Chapter 27 Peach Blossom Spring

Chuzhou Prefecture is adjacent to Jiulong Mountain in Fujian. It was later in the Jiulong Mountain Nature Reserve, but now it is the field survival training ground for the special operation team of the Anyuan Hou Mansion of Ming Army in Zhejiang.

Since he brought the hundred people together, Luo Yongzhong has brought them to Tianzhou for training. He first conducted physical training in the Fucheng City, then the mountainous area not far from Suichang County, and now this primeval forest.

Jiulong Mountain has a complex terrain and deep valleys and steep slopes, which is where the ability to train survival ability in the wild is trained. The people he chose have a certain martial arts foundation and can easily pass the physical training. Luo Yongzhong led the team here. Then he threw them into the old forest as a unit, without dry food, and lived through ten days purely with the cooperation of the team.

There were some injured people. Fortunately, the friendship between the comrades in the Ming army in Zhejiang has always been extremely strong, but there were no ones who were left behind and died in the old forest. Ten days later, most of them came out as scheduled, and the remaining ones who were lost also supported each other and walked out the next day. This is actually very related to Luo Yongzhong's team. Each team has several soldiers from hunters, and it will always be beneficial to form a team to survive.

The first outdoor survival training had just ended. He took them to the county town for two days to rest. Luo Yongzhong brought them back and planned to do it again, but unexpectedly, at this time the messenger from the Marquis' Mansion arrived.

"Captain Luo, the general has an order. The special operations team will stop training and the entire army will go to Yongkang County to stand by."

Is there a mission so soon?

But I have just completed my first outdoor survival training and many training programs have not started yet. What is so urgent?

After receiving the order, Luo Yongzhong's head had not turned around, but he heard the group of players cheering.

"Why are you laughing at? I'm asking you to go and stand by, not to get married!"

He kicked the archer named Gan Cang, who was closest, and anger sounded. This archer was originally a hunter in Chuzhou. Not only was the archery accurate, but his ability to survive in the wild was also very strong. Last time in the wild survival training, when they came back, they were dirty and smelly, they were all covered in oil, as if they were eating better than in the military camp. What's even more annoying is that this guy also came back with a few skins on his back and planned to sell them when he returned to the city...

"A group of heartless silly boys!"

Luo Yongzhong was like this, but it was just their appetite. These team members were difficult to control in each battalion. On the first day of training, Luo Yongzhong beat up several brave men in person, immediately shocking the group of people.

When he was in Dalan Mountain, he was a warrior who was one of the most famous soldiers in the Central Camp. Li Ruixin, who fought with the cavalry in the Ming army in Zhejiang, was incomparable to Mao Mingshan, who was dancing with a pair of swords that could not be blown in the wind and water, but he was also famous in the army. With Chen Wen for three years, after fighting in all the wars, his martial arts and combat experience were no longer the same as before. Even when he was not fighting, he would eat well every day, and his body was as strong as a cow.

After fighting, from the battle behind Simingshan Palace three years ago to the four provincial capitals three months ago, the number of beheadings of his own previous battles was lit, and these thorns immediately lost their temper. The most likely thing in the army to be respected by others was the generals, and Luo Yongzhong was not only brave, but also treated his team members like his elder brother during training, so he could naturally easily convince the public.

"From this to Yongkang, it's not for you group of idiots to go back to Suichang to rest."

Jiulong Mountain is west of Suichang, and the most convenient way to go to Yongkang is to return to Suichang, take a boat along the Oujiang River to Chuzhou Prefecture City, then go north to Jinyun, and take a boat along the Nanxi River to Yongkang. Of course, there is a more convenient way, that is, continue to go west to Jiangshan, Jiangshan Port, Qujiang, Dongyang River, and Yongkang River, and take a boat to the bottom of Yongkang City.

But now it is a military order, with a deadline limit, and there is no chance to detour, and Luo Yongzhong has no intention of making it easier for these novices who have not completed training.

"Go back to the barracks to pack up your things, leave after lunch, no boat rides are allowed, you can only walk the whole journey. You must arrive in Yongkang before dawn the next day. If you can't arrive, get out of the special operations team. I don't want to waste!"

……………………

In feudal society, especially with the current speed of information transmission, a government order document was issued, and the local response speed was much slower than the modern social system, and it was uneven. This is especially true for the boundary line around the area occupied by the Ming army in Zhejiang Province.

Hong Chengchou's blockade order against the Ming army in Zhejiang has been issued, so naturally some places are implemented quickly, and some places are implemented slowly. The fastest ones are Guangxin Prefecture, Hangzhou and Shaoxing. Facing the powerful threat of the Ming army in Zhejiang, you must grasp the life-saving straws tightly; the slowest ones are Huizhou, for no other reason. Hu Maozhen, the general of Huizhou, has already taken office as the admiral of Jingbiaozuo Town, and the army is gathering in Guangxin Prefecture. In the defense zone, except for some temporary auxiliary defense troops in Jiangnan, there are only a few left-behind personnel waiting for the green camp from Henan to deal with. Who has the time to take care of this?

He practiced martial arts when he was young and worked hard. He traveled between Huizhou and Quzhou all year round. He was familiar with the roads. Wang Fu took dry food and embarked on the road to Vietnam.

During the Song Dynasty, Huang Tingjian wrote: There are mountains around Chu. If you look down from the sky, compared to Chuzhou, which is facing the east, south and north, it is a large plain area, Huizhou is actually more worthy of this.

