Chapter 59
The team separated, led by Zhang Zhi and Xu Jie, leaving behind all the baggage, protecting the prince and the two kings and others to head straight to Tianjin to board the ship.
Princess Changping said that she would stay whatever she wanted and would follow Wang Xuejun if she wanted to do anything.
This moved Wang Xuejun very much.
Zhang Ziyan also stayed. According to Zhang Zhiji, she was familiar with the battle formation and was able to restrain the soldiers of the Beijing camp and help the Regent.
He was right. After four generations of British Duke, the Beijing camp was already the private soldiers of their family.
The nominal commander Wang Xuejun really doesn't necessarily have to command them.
With Zhang Ziyan and their eldest daughter, those arrogant soldiers and powerful generals dare not explode the thorns.
As the chief military advisor, Shandong is also in the hands of the Dashun Army and can also recruit surrender or borrow along the way.
After all, the Shandong Dashun Army did not receive news of Li Zicheng's retreat to the west, and he did not know that their General Quan had betrayed.
Of course, Hong Niangzi also followed Li Yan. The couple had a deep affection and protected her son at any time.
This arrangement was also what Wang Xuejun thought in his heart.
He divided his Tianji Mansion into two parts, including the crown prince as the leader, the commander Zhang Zhi and the commander, Li Yue, and his own treasure. Returning to Weiguo Town of Wuding Prefecture, he could succeed even with the assistance of the Sun family and his son.
And once he has an unexpected accident, he can still raise the banner and command the world.
This is the eggs are placed in two baskets and smashed into pieces, and there is still a piece of pieces.
The prince's departure caused panic among the people following him.
Wang Xuejun boarded the cart and announced loudly to the people who were out of sight of the border: "We have so many people, it is impossible to escape by water. I will lead you to rush to Shandong by land. The prince did not abandon us. They went to Shandong first, summoned the monarch and ministers loyal to the Ming Dynasty to meet us."
When all the people were moved to cry when they heard that the Regent did not abandon him and when the Prince did not abandon him, they were moved and cried.
The new Ming Dynasty won the trust of the first batch of people.
After stabilizing the people's hearts, Wang Xuejun made an arrangement immediately.
The 300,000 people were divided into a team of 1,000 people, and soldiers from the Beijing camp were sent as team leaders, each leading one hundred, responsible for management and public security. It is called Laoying.
Leaded by Zhang Ziyan and Hong Niangzi.
The strong young people among the people and the bandits who followed were pulled out all the people and formed a new militia team. They were combined with their own team and called the Former Army.
In this way, a team of nearly 20,000 people was organized.
This militia team is all young and strong, divided into ten teams, one team of 100 people, and one team of 100 people, and a thousand people are brigades. The Beijing camp will take away elite soldiers and strong generals and be appointed as brigades leader, squadron leader, and brigade leader.
Under the leadership of those veterans, in a blink of an eye, initial combat power was formed.
Facing the future Wu Sangui Guanning and the Manchu Iron Cavalry are not good, but facing the Dashun army or bandits, you will definitely have a battle.
The remaining seven thousand Jing camps were divided into two parts, and three thousand were handed over to Li Yan, led by Zhao Zhenwu, and formed an advance team to open the way for the large group of people.
Four thousand people and their Kunlun slaves formed a cover force for the rear, led by Zhang Xingguo and Li Jinjiang, a former general in charge of the Jingying camp.
The order was ordered to collect all the grain in the hands of the people and to allocate them in a unified manner, and to be managed by Princess Changping, who is good at financial management.
Then Wang Xuejun ordered that the entire army would immediately enter Nanyuan and have a short rest.
Now Wu Sangui and the Qing Dynasty are still in Shanhaiguan, watching Li Zicheng's movements. They will have to wait until ten days before they arrive in Beijing.
Five days off, it's still time.
The size of Nanyuan is equivalent to the area of the two counties at that time.
This is a royal hunting ground, a place for horse raising, and people are forbidden to enter. This is equivalent to leaving a huge isolation area for Wang Xuejun.
Wang Xuejun ordered all doctors to collect medicinal materials and boil medicine soup to cure high fever and fever. Those who are sick and not sick should drink it twice a day.
