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

Chapter 730 Cleaning
Zanhuang is high in the west and low in the east, with continuous mountains and huge ravines. It is known as seven mountains, one beach and two fields.Also because there are many mountains and little land, and the soil is poor, it is difficult for the people to survive, which makes this place a safe haven for bandits, big and small.

Many bandits, big and small, took over the mountain and became kings, kidnapping and extorting money, and the good people suffered terribly.

This situation lasted until the 11th year of Chongzhen. The female horse thief Xu Yuee stood out. She led the heroes of Huweizhai to wipe out countless local bandits, large and small, and unified the local rivers and lakes. It was much better, and some gentry even began to praise Xu Yue'e.

After that, Xu Yue'e extended her tentacles to neighboring counties, and successively fought with the horse bandits of Lincheng County, Yang's bandits, Yuan's Zhao bandits, and Gaoyi's Sun horse bandits. In March of the 11th year of Chongzhen, Xu Yue'e established a military law and stopped looting the people in Zhending Mansion.

Under Xu Yue'e's control, the local people's livelihood was stable, and the gentry and common people praised her. Xu Yue'e's reputation overwhelmed the local government, and everyone began to call him a hero.

In the 11th year, when the slaves from the East entered the bandits, Xu Yue'e changed her army into a slave-killing army, beheaded more than [-] Qing soldiers, and participated in the Battle of Julu. From a gangster to a man in the government, he became a legend for a while.

In the next few years, Xu Yue'e worked hard in Zanhuang, Lincheng, Yuanshi, Gaoyi, etc., apportioning expenses, collecting taxes, and raising thousands of soldiers and horses. In the 14th year of Chongzhen, Xu Yue'e became a guerrilla general. The people only know Mrs. Xu, but not the government.

In April of this year, Uncle Zhongyong Wangdou passed by Zanhuang and Xu Yuee was pregnant. The news spread and the local people were all happy.

In February of the 15th year of Chongzhen, Xu Yue'e gave birth to a son named Wang Yi. The local elders celebrated again, and suddenly several months passed. Raising children, some look like they don't care about foreign affairs.

And on this day, there was a sudden burst of baby laughter from the guerrilla general's mansion in Zanhuang City. This place is adjacent to the west of the city. It was originally a local garrison mansion. There is a tower inside. Hehe Mountain in the northwest.

"Baby, come to mother..."

On an arhat bed covered with brocade mats, a little boy with a thick head and a thick head was walking staggeringly. He was more likely to crawl around on the bed, his eyes were wide open, and his small mouth was only making indistinct muttering sounds.

Looking at his mother beside the bed, he giggled and ran a few staggering steps to his mother's arms.

"my son……"

Xu Yue'e picked up Wang Yi and kissed him hard on the face, which made the baby laugh even more.

Maybe it's because of the birth, Xu Yue'e's face has a maternal radiance, her breasts are fuller and taller, and her heroic spirit is full of charm. With the evil spirit, we can see the kind of bearing that has been in a high position for a long time.

"The young master really looks like a general."

The woman next to her who ran away with her back then and acted as a personal bodyguard praised.

However, the women around him hesitated to speak, and finally one of them couldn't help but said: "Sister Yue'e, do you really want to do this?"

Xu Yuee smiled, but just caressed her son's little face lovingly, and a woman next to her said angrily: "I don't even look at Yu Luan, Jian Jian, Lu Jingxiang and the others for going too far. If you don't kill a group of people, how can you convince them?"

During the period from the 14th year of Chongzhen to the 15th year of Chongzhen, Xu Yuee followed the trend and actually trained some new troops, and even hired some instructors from the Jingbian Army.

After Xu Yuee started her family, although the number of cavalry quickly expanded to [-] cavalry and [-] infantry to [-] infantry, the burden was weak in the future. After a few years, there were only [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, and there was no way to increase it.

Moreover, good and bad are mixed, and many soldiers, especially horse soldiers and bandits, have a hard-to-change habit.

