Chapter 161: Military Exercise (3rd Watch)
In mid-July, the weather is only occasionally hot for a few days, and most of the time you can already feel the coolness of autumn.
The green leaves swayed on the branches, as if they were singing, but they had no idea that they were about to turn yellow in the autumn wind.
The plague in Wu County was finally controlled, although there were still many patients who died in the process, but Qiao Feifan also improved the prescription after the experiment, and finally nearly half of the patients in the 6,000 victims were cured, except for more than 800 people who were killed in the riot at that time, more than 700 people were left in the camp to observe the recovery, and the others have joined the team to rebuild their homes one after another.
Although it is difficult to harvest the fertile fields below this year, soil erosion is not serious, and after a winter, seeds can be sown again and ears of rice can be produced.
The pacification of this catastrophe is indispensable to the efforts of everyone.
Of course, the dove snake gall that Qin Ke brought back was a great achievement, although Qin Ke was not very happy, but Zhou Gongjin still wrote his credit into the excerpt and sent it to the court.
Zhou Gongjin's original words to Qin Ke and Abu were: "Jing Wu has always pursued the principle of 'reward for merit, punishment for guilt', as a supervising envoy, I have the responsibility to report these things, as for how Mr. rewards you at that time, it is none of my business, anyway, you are close to Mr., if you don't want it, you will tell him yourself." ”
To say that you don't want a reward is a lie.
It's just that after hearing about the reward, I always feel as if what I am doing is just to ask for merit and reward, which is a little strange.
However, when Zhou Gongjin said this, he was a little relieved, and even faintly yearned for the reward that Zhuge Wanling was about to give him.
Maybe you can reward yourself with a year's worth of big meat buns?
Thinking of this, he immediately took a bite of himself in his heart: What kind of meat buns, as soon as he heard it, he felt a little family, since Jing Wu wanted to reward it, how could he reward something better.
Perhaps, he can take the opportunity to ask Zhuge Wanling for a good horse?
Thinking of this, he drooled, looked at the roof, and laughed silly.
"Ke. Hurry up, if we don't do it well, even if Mr. doesn't punish us, those bosses will have to point at our noses and say a few words, not to mention those commanders in the army, the most unseen thing is to be late......"
Qin Ke came back to his senses, looked at Abu, oh oh ah ah twice, and continued to take care of the cowhide armor on his body.
In the whole room, as far as the eye can see, there are dozens of people doing the same thing.
After returning to Jianye City, Mulan returned to her residence and did not follow them all the way. As the general of the Great Wall, the time of this envoy is almost coming to an end, and since Jing Wu has almost completed the transfer of grain and grass, she naturally has to return to the Great Wall to preside over the overall situation.
And in order to show Jing Wu's etiquette before she left, those big figures in the court also discussed and formulated a military exercise, one was the poor scholars in the Taixue Hall, including Qin Ke Abu, and the other was naturally those scholars of the scholars.
Although Qin Ke always felt that this arrangement seemed to be deliberately provoking the relationship between the upper echelons in the Taixue Hall, Abu believed that the separation of the two factions in the Taixue Hall was not a year or two years, and many people had long held a lively mentality to see a relatively formal duel between the two parties, and the development of this military exercise was originally to let Jing Wu show the demeanor of the Qingzhuang faction, so this arrangement was also reasonable.
Qin Ke's understanding of Jing Wu is still limited, but he also agrees with his statement.
"I always feel that the size of this leather armor is not quite right......" Qin Ke grinned for a long time, and asked everyone, "Which of you has a big leather armor?"
Someone immediately responded: "I'm big, you try my ......"
"And my ......"
Jing Wujun's cowhide armor is made of exquisite material, and it has been soaked in countless rounds of medicinal materials after being air-dried, so even if it is replaced with a sharp blade, it will not be easily split.
At that time, the eight thousand Qingzhou ghost riders were wearing such cowhide armor across the territory of the Tang Kingdom, if there was no such good equipment, maybe the people of Jingwu might not be able to see the remaining four thousand ghost riders triumphant scene, it is said that when they came back, the smell of blood spread along the way, and it was extremely tragic.
