Chapter 59 Entering the Army
A big young man with the appearance of a general on the arbored island is patrolling the island with a small team of soldiers, the sea breeze in early spring is still a little biting, a small man seems to be a little unbearable to this sea breeze, after thinking for a long time, he still said: "General, we have only come to this Daqu Island, but we have patrolled this island dozens of times in six or seven days, do you think this is necessary?" ”
I saw that the young general smiled slightly, and said comfortingly: "Naturally, there is a need for this, we can only be sure to keep them out of the country when we are familiar with every inch of land here, Xiaojie, don't complain, didn't I accompany you on patrol?" ”
The soldier named Xiaojie couldn't help but defend when he heard this: "General, I didn't say that this Zhoushan Islands has never been the focus of the Eastern Japanese plunder, is it really useful for us to garrison troops here?" If I had known that there were heavy troops in Zhoushan, I would have abandoned Zhejiang and gone straight to Fujian. "What Xiao Jie said is not unreasonable, with the length of the coastline of the Great Zhou, the Japanese are holding the purpose of plundering, and it is possible to attack any of them.
The young general couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Xiaojie, although you are clever, you still don't know how to use soldiers, no matter what point the Japanese invade on the southern coast of my Great Zhou, this East China Sea is the place he must pass through, I don't stand here just for the sake of the dispute between one island and one place, but to use this Zhoushan Islands as a base to control the sea power of the East China Sea, so that the Japanese people will not be able to come and go!" Behind us are thousands of people of Da Zhou, just so that they can live and work in peace and contentment and avoid disasters, this Daqu Island must be defended even if it cannot be defended! The young general who spoke was also Xue Qing.
Xue Qing was originally born in Jiangmen, although he was once in the market, but in his bones, how could he have lacked the determination to revive the lintel? He befriended Shen Zhen from Suzhou, and then went to Jinling with him. These days, his most important thing is how to find a suitable time to return to the army.
As the so-called emperor lives up to his hard work, in the middle of the year, Yang Zhiqing, who had made a three-year appointment with Shen Jin, came to Jinling. The most fearful and hard-working master in the world, Ren Xue Qing couldn't imagine that when the merry Shen saw the woman who was not stunning, he trembled with excitement, and his lips that had been moving for a long time couldn't even spit out a word.
However, a young general surnamed Xin who was traveling with Yang Zhiqing was quite eye-catching, and pulled Xue Qing to run to drink, which saved the embarrassment of the little lovers.
Xue Qing saw that the young man was talking with everyone, and he was originally a little ashamed of himself. It was only when it was time to drink that I found out that this young man who had not yet reached the crown was actually a lover of personality. And Xue Qing had lived in the market for a long time, and when he saw that the young man was not despised because of his low background, he had a lot of intimacy. After only one day, the two drank and wrestled and became friends who talked about everything.
From the chat between the two, Xue Qing learned that the young man surnamed Xin's real name is You'an, a person from Shandong, and he came to Jinling this time to be ordered to train a naval army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang after the year. In today's situation, Xue Qing has no shame to report his family, but the young man is quite heroic, seeing that he is quite familiar with the affairs of the army, he sincerely invited him to go to the army together.
Jinling commanded the embassy, and Shen Zhen waited for Feng Yu in the hall with the two of them. If it is not easy to enter this mansion, Xin Youan led the three of them to go to the mansion together and was almost blown away by the soldiers as a climbing relationship, after all, there are too many people who come to the door with the so-called recommendation letter every day. This is to show Shen Dashao's face, when the soldiers were about to drive people away, a sharp-eyed saw Shen Zhen also hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute in it, the Shen family's reputation in Jinling is too big, everyone saw that he was coming and hurriedly apologized and admitted his mistake and hurriedly let him into the mansion. For this matter, Xue Qing and You'an also praised Shen Dashao, which made Shen Zhen very embarrassed.
