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

Chapter 253
When Wang Dou called Gao Xun to speak, Gao Xun's face was full of excitement. He strode forward, pushed the golden mountain, inverted the jade pillar, and bowed to Wang Dou in a loud voice: "The last general, Gao Xun, the officer of the B and C teams of the first division of Baoan Prefecture, Look, see the general."

All the strong soldiers behind him bowed down.Except for the veterans from Baoan Prefecture, all of these soldiers have heard a lot of praise from the veterans for the guerrilla general Wang Dou of Baoan Prefecture in Liangzhai, Xingtang County, and they also know that their wives and children were sent to him Under the rule of the general, everyone was excited to see him at this time.

Among the small army, Yang Shiqi, the man surnamed Yang, also bowed down along with him. In the past few months, he had already respected Gao Xun as a god and sincerely worshiped him.At this time, seeing that this person who called the wind and rain in Xingtang territory was respectful and respectful in front of the general, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

He secretly looked at Wang Dou. This well-known big man was very young, not yet thirty, and his tall body was covered with a pair of incomparably fine armor. First.He was wearing a cloak and a large cloak, and a black-gold sword on his waist. Although he had a kind smile on his face, he had a majestic demeanor in his gestures, which made people feel admiration.

The armored generals who accompanied him behind him were also mighty, with their bodies covered in fine iron armor and red cloaks, their expressions majestic and majestic.These people surrounded Wang Dou, more like stars holding the moon.

At this time, Yang Shiqi had already heard that the guerrilla general received a commendation from the emperor for passing on the three armies after a series of victories. The armor and sword on his body were bestowed by the emperor.Thinking of this, Yang Shiqi took a hard look at Wang Dou's armor, and swallowed involuntarily.At the same time, he was excited, following such a general, making contributions in the future is just a matter of time.

Wang Dou helped Gao Xun up with a smile: "The executive team has worked hard, get up."

A warm current surged in Gao Xun's heart, and he said loudly: "The last general is not hard, the last general thank you general."

He stood up and stood up straight again.

Armor leaves clang and clang, and all the soldiers behind him said in unison, "Thank you, General."

They all stood up, still standing neatly.

Lu Xiangsheng's eyes lit up, these hundreds of soldiers are all heroes, and they are so strict in management, and there is also that handsome general, who is tall and tall, can be called an outstanding talent.

He asked Wang Dou, "General Wang, who are these soldiers?"

Wang Dou smiled and said: "Returning to the governor, after the final general stored grain in Zhending Mansion, he stayed with a team of soldiers to garrison, and selected hundreds of refugees to practice... This is the team officer who stayed behind, Gao Xun."

"Gao Xun, quickly meet Duchen Lu and Yang Junmen."

Gao Xun was overjoyed, the guerrilla general showed so much love that he actually introduced Duchen Lu and Zongbing Yang to himself, he strode forward and greeted them calmly.

Lu Xiangsheng was very happy, after getting Gao Xun up, he looked him up and down, and sighed: "What a hero."

He looked at the four hundred soldiers standing tall and praised, "They are all good soldiers."

Although I don't know what their combat skills are, just based on their military appearance, after a few bloody battles, many qualified and sturdy soldiers will surely be born.

Then he looked at Wang Dou suspiciously: "This strong man is only in charge of the team?"

Wang Dou smiled and said: "After the senior team has made military achievements, the last general will mention it to him."

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head speechlessly, Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei and the others all had reckless expressions in their eyes.Talents like Gao Xun are placed in each army, at least they have military positions such as general manager and general manager Qian. In Wang Dou's army, they are just a small management team.

Similarly, everyone felt that Wang Dou had such a deep plan, not only stored food everywhere like a prophet, but also made up for the shortage of food and grass in the army in time.There are still so many talents under his command, and a mere management team can train such a rigorous sergeant. A glimpse of the whole leopard can be seen. This Wang Dou's power is deeply hidden...

