Go to the capital city, the second alley.

The consultant was wearing casual clothes, carrying a long strip of pork about ten kilograms in one hand, and carrying a jar of wine in the other hand, and walked in with great strides.

Erdao Alley is a relatively special existence because the families of the Huofeng Army live here are all the families of the Huofeng Army. Now, there are basically only women, children, elderly, and children in every household here. Because the Huofeng Army in Dachu has either died in the battlefield, in the wounded barracks, or in the prisoner-of-war camp.

After the war, the Ming army had disbanded and released other Chu troops on the spot, but the Huofeng Army would not have a final result for the time being because of its special status.

The consultant came here, so he was naturally looking for friends. And the only one he could be considered a friend or an enemy here was the only one Fire Phoenix Army officer, Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng was captured in Xiangzhou. After the war, he was released early because of the protection of his consultant and was able to return to his home in Erdao Lane, Shangjing. Of course, he had to report every three days to prove that he was still staying at home honestly.

Walking in the alley, the consultant suddenly felt a creepy feeling, and a layer of cold sweat oozed out of his vest. The intuition of the soldier always made him feel that someone was peeping at him and glanced at the closed doors on both sides of the alley. The consultant understood that those eyes came from behind the doors.

Although I was wearing casual clothes, I was wearing standard military boots. No one could tell me about this in other places. However, here, the people gathered here are military households, and I am afraid that the most familiar one is the equipment of the soldiers.

He suddenly understood why these peeping eyes were filled with hatred.

In the battle of Ming Chu, the 100,000 Fire Phoenix Army, the last one survived, would not exceed 20,000, but the maximum number of people who could return with all their heads was the soldiers of the Fire Phoenix Army. Their brave battles, the mortality rate and injury rate were naturally high.

In these two alleys, I don’t know how many orphans and widows were added, and how many old men and women were added, after this battle. I, an officer from the Ming Dynasty, came here at this time. If I could receive a respectful look, I would be a ghost.

When the brave wins on the battlefield, we win by our ability. Why do we feel guilty? When the consultant thought of this, he straightened his chest. He was not worried about being attacked. Not to mention that most of them are old, weak, women and children. Even if there are still some strong men, they are afraid of something. Places like Erdao Alley are naturally the focus of the control of the Ming army. There are troops stationed around them. If they dare to attack themselves, they will be afraid that they will bring disaster to the entire alley.

Many of the consultants also died at the hands of the Huofeng Army. Ji Cheng alone made him lose many brothers. However, since the consultant joined the army, he received education to be the masters on the battlefield, fighting and fighting. If he died, he was not lucky, had poor skills, and could not blame others. Therefore, he did not resent Ji Cheng, but felt that this was indeed a hero.

When the battle is over, the grudges will naturally be resolved.

He said that he would come to Erdao Alley to find Ji Cheng, so he naturally had to keep his promise. Of course, he also wanted to fight Ji Cheng.

Because Ji Cheng told his consultant that his home was located, the consultant found Ji Cheng's home in the alley without much effort. The courtyards here looked exactly the same, and they were all unified courtyards built by the Chu court for the soldiers of the Huofeng Army. If you don't understand it clearly in advance, it would be really difficult to find.

The wooden door was knocked on, and with a creaking sound, the door was opened. A half-old child showed half of his face, looked up at the consultant, showing a curious look.

"Uncle, who are you looking for?"

The consultant touched his chin. Today, he came here and shaved his beard. He dressed up very energetic. Does he look that old? He is only twenty-five years old and hasn't even found a wife? Ji Cheng seems to be no more than two years older than him. This kid is so old?

"Uncle is looking for Ji Cheng, is he your father?" the consultant squatted down and asked with a smile.

"Dad, someone is looking for you!" The child turned around and shouted. While shouting, he opened the door completely. Then the consultant saw Ji Cheng. The last time he saved this guy from the prisoner-of-war camp, it was more than a month now. He looked like he looked even more haggard than when he left the prisoner-of-war camp.

"Consultant?" Ji Cheng looked at the other party in surprise: "Why are you here?"

"I said I want to see you!" The consultant smiled and handed the meat and wine in his hand to Ji Cheng. Although the things are not worth it, it is really not easy to buy a guy like Ji Cheng in Shangjing. This is the real Ming Dynasty burning knife. After the Ming Dynasty attacked Shangjing and completely controlled the city, it was only one pound for the soldiers. The consultant was not willing to drink it. When it came, he also kidnapped the portion of several comrades, and he had enough money to buy something in front of him.

