CHAPTER XVI
Zhao Mengsong felt a trace of fear, and personally took people to Fu Sitou to post that day, but no one expected that people rushed out to take people directly, and the Fuzhong family and a few stewards who came with him were tied up by a rope and did not know where to go, and he himself was escorted to the ship. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info at first wanted to show his identity to make the other party have scruples, but when he found out, let alone the chief officer, he couldn't even see a serious general, and all the people who took care of him were some big soldiers, how could people reason with you, so he stopped, and instead worried about his own safety.
At this time, he really understood what it meant to 'show only when he met a soldier, and he couldn't explain it reasonably', every time there was any bump in the boat, or the speed suddenly slowed down, he would think about whether he wanted to deal with himself? After all, there will be traces of everything you do on land, how can it be convenient to put it directly into a bag and throw it into the sea, and in this kind of uneasiness, the sea ship stopped in a harbor, and when he was allowed to go out of the cabin to watch, he felt that people did not necessarily want their own lives.
Qinzhou Bay, the water area is not large, but the islands in the bay are scattered, and there are many harbors, so so so many sea ships want to land one by one, they can only go slowly, in order to speed up, those who cannot anchor in the bay only need to anchor in the bay, and then use small boats to transport the sergeants one by one. Zhao Mengsong was surprised to find that all the people on the boat had gone down, and even the sergeant who escorted him was gone, but no one came to call him.
"Zhao Gongzi, this official Jiang Cai, you may have heard of it." Zhao Mengsong looked back in amazement and looked at this sturdy man who was supposed to be transferred.
"I'll give you two choices right now." Jiang Cai was not interested in caring about his thoughts, and continued to take care of himself: "First, go back with the ship, work with your subordinates, do as much work as you want, eat as much food as you want, and you won't starve to death." ”
Hearing such blatant threatening words for the first time, Zhao Mengsong tried his best to suppress his heart, suppressing those anger, doubts, and even fears, but he still couldn't stop the natural reaction of his body, if it wasn't for his hand holding the side of the ship, he was afraid that it would have been paralyzed.
"These two, Fu Si lacks a literate paperwork, if you are willing to give in, go with a certain person, do some secretary work first, and when Fu Shuai arrives, he will arrange your errand, how about it?"
Is there a choice for this, Zhao Mengsong gritted his teeth tightly, and he didn't dare to look at the other party, the meaning of Jiang Cai's words was very clear, all this was arranged by the new Lu Chen, why? He doesn't know anything now, but if he is really sent back, he won't say anything about whether he will suffer or not, but I'm afraid that he will never have a chance to learn the truth again.
"It's all in this field, you can say whatever you want."
For his careful thoughts, Jiang Cai didn't care, when all the people went ashore, the trouble had just begun, among these 20,000 people, there were not only recruits who had just enlisted in the army and didn't understand any rules~, but also Yiren who couldn't even speak, and Yuanren prisoners of war who didn't know what their ideas were, not to mention the chaos, even if it was a queue, it was a headache, if it wasn't for him personally leading three thousand cavalry to patrol outside, I am afraid that the camp would have collapsed long ago.
In Jiang Cai's eyes, this group of people with no clothes and armor and sticks, let alone soldiers, are not even a rabble, and these cavalry under their command can be driven into the sea with a single impact, and the most important thing now is not technology and tactics, but military discipline, which is forbidden by order.
So under his fierce gaze, these people slowly lined up in a bunch of shapes that could barely be called 'arrays', Jiang Cai didn't get angry, just raised his wrist to look at the pointer on it, and gave an order to Zhao Mengsong beside him.
"Write it down, it's an hour and three quarters today."
Zhao Mengsong replied in a daze, then took out a charcoal pen and wrote it down in a booklet, he didn't understand what the intention was.
Next, there was no march as he imagined, everyone according to the command as a unit, outside the city of Anyuan County, Qinzhou Prefecture, began to build a camp, this kind of kung fu is not much different from the work they used to work on the island, it is naturally handy, according to the habit of Song Yihan grouping, by the time the sun is about to set, the general camp has already taken shape, at least there is no need to spend the night in the field.