……

The people entered the camp happily. With food and grass, the soldiers did not have to worry, so they could kill the enemy with peace of mind.The grain and grass were stored and transported by Wang Dou, the guerrilla general of Xuanfu Town. Apart from feeling grateful, the soldiers of each battalion also had a lot of discussions about Wang Dou's various incredible things.

The distribution of grain and grass was presided over by Lu Xiangsheng, and Wang Dou had no objection.It was noon after the distribution of food and grass, and the hungry generals had their meals in Lu Xiangsheng's big tent of the Chinese army. There was enough food and grass, and the battle situation was ideal, and everyone was very happy.

After lunch, Wang Dou returned to his camp. Gao Xun and other [-] new sergeants had been arranged by Zhong Tiaoyang, the supply officer of the battalion, and a new armored tent was allocated for them.After the great victory in Lien Chan, Wang Dou seized [-] pairs of various armors from the Qing soldiers, as well as various tents and luggage.

Therefore, in these new teams, each armor was assigned at least one tent, and each person had either iron armor or cotton armor inlaid with iron leaves, and each had his own armor.The new soldiers were all overjoyed when they were given the tent and armor, and they couldn't put it down.Of course, since there were already hundreds of people in Wang Dou's army wearing captured enemy armor, outsiders might mistake them for Tazi soldiers if they didn't look at their banners.With the enemy at hand, Wang Dou couldn't take care of so much, it's better to have armor than no armor.

After the new army arrives, they will face cruel battles. Although these new troops in Xingtang territory have been trained and led by Gao Xun to participate in several battles against bandits, they will face fierce battles like wolves and tigers next. Many people still can't help feeling anxious.However, there are so many veteran brothers in the army who have been victorious in all battles, seeing how they all look down on the Tartars, everyone's heart is finally at ease.

Wang Dou asked Gao Xun to be directly in charge of his central army for the time being, and after setting up his camp, he recruited Gao Xun to speak in his central army tent.

"When General Han Qian stayed behind, he left and seized hundreds of knives and guns, a hundred firecrackers, and several medicines. He also said that at the end of the day he would be able to use five hundred stones of grain and rice in the warehouse. So I practiced the three hundred young men who stayed behind in Xingtang village, fortunately I didn't disgrace my life, and I managed them in a certain way."

Gao Xun continued to respectfully say: "After several months of practice, the last general led the new army to wipe out the bandits in Xingtang, Lingshou, Xinle, Quyang and other places, broke down several villages, and made up for the food. It will miss the important matter of the general."

Wang Dou couldn't help but nod his head. It can be seen that Gao Xun is a man of talent, and he has hundreds of soldiers under his command, who are organized by him in an orderly manner.After these well-trained new troops fought a few battles with the Qing soldiers, many of his subordinates could become qualified sergeants.

During this battle, my subordinates suffered a lot of losses, with a total of more than 200 casualties. Fortunately, with the continuous supply of troops, my subordinates were able to maintain the integrity of the establishment before the dispatch.Now with the addition of Gao Xun, the soldiers under his command have not decreased but increased.

He pondered for a while, then said: "Among the sergeants under your command, take out a team and add them to each unit, and the rest will be counted as a general."

He looked at Gao Xun and said, "Your general's governor and comfort officer will be appointed one after another. Gao Xun, you are temporarily serving as the general's chief, and you are still under Han Chaoqian's command. All the team officers under the general are also For the sake of a job test, I will transfer you from deputy to full-time officer after you have made military achievements."

There are four generals in the Baoan Prefecture Army, and the three generals are one. After Gao Xunxin was established, there were four generals under Han Chao's command.Now there are a lot of new troops trained in Baoan Prefecture. Maybe when they go back after the war, many of Qianzong's subordinates will have to add new generals.

Hearing Wang Dou's words, Gao Xun couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart, he said loudly: "The general thanked the general for his kindness, and the general will definitely do his best to repay the general for his great kindness."

Having said that, he kowtowed again, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

Everyone in the tent has different expressions, and many people are feeling sorry for Gao Xun's official luck.

