Chapter 59: Clues
He said that he passed day by day. Under Lei Bao's meticulous training every day, Mo Cong's progress has been a thousand miles.
Less than a month after arriving at the leopard camp, Mo Cong had basically learned to ride a horse, and he immediately slashed, archery, and played with guns and sticks. After more than a month, Mo Cong also had a basic understanding of the Ninety-Nine Formation, and he was already able to practice collectively with everyone.
During this period, Long Wu was also very helpful to Mo Cong. In addition to brushing Mo Cong's horse every day, Long Wu also took the initiative to teach Mo Cong various things, and whenever he had spare time, he practiced various tactical moves with Mo Cong on the horse.
The other veterans saw that Mo Cong's mouth was not stupid, and when they saw that Mo Cong had such and such flaws when he was practicing, they would also point out one or two.
In this way, Mo Cong completely integrated into the general environment of the leopard camp.
Through regular contact with everyone, Mo Cong not only learned a lot of old news about Ruiguo, but also overheard a lot of gossip about the Central Army.
The Central Army originally had 600,000 horses, and this was just ordinary sergeants. If you add the officers above the small flag, then the total is nearly 700,000. As the saying goes, where there are people, there is gossip, and the Central Army has so many mouths, so there is naturally a lot of gossip.
Of course, those little-known soldiers naturally have nothing to gossip about. What everyone likes to talk about is gossip about the eighteen masters of the Central Army. The army is the place where the strong are most admired, and it is normal for everyone to talk about some strong men in the army in a reverent way.
There are a total of six of the eighteen masters of the Central Army who are distributed in the left guard. Everyone is a person from Zuowei, and they know the situation of Zuowei best, so the six people who talk about it the most are He Ming, Deng Yong, Tan Bing, Xu Hu, Lei Bao, and Peng Tianhua.
He Ming is the third son of He Zizhang, the commander of the Ruiguo Southeast Army, a set of family heirloom archery techniques, and is now the deputy commander of the Central Army, in charge of the left guard.
Deng Yong is the fourth son of Deng Chengde, the commander of the Northwest Army of Sweden. Deng Yong was born with divine power, and a pair of meteor hammers were invincible and unstoppable. Now he is the deputy commander of the Central Army, in charge of the right guard.
Tan Bing, the second son of Tan Zhenyun, the former commander of the Northern Army of Ruiguo, and the descendant of Tan Leg of the Twelfth Road. Tan Bing, the former pipe band of the Tiger Battalion of the Left Guard, was unfortunately killed in the Battle of Juling Pass a few months earlier, at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve. Tan Bing has a sixteen-year-old son, Tan Xingyu, who is also in the Zuowei Leopard Battalion. This Tan Xingyu is very skilled, everyone praises him for being a young man, and he has inherited the legacy of his late father Tan Bing and has become a master of the new generation.
Xu Hu, the eldest son of Xu Shiqian, the current commander of the Ruiguo North Route Army, has a set of family heirlooms with unparalleled power. After Tan Bing's death, Xu Hu succeeded Tan Bing and took charge of the Tiger Battalion.
Peng Tianhua, the younger brother of Fang Tianhao, deputy commander of the Central Army, and the apprentice and godson of Xiao Zhengyang, the commander of the previous generation of the Central Army. Peng Tianhua's stunt is a set of 36-way deadly marksmanship, and this set of marksmanship is really deadly, and it is very powerful. Peng Tianhua is the pipe band of the Left Guard Pioneer Battalion, and the main weapon of his battalion is the spear, and the saber is a spare weapon, which can be regarded as the heavy armored lancer battalion in the Left Guard.
These five people were all born in military families, and they are veritable second-generation military families, and their family backgrounds are extraordinary.
In contrast, Lei Leopard's background is more grassroots.
Lei Bao is an orphan like Mo Cong, without a prominent background in a military family, and without a high-ranking cattle relative, compared to the five people in front, he is considered a grassroots among the grassroots. But Lei Leopard's identity is very special, his master is famous in the whole world, and he is the first emperor of Rui Guo Hang Lu. And Lei Bao's eldest brother is not an outsider, it is the emperor of Ruiguo, Hang Xiao......
Mo Cong listened to it for a while, and Sen Sen came to a conclusion: The masters are all piled up with silver. The so-called poor and rich and rich are exactly this truth.
An archery master like He Ming has been honed since he was a child with the practice of breaking a golden bow in half a year and shooting 60,000 arrows a day. Like the meteor hammer used by Deng Yong, just that chain, ordinary people can't afford to buy it without eating or drinking for a lifetime, and as for the two glittering sledgehammers, they can be sold casually for a village to eat and drink for ten lifetimes.
And it is not so easy for a master to become a high-ranking general. In the Swiss [***] team, it doesn't mean that you can be a general if you have good skills.
In Ruiguo, the first condition for being a general is to be loyal to the imperial court, and then to have excellent command ability and management skills, and finally to be good, those who are not good can not convince the public, even if they are in the position of generals, they can't suppress those unruly veterans. These three conditions can be said to be indispensable.
And He Ming, Deng Yong and others, these three conditions are all met.
First of all, they were born into a military family, and their ancestors were all Swiss [***] people for six or seven generations or even ten generations, and their loyalty can be described as long-tested. And because his family itself is an important minister of the court and a vested interest in the Rui Kingdom, it is not easy to mess around.
Secondly, the parents and grandparents of these people are not only Swedish [***] people, but all of them are senior generals of the Swedish army. Growing up in such a family environment, these people have been strictly nurtured by their parents since they were young, and their military command ability and military management literacy are not even a little higher than those of ordinary children from families.
Third, these people are all masters carefully cultivated by various families, and they are definitely the best in a million in terms of skills alone. Evergrande, the strong man in the barracks, let such a powerful person be the general, and the people below will not have any dissatisfaction.
Therefore, the identities of the six masters of the left guard and the senior generals of the third battalion of the left guard coincide.
Of course, the promotion channel of the Rui [***] team is not completely closed, and the senior generals are not only selected among the children of these families. For hundreds of years, there have been countless high-ranking generals from civilian families in the Rui [***] team, and the proportion of high-ranking generals is not small. It's just that relatively speaking, the children of these families are more dominant than the children of the common people.
Through such understanding and thinking, Mo Cong has a general understanding of the situation of the Central Army of the Swiss State and even the entire Swiss [***] team. From this aspect of understanding and analysis, Mo Cong believes that the Zuo Wei 3rd Battalion in front of him is very stable, and there is no chaos that he heard and imagined before coming. The reason why the 3rd Battalion of the Left Guards is stable is precisely because there is such a group of strong and loyal senior generals who support the ship and rudder.
In addition to listening to gossip, Mo Cong also asked some about the past and current situation of the Rui [***] team, hoping to find some clues about the old man from it. It's a pity that the information asked is too fragmented and can't be strung together at all. Except for the stone in the camp, Mo Cong did not find any traces related to the old man. Sometimes Mo Cong quietly found out of the barracks and searched outside the station, but he didn't find anything.
Chen Ruoping sent a note back through the Flying Pigeon Messenger, saying that his friend had used a lot of manpower and material resources to find it, but he did not find the person Mo Cong they were looking for in the capital. Now that the scope of the search has been expanded to the counties and provinces around the capital, please Mo Cong and them wait patiently for a while.
