Chapter 123: The Great Reading (End)

Hou Liangzhu raised his eyebrows slightly, and the originally gentle expression on his face also converged. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The chief officer looked at the young man below, and asked without joy or anger: "Oh? Just want to stay in the Manifest Word Camp? Team Officer Li is a very good age, why is he not very motivated? ”

Li Yongzhong unequivocally hugged his fist at Hou Liangzhu, and said without humility or arrogance: "Junmen, Chen Qianhu is not only a senior official, but also the father of his wife who has not passed the door. The humble position was lost at a young age, and the father-in-law is now the only close elder to the humble position. It is natural to have a self-motivated heart and a humble position, and I want to have a bright future, but now that the battle is dangerous, and my father-in-law is getting older, I still want to stay by my father-in-law's side. Then he paused, and when he spoke again, there was a bit of pride in his voice: "If you talk about military merits, you will take it from your humble position!" ”

"Smack!" slapped the few cases in hand suddenly, and the tea bowls on it shook the ground. Hou Liangzhu laughed and said three good words in a row: "Okay, good!" He stroked his chin and beard, nodded and said with satisfaction: "If you change to someone else, you will inevitably say that Team Officer Li doesn't know how to lift, but the general likes your youthful spirit!" You don't want to leave the Xianzi camp, it is for the word filial piety, the Ming Dynasty is loyal and filial piety, you are young, but you can have this insight and mind, very good! ”

He instructed: "Pass on my general order, Li Yongzhong, the officer of the Xianzi Battalion Team, will be promoted to one level, and he will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver!" A bite of the sword! He encouraged Li Yongzhong again: "Young man, do it well!" Now that the southwest is turbulent, it is a good time for our generation of warriors to make contributions! Today, the Son of Heaven is in power, and he is simply pulling out talents everywhere, doing it well, and he can't say it, and he will be crowned a wife and a son in the future! ”

The herald passed Hou Liangzhu's words of reward everywhere, and many people looked at Li Yongzhong's eyes with jealousy and hatred, but they were afraid of Hou Liangzhu's majesty and didn't dare to say anything, so they had to watch the young man with red eyes as if dripping blood, calmly thanking him for receiving the reward, and retreating to the outside with the team.

Afterwards, some people said that the biggest winner of this reading was the inconspicuous recruit officer of the Xianzi Battalion! Who would have thought that a kid from a merchant background would actually get the blue eyes of the chief soldier! And when he actually took Joe, someone said something strange: "Ha! I really don't know how to lift, he thinks he is the reincarnation of Sun Wuzi, and Qi Shaobao is reborn?! It's just that I went **** luck, and I got a few words of praise from the military gate, and I don't know how many catties and taels I have! ”

"What kind of bullshit officer is this? It's just Chen Xianda's son-in-law, a salt dealer! Look at him like that, dry and thin, what kind of soldiers can he bring? What kind of battles can be fought? It's all showcase! Wait and see, on the battlefield, he won't shrink his eggs! ”

When he heard these words, Li Yongzhong was returning from the grain and grass officer of the Chinese army with a few soldiers of the D team. The soldiers were about to rush forward to fight with those guys who didn't have clean mouths, but Li Yongzhong stopped them sharply and shouted: "It is strictly forbidden to fight privately in the army!" Do you want to eat the board? ”

A soldier named Zhou Tong was so angry that he couldn't stop trembling, although he listened to Li Yongzhong's words and stopped rushing forward, the hands that were clenched into fists bloomed with green tendons, and big tendons appeared on his forehead. ”

"If the dog bites you, are you going to bite the dog?" Li Yongzhong first deliberately raised his voice and reprimanded him, and then faced a few strange Ming soldiers who came with ugly faces and ill intentions on the opposite side, and said coldly: "If you meet a mad dog, you can kill it with a big stick!" Why bother! ”

Then he didn't look at the gloomy Ming soldiers, and shouted at the soldiers behind him: "What are you doing here!?" Waiting for dog meat! Why don't you hurry back to camp! Those boys can all eat and drink, and if they go back late, they will have to eat some white sapoo seeds! ”

The group of people was also very knowledgeable, and they just endured it, and the person who was the leader smiled at him sadly, gritted his teeth and said with a cruel smile: "Team Officer Li has a sharp mouth!" I just don't know if I have such a good mouth! The battle array is dangerous, be careful, don't let Chen Qianhu send black-haired people in vain! ”

