Chapter 100 The Man of Destiny
For a while, the Xingtian Army camp in Ruyang County became lively. Under the orders of the officers, the soldiers packed up one after another, withdrew their tents, and put them on the carts of the big luggage teams of each battalion. Everyone checked their own armor and their bags, and quickly began to gather in the camp.
After the day was completely dark, a team of soldiers and horses began to leave the camp with the help of the moonlight in the night sky. The people and horses of the three battalions stationed in the Ruyang Camp began to step out of the camp quietly without shocking the local people at all, and quickly disappeared. Go to the road in the direction of Yichuan.
In fact, the eight battle barracks of the Xingtian Army are not all in Ruyang County. There are only four battle barracks and one new battalion stationed in Ruyang County. The rest of the battle barracks are distributed in Song County and Yichuan County to reduce the pressure of many soldiers and horses on Ruyang County for grain. At the same time, they are also responsible for guarding the pressure of these two counties. The force was willing to submit, so it acted quickly. After the generals whose headquarters were not in Ruyang County were ordered, they immediately ran straight to the station of their own troops and horses.
Therefore, when Xiao Tianjian left Ruyang County, he only led the three battalions and some of the soldiers and horses of the militia battalions surrendered by Li Shuanzhu, accompanied by a guard company of less than 300 under the command of Tietou, with a force of only about 4,000 people.
And only two battalions and heavy battalions secretly set out that night. According to Xiao Tianjian's instructions, these soldiers did not raise torches or make a loud noise. They made a whole team in the battalion in advance. With an order, a team of officers drove out of the camp with the officers and quietly left Ruyang University without shocking the people around them. Camp, drive towards the reservation place.
Xiao Tianjian left Ruyang the next morning with only the remaining battalion. Although there were only more than a thousand soldiers and horses, after more than a thousand people lined up in a column, when they stepped out of the camp, they still looked much more powerful than other armies, and the drums of the marching drums in the team also beat. It became more and more rhythmic. All the soldiers stepped on the drums, which made the array of Xing Tianjun in the march appear high morale. In addition, the soldiers of the Xing Tianjun sang loudly after leaving the camp at the beginning of the officers. Xiao Tianjian taught the man under his command to be self-reliant at this time, although he did not There is a military song officially designated as the Xingtian Army, but now it has been widely sung by the people of the Xingtian Army, and it has basically become the military song of the Xing Tianjun.
The effect of thousands of people singing a song is obvious. The strong song rolled by and resounded through the whole earth, and even went straight to the air. Even the people who were working in the field far away also straightened up and couldn't help straightening their waist poles, looking at the steel pouring on the road. The iron-like army couldn't help but be awe-inspiring, and some people rushed to the roadside and shouted for Xing Tianjun.
Xiao Tianjian rode on the horse and pointed to the people who spontaneously came to see Xing Tianjun off by the road with a horse whip. He smiled at Niu Jinxing, who followed him and said, "Sir, please see, these ordinary people are sincere support for us. Originally, we were all ministers of the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately the Ming Dynasty did not Take us as his ministers, so that they force the people of the world to rise up one after another. If it hadn't been for the rebellion of the government and the court, how could there be no slaves and tars who wantonly commit crimes? With the strength of our Han Dynasty, who in the world can compete with me?
Niu Jinxing nodded and said, "Water can carry a boat and overturn it!" Those who win the hearts of the people win the world! The general's behavior now is exactly what won the hearts of the people. How can the hearts of the people not return to the general? In the long run, I'm afraid it's not impossible for the general to win the world!"
Xiao Tianjian shook his head and said, "Do you want to win the world? Ha ha! To be honest, what's good about being an emperor? If you are a faint king, you will be scolded, and you will not be able to turn over for ten thousand years. However, if you want to be a wise king, you will have to deal with all kinds of government affairs all day long. You don't dare to relax a little. If you are tired and die, if you are a little careless, you will be scolded by loyal ministers, hehe! In my eyes, being an emperor is not a good job!"
