Chapter 33: Turnips
When I returned to Sun's house, it was about two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and Wu Dengke and the others also returned to Sun's small courtyard.
Seeing Chen Wen come back, Wu Dengke and others rushed up. After learning that Chen Wen had obtained the rank of guerrilla general and could be reorganized into a new battalion, the atmosphere in the small courtyard was even higher.
Of course, the arrival of this news was not a joy for everyone, especially after learning that the number of soldiers was only 500, Wu Dengke made it clear that he was dissatisfied.
"What was given to Brother Chen before was clearly a general in praise of painting, but now he has become a guerrilla general, so he has to give a general. It must be that group of Ningbo people and Shaoxing people who slandered Wang Jingluo behind Brother Chen's back, otherwise with Brother Chen's talents, the chief military officer would have done it. ”
This is okay, Wu Dengke's brain replenishment ability is too strong.
Chen Wen knew very well that this result was not at all surprising from the dissatisfaction that Wu Dengke had generated with what happened to him some time ago, coupled with their oath of allegiance to Chen Wen today.
Seeing that more people's faces began to change subtly, Chen Wen rushed to signal them to be quiet for a moment before they erupted into new dissatisfaction.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Wang Jingluo has appointed me as a guerrilla general, and I am responsible for a new battalion, which is a good thing. Today, I, Chen Wen, am a guerrilla general, and you are my Chen Wen's garrison, commander, and general. In the future, when I Chen Wen has made meritorious contributions and been promoted to general, deputy general, and general soldier, as long as you follow my Chen Wen's pace, you will definitely be able to rise with my Chen Wen's promotion! ”
"However, I want you to understand that this road is bound to be full of thorns and seductive wildflowers, and there may be people who are in danger of seemingly unsolvable difficulties, and there may be people who stop halfway to enjoy the scenery in front of them. However, I, Chen Wen, will never stop and wait for anyone for this, even if all of you are left behind, I will continue to walk alone. ”
"Because I want everyone who strives to follow me to be rich and glorious, to be able to have a wife and a son, and to be able to glorify our ancestors, because I want our voice to be able to resound in this era!"
At this time, Yin Ergou reacted immediately, only to see him jump to Chen Wen's lower place all of a sudden, raise his arms and shout: "Swear to follow General Chen to the death, go to the soup and fight the fire, and do not give up!" ”
"We will follow General Chen to the death, go to the soup and fight the fire, and do not give up!" At this moment, one after another arms and wave after wave of shouts rose from the small courtyard of the Sun family and soared into the sky.
At this moment, Hu Er, who had already walked to the left of the Sun family, looked at each other with a complicated expression and the two colleagues who were escorting the gifts, and invariably stopped, waiting for the movement in the small courtyard to gradually decrease before appearing in everyone's sight.
Looking at the white linen paper in Hu Er's second-hand, Chen Wen immediately let Hu Er go to the steps at the door of the north house and knelt down on one knee. Subsequently, under the attention of everyone, Hu Er opened the white linen paper and read it aloud.
"Today, the hereditary hundred households of Tianjin Right Guard, Chen Wen, has meritorious advice, and his people have traveled thousands of miles to serve the king, aiming to break the captivity. His heart can be expressed, his ambition is commendable, and he is specially awarded the post of guerrilla general of the old battalion in Dalanshan, and he is allowed to organize and train the new battalion at his request. I hope that his people will not forget the deep kindness of the country and fight bravely to kill the enemy, so that on the day of success, the court will not hesitate to reward the marquis. ”
At the end of the reading, Hu Er's two colleagues sent Wang Jinglue's gifts to Chen Wen one by one, and Chen Wen gave a reward according to the custom.
When Hu Er's two colleagues walked out, Chen Wen grabbed Hu Er and said a few words in his ear, which was immediately exchanged for Hu Er's eyebrows and smiles, only to see that after he peeked at the two colleagues to go out, he agreed with a full mouth, and then chased him out.
After Hu Er left, Chen Wen noticed these three gifts, a sword, a mountain armor, and a three-year-old white horse. The sword and Shan Wen armor were still in the tray on the small table in the courtyard, and the white horse was led into the Sun family's livestock shed.
He knew that in the era of cold weapons, divine soldiers, treasure armor and horses were the lives of martial artists, didn't Lu Bu kill Ding Yuan first and then Dong Zhuo in order to get these things, and then be called the killer of the mad demon Lu Fengxian by the seven-character party? Therefore, Wang Yi's three gifts can be called decent.
However, for Chen Wen, there is actually a more important thing, Wang Yi has already promised, but it is impossible to bring it because it is too heavy, and it is estimated that he will not be entrusted to it until he takes people to live in the military camp of the old camp in Dalanshan tomorrow.
At the same time, everyone was amazed by the three gifts, and their eyes were full of envy. Swords and horses are good to say, although they are rare, but everyone has not seen them, but the mountain armor is too rare.
The Shanwen armor itself is not easy to forge, especially at the moment when the two capitals fell and a large number of weapons and armor manufacturing craftsmen fell into the hands of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it was even more precious.
And the most important thing is that on Dalan Mountain, Shanwen armor is only available to the coach Wang Yi and Liu Yiming, Huang Zhongdao, and Mao Mingshan, the three generals with seals. Even those treasures that the general soldier and deputy generals did not have, Wang Yi actually gave Chen Wen, a newly baked guerrilla general, which shows that he attaches great importance to Chen Wen, which makes everyone more confident in following Chen Wen.
