Chapter 410: The Princes' Encounter
Western Regions, Grain Road Station,
A plainly decorated carriage approached slowly
"Your Highness, after a day's journey, there is a post station in front of us, let's stop and rest for the night, right?" The young man who was driving the car said with a sharp voice.
"Hmm." The interior of the car responded only to a slight nasal sound.
The man who was driving the carriage had a happy look on his face, and hurriedly pulled his horse and drove towards the post station.
As soon as the carriage approached the gate of the post station, the coachman couldn't help but be stunned, only to see that a similar carriage had already stopped in the courtyard.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid someone arrived before us."
The man in the car quietly lifted a corner of the door curtain when he heard this. Although the carriage was about the same length, there were still some differences after all, and when he saw the decorations on it that were obviously added later, the man muttered, "Big brother? ”
He shook his head, not taking it to heart. The places where the two are going are not far apart, and it is not unusual to meet here.
"It's the fourth brother?"
As soon as the man in the car opened the door curtain, a man in a brocade robe leaned against the door frame and looked at the man who was about to get off the car with a smile on his face.
The man in the carriage did not speak, still looked cold, took the groom's arm and got out of the car, straightened his clothes, and walked slowly in front of the man.
"Little brother meets big brother!"
The brocade-clothed man looked at each other up and down a lot, smacking his lips, and seemed to be very disgusted with the other party's shabby clothes. Seeing the other party's calm eyes again, a trace of displeasure flashed between his eyebrows.
"I often hear people say that the fourth brother has a cold temperament, and he has always only cared about the people and things he is interested in, and it is true when I see it today."
"That's because the eldest brother doesn't bother to take care of the younger brother on weekdays, otherwise you and my brother are only separated by more than 100 meters in the dormitory, why don't you know my character?"
The man saluted again, and walked straight inside, as if he didn't bother to say a word to the other party. And through this conversation, it is not difficult to see that these two are the two brothers Tang Hao and Tang Hui who are also going to work.
clenched his fists and resisted the urge to beat Tang Hui, Tang Hao reluctantly put on a fairly gentle smile on himself, turned around and followed.
"Fourth brother, it's true that my brother is slacking off on weekdays. No, as soon as I heard that you and my brother went to work together, I specially prepared a banquet for my brother at this post station, and waited for you for a few days. ”
"Oh? How many days? Isn't this banquet rancid? It's okay not to eat it. "Tang Hui choked on death, and he didn't pay for his life.
"Rancid...... Rancid...... Redo it if it's rancid! Tang Hao reluctantly picked up the conversation.
"Redo?" Tang Hui seemed to have heard something of interest, and for the first time there was a slight look in his eyes when he looked at Tang Hao, "You are so profligate, you must have a lot of gold and silver." But as far as I know, you and my brothers are not allowed to carry anything extra except a carriage and a thousand taels of silver. This banquet is not worth a few dollars, but
After all, it is worth a lot of money, and if a thousand taels of silver are squandered like this, I am afraid that it will not be able to reach any place at all. But you don't care, there are only two possibilities, either you're an idiot or you just have some other money. I don't know which one the big brother is? ”
"I ...... I ......"
Tang Hao: I was stunned for a long time, but I didn't come out for a reason. What can he say? Admitting you're an idiot? That certainly can't be; Admitting that you have other money? Even if he didn't admit it with his front foot, his back foot would have to be taken away by the people of Dingtian Pavilion.
"Uninteresting." Tang Hao couldn't speak for a long time, Tang Hui flicked his sleeves and turned around and left, "If Tang Jin's cousin is here again, he will definitely be able to pick me up, you are too boring." ”
"Fourth brother stays!"
As soon as Tang Hui mentioned Tang Jin, Tang Hao reacted to his purpose of intercepting him this time, and hurriedly grabbed him.
"I don't know what the fourth brother has plans for Tang Jin?"
Tang Hui tilted her head and looked at him, "What, what's your idea?" Each is in charge of its own county. ”
Tang Hao was stunned for a moment, and said bitterly: "Fourth brother, you ...... Don't want to...... Deal with him? ”
"He didn't provoke me, so why deal with him?" Tang Hui said innocently.
"I'm ......" Tang Hao promised that if he hadn't killed this guy now, he would have died with him, he would really not hesitate to do it.
