A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 213 Be sure to save your life and come back
Long Er and the others brought the detected information, as well as the relevant horses and luggage seized last night, and ran along the side of the mountain.

They galloped wildly, changing horses from time to time along the way, and arrived at Liujing Village in Yizhou in the afternoon of the same day.

Liujingzhai was originally a small village, surrounded by hundreds of horse bandits, and located on a sunny slope. Because there was a secret road from Zhaogezhuang to Yizhou next to the village, the Shunxiang army wiped out the inner After the horse thief in the middle of the war, the village was operated as a key point of passage from Baoanzhou to the North China Great Plains.

Today, the houses around Liujing Village are densely packed, surrounded by thick walls and tall watchtowers.Inside the village, there are many warehouses and storage houses.

The general staying in the village is Shen Shiqi, an officer of Division A and Division A of Division B. He originally competed with Wu Zhengchun for a woman. As the commander-in-chief of Department A, that is, General C of the Central Military Department, he is just a team officer.Although Shen Shiqi was quite dissatisfied with the change in the status of the two, he had to admit that Wu Zhengchun had worked hard to get everything before him.

In addition, in Liujing Village, there is Wen Daxing, the chief officer of the Ye Bu Shou Bai of the Baoan Prefecture, who personally sits in command of the Ye Bu Shou's outpost to spy on the team.

When Long Er and the others ran all the way up to Liujing Village, they saw households dragging their families towards the direction of the village from time to time.

Liujingzhai hero's reputation of benevolence is already quite loud in Yizhou and Laishui area. He doesn't kill or plunder, and he also helps refugees and protects the people.

It is said that when you arrive at Liujing Village, you can live a stable and prosperous life.This rumor was widely spread, and there was an endless stream of people fleeing to Liujing village every day. Liujing village would not refuse these refugees and refugees, and after taking them in, they were all sent to Zhaogezhuang.There, after careful screening of hidden spies, they were sent to Baoan Prefecture along the Mashuikou pass road.

There are constant whistles along the way, and there are more densely packed victims of disasters along the way.Right now, the news that the Tartar soldiers will move southward is spreading. Every day, hundreds of people leave their homes and come to the village full of hope, hoping to be sheltered by the camp.

The prestige of Liujing village even attracted the attention of Yizhou soldiers and Laishui garrison. Although it was strange how Liujing village would survive if they didn't go out to plunder, they both already wanted to recruit these green forest heroes.

Along the way, they saw Long Er and five people with dozens of horses. The victims showed envy and fear, pointing to Long Er and the others: "Look, those people are the heroes of Liujing Village."

"Those horses must have been snatched from the Tartars."

"These heroes are more powerful than the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty."

"With these good men stationed there, the Tazi soldiers will definitely not be able to attack the stronghold."

"We are safe in the village."

When they entered the camp, seeing what Long Er and the others had harvested, the whole camp was in a commotion. Shen Shiqi, the left-behind officer of the camp, and Wen Daxing, the chief executive of Yebububai, came out to welcome them in person.Although the two are not similar in appearance, they both have a common feature, that is, big arms, round waists, and fleshy faces.

Seeing the fifteen heads of the Qing soldiers immediately hanging by Long Er and five people, as well as dozens of captured war horses, and a lot of armor and weapons, Wen Daxing took a deep breath because of their knowledge and experience. He valued Long Er very much, seeing what he had gained at this time, he took his hand affectionately and said: "Brother Long, you have worked hard, come into the hall to talk, and tell me in detail what you have seen and heard during this trip. "

Long Er got the important information, and beheaded another [-] people, but the capture was useless.As the directly subordinate Yebushou Shangguan, most of these military achievements were attributed to him.No wonder Wen Daxing was so affectionate towards Long Er.There is also a town governor in the Ye Bu Shou army, who is in charge of all matters of military discipline and merit, and Long Er is not worried that the credit will be swallowed up by others.

