Liu Xingzuo, together with Liu Xingxian, Liu Xingzhi, and Liu Xingpei, were sitting in the newly built auditorium of the Army Military Academy, waiting for Chongzhen's lecture.

Today is the day when Chongzhen came to inspect the Army Military Academy, and with the beginning of the new year, the cavalry section and artillery section of the Army Military Academy have been relocated to the Fengtai camp, and the previously small and crowded campus has become a little empty.

However, this empty time did not last long, and after the leaders of the displaced people who had been recruited by Shaanxi arrived in the capital, they divided a part of the area in the military academy as a police training course for the temporary placement of these displaced leaders.

Liu Xingzhi, who was sitting next to Liu Xingzuo, turned his head and whispered to his brother: "Big brother, I heard that the thieves next door are training here for a few months, and they will be arranged to go to Jiangnan to form a police department exactly like the capital.

We've been in the capital for a winter, how does the court plan to settle us? In addition to sending some birdmen over every day and repeatedly interrogating the brothers about their old affairs in Liaodong, it is to let us study with peace of mind in this broken campus. What is there to learn from this war for our brothers.

Or is it a group of sour people who have never been on the battlefield to teach us how to fight, isn't this child's play? I knew that the court treated me like this, so I might as well not come back. ”

Liu Xingzhi's whispered complaint was particularly harsh in Liu Xingzuo's ears. He was about to reprimand this restless brother, but found that several siblings and clan brothers sitting beside him were inexplicably silent, and they all seemed to feel the same way.

He suddenly changed his attitude and persuaded with a slightly calmer attitude: "We were already wrong once when we defected to the Jurchens. Now at great risk, even his mother and wife were abandoned in Shenyang City, and only then did he return to Daming. Now that you are so breathless and complaining loudly about the meticulous censorship of the imperial court, is it possible that you still want to go back to Houjin?

When you read books on weekdays, have you seen that since ancient times, there have been heroes and heroes who have rebelled again and again? Although our Liu family has many children and is vigorous, between the Ming Dynasty and Houjin, it is just a tiny dust. Facing Qin Muchu, two-faced and three-faced, it will only make both sides look down on us.

The imperial court was suspicious of our subordination, and investigated our past in Liaodong in detail, asking me to see that this was really a good thing. If the imperial court doesn't want to reuse us, why should it investigate our past so carefully? As long as we keep our original intention, there will always be a day when the clouds will see the light of day.

What's more, we are Han people after all, and the same Jurchens have never been a family. Whether it's Tianfang Khan or Tiancong Khan, isn't that the same as guarding against Han people like us? Although my family is in Houjin after Tong Yangxing and Li Yongfang, but Wu Gudai relied on himself to be a Manchurian and framed me back, how many people are willing to stand up and say a fair word?

Urgudai blackmailed the Han official Li Dianlin's belongings and was denounced by me, and the Mandate of Heaven Khan was clearly clear, but he still pretended not to know, but instead allowed Urgudai to frame me, saying that I was taking revenge for personal gain.

After Tiancong Khan ascended the throne, Da Beile relied on his position to extort money from my family, did Tiancong Khan stand up and say a fair word? It can be seen that this Houjin is not the world of my Han people after all.

Therefore, in the future, this kind of words that are better than keeping Houjin should not be easily spoken. If it is heard, in addition to proving that my Liu family's return to the Ming Dynasty is not out of sincerity, and being used as evidence against us, what good will it do us now?

Liu Xingzhi, is it possible that you want all the brothers and clansmen of my Liu family to be ruined on your mouth, so that you can be satisfied? If you are really so resentful, then it is better for us to wait for the resignation of His Majesty, and we will all go back to the countryside to farm, so as to keep the peace of the house. ”

It was only when he said the last sentence that Liu Xingzuo turned into a fierce speech, which made several brothers dare not complain anymore. Liu Xingzuo, as the elder brother of the seven Liu brothers, has always been known for his wisdom and bravery. Even Nurhachi deeply admired him, so in the Fuzhou rebellion, he only killed Liu Xingzuo's brother Liu Xingren and 20,000 people in Fuzhou, but did not implicate Liu Xingzuo.

With Nurhachi's personality, if Liu Xingzuo was just a mediocre person, how could he let go of this hidden danger. And the rest of the seven brothers of the Liu family can't be compared with this brother, so they can only look at him.

Now as soon as they saw their brother faintly angry, several brothers immediately changed their attitudes and assured Liu Xingzuo that they would no longer say these misleading words.

When the Liu brothers were whispering, on the seats across a vacant aisle from them, Wang Jiayin, Wu Yangui, Shen Yiyuan, Shen Yikui, Zhang Mengjin, Huang Youcai, Wang Zuogui, Miao Mei, Wang Ziyong, Luo Rucai, and other recruited leaders of the Exile Army were also whispering on the side.

Although the Wandering Army is divided into many parts, only Wang Jiayin and Shen Yikui brothers can serve the public. And quite coincidentally, all three were soldiers who had fled from the border army.

