Chapter Seventy-Two: Chen Cang! Chen Cang!
Chencang County.
Early in the morning, Wei Kai took the current Chen Cangshou General Youjin, through the fog, to the military camp outside the city to inspect the training of recruits.
I saw shirtless soldiers following the instructors in front of the queue, on the school field in the camp, lined up one phalanx after another, practicing the military physical boxing taught by Wei Kai.
"Drink, drink...", between the contractions of the fists, accompanied by an impassioned shout, after a few rounds, I saw that the blood in the soldier's body began to relax, and in this cool morning, the whole body exuded heat.
There were also a few veterans next to him, pointing at the recruits in training, and the ridicule continued. There are also well-meaning soldiers who go up to correct the mistakes of the recruits, of course, it will not be good words to persuade them, and scolding is always unavoidable, full of rough and barbaric atmosphere.
"General, this is the two thousand new soldiers levied by my Chencang garrison again", in a corner of the barracks, You Jin whispered to Wei Kai, who was watching the training of new soldiers.
"In the barracks, is it serious for veterans to bully recruits?" , Listening to You Jin's low report, Wei Kai looked at the ridicule and foolery of the veterans to the recruits from time to time on the school field, as well as the resentment and dissatisfaction on the recruits' faces, and suddenly asked as if unintentionally.
When you heard this, you were stunned, and you didn't know how to answer for a while.
In the barracks, isn't it normal for veterans to bully new recruits? However, the commander in front of him often had extraordinary thoughts about daily matters, so he hurriedly said: "I will order the officers in the army to restrain their subordinates."
"No, I'm not saying against...", Wei Kai said, and then stepped straight into the barracks from a corner of the barracks, and immediately the soldiers on the periphery found that they were dressed in military uniforms, at this time Wei Kai, who was brave and resolute, immediately saluted one by one: "Meet the general", and there was a burst of cheers in the barracks.
After Wei Kai served as Chen Cangling, he was no longer in the barracks, eating and living with the officers and soldiers in the army, and he was not directly in charge of the army.
But despite this, the worship of Wei Kai by the soldiers in the army has not decreased in the slightest, but has intensified because of one big battle after another. After all, Wei Kai led the Qin army to fight, and he must take the lead in every battle, and he did not suffer a single defeat, so the Qin army was very convinced of Wei Kai.
Therefore, in the Qin army, the title of general only refers to Wei Kai alone, and the corporal at the bottom calls the ministers and officials adults, in order to show respect for Wei Kai. After all, a general is incompetent, tired of the three armies, and the Qin soldiers who hope to make meritorious contributions are of course willing to follow Wei Kai, who has never been defeated.
"The last general Geng Hui, see the general", the officer who was leading the training of the recruits just now, after seeing Wei Kai, hurriedly saluted. Before he could kneel, Wei Kai grabbed him with one hand and said with a smile: "Old Geng, do you like to play this set too?" ”。
As soon as the words fell, Geng Hui, who was respectful just now, suddenly turned red, touched his head and said, "Aren't you a general now?" Hearing this, Wei Kai smiled, but did not speak.
Speaking of which, Geng Hui is also an interesting person, when Wei Kai was selling swords in Liyang, a group of hooligans and ruffians who came to make trouble and were thrown to the ground by Wei Kai were Geng Hui's group.
If you are knocked down by a chivalrous and righteous warrior, you will generally leave a cruel word, and then flee in disgrace.
But Geng Hui was different, after being knocked down by Wei Kai, not only did he not escape. On the contrary, on Liyang Street, Wei Kai sold swords for ten days, and Geng Hui stared at Wei Kai for ten days.
It's not that Geng Hui and his gang are ready to seek revenge on Wei Kai, but because they feel that someone as young as Wei Kai and with superb military force, if they can join their group, it won't be long before their gang can rise to the power of Liyang City and become famous.
But Wei Kaina had time to accompany them at home, so he categorically rejected them. But they didn't give up, and moved King Wen of Zhou to recruit Jiang Taigong, and wanted to accompany Wei Kai on the side, thinking that Wei Kai would feel their sincerity, and then take the initiative to join them.
Later, Wei Kai followed the current Qin King Yingquliang to participate in the Battle of Shaoliang, and they also joined the Qin army after hearing about it, and then when Wei Kai treated the wounded soldiers in the wounded barracks, he found the seriously injured Geng Hui, as for his other brothers, they unfortunately died on the battlefield, and Geng Hui, who finally recovered, was recruited by Wei Kai.
"How does it feel?" , Wei Kai looked at the recruits in front of him, patted Geng Hui on the shoulder and said.
Geng Hui, who was full of meat, heard this, smiled at Wei Kai and did not speak.
Looking at Geng Hui's helpless expression, Wei Kai understood everything.
However, it is also understandable that Chencang took turns to fight, and the soldiers suffered great losses, coupled with the transfer of old soldiers in the army to guard Changchuan, resulting in nearly sixty percent of the soldiers stationed in Chencang County being newly recruited, and the quality was naturally worrying.
Looking at the recruits who were staring at him tightly in the school field, Wei Kai said loudly: "Among the Qin army, there is no bad seed. If you can't stand the suffering, I advise you to roll up and go home early.
Of course, if you have the ability, it is not impossible for those veterans who bullied you to call you commanders in the future.
