Chapter 43: The Battle of Armor (1)
Du Yunjin cleaned up before striding towards the main hall of the county guard's mansion, because the weather was very hot, she was not wearing armor, only wearing a light cyan men's robe, and her hair was tied in a simple bun with a hairband of the same color. Looking at it from the back alone, it is not a charming daughter, but a handsome and upright young man.
In the main hall, Rong Jingcheng and Xiao Shaokang had already taken their seats, and the other generals were also waiting for them.
Du Yunjin first confessed to Rong Jingcheng and Xiao Shaokang, but in fact, she was not late, but they all came too early. Some of the other generals were Rong Jingcheng who followed him when he was under Du Bocheng, and they were no strangers to Du Yunjin, and most of the remaining young ones were promoted by Rong Jingcheng when he was guarding southern Jiangsu, and he had heard a lot of rumors about the Du family's father and daughter, and the eyes cast at this moment were all curious.
"Now that everyone is here, let's discuss the matter of extermination." Rong Jingcheng coughed lightly twice, suppressing everyone's discussions.
"Yes, Rong Shuai." When the generals heard Rong Jingcheng's order, they all stopped discussing in an instant, and the main hall was quiet for a moment.
It's very different from what you see and hear in the court, but it's very interesting. Xiao Shaokang blinked his two innocent eyes and looked at the people in the hall, unlike Du Yunjin, his identity as a prison soldier really didn't please others.
"Rong Shuai, I have something to say." Du Yunjin took the lead and took the lead in speaking: "The weather in Changdao County is very hot, and the armor of our army is made of fine iron, which is not only heavy and breathable, but also directly affects the combat ability of the soldiers. ”
As soon as she said this, everyone began to whisper again.
"Rong Shuai, what Du Xianfeng said is reasonable." One of the young generals stood up and said to Rong Jingcheng: "Yiren originally settled on the island and is good at water warfare. Most of our troops were transferred from southern Jiangsu and other places, and they were good at fighting on the plains. Our soldiers are dressed in heavy armor, and once they are led into the water by the Yiren, it will be a dead end. In addition, the weather in Long Island County is special, and most of our soldiers cannot adapt to such hot weather. ”
"But if you don't have armor, how can you dodge the enemy's spear and sword?" Another slightly older general also stepped forward to refute the situation. "If you don't use armor, what do you use to protect yourself?"
Someone took the lead, and the hall immediately became lively, and the generals were divided into two factions and had a lively discussion. One faction supported Du Yunjin's idea of abandoning armor, and the other faction insisted on using armor.
Rong Jingcheng saw that there was no conclusion about the noisy noise, so he had to wave his hand and let everyone go first.
"Du Xianxian, please stay."
Du Yunjin stopped when he heard the sound, turned around and waited aside, waiting for others to leave.
"You, you learned from Qing Ruofeng so weirdly, and as soon as you came, you tossed my military camp and made a lot of noise."
There were only Rong Jingcheng and Du Yunjin left in the hall, and Rong Jingcheng spoke as usual. He dotingly took Du Yunjin's hand and looked carefully left and right. At the age of seventeen, he went to the imperial capital to seek refuge in Wu Zhuangyuan, because he met Du Bocheng, was impressed by Du Bocheng's knowledge and martial arts, and was willing to follow Du Bocheng to garrison the frontier and contribute to the stability of the country.
As for Du Yunjin, Rong Jingcheng almost watched her grow up little by little, but when Du Yunjin was ten years old, he was transferred to southern Jiangsu by the imperial court, so in his memory, Du Yunjin was still the little girl with pigtails. Unexpectedly, I haven't seen her for a few years, Du Yunjin has not only grown into a down-to-earth and generous girl, but also married and become the crown princess.
"Uncle Rong."
"Well, that's what it sounds like." Rong Jingcheng lost his wife at an early age, has been living alone and has never remarried, and has no children under his knees, and has loved Du Yunjin very much since he was a child. I think that at the beginning, Du Yunjin, the little devil, was taken by Qing Ruofeng to run around the Crescent City, and he guaranteed to be punished by Du Bo several times.
"If Uncle Rong likes to hear it, I will call it that when no one is here in the future." After Du Yunjin married into the East Palace, he never had the opportunity to see his relatives, and even when he saw Qing Ruofeng that year, he glanced at it in a hurry, where was there such an opportunity to speak softly.
"Good. But what do you think about the extermination? ”
"I received a military order in front of my father, and I swore not to return to Beijing if I didn't destroy the people." Du Yunjin's expression was grim, and he started in the hall. "The scourge of destroying people is too widespread, and it stands to reason that we should immediately meet them and get rid of them all. But I saw that my uncle's war report called the people cunning, and if you beat him, he would leave, and if you left, he would fight, and it was very difficult. I have an idea in my mind, but I don't know if I can implement it, and I need to think about it again. ”
"This Yiren!" Rong Jingcheng slammed his cone on the table at the mention of Yiren, he had not encountered such a difficult opponent in his years of fighting. If it's just difficult, it's fine, but these Yi people don't have any civilization and education, even the dog Rong who has always been thirsty for killing is brighter than them. "These Yi people are really hateful, as soon as they come ashore, they will burn, kill and loot, do everything, Changdao County originally had a population of tens of thousands, and now there are only more than 10,000 left."
"So vicious?" Du Yunjin had seen the dog Rong, and they had also looted Crescent City several times, but they were not cruel. In this way, whether she has a military order or not, she is bound to destroy these thieves completely.
"Uncle, please be relieved, I will definitely come up with a proper way." Du Yunjin arched his hand to Rong Jingcheng, "Right now, please ask my uncle to still abide by the fishing ban, so that those Yi people can't enter Changdao County and can't grab anything." ”
"At present, we can only hold on to Long Island County." Rong Jingchang sighed for a long time, the scene when he first arrived in Changdao County was vivid, these Yi people actually ate human flesh raw, and there were countless dead bodies inside and outside Long Island County, like hell. All he could do was keep those Yiren out of the gates of Long Island County, so that they could no longer enter.
Du Yunjin gently closed the door, and unsurprisingly looked at Xiao Shaokang with a slightly anxious look.
"Rong Shuai is embarrassed for you?" Xiao Shaokang blurted out such words, and only then did he spark a debate in the hall because of Du Yunjin's words, and Rong Jingcheng left her alone, he thought that he must be reprimanded or even scolded by her. Rest assured, he waited at the door of the main hall, just to see her well.
Seeing his anxious appearance, Du Yunjin felt a little proud in his heart for some reason. She smiled faintly at him and said, "If you want to know, come with me." ”
Different from the light smile in the East Palace, her smile is faint but bright, and when she returns to the barracks, she is like a fish returning to the sea, and her temperament is much more lively than before, and she slowly accepts his quiet approach.
"Not leaving?"
"Of course!" Xiao Shaokang also raised a smile, followed behind Du Yunjin, and walked towards the outside of the county guard's mansion.
