699. Bow down
The captives were all depressed at first, and they left a month late, and they were free to earn wages here, but they were captives with nooses around their necks. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this moment, suddenly two cavalry galloped side by side from a distance.
The light cavalry escorting them were all nervous, and a few officers hurriedly rode up to meet them.
The epaulettes of these two cavalrymen are obviously different from ordinary soldiers, with a red badge on the chest of the gray military robe, and a bright red cloak, which looks majestic, and a little more luxurious than ordinary light cavalry.
But this cavalry was a little closer, and it could be seen that it was also a battle-hardened veteran, and the faces of the two cavalrymen were full of wind and frost, and their eyes were awe-inspiring and murderous.
The hussars who were escorting the captives all had a look of awe on their faces, and their previous nonchaltious expressions had weakened a lot.
"All stand on the side of the road, continue to do things, don't stand on the sidelines."
The hussar officer rode back, and then ordered everyone to stand on the side of the road, not on the side of the road.
The people hurriedly flashed to the side as instructed, not daring to delay a little.
Then two more horsemen rode their horses, and after a few moments of parade through the ranks like the first two, they continued to move forward, stopping their horses at a distance of more than a hundred paces, holding the reins with their left hands and pressing their right hands on their waists, and carefully examining the captives.
After a while, an officer came with a small group of cavalry, and then the officers of the light cavalry hurried to meet him, and everyone greeted each other.
Zhao Wen noticed that the officer who led the team was very tall, and he was in his twenties, and when he scanned everyone with his eyes, he felt a real deterrence, and he couldn't help but bow his head, many people were the same, even the most daring and fierce-faced men quickly bowed their heads.
It was Zhang Shixiong who stood in front with the guards of the attendant division, he actually didn't like to do such things, even if he admired and admired Zhang Han from the bottom of his bones, but he felt that he was not suitable to be a military attaché, and most of the things related to the army were official correspondence and data exchange, and then there were archives and archives, which were all errands of the military attaché, and he had to always pay attention to the latest progress of the weapons and armor department, and hand over some new weapons or ideas to Zhang Han's desk. In addition, it is necessary to maintain a certain degree of liaison and interaction with military generals...... Zhang Han's control of the troops is not a joke, there is no way between Taiwan and the Thirteen Mountains Phi Island, the boundary of the northern captives is 600 miles a day to rush to pass the news on a pond horse, no one can move without Zhang Han's military order, and the wartime general has the right to execute the situation, Zhang Han will not be stupid enough to skip the command of a brigade leader or company commander, but in peacetime stationing and training, any first-level general does not even have the power to transfer a squadron, that is the authority of the military department, that is, the civilian officials are in control.
Military divisions are not necessarily civilian officials, there are also quite a few retired officers, officers who have been seriously injured and are not fit to go to the battlefield can retire from active duty and can serve in the military division, they have also experienced literacy classes and advanced training, and there is no difficulty in mastering official documents, some retired officers with rich battlefield experience are the backbone of the staff department, and these retired officers are more suitable for posts in the military department than those newcomers who have just been assigned to have a high cultural score.
Zhang Shixiong's usual official duties are enough to be busy, but when Zhang Han travels, his biggest responsibility is to be responsible for the promotion of security guards, the attendant officers have civilian and military positions, and the guards are actually the affairs of the Secret Service, and the cavalry that went first just now are all members of the Secret Service, but the attendant military attache is the most inner ring of the guard, which is heavier than the responsibility of the Secret Service, which is also Zhang Shixiong's crime After committing it, Zhang Han punished him, but put it in the position of the military attaché, expressing trust to the greatest extent.
For the young military attachés, it does not matter if there is a slight setback in their official position and treatment, and as long as Zhang Han expresses his trust in them, the loyalty of these soldiers will not be affected in the slightest.
"Alright," one of the special guards shouted, "Your Excellency is here, everyone bow their heads!" ”
The captives lowered their heads in unison, and after a while, everyone heard the sound of dense horses' hooves, and Zhao Wen looked in the direction of the east from the corner of his eye.
About fifty or sixty horsemen arrived, followed by some cavalry guards, and there were not many of them.
It was a young man in his twenties...... In fact, Zhao Wen still overestimated Zhang Han's age, maybe it was the hard work of running around the grassland for a while, or it could be that Zhang Han had a short beard on his chin, and he looked a lot more mature. No one in He Yusheng thought of Zhang Han's age, and even if he thought of it, it was a flash of thought: it turns out that adults are still so young!
More often than not, people just respect his authority and decisive will, obey any of his instructions, and no one will take the initiative to think of his age and appearance, of course, Zhang Han's appearance is mature enough, and there is a kind of dignity that naturally forms after years of being in the top position.
