Qian Fenglin was sitting on a war horse in pain, the inner sides of his two thighs had been ground into a blur of flesh and blood, the pain had passed, and now his two thighs were numb as if they were not his own.

Three days ago, he was forced to go south with his entourage, and his family of three was forced to join the army. His wife and eight-year-old son could still travel in a carriage, but he could only ride on a war horse. In order to prevent him from falling off the horse, his legs were tightly tied with ropes.

As a third-ranking jinshi and a county's order, he walks around in a sedan chair, how could he have suffered like this, but even so, Qian Fenglin didn't dare to complain at all, his net worth and life were in the hands of others, all he could do was endure it.

The team set off from Wuyi County and went south, traveling more than 100 miles a day, which was not very fast for the cavalry.

Qian Fenglin doesn't understand military strategy, but he is a smart person, and he knows that Ping Nanbo Chen Yue will not march with him for no reason, because his family of three is actually a bit cumbersome to the army, because his wife and children are women and children can only ride in a carriage, and the speed of the carriage is not comparable to riding a horse.

He is a second minister who betrayed the Ming Dynasty, Chen Yue did not kill himself but marched with him regardless of the hardship, he must have taken a fancy to himself and wanted to work for him, Qian Fenglin didn't need to think much about this to get the answer.

Although he knew that Daming had sunset, his net worth and life were in the hands of others, and Qian Fenglin was helpless. If you serve, you can serve, at least you don't have to worry about your life.

Qian Fenglin is a smart person, and he knows that his future future is in the hands of this Ping Nanbo, and whether he can soar depends on the ability he shows. From the contact with Chen Yue, it was learned that Feng Ying's horse was not of much use to this Ping Nanbo, and if he wanted to be reused, he had to show his talent.

Therefore, all the way to the march, Qian Fenglin ignored the pain of his body, but worked hard to observe and learn the knowledge of the march, and was not ashamed to ask questions if he didn't understand, and lowered his status to ask for advice from the officers and even ordinary soldiers around him who could be contacted.

For example, now, he knows why he has the strength to travel, but he only walks more than 100 miles a day, Chen Yue ordered to rest, even if the sun is still high in the sky.

For example, when marching, a large number of sentinels should be sent to the front, back, left and right, and always probe the movements of dozens of miles around.

For example, why do you spend more than half an hour digging ditches and cutting down trees to set up a camp every day, even though it is a warm April weather, and it is not cold to camp in the open air, you still have to work hard to set up a tent.

And so on......

The team still waved the banner of Dashun all the way, walked on the vast plains, all the way through Zhouyue County, crossed the river, and moved forward all the way without fast or slow.

Although the prefectures and counties that passed along the way were nominally under the rule of Dashun, because they bypassed the state capital Dacheng, they did not encounter army interception along the way.

Of course, Qian Fenglin didn't know some of the circumstances, and the Dashun local government had already discovered the movements of this army and sent troops from Dezhou, Guangping, and Shunde to intercept it. However, they were detected by the sentinels sent by Chen Yue one by one, and the cavalry changed direction from time to time, and with a high degree of mobility, they avoided the interception of these troops.

In the boundless plains, it is not an easy task to intercept a highly mobile cavalry by infantry. Although Hebei and Shandong were all occupied by Dashun, the local defenders were not many in number, and the two were adapted from the former Ming army. The main force of the Shun army is now in Beijing, and has been taken by Li Zicheng to Shanhaiguan to attack Wu Sangui.

Therefore, in Qian Fenglin's feeling, it was as if he was still walking on the land of the Ming Dynasty, and he did not encounter the interception of the Shun army along the way.

After passing through Dongping Mansion and entering the territory of Yanzhou, the sentinels sent could no longer detect the intercepted Shun soldiers. Chen Yue knew that he had left behind all the intercepted troops. Calculate the time, today is already April 12th, Li Zicheng should have led the army to Shanhaiguan, now I am afraid that in a fierce battle with Wu Sangui, Dolgon led almost all the Manchu army, poured the country, hid outside Shanhaiguan, and was waiting for the opportunity to give Li Zicheng a blow.

After Yanzhou, all the prefectures and counties along the way were under the banner of Dashun, but there were not many Shun troops stationed, and the whole of Shandong is now almost in a power vacuum. As long as 5,000 troops can occupy the whole of Shandong, if it is not for the rendezvous with Chongzhen to go to Nanjing, Chen Yue really wants to take his army to conquer the whole of Shandong, and then use Shandong as the foundation to contend with the Manchu Qing.

But you can only think about it, because the northwest area of Shandong has been plundered by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it has long been dilapidated, only the population in the area of Dengzhou and Qingzhou on the Jiaodong Peninsula is still dense, but the Jiaodong area has always been barren and cannot support many troops at all.

It is very beneficial to carry the banner of Dashun, and it has been welcomed by many people along the way. The people were not as scared as usual when they saw the army, and some people even came to reward the army with cattle and sheep, which made Chen Yue very ashamed.

When arriving in Jinxiang County, the county order here was still appointed by the Ming Dynasty court, and when it was learned that a Shun army passed through the territory, the Jinxiang county order actually opened the city gate to surrender and led the county elders to surrender to Dashun. Chen Yue silently led the army into the county seat, and then rested in Jinxiang County for a day, after getting rid of fatigue and replenishing food supplies, he said goodbye to the county magistrate of Jinxiang with a smile, and promised to speak well for the county magistrate in front of Emperor Dashun.

Jinxiang County Commander personally Chen Yue went to the county seat ten miles away, then shed tears and said goodbye, admiring the amiability of this Dashun Ping Nanbo in his heart, and returning to the county seat with a vision for a better future.

After Jinxiang County is Xuzhou Mansion, which has been under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, in order to avoid misunderstanding, Chen Yue ordered to take down the banner of Dashun and hang the Sun and Moon Flag of the Ming Dynasty.

Two days later, the team came to a big river, looking at the Yellow River rolling eastward, Chen Yue's heart settled. Finally, there is a thrilling journey, and the process is much easier than imagined. As long as you follow the Yellow River to the southeast, you can reach Huai'an and meet the Chongzhen Emperor who came from the sea.

The team was stationed by the Yellow River for a day, Chen Yue did not rush to pass, but sent sentinels to investigate the movements in Xuzhou, and he wanted to find out the situation of the Ming army in Xuzhou and even Huai'an.

According to the history in memory, the Southern Ming Dynasty had four towns in Jiangbei, Liu Zeqing, Gao Jie and others. Chen Yue knew that Gao Jie was born as a thief, and the person who brought a green hat to Li Zicheng was not a good bird. And Liu Zeqing turned out to be the general army of Shandong, when Li Zicheng attacked Beijing, not only did he not dare to go to Beijing Qinwang, but took the army south, and now he should be stationed near Xuzhou.

These Ming armies are not good at external warfare, and they are better at internal than one another, and they have only about 1,000 people under their own hands, and they have nearly 2,000 war horses, which is a piece of fat in the eyes of others, Chen Yue doesn't want to plunge into other people's mouths.
