Chapter 66: Gathering Momentum

In the military camp outside Wei County, the deputy general Chang Yunzheng checked the grain and grass with the old clerk,

"Lao Chang, since our general got acquainted with the Shen Dongjia of the Beacon Merchant Company, not only is it much easier to march and fight, but our money and food have finally become rich, and we no longer have to look at the relief of the imperial court. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" the old clerk said with a smile.

His work is not easy, since the death of the old family master Chang Yuchun, the Chang family army has been subjected to the imperial court, in order to let the brothers eat enough, they really broke their legs, worn out their mouths, and watched the brothers shed blood and sacrifice one by one, but they couldn't even get a little settlement fee, and the Chang family army was also declining, only the deficit on the account book was increasing day by day.

Chang Yun glanced at the account book, then picked up the water bowl and poured it happily.

"Isn't it? I remembered how comfortable I was when I followed my eldest brother in the village, drinking wine in a big bowl, eating meat, dividing gold and silver on scales, and later serving the country in the army, we can also be called the strong force in the righteous army, who dares to underestimate us, but unfortunately the eldest brother left early, and the young master is too stubborn, and he doesn't want to bird those dog officials in the court, let them stumble, if I don't meet Shen Xiaozi, I will kill back to Beijing this time, kill them, and then go back to the mountains freely. ”

The old clerk hurriedly covered Chang Yun's mouth and whispered,

"This can not be said, in fact, it is not to blame the court, most of the brothers are born as water thieves, we were fighting in the south, the court can use us to be the vanguard who dares to take the lead, this is going to go ashore in the north, the brothers get off the boat and can't do it, the court doesn't need us, it's a pity that the brothers are useless."

The two of them were sighing, and suddenly the off-the-books junior reported that someone with a beacon firm asked to meet,

"Meet the two adults, the younger one is the Shen Dong family's personal entourage, and the Dong family has something important and wants to ask the army to send someone to help."

When the two of them saw him coming in the dust, sweating profusely, they politely gave up their seats.

"Just say something, the young general explained it when he left, and we will do our best to help with everything that is related to the Shen Dong family." The deputy general Chang Yun smiled and handed over a bowl of water.

Lai Youwei took a big sip, rudely wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said,

"The southbound fleet was robbed on the way over, and the owner was worried that they would ambush again on the way back, so they wanted to borrow some elite soldiers to help suppress the formation."

"This is not very easy to do, the major general will take away half of the people on the northern tour of the group, and the remaining less than five hundred will have to defend here, I'm afraid there won't be many people to send over." The old writer shook his head with a sad face.

The deputy general Chang Yun was not happy, his big hand forgot to slap on the table, stood up and retorted,

"What's so difficult, the most important thing for us to come out and mix is the morality of the rivers and lakes, how can we just take the benefits of people and not do anything, the old man personally brought his personal guards to help the field, and if there is no war for a few days, the birds are about to fade out, I want to see, is to see which one of the people who don't know each other dares to shout at us on the water!"

When Lai Youwei heard that there was a play, he hurriedly persuaded him,

"Don't worry, the two adults are in a hurry, when the owner came, he took into account the difficulty of the lack of people in the army, and specially asked me to go to the county town to gather some brothers who volunteered to join the army, so that they could first replace the heroes in the army to guard the border, and it only took more than a month to change back."

When the three of them came to the camp gate, they saw hundreds of men with meaty faces, disheveled, and sparsely sitting on the ground gagging.

"Can these people use it? Look at all the crooked ones, how can they look like soldiers. The old clerk pouted.

Lai Youwei was a little red-faced, but he couldn't let him look flat, patted his chest and said,

"Don't look at them now, my lord, these brothers have all seen blood, and they will not die when they fight, and they will never hold them back."

Lai Youwei was quite angry with Chang Yun, squinted his eyes and said,

"It doesn't matter if you enter the barracks, even if it's mud, we can refine him into steel, come here, and gather the soldiers in front of the camp."

More than a hundred ruffians were also called, and they stood in line so-so, and Lai Youwei shouted angrily in front,

"Cheer up Lao Tzu, you say that you are really not angry, you don't have any ability to fool around all day long, what kind of ability is it to bully some ordinary people, if you are not all landlubbers, Lao Tzu will take you out to sea this time, now give you a chance to hone in the army, you can't mix up your personal appearance, don't call me big brother in the future, this territory within a radius of 100 miles can't accommodate you, go far and go, this time Shen Dongjia gave each person ten taels of silver, if I come back, anyone gets the approval of Shangguan, and then add ten taels to you."

