[Nightlight] Volume 2: Song of Winter, Chapter 284 Expansion of the Army

Lei Yanqian and Meng Kang knelt side by side in front of the tent, this was the general of Zhai Zheci's punishment army.

The scene when he returned to the camp made his good mood disappear, the soldiers of the two battalions confronted each other with their bare hands, Lei Yanqian and Meng Kang were shirtless, both of them had blue noses and swollen faces, and scars on their bodies. Hundreds of cavalry in the Fengqin battalion pressed the formation three or four hundred steps away, and in the face of these two people, there was no way for Fengqin to get on fire in a hurry, his qualifications were too shallow. As long as it doesn't cause a fire in the camp and kills people, he won't do it at will.

"You're tired of being alive, aren't you?" The braids in Zhai Zhe's hands were drawn on the faces of Lei Yanqian and Meng Kang. The relationship between the generals in the army can't escape his eyes, Lei Yanqian has a complaint he knows, Meng Kang doesn't like Lei Yanqian, he also knows, but he never expected it to turn into this situation.

"He was the one who hit me first!" Meng Kang was still stiff-mouthed, not understanding Zhai Zhe's mood.

"Shut up!" The whip struck Meng Kang's shoulder hard, leaving a bloody trail. Zhai Zhe's face was gloomy, this was something he couldn't tolerate. He has been with Meng Kang for more than ten years, how could he not know that he has a careful eye, says the wrong thing in his mouth, and does reckless things, but in fact, his heart is like a mirror.

Zhai Zhe was not polite at all, the whip hit Lei Yanqian's back with a backhand, Lei Yanqian's neck went up, met Zhai Zhe's eyes, and lowered his head.

"Can't we have you in our army?" Zhai Zhe stood in Lei Yanqian's ear and asked, it was not that he had never heard of rumors in the army.

Lei Yanqian felt a trace of fear in his heart.

In the grassland, these people have to rely on Zhai Zhe to live, and Zhai Zhe can dominate the generals without showing his prestige, so he has always been very tolerant, and even makes people feel that he is a little weak and easy to bully. This group fight forced him to the fire rack, but it was actually a chance for him to stand up.

"Whip them twenty and put them in a flail at the gate of the camp for one day. The soldiers who participated in the brawl were guilty of the same crime! ”

"Yes!" Bao Guanghe and Feng Qin did not dare to intercede.

Zhai Zhe walked up to Meng Kang first and said, "You, keep your mouth shut!" He went to Lei Yanqian and lowered his voice and said, "You, control your heart!" He understood Lei Yanqian's state of mind, but it didn't mean that he could tolerate his behavior. Lei Yanqian was not convinced by Zhai Zhe, and he could see the clues from his usual speech and attitude.

"Today's first offense, I'll leave you a memory first, if you really don't want to stay in our army, leave early after this day."

Zuo Ruo led the recruits to train in the mountains and forests more than ten miles away, and when he rushed back to the barracks, he happened to see Bao Guang's supervising guards punishing the soldiers, and pieces of flesh were flying under the braids.

"Your Excellency!" Zuo Ruo walked quickly to Zhai Zhe and saluted, with an anxious look on his face. Before he entered the camp, he had already received a message from his own soldiers, and he knew what had happened.

In front of everyone's eyes, Meng Kang and Lei Yanqian knelt on the ground with their hands, gritting their teeth to endure the pain.

Lei Yanqian's eyes glared at the ground angrily, as if he could breathe fire, he had fought for Zhai Zhe for several years, but he didn't expect to change to today's situation. Meng Kang was similar to the dog raised by Zhai Zhe in his eyes, but he didn't expect to be humiliated with the dog today.

Even the war horses in the silence in the barracks didn't dare to neigh, Zuo Ruo stood on Zhai Zhe's side and saw the green tendons on Lei Yanqian's arms protruding. From the Lei Yanqian personality he understood, it was impossible for him, the second brother, to serve Zhai Zhe after this.

"All battalions of soldiers and horses will open the Liangcheng grassland tomorrow, except for the cavalry of the Fengqin Department, the rest of the people are not allowed to return to Daming without permission!" Zhai Zhe was still angry, and the experience of the past half a year made him have a fear of Daming, worried that these people had stayed in Daming for a long time and were no longer a strong army under his command.

