Chapter 88: The owner of the village chases for his life
"Presumably you are Yang Tingjian, hehe, if you are terrible, your song "Qinyuan Spring and Snow" is really majestic, majestic mountains and rivers, and the old man can't reach it."
"The governor has an overreputation, so I am ashamed to make the late life, the governor please."
After all, Ma Shiying is the governor of the second grade, and Yang Tingjian is a son, even if he is a new branch Xie Yuan, when he sees Ma Shiying, he still has to claim to be a late student, as for the identity of the brocade guard, don't take it out to talk about things, fortunately, Wenchen doesn't hate Nanzhen Fusi who doesn't care too much.
Because the Nanzhen Fusi is not responsible for arresting officials, only the discipline of the guards and the army, and there is no edict and prison, the civilian official group still does not have too much ill feelings towards the Nanzhen Fusi, but hopes that the Nanzhen Fusi can suppress the Beizhen Fusi.
Yang Tingjian led Ma Shiying, who dismounted, to his tent, which happened to be the time for dinner, except for the soldiers standing guard, all of them were lined up to eat in full gear.
The queue for this meal is a straight line, never crooked in the slightest, and only amazes Ma Shiying, which immediately arouses Ma Shiying's curiosity, and hurriedly asks:
"Bingru, are the Son of Heaven's pro-army so mighty and majestic?"
Now Ma Shiying is no longer calling Yang Tingjian's name, but calling Yang Tingjian's words, it can be seen that Ma Shiying is still very tactful, not holding that I am an elder, you should respect my dead attitude.
"Lord Governor, this is the new army of Jinyi Wei that was raised by himself in the late years, and it has only been in the army for three months, because he has not been on the battlefield and has seen blood, he is not a strong army."
When Ma Shiying heard that Yang Tingjian had taken one hundred taels of silver to build a new army, his mouth couldn't close at that time. This is a million taels of silver, and the savings of dozens of generations of countless big families may not be so much, and this Yang Tingjian easily took out a million silver to raise the army, then Yang Tingjian's family is afraid that it is rich and rivals the country.
Ma Shiying is a native of Guizhou, of course, he can't understand how rich those rich merchants in Jiangnan are, especially the maritime merchants who have ships to smuggle silk and porcelain, that is what is called rich, and even the salt merchants in Yangzhou are ashamed of themselves.
Ma Shiying immediately made up her mind to have a good relationship with Yang Tingjian, and she didn't put up a fight in front of Yang Tingjian. Xuanfu is a strategic point, Ma Shiying knows what his army is like, this Xuanfu and the Beijing division are more than 400 miles, if there is something in Xuanfu in the future, then according to the itinerary of the new army of Jinyiwei, you can rush to support him in four days, this is a very powerful foreign aid!
"Bingru! It is really a public loyalty to the country, and the role model of my generation of scholars is also ......"
Suddenly, Yang Tingjian's stomach "growled", and Yang Tingjian had no choice but to laugh and say:
"Lord Governor, why don't we have a light meal together!"
"Yes! …… The old man thanked Bingru for his hospitality. ”
As soon as Yang Tingjian beckoned, he asked a soldier to fetch two rice plates, and soon the rice plates were delivered to Yang Tingjian and Ma Shiying.
Ma Shiying looked at the rice plate in his hand suspiciously, this rice plate was the same size as a vegetable plate that he usually uses, made of all iron sheets, with three small grooves on it, one big groove, Ma Shiying didn't understand the function of this rice plate.
"Lord Governor, this is a military camp, let's follow the customs! …… Let's line up. ”
Yang Tingjian took the lead in walking to the back of the queue to eat, and Ma Shiying had no choice but to follow as if he didn't understand, thinking to himself:
"That's inviting me to dinner, but what are we doing in line behind the soldiers? I was also holding a strange food plate, which I really couldn't understand. ”
Even if Yang Tingjian went to eat, the other soldiers lined up exactly the same, and there was nothing special about it. All the soldiers who were lining up to eat immediately turned around, and their feet sounded together, and these soldiers who were fighting rice saluted Yang Tingjian. The military salute of the Jinyi Wei New Army is also the same as that of the modern army, and it is not at all a fist salute of the Ming Dynasty:
"Smack...... Hello adults"
Yang Tingjian also put his feet together and returned the salute to the soldiers:
"Hello comrades...... Please continue. ”
"Huh"
All the soldiers immediately turned to the spot and continued to line up quietly for food.
Because of the order, the speed of cooking is very fast, and it will be Yang Tingjian and Ma Shiying's turn after a while, and Ma Shiying at this time understands the role of this plate, the small groove holds the vegetables, and the large groove holds the rice.
There are three dishes and one soup during the march, which is already a very good standard of food. During this meal, Ma Shiying had a lot of feelings:
"Such an army is the invincible army in the world, and those border troops under their own command are not worthy of carrying shoes for them."
Ma Shiying secretly planned in his heart that he must train those wastes under him. But if it is effective, it is difficult to say, there is no silver in this, and if you want to train the army well, it is basically a pipe dream.
……
Three days later, Yang Tingjian's convoy bought a little more grain in Xuanfu, and immediately set off after replenishment, leaving Xuanfu is to follow the official road, and arrived at Huai'anwei two days later, and the official road from Huai'anwei to Yanghewei is by the Great Wall.
This section of the road is the most dangerous, because this section of the Great Wall is the most dilapidated, many places are unguarded, only some scattered beacon bunkers, once found that the Mongol Tatars have entered and plundered, these forts will immediately light the wolf smoke alarm.
The people who are located in the border guard post immediately fled to the tunpu to defend it, these guard guards did not dare to come out to fight with the Mongolian Tartars at all, the big tunpu Mongolian Tatars will also not be dispatched, once the small tunpu is breached, that is, the chickens and dogs will not be left, the Mongolian Tartars will kill all the men, the young women will be robbed, and of course the food and property will be looted.
Yang Tingjian still chose to take this official road, one is that the road is spacious, and the other is that the official road is close to the Yellow River, and it is convenient to get water, although there are 30 water wheels in the convoy, Yang Tingjian has 6,000 people, but he can't support it for a few days. (Six thousand men and horses, of which four thousand were men and more than two thousand horses.) )
After leaving Huai'an, it is even more desolate here, basically no people can be seen, the official road is full of wasteland on both sides, and the weeds in the wasteland are at least one person high, because it is winter now, and they have all withered, but from the height of this weed, there should be enough rain here, otherwise the weeds will not grow so tall at all.
Yang Tingjian rode a war horse, looking at the desolate scene on both sides of the road, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, if the country is strong, those Mongolian Tatars dare to enter and plunder, this is all good land! It was abandoned in vain.
"Click...... Report ......"
A night did not close the gallop, and when he arrived in front of Yang Tingjian, he immediately reined in the war horse under his crotch, and then reported loudly:
"Report ...... Lord Yang, the number of people who found the bandits in front is unknown......"
"Revisiting ......"
Yang Tingjian immediately asked the team to stop and rest in place, and then asked the signal corps to call a few thousand households to the command car for a meeting, which was actually a slightly wider four-wheeled carriage.
