Suddenly, taking advantage of the bright sunlight, he found a figure in the mountains and forests to the east.After a while, more and more people came out of the woods.Someone in the army shouted: "Didn't the forward scouts patrol Dongshan?"

Zhu Gaoxu did not say a word, he was still very calm, and continued to watch the scene on the hillside... After all, in this era, it is very troublesome to gather a large army; Zhu Gaoxu knew the movement of the main force of the enemy army thousands of miles away.It is impossible for there to be a large army in the Banzhou area, so naturally a large group of ambushes cannot suddenly appear; at this time, the lethality of weapons is limited, and if there are insufficient troops to ambush the army, it will be an egg hitting a stone.

A group of cavalry from the King of Han army left the main road and ran towards a mountain road to the east.

At this moment, those people on the mountain raised a banner, which was a piece of gray rags stitched together.Zhu Gaoxu squinted his eyes carefully and finally saw the words written on the cloth.

There is a big black letter written on it: Ming.

Then, the people who had already walked out of the forest knelt down on one knee to the banner of the Central Army of the King of Han, as if they were silently saluting the army.

"Crossing youth!" Zhu Gaoxu blurted out.

According to the definition of Ma Peng (Yao Fengji), the commander of the Yuezhou Guard: Chuanqing people are Han Chinese, Han sergeants who fled.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly remembered that before he went to Guizhou, he ordered the third division of Sichuan to issue a decree in Yichuan.

The decree stated that the "Chuanqing people" who were overwhelmed and fled in Yun, Gui, and Sichuan had once guarded dangerous places for the Ming court and had contributed to protecting the country and the people.Therefore, the Han Palace decided that during the period from Hongwu Year to Yongle Five Years, military households who fled would be pardoned for their crimes and allowed to return to their hometowns to serve as citizens; There must be no mistake in the military salary and the officers and men of the Han Dynasty army.

Unexpectedly, the first batch of Chuanqing people came to vote soon.With role models, there will be more and more in the future!

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the flag in the distance, his face was a little moved, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.He thought to himself: In this world, there are always grass, sheep, and people, but if there is a flag that can organize the sheep, it is impossible to guarantee that they will not become people.The key is organization.

He turned his head and pointed at a military commander of the guards and said, "Go and call Hou Hai over, you have been busy these days. Those who wear green, first give them military rations, and then verify the military registration and registration book, and send them Wear armor and weapons, pay the army, and organize into an army."

"The end will be ordered!"

The army continued to move forward, and in the afternoon, the Chinese army camped at a small post.The pigs, sheep, bacon and other materials that the supply camp collected or traded from the Bozhou area have also been transported, and everyone will celebrate the New Year in the camp.

There was the crackling of firearms outside the station, and red couplets were posted outside the lobby.In the noisy camps, there is gradually a festive atmosphere.

It may be that the supply camp distributed the pigs and sheep to the Chuanqing people, and there was a shout from the Chuanqingren's camp, "The king of Han is the king of the brothers!"

This is indeed the first time that the word "wearing youth" has appeared in the official residence newspaper.They are military households that are easily overlooked. If Zhu Gaoxu hadn't heard about Ma Peng, he would have never heard of them.However, the Hanwang Mansion's titles that have been handed down by the people can also be written in the official documents; just for this matter, the military households in various places know the attitude of the Hanwang Mansion.

Zhu Ying was celebrating the new year, but Zhu Gaoxu was busy reading the newspaper in the lobby of the post station.

The reports of the generals in the army and the official documents of the yamen in Sichuan and Yunnan were sent to the Chinese army. During the day, Zhu Gaoxu had to ride on horseback, but he couldn't see it, so he stopped and was busy dealing with this matter.

Miaojin brought a cup of tea and placed it on a strange table next to her.The table is square, but there is a round hole in the middle, which can be used to burn fire, which reminds people of the hot pot table of later generations.

She glanced this way and saw that Zhu Gaoxu was writing furiously and was about to leave.Zhu Gaoxu said without raising his head, "We haven't spent New Year's Eve together for many years."

Miao Jin turned around, "I was still in the capital last time..." She suddenly remembered something, and her voice stopped abruptly.

Zhu Gaoxu looked up and saw that her cheeks were flushed.

He recalled a little bit, and also remembered the last New Year's Eve in the capital before going to Yunnan.The scene on the carriage appeared in his mind, the fireworks lit up the dark carriage from time to time, and the beautiful and moving pictures flashed like pictures.

"It is indeed in the capital." Zhu Gaoxu put down the brush in his hand, "but the first thing I thought of just now was that New Year's Eve in Beiping. Maybe it was the well in Yanwang's mansion, which was really scary at night. Something very impressive."

When Miao Jin didn't speak, that charming face seemed to be able to speak.She dodged with shame on her face just now, but now she showed a richer expression, which seemed to be a little grateful and a little sighing.

Her red lips parted slightly, and she was just about to speak, but unexpectedly a voice came from outside the door: "My lord, the 'Shouyu Mansion' sent someone to deliver a letter, and they just arrived at the camp."

