"Your Highness, don't blame these generals. What you said is really a bit unsuitable for the military camp..."

After Li Guodong went out, Sandezi added tea to Zhu Cilang next to him.

Although Sandezi had never stayed in the army, the West Factory also had to train factory guards, so these things were basically not light. If there was no violence, it would be difficult to manage the army well.

After going to the battlefield, Sandezi was indeed good. On the one hand, he served Zhu Cixuan and on the other hand, he was also responsible for intelligence investigation.

So many rebels have come this time, but they have a direct relationship with the people under San Dezi. If his subordinates have not worked so hard, how could so many people have come?

The most important thing is that this guy doesn’t have much selfishness and speaks with conscience when speaking. Take the matter in front of him as an example. The rebel army was obviously found by his people, but he still helped Li Guodong and others speak.

"It seems that I am too idealistic. Please help me stare at them. Don't do it too much. It's okay to kick occasionally. But if you deliberately target some people, you must severely punish them. What's the situation in the Qing Dynasty?"

Zhu Ciyang was also afraid of inequality in the army. Some people bullied these newcomers because they were their own personal troops. However, the signs have not appeared now, so I will ignore them for the time being. I still have to focus on the main energy on the enemy.

Speaking of this matter, Sandezi was about to report that the Qing army was already stationed twenty miles away.

Since we set up camp in southern Qufu, the Qing army's reaction speed has been very fast. Although Duoduo's large group of troops has not arrived yet, some of the vanguards of the Eight Banners Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty have arrived.

Cooperating with the Han army under the command of the Shandong Governor, they had already set up camp twenty miles north.

After listening to the report of Sandezi, Zhu Cilang said in his heart that it came quickly enough. The Qing people were definitely not famous for winning the world in their original history. Just looking at their reaction speed, they were already much better than their previous enemies.

Whether it was Li Zicheng or Ma Shiying, their reaction speed was far inferior to those of the Qing people.

Just when Zhu Cixuan wanted to issue an order, he suddenly heard gunshots sounding in the north.

Zhu Cixuan quickly came outside the tent, but because the distance was too far, he didn't know what was going on in the north. The sound should be the flintlock rifle here.

"Go and explore now..."

As soon as Zhu Cixuan finished speaking, Sandezi had disappeared between the tents.

This is indeed our people had a firefight with the Qing people.

If Zhu Cixuan was there, I'm afraid he would know the driving person.

This person's name is Zhang Dashan. He turned out to be the guard of the East Palace. He was considered an old man next to Zhu Cixuan. He followed Zhu Cixuan from the north and south.

Because of his strong military skills and cleverness, he has now changed from an ordinary East Palace guard to a company commander of an infantry company.

When he was assigned a task this morning, his company was assigned a patrol mission to the north. Who knew that he encountered the Qing army during the patrol, so he fired the first shot.

When the assignment was made in the morning, the entire company was divided into dozens of patrol teams. As the company commander, Zhang Dashan naturally did not dare to stay in the camp and be lazy.

So he personally led a patrol team to the north. He himself did not expect that an ordinary patrol mission would actually fire the first shot of the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty.

After the task was assigned, Zhang Dashan led his men along a small road in the northwest direction.

Everyone was nervous at that time. After all, they had heard that the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty was very powerful. If they really encountered it, it would be enough for them to drink a pot.

While walking, Zhang Dashan encouraged his brothers. That is, when his brothers had confidence, they met the patrol team of the Qing people opposite, with about fifty people.

The enemies on both sides were particularly jealous when they met. What else could they say? Zhang Dashan immediately ordered his soldiers to prepare for the battle.

"The whole group is divided into three teams, ready for pistols at any time."

When he met these people, Zhang Dashan was calmly commanding the battle. He had seen how Zhu Cilang commanded in the capital, so although his subordinates were not as many as the other party, there was nothing to be afraid of.

His Highness the Crown Prince commanded the East Palace guards who had been trained for a short time and were able to repel Li Zicheng's army several times his own. Now more than 30 of us have been trained by recruits for three months. Can we still not beat more than 50 Qing people on the opposite side?

In Zhang Dashan's heart, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is like a god. Although we are very different from God now, according to His Royal Highness the command method, we really don't believe it. Could it be that these people are all made of copper heads and iron arms?

When the Qing people saw Zhang Dashan, they were also extremely excited. They had been fighting in the north for a long time. Every time they saw the Ming army, they would rush up.

These Ming troops collapsed immediately, and they thought the people in front of them were the same.

"Brothers rushed forward to me. They used to fight, but today they would fight. Don't look at the black stuff they held in their hands, it was actually useless. As long as we step up the charge, everyone will kneel under our horse's hooves."

Although the Qing officers saw the difference in this army, they had not seen the muskets of the Ming Dynasty before, and they were basically useless.

Not to mention the low hit rate, but after firing one shot, you have to wait a long time before you can get a second shot. As long as their charge speed is fast enough, there will never be a chance to let the Ming army fire the second shot.

Seeing the Qing army rushing towards Zhang Dashan, the army under Zhang Dashan was indeed a little nervous. After all, they were facing the world's No. 1 Eight Banners Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty.

"I'm calm down. No one can shoot without my orders. After firing the gun, I quickly get back and load the ammunition at the fastest speed. Just like our usual training, don't be nervous. After fighting this battle, you will be veterans. If anyone is wrong, don't blame me for not thinking about brotherhood. Let's go in with white knife and red knife, and I will send you on my own."

Although Zhang Dashan's words revealed ruthlessness, they were strange. After hearing the company commander's words, they were less nervous. Just like usual training, they aimed slowly, and then waited for the company commander's order to pull the trigger...
