Chapter 103: Shanhaiguan
In the palace, the princess asked about King Yan's situation.
"The Sword of the Son of Heaven?" The princess had heard of the sword: "Isn't that His Majesty's saber?" How could he have. β
"And what about this?" Princess Xu asked.
"Your Majesty." After King Yan finished speaking, he went to write.
The princess asked Princess Xu, "Is the painting still hanging?" β
"Put it away." Princess Xu shook her head.
"Leave the city alone for now, let them pass it on."
"Okay." Everyone nodded and retreated.
Tan Zhen stood at the door, like a sculpture, and the butler came over and took him away.
"You should go and wait at the county lord's gate now."
"Oh." Tan Zhen nodded and walked towards the county lord's room.
The butler looked at it and shook his head, he still had a lot of things to do, and he couldn't take care of his business.
Inside, she was lying on the bed, waiting for someone to call her and tell her what was going on.
When he heard footsteps outside the door, he asked, "How is it outside?" β
"He's gone."
"Gone?" Ji Yunmiao did it: "He left like this?" β
Father went in person, can he still let him go?
"He's the Son of Heaven again."
Tan Zhen said stunned.
"What?" Ji Yunmiao quickly jumped out of bed and opened them, only to find that it was Tan Zhenqi and said, "Why are you?" β
"I'm afraid that the county lord will be upset, so I'll guard here."
"Forget it, forget it." Ji Yunmiao didn't care why he was, she went straight to her father's house to ask for an understanding, but she gave herself a long time of comfort before accepting Jiang Yunfan, how can she say that it is gone?
Pushing open the door, he asked, "Father, how can you let him go?" β
"So what should I do?" King Yan glanced at Ji Yunmiao, "People have the Sword of the Son of Heaven, I dare to catch him back." β
"You and I will be honest about what the situation is with the two of you."
"That's the case." Ji Yunmiao suddenly squirmed.
King Yan looked at it and shook his head.
"Tell me everything you want."
Then Ji Yunmiao told his father about the process of acquaintance between the two, of course, he gave him **, naturally he wanted to return it to King Jian, and he also added fuel and vinegar to say a big push.
The angry Yan King only slapped the table.
"This bastard thing."
At the same time, Jiang Yunfan was riding a horse that he had 'borrowed' from King Yan and Li Junqing was leading dozens of cavalry to run quickly.
They can now only march 300 miles a day, and it takes a day and a half to reach Shanhaiguan.
There were his own selected tax collectors waiting there, and in addition to Li Jingtian and a few of them, General Xin also helped him recruit hundreds of soldiers, and also pulled out a few veterans from his army to help carry them.
It was only in the evening that a group of people found a place where they could set up camp, and the soldiers rested here, and Jiang Yunfan took Ji Yunmiao to a nearby village to spend the night.
Early the next morning, a group of people continued on their way, and they needed to arrive when Shanhaiguan closed today.
Running all the way, he finally arrived at Shanhaiguan when the sun still had a glimmer of brilliance.
There are four gates of Shanhaiguan, which are called "Town East Gate" in the east, "Ying'en Gate" in the west, "Wangyang Gate" in the south, and "Weiyuan Gate" in the north
Kannai is a small castle, and the entire city is connected to the Great Wall.
Seki Castle has an irregular trapezoidal shape, with corner towers at all four corners and arrow towers. There were many cannons on the walls, and there were moats outside the city.
Moreover, in order to strengthen the defense and take precautions, the four city gates were also added to the urn city as a defense.
Jiang Yunfan and his entourage showed their identities and entered from the east gate, and someone inside had already reported to the city defense general, and after entering the inner city from the urn city, someone came to greet them.
"The last general, Qi Feiyu has seen Jiang Jianjun and Li Jingluo."
"General Qi, please get up quickly." Jiang Yunfan helped Qi Feiyu up and said to the rest of the soldiers: "Everyone, please hurry up." β
Qi Feiyu is about thirty years old, but his face is full of vicissitudes, and he is also a brave man.
"Two adults, please."
Qi Feiyu led the two to the mansion, the room was ready, Jiang Yunfan and Ji Yunmiao's room was next to each other.
Jiang Yunfan didn't need to put the sword and bow in the house at this time, and carried it directly with him, with a sword at his waist and a bow on his back, but he looked more and more like the general in the painting.
