Chapter 217: Those who kill Ashan are the Four Tigers!
Chen Zheng was looking at the stars and lights in the Qing army's camp at the bottom of the mountain. Unexpectedly, a gust of mountain wind blew by, and he was trembling.
At this time, the Chinese cavalry led General Zhao Ruliang to the turret and said softly: "General, the Liao people are bringing Fang Sihu."
Although Chen Zheng was fascinated by the lights at the bottom of the mountain, he heard the footsteps of only one person coming up just now, so he asked casually: "Where is the person?"
"Back to the general, Fang Sihu is waiting under the corner tower."
Chen Zheng turned back to look at Zhao Ruliang and said with a smile: "It's very good. Before he officially entered the camp, he killed the Tatar Gushan Ezhen. This kid can do it. I will decide on him in the Dushi Camp."
Zhao Ruliang smiled a little embarrassedly and said: "General, we can see that this Fang Sihu is not bad. He is tall and has a wide butt. He is very good material for a cavalry. Why don't you keep him for us."
Chen Zheng took a step forward, raised his hand and slapped him on the shoulder, feigning anger and saying: "When I see someone good, I want to recruit him into your cavalry team. Zhao Ruliang, you are really greedy."
Zhao Ruliang scratched his scalp and said with a smile: "We...we are not thinking about helping the general expand the Chinese army."
He then added: "General, we see that these Liao soldiers are all strong and fight bravely. They are really damn good. What if I suggest you recruit them all into our camp?"
Chen Zheng's eyes flashed when he heard this, but he disappeared immediately. He did not say anything more about the matter. Instead, he patted Zhao Ruliang's shoulder again and said, "Come on, follow me to meet that Fang Sihu for a while. I want to take a look."
, who can single-handedly kill the Tatars in front of the battle, Fang Sihu, what kind of person is he?"
Under the corner tower, a group of armored Xuanfu army spearmen stood guard around, while Liu Jingzhu, the governor of Dushiying Town, Dakang, the chariot commander, Qian Zongtian Mingyu on the left, Qian Zong Zhou Ping on the right, and Qian Zong in the middle
Song Shanquan, Du Chungang, the commander-in-chief of Qian on the left side of the carriage, and others are also here.
In the open space behind everyone, there was a cart converted from a baggage cart parked. On the cart was a corpse. It was the body of Zhen Ashan, the Tatar's Zhenghuangqi Gushan Eshan.
Behind the cart were twenty strong men from the Liao people. The first one looked extraordinarily tall. He was almost a full head taller than the people around him. Standing there, he stood out from the crowd.
After Chen Zheng got off the corner tower, he shouted loudly and asked: "Who is Fang Sihu? Please stand up for me."
After Fang Sihu heard this, he walked forward with his chest raised and his head raised. He didn't stop until he was two steps away from Chen Zheng, and then he stopped and loudly announced: "The villain Fang Sihu."
Chen Zheng stared at the big man in front of him, and saw that he was actually a head taller than him, and his waist seemed to be twice as big as his own. He widened his eyes and looked carefully.
He saw in front of him a man who was a head taller than himself. He had a dark face, broad shoulders and a round waist. Just like the Chinese Army Commander Zhao Ruliang said, he had a very big butt.
Chen Zheng looked at the big man and said in a deep voice: "You were the one who killed the Tatar Zhenghuang Banner Gushan Ezhen Ashan?"
Fang Sihu looked at Chen Zheng: "General Chen, I killed this Tatar, and I just want the armor on him. If General Chen also likes this armor, I won't want it."
He immediately changed the topic and said: "However, I really admire the armor he is wearing, how brilliant it is!"
Chen Zheng smiled, looked at Fang Sihu and said: "It's just armor. If you join our Xuanfu army, why don't you need your armor?"
When he asked this question, Fang Sihu was stunned. He asked, "Can you take care of the food? Do you want me to take care of my family?"
This time it was Chen Zheng's turn to be stunned, but after a moment, he thought clearly. He loudly said to everyone: "Of course everyone in our Xuanfu army is well fed, so why is this so difficult?"
He continued: "As for your family members, my commander-in-chief once said: Your parents are my parents, and your sisters and brothers are also like my sisters and brothers."
Chen Zheng paused for a moment before continuing: "However, our Xuanfu army only retains warriors who dare to fight, and does not raise any idlers."
He fixed his gaze firmly on Fang Sihu and asked in a deep voice: "Are you willing to join my Xuanfu army?"
When Fang Sihu heard this, he was stunned. At this time, someone behind him suddenly kicked him. Under this strong push, Fang Sihu took a step forward and fell down in front of Chen Zheng. He said in a daze: "
As long as I have enough food, I will repay you with death!"
