Chapter 121: Jinghai Army!
On the sea, there is a vast fog, and within ten steps, people are only vague shadows, and in the fog, the nose can smell the unique salty smell of the seawater.
Hong Yi stood on the deck of the ship and watched Chi Chaiyang sit on the bow of the ship refining qi and exhaling.
Every time Chi Chaiyang swallowed it, his abdomen bulged, gurgling, and then brewed for three breaths, and as soon as he blew out, the airflow was like a sharp sword, instantly piercing the dense fog, and a long transparent trace appeared.
"He has made great progress in kung fu recently, I don't know when the spirit and flesh will be united? Enter the innate peak? The last move to step into the realm of the great grandmaster, but unfortunately my martial arts training time is too short, and it has only been a year now, I don't know if I can practice to the innate realm in another year?"
Hong Yi looked at Chi Chaiyang practicing qi and exhaling, and thought to himself.
At this moment, Xiao Mu touched a bowl of fish soup and came out, the fragrance was fragrant, and the big golden spider followed behind her, her golden skin was wrinkled, and she yawned lazily.
"Brother Yi, let's drink fish soup, this is the honeysuckle fish I caught in the sea in the morning, the meat is good, and it is fragrant." It's so fun on the sea, I don't know what it looks like when the fog clears, I've never been to see the sea. ”
Xiao Mu handed the fish soup to Hong Yi, and then excitedly stroked the thick fog with his hand, as if he wanted to grasp the mist in his hand.
"Xiao Mu, why do you still make your own soup? Aren't there Yinyue Bawei waiting for you?" Hong Yi took the fish soup and took a sip, and sure enough, he felt refreshing and soft, his stomach was warm, and there was a kind of fish fragrance between his mouth.
"I'm not used to being served. Xiao Mu waved his hand to catch the mist, and gently inhaled a few more times with his nose to feel the coolness of the sea mist.
"What's not used to then? Miss Ben is in the Rouran Palace, and hundreds of servants serve every day. Do whatever you want. You're not used to being served, so serve me, hurry up and make nǎi tea, Miss Ben is going to take a bath. The big golden spider behind him spoke sharply.
"Hmph. Xiao Mu looked at the big golden spider and snorted coldly.
"Xiao Mu, this silver moon eight guards, in the future, will be your maids, but also your cronies, you must often take them to practice martial arts, according to the regulations of the monthly silver, but also to win their hearts. Hong Yi explained.
Pedal, pedal, pedal...
The voice came up from the cabin below the deck, and the person who came was Yinyue among the eight guards of the silver moon, as soon as he came up, he glanced at Hong Yi, lowered his head and said: "Young master, it is estimated that the thirty miles of sea route ahead is the naval battalion of the Jing Navy, and there are patrol boats guarding all around, at this time, the fog is estimated to dissipate after the sun comes out, if you break into the Jing Navy at this time, you can't see anyone, it is easy to cause misunderstanding, and you can't move forward?"
"Don't go forward, find a good place to dock. Hong Yi's eyes flashed, and he saw Chi Chaiyang slowly exhale, and after practicing his qi, he stood up, so he ordered: "Chaiyang, you take the three Black Harrier brothers, the five elders of Baiyun with the guarding boat, as well as Xiao Mu and Tiezhu, the two of you take the Yinyue Eight Guards to the town of Linhai City, spend money to buy a courtyard to live in, put the gold bank and Li Du, everything is arranged, I take five personal soldiers, and report directly to the Jinghai camp." ”
"I know all of that. Chi Chaiyang nodded, knowing in his heart that Hong Yi didn't want his strength to be seen by others.
Now Hong Yi's strength is not trivial.
Five ironclad flying ships can run rampant on the sea! Among them, there is also a congenital martial artist Chi Chai Yang, Shen Tiezhu, and Xiao Mu are also martial arts masters, and the five elders of Baiyun are even top martial artists, and the other golden spider, the silver moon eight guards, the third brother of the Black Harrier Mansion, the two mastiff lion kings, and the five personal soldiers who joined the army and retired are not weak.
There are more than 100,000 taels of silver, elixir, horses, good bows and arrows, swords, weapons, armor, and other baggage.
This strength and materials are not inferior to those disciples of the princely family who brought masters to join the army.
"Dock the boat!"
At the sound of the order, the boat slowly turned around, and was able to accurately identify the direction in the fog and sail towards the shore.
"It's a pity that these sailors are all good hands of the cāo ship, and they should have known that it would be good to let them come down to the flower and the moon. Hong Yi felt that the hull of the ship was spinning, and his feet were very stable, showing the skills of the shipwright and sailor, and he felt that he had miscalculated slightly.
