Great time travel

Chapter 1: Battle of Yuhang Town
"...We have a long way to go, comrades-in-arms, look ahead,
The team flag is flying high, and the commanders are at the forefront...

The soldiers are all brave and young, with sharp eyes like eagles.

We all have great honor, and have done great service in battle...

Let us speak clearly, and let the enemy take to heart:
We've traveled the world once, and we've gone out if necessary.

Soldiers go!Set off!Set off!
Darling, I'll write you all the way back,
Hear the bugle call,

Goodbye, let's go!Set off!Set off! "

……

In the early morning of the next day, after the entire army had a meal of boiled sticky rice with red beans, which was said to have a special meaning, Major General Sun Yang and Master Zhao selected 5000 troops from all over the world. , according to a pre-divided team of 50 people, holding a map of the war zone that was rushed out based on satellite aerial photos, and under the guidance of the Phoenix Villa guide waving a small yellow flag, embarked on a journey to sweep the surrounding towns in Hangzhou.

When the mopping-up squads raised their flags and set off, they sang the translated version of the former Soviet military song "Departure" with a southern tune and a northern tune.

——Since the establishment of Huameng, choosing the national anthem and military anthem has become a big or small problem: if it is created temporarily, with the level of music of the traversers, it is obvious that they want to make a well-known classic song It's a bit difficult, but if you directly copy those ready-made classic songs...Modern Chinese military songs usually either have too obvious political colors, or contain geographical terms such as the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. People in the Pampas grasslands of South America seem to lack a sense of identity.In addition, the tune is also rather sad, which does not conform to the "main theme" - the agitation and solemnity of defending the country in adversity is completely different from the heroic ambition to conquer the world in great strides!

As for the military songs of European and American countries, most of the classic songs are too cheerful and lack the sense of killing of the military—the older military music of the Western European powers, such as the British "Grenadier March", was composed during the era of queuing and shooting Yes, the soldiers need to walk in unison while listening to the military music and stepping on the drums, while facing the incoming bullets and shells with their chests. If the tune is not cheerful, it is easy for the soldiers who are already under great pressure to have a nervous breakdown... just like Modern pills are coated with a layer of sugar.And those less cheerful songs are often mixed with "disharmonious words" such as God, king or foreign place names, which seriously do not conform to the tone of the "atheist republic" of the Chinese League.

After such a lot of picking and choosing, "Departure", the opening song of the Soviet Red Army Radio Station in the 60s, because there are no specific names of places or people, and the purpose and thought are in line with the actual strategic needs of the Chinese League, and it is full of enough Optimistic and aggressive, it was successfully selected as the military song of the Chinese League Army.As for the military song of the China League Navy, it is still being discussed repeatedly, and for the time being, we can only let the fleets of various countries sing their own songs...

In short, [-] miscellaneous troops with firepower and weapons beyond the era were scattered like this, singing "Departure" and launched a sweeping operation.

However, when the revenge arrows of the "Australians" have brought the entire Hangzhou area into range, the local gentry and gentry are still unaware of their miserable fate... In their eyes, their own village is not Relying on the Qiantang River, far beyond the range of naval guns, there are well-fed armed servants in charge of stationing.And once they leave the strong boat and sharp guns, the thieves are like a tiger without teeth, at least not more difficult to deal with than the Japanese pirates back then.Little did they know that what they were going to face next was the most brutal and brutal special security force under Huameng Xinghuan!
——Although singing the battle song of the Soviet Red Army, the style of this gang of mobs is definitely more inhumane than German fascism!
These miscellaneous troops sent by Major General Sun Yang to carry out sweeping operations are mainly led by naturalized civilian military officers from the union republics who have made mistakes and performed crimes and meritorious service. ", "Auxiliary Legion" and other titles.

As for the origin of the identities of its grassroots soldiers, it is even more mysterious. It can almost be said that it has brought together the most notorious violent madmen, scumbags and criminals from all corners of the world-Japanese ronin who beg for food with knives all day long. The Indian warrior who scalped people with a tomahawk, the Russian Cossack who claimed to cultivate the land with horseshoes and swords, the Tunguska hunter who was born to be forced to fight against the harsh nature, and the North Korean official who had a strong sexual tendency. Slaves, English pirates who came to the East or the New World with a dream of getting rich but became captives, German mercenaries who have been engaged in war and plunder for generations, professional slave catchers who have brought blood and tears to black Africa and North and South America for centuries , and the black slave soldiers who were captured by the slave team and "civilized" and then turned around to harm their compatriots...while the proportion of Han soldiers was less than a quarter, and even these only Han soldiers were Primarily ex-prisoners—needless to say, these guys are a vicious mob.

