Chen Xin said calmly: "If Sun Guozhen can stay in his position until July and August, we won't be able to eat his money." Then we'll kill more robbers. We will ask Sun Guozhen to promote me to a person as knowledgeable as money and earn him a lot of money. I don't think he would have refused. The War Ministry had the money to take care of him. What's so difficult about being a sentry?"

Song Wenxian's eyes rolled. "If Brother Chen doesn't want this Wendeng battalion, the general of the Deng Lai battalion will bypass it. ”

"You mean Yang Guodong?"

"Yes. ”

Because Chen Xin has been in the guard system, Commander-in-Chief Denglai can't manage it here. He just needs to take care of the civil servants in charge of the army. The current general is Yang Guodong. Chen Xin also received news from Wei Shuo.

"This man turned out to be a guard of the Shandong Overseer. When Xu Hongru's Wenxiang Sect fell into chaos, Yang Guodong was defeated first. Later, he led the army with a lot of merit. He escorted Xu Hongru and others to Beijing to sacrifice prisoners. Later, he worked his way up the ranks. He served as the commander-in-chief of Shanhai and Nankou. He was the commander of Denglai in the sixth year of the Apocalypse. Later, he served as the commander of Tianqi for six years. Later, he served as the commander-in-chief of Denglai County. He was the correct commander of the later military commander-in-chief

Chen Xinluo was a little moved: "This Yang Guodong still made military contributions and promotions, which is also quite good." ”

Song Wenxian said with a smile: "There are some military achievements, but nothing. Wen Xiang only taught the demon soldiers a thug. His promotion depended on making good friends with the Wei rebellion, and providing countless gold and silver every year, which was a smooth career. ”

Chen Xin smiled and said, "Yes." How can he make money?"

"It's not the same thing as eating empty pay. In addition, some Liao people who had crossed the ocean were also impatient and returned to Dongjiang Island. ”

"It's a pity that these Liao people have given me so much. Since Yang Guodong is also a group of people who defend the country, it is difficult to say whether he can protect himself this time. It's better to make friends slowly. ”

Yang Guodong gave Chen Xin the impression that he was a commander with great ability to be an official and a little capable of fighting. He demanded money from the people, or paid nothing, which is what most officials are doing now. This kind of person is also very good at making friends, but Yang Guodong's own situation is still uncertain, and Chen Xin has not yet entered the camp, so let it go for the time being.

Hearing this, Song Wenxian smiled and said: "Yang Guodong still has thousands of Liao people in his hands, all of whom he holds and labors. If Brother Chen wants to buy it from him. ”

"I want to visit him. ”

"Does Brother Chen really want to buy Liaoren?"

Of course, Mr. Song said that the Liao people are very strong, very hardworking, and hate sword slaves the most. I want such soldiers. ”

Seeing Chen Xin's half of the ring, Song Wenxian shook his head and said, "Brother Chen originally said that he was going to fight with the sword slave, but now it doesn't seem like a joke. I can't guess what you're doing. I hate to say that, but if Brother Chen really wants to keep the guards of the Wendeng Camp and give you an idea, you can rely on the sword slave leader

"Where can I find it?"

"Where else is there toast besides Dongjiang? You can buy it from Dongjiang Town at a high price. The imperial court only gave them 321 taels. If you give them two or three hundred taels, the strange thing is that these poor people in Dongjiang don't sell it. ”

"It's too expensive!?Xiao Jiahua's head and body are only ten taels!"

"Kill!" Zhou Shaoer rushed forward with a knife and a stick in his hand. After running more than ten steps, he swept a two-foot-tall wooden stick and smashed it on the ground. With the sound of the wind, the two-meter-long knife and stick smashed the wooden stick to the ground with a snap. Then he hit the top of a four-foot-tall stick next to him. After hitting it again, he took a few steps to the side and killed the two-inch-long blade at the end of the stick - the chest position of a straw-like target.

"Qualified. Captain Huang Yuan next to him shouted, "29 times, take a break." After Zhou Shaoer put up the two sticks again, he slowly returned to the starting position, rested, and prepared to repeat it again. He was still a firefighter, but the original firefighters of the other three combat teams had turned into other weapons and became real soldiers. Now Zhou Shaoer's brigade officer is Huang Yuan, the former captain Wang Changfu and Commander Wu Zheng Sanhu have all gone to lead the recruits, and then three people were transferred from other teams, and the first team was added. They are the last remaining veteran team. They all took part in the last anti-bandit operation.

Zhou Shaoer has already practiced swords, sticks, and swords and shields. He loved it more than a dozen and a knife. According to Dai Zheng, a training officer who trained step by step, all other movements should be used on the battlefield. Zhou touched a long convex bar on the handle of the stick, which marked the direction of the blade of the stick head, so as to avoid hitting the enemy's head with the plane of the blade during night strikes.

Zhou Shaoer stood at the starting point again, looking at the three goals in front of him. The two-foot stick is the horse's leg, and the four-foot stick is the horse's head (Note 1). The humanoid target is to practice assassination. The three main functions of the shank are realized, and each group has three objectives. It is said that several instructors were still discussing the action of smashing people after Gama.

They are veterans with little basic formation training. However, team offense and defensive practice take up most of the time, and there is more time for individual skills. Zhou can now learn two weapons from him. Since he arrived in Weihai, his physique has become much stronger. Although the stick is heavy, he has to fight hundreds of times a day, but he can still hold on.

With a loud bang, Zhong Laosi rushed out like Zhou Xiaoer. After hitting his target, he was stronger than Zhou Shaoer. The knives and sticks were swiftly removed. He bumped into a four-foot-long stick ten paces away. Zhou Shaoer smacked his lips secretly. Elder Zhong Si was originally a long knife hand, but Lord Chen canceled the long knife. At the beginning, Zhong Laosi was very tired of the stick. He used to say that he was comfortable with a long knife. After being deducted twice by Huang Yuan, he stopped nagging.

