readx;?readx; Chapter 250 Jingshan Refugee Camp
The Great Qin army was constructed by the four major systems of imperial and forbidden border guards. www.biquge.info The border army is distributed on the two long borders of Daqin, guarding the border; the guards are stationed in the provinces and provinces to defend the place; the imperial forest army is stationed in the central capital to defend the emperor and the imperial city; the forbidden army is the main force of the imperial court's expedition to the south and the north.
Among them, the Tiance Army was stationed in the Hedong Camp fifty miles east of the Zhongdu City, the Broken Army was stationed in the Hexi Camp sixty miles southeast of the Zhongdu City, the Yingyang Army was stationed in the Yueshan Camp in the south, the Tiejia Army was in the Pengzhou Camp in the southeast, the Tiger Ben Army was in the Beihe Camp in the northeast, and the Longxiang Army was in the Xihe Camp in the northwest; The Shenwu Army was in the Xichuan camp due west. Coupled with the Imperial Forest Army stationed in the capital, it formed today's Eight Forbidden Army.
But a hundred years ago, the Eight Armies were not lined up like this, and the Imperial Forest Army was a separate column, or it would not be called the Imperial Forbidden Border Guard. At that time, there was also a soldier called Zongzheng Mansion in the Eight Great Army, and for many years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has always occupied the throne of the strongest army in the world, winning countless victories for Great Qin, as well as high honors, so that the other seven armies are willing to bow down.
This iron army, which terrified the foreign powers, was stationed in the Jingshan camp fifty miles southwest of the central capital at that time.
After all these years of ups and downs, except for the short-lived seventeen years ago, the once famous Zongzheng soldiers have long since disappeared, but the Jingshan camp where they were once stationed is still lively......
At the foot of the beautiful Jingshan Mountain, there is a large number of houses that cannot be seen as far as the eye can see, all of these houses are square, each one is five zhang long and two zhang wide, and it seems that it was originally neat and tidy. But the wind and rain have been eroded by the years, and many houses have collapsed, and even those that have not fallen have been tattered and crumbling, and if they are not supported by some logs, I am afraid that they will not be able to hold on.
The ruined houses supported by logs are surrounded by neat or sparse fences, indicating the owner's possession of them. On the ground in the yard, there were some pumpkins, winter melons and other melons and vegetables that were easy to feed, and occasionally there were two skinny housekeeping dogs, listlessly looking at the uninvited guests coming from the west mountain road, Xu was hungry, Xu was there nothing to steal at home, these dogs were too lazy to bark, and when those people walked closer, they turned around and ran away. Obviously, they think they are the most important thing in the house.
A handsome young man in a black cloak, escorted by a group of black-armored knights, stepped on the muddy road and slowly entered this refugee-like place.
Looking at the feces and garbage everywhere, the knights had to pull down their faces to ward off the disgusting stench. Although this is nothing compared to the smell of corpses outside the Xiangyang Lake Water Village, it will always remind them of that smell, and then think of that unpleasant experience, so they still don't smell it.
Their leader, the handsome young man, seemed to be indifferent to this, still staring at everything around him with a grim face. Well, he admits that he used a special ointment made by a confidante and couldn't smell the stench at all.
It seems to be occupied by some displaced people who have fled to Beijing, and these people are doing extremely poorly. Just as he was about to lose interest in all this, the young man noticed some unusual marks on the earthen wall on one side, raised his whip and pointed at it, and one of the knights turned over and dismounted, not caring at all about the splashes of black mud staining his shiny armor.
"It's a broken knife, there are blood stains on it, it looks like it's from the last few days." The knight dug out the thing embedded in the wall, looked at it closely, and then exclaimed: "There is still a lot of blood, but it is only covered by the sludge!" "The knight has clearly made a new discovery.
"Oh?" The young man was pondering when he saw a figure appear on the corner of the street, but it disappeared in a flash. As soon as the young man waved his hand, several black knights rode after him, and after a while around the corner, instead of arresting the man, they also sent out a hurried alarm signal.
"Fack!" The young man cursed softly, and then ordered the knights who were ready to attack, "Stay in formation and get those pigs' heads back." The knights all tapped the leggings with the bright Tang knife in their right hand, and under the leadership of the captain, they slowly accelerated, but did not let the war horse gallop, and trotted all the way to the corner of the street.
When they got closer to the corner, they heard a shout of fighting, and although they obeyed the order, the knights could not help but speed up. Rounding the corner, I saw two brothers lying in the mud, while the rest fanned out, protecting them with crossbows and knives. It wasn't until the black-clothed guards in the back came up and took over the defense that a few people breathed a sigh of relief, put away their crossbow swords, turned their horses in front of the young man, lifted their faces, and said in shame: "Lord Qiqi, we have been attacked." ”
The young man was Qin Lei, and after resting in the Hot Spring Palace for two days, he rushed to the Jingshan camp with his subordinates. He had to rush to the camp, which was said to be abandoned, to make a forward stop for the next people to arrive at the camp, to pack up the place, to prepare the fortifications, barracks, food, and to make him feel at home. After getting so much good news, he couldn't wait, showing a rare initiative.