Li Yongzhong smiled lightly: "It's a pity that it's hard to live down, and now my father and mother have grown up to now, I still have a lot of good arms and legs, and I also remind the brother on the other side that I can eat more, and I don't dare to talk nonsense!" ”

When the group returned to the camp, as soon as Li Yongzhong had finished arranging the grain and straw, a personal soldier of the Chinese army came to invite him, saying that Chen Xianda was in the Chinese army and passed him over. Li Yongzhong raised his eyebrows, he had a faint guess in his heart, and he didn't say much, his face remained unchanged and he simply explained the rest of the affairs to Cao Jinliang, and he only took two guards to follow his own soldiers to the Chinese army.

Chen Xianda had obviously been waiting for a while, and when he saw him coming, his face was fine, he raised his chin towards Ma Zha, and said concisely: "Sit." ”

Li Yongzhong was also not polite, thanked Chen Xianda and sat down directly. It was getting late, and the tent was already lit with butter candles, casting two dark figures on the tarpaulin. Qianhu Guan turned around the tent twice with his hands behind his back, and asked coldly: "Zhongguan'er, your time in the camp is not short, but it is rare to see you interact with your brothers. Why, still not used to dealing with military men? ”

"Thousands of households......" Li Yongzhong was interrupted by Chen Xianda as soon as he spoke: "There are no outsiders here, only my Weng and my son-in-law, so don't see outsiders." He changed his words in a kind way: "Father-in-law." Seeing that Chen Xianda nodded slightly, he continued: "Team Ding has not been in the camp for a long time, and the training is still not enough, and the army is not familiar with all parts of the army, so I am afraid that I will make a mistake. Therefore, the father-in-law is right, the son-in-law does have less contact with his brothers on weekdays. ”

"Young people don't have to suffer for themselves. You must also know the truth of relaxation. It's your heart of service, don't the soldiers have to complain when they practice every day? For the sake of the above, you must also be compassionate! Chen Xianda turned around and sat down on the middle maza, and asked seemingly casually: "You think about these words." The old man knew that Zhongguan'er had a big idea, so he didn't say much. There is only one thing, you heard that you went to the grain and grass officer today? ”

Li Yongzhong nodded happily: "Yes." The camp received food every ten days, and it was already another ten days, so I brought a few men over to receive the rations. Chen Xianda glanced away, only to feel that the young man still had a calm expression, as if he really did as he said, he just went to get a trip to get food and grass, and nothing else. I couldn't help but hate it a little bit, and secretly scolded the boy with a slippery head!

Knowing that no matter how much he went around the bend with him, he couldn't get the truth out of the mouth of this slippery son-in-law, Chen Xianda didn't bother to say anything else, and asked him with a straight face: "Did you have a dispute with someone today?" ”

"Yes." Li Yongzhong did not hide it, and even his complexion did not change a little, and said lightly: "On the way back to the camp, the son-in-law ran into a few mad dogs, but he didn't bring a stick to beat the dogs, so he had to spend some words. This man is like a beast, for there is nothing to say. ”

Chen Xianda trembled and pointed at him, so angry that he almost turned his back on him! Half a day only hoarsely scolded angrily: "Arrogance! I don't know how thick the sky is! Tengdi stood up from the horse, walked two quick steps in the tent, turned around and scolded Li Yongzhong: "Where do you think this is?" Think it's that little place in Fushun?! This is in the army! There is a difference between the top and the bottom, and the distinction between the inferior and the inferior! You're reckless, you're happy, how are you going to clean it up!? Do you know who the young man is taking the lead?! Dare to talk nonsense! ”

Li Yongzhong stiffly replied: "Father-in-law! The army only looks at strength, if I don't say a word today, someone will bully my son-in-law tomorrow! The son-in-law went to the army, but not to suffer from these shitches! I don't know the name of that person today, and I have never seen him before, so he dares to insult my reputation in front of people at will! If the son-in-law shuts up and walks away, he won't have to open his mouth in the future! ”

Chen Xianda made him laugh angrily, took a few deep breaths, and forcibly suppressed the anger that overflowed his chest. He simply sat down next to Li Li Yongzhong, and said bitterly: "If it's someone else, Zhongguan'er, you can take care of it!" Your father-in-law is a bit thin. But today this person is different from others, he is Hou Junmen's nephew! A real warrior! Although he is now a general, he is quite valued by Hou Junmen! You have offended him today, and you have made a bad reputation at Hou Junmen, but you are not worth it! ”

