? Chapter 15 Selling favors and causing conflicts

Brad and his subordinates were sent by Yu Feng, and the symbolic meaning was more than practical, so although it was a combat configuration, considering the transportation factor, basically, there were no horses or anything like that in the team of 2,000 people.

In addition to the armor, they look neat and mighty, in fact, the weapons in their hands are also five 'flowers' and eight 'gates'. However, this has always been the tradition of the training camp, and compared with Yu Feng's lineage, they require more discipline than formation, after all, in terms of the quality of individual soldiers, they are generally higher than the phalanx soldiers, and if they are restrained by formation, they will undoubtedly abandon their strengths.

Therefore, their weapons include large swords and long swords, as well as clubs and hammers, and those who are good at using muskets are long and short firearms, and if they do not work this armor, these people seem to be better than thieves.

When Velasco was building the army, he wanted to build his subordinates into a team of knights on the mainland, but unfortunately, the excellent war horses really couldn't fall into his hands, and Yu Feng himself still lacked good war horses, where was there anything missing for him. In desperation, he had no choice but to develop his subordinates on the side of the foot knight.

Since it is a walking knight, this armor is more demanding, a good set of plate armor, the lightest is forty or fifty pounds, plus the weight of the weapon, this is really a strength job, for the physical strength of these walking knights, it is undoubtedly a major test. It is necessary to have sufficient protection and reduce the load, and the cost of armor must not be too high. Then, the combination of leather armor and chain mail is his best choice.

In addition to the vital parts behind the 'chest' are lined with steel sheets, the other parts are made of thick cowhide, and the joints are connected by iron sheets and steel chains, so that the lightness and protection ability are taken into account. Finally, the armor was painted all over with black paint, and at a glance, it was not much different from the real iron armor. As for the face armor, it is a real thing, and it doesn't take much material to create these face armors, and it doesn't take much time to have those North Korean craftsmen in Seoul work together.

Therefore, when Burun came to the camp of the training camp, it was all those soldiers in black armor cruising in the camp, and the whole camp was quiet, without the slightest noise of the guards outside. This strong contrast between sight and hearing made Burun feel a little awe-inspiring.

He doesn't know soldiers, although he has read a few military books, but since he stepped into this officialdom, he has never led soldiers, but even if he has no such experience, he knows it very well in his heart, and regardless of the quality of the equipment, it is this military discipline, the 'spirit' spirit of this soldier, I am afraid that those guards outside are not as good as these soldiers in this camp.

"General Bu! This official is coming to 'disturb' you again! Seeing Brad standing at the 'door' of the big tent to greet him, Burun was still very satisfied, and smiled from afar, and his words were quite affectionate.

"Just call me Brad, Lord Bu is too polite!" Brad was a little helpless, he had already explained to the other party that he was not surnamed Bu, but it seemed that the other party didn't listen to him at all.

The two walked in, and Burun didn't sit down, but looked around.

"General Bu, what has been lacking in the army, the soldiers' quilts and military uniforms and the like, have been enough, if there is any need, although bluntly said, Bu Run should urge the prefect Ya 'Gate' and the Qing Army Ya 'Gate' to prepare for the army, so that General Pingyuan will not be able to suffer grievances on the ground in Tianjin! If General Pingyuan asks in the future, the official is speechless, then it will be embarrassing! ”

"For the time being, there is nothing missing, it's just that this grain and grass, on the ground in Tianjin, only allocates the amount of our army for three days at a time, which inevitably makes the grain officers in the army a little unaccustomed to it....." Brad replied casually, and suddenly felt that this Lord Bu seemed to be very familiar with his own general, and couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Lord Bu is the old 'friend' of my general?" ”

"So 'handover'?" Bu Run was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "If the people who have gone through the tribulation together are not considered to be 'friends', then my general and your family will only be generalized and 'friends'!" ”

Good guy, is this Lord Bu so enthusiastic, Brad has some clear feelings in his heart, dare to love, this is still an old friend of the general.

"That's Brad, I'm rude!" He straightened his clothes, clasped his fists again, and saluted: "I've seen Master Bu!" ”

Although the words were simple words, he had said this sentence to Burun before, but the taste of saying this at that time was very different from the taste of what he said at the moment.

Bu Run was very satisfied with his reaction, of course, he didn't need to prove to the other party that he was General Pingyuan in the old days, just to pick out this word, the next news he was going to say would have more weight, and the other party would pay more attention to it.

"Grain and grass are allocated every three days, this is no way, Zhu Hao still plans to pay it every day, to tell the truth, with the military appearance and military prestige of your army, if Tianjin does not take the slightest precautions, it is impossible, this, you will do it!"

