Four years after graduating from the military academy, Shen Chixin is still not well adapted to the life of the grass-roots army: getting up early, going out for exercises, folding quilts, sorting out the internal affairs, cleaning, queue training, exercises, physical training, education, roll call, shop and sentry duty
In reality, the grass-roots troops are far from the film and television propaganda, and are also far from Shen Chixin's ideal. Most of the time, they are mechanically repeating their daily life.
Fortunately, Shen Chixin is optimistic. Just like his name, he can see everything clearly. Since you are powerless to change the environment, then actively integrate into the environment.
He made great efforts to adjust his mentality and maintain a positive attitude, gradually emerging among the officers of the same period. Among the same group of officers, he was the first to be seconded to an organ as a training staff officer and the first to serve as the military chief of the main battle company.
This is an era of introspection and freedom. With Shen Zhixin's qualifications and background, it is certainly difficult to make contributions and achieve success as ideal, and go to the peak of life.
However, he tried not to be overwhelmed by the times, and tried to catch up with the tide of the times. He was a small man in this big era, and a fighter among the small men.
For example, Shen Chixin has been fond of history and military since childhood, and his interest has remained undiminished. The historical stories in the old paper pile and the military expedition in the old era may not be of any substantive help to his career.
However, Shen Chixin still enjoys it. Even though he is busy with his work, he also habitually takes time to read, taking the study of history and military affairs as the greatest pleasure.
Life is like a drop in the ocean. Not surprisingly, he will be like most people, just like a grain of dust in the rolling world of mortals, coming and going without trace, without trace in the history books.
However, the accident just happened.
In the autumn of this year, Shen Chixin, on behalf of the brigade, participated in a big competition among grass-roots officers organized by the group army. The martial arts competition strictly simulates the actual combat environment. From plotting maps to combat calculations, from formulating combat plans to online red blue confrontation, from physical fitness to shooting, Shen Chixin ranked top.
The last subject is directional cross-country: in a strange area in the wild, under the electromagnetic interference environment, within 24 hours, complete the 60 km journey on foot, and find the hidden point information set on the way.
Shen Chixin is eager to win. He takes a path to climb over the unknown mountain and leaves his competitors behind. Here is the mountainous area of southern Jiangxi. The mountain ranges are overlapping and rugged.
The night is dark and the wind is high. We should have camped. When Shen Chixin climbed to the top of the mountain, he saw the lights in the distance and expected that his competitors were going in the dark. He was quite tired, but didn't want to be caught up by his opponent. He decided to go down the mountain in the dark, find a shelter halfway up the mountain, and set up a tent to rest.
To my surprise, this unnamed mountain is not very impressive on the map, but actually quite rugged. Shen Chixin secretly scolded the cartographer for being careless, and took out the compass to determine the direction.
Taking advantage of the light of the flashlight, he unexpectedly saw that the pointer of the north arrow was rotating back and forth. Is there any magnetic field interference? Looking up again for the Polaris, I saw that it was dark overhead. Where was the star and moon?
A sudden gust of wind hit Shen Chixin, who couldn't support it, but was blown to the ground by the wind and rolled on the rugged mountain road. The violent impact made him unbearable and he soon became unconscious.
When Shen Chixin wakes up again, he finds himself in prison, surrounded by fellow prisoners of his age. On closer inspection, everyone was wearing strange clothes with a pigtail behind their head.
Is it crossing? Shen Chixin's skull ached, and the two memories gradually merged. It turned out that I accidentally fell off the cliff during the martial arts contest, and my soul was pierced by a person with the same name and surname more than 300 years ago!
It is now 1649, which is three years of Yongli in the Southern Ming Dynasty and six years of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the whole country had been in chaos for a long time, and the Manchu Dynasty had occupied more than half of the world. The peasant army Dashun and Daxi regimes were destroyed one after another, and the Nanming Dynasty was huddled in the southwest corner.
What's more ridiculous is that Shen Zhixin's identity after crossing the border is actually a slave of the Eight Banners! At the beginning of the rise of the Eight Banners, a large number of Han people were captured as slaves.
