The mighty Yellow River, surging endlessly, the turbid river from west to east, nourishes the land of China. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

A passenger ship sailing north and south of the Yellow River is moving on the Yellow River.

There's a bizarre mix on board that is eye-catching. There were three of them, two men and one woman, one of them was gorgeously dressed and had a peerless bearing, and the two sat together, looking intimate, like a pair of fairy couples made in heaven, and the other man was burly, a mighty man dressed as a peasant, holding in his hand something similar to a weapon, cast in cast iron, wrapped in black cloth at the top, and it was impossible to tell what it was.

The nobles and the peasants were extremely incommensurate with each other, but they got along very well.

This bizarre combination is Du He, Wu Meiniang, and Xue Rengui.

After the Longmen matter was resolved, Du He immediately repaired the book himself, and asked Zhao Hui and Keelin Baker to go south to find Liu Renliang, the assassin of Suzhou, and asked Liu Renliang to find them a sea boat to get the sweet potatoes hidden on an uninhabited island. According to Zhao Hui's recollections, the uninhabited island he refers to should be one of China's Spratly Islands, even if it does not need a special sea vessel.

Regarding the matter of sweet potatoes, Duhe specially discussed it with Wu Meiniang, and the two agreed that they should not tell Li Shimin about it first.

Because it is useless to tell Li Shimin now, Zhao Hui and Kirin Baker do not store a lot of sweet potatoes on the isolated island, even if they are all used for seeding, it is estimated that there is not a single acre of field, and it is uncertain whether the planting is successful or not. It gives great hope first, and if it fails, it will be a big shame.

Rather than this, it is better to use the actual data to speak after the planting is successful, so as to achieve a complete effect. And with the most real numbers in hand, when it is promoted in the future, it can also gag the mouths of those who oppose it, and have the best of both worlds.

So Du He handed over this important task to Zhao Hui, Keelin Baker and Liu Renliang, and asked them to work together to transplant sweet potatoes in Jiangnan with all the seeds in their hands.

In this way, five people became three. Du He, Wu Meiniang, and Xue Rengui embarked on the road south to Chang'an.

Xue Rengui was an authentic peasant before this, he had never walked out of Jiangzhou for 20 years, and he rarely left Longmen County, this was the first time he went far away, and the first time he saw the vast Yellow River, and he was particularly comfortable and excited.

"The Yellow River is ten times more majestic than I imagined!" Xue Rengui stood at the bow of the boat, his heart was extraordinarily open-minded. Joining the army was an idea he had many years ago, but he had married and had children, and was the only coolie in the family, and all his livelihood came from his labor, and once he left, the family would not be able to continue. If you are an ordinary person, save for three or five years, and with a certain amount of savings, you can leave home with peace of mind, but he is born with a large amount of food, and there is only a small amount of money and things that can be saved, once his wife and children are sick, everything has to start from scratch. He could only go to the field day after day, year after year, to farm, bend his bow and hunt, and bury a heart of the army deeply.

Now Du He has advanced his military salary and left enough money to live on for his wife and children. Now he has no worries, and he can devote all his thoughts to making contributions.

The vastness of the Yellow River is just like his heart for making contributions today.

"The vastness of the Yellow River is true! But the grasslands are truly vast! Horses stepping on the Yellow River have long been in the past, conquering the grasslands and opening up foreign lands is the ambition and goal of our generation! Duhe smiled and came to his side, he was the only one in this ship who could say such bold words.

Xue Rengui felt the same and agreed: "Now that Your Majesty is Shengming, the four seas are peaceful, and there is no worry about civil strife, if you don't take the opportunity to open up the territory and take the merits of the Han Dynasty at this time, when will you wait?" ”

Passenger boats carried their rhetoric across the Yellow River. The three of them did not stay too long, crossed Tongguan, and arrived in Chang'an along the official road from Luoyang to Chang'an.

The prosperity of Chang'an made Xue Rengui look at it blindly, like a hillbilly, looking left and right, everything was strange.

Du He sent Wu Meiniang back to the mansion first, and then led Xue Rengui to Zuo Weiwei's camp.

"This is the military camp of my Tang Dynasty Zuo Weiwei, and now General Zuo Weiwei is my Tang Dynasty's first tiger general Qin Qiong, General Qin. Remember, if you meet him as General Qin in the future, if you add an old word, it will cause him to be unhappy. and General Wei Chi Jingde is the same, they are all characters who do not accept the old. If you provoke them, you will even be forced to fight him alone! ”

Du He pointed to Zuo Weiwei's camp near the imperial city and introduced it to Xue Rengui.

Xue Rengui saw that the camp was neat, the camp was overlapping, the guards stood tall like a pine, and the patrol soldiers had grim faces. ”

Du He said proudly: "I have twelve guards in Datang, I dare to say a word here, my Zuo Weiwei is one of the best." In particular, the army under my command is a real powerhouse. Let's go, take you there, our barracks! ”

bypassed the two camps and came to the three armies of Zuo Weiwei, that is, the Zuo Weiwei Army commanded by Du He.

