Chapter 18 The Initial Determination of Heavenly Mansion

Yue Fei didn't know what Wang Gui was thinking. He also did not deliberately alienate Wang Gui. As a partner who grew up together from childhood to adulthood, he knows Wang Gui's character very well, just like his father Wang Ming Wang Yuanwai, a little smart, likes to take advantage of the city, and has a calm nature, but lacks the spirit of not being afraid of death. Yue Fei felt that Wang Gui was more suitable to lead the infantry and fight with the enemy. This is also the reason why Yue Fei appointed Wang Gui as the deputy head of the capital and commanded hundreds of infantry when he was the head of the capital under Liu Hao. It was also the reason why Yue Fei asked Wang Gui to train three thousand recruits. Yue Fei has always believed that people should be put in a position that suits everyone.

It would be irresponsible to the cavalry to let someone fit to lead the infantry command the cavalry. In the same way, it would be irresponsible to the infantry to put a man who is fit to lead the cavalry.

However, Yue Fei didn't know what Wang Gui was thinking, which didn't mean that others didn't feel it. Since the first day of serving as the deputy envoy of the Protector Corps, Zhang Xian found that there was something more in Wang Gui's eyes when he looked at him. That thing can be called eye heat, or it can be called jealousy.

In fact, even Zhang Xian himself didn't expect Yue Fei to appoint himself as the deputy envoy of the regimental training. But Zhang Xian has always been a person who does not give up. Since Brother Yue looks up to me, I have to do a good job as the deputy envoy of the regimental training. I want everyone to see that Brother Yue was right to promote me.

After Yue Fei instructed Wang Gui and Yue Heng to continue training, he led Zhang Xian and more than a dozen personal soldiers out of the barracks. He wanted to take a walk around the streets of Ying Tianfu to make sure that order in the city had returned to normal.

After the establishment of the Protector Legion, in addition to putting 3,000 recruits in the barracks for training, the 2,000 veterans fought almost every day. Five days ago, Yue Fei personally led 500 cavalry troops, breaking the system and wishing 7,000 people in the chaotic army. Zhu Xingzai led the remnants of the army to Xuzhou.

Four days ago, Yue Fei led 1,500 infantry soldiers to meet the joint forces of more than 10,000 people in front of the Yingtianfu Ya, Liu Fu, Sang Zhong, and Kong Yanzhou. The coalition forces attacked with a sea of people tactically, and Yue Fei responded with a strict infantry gun formation. After half an hour of fierce fighting between the two sides, Zhang Xianjiqian each led 200 cavalry troops to break into the joint army position from the rear. The coalition forces were defeated. Zhang Xian went to capture Sang Zhong and beheaded him.

Three days ago, Yue Fei sent Yue Fan to lead 200 cavalry troops to break the 700 rebels of Sun Sheng and Sun Qing's brothers in the military camp west of the city, and Sun Sheng's Sun Qing brothers fled to Yucheng.

After the brothers Sun Sheng and Sun Qing escaped from Yingtian City, there were no more battles in the city with more than 100 people. All the rebels have surrendered or gone. The rest are just the ruffians and hooligans of Ying Tianfu. They took advantage of the chaos in Yingtianfu for a while, and they did something hurtful to the heavens and reason.

The locals hated these ruffians the most. No matter how you say it, it's also the villagers, and you usually don't do evil, but when the people in the whole city are panicking, you are still bullying men and women, killing people and setting fires, so naturally it is impossible to let you go.

The ruffians here also knew that their actions for a while could not be forgiven by Father Ying. So they hid in Tibet and fanned the flames everywhere. Trying to make Ying Tianfu chaotic again, they can make another profit, and then take the opportunity to escape from the city. But what they didn't expect was that more than 20,000 chaotic troops were wiped out by the Protector Corps within three days.

Since the day before yesterday, Yue Fei sent five hundred old soldiers, divided into dozens of roads, set up checkpoints in various streets and alleys, and began to arrest those hooligans who were like rats crossing the street. In just two days, the hundreds of hooligans and gangsters who had done evil in Ying Tianfu for a while were all found out.

