Chapter 116: Tang Xiucai's Career in the Army
Lu Bo and the Tang family father and son hit it off, first of all, Tang Shen ordered the conscription in the name of the inspection of Yantietang, two hundred miles of Yantietang, each lane arranged four soldiers, a total of 800 people, plus more than 1,200 people in Lu Bo's hands, just formed a team of 2,000 people.
The missing weapons were temporarily replaced with bamboo, and in addition to hundreds of wolf stalks, there were also a large number of bamboo spears, sharpened and fried, and ordinary swords were constantly chopped. Even if it can be cut and it is a stubble, it can still kill people.
Lu Bo personally designed the six wolf tactics: the middle flat potential, the dragon riding potential, the hook opening potential, the upper potential, the lower potential of the gate, the reluctance to retreat, and the selection of strong soldiers to practice.
Later generations may not have imagined that the first strong army of the Ming Dynasty, which had no rivals in the world, would start in a bleak way that almost cut wood as a soldier.
However, although the equipment is simple, the morale of the big guys is high and full of energy. In addition to being personally trained by Lu Bo, a fierce general, Tang Yi has an even more amazing status in their hearts, not only as a life-saver, but also as a life-saver, but also leading them to a prosperous life.
A salt and iron pond has turned the people struggling on the food and clothing line into a well-off home. or working at the dock, or opening a small shop, the income is several times higher than farming, and the earth-shaking changes are seen in everyone's eyes. To put it bluntly, Tang Yi's status is comparable to a god in their hearts, let alone let them train hard, even if they are allowed to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, not many people will frown.
Everyone was enthusiastic, and Tang Yi was both relieved and worried, after all, the equipment was still too thin. After thinking about it, Tang Yi found Chen Menghe.
"My lord, I am late in life, you must help!"
Chen Menghe was in a good mood, pulled Tang Yi to sit opposite him, and said with a smile: "Xingzhixian nephew, you came just in time, the prime minister just sent me a letter, and he wants to transfer me back to Beijing as an official." ”
Sure enough, Chen Menghe was about to be promoted, and Tang Yi said with a smile: "I have to congratulate the adults in advance when I am late." ”
"Congratulations, the capital is a fire pit, eating people without spitting out bones." Chen Menghe sighed with a slanted face: "In all fairness, I am still willing to stay in the place, guard the people, and have the final say, when I get to the capital, there are mothers-in-law everywhere, it's difficult!" ”
Looking at Chen Menghe's virtue, Tang Yi only wanted to give him two words: pretending to be garlic!
It is true that it is difficult to mix things up in the capital, but he is a Hanlin who has been trained in the local area, and some people appreciate it, and when he returns to Beijing, he has entered the fast lane of promotion. Not surprisingly, in about ten years, he will be able to blend into the ministry level. With his toes, he could imagine how proud Chen Menghe should be after receiving Xu Jie's letter.
Tang Yi will not expose him, on the contrary, he will say something nice, "The adults are honest and self-controlled, and their political achievements are outstanding, and after entering Beijing, they will also be highly used, and they will have to rely on the support of adults in the future." ”
"Huh." Chen Menghe said with a smile: "Speaking of which, most of the official's political achievements are in the virtuous nephew, but the traitor party dictatorship in the DPRK and China, and the official has no bottom in his heart." ”
Hey, he hasn't been promoted yet, he has been discounted first, and Tang Yi has also seen through it, this Lord Chen is not a person who can take care of each other.
Fortunately, Chen Menghe has a good memory, and he smiled: "The virtuous nephew seems to have something to do with me?" ”
"My lord, General Lu Bo is training his troops, and you also know that they are all selected refugee children, but they lack weapons, so I have to beg you to come."
Chen Menghe groaned slightly, leaned over and said: "Xingzhixian nephew, you are a disciple of Mr. Jing Chuan, a figure destined to win the Toad Palace, why always mess with some rude martial artists, it will damage your reputation!" ”
Tang Yi blinked, pretending to be embarrassed, "My lord, I also made some efforts for the late life of refugees, as the saying goes, help people to the end, and send Buddha to the west." Late life can never look at them with bare hands, and besides, the Japanese have come to Taicang once, it is difficult to guarantee that there is no second time, there is a strong army stationed in order to protect the homeland, and it can be regarded as a late life for the father. ”
Chen Menghe looked down on the martial artists, but he understood the other meaning of Tang Yi's words, if the Japanese invaders came again, his dream of being promoted would turn into a nightmare.
"In that case, I'll ask Zhou Xun to take stock of the county treasury, and after three days, you will go and move the weapons, just take what you have!"
"Thank you, sir."
Tang Yi chatted with Chen Menghe for a few more words, then turned around and said goodbye and went home.
As soon as I walked into the house, I happened to see under the grape trellis, Aunt Zhu was holding a pu fan and laughing, leaning forward and closing back. Seeing Tang Yi, he hurriedly shut up, but he couldn't help laughing, and he couldn't hold back his pitiful appearance of internal injuries and vomiting blood.
