Chapter XXXIV. imminent
The policy of carrots and sticks is really not backward in any era for mankind.
"One, two, one! One, two, one! Turn right, one-two-one! β
Early in the morning, the loud shouts have filled the West Camp, this time there is no need for Mao Jue to shout in person, the huge sea is in front, Shen Rong is in the back, and the neat sound of small flags has become a unique scenery in Dongjiang Town in the past few days.
Check the bedding neatly in the morning, three whips and one hundred push-ups for the messy, and then run morning exercises, one hour in the morning in the military posture, then fighting, tactics, one hour in the afternoon in the military posture, followed by the queue, in short, do not let the soldiers of the four hundred households idle.
However, for his own soldiers, Mao Jue is really willing to spend money, and he sticks money to buy meat and kill sheep for them, supplement food, and also grind and soak Yuan Chonghuan's distribution of rice and white noodles from Mao Youde, all of which are for the soldiers to eat, and it is estimated that there is no better food than the thirteenth thousand households in the entire Western Battalion, catching up with the treatment of ordinary generals.
Such a situation made the entire camp love and hate, envy and mock these thirteen thousand households, and Mao Jue also got two nicknames, King Mao Yan! Cook Mao!
After running the morning exercise, a meal of rice porridge and duck eggs and hot rice made the spirit of Qianhusuo obviously lift up again, and once again lined up in formation, but this time the array was a lot looser, and the soldiers did not carry weapons, but everyone's faces were extremely grim.
"Ready, fall!"
Xiaoqi shouted the order, and one by one the soldiers fell directly backwards, or smashed directly backwards.
In the future, cold weapon fighting will be inevitable, not to mention now, if you want to beat someone, you have to practice beating first! Those who fall to the ground and can get up again have a chance to leave alive on the battlefield, and those who can't get up if they fall down are dead.
In the dust, these Ming soldiers practiced hard to fall, and the more they fell, the stronger they became!
This has an extra layer of meaning for Mao Jue, these more than 400 people have taken off a lot of casual habits, and the men who have formed an army are not afraid of pain under his order, and their backs are smashed on the ground, and the majesty of his military orders has become more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, when the nerves of these people are numb, on the battlefield, even if he gives an order, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of them, these people will never take a step back.
This is the machine-like modern army.
Yuan Shikai, the founder of the later Beiyang warlords, although his behavior was despicable, but his small station training also created China's first modern army like this, and inadvertently, Mao Jue learned from him.
However, holding his arms on the side and watching the team under his hands become more and more different, Mao Jue seemed a little unhappy, this is already the last few days of this October, and there has been news that Yuan Chonghuan and the team have set off from Ningyuan, and in three or five days, they will arrive at Phi Island.
Although he has been cramming for the past few days, Mao Jue can be regarded as mastering a team that can be used at critical moments, but knowing himself and knowing his opponent, he is invincible, he really doesn't know Yuan Chonghuan's means in Dongjiang Town now, and he doesn't know who it will be when the time comes, not to mention Yuan Chonghuan's own soldiers, Shen Shikui, Chen Jisheng, which one does not hold thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands?
The unknown is the most terrifying.
"Young master, there are a lot of soldiers in Liaodong Town who have left the camp these days, but there are almost no people who have left the camp with parcels and boxes, and there are even fewer who have shoes and gold and silver treasures to meet my Dongjiang generals!"
"Are you sure?"
Listening to Wen Meng's report, Mao Jue still asked uneasily, but the latter nodded affirmatively, and then lowered his voice with some hesitation.
"Young master, are you mistaken, Inspector Yuan will really ...... us Mao Shuai"
The rest of Wen Meng didn't dare to continue, but gently wiped his hand around his neck.
It's not a question of whether it will be, but it has already happened, borrowing SchrΓΆdinger's law, quantum is unstable, and anything can happen, in this time and space, Mao Jue just knew that Yuan Chonghuan would definitely come to kill Mao Wenlong, he nodded helplessly, and then turned his head unwillingly to look at the hundred households in training.
"Lao Wen, you continue to watch in the afternoon, I will go back to the mansion and inquire again, this matter is not only about wealth and nobility, but also about life and death, we must not relax!"
"Young master, don't worry! Although our old text is messing around, we know in our hearts that there is no mistake! β
Not to mention that Wen Meng is his uncle, now that this is the main relationship, both of them are both losses and prosperity, nodding to him again, Mao Jue suddenly walked to the front of the queue and shouted loudly.
"Stop training, disband! Dine! β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the afternoon, Wen Meng ordered the team to stand in a military posture, and then stared at the group of soldiers with wide eyes, and brought two personal soldiers, while Mao Jue slipped away to the outside of the camp in a gray manner.
The whole battalion is in training, and the barracks area is empty, but the gate of the camp is still heavily guarded, and it is even busier than before, and the teams are frequently mobilized.
"Stop! Who? β
Far away, there were already patrol soldiers who unceremoniously stopped the three of them, but relying on the special identity of his family's Qianzong, Mao Jue's personal soldiers were not fuel-efficient lamps, and the guy on the left who looked quite thin but had sharp monkey cheeks shouted arrogantly.
"Blind your dog's eyes, don't you even recognize our Mao Ye?"
