Chapter 58: Musket Battalion
The white clouds in the blue sky are floating, the horses are running under the white clouds, waving the whip to think in all directions, and the birds are flying together...
Today's weather is fine, and the injury on Yang Bo's buttocks is also good, Shen Yanqing wants to teach Yang Bo to ride a horse, riding on a horse, Yang Bo is in a good mood, and he actually sings.
There were two people in front of him who were waving at him, it was Lu Yinshi and He Qifeng, Yang Bo grabbed the reins of the horse, and the red and brown horse stopped. Shen Yanqing was in high spirits, but instead snorted, the big green horse was faster, and like a gust of wind, galloped away.
Lu Yin came to report to him on the progress of the fortifications.
The fast horse team wiped out more than 100 officers and soldiers, and Qiu Sizhou and Ruan Tongshi also killed Yang Bo, Yang Bo couldn't help but consider the worst possibility, and the officers and troops might counterattack.
The two entrances of Meizhen are in the northwest direction, according to the defense plan, the two entrances should be fortified with stones, and the members of the fast horse team take turns to garrison the fortifications, and a fortification arranges a squad of twenty people to be stationed, and the first batch is the two squads of He Qifeng's fast horse team.
After Lu Yinshi finished talking with Yang Bo, he left, but He Qifeng did not leave.
Yang Bo looked at He Qifeng, what do you have to say, you say.
"Brother.." He Qifeng swallowed, "I heard that my brother will soon go to the south?" ”
"Hmm." Yang Bo nodded and said: "Originally, I should have been on the ship now, but this year's climate is special, there was an unexpected heavy snowfall in August, and the Shen family's grain harvest in Jiangnan was not smooth, so it was postponed this year, and it will set off in about ten days." ”
At this time, the two had come to the military tent, Mei Xian'er was in the military tent, what was written on the desk, the conditions in the military tent were poor, Mei Xian'er was sitting on the pony, the ecstatic sitting posture, the convex convexity, the trap that should be trapped, the mountains were high and the water was low, the curves were exposed, and Yang Bo's heart was pounding.
When Mei Xian'er saw Yang Bo coming back, she raised her head and smiled, and buried her head in writing, she was helping Yang Bo write a reply letter to Xu Wenjue.
Xu Wenjue returned to Nanjing, and sure enough, Yang Bo gave him matches everywhere, and by the way, he lobbied Yang Bo's investment plan in Jinling's noble circle, and Nanjing now set off a gust of wind 'waves', Xu Wenjue wrote a letter to Yang Bo, and the letter was sent to the stone temple, and Zhou Zheng asked someone to send the letter to the horse farm.
Xu Wenjue told him diligently in the letter that 200,000 silver had been prepared, and there was even a super, and soon he and some wealthy merchants in Jinling would rush to Shenjiabao and let Yang Bo wait in the stone temple.
But the date of the Shen family's southward journey was undecided, and Yang Bo was worried that others would have gone to Jiangnan by then, so he asked Mei Xian'er to help him reply to explain the situation, and if the other party couldn't wait to see him, they could meet Yunyun in Ningbo.
He Qifeng was silent for a while, and finally said, "Brother, I want to go down to Jiangnan with you." ”
Yang Bo was stunned for a moment, but immediately said angrily: "The wind, the situation in Meizhen is very serious now, it is the time to employ people, you take the hundred people under your command well, and it is a great achievement to defend Meizhen, what are you thinking about with your big head?" ”
"No, I.. I don't think it's good to lead a team of 100 people, and I'm again. I can't read, I can't read the charter you gave me yesterday, I want to follow my brother, learn some skills first, and then come back to lead the troops. When He Qifeng said this, he was no longer timid, and seemed to have made up his mind.
is illiterate again, this problem has always given Yang Bo a headache, thought about it, and said: "Okay, you go and call Uncle Lu over, and we will discuss it together." ”
"Childe, can you take a look?" Mei Xian'er's letter had been written, and when she saw Yang Bo walk in, she smiled and handed it to Yang Bo.
