Chapter 27 The whole army wears pants
The Zhenwu army has a total of 50,000 soldiers and soldiers, most of whom are guarding the border passes of various states and counties, and some of the elite soldiers and strong generals are gathered into a large army, which is divided into five armies: front, left, right, middle and rear, and is stationed outside Fugu County.
The former army commanded by Bai Yifei had a total of 3,000 horses, most of which were cavalry, and Bai Yifei himself was also a famous brave cavalry general in the Zhenwu army, so he was personally ordered by Zhe Zhaocai to train Cui Wenqing in equestrianism.
When I came to the former military exercise ground, I only heard the neighing of horses, the sound of hooves like thunder, and a team of cavalry was galloping back and forth, staggered fighting, shouting and killing through the sky, shaking people's eardrums with a faint pain.
Cui Wenqing stood still and looked at it, and couldn't help but admire: "The equestrian skills are exquisite, the sword skills are superb, and the army of Brother Fei can really be regarded as a division of tigers and wolves." ”
Bai Yifei shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This cavalry may be pretty good in Daqi, but if it is compared with the Liao people who grew up on horseback since childhood, there is still a certain gap, and it should not be praised by my uncle." ”
Cui Wenqing understood the power of the Liao cavalry.
In the war against Liao and Western Xia, most of the Great Qi failed to lose, and they were taught to be human by these two evil neighbors every minute.
Bai Yifei looked around, searched for a long time, and finally saw a familiar shadow and beckoned: "Captain Gan, come over and see you quickly." ”
I only heard a calm answer from the cavalry formation, and a fierce general with a tiger's back and a bear's waist had already arrived on horseback, with a thick face and a solemn bearing, and he knew that he was a tiger general.
"The last general, Gan Xinda, has seen General Bai." The tiger general turned over and dismounted, and simply clasped his fists and saluted.
Bai Yifei bowed slightly, pointed at Cui Wenqing and said: "Captain Gan, this is the husband of the Grand Governor, our uncle of the Zhenwu Army, from today onwards, this general will hand over his uncle to you to learn equestrianism, you must learn it in two days, otherwise you will come to see you!" ”
Hearing this, Cui Wenqing almost collapsed.
How could this guy threaten his subordinates with Zhizhao's words and threaten his subordinates as they were, and the time was shortened to two days, it's really dark!
Gan Xinda obviously didn't realize the doorway, and replied: "The last general will obey the order and will definitely complete the task." After speaking, he bowed to Cui Wenqing and said in a deep voice, "Uncle, please go with the general." ”
Cui Wenqing nodded helplessly, and couldn't help but glance at Bai Yifei when he left.
Bai Yifei grinned toothily and said, "Uncle, Captain Gan is the best person in my department in riding, you have to work hard to learn!" ”
Gan Xinda acted resolutely, just did what he said, and immediately led Cui Wenqing to an empty saddle horse, and asked, "I don't know what kind of equestrian skills my uncle wants to learn?" Riding and shooting? Scorch? Or is it a horse and a sheep? ”
Cui Wenqing's old face turned red, and he said with some embarrassment: "Well, just get on the horse and ride off the horse." ”
Gan Xinda was stunned, and it took a long time to understand what Cui Wenqing meant, and said depressedly: "Dare to love uncle, you can't ride a horse!" It's a bit difficult to do in just two days. ”
"Yes, I also know that the two-day schedule is a bit tight, in fact, it doesn't matter if I learn it or not, I'm just here to mix it up, don't mind Captain Gan."
"It's okay!" Gan Xinda's eyes froze, revealing a determined look, and he waved his hand and said, "The last general will immediately carry out hellish cruel training for your uncle, and keep your uncle learning to ride a horse for two days!" ”
Cui Wenqing's face was full of depression, and he was powerless to complain: I'm hell your sister!
When he said it, Gan Xinda did give Cui Wenqing a hellish training, and he practiced no less than 200 times just on and off the horse, and when he ate at noon, Cui Wenqing's inner thigh was ground and directly fell off the skin, and the crotch hurt even more.
