Chapter 112: Autumn House Talk

Tong Kan took Qin Zhen's reply to the date of the war horse transaction will be returned to Fengxiang Mansion, Qin Zhen set the date at the beginning of November, there are still twenty days before now, this is the result of Qin Zhen and Guo Wei and Tong'an Town's group of people in charge, this time is still a little hasty for Qin Zhen and Tong'an Town, but if it is a little later, the harsh winter on the right side of Longyou is coming, if there is another heavy snowfall, the road is blocked, the transaction of war horses may be shelved until the beginning of spring next year, which is not allowed by Fengxiang Mansion, It is also not allowed by Qin Town, and Tong'an Town is still waiting for these silver to save his life.

Chen Luosheng took people to Fengxiang Mansion with Tong Kan, in addition to serving as a liaison between Tong'an Town and Fengxiang Mansion to coordinate the transaction of war horses between the two sides, and more importantly, to discuss the sale of refined salt and future cooperation between the two sides.

Although the city walls of Tong'an Town are still mottled, the current Tong'an Town is very different from when Qin Town first saw Tong'an Town, and the biggest difference is the number of people in Tong'an Town and their spiritual outlook.

Through the attraction of land division and land reclamation, the number of registered people in Tong'an Town has reached 1,562 households and 8,546 people, which is close to the population of Tong'an Town at its peak.

Although they are still dressed in shabby clothes, although they still do not have enough to eat, but unlike before, their hearts are full of vitality, because each family has been allocated their own land, and with land, they can grow food, which means that they can eat and have clothes, so they are full of hope for the future.

Under the coordination and organization of Han Wenzhi, the men of Tong'an Town began to repair and build houses on a large scale, and the women also went up the mountain to chop firewood under the leadership of Han Ruoyun and prepare firewood for the winter, in order to cope with the next harsh winter.

The Flying Eagle Regiment has also entered the most rigorous military training, and now the Flying Eagle Regiment has more than 200 recruits, Meng Xuan, as the former captain of the border military academy, is the training bishop, Wen Han as the deputy instructor, assisting and cooperating with Meng Xuan's training, except for these two, all the members of the Flying Eagle Regiment, including Qin Zhen, are trainees.

At the beginning of the hour, the training of battle formations, queues, and passwords was carried out, and after two hours, it was the training of physical fitness and endurance, each person carried at least thirty pounds, and carried out a long-distance run of twenty miles, and then carried out riding training in batches, Meng Xuan and Wen Han also planned to maximize their benefits before the fifty war horses were traded.

From the beginning of the afternoon, it is the training of martial arts skills, because now the main weapons of the Flying Eagle Regiment are horizontal knives and simple knives, so Meng Xuan mainly teaches fists and feet and knife techniques, and also allows everyone to train archery, in this regard, Meng Xuan, Xue Yuan, Yang Xiaoqi and Xue Jing became instructors, Meng Xuan and Xue Yuan taught everyone fists and feet and weapons, and Yang Xiaoqi and Xue Jing taught everyone archery.

What Qin Zhen didn't expect was that Xue Jing's archery skills were very good, even better than Yang Xiaoqi, and Xue Jing was more disciplined than Yang Xiaoqi when shooting arrows, according to Xue Yuan's words, Xue Jing's talent in archery was much higher than him.

Different from Xue Yuan's family martial arts, Meng Xuan's knife technique has a strong military style, simpler, and more fierce, knives and knives are deadly killer moves, can kill the enemy with one move, and never effortlessly use the second knife, although the two are inseparable in martial arts, but Meng Xuan's knife technique is more suitable for these recruits who do not have any martial arts foundation, so Xue Yuan will bishop fists and feet, and Meng Xuan bishop will use weapons.

After the training of martial arts skills, after dinner, it is half an hour of entertainment time, in various forms, some people perform their own stunts, some people tell their feelings about joining the army, and sometimes Qin Zhen, Wen Han and others teach everyone to read and write, there are two main purposes for doing this, one is to let everyone recover their physical strength, and the other is because such a high-intensity training is bound to make some recruits have inner restlessness and depression, so that the entertainment activity can also give everyone an outlet.

After the entertainment time was over, taking advantage of the hazy night, it was another twenty-mile weight-bearing long-distance run, and the weight-bearing long-distance running was proposed by Qin Zhen, and Qin Zhen made such a proposal because of the deep impression of the two-legged running over the wheels of the car in later generations.

Such high-intensity training made these recruits miserable, but when they saw that Qin Zhen, who was the captain of the school, was also training with them, there was no preferential treatment at all, and the training level was more stringent than them, they carried thirty catties, Qin Zhen carried forty catties, and Meng Xuan and Xue Yuan and others were even worse, with a weight of sixty catties, which was twice as much as theirs. So no matter how hard they work, they have no excuse to complain and slack off, so they can only grit their teeth and persevere.

