"Why are there so many ships, Zhennanhou won't bring all the 50,000 Chu troops, right?"

"Maybe it's really possible, come with a large army, isn't this just the right place to eat, and his military rations can be saved."

Several officials who had come with Shi Kefa to greet them stood on the dock, looking at the huge fleet, and they all exchanged their heads.

Shi Kefa stood at the front, looking at the huge fleet, and his heart was also full of worry. The Marquis of Zhennan brought so many soldiers and horses, it would be even more difficult to control. In case these Chu troops want to make trouble, they really can't control it.

At this time, the fleet had already docked, and the bridge planks were put on the dock, and then the Chu army came down from the ship one after another.

Although it was still far away, what shocked Shi Kefa was that those Chu troops rushed out of the boat, and then quickly lined up on the dock, and when the line was full, they walked forward, leaving room behind, and then several queues gathered a larger square on the side.

There were more than 100 people in this phalanx, they lined up, and there were officers shouting slogans in front, vaguely hearing what was 121 and immediately counting some, and then hearing those soldiers in rows and starting to count, each time from the beginning. They counted loudly, but when they had finished counting, they were extremely silent, and they stood there like javelins.

After all the soldiers in one boat had dismounted, the second boat docked.

Groups of soldiers landed ashore, and phalanxes were formed. In front of each phalanx stood a flag, behind which were one neat soldier after another.

"Are these the family members of Zhennanhou? You see it's so neat. ”

The other also exclaimed, "The rest is neat, you see them get off the boat, not in the slightest, neat and orderly, especially after they come ashore." From the formation to the formation, and finally on standby, there is no one who talks nonsense at all. Standing there, like a sculpture, no head to ear, no scratching the itch. They just stood there like that. ”

"Yes, it must be the family of Zhennanhou, look at their equipment. All eight-petal bright helmets, the same foam nail cotton armor, and the officers also have arm armor. A word full of envy and amazement.

At this time, another official shook his head, "Too much." ”

"What's too much?"

"You see, there have been several boats, and there are more than a thousand people standing on the dock, and they are still getting off. But you see, the soldiers on the shore are all the same equipment, and they are generally neat. ”

After he said this, everyone found out that this was indeed the case. After such a skill, thousands of Chu soldiers had already landed from the ship, but so many soldiers lined up in a phalanx were so quiet that they didn't even notice.

"Zhennanhou actually has thousands of elite families!" One official was shocked. Those Chu soldiers who went ashore were spirited. Definitely the most elite of the housekeepers. But Jiading is the most difficult to train, and there will not be many generals per general. A thousand elite housekeepers. What a shock. How did Zhennanhou practice it, and where did he get so much money and food to train so many families?

Soon, the officials who greeted them on the shore fell silent.

The ship is still docking, and the Chu soldiers are also landing.

Ship after ship, at least more than 5,000 Chu soldiers have landed. And in fact, the number of Chu soldiers is easy to calculate. They were lined up in a very neat phalanx, one phalanx of about a thousand people, and now there were six phalanxes on the shore.

Six thousand people, that's six thousand.

But these 6,000 people came out of a mold. The same eight-petal Ming iron helmet, the same cotton armor inlaid with copper bubble nails, and even their equipment is basically the same, firearms, hook guns, boring palladium, waist knives, rattan cards, square cards, bow knives

"It can't be!"

An official's mouth was open for a long time and he forgot to take it back, and then he finally couldn't help but shout loudly, "How is this possible?" Could it be that there are 6,000 families in Zhennanhou? ”

6,000 families, this is something unimaginable, who has so much money and food to support so many families.

"Maybe these are just ordinary Chu troops."

One officer uttered something he didn't believe himself.

Ordinary Chu army? With such equipment and such spirit, no matter how you look at it, it can't be an ordinary Chu army. If the ordinary sergeants of the Chu army have this kind of momentum, what is the family like?

Shi Kefa stood there at this time and listened to the discussions of his subordinates in surprise, looking at the neat and solemn phalanx in front of him, his heart was also overturning, he was suffering from a huge storm, and everything in front of him subverted his cognition.

The Chu soldiers continued to land, and soon, ten thousand people had been set up near the dock.

10,000 people, 10,000 Chu soldiers, 10,000 neatly equipped, solemn Chu army. At this time, all the welcoming officials understood that these soldiers were not the family members of the Marquis of Zhennan, and these soldiers were really just ordinary soldiers of the Chu army.

Oh my God, how did Zhennanhou do it?

After more than 20,000 soldiers and horses landed, bags of grain were transported down from the ships that docked.

"Zhennanhou also brought his own grain and grass!" An official finally said another word, they didn't want to say anything more to the 20,000 Chu soldiers, more than 20,000 shocked Chu soldiers who couldn't be commented.

"yes, yes." The other replied absentmindedly.

But soon they were shocked again.

There were still many ships on the river, and the ships behind them were no longer ashore, and each boat was filled with large bags of grain and boxes of ordnance.

The grain that was removed from the ship was soon piled up on the docks.

"Zhennanhou brought a lot of food."

"yes."

When the two officials spoke, they were already in a messy state.

