Chapter 70: Cui Tuan's training envoy
Zhong Hao followed Cui Tuan's training into the village, the cool breeze blew, his body was sweating profusely, and he couldn't help but feel a deep coolness on his body. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Just now, he ran all the way to survive, and he had already exhausted all his physical strength, but now that he was safe, Zhong Hao was almost collapsed. Zhong Hao relied on his last willpower to support himself and followed Cui Tuanlian into the village.
Entering the wall, Zhong Hao saw that there were many houses behind the wall, and not far behind the house was a mountain, the ridge was densely covered with people, and the whole mountain behind the village seemed to be a huge quarry.
Zhong Hao sat down in the room with Cui Tuanlian's envoy, and hurriedly thanked him: "Little brother Zhong Hao, thank you for Brother Cui's life-saving grace." ”
The man waved his hand and said, "It's a trivial matter, I don't care about those grass robbers in Erlong Mountain." Then he smiled again: "Hehe, why are they chasing you?" Did you really kill the people on Erlong Mountain? ”
"How can the younger brother have any ability to kill the people of Erlong Mountain, the younger brother was tied up the mountain by the strongman of Erlong Mountain, and the killed eldest brother Han Guang has some relationship with the younger brother, in order to save the younger brother, he was killed by the person named Gu Laosi."
Thinking of Han Guang's tragic death to save himself, Zhong Hao couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. In his past and present lives, Zhong Hao saw a fresh life pass away in person for the first time, and the impact on his soul was quite large, especially since this person died to save him.
Thinking of this, Zhong Hao secretly swore that he must make Erlongshan and Su Yuefei pay the price. After Zhong Hao came to the Great Song Dynasty, he has always been kind and kind, and at this time, for the first time in his heart, he had murderous intent towards the person he hated.
Cui Tuanlian said: "These grass cowards know all day long that they are really annoying. "Cui Tuanlian actually hates these thieves very much, but the mountains here are high and the forests are dense, and these thieves are inexhaustible. Since he couldn't do enough to suppress them, he didn't want to provoke them, otherwise it would be a troublesome matter.
"Brother, your jade pendant was really given to you by the old lady?" Cui Tuanlian asked. After all, it was a matter of offending Erlongshan, and Cui Tuanlian still had to confirm Zhong Hao's identity to see if it was worth offending Erlongshan's bandits.
Zhong Hao hurriedly replied: "That jade pendant is indeed given to the younger brother by Cui Lao, the younger brother and Cui Lao are chess friends, and they have a bit of a relationship, and the younger brother and Cui Ye and Cui Liugongzi are indeed close friends!" “
The man surnamed Cui heard Zhong Hao say that he had a lot of relationship with Cui Lao, and he was even more close friends with Cui Ye, so he became respectful at the moment, and said loudly: "Zhong Gongzi, don't call me Brother Cui anymore, Uncle Ye is talking about the sixth uncle, since Zhong Gongzi is my sixth uncle's best friend, just call me by my name, my big name is Cui Feng." ”
Zhong Hao was not easy to take in front of Cui Feng, and hurriedly said: "Brother Cui, don't kill the little brother, you are my life-saving benefactor, call the eldest brother by his name, how can this be done?!" ”
"Haha, it's okay, what's wrong with that. Zhong Gongzi, you can recuperate in our village, and I will arrange for someone to send you into the city tomorrow! ”
"So, thank you Brother Cui!"
Cui Feng asked people to take some wound medicine and bandage Zhong Hao's wounds, but fortunately, they were all skin injuries, although they were very painful, they didn't hurt their muscles and bones, but they were fine. Cui Feng asked people to bring some food again, Zhong Hao was really hungry, and he was not polite at the moment, chatting with Cui Feng while eating.
After chatting with the two, Zhong Hao knew that this place was called the stone unloading shed, and the largest quarry in Qingzhou was built on the continuous stone unloading ridge behind the cottage.
Before the Great Song Dynasty, the houses, pavilions and various buildings were mostly bamboo and wood structures. Bamboo-and-wood buildings are expensive, difficult to use for a long time, and prone to fire. In today's Great Song Dynasty, the world is peaceful, the population is increasing, and the houses in the big cities are gradually dense, and it is more difficult to prevent fire. During the Taizu period, there was a fire in Kaifeng, which burned down the houses of two squares before it was extinguished, and countless gorgeous bamboo and wood mansions were destroyed by fire. So from then on, the Great Song Dynasty began to promote the construction of masonry structures.
Nowadays, the people of the Great Song Dynasty have gradually accepted the brick and stone structure, which is cheap to build, durable, and easy to fire resistant. Nowadays, whether it is a large family or an ordinary person, there are many houses and courtyards built with bricks and stones. This was followed by a great increase in the demand for masonry in various parts of the Great Song Dynasty, and where there were mountains, quarrying became an extremely profitable business.
