I have to say that Zhou Shixiang, a soldier in later generations, was still very modest. He knew his shortcomings. So in order to successfully bring these tens of thousands of elderly, weak women and children to Xiangshan and to the special zone in later generations to settle down, Zhou Shixiang put down the posture of the commander of the first battalion, and humbly Duke Xiang of Song and a Xiaoqi learned from Li Zicheng's experience in peasant army mobile combat.

This little flag is an old brother from Daqiao Mountain. He is the same name as He Jin, the general who wanted to kill the ten eunuchs in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. At the same time, the two have a common profession, that is, they are both butchers. Of course, the profession of butchers was a high-ranking profession in the Eastern Han Dynasty. They could not be done by powerful people. Nowadays, butchers are a low-key career. Except for being more oily, they are generally not favored by gentry, and have no social status.

He Jin was from Henan like Duke Xiang of Song, but one was from Nanyang, and the other was from Luoyang. In the 15th year of Chongzhen, when Duke Xiang of Song joined the rebel army with his reputation as a scholar, He Jin had been working in the rebel army for more than a year. He was forced to join the rebel army when Li Zicheng led a large army to besiege Luoyang in the 13th year of Chongzhen. The reason why he was forced to join the rebel army was related to his identity as a butcher. After all, as a butcher, no matter how poor his family was, he was always a little bit of oil in his stomach. If he couldn't starve to death, he would naturally not want to follow the "bandits" to kill officials and rebel. However, Li Zicheng's army marched to Luoyang Prefecture, and the army was surrounded by force, and he could not help but not enter the camp.

He Jin did not go to Beijing with Li Zicheng, but in the 16th year of Chongzhen, he followed Bai Wang, the general of the rebel army, to Huxiang. After the Qing army entered the pass, Li Zicheng died in Hubei after losing out of Beijing, while Bai Wang, who runs Huxiang, was killed by the rebel general Wang Tizhong. After Bai Wang's death, his troops Dashun Army either surrendered to the Qing Dynasty with Wang Tizhong and others, or collapsed and collapsed on their own, or surrendered to another Li Guo tribe of the Dashun Army in the west.

He Jin did not surrender to the Qing Dynasty, nor did he go to find Li Guo's troops, but changed his name to He De to flee to Fujian. In the second year of Longwu, he was confused and captured by Zheng Zhilong's army, and then became a prisoner of Li Chengdong's army, and then entered Guangdong. Later, Li Chengdong returned to Ming Dynasty anyway, and he turned into the Ming army. Then Li Chengdong was defeated. After several twists and turns, the then general of the Dashun Army, He Butcher, became a bandit in Daqiao Mountain, and now a small flag official in Taiping Camp.

In terms of ability, He Jin is not bad; in terms of courage, He Jin will not let anyone go. Logically, with the qualifications of the Dashun Army General Office, he could be the chief rank of a team of flags, but he did not have the ten chief ranks appointed by Zhou Shixiang because He Jin is old.

He Jin, who was born in the 32nd year of Wanli, is 53 years old this year. This age is not old in later generations, but in this era, he is really an old man, ten years older than Duke Xiang of Song. When he was elected as the chief banner official, it was not that no one recommended He Jin, but He Jin himself refused to be the chief banner official. In his opinion, it was not important whether he was an old man, whether he was a high or a high or a small official. What was important was whether he could still burn paper for his parents' graves when he was alive.

"Brother Zhou, do you think our Ming Dynasty will be saved? Can we still go back to our hometown in this life?"

He Jin would say this every time he saw Zhou Shixiang. Although he was more than two years older than Zhou Shixiang, he still called this young man who looked like his son as his brother. Recently, others have changed Zhou Shixiang to Qianhu, but he still did not change the title of Zhou Brothers.

Duke Xiang of Song also mentioned He Jin several times. Every time he talked about He Jin's wish, Song had a faint sadness on his face, and his eyes were even more lonely. He saved himself and others. Zhou Shixiang knew that Duke Xiang of Song wanted to go home like He Jin.

