"These days, in addition to the brothers in the army stuffing people to work as family members in my place, there are also many people who have come to our door and want to defect to us. Among them, there are many people who see our family's wealth and climb the dragon and the phoenix, but there are also some who come here because of Ah Yue's achievements and want to serve under your account. I've taken a closer look, and there are three of them who are really good, and they are really capable people, Ah Yue, you can take them with you when you leave tomorrow. "Chenjiang River Road.

"Since Daddy said yes, it must be good, I'll take it tomorrow." Chen Yue nodded.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, the three young people stood in the courtyard outside Chen Yue's room.

The most worn person is called Lin Fucheng, a native of Shanxi, who is relatively silent and does not speak much. The thinner man is called Zhang Chengkai, but he is from Fujian, and his official dialect has a strong Hokkien accent.

The youngest one is named Yu Feng, but he is a native of the capital, he is the son of an official eunuch, his father has a reputation for being a county magistrate for two terms, but he himself does not like to read since he was a child, and loves to dance with guns and sticks, and he is determined to make meritorious contributions to the army to the famous general Qi Jiguang who swept away the Japanese invaders, but his eyes are too high, and he does not look down on the general Ming army. For this reason, his family gave Chen Jianghe a large sum of silver, so that he must take good care of his youngest son.

"What should I do if you send such a young master to me?" Chen Yue smiled bitterly at his father Chen Jiangdao.

"Don't look at his young age and good background, this kid's martial arts are really good, he can pull eight buckets of strong bows, fifty steps away from eight out of ten. He is good at riding and can shoot arrows with a bow on a horse. The children of rich families are different, and they have been able to practice martial arts since they were young. What's even more rare is that this kid has read military books and speaks a set of things, as long as he has a little experience, he will definitely be able to help a lot. Chen Jianghe sighed in admiration, looking at his appearance, he was quite reluctant to give Yu Feng to Chen Yue.

"What about the bitter man?" Chen Yue pointed to Lin Fucheng, whose clothes were shabby.

"Are you talking about Lin Fucheng? His experience is too complicated, his family was originally a big family in Shanxi, in Chongzhen seven years, the Manchu chief Taiji broke through the pass, attacked to Datong, Xuanhua direction, tens of thousands of Manchu and Mongolian troops in Shanxi, hundreds of people were ravaged, Lin Fucheng's whole family was killed, he was plundered back to Liaodong because of his young age to do coating. In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the Manchu Tatars broke through the pass again, Lin Fucheng followed into the pass as a white-armored soldier, but pretended to die in a battle, so as to escape from the Mantar queue and return to the Ming Dynasty, wandering in the Gyeonggi area. This time, I heard that you had won a great victory over the Tartars, so I came to our house and begged to be able to join the army.

This man has been in the Tartar Lair for four years, knows everything about them, and can ride and shoot, so it will definitely be useful to follow you. ”

The experience is similar to that of He Lu, but he is not contaminated with the flattering habits of He Lu, and he seems to be a talent. Chen Yue nodded and asked the origin of the last one named Zhang Chengkai.

This person is a native of Fujian, his family has been doing business for generations, relying on sea ships to travel between Fujian and Tianjin, but in a sea voyage the ship was destroyed by the Japanese invaders, and the whole ship, including his father, was killed, Zhang Chengkai only spared, climbed to the shore hard, and defected to distant relatives in the capital. Mantar entered the customs, the city gate was closed, most of the people in the capital lived a very hard life, his distant relative's shop could not continue to operate and closed the door, he could only find another way to eat, somehow found our door. I saw that he knew some martial arts, and he was literate and could make accounts, so I thought that the army also needed some scribes to manage the grain and grass, so I kept him. ”

The three of them have their own characteristics, which shows that his father Chen Jianghe is really attentive. After Chen Yue thanked his father, he said goodbye to Wu Wan'er, and then left home with a few people.

Wu Wan'er reluctantly sent it to the gate, looking at the backs of Chen Yue and her younger brother Chen Ping, and sobbing quietly.

"Wan'er is a good girl, next time you come back, you will kiss her." Chen Jianghe rode on his horse and said to his son, who was beside him.

"I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry to get married!" Chen Yue said softly, and for some reason, the beautiful little face of Princess Kunxing suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Alas, to be honest, your official is getting bigger and bigger, Wan'er is a little unworthy of you, it's not very good to be a main room, but it's okay to be a concubine." Chen Jianghe sighed lightly.

Chen Yue shook his head and fell silent, Wu Wan'er is a good person, she is beautiful and literate, and she has good business methods. But I only appreciate her, but I don't have the feeling of a heart-pounding call.

Seeing that Chen Yue was silent, Chen Jianghe no longer persuaded him, but talked about other things.

The two talked all the way and went straight to Xibianmen, and several family members followed behind.

The Mantars have not retreated, and the city gate cannot be opened no matter what, even if the main force of the Mantars has gone far away to the land of Shandong at this moment. Because no one dared to order the gates to open at the risk of falling, and no one dared to take the responsibility. So Chen Yue and the others could only sit on the hanging basket again.

The hanging basket was slowly sent down from the city, the hunting cold wind hit, Chen Yue couldn't help but shudder, a city wall separated the two worlds, the city is a prosperous world, but outside the city is the endless wilderness of the desert.

More than 200 soldiers were stationed in the coal yard compound, and they had already arranged a neat queue to welcome their inspectors back. Oh, no, it can't be called a patrol now, Chen Yue has been promoted to a seventh-rank soldier.

"Your Excellency!" Yang Zhengping hurriedly greeted him and exclaimed in surprise.

"Brother Zhengping, I have already sent your letter to my sister-in-law and told her that you are all right. My sister-in-law and little nephew are also very good, and my little nephew is now studying in a private school. Chen Yue smiled and said to Yang Zhengping.

"That's good, that's good!" Yang Zhengping rubbed his big hands and laughed.

"The three of you will join my personal guard first, practice hard for a month, and if you practice well, you can stay, if you can't do it, you will come and go!" Chen Yue said to Lin Fucheng, Yu Feng and Zhang Chengkai behind him, and waved his hand to let Chen Yan, the captain of the personal guard, lead the three of them.

"What are these three?" Yang Zhengping asked curiously.

"The three pro-soldiers recommended to me by my father were first placed in the pro-guard team to learn the rules." Chen Yue said with a smile, "Brother Zhengping, I have been appointed by His Majesty to prepare for the Xishan Soldiers, and given Shang Fang the sword, from now on, we are the largest in the western part of Beijing, and the time has come to show our ambitions!" ”

"Shang Fang's sword?" Yang Zhengping's eyes widened in surprise.

"It's Shang Fang's sword!" Chen Yue smiled and pulled out a sword from his waist, the scabbard was engraved with a soaring dragon on one side, and a phoenix with wings spread on the other, and the black scabbard showed luxury.
