Meng Genqige turned back to the back house and sat down to rest. A steward hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to say goodbye.

"The princess is blessed with longevity and health, the little one is here for you." There are several stewards in the palace, large and small, and this one is mainly responsible for the management of the grange and lamb's rest outside the palace.

"What does the yamen say?" Mungen asked.

"It's still the same as before, everything depends on the decision of our palace! The little one has already spoken to the person in charge, this girl was favored by the little prince that it was the creation of their family, and it was a blessing that could not be repaired in several lifetimes, but unfortunately this girl was blessed and couldn't stand the luxury of the palace, so it was gone, and it was also the will of God, no wonder others! The prince and the princess took pity on this girl and were willing to give some silver taels to help her family bury, as long as the bitter lord stopped making trouble. The steward said a few words in one breath.

"Take the carcass back to his family, and go to the account and give him some silver, and more, and a sum of burial silver, and a few horses of silk; I also sent some errand silver to the yamen, so that they could do some work! Don't go to Beijing to sue like last time! ”

"Little obedience! Actually, anything that can be solved with silver is not a problem! The small one must let the people in the yamen do things beautifully, and never let the bitter master come to the yamen again to make trouble! so as not to disturb the reputation of the palace. ”

"I heard that there is a lot of trouble in the south, the prince has been busy lately, and he has been restless for many days, so don't bother with these trivial matters!" Meng Genqige took a sip of the fragrant tea handed by the maidservant, "Take care of it more in the future, don't let the little prince make so many things happen, and make the whole family unhappy!" ”

"The princess teaches that the little one understands!"

Just when Yidu was discussing how to deal with Linqu, outside Linqu City, the discussion between Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi also ended.

The two carefully summed up the layout of the camp of the Yuan army in the south, and the two gradually had the outline of their ideas in their hearts, but this time there were many matters involved, and it was difficult to decide for a while.

"Brother Shi, take a rest, you can arrange other capable scouts to go over to the exploration of the south, as long as you pay attention to the hidden traces and observe secretly; Go to a few more people, report twice a day, so as not to change the situation, Sun Xing is the old man of the scout team, and he can lead the team. Yu Zhilong said.

"Sun Xing is now the head of the general's personal guards, and the duty of the guard is as heavy as Mount Tai, so let's stay with the general, I will personally arrange for the people who go south to investigate, and tell the precautions!"

"Then there is Brother Lao Shi!" Yu Zhilong said, "Now I just have a general idea, why don't we wait for tomorrow to have a return, and then we will finalize whether to do it?" ”

"That's fine, but this time I have to report to Liu Zhengfeng to know that the Jing'an Army alone can't do it!" Zhao Shi reminded.

"That's natural, I'm going to consult with him today and see what he thinks. If so, there is still much to be done. “

"Now these days, I have been waiting to contact some generals of various ministries, and the results are good, even Lao Wan and Xiahou are also willing to support our department, if it is really a critical moment, it must be a help, but there are many variables in the plan set by the adults, and they need to be carefully considered!" Zhao Shi finally mentioned.

"I've been thinking about it for a long time, if I want to not leave a bad name, it seems that this is the only way at this time, although I have made arrangements, it is in a hurry, and it is inevitable that there will be leaks, so I will sort it out before we go." Yu Zhilong responded.

Sending Zhao Shi back to rest, Yu Zhilong once again pondered the possible details, his heart fluctuated, and then he went out of the tent and looked around.

At this time, it was the beginning of November, and the cool of late autumn began to sink into my heart, and by the night the temperature had dropped significantly, but fortunately all the families of the army had already moved into newly built shacks or mud houses, and the rest were temporarily scattered and camped in various villages, at least no one would die due to the cold this winter.