However, this was a military exercise, so many of the armor assigned to them did not match the size, and many of them were either dressed big or small, so they could only adjust with each other.
Everyone present is from the Taixue Hall, that is, Qin Ke's title of "Taixue Hall Student" still needs to be studied, but he seems to have slowly integrated into this collective.
The atmosphere in the whole house was very harmonious, and the building where they usually mingled was in it, but he kept scolding and complaining that the iron armor that had been given to him was one size smaller, and the straps were so stretched that he looked like a rice dumpling that had been tied.
Everyone laughed, Abu was actually the same as him, and he also felt the tightness of the armor on his body, but compared to them, but compared to the infantry vanguard in the building, he was more in charge of the overall situation in the Chinese army, and strategized, so he felt that he was not qualified to complain.
At this time, there was a sudden burst of laughter, and the building was so happy that he burst into tears, pointing at Xiaoqian: "Hahahahaha...... You see, the pigs are wearing leather armor!"
Chubby Xiaoqian finally fastened the buckle, and this armor was still a pair of large sizes specially found for him, but it still looked bloated and sluggish when worn on the body, which immediately made everyone laugh.
"What are you laughing at!" Xiao Qian's eyes widened, looking at everyone viciously, but he couldn't stop everyone's laughter at all, looked at the cowhide armor on his body that didn't look good, and said a little aggrieved, "I'm obviously responsible for deducing the military formation, so I have to force me to wear armor ......"
Abu smiled and said: "It's better to wear it, when the time comes, if the fight becomes chaotic, who cares that you are in charge of the military formation deduction, although you use a long wooden pole for martial arts, it is not easy to be stabbed." ”
"Yes. Xiao Qian smiled and said, "This time I have to teach those guys a good lesson." ”
After everyone was almost dressed, Zhu Ran, the commander of the forbidden army, walked in at the door, looking at the appearance of everyone, he frowned, and said unhappily: "Hurry up! If it were at your speed, people would have cut off their heads long ago when they fought!"
The room was immediately silent, and no one dared to gossip anymore.
The venue of the military exercise was set up in the original training place of the forbidden army, because in the royal city, the natural commander of the forbidden army was fully responsible for this military exercise, compared to Gao Changgong, who loved to laugh lightly, everyone was more afraid of this forbidden army commander, and he shouted lowly, and the movements in his hands were much faster.
On the city wall, hundreds of officials sat or stood.
In fact, from such a sitting, you can see the distribution of power in the Jingwu court, those who sit on the soft cushions, with exquisite snacks in front of them, and a few people talk and laugh lightly, most of them occupy a pivotal position in the Jingwu court.
And those who stood on the side leaning against the city wall, whispering to each other, were all officials who were still young or did not have enough power to speak in the court, after all, the city wall was not as crowded as the palace, so it seemed a little crowded.
In the center of the crowd, there is a high seat, a maid holding a fan with a calm face, and a guard carrying a sword at his waist as serious as pig iron.
That's the position of the lord of a small country.
Under it, Mulan and Gao Changgong sat opposite each other, Gao Changgong drank tea and said softly: "Su Dingfang's understanding is good, although it still takes some exercise to hone the 'tiger teeth' and mellowness, but I think the Great Wall will not lack opponents, so I'm not worried that my things won't be able to play on him." ”
Mulan nodded and said, "I can only give you half of what I promised you, and the remaining half, maybe he can take it himself one day." ”
Gao Changgong smiled, looking at Qin Ke who looked a little nervous in the crowd below, the armor he was wearing obviously didn't fit his figure, and he looked a little bigger, but he looked a lot more energetic: "Enough." It's even better than I thought. This kid's luck is good, the seven jin of the 'Seven Entry Sword' can learn half of it, at least in the future, Jing Wu will not be beaten all over the place. ”
Mulan stared at him, "You want him to leave?"
"It's not something I decide. Gao Changgong smiled, "He wants to find what he is pursuing, even if Jing Wu wants to keep him, he can't keep it." What's so bad about traveling the world?"
At this time, a eunuch shouted in a shrill voice: "The lord of the country has arrived!"
