"I've seen Master Hou."

Chen Kan's carriage came to the gate of the camp, and Zhou Shi led a group of people to salute.

Chen Kan looked at the group of people behind Zhou Shi, five of them were wearing fish scale armor, they were the five thousand households left in Beijing by the 3,000 battalion, and in addition, there were two officials in red official uniforms, who should be the documents and master books left behind in the army.

After taking care of everyone with his eyes, Chen Kan showed a gentle smile on his face: "Everyone, please get up, Benhou is here today to take a casual look, you don't need to be formal." ”

I have to say that Chen Kan's appearance is still very deceptive, and with the gentle smile on his face, he is like a warm big boy next door.

At least two civil officials, after hearing Chen Kan's non-formalities, the nervous look on their faces instantly subsided.

Zhou Shi got up and introduced the senior generals in the army to Chen Kan.

The five thousand households are called Cen Gu, Qiu Han, Qian Xinghu, Fang Chaorong, and Zong Anliang. Each of them commanded a thousand soldiers under his command.

Two civil officials, the clerk's name is Yu Zhong, and the main bookkeeper's name is Si Guo, and the names of both of them are very interesting.

The seven people in front of him, plus one Zhou Shi, are the leadership of the entire army, among which Zhou Shi and his five thousand households are responsible for the daily drills of the army, as well as the adjustment and command of the troops in wartime.

Clerk Yu Zhong is responsible for sorting out the military records, including accounting for military merits, etc., while the chief bookkeeper Si Guo is specially connected with the imperial court and is responsible for the logistics of grain and grass supply.

Seven people stepped forward in turn to salute, the first was the chief bookkeeper Siguo, and the last was the thousand households named Zong Anliang.

From the order in which everyone saluted, Chen Kan could also tell which of these seven people had a higher or lower status in the army.

After greeting each other at the gate of the camp for a long time and getting to know each other, Zhou Shi led the way for Chen Kan quite doggedly: "Master Hou, the last general has ordered the army to be assembled on the teaching ground, and I also asked Master Hou to review it." ”

Chen Kan nodded: "Let's go." ”

A group of people crossed the camp tent and walked towards the training ground, Zhou Shi said in a low voice: "Master Hou, the composition of our 3,000 battalions is more complicated, the last general commanded these 5,000 people, of which 2,000 are cavalry composed of soldiers of various ethnic groups, 1,000 are Han cavalry, and the rest are ordinary soldiers, of course, there are also many people of other races among the ordinary soldiers......"

Hearing Zhou Shi introduce the composition of this army, Chen Kan's footsteps paused, and he asked with interest: "Do the Jurchens also have it?" ”

Zhou Shi nodded: "Hui Hou Ye, yes, we border Liaodong with Tianfu, although the Jurchens live in the deep mountains and old forests of Liaodong, there are also many people who yearn for our Daming, and every year there will be many Jurchens who will be added to the border army of the Ming Dynasty, and the three thousand battalions are no exception." ”

After a pause, Zhou Shi continued: "Speaking of which, when Brother Cheng Feng didn't enter our 3,000 battalion, the first person in the army to fight horses was a Jurchen Baihu named Brother Meng, Brother Suhan. ”

"Montgo Suhan?"

Chen Kan suddenly stopped.

He always felt that the name was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

Chen Kan stopped, and the others naturally didn't dare to go any further, but there was a little curiosity on their faces.

Zhou Shi cautiously asked, "What's the matter, Master Hou, is there anything wrong with Brother Meng's Suhan?" ”

Chen Kan's face showed a thoughtful look, and after a while, his face suddenly showed a sudden expression, and he turned his head and asked, "What does this fierce brother Suhan have to do with his fierce brother Timur?" ”

Chen Kan said how could this name be so familiar, because the fierce brother Timur was the ancestor of the later Qing Dynasty Ai Xinjue Luo.

In the third year of Yongle, Meng's brother Timur was appointed by Zhu Di as the commander of the Jianzhou Weidu.

Subsequently, the Aixin Jueluo family served as a commander and governor in Jianzhou for generations.

The rule of the Aisin Jueluo family in Jianzhou continued until the reign of Nurhachi's father, the Takshi, who declined.

But it is only the Takers who are silent.

Then Nuhar Chi was born, starting with thirteen pairs of armor to establish Houjin, and finally entered the Central Plains under the guidance of Wu Sangui, bringing extreme killing and humiliation to the Han people.

Thinking of the humiliation and blood and tears recorded in the history books, Chen Kan couldn't help but feel cold in his hands and feet.

Yangzhou 10th, Jiading three massacres......

Words flashed in Chen Kan's mind, making Chen Kan's face a little ugly.

"Master Hou, what's wrong with you? We don't have such a person as Brother Timur in our army. ”

Seeing that Chen Kan's face suddenly changed because of a name, the group of people who followed Chen Kan were all confused.

Brother Meng, Timur, is he famous?

Hearing Zhou Shi's answer, Chen Kan gathered his thoughts, and then shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just thought of some small things, let's go." ”

Seeing Chen Kan's taboo look, Zhou Shi and the generals had no choice but to give up asking questions and continue to follow Chen Kan's footsteps towards the teaching field.