At this time, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the blue sky is like washing, several white clouds hang high in the blue sky, under the fields with strong autumn mood, the soldiers of each department are still in full swing to carry out drills, these were originally still ragged homeless people and others, now most of them have put on the newly made coarse cloth military uniforms, but the soldiers are still single clothes, and it is impossible to meet the winter clothes of nearly 10,000 soldiers with the strength of Linqu County alone. A few days ago, Yu Zhilong also reminded Liu Zhengfeng and others that the city's grain and rice stocks are no longer enough to last through next spring, and if there is no turnaround, I am afraid that not only will it be difficult for the army to maintain during the spring famine, but the local people's livelihood will also collapse.

Looking at the direction of Yidu in the north, the plan to recruit peace is not successful, presumably the military preparations of Yidu will be in full swing to speed up, these two days to explore the horse returns, to reach the Yidu City of the Han army banner continues to increase, it seems that another big war is coming soon!

This time, you must be the first to strike, otherwise you will be too passive!

It is not feasible to go north, no matter how difficult it is to go south, it is the only way out, but fortunately, this time Ma Yan finally has a glimmer of hope for his return. Let's look at the follow-up news in the next two days!

The sun had reached the middle of the sky, and the noble team had finished preparing the meal, and some soldiers had already sounded the gong in the camp and on the training ground, and the gong sounded three times in a row, which meant that the morning drill was over, and the various units gathered their whole teams and returned to the camp to eat.

Sweaty and dusty officers and men returned to the camp one after another, although they were tired, they were full of energy, and after this period of training, the non-commissioned officers and soldiers had gradually become accustomed to the centralized management of the queue, whether it was assembly or action, not only the speed was much faster, but also the horizontal and vertical of the queue also had a look. Under the guidance of the team flag and the hundred households, the various departments followed the order, walked and turned in turn, entered the camp area of each department, and then disbanded after listening to the order, washed and washed, and then lined up to receive rice bowls and eat.

At present, there are 4,000 men and horses in the Jing'an barracks, which are mainly divided into two areas of infantry and cavalry, and the 100-man team is the basic unit for separate meals. Yu Zhilong and his pro-soldier team ate alone in the Chinese army. Because these days are all sunny days, after the various departments return to the camp and wash, they line up to take large bowls, and sit on the ground after receiving the meal, and at each hundred-person team, the noble also placed a large bucket containing gruel or vegetable soup, which the soldiers can collect by themselves.

All the departments ate outside the tent, and everyone's food was the same, even Yu Zhilong's pro-soldier team.

Yu Zhilong took a bowl of rice handed over by a personal soldier, the bowl was mainly millet and sorghum, with some green vegetables on top and broth. If Yu Zhilong's bowl of rice is different from others, it is actually two more spoonfuls of broth.

Taking into account the morale of the army, Yu Zhilong had ordered before the drill that the officers of all departments, regardless of their military ranks, must eat with their own soldiers when they eat in the barracks, and the meals should be the same and not special.

The soldiers are all good to say, now there is food and clothing, although the daily training is hard, but compared to the previous days without food and clothing, it is simply a fairy-like day, not to mention that the Jing'an Army here takes the best care for military families, and they are also at ease in the army.

Most of the officers and officials under Yu Zhilong were born in poverty, and now they are only based on one city, and when the situation is tense, they are also satisfied with the current treatment, only Wu Side and a few other generals used to like wine and meat, but alcohol is prohibited in the camp, and meat is not as much as before. It's been a long time, and it's hard to feel itchy.

"Alas, in the past few days since the celebration banquet, how long has it been since Lao Tzu tasted wine! The birds are about to fade out of their mouths! Wu Side stared blankly at millet sorghum rice with a big bowl and said, Wu Side is the best wine, and the big guy in the scout team knows that there is always a wine bag in his marching package, and as long as there is an opportunity, it is always full.

Most of the people in the original scout team like the things in the cup, Zhao Shi, Qian Zheng, Ma Rulong, etc., but when it comes to the amount of alcohol, it is none other than Wu Side, as for the wine, Ma Rulong, Qian Zheng, Hou Ying, and Chang Zhi are not equal. As long as there is this person on the wine table, Zhao Shi, Yu Zhilong, Ji Xiancheng and others are all looking for excuses to slip away, leaving only these people shouting five and drinking six, nonsense.

