273 [Young man in the army]
Time has blinked into August, and autumn is stronger. The busiest time for the harvest has also been ushered in everywhere.
Mozhen is an important town in the northwest of the Great Jin Dynasty, located in the northernmost part of Jiaozhou, intersecting with the land of the Northern Barbarians.
It is said to be a town, but in fact, it is larger than some inland counties, and the most obvious is the city wall here. It was tall and thick, and it surrounded Mozhen like a fortress.
The guards on the city wall were patrolling for twelve hours, and there were people on the watchtower who were watching the distance at any time.
From time to time, a few teams of cavalry would go out of the city to reconnoiter around Mozhen, and within a radius of a hundred miles were his reconnaissance range, and sometimes even ran a longer distance.
Fifty miles away, on a mountain road, five soldiers were checking for signs of an unknown team passing by.
"Everything is fine here. Big Niu, Eizo, how are you doing over there? A veteran, who looked about forty years old, yelled at the other side of the trail.
"No problem, it's normal." A young man with a beard yelled in response.
The other young man next to the young man didn't say anything, but just swept around again.
"Then let's go back!" The veteran said.
The group returned to the place where their horses were, got on their horses, and returned to Mozhen in a short time.
Having handed over today's errand, the two young men came out of the barracks together and went to their quarters in the town.
"Third Brother Rong, why did you say that those barbarians were quiet again all of a sudden? Normal, at this time, shouldn't it be the most rampant days? ”
"Isn't it good not to come?" The young man replied.
"It's good, but. If you don't come, you won't have anywhere to make military achievements! The beard scratched his beard in annoyance, and the next moment he said with a look of adoration, "Speaking of which." It was so good the other day. Third Brother Rong, your brain is so good, who can see that you have been stupid before! ”
The bearded man just smiled and didn't explain anything.
There is no need to guess, the young man who called his brother at the young man who was younger than him no matter how he looked is a model figure of youth and old formation, classmate Li Daniu. Another. Of course, it's the stupid fat man who used to be, and it's the Rongzi period.
After coming to the Dingbei Army, in order not to be looked down upon. Li Daniu grew a beard again, and the effect was quite good, at least he blended in with a group of veteran ruffians faster than Rong Ziqi.
As for the Rongzi period, although it is only a few months. But. The little fat man from the beginning is gone. It's just that his physical fitness collapsed once, and the training when he first came was enough for him to drink a pot.
However, he is a man in two lives, his mind is strong, and he persists no matter how hard and tired he is, of course, if it is just like this. In the barracks, they can only be excluded, and there is still not much recognition.
Fortunately. He had an extraordinary talent for bows and arrows from an early age. Even if you can't show it when your health is poor before. With the improvement of his physique in the past few months, his archery ability has suddenly emerged, and he is finally overwhelming everyone, and now among these horses stationed in Mozhen, he is faintly already the first person in archery.
Moreover, although the two lives have been bedridden for decades, he has not really been lying in bed for so many years, and he has not read less military books. What's more, in the chaotic times of his previous life, he remembered the keys to various battles one by one.
At first, you may still have no practical experience. However, with the summer and autumn seasons, several tribes in the Northern Barbarians continue to be attacked, and the opportunity to exercise is naturally great.
As a member of the patrol team, there were countless opportunities to occasionally encounter and engage with small groups of northern barbarians, so he continued to learn and accumulate. Until a few days ago, a team of five of them ambushed and annihilated a barbarian squad of more than 20 people under his design.
"Third Brother Rong, are you about to be promoted!" Li Daniu asked innocently.
"Huh?" Rongzi was puzzled.
"I heard that the general of the previous battle praised you very much, isn't this to promote you?"
Rong Ziqi smiled: "How can it be so easy, you, don't think about it so much, go wash it, how much ash have you eaten outside in the past two days!" ”
With that, they had already returned to their residence, and Eiko went directly back to the room.
As soon as he entered the house, Rongzi saw Huo Shui.
"Why are you here. Although this is outside the barracks, it still belongs to the jurisdiction of the barracks, and it is not good to be discovered. Rong Ziqi locked the door with his backhand, and went to the window to look outside.
"Don't worry, Childe, with me, how can people find out." Huo Huo came out from the side.
Rong Ziqi didn't look at him and sat directly in front of Huo Shui, "Did something happen?" ”
Normally, he can completely leave the barracks once every five days, which is a normal rest day in the camp. If it weren't for the urgency, Huo Shui's steadiness would not have taken this risk.
Huo Shui didn't talk nonsense, and said solemnly: "I just received the news from Beijing, half a month ago, Prince Yu forced the palace. ”
"Prince Yu forced the palace? Didn't the matter of Prince Cheng not involve him before? Rong Ziqi wondered.
Although the same thing happened in the previous life, at that time, Emperor Xuande was seriously injured due to the assassination of Yizhou, and his health deteriorated, and the prince was in charge of the country, and Prince Yu took the opportunity to force the palace. Speaking of which, he still didn't understand at the time, why Prince Yu would be the driving force behind the scenes in Yizhou, after all, if Emperor Xuande really had an accident, there would be a prince in the court, and it would be more clear and righteous! In his previous life, he always felt that this was the dirty water splashed by the victors of history, but he didn't expect that in this life, the more he investigated, the greater the connection with Prince Yu. Before Prince Cheng had an accident, Rongzi thought that Prince Yu was going to fall, but it turned out that there was no evidence of any connection with Prince Yu.
It's just that now that there is a forced palace, people have to think again, was there really no evidence at the beginning? Or is it that the old man sitting on top is making a final test?
Eiko felt that he had not been good at these things in his two lives combined, and that he had been able to deal with it with the help of the prophet before, but as more and more things were changed by him, many things became unknowable again.
"At that time, the palace was completely sealed off for a day and a night, and later, His Majesty seemed to use thunderous means to suppress this matter, and Jingzhong was under martial law for several days, so the news came so late." As he spoke, Huo Shui also handed the paper with specific information written on it to Rong Ziqi.
The more Rong Ziqi looked at it, the tighter his brows wrinkled, "One day and one night!" Just one day and one night. It seems that our eldest prince has fallen into the pit. I just don't know what the other princes are doing in this matter except for Your Majesty? ”
"Someone's coming." Huo Huo, who had been quiet, said suddenly.
Then, there was a knock on the door.
"Third Brother Rong, I'll bring you hot water. Open the door. (To be continued.) )
