Whether it is marriage or sworn worship, it was a very solemn matter in ancient times. In addition, there were many rules that differed from place to place, but in the end it was all about making blood alliances, putting incense and kowtowing.
Under the auspices of Qin Liangyu, this wedding ceremony was extremely grand, and even ancestors were sacrificed. The whole Shizhu people came to watch the excitement, and the streets and alleys were all talking about it.
This can be regarded as the biggest and most lively happy event in Shizhu in recent years.
"Keep Fuzhou safe, use this as a basis to harass Chongqing, and buy me half a year for my brother." The bustle was over, and Chang Yu and Ma Wannian were walking by the Long River outside the city in the howling cold wind.
"As you wish, Xian thief is always worried about the gains and losses of Chongqing and has no time for anything else. But what if Xian thief takes the initiative to attack Fuzhou?" Ma Wannian's role changed quickly enough, and he no longer called Chang Yu the governor.
Even though they are brothers, they appear to be close to each other, but their respect is not diminished.
"It's natural that we can't attack Chongqing, but if it's not good to defend Fuzhou, how will I reuse my brother in the future!" Chang Yu said casually, and Ma Wannian took a breath of air and gritted his teeth: "I've spent one hundred and eighty kilograms, throw it away
In Fuzhou".
Chang Yu looked sideways after hearing this, with mixed feelings in his heart: Maybe the situation was so great that he had to surrender to the Qing Dynasty at that time. After all, who would have thought that his father and ancestors tried their best to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but he chose to surrender. (He
The surrender was in the 16th year of Shunzhi. At that time, Nanming was almost destroyed, so the situation was really over.)
"You are the only incense of the Ma family." Chang Yu shook his head lightly: "There is no need for you to die for the country, but you cannot surrender." Then he looked at Ma Wannian again: "Brother, you know that after a loyal martyr, surrender is worse than death.
Humans cannot accept it.”
"My whole family is loyal to my brother. No matter how unfilial I am, I will never surrender. If that day comes, I will die for my country." Ma Wannian looked incredulous and said: "Brother said this. Could it be that he speculated that the traitors would attack Fu?"
state?"
Chang Yu smiled: "If someone slaps you, you might endure it, but what if he keeps hitting you?" Ma Wannian also laughed, and then frowned, his face solemn.
"There is no need to frown. With the great god Grandma here, it doesn't matter if the Xian thieves send troops to attack. At worst, they can retreat to Fengdu or even Shizhu. The Xian thieves will not dare to break into Shizhu even if they are brave enough.
My brother can also take the opportunity to train his troops, hoping to see 3,000 soldiers with white poles during the expedition in half a year and recreate the glory of the past."
Ma Wannian's eyes immediately lit up: "My wish is to regain the power of my late father."
"Brother, you have to work hard." Chang Yu chuckled, not because he looked down upon Ma Wannian, but because Ma Xianglin was so extraordinary among people.
"Yes, one day I will not only be equal to my late father, but also be like my brothers." Ma Wannian was only in his early twenties, a time when he was full of ambitions.
Chang Yu chuckled: "Brother, you are too flattering to your younger brother..." Before Ziqian could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ma Wannian: "It's really not my brother's flattery. My brother's demeanor and resourcefulness are far beyond his brother's. Nothing else."
It is said that the more than a thousand warriors under your command are enough to sweep the world."
Um... Chang Yu didn't know what to say for a moment, so he waved his hands casually and said: "Sweeping through the world, it's not even half as good as the white pole soldiers at their peak. Besides, my brother has never seen them on the battlefield, so don't listen to their boasting."
Ma Wannian smiled and said: "You can tell something by looking at his potential, but you have reminded me, can you take a look at his style?" Without waiting for Chang Yu's refusal, he added, "Grandma should be very interested too."
Qin Liangyu is indeed very interested. Chang Yu's illustrious military exploits are indispensable for his group of brave soldiers and generals. As the commander-in-chief of the Baigan Army, Qin Liangyu's sharp eyesight during his military life is unparalleled. Even if Chang Yu's dozens of personal guards are thrown away, it will not be possible.
She said that she noticed that the soldiers and horses of the Third Battalion of Dongchang Guards were not ordinary soldiers and horses from the first time they met on Shamao Mountain.