"Aunt Zhu, what's the good thing, didn't you pick up the dog's head gold?"
"The little minister is back, is it...... You should go to the garden and find out. ”
What's the matter?
Tang Yi was confused, walked quickly to the garden, and saw a shiny humanoid object from a distance, moving step by step with difficulty, the speed was about the same as a turtle crawling.
"Where is the demon?"
Tang Yi shouted, and the other party hurriedly turned around, but he didn't want to slip under his feet, so he fell to the ground.
"Oh, come and help me up!"
It's Daddy!
Tang Yi was startled, hurriedly ran over, stretched out his hand to help, who knew that the armor on Tang Xiucai's body was too heavy, Tang Yi couldn't help him up at all, the two of them were so anxious that they were sweating, so they had to take off their helmets first, and then lay down the armor on their bodies, what made people vomit blood was that this armor was even covered with legs, and when they were all taken off, Tang Xiucai foamed at the mouth.
Fortunately, Aunt Zhu sent a big bowl of honey water and poured it into her father, and Tang Xiu came back to life.
Tang Yi was angry and funny: "Dad, what are you doing, where did you get this armor, it looks like it's been around for years." Tang Xiucai gasped, sat on the stone pier, and said angrily: "It's not from the Wang family, I heard that it's called Burenjia, it was handed down from the Song Dynasty!" ”
Ooh! Or a relic!
Tang Yi was surprised, the Song Dynasty's Buren Armor was famous, and I heard that it had long been lost, and I am afraid that only an immortal monster like the Wang family could have a collection. The entire armor is composed of 1825 armor leaves, the whole body is under protection, the heaviest is 29 kilograms, plus weapons, a soldier has to carry sixty or seventy pounds, running to kill the enemy, thinking about it makes people's scalp tingle and shudder. Not to mention that Tang Xiucai is a weak scholar, even if he is an ordinary strong man, he can't bear it.
"Dad, why are you wearing this thing?"
"What do you mean it's okay, your father is an inspection, and the fake one is also half a martial artist." Tang Xiucai's voice weakened, "Can't you want to be both civil and military?" ”
"Okay, why not!" Tang Yi couldn't help but laugh, "Dad, but it's not easy to practice martial arts?" ”
"It's not easy to practice!" Tang Xiucai also had a stubborn temper, and said angrily: "I asked Mr. Jing Chuan, he also learned martial arts after middle age, your father can't be worse than others everywhere!" ”
Daddy is high-spirited, of course Tang Yi can't pull his back legs, but he is so high as soon as he comes up, isn't he playing with his life!
"That can't swallow a fat man in one bite."
Tang Xiucai held his head and thought about it, it also made sense, he originally wanted to practice secretly, and then make a splash, it seemed that it would not work.
"Tomorrow morning, I'm going to practice with the recruits." Tang Xiucai walked slowly to the study, didn't take a few steps, turned back to Tang Yi and said, "You kid also follow!" ”
"Hey, don't you take such a bully?" Tang Yi screamed.
Tang Xiucai smiled slyly: "I don't care, anyway, I want to find someone worse than me, so I don't have to be ashamed." If you are blessed and enjoy hardships, you will accept your fate! ”
Share happiness, happiness will be doubled, share suffering, suffering will not decrease, but it can increase happiness, in the spirit of the east wind breaking, I am more broken than the east wind, Tang Xiucai did not hesitate to drag his son into the water.
Before dawn, the two men dressed in short fights and followed behind the recruits.
"Run, walk!"
Snoring, the long line ran around the school yard first, and then out of the barracks, bypassed the bamboo forest, ran along the salt and iron pond, and went back and forth for ten miles. As soon as he ran, Tang Xiucai was not very good, after all, at the age of his early thirties, running a few steps was nothing. But then Tang Xiucai's trouble came.
After a thousand meters, the two legs became heavier and heavier, and the throat seemed to be on fire, and he tried his best, but the person in front of him was getting farther and farther away. What made Tang Xiucai speechless the most was that Tang Yi, the little bastard, ran so fast that he easily overtook him, leaving only a grimace!
Tang Xiucai then remembered that this little bastard had learned kung fu with Tang Shunzhi for more than half a year, and he knew that this was the case, so why bother in the first place! Tang Xiucai couldn't regret it, so he could only grit his teeth and hold on, and when he was out of breath and ran back to the barracks, the sun had already risen, and the recruits had almost eaten their meals, and the pots and pans were empty
At the thought of training hungry, Tang Xiucai saw the Venus swaying in front of him and almost fell down.
"Your fodder!"
Egg!
The life-saving straw came, he hurriedly took it, quickly peeled it, swallowed it in his stomach, looked up suddenly, and found that it was Tang Yi who gave him the egg.
"Stinky boy, dare to entertain your father!" Tang Xiucai was about to fight.
Tang Yi smiled and said, "Dad, you better save some strength, the hardships are behind!" ”
Tang Xiucai looked blankly, and saw a group of people crawling forward in the quagmire, escaping a group of mud monkeys alive, Tang Xiucai's eyes suddenly went black, and he fainted directly.