The western part of Qingzhou is mountainous, and the bluestone on the mountain is not only beautiful, but also solid and durable, so it is a good place to build a quarry. This Shiling quarry is the largest quarry in the whole Qingzhou, and it can also be regarded as one of the largest quarries in the entire Jingdong Road.
The Quarry is led by the state and jointly organized by the four major families of Cui, Liu, Zheng and Tang Qingzhou, and there are as many as three or four thousand people working in quarrying alone. Although the quarrying work is very tiring, the wages here are also quite high, three or four times a month, it is difficult to get the wages in the city, so many people come to work.
In order to maintain the safety of the quarry, the state specially approved the establishment of a regiment to train the township soldiers in the western mountainous area of Qingzhou to protect the quarry. Of course, with the strict control of the military generals and officers of the Great Song Dynasty, the regimental training can be established on the unloading stone ridge, and the four major families must have exerted a lot of strength in the state. Cui Feng's regimental training, although it is the nature of the township army and militia, but it has the support of the four major families, the equipment is not bad, there are a lot of bows, arrows and spears, and the combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the local Xiang army.
Cui Feng's regimental training envoy, to be precise, should be called the capital regimental training envoy, but he is just a very small official, and he only has a capital of men and horses, which is different from the state regimental training envoy in Qingzhou. At this time, although the level is not low, theoretically there is the authority to be in charge of the training of the township regiment in Quanzhou, but it is already a fictitious post and does not have much power. In a few decades, Su Xian will go to Huangzhou to do an errand as a deputy envoy for regimental training, and that errand will be the deputy of the regimental training envoy.
However, Cui Feng is in this barren mountain and wilderness, and he is not afraid of others saying that he is arrogant, and he is ashamed to save the word "Cui Tuan", and he likes others to call him Cui Tuanlian, and the Tuan Lian is also a Tuanlian.
Unloading stone mountains and heavy rocks, peaks and peaks are verdant, mountains and mountains are constantly supported by mountains, and mountains are connected by mountains and mountains. The four families of the Dumping Ridge Quarry mainly mine stone in the East Ridge and the West Ridge of the Dumping Ridge.
Cui Feng's regiment trained troops and was stationed in the stone unloading shed. The unloading stone shed is under the north ridge of the unloading stone mountain, just the road under the mountain. On weekdays, it protects the unloading stone ridge quarry, and is also responsible for protecting the convoy of stone transport.
Of course, the strongmen on the mountains everywhere rarely come to rob their convoys transporting stones, first, Cui Feng's regiment has strong training strength, which is a few points stronger than the local Xiang army; The second is that it is useless for them to rob the stones, the mountains are full of stones, unless they are kicked in the head by a donkey, they will risk offending the four major families to rob the stones that are useless to them. Therefore, Cui Feng's regimental training is mainly responsible for protecting the workers in the Shiling Quarry and preventing the strongmen in the surrounding mountains from extorting or something.
Zhong Hao heard Cui Feng say this, and learned about the training of the stone sheds and villages, and felt a little relieved. Zhong Hao, the military system of the Great Song Dynasty, now also generally understands that the strength of the whole city is only 100 people, and he originally saw that the defense of the unloading stone shed village is not manpowered, and he is really a little worried that the bandits on Erlong Mountain will go crazy and come to attack the unloading stone shed village to arrest themselves, after all, the bandits on Erlong Mountain are said to have two or three hundred.
Now that he heard Cui Feng talk about the specific situation and learned about the combat power of this regiment's training, Zhong Hao's heart has settled down a lot.
Cui Feng patted his chest and told Zhong Hao to rest assured that if the bandits of Erlong Mountain dared to come to find trouble, they would be kept so that they would not return. No matter how they are, they can be regarded as officers and soldiers, and they can still be afraid of those strong bandits.
Zhong Hao said in his heart: Aren't you really afraid? Just now outside the gate of the village, you almost let Erlongshan arrest me, if I didn't have something to do with your Cui family, it is estimated that you, the official army, would have let the bandits arrest me.
But fortunately, it's okay now, Zhong Hao doesn't care about it, after all, if people have nothing to do with him, it is also a headache to offend a bunch of troublesome bandits for a stranger.
Zhong Hao saw that Cui Feng said it was refreshing, and his heart was also settled.
Cui Feng asked Zhong Hao to take him to rest.
Zhong Hao was also tired, he was strong to support himself just now, and he was happy to hear that Cui Feng let him go to rest first. followed Cui Feng's subordinates to a room in the back of the cottage, didn't think about anything, and fell asleep.
