Autumn goes and winter comes, and it is December in a blink of an eye.

On the fifth day of December, Ding Kuichu lazily lay on his soft couch and kicked his shoes into the room.

He picked up a dragon fruit from the coffee table next to the soft couch, and the maid next to him immediately came up to help him peel it. Ding Kui and Chu Zhi proudly took the peeled dragon fruit handed over by the maid and smiled: "Little maid, why are you so sensible today?"

The maid suddenly sobbed and said, "Master, you said you should marry me as a young man. It's been three months since you've forgotten it, have you long forgotten?"

Ding Kuichu suddenly became panicked and said hurriedly: "My heart and soul? I said to marry you, how could I forget it? But these days, your Wu Niang has become more and more disregarded as a shrew. You were originally a maid in her room, but now she doesn't allow me to marry you, and I can't do anything to her."

The maid sobbed and said, "Master, you still love Wu Niang after all. She even agreed to marry me."

Ding Kuichu was speechless and said, "What you said is not what you said, I just don't want to see her playful and irritated. Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. After these days of limelight, I will take you out of the door in a sedan chair and marry you into the room as a bride."

The maid said, "How many days are there, and how many times have you said it?"

Ding Kuichu got up and said flatteringly: "My heart and soul, I swear with my black hat. This time it will be true. I will carry you with a sedan chair in a few days."

After all, the maid was an innocent girl. She actually believed Ding Kuichu and stopped crying after sobbing for a few times.

Ding Kuichu felt relieved, and smiled and touched the girl's hand, saying, "It's still Kui'er who is well-behaved and lovely."

The maid snorted and pulled her arm back.

Ding Kuichu was about to grab the girl's hand again, but he saw his master bent over and touched him in.

The master looked at the girl, then looked at Ding Kuichu.

Ding Kuichu coughed, lazily lay down on the soft couch, and asked weakly: "What's the matter?"

The division bent down to Ding Kuichu and said, "Master, Chu Governor Yuan Jixian wants to defend Huguang, and ask the Ministry of War to mobilize the troops from all over the world to support Wuchang. The Ministry of War's writing has been sent over, so let us help."

"Director Chu wants to defend Huguang, what does it have to do with me, the Guangdong Governor?" Ding Kuichu took a bite of the dragon fruit and said lazily: "Now the thieves are no longer able to survive in Shaanxi, and they will definitely rush to Huguang. The Qing Dynasty is very anxious to pursue the thieves. If you want to defend Huguang, you must first block the thieves' attack, and secondly, stop the covetousness of the Qing Dynasty. Does Yuan Jixian think there are divine soldiers and generals in the Ming Dynasty now? At this moment, you want to defend Huguang?"

The master was stunned and said, "What the master means is that you should not guard Huguang?"

Ding Kuichu swallowed a mouthful of dragon fruit and said with a smile: "I didn't say that. I just said that it was Yuan Jixian's business to guard Huguang now, so why did he expose this matter to my Guangdong area?"

The master pondered and said, "But the Ministry of War's writing..."

Ding Kuichu said angrily: "Deploy troops! Deploy troops! I agree to drive troops to reinforce Wuchang." He looked back at the maid Kui'er, and saw the maid standing there holding her hands, smiled, and said: "It's just that this army is not easy to transfer. At this time, the troops are transferred to Huguang, wouldn't it be someone to die? Which army can block the elite thieves? And that army can defend Huguang under the Tatars?"

The master looked at Kui'er behind Ding Kuichu, bent down and said, "Master, have you forgotten?"

Ding Kuichu was stunned and asked, "What have you forgotten?"

The master whispered: "In August, you were forced by the emperor's imperial edict to record the Qianhu official in Xiangshan County. You said in the back hall that Qin Zhao didn't take you seriously, and he would definitely be unable to take it."

Ding Kuichu said: "How could I forget it? Why?"

The master said, "Master, isn't this an opportunity? I'll transfer Qin Zhao north to die."

Ding Kuichu put down the dragon fruit in his hand in surprise and said embarrassedly: "Yuan Jixian turned to the Ministry of War to ask for help, so let's send a defensive officer to the guards?"

The master said, "Isn't this a dangerous mission? No one wants to go? Yuan Jixian also knows it. Let's first send a defensive officer to help, then prepare for personnel, and then transfer the army to follow."

Ding Kuichu was stunned.

After thinking for a while, Ding Kuichu smiled and said, "His servants have only been recruiting for four months, and they may be dispersed when they go to the battlefield."

The master sneered and said, "I heard that he was raising a thousand servants by relying on his identity as a thousand households. How much money did he give to these thousand soldiers a month? Do you have a tael of silver? Can you fight?"

Ding Kuichu fell on the soft couch, thought for a while, and said, "It's not impossible to say so."

The master said, "If Qin Zhao doesn't go, we will punish him for being disregarded by the court and being afraid of his resignation. If Qin Zhao goes, I guarantee that he, a new recruit of soldiers from the defensive officer, will scatter on the battlefield. At that time, I will punish him for being dereliction of duty and spending military pay at will."

Ding Kuichu smiled and said, "If you don't say it, I've forgotten this person."

He grabbed the dragon fruit and took a bite. Ding Kuichu smiled and said, "Then transfer Qin Zhao to Wuchang to defend Huguang, and listen to Chu Governor Yuan Jixian's restraint." His smile became happier and happier. Ding Kuichu added narrowly: "Let him choose elite troops to move, and he must not lose his reputation as a Guangdong soldier."

...

"Shield array!"

On the school martial arts field below Chiyun Peak, hundreds of soldiers were practicing. One of the soldiers of one company was practicing array combat. The company commander shouted loudly and issued an order on the left end of the company.

The ethics regulations of serving the regiment: whenever the company commander fights, he will lead by example and issue orders at the left end of the queue. If the company commander wins against the former, he will be dealt with according to military law. If he is dismissed, he will be thirty rods.

Under the command of the company commander, the company's thirty large shield hands rushed to the front of the queue and raised the large rattan shield in their hands.

Xiangshan County is located in southern Guangdong, and it is no problem to collect strong and strong rattans. Qin Zhao used dry rattans to make light shields for soldiers and equipped them with companies without rockets.

Thirty shields were raised to block the Knife, Axeman, Spearman and Archer.

The company commander shouted: "Arrow strikes back!"

Twenty archers raised the eight-force bow in their hands, aimed at the target thirty meters away and shot out the bow arrow.

The Eight-Strength Bow is a heavy bow in the field. Some people in later generations have made measurements. When the Eight-Strength Bow is pulled to 40 inches, the pulling force reaches 106 pounds.

In the past four months, Qin Zhao has given the best nutrition to the newly recruited soldiers and has also strengthened the physical training of the newly recruited soldiers to the extreme. Now all the soldiers in Qin Zhao's team are very strong, and it is no problem to activate the eight-power bow to shoot.

I only practiced accurately for a month, but I can’t walk through the poplar for a hundred steps.

However, there is no problem shooting targets thirty meters away.