It's just that at this moment, Wang Yi's flattering eyes were once again thrown to the blind man. In Chen Wen's opinion, no matter how good the sword is, it is only useful to get close to it and kill it personally, and no matter how good the armor is, it can't stop the cheap projectiles of the fire cannon.
He once heard a friend who was a tour guide say that in the horse farms around Tianjin, a horse riding a lap costs hundreds of soft sister coins, which is more expensive than making a big sword.
And now, this horse belongs to him, isn't he able to ride it as much as he wants? When the time comes, tie a sheep's horn to the horse's forehead, and then it will become a unicorn? No, you have to paint the horns white and then tie them up to look like that.
As if seeing Chen Wen's bad intentions, the white horse immediately raised his head and neighed, trying to express his dissatisfaction with this.
And at this moment, Chen Wen obviously didn't have time to pay attention to the white horse's opinion, when Yin Ergou and the others were facing the mountain armor, revealing the state of the same color soul as Wu Dengke when he first came into contact with "Spring and Autumn", he began to assign tasks to everyone, and these people were also happy to complete these tasks, because these were opportunities for them to perform in front of Chen Wen. It is about their future status, and Chen Wen is also very relieved to hand over the work to them.
After Chen Wen sent everyone away one by one, Sun Yu also came back from duty. Obviously, Sun Yu already knew the good news that Chen Wen had obtained the military rank of guerrilla general, and he deliberately bought good wine and meat because of his shallow amount of alcohol, and prepared to give Chen Wen a pick-up. But after Chen Wen explained the plans and plans for the evening, Sun Yu consciously put away the wine again, saying that he would drink and talk when he came back in the evening.
Next, Chen Wen returned to the West House and began to study the specific establishment needed for the 500-strong battalion in his hands.
At dinner time, Wu Dengke rushed back.
The vast majority of people were assigned to persuade some men they knew who were physically fit to join the army to listen to Chen Wen talk about the ancient world tonight, and Wu Dengke also had another task, which was to go to the town to find Li Ruixin. However, he didn't seem to have done a good job of this task.
"General, when the villain arrived in town, he heard from his neighbor that he had gone out early yesterday morning and had not returned yet. The villain took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and he turned in, and everything in the house was there, but the weapons and horses were gone. The villain guessed that he might have gone out hunting. ”
Hunt? Chen Wen was very skeptical of this conclusion, especially thinking of the example of Li Ruixin not appearing with that Taizhou man last night, Chen Wen suddenly felt a little panicked.
Forget it, it's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, if Li Ruixin regrets it, let him go. The top priority now is to get the basics right first.
recalled that Wu Dengke was still calling himself a villain, and Chen Wen immediately helped him correct it. "Brother Wu, you and I are old acquaintances, just be commensurate with each other in private, there is no need to be so polite."
"The villain doesn't dare." Hearing this, Wu Dengke immediately bowed.
Seeing this, Chen Wen had no choice but to get up and help Wu Dengke up. Next, he informed him of the news of the appointment of Wu Dengke as the general manager of Qian, and said that he did not plan to appoint a garrison for the time being.
After receiving this information, Wu Dengke was grateful, immediately knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "The general knows the grace of his support, and although he dies in his humble position, it will be difficult to repay him. ”
Chen Wen, who had just sat down on his buttocks, had to get up again and help him up.
From this era, whether it is necessary for etiquette or as a last resort, Chen Wen has also knelt down for others. And as a modern person who has only performed this ritual when worshipping ancestors since he was a child, he really can't accept this kind of ritual to others.
There is a way to do unto others as you do not want to do to yourself, and Chen Wen, who thought about this, immediately wrote a sentence on the manuscript paper compiled by the research, and there is no kneeling in the army.
Putting aside these nonsense thoughts, Chen Wen continued to inspire according to what he had thought before: "Brother Wu, although the official position of the current dynasty is not as expensive as before, it can also glorify the ancestors. Do it well, and it is only a matter of time before the governor of the left army will be the governor of the palace. ”
The Governor of the Left Army Governor's Mansion is a military position that Wu Weizhong once obtained, and Wu Weizhong is Wu Dengke's idol from childhood to adulthood.
Chen Wen sacrificed this carrot, and Wu Dengke was immediately beaten. After being stunned for a long time, he reacted, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said that in the future, Chen Wen told him to go east, he didn't dare to go west, Chen Wen told him to chase dogs, he would never go to catch chickens, if he broke his oath, future generations, men will be thieves, and women will be prostitutes.
But this poisonous oath reminded Chen Wen that he had read a novel, and the protagonist of that novel once swore allegiance to his boss while always being ready to fight at a certain time period.
However, Chen Wen is not worried that Wu Dengke will do the same, because the ancients who believed in gods and Buddhas have always been extremely strict about their oaths. Moreover, after this period of getting along, Chen Wen did not feel that Wu Dengke was a shameless traverser who had been baptized by materialist thought.
Of course, the most important thing is that Chen Wen asked himself that this traverser would never become a traitor like Sun Degong, so he didn't need any "son of the plane" to correct history.
So, after Chen Wen appeased Wu Dengke, he asked him to continue to do things according to his arrangement, while he hurriedly ran to train the big white horse in the barn.
PS: I'm sorry for the lack of words in today's chapter. This chapter and the next chapter were originally written together in those two days, and after the writing was completed, the number of words scared the author, so it was divided into two chapters. If it is not divided, the author's manuscript will not be enough to support the addition when there is a big recommendation, I am very sorry. In addition, in order to ensure the smoothness of reading, the author did not distribute it evenly, and the number of words in tomorrow's chapter is about twice that of today's chapter, so I hope you forgive me.
