Chapter 224: My uncle was dismissed

In the morning, Song Che selected 120 soldiers who were good at archery in the barracks, distributed muskets and ammunition, and conducted target shooting training.

Muskets and crossbows have their own advantages and disadvantages.

After the musket is fired, it needs to be manually filled with gunpowder and bullets, and the sound is loud and cannot be used in water.

Although the bow and crossbow are not powerful, they are quick to fire, suitable for fighting in a variety of environments, and the material is cheaper than muskets.

The combat efficiency of the two long-range weapons will certainly be greatly enhanced if they complement each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses.

In the afternoon, Song Che asked someone to send ten big fat pigs as promised, killed three on the spot, set up a stove and pot, and cooked pork.

Don't look at being a soldier in Yangzhou, a rich place, and you may not be able to eat a meal of meat in ten days and half a month, which can fill the oil and water in your stomach, which is already a luxury in the army.

Bao Dayou invited Song Che and Jiang Yuntian into the big tent to eat, pork knuckle, pork belly, pork kidney, and the essence part was placed on the table.

"Oh, don't say it's an ordinary soldier, it's me, I'm the commander, and I'll be satisfied if I can eat a meal of meat soup in three days."

Bao Dayou picked up a piece of fat meat with a big knife, and looked crooked, but he stuffed it into his mouth and shook his head when he ate it, "It feels so good that oil is bubbling up in this throat." ”

The Great Liang Dynasty was already heavy on literature and light on military force, and now it is time to fight against the Japanese along the coast, and what rations are basically sent to the front line, and they, the box troops who defend the city, will not be hungry, but it is difficult to eat a good meal.

Song Che asked about the war along the Huainan coast at the dinner, and summed it up in one word:

Steady.

But it's not a sure way to win. It's about holding each other down.

Not all of them are Ronin, and the greater force comes from pirates. These pirates were vicious, hijacking merchant ships for many years and amassing countless fortunes.

Whether it is ordnance or rations, the poor soldier is really not as good as the bandits who eat meat and drink wine.

"Uncle Song, you are so smart, why don't you go to the front line to help? If a person like you were to enter the barracks, the generals would have to offer you. ”

Bao Dayou is not the first to ask Song Che to be an official.

It's not that Song Cheqing is arrogant, it's that he really has no bottom in his heart, the battle in Hangzhou in the past, the scene of the dead corpse floating on the sea, to this day he still has nightmares from time to time.

He is a modern man, so old that he has never seen a dead person except for the death of his own relatives.

In ancient wars, they were all slashed at the flesh one by one, with corpses all over the field, stumps and broken arms, intestines and rotten stomachs, too bloody and violent.

On top of that, I'm more worried that I'm going to mess up.

In a war, there are thousands of people at least and hundreds of thousands at most, and the brothers put their lives in your hands, and if something goes wrong, it is not just two people who will be killed.

It's not that he can become Zhuge Kongming after watching "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" a few times, he is still far behind!

Song Che could only sigh and answer: "Let's talk about it......"

"The war ahead is tight, and at this time, all states and roads are recruiting troops, saying that they want to calm down the plague before the spring of next year, hum, a group of poor and sour Confucians are getting power behind them, how can they——"

"Hey."

Song Che hurriedly stopped Bao Dayou, who was blushing and thick-necked from drinking, in a sensitive place like the barracks, telling the truth could easily lead to death.

He changed the topic and said: "By the way, General Bao, I heard from the Suzhou Army that a group of women rescued in the bandits' den before seemed to be handed over to the Yangzhou Military Control, is there such a thing?" ”

"Harm! I really have to vomit bitterness about this, most of the treasures in the bandits' den have been seized by your Suzhou army, and we will get a group of women in Yangzhou. ”

Bao You shook his head and smiled: "The batch of women rescued, we soldiers can't get one, and they are all handed over to the state capital for resettlement." ”

But in fact, these women were not released home, but were transferred to Luoyang and sold to the Jia family.

"Does the general know who are the officials who placed these women?" Song Che asked.

Bao Youwei thought for a while: "Huainan transfer envoy, Lord Kang Mingkang." ”

"This Kang Ming can be in Yangzhou Mansion?" Song Che asked again.

Bao Youwei shook his head, "Lord Kang is a transfer envoy, receives the order of Chuzhou, and is an official in Chuzhou. ”

The girder is divided into administrative areas at the road level, and the highest governor of each road is the pacification envoy of the Jingluo, the official rank of the fourth grade, followed by the transfer envoy and the prison envoy, from the rank of the fourth grade, followed by the state, government order, and county order.

The transshipment envoy is usually responsible for the state's road finances, salt and iron resale, etc.

Since the Yang family runs a salt farm business, they must have had some contact with this Kang Ming, and besides, the woman rescued from the bandit's den was also placed by him.

This transfer made Kang Ming most likely a "big tiger".

In the officialdom of Huainan, the water is too deep.

At this time, a sudden announcement came from outside the tent:

"General, there is a guy outside the barracks who claims to be Fuman Inn, saying that he has something urgent to find Aunt Song."

Bao Dayou said: "Since I am looking for Aunt Song, I will bring in a big tent." ”

"Don't bother, I've drunk about the same amount of wine, it's time to leave."

Song Che got up to say goodbye, walked out of the big tent quickly, and when he left the barracks, he saw Ah Shui in a hurry.

"What's wrong?"

"Uncle! You've figured it out! Ah Shui came over and pulled Song Che into the carriage and said, "Boss Shen beat someone!" ”

Accidental?

Perhaps not surprisingly.

At this juncture, no matter what happens to the people around him, Song Che will put the responsibility on Yang Song.

"What the hell is going on, is it serious? Come on and tell the truth. Song Che asked urgently.

Ah Shui drove the carriage fast and said, "It was not long after you left in the morning, the Zhang family, who had been engaged to Boss Shen, suddenly sent someone to withdraw from the marriage!"

Boss Shen began to decorate the wedding room last month, looking forward to marrying the bride, who would have expected such a sudden trouble;

Boss Shen was stunned at the time, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, so he went to the Zhang family to ask for an explanation. ”

This Han Han uncle, looking for someone to theorize how to bring a few more people.

"Faster."

When Song Che rushed back to the inn, the backyard was full of people.

"Husband!"

"Virtuous nephew!"

"Song Gongzi!"

"Aunt Song!"

Everyone's eyes were full of hope.

Song Che nodded and looked at the closed bedroom door: "How is my uncle?" ”

"It was two kind-hearted neighbors who brought him back, so we invited Dr. Cui and is concentrating on the consultation."

Shen Wenjun clenched his fists and said angrily: "How can this be true! Three media and six certificates, all of them have been booked for days, and it is okay to openly repent of the marriage, and the 30,000 dowry will not be refunded, and the second brother will be beaten like this! Husband, we can't spare them! ”

It turns out that in ancient times, there were also regrets about marriage and not returning the bride price!

At the beginning, Shen Fang told Song Che that he would spend 30,000 taels of dowry to get the daughter of Zhang's shoe store, but Song Che felt that it was not very reliable.

Thirty thousand taels, love business?

A woman who asks for a sky-high bride price must never marry.
