Chapter 209: The Generals Who Can't Read

Most of the guards around Huang Qiong were from military officers, and most of them were on the border and had fought with the Northern Liao cavalry. And these people themselves are all bloody men. In addition to Huang Qiong's words, one by one they followed the chicken blood, all of them stood straight.

Looking at the surrounding guards, the blood was boiling with the excitement of being teased by his own words, Huang Qiong smiled faintly and said: "This king doesn't ask about your background, as long as you don't embarrass this king when you go to the battlefield, this king will naturally never treat you badly." After the war, the king who should be promoted to the military department and the king who should be rewarded will not be stingy. ”

"This king only hopes that after you go out in the future, you will not be accused by your colleagues in the army, you are promoted by being an errand boy in the prince's palace. When you go out, you can pat yourself on the chest and tell your colleagues that everything you have earned is earned by your military exploits, and your official uniforms are dyed red with the blood of the enemy. ”

Huang Qiong's words fell, and the guards beside him had straight waists, and they were even more straight. He even stood more standard than the guards of the cavalry battalion opposite. He glared angrily, and with the hilt of the waist knife in his hand, he stood there like a group of King Kongs. The movement on this side attracted the attention of the sergeants of the cavalry battalion opposite.

And Fan Jian, who was still in the circle over there, found out at this time that he was originally used as a whetstone to beat his guards by this young prince. However, he is also an open-minded person, and Fan Jian only smiled at the intentions of this young prince and treated it indifferently.

At this moment, Huang Qiong didn't know that this scene around him also fell in the eyes of a group of people on a watchtower in the Xiaoqi camp. Seeing that although there were only twenty guards around Huang Qiong, Huang Qiong made a killing aura by Huang Qiong. Among the officials in this group of officials, on the official robe, there was a person with a third-grade military attache complement, and his brows couldn't help frowning together.

And beside him, an official in an official robe, indicating his status as a third-grade civil official, whispered on the side: "Lord Yu, although this British king is young, he looks very difficult to mess with. During his tenure in the Ministry of War, he also had contact with several princes, but he was the first one like the King of England. ”

"The guards of the various royal palaces have seen a lot of lowly duties. But like these guards of the King of England, but more than 20 people have such a murderous aura, and it is the first time I have seen a lowly position. And what worries the lowly office even more is the wrist of the British king. Not to mention anything else, there are a few guards in the British Palace, who have been transferred from our cavalry battalion. ”

"These guys have all fought in the border army, you know their character, isn't that a proud soldier? But it didn't take long for him to be tamed by the King of England to the point of obedience. This group of veteran oils was actually encouraged by him to such a point in just a few words. ”

"I think that this British king's skill is anything but ordinary. Do you want to open the camp gate and let them in first? Otherwise, if we go up afterwards, we won't be able to eat and walk away. Although the emperor's decree has not yet arrived, we have also received a letter from the Ministry of War before. It's not appropriate to just measure them outside the camp. ”

Regarding the words of this civil official, the commander of Yu beside him said: "Wang Tongzhi, we just blocked them out of the camp gate, and this will open the camp gate again to let people in, don't you want to cover it up?" What we can do now is only to the end. Otherwise, we'll be somewhere. ”

"Besides, this upstart is young and vigorous. If we lower our heads now, what if he intervenes everywhere when he enters the camp? Once we are on the battlefield, we are constrained everywhere, and if we lose the battle, how should we explain to Your Majesty? It's not that you don't know that the princes have been peeping at my four camps for a day or two. ”

"If this opening becomes a common practice, anyone can rely on the words of the military department to come to the four battalions to give advice, how do you let the generals who lead the troops in front deal with themselves? Your brother is also from the Ministry of War, and you don't know what the officials of the Ministry of War are. Is it difficult for these princes to get the text? ”

"When the time comes, something goes wrong, won't the board still hit you and me? The text is the text, the holy decree is the holy decree, and the text of the military department is not that of the Privy Council and the front division of the palace, and the cavalry battalion can not be complied with according to the custom. Now that we have done the first year of junior high school, even if we grit our teeth, we have to carry the holy decree to talk about it. Don't worry, I will take care of it alone, and I won't be able to affect you. ”

Speaking of this, the commander looked at Huang Qiong and his party outside the camp gate, sighed and said, "I only hope that this British king can be broad-minded." I don't care about anyone, don't embarrass the brethren. I hope that this British king will not interfere everywhere and let his brothers pay a senseless price on the battlefield. ”

Hearing the words of the commander, all the officials present fell silent. A few civilian-born acquaintances are better, after all, they have not been on the battlefield. But those generals felt that it was true. They are all people who have fought on the battlefield, and they know that even the slightest mistake in the march and formation will cost thousands of lives.

And a doll who has never fought a war is now serving as a Zhengzhou disposal envoy. It's good if he doesn't blindly command, but if he meddles in blind command everywhere, maybe this victory in their eyes will be turned into a big defeat. Zhengzhou is only more than 200 miles away from Jingzhao Mansion, which can be said to be close at hand.

