Chapter 136: Exposure to the Soldiers
The eldest princess Wu Liangha and Gui Yingcha left the naturalization city with the caravan, and they were safe and sound along the way, the robbers were wiped out by Zhang Chu, and the other thieves saw that this lineup was strong, and there were many guards in the caravan consciously far away, and the power on the grassland was the truth, and no one wanted to die unexplained and fed the wolves on the grassland.
Gui Yingcha has been very happy these days, walking with beautiful women, there are more opportunities to be courteous, and he is trying his best to please the eldest princess after running.
The eldest princess didn't have the heart to deal with him at all, and the inheritance of the golden family and the exposure to Lin Dan Khan made the eldest princess more politically sensitive than ordinary people.
The current situation of the Mongolian Chahar tribe worries her, and the affairs of men and women are not on his agenda. She was concentrating on how to learn more about Zhang Chu and the security army. We must find out if Zhang Chu's strength is strong enough, and what methods can be used to bring Zhang Chu over and fight against Houjin with the Great Khan. It is very difficult to achieve this goal, and Houjin has now shown great strength, and even the Ming soldiers have been robbed by Houjin. Zhang Chu's forces are in northern Shaanxi, and there is no conflict with the Houjin, so how to make them fight is a difficult problem.
If you don't want to do it, you can't do it, now Houjin is chasing after the Chahar Ministry, and has joined other Mongolian tribes to attack together, the Chahar Ministry, can't even give up the Naturalization City, and then run to the west will really lose the face of the ancestors.
The guards who were exploring the way in front came back and reported that they were approaching Fugu City, and the people in the caravan were happy that they were finally about to reach their destination.
Celestia and Guiyingcha urged their horses to the front of the caravan. You can already see the city wall of Fugu County in the distance.
As a thousand households in the army, Gui Yingcha is still very concerned about the city wall, he carefully observed the structure of the Fugu city wall, but after seeing it, he felt very confused, he has seen a lot of the city wall of the Han people, and has done special research. When he saw a wall, he figured out where to attack, how to defend it, and what loopholes there were in the city.
The city wall of this Fugu is completely outside the scope of his cognition, the city wall is not boxy, but has many sharp corners, and the city wall is divided into several layers of different heights, in Gui Yingcha's opinion, this construction has increased a lot of work out of thin air, and the role of defense has weakened. It seems that Zhang Chu is still a person who does not learn and does not know how to do it after all, and there are no masters under him.
A little further on, there was a checkpoint far from the city gates, and all the people stopped for inspection.
It takes a little more time for Guiyingcha and their caravan to be more crowded, and Guiyingcha waits while observing the surrounding situation.
There was a military camp not far from the checkpoint, and the rows of houses were very neat, and in front of the house was a huge empty field, where many soldiers were training.
Seeing that Guiying in the barracks was interested, he approached the barracks by the sentry post inattention, and kept carefully observing, the soldiers in the barracks were training, and the slogans were heard far away, mixed with the sound of scolding, it should be the officer who was scolding the junior non-commissioned officers.
According to the prestige, it turned out that some soldiers were practicing horseback riding, and the soldiers may be recruits, and they could not sit steadily on the horses, and their whole body was tense, so that the horses could not run, and a man who looked like an officer kept shouting and scolding. Gui Yingcha thought: "If I train such stupid soldiers, I will have to scold them, and maybe I will go over and kick them a few times." ”
A businessman who came with him walked up to Gui Yingcha and said with a smile: "The general is interested in these military affairs, the security army trains here every day, and there is nothing new, just practicing horse riding or something, the Han people's riding skills are indeed not very good, and after practicing for a long time, it is not as good as Mongolian children riding horses." “
Gui Ying had already seen that the riding skills of the security army trained here were indeed very poor, and there were a few good ones, which should be recruited by the Mongols.
The Mongols are the eagles of the steppe, they should rule the entire steppe, and no one can compare with the skill of riding horses and galloping, but the current situation is indeed not optimistic. The security forces are really not trained like this, and there is really no level. But the security forces I saw last time were really tough, so how did they train them? With the question in his heart, he asked the merchant, "There is no special training method for the security forces?" “
The smile on the merchant's face became even thicker, and he said, "There is a special training method." And it's really special, that way the people have given it the name 'Sun Soldier'. "Soldier?" Gui Yingcha was even more confused, what kind of training method is this?
The merchant was also interested and continued to explain: "It is said that Zhang Chu, the marshal of the security army, is a very good and clean person, and the first thing he does every time he recruits recruits is to bathe the recruits, and the old clothes must be burned, and everyone puts on new clothes. This is not the end, these soldiers have to be driven out into the sun every day, and the drying time is constantly increasing, sometimes for an hour, and they are not allowed to move when they are drying. So saying, the merchant pointed to the barracks with his hand and said, "Look, general, the soldiers are drying in the sun." ”
Gui Ying'a looked at the merchant's hand, and sure enough, he saw rows of soldiers standing there still. He also saw those soldiers just now, but he thought they were assembling, and only now did he realize that those soldiers had not left there for a long time, and they had not trained, standing motionless under the sun, really basking in the sun. This is the training method of the sect. Guiying couldn't help but despise Zhang Chu even more. I really don't know how such an uneducated person can occupy a large area of northern Shaanxi, repair the city in a strange shape, what is the use of washing the soldiers so clean, and basking in the sun, standing still like that, waiting for death on the battlefield.
He lost interest in looking any further, and returned to the checkpoint to wait for the card. Watching the sentries check one by one and not let anyone go, Gui Ying couldn't help but regret a little, when he came, if he asked the Great Khan for a holy decree, he came to the door to find Zhang Chu openly, and Zhang Chu didn't go to the city to greet him early. Save yourself the anger of the creeps here.
He didn't have to think about it, there were people who were more grumpy than him couldn't bear it anymore. There was a loud shout from the sentry, and it was still a woman.
Gui Yingcha looked over and thought badly, the one who shouted turned out to be the female guards led by the eldest princess Wu Liangha, they were stopped in front of the checkpoint, and the leader of the guards was loudly distinguishing: "Bringing knives is the habit of our Mongolians, why do you confiscate our swords!" ”
The merchant who came with Gui Yingcha ran to his side and said hurriedly: "General, go and persuade me, it is the rule here that weapons are not allowed to be brought into the city, and it is very troublesome to violate the rules." ”
The security forces stipulated that swords and other weapons were not allowed to be brought into Fugu Castle, and they were stored at the checkpoint and collected when they left.
The four female guards brought by the eldest princess were arrogant on weekdays, and they were also worried about the safety of the princess, so they insisted on bringing weapons into the city without listening to the advice of the sentry, so they almost didn't carry out the eldest princess to oppress people.
Gui Yingcha was shocked: "Aunts and grandmothers, this is not a grassland, it is the territory of the security army, we are not in a hurry to hide, why did you jump out by yourself." Gui Yingcha hurriedly ran over to find the eldest princess.
At this time, the sentry reacted, he did not argue with the female guard, took out a copper whistle in his mouth and blew it vigorously, a sharp whistle sounded, and more than a dozen security soldiers immediately ran out of the guard room. The soldiers, apparently trained, rushed out and immediately stood in three rows, three with shields in front of the female guards in the first row, the second with sticks ready to attack, and two in the back with muskets raised.
A leader-like man stood at the back of the line and shouted: "Listen to those in front, one last warning, immediately lay down your arms, or you will bear the consequences." (To be continued.) )
