Chapter Eighty-Seven: Into the Sung

"Of course this house is good." Li Chun took a bite of the pickled radish and said proudly: "If it is a good year, I am afraid that it will not be possible to buy such a house for seventy or eighty taels." ”

"Ugh."

Li Chun's daughter-in-law didn't speak, only sighed faintly, and caressed the wall with her hand without making a sound.

"What are you thinking about, you stupid woman?"

In the end, it has been a husband and wife for decades, and Li Chun keenly feels the fluctuating psychological curve of his mother-in-law.

At this time, the door of the opposite courtyard also opened, Lu Jiude and his family came out of the door together with tools, this family is a husband and wife, both are very young, every day the two of them are working in the workshop, receiving double money and food, in addition to saving food at home every day, I am afraid that the food and silver saved is the most, Li Chun looked at Lu Jiude and made trouble, now the craftsmen are faintly divided into two gangs, the Lu family is mainly a blacksmith, Li Chun and his people are leather craftsmen and carpenters, originally each did their own work, but now they have to work together to make armor, each of them has different thoughts, Lu Jiude's eyes were shrewd, and his subordinates were very fast, and Li Chun was faintly jealous in his heart.

"Uncle Li, where are you still eating?"

When Lu Jiude saw Li Chun, he said hello, his expression was very casual.

"Well, eating."

Li Chun replied coldly, lowered his head and continued to drink millet porridge, Lu Jiude didn't care, and went to the workshop with the Hun family.

"This little muddy ball."

"This old dog."

The two scolded each other in their hearts, Li Chun continued to eat, and Lu Jiude, who was walking on the road, said to his wife: "We don't save all that money, let's go to the distance and go to the west village, there are many people in the village, hire some people to come and we will also powder the house." Looking at Li Chun's arrogant appearance, the doors are wide open, and I am afraid that people will not see them. ”

Lu Jiude is very strong, and his wife is the same, but Lu's wife does not agree with her husband's current opinion, and disagrees: "You haven't heard that Dongyu has been leaning on the side of Shenyang recently, and if you don't do it, you will have to fight." Lord Han held several meetings with the officers, and said that he would keep secrets. No one is allowed to talk about it, and I think there will be a war. ”

"Ugh."

Lu Jiude sighed and said: "It's not easy to meet a good official like Lord Han, we have just had a little hope, and I don't know what to do in this war." ”

"It's best to win, anyway, you don't go to the battlefield, you're in charge. Have you ever thought about what if you lose? ”

"Lose?" Lu Jiude said: "Lord Han, you haven't seen this soldier, you won't lose, right?" ”

"If our soldiers in Liaozhen are all practicing like Lord Han, how can they lose? The food is easy to practice, the military discipline is also strict, and my women and Taoists also know that they are good soldiers. Lord Han himself is also a good official, just look elsewhere, except for the Sichuan soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers, can other soldiers and horses be successful? ”

This Lu Jiude's wife is usually silent, but she is a scheming person, and now there are garrisons everywhere, so it is not unusual to see it. Lu Jiude thought of the appearance of the garrisons everywhere, and his heart was also tight.

Since Yuan Qingtai arrived in Liaodong, all battalions have been in ruins, Yuan Yingtai deliberately indulged the generals in order to invite people's hearts, and the military discipline restored in Xiong Tingbi's hands was gone, and the daily training had long been stopped, and the generals chased and laughed. Only cared about their own pleasure, no one cared about the battalion soldiers at all, and wandered around Shenyang and Liaoyang without incident, causing trouble all day long.

Wang Datun is here thanks to Han Xu's garrison, his military discipline is still very strict, and it is usually managed in a closed manner, and there are few fakes. Only family leave is very short, and it must be for those who have families in Liaoyang and Shenyang...... There are few such people in the first place, so there are even fewer people who can go out of the camp.

"In charge," said Lu's wife, "we can't be dead." Gotta think about it early. ”

The same words, almost at the same time, were also instilled in Li Chun's ears.

"Hmm." Li Chunyin blushed and bit the radish strips vigorously, and the good mood when he got up in the morning was almost wiped out.

……

Han Xu rode on a horse wearing a cotton placket armor, there was no difference between the spring breeze in early spring and the cold wind in the harsh winter, it was still cold and biting, the cotton armor inlaid with iron leaves was heavy and thick, and the shoulders would be sore after wearing it for a long time, and the waist was also very difficult, this armor only used a total of ten catties of iron leaves, but it weighed nearly forty catties on the body, which was still the top grade in cotton armor...... It's not that Han Xu can't wear good armor, he is just used to wearing this one, and the opportunity to charge in the first row of the cavalry after becoming the governor is almost gone, Han Xu consciously gave up the good iron armor to his subordinates, as for the armor, it is not a necessary homework for every military attachΓ©, it is just Han Xu's personal habit.

The garrison soldiers in the outer city of Shenyang recognized Han Xu, so they stopped the passing crowd from a distance, cleared the road, and bowed to him when Han Xu passed by.

Han Xu returned the salute with a smile on the horse, and did not stay long, he glanced back, and the black and gray ground was densely packed with city defense buildings, and there was a sense of solemnity and majesty in his heart.

The outer city of Shenyang is very well guarded, and there are countless trenches several miles away, with sharp wood at the bottom of the ditch, covered with straw, then a wooden fence, behind which is a horse barrage, and then there is a gun emplacement, where there are artillery cannons such as general cannons and franc machines. Then there was the trench, then the wooden fence and the gun emplacement, looking back from Han Xu's angle, the entire land seemed to be connected, and all the city defense projects were like a monster crouching on the ground, waiting to choose someone to devour.

"It's just that the garrison is too loose."

After riding a horse into the city and climbing to the top of the city, Han Xu let out such a heartfelt emotion.

There were no soldiers stationed in the four fields, and there were no drills and familiarity with the fortifications, and there were no gunners in the gun emplacements, only sheds were built on the cannons in case of unexpected rain, and children and women wandered around in twos and threes...... Although it is early spring, there are wild vegetables such as shepherd's cabbage, for ordinary people in the spring famine, wild vegetables are mixed with miscellaneous grains to save their lives, even if these wild vegetables have just emerged a little, they are also picked out by these people who go out of the city to find them.

A girl in a light red jacket squatted under the corner of the city, shoveling wild vegetables with a small wooden shovel, and there must be her mother or grandmother and grandfather in the scattered crowd around her, the old people and women were faster, and the children were more like going out of the city for spring outings and frolicking, only this five or six-year-old girl picked very carefully and seriously.

As if feeling Han Xu's gaze, the little girl raised her head and looked around, and finally raised her head, her fair little face was dazed at first, and then when she saw Han Xu, Han Xu smiled at her, but the little girl was frightened, like a little rabbit, and quickly fled.

"Heh......"

Han Xu smiled bitterly, the military discipline of the garrison is definitely not good, bullying men and women is inevitable, his army is stationed in Wang Datun, and there are still civilian households and military tuns more than ten miles to the west, of course the people there are not afraid of them, but they are vigilant against the guest army and the rest of the soldiers and horses in Liaozhen.

All Han Xu can do now is to be himself, and that's all. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation, please search, the novel is better and faster!
