Chapter 420: Sitting Tiger
Today's second shift, ask for a monthly pass!
Qiu Laohu was very nervous, although he didn't know the word nervous, according to his own wording, that is, there was no bottom in his heart, and the hair under his feet was soft, he almost didn't know how he walked up just now, and he also saw that the guy walking in front of him was almost a little smooth, he wanted to laugh a little to relieve his nervousness by the way, but then he found that he couldn't open his mouth at all, and the muscles on his face were almost stiff, and he couldn't make any expression at all, just like the same stiff body.
Finally walked to the stage, looking at the boundless crowd below, the tension that had just subsided was rising again, and this time it was more violent and fast than before, and his legs were subconsciously weak, and the whole person was almost about to faint on the spot, this emotion kept controlling him until he saw the old chimney in a position, this old guy who never seemed to know what the tension was, and would not cause mood swings for anything, was now also pale, no matter how he looked at it, Qiu Laohu finally became more down-to-earth, and muttered in a low voice: "Old thing, you have a fucking today, I thought you could hold up the scene." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, you Qiu Laohu is bullish and coaxed on weekdays, but now you have become a castration!" The old chimney was tense at this point, unceremoniously organized a counterattack, and looked at Qiu Laohu with provocative eyes, although his legs were trembling all the time, but he refused to relax at all, as if he was not nervous.
The most difficult result is that the old chimney is not nervous, Qiu Laohu is not nervous, the most nervous has become the Tanma standing between the two of them, the buddy wanted to say something a few times, and after moving his lips, he chose to give up, and he knew very well in his heart that as long as he said something. He may sit nervously and directly on the ground.
Fortunately, Song Qing took the generals to the stage, and the attention of the Xuzhou soldiers was also focused on the big shots, especially Song Qing, the pressure on the awardees immediately weakened, Qiu Laohu let out a heavy breath, and began to look ahead without squinting, waiting for the big men to award themselves.
After the nervousness, he felt what it means to be excited, as one of Song Qing's iron fans. He had fought side by side with the general in his fantasy or sleep countless times, but the identity of that auxiliary soldier made all this impossible, this time he risked his life to leave the team, and joined the horse exploration team with a very high casualty rate, and finally made a meritorious return, and was able to get Song Qing's personal award, which made him proud from the bottom of his heart, thinking that Song Qing was going to wear that warrior medal for him later, he felt full of energy. After all, it was an unusual medal, not as good as the best mustang, but it was something that most soldiers didn't have.
When he received the commemorative medal yesterday, he was actually very excited. It's just that that thing even has a groom and a guy, which is an honor for a big road, and for a person like him whose heart is higher than the sky, it can only be regarded as a small excitement. Today's Medal of Warrior is the most important item, and it is what he has been looking forward to frantically.
He had already inquired with the commander who issued the medal yesterday, and this kind of combat medal was divided into several levels. The lowest is Zhou Gazi's Medal of Heroes, then the Medal of Warriors, and the Medal of Warriors when they kill fifteen, and then the upper ones are divided into arms, the Wild Horse Medal for the horses, the Medal for the Infantrymen, the Medal for the Hundred Paces of the Archers, and the others seem to be for the doctors' wonderful hands and benevolence, etc., which he doesn't care, anyway, he knows that he has won the third-class Warrior Medal.
He regretted it somewhat, regretted that he couldn't be braver at the beginning, as long as he killed two more enemies, he would be able to get the second-class Warrior Medal, but this emotion didn't last long, because he had become a formal soldier, and he was also a petty officer, it was said that all kinds of procedures would be sent down after this war, and the opportunity to fight would definitely not be too small, let alone kill fifteen enemies, even if he got the White Blade Medal, he was also confident, it was just a matter of time.
