relying on army sticks, corrected their standing and walking postures, and mastered the basic queue.

They can stand upright even if they stand in place, they know to follow the direction of the flag, and they remember that when they hear the bugle sound, no matter where they are, they must immediately go to the school grounds.

When they put on their armor, took up their weapons, and came together under banners, they looked like an army.

But they are not, they are still just a bunch of farmers.

There is no blood on their bodies, no killing intent in their eyes, and their eyes are full of fear. They join the army just to have a good meal.

Chen Wang's eyes wandered to the left and right. Those veterans were all soldiers who had seen blood and fought in battle. They were full of blood, and there was murderous intent in their eyes.

It is precisely because they have fought too many battles and are old that they have become extremely slick.

Can those generals in Liaodong fight?

Of course they can fight.

In the 14th year of Chongzhen, on July 26, Hong Chengchou swore an oath in Ningyuan and led eight generals and 13 soldiers to the expedition.

On July 28, Hong Chengchou led his army to Rufeng Mountain in the south of Jinzhou City, and met the Qing army on Rufeng Mountain.

The two armies lined up and started a fierce battle on Rufeng Mountain. The Qing army ended in a disastrous defeat. The Qing army failed in the first battle and was almost defeated.

Before the Eight Banners of the Qing Army entered the customs, there were forty Jiala Ezhens, and more than ten people were killed in the Battle of Songjin.

During the Jisi Incident at the end of the second year of Chongzhen, the Guan Ning Army and various King Qin armies fought fiercely with the Hou Jin Army under the city, and successfully repelled them.

If you really can't fight, how can you achieve such a record?
They receive the most pay, wear the best armor, and carry the best weapons.

But whoever can sincerely cooperate, the Hou Jin may be wiped out as soon as it shows up.

It's a pity that those generals in Liaodong fought too many battles and took care of their wings.

Fast as the wind, slow as the forest, aggressive like fire, immovable like a mountain.

When retreating, it is as fast as the wind, it turns around and surrounds it as Xu Rulin, looting money and aggression is like fire, and the friendly army is in trouble like a mountain.

There were many opportunities, but they were let go of these opportunities.

Until the end, Hou Jin, the wolf, had evolved into a real tiger, and it was too late.

The same is true for these Datong soldiers. When fighting against the wind, they all scramble to be the first.

Generals have no determination to die, and soldiers have no intention of fighting to the death.

Although Cao Wenzhao dared to fight and was determined to die, he couldn't escape the limitations of this era. During the war, he mainly relied on elite servants to fight. With the intention of fighting to the death.

Chen Wang withdrew his gaze. These recruits were like a blank sheet of paper on which he could write. They hadn't acquired the ugly habits of most Ming armies in this era.

And these old soldiers are already hard-won, but now it is impossible to kick them out of the team, they can only temporarily separate, reduce their influence as much as possible, and then see if they can be reformed.

Chen Wang didn't say anything to inspire people, but chose to get straight to the point.

"The battle is imminent, and most of the rogues have already swarmed towards Binzhou."

No one made a sound on the school grounds. During the seven days of training, the military stick taught these recruits what it means to be quiet.

Although he didn't make any sound, Chen Wang stood on the low platform and could clearly see the changes in their faces.

Fear quickly spread among the crowd like a plague. Not only the queue of recruits, but also many veterans showed signs of fear.

There are tens of thousands of rogues crossing the border in the direction of Pingliang. At the beginning of the Xi'an city, the rogues joined forces for [-] miles. As night fell, the mountains and plains were full of lights, how can one not be alarmed.

"You have been divided into teams before, and now each team nominates three captain candidates on its own."

"The captain and deputy of your team will be selected by me from these three captain candidates."

After Chen Wang's words fell, all the recruits on the school field looked confused, they were very puzzled by Chen Wang's order.

On the school field, a group of recruits stood looking at each other in dismay. They were all long-term farmers, and they had always been used to being arranged by others.

They thought that after a while, Chen Wang would send the captain down to take charge of them.

They thought about a lot of things, and they also thought that maybe those who performed well among them would be promoted, but none of them thought that Chen Wang would let them choose their own captains and officers.

Tang Shiping's expression changed slightly, he turned his head to look at Chen Wang who was not far in front of him, and then glanced at Chen Gong standing beside him and the two Hu family brothers standing beside him.

He noticed that the expressions of Chen Gong and the Hu family brothers had not changed, and he must have known it in advance.

Tang Shiping's eyes moved slightly, and he held back what he wanted to say.

"I have three military tents on my left hand. After you enter the military tents one by one, say the names of the three people, and someone in the military tent will help to record them."

"All elections are carried out in secret. Only the recorder and you know who you have elected, and no one else knows."

Chen Wang took a step forward and said in a deep voice.

"But you must be clear that the person you choose will become your captain in the future, and he will lead you to the battlefield."

"The sword has no eyes, and the battlefield is ruthless. If you want to survive the battlefield, choose the person you think is the most reliable."

Chen Wang looked around at the group of recruits on the school field, and continued to speak.

"Everyone is not allowed to have any verbal communication. Anyone who violates the order will be tied with thirty military whips."

"From now on, everyone will follow the general banner of this bureau and enter the military account to register in turn. Those who are waiting for the account will keep a distance of five steps from the military account."

Chen Wang's order was issued, and Chen Gong, Hu Zhili, and Hu Zhiyi each led their own soldiers, walked down with banners, and walked towards the military tent with the recruits from the third bureau. Bai Zong.
