After settling the problem of the officers and men's private possession of their belongings before noon, the three armed forces casually ate a little dry food and set out from the northern coast of Tai O Island to the southeast and the highlands on the east coast across the sea from Nan'ao Island.

When they arrived at the location of Donggang Village in the later generations, Shen Xi ordered the whole army to stop and start setting up a camp.

The officers and soldiers were busy, and soon the tents were erected, and then began to build fortifications, and the big guys were busy all afternoon and finally finished their work, and one by one they were tired, and the men began to bury the pot and cook, and the rest of the officers and soldiers were lying or sitting in twos and threes, and chatting together.

Shen Xi held the binoculars, but he was not aiming at Nanao Mountain across the sea, but at the camp of his army.

At this time, he sighed in his heart, and he had a long way to go to build this army into an elite army. Fortunately, the Japanese and pirates in the last years of Hongzhi were not successful, if it really met the most powerful era of the Ming Dynasty, this team to achieve the records of Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou in history, it is tantamount to a fantasy.

Shen Xi personally went out and walked around the barracks. With him, the supreme commander, patrolling the camp, the officers and soldiers finally boosted their morale a little, and even their attention improved, but this was far from enough in Shen Xi's opinion.

"Tomorrow to attack Nanao Island, I hope you don't let me down!"

Shen Xi said, walking in the direction of the south of the barracks, and the guards behind him showed surprise on their faces.

Generally speaking, the southern part of the barracks has always been a place to place the wounded and sick, which is also set by Shen Xi at the beginning of the army, but whenever the camp is set up, the wounded and sick will be arranged in the south of the barracks. In this way, even if the camp is moved, or if a new wounded or sick person is created, the officers and men of the three services will know where to send them.

In addition to being a place for the sick and wounded, the southern part of the camp would also be escorted if they caught enemy prisoners.

In the words of those veterans, the southern part of this camp is a "heavenly evil position", and it is best not to go there for the rest of your life, otherwise you will be infected with bad luck. As a result, it was basically recruits who were stationed and cared for the sick and wounded, and who managed prisoners.

The purpose of Shen Xi's visit to Nanying was to comfort the "injured and sick".

The army went north like a bamboo, and there were no wounded soldiers in the vicinity of Chenghai and on Da'ao Island, and now the only sick number is Jing Yue, who was killed by Shen Xi and made an example of forty military sticks.

At this time, Jing Yue was lying on the wooden board paved with dry straw and dead leaves, his butt was facing the sky, and he was talking to the recruit who was mixing ointment for him.

Zhongwuju means that he is not purely a rough person, he can read and hyphenate words, just like Wang Lingzhi. The martial arts exam is a battle strategy assessment, and the Ming Dynasty does not need a general who doesn't even know a word.

It's a pity that many of the hereditary thousands of households and middle- and lower-level officers are illiterate, which is also the reason why the quality of the Ming soldiers is generally not high.

Shen Xi has been very important to Jing Yue from the beginning, in addition to this person's righteousness and reliability, but also because Jing Yue has a certain mind and speaks in a clear manner, in Shen Xi's eyes, he is a talent.

As for Sun Xinian, those people are essentially similar to Jing Yue, but Shen Xi always has a feeling of playing the piano with the cow when communicating with him, these people admit in person but go their own way behind the scenes, even if they cultivate with their hearts, what they end up creating is just a wreck that only knows how to flatter, greedy for life and afraid of death.

Originally, the recruit who had prepared the ointment was extremely envious when he heard it, but when he saw Shen Xi enter the camp with his personal guards, he was so frightened that he trembled all over, and he didn't realize that he should get up and salute, but just lowered his head and continued to mix the ointment.

Jing Yue scolded: "Look at your kid's nest, how can you fight with Lao Tzu in the future and make contributions?" Tell you, serve Lao Tzu's belly well, and Lao Tzu will cultivate you hand in hand! ”

"Who are you going to cultivate?"

Shen Xi asked coldly.

Jing Yue was startled, he realized why the recruit who was in charge of taking care of people was so afraid, and immediately glanced back at Shen Xi, and wanted to get up and salute, but the injury on his buttocks was a little serious, so he could only lie there and kowtow: "My lord, the injury on the cheek of the humble is not good, so I won't get up and salute you." ”

Although the words were quite respectful, Shen Xi could hear the resentment contained in them.

This is also where Shen Xi admires Jing Yue, although this person has the fire that ordinary people have, but he is generally knowledgeable and relaxed, and he is not a nonsense or faceless person.

Jing Yue was deeply influenced by the Confucian idea of moderation, and Shen Xi remembered that Li Che, the commander of the capital of Guangdong, instructed Jing Yue to send Liuya to the ship, perhaps even Li Che felt that Jing Yue was thick and fine, and would not mess things up.

can kill the enemy in front of the general, because Jing Yue has the pride and enthusiasm of a warrior; can be used as a personal guard to protect the left and right, because he is very loyal to his duties and responsible; can be a friend to talk to, although his speech is rough but his speech is coherent; can be a staff member to give advice, because he is knowledgeable, although many wisdom is not worth mentioning in Shen Xi's opinion; He can even be a lackey and do some dirty things that are not visible, because he also knows how to bend and welcome, and is well versed in the golden mean of Confucianism.

This is the impression that Jing Yue left on Shen Xi, it is simply ...... All-rounder!

