Chapter Seventy-Four: Chen Xianda (3)
laughed like this for a while, everyone slowly calmed down, and they all felt that all kinds of unsatisfactory places and all kinds of obstacles and difficulties in these days were all in vain, and their hearts were relaxed and happy, and everyone smiled sincerely. Seeing this, Chen Xianda, the www.biquge.info of the pen, praised it in his heart, it was worthy of the many years of old department he brought out, and this friendship alone was difficult to see in other battalions.
"Right now, the big guys are having a hard time, I know that." Chen Xianda accentuated his tone, he put away his smile, and there was only a sincere look on his face, "This ghost weather, it rains endlessly every day." I know that our sons and daughters are strong, not to the point of unbearable, otherwise there will be no complaints, I will say to you a word of heart-to-heart words, the current situation, is my incompetence to do thousands of households, can not protect their own sons, here, I will first make amends to the big guys! With that, he immediately stood up from his horse and bowed earnestly to the people.
The officials of the hundred households were startled and hurriedly jumped up from the maza. The two closest people took a step forward, helped Chen Xianda up, and pressed him back to Maza, Zheng Guocai gasped and said to him with a disapproving face: "Qianhu, what are you doing!" Torture the brothers! ”
Liu Zhuang on the side - also a hundred households, but he is only trying a hundred households now, and he is one level lower than his companions in the rank - also nodded non-stop, and when Zheng Guo finished speaking, he also said: "Zheng stubborn donkey said well! What does this have to do with a thousand households! I also know that this is the sour officer who is in charge of the heavy grain and straw and our commander who can't see each other right, so he should be at the head of our camp! It has nothing to do with a thousand households! ”
His words were completely torn off the curtain covering the ugliness, and hundreds of households began to talk nonsense: "Liu Laosan is not bad at half a point!" That civil servant is just because our commander is unwilling to flatter him like other eggless people, so he tramples on us subordinates! ”
"Not bad! Last time, I went to the camp to get food, and the head of the camp next to me was a white song, and it was all good and good, but our camp, a good bag of grain, mixed with a small half bag of bran! ”
"You're still good, in my team, there is a general banner who just talks and complains a few words, and the acid officer listens to it, so he says that the general flag is resentful, and he sues the commander! I couldn't help it, and in the end, I was beaten with twenty military sticks, and my ass was almost broken! ”
The more Chen Xianda listened, the more unseemly he became, his brows frowned, and he said in a deep voice: "Shut up for me!" The more you talk about it, the more unseemly it becomes! ”
He shouted violently, and the hundreds of households were immediately silenced. Chen Xianda glared at the people in front of him with hatred, "Shangguan's affairs, Shangguan takes care of it himself!" You don't have to worry about it! Taking a heavy breath, he barely suppressed the sudden palpitations and scolded: "Now we have the kung fu to scold those villains?" No! Our first priority now is to quickly exterminate the rebel seedlings we found yesterday, otherwise in a few days, not to mention the bread, you will have to swallow the weeds! ”
Seeing that the faces of the rabbit cubs under his command finally showed some nervous looks, Chen Xianda nodded with great satisfaction, he put on a straight face, pointed to the hundred household officials and scolded one by one: "One by one, they complained like girls!" Zheng Guocai! You were the one who was in charge of driving the Yiren into our pocket yesterday, right? But in the end, dozens of people ran out!? ”
Zheng Guocai's face turned white, and he slurred a little stumbling: "That's not, it's not ......."
"Because the gang under you is busy picking up the gold and silver that the people have discarded!" Chen Xianda showed no mercy to Zheng Guocai, and scolded him bloody: "In your team, everything is good, but you are too greedy for money!" I'm afraid that there are more than a dozen taels of silver in each bag? No wonder they can't catch up with the rebels! ”
Ignoring the disgraced Zheng Guocai, Chen Xianda continued to scold the officials of the hundred households one by one, what arsons looted, what was not diligent on duty at every point, what was the procrastination of military training, and the officials of the hundred households were purple-skinned, and they were almost going to burrow into the soil one by one, and he suddenly changed his words: "I just said that, not to make you think that thousands of households have my small belly chicken intestines, and I have nothing to remember every day, but it is to remind you of the meaning - the southwest place, since the beginning of the Wanli period, how many years has it been chaotic?" Now one by one, they think that the pressure of the imperial army is a stable victory - I tell you, bullshit! ”
"The little life is all my own, I don't cherish it, who do I think will cherish it? In these years, the good soldiers in their own hands are stronger than anything else! There is a strong army at hand, what kind of glory and wealth is there?! You guys! Now I can't wait to get into the eyes of money! How many hours did you walk in the two days that came out? How many hours did you plunder? It's not that I, as a Shangguan, am inconsiderate of everyone, but in fact, how much oil and water can be grabbed in this village in the wilderness!? ”
Reprimanded together, convincing the hundreds of households, Chen Xianda took the hot tea in the hands of his own soldiers, drank two sips to moisten his throat, and did not look at the officials of the hundred households, and ordered Chen Mingjiang, who was sitting at the bottom, to himself: "Mingjiang, hang up the map." ”