Although it is a mob who speaks N languages, basic military discipline is still guaranteed, and it is pretty decent to line up in a square formation with military flags—not to mention those Japanese and Koreans, who can eat three meals a day There is meaty rice and the prohibition is amazing.Even the relatively undisciplined black and white soldiers, under the day-to-day education of the instructors and supervisors with sticks and whips, already have a basic sense of discipline and obedience... As for those stubborn and disobedient leaders , are now in mines or plantations!
Generally speaking, the mopping-up troops are basically composed of these messy people. If it comes to charging and attacking strongholds, they are probably slightly worse than the regular army.But when it comes to the "dirty work" of security warfare, it is extremely smooth and proficient. It is absolutely lack of integrity and cruelty, and there is never such a superfluous thing as a soldier's sense of honor in his mind—— —They were originally doing this professionally.

At present, most of the marine troops under the command of Major General Sun Yang are bullying and afraid of strength. The remaining few regular troops are only enough to garrison Phoenix Villa and monitor Hangzhou City.Therefore, as a manifestation of knowing people and being good at responsibility, the task assigned to him by the superior is to cut off the canal, take in the needy Cao Ding and refugees, massacre the landlords and gentry, frame Ming Zhongliang, establish order in the occupied area, and collect as many as possible for the rear. Food, labor, and the alleviation of the imbalance between men and women in the republics, plus "specially provided" Jiangnan beauties for travelers to enjoy...

In order to create an atmosphere of panic to the greatest extent and put pressure on the Hangzhou government, these soldiers would raise their guns and shoot a volley at the top of the city as a souvenir when they passed the city wall of Hangzhou, and then ran away before the defenders had time to respond ...Therefore, the sound of gunshots like popping beans continued intermittently from morning to noon, making the gentry and wealthy households hiding in the city unable to help chanting Buddha, and at the same time criticized the magistrate Liu Mengqian: These damned thieves have all hit the door, you He couldn't even come up with a strategy to retreat from the enemy!What an incompetent fool!
However, compared with the doom that the landowners and gentlemen in the suburbs and countryside are about to suffer, this fright they have received is nothing.

Although the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River have always given people the impression of peace and prosperity, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Hangzhou also suffered from the ravages of Japanese pirates.Every time the Japanese pirates set sail to invade, they went up the Qiantang River. The biggest one was in May of the 34th year of Jiajing (1555), when more than [-] Japanese pirates invaded and approached Hangzhou.In that era, the Yiwu soldiers under the command of Marshal Qi Jiguang once left a great reputation here, and there are still many well-known stories that have been widely praised.But by the end of the Ming Dynasty during the Chongzhen period, the last remaining descendants of the Qi family army had already been buried on both sides of the Hun River in Liaodong.The actual combat effectiveness of the Ming government army in Zhejiang is generally not as powerful as that of the village braves organized by the landlords and gentry.

In general, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty kept a guard army (Beijing camp) that could hardly fight, nearly a million distant relatives (clan) who only ate rice and did not work, and millions of The ghost legion on paper (Wesuo Military Households), and a group of insidious officials (Donglin Party) who are always thinking about how to cut off the government's tax revenue and financial resources.Even if the imperial court wanted to reorganize its armaments, it would not be able to raise the minimum funds.Therefore, in addition to barely squeezing out the meager fiscal revenue to support the last few decent frontier guards, the imperial court can only naively hope that the common people will be voluntary and self-conscious in addition to bearing heavy taxes and corvees. He took the initiative to help the court defend the empire at his own expense...

As a result, when the news of the invasion of the thieves came, according to the practice of this era, Liu Zhifu naturally closed the city gates and did not attack. , to defend the hometown by myself.The book office in the yamen also dug up the old files from the Jiajing period, slightly changed the year name, names of people and places, and copied several copies as they were, and then issued the "About the All-Hangzhou Prefecture" to the four townships and Bali. Important documents such as "Notice on Strengthening the Construction of Group Training" and "Some Guiding Opinions on the Construction of Hangzhou Group Training"...