At this moment, they are extremely nostalgic for the days when the wasteland was cleared, how comfortable and happy it was, but they were still bent on military training at that time.

Just when the training of the Flying Eagle Regiment was in full swing, in a house not far from the official residence of the Fengxiang Mansion Jiedu Envoy, Tong Kan was respectfully reporting the situation to a man in front of him.

Although this house is very close to the official residence of the Jiedu Envoy, but it is different from the open and spectacular of the official residence, the house is not very large, surrounded by green trees, it seems extremely quiet, and there is a wooden plaque hanging on the main door of the house, with two big characters on it: autumn house.

The man in front of Tong Kan was thin, his face looked a little whiter than ordinary people, his face looked slightly narrower than ordinary people, the bridge of his nose was high, his eyes were deep, and his cheeks were beardless, but the beard on his chin was very thick.

There is only one person who can make Tong Kan so respectful in the autumn house, and that is the current owner of this house, the marching Sima of Fengxiang Mansion, the first think tank under Li Congcao's account, Qiu Weiran.

After listening to all the reports of Tong Kan's trip to Longxi, Qiu Weiran sat on the Taishi chair and pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "According to what you say, this Weizhou Zhichong Mansion Captain Qin Zhen is really an amazing person, he saw the fundamental problem of people's livelihood at a glance, not only knowledge, but also courage, just arrived in Weizhou without a foundation and no connections, he dared to go beyond the division of land and open up wasteland, only this one thing, its pattern is open, the mind is keen, and the courage is outstanding, which can be seen. ”

Tong Kan very agreed: "Yes, although Qin Zhen is only a teenager, but his eyes are vicious, the depth of his mind is far from being comparable to me, on the way to Longxi with Meng Xuan and Chen Luosheng, I have never revealed the true purpose of this trip, but as soon as I arrived in Tong'an Town, I haven't communicated with him much, he guessed the real purpose of my entry into Longxi, to be honest, he tentatively said the purpose of my trip at that time, I was really shocked. Originally, I was extremely surprised to see a handsome young man of fifteen or sixteen years old who had become a lieutenant of Zhichong Mansion, but after I came into contact with him later, I was a little frightened, and the more I came into contact with him, the more I couldn't see through him, and I felt that there was something on him that was very similar to the military advisor, but I couldn't tell what it was. ”

Although Qiu Weiran's current position is the marching Sima of Fengxiang Mansion, within Fengxiang Mansion, his subordinates are more accustomed to calling him a military advisor.

Qiu Weiran smiled slightly: "This is where Qin Zhen has a wide pattern and a keen mind, he must be from the battle of Hedong, which has the most influence today, the location of our Fengxiang Mansion, and your dignified Qishan Zhichong Mansion captain actually ran to Longxi to negotiate for fifty war horses, these things have nothing to do on the surface, but there is a hidden bond behind it, he grabbed the link, and it is not surprising that he can guess the true purpose of your trip to Longxi." However, in this world, how many people can keenly grasp this bond. ”

Tong Kan said with regret: "Such a character, it would be great if he could come to our Fengxiang Mansion, I think as long as the military advisor is here, he will definitely be able to show his ambitions in Fengxiang Mansion, I have explicitly hinted at him several times, but unfortunately, whenever he talks about this topic, he always changes the topic, and he doesn't match this conversation at all." Don't talk about Qin Zhen, even those people under him are not interested in the solicitation I proposed at all, just say that Meng Xuan, in Weizhou is just a team, I once hinted to him, as long as he comes to Fengxiang Mansion, at least sit on the position of colonel, but he just smiled and seemed unmoved, I don't understand, in terms of wealth and strength, our Fengxiang Mansion is not known how many times better than a barren Weizhou, why are they willing to be a team leader in a small Tong'an Town, or even an ordinary sergeant, And not interested in the favorable conditions offered by our Fengxiang Mansion? ”

Qiu Weiran sighed: "Some people can be tempted, but some people can't be tempted, and such people are exactly what we need the most, I didn't expect that a small Tong'an Town would gather a group of such people." A person like Qin Zhen, he has great ambitions and ambitions, even if he really arrives in our Fengxiang Mansion, I think sooner or later he will leave, because our Fengxiang Mansion can't give him a platform to display his ambitions, I can't give it, and I can't give it to Duke Cao. ”

Tong Kan was a little confused: "I didn't see much ambition in Qin Zhen, and I also tested him, he also said that the land in Weizhou is barren and can't grow big trees, and I don't think he has any intention of leaving Weizhou, if we Fengxiang Mansion can't support Qin Zhen's ambitions, how can the barren and dilapidated Weizhou support his ambitions?" ”

Qiu Weiran said softly: "If you can see the ambition and ambition in his heart, then he is not worthy of my attention; It is true that the land in Weizhou is barren, but hasn't he already started to cultivate the land and cultivate the land, Longyou may not be able to grow big trees now, but maybe in the future. ”