Wen Daxing was so affectionate, but Long Er didn't dare to neglect him, he saluted him respectfully, and said: "This time when we sent out the sentry, the sergeants Xiao Bin and Jie Yifeng in the army were injured, and Xiao Bin's right arm was injured. If it is damaged, I'm afraid I won't be able to send out the sentry in the future."

Xiao Bin is Da Ya, and Jie Yifeng is a bench. When meeting Shangguan, naturally he cannot be called by his nickname in the army.

Wen Daxing sighed: "The injured brother, I will report it. The general is kind, and will definitely provide compensation and resettlement for Brother Xiao. I intend to keep him in the team as a training instructor for the sergeants who are not accepted at night."

They were talking here, and then entered the meeting hall in the village, where some simple tables and chairs were set up.The doors and windows of this hall were originally worn out. After Shen Shiqi stayed behind, he slightly repaired the hall. At least now there will be no air leakage everywhere.

Hearing Long Er's report on this outpost, Wen Daxing was also amazed by his knowledge and experience. He carefully looked at the intelligence document and said, "You have made great contributions. I will send the information to Zhoucheng today. Rest in the stronghold, recharge your batteries, the general will soon lead the army into the guard, and I fear that he will have to send out more frequently in the future."

……

Long Er's information was sent to the city, and the military exploits of the five of them caused a sensation in the whole army. Wang Dou, a guerrilla general in Baoan Prefecture, was very impressed and summoned Long Er and others in person.Although he was in the city of Baoanzhou, Yeburei, who was on the lookout everywhere, sent him packets of information, allowing him to keep abreast of the movements of the invaders and Qing soldiers.

On the fifth day of October in the 11th year of Chongzhen, on the day Wang Dou met Long Er and others, he also received an urgent official document from the Ministry of War to Xuanfu Town. .The official seal informs the body and other things, and arrives with him.It wasn't until this time that Wang Dou truly became a guerrilla general of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, the official document is very urgent: "The Minister of the Ministry of War advises the governor of Xuanzhen, the slaves from the east invaded the bandits, and the momentum is increasing. The security guard guerrilla Wang Douxing rushes in to help. The official is only allowed to arrive in Beijing for ten days. Come on, Fuzhen should ask for punishment!"

Along with the official document of the Ministry of War, and the title of Ji Shiwei, the governor of Xuanfu Town, let Wang Dou Xingye enter the town to receive his dispatch letter.

On the same day, Wang Dou led Xie Yike and others, and flew to Xuanfu town again.

In the lobby of the governor's yamen, Wang Dou saw the governor of Xuanfu Town Ji Shiwei again, his face was ugly, which can be described as iron blue.Staring at Wang Dou for a long time, Governor Ji scolded: "Wang Dou, you are such a reckless man. The soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and others are afraid to avoid them, but you volunteered to lead the army to help?"

Governor Ji's tone was stern, but Wang Dou heard a hint of worry from it. Maybe his daughter became his de facto wife. He had no choice but to worry that he would lead the army to fight. If something happened, he might make his daughter a widow. .

Wang Dou's heart warmed up slightly. Governor Ji is a hard-spoken and soft-hearted person. He said: "Master Governor, the slaves invaded the bandits, and the lives are ruined. As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, how can I sit back and watch the enemy plunder? Even if I die in battle, I will only be a corpse wrapped in horse leather That's all!"

Governor Ji stared and said: "To put it lightly... it's just a shroud in horse leather!"

He hated iron but steel: "Although you are brave, in the past when you fought, you always defended the city. This wilderness battle is no small matter. There are hundreds of thousands of slaves. You think you are talking about it casually."

He stared at Wang Dou for a long time, seeing that his expression did not change, he frowned, and said: "You acted as a guerrilla general and led the army into the reinforcements. I reported you three thousand soldiers, half of which were infantry and half of them. The doctor said, let him pay you four months' salary first."

