Chapter 978: Dengzhou Goes to Sea
Xue Rengui sent Xue Ne on the expedition, and Li Qinzai was not surprised.
The Xue family is a general, Xue Rengui is a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, he is deeply respected by Li Zhiqi, the Xue family has military merits, titles and power, Xue Rengui categorically does not allow his son to become a real businessman.
It is acceptable to do business on weekdays and make some money for the family, once the war comes, or if there is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, Xue Rengui will never let it go, and he will kick Xue Ne, a rebel, into the army as soon as possible, and find an opportunity to make meritorious service by himself.
But since he threw his son into the barracks, what does it mean to arrange an official position for him?
I couldn't figure out Xue Rengui's deep meaning, maybe I was still afraid that Xue Ne would have three strengths and two weaknesses on the battlefield, so he arranged an official position that was not too dangerous.
How good is the official who manages the horse, arranges for the soldiers to feed the horses on weekdays, wash and scrub, and do not have to charge on the horse in wartime, even if the army is defeated, he is not afraid, and the officer in charge of the horse is still afraid of no horse to ride? When something is wrong, he turns over as soon as he gets on the horse, and the smoke is gone.
"Since your father has to let you mix in with the army, I won't stop you, feed my horses well, don't let the horses go hungry, say hello when you steal peaches, you make the fixation method steal peaches, I lift the skirt of the seven fairies to see the color......"
Xue Ne looked at him inexplicably: "What do you mean?" ”
"It's nothing, the officials who manage the horses are very good, throughout the ages, in the sky and on the ground, the officials who manage the horses are the most promising, and if you are not careful, you will be a Monkey King, I am very optimistic about your future." Li Qinzai patted him on the shoulder and smiled.
Xue Ne smiled, but Li Qinzai's face suddenly sank.
"I have an account I want to calculate with Brother Shen Yanxian, you are doing business in the army, for the sake of our friendship, I can turn a blind eye, but you just sell dog skin plasters, take me as an example, what's the matter, without your medicine, I can't be a big man in the world, a great man?"
Li Qinzai stared at him, his gaze was very unkind.
Xue Ne's neck shrank, his expression suddenly became a little empty, and his eyes kept blinking.
"Uh, Brother Jing Chu, please listen to the foolish brother's quibbles......"
Li Qinzai smiled: "You said, if you don't give me a perfect explanation today, military law will not be merciful, and twenty military sticks will not be able to run." ”
"It has become a habit for the foolish brother to do business, and when he first joined the army, he didn't adapt to it for a while, so he said a few nonsense words......"
Li Qinzai's eyes narrowed: "It shouldn't be a fake medicine you're selling, right?" In the army, Jinchuang medicine is not trivial, it is a life-saving thing for the soldiers, if you dare to sell fake medicine, your father will not be able to protect you. ”
Xue Ne suddenly became upright, and said proudly: "It's definitely not a fake medicine!" The foolish brother swears by the hair of the whole family, the golden medicine is absolutely true, the foolish brother bought a large number of goods before the army, and personally inspected it, if there is a trace of adulteration, the foolish brother will compensate you with the head of the item! ”
"I am also a disciple of the generals, and my father is also a leading general, how dare I joke with the life and death of the soldiers? In order to make money, you can't be a sinner for the ages. ”
Li Qinzai squinted his eyes and said: "What kind of spicy hand destroys the little overlord of the golden gun after applying the medicine, is it also true?" ”
Xue Ne's eyes suddenly dodged a little: "Uh, this...... It's a bit exaggerated, of course Jinchuang medicine is used to stop bleeding, it is impossible to use it in that regard, who believes who is stupid, the foolish brother said this, it is nothing more than to brag a few words and sell the medicine......"
Li Qinzai sighed, okay, I believe that he is selling real medicine, but the way he sells drugs is really like a fake drug dealer, which makes people not suspicious.
"As for me, I am the commander of the first army, although you and I are brothers in private, but the military law is ruthless, and there is no favoritism, if I turn a blind eye to your actions today, I will not be able to convince ......the public in the future."
Li Qinzai smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Ten military sticks, go to the military law inspector to receive them, take the military sticks to recuperate, and I will send you some mutton to make up for it when I go back." ”
Xue Ne cried and said with a sad face: "Brother Jing Chu, the foolish brother knows that he is wrong, can you spare me this time?" ”
"Isn't your golden medicine very effective? After taking a military stick, I tried it myself, and I used your medicine, and a group of mothers-in-law in my backyard couldn't suppress my fire. ”
】
Xue Ne is a disciple of the general, of course, he also knows military law, since he has committed it, there is no reason to be spared, so he had to bow his head dejectedly, turned around and went out of the handsome tent to find someone to beat his ass.
…………
Leaving Chang'an to the east, half a month later arrived in Luoyang.
The army rested in Luoyang for two days, replenished the grain and grass, and then continued to march to Dengzhou.
In late spring and early summer, after Qingming, 10,000 troops rushed to the outside of Dengzhou.
Dengzhou is one of the few harbor cities in the Tang Dynasty, and when Li Qinzai's department arrived in Dengzhou, Dengzhou Port had gathered more than 100 sea ships, which were ordered by the Ministry of War to carry Li Qinzai's troops to the sea to the Japanese state.
In this era when transportation is not convenient, going to sea is not a trivial matter, from Dengzhou to Waguo, in terms of the current navigation conditions of Datang, it is considered to be an ocean.
Even nearly a hundred years later, there was a monk named Jianzhen who crossed to the east of the Wa Kingdom, and went through hardships and dangers six times before and after, which left a strong mark in the history books and became a compulsory knowledge point in the examination after a thousand years.
After Li Qinzai's troops arrived at Dengzhou City, they did not rush to board a boat to cross the sea, but ordered the whole army to camp outside the city to rest.
Traveling is just an ideal, and it is impossible for an individual or an army of 10,000 people to go.
First of all, grain, grass, ordnance, war horses, etc. are loaded on the ship first, and at the same time, it is necessary to observe the weather, hire an experienced guide, wait for a relatively stable weather, and then decide the day to go to sea.
The bad thing is that the climate at sea has not been stable recently, and officials from the Dengzhou Thorn Prefecture specially asked experienced fishermen, and the fishermen told the officials that the weather has been hot and humid recently, the tide is uneven, and the sea is full of black clouds, so it is best not to go to sea.
Lee did not hesitate to take the fisherman's word for it.
After living two lives, Li Qinzai has some life experience.
The first is not to believe too much in those glamorous bullshit experts who frequently show their faces, and the second is to believe in those who seem to be low-key and low-key, like Shaolin sweeping monks, and don't go against this kind of people.
Therefore, Li Qinzai chose to believe the advice of the fishermen in Dengzhou without saying a word.
People have been fishing on the beach for generations, and the climate of the sea has long been controlled by them.
After resting outside the city for two days, as expected, the sea near Dengzhou was stormy, lightning and thunder, and the sea was like a black monster, ruthlessly devouring everything on the sea.
Li Qinzai's little heart was beating wildly, and he was secretly glad in his heart.
Fortunately, I listened to the advice of the fishermen, otherwise the army would have boarded the boat and gone to sea, and the end would have been annihilation.
This is not a "death before leaving the school", the nature is not so tragic, but the death is as light as a feather, and the nest is extreme.
