Chapter 1 Trust
On the third day of the third month of the fifth year of Yongli, Shangsi Festival.
"On February 2nd, the dragon raises its head; on March 3rd, the Xuanyuan is born." On the birthday of Emperor Huangdi, the Shangsi Festival in previous years was celebrated. Even in the end of the Ming Dynasty, the people would host it themselves to commemorate the first ancestor of humanities in China. However, at this time, Hiraoka was looking like a scene of evacuation and fleeing, without any atmosphere of celebrating the festival.
Hiraokamoto of Siming Mountain is not a very famous place. Even in later generations, people who mentioned Hiraoka more thought of Hiraoka in Guangdong, rather than Hiraoka in Siming Mountain. It is only in some historical books in later generations that it is known because a person once stationed in this place, and that person is Zhang Huangyan.
After the "****** Battle to Climb the Wall", Zhang Huangyan went to Pinggang, Shangyu County to build a village in Pinggang to restore the village. During the period when Zhang Huangyan established Pinggang, although he had only 300 soldiers and was weak in power, he could farm and farm, and even let the people rest assured. He cooperated with Wang Yi's military operations many times, and did not defend himself because of his weak power. This was consistent with Zhang Huangyan's personality.
In the summer of the fourth year of Yongli, Zhang Huangyan was summoned by the Lu Jianguo to Weizhoushan, so he handed the soldiers under Pinggang and his soldiers to another Ming army general who had established a village in Pinggang, Chen Tianshu. Several months later, Chen Tianshu was ordered to besiege Liu Yiming and Yu Guowang to attack Xinchang, and the place was left to be guarded by Wang Hu, a nearby Ming army general.
However, in this case, the leader of the Taigaoba Village was not Wang Hu, but Chen Tianshu, who participated in the Battle of Siming Lake several months ago.
On October 17, the Battle of Siming Lake, Chen Tianshu led the cavalry and the cavalry team of the Tibiao camp to confront the battlefield. Although the Ming cavalry was not as good as the elite of the Qing army, it was more powerful than the military. With the advantage of the number of people, the Ming cavalry led by Chen Tianshu gradually regained the disadvantage at the beginning of the battle and instead tried to overwhelm the Qing army.
But at that time, the left wing of the Ming army suddenly collapsed, and even reversed the central army at an extremely fast speed. Seeing that things were not done, Chen Tianshu tried to lead the cavalry to rescue Wang Yi, but most of the cavalry he commanded here were not his main personnel. It was easy to turn around, but it was very difficult to kill the Ming army that had already entered a collapsed state.
During the defeat, people's hearts are mostly about survival. If they can escape from far away, they should be the one who can escape as soon as possible. How many people will rescue Wang Yi from Chen Tianshu at such a long distance from the chasing army. They are swept away by a large group of cavalry and are already injured. In addition, the Qing army's cavalry has always been chased, Chen Tianshu is forced to evacuate the battlefield.
However, this time his escape caused his not-so-hard trauma to deteriorate quickly under the influence of heartache, and less than half of his life was left.
"How is the handsome guy?"
At this time, a man in Han costume and a man with a rat tail with money walked in from outside and heard the news to Chen Guobao, who was in charge of common affairs in the meantime.
Although Chen Guobao had the same surname as Chen Tianshu, he was not Chen Tianshu's subordinate. This man was Liu Yiming's relative general, and his father and son. He had originally returned home because he offended the dynasty. Later, at the Battle of Siming Lake, Liu Yiming found him back and led the cavalry of his headquarters to obey Chen Tianshu's orders. At this moment, he was also in charge of common affairs in Chen Tianshu's village because he was forced to escape during the defeat.
Chen Guobao shook his head and then said, "I have been feeling better after hearing the news a few days ago. I have only struggled to maintain these days, and I have been a little repetitive in the past two days." After saying this, he turned to ask, "Have you both found the news?"
Seeing the two people in front of him nodding, Chen Guobao immediately said, "Then I'd better go and report to Chen Shuai. I'm afraid it's too late...ah."
Chen Guobao didn't say the word "oil and dry" and the lamp was dry, but no one could guarantee how long Chen Tianshu could last. He no longer had the idea of getting things clear first. Even if he was disappointed, he could only tell them a few words on the road.
The three of them walked together and went straight to Chen Tianshu's residence behind the Dazhai Village. After sending the servant back, the three of them came to Chen Tianshu's bed and saluted together.
At this moment, Chen Tianshu was lying on the bed weakly, and he always heard the sound of breathing like a bellows. Being so thin, the fierce Siming Mountain general was no longer the original.
"how?"
Seeing the two subordinates sent out to inquire about the news come back together, Chen Tianshu struggled to squeeze out two words from the bellows.
At this time, the man with the rat tail of money came forward and replied: "Report to the Grand Marshal, Bei Zhi had inquired with my wife and brother. The Zuoying of Tibiao was indeed defeated, and very few people escaped back alive. Even Li Rong, the dog thief, was killed. I don't know how many of them were beheaded, and the other Tartars were probably frozen to death and starved to death on the road."
