Chapter Forty-Four: General Hou is back
The school palace is on holiday, it is already the end of November, and there is still one month to go, which is the arrival of the new year, and it is also the time when the Tang Dynasty is attracted and Zhenguan is five years old.
It's just that although the school palace is on vacation, there are still some people who have not left the school palace, such as the public loser of the hidden gate, and Li Tai, who is obsessed with things.
Of course, there are still some people, these days, almost all of them are at the theater, preparing for the rehearsal of the theater's New Year's performance, which is also the first performance after the theater is built.
Since the school palace has not been on vacation, the New Year's theater performance has been on the agenda, and they are all children from poor families from humble backgrounds in the school palace.
In this New Year's theater performance, half of the harvest will be owned by the school palace, and the other half will be owned by these students, which can be regarded as part of the work-study program!
The school palace was on vacation, so Zhao Chen devoted himself to the military academy, and no longer had to go to the school palace every morning, and in the afternoon, he hurriedly ran to the military academy.
On the side of the military academy, since he took out the rifle that day, Zhao Chen has been teaching the matter of dismantling the gun in the past few days, and there is no classroom that can accommodate thousands of people in the military academy, so almost all of them have been completed on the playground in the past few days.
Speaking of which, the structure of the Mauser rifle is not so complicated, and the Mauser that Zhao Chen currently took out from the supermarket is still the first generation of Mauser's ammunition-filled gun.
Zhao Chen, this can be regarded as the first time he came into contact with a rifle, and he was a half-ass, basically, he was learning while explaining to the soldiers in detail how to disassemble the gun and how to wipe the oil. How to maintain it.
Such a half-hanger will be placed in the afterlife. may be scolded by someone as a rookie. But in the era of the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Chen, a half-hanger, still belongs to the unique Grand Master level.
Of course, more importantly, in his half-mind, there is also a picture of the manipulation of the Mauser rifle that will appear anytime and anywhere.
A total of three hundred rifles. From the first day, Zhao Chen dismantled the rifle with his own hands in front of more than 1,000 people and placed the parts on the blanket in the same way.
Then, the same explanation, what is a shell hook, what is a blocking iron, what is a bumper, and what is a pull handle. And then, how to maintain and reload the ammunition.
Fortunately, this is a Mauser rifle, and Zhao Chen used the real thing as an example. When explaining to the soldiers, they will follow the content of the speech and do the actual operation. The effect is naturally twice the result with half the effort.
More than 10 consecutive days of personal explanations. In the end, from more than a thousand soldiers. Take the lead in picking out those with high field capabilities, and start physical operations.
For more than ten days, Zhao Chen repeatedly disassembled and assembled, and finally the effort was not in vain, and when more than 300 people began to squat in front of a stall, and when they began to disassemble, the technique began to become proficient from the initial jerky.
"Very good, good results!" Zhao Chen looked at it, it took nearly half an hour for the three hundred people to disassemble the rifle in their hands into parts, put it on the blanket, and finally showed a smile on their serious faces, applauding and praising the three hundred people in front of them.
Just now, because it took nearly half an hour to be considered the three hundred soldiers who were dismantled, their hearts were already extremely nervous, and when they heard Zhao Chen's words of praise, they immediately looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief to each other.
The next thing is to assemble, which obviously takes more time than dismantling, but Zhao Chen has time.
Let the three hundred soldiers, where to patiently assemble, they will appear in front of a soldier from time to time, patiently explain, not impatient, absolutely extremely patient.
In this case, it took nearly an hour and three hundred soldiers to finally complete the unified assembly!
There is no hurry, I plan to replace people immediately, just three hundred soldiers, since I have tried to disassemble and assemble once, then next, we should strike while the iron is hot and continue to make persistent efforts.
Facts have proved that since there is the first assembly, the second time, it is obvious, the hand speed of 300 people has been more than twice as fast as the previous time.
It's just that it took half an hour, and three hundred rifles, in their hands, immediately turned into a pile of gun parts on a blanket.
Then, under Zhao Chen's order, the pile of parts that were originally disassembled were all assembled within almost an hour, and they lay quietly on the blanket.
Assembling guns, this means that the new army has officially embarked on the road of change, and for Zhao Chen, it means the beginning of a new era.
I'm looking forward to seeing a real army armed, but the process will take time, and for now, it's better to do the initial groundwork step by step.
It is getting closer and closer to the New Year, and in the past few days, on the way to the military academy, Zhao Chen can always see that the streets of Chang'an are becoming festive day by day.
This is the case outside, and the mansion is naturally the same, and in the Hou Mansion, there is naturally Qin Yuyan, the hostess, who greets the people inside and out, cleaning up.
On the side of the princess's mansion, there are eunuchs in charge of the princess's mansion, with a group of palace people and maidservants, sprinkling and sweeping inside and out, sprinkling and sweeping the huge mansion.
Calculate carefully, this is Zhao Chen's fifth year in Datang, year by year, it is always changing, and this year's is obviously different, because this year he already has a wife and children.
Today, there is nothing to do in the military academy, and the training of assembling guns has now entered the right track, overcoming the initial jerkiness, and now the rest is to master the familiarity.
Therefore, even if Zhao Chen is not there, the training can still be carried out normally, and he happened to stay in the military academy in the afternoon, which was a little boring, so Zhao Chen simply explained to Dugumou, and he left the military academy in advance.