Huizhou merchants traveled all over the world. To the south was Quzhou Prefecture, a thoroughfare of the four provinces, but to reach it, they still had to pass through a large mountainous area, even the closest Kaihua County. Going south was difficult to walk, but it was an extremely important trade route for each other at this time. Huizhou merchants sold local specialties such as Sheyan, Hui ink, bamboo and wood products to Quzhou in the south, and even bought from other places and sold more other goods in Quzhou. In the side of Quzhou, the Longyou Merchants also used these mountain paths to carry tea and other things from Fujian from Songyangban to exchange for goods and money.

When he followed his father and later led his team, Wang Fu knew that the road was not limited to the one he was blocked a few days ago. On weekdays, he was just that the little officer with a jagged slogan was easy to talk to. Since he could no longer walk there, he decided to take a detour and go south to Quzhou. He always had to pass the news here, so that the reputation of the old Wang family could not be damaged.

But what he didn't expect was that the Henan soldier who had switched defense was already slow. When he went around another way, he saw that the cards had already changed from the Central Plains accent.

Some methods, but with one fight against more people, they still face the army. Wang Fu was not at all imaginary by the masters in the martial arts novels, such as the eighteen dragon-subduing palms, and the magic weapons of the gods such as the Haotian Mirror, and the Qing army was destroyed. Without confidence to that extent, Wang Fu still traveled through mountains and rivers in a regular manner.

It was obviously impossible to go south, so Wang Fu could only take a detour. He carefully avoided the Qing army who was not familiar with the terrain. He was almost discovered several times. Until a few days later, the Kaihua area was far from entering. He ate all the dry food on his body first, and his clothes became tattered. In addition, the drizzle yesterday, even though he was not sick, his image became worse than that of a beggar.

As a businessman, he also knew that some things on the mountain could be eaten, and some things could not be eaten. With this knowledge, he could barely survive until today. Fortunately, it was afternoon, and wisps of smoke seemed to rise in the distance. After swallowing, Wang Fu confirmed whether the silver on his body was hidden well. The place where he could only hold some broken silver and copper coins, and walked forward.

"Thank you, my father-in-law."

After walking for half an hour, he hid on the nearby hill and looked for a while, and confirmed that it was just a small village where the people lived, Wang Fu gritted his teeth and walked in. At this moment, drinking this bowl of porridge and pickled vegetables, he felt that it was nothing worse than those inns and restaurants in the city, and it was so fragrant that it was so fragrant that it couldn't stop.

"You guys, you're welcome. Everyone has times when they are in trouble. If you can, please help me."

"This place is so good, just like the Peach Blossom Land described by Tao Yuanming."

From observation outside the village to chatting with the old man after entering the village and seeing nearby places, there were only a dozen families in the village, farming wastelands in the mountains, relying on the grain produced in this area and wild vegetables in the mountains, and living with wild animals. Wang Fu has not seen such a village, but has seen too many of them, all of which are poor people who are forced to have no way to survive by tying taxes. Even men are all hidden households who are not in the household registration booklets. This was the case when the old Zhu family in Beijing was still there. Later, when the Tartars were changed, there were more.

"Young man is still a scholar, he is disrespectful." - Who is Tao Yuanming? Where is the Peach Blossom Land? The old man doesn't know anything, but he can hear that sentence clearly. How can you understand what you write without knowing words?

"I was a young man and I was lucky enough to know a few words. I really didn't dare to take it." After bowing my hand, Wang Fu continued to drink the hot porridge in one go. He was licking the residue in the bowl, but saw the old man taking the bowl over and serving him another bowl.

"Thank you, my father-in-law." He took out some copper coins from his sleeve, but the old man refused to accept it, just wanted to listen to him talk about what was happening outside.

I don’t know that there was a Han Dynasty, no matter whether it was Wei or Jin Dynasties, but the people in the village didn’t know that the nearby Zhejiang was no longer full of the Qing territories. The Lu Jianguo fled to Fujian and was rumored that Chen Wen, the most warlike general in the Siming Mountains in eastern Zhejiang, took over the banner of the Ming army and became stronger and stronger as the battle became stronger. Even Hong Chengchou’s famous ministers who were valued by his wisdom and ruthlessness were unable to wipe it out in one fell swoop, but instead he lost a Shi Tingzhu to enter.

There is another saying that goes - "Chengchou's brilliant plan to help the world, and he will lose his generals and his troops." This is what it means!

The people in this village were basically moved to the village before and after the collapse of Master Jiang. After a few years, men and women wove, and when they were free, they went to the mountains to fetch some wild animals and lived a self-sufficient life. Although the fields in the mountains were barren, there was no land tax, taxes, labor service, miscellaneous collections and levies that crushed people. They were content, but they didn't know anything about the outside world.

But since we can move here, we naturally know the general direction.

"What? Go east and you will reach the boundary of Yanzhou Prefecture?!"

……………………

The dusk was gone and the night was not yet deep. The poor old man was reluctant to light the lights. After hearing the jokes outside just by just this, he found a quilt for Wang Fu and arranged to go to bed.

To the north of the village, on a mountain path that was almost invisible by weeds, a group of Qing troops with a Henan accent stopped here.

"Report to President George W., I found a village ahead, and it seems that there should be a dozen families."

"I'm good, this mountain road is circling around, but fortunately I didn't enter the Ming army's territory." The next second, the officer riding on the horse screamed strangely and shouted to the soldiers accompanying him:
Chapter completed!