But often the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Little did he know that it was a huge garbage dump than the worst slum he'd ever seen. What made him even more unacceptable was that his black-clothed guard was actually attacked here.
The bad news was as annoying as this garbage dump, and the face of the king of Longwei County was naturally not good-looking, and he shouted with a sinking face: "Tell me clearly." ”
The leader of several black-clothed guards was Qin Wei, only to hear him say a little angrily: "Let's follow that figure and run here, who would have thought that there would be a stumbling rope in this kind of ghost place, and they were caught off guard, and the two brothers who took the lead suffered a loss." As he spoke, he held a bamboo arrow in both hands and offered it, and said fearfully: "Those people were followed by a rain of arrows, if it weren't for the fact that this kind of bamboo arrow couldn't pierce our armor, we were afraid that we would all have to fold it inside." ”
Qin Lei listened to him with a calm face, and asked in a low voice, "How are people?" ”
"The fall is not light, I'm afraid I'm going to lie down for a few months." Qin Wei hurriedly replied.
Qin Lei nodded, let them go down first, and then called Xu Tian, and commanded in a deep voice: "It's three minutes now, no matter what method you use, give Gu before three minutes, drive out all the rats in these garbage heaps and send them to Gu." Xu Tian originally wanted to ask the prince to give him another hour, but then he thought that he was going to be of great use, if he couldn't even handle this little thing, what face would be of great use, so he simply agreed.
Seeing that he agreed, Qin Lei turned his horse's head, left the stinking ground with his personal guard, and waited on his horse at a ventilated height. The guards put on their faces and breathed in the fresh air.
Shi Yong took a military blanket from his horse, spread it on a large bluestone, and asked Qin Lei to sit down. Shi Kang was left in the Hot Spring Palace to protect Princess Yongfu, and he temporarily served as Qin Lei's orderly.
After Qin Lei sat down, Shi Yong took the kettle from the horseback and washed the prince's face and hands upside down. Stirred by the cold water, Qin Lei's mind cleared up a lot, and he muttered, "What do you say is going on here?" Why do I feel weird? ”
Shi Yong saw that the prince had finished washing, so he picked up the kettle and drank it, then plugged it on, hung it on the horse's back, and said in a muffled voice: "Our marching speed is not slow, but we were ambushed by these people, and they reacted too quickly, not like ordinary people at all." ”
Qin Lei nodded, concentrating on the village under the high ground, only to see the black-armored cavalry ten people lined up in a row, divided into many groups, under the protection of the archers, along the streets between the houses, repeatedly sweeping and patrolling, but there was no shadow of a person, but the few thin dogs were cornered, lying on the ground, holding their heads and waiting for death.
After wasting a lot of time, the defenders finally changed their tactics and first divided and surrounded the suspicious area. After the group was surrounded, the black-clothed guard stepped forward to throw the flying fire meteor bullet, at this time, the autumn dry matter was dry, the fire was easily ignited, and the thick black smoke even drifted to Qin Lei with the wind.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough ......" A flurry of coughing suddenly sounded, and Qin Lei had no choice but to take Shi Yong and them to transfer, leave this outlet, and find a leeward place to stay. Although he was very embarrassed, he was still very happy, and said to Shi Yong with a gesture: "See, the standard outline action, everyone has done it very well, not to mention the casualties, but also to get twice the result with half the effort." As he spoke, he patted him on the shoulder and praised, "Your sweat is not in vain." "Shi Yong is the head of the entire palace, responsible for the daily training of the guards, Qin Lei said this.
Hearing the prince's appreciation, Shi Yong was also very happy, but his feelings were not as exposed as Shi Meng's, he just smiled and began to criticize himself: "There are still many places that are not in place, and when the search was carried out, there were several places that were missed." ”
Qin Lei smiled: "Don't ask for full blame, at least they know that one plan doesn't work, and they will immediately change to another, and there is no way to go to the dark." Saying that, he said with a smile: "Rats are most afraid of smoke and fire, and they are not afraid that they will not come out obediently." Shi Yong also felt that there was no problem, and discussed something else with Qin Lei with a smile. Lord, what should we do next? Is it still as planned? "They had planned to clean the camp and start opening the doors.
Shaking his head, Qin Lei smiled bitterly: "This place is even worse than the pigsty, either we can assemble in another place, or we have to take advantage of the bulldozing in the past few days to set up a new tent." I'll talk about it when those people come. Without waiting for Shi Yong to respond, he had already made a choice: "Our 6,000 people, at least this number of people from all over the country, plus those silverfish, I'm afraid there will be no less than 20,000, but there is no other place to stuff it." After a pause, he said helplessly: "I can only bulldoze and rebuild here." Shi Yong nodded in response, as for the specific details, he still has to wait for the prince to discuss.
