Chapter 157: A well-planned contest
"One-two-one, one-two-one, one, two, three, four!"
"One, two, three, four!"
A group of firearms men from the Jinzhou Linzi Battalion, draped all over their bodies and carrying bird guns on their shoulders, passed through the residential area of Xintun.
They marched in orderly steps from Yuanmen into the military zone.
The people who live in Xintun have long been accustomed to the neat pace.
I'm very curious about birds.
Seeing this group of firearms men passing by in the middle, they all craned their necks.
"Ouch, it's the first time I've seen so many birds."
"I've seen it a long time ago. However, this time it seems to be different. ”
"The guy in my hand is so new, I really want to have a shot of this thing, I can definitely shoot birds."
"That's for fighting the enemy."
When did a group of country people see so many birds.
One by one, the excitement is not good.
Some applauded, some ridiculed, and some pretended to be calm, but their eyes kept peeking.
This is Yang Chengying's strategy.
So far, there are only 12,000 soldiers on the books under his command.
Most of them are also in Golden State City.
There are only four thousand in hand.
But there are more than 100,000 people here, how to prevent some people from harboring ill intentions.
He thought of using the opportunity of training to show the people how elite this army was.
Only in this way can it play a role in deterring the small and appeasing the people.
The chief general of this firearms unit is naturally gratifying.
came with him, as well as Mao Yuanyi.
The two led the soldiers of the Lin Zi Battalion to the point platform.
Yang Chengying stood on the stage and inspected this long-lost unit.
After the review, Yang Chengying stepped down from the stage and came to the soldiers.
"General."
When a soldier saw Yang Chengying, he lowered his head embarrassedly.
"Hmm."
Yang Chengying patted him on the shoulder: "Raise your head." ”
"Yes, General."
The soldier looked up.
Yang Chengying looked directly at him and said seriously word by word: "Train hard." ”
"Yes, General!" The soldier replied loudly.
The Lin Ziying camp was expanded once in Shang Kexi's hands, and it has reached 1,200 people, almost every person has a bird's hand.
Among them, the newly manufactured bird guns account for a quarter.
It was impossible for Yang Chengying to take a look at everyone, and he only looked at a few dozen people and turned back.
Shang Kexi waved his hand, and the soldiers of the Lin Zi Battalion, under the leadership of their respective small banners, were personally led by Xu Shang and brought to their station.
"General Shang, let me introduce you to a few people."
Yang Chengying called Geng Zhongming, Geng Zhongyu, Kong Youxing, and Kong Youde out of the list and let them know each other.
Shang Kexi looked Geng Zhongming up and down, and said with a smile: "You are actually the general's personal guard?" ”
"Of course I am, you have an opinion!"
Geng Zhongming immediately fought back.
"Of course, there is no standing phase."
Shang Kexi pursed his lips with a look of disgust.
Kong Youde and the others covered their mouths and snickered.
Geng Zhongming's brain is active, but his discipline is not good enough, and he often does not stand up.
The general turned a blind eye to this and did not be overly harsh.
Unexpectedly, I met the opponent today.
Yang Chengying also smiled in his heart, in history, although these two are listed as the "Three Shun Kings", they are also opposites.
Historically, after Mao Wenlong, who was entrenched in Phi Island, was killed, Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde were given to Sun Yuanhua by Huanglong, and Shang Kexi returned to Huanglong.
Later, because of beating Liu Xingzhi, Huang Long executed Geng Zhongming's younger brother Geng Zhongyu, causing Geng Zhongming and Huang Long to form a feud.
As Huang Long's loyal old department, Shang Kexi naturally made an enmity with Geng Zhongming.
It hasn't happened now, it's still like this.
It can only be said that this may be fate.
"It's as if you have a lot of ability, let's compare if you have the ability."
Geng Zhongming glanced at Kong Youde, and then looked directly at Shang Kexi.
Shang Kexi smiled, "It's better than it!" Carrying five kilometers of weight, 400 meters of obstacles, standing in a military posture is up to you. ”
Geng Zhongming frowned, but he didn't dare to show his timidity.
It turned out that he was smart and had made great achievements, so he didn't train too hard in this area. Because of his merits, no one can say anything about him.
Now, Shang Kexi is also a military meritor, and he commands a battalion of soldiers, so he is fully qualified to guide him.
"Are you scared?" Shang Kexi sneered, "It's still too late to admit it." ”
"Who is afraid! We're five kilometers more than we can load. ”
Geng Zhongming raised his head and said unconvinced.
Shang Kexi smiled and said: "No problem, there are so many people to testify, what if you lose?" ”
"It's up to you."
Geng Zhongming asked rhetorically, "What if you lose?" ”
"I plead with the general, and you will be my deputy." Shang Ke smiled happily.
It's so big?
Yang Chengying frowned slightly, and said in his heart, what happened to Shang Kexi today? As soon as we met, the smell of gunpowder was so strong.
Glancing at Mao Yuanyi again, he seemed to know that Yang Chengying was looking at him, and shook his head slightly.
Don't stop me. Could it have been negotiated in advance? Interesting.
Yang Chengying decided to watch the play.
Geng Zhongming thought about it for a while, he was the general's personal guard, even if he was released, he had to start training from the middle level, and now he had the opportunity to directly become the deputy general of the Lin Zi Battalion, which was worth fighting.
"Command, General!"
Geng Zhongming clenched his fist at the general.
"Yes."
Yang Chengying said with a smile: "Since it's a bet, then I won't hesitate to reward."
Come, bring my mount. ”
It's not a big deal to see the excitement.
"General......
The crowd was taken aback.
Gongsun Sheng led a snow-white horse over.
Yang Chengying stroked the horse's back, "This horse was sent to me by Xiong Jingluo not long ago as a reward for the victory in the Battle of Gaizhou.
If any of you wins, I will give him this horse. ”
"Happy!" Shang Kexi thought that he had the chance to win, "The general is generous, and the general will definitely go into battle to kill the enemy when he gets this horse, and he will never disappoint the general's expectations." ”
Geng Zhongming was not to be outdone: "The last general will ride this horse, lead the Lin Zi battalion, and live and die for the general." ”
The two were on edge.
Yang Chengying also added fuel to the fire: "There is a punishment for those who lose, please drink here." ”
"Okay."
Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi responded in unison.
glanced at each other again, and they all snorted coldly, very unconvinced.
Yang Chengying asked Kong Youde to take thirty catties of weight, and then drew his sword out of its sheath and drew a horizontal line on the ground.
"From here, you set out from here."
"Yes."
Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming carried a weight of thirty pounds on their backs and came to the side of the horizontal line.
"Ready, go!"
With Yang Chengying's order, the two ran out like rabbits.
When they ran away, Yang Chengying turned his head to look at Mao Yuanyi: "Mr. Mao, what the hell is going on?" ”
Mao Yuanyi said with a smile: "I heard that Geng Zhongming is meritorious and lazy in training. On the way, I studied with Shang Kexi for a long time, and thought of this method to sharpen his sharpness. ”
"It's really well-intentioned."
Yang Chengying was afraid that Kong Youde and others would tell Geng Zhongming, causing discord between the two sides.
He looked at Kong Youde and Geng Zhongyu again: "If Geng Zhongming really loses, I will also pull him in time." ”
"My brother is impetuous, he should sharpen his sharpness."
Geng Zhongyu is also a person who doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement.
"Then let's watch this good show."
Yang Chengying knew very well in his heart that Geng Zhongming could not run past Shang Kexi.