"If I swallow my breath today, I will destroy my courage in front of the soldiers!" Li Yongzhong said quietly: "Father-in-law, could it be that Hou Junmen praised his son-in-law a few words, and his son-in-law would be able to win all battles?" Could it be that the military gate regards the son-in-law as an enemy, and the son-in-law will be defeated again and again? Definitely not! If we win, we are stronger than others; If we lose, we are weaker than others! What does it have to do with the military? Today, because the villain is the same clan of the military gate, I have to avoid the way, he meets the son of the military gate one day, does the son-in-law have to give up the military merits? ”

He stood up and politely bowed his hand to Chen Xianda: "It's not too early, there will be a curfew in a while, and the son-in-law will go back to the camp first." Today's events are troublesome to my father-in-law's memory. After Li Yongzhong finished speaking, he saluted, lifted the curtain and left without looking back. Chen Xianda watched his son-in-law's back disappear with complicated eyes, and after a long time, he scolded in a low voice: "Little rabbit cub ......"

Being provoked basically did not change the rhythm of Team D. They are still living their usual routines. However, in order to be cautious, Li Yongzhong still announced that soldiers were not allowed to travel alone, and at least three people went out of the camp at a time. Maybe it's because of the good defense, or maybe the other party doesn't plan to make a big deal about it, and the matter seems to be over peacefully.

After the big reading, Li Yongzhong was really promoted to the head of Qian, but the dispatch did not change, he was still the officer of the D team, but he was just a little more Yinlu rice. No matter what the officers of the Xianzi Battalion thought in their hearts, they all came over to congratulate Li Yongzhong with thoughtfulness and enthusiasm, and said congratulations. Li Yongzhong also took advantage of a rest day to order a table at the best restaurant in Bijie and invited his colleagues to a meal, which can be regarded as returning the favor. After this incident, sure enough, many people said that Li Yongzhong was quite knowledgeable and understanding, and even walked around more with several other teams and the D team of the Xianzi Battalion.

After July, it seemed that the situation that had been somewhat quiet overnight suddenly became tense. Grain, weapons, and armor were continuously sent to Bijie from all over the place, and the people in the granaries and warehouses were busy day and night. In the past, under the orders of the superiors, the three days and one drill became the sunrise drill, and the soldiers trembled and practiced long spears, waist knives, long cards and short shields, bows and arrows, and firearms -- three-eyed guns, swarm bees, bird guns, tiger squat cannons, and even pulled the car artillery battalion outside the city to practice a Hongyi cannon! Even if the rest of the Ming army was in the camp, they were shocked by the sound of artillery!

Li Yongzhong squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the smoke and dust, his expression was flat. Most of the others were in awe, and there were some ignorant people who had no knowledge and muttered, "This must be Grandpa Lei!" As soon as he knelt down and kowtowed, the other soldiers did not do so, but many of them also had a look of approval on their faces.

The soldiers of the D team practiced the guns almost every day, and although they were not surprised, they were still amazed at the power of the guns. The firearms they use on a daily basis are among the best in the world. Country. Heavy weapons, which are also deafening when cast in normal times, are still inferior to artillery.

"Awesome!" Many people stopped their movements and whispered to their companions: "We're not uninformed, but this is the first time we've seen each other!" I remember when I went to Chengdu Mansion in the past, I vaguely saw a few stupid black pipes placed on the head of the city, and I looked inconspicuous, but I didn't expect that when I put it up, the momentum was terrifying! ”

"What is this? I heard that the car artillery battalion in Liaodong is powerful! It's the latest Hongyi cannon! Or from the place called the Oyster and the Mirror! Very awesome! ”

When these words came out, some people were unconvinced: "No matter how powerful you are, can you be as powerful as Zhong Guan'er?" It's just that we didn't do it! In the past, didn't the officers and soldiers also shout that the armor of firearms was in the world!? Now I look at it, but it's ten guns and nine dumb! ”

Liu Xiaoqi heard that it was not the same behind him, his face sank, and he stepped forward a few steps to pull out the soldiers who were talking lively, and scolded him: "If you can't practice on weekdays, you will shout and be tired!" Now let you take a break, but one by one you are busy bragging! In my opinion, I still haven't practiced enough! You guys! Three hundred thrusts tonight! ”

Seeing that the sentry officer was really angry, the soldiers did not dare to say any more, and dispersed in a hurry, all of them honestly what they should do. The artillery is powerful but can't be seen, but Liu Xiaoqi, the sentry officer, is in charge, and if it hits him again, I'm afraid it won't be three hundred stabs that can be ended! For a while, there was no need to urge for a long time, the soldiers worked harder and harder, and in the school field, there was a sound of shouting and shouting, and the metal sound of the blades intersecting!