This is not as good as Wang Dou. After surviving the initial period of recuperating energy, there can be tens of thousands, 10,000+ violent soldiers, and they are all elite soldiers from good families. Therefore, after Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei, Cao Bianjiao and others trained the new army, Xu Yuee Also thinking about training the new army.

Just because of pregnancy, confinement, concentrating on raising the son and other miscellaneous things, it is inevitable to relax the management of government affairs. Xu Biao, the governor of Zhenbao Town, took the opportunity to extend his hand to Xu Yue'e.

Although Xu Yue'e tried hard to imitate Wang Dou in training troops, her control over the army could not be compared with Wang Dou's. Not to leave, but Xu Yue'e can't.

Originally dissatisfied with the formation and training of the new army, plus Xu Biao's release of the ruling party, as well as guerrillas, even generals, deputy generals and other generous conditions promised to win over Yu Luan, who was originally Xu Yue'e's confidant, but was only a defense officer. , Jian Jian, Lu Jingxiang and others were moved.

When Xu Yue'e killed Dai Xi and other seven small bosses who refused to accept her control, Yu Luan, Jian Jian and others were promoted from that group, and the people under their command were all first-class soldiers in the third-class military system .

Over the past few years, these people followed Xu Yue'e in the north and south, and even fought in the battle of Julu. The master-slave relationship is not insignificant.

It's just that this is not worth the benefits.

Although these people have to divide the fields and land, they are not resistant to farming. Xu Yuee's training of the new army also made them feel marginalized. In addition to Xu Biao's win over, they all wanted to leave. pull away.

Xu Yue'e looked at it coldly. Although she didn't speak, the outside world was already undercurrents.

Hearing the angry talking of the girls beside her, Xu Yue'e remained silent and only looked at her son lovingly.

After a long time, she said softly: "My son, everything my mother did is for you."

She put down her son slowly, her eyes were full of frost and indifference, she said disdainfully: "They want to go against the sky, but they don't know, I, Xu Yue'e, is the one to make the decision here."

"Are you all ready?" she asked.

A cold look appeared in the eyes of a woman beside her: "It's all arranged."

Xu Yue'e slowly put on her cloak and cloak, wrapped the handkerchief, and put something around her waist. Finally, a cold expression appeared on her face: "Let's go."

All the girls followed her, and when she walked to the door, there were four fat and strong female sumo wrestlers silently following her.

Wang Dou's General's Mansion trained a group of female sumo wrestlers, not only for the entertainment of the family members, but also as guards. Xie Xiuniang's personal maid, Chunchun, was a sumo master, proficient in wrestling and fighting.

At this time, the four women's sumo wrestlers still had fine chain mail under their clothes, but Xie Xiuniang specially transferred them from the mansion for Xu Yue'e after she heard that Xu Yue'e was pregnant.

……

"Haha, drink..."

In the Juyi hall of Huweizhai, a group of thick and strong men were shouting three yo four, pushing cups and cups. Although they were officers and soldiers, they were still dressed in cotton jackets and fur robes, and all of them had unruly and unscrupulous eyes.

The food and drink were served like flowing water, there were fish and meat, very rich, these people even ate their glasses and poured wine, chattering and fighting with each other, making the banquet a mess.

Yu Luan, who behaved rough, looked at Lu Jingxiang thoughtfully, and shouted: "Blind Lu, what are you thinking, you don't like wine and meat, are you thinking about girls?"

There was another wild laugh in the hall, full of rough heroism.

Lu Jingxiang was a little thinner, and in the slave-killing army, he was considered a man of the city, because he always squinted his eyes from time to time, and also had poor eyesight, so he was nicknamed "Blind Lu".

Hearing this, he put down his wine glass, and said: "Tell me, what is Xu Yue'e's plan for inviting us to the lobby? There is no plot, right? Everyone knows about her, this woman is ruthless and murderous."