Shen Xi sat on the stool next to the wooden plank, and with a wave of his hand, the guards and the recruits with the ointment all consciously withdrew from the camp. Shen Xi sighed: "Lao Jing, do you still blame me for beating you?" ”

Jing Yue laughed at himself a little: "If the adults want to fight, it makes sense, it's all because the lowly position was blinded by lard for a while, and when he saw the money, he opened his eyes and put a few silver bills in his pocket." After that, the humble position also figured it out, the adult wanted to deter those rabbit cubs in the army, thinking about it this way, the humble duty was not beaten in vain. But...... Alas! ”

The words were not finished, but Shen Xi knew that Jing Yue's words were unfinished.

Why is it me and not someone else who is being beaten? There are so many loot hidden in the private army, you can just catch one of them, and you shouldn't use a person who is loyal to you as the target of killing chickens and monkeys!

Jing Yue advocates reciprocating with peach, and Shen Xi values him very much, so he repays him with loyalty. But he paid his loyalty, and accordingly felt that Shen Xi should use him more more than pull him out of the top tank when he needed to make an example, which made him feel extremely embarrassed.

Shen Xi shook his head: "Lao Jing, although we haven't known each other for a long time, but these three armies, I think you are the most capable ......"

"Don't dare to be, my lord, you must not elevate the lowly position, you know best how many catties and taels of the lowly position, I can follow you from the hundred households to the deputy thousand households, it is already the ancestral tomb is smoking, and the three lives are lucky. Humble duty is a little difficult to figure out, but you are kind to me, and at the same time, humble duty is not good with your own future, and you are angry, how was it before and the same will be the case in the future, don't you say? ”

Jing Yue first analyzed his situation and the position he should have, and when he said this, even Shen Xi felt that it made some sense.

Jing Yue, although you tried your best to follow me, but I also let you get military merits, not only a lot of rewards, but also increased the rank of knight, as a result, you secretly hid the spoils of war in front of me, beat you lightly, cut off your head and really kill a hundred examples, you have nothing to say.

But Jing Yue's sensibility made Shen Xi feel very comfortable, and he said: "Since you can understand, it is even better, you have indeed gone too far, and you are too ostentatious, if I don't punish you, it will only make the three armies think that this atmosphere is my acquiescence." ”

"But you are diligent on weekdays, and it is indeed a bit harsh for letting people beat you forty kills, this time on the expedition, if you can return to Guangzhou Mansion safely, you will be allowed to compensate for your good land and beautiful house."

Jing Yue was stunned and said, "My lord...... Say what? ”

"What, you are still not satisfied with the beautiful house, do you want to let the official go bankrupt and compensate you for your medical expenses?" Shen Xi looked at Jing Yue coldly.

At this time, the resentment in Jing Yue's heart had already disappeared, and he smiled and said: "My lord, you are out of sight, the humble cheeks are not worth any good land and beautiful house, if you like it, if you like it......"

Shen Xi waved his hand and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”

"Yes, yes, it's the fault of the lowly position, the adults don't like it...... Ahem, if you feel that you need to fight dozens of more military sticks to establish military authority, you just have to open your mouth and command. As for the good field and beautiful house, it is not necessary. Jing Yue said with a grin.

Shen Xi shook his head helplessly: "The good land and beautiful house I am talking about may be just a small farm yard, and there are still a few acres of land, do you really think that this official will buy you a three-entry mansion and hundreds of acres of ripe land?" Recuperate, tomorrow's battle for the island, you stay on Tai O Island......"

Jing Yue was a little dissatisfied when he heard this: "Adults don't underestimate people, although the humble position is injured, but after a night of conditioning, tomorrow will definitely be alive and vigorous, and there is no problem in killing the enemy." ”

Shen Xi said: "This official also wants to stay in Tai O, what are you doing in Nanao Mountain?" ”

One sentence made Jing Yue speechless, his responsibility is to be Shen Xi's personal guard, Shen Xi does not need to go to Nanao Island to fight, he took the initiative to ask for help, it is inevitably a bit of a matter of sacrificing the basics.

Shen Xi stood up and walked out, Jing Yue turned around: "My lord, you can't send each other off, you can take care of some ......" Shen Xi left the camp with his front feet, and he heard Jing Yue shouting in the tent, "Ah Shun, come in and apply medicine to Lao Tzu, do you hear?" ”

Shen Xi shook his head and smiled, and when he took a few steps forward, he saw a person sitting on a tree stump in annoyance, his hands bound by shackles, and he was raising his head to look at him viciously at this time.

It was Jiang Liwei who Shen Xi hadn't paid attention to for many days.

The once beautiful Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi Zhenfu is now so down, it is really embarrassing.

The cause of the incident was that Jiang Liwei accepted a bribe from Song Kuang. At this time, Song Kuang was beheaded, and there was no proof of his death, Shen Xi had already confirmed his crime, Jiang Liwei figured it out along the way, the sooner he left Shen Xi's control and rushed back to the capital, the easier it would be to explain clearly, if it was a long time, and when he returned to Beijing, the case would have been decided, then it would be too late, and no one would be able to overturn the case for him.

If it really comes to that point, only Shen Xi, who knows the roots, can help him exonerate him, and at that time he can only ask Shen Xi for extrajudicial mercy. There is another problem, if Shen Xi returns to the dynasty victoriously, it is okay, and others can listen to Shen Xi's words, but if Shen Xi is defeated, then his grievances will not be able to get snow.

With Jiang Liwei's ingenuity, he has clearly thought about all the stakes during this time, but now he doesn't even have the least freedom, so he sighs in vain. (To be continued.) )