Rubbing his chin and groaning for a moment, Qin Lei asked softly, "When will they all arrive?" ”
Shi Yong gratefully took out a notebook from the iron box on his back, turned it to the last page a little clumsily, and read softly: "According to the news from the Western Xinjiang Espionage Bureau, Shen Qing and the others have already stepped into the Yumen Pass, and they will be able to arrive in half a month at most. ”
Qin Lei was overjoyed when he heard this: "So fast? I really miss them. ”
Shi Yong smiled and continued to read: "The date of the report on the departure of the soldiers from the Zongzheng Mansion is the third day of the new year, and these people should arrive at the seventh day of the first month at the latest."
Qin Lei pouted and said, "Not necessarily, you just see, those uncles can't figure out what moths they can come up with." ”
Shi Yong smiled and said, "Isn't the prince a master who specializes in all kinds of disobedience?" Can't deal with those guys? ”
Listening to his subordinates say the new words he created, Qin Lei smiled proudly: "You just look at it, Lao Tzu can't recognize his parents if they clean them up." ”
Shi Yong also knew how to make fun, and said seriously: "My subordinates will wait and see." Then he talked about the third wave of humanity: "The arrival time of support manpower varies from place to place because of the distance and proximity. If you are close to several provinces, you will arrive in about seven days, and if you are farther away, such as Shannan and Jiangbei, it is estimated that it will take a month. ”
Qin Lei nodded and said in a deep voice: "Today is the second day of junior high school, we must make a preliminary appearance before the eighth year of junior high school. Shi Yong nodded in response, and the two began to plan specific implementation steps, and even planned a blueprint for the future military camp......
As he spoke, the sun gradually turned westward, Qin Lei glanced at the narrow shadow on the ground, and asked casually, "What time is it?" Qin Wei, who came back with him, looked at the hourglass and reported softly: "It's two quarters of the hour." ”
Qin Lei put down the drawings in his hand and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on over there?" Why don't you just look at the smoke and see no movement? At this time, he also came back to his senses from his thoughts, glanced at Qin Wei on the side, and asked lightly: "Gu asked Xu Tian to complete the task in three moments, did he complete it?" ”
Qin Wei sweated on his forehead, and said with difficulty, "Deputy Commander Xu is stepping up the encirclement and suppression......"
With a displeased wave of his hand, Qin Lei said sternly: "Why don't you remind Lone?" When did you learn the same as in the officialdom, and you will still deceive your superiors and subordinates, and the officials will protect each other? ”
Qin Wei was scolded and sweated profusely, knelt down, kowtowed, and said: "The deputy commander Xu came to beg me, and the subordinates saw that he said pitifully, so they agreed in confusion for a while, and asked the prince to punish him." ”
Qin Lei snorted coldly: "Now is not the time, you are indispensable when the matter is over." Go and ask him, with an elite army of 1,500 or 600 people, it is so troublesome to even clean a broken village, is he a pig or is his men a group of pigs? It's been three hours! It's time to finish the house! Qin Wei hurriedly ran down the mountain. After a long while, he ran back again, out of breath and said, "Qiyu...... Lord Wang, it's really evil! ”
Qin Lei scolded with a smile: "You have just lost the door, relax, speak slowly!" ”
Qin Wei took a few deep breaths before he said slowly: "The brothers under the mountain have already set those houses on fire, but they haven't forced out a single living creature in the end. ”
"Oh," Qin Lei felt a little incredulous, and said in a deep voice, "Take Gu to have a look." Qin Wei hurriedly led the way and walked down the mountain.
Bypassing a mountain beam, Qin Lei saw that the fire under the mountain had gradually decreased. went down the mountain, followed Qin Wei along the fire for a while, and saw the grizzled Xu Tian.
As soon as he saw the prince, Xu Tian knelt down with shame on his face and said: "My subordinates are incompetent, please punish the prince!" ”
Qin Lei still said with the same rhetoric: "You are indispensable after the incident, now get up first and talk to Gu about the situation." Xu Tian stood up dejectedly, didn't even dare to raise his head, and had only one thought in his heart, which was useless.
Qin Lei still knew the psychological dynamics of the people around him, walked up to him, and scolded softly: "Things that are not productive, if you are a little frustrated, you will bow your head and hang your horns, and tell me how to use you in the future." When Xu Tian heard this, it turned out that the prince had not given up on me, and he suddenly came to his senses, raised his head, and said with a small mouth: "Lord Qiqi, we have turned this place into ashes, and there is only one possibility for subordinates to infer it." He pointed to the ground and said softly, "They're hiding in a rat hole." ”
Qin Lei said noncommittally: "It is also possible that he was directly burned to death by the fire." ”
"There is no way, when the next subordinate entered the village, he paid attention to the inhabited houses, and found that there were as many as sixty, and so many people would not have been burned to death." As the oldest scout with the most qualifications, these details are difficult for Xu Tian.
Qin Lei nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, you are not completely confused yet, then please ask Deputy Commander Xu to think of a way to force the rats out of the hole." Lone is very curious, what kind of rats are they? ”
