Chapter 75: New Year's Eve in AD 1639

In 1639, the New Year's Eve of the 12th year of Chongzhen, it was finally here.

On this day, Qingshan New Military Fort has been put into use.

Now in the Qingshan New Military Fort.

There are so many people.

First of all, He Xuan, the deputy thousand-household, is the highest official.

Next, there are Zhang Heizi, a hundred households, who are the deputy.

Next is He Maming's general flag.

Then, the veterans who were following He Xuan were all raised to small flags. The court later transferred twenty small flags and two hundred veterans.

There are now 240 and 50 soldiers in the entire Qingshan New Army Fort.

The total population is about eight or nine hundred.

On New Year's Eve, every family is decorated with lanterns and big red lanterns are hung one by one.

Those who kill chickens kill chickens, and those who kill ducks kill ducks.

"We are Qingshandun, no, the life of Qingshan Military Fort is really good." Shi Wei's wife slaughtered the chicken: "In previous years, during the Chinese New Year, it would be good to be able to cut one or two meat. However, He Qianhu did not deduct any food and salary. He usually provided the canteen to let us eat cheap food so that we could save money. During the Chinese New Year, it would be fine to cut a few kilograms of meat."

"Also, during the Chinese New Year, everyone gave birth to a chicken or a duck. He Qianhu was really a reincarnation of a good man of ten generations."

"Yes, He Qianhu people are so good. Apart from the bad habit of catching people and eating dark banquets." Zhang, who was cutting the duck, nodded and said, "She was Zuo Ming's wife.

"My man has worked as a soldier in several places. No matter where the military leader in each place, he drinks blood from his soldiers. Only this Qingshan Military Fortress, He Qianhu doesn't drink any blood from his soldiers, but instead gives us his own money to join the army." Gui said with emotion. She was the wife of one of the 200 veterans transferred to Qingshan Military Fortress, and she is very eloquent. She now sincerely admires He Qianhu.

"We will only get better and better with He Qianhu."

"Yes, life will get better and better." The women around the circle were filled with wings of their eyes as they spoke.

For those of the bottom class, they just want to live a better life.

However, in this chaotic era, such humble wishes are difficult to realize, and only in Qingshan Military Fort can life be much better.

Women were killing chickens, ducks, and cooking meat. The whole city was waving with the aroma of meat, celebrating this rare and rich New Year.

And what about the men?

Then they gathered together, those who drank, and those who played cards played.

For example, Zhang Heizi, He Maming, and Zhang Fan, who like to play cards all gathered in a circle, but they played very small. There were originally some gambling monsters in Qingshan Military Fort, such as Zhang Heizi, a typical gambling monster. However, He Touer issued an order and played cards, but the winning or losing could not exceed 100 cents. If it exceeds it, he would prepare to get out of Qingshan Military Fort. He Touer's order is still quite effective in Qingshan Military Fort.

Some people gathered together to drink wine, which was better than Hu Xuan, Shi Wei, Zuo Ming, and Zuo Jian.

"Boss, I'll give you a cup." Shi Wei stood up: "When I've been following the boss, my life is getting better and better every day. Thank you, my boss."

After hearing Shi Wei say this, Zuo Ming, Zuo Jian and others also stood up in unison: "Let's have a cup of wine."

"Actually, I didn't do anything." He Xuan raised the wine glass in his hand: "I'm also to everyone. Although we have killed hundreds of Tartars, the number of Tartars has more than 100,000 military power. I'm afraid they will increase their invasion in the next year, and then the brothers will fight to the death again."

"After joining the army, you will have the determination to move on this road, and there is nothing to say." Zuo Ming said, "Be respectful."

"Share you, my boss."

"Respect everyone and the end of the twelve year of Chongzhen."

After drinking with these people, it was already late at night.

He Xuan walked on the flat road of Qingshan New Army Fort with his sword on his back and stepped on the night.

Outside, it was dark night.

Today is New Year's Eve, there are no moons, no stars, and it is very dark.

He Xuan took a deep breath of cold air. It had been more than half a year since he arrived in this era, and before he knew it, he had completely integrated into this era.

The first day of the Lunar New Year tomorrow is 1640 AD, which is the thirteenth year of Chongzhen.

In history, the demise of the Ming Dynasty was only last four years.

...

After the Chinese New Year, He Xuan gave a few days off to let the soldiers under his command relax.

After the first month of the year, He Xuan called Zhang Heizi: "Zhang Heizi, there are about 250 soldiers in our Qingshan Military Fort."

"Yes, the more than 40 soldiers we used to recruit were originally considered new recruits. But after one Niulu attacked us back then, we were not considered new recruits. Now we can also be considered veterans. In addition, after you become a thousand households, the 200 veterans sent by the court were only 250. But it was not me that the veterans sent by the court had a lot of soldiers, and they were not as good as the more than 40 new recruits we recruited ourselves." Zhang Heizi complained.

"Are you a soldier? I'm not afraid. I decided to train these soldiers well." He Xuan said.

Zhang Heizi suddenly became a little stunned. What does this mean? Isn’t training soldiers a task? Could it be that he did too poorly and his boss was not satisfied with his job?

Lao Tie, it hurts!

"Don't worry, it's not that there is a problem with your work, but I feel that your training soldiers are a little weak. Otherwise, you can see how strong I train soldiers are." He Xuan smiled: "I feel that there will be a large-scale invasion in the Qing Dynasty this year, which will train them stronger, and then you can shed less blood during wartime."

Of course, this is just one of the reasons.

The second reason is that He Xuan wants to get some negative emotional values ​​from these people so that he can enhance his attributes.

Last time, after destroying the Fan family, their attribute value reached 4.75. When they destroyed the Wang family, they also suffered a lot. However, they did not get the person named Wang Dengyu, the head of the Wang family, and did not meet the person named Zhu Changxun, who had a name for history. They earned less negative emotions, and made a total of 2,000 yuan, which pushed their attribute value to 4.95.

After these things and the New Year, I realized that I had 200 newly recruits from the court who had not exploited negative emotions, so of course I could not let it go.

Zhang Heizi still feels heartbroken now, feeling that his labor is denied, but since He Tauer has spoken, he can only do so.

"Okay, then call these people to the gate of Qingshan New Army Fortress immediately."
