It takes an hour for a fast horse to travel eighty miles. Yun Zheng looked at the setting sun, sighed, and settled down at home. He asked Lu Qingqing to take care of the house, and told Yun Er that he was now the man of the house and had something to do.
I had to carry it up, and finally I helped the bacon wipe away my tears. I only took Han Niu and Monkey to join the army, while Xanthium and the others stayed at home to look after the house.
They took out three horses and ran towards Dujiangyan without even thinking...
The military officer was very surprised. Wu Shengjun had just arrived at Dujiangyan yesterday and was usually stationed at Zhijiang. Why did the superior officer go straight to Dujiangyan without asking?
Hearing the military man ask himself, Yun Zheng gave a bitter smile and did not answer. He just roared in his heart, where else could he be? The freshly minted infantry commander Yuhou, and he did not fight, would naturally be used as a coolie, otherwise
Why isn't Ma Jundu Yuhou?
He thinks too highly of himself. His authority is Zhang Fangping's biggest support. As long as he is under his rule, there will always be a way to deal with him. This is what is meant by the so-called county magistrate who destroys the family and the prefect who destroys the family.
The war horses were galloping on the dry land, and the military man once again wanted to ask Du Yuhou why he could ride better than himself.
Facing this chatty soldier, Yun Zheng was speechless. He could open his mouth to ask questions even as his war horse was galloping, without caring about the dust raised. He didn't know where his curiosity came from.
Yunzheng knew that the army of the Song Dynasty was very bad, but he didn't expect it to be so bad. What was the reason why the garrison was not established? What was the reason for lying on the ground with open chests and arms in the east and west?
Why don't you take any precautions when you hear the sound of galloping war horses? This is the fucking army? Dirty, extremely dirty, lice can crawl onto the unshaven face without feeling anything, but every time you see it,
With the golden seal on his face, Yun Zheng vented all his dissatisfaction with the Zhao family dynasty.
But the target was not the Zhao Dynasty, and he couldn't afford to offend him, so he could only target these so-called sergeants.
"Gather!" Yun Zheng shouted in a high voice. After waiting for a while, he found that no one seemed to pay attention to him.
"Gather" was shouted again, but the sergeants who should be sleeping were still sleeping, and the guys who should be snoring didn't even bother to pause.
Hua Lao's soldier stooped and rubbed his hands and walked over and said: "Yu Hou, you can't do this. We have a total of 673 infantry. These guys only recognize two things, one is money and the other is food!"
I haven’t heard of military law for a long time.”
Yun Zheng groaned and squeezed out a sentence from his throat: "According to the establishment, shouldn't there be 1,100 sergeants under my command? Why are there only 673 left?"
The chatty soldier smiled with his yellow teeth and said: "You are the general, that's right, but you also have ten deputy lieutenants Jinyi, three deputy lieutenants Jinyong, one chief clerk, one Chengjie Lang, and another
Including these three small squads, there are sixteen people in total, as well as you, the general, and the soldiers you brought. We all need to make money, so it is inevitable that we will get some free pay. Those killers, as long as they do not rebel
, just let them go as they go on weekdays, the filial piety they gave you is in the tent, please accept it with a smile."
Yun Zheng chuckled, no longer angry with the soldiers, but dragged the chatty soldiers to the Minjiang River and said with a smile: "Tell me, if I need to make up for the shortfall, we don't take the empty pay, what's the point?"
Method?"
Hua Lao's soldier chuckled and said: "To be honest, General, there is nothing we can do. We are not the third squad of regular soldiers. The real effect of the conquest is to praise the Japanese troops. We just join in the fun. Once a fight breaks out, run faster."
That’s it.”
Yun Zheng threw a stone into the Minjiang River and said: "I know, I am all worried about money, but when you look at me, do you think I am a person who is short of money? What I need is merit and achievements. Since I have already
Once I become a military attache, my subordinates should be a group of soldiers, not a group of beggars. Tell me, what can you do? The most important thing I don’t need is money!"
Hua Lao's soldier approached Yun Zheng and said carefully: "I understand. From the first moment I saw the general, I understood that you are not short of that soldier's blood. You are the queen of the general, and what is needed is
With strong troops and military exploits, it is not difficult for you to gather 1,100 soldiers. As long as you let the younger ones go to other camps, your 1,100 soldiers are guaranteed to be gathered. However,
Food and salary will need to be paid extra.
In addition, your generals also need to be taken care of, otherwise it will not look good on you if the generals cause trouble."
