Chapter 331: Graduation Ceremony

Zhang Zhang glanced at Hong Chengchou coldly, and secretly made up his mind: This thief will be killed by him one day!

Just yesterday, the imperial court issued a decree, and the establishment of 15,000 people of the Tuanshan Army was officially approved.

The grain and salary were transported twice in spring and autumn, and now there is no silver, but the grain and armaments are still all transported to Tuanshan Fort, and the escort is the new governor of Jiliao, Hong Chengchou.

According to the practice of the imperial court, the Tuanshan Army is equivalent to the soldiers and horses of a newly opened town, and according to the rules, people must come to check the number of people.

Generally speaking, when other Daming border towns encounter this time, they will temporarily catch some strong men from the people to make up the number in order to perfunctory Shangguan. As long as the civil officials receive the money, the number is right, and it doesn't matter whether those people are ordinary people or soldiers.

Zhang Li glanced at Hong Chengchou, who was sitting on the high seat in the north, and snorted slightly coldly in his heart: This bribery is a bottomless pit at all, and the so-called desire is difficult to fill! Tuanshan Army will never give anyone a bribe.

Of course, Zhang Li is not stupid, his current official position is Liaodong Patrol, and he is in charge of "party discipline and state law" - your butt is definitely not clean, this young master is not bad if he didn't ask you to collect cash, you still dare to come to Tuanshan Fort to fight the autumn wind?

In the will of the imperial court this time, all the generals of Tuanshan Fort were promoted to one level, and Gao Yuanliang was promoted to the general of Tuanshan Fort of the third rank - obviously this was out of the second assistant Zhou Yanru's efforts, after all, the imperial court had no money to pay military salaries, and it was good to give the generals a promotion to calm their anger......

Just when tension pondered Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou was also pondering tension.

Hong Chengchou's eyes narrowed slightly, gently stroked his beard, and looked at the team of 15,000 people on the school field. I couldn't help but be a little shocked in my heart.

He is also a civilian official who has fought an old war, and he is no stranger to the army. But it was the first time in his life to see such a majestic, high-spirited, neat and disciplined steel team.

This is not the common thing that I usually do, not because my salary is deducted, and I am yellow and thin, and I am listless. is that there is a world of difference between the officials and the army who are rampant in the countryside and the common people!

When the whole team saw that they had boarded, they couldn't help but secretly let out an exclamation in their hearts:

What is this tension that is sacred, and it has the ability to train soldiers like this? Could it be that there is a military genius like the champion Hou Huo, who is not yet twenty years old!

Hong Chengchou has always regarded himself as a person who "knows the soldiers", and he is very conceited about his professional cultivation in the military room, believing that there are not many people in the entire Ming Dynasty who know military affairs and can command the army to fight.

Who knows, as soon as the tense Tuanshan Army appeared on the stage, what was shown was such a military appearance!

Hong Chengchou's brows furrowed deeply. shook his head slightly: even if he didn't want to admit it because he was worried about his face, he had to accept that the talent of tension training was stronger than his own, which ......

Hong Chengchou reined in his thoughts and decided to take a good look at the colonel of the Tuanshan Army.

At this moment, Gao Yuanliang, the general of Tuanshan Fort, suddenly shouted: "The school starts!" ”

All the soldiers stood solemnly and waited, and Zhang Zhang took the stage to speak first. Since Hong Chengchou will be attending the school, Zhang Zhang has already greeted all the generals in advance and asked them to take preventive shots with the soldiers in advance.

Zhang Zhang naturally blew a burst of words like "court grace" at this moment, after all, did people come to distribute food and armaments. Say a few words and you won't die.

Then Zhang Zhang encouraged all the soldiers, and then the actual point school.

Hong Chengchou is actually most concerned about this, although he knows at a glance that the number of Tuanshan troops on the school field is about more than 10,000 people, but the specific number is impossible to know.

I thought that the Tuanshan Army would be the same as the Ming Border Army. Find some people to make up for it. But now it seems that all the people standing on the school field are elite soldiers, and they have the temperament of ordering and prohibiting. It's the people who can't pretend to come!

Since they are all soldiers, this governor will see if you have 15,000 people in the mountain army! If not. Hum......

However, it didn't take long for Hong Chengchou's face to start burning hot.

Fifteen thousand people reported the number. It was only half an hour to complete the report, and the number of people turned out to be fifteen thousand three hundred and two!

Hong Chengchou also paid attention to it, and even sent a team of personal soldiers brought by himself to personally go down to supervise and see if there was any jumping to report the number. As a result, the soldiers came back to report, and the number was not bad!

Hong Chengchou couldn't help but wonder a little, and said softly to himself: "This is strange, isn't this tension empty?" Or is there a better, more unobtrusive approach? ”

Hong Chengchou muttered to himself in his heart, but before he could think through this question, something happened in front of him that surprised him even more.

Originally, the ceremony began in the early morning and did not end at noon, but when it was time for the meal, the weather changed again - gradually becoming gloomy.

More than 15,000 people on the campus of Tuanshan Fort seemed to be unconscious, including Zhang Zhang himself, who stood up straight and continued to order the school without moving, everyone wearing helmets, armor, and heavy equipment, standing upright for several hours, and having to endure the hunger of not eating at noon!

The weather in Liaodong is changing, Hong Chengchou only feels that it is dark in front of him, the wind is blowing, and the downpour is suddenly falling!

Of course, this is not beautiful, a grand school ceremony was destroyed, and the school field suddenly became a country. Hong Chengchou's personal soldiers quickly found a large marching oil-paper umbrella and held it up.

Hong Chengchou was so surprised that he couldn't speak, in the pouring rain, the 15,000 soldiers were still standing upright in place, letting the raindrops as big as beans hit their bodies, making them wet from head to toe, but no one dodged, no one reached out to wipe the water droplets on their faces, and no one even moved at all!

Zhang Li himself is a civilian official, not a military general, so he didn't need to be like this, but he, like all the personnel of the Tuanshan Army, stood upright in the heavy rain, and he didn't even frown!

The ceremony will be held as usual......

Hong Chengchou was dumbfounded, sitting on the chair as if unconscious for a while, his heart was blank, and it wasn't until he regained consciousness that he heard the voice in his heart:

I have only heard that in the past, when I was young and Qi Jiguang governed the army, I was able to rectify the military discipline so strictly-I had only heard about it before, and I had always been suspicious of it-I never thought about it, but today I saw the military appearance of the Tuanshan Army with my own eyes!

Rao is Hong Chengchou has been governing the army for many years, but he can't help but wonder: What method did this tension use to train the Tuanshan Army so elite? (To be continued.) )