"Your Excellency!" Zuo Ruo was puzzled.

"We're going back to the prairie!" Zhai Zhe soothed his tone.

Lu Xiangsheng's order to him was to let him coordinate the relations between the various Mongolian tribes, which happened to give him a chance. Fang Shan is not a border fort, his soldiers and horses are stationed here like abandoned orphans, in this case, why not return to the grassland? Because of the blood feud with the remnants of the Alukarkha, he could no longer return to the Tuoketo grassland, but Liangcheng belonged to the pastures of the Tumut people, and there were not many herders in the Zhangba grassland. Lu Xiangsheng can cooperate with the Eight Great Merchants, of course he can, everyone is believing in their own strength, why should he put the shackles of not storing zài on himself.

"Hanbu's strength has been stagnant for a long time!" Zhai Zhe inadvertently said his former title, "Summoning Xiao Zhiyan back to the camp!" ”

"Yes!" Bao Guang, the commander of the guards, was responsible for conveying Zhai Zhe's orders.

"Expand your strength!" Zuo Ruo heard Zhai Zhe's words and felt inexplicably excited.

Lu Xiangsheng would not hand over a border fort to Zhai Zhe, nor did he add soldiers to Zhai Zhe's command, what he did was just a means to win people's hearts and buy military salaries. Thinking of the big battle in the grassland next year, I'm afraid that there is only one cavalry out of the fortress to fight, I'm afraid there is only one cavalry Zhai Zhe, these cavalry are finished, what's the use of just leaving the Shang Alliance?

Xiao Zhiyan's light cavalry has been patrolling the border, occasionally hunting some game to satisfy his hunger, and he doesn't like to stay in the barracks all the time to be restrained. When he returned to Fangshan, he happened to meet the cavalry of the brigade packing up their tents and preparing to march outside the fortress, Zuo Ruo first talked to him about Lei Yanqian.

Meng Kang and Lei Yanqian are still recuperating from their injuries, and there are only three people in the military tent: Xiao Zhiyan, Zuo Ruo, and Feng Qin.

"There are many reasons why I invested in Daming, and the lack of hope in the grassland is the most important reason. But Han Qi invested in the Ming Dynasty not to become a tool of Xuanda Town completely, at the mercy of others. Now that the big picture has been decided, I want to re-expand my troops. Xuanda Town has not had natural disasters in recent years, and with such a capable governor as Lu Gong, it is impossible to imagine that Chongzhen has led tens of thousands of refugees out of the fortress like Chongzhen did in three years. Lu Gong is both useful and defensive against me, if I recruit troops in Xuanda Town, I will inevitably get into trouble, so please have familiar people under Brother Xiao to go to Shaanxi, and relatives and friends have brought them over, and now we are also officers and soldiers of the imperial court, so we don't have to hide and hide like before. Zhai Zhe's expression was stern, and he was no longer as pleasant as before.

"That's exactly how it should be!" Zuo Ruoxian agreed.

"If you do this, you can hide it from the Governor for a while, but not for a long time!" Xiao Zhiyan showed a worried look, "Now our military food supply is in the hands of the imperial court!" ”

"If you don't do this, one less Han cavalry will die, and then there will be no use in leaving the names of generals and guerrillas, not fish on the chopping board. People like us who have returned from outside the fortress do not sit in the position of the general soldier of a town, there is no guarantee at all, and the governors of each town will cut it at will, and if you throw a stone into the water, there will be no splash! Even if you are a general soldier, it is not safe, Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of Dongjiang Town, was beheaded by Yuan Chonghuan when he said that he was beheaded, and Geng Jingzhong and others under his command are still working for the Qing captives! Zhai Zhe said this, so that Xiao Zhiyan did not dare to say more. Lu Xiangsheng's handling of the Eight Families, coupled with Liu Suifeng's reminder, made Zhai Zhe start to think about himself.

"Duke Lu ordered me to keep Mongolia in Monan, what should I take?" Zhai Zhe snorted coldly, "As soon as the Qing army arrives, who will dare to fight in Xuanda Town?" The only way to build a naval army on the banks of the Yellow River is to build it again! Since Lu Xiangsheng wants to see Ezhe, he has to take advantage of this opportunity, and some words can come out of Ezhe's mouth.

The situation is very different when the Han cavalry wants to return to the grassland, with more help and more restrictions.
