Chapter 5 The Overseer is coming

Just when Han Yue and Xu Zumin were chatting about their daily routines, in the big tent of the Chinese army a thousand steps away from Han Yue's dilapidated barracks, Yuan Chonghuan, who was dressed in regular clothes, was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, his face was elegant and clear, his expression was solemn, a wisp of white beard was combed under his chin, and he occasionally looked up in the direction of Jingshi, and then looked up in the direction of Liaodong, with an undisguised worry on his face.

......

Han Yue's body recovered surprisingly fast, and he was already able to go to the ground after two days, on the one hand, thanks to the effect of the special gold sore medicine made by Medical Officer Li in the army, on the other hand, Han Yue in this world is relatively strong as a martial artist, different from Wang Erkui's thin body, Han Yue began to practice martial arts under the guidance of Han Kuan since he was a child, although Han Yue did not have much talent for martial arts, but the perennial beating exercise made him look extraordinarily stocky, and his height close to one meter eight in later generations also made him extremely eye-catching in the army. This is also one of the reasons why Xu Zumin asked him to be a personal guard: to bring it with him to save face.

Of course, the most important reason is that Han Yue has lived a worry-free life since he was a child, there is no lack of nutrition, and his body is naturally stronger than the children of ordinary military families, although the border army of the Ming Dynasty is hard, especially in Dongjiang Town, but Han Yue's father Han Kuan is a positive six products and thousands of generals, according to the Ming Dynasty Xun Qi, military attache Yu Lu system, Han Kuan can receive Lu rice ten stones per month, Lu rice has as many as one hundred and twenty stones per year, according to Wu Chengluo's "History of Chinese Weights and Measures" inference, one stone in the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to about 94 kilograms today, close to 190 catties of rice, If according to the late Ming Dynasty officials, most of the Yulu were exchanged for two silver taels, and the customization in the Wanli period was used to convert two stones of rice grain into one tael of silver, and the annual Yulu also reached about sixty or seventy taels, plus some other incomes, not to mention the income of one or two hundred taels of silver every year, and the young Han Kuan was also considered to have no worries about food and clothing, even if Han Kuan died in battle later, but with the bereavement pension issued by the imperial court and the love of Xu Zumin, Han Yue did not suffer much.

Of course, the current Dongjiang Town is not as good as other military towns in the Ming Dynasty, and it is not as rich as the Jingshi Jiangnan and other rich places, Dongjiang Town is an enclave in the administrative and military system of the Ming Dynasty, and the food and salary materials have been very scarce, basically relying on the transfer of Denglai waterway, which has also become a means for the imperial court to balance Dongjiang Town.

After several months of food and salary, Dongjiang Town is now short of everything, even if you have money, you can't buy rice and grain, let alone meat, so a few days ago, Xu Zumin brought five catties of mutton to Wang Erkui very surprised, you must know that now, not to mention the starvation outside, at least many military families have begun to eat chaff.

Not to mention, Wang Erkui's cooking skills are really good, and his perennial work of stealing chickens and dogs makes him familiar with these things, and Han Yue in later generations is very picky about eating, especially the smell of mutton makes him even more disliked, but Wang Erkui doesn't know how to pick up these catties of fat mutton to be delicious and abnormal, so that Han Yue, who has been in a coma for many days and has been on an empty stomach, has a good life, and with the guarantee of diet and nutrition, it is not surprising that Han Yue's body recovered quickly.

Han Yue stood outside his barracks with a wooden stick in the shape of a cane prepared by Wang Erkui and took a breath of fresh air, of course, the smell of the air outside the barracks was not much better than the smelly smell in the barracks, and the hygiene level of the Ming military camp really needed to be improved.

The twin islands are not very large, and in the past, there was only a total of 1,000 troops stationed on the island, less than 300 people, so this time the sergeants brought by the guards of the other islands were all stationed around the camp indiscriminately, and at a glance, they were all kinds of low, patched shacks, and they were chaotic and disorderly, in fact, Han Yue was able to live in this dilapidated earthen barracks because he had made a contribution and took special care of him.

