Chapter 244: What Makes a Good Soldier
is reluctant to go, and it is his son Su Jian who is particularly relieved. After getting along with the little guy for so many days, as long as he sees him, Su Ren is happy from the bottom of his heart. Suddenly about to leave, Xiao Su Jian cried fiercely, his two little hands grabbed Su Ren's clothes, and he didn't let go. Many people who watched it were crying and sighed at the deep love between father and son.
Turning back three times one step at a time, when he turned around the woods and turned back again, he suddenly couldn't see the small village, and Su Ren, who was still smiling just now, suddenly had the urge to cry. Turning his face away, he quietly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and took a deep breath of cold air. From now on, he Su Ren is also a person of concern in this world.
Sima Xiangru smiled slightly: "If you want to cry, cry!" Not everyone can stand up to such a scene! ”
"I didn't cry, I just squinted!"
"Really? Okay, I'll trust you for the time being, how are you going to train when you go back this time? If you can't train an elite soldier, let alone Tang Meng, I'm afraid I can't protect you even if you are too guarded! As a lieutenant in Chengdu, since his appointment, you don't even know that the door of the barracks is open to that side, don't forget that this Shuzhong is a big Han border town, if something happens, it will be a big thing! ”
Su Ren was disdainful, in his impression, the biggest enemy of the Han was in the north, and these people in the south, whether it was Yelang or Nanban, did not have the capital to fight the Han. These people may be able to succeed for a while in the mountains and forests, but as long as they are out of the mountains and forests, they are not the opponents of the Han army at all. Throughout history, the most powerful generals have appeared in three eras, and they are also the three greatest eras.
The first is Qin Jun. The Qin army, known as the Three Qin Lengwa, fought bravely and was brave and good at fighting. In particular, the rain of arrows in the sky made the Kwantung countries suffer. The second is the Tang Army, under the prosperity of Zhenguan, the hall has many talents, and the fierce generals are like clouds, which can be said to be invincible all over the world, Taizong Li Shimin is known as the Khan of the sky, and all the countries come to show the national fortune of the hall.
The third is the male soldiers of the Han Dynasty. Although it is said that the current Han has not yet reached the time when he dominates the world in later generations, on the whole, the strength he has accumulated is quite good. It is precisely because of the majesty of the Han Dynasty that even at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty was divided and the civil wars continued, and the savages in the north still did not dare to take a step south, and even were wiped out by Cao Cao, a prince.
Sima Xiangru saw that Su Ren was deep in thought, and thought that he was thinking of a way to deal with it, so he admonished: "As far as I know, the best generals in the entire Shu County are in Chengdu, speaking of which, you have taken a great advantage as this Chengdu captain, as long as you can appoint the original old man and step up military training, the county soldiers in Chengdu should not be sent there, so that you can also have an explanation for the imperial court." ”
"Huh!" Su Ren shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it's not as simple as you think, the entire Shu County soldiers have lost half of it after the last war, I haven't been to the barracks for so long, as the Governor of Shu County, Tang Meng didn't even ask, don't you feel a little strange?" ”
"What do you mean?"
"What else could it be like? Let's go back this time, it's good that there are still half of the soldiers left in the barracks, and it is estimated that they are all old, weak, sick and disabled! ”
"Where do you start with this, the county soldiers in each county are limited, and there are also imperial court regulations where these soldiers are stationed, who is so bold that they dare to transfer troops from Chengdu?"
"What do you say? As the governor of Shu County, in order to re-enrich the county soldiers of Shu County, Tang Meng transferred some people from the Chengdu County soldiers who were still complete in the establishment to form those disabled county soldiers, no matter from that aspect, there is no problem, I am afraid that Tang Meng has already obtained the permission of the imperial court, but we don't know. ”
"Ahh No way? How can you say that you are also a captain in Chengdu, even if Tang Meng wants to transfer troops, you have to get your consent! ”
"Captain Chengdu, hehe!" Su Ren smiled: "If you don't enter the barracks for a day, the errand of the Chengdu captain will not be implemented for a day, and the previous Chengdu captain may have done these things for Tang Meng a long time ago, and there is no need for people to go through me at all." ”
"So Chengdu's county soldiers have become a mess?"
"I'm afraid it's even worse than a mess, and I'll know when I go back."
It is not far from Dujiangyan to Chengdu, and everyone is riding horses along the way, and they can walk 100 miles a day when they run. In order to verify Su Ren's words, Sima Xiangru took the initiative to become a supervisor of the army, constantly urging everyone to speed up, and finally returned to Chengdu before the new year. Cui Jiuming and others had already heard a little about the mine, and after learning about the situation from Su Ren's mouth, Cui Jiuming slapped the table angrily.
"What a Zhuo Wangsun, he actually did this kind of thing secretly, in case this guy studies the gunpowder thoroughly, we will be in danger in the future!"
Su Ren didn't have the heart to discuss this matter with Cui Jiuming, and was waiting for news from the barracks while drinking tea. When he first entered the city, Sima Xiangru took Hawking to the barracks, he wanted to see if the county soldiers in Chengdu were as Su Ren said? Did Tang Meng really stumble Su Ren?