After the Manchu occupied Beijing, the Eight Banners Army occupied a large amount of land around the capital. The Han people in Beijing lost their land and property and had to be enslaved by the Eight Banners. The flag leader brutally enslaved the Han people, who had to flee in large numbers. These were the three famous disadvantages in the early Qing Dynasty: enclosure, charging and fleeing.
In 1649, the situation of Nanming, which was once shining again, turned sharply downward again and lost Jiangxi, Hunan and other provinces. The Qing army marched southward in a large scale, sending Geng Zhongming, the King of Jingnan, to join Shang Kexi, the King of Pingnan, and lead 20000 troops against Guangdong; Kong Youde, the King of the South, was sent to lead 20000 troops to Guangxi.
When Geng Zhongming led his army to Jiangxi, the Manchu Criminal Department issued a report to impeach Geng Zhongming for hiding fugitives in the army, which violated the law on fugitives and should be killed.
Shen Chixin is a fugitive from Geng Zhongming's army. He used to be the son of the gentry in Xianghe County, Shuntianfu, North Zhili. He was enslaved because of the occupation of land by the Eight Banners. Shen Chixin had to escape from his family property and found refuge in Geng Zhongming's army.
After a long time, Shen Chixin, as a modern company commander, had his soul crossed to Nanming, and his identity after crossing was actually a slave of the Eight Banners!
When Shen Chixin looked at the greasy braids, he couldn't help getting angry: the crossing plot that often happens in online novels happened to him! It's not good to go through where, but to go through Nanming, which is extremely difficult to survive! The identity after passing through is not Chongzhen, not the prince, not the vassal, not the civil servants and military generals, but a slave of the Eight Banners!
However, he was always optimistic and cheerful, and soon adjusted his mind: he loved military affairs and history before traveling, and now is not the best stage for performance!
The Manchu and Qing dynasties replaced the Ming Dynasty, pushing the feudal rule to the peak, and also bringing China into the abyss of modern history, bringing endless disasters to the people. If we can turn the tide and rebuild China, what a great achievement it will be!
At this time, a young man in his early twenties came up to Shen Chixin and said, "Danchu, are you awake at last? Are you feeling better? You've been running a fever and fainting these two days. I'm really worried."
Shen Chi remembered that he had once been a student in Xianghe County. The young man in front of him is his fellow townsman, friend, and classmate in the county school. His name is Zhou Lianru, and his name is Yuchen.
Both of them were captured as slaves by the Eight Banners. Their families were broken and their people died. They could not bear being humiliated and fled to Geng Zhongming's army. Geng Zhongming has been following another traitor Kong Youde since he surrendered to the Manchu.
For the first time, Geng Zhongming was on his own in this southern expedition. He was trying to expand his army from 2500 to 10000. Among them are Shen Chixin and Zhou Lianru.
Shen Chixin said to Zhou Lianru, "Rainy morning, I feel much better."
The prison was originally crowded with more than 30 people, but now they all gathered around and said:
"You are so lucky. You just survived after being in a coma for two days."
"What's the use of waking up? In the end, it's still a death? It's said that all Manchu soldiers have arrived, so we must be executed."
"What are you afraid of? King Jingnan is a prince anyway. Even if the Regent comes, he will have to sell him some face."
"Yes, yes. In my opinion, the Regent will only reprimand King Jingnan, and will not do anything to him. We should stay in King Jingnan's camp safely and eat food as soldiers. Maybe we can make achievements in the future."
……
A short dialogue reveals a lot of information. The so-called "regent king" refers to Dourgen, the "emperor father regent king" of the Manchu Dynasty. Because Emperor Shunzhi was young, Dourgen had the power. The so-called "Manchurian soldiers" refer to the real eight flag army, which is different from the Han and Mongolian armies who surrendered to the Manchu.
Shen Chixin is acutely aware that the inmates are not clear about the current situation and have fantasies about the Manchu Dynasty. In troubled times, for most people, survival is the first, loyalty, morality and conscience are irrelevant.
However, Shen Chixin is carrying national hatred and family hatred. How can he bow to the enemy? How can we help the enemy kill his own compatriots?
He suddenly got up, looked around all the prisoners, and said coldly, "Don't have any illusions, everyone. King Jingnan is already a clay bodhisattva crossing the river. I'm sure that in a few days, King Jingnan will die!"