At least 100 catties of grain bags, how many are piled up on the dock? Ten thousand or twenty thousand?

Shi Kefa was also speechless in shock, he had just moved at least tens of thousands of stones of grain from the ship, and he was still moving. The Marquis of Zhennan brought his own military rations, and he brought more than 10,000 stone of grain, could it be that the Hou Ye brought one stone of grain to each of his 20,000 soldiers and horses?

One person and one stone, that is not equivalent to a month's ration?

Sending troops to fight, visiting troops to fight, and bringing a month's rations with the army?

Shi Kefa felt that everything in front of him completely subverted his original perception of Liu Jun, the excellent equipment of the 20,000 Chu army, the majestic momentum, the strict military discipline, and even now he brought his own military rations for a month.

However, the ship continued to unload. What is unloaded this time?

Then came coal, and black bean forage for the mules and horses.

Thousands of horses and thousands of mules were the last to disembark from the ship.

"Chu Jun is so generous!"

"That's magnanimous!"

"Zhennan Hou is atmospheric!"

The Jiangbei officials who came to greet them really served the Marquis of Zhennan, led troops to help suppress, and the guest army fought, and actually prepared their own grain and grass for a month, and even prepared so many mules and horses. Vehicles, which are neither intended to collect grain and grass in the locality, nor are they intended to recruit local people to transport baggage.

Zhennanhou not only trained an elite army of 20,000 people, but also equipped with extremely sophisticated ordnance, and now he still carries self-sufficient grain and grass, and even carries his own vehicles and mules and horses for transporting baggage.

"This is the nine-headed bird, it's majestic!"

"I heard that Master Hou's nine-headed bird has only been practicing for half a year!"

The Jiangbei officials all took a sip in unison, "Nonsense, who is talking nonsense." Half a year, half a year can train such soldiers and horses, train 20 200 I believe that who can train 2,000, not to mention that this is still 20,000. ”

They all thought in unison, how could this nine-headed bird have only practiced for half a year, it must have been practiced a long time ago. Someone thought at this time, it is said that Chongzhen was at the beginning. Inspector Mei and Governor Li were framed by the traitor Wen Tiren and returned, and then Inspector Mei began to train village soldiers in Qihuang.

Well. Calculating the time, it has been ten years since Inspector Mei returned to his hometown, and it is indeed possible to train an elite team in ten years. I heard that Liu Jun is still a student of Mei Du and Li Du, so it makes some sense. This Chu army must have been trained for many years, but it used to be organized and trained in the name of township soldiers. It was not until this year that they were reactivated as emperors that these village soldiers were officially changed to official troops.

It must be so.

The last boat docked, and a group of officers and generals wearing armor and official robes disembarked from the boat.

Shi Kefa hurriedly stepped forward with his subordinate officials.

"Shi Kefa greets the late, confess!"

Zhu Dadian came out of the crowd at this time and strode in front of Shi Kefa. Haha laughed, "It's really an honor for Master Shi to come to greet him in person." Old man, we meet again. ”

He was Shi Kefa's predecessor, and Shi Kefa was still his subordinate at that time.

"Your Excellency is in good spirits, the journey is still smooth, and please introduce you to the guests who came from afar."

Liu Jun was wearing the golden armor given by the emperor, and he was wearing a scarlet cloak sewn by the queen herself, and he showed the belt made by Yuan Guifei herself. strode forward and arched his hand, "Liu Jun, the chief soldier of Hubei, has seen Futai." ”

Shi Kefa noticed Liu Jun just now, Liu Jun's momentum standing there, especially the armor cloak he was wearing, and even the dragon pattern. He felt that this was Liu Jun, but he felt that this armor was too noble, and it was a little inconsistent with Liu Jun's identity, but it looked like the costume of a certain prince's clan, and Liu Jun's appearance was too old.

Now that Liu Jun reported to his home, Shi Kefa was surprised.

Wang Kun looked at Shi Kefa's armor that had been staring at Liu Jun's body, and stepped forward with a smile, "The gold armor worn by the Hou Ye was originally the imperial armor worn by His Majesty, and the cloak material was a tribute from the Fan Kingdom, which was sewn and given to His Majesty by Queen Zhou herself, and the belt was made by Yuan Guifei for the emperor, and the boots were made by Concubine Tian for Your Majesty." The emperor felt that the Hou Ye was highly meritorious and loyal, so he specially gave these to the Hou Ye, and specially let the Hou Ye wear them when he went out on the expedition. ”

"I see!" Shi Kefa exclaimed.

Wang Kun continued with a smile: "Our family is Wang Kun, the director of Hubei, and I have met Shi Junmen. ”

Shi Kefa didn't seem to like the eunuch, especially after hearing that he was the prison sent by the emperor, his attitude became a little colder, but he snorted in his nose and said hello, and then turned his head directly to face Liu Jun, but his face was immediately replaced with a friendly smile, "Shi Mou has long admired the name of Admiral Liu, a young hero, Sichuan captured Zhang Xianzhong and defeated Luo Rucai. This time, the commander has to mention 20,000 tigers in person, and he will definitely win and succeed! (To be continued......)
