Chapter 61

The author has something to say: the writing is a bit short.The recent three articles fired at the same time is a bit confusing

In the 57th year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Yangzhou was ordered to select 2000 members of the light navy to support the Tibetan team.

Officials such as Yang Cong, the magistrate of Yangzhou, and Wei Hutou, the chief minister of Menqian, were responsible for the selection of generals of the light navy.After a comparison test and a comprehensive evaluation of the sergeants, the decision is as follows: Wei Shaocheng of the Seventh Battalion of Yangzhou Cavalry was appointed as the Chief Admiral of the Light Navy, Chen Min of the Third Battalion of Yangzhou Cavalry was appointed as Deputy Lieutenant Zuozhi; He was appointed as Deputy Wei Zuozhi.In addition, 2000 people from the Yangzhou military camp were appointed as the light navy. Three days later, the army was reorganized and headed upstream from the Yangtze River to Tibet.

(Yin Zixun's status in the Seventh Cavalry Battalion is temporary)

Lin family dyeing workshop.

Tianci woke up from an afternoon nap and passed by the yard.He lowered his head and found that the food brought by the servant at noon was still on the ground untouched, and the people in the yard were still practicing martial arts with punches and kicks, so he couldn't help frowning.

"Zixun!" Tianci shouted.

The man slowed down and stopped moving.

"You haven't eaten since last night, how can you keep going like this?" Tianci scolded, but the man over there didn't seem to mind at all, and continued to practice hard.

"I can't eat, I want to prepare more..."

Tianci shook his head.Since the order from the barracks came down yesterday, this man has been practicing boxing day and night.Although he said that he was preparing for the battlefield, he could tell that he didn't want to go to the battlefield.Perhaps, it was because of Ding Ziqi who cared about him so much.

It is also doomed to say.Wei Hutou seemed to be convinced of Yin Zixun's skill, and let him pass all the horseback riding and archery in the selection of generals, but let him play in the final sparring match.

Very intentionally, it can be seen that his accidental defeat by Shao Sheng's sword was actually done on purpose.At that time, he should hope to lose because of this, so he doesn't have to play, right?Unexpectedly, the result was to appoint him as the lieutenant general.

"Why are you doing this? Zixun, since you can't change it, try to accept it." Tianci approached him and pressed down his fist with one hand: "Yin Zixun! No one said We will lose this battle and come back, and no one said you will never come back!"

Yin Zixun—Zi Can stopped his moves, but just stood there without saying a word.

Tianci looked at her closely, looking at her eyebrows similar to Zican, the more heartbroken she was!

"Brother Yi..."

Godsend.

"Let me alone..."

Zican involuntarily pulled away her hand, and broke away from him with all her strength.Seeing Tianci standing still, Zican didn't pay any more attention to it, and still punched the wooden post behind him one after another.

How do you understand, I promised that person, I promised her that I wouldn't get myself involved!

Zican swung her fist hard on the wooden post, and a splinter splintered out of her fist followed her into the flesh and blood of her fist.For a moment, blood flowed out from the wound.But he still didn't care, after a few punches, the hand was already covered with crimson blood, sawdust scattered everywhere, and blood spattered everywhere.

Why, why was it chosen!

Seeing that Zican was still in a frenzy, Tianci rushed forward and dragged the person back.

"Zi Xun! Don't do this! Don't do this!"

Zi Can was stunned when she heard the shout.Because this majestic man is now grabbing himself fiercely, crying in front of his face while shedding tears.

"Brother Yi..." Zi Can was also frightened by this appearance.

"No matter what, you won't die, you can definitely come back!" Tianci looked at the person in front of him sincerely with tears in his eyes.I don't know why, whether it's the appearance similar to Zican, or the skill and temperament similar to Zican, in my heart, I hope Zican is well, just like wishing Zican well!

I just hope that everything about that person is fine.

Wei Fu.

Although Duke Wei is old, he was both happy and sad when he learned that his grandson will go to battle soon.

When Wei Xiaobao was young, he had tried a lot of such things as expeditions.That was really a narrow escape, and no one can tell what will happen where the sword has no eyes.However, since Wei Shaosheng has been appointed as the admiral of the light navy today, as his grandfather, he must support him.After all, he was working for the emperor.

Give your life to the emperor who has been a good brother for many years.

That night, the Wei Mansion held a banquet for the four generals who were about to set off.At the banquet, many officers and men from the military camp as well as officials and wealthy officials from Yangzhou City were invited.

Zican sat at the chief seat because of his status as the vice-admiral of the light navy and He Xianyin's nephew. While drinking and talking, he kept looking at Ding Ziqi who was sitting quietly on the other side, feeling depressed.

