On the high platform of the school field outside the east gate of Weihaiwei, Yang Yunnong commanded the adults to wear a special scale armor, he was too fat, and any of the Ming army's standard armor could not wear it, so he had to let the military craftsmen in the institute make a special one, but it could not be too heavy, those craftsmen tried their best to beat the iron sheet very thin, and made a twenty-pound scale armor, and the actual combat effect was discounted, but it still looked very majestic from the outside.

Yang Yunnong stood behind fifteen family members, he originally had twenty family members, five died when he was robbed, he raised these family members every year to more than ten taels of silver, over the years of investment is also a lot, calculated plus the payment of a total of more than five hundred taels of silver, which made him feel heartache for a long time, so he has been in a bad mood recently, and now he sees the situation under the stage is even worse.

There are already more than 200 military men standing in the audience, dozens of them are city defenders who are on duty to guard the city, and most of the others are temporarily transferred from the three thousand households of the garrison army, among these people are middle-aged men, there are also old men in their fifties, and there are half-grown children in their teens, and they don't have any military uniforms, so they wear the tattered clothes of farming on weekdays, and stand in several large piles according to their respective dungeons, and in the big piles, they stand in many small piles according to the familiar Cheng dù, and they are busy pulling homely things, and some women and children are mixed in with them, and some children are crying, There was a lot of commotion in the field, and if it weren't for the fact that they had some weapons in their hands, others would have thought that they were rushing to gather somewhere.

The three thousand households and Zheng Dianshi of Wendeng County were all accompanied by Yang Yunnong, and the three thousand households saw that the commander's face was not good, and ran down with Zhenfu to beat and scold the military households in the field, and tossed for a full quarter of an hour, most of these military households were tenants of officers at all levels, and they were still afraid of them, and they finally stood according to their own hundred households, although it was still messy, but it was better than the vegetable market just now.

Yang Yunnong's face was slightly pale, and when a few thousand households came back, he asked gloomily, "How many people haven't arrived?" ”

Several thousands of households took turns to report, probably half of them have not arrived, and it is not noon at this time, and it is reasonable to say that it has not arrived, Yang Yunnong put on a smiling face and confessed to Zheng Dianshi next to him, that Zheng Dianshi has seen too much of the guard, and knows that the guards are like this, and they may not be able to practice once a year, so they don't care.

Wait until three o'clock, and there are some scattered ones, and the sound of greeting and greeting people is everywhere, these military households have taken root in Weihai for many years, and they have intermarried with each other a lot, even if it is not a dungeon, there are many people who know each other, and the field began to be chaotic again, and Zhenfu brought his two family members to go up and scold. While the fight was in full swing, there was a neat sound of trumpets and footsteps from the north.

Everyone in the field turned their heads strangely and saw that nearly 100 people were divided into six queues, the front five teams each had twelve people, all wearing bright helmets and uniform fat jackets, and the team officers walked in the front with flag guns in their hands, and the two columns in the middle were formed into two columns, and the last firefighter carried a flat shoulder. They walked with neat steps, solemn faces, each carrying a weapon, and the military face was solemn, and they walked towards this side with the same steps.

When have these mighty naval households seen such an army, some people have seen them run a few times on weekdays, everyone thinks these people are stupid, they don't know what to run every day, but now when they see them marching, they actually have such momentum, they can't help but stop talking, and look at this strange army blankly.

After all the small troops entered the school field, they lined up in front of the point platform in turn, and those in place did not stop, and they stepped in place, and the sound of neat footsteps still sounded until all the teams were in place in front of the stage, and the leading Qianhu shouted, "All stand!" ”

Nearly 100 people shouted "Tiger!" at the same time. (Note 1), the right foot slammed on the ground at the same time, and everyone in the school yard was startled, as if the ground was shaking.

"All turn left." Nearly 100 people brushed with their left foot as the axis, their bodies turned left, followed by a snap of their right feet together, nearly 100 people were like one person, and after turning around, they stood indifferently, no one turned their heads or spoke, and the field suddenly became quiet.

