Anti Qing

Chapter 102 Refugees
Wu Zhaosheng stood in the camp, directing the affairs of the camp.

For some reason, Niu Quan, Yin of Xiangyang Prefecture, suddenly brought a group of civil servants to Xinchengwan, where the former battalion was stationed, to reward the army today.

It was the first time that Qianying came to Xiangyang, and this was the first time someone brought supplies to reward the army. Naturally, there was no reason to refuse, after all, Xiangyang government office, now and Qianying belonged to Emperor Dashun Yongchang.

But Wu Zhaosheng also knew that this Niu Quan would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, he and Niu Quan stood together, and most of the words they said were greetings.

After a while, a soldier of the standard battalion came out of the tent of the Chinese army, came to Wu Zhaosheng's side, and whispered something to him.

Hearing Li Zijing's order, Wu Zhaosheng's heart turned quickly, and then he turned his head and winked, indicating that he understood.

He stepped forward and said to Niu Quan with a smile as if nothing happened.

"My front battalion has just arrived in Xiangyang, and there are many affairs, especially military affairs, which cannot be separated from the general's approval, so I really have no time to come."

"How about this, if Niufu Yin has anything to do, just tell me."

"I, General You Guoyi of the former battalion, can still make decisions about some things. There is no need to tell the generals to do everything in person."

Niu Quan was taken aback for a moment, and then showed his face.

"What General Wu said is true, then I'll say it straight."

"This time to reward the army, this official is from the Le clan in Daicheng."

Niu Quan followed Wu Zhaosheng and paced around the camp.

At this time, all the supplies from the Xiangyang Government Office had been sent to the battalion, and under the command of the officers, the soldiers of the former battalion temporarily put aside their drills and sentry duties to divide up the supplies.

This batch of supplies sent by Xiangyang Mansion included wine and meat. After the expansion of the former battalion, they were all old soldiers who had been withdrawn from Shanhaiguan or Tongguan.

These people fled all the way, precarious. It has been a long time since they settled down, drinking and eating meat.

For a while, the camp was full of noise, as if a grand banquet had been held.

Since the camp itself was located in the heavily fortified city of Xiangyang, even half of the guards were removed this time.

Looking at the changes in the front camp these days, Niu Quan was secretly surprised.

When the former battalion arrived in Xiangyang, the Xiangyang government gave no money, no food, or even a little supplies, but it developed to this point in such a short period of time.

Within a month, the site of the former camp had doubled in size in Xinchengwan.

Stables, granaries, armories and other places are all well-equipped, and there are soldiers on duty patrolling day and night everywhere, and the security is heavily guarded, as if it is a sub-city in Xiangyang City.

But from Niu Quan's point of view, Li Zijing was clearly worried about Xiangyang's city defense, that's why he set up so many patrols and sentries in the front camp.

The guard posts in the front battalion can be said to be one post at three steps and one post at five steps. It is still unknown whether there are secret posts.

Even if he rewarded the army today and Li Zijing removed half of the guard posts, in Niu Quan's view, such defenses were still much stricter than Liu Tichun's camp in the south of the city.

Who is this against?
On the road, Niu Quan continued.

"General Wu doesn't know. Ever since your former battalion seized the branch of Le's Tongrentang, the shops in the whole city have been in panic."

"During this time, the gate of my government office has almost been kicked down!"

As Niu Quan spoke, helplessness appeared on his face.

"General Wu should also think about it for our government office. Your field battalion is responsible for going out to fight fortified positions, while our government office is in charge of local security."

"After all, it is the seat of Xiangyang Prefecture. People are crying outside all day. After all, this is not a solution, and it doesn't look good if you take it out. It will have more impact on my prestige in Dashun."

Wu Zhaosheng laughed loudly, and turned to look at Niu Quan.

"Niufu Yin originally served as a lobbyist for Le Shi, Niu Fuyin, in all fairness, did my former camp do too much for Le Shi?"

"My general ordered that the main thing is to give priority to courtesy first and then soldiers. It is polite to take people to the main shop to ask for medicine. What about Coke's?"

"Not to mention asking prices all over the sky, but what's more, I want to send a letter to Beijing Feige, and ask him what the Le family thinks."

"Beijing is now the territory of the Qing Dynasty. Is this to ask for the price, or is it to inform the news?"

Wu Zhaosheng stopped and sneered.

"The wind is jittery?"

"I think they have ghosts in their hearts!"

"Niufu Yin, we still have military affairs in our army, so I won't accompany you any more!"

"If you have something to say, please ask General Zhi again!"

"Farewell—!"