This meal was not sent with the ship, but the Qinzhou local area that got the news took the initiative to donate, not only grain and rice, but also pigs and sheep were driven more than ten heads, and the leader of the line was Anyuan County Cheng, and when I asked, I knew that the chief officer in the state had taken a few soldiers to Yongzhou, just a little earlier than the time when they landed.
Eating coarse rice, sleeping on a mattress like broken skin, the tent was full of snoring, and the smell in his nose was full of stench. Under the starlight in the sky, there are large and small fires everywhere, although it is not cold in the south, but this month, the night is still a little cool, he walked around so often to know that there is a tent is already a great preferential treatment, because most of the soldiers, are lying on the ground, if it is not for the patrol walking around, the torches are lit at the gate of the camp, and I think it is the displaced people who have been affected by the disaster and have fled to escape.
Thinking about it like this, his heart suddenly collapsed a little, what is the importance of such a camp, it is a matter of finding an open space everywhere to solve, but he wants to move again and again, almost to the edge of the camp, seeing that no one has walked by, and then he picks up his pants and prepares to get out of the water, this is a long time, and even with the tension and panic of the day rushed out.
Before he could finish venting happily, a black shadow appeared in his sight, so frightened that he couldn't care about pickling on the ground, he squatted down with his pants up, and watched the people out of the camp in a daze, and when he was hesitating to shout, a familiar tone sounded around him.
"Fourth, the three of you are heading towards you, let's move from a distance, don't make too much of a move."
After saying this, Jiang Cai took a strange thing from his head, patted him on the shoulder, and the words that came out made him tremble.
"If you want to escape, this will not work, you have to go in the middle of the night, this left near Duoyi people, if they are caught in the wrong direction, they can sell people overseas, and then they will really not be able to come back."
Zhao Mengsong stood there trembling for a long time, suddenly felt extremely frightened, and hurriedly touched the tent arranged for him, and fell asleep, this sleep somehow never woke up, until the camp was boiling, it was already the morning of the second day.
When he came out with the soldiers in the tent, and was cleared up by the wind, he found that the camp had already begun to line up. Xu is everyone slept together, this time the speed was obviously faster, and when he came to Jiang Cai, who was standing at the gate of the camp, the latter was already looking at his watch.
"Write down, it's an hour today."
When the chaotic noise quieted down, he turned his head and whispered, fortunately, Zhao Mengsong had been vigilant, so he didn't miss his orders, Jiang Cai took a big horn from a personal soldier after saying it, slapped it twice on it, making a 'buzzing' muffled sound, and then put it to his mouth.
"Since you have eaten and rested, you will be a soldier of the Great Song Dynasty from this moment on, although the official is very skeptical, whether you can go into battle, but right now, what the official wants to say is that from here to the city of Yongzhou, how many of you people are still alive!"
There was a slight commotion in the unneatly lined military formation, and the sharp-eyed people suddenly saw the things tied to the wooden stakes on both sides of the camp gate, dozens of heads were raised high, and they looked at them with eyes like dead fish, which made people shudder, although Jiang Cai did not say why they died, but how could these people in the camp not know, fear spread like a plague, and everyone understood that this chief officer was a murderer who did not blink, and he did not even announce the charges.
"Don't say it? The official said, "Along this road today, whether you are running or climbing, there will be someone sixty miles away. He paused, pointed to the side, and continued: "When the sun sets, if you don't see anyone yet, you don't have to run anymore, go and be with them, and finally tell you to wait." ”
"If you hear it clearly, if you don't know it, you will consider yourself unlucky, if you don't have a single person, the whole army will sit together, and if you don't get it, the whole team will sit together, and the commander will be punished, if you don't come, the official will slaughter you and then go to the top to ask for guilt, so as to save a mouthful of food for the court, so as not to fall into the hands of you waste."
In the case of basically no burden, marching sixty miles on foot is not an unattainable goal for these people, it is not that Jiang Cai is not ruthless, but things cannot be done overnight, they are really all killed, what to use to resist the enemy, but these words are heard in the ears of those soldiers, and it has another meaning, this is clearly to kill the chicken and set an example for the monkey, who wants to be the chicken?
