Chapter 58: Visiting the Auxiliary Camp
Hearing Xiao Xuan's words, Ke Yinyue was even a little overwhelmed. She never thought that she, a woman who had lost power, would have such a chance? It's really time to run ... However, Ke Yinyue didn't dare to be too happy at this time, and her years of career in the palace have already made Ke Yinyue's acting skills perfect. At this time, he was at a loss and said, "Holy one... Why did the Holy One do this to a concubine who was old and decrepit? The concubine really regrets that she didn't meet His Majesty earlier... ”
"Well, it's not too late, I think you still have a number in your heart, right? Even if an ordinary woman is calculated according to the Yellow Emperor's internal scriptures, there should be a few years before there are eight or eight men and seven women. . . ”
"Holy..." Ke Yinyue seemed to be moved to tears again, but she was thinking in her heart: I don't know if this emperor, who has some ability in military affairs, can continue to be so low-minded, if so. It's not that he hasn't recreated the glory of Wu Meiniang back then.
When he returned from the Forbidden City, Wang Chengen also felt a little worried, if it weren't for the unexpected ability of the Son of Heaven to manage the army, Wang Chengen even had the idea of being completely disappointed in the former King Xin. However, seeing that Xiao Xuan had no intention of spending the night in the palace, and it seemed that he was not overly depressed when his spirit and complexion came out, he felt that his previous thoughts might have been a little misunderstood.
"Holy Wisdom! I know that it is still an eventful time, and it is not appropriate to have more incidents for the time being... However, the slave maid felt that if His Majesty had to show it to some people, he would not use it by the side of such a dangerous woman. The one in the palace is safer ... ”
Hearing Wang Chengen say this, Xiao Xuan's heart relaxed, but added: "I have also thought about these things, Ke Yinyue is a smart person after all, at least he will not do stupid things, and he will not easily risk his life." As for the unknown palace maids or other concubines, I can't guarantee who is behind them... ”
"That's what the Holy One said..." At this time, Wang Chengen's initial worries were mostly resolved.
When Xiao Xuan returned to the vicinity of the old camp of the Imperial Horse Prison Army, night had already fallen. By the time the daytime training was completed, except for a few people who served as sentry posts and stayed on duty, most of the teenagers in the battalion had already fallen asleep. The final rule in the Guards camp was that the main rest was in the first half of the night, that is, from nightfall to midnight, and that no hour's sleep could be made up at noon. In the second half of the night, archery training, night combat training, and morning reading should be organized. In the middle of the push: If you encounter an irresistible enemy in the first half of the night, the night attack army collapses, and the probability of total destruction is much lower. However, if the battle lasted until dawn in the early hours of the morning, it would be much easier for the enemy cavalry to pack and wrap up. That's probably why many raid battles in modern times are held in the second half of the night instead of the first half. What's more, it often takes a lot of marching time to break through the barracks' cordon during the day.
Of course, this mainly refers to the children of the war barracks, and the craftsmen of the auxiliary camp are reaping indescribable joy at this time. The energy was much more abundant than usual, and the sound of polishing arrowheads, pounding gunpowder, and processing firearms was evident as it approached twenty paces, and even the time did not seem to stop. These old fritter craftsmen can work for one hour a day in the government-run workshop, and it would be good to have two hours of work time in three days. More often than not, it is the officials who assist the responsible officials in supervising the work of others. It's hard to believe that they are craftsmen from the old workshop, and that this is the kind of enthusiasm that has not been supervised by the overseers.
"Holy! The saint is coming! When Xiao Xuan walked into the auxiliary workshop, the excited cheers rang out, which seemed to make Xiao Xuan feel that he had not traveled to the last emperor of a twilight feudal dynasty, but to North Korea, which had not yet faced economic difficulties in the late Cold War and was at the peak of its people's heart.
"I look at your state, you don't look like a middle-aged uncle or even an old man who pulls a family, even young people don't have the vigor of you, what's wrong today?" Xiao Xuan asked with a smile. Of course, Xiao Xuan has weighed it psychologically, since modern sweatshops often specify that they do not want smart people over the age of 25 when recruiting workers, and they do not want old fritters over the age of 35 when there is a shortage of workers, it means that people of this age group are not suitable for the "modernist" set of management principles, and are more suitable for the more proactive morale guidance method.
"The villain is here...
"Alas, what a villain is small, I have decided: even in front of me, you can use the word 'I'... Oh, if it really doesn't feel like it's appropriate. It's okay to be subordinate to the next... Xiao Xuan said in an approachable tone.
"This... Be... In the twenty-fifth year of Wanli, he has been working in the workshop of the heavenly family, and it has been more than 30 years. I have never heard of such a thing as a job that can be exchanged for military merit or even a title, and it is not the end of the year, the month festival, and the festival after success. It can be settled on a daily basis. At first, everyone thought that one day was divided, and this was just a holy attempt to boost everyone's morale. But I didn't expect that at dinner, many people's homes really came to the news, saying that the imperial village around the capital has begun to erect a monument... That's not all, the wages are also settled on a daily basis, and every day of work is done, without mistakes, there is a savings of one hundred and fifty dollars! This is something that could not have been imagined in the past... ”
"From the Imperial Horse Prison to the decisive battle in the Forbidden City, your contribution is by no means inferior to that of the children of the barracks, and these honors and rewards are deserved. If it weren't for your hard work in processing ammunition and making artillery in the past half a month or nearly a month, it would never have been possible to defeat the rebels with several times the strength so easily... Xiao Xuan said with a smile.
Of course, when he said this, Xiao Xuan also suddenly stopped, thought for a moment and began to say to everyone: "In the past half a month, because of the pressure of the battle, the number of rush is the most important. After this month's work, at least within the ability of the officers and men to carry it. Weapons, arrows, gunpowder, may not be too scarce. But have you thought about it? Now you are also a member of the army that will be in the battle formation in person, and there is always a limit to what you can carry during the march and battle. At best, one horse per person, three or four people in a car, this may be the limit. Carrying so many firearms and gunpowder in combat can only be confined to towns or plains where the land is relatively easy to walk, and to further increase our combat effectiveness, we have to start from other efforts... ”