The young man, who had been silent, stood up silently, and neatly poured out a roll of thick mulberry paper from the cowhide tube that he had been carrying behind his back, and carefully unfolded it in front of everyone with the help of another personal soldier. Chen Xianda walked to the map in a few steps, drew a large circle somewhere above with his hand, and then clicked again, glanced around at the hundred officials, and said in a deep voice: "Where we are now should be where this is called Muxi Mountain." ”
He slapped a few times with his hand on the place name marked with the word Mu Xi, and patted the drawings hanging in the air with a "bang" sound, "There was originally a guard called Mu Xi Wei here, the mountain road is steep, we have walked for a few days and we know, it is very difficult, but unfortunately later the two thieves of luxury are powerful, the defenders here are either fleeing or killed, and now it is equivalent to half of the waste, I expect that the guy Yiren must be hiding in the guard, no wonder the camp head of Qian Jitong was not found before, but let us pick up the cheap." ”
Zhou Qian, the official of the hundred households, frowned and looked at the map, his head suddenly shook like a rattle, and said in a loud voice: "It's difficult, it's difficult!" It's hard. This road is only for one horse, and there are rocky mountains all around! Even if you want to sneak attack, there is nowhere to hide for the children, we have seen this mountain road these days, and the strange mutton here is delicious, all of them come out of the mountain road! ”
His words were approved by the officials of the hundred households. A hundred households named Lu Wei also bowed their heads and said: "Zhou Datou is not bad at all. If we crash into it in a daze, I'm afraid it's a bitter battle! Only by thinking of a way, earning the defense of the people, and killing the generals from the right path in one breath, otherwise we can shoot a hornet's nest with a bamboo bow! ”
"How many soldiers and horses do we have right now? How much grain is there? Each team reports its number. Chen Xianda pursed his lips, and it was difficult to make this decision in his heart, so he planned to touch the bottom of his house first, and raised his chin towards Zheng Guocai, "Zheng stubborn donkey, what is the current number in your camp?" ”
Zheng Guocai counted his fingers for a long time, and then said with some hesitation: "People, how many died a few days ago, and two more fell to death on the road yesterday, and now are there forty-three or forty-five?" In short, it is almost the same. Food, if you save some food, you can eat it for another four or five days, but the medicine and other things are not enough, but it's okay. Oh, the soldiers still have two pots of arrows in their hands, and some waist knives and spears, but the armor is not enough, there are too few from above, and the purple flower armor is too unnecessary, so it is better to get some serious iron armor. ”
After he finished speaking, there were other hundred households connected, and the number was similar to Zheng Guocai. The least one has only 40 soldiers in his hand, and the most has more than 60 soldiers, and no one has enough - this is also the norm, and if he does not eat the number of soldiers, how can he raise the soldiers under his command. If you really want to say it, Chen Xianda dares to say that the people and horses in his hands are clean, and there are even some people who eat only one or two percent of the empty salary, and the rest is all divided and eaten.
Chen Xianda did the math once, except for the team of people who were guarding the house, there were five or six hundred people in his hands at the moment, and they were all armor and soldiers. Although I was a little tired, I was able to take a breath and fight in a real way. He squinted his eyes, like a landlord who was picking at his own grain, and thought about it upside down, but he didn't know if this battle was cost-effective, and he didn't have a lot of money now, so he couldn't do a loss-making business.
After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Xianda still decided to go to fight again. First, the soldiers are poor, if they don't have to fight, just rely on those Lu rice who can't eat enough and starve to death, how many are willing to come to the soldiers? Second, when he came out this time, the commander's expectations of him were quite high, and he even promised that if he could make a great difference in the army, he would give three thousand silver from himself, so that he could reward his sons and daughters--plus the original silver bounty, which was not a small amount of money.
He was about to speak, but a soldier came over and said, "Report! Liu Zongqi, who was patrolling ahead, said that he had caught a group of people with strange whereabouts! ”
Chen Xianda pressed back the words that he was about to blurt out, raised his eyebrows high, and said suspiciously: "Strange whereabouts? How to Whereabouts Strange Law? ”
The soldiers obviously didn't know the details, he grinned and looked at Chen Xianda for a long time, and suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "This, Liu Zongqi said that the guy was very hard, he made people surround him, and asked the small one to report to a thousand households!" ”
"This pig brain!" Chen Xianda is angry and funny, but he is a little curious in his heart, hard? Just as he was about to order someone to arrest the master to see him, there was a sudden commotion in front of him, but in a moment, a few people walked towards them, and they couldn't see it from a distance, and when they approached, Chen Xianda almost laughed: This group of cowards obviously suffered in the hands of others, and their faces were more or less colored, but the people who walked in the middle, how could this figure become more and more familiar the more they looked at it......