Each of the five ironclad flyships requires twenty strong men to be able to move and walk like flying, as well as experienced helmsmen.
And now after these people go ashore, they will have to return, and they will have to find new people when they sail in the future.
"However, there are pros and cons to this matter, if you leave these people behind, you have to arrange for them to eat and live, there are many people, it is not convenient, and the cost is also large. ”
More than 100 jīng sailors ate and drank Lazar every day, and paid silver and wages, which was also a big expense. Hong Yi is raising it now, and it is also a little difficult to raise it for a year and a half.
The salaries of these sailors are not low, Hong Yi knows that Yaochi sends them to raise them, and each person is at least twenty taels of silver per month, and the helmsman is even more fifty taels.
A hundred people are two or three thousand taels a month, and the expenses of arranging a house, cooking, and laundry for them are too great.
The boat soon docked, Hong Yi rode on the electric horse, brought the shark sword, put on the white ox armor on the outside, wore the silver shark armor on the inside, hid the ironwood ebony bow behind the horse, carved arrows, and punished the evil peach sword. Fully armed, with five personal soldiers, he went straight to the camp of the Jing Navy.
The five pro-soldiers also wore white ox armor, equipped with locust crossbows, rebar horizontal knives, and "Bao Huang Ju" on their horses, and they were also armed and mighty.
.....................................................................................................................
The six horsemen galloped for about half an hour, the sun came out, the fog dispersed, and in the distance, against the mountain, a stretch of dozens of miles and hundreds of miles! The magnificent barracks and water village appeared in front of Hong Yi's eyes.
This is where the base camp of the Jing Navy in the southern sea is located.
"What a majestic man!"
Looking at the barracks and water villages that stretched into the distance, dozens of miles and hundreds of miles, in the barracks, countless flags hunted and hunted in the sea breeze, on the sea, countless ships shuttled back and forth, the trumpets shook the sky, and countless soldiers cāo practiced the sound of shouting, shaking the clouds in the sky to disperse.
Although he had not yet arrived in the camp, he watched from afar, and Hong Yi felt an overwhelming masculine and murderous aura coming from his face, and he felt a sense of suffocation.
"This is the important place of soldiers, compared to the eight battalions of soldiers and horses in Wuyuan Province, they are nothing. ”
"Gongzi is right, the Jing Navy has 100,000 soldiers, horses, ships and ships, and it is also one of the top ten military barracks in the entire Daqian. You see, the trucks carrying meat, dried vegetables, rice, and wheat noodles on the grain roads are constantly flowing all day and night, and they don't stop at all. The five pro-soldiers said babblingly.
Around the camp of the Jing Navy, all kinds of roads were built, including special routes for transporting grain, roads for sending troops, royal roads for the transmission of holy decrees, and official roads for officials to enter.
Hong Yi looked around, and sure enough, on the grain road in the distance, cars loaded with grain bags, pigs, chickens and ducks, soybeans, dried vegetables, vegetables and other things, lined up in a queue of dozens of miles, and sent to the barracks endlessly.
And the huge barracks are like a behemoth that can never be fed, constantly devouring what can be devoured.
"How much meat, vegetables, and grain does an army of 100,000 consume every day, and how much money does it have? If the world is forever peaceful, swords and guns are put into storage, horses are put in Nanshan, and soldiers go home to farm, how good it would be. Unfortunately, there is never a day of peace in this world...... May one day, these soldiers eat the food of the people of the world, and do not aim their swords and spears at the people. ”
Hong Yi sighed, he remembered that sixty years ago, the Great Zhou Dynasty collapsed, the Great Cadres rose, the battle in the south was particularly tragic, it lasted for 30 years, the Great Cadres army slaughtered many places, killing the white bones in the wilderness, thousands of miles without rooster crowing, blood flowed like a river, but most of the dead and wounded were innocent people.
"Childe, someone is coming from the front. ”
There was no need to be reminded by the soldiers, Hong Yi had already seen it, and a group of light horsemen in front of him rushed over, stopped more than ten steps away from him, and asked, "Who is it? Why do you take the official road of the big camp?"
Hong Yi asked his soldiers to send the documents of the military department, and the leader of the cavalry looked at it, nodded, and did not dismount: "It turned out that it was from Beijing, come in with me." ”
The leader of the cavalry took Hong Yi to a house in the side hall of the barracks and said: "Several, although you are from Beijing, our marshal convened the commanders of the battalions this morning to discuss military affairs, and now it has not ended, even after the end, the marshal will take a nap and inspect the barracks in the afternoon, there is no time for these two or three days, you will stay here for three days." ”
Lao Zhang, a pro-soldier beside Hong Yi, said with a smile: "Dare to ask what position your lord has in the army?"