Because of the systematic military training in the army, and because of the movement back and forth with the army, these soldiers from the border army have more knowledge than those ordinary people.

Therefore, in the end, the large and small Liumin armies in Shaanxi will recommend those soldiers who have served in the army as leaders, because as the Liumin Army steps out of their hometowns, these people who have never left their hometowns for a distance of 30 miles can not even distinguish between east, west, north and south. They can only choose the leader who will lead them forward.

Among the leaders of these exile army, Wang Jiayin and Shen Yikui brothers are known for their righteousness and fairness. Therefore, from the time they were recruited by the imperial court, these leaders were gradually divided into two groups headed by them. The other leaders, big and small, were worried that they would be repented of by the imperial court after Zhao'an, so they had to start grouping, and finally attached themselves to the names of these two leaders.

Wang Jiayin and Shen Yikui's brothers have different attitudes towards the court, Wang Jiayin actually doesn't trust the court, and the reason why he accepted Zhao'an was completely because he was forced to do so. The officers and troops on the Shanxi side held the Yellow River to the death, so that the exiled army could only be trapped on the Shaanxi side.

Because the imperial court tried its best to maintain the supply of the Shaanxi border army last year and cleared up some of the arrears in the army, although Shaanxi was seriously affected, the Shaanxi border army did not fail to survive because of this, but because of the continuous supply of the imperial court, the life of the border army was better than that of ordinary civilians.

Therefore, the Shaanxi border army, which had always fled seriously in the past, rarely fled last year. On the contrary, the Shaanxi border army took advantage of the famine to replenish a lot of manpower. In this way, the Wandering People's Army, which lacked supplies, naturally would not be the opponent of the Shaanxi Border Army, which had replenished its strength and had recovered its morale.

Because of the drought in Shaanxi for two consecutive years, even if the displaced army wants to loot local replenishment supplies, it can no longer find a large household to loot. On one side, it was intercepted by the officers and soldiers in front and back, and on the other side, there was no way to grab it.

In this situation, Yang He proposed to appease the exiled army, even if Wang Jiayin did not approve, his subordinates could not let go of this line of life, so Wang Jiayin finally chose to appease.

However, although he accepted the appeasement, Wang Jiayin was still unwilling to trust the imperial court. In particular, as soon as they accepted the appeasement, they were half ordered and half forced by the imperial court to come to the capital, saying that they would carry out some kind of police training so that they could arrange new positions.

In Wang Jiayin's view, the court's forcible separation of them from his subordinates looked like a sign of goodwill. Therefore, he hoped to unite the leaders of the exiles around him so that he could deal with the actions of the imperial court.

The Shen Yikui brothers participated in the Wandering Army completely forced by life, because the border army owed wages, and the two brothers owed a gambling debt and were collected by the creditor, so they had to flee back to their hometown, but they encountered a great famine and had to participate in the Wandering Army.

Unlike Wang Jiayin's active rebellion, the Shen Yikui brothers completely passively embarked on the road of rebellion. Therefore, the Shen Yikui brothers are happy to be recruited by the imperial court, and they think that the imperial court really has no need to deceive themselves. And since he has been recruited by the imperial court, he should naturally obey the arrangement of the imperial court, otherwise this kind of recruitment will be meaningless.

The two groups of people had a constant dispute on the way from Shaanxi to the capital, but this dispute subsided after arriving in the capital. Because both sides found that after arriving in the capital, everyone became caged birds, and there was nothing left to argue.

After Chongzhen walked up to the podium from the side door, he gave a routine lecture to the cadets below, and suddenly said: "Among the cadets below today, in addition to the students of the Army Military Academy, there are also training cadets of the newly established Police University.

In fact, I have come here today not only to check the learning status of the cadets of the military academy, but also to see the training cadets of these police colleges.

Many of these students were the leaders of the Shaanxi Exile Army who were recruited by the imperial court, and I would like to take this opportunity to get to know them in depth today.

Wait a minute, I will then select a few students to come up and talk about how they went from being ordinary people to the leaders of the outcast army. I feel that both me and the cadets of the military academy should listen to their experiences.

Then we will be able to understand the suffering of the people and how to protect the people of this country. ”

Chongzhen's words not only surprised the cadets below, but also the accompanying military academy instructors were also a little overwhelmed.

But under the emperor's order, more than a dozen police cadets from Shaanxi were selected and went to the stage to tell their past stories.

When they first stood on the podium, these students who were the leaders of the Wandering People's Army were still a little distracted, and they looked very ashamed.

But as they talked about the sore spots that they could not touch in their memories, they often cried out loud.

Although most of the leaders of the Wandering People's Army were from the border army, they were trained in military affairs and were better able to preserve themselves than ordinary people. But their families are also ordinary people, and in this chaotic world of loss of order, they are also unable to protect their relatives, and can only watch these relatives pass away one by one, and even the bones cannot be saved.