"There are a lot of Mao Ye in the camp! Does Lao Tzu know which green onion you are? These guys are suspicious, and they are surrounded by Lao Tzu! β
Obviously choked, more than a dozen patrolmen surrounded fiercely, and the sharp spears pointed directly at Mao Jue's three, encircling them in the middle. This has been in and out of the barracks a lot of times, this treatment is the first time I have encountered it, Mao Jue himself was a little caught off guard, he should admit it and have to admit it, not to mention the pro-soldiers, he hurriedly put out a smile and hugged his fist at the patrol commander.
"Ben will always be friends with you Mao Kexi Mao Qian, please go and report it, just say that I, Mao Jue, want to go out of the camp to do errands!"
"Fart, how can you, a little Qianhu, report at will, and still want to go out of the camp? Lao Tzu sees that you just want to be a deserter, put down your weapons, and go back with your grandfather obediently, otherwise! β
"What the hell is going on?"
A little anxious, the thin monkey soldier directly pulled out the knife with itchy teeth, but these guys were not frightened, the spear was more fierce with a murderous aura.
Such a tense moment, fortunately, a sudden shout came from behind.
"Presumptuous!"
"General!"
Seeing Mao Kexi hurriedly coming out with a waist knife, the patrol sentry quickly stepped forward with his fists in his hands, and Mao Kexi slapped him on the helmet coldly, and scolded him.
"I don't know Mr. Mao anymore? Dare to make a mistake here, and don't give Lao Tzu a roll! β
It's really forbidden here, more than a dozen soldiers didn't let go of a fart, they withdrew their spears and left, and then, Mao Kexi walked quickly in front of Mao Jue with a smiling face, holding his fist and laughing.
"Don't blame the last brother, it's not that the military order on Mao Shuaiye's side has been very tight recently, and there are more people, a few rough martial artists, I haven't seen the last brother, don't be like them!"
No wonder I feel that something is wrong at the gate of the camp, I go in and out on weekdays, and most of the sergeants guarding the door know themselves, where did the stunned blue come out? Mao Jue didn't think much about it, and directly hugged his fist at Mao Kexi with some shame.
"Brother Kexi is serious, it's still the younger brother's, there is something in the house, and I hope that Brother Kexi will be accommodating and let the younger brother out of the camp!"
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!"
The corners of his mouth raised a high arc upward, the thick mustache was scattered, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly, this meaty, vicious general Mao Kexi had a rich smile and hugged Mao Jue's shoulders with a smile.
Out of the camp encountered this little episode, the rest was very smooth, or along the corner door where the servants bought vegetables, Mao Jue slipped back to the house, he didn't live for two months, this small building made him feel quite nostalgic, let the two soldiers wait outside, Mao Jue crept in.
On the second floor, Su Yi was carrying a pen to write calculations in the account book, pulling the abacus twice from time to time, and a pair of black hands covered her eyes suddenly, and then a smooth voice sounded in her ears.
"Guess who Lao Tzu is...... hey, oh, plain clothes, it's me, your young master, let go! Loosen your mouth! β
The scene of the little girl being teased by the young master has not yet been played, Mao Jue has already covered her hands and jumped up and down like a big horse monkey, she was also startled, her little face was flushed, and Su Yi hurriedly held Mao Jue's arm again, and apologized in a panic.
"Ahh Young master, Suyi doesn't know, you, you ......, I'll blow it for you! β
was bitten by this girl, Mao Jue really didn't dare to send his hand to Suyi's sharp teeth for a while, walked to the side of the bed, sat down with his ass, and after a while, he eased up and grinned viciously at this girl.
"Dare to bite your young master! After a few days, let's see how Ben Shao cleans you up! β
This girl is probably also a bad girl, obviously thinking about it in that direction, her little face became more flushed, but the plain clothes are also exciting enough, and her little ass sat down next to Mao Jue, and she opened her mouth to divert the topic.
"Young master, you ordered Su Yi to keep an eye on that kid from Liaodong Town, he has eyebrows in the past two days!"
After all, Yuan Chonghuan's threat was imminent, he rubbed the tooth marks on his hand, and glanced at the girl angrily, and Mao Jue became serious again.
"What did that guy surnamed Wu do?"
"The day before yesterday, he went to Wanghailou to set a table, and the banquet was Shen Dali, the capital of the front door!"
"Shen Dali!"
This name obviously made Mao Jue's brows twisted, he has been in the barracks for two months, he is no longer the newcomer, and he knows a lot about the intricate relationship, this Shen Dali is not an ordinary person, but Shen Shikui's nephew, his own nephew!
In the end, the matter is involved in Shen Shikui, if Yuan Chonghuan colludes with the most powerful military leader in the Dongjiang River, the matter will be a little tricky! Standing up suddenly, standing by the window, Mao Jue turned around three or four times, and suddenly put his hand on the window again, but looked at the backyard.
"Suyi, I want to ask you something, Young Master Ben married you, if, if he quarrels with your father that day, who will you help?"
"It's just a hypothesis, we have to help one side!"
"Of course help the young master!"
The chick blurted out almost without thinking.
"Women have virtues, follow their fathers at home, and marry their fathers!"