Then it is to carry out the national health campaign.
The Royal Hot Springs in Nanyuan has a hot water with a faint scent of sulfur, which is a good thing for disinfection.
Wang Xuejun ordered that men, women, young and old should not dare to wear clothes and soak in the hot spring for a long time. In the morning, men and women should soak for enough time to eliminate all fleas and lice on their bodies and kill viruses that may be contaminated on their bodies.
Try to allocate the mules and horses that pull the cart to the garrison teams of hundreds of people, so that the people can take care of the animals, the most important thing is to use the smell of mules and horses to drive away fleas.
Fortunately, Nanyuan is also the place where the royal family gave Beijing a nutritional horse. There are two thousand good horses. When the Dashun Army came, the eunuch who raised horses hid in the depths of the swamp and became the fish that escaped the net of the Dashun bandits.
When the eunuch saw that the Ming Dynasty's men came, he took the initiative to offer them.
Wang Xuejun rewarded them with the treasures he had come out of the palace.
And these eunuchs, because their country was destroyed and their families were destroyed, had nowhere to go, so they turned to serve the princess.
Those eunuchs serve the princess are much better than those clumsy countrymen.
The acquisition of these horses not only increased the number of horses used to drive away fleas in the people's group, but also had a cavalry of 3,000 people in his hands.
This gave Wang Xuejun a little confidence in his heart when facing a strong enemy in the future.
All people with fever will be quarantined.
When the fevered people are taken away from their relatives, the tragic situation of being isolated from heaven and man and crying farewell, Wang Xuejun was determined to carry out the tragic situation.
Then let everyone have two meals a day, and they must eat well and accumulate strength for the upcoming Long March.
If there is not enough food, wild game will be gathered.
The birds and beasts in Nanyuan, the deer, deer, roe, wild deer, were racially exterminated and massacred, and were used to prepare food for this huge team.
Nanyuan is a royal pasture for raising horses and hunting.
Usually, a large number of animals from all over the country were stocked to prepare royal members for hunting and leisure.
This is the largest wildlife reserve near the capital.
Ordinary people usually want to shoot a rabbit here, you have to pay for your life.
Now, 300,000 people cooperate to drive away from all sides, and 20,000 new and old soldiers are responsible for the massacre, truly achieving no need to keep the whole family.
In just three or five days, all the animals that were breathing except humans in Nanyuan were hunted.
Even animals who passed by here or came here from other places to visit relatives were also suffered from the fish pond, and they could not be wronged.
In this way, Wang Xuejun also obtained several real tiger skins, and finally some of them were broken.
Wang Xuejun ordered the meat of the hunted animals to be smoked and fired as much as possible to increase the shelf life.
All the internal organs of the prey, including bones, need to be used to make soup with bones and suck marrow. Anyway, everyone can eat everything they can eat to enhance their physical strength and use their stomach to increase the amount they carry.
Wang Xuejun set an example. In addition to leaving out the best medicinal herbs, tiger bones and rhino horns, Wang Xuejun almost ate the tiger's internal organs.
As a result, when the princess saw Wang Xuejun in the dark, her eyes were shining with faint green light, she exclaimed and ran away, always far away from him.
When Zhang Ziyan saw his situation like this, she directly pressed him to the ground and beat him up, which made him feel only pain and no longer have another thought.
Wang Xuejun wiped the bleeding from his nose and kept pinching his thighs: "I am a gentleman. I want to sit in my arms and stay in a mess. I want to do it. Everything I see is a public servant."
At the same time, all the nanmu, red sandalwood, etc. that were carefully cultivated by the Royal Nanyuan, were cut down to make his English longbows. The longbows made of these woods were hundreds of times stronger than the ash rod and were even more powerful.
Mobilize all the people who can make irons and sled hammers, and create huge arrows day and night, which is the capital to save lives.
Although such rest wasted more than four days of precious time, Wang Xuejun and Li Yan believed it was necessary.
On the fifth day, the patrol report released was when Wu Sangui and the Qing Dynasty coalition forces had already reached Xianghetong County.