Who doesn't want to go home?

Zhou Shixiang thought of his home and the empty tomb outside Xinhui City, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

After Song Xiang voted for the rebel army, he had been in charge of the Zhongshu's documents, responsible for the income and expenditure of money, grain and official documents. He didn't know much about the specific combat process of the rebel army. He Jin was the chief squad leader who led the troops directly at the bottom. Although he had only a dozen people under his command, he knew how the rebel army fought and how it moved forward. According to him, the rebel army was mostly divided into several battalions, the old camp was in the middle, and the cavalry guarded the side. Every time he went to a place, he first placed the old camp, and then spread the combat camp for dozens or even hundreds of miles. Once there was a policeman, the cavalry immediately attacked and covered, and the old camp moved to a safe place. If there was no war, the soldiers of each battalion could take turns to return to the old camp and live for a few days with his wife, children, and young children. During the war, even if his wife, children, and young children were behind him, these men could not turn back and say something to them.

Based on his memory, Duke Xiang of Song roughly explained the settlement method of the old camp of the rebel army. It was similar to the old camp in Taiping Camp, and the management of the rebel army was generally similar to that of the old camp. The old camp of the rebel army also had layers of management and control from top to bottom. The camp and marching had a strict organizational system, ranging from a carriage to a livestock.

However, Duke Xiang of Song and He Jin both said one thing, that is, once the war is unfavorable, the rebel army will generally abandon the old camp and only lead the elite veterans to break through. This incident reminded Zhou Shixiang of one thing that later generations saw in history books, that is, after Li Zicheng fled to Shangluo Mountain, general Liu Zongmin and others would support Li Zicheng to make a comeback even if they killed their wife and children. Combined with the two, Zhou Shi reduced guilt and uneasiness compared to his decision to give up the rear camp when he had no choice.

Combined with the methods of the rebel army and the organization and management methods of later generations, Zhou Shixiang and Song Xianggong initially formulated regulations and measures for the transfer of the rear camp and response measures in emergencies.

Summer is coming, and tens of thousands of people are moving in thousands of miles, and illness is inevitable. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties and strengthen the rescue power of Taiping Camp, Duke Xiang of Song pulled out several doctors from Luo Ding to the nursing department named by Zhou Shixiang, and asked all the veteran generals of each battalion who knew medical skills to come over. Even the midwife who only knew how to deliver the baby for women was stuffed into the nursing department.

After the establishment of the Nursing Department, Zhou Shiying personally taught the first 50 students two days of classes. The content taught was not medical skills, but first aid, such as cardiac resuscitation and first aid, how to stop bleeding quickly, etc. In addition, he also focused on teaching the knowledge that health and epidemic prevention should be taught.

Duke Xiang of Song didn't know where Zhou Shixiang learned these knowledge. Although it sounded different from the medical skills used by doctors nowadays, it had some truth. For example, the method of boiling white cloth with hot water and then drying and wrapping the wound is very useful.

Zhou Shixiang learned only a limited amount of knowledge. After teaching these people the medical knowledge he learned in the military, he could only hope that these doctors who were not as good as those of later barefoot doctors, and the midwife could understand the essence of these medical skills by herself.

The money, grain and supplies in the public treasury have begun to be loaded. At the same time, the battalions were ordered to reveal to the battalion that the Qing army was about to launch a large-scale attack on Luo Ding. When the battalion panic, another officer came to appease them, saying that the Qing army came to attack many troops this time, but we are not afraid. The Qianhu people have already had a complete plan to deal with them, and we just need to obey the orders.

At the same time, the training of the recruits in the front battalion was like tea. From the first five miles to ten miles long training, it has become twenty miles or even thirty miles long training. Faced with the complaints and complaints of the soldiers, the general flag led the team always told them that this was a marching exercise. If you want to win a battle, the premise is that you have to run faster than the Tartars.

Can you win a battle if you run fast?