Thinking about it, Song Qing had already walked to his side, Qiu Laohu's mood became tense again, this was the first time he saw Song Qing so closely, he himself was already very tall among ordinary people, almost one meter eight, but this kind of height in front of Song Qing, who was one meter nine, was still half a head shorter, so that he made a move that he rarely did, he had to raise his head to face Song Qing, and that sense of awe was also a little more because of the difference in height, but he was also a bit stupid and bold. Swallowing his saliva, when Song Qing took the medal from someone else's hand, he suddenly mustered up the courage and said, "General, little Qiu Laohu, do you still remember me?" ”
"Of course remember, don't kill something!" Song Qing smiled and gave Qiu Laohu a punch, solemnly put the medal on the other party's chest, and asked: "What are your plans in the future, whether you want to be a tanma or an ordinary soldier, I don't know what I want in my heart now, it depends on your own meaning." ”
Qiu Laohu also grinned and said: "Of course I still want to be a soldier, my four brothers are the same, we came out for this at the beginning, although there is more money in the horses, and it is more beautiful, but we still want to be soldiers, and I hope that the adults will give me a grace!" ”
"Okay, then be a soldier, I'll give you a general first, and the other four will also be transferred to you, and there are some other brothers, when you're done, you will go to the people of the Military Affairs Department to make a settlement, and then go and see your own soldiers!" When Song Qing said this, he suddenly paused, looked at Qiu Laohu, who was dazed, showed an even more strange smile, first walked a few steps in front of the other party, and then said with a bit of joke: "But there is one more thing you have to do, including your four brothers, you have made meritorious contributions, but it is not false to leave the team without permission, and after bringing your brothers back, you will also have to receive twenty military sticks, not a stick is missing, do you understand?" ”
"Ming, understood......" Qiu Laohu's face turned red, he lowered his head with shame, and when he raised his head again, Song Qing had already walked in front of Chen Mazhuan, it seemed that he was also teasing each other with this matter, he also breathed a sigh of relief, although the twenty military sticks were not light, but they finally became soldiers in the future, and they also became the general, this trip out desperately was not in vain, he subconsciously turned his face away, and happened to see the old chimney with the same embarrassed face, the two looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.
The first award ceremony of the Xuzhou Department can be said to be very successful, not only the people who were awarded in public are very excited, but also those soldiers who failed to take the stage, because they saw the civilian heroes produced by ordinary soldiers, and it also shows that they themselves have this opportunity, in this Xuzhou system, which is definitely different from other places in the Ming Dynasty, it is not only those who are officials who become heroes, ordinary soldiers as long as they work hard, they can also stand in this place of supreme honor and get their share of rewards, This has hardly happened in thousands of years of history, and its appearance is naturally precious, enough for all soldiers to defend with their lives and dignity.
After the award ceremony, Song Qing continued to rest in place, his presence was warmly welcomed by the nearby states and counties, because within the radiation range of his power, there were no rogues to make trouble, and the local bandits were gradually wiped out under Song Qing's half-training and half-robbery methods, and a very small number of them had retreated into the mountains and did not dare to appear again, and the northern part of Henan was almost about to reach the harmonious and prosperous realm of Haiyan Heqing, plus the Xuzhou soldiers bought things and gave money, and they did not go out to plunder, and the local officials were after a short period of panic, began to flock to this team, which can be called a child soldier, and the local gentry also welcomed this team, and some people brought food, wine and meat to the army to reward the army, and each time they could get some rewards.
After a series of battles, Song Qing finally got the position of the tiger, after a few days of comfortable days, if it weren't for the fact that Hong Chengchou was estimated to send someone to transfer troops soon, he almost all had the idea of building a tuntian here and doing a lot of infrastructure construction, and the various efforts made before were also rewarded, with this good performance, when sending troops into Henan in the future, it is estimated that there will be no resistance, but it is more likely to be welcomed by the sandwich road, which is very convenient for him to use troops here in the future, This is also a lack of time, otherwise he can even hold a few military-civilian gatherings to promote the situation of fish and water, so that the people of Xuzhou and the people of Henan are heart-to-heart.
But even so, his propaganda team did not have the slightest rest, but sent people everywhere to set up a stage in nearby villages and towns to perform dramas, the content of the repertoire is about how beautiful life in Xuzhou is, how happy the people of Xuzhou are, as long as Hong Chengchou's order does not come for a day, he will win the hearts of the people in Henan, anyway, he is a general of the imperial court, and he is not a traitor, out of the theory that who does not boast of the good luck of my hometown, publicize how beautiful the neighboring Xuzhou is, no one can find any fault.
After all, the good days are short-lived, after spending a relaxed and comfortable life near Tangyin, the governor of the three sides, Hong Chengchou, and the general soldier Cao Wenzhao's joint order, told him to lead the Xuzhou soldiers and horses to the north, and the Ming army brigade operating in the south of Beizhili, to deal with the peasant army that has arrived there, and re-expanded to more than 200,000 people, although Song Qing is very, very not want to go, but he can't bear the military order like a mountain, so he has to arrange people to pull out the camp and set up the village, and slowly move towards the north.
This slow walk is by no means a modifier, General Song really marched again with the speed of a spring outing, walking less than twenty miles a day, as long as there is a slight problem with the road conditions, he immediately stopped and did not walk, waiting to pave the road and continue to move forward, when he arrived in Beizhili, it was almost the end of the year. (To be continued......)
