Zhou Guodong wanted five telescopes, but others didn't dare to fight with him, but Cheng Wen didn't agree.

"General Zhou, please forgive me, there are not many telescopes in this batch, and there are already instructions on how to divide the army, and the Tongshan battalion can only give one more, so there is no need to discuss." Although he said politely, he moved out Wang Kefan and blocked Zhou Guodong to death.

"It's all up to you, one is one." Zhou Guodong was not angry, and ordered his soldiers to fill out the form honestly and register, and took out a telescope.

The crowd present was faintly headed by Zhou Guodong, even he was so honest, and the others didn't dare to make trouble anymore, so they received the binoculars in turn, one Lu Renqing, one Ti Zhaorong, and Gu Zongfu's Ji'an camp had not been before, and this time two were directly sent ......

Chen Shangwu saw that there were many people, handed over the gifts he brought to his own soldiers, waved his hand to let him go, and then waited behind everyone.

The officer of the logistics department in charge of registration held a table in his hand, and checked loudly with his companions from time to time, seeing that everyone had finished receiving it, and the one in front of Chen Shangwu was Song Jiang, the general of the water division.

"Sailor, three telescopes!"

Before he finished speaking, everyone in the room raised their heads and looked at Song Jiang together, their eyes were full of envy, everyone else received one or two, but he received three telescopes at once, no wonder it attracted everyone's attention.

Song Jiang smiled, stepped forward happily and picked up the three binoculars, and thanked Cheng Wen repeatedly.

Chen Shangwu's heart moved, and he couldn't help but have a little more expectations, and stepped forward to bow to Cheng Wen: "Brother Cheng, how many binoculars can the firearms battalion issue?" ”

Cheng Wen smiled at him: "Firearms battalion?" If I'm not mistaken, I should have fourteen telescopes. ”

"How much?!" Chen Shangwu couldn't believe his ears.

"Fourteen!" Cheng Wen's smile was more cordial, and his tone was very affirmative.

With a bang, the house exploded, and some people talked about it. yelling that it was unfair, some people looked at Chen Shangwu coldly, with a very dissatisfied expression on their faces. Just now, the sailor received three telescopes, which was already beyond everyone's expectations, and the firearms battalion received fourteen at once, which was simply unacceptable.

"Mr. Cheng, is this really the meaning of the military gate? Why give so many binoculars to the firearms battalion? Gu Zongfu was the first to jump out.

"It's true! The artillery of the firearms battalion should be fired from a distance, and the military gate had already ordered that each artillery commander should be equipped with a telescope, plus a firecracker team and a miner team. Fourteen telescopes, of course. Cheng Wen patiently explained.

Ti Zhaorong snorted, but there was no smile on his face: "Ha, the cavalry is fast, and my western cavalry battalion should also need a few more binoculars." ”

Gu Zongfu was encouraged by him and continued to raise the bar: "It's okay to have a cannon with a telescope." Those ten three-pounder cannons can't shoot far, so why bother with ...... for each cannon."

He respected the combat effectiveness of the old Gongyi battalion. So I couldn't get up in front of Zhou Guodong. But he didn't take others seriously, although Cheng Wen was Wang Kefan's confidant, Chen Shangwu was a "decentralized cadre" sent by the imperial court's military department, Gu Zongfu said that he would be at the top, without any scruples.

However, Zhou Guodong spoke. interrupted his grumbling.

"Since it's a matter decided by the military gate, what are you talking about?"

It was as if the switch was suddenly turned off, and the room immediately fell silent.

……

Fourteen telescopes in a box, which is also a lot of them. This thing is expensive and can't be thrown around, Chen Shangwu can't take it alone, so Cheng Wen sent two soldiers to help send it out.

Walking out of the door of the logistics department, Chen Shangwu let out a long breath.

"It's really unproductive!" He secretly cursed himself in his heart, for the sake of a dozen telescopes, he would be so nervous.

Any group will exclude newcomers, Chen Shangwu suddenly came into the limelight, no wonder those generals were dissatisfied with him, just now in the logistics department, he felt a clear hostility. Ti Zhaorong, Lu Renqing, Gu Zongfu and ...... are all generals with heavy troops, with a murderous aura on the battlefield, Chen Shangwu has just joined the Chu army, and he really doesn't want to mess with them.

"Chu Jun is good at everything, but it's not very united!" Chen Shangwu was secretly glad that if Zhou Guodong hadn't stopped the scene today, he would have been forced to clash with other generals, even if he couldn't provoke Ti Zhaorong and them, he would have to hold on...... He followed the wolf to eat meat, followed the dog to eat, and he couldn't get the telescope back that he had been given, so he couldn't explain it to his brothers, and he couldn't raise his head in the Chu army.

But Chen Shangwu also felt that Zhou Guodong was not close to him, and only for other reasons did he stop Ti Zhaorong and Gu Zongfu.

If it is replaced by other Ming officials and soldiers, the generals are generally called brothers and sisters, try to make the relationship closer, everyone is in the same camp as a general, maybe when they will rely on each other to save their lives, and try not to offend the other party. The generals of the Chu army were open-mouthed, straight to the point, and they all had an aggressive taste, Chen Shangwu thought about it for a long time, and he didn't know how to describe this unique temperament.

At this moment, Chen Shangwu's personal soldiers saw him, hurriedly came up to help, and took the telescope upside down, Chen Shangwu thanked the two soldiers of the logistics department, turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard someone calling him.