As soon as the lamp was held, Sima Xiangru and Hawking came back, and it could be seen from the expressions of the two that things should be similar to what Su Ren guessed.
Sima Xiangru slapped the table: "It's shameless!" It's so shameless! This is the dirtiest thing Sima Xiangru can scold.
Su Ren poured a glass of water for Sima Xiangru: "Don't be angry, there are expected things, why be angry, it's not appropriate to be angry with yourself." ”
Cui Jiuming was inexplicable and stabbed Hawking: "What's the matter?" Who is Mr. Sima angry with today? ”
"Who else can there be, Tang Mengbei!" Hawking was also angry: "I was really guessed by the eldest brother, the rest of the barracks are all old, weak, sick and disabled, not to mention, all of them are yellow and thin, and there are less than 300 people, let these people protect Chengdu, let alone the rebels, even if it is a group of mountain bandits, they can kill them without leaving a piece of armor." ”
Cui Jiuming suddenly realized: "I think Mr. might as well quit this errand, the affairs of our Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce have not been completed, and the affairs of the county soldiers cannot be freed up at all, besides, the military may not be Mr. Liang's strength." ”
"Who says it's not my director?" Su Ren said with a smile: "Aren't these guards of mine trained by me, as long as they wear armor and are braver than any county soldier, even if there is another siege, I won't worry!" ”
"Don't brag! You're not really going to get the caravan guards into the soldiers, are you? These people are what you've worked so hard to cultivate! can't give it to Tang Meng for no reason! ”
"It's my people who will always be my people, even if Tang Meng tempts again, it won't help, we all know the situation in Shu County, Tang Meng has no way to do this, only the county soldiers in Chengdu are still the same in the entire Shu County, and the other Dao counties have existed in name only, if you don't call the Chengdu county soldiers to set up a shelf, you will definitely not be able to make up the quota of county soldiers in a short time!"
"You're still speaking for Tang Meng?" Cui Jiuming got angry when he heard it: "He's doing you this way!" ”
Sima Xiangru sighed: "Hey! What Mr. said is also reasonable, but even if we get all our guards into the county soldiers, we can't get together 1,500 people, not to mention that the guards still have to guard the caravan, and there are less than 300 that can be transferred, how can we fill such a big gap? Temporary conscription did not conform to the regulations of the imperial court, and the imperial court would not allow it. ”
Su Ren said: "Don't forget, we also have a base, where there are tens of thousands of outlaws who lick blood with knives, isn't it 1,500 people, it's a very simple thing, these people have gone through the war and have seen blood, and with a little training, they are the best county soldiers!" ”
"Wonsan!" Sima Xiangru and Cui Jiuming said these two words at the same time.
Su Ren nodded and instructed Hawking: "Immediately bring my letter and ask Sun Er Mazi to send a thousand people over and tell him that as long as anyone is willing to come, he will destroy his reputation as a bandit and settle in Chengdu, and from now on, these thousand people and their families will no longer be bandits, but the soldiers and people of our Shu County!" ”
Hawking nodded vigorously and immediately rushed out the door.
An urgent and difficult matter was easily resolved by Su Ren, Sima Xiangru's face relaxed, and he laughed self-deprecatingly: "It turns out that Mr. has already made a decision, but we are blindly worried, compared to Mr. We are indeed far behind." ”
Cui Jiuming also nodded again and again, with a smile on his face: "Who is Mr.?" Let's just scare ourselves, since Mr. has solved the matter of the county soldiers, is it also to solve the problem of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, now most of the businessmen in Chengdu have joined our Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, only Zhuo Wangsun is still fighting against us, can Mr. have a way to do this? ”
"There is a way, I'm afraid that your shopkeeper Cui is unwilling!"
"Let's talk about it first!"
Su Ren beckoned, called Cui Jiuming to him, and muttered in Cui Jiuming's ear for a long time. The color on Cui Jiuming's face also changed again and again. First happy, then shocked, until finally like a frosted eggplant, muttering: "Still spending money? Do you know how big our deficit is in the past six months? ”
"You know, there are a total of three million dollars, why can't such a wealthy person as Shopkeeper Cui take out these? What's more, a million of them are still mine! ”
"My family is not a coinage workshop, every penny is earned back desperately, and if you spend it like this, even if you are rich, you can't beat the country!" Cui Jiuming was already in a hurry, and waved his hand again and again: "No, absolutely not, you better think of another way!" ”
"No, this is the last resort, there is only this way to deal with people like Zhuo Wangsun, although three million dollars is a lot, as long as our cattle and horses can get rid of it smoothly, this hole can be filled, it depends on whether you Cui Da Shopkeeper has the courage!"
Cui Jiuming hesitated: "Mine and my father will discuss this matter, I can't be the master!" ”
Su Ren raised his foot and kicked Cui Jiuming. Cui Jiuming's fat body suddenly turned, dodged Su Ren's feet, jumped three times and two times, and went out.
Su Ren was furious: "Since you can't be the master, get out, please come to your old man, don't let it in if you can't be the master in the future!" ”
I don't know how Cui Jiuming's body jumped up like this. As he walked out, he said with a smile: "I am the president of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, I can't be the master, who else can be the master?" My father said that I was very discerning, and the most discerning thing was to follow you! ”