"What's the matter? I'm the head of the cavalry of the Evil Shark Battalion, my own soldiers under the command of the Great Marshal. The cavalry leader looked at each other.
"We have a handwritten letter from Prince Yu to Yan Dashuai, you just find a chance to report it, and Dashuai will naturally meet us. Seeing Hong Yi's face, Lao Zhang, a pro-soldier, took out a cloth bag from his arms, threw it to the cavalry leader, and handed over the letter one by one.
The leader of the cavalry grabbed it, weighed it in his hand, and found that it was money. But he didn't answer, just sneered slightly, and threw the money on the table, "Since Prince Yu has a letter to Dashuai, I will naturally report it immediately." Left and right, serve tea to a few adults!"
After that, he arched his hand: "A few adults are waiting here." "Press the knife step, Huo Huo went out.
"Jing Haijun is really powerful, a small capital, all calm and composed. See that the money is not collected. Hong Yi said: "Lao Zhang, you put away the money, let's have tea." ”
While eating tea and looking at the surrounding environment, about three pillars of incense time, the cavalry leader came in again and waved his hand, "The marshal is invited." ”
Turning around the side hall, walking for a few miles, and passing through I don't know how many layers of bright posts and secret posts, I finally came to the handsome camp of the Jing Navy Battalion.
In front of the camp, there is a huge square.
On the square, the handsome flag fluttered, with a huge "Yan" character written on it, murderous, straight to the sky.
On the edge of the square, there was a soldier wearing fish-scale iron armor, standing on the ground like a nail every three steps, standing motionless, a row of such soldiers went straight to the handsome camp, and the killing was terrifying.
"Good guy, everyone here is at least a master of the samurai level, and those who wear iron armor and wear a red belt on their heads are even more masters of martial arts! A sentry in a square has hundreds of samurai and dozens of martial artists! Not to mention that in those houses, there are more powerful masters hidden, strong bows and crossbows to surround and kill, in this case, it is difficult for a martial saint to take the head of a general in a million troops, but it is difficult for a martial saint to do it, but if it is a master of Taoism, a flying sword assassination, manifest a god, it can be done. ”
The leader of the cavalry saw Hong Yi walking through the square, his face was calm as usual, and his heart was slightly admired.
However, how did he know that Hong Yi was now estimating the strength of the guards in his heart, and figuring out the possibility of the Taoist master assassinating the commander of the army.
Walking through the long square and entering the commander's camp, Hong Yi saw at a glance that in the huge conference hall, all the officers on both sides were sitting upright, wearing a bright Xuangang armor and a steel helmet, motionless, looking like a venerable iron man.
In front of the chamber, there is a large iron case, on which are gold medals, arrows, handsome seals, tiger charms, and cinnabar pens.
On the wall behind the iron case, there is also a huge word "Wei".
The majestic aura in the entire hall was more powerful than outside the square.
"Meet the Commander!"
Hong Yi entered the hall, arched his hand in the middle, bowed down and shouted loudly, the voice was vibrating, like thunder, but the surrounding ironclad officers were slightly surprised, I didn't expect Hong Yi to be so bold.
Their bodies moved in their chairs, and the iron armor clanged.
In the middle of the iron case, sitting is a person wearing tight-fitting black satin, his hair is curled, a hosta is inserted in the middle, the marks on his face are like knife carvings, and his shoulders are as broad as a mountain.
Hong Yi knew that this person was the commander of 100,000 soldiers, horses, ships, and ships, and with a wave of the military flag, countless heads fell to the ground, Yan Zhen. The son of the imperial court Shao Bao Yan Yuzhi.
Yan Youzhi, the minister of the imperial cabinet, is an old minister who has followed Taizu, and now he is seventy or eighty years old, a veteran of the four dynasties, and his qualifications are unmatched.
"Hong Yi, although you were recommended by Prince Yu, the Ministry of War also issued a document. But there are not a few princes and disciples who have come to the army and I have experienced, if you are to arrange a high position for you casually, you can't serve the public, you want to lead the soldiers and horses, and you also need to go through the assessment of the martial arts hall in the army. ”
Yan Zhen's voice came, and it buzzed in Hong Yi's ears. Hong Yi knew that this marshal of the Jing Navy was an unfathomable master.