Feng Yu came to the hall a few days later, but saw that this person was about thirty-four or five years old, although his body was not very burly, he had the momentum of a person in a high position, although he was dressed in civilian clothes, he was noble. Shen Zhen and Feng Yu knew each other, Feng Yu also exchanged a few polite words with him, and then Shen Zhen introduced Xue Qing and You'an to him, Feng Yu also politely exchanged a few words with the two, and then asked Shen Jin: "Brother Shen Xian doesn't know what advice you have at Feng's mansion today?" ”
Shen Zhen hurriedly replied with a smile when he heard this: "Lord Feng, I really killed Ziyu, Ziyu also came to the door this time to ask Lord Yu for something." With that, he glanced at You'an.
This is the case in the army, although no one dares to disobey military orders, but the relationship between them and the one who should go is indispensable. Originally, this appointment was signed by Yang Zhiqing herself, and it was most suitable for her to come, but Jinling was where the Shen family was located after all, so Shen Zhen took over the errand as a substitute cook.
Seeing this, You'an hurriedly took out the letter from his arms, stepped forward and handed it to Feng Yu with both hands. Feng Yu opened the letter and saw that it was the little junior sister, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his confidence.
It turned out that Feng Yu was the son of Yang Xiong's deputy general, and his father died on the battlefield of the anti-Hu war, and his mother was martyred, leaving only this only son. Yang Xiong saw that he was pitiful, so he took him into his door, not only raised him as an adult, but also taught him martial arts and the art of war. Although Feng Yu is a loyal person, his talent is not high, and although Yang Xiong's intentions are taught, he is only a general, and he will be embarrassed in the end. However, he has been fighting with Yang Xiong since he was a child, and he has accumulated a lot of military exploits over the years, and his character is modest and steady, and he is deeply favored by the emperor every time he enters the court.
Although Feng Yu is far away, he does not forget to repair books and prepare gifts for his mentor during the two festivals a year (Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year's Eve). Therefore, although the two of them are called master and apprentice, they are like father and son. The little junior sister Yang Zhiqing was watched by Feng Yu growing up, her young companion often pestered Feng Yu to play with her, Feng Yu is an honest character, and his patience is also surprisingly good, every time he has free time, he will play with his little junior sister, and later after receiving the silver, he often buys her some novelties, so the relationship between the two is also the best.
At this time, Feng Yu looked at Xin You'an while looking at the letter, which made You'an a little embarrassed, Feng Yu read the letter, laughed and asked, "Xin You'an, General Xin?" ”
When You'an heard this, he immediately clenched his fists and responded: "The subordinates are here!" ”
Feng Yu looked him up and down again, but saw that he was dignified and majestic. Combined with the little sister's praise for him in the letter, he also nodded and said in his heart: He is also a first-class talent. After thinking about it, he asked, "I don't know what position the general wants to do in this Jinling City?" With that, he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
"Serve the country in the army, regardless of position!" You'an said with his head held high.
Feng Yu was drinking tea, and when he heard this, he almost squirted out the tea, but he smiled and said, "Since you want to join the army, why didn't you go to the border with my senior sister Zhiqing that day?" ”
At this time, Shen Zhen knew that there was something else in his thoughts when he heard this, and he laughed and said: "There is no distinction between north and south to serve the country, and there is the Yang family in the land of Sanguan, but there is no fight!" ”
Feng Yu nodded approvingly when he heard this, and after a little thinking in his heart, he said: "Liangjiang Town Fu Shi Jiang Yinchuan is my old friend, and he has been worried about the anti-Japanese affairs recently, if the three of you are interested, I can repair a letter and vote for him first?" ”
When the three of them heard that Feng Yu was willing to help, they were all overjoyed, and hurriedly clasped their fists and said in unison: "It's up to the adults to arrange!" ”
Four and a few polite words, the three of them turned around and said goodbye, at this time, Mrs. Feng saw that everyone had left, so she turned out of the inner hall, gently pinched Feng Yu's shoulders and asked, "My lord, the concubine just heard that the little junior sister has a letter arrived?" ”
Feng Yu couldn't help laughing when he heard his wife's question: "Well, I haven't seen this girl for many years, but I miss her a little!" ”