Of course, there are no documents with these two names in this time and space, but there are still proclamations and Zhazi with similar contents.Considering that Zhejiang has not fought a war for a long time, I am afraid that there will not be many military talents among the people.Therefore, according to Qi Jiguang’s experience in fighting the Japanese during the Jiajing period, the proclamation issued by the magistrate’s office to the surrounding villages and towns explained in as much detail as possible how each village should organize group training: every household’s 16-60-year-old males must be registered in the register, three Ding chooses one Ding to participate in standing military training, and families with few male Ding can nominate one Ding.A chief should play the role of "vanguard and model", that is to say, each chief should act as a "training head" and personally lead the brave Ding to fight.Every village and town must set up a public office, and the local gentry will serve as the head of the public office.The village braves have to practice every day, patrol during the day, and stand guard at night to strictly monitor the surrounding rivers and roads.At the same time, the communication signals between the villages were stipulated. One trumpet was to remind the villages of suspicious situations, two blasts meant that the bandits were coming, and three blasts meant that the enemy had arrived.

These proclamations originally included architectural drawings, instructing villages and towns in various places on how to build strong fortifications.It's just that the Kun bandits have already occupied the outskirts of Hangzhou, and they are about to go out to fight grass valleys. They don't have so much time to build deep ditches, high embankments, and high walls for the villagers.Therefore, the Hangzhou government had no choice but to warn the local gentry to abide by the rules, and if they couldn't keep the villages and towns, they should evacuate to counties far away that had not suffered from military disasters...

In Yuhang Town in the western outskirts of Hangzhou, before the striker of the bandit arrived, the official document sent by the magistrate’s yamen alone made the two families of Shen and Chen who lived here for a long time run wild—as a place where they live next door In terms of power, the two big families usually have quarrels, and fighting with weapons is also a common occurrence, but when it comes to the time when they need to fight against each other, the two families finally have a little bit of a big picture, and for the time being, they will stop entangled in the past. Old grudges.

Regarding the question of whether to defend the town against the thieves, or to pay protection fees to buy peace, Shen Tiande, the head of the Shen family who was in his 80s this year and had personally experienced the Japanese invasion when he was a child, immediately stood up and impassionedly advocated preparations for the war .In his opinion, based on the experience of resisting Japanese pirates in the past, as long as the inland Yuhang Town is brave, set up water fences, send patrol boats, and take strict precautions, it is enough to make any small group of thieves who dare to invade Yuhang come and go. back.And relying on the power of the Shen family in the officialdom, the severed head of the gangster can also provide a family background for the younger generation of the family.

Seeing the gray-bearded old patriarch of the Shen family drooling and waving his crutches with excitement, as if he was going to kill the gangster with a knife in his own hands, and the scene of the Shen family mobilizing young and strong, the Chen family in Yuhang Town Naturally, he was not to be outdone—the head of the Chen family not only mobilized the whole family to prepare for the war, but also immediately mobilized his nephews to rush to the Chen family's ancestral hall, and carried out the four "Town House Artifacts" tiger squat cannons enshrined inside, polished them, and installed them in the ancestral hall of the Chen family. Guard the watchtower at the entrance of Yuhang Town, so that people in the whole town can know who is the pillar on the ground in Yuhang!

As a result, Yuhang Town, which used to be quiet and peaceful in the past, seemed to be an ant nest stepped on by someone for a while, and everything became chaotic everywhere: servants from various families were no longer running around on the street, but people holding The township brave with swords, guns and sticks, the bustling river where boats come and go, the busy figures of the boatmen are gone, replaced by a blockade composed of wooden stakes and stones, and there are bamboos on the river bank to prevent water bandits from landing. fence.The smithy in the town was tinkling and working, and baskets of lead, iron, and charcoal were sent into the smithy, and turned into lead and gun heads when they came out.The tailor shop is in a hurry to make cotton armor and paper armor, and the fine stitches in the past are as big as centipedes today—anyway, it will not take a few days... After such a series of tasks, the people in Yuhang Town who were a little flustered at first, have lost their minds. Stabilized again.

At the entrance of the official road in Yuhang Town, the patriarch Shen Tiande, who was over [-] years old, directed several juniors of the Shen family to move a heavy cauldron to the watchtower, and at the same time yelled inarticulately, saying that he was waiting for the thieves to come. Now, let them taste the golden juice boiled in this cauldron.