Since Zi Qi heard the news, she hadn't had a good night's sleep for a few days, and she was extremely haggard.As a mother, Shuangshuang has been by her daughter's side for the past few days, without saying a word.

At this moment, although Zi Qi felt Zi Can's gaze, she didn't respond.

Zi Can was a little disappointed, so she just drank alone.

"Zixun, I offer you a toast."

Zi Can raised her head when she heard the sound, but it was Wei Hutou who had personally chosen herself as the lieutenant general.

"Uncle..." Zi Can responded with a salute, and also took the glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp.

"Haha, it really is Hao Erlang." Hu Tou nodded appreciatively, and had a very good impression of this young man. "This time I chose you as the vice-admiral of the light navy, do you know why?"

Zi Can hastily cupped her hands: "The younger generation doesn't know why uncle is flattering you."

Hutou put down his wine glass, patted her and signaled her to sit down and talk.He looked at the cheering people around him, and finally looked at his son. "Shao Sheng, after all, I was a little impulsive. I actually didn't want to choose him as the general, but this kid is the most skilled among them all."

Zi Can was silent.

"You are the second person I've ever seen who is so calm." Hutou smiled: "The first one is your uncle's daughter, Ding Zican. That child is amazing, as calm as the sky is falling and not afraid of it. And You are someone who can compare to her. I chose you as the lieutenant general to ensure that the light navy will make the most correct decision and that the Qing Dynasty can wipe out the rebellious party."

"Uncle praises Zixun too much—"

"Zi Xun." Hutou's gaze softened, even tears. "This battle may not be as easy as we imagined, but I hope that you can lead our two thousand soldiers from Yangzhou to victory. You have to remember that you bear the honor and disgrace of the country and the people of Yangzhou. expect."

Zi Can was startled and was speechless for a long time.

Three days later, the army was ready to go.

Yangzhou is close to the shoreline wharf of the Yangtze River. At this time, five large ships and several small boats have been prepared to load more than 2000 people from the light navy and some military supplies.Early this morning, the pier was full of people who came to see him off. The sound of crying and saying goodbye made people feel very sad.

Wei Shaosheng and other four generals, according to the equipment issued by the capital, were all wearing Qing Dynasty armor with white flags, a white armor with steel nails, red edges and black and shiny helmets. It looked so majestic.

"Shaocheng, the court and father value you so much this time, so don't disappoint everyone's expectations." Looking at his immature son, Hutou couldn't help worrying: "As a general, you must consider every move you make." Orders, if there is anything, you have to discuss it with the lieutenants and lieutenants."

Shao Sheng glanced at Zi Can who was standing beside him, and finally nodded: "I will."

Zican stood aside, still watching Ding Ziqi closely.It has been a long time, since the order was issued until today, it has been a few days that I have never paid attention to myself.Qi'er, don't you intend to forgive me?

Zi Qi walked out from behind the crowd and walked up to Wei Shaocheng.

"Brother Shaosheng."

"Ah."

"This time, we must win the battle and return safely." Only in this way can the entire army return safely... Zi Qi lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Shaosheng felt the expectations of the people around him, so he took off his helmet, and his eyes became firmer: "I, Wei Shaocheng, will definitely win the battle and return home triumphantly with the Yangzhou disciples!"

The common people were delighted when they heard this, and cheered up their families one after another.

Seeing her daughter still unable to walk, Xianyin also sighed.After all, being young, I always have no idea about these things.Looking back at Zi Can who seemed to be forgotten, I couldn't help feeling pain in my heart.

"Baby." Xianyin stepped forward, seeing that there was no one else around, so he stopped covering up.

Seeing her father walking over, Zican felt grievances in her heart for a few days, choked up for a long time, and actually wanted to shed tears.Zi Can quickly wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, not wanting to lose face in front of others.

"Hey. Don't cry..." Xian Yin seemed to see her when she was young, the child who was lying in her arms and weeping softly after being strong. "Be careful all the way, winning or losing is not the most important thing, the key is to save your life." After all, the chaos in Tibet was pacified by Emperor Kangxi, so life is still the top priority.

"Your child knows..." Zi Can held the corner of the armor tightly, and lowered her head against the heavy helmet.

Xianyin quickly raised her head: "As a general, you must raise your head." The two looked at each other, and Xianyin took out some things from his clothes again.