"Your uncle, if you continue to practice like this, you have to break eggs." Cui Wenqing covered his crotch and complained, which immediately aroused a loud laugh from the surrounding soldiers.
Gan Xinda smiled and sighed: "Uncle, this is rubbing back and forth between the upper and lower horses, and the pain in the crotch is inevitable, and it will be good to grind out a layer of old skin in a few days." ”
Cui Wenqing bowed his head in frustration, suddenly thought of something, tore his throat and shouted: "Bai Yifei, when will the big pants you bought be delivered?" Prepare one for me quickly. ”
Bai Yifei walked quickly, scratched the back of his head and said, "Uncle He said that it was sent today, but somehow it hasn't arrived yet, so the last general will send someone to ask." Then he turned around and went to deliver his orders.
At this moment, a horse suddenly flew over, and immediately the knight came to Bai Yifei and rolled the saddle and dismounted, clenched his fists and said: "General Bai, there is an old man outside the door, saying that he is here to send us some big pants, I don't know if to let him enter the camp?" ”
Bai Yifei's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Quick, immediately invite Uncle He in." ”
After a while, Uncle He took his men and drove three ox carts to "clang", and said with a smile: "General Bai, the little old man sent you the pants, huh?" Aunt Cui is also here? ”
Cui Wenqing nodded and said with a smile: "Uncle He, you came at such a good time, I have been looking forward to you for a long time." ”
Uncle He smiled bitterly: "Aunt Cui doesn't know, although the pants are simple to make, but the number of three thousand is still too much, Xiao Lao'er invited eight tailors, and it took two days and two nights to complete the production, and it was immediately sent to the army when it was done." ”
Seeing that He Laohan's eyes were red, Cui Wenqing gently bowed his head in understanding, and said: "In this case, quickly show me the pants you made to see if it is suitable or not." ”
Uncle He did as he said, and hurriedly took out a pair of pants from the cargo box of the oxcart, handed it to Cui Wenqing's hand, and said excitedly: "Little Lao'er has already tried the effect of these pants, heh, it is really as my uncle said, it is close and comfortable, it is very convenient to walk, sit and lie down, and I am reluctant to take it off when I put it on, it is really a divine object!" ”
Bai Yifei said with a smile: "If that's the case, it's really wonderful, uncle, how about you take a look first?" ”
Cui Wenqing looked carefully, this pants is cut from the cheapest cotton, and the cuff of the pants is made of cowhide bands as elastic, and the size is very similar to the pants of later generations.
At this time, Gan Xinda and other generals gathered one after another, and when they saw that Cui Wenqing and Bai Yifei both had solemn expressions, they couldn't help but ask curiously: "General Bai, I don't know what Aunt Cui is holding in his hand?" ”
The corners of Bai Yifei's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and a strange color quickly disappeared, and he replied truthfully: "This is the Bird's Nest brand pants!" ”
"Pants? Bird's Nest? A sound of surprise followed, and everyone was puzzled.
A military general with a knotted beard asked, "Dare to ask General Bai, I don't know what these pants are?" ”
Without waiting for Bai Yifei to answer, Cui Wenqing had already interjected with a smile: "This thing is a close-fitting pants for everyone to wear, to put it bluntly, it is used to carry eggs, cavalry foot soldiers wear this thing, it is very convenient to march on horseback, and there will be no friction pain." ”
The generals looked at each other, and many people had already woken up, and their eyes suddenly shone brightly, and they all gathered to look at the pants in Cui Wenqing's hand, and their faces showed eagerness to try.
Cui Wenqing nodded with satisfaction, looked around at the generals with blank eyes, and said with a smile: "This thing is still novel, you have to wear it to evaluate, in my opinion, everyone might as well give it a try and see what the effect is?" ”
Bai Yifei nodded in agreement, and with a wave of his big hand, he ordered with a bold voice: "Order, the whole army will return to the camp and wear pants!" ”