On the school field, you have to sweat a lot; On the battlefield, there can be less bloodshed. As soon as the military order arrived, there were thousands of troops and horses in front, and the Qin army must also defeat them.
Under the Qin banner, all are Qin soil, those who dare to raise troops, kill, kill...".
The school field, which was still silent just now, suddenly sounded with a roar of "kill, kill...", with Wei Kai's encouragement.
And those Qin pawns who were secretly discouraged just now because of the old pawn's teasing or insults, also shouted loudly at this time, as for quitting the Qin army? I'm afraid that no one in Chen Cang would have such a stupid idea now.
After all, now the Qin army is not the old army of the Qin State, Wei Kai has always advocated that meritorious service must be rewarded, and if there is a mistake, it must be punished, plus Wei Kai has looted the wealth of the clan and the business alliance, so he also has the ability to give the Qin army rich rewards, so the Qin people will fight for the army, so will they retreat?
Besides, the Qin people also advocate bravery, and the army is the best place to show bravery. If you retreat at this time, then you won't be scolded by your neighbors when you go back, and the family will not be able to raise their heads, how can the iron-clad old Qin people accept it?
In the barracks, Wei Kai instructed the lieutenant generals and officials to organize more recruits to fight freely, etc., and then returned to the official office in the city with You Jin to deal with daily government affairs.
But before Wei Kai entered the official office, Wang Bi, who had a bad face, stood alone at the door of the Chencang Mansion, waiting for Wei Kai, with a menacing appearance.
Looking at Wang Pi, who was staring at him with a gloomy face, before he could speak, Wei Kai suddenly panicked, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "Mr. Wang, it's not that Wei Kai wasted government affairs and took the opportunity to go out to play. Just now, I went with General Yujin to inspect the recruits outside the city."
As soon as the words fell, Wei Kai hurriedly signaled to You Jin, whose eyes were wandering left and right. You must know that if Wang Pi really takes the opportunity to educate him, I am afraid that it will be another two or three hours, and it is still at the gate of the official office, and passers-by can see it, how can Wei Kai stand it?
Since Wei Kai's return from the victory, Wang Pi, who had only served as Chen Cang's secretary because of Wei Kai's repeated requests, didn't know what was going on, and suddenly became particularly concerned about government affairs, and also for Wei Kai's persuasion to be more frequent and strict.
Especially last time, after Wang Pi learned about Wei Kai's stay in the back house with Kui and Min until noon, this old man, who was almost half a hundred years old, suddenly took a long sword and rushed to Wei Kai's back house, and said loudly to Wei Kai:
"The general is obsessed with beauty, and he must be a beautiful woman.
But the old man thinks that the human heart is the best treasure, if the general doesn't believe it, please take a look", and then in front of Wei Kai, he took a sword and prepared to open his heart, so that Wei Kai could watch it and identify the advantages and disadvantages of beauty and people's hearts. The resolute appearance still makes Wei Xingxing frightened.
Looking at Wang Bi's faintly blue face now, how could Wei Kai not be afraid?
Of course, Wei Kai also understood Wang Pi's good intentions, this is an old official who is dedicated to the Qin people. When the original clan was in turmoil, he would rather die than give in; Later, Wei Kai was put in order, and he was reluctant to make it difficult for the people of Chen Cang, acting as an attachment to Wei Kai, a young man who looked no more than sixteen;
Now that he has seen a series of things that Wei Kai has done, he knows that Wei Kai is also dedicated to the people of Chencang and the Qin State, especially Wei Kai defeated nearly 100,000 troops with only more than 10,000 troops, which deeply shocked the heart of this old Qin person, and he felt that Wei Kai, a young man, had the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, and he was more convinced of Wei Kai.
But Wei Kai is a young man after all, and it is inevitable that he can't resist the temptation and go astray, so Wang Bi wants to play the last role of his last year, so he does not avoid respect and humility, and leaves no room to persuade Wei Kai from time to time.
Looking at Wei Kai in front of him, who was the same age as his grandson, Wang Bi was sincerely happy, after all, Wei Kai brought too much hope to the dilapidated Chen Cang, and it was exactly what the people of Chen Cang needed.
Not to mention that the county seat of Chencang is now coming from Changchuan, loaded with all kinds of goods, the convoy of merchants selling in the county, and the water conservancy facilities being built around Chencang,
Just the people of Chencang can eat the food they grow, which makes the people of Chencang burst into tears, after all, the people of Chencang were fighting with wild beasts in the forest for food, hiding everywhere, and it is rare to live a stable life like now.
Moreover, Wang Pi also heard that the Chencang order standing in front of him, following the implementation of the field and mu law, was also preparing to build a tool shop on the side of Chencang that could be used by various craftsmen to make various tools.
If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Now that everyone in Chencang has a field to plant, whether the food is good or bad, but they will not go hungry, and now they are recruiting craftsmen to build farm tools and even weapons, Wang Bi believes that after this year, the cultivation ability of the people of Chencang, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers will definitely be greatly strengthened.
Isn't that the once poor and miserable Chencang, which has not seen the light of day, will soon become a place where the people are rich and the army is strong? This is unimaginable as Wang Pi, who has witnessed the poverty and weakness of the Qin State for decades.
But now all this is in the hands of the sixteen-year-old boy in front of him, slowly sprouting and even gradually becoming a fact in front of him, so he saluted and said to Wei Kai in front of him in a warm voice: "Welcome back, Lord County Order."
