Fortunately, after Zhang Cheng traveled through time, the body he possessed was still good.
This new body is not only tall and strong, he can also bow, horse, ride, and shoot, and is even very skilled in slashing and fighting on horseback. He is also a cavalry commander himself. His uncle is Zhang Yan, the counselor of the Xuanfu. Although this uncle who was picked up is very good. He was about to die in the Battle of Julu together with Lu Xiangsheng, the loyal soul warden of the Ming Dynasty.
Thanks to Zhang Yan's care, he, the Cavalry Thousand Headquarters, is regarded as Zhang Yan's personal soldier. Not only does he maintain good training, but his weapons and equipment are also decent. Among the frontier armies of this era, he is considered good.
And the original Zhang Cheng before he occupied this body was also a very good person.
It turns out that Zhang Cheng began to read and write when he was young, and even passed the Tongsheng test. Later, when he was seventeen years old, due to the death of his father and the decline of his family, he joined his uncle Zhang Yan, who was a general in Xuanfu Town, and joined the army. .
His family comes from a military family, and his father also studied since he was a child. Unfortunately, he never obtained any honors throughout his life. Originally, Zhang Yan wanted to support his nephew to continue studying the Four Books and Five Classics. He hoped that he could obtain a title and honor his ancestors. .
However, after his father died of illness, Zhang Cheng did not want to sit at home and earn a living, so he harassed his mother and uncle Zhang Yan, and even went on a hunger strike to prove his ambition. Only then did he get the consent of his mother and uncle, and joined his uncle to join the frontier army in Xuanfu Town.
Fortunately, he came from a military family. Not only had he been able to read and write since he was a child, he had also been diligently practicing horse, rifle, sword and spear. He was also very talented in this area, and he was proficient in bow and horse at a young age.
After joining the army, he also experienced several large and small battles. During this period, he made many military exploits and led troops well. He treated his subordinates very well and was very popular among his subordinates. He was even praised by his uncle, General Zhang Yan. Maintaining and taking care of everything, so he was promoted from Xiaoqi to the current position of Cavalry Chief Qian.
However, the only shortcoming of the original Zhang Cheng was that he was short-tempered and had a bad temper. He looked down on the idle frontier generals and ordinary Qiu Ba. He often made troubles and offended people. It was only because of Zhang Yan's love for him that he was saved time and time again. .
One day in early July of the 11th year of Chongzhen, Zhang Cheng and his sentry commanders were drinking in a restaurant in the town. They met an officer who was bullying others. He couldn't stand this kind of scum who was not good at fighting and bullied good but good scum. , he pretended to be drunk, took the opportunity to make trouble with a prostitute, and gave the scumbag officer a good lesson.
Who would have thought that he also had a back-up, and actually went directly to Zhang Yan to report the black case? Zhang Yan had high expectations for his nephew, and he just wanted to use this incident to teach his own nephew a lesson. I hope He was able to learn a lesson and change his bad temper. Unexpectedly, he was hit harder and actually beat the original Zhang Cheng to death!
Let this fake Zhang Cheng, who had traveled through time for no apparent reason, take a ready advantage and occupy this good body and the military position of Cavalry Commander Qian for nothing. It took him nearly three months of recovery to fully recover his body. , which shows how ruthless Zhang Yan was at the beginning.
These three months were also the most painful days in Zhang Cheng's life!
At first, he didn't understand everything in front of him and didn't know what was going on.
Fortunately, having lived in two lifetimes, he did not appear overly frightened or flustered. Instead, he calmly and secretly explored everything in this unknown world, silently thinking alone.
Later, gradually, a trace of the remaining memories of the original owner were recovered from this body, and he also learned some information about this new world and some information about the original owner of this body from his subordinates who came to visit him.
Moreover, during this period of time, his uncle Zhang Yan had been taking care of him as a fake nephew in his own home, and did not dare to tell his widowed sister-in-law what happened.
Zhang Cheng also used this opportunity to learn a lot about himself from the aunt who took care of him.
He pretended that he was confused by the fever and had forgotten many things from the past, so he always chatted with his aunt and took the opportunity to inquire about everything related to him. The aunt was also worried and did not doubt that he was there, so she told everything she knew. I told Zhang Cheng everything about May 10th.
Zhang Cheng was just forty years old before he traveled through time. After years of experience in society, there is nothing he can't let go of or think about. Although his thoughts about his parents, wife and children in his previous life are always lingering in his mind, the reality has become like this, so what's the point of just thinking about it? What to use?
The most important thing now is to accept the reality, silently endure the pain of longing, and then find a way to live strong!
And as his body recovered day by day, he felt that his body was extremely strong and seemed to have endless strength. He didn't feel unfamiliar with bows, horses, and battle formations, but his movements were a little stiff and not very coordinated. Everyone was familiar with it. He was advised not to do these things as he was just recovering from a serious illness, but he didn't really care.
Slowly he accepted this reality. After recovering his health, he lived in the military camp and practiced with these subordinates every day in order to get familiar with them and strive to make some changes in the Battle of Julu.
He knew that when he entered Wei Gyeonggi, he couldn't do it without going. Even if he knew he would die, he still had to go, because if he didn't go at this time, he would be disobeying the order and would be beheaded, or even implicate the family, so he could only adapt to the situation. , try to find ways to deal with them, take it one step at a time.
His biggest wish now is to come back alive from Julu. The best thing is to come back with more parts, so that he can have the capital to settle down in this world.
His current strength is too weak. Without a strong foundation, he cannot survive in the cannibalistic world of the late Ming Dynasty, let alone the idea of changing this hellish world.
Now I can only adapt to the development of the situation, strive to make the ending a little better, and look forward to being able to do what I think is right in the future.
…
It was not long after noon.
From a distance, I saw smoke and dust flying in front of me, and five fast horses galloping towards me, gradually approaching the mountain.
After a while, Zhang Guangda, the commander of the left sentry, rode up on his horse, dismounted in front of Zhang Cheng, and reported: "General sir, the sentry cavalry reported that the advance of Lu Duchen's army is less than ten miles away."
"Okay, give me the order to assemble the team and follow me to meet Lu Duchen and the generals." Zhang Cheng said and got on his horse.
The guards on the mountainside also got on their horses, and their movements were vigorous and neat. They followed Zhang Cheng on their horses and ran down the mountain.
Zhang Cheng rode down the hill and came to the official road. He sat on his horse and waited for the knights on the left sentry to form a team.
Soon, all the knights got on their horses, and according to the two commanders, each team had finished forming and stood on the official road with their horses, while the sentry commander Zhang Guangda was beside Zhang Cheng.
"Send orders to all teams to get out of the way." Zhang Cheng ordered.
As the military order was conveyed, the two generals of cavalry gathered together. More than 200 capable cavalry stood behind Zhang Cheng on horseback.
Zhang Cheng told the sentry commander Zhang Guangda: "Guangda, when the army comes, you will lead the army in front and lead the way for the army."
After saying that, he rode his horse and led the twenty cavalry guards, galloping away towards the army from Xuan, Da, and Shanxi in front of him to aid the capital.
