ps: Continue the three watches today. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Chapter 1!

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month was a very cloudy day, and there was not a trace of the moon in sight at night. Chen Ming did not accompany his parents, wife and children in Tiezhai, but came to Phoenix Terrace, which had been quiet for a long time.

Phoenix Taipei Battery.

The gunpowder had been cleaned up, and the fortress, which had been immobile after fifty or sixty shots of General Weiyuan's cannon in the war, was now filled with a strong smell of meat.

Chen Ming, Chen Erhu, as well as the leaders of the left and right artillery teams and the leaders of the left and right infantry teams of Phoenix Terrace, the six people set up a table in the north fort, singing songs with hot pot, and a five-pound pot of Baofeng wine was about to bottom out.

There was a rush of footsteps outside. Chen Ming's eyes lit up, and Chen Erbao glanced at each other unexpectedly, and drank half a bowl of wine in the wine bowl with his head raised: "It seems that our hero is back!" ”

"Young Master. Fortunately, we have fulfilled our mission! Huang Zicong strode into the right fort with a cold air and a proud face, followed by Chen Dawei, who was five big and three thick.

At the beginning, Chen Ming's two personal bodyguards, now Chen Dawei is still Chen Ming's personal bodyguard, although he wears a guard captain's hat on his head, and Huang Zicong has become a sharp knife in the reconnaissance team.

Huang Zicong, who is ruthless and brave when he is a child, has a ruthlessness in his bones, and his brain is stronger than Chen Dawei, who is full of muscles. After being recommended by Chen Ming to the reconnaissance team, he quickly showed his head.

"The Lu's battalion garrison was shot in the head by me. The grain stored by the officers and soldiers in Tumen was also ignited by our fire......" Huang Zicong excitedly and proudly expressed the credit of his team.

And this is also the reason why Chen Ming came to Fenghuangtai on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, instead of staying in Tiezhai to spend the Lantern Festival with his family.

"It's a pity that you can't see the fire of the Tumen Collection here......"

Winter is coming to an end. With the addition of the five or six hundred miners, the number of soldiers in the Chen family army approached the 1,000 mark, and at the same time, the men under 50 and 15 in the four villages also received a certain amount of military training, and all the women put their feet down, and those big-footed daughters-in-law also joined in. The Chen family did not ask them to also go into battle, but only asked them to know how to load muskets with gunpowder and know how to transport ammunition and materials when the village was in the most critical situation.

Because after the beginning of spring, the enemy that Chen Jiajun had to face was a whole Nanyang Town.

After Chen Guang's army retreated to Funiu Mountain, since the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Chen Guang has transmitted information to the mountain twice in a month, which is the number of successes, and the number of failures must be several times more: Baoning, the chief soldier of Nanyang Town, has already arrived in Lushan, and the entire Nanyang Town is mobilizing.

Of course, Chen Ming would not think that Bao Ning would pull all the soldiers and horses from the entire Nanyang Town, but it was very likely that Bao Ning would pull one or two thousand men and horses. This is the biggest crisis since the Chen family uprising!! He couldn't do nothing and just wait for the Qing army to be ready to attack.

Although Chen Ming already felt very sure, after all, Chen Jiajun now had a thousand troops.

"This is just the beginning."

Chen Ming had a smile on his face, and poured a bowl of wine for Huang Zicong: "Take it." "I poured myself another bowl." Everyone also served up and saluted our heroes and heroes. ”

On this night, he believed that the night sky of Tumenji must be exceptionally bright.

……

At noon the next day, Boryeong received an urgent report from Tumenji that the garrison had been assassinated, and the warehouse had been burned with a fire that had burned most of the grain reserves, and the fire had also ignited gunpowder.

"Rubbish!"

The angry Boryeong had a straight pain in his chest. Most of the grain, that's 3,000 stones? The entire Tumen set has more than 5,000 stone of grain reserves. Three thousand stones are enough for the entire Nanyang Town for a month, as well as gunpowder. It is also thanks to the fact that the garrison of the Lu battalion has been assassinated, otherwise Bao Ning would have cut him down.

"Order the Lu battalion to strengthen the garrison and lead the Lu battalion with the left team officer."

Bao Ning suppressed his anger and issued a very correct order. It is not yet the first month, and the climate of Lushan will snow in early February, the year is over, but the real sense of spring has not yet arrived, this is not the time to march.

There will be no anger in the army!

Boryeong is not very old, but his personality is calm enough. After he arrived in Lushan a few years ago, he did not immediately launch an offensive against the Chen family because of the arrogance of the Chen family. It was only for the Lu battalion to overwhelm Tumenji, and then ordered the villages and towns along the middle and lower reaches of the Yinma River to smash the ice surface of the Yinma River, cutting off the Chen family's fundamental reliance for rapid travel between inside and outside the mountains.

This seems to be very conservative and inferior, but he has really achieved the key point of quickly stabilizing the situation in Lushan.

The angry Baoning used a more stern attitude to mobilize the people from all walks of life who were about to gather in Nanyang Town. Chen Ming also went back to Tiezhai and continued to train the more than 500 new miners. Huang Zicong and his team stayed in Fenghuangtai, always keeping an eye on the movements and movements of the Tumen Ji Qing army.

The five or six hundred miners who were rescued from the private mines by the Chen family do not need to be doubted in their loyalty. These people who were bought into private mines were either poor and white early, and they had no money, or they were full of grievances, and even the Chen family found many people who had disappeared in Lushan County in recent years when they were cleaning up the miners in various mines. It seems that they are all 'missing'.

Five or six hundred people were all knotted and looked strong. But this is just an appearance, and it doesn't really mean how good this group of laborers is, and the Chen family also runs a private mine, so how can they not know the fate of these slave laborers? There are very few who can last more than three years. Don't look at their bodies that look strong and strong, but they are all overdrawing their vitality, and their bodies are about to be hollowed out.

After these people followed the Chen family up the mountain, they knew very well that these five or six hundred people were of great importance to the Chen family, Chen Hui, Chen Cong and others, every day they were nourished by oil and water + medicinal materials, and the training degree at the beginning was also very small, as long as they were able to distinguish the left and right clearly, they could line up, stand in a military posture, and walk and run in unison.

It wasn't until the New Year, when the faces of these miners faded from black and yellow, and blood appeared, that Chen Ming began to increase their training volume little by little. I don't dare to really let go of my hands.

Chen Ming never forgot the evaluation of the mountain doctor on this group of miners: hollowed out!

But don't underestimate this group of miners. These people are born with the meaning of discipline and organization, and the ingenuity shown by a little training makes Chen Ming have to sigh at the advanced nature of the working class!

Compared with the displaced and mountain people recruited by the Chen family, these five or six hundred miners have unconsciously walked to the front of the former.

Especially the thirty big men selected by Chen Ming, all of them are tigers with bears' waists, whether their bodies are really hollowed out or not, anyway, now they are more awesome than the other. The hundred-pound stone lock wheel is half-ringing without stopping.

These people were included in Chen Ming's own guards, and they were supplied with good food and drink, each of them was equipped with double iron armor, covered with cotton jackets, and used heavy weapons such as broadswords and axes and hammers. When the white-knuckle fight, the thirty of them fought ten times as many green battalion soldiers. Although no matter how you look at this army, they are all heavy armored soldiers who are destined to decline, but in the case that the Chen family's army has no source of gunpowder and can only be restricted, in the case of a large number of cold weapon troops and the Chen family's army, such an elite force is necessary.
