    On the edge of the eastern foothills of the Taihang River in the north of Zhenzhou, Chen Baoshan, a straggler from the Fujian Cadastral Register, carried a blunderbuss and a pouch on his back, and walked on the muddy mountain road after the rain, but he kept it up with ease.  Keeping the balance and stability of the body, the friction and impact sounds of objects on the body should always be kept at a smaller amplitude and frequency.  This is a skill he has developed from traveling thousands of times to and from mountains, forests and ravines since he was a child, traveling through mountains and rivers to visit villages on his back, and getting his feet out of thick calluses.  Being able to have the life and treatment he has now is something he never dreamed of.  His hometown is located among the mountains of Fujian, which is known as "eight mountains, one water, half farmland, and half by the sea."  Life in Fujian is so difficult and difficult that men like them, who grew up there, can't get wives when they come and go, so they can only risk their lives to get them from those Shanha villages.  And every nook and cranny in the large and small terraces opened on the mountain is soaked with the sweat and blood and tears of their ancestors for generations; because even in the most peaceful years, they still have to compete with others for everything.  Competition for water, land, and mountains and forests; limited and barren output coupled with constant fighting and competition every year has kept the local population low, and at the same time created a strong and tenacious local folk customs.  Therefore, after local men finally reach adulthood, in order to reduce the burden on their families and repay the kindness of upbringing, they have no choice but to leave the hometown where they live and are familiar with, and go to make a living elsewhere in droves.  The most common way out is to go to the cities on the seaside to look for opportunities, and then most of them will sell themselves to those boat owners or maritime merchants who discuss life on the sea, and then use the cost of their wandering life to repay the travel expenses.  and the resulting debt at home.  Only a small number of people will be favored by the recruiting officers stationed in coastal states in the Southern Dynasties. They will eat military rations and have a relatively stable livelihood. Then, after being away from home for a long time, they will die in battle far away or by luck.  Settling down in a foreign land.  Men in inland areas tend to go to various mines and forest farms to make a living. Although the land in Fujian is sparse and barren and full of ravines, there are many hills and forests, which also breeds large and small  There are numerous mines of all kinds, as well as forest farms that produce large materials for shipbuilding, precious wood, and even charcoal for smelting.  Among them, the ones with the best conditions and the highest pay are undoubtedly the mines under the control of Kuchao Soshoji and the Imperial Palace. However, not everyone can work there. It is usually only for specific areas and specific groups of people. They prefer to use the mines from  The vassal slaves bought back from overseas trade were used as daily consumables in exchange for ore output.  Therefore, most people have no choice but to settle for the second best, choosing public places run by local governments and private places developed by powerful families in various places. The conditions and environment in these places are harsh enough to knock out any strong man.  Soon, within a dozen years, he turned into a prematurely aging person who ran out of fuel and was a walking corpse.  Not to mention that the management treats them like slaves and pigs and dogs, and they do their best to seek benefits, resulting in frequent deaths and injuries caused by excessive overwork and improper protection; but there are still people who have to defect and sell themselves, and then use various means to  The corpses of people who died accidentally, died of illness, or died of exhaustion filled the ditches outside the mine.  Therefore, Dayun Sect's teachings, which are good at deceiving people, were able to develop and spread rapidly in this fierce situation, and finally mobilized these desperate and helpless people to become a sweeping force in central Fujian.  Thirteen states rushed out of the mountains, raging storms and raging tides raging across the southeastern land.  Under the pressure of such troubled times, if there is no accident, becoming a thief will lead to death. However, when the family fled to the coast, they became separated and fell ill along the way. In the end, only a few of them died. He will also follow.  The captured city became one of them; but Fengjuanqi, the recruiting general of the Huai army who came to Fujian, gave them new opportunities and the possibility of a way out.  Instead of relying on the tough and unspeakable corn dregs and bran to make a paste, there is a piece of rotten turnip head that is so black that it licks to eat for days;  There are years when my face is full of green vegetables and my body is swollen, but only during the New Year do I have a bowl of brown rice saved between my teeth to worship my ancestors.  .  .  Even when there is no war here, you can eat enough rice and flour every day without eating meat; while during the war, there are big (salted) fish and big (canned) meat constantly, and pigs and sheep are killed every now and then for tooth sacrifices, all kinds of offal and blood.  His mouth was full of food; it was far from the past in the mountains where it was so easy to hunt down skinny wild animals with little oil or water. They were grilled over the fire without even pulling out the hair and then eaten half-cooked with no salt and little oil.  Not to mention the endless rations and various kinds of food in the army, which show how rich and abundant Huai Town was under its rule.  Therefore, he cannot lose and give up.?an opportunity.  Although he was ridiculed and almost eliminated because of his short stature and lack of strength, he still burst out with a fierce determination, endured all the scars on his body, and survived with the qualification of being the tail of the crane.  With his outstanding footwork, eyesight and reflexes, he became a member of the recently re-established Huai Army skirmishers.  