Volume 1 Wanfu Chapter 48 Good Omen
Nearly a hundred soldiers fell, scared and scared.
Shen Leng single-handedly overturned more than a dozen soldiers, and then any one of Shen Leng's ten-man team could overturn any one of these soldiers, and all the pride was shattered by the blow, what was left?
"You really have nothing to be proud of."
Shen Leng glanced at the people lying on the ground: "I won't stay if you are willing to leave, and those who are willing to stay will follow my rules. β
After saying this, Shen Leng turned around and left: "If you are willing to stay, get up half an hour earlier than usual tomorrow morning and follow me to practice." β
The soldiers stood still for a long, long time.
Zhuang Yong just smiled after getting the news, and said in his heart that such methods were not taught by Shen Xiaoshu, Shen Leng, a young man, has his own set, which is very remarkable.
The next day, before dawn, Shen Leng was already running laps on the school field, and the first one to appear behind Shen Leng was Chen Ran, in fact, after returning to the barracks last night, Chen Ran thought for a long time, if the person who was selected was himself, was he sure of winning?
Maybe Shen Leng was sure for him, but he wasn't sure himself, he didn't want to be like this all the time in the future.
The second is Wang Kuohai, the third is Dewey, and the fourth is Li Tuming, and it didn't take long for all the members of Shen Leng's original ten-person team to arrive, and then some hesitant soldiers from a distance joined in, and slowly more and more people came.
Running laps, washing, having breakfast, practicing together, everyone didn't mention what happened yesterday, as if nothing had happened at all.
What is surprising is that Gao Chengyue and others, who were beaten by Shen Leng yesterday, also appeared in the team running circles, with blue noses and swollen faces, but they seemed to be a little more proud than yesterday.
Who isn't a man yet?
Ten days later, Shen Leng knew that the control of this team had achieved the most basic results, although those soldiers could not say how loyal they were to him, as long as they were not willing to admit defeat, they would slowly get better in the future.
A few hundred miles away from the camp of the Navy Division is Huaiyuan City, where the provincial government of Jiangnan Province is located, Mu Xiaofeng rushed to Huaiyuan City last night and directly entered the camp of the Yizi Battalion of the Jiangnan Provincial Garrison.
Bai Shangnian, the general of the Yizi Battalion, had a long talk with him last night, and as soon as the morning dawned, the two of them walked side by side by the lake in the station.
"I'm not going to transfer people out of the Otoko camp."
Bai Shangnian said as he walked: "Even though I have a good personal relationship with your father, and you are also grown up by me, like my own son, I will not transfer the elite of the Yizi Battalion to avenge you, and if your father knows, he will not agree." β
Mu Xiaofeng's face was a little ugly: "Before I came, my father said that I could ask your Uncle Bai for help with anything." β
"I can help you if it doesn't touch the law and military laws of the country, but this matter just can't work, although I am the general of the Yizi Battalion, but you really think I can cover the sky with one hand in the Yizi Battalion? If you think that the generals of the garrisons of the provinces can completely control the team, then you are too naΓ―ve. β
His pace was so slow that Mu Xiaofeng overtook him several times, and he had to retreat behind him with some annoyance.
"Your Majesty's actions, you still don't understand...... Before His Majesty ascended to the pole, there was a Shangshu Order, who is the Shangshu Order, do you know who the Shangshu Order is? β
Mu Xiaofeng nodded: "Father." β
Bai Shangnian snorted: "The power of the six parts is in the hands of your father alone, that is the trust of the first emperor in your father, a great honor...... However, His Majesty went down with a will, and directly cut the official position of Shang Shuling, and the six departments reported directly to His Majesty, which was His Majesty's first sword, followed by the military department with the heaviest authority among the six departments, and was cut by His Majesty for the second time. β
"Originally, the power to allocate and distribute soldiers from all over the country was in the Ministry of War, but what has Your Majesty left to the Ministry of War now? Only the power of logistics and supply equipment is left to supervise these small things, so that the original most important military department is now reduced to the last of the six departments, that is, it has a little more weight than the Ministry of Engineering. β
"I'm telling you this to let you know, I'm a general in Yizi Battalion, but my every move is in the eyes of His Majesty, as long as I allocate manpower to you today, it won't be long before I, you, including your father, will have an accident, and the scholar is proud all his life, are you willing to let him be humiliated?"
Mu Xiaofeng gritted his teeth and didn't speak, but his fists clenched tighter and tighter.
"Zhuang Yong's side, I will write a handwritten letter to the past, so that he can take more care of you."
"No need."
Mu Xiaofeng's footsteps stopped, and he finally had no patience to follow Bai Shangnian to continue walking.
He didn't know how stupid he was, so that Bai Shangnian's last little favor for him was exhausted, Bai Shangnian was the garrison general of Zhengsanpin, and even if the scholar was in power, he couldn't directly do anything to him, not to mention that the power in the hands of the scholar was about to be stripped away by His Majesty.
Besides, the Xiangning Bai family has gradually risen over the years, and there are many people who hold power in both the army and the court, will the scholar tear his face with the entire Xiangning Bai family because of his son's naivety?
Mu Xiaofeng still knew how to hug his fists and say goodbye: "Although the nephew only has a vacant position among the sailors, he still can't leave for too long, so he won't bother his uncle much, so he will leave." β
Bai Shangnian nodded: "Go back." β
Mu Xiaofeng gritted his teeth, turned around and left.