It's just that in the process of walking, Chen Kan suddenly fell silent, and the whole person was a little absent-minded.

Meng's brother Timur, Meng's brother Suhan, these two names seem to have taken root in Chen Kan's mind, and they can't be driven out.

All the way to the teaching field, Chen Kan was still distracted.

"Master Hou, we're here!"

Zhou Shi escorted Chen Kan to stand on the platform, and seeing that Chen Kan still had a thoughtful look on his face, he couldn't help but whisper a reminder.

"Huh?"

"Oh!"

Chen Kan came back to his senses, only then did he realize that he had already stood on the platform, and Zhou Shi and the five thousand households and the main clerk were looking at him with anticipation on their faces.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Kan controlled his thoughts and walked back on track, showing a gentle smile to a few people, and then looked at the three thousand battalion soldiers standing neatly in the teaching field.

It's just that at the first glance, I suddenly feel proud in my heart.

The scene of the gathering of 10,000 people Chen Kan has experienced countless times, but it is the first time that he has stood on the platform like this and accepted the gaze of five thousand murderous tigers.

These 5,000 people are the tigers of the Ming Dynasty in the true sense, and they are one of the most elite 5,000 people in the million army of the Ming Dynasty.

And now, Chen Kan has become their supreme commander.

Forcibly holding back the excitement in his heart, Chen Kan stretched out a hand and said slowly in a deep voice: "Everyone, Benhou Chen Kan!" ”

The military formation was so quiet that only the breathing of the soldiers could be heard, so Chen Kan's voice didn't need to be loud, and the soldiers could hear it clearly.

It's just that no one noticed that when they saw the young figure on the general's platform, several figures in the military formation suddenly changed their faces.

"How is he?"

"Isn't he an official of Suncheonfu?"

A young soldier couldn't help but exclaim, and quickly covered his mouth.

Then he quickly looked left and right, and saw that no one noticed him, so he was relieved.

As for the other soldiers with ugly faces, a little embarrassment flashed unconsciously in their eyes.

Especially the soldier who answered Chen Kan's question that day, his face was even more like eating arsenic.

Who would have thought that the dignified imperial marquis would sneak into the military camp as an eight-rank petty official, just to find out the most basic living conditions of the soldiers?

The other soldiers were expressionless.

just quietly looked at Chen Kan on the stage, at most he was a little amazed at the young man of the new general.

As for the rest, it has nothing to do with them.

Chen Kan stood on the podium, saw that the soldiers did not react, and continued: "Some of you may have heard of my name and my deeds. ”

As soon as these words came out, some of the soldiers finally showed a little curiosity on their faces.

Beijing is the place where His Majesty started today, so the news from Beijing is not backward, as long as something new happens in Beijing, Beijing will soon know.

And Chen Kan has been the hottest topic in Beijing in recent years, and the soldiers in Beijing have naturally heard of his name.

Of course, most of what I hear is some not-so-good reputation.

For example, he has a ruthless personality, a small heart, and he will repay his eyes, and he kills people like hemp.

The only thing that can be regarded as a positive topic should be the recent blitzkrieg and public opinion war that has gone viral in the north and south of Beijing.

This is also because the practical effects of these two tactics have been verified in Annan.

However, many soldiers still have doubts about whether these two tactics are from Chen Kan's hands.

Rumors are rumors.

So far, the imperial court has never come forward to admit that the Ming Dynasty's plan for the conquest of Annan came from Chen Kan, and Chen Kan himself has not come forward to admit it.

Who knows if it was because he was His Majesty's son-in-law, so those great generals in the court deliberately promoted him and put this credit on him?

The expressions on the faces of the soldiers naturally fell in the eyes of Chen Kan on the platform.

The corners of Chen Kan's mouth couldn't help but bend a touch of arc, as long as it could mobilize the emotions of the soldiers.

The first time they met, Chen Kan didn't think that the soldiers would bow to him, after all, he was not a king, and he didn't have the spirit of a king.

After waiting for the emotions of the soldiers to ferment for a while, Chen Kan continued to say in a deep voice: "Maybe I, Chen Kan, am famous, and it doesn't sound very good, but it's not a big problem, in the next few years, we will spend more time together, and your eyes will see a real Jinghai Marquis Chen Kan." ”

When the words fell, Chen Kan didn't wait for everyone's reaction, so he waved his hand at everyone: "After Ben Hou's words are finished, they are all dispersed." ”

Zhou Shi: "? ”

Soldiers: "? ”

A bewildered look appeared on everyone's faces.

That's it?

No chicken soup, no encouragement, no self-interpretation, not even the most basic linkage.

The soldiers were even more stunned, and they all showed the same thought in their hearts, how could this young master be so short?

Gathering so many people, the result is three sentences.

Unusual, so unusual.

In the past, they did not change the commander, but when they came to power, they didn't listen to long speeches that made people drowsy, and they couldn't wait to let the soldiers bow to him and be grateful to Dade as soon as they met.

I have to say that this young marquis pinched their hearts fiercely.

The soldiers couldn't help but feel a little curious about this young marquis in their hearts, and at the same time had some good feelings.

After all, wearing armor and blowing the autumn breeze outside is not pleasant.