Niu Jinxing smiled after hearing this. Xiao Tianjian said something very lightly, but he said what he thought. To some extent, it also showed that Xiao Tianjian's mentality was not the kind of person with great power. It would be relatively easier to do things under such people, but he did not believe that Xiao Tianjian didn't want to dominate the world. He went to the dragon chair and asked with a smile, "So since the general doesn't want to win the world, why is he so diligent in military affairs every day? He only sleeps for a while every day and is so diligent?"
Xiao Tianjian looked at a team of soldiers who strode past him. His expression became serious, and his eyes turned to the far north. He sighed slightly and said, "Good question, sir! Because I know what's going to happen in the future! Because our Han nation is about to fall into deep trouble, but the people in the world are still ignorant. The court has always despised the construction of slaves, and has been stubbornly restraining the internal expeditions, forcing the people of the world to make a living, but do not practice internal affairs. Today, the emperor is also a stubborn person. He is unsympathetic to ministers, which makes the dynasty The Chinese party and government can't solve any practical problems. Most of the officials only know how to get promoted and make a fortune, and don't consider the sufferings of the people at all. Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is already full of holes and seems to be very powerful. In fact, the foundation has already been hollowed out by these moths and will be overthrown at any time!
Look at what kind of life we ordinary people live. As the people of the Ming Dynasty, no one is comforted by the disaster. On the contrary, it is an intensified exploitation. People always have to find a way to live. Even if it is just for so many brothers who follow me, I will work with the present court to the end and return the world without hesitation. A peaceful day for the people!
In addition, talking about the descendants of wild boar skin outside the customs, they have already seen the weakness of today's Ming Dynasty. One by one, they covet the land of our Han people, so arrogantly knocking in again and again, killing and plundering us Han people wantonly. They can't wait to step into the Central Plains and make it so big. The world is in their hands, but the king and minister of the Ming Dynasty still turned a blind eye! If one day these barbarians are allowed to enter the Central Plains, it will be an unprecedented catastrophe for us Chinese people, and it may sink our Chinese nation from now on. Therefore, since the current court can't shoulder such a responsibility, I, Xiao, as a member of the Han people, should stand up and take this burden!
Hehe! It's far away! It's far away! Don't ask me why I know, but I just know! In a word, since God chose me and threw me into this era, I will not give up. In the end, I will fight. Even if it is a failure, I have no regrets about coming to this world!"
Niu Jinxing sat on the horse. Listening to Xiao Tianjian's impassioned words, his heart was also tossed. He did underestimate Xiao Tianjian a little before. Originally, he thought that although Xiao Tianjian had the ability to train soldiers, he was still a mud-legged and ambitious. He didn't go anywhere. Under his command, he had to find a way to help him achieve a career and win a future for his future. However, after listening to Xiao Tianjian's words today, he found that Xiao Tianjian's ambition was actually much higher than he thought, and he didn't need him to tell him what he would have in the future. Pursuit, he has already had a universe in his heart. He may even have more than an ambition to win the world, but may even be bigger. As for where he is big, he can't even see Niu Jinxing clearly now.
Looking at the tall and magnificent back of Xiao Tianjian, who was walking towards the team, Niu Jinxing suddenly became more curious about him. Niu Jinxing thought he was very knowledgeable, but in Xiao Tian's fitness, he could not see through his ideas. Xiao Tianjian sometimes seemed to be shrouded in a fog. It was for him to look at him through a thick layer of fog, so that the more he wanted to see his mind clearly, the more he couldn't see.
Especially after listening to Xiao Tianjian's words, he had a strange feeling that Xiao Tianjian should not have appeared in this era. He seemed to know better than anyone what was going to happen in the Central Plains in the future. There was a heavy burden on his shoulder, which made him have to Work hard to carry this burden and trek forward. What on earth does he want? This is really a curious question! What did he come from and why did he know what would happen in the future? And are you so sure that the Jiannu and the serfs will become the biggest enemy of the Han people?
"That's all! That's all! I really can't see through it! This general is indeed extraordinary, so let me follow him and have a good look at what he is going to do! Maybe he is really a man of destiny!" Niu Jinxing couldn't figure it out and couldn't see through it, so he simply didn't think about it. After shaking his head, he said to himself, and then picked up the rein and urged the sitting war horse to chase Xiao Tianjian, who had surpassed him and rushed to the front of the team.
