Chapter 83 So what if I let you rest for a day?

However, these officers and soldiers did not think much, so they had to leave the hard drive, leave their baggage and go to pursue the Red Army. They had to go because that was Fengyang, the central capital, where the ancestral tomb of Lao Zhu's family was, and where the imperial mausoleum was located.

, they knew that once this place was taken over by the thieves in red and the court pursued them, they would not be able to escape either.

Marching like this in a hurry, the red-coated army ran fast with four legs in front, and the officers and soldiers chased desperately with two legs behind. The red-coated army had reached more than half of the 400-mile journey. It took nearly a day, but there was still no reservation.

Under the circumstances, Zhu Gan immediately ordered a rest so that his men could quickly recharge their batteries.

The officers and soldiers actually traveled more than a hundred miles, and the sparse troops spread out over a large area. Seeing the sky darken, they had no choice but to order to cut down trees and set up camp, and quickly went to inform Fengyang City of the current situation.

I just hope Fengyang can hold on!

These Ming army generals who commanded the troops felt a strong uneasiness in their hearts, so they could only send out more spies to monitor the movements of the Red Army at all times.

"I'll keep you for one more day!" Zhu Gan led the horse and drank water by a stream. He also groomed the horse's hair and looked at the dark night. The night was coming earlier and earlier. It was obvious that winter was approaching, and

The goal Zhu Gan set for himself was to spend the winter at his destination. Obviously, time was getting shorter and shorter.

He led the horse and walked back slowly, looking at the silence in the small mountain village in the distance. The red-coated army did not come to disturb their tranquility, but just set up camp in the distance.

The army was rushing all the way, and the villages on both sides of the road were in a state of panic. However, although the red-coated army was ferocious, it was not malicious. Gradually, the people fled back from the mountains. If the red-coated army had not arrived unexpectedly, the people at home would not have been there.

Since the valuables were not taken away, I am afraid that few people would be willing to come into contact with the Red Army.

After all, Jiangnan is rich and has not been affected by drought, and there are so many rural gentry and noble families in Jiangnan. What they say casually has a profound impact. These are the people's hearts. Therefore, Zhu Qian never thought of developing in Jiangnan, and just regarded it as a place.

The hen that only lays golden eggs takes the eggs and runs away.

However, the friendly attitude of the Red Army and the sufficient amount of money made the people in the village very happy. They sold all the grain stored in their homes and some pigs and sheep, and everything was harmonious.

But under this kindliness, Zhu Qian could feel a kind of alienation. In the eyes of these people, the red-coated soldiers were thieves. Although the government was not a good thing, these kind thieves were also not a good thing, but their money was good.

of.

Zhu Gan randomly found a group of people and huddled with them. He didn't pay too much attention to the people and just immersed himself in eating.

In the eyes of the common people in the south, there is only clan. In some stubborn places, the words of the prefect and county magistrate have no effect at all. They are not as effective as the words of the head of the clan. The clan ancestral hall has a clan law, which is above the clear law.

With the power of life and death, court officials dare not interfere, otherwise they will arouse public anger.

You must know that when the seven aunts and eight aunts greet each other, and a certain surname from all over the country comes out, it is public anger. The court will only find a scapegoat to appease the people's anger. In the end, the only unlucky one is the official who wants to take charge.

There is no country in their eyes. In their eyes, the Zhu family is the largest clan in the world. They just pay food to the Zhu family. They never understand what a nation is and what a country is. So in the end, the Qing army went south and killed them.

After that, he became the most obedient citizen.

This was Zhu Gan's first contact with the people in Jiangnan. Thinking of this, he felt an additional layer of worry. It seemed that Jiangnan not only had a huge group of scholar-bureaucrats, but also stubborn clans who wanted to change them.

, must have great ability, could it be like the Qing army, which slaughtered for ten days, killing people all over the place with bloody smell, and heads rolling.

As soon as this idea appeared, he was severely suppressed by Zhu Gan. He was not a ruthless executioner. He could kill his enemies with ruthlessness. In order to grow, he did not hesitate to borrow help from all directions. Although some of the methods were despised, but

After all, there is a bottom line.