"He's ...... He's hurt your aunt! Don't you hate him? ”
"Why should I hate him? I haven't even seen the face of that so-called aunt, what is there to hate? Tang Hui said indifferently, "Don't talk about me, isn't my uncle Xu Youquan also working well with Tang Jin?" That's his own sister. ”
"You...... I ...... "At this moment, Tang Hao really doesn't know what to say." It has always been rumored in the palace that the fourth prince Tang Hui has a strange temperament, and he does not pay for his life, he didn't take it to heart before, but now he understands it.
"Is there anything else going on with Big Brother? If not, I'll go to dinner, and I'll have to rest quickly after eating, and I'll have to hurry tomorrow. ”
The mouth was asking, but Tang Hui's movements were not slow, and after the last sentence was finished, the whole person had already walked into a box, completely eliminating Tang Hao's idea of wooing.
"Oh, that's hilarious."
Just as Tang Hao was trying to stabilize his emotions, a voice came in that he didn't want to hear.
"Why are you here?" Tang Hao stared at the figure who had just stepped out of the carriage with unkind eyes. That person was Tang Yun, who was separated from Tang Jin by a mountain from the assessment place
Hearing the other party's words, Tang Yun looked left and right in a daze, and finally pointed to himself, as if he was sure.
"Why can't I come?" Tang Yun looked at him with a strange expression, "The time for our princes to set off is about the same, what's so strange about this hurry and that slow down on the road?" Besides, this is the only post station at the intersection of the two counties, so where am I going? ”
"How can you get lucky?" Tang Dynasty
Hao said viciously. If the fourth child can go, he won't say anything, his uncle is the secretary of the military department, and the grain transportation road is his own private road. I also relied on the relationship of the eldest grandson's family, and spent a lot of money to ask for a name to carry grain with him. But why are you a guy? In terms of maternal power and financial resources, you are no match for me?
"My aunt is Huo Yinghong." Tang Yun looked at Tang Hao like an idiot. "Oh yes, it's normal that you don't know. That's the case, the first batch of arquebuses in Datang will be officially installed soon, and at that time my aunt's soldiers will be the first batch of musketeers in Datang. In addition, the second batch of muskets was given priority to the regiment that had completed the basic training of musketeers, so it was ...... My aunt became the object of everyone's stitching. After all, Tang Jin was not there, only her soldiers had undergone systematic training. ”
After that, Tang Yun shrugged his shoulders ostentatiously, that look was really not beaten.
"Hmph, bunch of idiots! This second batch of muskets must be mounted on the legions of the Eastern Regions first, how could Tang Jin lose his own family? Tang Hao expressed full disdain for the idiotic behavior of those generals.
"You'd be wrong, the Eastern Regions have withdrawn." Tang Yun's words instantly made Tang Hao stunned, "You still don't know?" That's right, you're gone by then. The uncle personally wrote a note to his father, and the Eastern Regions Army was not equipped with arquebuses. ”
"This ...... That's impossible! Tang Hao said in disbelief, "In this way, the strongest name of the Eastern Regions Legion must exist in name only, how can he ......?"
Tang Hao said and slammed suddenly, as if he had thought of something. Tang Yun on the side also looked at him with a smile, "It seems that you are not stupid, you have thought of the key." Everyone knows what Tang Jin's character is. Anything good must be used by his own family first, but now he is willing to take out something as good as an arquebus, and ask his father to give up the equipment, what does it mean? ”
"It means that they have a better ......," Tang Hao said subconsciously.
At this moment, if Tang Jin was here, I am afraid that he would not be able to help but applaud them, what these two guys said was simply too right.
From the moment he gave his arquebus, Tang Jin thought about the equipment for his own legion. Anyway, the popularization of firearms is already imperative, so simply give your own army a step in place.
So this guy directly sent a letter, so that Tang Duo and the Khan Meng tribe were connected, and directly loaded the family legion with a 38 rifle. Although it is not as powerful as modern firearms, compared to the arquebus, the 38 rifle is afraid that it will not be able to hit the opposite side of the grandfather.
It can be said that if firearms are not installed, the gap between everyone is not too big, and firearms are installed...... The gap is the difference between missiles and rifles.
To be honest, if it weren't for Khanmeng's productivity and technical level, Tang Jin really wanted to give the Eastern Regions Legion a few cars of "Katyusha" to play with. When the time comes...... returned the son of ten thousand sons to take a skin, directly leveled the so-called Dingtian Pavilion, put those old guys on the rocket, and let the disobedient ones fly, to see who dared to object.
