Chapter 429 Long Talk
(I had nothing to do to look at the pirated version of this book just now, but I didn't expect to divide the master's book into the urban romance category, is there a bit of discipline in Nima's pirated version, and can you focus on your work!! )
Zhang Jiayu's order was sent by the Chinese officer to Ma Kun in the barracks outside the city, and in the past few months, Ma Kun and Ma Rufeng have been busy to death, and a large number of recruits have entered the army, and the size of the two regiments has been quadrupled at once, and the officers are completely insufficient. In the end, there was no choice but to let the veterans of the first and second regiments serve as a large number of low-level company and platoon officers.
Today is the 10th day of firearms training for new recruits, and in order to prevent incidents of misfire and injury, Ma Rufeng led the team to the shooting range and made all preparations.
Ma Kun received Zhang Jiayu's order at the division headquarters, and when he opened it, he scolded and said, "You want to go north now? What a fucking bullshit order! ”
When the Chinese officer saw Ma Kun's anger, he didn't dare to answer, so he stood helplessly to the side.
Ma Kun can't help it, the recruits are about to go to the battlefield as soon as they are trained, isn't this the same as cannon fodder? Most of the newly sent soldiers in Guangdong are illiterate, and they can't distinguish between their left and right feet, but the most important thing for the new army is the queue, and it takes at least half a year to train a recruit well. But now that he has only been training for three months, Ma Kun really has no choice.
Ma Kun looked at the middle officer, knowing that it was useless for him to be angry at this low-level officer, he also knew that the northern Manchu Qing was about to go south, and the emperor's order would arrive in early August, and it would be good if Lord Zhang could delay it until September.
"Okay, I know, you go and report to Lord Zhang, I will prepare this side, and I won't delay the expedition!"
The lieutenant officer got the exact news and hurried back to the city to report, and Ma Kun called his guards and asked him to call Ma Rufeng back from the training ground.
After the guards went out, it took a while for Ma Rufeng to come back, and when he entered the house, he complained: "My lord, now that the training task is so tight, why are you in such a hurry to summon me back?" ”
Ma Kun sighed and handed Zhang Jiayu's order to Ma Rufeng.
The order was very short, Ma Rufeng read it in a few eyes, and after reading it, Ma Rufeng said: "My lord, now that the recruits have just started to train shooting, how to line up, how to form various formations, how to listen to the sound of drums have not been trained, so isn't it to go directly to the front line to die?" ”
Hearing Ma Rufeng say this, Ma Kun scolded: "Can I not know, but there is no way, there are people in the DPRK who encourage His Majesty to personally conquer, and our task is to occupy Jiujiang, and then go west to recover Wuchang!" ”
Hearing the emperor's personal expedition, Ma Rufeng asked, "So Your Majesty is preparing for the Northern Expedition?" ”
Ma Kun shook his head, "I don't know about this, the order from the military aircraft department only says let us occupy Jiujiang and then go west, and the rest is not something that we soldiers can ask!" ”
"But my lord, now that the training has only been a few days, what can I do?"
"There's no way, only training while walking, the road from Ganzhou to Jiujiang is long, I estimate that it will take a month, and it should be almost the same by then!"
Hearing Ma Kun say this, Ma Rufeng can't help it, he is a soldier, and the order from above is to know that he has to be sent to death.
Just as the second horse was about to set off, the crown prince Zhu Hai was also released. Their company commander did not say anything detailed to the regiment commander, but only said that a brothel was burned. In addition, the Ganzhou Mansion got Zhang Jiayu's order, and this matter was handled coldly, and basically no one knew about the death of more than 20 people except for the parties involved, so Zhu Hai and the others came out after being locked up for three days.
Zhu Hai thought that in the past few days, there would definitely be Jinyiwei to deliver an order to let him go back to Guangdong to be punished, but after waiting for seven or eight days, there was no news. Zhu Hai was also puzzled, could it be that the Spring Visiting Court didn't dare to investigate when he saw that his side was a new army? But there is no news from the government, what is going on? Zhu Hai thought about it, probably because the teacher Zhang Jiayu pressed it down. The more Zhu Hai thought about it, the more confused he became, and decided to go to Zhang Jiayu to ask clearly, that is, his father would be prepared to ask about it in the future.
After Zhu Hai finished training that afternoon, he and the company commander took a half-day off and took Ma Da into the city to prepare to meet Zhang Jiayu.
Zhang Jiayu heard the new army soldier Ma Hai begging to see him, and smiled slightly, calculating the time, the prince should also come. Zhang Jiayu said "please", and then kicked all the others out of the room, sitting in the middle and waiting for Zhu Hai to come in.
Zhu Hai was taken to the study and saw Zhang Jiayu sitting in the middle, looking at him with a smile. Zhu Hai hurriedly saluted and said, "Teacher, the student is here!" ”
Zhang Jiayu nodded and said, "The prince, please sit down, I don't know what the prince is doing here with me?" ”
Zhu Hai heard Zhang Jiayu say this, he didn't know how to say it, and he was stunned for a while.
Seeing the prince like this, Zhang Jiayu sighed in his heart, the prince is still young, and this adaptability is still much worse.