Just after dawn on the second day, Zhu Gan got the news. As if taking strong medicine, the officers and soldiers actually started to organize their troops and chased the red-coated army.

"Abnormality must be accompanied by monsters!" After Zhu Gan led the red-coated soldiers out to the camp as usual, he got the news. He sat on the horse sweating profusely and murmured softly, but at this time he was also refreshed and every day

Going out early in the morning has become a habit, it is just an appetizer to refresh the mind.

He turned around and glanced at the majestic red-coated soldiers behind him. These five thousand cavalry were the most elite and powerful swords under his command. If he had to retreat in such an abnormal situation, then he still had to retreat.

How to fight for hegemony in the world? He immediately waved his hand and said: "Go forward, Fengyang City is not far away."

This time the red-coated army moved very slowly, as if they were touring the mountains and rivers, but spies came out in all directions and began to intercept and kill the spies of the army, in order to make the army deaf and blind.

Sure enough, the officers and soldiers also noticed the strangeness of the red-coated army, but Fengyang Mansion has issued a death order to stop the red-coated thieves at all costs, otherwise the nine tribes will be punished for the crime of neglect and bullying. This matter is too relevant.

It was so important that they didn't dare to delay.

Everyone has a sense of oppression in their hearts, and they all guess that maybe the day of decisive battle between the official army and the red army has arrived, and it is today.

After the red-coated army intercepted and killed the fifth wave of spies sent by Fengyang Mansion, the people in Fengyang Mansion could no longer sit still. Some sane people speculated that the red-coated army had already fought with the officers and soldiers who came to rescue them.

, it was precisely because they did not want Fengyang Mansion to send troops to rescue, that they intercepted and killed the spies so that they would not know whether it was true or false.

Huge differences formed in Fengyang City. A few sober people advocated sending troops to attack the officers and soldiers from both sides and defeat the red-clothed thieves. These people were sober-minded and spoke harshly, but not many generals responded.

The other wave of people advocated holding on and recruiting strong people. Obviously they knew what the situation was and had other ulterior thoughts in their hearts.

The officers and soldiers who came to the rescue also had the same guess. They could not have disagreements, did not dare to analyze, and did not dare to neglect at all and speed up their steps. They only hoped that Fengyang could support him for a while if he was prepared.

Several state commanders walked in the front. They had ugly faces. They were not so tired on weekdays. However, after leading the troops for a few days, they found that they had lost several kilograms. Not only did they lose a lot of fat on their cheeks, but they also lost a lot of fat on their cheeks.

The fat belly has also reduced a lot, but instead of looking energetic, her eyes are full of fear and confusion.

Obviously, they knew very well that facing the Red Army, their life and death were unknown, but they could not retreat. If they retreated, they would be killed by the nine tribes. They gradually walked to a dense forest, and on the other side was a cliff more than ten meters high.

, looking at the road less than ten meters in front of them, they didn't think much and walked over in a hurry.

This is not a natural danger. If there is any danger, it can be seen at a glance. It is a pity that they did not see the danger after all.

Temporarily filled earthen bombs exploded from the middle of the ranks of the army. Most of the officers and soldiers were tenants who had just put on military uniforms. Many of them had ancestors in the military, and eventually became the private property of each official.

These officers have a good heart. The tenants have some food surplus at home and are in better health. But when they meet a black-hearted officer, let alone food surplus at home, I am afraid that even having enough food to eat every day is a luxury.

Such a group of people were forcibly beaten with whips and drove for two days. Although they had a rest yesterday, everyone with a little understanding knew that they had never exercised in the past day, and it was most taboo to rest after a sudden strenuous exercise. Secondly,

My whole body must be sore and limp.

At this time, the officers and soldiers were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, with no power to resist.

Zhu Qian was a special forces soldier in his previous life, so he naturally knew that this was caused by a large amount of acid accumulation in the muscles, so he required his subordinates to exercise every day without interruption, even during wartime, in order to prevent such a situation from happening.

"Kill!" It is not suitable to charge out in the dense forest. The cliff on the other side makes the cavalry afraid. However, although the power of those homemade mines is not great, the sound is loud enough, and the shouts of killing can be heard in the dense forest.

, before seeing anyone, they dispersed and ran away towards the way they came.