After Wang Dou helped Gao Xun up, Gao Xun stepped back respectfully and stood at the bottom of the right side of the big tent.He knew that the competition in the Shun Township Army was fierce and promotion was difficult, so he was able to be promoted to the general position not long after he came to the Shun Township Army, and many people must be jealous.Unlike Li Guangheng of the Central Military Department, his son-in-law is Qianzong Han Zhong, and he is a hereditary hundred household in Baoan Prefecture, plus he is able to train cavalry well, no one will say anything about him, but he...

Gao Xun secretly swears that he will fight hard, make more military exploits, and stop everyone's mouths.He will let everyone know that his responsibility is always well deserved.He was calm on the surface, but his heart was bursting with excitement, and his hands were tightly clenched into fists.

……

A large amount of food and grass was transported from the Xuanda Camp, people called Ma Ni, but they couldn't hide it from the Guanning Camp not far away, let alone Gao Qiqian and others in Zhending City.

"What, Lu Xiangsheng brought a large amount of food and grass from the camp?"

Gao Qiqian stood up abruptly, staring straight at the person reporting in front of him.

The man said: "Return to the director, the slave's news is absolutely true. There are many vehicles and horses for them to carry the grain and grass. The slave and others roughly estimated that the grain and grass they brought in was as high as several thousand shi. It is estimated that even Lu Xiangsheng has what is left in the camp. The grain and grass are enough. Feed them for over a month."

Gao Qiqian couldn't believe it: "Where did they buy the food?"

He knew very well that the officials of Baoding Mansion and Zhending Mansion figured out what Yang Gelao and himself meant, and they all refused to provide food to Lu Xiangsheng's troops.All the food stores in the prefectures and roads were requisitioned and distributed by Gao Qiqian in a unified way, even the rice shops of the commercial houses in the cities were the same.This is the case in the big city, and the towns and forts outside the city, needless to say, this deserted and desolate place, the high and latent material is sure that even if Lu Xiangsheng has money, he can't buy food and grass. Unexpectedly...

The man said: "Return to Director, Lu Xiangsheng and the others didn't buy their food, but brought it from the Xingtang direction. The servant waited for the information, it seems that Wang Dou, the guerrilla general in Xuanfu Town, stored a batch of food there a long time ago. .”

Gao Qiqian's face was uncertain: "Wang Dou..."

……

On the fourth day of December in the 11th year of Chongzhen, under the farewell of the people of Zhending Mansion, Lu Xiangsheng led Xuan Da's generals to swear to the south. More than [-] soldiers passed through Luancheng, Zhaozhou, Ningjin, and Longping.The Qing soldiers they encountered all avoided their edge, and there were Qing people who attacked and plundered cities along the way, and they also took the initiative to retreat and dodge a few days before they got the military information.Lu Xiangsheng, Wang Dou and other troops traveled south all the way, but there was not a single battle along the way. Those Qing troops seemed to be invincible.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, Gao Qiqian also led the army southward, but they traveled southward from the southwest to Zanhuang, Gaoyi, Lincheng and other places, and they did not encounter any resistance.All the cities occupied by Qing soldiers were abandoned.Guan Ning's army successfully recaptured many cities, proud of themselves, and reported their victories to the capital again and again.

However, Wang Dou felt uneasy, those Qing soldiers would not be so timid and unbearable to fight.

On the eighth day of the lunar new year, Xuanda's army entered Julu, and Wang Dou's heart welled up with infinite emotion, Julu...

At noon that day, [-] troops passed by Julu County. The county town had been burnt to the ground by the Qing soldiers. It was empty and extremely dilapidated.All the wells in the city were also blocked, making it impossible to rest and camp.The army went further south for a few miles, and when they had to stop in the wilderness to make a fire and cook food, Wang Dou received several batches of intelligence from sentries who would not receive them at night.

After reading the information in his hands, Wang Dou looked solemn, and hurried to Lu Xiangsheng's side: "Minister, do you feel that there are more and more slaves spying around my army recently? We can no longer go south. "