"Thank you!" Ji Cheng was not polite, it was okay to pour wine. For his family, meat is really a good thing now. The family has not been exposed to meat for many days." My mother, the guest came, took the things in and stewed meat at noon!"

A woman walked out of the house with Ji Cheng's shouting, and shyly bowed to the consultant for a blessing. She took the meat and wine from Ji Cheng's hand, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

This made the consultant feel a little awkward when he saw it. Ji Cheng was a captain of the Huofeng Army. His official position was not low and his salary was also very high. Judging from his model, he must have been from an official family. But now he has a few kilograms of meat and wine, which shows the tragic situation he has been in the capital these past or two years.

"Sit in the room!" Ji Cheng said sideways.

"Forget it, just sit in the yard, it's bright outside." The consultant shook his head, "It's not so good to see you, what's wrong?"

Ji Cheng sighed, walked into the house, carried two chairs in the yard, and they had a friendship, and there was no politeness or anything like that.

"I'm back, but my brother is gone. I can't stand the stimulation and fell ill all of a sudden." Ji Cheng sighed.

The consultant couldn't help but feel silent. When he was in the wounded barracks, he would have thought that what he would persuade Ji Cheng to do was actually a fact. But thinking about it, there were only 20,000 Fire Phoenix Army left, and it was normal that Ji Cheng's brother died in battle.

“Are you confirmed?”

"Confirm, a veteran here with a broken leg was released two days ago. He and my brother are on the same whistle." Ji Cheng sighed,

"That's right." The consultant nodded. Among the Fire Phoenix Army, the only ones who can go home now are those who have healed severe injuries and lost their combat effectiveness. "Where is there?"

"Yanglingyi!"

"No wonder!" The consultant shook his head. The Huofeng Army in Yanglingyi had the most casualties, and in the end, only more than a hundred personal soldiers led by the chief general Lu Wenpei were left.

"What are your plans in the future?" asked the consultant.

"What else can I have?" Ji Cheng smiled slutty: "You are old, young, my wife, you can't do anything. I hope you can settle the bill this time, so I will retire and honestly find a job to support my mother and support my wife and children."

The consultant shook his head: "I'm afraid you won't get what you want."

"What does it mean?" Ji Cheng became nervous.

"Don't be so nervous." The consultant spread his hands and said, "I didn't know anything about how to deal with the Fire Phoenix Army from our general. It's not a secret. It's about to be officially announced."

"How about you treat us?"

"The Fire Phoenix Army has amazing combat effectiveness, and everyone is concentrated in Shangjing City. It is the landing household in Shangjing City. There are about 20,000 people surviving the Fire Phoenix Army, and there are about 10,000 people like you who have no damage to the combat power. Naturally, there are no relief for the superiors to the extent that there are so many soldiers concentrated in Shangjing City. So you will be reorganized into our Ming army and then transferred to Kunling County." The consultant whispered.

Ji Cheng looked tragic, "Of course someone like me can't escape. When I arrived in Kunling County, would I prepare to fight with the Qi people?"

"It may not be able to fight in a short period of time, but it will not be avoided sooner or later. Ji Cheng, you will have to serve there for at least five years." The consultant said: "In our Ming army, the general soldiers served only three years, but you will have to serve for five years. You are a lieutenant, and I am very outstanding, I am afraid there is no hope of retirement."

After hearing this bad news from the consultant that was absolutely bad news for Ji Cheng, Ji Cheng was silent for a moment: "You know I am not a person who is afraid of death."

"Of course, I have understood this a long time ago." The consultant nodded.

"But I really can't die now." Ji Cheng's face was tragic, "Or, I can only avoid joining the army like that guy with broken legs."

The consultant couldn't help but change his face: "What are you talking about? This is not something Ji Cheng can do in my impression. Ji Cheng, the military pay of the Ming Dynasty is very high. A lieutenant like you, the annual salary is enough to make your family live a good life."

"It's not just because of money." Ji Cheng sighed.

The consultant looked inside the house and was silent for a moment, "I also know something, but I can't help, you know that I'm just a lieutenant."

"What news?"

"Our Ming Dynasty will set up a guard office in Shangjing City. Under the guard office, a recruit training camp will be set up. Because in the future, this recruit training camp will recruit people from Chu, so some Chu instructors will be needed. You are skilled in archery and horses and have rich battlefield experience. If you have the opportunity to go, you will stay in Shangjing."

"Will these instructors be recruited in the Fire Phoenix Army?"

"Maybe, but there are many talents in your Huofeng Army. It depends on your luck. Ji Cheng, even if you can't choose, don't do things that are foolish. Once you are included in the Ming system, you will become a Ming soldier. If you really dare to rush to escape, the military law will be ruthless!"