In the eyes of Zhao Wen and others, Zhang Han is a tall young man with a slightly ordinary appearance, only when his eyes turn to make people see his eyes, he feels awe-inspiring, as for the appearance and temperament of his gestures, only when he is in close contact will people feel it, and with his status and power, it will make people feel a sense of admiration or fear.
On both sides of the avenue was a squadron of cavalrymen escorting prisoners, followed by a long line of prisoners.
Zhang Han and Kong Minxing together patrol the newly opened acres of land, from the Daheihe Fort to the Erlong River, has opened more than 200,000 acres of land, but this year is like this, at present it is a value crop, there is a part of the suitable land will be planted directly cotton, the rest of the plots are planted with beans or other crops, there is no harvest when the agricultural time is delayed, 200,000 acres of land, all have supporting water conservancy projects, from the end of last year to the beginning of this year, a large number of people entered the grassland, and it took four months. The manpower is more than 30,000 people, and it took less than a month and a half to open up these lands for practical use, and before that, there were a large number of projects, building settlements, consolidating some popular avenues, repairing water diversion projects, and building water trucks, and these things can be done in a few months, which is nothing more than the cooperation of tens of thousands of strong men and more than 10,000 soldiers and engineering troops, it can be said that everything on the grassland is from scratch, and such a scale has developed on a blank piece of paper, and the scene of last year has undergone earth-shaking changes, not only Kong Minxing and Li Dongxue are deeply proud of the principals, Zhang Han is also excited.
Patrol to the big black river fort here is the end of the farmland area, to the northwest and southwest are orange and red garrison areas or combat areas, in fact, the copper mine is also in the garrison area, fortunately there is in the mountains, the defensive pressure is very small, just a few military platforms built by the mountains can restrict the movement of a large number of cavalry, the north is not stupid to go home will not go to the idea of fighting copper mines, even if the copper mines are very important.
"There will still be plenty of light this year." Kong Minxing frowned and glanced at the large group of prisoners, pointed to the farmland and said, "This piece is also cotton, and it seems that they are all willing to work hard." ”
Kong Minxing said to a person in charge of the military and political department: "The ground must be deep, flat, straight, and deep, and the cultivated layer is too thin and shallow for years to spin, which is not conducive to the root system and the emergence of seedlings. ”
"Yes, we must keep Mr. Kong's teachings in mind." The military and political secretary bowed and said, "Please rest assured, sir." ”
"Hmm." Kong Minxing nodded, his face was full of wind and frost, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes also increased significantly, but his complexion was a healthy black and red, much healthier than the dark white skin when he first arrived in Li Zhuang, and his mental appearance was also excellent.
Kong Minxing said again: "The seedlings come out, don't be reluctant to pull them out, pull out the overly dense seedlings according to the ratio I instructed, don't leave too many too dense, the seedlings are too dense, the light is insufficient, and the wind can't penetrate it, it will rot the roots, grow wildly, the peaches will rot, the buds will fall, the flowers will fall, and the peaches will fall." ”
"Yes!" Farewell to the military and political officials.
The peasants gradually gathered around, and they looked at Kong Minxing with the eyes of a god.
Kong Minxing obviously didn't do farm work very seriously, the hand holding the reins was still very thin and white, and there was a cocoon at the tiger's mouth, which was grinding out of writing with a pen for a long time, and there were no traces of tempering in the rest of the place, but this former white-faced scholar was simply a god-like existence in farming, and it can be said that inside and Yusheng, the most respected by pure farmers may not be Zhang Han, it should be the "Mr. Kong" they have always honored.
Many of the captives were wide-eyed, of course they had heard of Kong Minxing's reputation, but the first time they saw it in person, it really gave them a great shock!
Kong Minxing is too expert, he doesn't talk much, but he says everything on the point.
"Also, be careful about insect pests......"
Kong Minxing said a few more words, and Zhang Han waited patiently without showing the slightest impatience. At this moment, Kong Minxing is the absolute protagonist.
"Wen Lan, I've kept you waiting."
After Kong Minxing finished explaining, he turned his head and apologized to Zhang Han.
"It doesn't matter." Zhang Han deliberately made a helpless expression on his face: "Originally, I was arguing to patrol with you, did I find it myself?" ”
After Zhang Han toured the copper mining area, he made a short stop at Xiaohebao, where Liang Xing was in charge of the overall situation, he did not stay long, and then traveled all the way east, arrived at Daheihe Fort, and then arrived at Jining Fort, Xinghe Fort, Shangyi Fort, and observed the movements of Karaqin and other departments...... It can be seen that the movement over there is not small, even if most of the routes are cut off, the Karaqin side must also know that a big fight has begun here in the west, but it is completely different from last year's situation, Baihong Dataiji and many Taiji have no intention of intervening at all, not only there is no sign of moving troops to the west, on the contrary, the Karaqin tribe has gathered at least 60,000 or 70,000 herdsmen and a considerable number of armor, all the way to the east.