The third round of artillery rang out again. Li Yongzhong listened to the sound similar to that of the large-scale fireworks in later generations. When he was in Fushun, although he dared to make his own firecrackers and iron armor in private, he really didn't make a mess with artillery.

Li Yongzhong was able to find a few craftsmen who made guns privately, but he couldn't find craftsmen who made guns privately - in these years, there was often no difference between the craftsmen who cast bells and the craftsmen who cast cannons, but this kind of people were very strictly controlled by the government; On the other hand, because of the years of war on the border, the top artillery casters have long been recruited to the north to serve the war in Liaodong. Li Yongzhong listened absentmindedly to the sound of the artillery, and while thinking about whether he could carry out some new "research on military technology topics" in the future when he had a proper official status, he thought that when the time was ripe, he really had to lead the troops out of the town alone, so as not to have all kinds of elbows.

While he was thinking endlessly, Chen Xianda stood with many colleagues in the Chinese military tent of the commander-in-chief Hou Liangzhu. Although the last captured head has already been rewarded, the reward will not be able to come down for a while. Although Chen Xianda estimated that his own official should be able to be promoted to the next level, but now he could only stand at the end of the team with other thousands of households or generals, and he almost couldn't even hear Hou Liangzhu's voice.

"Since we left Sichuan and came to Bijie, it has been more than three months now!" The voice of the chief military officer Hou Liangzhu was already a little unclear when it reached Chen Xianda, "In the past few months, the sons and daughters have swept the surroundings, and now Bijie is on the front line of Dafang, all the seedlings are served, and the people live in peace, but the two thieves of luxury and peace insist on resisting the king and want to secede!" The world is not the king's land! Now Zhu Zhitai has issued an order on behalf of the heavens to patrol and hunt, and now we are going to finish our work! ”

"Now the extravagant thief claims to be the great elder of the four descendants, the pseudo-Liang King, and the thief is the pseudo-generalissimo, dividing the troops to guard Lu Guang, Yachi, and the three poor key points, and sending troops to Guiyang! Now Lin Zhaoding's general army marched from Sanshan, deputy general Wang Guozhen marched from Lu Guang, and Liu Yangkun marched from Zunyi, in the final analysis, it is to drive the two thieves from Guiyang into our net! Whether this battle can be won or not has to fall into the hands of our Sichuan soldiers! ”

"How this battle will be fought, Ben will tell you - now, I don't know! Can you win? ――Now, I don't know! Ben will only know that our Sichuan soldiers are simple and dare to fight! Fearless to death! It is said that the wolf soldiers are brave, but the general wants to say that the wolf soldiers are used to fighting with the wind, as long as we stick our feet, calm down, and the big guys use a rope to exert force, the two thieves will definitely die in our hands this time! ”

"From tomorrow, the fifth watch will make rice, and the sixth watch will practice! All battalions must do their best! From tomorrow onwards, we will be waiting for you! All battalions are forbidden to move, shouting, withholding, and laziness! If there is a violation, military law must be merciless! Listen well, be sure to cheer up the general, train the soldiers with peace of mind, be familiar with the ordnance, and practice the formation! ”

"Generals! Why are we fighting for our lives on the battlefield and licking blood from the knife edge? Ben will tell you that the upper is the court of the Son of Heaven, and the lower is the wife and shadow! From the second year of the Apocalypse to the present, the two thieves of Lu'an have ravaged the southwest for seven years! Although we are a guest army, we are also fighting this battle for the people of Sichuan! Back then, the two thieves almost captured Chengdu! Although we drove back to Guizhou like a dead dog in the end, this was also a slap in the face to our Sichuan soldier boss! Now, here's the chance for shame! If the time comes, if the Qianbing takes the lead, the general's face will be lost! One by one, you have marked the general, the two thieves of luxury, death, it is the head of the Sichuan soldiers! Alive, it was the Sichuan soldiers who were captured alive! Let's let the people of the world know that in this southwest place, only the Sichuan soldiers are first-class strong soldiers and first-class heroes! (To be continued.) )