All the people present never thought that the army could look like this, Yang Yunnong watched Chen Xin run up to the stage in a daze, only to see Chen Xin kneeling down in front of Yang Yunnong and said, "Chen Xin, a hundred households under Weihaiwei, was ordered to bring seventy-eight people from his military household to the Acropolis to listen to it. ”

Yang Yunnong was still stunned, Zheng Dianshi next to him reacted first, and hurriedly stabbed Yang Yunnong, he reacted at this time, and said a little hurriedly: "Okay, okay, this, Chen Qianhu is here." ”

Zheng Dianshi heard that he was a little unspeakable, and coughed and said, "Lord Yang, do you want to arrange for this Chen Qianhu to line up at Zuo Qianhu's position first." ”

Yang Yunnong suddenly said: "Ah, that's right, Chen Qianhu, then you will take your subordinates to the ranks of Zuo Qianhu." Zeng Qianhu, take Chen Qianhu quickly. ”

After Chen Xin knelt down again and saluted, he stepped down and gave a few more orders, and the queue turned right and marched to the position of the left thousand households, lined up in six two-line queues. At this time, five more military households brought five mules and handed them over to the logistics team, Chen Xin was planning to give Weihaiwei a dismount in the field, so as not to let anyone beat him in the future, so in order to queue up neatly, even the mules were not brought into the field, and at this time the mules were collected, and the older military households were sent back.

Zheng Dianshi waited for them to go away before he said to Yang Yunnong: "The order is forbidden, Lord Yang has such a strong army, why worry about the sky." ”

Yang Yunnong regained some face in front of the classic history, he was proud in his heart, and he was polite in his mouth, "Chen Qianhu is effective in governing the army, and even the governor admires it." He didn't say that Chen Xin was arranged by the governor, Zheng Dianshi thought that the governor admired Yang Yunnong, and by the way, he admired Chen Qianhu, and his vision was slightly different.

After Chen Xin's small army stood at the position of Zuo Qianhu, there was a buzz in the field, and the surrounding military households surrounded them as if they were looking at rare animals, pointing and pointing, both envy and mockery, these slender men have suffered a lot of military sticks these days, and now they never dare to look left and right in the queue, and they are often watched by their families and the masses of Mazidun during daily drills, and they don't care about these anymore.

Lu Chuanzong was very unhappy with these onlookers, and said loudly to his two teams of soldiers: "Stand up, let these hillbillies see what an army is." ”

"Who the are you talking about as a hillbilly?" A tall and strong man with a full face came out and said viciously to Lu Donkey.

The soldiers of the five teams saw that someone dared to be disrespectful to their officers, and they were all eager to try, their daily monotonous training, they were trained to be super energetic, and they were often beaten, and they had nowhere to vent their grievances, and there were people who wanted to find someone to fight every day. Although these officers usually beat and scold, they are very good to them, some of them are injured and often take medicine in person, and they don't even have special meals, they get along every day for two or three months, and everyone has a good relationship, and now they are waiting for Chen Xin's order to beat this strong man.

The strong man didn't realize it, and walked in front of Lu Chuanzong, and looked at Lu Chuanzong, Lu Donkey organized an assassination in Dengzhou after a bloody battle at sea, his temperament was very different from before, he looked at this strong man with a disdainful face with his hands behind his back, and said coldly: "Lao Tzu will say you." ”

The strong man saw the fierce light in Lu Donkey's eyes, and he was a little scared at this time, but he didn't want to lose face, he couldn't get off the stage after hearing this, and he was about to come up to fight as soon as he rolled up his sleeves, Chen Xin was about to call Dai Zhenggang to teach that person a lesson, and a stick suddenly appeared behind the strong man, and hit him on the back a few times, but he saw that Zeng Qianhu was coming, Zeng Qianhu scolded while beating, and the strong man was also from Zuo Qianhu, and he didn't dare to talk back to Qianhu, and he could be regarded as having a step to get off the stage, jumping and running away, but after walking away, he turned his head and spat on this side.