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Miao Jin whose back was facing the door, and said loudly, "Let it in, Nan Si or Bei Si?"

The visitor replied: "Go back to the prince, the messenger brought the news of the Second Division of the North and the South."

The so-called Shouyufu is equivalent to the yamen of Jinyiwei.It turned out that the King’s Mansion of the Han Dynasty had set up a spy organization. In order to deceive people’s eyes and ears, it was called the “Hundred Households of the King’s Mansion”. ... Beizhen Fusi is in charge of prisons and spies, and Nanzhen Fusi's responsibilities include researching weapons.

After a while, a messenger walked in the door, saluted and presented the things.In addition to the letter, there was actually a firecracker wrapped in cloth.

It must be the new firearm developed by Nansi!Zhu Gaoxu took it out with great interest and looked at it for a while, before he soon showed a disappointed expression.This is not a novelty, but an imitation of the "sharp gun" seized from An Nanguo.

Although this thing hits a little farther than the copper fire blunderbuss of the Ming army, the arrow clusters used are more troublesome to manufacture than the projectiles of the copper fire blunderbuss... and there is also a big disadvantage, the penetrating power of the arrow clusters On the contrary, it is not as good as a projectile. It is probably the reason why the arrows cannot rotate after they come out of the bore. Is it because there is no bore|line?

The biggest problem is that there is no essential difference between An Nanguo's "sharp gun" and the Ming army's firecrackers; the barrels are still cast, and they still need to be lit with open flames.

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and told the messenger to leave first.He resentfully put down the gun, turned his head and asked, "What did Miao Jin want to say just now?"

"Forgot." Miao Jin's expression returned to calm.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at her and didn't force it.

He sat for a while, then pointed to the firecrackers on the table and said, "The Palace of the King of Han can't just imitate, but also create it himself. If something like this is made, it won't have much effect. , and the enemy army can easily imitate it.”

He picked up the brush and brought over a blank sheet of paper, intending to reply to Nan Si.But when he picked up the pen, he put it down quickly.

Zhu Gaoxu always thought it was strange when he thought of the posture of the sergeants setting off firecrackers.It's like holding a long|gun, and the position is near the chest... This is completely different from the gun-firing posture that Zhu Gaoxu has experienced from various movies and military training. His impression is that the gun should be aimed with the eyes.

However, the posture of the Ming army made it impossible to aim at all, which is one of the reasons why the hit rate of the firecrackers was very low; but the soldiers could not change their postures, because when setting off the firecrackers, they had to free up one hand to point the fuse, so they had to It's under the armpit first.

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a while, and then wrote it in his reply, asking Nan Si to find a way to test and change the ignition device of the firecracker so that he could aim with both hands.

Then he busily tore apart Bei Si's letter, and said, "I've finished reading this letter, let's go for a walk around."

"The great battle is imminent, and the King of Han should focus on major events." Miao Jin persuaded softly.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "I spent an hour walking with Miao Jin on the afternoon of New Year's Eve, can't I lose the battle because of this reason?"

Miao Jin listened, and a smile appeared in her bright almond eyes.

Zhu Gaoxu opened the letter to read, and the smile on his face quickly disappeared.He raised his head and said, "Qu Neng really has good eyesight. The enemy army in Huguang is going to reinforce Guizhou, and the commander is Wu Gao."

"Marquis of Jiangyin." Miao Jin responded.She was born in a family of officials, and she seemed like a treasure to those old officials with high positions and powers.

Zhu Gaoxu had a thoughtful expression, and didn't say another word.

He thought, Wu Gao must take the road of "Ruhuguang Road" to Guizhou.

Zhu Gaoxu has experience. He led his army through Wusada Luzhou Road, and now he is taking Yubojian Road.This kind of mobilization often takes hundreds of miles or thousands of miles, and the army walks on the official roads that have been repaired several times. If the arrangement is not right, it will easily be congested or the military supplies will not be well supplied; something went wrong.

"Will the King of Han still go out?" Miao Jin's voice asked.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded: "It was agreed just now, let's go."

Miao Jin said, "I'll go get the veiled cap."

Chapter 422 Taking Chestnuts from the Fire

Whenever Zhu Gaoxu feels nervous, his whole body seems to return to the nature of heaven and earth, and he naturally possesses the food|sex instinct that living creatures also have.

But tonight he failed to do so.There is only one meat dish on the table, which is said to be a dish of the local natives, called stewed pork with smoked bamboo shoots.The hard bamboo shoots are processed and dried with grass and wood smoke, and then preserved. When eating, they are soaked in water and then stewed with bacon... The taste is hard to describe, it is very strange, it seems to be a mixture of various odors, and it is completely different from Zhu Gaoxu's taste.

As night fell, Zhu Gaoxu looked at Miaojin's graceful figure and her plump and round streamlines dangling in the light while listening to the crackling of bamboo poles outside, the sound of firecrackers exploding, and the noise of soldiers. go.

A very urgent and evil scene appeared in his mind.There is also the night of New Year's Eve in my memory, in the flash of fireworks, gorgeous pictures like slides appear in front of my eyes from time to time.His breathing was a little rough.
