Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

kM "Your Majesty, I have fulfilled my mission... wuwu..."

In rags, looking like a beggar, and having lost a lot of weight, Wang Qian, the right-hand director of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, knelt on the ground and howled loudly. His miserable and sad appearance made everyone cry when he heard it, and everyone who saw it was sad.

He was ordered to go to Guangxi to recruit 5,000 new soldiers. I really don’t know how to describe the hardships along the way. When he arrived in Guangxi, which was like a poor and ravine, he was numb from the hard work. If it weren’t for the belief that he wanted to climb up, he was supported by it. , he probably fell down early.

Guangxi is so poor. Tianzhou, the birthplace of the Wolf Soldiers, is even poorer. It’s so poor that I don’t even know how to describe it. Because of this, the folk customs there are simple and tough. Without the officers and soldiers from the various states, Escort, he didn't know how many times he would be robbed and how many times he would die?

Money can make all the difference. Wang Qian, who was carrying a lot of money, dangled a lot of banknotes. With the help of local officials, he quickly recruited five thousand young men. After three days of preparation, he led the five thousand young men. Zhuang began to embark on the long journey back to the imperial capital.

When I went to Guangxi, I only took a few followers with me and a hundred Jinyi guards to protect me. It was relatively simple. But when I came back, I brought five thousand young and strong Guangxi boys with me. The journey was like marching to war, with camping, food and accommodation arranged. , warning and so on are really difficult for him.

Fortunately, he had the sacred mandate, and the journey was smooth. Officials from various places warmly entertained him, provided food and water, and some even sent troops to escort him, which saved him a lot of trouble.

The biggest headache for Wang Qian is that most Guangxi people cannot understand Mandarin and can only speak their local Zhuang dialect. Many words and orders need to be translated and conveyed by Guangxi people who understand Mandarin.

Fortunately, Wang Qianji had a clear mind and appointed these translators to serve as temporary captains and lead the team, so that all kinds of chaos were not caused and a lot of trouble was avoided.

The most worrying thing is that some young men fell ill due to acclimatization. Wang Qian was worried that he would not be able to pay the job when he returned. He would rather pay for it himself, but also invited the best doctor to prescribe the best medicine and bought hundreds of carriages. On the oxcart, the sick were allowed to lie down and have a good rest, and the broth and fish soup were cooked for them to replenish their health.

The journey was long, and the advantages of Guangxi people's hard work were also highlighted. No one complained about hardship and tiredness. They supported each other along the way, talked and laughed during the march, and appeared to be very united and obedient, which saved Wang Qian a lot of trouble.

After nearly a month of marching and sleeping in the open air, Wang Qian finally entered the territory of the imperial capital. Wang Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief. Not one of the five thousand young and strong Guangxi boys was missing. They were all alive and kicking. He could successfully deliver his mission to the emperor.

When he was only half a day away from the imperial capital, Wang Qian chose to camp near the river, allowing the boys to take a long bath in the river, rest for a day, and then set off on the road after regaining their strength.

But he himself didn't take a shower. On the contrary, he made himself dirty, like a beggar. Everyone knows the reason.

"Pingsheng, Wang Qian, you have worked hard. Go back and have a good rest. I will reward you again later." Zhu Youjian pointed his right hand in vain and said with a smile.

He knew that Wang Qian had caused himself such misery and was somewhat suspected of acting. However, he did not point it out. As a great hero, he could be tolerant and patient even if he was willful.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I'll take my leave." Seeing Wang Chengen's beckoning look, Wang Qian understood in his heart and quickly bowed and left.

"Go to the military camp." Zhu Youjian said. The five thousand Guangxi wolf soldiers finally arrived, and he couldn't wait any longer. Besides, he was also a Guangxi boy in the original time and space, and he also wanted to see the five thousand old Guangxi soldiers in this time and space.

The barracks housing the Guangxi Wolf Soldiers and the Sichuan Army were the first to be built. Nearby are the barracks of the First Royal Regiment and the Royal Guards Battalion. They have been vacant. As soon as the five thousand Guangxi Wolf Soldiers arrived, they were immediately arranged to move in.

The chief eunuch responsible for arranging the new army had experience in arranging the First Royal Regiment and the Royal Guards Battalion. He was now much more proficient in arranging the five thousand Guangxi Wolf Soldiers, and the progress was much faster.

The recruits lined up to receive personal items such as uniforms, uniforms and shoes. After entering the arranged barracks to place their personal belongings, they then queued up to take a comfortable warm bath in the large bathhouse, put on their new and handsome new military uniforms, and under the command of the captains of each team Get off, line up to enter the big dining hall, and line up to get food with a big bowl in hand.

The rice is steaming hot rice. In addition to various vegetables with plenty of oil and water, there are also several large chunks of fragrant fat meat that will make people drool.

In the original time and space, people were worried about the three high gods and generally did not eat fat meat. However, in the Ming Dynasty in this time and space, materials are scarce. The poor people do not have enough to eat and do not wear warm clothes. They are all sallow and thin, malnourished, and suffer from severe night blindness. To them, greasy meat is the most delicious food in the world.

The five thousand recruits swallowed their saliva and grinned with big mouths. Eunuch Wang Qian really did not lie to them. Being the emperor's personal soldiers, the treatment is really good, even if you die in battle, it is worth it.