"Sometimes you need to be flexible, don't have a tendon...... A while ago, the water bandits on the Grand Canal of the southern Haijiang became more and more rampant, the sailors of the Nanping River were too far away, the water bandits were unscrupulous, and my Yizi battalion had several times but had not been able to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, these beasts did all kinds of evil, as long as they had money to take, they could do anything. β
Bai Shangnian sighed: "I hope that the Daning Water Master will become strong as soon as possible, and there will be no more disasters in the waterways." β
Mu Xiaofeng understood what Bai Shangnian meant no matter how stupid he was, and he laughed: "Nephew farewell." β
Bai Shangnian waved his hand and didn't look at him more.
Mu Xiaofeng naturally knew that the sailors were going south to Haijiang, and it was estimated that in the past few days, the team was led by Cen Zheng, the general of Wupin Yongyi, and his subordinates, Bai Xiu, who had taken two standard battalions of seven or eight hundred people to the south, more than ten boats, and the required materials had already been prepared and loaded on the ships, and the shipwrights did not dare to be idle these days.
Shen Leng was in the team going south, not long ago when Shen Leng was promoted to regimental leader, Wang Gendong was promoted to captain, Shen Leng was still under Wang Gendong, and almost one-third of the people in that standard battalion were Mu Xiaofeng's people at the beginning.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaofeng couldn't help but be happy, he was indeed too shafty, and he was ...... The sailor must take the Grand Canal to the south, from the Nanping River into the canal all the way to the south, walk about 2,000 miles into the Kuangcang River and then go to the southern Xinjiang seas.
Some of the things that made him embarrassed were that Mu Jiu had died, and there was no more suitable person around him to use.
Thinking of these Mu Xiaofeng out of the camp gate of the Yizi Battalion, when he turned over and got on the horse, he saw a sturdy man in his thirties coming over, and after seeing Mu Xiaofeng, he bowed down: "General Bai said that you lack a servant in your body, let me come and follow, my name is Nie Yuan." β
Mu Xiaofeng smiled even happier, he had seen this Nie Yuan once, when Bai Shangnian went to Beijing to report on his work, he went to the university scholar's mansion as a guest, and the cronies he brought with him were this Nie Yuan, who was said to be a ruthless character who could kill people in literature, martial arts, and martial arts.
"Okay, follow me."
Mu Xiaofeng beat the horse forward, and Nie Yuan pulled a war horse to follow, and soon disappeared.
On the lake side of the Yizi Battalion, Bai Shangnian beckoned someone to move a stool, and his soldiers prepared his favorite fishing gear one by one, smoothed the fishing line, hung the bait, and then handed the fishing rod to Bai Shangnian.
Bai Shangnian threw the fish hook out and waved his hand to signal his subordinates to leave, leaving only his most trusted advisor Han Houchu, a scholar in his fifties, but he didn't read anything famous for most of his life.
"General, isn't it a bit too much?"
Han Houchu squatted there stirring the bait for Bai Shangnian: "The Bai family has only gradually mastered some of the right to speak in the court in the past five years, everything is not easy to come by, the head of the family is careful not to make any mistakes, and the general You are a very important part of the Bai family in the court, because of a Mu Xiaofeng to offend Zhuang Yong, is the general a little hasty?" β
"Of course I know how difficult it is for the Bai family to get all this now, and how much it has cost to start from scratch, and I also know that Zhuang Yong is a retainer of His Majesty, and there are few people who weigh more than him...... But Hou Chu, what can I do? Mu Xiaofeng is just a fool, not even one ten-thousandth of his father, but his father is such a precious son, and Mu Zhaotong can do some stupid things for this son. β
"The Bai family is not as good as those big families with hundreds of years of roots, and if you want to really rise, you can't do without Mu Zhaotong's support, although he is no longer Shang Shuling, but he is still in charge of the cabinet! In the next ten years, there will still be no one in the court who will be more important than him, and His Majesty will not be able to do without him no matter how much he does not trust him. β
Bai Shangnian sighed, the fish floated on the water in the distance, but he didn't get up the rod.
"None of the six people of the Bai family can speak, I did Mu Zhaotong a favor, at least I have to ask him for a squire."
Han Houchu shook his head slightly after hearing this, he always felt that the general's approach was still not safe enough, and this matter spread little by little, with His Majesty's temperament today, who knows how many heads will be dropped.
Bai Shangnian pointed to the ups and downs of the fish float: "It's just a small fish that teases the bait, even if it's a six-part squire, it's not a big fish, and now it's the sailor who makes Your Majesty the most interested...... If Zhuang Yong can fall, it will be very beneficial for our Bai family to help Mu Xiaofeng, that idiot, to the position of Admiral of the Water Master. β
Han Houchu snorted: "Then I'll arrange a few more people, although Nie Yuan is not a problem in doing things, he is too murderous and easy to be impulsive." β
Bai Shangnian nodded: "Go ahead, for so many years, as long as you are willing to do something seriously, what can't you do well?" If the Bai family wants to compete with those big families, they always have to do more and pay more than them, but we can't do without those things that the big families disdain to do, and the means they look down on. β
As soon as he lifted the fishing rod, he caught a big fish, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth slightly: "Good sign." β
