Chapter 152: The Troops Heading South

[All kinds of requests, for the sake of my brother this week, I don't know if I can receive a background text message today, pull a hand, pull a hand]

Gao Jinghui's battalion finally got out of Luyang Pass. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info other parts from Ruzhou Prefecture to Baofeng, and then to Lushan, this road can not get the slightest convenience of water transportation, all rely on two legs, the speed of travel can be imagined.

The 1780-mile journey was carried by their battalion for four days, and then repaired for a day in the county town of Lushan, dragging a batch of artillery and a logistics supply team, and now the marching speed was even slower. Only from Lushan County to Luyang Pass, this is another day's journey.

There is a distance of 100 miles from Luyang Pass to Nanzhao County, and Gao Jinghui led his troops to go as fast as possible, and he also walked for three days. Chen Ming, Yongrui, and Chen Huizu brought the people and horses together, and he saw the city wall of Nanzhao County.

After the team passed through Nanzhao County, Gao Jinghui was surprised to find that there were more and more beggars and homeless people on the road, and almost blocked the official road from Nanzhao to Nanyang Fucheng, although his team did not need to go overland after arriving in Nanzhao, and entered the Baihe, one of the two major tributaries of the upper reaches of the Tangbai River, through the Yahe River, and then went south for one hundred and eighty miles, and then reached Nanyang directly.

But the scene in front of him also surprised Gao Jinghui, there are relatively few families who drag children and daughters with old and young people on this official road, and there are many strong men and strong women.

Gao Jinghui asked the soldiers around him to investigate, and the soldiers reported that most of the accents were natives of Nanyang Prefecture, and their destination was the mountainous area west of Nanzhao.

Gao Jinghui changed into civilian clothes in curiosity, found a few homeless people and asked, "Brothers, where are you going?" ”

The faces of the homeless people were numb, and they were not interested in Gao Jinghui's curious inquiry at all, if it weren't for Gao Jinghui taking out a bag of bread. A few people replied honestly: "Let's go to Wuduo Mountain." "Wuduo Mountain is just west of Nanzhao County.

"Oh, why did you go so far to Wuduo Mountain? Isn't Xiangyang better? ”

At the mention of Xiangyang, a flash of anger flashed on the faces of the homeless, "We are all from Nanyang, but the people of Xiangyang have ruined our home, and we will not go to Xiangyang if we die." ”

Gao Jinghui was completely stunned. "It was the officers and soldiers who harmed you? But I remember that the soldiers who came to fight Nanyang were all from Hanzhong Town? ”

"Ni Daliang, that dog official is from Xiangyang. If he hadn't led his troops and connived at his thieves to plague us, would we have been so miserable? ”

"Officers and soldiers who are still in their prime. They are not even able to defeat the soldiers of the Fu Han army...... "Since the establishment of the General's Mansion, the name of the Chen Jiajun outside has gradually become the Fu Han Army.

The resentment and bitter hatred that emerged on the faces of the displaced people, Gao Jinghui did not think it was a fraud. He was a random outcast.

The homeless people took the bread and hid it tightly in their arms, and there seemed to be a new energy in their bodies, and they trotted into the army of homeless people. The smile on Gao Jinghui's face couldn't be hidden. The homeless people regard the Qing soldiers as inferior to the Chen family army in their hearts, and the people's hearts are available. As long as the Chen family survives this encirclement and suppression, the strength of the Chen family army will be able to rise like a head.

In the successive battles of the generation in western Henan and southern Henan, the military discipline of the Qing soldiers was poor, but the Chen family army had strict military discipline, strictly burning, killing and looting, and it was not allowed to humiliate women. As long as Chen Jiajun can continue to win!

Gao Jinghui's heart was unprecedentedly bright at this moment.

"The people's hearts can be used, the people's hearts can be used. As long as Chen Jiajun can withstand the current hurdle, everything is promising. Gao Jinghui stayed in Lushan County for that day, "I heard that there are already heroes from Anhui and Huguang who have come to vote." ”

The logistics officer beside him laughed and said: "The General's Mansion is famous all over the world, and heroes from all over the world will come to vote." ”

"That's the good thing about fame." Although the number of people from other provinces is still very small.

A day later, Gao Jinghui was stunned in front of the Chen family's military camp in Shiqiao Town, with endless shacks and noisy people.

Although he didn't care about civil affairs, he also had the idea that the more people there were, the better, but now he was also frightened by the scene in front of him. Such a mess, if the Qing soldiers come over, can Shiqiao Town hold it? This is the general supply base of the Nanyang front line of the Chen Jiajun.

The team walked through the shack area, and Gao Jinghui was anxious to ask what was going on. Although after peeling off the shell surrounded by the shacks, the Chen Jiajun camp inside was still built to a very strict standard, but Gao Jinghui was always uneasy about the number of displaced people with at least tens of thousands of people outside.

In the camp's school grounds, a group of 200 recruits was marching in formation. The instructor was giving orders loudly, and the six instructors around him were also eyeing him with short sticks, and any soldier who made a mistake would be painfully reminded. After a series of formations, the group of soldiers formed a relatively solemn two-row linear queue in the direction of the target.

"All locally recruited recruits?"

"Brother Jinghui doesn't know something. The soldiers in Hanzhong Town are too bandits, so Ni Daliang is not here to fight, he is here to collect money. The locals of Nanyang hate them to death. ”

"The new Nanyang Town soldier Zhang Dajing is still a little shameful, and now he is fighting with the remnants of Nanyang Town's defeated generals and Nanyang's township warriors and Hanzhong Town's people."

"So, don't look at the fact that they have six thousand people, they really attacked a few battles at the beginning, which caused some pressure on our team guarding Nanyang City, but now they really can't threaten Nanyang City. Otherwise, the stone bridge is only forty miles away from the front line, where would so many displaced people gather here? ”

In the days when Hanzhong Town entered Nanyang Mansion, the Shiqiao Town Recruitment Office recruited at least five teams of recruits. Although they are all a group of new soldiers, they all have an absolute blood hatred for the Qing soldiers. The 'grievance meeting' in Chen Jiajun's team can very much stimulate the common hatred of these people.

General Lushan's Mansion is already preparing to establish a new training camp in Nanyang, but the battalion officers have not yet been in place for a while, and Zhang Chi, who is in charge of logistics, is temporarily under the unified leadership.

On a smaller school site.

"Shoot!"

A group of recruits were already training in shooting with modified flintlock guns. The front muskets fired a volley, then retreated from the gap to the rear row to reload.

Gao Jinghui watched the hundred-man team carry out three rows of serial salvos, and in the first round, they could still maintain a firing efficiency of more than eighty percent, and in the second round, it was only seventy, and in the third round, he didn't know if there were sixty of the hundred flintlock shotguns below.

After three rounds of shooting, a few hungry wolves with short sticks pounced into the team, and they were beaten with sticks against some of the guys they were targeting.

Zhang Chi didn't dare to say that there was not a single spy for the Qing soldiers among the recruits of these five teams, but he could guarantee that the recruits of these five teams would definitely dare to fight to the death with the Qing soldiers when they were pulled to the battlefield; He can also be sure that the recruits of these five teams are just the beginning, and there will inevitably be more Nanyang people entering the recruit camp in the future.

There are two million people in Nanyang Mansion, and at this time, the people who hate Hanzhong to the bone will definitely not only have a small five hundred young people!
