The soldiers of the royal family did not know that the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had reached Zunhua and were fighting to the death with the defenders of Zunhua, but the news they heard was that the defense of the Zunhua garrison was impermeable and rock-solid, and the most optimistic conclusion was that in the absence of foreign aid, Zunhua could hold on for more than a year, and the most pessimistic conclusion was at least half a year.
In other words, everyone will be safe and sound for at least half a year.
And at this time, the army of King Qin from all over the country also rushed to Zunhua, and the enemy outside Zunhua was encircled, so that these recruits could take a rich salary in the Beijing Division, eat exquisite food, and live a peaceful life, although the training was hard, but everyone thought that it was a matter of one or two months, how could it always be so tossed to toss people like this, according to the situation of the army in the ancient Ming Dynasty, the elite soldiers may not be able to be trained, and it is absolutely possible to abolish the training of people.
But as he spoke, how did this Zunhua fall away, and how did this capital become the front line?
But there is also good news, that is, in order to encourage everyone to go to the city to participate in the war, the emperor specially allocated cash as a pre-war reward and encouragement, and each person was given two taels of silver.
This time it was a real two taels of silver, and Cao Huachun's father-in-law stared at it, and no one dared to intercept the deduction.
Zhu Dayou held the two taels of silver, his excited adrenal glands secreted vigorously, and shouted loudly to the ten old and young men under him who looked panicked: "Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, this is the time when the country is in danger, loyal to the emperor, protect the family and defend the country, this sentence is not true, home is our home, the country is also our home, this is a great opportunity for our Zhu family descendants to show our loyalty, old and young masters, for our old Zhu family 300 years of the world, we fight to the death." ” Encouraged by him, those soldiers who were still hesitant and panicked also secreted a large amount of adrenal hormones, and their faces turned pale one by one, but they nervously waved the weapons in their hands and shouted loudly: "For our Zhu family's 300 years of the world, we will fight to the death." ” As soon as a dozen of them chanted, the slogan was immediately transmitted to the other squads on the left and right, and those squads immediately chanted together, so the entire school field let out bursts of such chanting, and the original panic was thrown out of the clouds, replaced by a kind of tragedy and determination.
Cao Huachun really didn't expect that these royal children would have such blood, especially the man who was the first to shout the slogan, full of appreciation, so he ordered the little eunuch next to him to call this man in front of him.
Zhu Dayou saw Cao Huachun, the supreme commander of the Beijing camp, for the first time, but as the royal family's contempt for the eunuchs, let him meet him proudly, eunuchs, they are all the slaves of our royal family at any time, what is there to be afraid of Cao Huachun didn't know his thoughts, but his performance of not being humble or arrogant made Cao Huachun even more happy, and after looking up and down, he announced loudly in front of the tens of thousands of troops that Zhu Dayou would be rewarded with ten taels of silver on the spot.
Such rewards and promotions have once again boosted the morale of the army, and they are all ready to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions to make a fortune.
Zhu Dayou, who was promoted to the general general, was arranged on the You'an Gate, this city gate is facing Zunhua in the distance, if the Manchu Eight Banners come over, the first impact must be this city gate, so on this city wall, all kinds of garrison equipment are readily available, looking at those piled up, called on the name or not named equipment, which makes these recruits have some bottom in their hearts.
However, Zhu Dayou frowned and worried, because looking left and right, this city wall was too huge and too long, and the team he led stood on this city wall, ten steps away to spread out a person, such a guard defense line is almost a huge fishing net, full of loopholes and holes.
But worry is worry, because there is nothing to be done, this is still the result of abandoning the west and northwest city walls, Beijing is too big, dozens of miles around, and there are too few Beijing camps, and there are only 30,000 of them, of which 10,000 are waste.
There is another thing that also makes the responsible Zhu Dayou feel bad, that is, these brothers who have been rewarded always touch their hands in their arms, and their expressions are very restless, thinking about it, the battle is about to begin, with silver in their arms, who doesn't want to be placed in front of the station Don't say that others, it's yourself, these twelve taels of silver are still in your arms, this is a year's expenses of an inferior family, and now Zhu Dayou is thinking about how to find an opportunity to go to the bank in the city and remit this silver back to his hometown, so that the family that has not heard from him for a long time can get food and clothing, and compare their hearts with their hearts, everyone is the same.
Just when he was worried, on the road of the city wall, a group of soldiers surrounded a prominent figure walked up, that was not Cao Huachun who he had just seen or who Zhu Dayou hurriedly stepped forward to see.
Cao Huachun had a good impression of this Zhu Dayou, waved his hand and asked him to get up and follow him to inspect the city defense, Zhu Dayou carefully followed him, looking for an opportunity to talk, Zhu Dayou raised his worries while walking, Cao Huachun sighed softly, and complained to him in a low voice: "What can be done about this, there was originally a Beijing camp known as 200,000, after years of reduction and allocation, plus rectification, in the end, it was 60,000, and the result was that the elite of the Beijing camp was lost 50,000 in Liaodong by that nerd at once, Now that I have just recruited you, I also feel that it is difficult to do it, but the family and the country are like this, and it can only be like this, and our family is now looking forward to the court taking measures as soon as possible to be able to resist the enemy outside the country, so that everyone's life will be better.
Then he looked at this man who cared about state affairs, "Your agitation on the field is very much to improve the morale of the soldiers, now do you have any other way to boost morale" Looking at Zhu Dayou, who was smirking, Cao Huachun also knew that it was a little difficult for him, and finally couldn't help but sigh: "Even if you can stabilize the morale of the army." ” Zhu Dayou thought for a moment with sincere trepidation and replied: "Back to my father-in-law, just now the emperor and father-in-law rewarded the soldiers of the whole army with two taels of silver each, but the silver was already in hand, but I found that some people began to be restless. ” Cao Huachun paused, and then asked solemnly: "Why are you restless?"
Zhu Dayou replied: "After those who have no home and no mouth get the silver, they want to go to the flower street and willow lane to have a dashing time, and those who have a family and a mouth, they are worried about sending the silver home to support their families, so these people always think about how to leave their posts quietly, if it weren't for strict military discipline, most of them would have been gone now." ” t1706231537:
