Chapter 39: A New Coating

In those days, looting to raise the morale of the army was indeed a good way. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhen they heard that North Korea was going to be plundered, the flag-bearers let out a burst of cheers. But it didn't take long for someone to ask worriedly, "But can we beat them?" ”

Since the rise of the Qiongzhou Army, the Qing army has been defeated in a hundred battles, and it has already been beaten to the point that its morale has been completely lost, and now even if they are allowed to fight against the vulnerable North Korean army, these banner people have no confidence to win.

Goshha said: "Lord Tu will send the elite Baijia Bayala to go together, and your leaders are also elite veterans outside the gate!" As long as my Qing Heavenly Soldiers arrive in North Korea, North Korea will inevitably hear the wind and surrender! ”

To tell the truth, the Eight Banners in the Guannai are rotten, but against North Korea, they may not really lose. What's more, there is also a group of white-armored soldiers who can fight one enemy and one hundred, there are elite Eight Banners outside the Guanwai, plus the new army of Eight Banners that has been transferred. These Qing troops could not win against the Ming army, which used sophisticated firearms, but it was no problem to fight North Korea.

Before the invasion of Korea, whether it was in the capital or in North China, the Qing court was preparing intensively. Part of the Eight Banners New Army stationed in Xiangyang was transferred back to the capital, and Suke Saha, who Kangxi and Bumu Butai had long looked down on, was transferred to Xiangyang.

Magistrates everywhere were recruiting Han Chinese as clothed servants and preparing to go out of the customs to cultivate the land.

At that time, the land in North China was barren, and it could not support so many people at all, and it was enclosed by the banner people, and a large number of people were displaced and turned into refugees. Most of the refugees who were enclosed went to Lianghuai. Because the Qing court needed to maintain hardcore crops, the volume of Cao Yun increased, and many refugees became canal boatmen, some to Xiangyang, and some to Shandong. Now that Xiangyang is about to face war, the canal transportation has stopped again, and many more refugees have arrived.

There were also some people from Huguang and Jiangnan, who fled to the north with the local gentry, and also became refugees.

Tan Jiping, who came from Hunan, is one such tenant. The gentry of the Tan family once organized Xiangyong to fight against the Ming army, and after the defeat of Huguang, several large families of the Tan family fled to Jiangbei for fear of retaliation by the Ming army. Some tenants were bewitched by the gentry and patriarchs, believing that the Ming army was doing all kinds of evil, so they also fled to the north.

But after arriving in the north, Tan Jiping had no way out of his life. The gentry fled to the north, with the silver that the family had accumulated over the years to spend for a while. And tenants like Tan Jiping couldn't even rent land after going to the north, so they could only follow the refugees and beg along the way to Shandong, where the land was more fertile, to see if they could rent land.

Outside Texas, there is a large number of refugees who have been turned into boatmen, as well as refugees who have fled from the South.

Zhang Asi, a soldier of the Green Battalion who had just enlisted in the army not long ago, was holding a spear and stood guard outside the refugee camp to maintain order. Zhang Asi was originally a salt farmer, but after becoming a refugee, he came to Tianjin, originally preparing to rob a large household, but Wang Xiqingtian came and arrested the profiteers and distributed food to the refugees. Zhang Asi also got a mouthful of food, which allowed the family to barely survive. But this little food could not last long, so he signed up for the army.

It just so happened that the Green Battalion was expanding recruitment, and the strong Zhang Asi was selected at once and became a recruit of the Green Battalion.

Although refugees like Zhang Asi can become soldiers, not every refugee can successfully enlist, first of all, women and the elderly cannot enlist, those who are too poor are not eligible to enlist, and those who are too young are not accepted, after all, the number of green battalion soldiers is limited, and most refugees cannot become soldiers.

Looking at those refugees, Zhang Asi recalled the days when he became a refugee, and his heart was full of sympathy for these refugees. But he was a small soldier and could not support the refugees.

Local officials have also set up porridge shacks to give multigrain porridge to the refugees. The multigrain porridge was made from corn, sorghum, sweet potatoes and other grains and wild vegetables, and because of the lack of food, the multigrain porridge was so thin that each refugee could only get a small bowl, and they could not eat enough at all.

Tan Jiping was among the refugees, fleeing all the way from Hunan to Shandong, but he did not rent land to cultivate, so he could only temporarily stay with the refugees and wait for the multigrain porridge that the imperial court gave him.

"It's all lined up! One bowl for everyone! Zhang Asi and a few green battalion soldiers came out to maintain order.

The steaming multigrain porridge had already been boiled, and several green battalion soldiers poured the porridge in the big iron pot into a large vat, and then lifted the iron pot to the fire, added water to the pot, added a small amount of miscellaneous grains, put in wild vegetables, and boiled the next pot of porridge.

Tan Jiping also hit a bowl of porridge, this multigrain porridge is as thin as boiling water, which can show the figure of a person, and there is a small wild vegetable leaf in the porridge.

"When will this hard day be a head! It's so easy that the world is peaceful, why do you still have to fight? Tan Jiping drank porridge and thought about this question in his heart, he really couldn't figure it out.

It was also when Tan Jiping was looking forward to the early arrival of the good days, and the good days really came: several officials beat gongs and drums, shouting loudly, to recruit the customs of the coat Aha, as long as the name of the painting and a charge, you can get enough food, after the customs have land to plant, if the grain harvest is good, there is also a possibility of being carried out of the flag to become a flag man!

"I'm signing up!" Tan Jiping rushed to the front of the official and shouted excitedly.

"Go over there and sign up!" The official pointed to the registration office outside the refugee camp and said.

The refugees were in a stir and crowded to the registration desk.

Tan Jiping was the first to sign up, and he was taken to a newly built clothing camp on the edge of the canal, and was given a bag of dry food, ready to wait for the boat to go to the capital. He became a coated minion.

Three days later, Tan Jiping's boat arrived outside the capital. After disembarking at the wharf outside Dongbianmen, he and a new batch of coats were taken to the Eight Banners camp outside Dongzhimen.

"This is your future master!" Tan Jiping was brought to Etuhun by Zhang Asi.

Although Zhang Asi is a green battalion soldier, his team was fortunate to be selected to be included in the flag, and now he is a Han Eight Banner soldier. His team will be led by Etuhun, and the newcomer Tan Jiping is the Bao Yi Aha of this Zuo Ling, and those new Bao Yi will go to the outside of the Guan to develop wasteland.

At this time, Etuhun has changed into a bright armor, and he still looks majestic, and people who don't know think that this is an elite soldier, but in fact, it is a silver-like pewter spear head.

Etuhun was very satisfied with a soldier like Zhang Asi, who was strong and strong, and knew at a glance that he could protect himself on the battlefield.

"Master!" Tan Jiping knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Etu. He was very grateful to this flag man, if it weren't for the flag man's expansion of clothing, he couldn't imagine how many days he could support himself in the Texas refugee camp. As a coated minion, not only can he have enough to eat, but also land to plant, how can he not be grateful for such a good thing.