The barracks are very close to the sea, although it is already dawn, but there is no exercise in the camp, a few days ago Mao Wenlong was killed, the whole camp began to be strictly controlled, not allowed to go out at will, at this time the soldiers basically slept in the shack did not get up. There was a quiet place around, and you could hear the sound of the waves crashing against the reef and the seabirds circling and hissing, but when the sea breeze blew, the whole barracks was filled with a disgusting smell of rotting and urine mixed with fishy salty seawater.

Just as Han Yue was about to turn around and return to the barracks, there was a commotion near the Chinese army camp, and then, from the dilapidated shacks on both sides of the way, a lazy and scolding soldier walked out, disturbing the hungry Qiu Ba Meimeng, and there was a sound of scolding mothers everywhere, and some of the soldiers who were woken up went directly out of the shack and picked up the worn mandarin duck battle jackets.

Suddenly, I don't know how to shout "The Inspector is coming", and then everyone was stunned, and soon there was a burst of chickens and dogs, and the soldiers who woke up looked for military uniforms, helmets, and weapons everywhere, and those who did not wake up were whipped by the squad officers of each team with whips, and scolded "Sleep with your mother, if you don't get up with Lao Tzu, you will directly stick your thirty military sticks", "If you lose your dog's life, you will sleep, get out and line up", "Oh, who is smoking Lao Tzu", "Li Dagou, you fucking are my pants"......

Seeing this messy scene, Han Yue couldn't help but shake his head, Dongjiang Town, which was known as one of the few border troops in the Ming Dynasty who dared to fight, and was regarded as a disease of scabies by the Later Jin, behaved like this, which shows how low the combat effectiveness of the border army of the Ming Dynasty has become. In fact, the elite Eight Banners in the Later Jin Tiancong period were no more than tens of thousands of people, and the Ming border army plus more than one million guards in various places, such a disparity in strength comparison, but in the field war was chased by the Later Jin cavalry, the Ming Dynasty did not die is really unreasonable.

At this time, Xu Zumin also walked over to Han Yue with a group of relatives and guards.

"Second child, what's wrong" Xu Zumin asked Han Yue a little confused, in the presence of outsiders, Xu Zumin called Han Yue the second child, because he only had one son and one daughter, in terms of age, Han Yue was just caught in the middle, as for the nickname 'Second Stunned', he would only shout at home or in private.

"Uncle Xu" Han Yue hurriedly smiled and saluted, and Wang Erkui heard the movement and came out of nowhere, supporting Han Yue on the side.

"It's supposed to be the Overseer coming this way."

Xu Zumin was stunned for a moment, then understood, his heart was overjoyed, and his face was even more happy, everyone knew that Han Yue had made a contribution this time, and Yuan Chonghuan, the public and private supervisor, would reward him well, but Yuan Chonghuan was busy dealing with pacification affairs in the past few days, and he did not receive the reward for the time being.

"Second brother, it seems that your reward is coming down, Inspector Yuan values you very much" Xu Zumin laughed and patted Han Yue's shoulder, and everyone behind him also flattered him.

"This is still thanks to Uncle Xu's nurturing and support" Han Yue responded with joy on his lips, but he didn't think so in his heart, he was just a small garrison and a worthless hereditary flag, and he was not worthy of Yuan Chonghuan's attention, if it was a life-saving grace, the military rebellion that day, in order to protect Yuan Chonghuan, there were nearly 100 soldiers killed by Mao Wenlong and his entourage, and he was just a spear for Yuan Chonghuan by chance, what kind of person is Yuan Chonghuan, the top Wenchen of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial gift of Shangfang Sword, the Ministry of War, Which title of the right deputy capital Yushi and Inspector Ji Liao is not scared to death, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty is noble and martial, not to mention that he is a small garrison guard, even if he is the chief military officer of Zhengyipin, he will kill him if he says kill in front of Yuan Chonghuan.

Han Yue guessed that the reason why Yuan Chonghuan made such a big deal was mainly to show the soldiers of Dongjiang Town, although Mao Wenlong had been killed, but now the form of Dongjiang Town is not stable, especially the lack of food and salary for several months has made the hearts of the soldiers of the forts and islands fluctuate, taking this opportunity, Yuan Chonghuan will definitely reward himself well, so that the soldiers of Dongjiang Town present know that he has clear rewards and punishments for Inspector Yuan, and treats the soldiers of Dongjiang Town equally, so as to appease the morale of the army.