Of course, the skirmishers that have been rebuilt in the order of major main battle armies are no longer the kind of miscellaneous supporting roles that they played on the battlefield and cleaned up after the aftermath, with only rations and no military pay. Instead, they play a role in the traditional white soldiers and gun soldiers, throwing  In addition to the grenades, a specially compiled light-armed long-range force that emphasizes battlefield maneuverability and flexibility; Based on the original mountain infantry from Fujian and the children of the mountains and forests from the Andong Orions, they were organized to adapt to complex terrains such as mountainous and rugged terrain.  new preparation.  In peacetime, battalions are used as units for training and management, but during frontal combat, regiments are used as units and are assigned to each formation.  They basically wear no armor or only wear tight-fitting silk armor vests, equipped with exclusive long muskets and helmets. They are arranged in a loose formation and go ahead of the regular battle lines to contain and weaken the enemy.  Or after encountering the enemy on the march, they can occupy the commanding heights and terrain points for the large troops, block and delay the emerging enemies, and even conduct corresponding fire reconnaissance according to the terrain; or they can conveniently and flexibly pass through obstacles such as mountains and forests to enter the preset positions.  They are engaged in ambush and harassment operations. Therefore, although the equipment is light and the load is small, it is a new unit that requires high physical fitness and endurance.  This is the first time that this newly formed skirmisher team has acted independently and performed tasks. What they have to face is the steep mountains at the foot of Taihang.  Because the mountains are rugged and difficult to travel, all rations, ammunition, and tents and blankets must be carried on the individual's back. In order to strengthen their fire suppression and limited attack capabilities, the only mountain pack horses are decomposed on the backs of them.  At the back are the mountain gun barrel and bracket, as well as the rattan box bedding and the ammunition loaded in wooden barrels.  With very few loading tools, the supplies allocated to each person are extremely limited. Before the local guide leads them to the next hidden water source in the mountains, they must endure a long period of thirst and sweating.  Therefore, each of them carries two iron kettles, large and small. The large pot contains water with salt and sugar, and the small pot contains a specially prepared refreshing drink. The little one is only allowed to drink it when ordered.  Take a bite and quench your thirst a little.  Therefore, the most difficult thing here is not hunger and exhaustion, but lack of water.  The terrain in the mountains also became narrower and narrower, and in the end, the so-called mountain roads and trails almost disappeared among the endless piles of rocks and cliffs, and the equipment and robes on the body were covered with mud and sand.  Suddenly, in the dull and numb mountains and bushes, the sudden reflection of the helmet made Chen Baoshan tremble and tense up. The enemy was actually the enemy. Suddenly, he encountered the enemy in this remote and inaccessible mountain road.  However, the negligent opponent obviously hadn't noticed them yet, and as the sporadic voices with thick accents got closer and closer, he hurriedly took off the gun from behind, opened the breech and stuffed the wrapped medicine into it, buttoning the  Put the flash cap on, then cock the hammer, and hold it on a stone in front of your chest, facing forward diagonally.  Then he saw clearly that this was a patrol team in the mountains. He saw them carelessly carrying short spears, short-hand knives and swords whose patent leather was about to fall off. Two of them were hanging with their bows with fallen horns.  Holding the half-filled arrow pot, he walked slowly along an almost invisible path under the mountain wall.  It was too late to form an array and order. The vanguard skirmishers who hurriedly occupied the gaps between rocks and trees had already raised long and short firecrackers amidst the low-pitched bird song.  And the enemies of these patrol teams seemed to have noticed the sound of sand rolling down and branches breaking diagonally above. They began to stop and get closer and gather together. They took off their bows and arrows and began to string them. Suddenly, there was a dense ping-ping-pong-pong sound.  With a sound, they seemed to have been whipped hard by an invisible whip. Suddenly, in the patrol team with only a dozen people, seven or eight figures fell down with blood blooming. They almost did not hesitate or struggle.  Just roll down the mountain.  The remaining people scattered like a nest exploded, but they were restricted to the narrow mountain roads and steep slopes. They couldn't run or move fast at all. They were quickly jumped down from the opposite side.  The soldiers caught up with him, and a moment later, as the last desperate figure rolled and scraped among the rocks and sparse bushes, his flesh and blood were blurred, and he could no longer get up. This sudden and short battle also ended.  Towards the end.  In the end, there was actually a guy who came in a hurry and was obviously a laggard. He flashed under the mountain wall not far away, and then turned around and ran away with a pale face. Chen Baoshan, who was in charge of guarding, chased after him with all his strength.He quickly reached close and hit his thigh with a gun, and then he fell to the ground and did the only thing that could be tortured.  Immediately, near the opponent's temporary sentry post and camp, the vanguard team once again found a mountain spring flowing down the river. They immediately jumped in and drank half full, then filled the big water bottle and added the water they brought.  Shake the sugar and salt well, then take out the strips of compressed military rations and chew them vigorously with the water.  After more than half an hour, the guide with a weathered face breathed out a sigh of relief, slightly raised his cane and pointed.  "The place has arrived I saw in the distance a low plateau between mountains, and a city or a large market town is located in it. Various irregular buildings and flags, almost like Linlitz  During the distribution period, the so-called city wall only has a large section with a gatehouse on the northwest side, which just cuts off the valley road leading to the mountain; the rest of the city wall is mostly covered by steep wall-like mountains or rugged cliffs.  Surrounded by only a low slope in the southwest corner, one can see the faint gray-white mottled continuous hills in the distance and the plain land hidden in the skyline.