When he came to the lobby, Jiang Yunfan also sat down on the main seat unceremoniously, and asked people to call Li Jingtian.
"Master Jiang!"
Today's Li Jingtian has indeed regressed from the appearance of a scholar, wearing a light armor.
"Not bad, not bad."
This is much better than Jiang Yunfan thought.
Although they are not qualified to go to war, they can still be tax collectors.
Jiang Yunfan asked for paper and pen, drew a few sandbags tied to his legs and hands, and asked him to find someone to make a pair.
After writing a set of training methods, what stood together for half an hour, ran around the city wall a few laps, and let people teach them knife skills every day.
I'm looking for someone to make a few horizontal bars and parallel bars or something, and I have a few sets every day.
In a few months, he will grow into a qualified soldier, and the stinky fish and rotten shrimp in some shops in the team are qualified.
And when he had given the order, he let them go down.
It's not over, it's time to rest.
The next day he went to see the soldiers alone.
There are also many scholars and some peasant families in it, and the overall appearance still has the smell of stinky fish and rotten shrimp.
Standing unevenly, seeing him coming and shouting adults, he was also uneven.
Jiang Yunfan stood on a high place and said loudly: "No matter what your identity was before, now you have only one identity, that is, a soldier, a soldier must look like a soldier, you must have a standing appearance, you must have a walking appearance, and even shouting must be neatly shouted." β
"Be loud, yell out, don't be a mother, let people see the joke."
"Come, shout with me."
"Kill ββγ"
"Kill ββγ"
The roar got up later, but it was still uneven, and Jiang Yunfan then handed it over a few more times.
Next, it's time to teach the standing posture, and the military posture will occupy him for half an hour first.
When they were standing in a military posture, Jiang Yunfan also talked about what they should pay attention to, that is, the previous military training, and finally told them what their names were.
"Tax collector."
"You give me a good memory of this name, and you will go down in history with him for future generations to remember."
"Remember?"
"Remembered."
"What's our name?"
"Tax Collectorβ"
"What?" Jiang Yunfan stretched out his hand to his ear.
"Tax collector! βββ
"Okay." Jiang Yunfan nodded: "Disband." β
"Shi Chenggong, Li Jingtian, the two of you will come here."
"Your Excellency."
The two came to Jiang Yunfan and gave their hands.
"Li Jingtian, you tell him what I told you last night, etc., and you will be responsible for recording it in the future to see who has not completed the training and who dares to be lazy."
"And you." Jiang Yunfan looked at Shi Chenggong and said: "You divide these people into several small units for me, and one person from each unit is selected, and you are responsible for managing these people, and these people are responsible for bringing their respective troops to me and training according to the daily training plan." β
"Yes."
"Go down."
Jiang Yunfan simply gave these people a succession, and also did an experiment for the reform of the army, to see if it could be done, and it was regarded as an accumulation of experience.
Now the people are just like a battalion, divided into several companies to watch and try first, if it doesn't work, it's there.
I won't give anything for the position first, just let those veterans bring it.
Back in the house, Li Junqing was sitting in the = courtyard watching the news from the front line.
Jiang Yunfan asked, "Did you fight?" β
"Nope."
Li Junqing shook his head.
Now they have just arrived at Quang Ninh Zuotunwei, and they are still repairing, and they will leave for Quang Ninh in three days.
Li Junqing looked at Jiang Yunfan and thought for a while, the biggest headache now is how to leave Jiang Yunfan here, it will be dangerous to move forward, in case someone is ambushed, it will be difficult to say.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Jiang Yunfan wiped his face with his hands. "Is there anything on my face?"
"Nope"
Li Junqing's gaze returned to the letter, and he casually took one to Jiang Yunfan and let him look at it.
What is written above is that when the army arrives there, what will it do in a few days, and how much food will there be.
When I returned to the house and wrote about the future army, I was eating at noon when I suddenly heard someone outside reporting it.
Seeing that the man was holding a fan and giving it to Jiang Yunfan, he said, "My lord, someone outside asked me to hand over the fan to the adult, saying that the adult will understand when he sees the fan." β
Jiang Yunfan looked at the fan a little familiar, opened it suspiciously, and was stunned for a moment, looking at Li Junqing and blinking.
Both of them had consternation in their eyes.
How did she get here?