Na Feng Shilei was originally the general judge of grain management in Huailong Road of Xuanfu Town, responsible for the grain and salary matters of the generals of the castles on the East Road. Responsible for the food supply of a town.

It turned out that the supply of food, wages and equipment in Xuanfu Town was in charge of the local guarding eunuchs. However, in the seventh year of Chongzhen, due to the invasion of the Qing army, the guarding eunuchs of Xuanfu Town at that time had been dismissed and punished. Since [-], Xuanfu Town has not set up guarding and monitoring eunuchs.

Hearing what Ji Shiwei said, Wang Dou was overjoyed. The ratio of infantry and cavalry was 600 to [-] percent, with a lot of food and pay, and all the cavalry had armor. Now he only had more than [-] pairs of iron armor and cotton armor. If there were another [-] Starting with a hundred pairs of armor, I can basically wear one armor for each sergeant, and my life is safe, with greater protection.

Wang Dou sincerely thanked Governor Ji, Ji Shiwei issued a dispatch letter to Wang Dou with a dark face, turned his back and said, "Wang Dou, you lead the troops into the aid, and when you arrive in Gyeonggi, don't be too desperate when you encounter slave soldiers. Be sure to save your life and come back."

Wang Dou couldn't see Ji Shiwei's expression, but he could still hear the concern in his tone, and he sighed slightly in his heart: "Don't you work hard?"

On the same day, Wang Dou's inscription was also sent to the Ministry of War: "I received the Fuchen Shiwei and transferred my ministers to help me, and then Xingchi went to Zhencheng to receive the Fuchen's letter, and I will fly to help immediately, and I will arrive soon."

……

When Wang Dou returned to Baoan Prefecture, he immediately acted vigorously, mobilized the entire prefecture, and summoned all military officers to discuss urgent matters.

The current security mansion in Baoan Prefecture is called the Guerrilla General’s Mansion. In the lobby, looking at the brothers all over the hall, Wang Dou said in a deep voice, “Yesterday, I went to the town to receive the Fuchen’s letter and lead the army into the guard. You must go to Beijing, and now I order."

The armor leaves in the hall were clanging, everyone stood up straight, fighting for many days, the guerrilla general who will lead the battle will soon be revealed, everyone is looking forward to it, and nervous at the same time.

Wang Doudao: "The important city of the state, I decided that President Han Chaoqian would bring Huang Yujin, Gao Shiyin, and Wu Zhengchun three generals to stay behind. The rest of the generals will go out with me."

Everyone clasped their fists and said loudly: "I respect the order of the guerrilla general."

Wang Dou slowly looked around at everyone in the hall. Lin Daofu, Han Chao, Han Zhong, Zhong Tiaoyang, Wen Fangliang, Sun Sanjie, Gao Shiyin, Yang Tong, Zhao Xuan, Li Guangheng and others stood straight on both sides of the lower head. It was his brothers, and some of them were old brothers from Huoludun back then. It is unknown how many of them will come back alive this time.

Yang Tong also stood upright among the crowd. He was wearing an iron armor and was quite imposing.Back then he gave Wang Dou the impression of nodding and bowing, servile and servile. Perhaps it was because of his promotion to the chief officer, he lived in Qi, raised his body, and his status was high, and this aura was cultivated unconsciously.

Seeing Wang Dou swept over him, he stood up straighter.

Wang Dou looked at Han Chao: "Brother Han, I will leave the border of Baoan Prefecture to you."

Han Chao clasped his fists and saluted, and said calmly: "Don't worry, general, the city is alive and the people are alive, and the city is dead and the people are dead."

Wang Dou nodded, and said to Lin Daofu: "Master Lin, I will leave it to you for the drill of the Shunbao New Army."

Lin Daofu also cupped his hands calmly, and said: "General, just rest assured, the next official will do everything properly."

Wang Dou said in a deep voice: "Everyone going to battle, go back to the battalion to prepare, say goodbye to your family, and set off for the military parade in the morning of the next day!"
