Chapter 331: Locust Tree Lane
comforted Chen Qingzhi and Xu Da, Li Kang was not good at favoring one over the other, and spent time encouraging the superintendent, the instructor and the three battalion commanders, and then brought the topic back to the issue of military resources.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty thinks that maybe we can directly recruit troops in Chenggong County, Zhilong Town and Zhihu Town in the east and north of Chenggong County are mostly pastures, and most of the residents who settle down are herdsmen, and the proportion of people who can ride horses is much higher than that of other counties, and it is not difficult to recruit a regiment of cavalry!" It was Army Commander Yue Fei who spoke, and his suggestion was very feasible.
Sure enough, as soon as Yue Fei's suggestion came out, Sima Chengen and the others all showed their intentions.
Li Kang frowned and thought for a while, and said: "You can recruit some of them in Chenggong County, but other counties can't give up completely, after all, Chenggong County is related to China's horse politics and meat supply products, and you can't take away too many experienced herdsmen... If it's really difficult, I'll give priority to recruitment. ”
Sima Chengen and the others were overjoyed, although Li Kang did not explicitly agree, but it was enough to have this sentence, and it reduced their pressure by seventy percent at once.
[It seems that I will find time to summon a group of troops, and the proportion of people in the army who can ride horses is much higher...]
To be honest, Li Kang has not summoned an organized army for a long time, because he feels that the habits in the ancient feudal army are not good, there are too many ruffians, and it is easy to bring bad to the good atmosphere that the Huaxia army has built up with great difficulty, and the effect is far inferior to recruiting and retraining from the civilian population.
......
Fuxi County, Taozhu Town.
Fuxi County as a whole is a long strip in the north-south direction, from the southernmost Fuxi Town to the northernmost Xiangao Town, the total length of the north and south is more than 130 li, and the widest point of the east and west is only about 40 li, Taozhu Town is located in the northwest corner of Fuxi County, the position is only more east than the plain town located in the south of it.
Of course, if Wuyang Town and Wuyin Town can be assigned to Fuxi County in the future, then Fuxi County will change from a hemp stalk to dough.
And now that the whole of Fuxi County is rushing for this matter, the county order Tie Xuan is even more imperative to do this.
On Huaxia Avenue in Taozhu Town, a public carriage moves slowly under the exquisite driving skills of the groom, and the bell hanging on the corner of the canopy of the car makes a jingling crisp bell with the carriage moving forward, fluttering in the wind, indicating that pedestrians should pay attention to the carriage passing by and should avoid it as soon as possible to prevent traffic jams or even accidents.
"Hehe, homesickness, it's finally here!"
Inside the carriage, near the door of the outermost, sat two young men dressed in the regular uniforms of Chinese officers, two of them looked at the familiar street scene outside through the window, talking and laughing with great interest.
As long as the other passengers looked at the rank of their neckline, a lieutenant and a second lieutenant, they all showed envy and respect, and some elderly uncles and aunts even looked at them with a look of "mother-in-law looking at son-in-law", thinking that it would be good if their daughter/granddaughter could catch them.
They have seen this kind of look a lot, and they used to blush and be embarrassed, but now they are all experienced in a hundred battles, and they can already be as immobile as the wind.
"Master, please stop at the mouth of the locust tree alley in front of you, and suddenly the second lieutenant in it shouted outside at the top of his voice.
"All right!" said the coachman, and began to pull the reins of the horse, slowing the horse down, and soon the public carriage came to a steady stop, exactly at the mouth of the alley.
The public carriage was paid as soon as they got on the bus, so after the carriage stopped, the two just said thank you to the groom, and walked down the alley with their luggage.
Locust Tree Lane, named after a big locust tree planted at the mouth of both alleys, this alley of less than 200 meters, there are more than 30 families lined up on both sides, which is a relatively dense residential point in Taozhu Town.
It is clear that two of the families belonged to these two officers.
"Brother Valuable, do you want to go directly to my house next, or go home first?" After the two entered the alley, the second lieutenant turned his head and asked his companion, "You live alone in your house, you have lived in the barracks for many years, and no one has to clean it up, it must be full of cobwebs and dust, and it will be a good toss to go back, we only have two days off, or go to my house, and stay directly at night, anyway, my father and my mother didn't treat you as an outsider... And, hehe, my little sister must be very happy if she knows that you are back!" As he spoke, the second lieutenant also showed a smile of "you know", and he was also speechless, his sister cared more about others than his own brother, and he didn't know how he laughed, and you sold your sister too thoroughly, right?
However, the lieutenant was obviously very familiar with him, and he didn't think there was anything strange about it, and his face was slightly embarrassed when he heard this, but his eyes were full of expectation, obviously a little moved, but then he still shook his head and said, "Forget it, your big family is already very crowded, and it's too inconvenient to stuff me with another one... If Xiao Wu also comes back, maybe you will have to go to my house to sleep!" Of course, in his heart, he hoped that Xiao Mei would go to his house to sleep.
"Whatever you want!" said the lieutenant, shaking his hand, "just remember to come to dinner at noon." ”
"Remember, I don't know how to cook!" said the lieutenant, of course.
The two of them had already gone far after talking, and at this time, the neighbors who had gone out finally found the two of them, and hurriedly shouted: "Ah, our two future generals in Huaishu Lane are back!"
Fortunately, it's work time, and there aren't many people staying at home, otherwise with his voice, it would be difficult to ensure that the entire alley will not be alarmed.
These two people are the pride of Huaishu Lane, and they are also the two people with the highest status who walked out of Huaishu Lane.
"Uncle Liu, why are you free to be at home today?" The eyes of the two were drawn by this voice, and when they found out that they were acquaintances, both of them had smiles on their faces, and the second lieutenant was obviously more lively, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Hey, don't mention it, it's just a minor illness, and the factory director drove me back, in fact, I'm so delicate, I can wait until tomorrow weekend to rest, make a fuss... A day's wages!" At the mention of this, "Uncle Liu" complained with a painful face.
The two officers didn't care, they were old neighbors for many years, and no one knew what kind of temperament they had with each other, this "Uncle Liu" was a fan of money and a dead buckle, and this one day's salary was not similar to asking him for half his life.
"Eh, I said precious, Xiaowen, why are you two boys free to come back today?"
"The army is on a rotational break, no, the two of us just caught up with it, so we came back together to take a look. "It was still the second lieutenant who answered.
"Hey, Lao Ke's family is in good health!" Uncle Liu sighed, and then prepared to go to the street with his hands behind his back, "Don't bother the two of you, go back quickly, your mother should be at home." ”
"Then you go slowly!" said the lieutenant laughed.
"Let's go!"
After a while, the two of them walked to a white brick house, with a large courtyard surrounded by a white wall, which was the Ke family, that is, the second lieutenant's home, and further on, four families approached the other end of the alley, and there was a slightly smaller house, all of which were similar in style, which was the left family, that is, the lieutenant's house.
These two people, one is called Zuo Guigui and the other is Ke Wen.