At the same time, the nineteen strong men from Liao behind Fang Sihu also knelt down and worshiped: "Please rest assured, General Chen, we who voluntarily join the camp will obey the military orders, fight to the death, and never flinch."
.”
In fact, Chen Zheng had long wanted to recruit a large number of Liao people. He even wanted to turn the 1,500 soldiers he had recruited directly into soldiers in his own camp.
However, Zhang Cheng had extremely strict control over the Xuanfu army. According to the rules, each battalion did not have the right to recruit troops. The losses in each battle were replenished by Zhang Cheng's central army from the new bravery trained by Wu Zhizhong.
It had never happened before that Chen Zheng had independently recruited new warriors during wartime.
Therefore, he hesitated at this time. He had violated military regulations by recruiting new warriors. Although it was necessary to prepare for the war, it was definitely not allowed by military regulations.
But after this battle, Chen Zheng also found that the Liao people were indeed worthy. Not only were they physically strong, but they were also full of generational hatred for the Tatars. No one would flinch in the face of battle.
That's why he dared to directly make the decision for Zhang Cheng, only to hear Chen Zheng shout loudly and ask: "I'm just asking you once, are you willing to join my Xuanfu army and be controlled by my military rules and regulations?"
"willing……"
"Yes...general..."
"General... I am willing... I am willing..."
Behind the cart carrying Ashan's body, twenty strong men from Liaodong followed Fang Sihu, kneeling and worshiping Chen Zheng. Even in the distant mountains, their roars echoed everywhere.
Chen Zheng looked at them and asked softly to the governor Liu Jingzhu beside him: "Liu Zhenfu, how do you think we should handle this?"
"The people of Liao are so enthusiastic, how can we go against the will of the people?"
Liu Jingzhu asked questions at first, and then continued: "In my opinion, General Chen should first put people's support first and order the scribes to register him. When the fighting here stops, he will return to Xuanyuan with his family members."
Mansion."
As he spoke, he looked at Chen Zheng again, and after a moment, he continued: "However, each battalion of our Xuanfu Army has a fixed number of personnel. Without the commander's order, it is naturally difficult for us to expand the battalion.
However, today is for our Xuan Mansion to win over the people and gather excellent young warriors, not to expand the ranks of our Dushi Camp.
What does General Chen think?"
When Chen Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. After all, a scholar has to go through a lot of twists and turns!
With just a few words, he allayed his worries, and then he shouted: "You will go back and tell the brothers of the Liao people on the mountain that I, the Xuanfu, will take in anyone with an innocent family background."
Chen Zheng thought for a moment and then continued to shout: "Everyone who goes out to fight today is already a soldier of our Xuanfu. You will tell me when you go back so that all the Liao people in the mountain will know."
When the twenty Liao citizens heard this, they were all excited.
The reason why they were selected to protect Ashan's corpse and meet with Chen Zheng, the leader of Dushi Camp, in person was because they were actually responsible for interceding for many Liao people.
At this moment, seeing in Chen Zheng's words, he already revealed his intention to take everyone to Xuan Mansion to live in peace, how could he give Chen Zheng a chance to go back on his word?
In fact, these Liao people are themselves military households in Liaodong. If they want to join the army, they have a lot of opportunities, but they often have families to take care of, and they are aware of the deduction of food and pay from ordinary sergeants in the Liaodong armies.
If you join the army, you will not be able to support your family with the military pay and food that is exploited at all levels, so you will rely on selling your energy to support your loved ones instead of joining the army.
But the Xuanfu Army is different. Through their contacts in the past few months, they have seen with their own eyes that the Xuanfu Army has ample food and pay, and has never exploited anyone.
Moreover, the rewards promised before the war were always fulfilled as soon as possible.
With such an army, there was no good place in Ming Dynasty even with a lantern. They had actually been yearning for it for a long time, but they just didn't have the chance to say anything.
Now, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Four Tigers of the Liao people to kill Ah Shan with one shot, they tentatively expressed their wishes. After receiving a clear answer from Chen Zheng, there was no doubt.
I saw a middle-aged man in his forties walking out of the Liao team. When he came up, he knelt down and said, "Cheng Zhijin, a small citizen from the Liao, pays homage to General Chen."
After Chen Zheng accepted the ceremony, he heard Cheng Zhijin continue: "General Chen, we and all of us admire the power of the Xuanfu Army. When we saw it today, it was true.
Now I am on Changling Mountain. In addition to the new army that was previously organized into a unit, there are still nearly a thousand strong men. They also want to join the Xuanfu army, make contributions to Marshal Zhang, and fight to the death.
Unknown, does General Chen dare to make the decision?"
Looking at the old man, Chen Zheng also said loudly: "This mountain range cannot be defended by our Xuanfu army alone."
He glanced at the twenty Liaodong men, especially Fang Sihu, and continued: ""