The ruffians have long been impatient, all of them are red and heartbeat, as the saying goes, a good man is not a soldier, they have no opinion on joining the army, but they thought that the military salary was too small before, but this time they only stayed in the army for more than a month, and they could earn enough ten taels of silver, enough to live happily for half a year.

Besides, this Lai Ba, no, now the boss has changed his mind and changed his name to Lai Youwei, he has been with Shen Dongjia since he has been in the limelight, not only the big and small gangsters in the county town have been cleaned up by him, but no one dares to give face when he mentions him in these ten miles and eight towns, in case he messes up this time, he will not be able to mix.

The soldiers gathered on the opposite side looked at the gangsters in front of them with disdain, what is there to be happy about a group of rookies, wait until you enter the barracks to see who can still laugh, the young masters are going to go out and have a good time.

Chang Yun stood in front of the team and asked in a loud voice,

"Brothers, you are all good men who are not afraid of death, but it is not enough for a good man to be able to fight, you must also know how to repay Entu, and only with affection and righteousness can you stand up to the heavens and the earth, I ask you, who sent rice and grain in our most difficult time?"

What kind of soldiers do the so-called generals, Chang Mao is lawless and arrogant, naturally these soldiers are also unscrupulous, and there are no court rules in their eyes, whoever is good to us remembers whom, roared and responded,

"Master Shen!"

The earth-shattering shout came, making the gangsters on the opposite side tremble.

"Who gave you the medicine to heal your wounds?"

"Master Shen!"

"Who brought auspiciousness, so that the fathers and elders in our hometown can have a full meal?"

"Master Shen!"

Seeing that the morale was boosted, Chang Yun turned his head and said in a deep voice,

"But some people are uncomfortable seeing that we are doing well, now there are people at sea who don't know whether they are alive or dead to rob the Shen family's ship, and we can't live a good life if the goods are lost, if Master Shen has three longs and two shorts, can your conscience be at ease? What do you say? ”

"Help Master Shen fight the war and beat his mother."

"Loot their boats, rob their nests."

All the soldiers shouted one after another, and even the nature of being a water bandit back then was revealed, leaving the old clerk speechless.

Chang Yun didn't care, he was already enthusiastic, and shouted,

"It's not a good thing to say that you don't practice, if you are afraid of death, you will be the same as the group of mischievous people opposite, stay in the barracks and live happily, this time I will bring two hundred people over to help the field, if you think you haven't forgotten the kung fu on the water, stand up, let them see the majesty of our rivers and seas back then!"

Which soldier can stand such contempt, one by one with burning eyes and rushing to stand up, we are a little worse to march and fight on land, but when we go to the water, we are old-fashioned, how can we admit it.

Lai Youwei was excited to see the soldiers who stood up with their hands, the owner really won the hearts of the people, and this vision was also extremely accurate.

In the county seat, Ouyang Chen looked at Gao Sheng under the seat and smiled bitterly, this Shen boy is capable, and he is still good at causing trouble, can the soldiers in this military camp be transferred casually? However, the emperor is far away, so it is good to let these soldiers go out to yoke, saving them the autumn breeze in their own territory, and most of them have entered the military camp to practice, and the interface can be much more stable.

"The old man will carry the pot for him again, you have to keep your mouth shut, take care of him more on the road, and don't make too much trouble."

Gao Sheng nodded with a smile and asked,

"My lord works hard, and I will naturally cooperate with it, but in order to prevent foreign enemies from attacking, the firearms workshop still has some surplus goods in the county office, do you think you can take some out?"

On the wharf, the merchants who participated in the southward journey also got Shen Yue's entrustment, and the people who could participate in it were all long-experienced business wars, which was not a strongman who was killed in their own business, this time they pinned their high hopes on turning things around, since they had taken a step, they were already prosperous and prosperous with the Shen family, and they had sent their men to contact, and they had money to contribute and make a strong contribution.

In just two days, the situation has been turned around, and a huge caravan is rapidly assembling and preparing to go.