At Yue Fei's behest, these gangsters were all beheaded on the street.

Yue Fei believes that this kind of gangsters who can harm even their own city should not be expected to become good people at all. It's better to kill it with a knife.

Sure enough, after hundreds of gangsters were found out, Ying Tianfu was cleared. Business people no longer have to worry about being extorted for protection money. People with daughters are no longer worried that their daughters will be deceived. Naturally, the happier ones are the small traders who walk the streets and alleys with picks and whistles to do business.

Yue Fei and Zhang Xian were walking on the street, and more than a dozen pro-soldiers scattered, some walking in front, and some following far behind them. Yue Fei was originally reluctant to let these pro-soldiers follow him. Yue Fei once said with a smile, if even Zhang Xian and I can't deal with people, you pro-soldiers will be in vain.

But the soldiers still did their duty. They also knew that Yue and Zhang were extremely brave. If you really meet the assassins, you may have to protect their own soldiers. But each of the soldiers told themselves in their hearts that if they encountered a large group of assassins, they would die, and they would also protect Yue and Zhang to evacuate.

Whether it was Yue Fei and Zhang Xian, or the dozen or so pro-soldiers, they were all wearing armor and uniforms. I didn't change into civilian clothes because I had to go out on the streets.

In order to distinguish itself from other armies, the Protector Corps has a slight difference in clothing from other armies. Although they are all the same Fan Yangli, the same Zhu Hongjun uniform. However, there is a character for protection written on the chest of the Protector Legion, and a character for the people is written on the back. If you wear armor, the natural paint on the armor is also the word "protector".

It had only been five days since the Protector Legion had been in practice, and the people of the whole country had already memorized their attire. Some adults would even take their children's hands and walk to the Protector Corps training on the street, pointing to the word Protector embroidered on the Protector and saying, "Son, you have to remember that if you encounter bad people in the future, run to these uncles, and they will save you." I'm telling you, there must be a word on the chest. A soldier who doesn't have this word on his chest is a bad person, and you have to run as far as you see.

When the patrolling guards heard these words, they naturally stood more straight, and their chests were higher. They are proud: good men are not soldiers. When did the common people of our Emperor Song Dynasty respect the soldiers so much, even if it was the Praetorian Guards in the capital, the common people were all disgusted and scared when they saw it. But look at us now that we are training as a township protection army, all the people look up to us. Join the Protector Corps to practice, value. Follow General Yue, value.

So Yue Fei and the others walked on the street, and no one avoided them. Cloth shops, restaurants, pawn shops, jewelry shops, inns, fruit shops, those who should do business are still open for business. Those who are bargaining are still bargaining. Although some old people will nod their heads when they see them. But most people have apparently come to see them as the same people as the people. Even though more than a dozen sharp-eyed people saw the difference in the armor of Yue Fei and Zhang Xian, they guessed that they should be training officers of the Protector Legion. But he didn't take the initiative to come forward to say hello, or kneel down and kowtow or anything.

The news of the lack of kneeling in the Protector Army had already spread throughout Yingtian City. To the surprise of Li Bashao and others, the common people did not think that there was anything wrong with this rule of the People's Protector Army. Lao Tzu has a pair of knees, which are used to kneel to the sky and kneel to his parents, but he doesn't have to kneel when he sees any cows, ghosts, snakes and gods. Only a few people who read the book think that the Protector's move is a bit perverse.

However, compared with the welcome of the whole city, the remarks of these scholars did not make much noise at all.

What Yue Fei didn't expect was that there were two small merchants and vendors selling fresh melons and fruits who had been following him with picks, and kept recommending their own products.

"Two military masters, come, try our watermelon, grown in our own field, wrapped in sweet, not sweet and no money. Ten cents for a large watermelon, cost-effective. Master Jun, let's have one. ”

Although Yue Fei and Zhang Xian kept waving their hands and saying no, the two hawkers seemed to have decided that the two were military officers and had money, so they wanted to sell watermelons to them. Now the people of Yingtian City know that the training salary of the Protector Legion is high, three taels per month, which even exceeds the standard of the forbidden army. And when the army was formed five days ago, a month's military salary was already paid. In the past few days, the Protector Corps has been fighting, and it is estimated that the military salary has not had time to be spent. Finally, I saw two officers who were walking in the street at leisure, how could they not sell them some watermelons and earn a few of their military salaries?