There are also four tiger crouching cannons that have been carried to the watchtower by the Chen family. Use a sharp weapon to find a background for yourself.

Of course, just having a tiger crouching cannon is not enough.At this time, the old scholar Chen Jialuo was teaching several nephews how to cut lead bars to make gunpowder, and how to sieve gunpowder to make the gunpowder evenly. Everyone in Yuhang Town knows that Chen Jialuo made it. The gunpowder hits very far and accurately.

As a traditional family of farming and studying in China, Chen Jiazu's ancestors lived a life of farming and studying in the sun for generations, which also made Chen Jialuo, an old scholar who didn't like reading but tinkered with firecrackers, a "credulous" old scholar, became a rebel that everyone looked up to. .Fortunately, his skill in making gunpowder guns is really superb, and people often come to buy his gunpowder guns, so he finally has a bit of status in the clan and is not regarded as a prodigal son.This time when encountering a war, the old scholar Chen Jialuo was the most excited one in the whole family, feeling that his abilities had finally come into play—in order to make himself famous, he not only donated a few treasured "boutiques" The firecrackers, and the unique craftsmanship of pressing the bottom of the box, are all taught to the nephews of the family.

"...Sieve it lightly. In this way, the sifted medicine can be even and solid, and can be shot far and accurately. Otherwise, when it is used, it will either explode or just emit a burst of smoke. Not to mention it can't kill people. You'll hurt your own arm!"

"...Didn't I just want to make more gunpowder before the war, uncle, you have more rules... Oh, don't fight, uncle, I was wrong!"

This is Chen Jialuo, an exasperated old scholar, using his teacher's hands to teach Chen Jinxing, a disobedient junior from his family.Hearing the sound of his younger brother crying and begging for mercy, the elder brother Chen Jinnan, who was cutting lead bars to make guns, couldn't help being taken aback.Chen Jinnan sighed with regret, and continued to cut the remaining lead strips, and then picked out the unqualified lead grains, and carefully put them into a large tea mug next to him—this is for the tiger squatting cannon. It was used as shotgun, and then began to wrap gunpowder in old paper.

When wrapping gunpowder, Chen Jinnan especially looked at the tendons on the uncle's arm that swelled and swelled with sifting, and touched his own withered and thin arm, and couldn't help sighing—although the scholar was in Daming He is a master, but why does he feel that he is a scholar who is useless?
In short, in Chen Jinnan's eyes, Uncle Jia Luo is the most particular about making things, especially in this bird gun.Ordinary people just pour the gunpowder and gunzi into the bird gun, but my uncle always weighs the gunpowder and wraps it with the paper that Chen's nephew and nephew have practiced calligraphy, so as not to pour too much or Fewer.For this reason, he was often scolded by the old man of the Chen family, saying that Chen Jialuo had tarnished his literary spirit, no wonder he couldn't pass the exam after being admitted as a scholar.

But now that the enemy is in front of him, the old man of the Chen family doesn't care about his style anymore. As long as he can repel the thieves, what's the point of burning a few pieces of paper?
In addition, what worries the two patriarchs even more is that there is really no qualified commander in the town who has military experience and can lead the village to fight bravely. Martial arts exams have long been a mere formality, with a lot of vain fame, far less rigorous than the literary exams.Even if you are admitted to Wu Juren, you may not have any real skills.It is not difficult for any son of a wealthy country gentry who is a little bit more powerful in martial arts to spend a few dollars to get a reputation as a martial arts scholar or a martial artist. Of course, such fame is useless except that it sounds comfortable.

In fact, among the children of the Shen and Chen families, there are a few who can wield guns and wield sticks, and claim to be brave and brave to fight, but they are all courageous, and at best they only have the "combat experience" of a few street fights. If it expands to a few hundred people, it will be blind - the kind of Jianghu heroes and young and Dangerous people who fight alone all day long are completely different from qualified grassroots commanders.Even young and Dangerous boys on the streets, not everyone can organize a big scene where hundreds of people fight each other... Even if you are the boss of a gangster, you need a certain amount of experience in organization and management!
Therefore, the two patriarchs of the Shen and Chen families are really worried that there is no experienced veteran with actual combat experience to take the lead.

So, they discussed whether to pool some money and hire a coach from the nearby Haimen Guard or the escort agency in Hangzhou.

However, the attack speed of the thieves was much faster than expected, and before the Yuhang town's township courageous group had any clues, the battle had already come suddenly...