He looked at Brad and saw that he didn't have much disappointment, knowing that the other party also figured out the reason, saying this at the moment is not enough to test himself, it doesn't matter if he succeeds or not.

"But I'm not here today for these things?" He groaned and said slowly.

"Lord Bu, please speak, since Lord Bu is our general's old 'friend', it is also for the good of our general, Brad listens to Lord Bu's teachings!"

"The Holy Decree arrived in Tianjin yesterday? If nothing else, tomorrow at the latest, this will be delivered to General Bu? ”

"Did you mobilize us to go to Beijing?" Brad asked as a matter of course, after all, their destination was Beijing, and Tianjin was just a temporary place to stay.

"If that's the case, I wouldn't have to make such a trip!" Bu Run shook his head, watching his reaction, and said slowly: "Contrary to the general's guess, in the holy decree, General Pingyuan's soldiers and horses should be temporarily stationed in Tianjin and be called, but all the ordnance that General Pingyuan presented to the imperial court should be sent to the capital!" ”

Brad smiled, he really smiled, he couldn't imagine the reaction of the emperor of the Ming Emperor, and it was really all expected by the general, His Majesty the emperor, really didn't worry about the general's people, and refused to let his people reach the center of the Ming Dynasty.

"General Bu is not angry?"

"Why should I be angry?" Brad asked rhetorically.

"Didn't General Bu say before that the main duty of your army is to protect these artillery? This majesty wants to go away with artillery, but he doesn't want General Bu's soldiers and horses to accompany him, isn't General Bu a derelict in his duty? ”

"Brad is loyal to General Pingyuan, and General Pingyuan is loyal to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so isn't His Majesty's will equivalent to the meaning of our general? Brad's weight is still clear! Brad smiled. In his heart, he scolded slightly: It's better not to go to the capital, the ghost is willing to help this inexplicable Ming Emperor to fight inexplicably, I didn't take his military salary.

"General Bu understands the righteousness so well, and this officer is relieved, this official has been worried, for fear that General Bu will abide by the military order and will make some trouble with the soldiers and horses!"

"Thank you Lord Bu for taking care of me, Lord Bu will report to our general truthfully!"

Burun waited until this sentence, and with this sentence, his favor was sold to the family.

"Okay, okay, I'm just passing by, just come in and say a few words, after that, I should go, maybe the old thing of Zhuhao will come over later, can you not meet him, or don't meet him, stay, stay, this official will come to visit another day!"

Sure enough, as Burun said, in the evening, when the training camp was making a fire to make food, a staff general under Zhu Hao, with a group of guards, Shi Shiran came. It's a pity that the soldiers standing guard don't know the general, and the general doesn't seem to have brought an interpreter.

Of course, for the sentry, this is the duty, this is the barracks, where is there a reason to enter if you want to, but for the general, being pulled outside the camp by a small soldier is too face-saving, besides, he is here to give orders, he is not alone, his soldiers and horses are all outside here.

If you can't do it, let's do it.

When the general found that his horsewhip had hit the opponent's body, and the opponent did not react, he dropped the horsewhip and 'drawn' the long knife at his waist.

The conscience of heaven and earth, he really didn't mean to kill this soldier, but he wanted to scare and scare the other party, if he really killed this soldier, I am afraid that he would not be able to see the other party's general, and he would be beheaded by the soldier at the entrance of this 'gate'.

It's a pity that the sentry who ate his whip has already judged that he is hostile, and at this moment he showed his blade, the sentry immediately retreated, and then made an unexpected move of his.

He took out a brass whistle and put it in his mouth.

A terrible whistle suddenly sounded in the air. Then, almost in a stunned posture, the general saw countless soldiers in black clothes and black armor running out of their barracks, their movements so swift and precise that they grasped their positions with such precision that it was as if this was the camp they had been stationed in for decades.

At this time, if he and his men dropped their blades and tried to communicate with the other party, they might be able to solve this misunderstanding, after all, the "enemy attack" alarm issued by this sentry, if nothing else, within a few minutes, Brad and some officers who knew the official language of the Ming Dynasty would appear.

Otherwise, he and his men quickly turned the dock, and immediately this camp that seemed to be a hedgehog with all the thorns on its body could be regarded as a good way to deal with it, of course, all of this had to be reacted to when he saw these soldiers swarming out.

Unfortunately, he didn't, he just held the knife blankly, staring at the movement in front of him blankly, in his sight, in the rooms on both sides of the camp, the planks were disassembled, and a row of black cannon muzzles were 'exposed', and in the dark room, faintly visible, there was a flickering fire......