If the cavalry battalion loses this battle, it will not only be Gyeonggi that will be shaken. If the rebels are allowed to rush to Jingzhao Mansion in one go, then it will not be the heads of a few people, but the heads of all the soldiers of the Xiaocai Battalion. People are princes and princes, so naturally they will not bear this responsibility. It's not the unfortunate ones who are the commanders.

Thinking of this, almost all the military attaches saw the deep worry in the eyes of the people around them. This is a war, not a war of those civilian officials. Even if his mouth is worn out, there is nothing to do except for his own death and the emperor's head being cut off. This is a war, and as soon as the military order is issued, the army will be broken and killed, and the command will be unfavorable, and the blood will flow on the battlefield.

And when a few people on the watchtower were silent, the slow soldier finally arrived. It's just that at this time, the means of transportation he used to rush to the Xiao Cavalry Camp has been changed from a sedan chair to a tattered donkey cart that he didn't know where he got it. This old man was also a ruthless man, and when he saw the king and his party galloping, he left himself behind.

I was afraid that it would be slow to arrive at the Xiao Cavalry Camp, which would cause him to be dissatisfied with the current Holy Dependent. Let his entourage, in a village near the official road, directly find a car to travel. It's just that horses in this era, although the price is not expensive. But because you have to eat feed, it seems a little expensive.

Just like a famous car in a few hundred years, the price may not be too expensive, but the maintenance cost is not ordinarily high. Compared with the less picky eating cattle, although it is more useful, not to mention the ordinary people's homes, even some small landlords cannot afford to raise them. In general, most farmers still use oxen to cultivate the fields.

Therefore, the imperial court controls the cattle more strictly than the people, and the number of cattle in the prefectures and counties must be included in the political performance. To slaughter a ploughing ox, it is necessary to report to the county for the measures to be agreed. However, although the number of cattle is okay, and the ox cart is easier to find, the problem is that the ox cart is not much faster than the sedan chair.

His entourage searched for a long time before he found such a donkey cart that he didn't know what to pull. Looking at this donkey cart that I didn't know what I had pulled before, and at this time it exuded a strange smell, this soldier who has been pampered for a long time and does not sit in a sedan chair when he goes out. For the sake of his official hat, he could only grit his teeth and sit up.

And the vehicles of this era, there are no shock absorption, no pneumatic tires, all are hard grounded. The stability of a donkey's cart is much worse than that of a horse or mule. I don't know what was loaded on the cart before I added it, and the comfort of this donkey cart can be imagined. In addition, this squire is in a hurry, and the embarrassment when the time comes, you can imagine it.

When he saw Huang Qiong and his party, the dignified three-grade soldier squire, the first thing he did was to vomit out all his face. But after spitting it out, his spirit was much stronger. And with his arrival, the gate of the Xiaoqi camp, which had been closed all along, was finally opened. The officials of the cavalry battalion came out under the command and leadership.

Huang Qiong just smiled faintly at the words of the commander who opened his mouth and shut up, forgave his sins, and greeted the late. Just said that it is an important place in the military camp, and since it should be the most important thing in military law, there will be no more words. There was always a faint smile on his face, which made it impossible for people to understand what he was really thinking in his heart at the moment.

It's just that this smile on his face made the generals of the Xiaocai Battalion even more bottomless in their hearts. Originally, I thought that this upstart was young and vigorous, but now I look at this city and it is deeper than the average old fox. At least what had been turned away from him didn't seem to have had any effect on him at all.

What makes the generals of the cavalry battalion even more incomprehensible is that after the British king has read out the holy decree and has actually obtained the control of the cavalry battalion, he still has a calm posture. He never interfered in the camp affairs of the Xiaoqi Battalion, and he didn't even ask. Except for liking to deal with junior military attachΓ©s and sergeants, none of the generals' previous worries came true.

Except for sleeping in a separate room, there are no special requirements for the rest of life. Even if you eat, you also carry a big bowl and go to the soldiers to eat. After eating, like those ordinary soldiers, they squatted on the ground and ate in large gulps. Although those big pots of rice didn't taste good, he had never been seen picky.

At the time of the first meal in the barracks, the British king's behavior almost scared the firehead army half to death. A dignified prince actually squatted on the ground to eat those, but in fact there was not much oil and water in the big stove. He almost couldn't believe his eyes, and he didn't dare to believe that it was true until Huang Qiong handed him a rice bowl.

Although everyone is a low-level sergeant and has hardly come into contact with any nobles in their lives, this Huang Qiong, a dignified prince, has won the hearts of many soldiers in a short period of time. And this His Royal Highness made the officials of the Xiaocai Battalion even more shocked. As a dignified son, when he communicates with soldiers, he actually opens his mouth to swear words.

Although he is dressed as a scholar, he can talk dirty, which is even worse than those ordinary soldiers who don't know a single word. For these soldiers who can't read a single word, this method of communication is obviously more popular. Only two days after coming to the Xiao Cavalry Camp, Huang Qiong, a prince who had no shelf at all, got into a fight with many soldiers.

This prince not only has no stand for ordinary soldiers, but also has strict requirements for himself. In the two days I came to the Xiao Riding Camp, I also went out with the team. The military attache who is responsible for leading the team will do whatever he wants. He will practice what others practice. He even repeatedly demanded that he be treated no differently than other ordinary sergeants.