"My lord, if you want to drink, it's not easy! Wait for the little ones to go to the city for a special trip! A hundred households next to him happened to sit next to Wu Side, and when they heard Wu Side's gluttony, they took the initiative to come over and ask for it.

"Hey, nonsense! The general has already had a military order, and after the celebration banquet, the whole army is forbidden to drink, if there is a violation, the military law will be engaged! Didn't you see the gendarmes with their faces blackened, like Hades? If something happens at this moment, then Ma Rulong still doesn't applaud? This kid has long been hot for my cavalry! I can't give him a chance! ”

Wu Side slapped the neck of the hundred households vigorously and said, "Are you kid trying to harm me!" ”

"How dare a small one have such a big guts! It's just that I see the adults working hard for many days, and the small ones feel sorry for the adults. ”

A few companions next to him laughed, and some of them laughed and sprayed rice, and rice grains squirted out of their nostrils, causing even more laughter.

"You're a talent, and you know how to feel distressed? What a hero, my lord, how can I let you be a woman! Since you feel sorry for adults, why don't you feel sorry for the big guys? ”

"Yan San, you fart is so numb! Wouldn't it be better to have this mind and simply find a family affair for Wu Tou? ”

"Phew, my lord's body has to do with the future of my cavalry, I Yan San has been admiring my lord since I beat the scout team, what are you promising, and it's worth worrying about?"

"I heard that most of the people who went to the city to recuperate were taken care of by many big girls, and the soldiers who were so injured did not want to come back! Although Huang Erqianhu was also seriously injured, but his life was good, and he found a daughter-in-law within a few days of entering, this is a blessing in disguise, Yan San, when will you also go into the city to explore the way and find a relative for Wu Tou? ”

"Speaking of which, General Fei understands the thoughts of the big guy best, and no one wants to be injured here, but as long as he still has the breath, he will be sent to the city to be taken care of by those big daughters and daughters-in-law, but it is also a blessing from life! Hey, what's the name of that team? ”

"Health Team!" A general flag replied beside him.

"Yes, call the health team! I think about it means to protect everyone's lives. This is a team specially built by General Fei for everyone, and he specially found many little ladies to serve everyone, and also took care of laundry and feeding. If there is another good life of Huang Qianhu, it would be so beautiful to be able to find a daughter-in-law there! "A hundred households named Gou Fugui.

"Come on, your grave didn't burn that high incense, die of that heart as soon as possible! Huang Qianhu's life is good, if he hadn't been saved early, he would have been confessed to the battlefield a long time ago! ”

"You bastards, it's all up there! Hurry up, finish your meal for me, and then go back and give me thirty more times of cavalry archery and formation charge! Wu Side heard that the more his subordinates talked, the more out of tune they became, he put down the rice bowl he had just finished eating, and slapped the two guys on the left and right on the head. All cheer up, Lao Tzu has to be the first in the Jing'an Army, whoever is wilting, be careful that Lao Tzu kicks his ass! ”

"General, this Wu Side seems to have been practicing too violently recently, and in the past few days, there have been six or seven soldiers who have either fallen or sprained, but fortunately their lives are not endangered, do you want General Ming to come forward to guide?" Fang Xue said to Zhilong.

Seeing Yu Zhilong eating in the camp today, Fang Xue seized the opportunity to rush over and inquire.

"Oh, so more than a dozen of the riders have been injured so far?"

"Exactly."

"Well, it's good to be diligent in practice, but you shouldn't be if you don't cherish your soldiers. According to your words, let Mingxiong pay attention to adjusting the training intensity and methods of the cavalry. It is impossible to greatly improve the combat skills of the cavalry in a short period of time, not to mention that many of them are still new pawns. It is better to focus on formation training and basic training. ”

"Tell Wu Side to restrain himself, if there are so many injured soldiers, I will confine him for a day!"