The two vendors, one younger and in his twenties, the other older and in his fifties, each carrying a dozen large watermelons, resting on their shoulders and sweating profusely. Yue Fei saw that they were really tired, and he really couldn't stand the noise of these two hawkers. He stopped, looked at the two vendors and smiled, "You two are father and son, right?"

The old peddler saw Yue Fei stop to ask, quickly put down his pick, took out a large watermelon from the basket, and smashed it open with a fist, revealing the red and black seeds inside. Then he took it to Yue Fei and said with a smile, "Master Jun, try my watermelon." Wrap sweet. The military master has good eyesight. This is my three boys. ”

Yue Fei took the watermelon and took a bite, it was hot, but it was not delicious. However, Yue Fei still ate half of the watermelon, and handed the other half of the watermelon to Zhang Xian. Then he smiled and said to the old vendor, "I ate your watermelon." I don't have any money with me, so what should I do?"

The old peddler didn't seem to be worried at all, and said with a smile, "It's okay, the military master just eats, and you can give me the money tomorrow." My three boys and I go into the city every day. ”

Yue Fei said with a smile, "How can the Protector Army have a reason not to give money for food. It's just that our group really didn't bring any money. In this case, your father and son will carry the watermelon, follow my soldiers to the camp of the Protector Army, and go to an officer named Yue Heng to pay. ”

The old peddler immediately thanked him repeatedly. Yue Fei beckoned a personal soldier and asked him to lead the pair of vendors to the barracks. When the pair turned around and were about to leave, Yue Fei stopped the vendor again and asked, "You came in from outside the city to sell watermelons?" What's going on outside the city now? Messy no? ”

The old peddler said, "If you go back to the military master, my family lives on the outskirts of the city. A few days ago, it was quite chaotic, and there were often rebels and displaced people who went to spoil the melon fields. Fortunately, my watermelon was not ripe at that time, otherwise it would have been eaten up. Since Uncle Ji, Uncle Yue, and Uncle Xu in the People's Protector Army the day before yesterday, it seems that there is also an Uncle Zhao who led the troops to expel them, and the people in our area can be regarded as having a peaceful life. However, I heard from my relatives that it should be safe within 30 miles of Tianfu, but it will not be peaceful 30 miles away from the city. ”

Yue Fei nodded, signaling that he understood. The father and son peddler carried the watermelon and followed Yue Fei's personal soldiers to the barracks. As the old peddler walked, he said proudly, "Three boys, learn from your father." To do business is to look at people. When I saw these two guys dressed differently, they were different. guessed that they must be officers, and then think that the military discipline of the people is so good, and the officials must be kind-hearted. Would a kind-hearted person be reluctant not to buy our watermelon? Sure enough, I was right. This time, the watermelons were all sold out at once. Learn a little bit from your daddy. ”

The three boys nodded yes again and again. At this time, the pro-soldier who led the way couldn't help but say, "Those two are not just officers, they are Yue Fei, the regimental training envoy of our people's protection army, and Zhang Xian, the deputy envoy of regimental training. ”

The old peddler exclaimed, "Oh my God." Impossible. ”

Thinking that the old peddler did not believe his words, the soldier asked unhappily, "What is impossible?" Aren't they like great generals? ”

The third boy hurriedly said, "No, Master Jun. It's just that Yue Tuanlian is a god of heaven, with a height of two zhang and four feet, blue eyes and green hair, green face and fangs, and can defeat ten thousand, and several generals under the seat are also reincarnated by the stars, all of them are two feet tall, with red eyes and green hair ....... ”

Now it's the turn of the pro-soldiers to listen stupidly. He was stunned for a long time before asking, "Who did you listen to?"

The old peddler glanced at his own soldiers, and said confidently, "That's what we countrymen say." If it weren't for such a god, how could it be possible to keep us from heaven?"
