open sea

Chapter 45 Qi Jun
On the Beijiang River, dozens of boats galloped briskly on the water. There were guard soldiers in bright armor standing on the boats. When the boats got off the water, there were Dan soldiers in thin armors swimming with the boats.

Beside the sail of the leading boat was a flag that read Qingyuan Weiqing City Qianhusuo and waved in the wind.

"General Yu, rise up."

At the bow of the boat, Chen Mu stood facing the spring breeze, and when he heard Bai Yuanjie who was sitting behind him say such a sentence, when he turned around, his eyes were filled with joy.The recovery of Yu Dayou shows Bai Yuanjie's vision, and also means that the telescope can be used for military purposes for the first time.At the same time, the greater the role of the telescope in the war, the more credit they or Bai Yuanjie contributed to the mirror.

Chen Mu?Chen Mu doesn't care about this credit, he only cares about friendship.In Chen Mu's mind, the anticipation of the telescope was nothing more than a bridge. He needed such a bridge to expand his possible relationship network, and he didn't expect mere small things to get promoted and make a fortune.

He hoped that Bai Yuanjie would take this opportunity to be promoted, and even wanted Bai Yuanjie to be the commander of the Qingyuan Guard.

How big a person is and how much food he can eat, even if the commander of Qingyuanwei gives him, he may not be able to do well, but if Bai Yuanjie is the commander, it will be different. Under Bai Yuanjie's wings, he can get enough position to display his ambitions, which is enough .

What ambitions could he have?It is nothing more than some money, someone who is enslaved, enough to eat and drink, and maybe enjoy some conveniences of high status and weight in the feudal society in the future.

The dozens of boats on the river were not soldiers of the Qingyuan Guards, nor were they all the people of the Qianhu Institute in Qingcheng. They were only Bai Yuanjie's Man Liao Battalion and his banner army with a total of 500 people.Now spring is the busy time of farming, but Governor Wu Guifang came in a hurry to recruit troops, and they were dispatched by the commander to set off first when they had a boat, and the large troops first entered the boundary of Guangzhou Prefecture by land and then went north to Shaozhou Prefecture.

But in fact, in Chen Mu's eyes, this is the full combat power of the Qingyuan Guard. The more than 3000 banner troops behind are just fighting against the wind. They will basically collapse when they encounter adversity. Don't look at the number of them being six times that of them. It's probably 500% of them. To be beaten up by a handful of [-] of them and flee all over the mountains and plains.

"Qianhu knew before that Li Yayuan was going to rebel?" Chen Mu looked at the background of the Sergeant of the Barbarian Battalion tumbling in the river in front of the boat. mentioned that name."

"He didn't want to rebel. He rebelled a long time ago. He started a rebellious army and troubled Heyuan for several years." Bai Yuanjie is much better than Chen Mu in the news channel. Go, like Huayaofeng, Wu Duan, Wen Qi in Guangdong, and Ye Danlou in Fujian, each of these gangs has been rampant in dangerous places for several years. When the court beat them hard, they bowed their heads and surrendered, and waited for the officers and soldiers to leave. , and turned into thieves, the court beat them for many years, but the more they suppressed, the more people they suppressed."

Chen Mu smacked his tongue secretly when he heard this. Before, he just thought that at this time in the Ming Dynasty, there were Hulu in the north and Japanese pirates in the south. Fortunately, he was able to see such a prosperous scene in Guangcheng before!
"For several years, the government has never sent a large army to conquer like it does now?"

"Conquest for what?" Bai Yuanjie glanced at Chen Mu sarcastically, "Let's not talk about other places, just Guangdong, General Qi is in Fujian to destroy the Japanese pirates, and the rest of the Japanese pirates have come to Guangdong. Japanese pirates are running everywhere. What do you ask the government to get Crusade? Right now, this is the time to clear the Japanese pirates, so that there is free time to attack them."

Chen Mu probably understood, "It's because the Japanese pirates are more powerful than these rebels, so we prioritized, first destroying the Japanese pirates and then suppressing them?"

"What you said is not much different. Although there are many rebels, the old and weak, women and children are all counted as rebels. Although they are powerful, their combat power is far inferior to that of the Japanese, who are only young and strong." Bai Yuanjie raised his hand and gestured. Looking at the fast boats left and right, he said: "It's not as good as our soldiers. This is a good thing for you and me. This kind of battle is not difficult to fight. The difficulty lies in how to find the headquarters of the thief head. As long as you find him, you only need hundreds of elite soldiers to defeat them." This is the best opportunity for military training."

After Bai Yuanjie finished speaking, he glanced at Chen Mu who was nodding aside, and said again: "But don't underestimate the enemy. This kind of big battle is not dangerous as long as you follow the army. Remember not to go deep. Once you leave the army and are surrounded, even the old and weak, women and children Swarming up, even if I give you a hundred blunderbusses, it won't help - you lead the blunderbuss flag and find an opportunity to release the blunderbuss, don't charge at the enemy. Don't expect to earn much merit in this battle. A total of [-] troops will be recruited, right? There are still two opportunities to go to the battlefield.”

"Is there still a chance to play?"

Chen Mu paused for a moment before he realized Bai Yuanjie's words, "Then what are we going to do in the conscripts? The troops of the guards are marching out, and a hundred thousand troops will gather in one place. The money and supplies will consume a lot of money! Thousand households, tell me the way?"

Originally imagined tens of thousands of officers and soldiers and tens of thousands of bandit soldiers, the entire Shaozhou prefecture was estimated to be turned into a battlefield for a while. What a big scene it was. Thinking of this place, Chen Mu felt both excited and nervous, but Seeing Bai Yuanjie say so convincingly that he may not have a chance to play, his nervousness disappeared a lot, and at the same time, he felt disappointed.

If he can't fight the war and has no meritorious service, it's better to let him go back to Qingyuan to farm. If he has this back and forth for a few months, he might be able to achieve some results in infantry.What did you come to Shaozhou Mansion to watch?

"The mobilization of the army is to block the dangerous terrain and prevent the bandits from fleeing. A few thousand is enough to break the battle. In addition, it is also to suppress tens of thousands of prisoners after the victory. As for the battle, huh... There is the Qi family army." Bai Yuanjie sneered noncommittally, "Can we still use the Weisuo army?"

"Qi's Army?" Chen Mu turned his head and asked abruptly: "Qianhu, you mean that the Qi's Army was also recruited, so we can see General Qi in this battle?"

The Qi Family Army, the Qi Family Army sweeping across the southeast!

Chen Mu has long wanted to see this general and his invincible army!

"General Qi? General Qi will not participate in this battle. After the annihilation of Wu Ping, General Qi has been leading the navy to wipe out the remaining Japanese at sea to stabilize the coastal defense. This has freed up Governor Wu to stabilize the civil strife. However, Wang Rulong, the general of the Qi family army, is now in Guangdong. General, he is probably going to go out with the army." Bai Yuanjie looked at Chen Mu's disappointment and smiled, stood up and said with relief: "You want to ask General Qi Yuanjing about the art of war, right? Don't be discouraged, there will be opportunities in the future, your official position is too low, Even Bai does not have the status to enter the account for discussion."

Bai Yuanjie pursed her lips, and her resolute high cheekbones made her face look more serious: "If you don't want to see mediocre people stealing high positions, make great achievements and become a commander!"

　good morning friends!
