Chapter 61: In the City
"The old man called you, of course he didn't mean these ......"
Xiong Tingbi is actually not a wild spray when he sees people, Han Xu is now faintly regarded as an important chess piece arranged by him in Liaozhen, he is his head horse in the army, his henchman, and deep down he likes the motivated and ambitious young officer in front of him. ∏∈ ∏∈ the top ∏∈ ∏∈ said,
After talking for a long time, Xiong Tingbi finally came to his senses, his expression was also a little embarrassed, he pointed to the seat in front of him, first asked Han Xu to sit down, and then said: "The Ministry of War has returned to Liaoyang a year ago, and the old man originally wanted to ensure that you go straight to the guerrillas, but now you have enough combat achievements, and your qualifications are still insufficient...... Those bastards, how did they know how the soldiers were led? Fortunately, you were promoted to the commander of the training department, and the commander of the Liao Zhongwei was added, so you are also a third-grade martial artist, and within this year, the old man will ensure that you go to the guerrilla again and lead a battalion alone! ”
Han Xu stood up and wanted to kneel and thank him, Xiong Tingbi glanced at him and said: "Han Xu, don't come to this set, you are respectful on the surface and rebellious in your heart, the old man doesn't want you to kneel and thank you, so you don't have to scold your mother in your heart." ”
Han Xu couldn't help but laugh and said: "After cultivating with one hand, it's too late for the lower officials to be grateful, how can this be." ”
"Don't talk about it." Xiong Tingbi said unreasonably: "You sit down, become the training supervisor, this scripture will order the opening of the arsenal to supplement you, the last time you got the Baya Lajia, iron scale armor, cotton armor, are all left for you to use, you talk to the old man, how do you plan to practice the art of war?" ”
Not to mention, Han Xude's iron armor is a rare thing, just like the Baya Lajia, silver shining, very strong, all made of the best raw materials and craftsmen, Houjin's Bayala is less than 3,000 people, all of them are elite in a hundred battles, and the armor is also solid and gorgeous, even the generals here in Liaozhen do not have a few such good armor, those iron armor is also worth about 100 taels, and the cotton iron armor is also worth 350 taels, Han Xu This is really a good official in the court, not only these seizures are all given to him, There is also an extra batch of them from the arsenal, if other generals are here, hearing about this, they must be breathing fire in their eyes.
Han Xu told Xiong Tingbi the truth and told all his plans.
Hearing that Han Xu didn't plan to train more soldiers and horses, Xiong Tingbi also felt a little surprised.
There are dozens of battalions in Liaozhen, large and small, except for the generals like the ancestors, most of the generals of each battalion do their own thing, and they are trustworthy, Xiong Tingbi is planning to ask Han Xu to train soldiers and horses first, in his opinion, Han Xu is very good at training soldiers, and if he trains more soldiers and horses, he will have strength, and his qualifications will be enough for a while.
However, Han Xu thought differently from him, Xiong Tingbi was unhappy in his heart, and kept a straight face.
Han Xu didn't have the idea of backing down, and stood silently with his head bowed.
After a long time, Xiong Tingbi Fang said lightly: "It's all about the old man's temper being stinky and hard, Han Xu, you are not much better." Forget it, it's up to you. ”
Han Xu knelt down and thanked: "Thank you, my lord, Han Xu is grateful in his heart." ”
"Get out!" Xiong Tingbi paused, and there was still a smile on his face.
……
When Han Xu came out of Xiong Tingbi's residence, he also felt relieved.
His overall plan is to seize the time and train a team of 300 elite horsemen within half a year. In this year, training infantry is definitely looking for death, and under the general trend, personal efforts are useless, and opportunities are thrown away in vain. Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, he is not smart to act like this, and I have not heard of any general who does not expand his battalion, increase his strength and discourse, and then eat empty quotas to support his family, but acts in reverse. But Han Xu made up his mind in his heart, and he could finally get Xiong Tingbi's support and approval, and he felt relieved in his heart.
Out of the mansion, it is inevitable to get the big members in the city and then go to the New Year's greetings, from the patrol of the imperial history Zhang Quan to the household department of the governor Lang Zhong Fu Guo, the civil officials in power have gone, the civil officials have their own identity, refuse to see him, Han Xu put down the worship post and silver can leave, and some see him, say two sentences can leave, these officials also first go to Xiong Tingbi to pay New Year's greetings, and then go back to their own homes to wait for others, on the first day of the new year, the entire Liaoyang officialdom is like this, this is still Liaoyang, if it is the Beijing Division, it will be even more amazing, Officials who go out in the middle of the night abound.
After Han Xu walked around from the front of the generals, most of the hundreds of taels of silver he carried had been used, he was now a popular person, and he was at odds with many people in Liaozhen, but he had to take care of his face, and he ran down for most of the day, and he was already tired and half dead, which was more tiring than practicing in the school field for a day.
On this day, Han Xu lived in Liaoyang, this residence was decided a year ago, otherwise there was no place to live, Yan Song and the He brothers still followed him, these people had nowhere to go, in previous years, they all took the silver to the casino, gambled and went back to the camp to sleep, if they won, they will eat nonsense, and then go to the inferior brothel to prostitute the bitch, in short, the play of Hu Tianxiao is not cared for, this year with Han Xu, Han Xu taught these people to read and read military books in the evening, told them some historical things, and then taught to draw maps, Soon after the lamp, the three of them were sleepy and wanted to die, after class, the three of them fell asleep on the bed, and after a while, they snored loudly, and they rushed to Dongzhou on a snowy night that day, and they did not see He Qingyun and others so tired.
……
At noon the next day, Gao Xiaosan rushed over, he had already inquired about Dr. Jiang's residence in Liaoyang, and came to lead Han Xu forward.
They changed into civilian clothes, and they did not ride horses, but walked in the city.
Liaoyang City is the largest city in eastern Liaoning, and it is also the commercial center of Liaozhong and radiating southern Liaoning.
Most of the pedestrians on the road walk calmly, and these days are the most relaxed throughout the year, and few people will walk in a hurry. After noon, more and more people went to the temples to catch the temple fair, and the streets were bustling with people, and everyone's faces were filled with relaxed and happy smiles.
Being in such a crowd, Han Xu's mood is also very relaxed, besides, the future events have been decided, and no one will trouble him in the short term, the silver taels he still has on hand are enough to last until the great changes in Shenyang, and he has also become a third-grade martial arts official of the Ming Dynasty from a passer, which is not a small miracle.
The Jiang family lives in the east of the city, and the official road of the city gate here leads directly to the four guards in southern Liaoning, which is far away from the central area of the city.
In addition to the excitement, Han Xu also saw that there were a lot of homeless beggars in the city, from time to time someone pushed the corpse out of the city with a cart to burn and bury, there were blocked ditches and culverts everywhere, there was a lot of garbage, and the corners of the city were very dirty everywhere, in fact, the Ming Dynasty had special institutions for sheltering homeless people and raising orphans and the elderly, but that was the beginning of the dynasty, at the end of the dynasty, I heard that Beijing was dirty, not to mention Liaoyang, where people's hearts collapsed and the people were full of displaced people earlier.