Yu Luan didn't take it seriously: "What could she have planned? Seeing that the brothers are leaving, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to appease me."

Jian Jian also said: "At present, many people in the old army, whether they are cavalry or infantry, have been attracted by us. If Xu Yue'e doesn't let go of her posture, she will only be left as a bare-handed guerrilla. What use will she be? Have you seen the bloody, limp new army?"

Speaking of this, there was a look of hatred in his eyes, his mother's new army, if you don't get in, there is no way to win them over.

Seeing that Lu Jingxiang was still uneasy, he comforted him and said, "Don't worry, someone has checked inside and outside the hall, there is no one else except the maid and cook, and there will be no ambush. Brothers have also arranged troops under the gate of the village... Xu Yuee entertained us in the lobby of this old village, maybe she just wanted to impress us with her original loyalty?"

Yu Luan said with a lewd smile: "Maybe she will use a beauty trick."

Everyone laughed wildly. To be honest, Xu Yue'e was cold and arrogant, majestic yet full of charm, especially after giving birth to a son, her demeanor did not decrease but increased. That kind of heroic demeanor and feminine charm, even though they were subordinates, They often salivate when they see it, and they are full of interest when talking about it at this time.

Lu Jingxiang laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe, he also felt relieved, and pointed at Yu Luan more pervertedly and said: "Brother Yu still has an idea... But to be honest, women should take care of their children at home, what's the sense of showing their faces? What's more, they are inherently disadvantaged, no, once they get pregnant and give birth, the military power will be unknowingly..."

"The Guerrilla General is here!"

At this moment, a loud shout interrupted everyone's swearing, and Xu Yue'e came in with some guards, especially the four female sumo wrestlers behind her, which put heavy pressure on everyone.

Immediately, there was no sound in the hall, Xu Yue'e had accumulated prestige for a long time, although Yu Luan and others had no taboo in words and deeds before, but when facing Xu Yuee herself, everyone still couldn't help feeling afraid.

Xu Yuee slowly sat down at the main seat, and a female guard beside her poured wine for her, and then she raised the wine glass, Yu Luan, Jian Jian, Lu Jingxiang, and some of their close subordinates couldn't help but raise their glasses. He raised his glass.

Holding the wine glass, Xu Yue'e looked at everyone one by one, with deep pain in her eyes, she said slowly: "Little sister has made it this far, thanks to the brothers, I think we were born and died together, and even fought Tartars together. son……

"Yu Shoubei, you blocked a knife for my little sister. Mr. Jian Qian, you blocked an arrow for my little sister. The same is true for Lu Shoubei. I have repeatedly offered advice and advice. I, Xu Yue'e, will never forget this kindness and virtue!"

"only……"

A fierce look suddenly appeared in her eyes, and she shouted sharply: "Your wings are stiff, do you want to fly by yourself? Do you want to betray me?"

She slapped the table with her palm, and the dishes and chopsticks jingled.

There was a commotion in the hall, and things took a turn for the worse, Lu Jingxiang and the others stood up involuntarily, as if this lady was not good at entertaining her this time!It's just where the ambush is, does Xu Yue'e want to use these female guards to deal with the gang of big men in the hall?What a joke!
Yu Luan stood up abruptly. He swept away the cups and bowls in front of him, and the pieces fell to the ground. He shouted angrily, "Xu Yue'e, what do you mean by your mother?"

Xu Yuee's eyes showed indifference: "In the next life, let's be brothers again!"

At this moment, the barracks under the stronghold blazed loudly, with bursts of crying and screaming, and the sound of footsteps in the back hall, and then groups of new army soldiers holding bird blunderbusses poured in.

Yu Luan and the others looked ashen, and shouted at the same time: "Tunnel, there is a tunnel behind the hall..."

Lu Jingxiang even laughed miserably: "I forgot, really forgot, that's how this bitch killed Dai Xi and the others back then... Haha, I hate you so much..."