So, along the dirt road to Yongzhou, a long marching procession could not be seen at all, and an indefinite number of cavalry were cruising on both sides of the procession, and none of the soldiers who walked with their heads down dared to take a second look, lest the evil spirits find themselves. When Zhao Mengsong went on the road, he couldn't help but sweep the piles with his eyes, it turned out that it would be like this after being killed, and he couldn't see which one he saw last night, and he forcibly suppressed the sour water that came up, and he rode his horse tightly to follow, you know, he is also a member of this team.
The itinerary of the first day was naturally the most relaxed, and when it came to the place, the only few people who fell behind still wanted to escape with ill intentions, and the result was naturally self-evident, their heads became another warning stake, and the commander was all punished from top to bottom, and the board of ten to five army sticks was not heavy, but it hit these people, and in the hearts of others, that kind of awe was a little more, which was directly reflected in the speed of the assembly the next day.
"Fund?" Zhao Mengsong waited for a while and didn't hear a sound, and couldn't help but ask, "How long is today?" ”
"Five quarters." Jiang Cai still had an expressionless face.
From Qinzhou to Yongzhou for more than 200 miles, he was given only three days, so it was naturally impossible to run only 60 miles a day, so on the second day, this distance became 100 miles. There is no need for him to warn anything, the whole brigade is in accordance with the command of the unit, and rushes forward in unison, after all, it is just a runaway, and there is enough food to eat, no one can afford to die for this, and when he arrived at the camp to check, he finally did not escape or fall behind, when the results came out, the whole army actually felt that there was a burst of cheers, Zhao Mengsong peeked at Jiang Cai, and his fleeting smile made him almost think that it was just an illusion.
On the last day, when the tall Yongzhou City was in sight, the sun was still hanging in the sky, Jiang Cai on the side of the horse saw that his team finally had a trace of military appearance, no matter where the source was, there was the same excitement on his face, and to change from a rookie to an old pawn, it was impossible to rely on training, and he could only go into battle to see blood, and only those who survived were qualified.
Just when this team approached Yongzhou City, a group of people and horses ran out of the open city gate, the first was the chief official of Benzhou, Yongzhou Fufu made Ma Chengwang, and next to him was his son Du Tong Ma Yinglin, plus dozens of personal soldiers, because it was on their own territory, the banner was not played, Ma Chengwang's face was full of surprise, and he couldn't see the comer immediately.
But when they approached the marching army, they saw those who were dressed in ordinary people's clothes, and even some of them were dressed as Yiren, and they were actually holding wooden sticks in their hands.
"Without a banner, without armor, without weapons, what is the use of such men and horses? Send it to the Yuan people to fill the battle? The more Ma Yinglin looked at it, the more he shook his head, almost putting the word disdain on his face.
"Shut up."
Ma Chengwang shouted in a low voice, although his inner thoughts were similar to his son's, but there was no trace of expression on his face, no matter how many people came were what he urgently needed at the moment, not to mention that the number of people here had exceeded his expectations, and when he waited for an oncoming group of cavalry, he knew that the grade was not low when he looked at the armor first, and this smile was infinitely magnified.
"This official Jiang Cai, I don't know if you are the envoy of Qionghai and the envoy, I don't know you...... Which one is Ma Zhaofu? ”
"It turned out to be Jiang Zhaofu, disrespectful and disrespectful." Ma Chengwang knew who it was as soon as he heard it, as his successor, killing the cliff thieves and pacifying the pirates were all feats that were enough to boast about, but he didn't expect that people were in front of his eyes, and the original self-esteem immediately turned into enthusiasm, and he hugged his fist and arched his hand: "The official is Ma Chengwang, when he arrives here, he is the host of a certain person, can you go into the city to eat a glass of thin wine, and let a certain chat show respect." ”
"Horse beckoning, please."
Jiang Cai easily noticed the kind of eyes they looked at when they fell into their own team, not to mention that others looked down on him, but he himself was so good, but he could punish his own siblings, but he couldn't allow others to guide him, so that his face was still as enthusiastic as before, but the smile in his eyes was a little lighter.