"Your mother went to the temple to ask for this amulet, and you should wear it on your body." Xianyin handed over a small cloth bag, remained silent for a while, and then handed over a letter. "This letter was written by your sister. Don't blame her for being ruthless these days. After all, she is only a teenager, and she has not had a good time these days. The same is true for you. You are just a group of young people. What are you doing about national affairs? It shouldn't be thrown aside, but sometimes it doesn't need to be carried around."

Zi Can just nodded and remained silent.

"come back earlier."

Only then did Zican raise her head to look at Xiang Xianyin.I don't know when it started, but today, I found that Xianyin's temples have grown white hair, which is especially eye-catching.

"Father..." Zi Can shouted in a hoarse voice, lifted her hem and knelt down on the ground.

"Children are not filial, and cannot serve their parents around! Hope parents—don't read!"

This kneeling sound went straight into Xianyin's heart.A child who has been raised for more than ten years, but today is going to fight in the battlefield because of this identity.God has mercy, may my son return safely!

"clang--"

The gong sounded, and it was time for the army to set off.

All the generals or soldiers wiped away their tears fiercely at this moment, tidied up their armor and headed back. In that scene, the sun happened to hit everyone on their bodies, it was so dazzling.

Looking at that majestic figure, Zi Qi smiled with tears in her eyes.

The two thousand light navies boarded their own ships in an orderly manner, and the reorganization was completed in less than a quarter of an hour.Commander Wei Shaocheng gave the order, and the boatmen and trackers worked together, and the boat full of hopes and concerns of Yangzhou City slowly moved towards Tibet.

Seeing the familiar smile on the shore, Zi Can gritted her teeth tightly.

Ding Zican, you must return safely.

I promised you, Ding Ziqi!

--------------------------------

The military ship is still proceeding according to plan.

That night, Shao Sheng summoned the lieutenants, lieutenants, and several of his cronies to discuss matters in the room.

On the five-foot-square mahogany table, there is a model map of the mountains and rivers in Tibet.Holding a slender stick in his hand, Shao Sheng carefully analyzed it for everyone, trying to find the key to defeating the enemy as soon as possible.

"The main force of the Junggar army is here," Shao Sheng pointed, and then he pointed back to the Yarlung Zangbo River area: "Here, there is a powerful army of Cewang Allah Butan, named Zhajiarang. Zhajiarang has about five men. Thousands of soldiers are guarding here, strangling the terrain of the Yarlung Zangbo River, and defending the city of Lhasa."

Everyone was silent, looking at the topographic map on the table.

"As soon as we enter Jianxue Mountain, our army will have to leave the voyage and switch to walking on land." Shao Sheng's face was still quite worried: "Our soldiers are all from the south, and the terrain in Tibet is too high. It is inevitable that there will be situations where people do not adapt or are not acclimatized."

Zican paused, this should be the 'altitude sickness' that Dad mentioned, right?

"General, you don't have to worry too much. Speaking of the two thousand light navy soldiers, they are all soldiers with good physique in the battalion. As long as their physical fitness is not bad, there will be no major problems." The person who spoke was Shao Sheng's deputy lieutenant Chen Min, I heard that he is an expert in the third battalion of the cavalry, and he can tell from his performance in this selection.

"Um…"

"Where is the army stationed this time?"

"After the snow mountain, facing Zhajiarang's army across the river, it would be more suitable for water warfare." Shao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it's not a severe winter, otherwise the soldiers would be very cold if they entered the snow mountain. "

Zican looked around at the topographic map and asked, "Is there flat land there?"

Several people looked in the direction she pointed, and saw that it was on the east side of the Snow Mountain, and there was a slightly wider place next to another snow mountain, which was not as deep as the valley.

"Yes." Shao Sheng looked at Zi Can who spoke suddenly, with some doubts.

Zican looked back at the Yarlung Zangbo River area and the mountains towards Tibet.After staring for a long time, he met Shao Sheng's eyes: "If Zhajia ordered five thousand soldiers to retreat to the northwest, should our army pursue or not?"

Shao Sheng was startled.

Tianci and Chen Min also looked at the topographic map: Indeed, if Zhajiarang chose to retreat later, the light navy would have to chase them if they wanted to fight them.But after chasing the past, it is the plateau landform, which is not conducive to the children of the south of the Yangtze River.

"Zixun's words are not unreasonable." Tianci pondered for a while: "I'm afraid we still need to make a choice on this issue. After all, we are not as familiar with the environment as Zhajiarang's army in that place."

"Indeed... I was negligent." Shao Sheng sincerely apologized to Zi Can for his words.

Sure enough, what my father said was not wrong, but I was still too impulsive after all, thinking things too easily.This person... Shao Sheng looked at her calm face again, and thought of Ding Zican.

Is that why Qi'er chose you?