Yang Bo took the letter and took a look, the fly-headed Xiaokai, delicate and dangerous, the pen is clear, quite charming, Yang Bo recognized this as a European body, Mei Xian'er's daughter's family, and actually wrote a European character with both god and shape, which is not simple.
Yang Bo couldn't help but be amazed: "Xian'er, your handwriting is really beautiful, I will learn from you one day." ”
"Childe, don't want to.." Mei Xian'er wanted to say that the son should not be modest, but she remembered that she had seen Yang Bo write calligraphy yesterday, and the five-year-old Meng Tong could write better than him, and she couldn't help giggling.
"Xian'er, presumably you can also paint?" Yang Bo knew that the ancients did not distinguish between calligraphy and painting, so he tried to ask.
"I know some, but don't you want to learn to paint with me?" Mei Xian'er said strangely.
Yang Bo was overjoyed and said: "It's really best for you to ask the Township Chess Club, the stone temple will build a museum for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the future, and asking the Township Chess Club is only the first step." Yang Bo looked confident.
"Oh.." Mei Xian'er was still sitting on the pony, Xu was uncomfortable, so she stretched her arms, Yang Bo stood very close, condescending, and saw it clearly, there was a snowfield, Yang Bo remembered the scene that night, two o'clock and one line, two spring rabbits fluttering in the snow, and suddenly his heart rippled.
Mei Xian'er's face turned red, obviously she felt Yang Bo's burning eyes, so she stood up, brushed her hair, and whispered: "Childe, I asked someone to send a letter." ”
Yang Bo looked at Mei Xian'er's distant back, and felt in his heart, no wonder the CEOs of later generations like to use beauties as secretaries, beauties are nutritious, beautiful and delicious, beauties are eye-catching, take a look, and be happy all day long.
Yang Bo is also worried that if it goes on like this, something will happen sooner or later, what if he can't control it that day?
Yang Bo thought in a mess, when the big man He Qifeng came back, and Lu Yin, Yang Bo's mood suddenly became bad.
"Uncle Lu, the wind suddenly proposed that he wanted to go down to Jiangnan with me, what do you think?" Yang Bo asked Lu Yin.
"Qifeng wants to learn skills from Childe's side, and he will do great things in the future, what can I say?" Lu Yin smiled innocently.
Obviously, He Qifeng has been lobbying with Lu Yinshi all the way, and Uncle Lu looks more like a lobbyist.
After some discussion, Yang Bo made the following adjustments to the Fast Horse team:
The fast horse team was changed to a musket battalion, and the battalion commander was served by Lu Yinshi, with three musket teams under it, and the captain of the first team was concurrently served by Lu Yinshi. The captain of the second team is still Fang Lichun, and the third team is temporarily vacant, because the production progress of the musket cannot keep up, and Yang Bo does not have such a gun in his hand.
He Qifeng followed Yang Bo, and he couldn't be idle, Yang Bo asked him to go down and pick ten people, specifically those who were strong and tall, as Yang Bo's personal soldiers, of course, they had to be bright, besides, He Qifeng, the captain, was also a big man.
When Lu Yin, the mess of Meizhen security was handed over to Sun Jinyi to be responsible, and after this arrangement, Yang Bo felt that it was not bad, with improved muskets in hand, even if there were officials and soldiers to encircle and suppress, it was not so easy to take Meizhen.
What's more, the intelligence shows that Huai'anwei's men and horses will not be able to draw out for a while, and Haizhou Shouyu is said to be a thousand households, but most of them are ploughing the fields, but the soldiers who can fight are only 200 people, and Meizhen is safe for the time being.
Lunch was eaten in the military tent, and the food in the horse farm was very good, with fish and meat, because the two girls were also there, and the room also specially sent two small stir-fries, a green vegetable mushroom, and a celery tofu.
Yang Bo sat in the middle, one of the two beauties, Yingying Yanyan, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious, just like a family, Yang Bo looked left and right, one queen and one concubine, the blessing of all people? Yang Bo thought beautifully in his heart.
