0027 Follow the army and the people

As the order sounded, Niu Mantun, the boss of the Niu family, finally relaxed. He and his companions set up the mule cart and found a place nearby to sit down. Niu Mantun rubbed his sore legs and thought about it again.

Father and brothers.

That night, Niu Mantun ran away from his father and the others. Fortunately, Niu Mantun was young and strong, and he had learned how to exercise from Niu Bajin, so he had plenty of energy, so he escaped. He still had some

The pancakes and money can last for a few days. But in the past, Mr. Niu arranged everything for him, and now he suddenly needs to make his own decisions, so Niu Mantun is a little confused.

Niu Mantun felt that his father and brothers might not be able to escape. After all, with people in a town searching, the possibility of escaping was really low.

Niu Mantun sat on the roadside thinking about it and cried. After crying for a while, he felt that he could not cry anymore. He remembered his father's words: "You must make a decision quickly! I don't have time for you to procrastinate!"

Niu Mantun sorted out his thoughts. At this moment, his heart was filled with hatred for the chief clerk! But he knew that he could not do anything on his own. He would be caught as soon as he showed up in the county.

So you have to survive before you want to take revenge!

At this moment, Niu Mantun thought about how his father earned money to return to his hometown. So Niu Mantun immediately made up his mind and decided to join the army himself! After he achieved military exploits and became an officer, he might be able to come back for revenge.

Although the Niu family is located in the countryside and there is relatively little information, they still know that there is a war in Liaodong. They just don’t know how it will be fought. But my father said that the Ming Dynasty was just fighting a group of barbarians, and they will definitely win! So

Niu Mantun made a decisive decision to join the army in Liaodong.

Having made up his mind, Niu Mantun began to trek towards Liaodong. Fortunately, it was already the end of the Ming Dynasty and the system had collapsed. There were not many people checking the road, otherwise Niu Mantun might be captured.

In this way, Niu Mantun stumbled and dodged his way to Liaodong. At this time, Liaodong was preparing for a war. So Niu Mantun became a civilian soldier in the army as he wished!

Now his job is to push carts and carry supplies all day long. There is a lot of work to be done every day. Niu Mantun is in good health and can bear it. But he does not eat well, and there are often moldy grains and rice, and the weight is

Not enough, often not enough to eat.

Now his only pleasure every day is to listen to their leaders tell stories when he is resting. Their leader's surname is Li, and he is a soldier himself, but he was sent to take charge of their group of civilians. So he often runs to the military camp,

The news is quite good.

What Li Tou was talking about today was the swearing-in ceremony in Shenyang. Niu Mantun pricked up his ears to listen to what he said: "That day, Mr. Yang Hao, Mr. Yang, Mr. Wang Keshou, Mr. Wang. Including eight general soldiers, there were also a large group of civil servants.

The generals were all at the martial arts field in Shenyang. At that time, Mr. Yang issued a reward. The reward for capturing and killing the old slave was 10,000 taels! Ten thousand taels! Brothers! Have you guys seen ten taels of silver?

"

Many Minzhuang people immediately slapped them with flattery: "Of course I've never seen it before...!"

"How can Li Tou know so much?"

"But to be honest, I have never seen ten taels of silver in my life!"

These Minzhuang people are right. In their eyes, a bunch of copper coins is already a huge sum of money! Many people have never seen what silver looks like in their lives! Because they basically use copper coins.

When we usually live at home, we mostly use bartering.

"After Mr. Yang finished speaking, the unfortunate guy named Bai was dragged up."

"Li Tou, who is named Bai?" asked a Minzhuang.

"Of course it's Bai Yunlong, the commander of Fushun Pass! This bitch, he ran away when the fight started! Don't you think he's not looking for death? Why is he running? Where can he run? How can the Ming Dynasty be as big as him?

Where is he hiding? Aren’t you going to be captured now? How pitiful, he was beheaded on the martial arts field and sacrificed to the flag!"

There was an uproar among the people. Hearing everyone's uproar, Li Tou was even more energetic! He stared and foamed at the mouth, and said: "You didn't know it later, right? Something big happened!"

You must know that such a big thing as going on an expedition is to sacrifice to heaven! At that time, someone brought a cow and planned to cut off the head of the cow to sacrifice to heaven. The person who killed the cow went up to the cow's neck with a knife to kill the cow, but his damn knife fell.

It was so rusty that it didn't look like it, even after several cuts, it couldn't be killed! That's what made Mr. Yang's expression so wonderful! Later, a general who was very close took his own knife and handed it over, and then he chopped the cow to death!"

Since ancient times, sacrifice has been a very important thing! "Zuo Zhuan" says: The most important thing of the country is to sacrifice to the Rong! It is not a good sign to kill the cow when sacrificing to the sky! Everyone is talking about it.

Niu Mantun also felt that this did not seem to be a good sign. Even the cow could not be killed when offering sacrifices to heaven. Doesn’t it mean that God does not want to accept this sacrifice? Could there be problems in this war? While Niu Mantun was thinking wildly, Li Tou

He opened his mouth again and said: "It's not bad luck, but there are even worse things! At that time, our partial general, General Liu, saw that he couldn't kill the cow and his morale was low, so he wanted to boost the morale of the army! He was riding a horse to lift the gun.

Let’s go on stage to perform martial arts! As a result, the stick broke after just a few swings! The stick flew far away! This made General Liu lose all face!”

Listening to what Li Tou said, Niu Mantun came to his senses. This didn't seem to be a matter of God! It was a matter of weapon creation and storage. So Niu Mantun interrupted and said, "Li Tou, these weapons are like this.

, is this battle easy to fight?"

Li Tou glanced at Niu Mantun and said, "What's not easy to fight? How many people can those Jurchen barbarians have? Only twenty or thirty thousand people. How many of us are there? 150,000 people! Each one of them would drown them with his spit!"

"

All the people praised Li Tou for his broad knowledge and wanted to hear something new. In addition, they also had the same idea as Li Tou. After all, there was a huge difference in the number of people between the two sides! And at this time, everyone felt a sense of honor for a great country.

Still, no one thinks they will lose.

But Niu Mantun, who was sitting aside, was beating a drum in his heart. He had heard his father say more than once. When he was fighting, the officers above said that weapons are the second life of a soldier! You can't take care of them too much!

If you don't take good care of your weapons, you will not only eat the military stick, but also lose your head in severe cases!