As soon as he stepped into the barracks, the scene was in full swing.

"General Du!" When the soldiers patrolling back and forth saw Du He, their faces would show joy and fanatical respect.

Although Duhe rarely inquired about the affairs of the barracks, every decision could bring them a drastic change, and his prestige in the barracks was unmatched. Even those soldiers and horses transferred from Li Ji's command gradually surrendered to his personality charm.

Xue Rengui saw some clues and asked: "I feel a little different, the two military camps passing by are also strong teams, but compared with the adults, it seems that there is something missing." ”

"It's vibrant!" Du He smiled slightly and gave the answer: "The system in our army is a little different from the others, there is no so-called fire head army here, every one of them is a regular army, and they are all strictly selected and strong forces. ”

Xue Rengui frowned and was puzzled, the role of the ancient Huotou Army was irreplaceable. They provide food, drink, and improve the lives of the army; When the troops suffer serious casualties and encounter difficulties, they can directly participate in and engage in battle, which is a very important key existence. Du He said calmly here that there was no Huotou Army, which really surprised him, and he was silent for a while: "If there is no Huotou Army, how to deal with the meals of the whole army?" ”

Du He smiled: "You misunderstood, there is no so-called firehead army, it does not mean that there is no firehead army." It's just that there's no such thing as an army dedicated to cooking. In our army, competitions and competitions are held every two months. Between armies and between teams, dozens of competitions are held, and then the total score is estimated. The penultimate cooking, the penultimate laundry, and the third-to-last tidying up the barracks. The first place is naturally the uncle, as long as you train, you don't have to do anything. Men, they are all fleshy, laundry, cooking, sweeping the floor, nothing, but they just can't get by on the face. The first place wants to keep his seat, and the last one is even more shameful. So, the whole barracks is naturally full of vitality, even if you don't need to take care of it, the training is in full swing. ”

Xue Rengui was stunned at first, then a trace of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "My lord is so clever in governing the army, under this system, the soldiers will spare no effort to train for the sake of honor." Keep practicing, keep practicing, and finally make training a trivial matter of daily life, and in the long run, who else can match this army? ”

Du He smiled slightly, took Xue Rengui to the commander's tent in the army, and ordered the soldiers to invite the general, lieutenant general, and colonel.

Luo Tong, Fang Yiai, Xi Junmai, and Wang Dezheng, the arms of the four Du He in the army, gathered in one place in a short period of time, and Xue Rengui in the military tent all showed curiosity.

Du He clapped his hands and smiled: "Let me introduce to you, this person next to me is Xue Rengui from Longmen Xiu Village, who has officially joined our army from today, as for the position, I want to think about it...... The Flying Rider is either missing a lieutenant, or he. ”

As soon as Du He said this, Luo Tong, Fang Yiai, Xi Junmai, and Wang Dezheng all looked at Xue Rengui in surprise.

The Flying Cavalry is Du He's direct army, and Du He made great achievements in the battle with Tubo. Li Shimin changed his name to Flying Cavalry from the forbidden army to Commander Duhe.

For a long time, the flying cavalry has been under the command of Fan Yuanchen, the original deputy general of the Xuanjia Army, the head of Du He's personal army, and today he appointed a captain to the flying cavalry for no reason, which obviously has the meaning of entrusting the flying cavalry.

The Flying Cavalry is an elite army with 4,000 horsemen!

Entrusting such a force to a strong man dressed as a peasant, either Du He's head is funny, or this strong man has extraordinary abilities.

As a subordinate, the cadres were still extremely convinced of Du He's employment level, so they were all surprised, I don't know what Xue Rengui has to do, Du He is so trusted, and he can rest assured that he will entrust the flying horse.

"In Xia Luotong, Qinglian is busy with all things, and I take care of most of the trivial matters in the army, so you can come to me if you need anything in the army!" As Duhe's brother, Luo Tong also gives the greatest trust to the people he fancies.

Fang Yiai also smiled, squeezed his eyebrows and said: "Fang Yiai, it's the first time for Captain Xue to come to Beijing, I'll be the east tonight and give you the wind!" ”

Xi Junmai and Wang Dezheng also introduced themselves one after another.

Xue Rengui also knew what the position of lieutenant was, and when he saw that Du He was so important, he was so grateful, and he was secretly happy to see that his colleagues did not reject him.

Du He didn't say much, and asked Luo Tong to lead Xue Rengui to go to the army for a walk, hand over the appointment, and the others returned to their posts.

Looking at the figure of a cadre walking out, Du He said in his heart: "Xue Rengui, I can only help here, and then it's up to you!" ”

Xue Rengui, as a peasant with no merits and no achievements, rashly got the position of lieutenant, and it is impossible for people who are not convinced to exist, Luo Tong, Fang Yiai, Xi Junmai, and Wang Dezheng can accept him, but it is also for the sake of his own face. Let Luo Tong, the best battlefield, come to receive Xue Rengui, it is precisely because of the intention to let Xue Rengui take the first step to serve the public with skills.
