Chapter 601: Wang Shouren returns
It seems that such a day of eating meat with an open stomach can only be done once. If you eat like this every day, then even if Ji'an Mansion is rich, you will have to be poor.
Fortunately, Fang Hong also knew that he was satisfied, after eating this meal, not only did he not ask Ji'an Mansion to send meat again, on the contrary, he didn't even ask for a grain of food.
This was mainly because Fang Hong's grain was too abundant, and it was all high-quality rice. In the past six months, the rice has basically matured every half a month, and the grain they have laid is enough for these 5,000 people to eat for several years.
This time, they only carried about 30% of the food, but it was enough for them to eat rice every day. It's much better than the other soldiers who ate the chaff.
Fang Hong and the others stayed in the city for three days, and after three days, Wang Shouren returned.
Wang Shouren came back from Ganzhou, and when he came back, he also brought a thousand sailor battalions. Nowadays, the guard system of the Ming Dynasty has been very erosive, and the battalion soldiers are different, the battalion soldiers are all recruited soldiers, with sufficient training and excellent equipment, and their combat effectiveness far exceeds those of the guard soldiers.
As soon as he returned, he realized that something was not quite right. There are 5,000 more elites in the city, and the city gate is also very messy, and there are still traces of this battle.
Although Wu Wending was ashamed in his heart, he still told Wang Shouren about the matter here. In fact, this matter is also quite embarrassing, they have more than 10,000 soldiers in the city, and there are cities to defend, but they were all taken by the other party without any damage.
"It's actually the troops under King Ning who surrendered to Cheng?" Wang Shouren heard this, but there was not much emotional change, and with his qi cultivation skills, there would not be too many mood swings.
"After these people entered the city, did they ever disturb the people?" However, from the analysis of this behavior a few days ago, it can be seen that the general of the other party leading the army is a lawless character, and if he does evil in the city unscrupulously, he will definitely not be spared.
"This ...... It wasn't like that, but the day before, we were clamoring for wine and meat, and we had been killing and searching for a long time before we could barely get enough meat. Wu Wending thought of the events of that day, and felt a little angry in his heart, how many people couldn't even eat enough, but those people ate so much meat in one meal.
"Go, show me. Wang Shouren's brows furrowed, and he wondered a little in his heart, it stands to reason that such a lawless army will definitely have military discipline erosive, but after entering the city for three days, he did not commit any crimes, which is a little intriguing, and he wants to see the general.
"Drink. "The place where Fang Hong and the others lived, there was no wide place, and the soldiers under his command all stood on the nearby streets for training. Several streets were occupied by these five thousand people, with hundreds of people in columns, eight feet apart, armed with long knives, and slashing like sweat.
Everyone's movements were almost the same, and when the knife was drawn, they shouted loudly, even from a long distance, they could hear the sound here. At this moment, it is the middle of June, the hottest time, the strong sun shines your eyes dizzy, ordinary people stand under the sun for a long time feel like heat stroke, but these people are gritting their teeth and persevering.
The team of 5,000 people broke through the sky, and some soldiers in tattered clothes shrank in the corner, looking at these people with envy, no wonder people can break the city in an hour, the gap in combat effectiveness is too big. However, they can only watch with their eyes, if they are allowed to practice like this, it will never work. Because they can't even eat, how can they have this strength training, if they are strong, I am afraid that it will be less than half a month, and they will have to become human.
"Okay, a mighty army, rare in the world, with the help of these 5,000 people, we will definitely be able to break through Nanchang City!" Standing in the distance, Wang Shouren stopped, looked at the lion and tiger-like figures, and praised loudly.
"Although this army is powerful, it is not in our hands, and if we refuse to do it when the time comes, it will also be a troublesome matter for us. Wu Wending followed the side, and he also admitted that this army was very powerful, but the disobedience of these people was a headache.
Wang Shouren smiled, still standing still, the sun was scorching, and after a while, his head was sweating. Wu Wending wanted to ask the governor to hide in the shade for a while, but Wang Shouren ignored it.
Come on, the governor didn't leave, he had to watch here, he was wearing an official uniform, which was thick, at this time, he only felt sweaty, very uncomfortable.
About half an hour later, the drill was over, and dozens of soldiers brought buckets of salt water from a distance. These salt water are sprinkled with a lot of fine salt after the river water is boiled, and it is left outside to dry for a while, which is warm at this time, and drinking it can replenish energy.
This is another extremely extravagant behavior, you know, ordinary people, can only eat some coarse salt mixed with mud and sand clods, and dare not put too much in cooking, and these soldiers have to drink so much water boiled from fine salt once they practice, and the cost is too big. Wu Wending knew the inside story, and he felt a little distressed in his heart again.
In these years, Qiu Ba's life is worthless, it is very rough, even if you want to drink salt water, you only need to drink some coarse salt water, why waste fine salt.
Wu Wending felt distressed, but Fang Hong didn't care. Fang Hong is the god of water, he can control the water waves, he wants to get fine salt, it is too easy, as long as he directly finds a seaside and extracts it at will, he can get a large amount of fine salt.
If he wanted to sell salt, he would be able to amass a lot of wealth in a few years. However, this private salt trafficking is illegal, although Fang Hong doesn't care about Da Ming Law, he doesn't want to cause these troubles. After all, money really didn't mean much to him. Now there are two million taels of silver under the Gongjiang River.
"Let's go, let's go beg for a drink. Wang Shouren saw that the training of these soldiers was over, so he walked forward slowly. At this moment, he was a little soaked, after all, it was quite hot after standing in the sun for so long. Fortunately, although he is a civil official, he is not pampered, and his body is strong. Only Wu Wending, his figure was crumbling, and he only felt that his eyes were dazzled.
The two men didn't exercise much, they were so unbearable, and the soldiers were even more drenched from beginning to end, and many of them were covered with sweat, but their lips were dry, and they looked a little terrible.
"Line up, fetch water!" After an officer who looked like a hundred households shouted, all the soldiers spontaneously lined up and formed a long queue, one by one stepped forward to get bowls and drink water. Even if many people's throats are about to smoke, they still don't fight or grab, and the scene of thousands of people is silent but a little scary.