Yang Bo took the lead in finishing eating, and pushed the dishes and chopsticks, but saw a head poking out of the door, it was not Ge Sibao, who was it?
"Childe, are you eating?" Ge Sibao said, it is estimated that this person has been waiting at the door for a long time, and when he saw Yang Bo drop the dishes and chopsticks, he spoke up.
Ge Sibao's arrest of Ruan Yan this time can be regarded as a meritorious service, and Yang Bo did not wait slowly, stood up, and said to the two women: "You use it slowly, I will go back when I go." ”
"Come back early." The two girls said in unison, and after speaking, they glanced at each other, Shen Yanqing was nothing, but Mei Xian'er blushed and looked quite embarrassed.
According to Yang Bo's arrangement, after lunch, they all had to rush back to Shenjiabao, but the two girls spoke so neatly, it was indeed a little weird that it was like a wife telling her husband.
Yang Bo came to the tent and asked Ge Sibao: "Is there something?" ”
"Childe, I have made a meritorious contribution this time, can I ask you for something?" Ge Sibao grimaced and said with a smile.
"There's something to say, there's a fart." Yang Bo's face was black.
"Last time I saw a girl in the plum house, is the son willing to help me be a matchmaker?" Ge Sibao got closer, and his face was even a little shy, "Childe is right, I will change my evil and return to the right this time, as long as I marry that girl, I will never go to the kiln again." Ge Sibao swore an oath.
Ge Sibao changed his evil and returned to the right and didn't go to the kiln? Believe you? It's better to believe that the sow will go up to the tree.
"Is the woman willing?" Yang Bo asked, looking at him with contempt.
"Yes, that girl's name is catkins, and the name is very good, yes or no? She was willing, and I told her that Childe was my nobleman, and as soon as she heard it, she said that if I could invite Childe to be a matchmaker, she would follow me. Ge Sibao scratched his head and said, "However, that girl is Mei Xian'er's maid ring, but I don't know if Miss Xian'er is willing." ”
Yang Bo turned around and called Xian'er, Mei Xian'er quickly walked out, Yang Bo told Liu Fu about it, Mei Xian'er glanced at Ge Sibao, frowned and asked, "Liu Wu is willing to follow you?" ”
"Yes, if you don't believe it, ask her." Ge Sibao said immediately, looking quite arrogant.
Mei Xian'er didn't object, she just didn't expect that Liu Wu would fall in love with such a strange uncle, she no longer needed a personal ring, and immediately nodded: "I will naturally ask, if Liu Wu is willing, I am naturally willing to fulfill it." ”
After Mei Xian'er finished speaking, she turned around and went back to the military tent, without looking at Ge Sibao.
Ge Sibao shook his eyebrows again and again, and said with a smile: "Thank you Miss Xian'er, thank you Young Master Yang." ”
Yang Bo also wanted to go back to the military tent to pack up and prepare to leave for Shenjiabao, Ge Sibao still followed suit, and Yang Bo had a black line on his face, "Is there anything else?" ”
"Childe, I also want to go to Shenjiabao." Ge Sibao said in the period.
"Nonsense." Yang Bo reprimanded, "Now that so many new people have been admitted, you are an equestrian instructor, how can you go to Shenjiabao?" ”
"Didn't I say now, wait for me to bring this group of people out, and then go to Shenjiabao, okay?"
Ge Sibao had already seen that Yang Bo didn't look down on him for things in the army, and he, the instructor, was only responsible for teaching people to ride horses, what kind of instructor was he?
Yang Bo heard Ge Sibao say this, but what he thought in his heart was the same as Ge Sibao, there was no place for Ge Sibao in the army, so he said: "Okay, when you finish this batch of training, you go to Shenjiabao to find me." ”
Yang Bo turned around and left, Ge Sibao was endless, and shouted behind him: "Wait, Childe, now you can go and see the big black horse I helped me find, right?" ”
Yang Bo didn't look back, waved his hand and said, "You raise the horse first, and then lead the horse to me." ”
"Okay.." Ge Sibao was finally satisfied, hummed a little tune, and left in a fart.
