After the Chinese New Year, after more than half a month of preparation, the day for the army to set off quietly came. Because of his previous experience of going to Juzhou-Ningling-Guide in the north, Wu'anying, which was chosen by Zhou Shixian as the vanguard of the army, took action first.

In the military camp, the soldiers were packing their luggage in an orderly manner. After more than half a year of training, they had practical experience with the Green Camp Army. The morale of the soldiers of the Wu'an Camp was very high, and the Qing army was no longer so terrifying in their eyes.

This is also the reason why Zhou Shixian wanted them to be the vanguard of the army. This is not just because of his trust in Zhang Hong. Xue Laoer's Tianwei Central Military Camp must be in the middle, and the rest of the troops have not experienced the whole army's mobilization and actual combat.

The soldiers of Wu'an camp have a lot of equipment, not to mention fully armed from head to toe, each of them has a main weapon, an auxiliary weapon, and a supplementary weapon. Among them, the auxiliary weapons are mainly Qi swords and short-handed axes. The supplementary weapons are military daggers. If the skills are correct when fighting with each other, they can play unexpected roles and even pierce armor.

In addition, tents, quilts, heavy armor, etc., all of which need to be transported by civilians and mules and horses. The soldiers' physical strength needs to be preserved during the march and will be used until the war is fought.

Zhuang Lidong checked his luggage and after confirming that it was correct, he immediately urged his soldiers to speed up:

"Hurry up, after a while, the Military and Justice Department will send people to check the equipment and ammunition one by one, order the personnel, report to Shangguan, and start after lunch. Don't be too slow for me one by one. If anyone is late in the end, he will be deducted from his monthly salary, don't come to me to plead with me."

The soldiers in the house shouted "Yes" together, and then continued to lower their heads to sort out their belongings. The strict and clear military discipline in the army has become a part of their subconscious mind.

After seeing Zhuang Lidong walking out, Chen Yu turned his head and looked at Zhang Dong and said, "Zhang Dong, help me see if I have all my things?"

When Chen Yu drove north to attack Juzhou last time, he fell into a coconut scoop (a container for water) because his equipment was not checked properly, and he was beaten with thirty military sticks and was deducted two cents of monthly salary. This time he did not dare to be careless again. It was not enough to check twice by himself. After thinking about it, he asked Zhang Dong to help him see it, but Zhang Dong was very slow and had not done his own things yet.

"Don't harm me, you guys, look at it again, I can't finish the check in a while." Zhang Dongtou didn't raise his head, and continued to nervously organize his luggage and count his equipment.

Chen Yu looked at the other party's anxious look and sighed in his heart. His brother was indeed a little stupid, and it seemed that he could not count on him now.

However, Zhang Dong usually trains well and has great martial arts. Last time in the battle in Guide City, he killed four green camp soldiers by himself and fought with the captain of the flag to kill a Tartar. Even the old man on the left and right could not tell the difference, but he still had to follow the other party when he went to the battlefield.

Chen Yu was still a soldier. His main weapon was an iron-tip shoulder pole, which was made of the best Su Gang at both ends. The sharp part could even break through the iron armor. The auxiliary weapon was a Qi sword weighing ten taels a pound and three feet and two inches long, which was extremely sharp, and a dagger was inserted around his waist.

On his head is an iron helmet with a neck guard and a chain mail on his body. When he goes to battle, he also has to wear a cotton armor inside. Two helmets are standard for battle unless he is wearing thick scale armor.

He counted one by one until he had enough equipment in the end, and then he felt relieved. When the military trumpet was sounded, he went out with Zhang Dong to gather together.

Huang Fa heard the sound of the military trumpets preparing to assemble, turned his head and looked at the wife beside him. Two other women were holding their mother's thighs and looking at his child with bulging eyes. He wanted to say something, but he seemed unable to say it. He had never known how to speak.

Last time they went to Juzhou-Guide in the north, one of their neighbors died in battle, and the other had broken legs and had a yellow haired wife very worried, especially when they heard that they were going to fight the real Tartars this time, and they had nightmares for several nights. They had heard about the power of the Tartars before, and they felt more and more uneasy.

Fortunately, the pensions of the two soldiers were soon dropped. The family members of the soldiers who died were given fifty taels of silver. The court would raise his children until he was sixteen years old and would not take them back.

The one with a broken leg received twenty taels of silver pension, and the land at home was also cultivated by recruited refugees, and also had a job in managing the treasury.

When the soldiers in the army saw this, they felt at ease and knew that even if they died in battle, they had to defeat the enemy. Otherwise, the wives and children in the rear would not only not receive pensions, but could also be killed by the Tartars, which further strengthened their determination to fight to the death.

"Okay, stop crying. This time, I will be like that Lengzi, killing a few of his Tartar heads. One of the real barbarian heads will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver."

Huangfa's eyes were full of firmness, "When I will be promoted, our family will move out and build three large brick and tile houses."

"You dead ghost, as soon as you fight, you run away and hide behind." The yellow-haired wife said with a rosy look on her eyes and she choked up.

"If my arms and legs are broken, I can still farm and raise you, but if my life is gone, my child will have no father and will be bullied..."

"What do you know? If you run away, the Tartars don't kill me, the military soldiers will kill me first. Then let alone the pensions, all the houses you live in and the land you get will have to be taken back. Stinky lady, don't talk nonsense here."

Huang Fa was already nervous because he wanted to fight the Tartars. Now he was even more upset when he saw his wife crying and saying such stupid words. Is he even more cowardly?

Soon, the second assembly call rang, and Huang Hai didn't care about so much, so he quickly put on his helmet and walked out. The two children watched with eager eyes as the tall back of the fully armed man in front of him slowly became smaller and blurred.

After the previous experience and punishment of the army gathering together, this time, more than 2,000 people in the battalion made any mistakes. After lunch, the officers of each department immediately began to emphasize marching discipline and go to the destination according to the convention...

Just after noon, the army immediately set off. Nine armies, 25,000 soldiers, and more than 21,000 civilians and more than 10,000 mules and horses were recruited, all of which set out one after another according to the planned route. The official road was mixed with people and horses, and it stretched for several miles.