These days, the three guards of Dongchang are all in the Baiganbing barracks. There are routine morning exercises in the morning. Qin Liangyu has not seen it with his own eyes, but he has heard that his generals have mentioned it and there is no lack of praise. Today, when he heard from his grandson that Chang Yu was going to have a military exercise, he immediately
I got interested and wanted to see how extraordinary it was.
Among the five battalions of Dongchang, tigers, leopards and wolves are the most brave. However, this time the two battalions of leopards and wolves did not follow. Instead, the battalions of tigers, bears and eagles came. Among them, the two battalions of Ji Jike and Hao Yaoqi were newly formed and their combat power was comparable.
The leopard and wolf are slightly inferior, but they are still the best warriors in a hundred battles.
Although it was just a drill and not an actual battle, Qin Liangyu was shocked by what he saw. As an old commander, few people could match her sharp eyesight. The cavalry of these three battalions were as good as those of Guan Ning's cavalry back then, and even had a slight advantage.
Ma Wannian and all the generals were dumbfounded and swallowed their saliva when the commander was like this.
"When I read "Military Struggle" by Sun Wu, the military sage, he said that the cavalry was the best: it was as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as aggressive as fire, and as motionless as a mountain. I wondered if there really were such cavalry in the world until I met Guan Ning's cavalry in Liaodong.
After fighting with the Tatar cavalry, I realized that I was a frog at the bottom of a well, and I didn't know how big the world was. But today, when I saw the three battalions under Sun'er's command, I suddenly realized that I am still a frog at the bottom of the well, because you have done what they have not yet done: it is as difficult to understand as the clouds, and it moves like thunder."
The generals were so happy that Qin Liangyu praised him so much and grinned. Although Chang Yu was conceited, he also seemed embarrassed after hearing such high praise: "No matter how well the cavalry is trained, it is still not as good as the white-armed soldiers."
"Brother, these words are too self-effacing." Ma Wannian shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking that Chang Yu was speaking politely, but Qin Liangyu said: "Yu'er's words are not self-effacing. If a fight starts in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, his cavalry may not
He can beat our white soldiers."
No one objected to this, even the proud generals under Chang Yu all agreed that the high mountains and dangerous terrain here were not suitable for cavalry combat, and the white pole soldiers were mountain special forces. If they faced off, they would not be sure of victory.
After watching a military exercise, everyone was excited but still a little unsatisfied. Ma Wannian ordered his own soldiers to go into battle to practice. Firstly, he showed his strength and asked his grandmother to check the work. Secondly, he asked Chang Yu to give guidance.
Soldiers have always been the most proficient and brave soldiers and horses under generals. Ma Wannian is the chieftain of Shizhu and the only grandson of Qin Liangyu. His soldiers, which number only a hundred or so, are indeed the most elite of Shizhu. They are skilled in cavalry and shooting.
He can dismount and fight on foot to defeat ten with one, and he performs vigorously on the school field, attracting everyone's applause.
This made Ma Wannian extremely happy. He turned to look at Qin Liangyu but saw that her expression was indifferent. He patted Chang Yu next to him and said, "I heard from Daochang Li that there are dozens of personal guards around Yu'er, and they are all the best soldiers in a hundred battles."
, can you pull it out so that your brother can open his eyes?"
"They don't know how to practice, they only know how to fight." Tu Yuan next to Chang Yu said this before Chang Yu could say anything, but Ma Wannian and others were stunned.
To tell the truth from Tu Yuan, Chang Yu's bodyguards were all the toughest soldiers in a million. There were sometimes hundreds of them at most. After the southern and northern wars, there were only a few dozen of them left. The bodyguards had different teams under their command. Although they also went to the battlefield, they
The main responsibility is to protect the safety of the generals, and they are responsible for daily peripheral security in addition to personal attendants, so they pay attention to both team operations and individual soldiers' abilities.
But one thing is that they have never participated in military exercises.
Team drills are conducted through long-term rehearsals and training, and a complete set of process items are formulated. Without drills, it is impossible to come up with a neat and consistent routine for you.
"A real battle is more exciting. How about we send out ten people from each side to compete?" Ma Wannian is young and aggressive after all, and Chang Yu is not the same. He turned to look at Qin Liangyu and nodded when he saw her smiling.
So he sent an order to Kuang Ren to pick out ten men. Here Ma Wannian also picked ten strong men from his own soldiers.