At this time, even Zhu Guobin and Dai Zhenggang couldn't help it, the two looked at Chen Xin, to see what he said, Chen Xin smiled and waved his hand, and the two went back to the queue indignantly. Nie Hong asked in Chen Xin's ear: "My lord, this guy is really hateful, do you want your subordinates to do him on the road." ”

Chen Xin still smiled and said softly: "Such a small role, it's not worth thinking about, we don't kill people casually, we only kill people with a purpose and benefits." ”

Nie Hong was reluctant to retreat, but his eyes never left the strong man, looking at it fiercely.

Zeng Qianhu beat the strong man away, came over to apologize to Chen Xin again and again, saying that his subordinates were not sensible, and the soldiers behind Chen Xin were a little angry.

In this way, I have been making a lot of noise and waiting for more than an hour, several thousands of households have sent people to urge, and the rest of the people have finally arrived one after another, at this time it has been past lunch time, and the people in the field are noisy again.

Commander Yang had no choice but to agree to cook for everyone, the military households were prepared for the war, but the guards still had to send some food, a group of soldiers defending the city brought some food, and the people of each thousand households were afraid of people, and they did not divide what they were, and they rushed up to surround the food distribution affairs, and a former thousand military households carried the grain bags of the institute out, and were squeezed by the people next to them, and the grain bags were knocked over to the ground, and they were sprinkled everywhere, and the people next to them saw the food, and they were hungry, and a group of people suddenly surrounded them, crawled on the ground and loaded them into their arms with their hands, and grabbed each other's arms, in a ball.

Yang Yunnong couldn't bear it anymore, so he sent his family to beat him indiscriminately, and after finally breaking up this group of people, the ground was already in a mess. Anyway, the food was distributed, and the people in each dungeon received some of it, and the people who were in a hurry began to cook in the middle of the battle, Chen Xin's people didn't go to grab anything, he looked at these military households and shook his head, he couldn't even compare to the ruffians.

The five teams of soldiers and the first team of logistics soldiers each had their own firemen, set up pots, borrowed some firewood from Zeng Qianhu, quickly cooked dry rice, and ate well in less than a quarter of an hour, and then they put the bedding on their backs on the ground and sat on it neatly to rest.

This meal was eaten until the next moment, Yang Yunnong lost face in front of Zheng Dianshi, and regardless of whether these military households finished eating or not, he called the family to urge them to go on the road, and it was even more chaotic as soon as they got on the road.

Yang Yunnong had no choice but to stop the brigade again, called a few thousand households and calmed down, and set the marching sequence, I don't know if Lord Yang was busy and dizzy, he actually forgot about Chen Xin's strong army, and put Zuo Qianhu at the end, and he himself walked in the middle with his family and dozens of defenders.

All the way dragged on, the officers beat and scolded constantly, and walked less than ten miles south along the coast before dark, some military households came from this direction, and after tossing for a day, they turned back the same way, and made noise again, Yang Yunnong saw that everyone was angry, and he didn't have any domineering spirit, so he simply stopped camping, and they could still see the Weihai Acropolis after walking for a day.

When camping at night, it was not too complicated, everyone was tired, and they did not dig a trench, Chen Xin chose the side near the sea to camp, which was not easy to be attacked, and most of the camps of Zuo Qianhu were on the side of the mountain.

The warrior team took off the tent from the mule's back, the tents of the four killer teams were on the four sides, and Chen Xin's personal team, firearms team and logistics team were in the middle.

In the evening, the surrounding military households lit bonfires, and there was a lot of noise, but it was like camping, especially those who grabbed a lot of food, cooked a big pot of rice, and laughed from time to time.

Chen Xin looked at those bonfires from afar, and Zhu Guobin came to Chen Xin's side and said, "My lord, I didn't expect the guards in the hinterland to be so bad, I don't know if it's all like this." ”

"I don't know, but these soldiers can't fight anyway. I've already looked for Zeng Qianhu, since Zuo Qianhu is at the end, let's do the last, and separate from this gang, if we arrange it in the middle, it will be even more troublesome. But then we have to endure their snail speed. ”