After Wu Zhaosheng finished speaking, he didn't give Niu Quan any more face, he walked up to the soldiers, drank with them in big bowls, and ate meat with big mouthfuls.

Niu Quan was stunned on the spot, but he really didn't expect it.

As the saying goes, stretch out your hand and don't hit a smiling face, but now that the reward army is doing it, Li Zijing is so shameless.

Even Wu Zhaosheng, the third-in-command of the former battalion, had an arrogant attitude without even seeing him.

But Le's gave too much, the money was taken away, but the face was lost, how to make things right?
Li Zijing sat on the table, looking at the wide-edged goose-wing saber in his hand, a little lost in thought.

Although the Standard Battalion has just been established, its treatment is the best in the whole army, even higher than that of the Jingqi Battalion.

These soldiers promoted from the Jingqi Battalion were still wearing cotton armor, but what was hung on their waists was a weapon that was extremely rare in the front battalion and even in the entire Dashun Army-the broad-edged goose-wing knife.

This Manchurian sword was seized in the Tongguan battlefield, and it is now the standard equipment of the Manchurian Eight Banners cavalry.

As the name suggests, this knife has a broad blade and thick back, powerful and heavy.

Its blade is made of fine iron, and the handle is printed with a tiger head. It is also called a tiger knife. It is produced in the Manchurian Equipment Military Workshop in Hetuala City.

But it is said that it is the Manchurian Equipment Military Artisan Workshop, and the people who made these swords are also old craftsmen in Liaodong.

The land in the far north of Liaodong has been captured by captives for nearly 44 years since Nurhachi proclaimed Khan in the 30th year of Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty.

These Liaodong craftsmen were skilled in their crafts, but they could not see the hope of the Ming army's recovery. In order to survive, they had to make equipment and armor for the Qing army.

Hetuala, also known as the old village in Jianlu dialect, has the khan court built by Nurhaci when he was called khan.

Before entering the customs, all the centers of the Eight Banners of Manchuria revolved around this place.

This kind of wide-edged goose-wing saber, with the help of the horse's momentum, is much more powerful than the general Central Plains saber.

For the Manchurian soldiers who are generally physically stronger than the Han people, the broad-bladed goose-wing knife is the most suitable to be brought on the battlefield.

Li Zijing had experienced the power of this kind of knife on the battlefield.

At that time, Li Zijing saw a Manchurian cavalry dismounted, slashing with the saber in both hands, he was caught off guard and took the saber forcefully.

The feeling of that knife is still fresh in Li Zijing's memory. At that time, he only felt that his whole arm was numb from the shock.

Fortunately, although the original body hadn't fought much, he was an honest farmer in the first half of his life, working as a tenant farmer for the landlord all day long, working hard, and his physical strength was not bad.

But if four or five knives were hacked like this in a row, Li Zijing was not sure how many knives he would be able to withstand.

Although the Ming Dynasty general's saber Yanling Dao in his hand was sharp and strong, it was mainly dexterous and beautiful, and it was not enough to face head-to-head with this kind of wide-edged Yanwing Dao.

If some are weak, they will be cut to the ground almost two or three times, and the whole person's heart will be beaten.

Even if you don't lose your combat effectiveness, you will be terrified by these Manchurian soldiers holding broad-bladed goose-wing knives, and the next step is the lamb to be slaughtered.

The power of the wide-edged goose-wing knife is very powerful, and because of this, it has extremely strict requirements on the strength of the user.

Most people struggle to even pick it up, let alone wielding a broadsword for more than ten miles.

Although the soldiers of the Standard Battalion were not as hulking as the Manchurian cavalry, they were all strong and strong men.

Many people don't look strong, but they have plenty of inner muscles, and their strength is not comparable to that of ordinary veterans.

They continued to use the Yanling Sword or the Central Plains Saber, which meant that a good horse did not deserve a good saddle.

Li Zijing also thought at the beginning, let the soldiers of the standard battalion try it for a while. After all, this kind of sword is commonly used by the Manchurian cavalry, and it may not be suitable for his own army.

If you don't take advantage of it, it's not too late to change it.

Unexpectedly, once the one hundred broad-edged goose-wing knives were issued, they were immediately loved by the soldiers of the standard battalion.

It was the first time for many soldiers to see such a bluffing sword, and they couldn't put it down for a while, and they had to hang it on their waists all day long.

The soldier seemed a little respectful, bowed his eyes and spoke softly.

"General Chi, there is a boat arriving at Xinchengwan from the Hanshui River, and it is coming from the direction of Dengzhou, under the banner of Captain Zhang Xian."

"There are three thousand people on board, and General Hao has brought people to meet them!"