"General Chen, can you hold so many telescopes? I have a lot of people with me, why don't I help you? ”

Chen Shangwu turned his head and saw that it was Song Jiang who spoke, and he was accompanied by three or four personal soldiers, and it was of course very easy to only take three binoculars. Chen Shangwu only had two personal soldiers here, more than a dozen binoculars and that set of snack gifts, which was indeed a bit unacceptable.

"In that case, thank you Brother Song." Chen Shangwu gave an order, asked the soldiers to share the things and hold them, and then walked out with Song Jiang.

"Don't! Other! Don't call it that! What big brother is not big brother, isn't this a discount for my life? Song Jiang waved his hand again and again.

After Wang Kefan returned to Huguang, he promoted him to be a guerrilla general, although he was also promoted several levels, but he was still inferior to Chen Shangwu.

This is already very good, and Song Jiang has no dissatisfaction. He was originally a defeated general of the Gongyi Battalion, and the people and horses he had worked so hard to pull up were all gone, and he was already satisfied with being able to mix in this position now, Wang Kefan became a feudal official in just two years, as long as he followed him and worked hard, he would be indispensable in the future.

Song Jiang was reluctant to hold it up in front of Chen Shangwu, so he reached out and grabbed the dim sum and wine jar he was holding, raised it and circled it in front of his eyes. Surprised, he said, "Oh, this is a good wine for us to go through the city!" Today is the Chinese New Year, General Chen has a face and a glass of wine together, okay? ”

Chen Shangwu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again: "It's okay, it's better to meet by chance, I have no home and no mouth in Tongcheng, so I will spend the New Year with Brother Song." Well, let's go back to our firearms battalion, and I'm in for a treat today......"

……

Around noon. Chen Shangwu served Song Jiang with wine in the camp.

In the informal banquet between private individuals, except for two personal soldiers who served beside them, no one else was invited to accompany them, so there were many scruples between the words, and the two chatted casually. The atmosphere was relaxed.

When Song Jiang fell into the grass, he was also a famous figure in Dongting Lake. But he always wanted to recruit An. Looking forward to Zhao'an, he later took refuge in Wang Kefan in desperation, and put away the recklessness of the year, being a man with his tail between his legs all the time, being very respectful to other generals, and even showing favor to Chen Shangwu at the wine table. kept persuading wine and food, and slapped two sycophants from time to time.

Chen Shangwu didn't have any special feelings, he was a general from Sanpin, one level higher than Song Jiang, a guerrilla general. In the officialdom, officials crush people to death, and it is normal for Song Jiang to do this.

The situation of the Chu army's sailors was relatively special, and Chen Shangwu chatted for a long time before he figured out Song Jiang's identity and role.

Wang Kefan originally had no water division, but he merged Heiyunchang in Linxiang County to control the Chenglingji Water Division, which later withdrew to Jingzhou Mansion to help the loyal battalion fight against the Qing army of Luck Dehun.

Song Jiang is only the number two person in the water division, but he is the representative sent by Wang Kefan, and he speaks very well. This water division has now been transferred back to Yuezhou Mansion and stationed in Chenglingji.

In addition, Wang Kefan also brought a group of shipbuilders from Guangdong to prepare to open a shipyard and build new ships, and is recently looking for a location in the area of Changde Prefecture.

"Open a shipyard in Changde Mansion? Isn't it Yuezhou Mansion? Chen Shangwu asked.

"If the Tartars go south, the Yuezhou Mansion will be turned into a pot of porridge, and of course the shipyard can't be placed there." Song Jiang explained two sentences, and said: "I just don't understand, why did the military gate want to build a Guangdong ship, the brothers are not familiar with this kind of ship, don't show your cowardice on the battlefield." ”

"The Guangdong ship has a low hull, and the handling is flexible, which has obvious advantages in water warfare, and it makes sense for the military to do this." Chen Shangwu had worked in the military department, and he knew where the advantages of the Guangdong ship were.

"Makes sense, makes sense! The last general has to pay a toast to General Chen! ”

The two of them picked up the wine glass and touched it, raised their heads and drank it dry, and then showed the bottom of the glass together, both of them were not left with a drop of wine, and they smiled at each other.

The two of them continued to chat, and Chen Shangwu suddenly asked casually as if he was careless.

"General Ti Zhaorong, isn't this person easy to get along with?"

"No, I think it's okay."

"What about General Zhou Guodong? His temper doesn't seem to be very good. Chen Shangwu asked again.

"General Chen, are you worried about that incident in the morning? Hi! Ignore them, don't let them, nothing will happen. Song Jiang smiled and comforted: "Do it in the Gongyi camp...... No, it's the Chu army now, do it in the Chu army, as long as you listen to Wang Junmen's words, no one dares to touch you, no one has to be afraid! ”

Reasonable! Chen Shangwu pondered and couldn't help but nodded, but another question in his heart was even stronger.

"Since this is the case, and I haven't offended these generals, why are they dissatisfied with me, is it really just because of those telescopes?"

"What else could it be? You have more binoculars, but they take less, of course they are dissatisfied! Song Jiang said with a smile: "It's the easiest in our barracks, if you have anything to say, don't think too much, it's self-defeating." ”

"This is a new face...... Chen Shangwu pondered for a moment, and then asked: "But I still don't understand, how can these generals all have this temperament, aggressive, and do not tolerate it, if they really go to the battlefield, can they kill the enemy together?" ”

"This is called wolf nature, Wang Junmen has mentioned it many times." Song Jiang showed a proud look on his face: "If you win, you will raise a glass to celebrate, and if you lose, you will fight to save each other, which is not uncommon in our Chu army." (To be continued......)