Hearing this, Chen Tianshu coughed twice, and finally breathed evenly with everyone's busy work, but he was anxious but could not say anything.
"Bei Zhi inquired about Xinchang all the way, and the people along the way became more and more evil. All the jokes about the heavenly soldiers and generals descending to earth came out. Even the surviving royal troops were unclear, but they all knew that the Tartars were indeed defeated. It was not until they approached Beizhang Town that Bei Zhi found out that they were not a heavenly soldiers and generals at all. The one who defeated Tibiao Camp was General Chen, commander of Nantang Camp in Dalan Mountain, and there were two great victories!"
Speaking of this, the man couldn't help but danced and told the news he had found vividly to everyone present. Under his infection, Chen Guobao and the other man who went to Yuyao to inquire about the news gradually faded away their worries and became excited. Even Chen Tianshu, who was lying on the bed, looked a little better, and he faded away the disease in the past few months.
"After defeating the Shaoxing Green Camp, General Chen took the prisoners to Xinchang County, interrogated them in public under Xinchang City, interrogated all the scum who did not want their ancestors one by one, and sent them all according to the "Da Ming Law" and all the dog thieves involved in the massacre of the king's army and the people to the city and beheaded."
"good!"
After saying this, Chen Tianshu couldn't help but feel excited, and even his face turned much rosy. However, in the eyes of the other three people, it was probably the time to return.
Chen Tianshu felt much better, so he hurriedly said what he wanted to say. "Wang Jingluo did not read the wrong person. A three-month new camp can defeat the elite green camp of the Tatars. He will surely restore the Ming Dynasty in the future. It's a pity..."
Speaking of this, Chen Tianshu's eyes immediately became sharp, and then he gritted his teeth and asked, "Did you find out which dog thief connected the troops to prevent General Chen from joining the war?"
The two men looked at each other, and the man who went to Xinchang was the first to speak. "I asked about the surviving tribes. Almost none of them participated in the war. They didn't know about this. They just met a fellow villager on the way. He was under the old General Shen's tent. According to him, Wang Sheng, the dog thief, had met General Shen in September."
Then, the man who returned from Yuyao also agreed with this. "I was afraid of being recognized by others, so I didn't dare to enter the city. But I heard that Wang Sheng, the dog thief, followed Tian Xiong back to Yuyao, seemed to be very courteous."
"It's him, this bastard..."
As he said that, Chen Tianshu did not breathe evenly and started coughing again. Everyone quickly patted their backs before slapping out the phlegm that was blocking their throats, but the blood on the phlegm was not dared to let Chen Tianshu see it.
After a few breaths, Chen Tianshu spoke again. "General Chen previously analyzed that the Tartars were seeking the land of Siming Mountain to travel in Zhoushan. If they could not win this time, they would definitely come this year; but if the King's Army lost, they would definitely attack this year. The Tartars suffered such a big loss last year, and even the King's Army in the southwest of Siming Mountain did not dare to send troops to encircle and suppress them. They would definitely come again this year to ensure the safety of the rear."
"Last year, when Wang Jingluo was there, the strength of each division was still in its prime, he dared to fight the Tartars to the death. Now Wang Jingluo was captured, Feng Shilang died, Wang Deputy Xian was missing, and no one contacted the various divisions to send troops. In fact, even if they were still there, with the few remaining powers, they would never dare to make any difference with the Tartars again."
After saying such a long sentence in one breath, Chen Tianshu had to breathe a sigh of relief before continuing: "At the latest August this year, the Tartars will definitely send troops to encircle and suppress the royal divisions of Simingshan again. Our troops suffered losses in the previous battle and were unable to deal with them. The general decided to set off tomorrow and go to Tiantai Mountain to join Xinchang Bo!"
"Master, your body?"
Chen Tianshu just shook his head. There were so many things he said just now, and it was too laborious. After a long time, Chen Tianshu tried to sit up on the bed board with his arms struggling to support him, but it was difficult to move with his physical condition. Finally, he sat up with Chen Guobao's support. However, after sitting up, Chen Tianshu's question also came.
"Do you remember the oath we made in front of the tombs of the villagers when we raised an army in our hometown? Tell me loudly!"
The two men looked at each other, and then said in unison: "I remember to kill all the Tartars, restore their hometowns, and avenge their elders who died in vain!"
"Very good!" At this moment, Chen Tianshu's physical strength was almost exhausted, but he could not lie down before he finished speaking.
"After I die, you two will obey General Chen's orders."
After receiving a positive answer, Chen Tianshu turned to General Chen whom he said: "Brothers of National Treasures, Wang Jingluo is gone, and General Liu is not there, but Deputy Wang Xian is still there, General Chen Wen is still there, and the King's Army of Dalanshan has not been destroyed. Do you remember it?!"
"I will obey the order!"
"I will watch you in the sky!"
After saying this, Chen Tianshu felt relieved and lay down on the bed again, silently closing his eyes with a smile.
"Since I can no longer live to see the day when the king's army recovers the two capitals, then let me see it in heaven. If you are reincarnated, you can't kill all the Tartars before you reincarnate. When you wait for me, I, Chen Tianshu, will still be a hero in 18 years!"