It's just that what surprised him a little was that he had just entered the Hou Mansion with his front foot, and before his ass was hot, someone made a special trip to chase his ass and visit him.
And this person is none other than Hou Junji, who had intersected with Zhao Chen several times in Luoyang before!
"How. Chang'anhou was a little surprised? Hou Junji is still wearing the previous set of Confucian robes, coupled with Hou Junji's own elegant face. looked like a Confucian scholar, looking at Zhao Chen with a somewhat stunned expression. Laughing to himself.
Hou Junji was originally the stay of Luoyang Mansion, but now, he suddenly appeared in Hou Mansion, which can only be an explanation, that is, Hou Junji, who was transferred back to Chang'an by Li Er.
"It's a bit of a surprise!" Zhao Chen welcomed Hou Junji, father and son outside the door, back to the hall, and waited until Hou Junji sat down. Only then did he look at Hou Junji and ask, "General Hou, has you been transferred back to Chang'an?" ”
"Well, a month ago, I was ordered by His Majesty!" Hou Junji's eyes looked at the hall of the Hou Mansion, and his mouth kept exclaiming, and he couldn't help but praise Zhao Chen: "I have long heard that the layout in the Hou Mansion in Chang'an." is different, when the old man sees it today, sure enough, it is very different! ”
"Nonsense!" Zhao Chen heard this. said a perfunctory sentence to Hou Junji, and then continued the topic just now. asked: "The general came back this time, did Your Majesty say it?" Is it an official position? ”
"Your Majesty didn't say it!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Hou Junji was originally a person who admired coral. Suddenly turned around, looked at Zhao Chen with a smile and said, "However, Hou is from the military, so I think he is also in the army!" ”
The official position of the army, that is naturally true, however, Hou Junji is a little different, it is said that when Li Er launched the Xuanwumen Change, there was the shadow of Hou Junji behind him.
Therefore, Hou Junji was transferred to Luoyang to stay at the beginning, in fact, it was just Li Er's expedient measure, and now he has been transferred back to Chang'an, which can be regarded as a reasonable thing for Hou Junji.
The military is right, but it's hard to guess what the specific official position is!
Moreover, seeing Hou Junji come back, Zhao Chen also saw some things behind it, that is, Li Er has completely controlled the entire imperial court, and he is no longer trying his best to balance it as he did at the beginning.
To put it mildly, it is that once a son of heaven and a courtier, Li Yuan's era has completely passed, and now, it is the beginning of Li Er's real era.
"It's not a secret, this time Hou returned to Chang'an, and when he came to Chang'an Hou, he was the first one Hou visited!" Hou Junji sat opposite Zhao Chen, and waited until the people serving tea went down, then he looked at Zhao Chen and said.
"When the general said this, it made the little nephew a little embarrassed!" Zhao Chen and Hou Yong are both equals, so naturally in front of Hou Junji, they regard themselves as juniors, and when they heard Hou Junji's words, Zhao Chen suddenly chuckled awkwardly and said.
"Don't be busy with shame first!" When Hou Junji heard this, he sighed slightly, his eyes suddenly turned to Hou Yong behind him, and his tone was abrupt, and he said sternly: "Yong'er, don't hurry up and apologize to Chang'an Hou!" ”
“… Be! Originally, after entering the house, Hou Yong, who had been standing behind Hou Junji silently with his head down, suddenly raised his head when he heard Hou Junji's stern words, bowed to Zhao Chen and said: "Brother Zhao, it is Hou Yong's reckless temperament and too inconsiderate work, and I hope that Brother Zhao can forgive Hou Yong's mistakes regardless of the villain!" ”
Zhao Chen naturally understood in his heart that the reason why Hou Junji asked Hou Yong to apologize was related to Meng Rang Lao'er when he was in Lingnan, but on the surface, he pretended to be confused, looked at Hou Junji's father and son, and said, "General, what does this mean?" ”
"It's Yong'er, this kid, who is naturally reckless, this time he actually misunderstood Chang'anhou, and almost ruined Chang'anhou's big thing!" When Hou Junji spoke, he sighed at Zhao Chen with a remorseful expression on his face.
"It's a bit serious, not to mention that I don't even know what Hou Yong is wrong!" When Zhao Chen saw Hou Junji's face, he put on an expression of regret, and immediately waved his hand at Hou Yong, who was still bowing, and said.
"Chang'an Hou can ignore the past suspicions, then it is naturally very good!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Hou Junji sighed a few times, looked at Zhao Chen and said, "So Hou someone will rest assured!" ”
When he said this, Hou Junji's eyes couldn't help but glare fiercely, and Hou Yong behind him looked like he hated iron but not steel.
However, Zhao Chen pretended not to understand this, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and pretended not to see the expectation expressed in Hou Junji's gaze.
The food in the Hou Mansion is the most authentic in the entire Tang Dynasty, and Hou Junji's father and son came, naturally, they inevitably stayed, and they left the Hou Mansion after they were full of food and drink.
"General Hou is here, I'm afraid the military academy will have to prepare the room for General Li in advance!" After sending off Hou Junji's father and son, when Zhao Chen came back, when he was lying on the chair, he suddenly sighed and said.