Unsurprisingly, those who fought were more brutal. Zhou Xiaoer had to admit that Zhong Laosi was stronger than himself, but he was already on the battlefield. He squinted at the armband sewn into his left arm. There is a mountain-shaped armband, which was designed by Lord Chan to commemorate the first battle. With this, he is not a recruit.

As soon as Zhou Shaoer thought of the recruits, he looked up at the foot of the mountain in the distance. A group of recruits are training. More than 200 people were divided into nearly 20 groups. Slogans appeared one after the other. There were instructors who beat people in the ranks with sticks. These recruits are paid only 5 yuan a month. It is said that no one gives up because of their hard work, and fishermen work hard, but they are not good at walking in queues. After a long period of training, most of them still can't tell the difference between left and right, and the slogans don't sound very well. They suffered much more corporal punishment for this than the original group of boat followers.

"I'm not bad. "Zhou Shaoer has a sense of superiority. Although he wasn't as strong as the others, he was one of the fastest to learn to listen to slogans. He was not beaten for it.

"Xiao Zhou, you've been thinking about your mother-in-law for so long. Huang Yuan's anger came from front of him. Zhou Shaoer was very excited. Fortunately, Huang Yuan did not come out with a military stick. He soon had some kind of spirit and took a deep breath. He was about to rush out. Suddenly, Huang Yuan shouted again: "All line up!"

Zhou Shaoer's feet are ready to wait. They were all nervous and were about to be released. Huang Yuan's cry made him flustered. The dog eats poop and falls to the ground. Everyone else ran to Huang Yuan's side and lined up. Zhou was up quickly. He couldn't even wipe the mud off his face and stood at the end of the line. "Stand up!" Zhou Shaoer quickly straightened his chest. He leaned the knife on his right hand. He put his left hand close to his pants. He looked ahead and saw Dai Zhenggang hobbling in front of him. He stood at the front of the line like an iron tower.

After Huang Yuan ordered the whole team to salute, Dai Zheng just saluted back and began to talk to them, "The first killer team of the killer team, the only killer team is all veterans. You are Mr. Chen's only remaining killer team. Recruits begin training tomorrow. Your first killer team will train as an opponent. Later, they will be called the blue team. This is the team number set by Mr. Chen. It can't be changed. I'm not happy, that's joy. Don't be ashamed of the veteran. That's it, Captain Huang, keep walking. ”

Dai Zheng said a few words and left. Huang Yuan was a little confused. After a while, he came up to them and said, "Everybody heard. We're going to be this blue team. We'll work hard. If we can't defeat these recruits who can't walk well, where am I going to put my face? If I lose face, don't think too well. Plus, I'm going to train for more night walks tonight, 5 miles round trip. Do you have any questions?"

Zhong Laosi raised his hand, and Huang Yuan looked at him, "Zhong Laosi is not allowed to speak, you are his mother's complaint." ”

Everyone else held back smiles. The fourth elder was angry, but he didn't dare to say anything. He had to put his hand down.

"If not, continue to train individual skills, disband. ”

"Blue team? How can I raise a tiger or a leopard?" Zhou said in his heart.

Note 1: In "The Art of Collecting Filial Piety", the training stick for beating the horse's head is four feet, about 1.25 meters. According to current statistics, the average height of Mongolian horses is 125135 cm. It can be inferred that Mongolian horses at that time were about the same height. Chen Xin slowly walked out of the Dengzhou Shuicheng Coastal Defense Official Hall. He led his soldiers along the eastern wall to Zhenyang Gate. Passing by a group of porters, he heard that it was a Liaodong accent. It seems that Yang Guodong has caught a lot. After entering the city, he went to see Sun Guozhen first. The adult who had been a Dutch ghost was even more emaciated. He felt uncomfortable when he took office. He was polite to the anti-castration hero Chen Xin. He asked him about the incident that happened last year when the Wei dynasty fell. Chen Xin only said that it was because Lu saw Yang Weiyuan assassinated. Sun Guozhen didn't ask much about this. A few days ago, he also asked Chen Xin how to suppress the bandits. Wei Haiwei's pamphlet of meritorious service came out, and he also knew it. Chen Xin told him a little about the process. Mr. Sun praised him several times and gave Chen Xin a set of armor with mountain tattoos, and after Chen Xin came out of the Governor's Mansion, he went to Shuicheng to meet Zhongdaotai and talk about the goods he bought. Zhong Daodae listened to Chen Xin's report with satisfaction and did not urge Chen Xin to go to sea as soon as possible.

In order to avoid Sun Guozhen's suspicion, Song Wenxian did not enter the city with Chen Xin, but went home by himself. After Chen Xin left Shuicheng from Zhenyang Gate, he came to Song Wenxian's house humming a song.

Song Wenxian looked sad, pushed open the door, and led Chen Xin to the study. Chen Xin looked around the door, but did not see Xiao Jiahua. After closing the door of the study, he happily handed Song Wenxian a ticket for the meeting. Song Wenxian took 20,000 taels from Tianjin. Chen Xin was a little surprised and asked, "This is given by Sun Guozhen." He wants to participate in these two ships, and Lord Bi Zhong Mr. Song doesn't want to know why he wants to participate in these two ships?"

Song Wenxian snorted: "A few days ago, he took my eldest son and Xiao Jiahua to the office. ”

Chen Xin suddenly realized that it was Sun Guozhen who noticed that Song Wenxian was too close to him. Song Wenxian glanced at Chen Xin fiercely and said, "Li Song has never been like this before. It's all about celebrating the New Year for you. ”