Zhang Jiayu got up and helped Zhu Hai to his seat and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, but you are here to visit the Spring Courtyard?" ”
Hearing Zhang Jiayu say this, Zhu Hai nodded hurriedly, "That's right, the student committed a crime a few days ago, but in the past few days, he found that there was no movement in the city, and the student was afraid of being punished by his father, so he came to ask the teacher what was going on, so as not to be asked by his father about being unprepared!" ”
Zhang Jiayu didn't say anything, just picked up the file from the table and handed it to Zhu Hai, "His Royal Highness the Prince, look at this." ”
Zhu Hai took the file, which was a paper bag made of brown and yellow kraft paper, with the words "dossier" written on it in black, and the small characters on the bottom read: "On August 11 of the first year of Shenwu, the arson case of the Ganzhou Mansion of the Jiangxi Political Division visited the Spring Courtyard", on which were written two big red fonts "Closed", and the back was covered with a large seal of "Jiangxi according to the Inspector's Defense".
Zhu Hai saw that it was written on the cover, probably the case was closed. Closed the case without being interrogated at all? Zhu Hai opened the paper bag and hurriedly looked at it.
The more Zhu Hai looked at it, the more frightened he became, he didn't expect that a big case that killed more than 20 people was changed like this by the magistrate, and in the end, the unlucky turtle slave couldn't help but carry all the black pots, and his family was also implicated.
After reading it, Zhu Hai asked, "Teacher, this... That's too much! That turtle slave insulted me, but he is dead, why should his family be implicated? ”
"Your Highness, if you don't deal with his family, his family will definitely not give up, and you will have to file a lawsuit, and then I am afraid that Your Highness will be implicated! And the family of the magistrate knows that the main culprit is someone else, can he give up? So the turtle slave family must deal with it all and stay away from Ganzhou! ”
Zhu Hai thought for a while and said firmly: "Teacher, this matter is what I did, I don't want that turtle slave to match the black pot for me, if my father abolishes my crown prince for this matter, I will admit it!" ”
Zhang Jiayu was very sad to hear Zhu Hai say such words, but he didn't expect the prince to be so immature.
Zhang Jiayu got up and came to the prince's side and said, "Your Highness, do you think you can be rash now?" Do you know how much impact you have lost the crown prince's position, and what will happen to your uncle? What should I do? What about your sister? You want to turn this case over, haven't you thought about the magistrate in this case who committed perjury for the crown prince? Didn't you think what would happen to them? ”
Zhu Hai was dumbfounded when he heard Zhang Jiayu say this, yes! If you can retreat, what about these people who follow you? gave up the position of the crown prince, the second Zhu Jiang probably has a deep brotherhood and can save his life, but what about his uncle? What about teachers? What about these magistrates who have perjured for themselves?
Zhu Hai has been clothed and fed since he was a child, and grew up with his mother Ma Xiaofang. Ma Xiaofang is big-chested and brainless, and educating the child naturally hopes that he will be friendly to his brothers in the future, so Zhu Hai used to think that he was not the prince, but it was really not okay to let the second Zhu Jiang do it.
But listening to Zhang Jiayu say this today, he found that there are already many people working hard for himself as a prince to sit firmly, and now it is not that he will not do it, a huge interest group has been formed behind him, which is completely beyond his own control, and he can only go this road to the end.
Zhang Jiayu saw Zhu Hai sitting there without speaking, knowing that what he said hit him too hard, after all, he was still a fourteen-year-old child.
"Your Highness, since you have already embarked on this road, you have no choice, either you don't become the emperor, or you fail and be imprisoned for a lifetime, there is no second way to go!"
Zhu Hai raised his head and asked, "Teacher, what should I do then?" ”
"Your Highness, be kind to those who follow you, merit will be rewarded, and guilt will be punished!"
Zhu Hai nodded and asked, "Who are the officials who have perjured for me this time, and I will show them something in the future!" ”
Zhang Jiayu was very satisfied with what Zhu Hai said, and quickly reported the names of the prefect of Ganzhou and the magistrate of Ganxian County, and Zhu Hai said that he remembered it.
Zhang Jiayu saw the prince stand up and leave, and thought to himself: The prince is still too benevolent, but this is very good, at least after becoming the emperor, he is better than the ruthless Zhu Hongsan. If Zhu Hongsan is replaced in this matter, it is estimated that the officers and soldiers of the inspection department involved in the case will also be secretly executed.
When Zhu Hai returned to the army, it was almost time to eat, and he was full of thoughts that he could eat, and he said to the third child with the squad leader and lay down in the barracks.
After eating, it was dark, and it was Zhu Hai's turn to be on duty tonight, and when it was time to hold the lamp, Zhu Hai came to the guard box at the door of the barracks with a rifle.
The New Army was a company and a battalion, and all 110 people lived together. Two soldiers and one officer were on duty every night to prepare for the unexpected. Zhu Hai was in the middle of the night tonight, and someone came to replace him after a while.
Zhu Hai didn't eat at night, and if he slept, he wouldn't be hungry. But where can I sleep on duty, I can't stand being hungry until nine o'clock in the evening, and I begin to regret why I don't eat.
Just when Zhu Hai was scratching his heart and liver with hunger, a person came out of the barracks. In this era, there was no light pollution from later generations, and after the lights went out, it was completely dark, and only the duty post more than 40 meters away from the barracks had a dead wind lamp.
Zhu Hai saw a figure coming towards him in the dim light, quickly leveled the musket, and asked, "Who is it!" Password! ”
The figure hurriedly stopped, but didn't say a password, but whispered: "Ma boy, I'm Xiang Rong!" ”
When Zhu Hai heard that it was Xiang Rong's sharp voice, he couldn't help but put his heart at ease, put the musket on his shoulder again, and asked in a low voice: "Xiang Rong, what are you doing when you don't sleep at night?" ”