Yun Zheng looked up to the sky and laughed for a long time. He patted the Hua Lao soldier hard and said, "If I tell you, as long as you find all my subordinates for me, if you don't want to be a soldier, you can become a steward in my house."
I'm not going to lie to you. Ask Han Niu and Monkey how much money the stewards in my house spend per month. Which of the few people who followed me in suppressing bandits in Yuanshan back then had a few hundred ounces of silver in hand and was the boss of the family?
Girl, one month’s expenses are no less than five guan!”
Hua Lao's soldier took a breath. It's not that he didn't believe Yun Zheng's words. He had seen it in the Yun family. The servants in the family didn't wear patched clothes. The maids still had hairpins in their hair and the lame butler's waist.
A piece of jade pendant hanging in the middle is shining in the dim light. It is as warm and moist as water. It doesn't look like a cheap plant. I'm afraid it won't be taken down if it doesn't have more than a dozen jade pendants.
His heart was burning when he thought that he could become a steward in the house, not for anything else but for the delicious meal he had at Yun's house. He felt it was very worthwhile, especially when he saw the master's family, the servants, and what he had eaten.
It's all the same. This is managing the family like a military camp. Only the descendants of famous generals will maintain this style at all times.
Thinking of this, he knelt down on one knee and said: "General, no, Patriarch, little Peng Jiu is willing to work to the death for the Patriarch. I just hope that the Patriarch can reward me with a hot meal for my whole family."
"Peng Jiu, please think clearly. Although the food in my house is delicious, it is not delicious. The Yun family does not tolerate betrayal. Once you enter the Yun family, unless I agree, you will die in the Yun family!"
Yun Zheng said these words in a stern voice, not allowing Peng Jiu to have any illusions.
Peng Jiu kowtowed again and said: "The younger one is also an old man in the military. He knows how military laws govern the family. The younger one's family of seven will not be able to survive. So he voluntarily entered the Yun family and begged the head of the family for help!"
Yun Zheng nodded, took out an ingot of three taels of silver from his arms and threw it to Peng Jiu: "I am not short of hungry soldiers. I came out in a hurry and didn't bring any copper coins. This little money is your first month's allowance. Use it."
Send your family to the Yun family, and Madam will naturally make arrangements. As for gathering the soldiers, what are you going to do?"
Peng Jiuqiang resisted the urge to stuff the silver into his mouth and bite it, carefully put it into his arms, and said with a smile: "Master, this is actually very easy. You want soldiers, but other generals don't want them."
Soldiers, there are many people who can't be driven away. As long as I talk to the chief clerk who I know well, I will definitely get this manpower. You don't know, our Wu Sheng Army has more than 8,600 people.
.”
Yun Zheng patted Peng Jiu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I found that those people don't seem to have enough to eat. If you go to other bookkeepers to buy food, don't let them suffer, just buy it at the market price. Newcomers will always have to pay for it."
Brothers, please have a good meal, so that you will not waste your time following Mr. Yun. Let Monkey accompany you. When choosing soldiers, remember to pick some who are honest and honest, and do not want any ruffians."
"The superior officers in our camp..."
Halfway through Peng Jiu's words, he saw the gloomy expression on Yun Zheng's face. How could he, as a seasoned veteran, not know what his master was planning. I'm afraid those people would be in trouble.
Seeing Peng Jiu and several brothers he knew well, muttering for a while, those people immediately changed from lifeless to cheerful. Seeing Peng Jiu constantly showing off the ingot of silver, Yun Zheng said
Know that your plan will work 80% of the time.
Since arriving at the military camp, he found that the army was not in good shape and the number of people was not uniform. Yun Zheng knew that Zhang Fangping was going to deal with him. He probably had to kill thirty people with a powerful stick first. The reasons were all ready. Eating empty pay and neglecting the army were two crimes that led to beheading.
That's enough. Hitting dozens of military sticks would be an advantage for me. That one phone call I made made Zhang Fangping worthless. The guy wanted to use me and polish his edges. He could only defeat him. He was afraid of being beaten.
, so that it is easy to use.
How could Yun Zheng give him such an opportunity? This night is his opportunity. As long as he gathers enough people and makes the army more orderly, he can get through at midnight tomorrow morning. As for whether others are unlucky, Yun Zheng
He didn't care at all. His officials and subordinates knew that he was coming, but they didn't know to greet him or report him. Who did they think he was?
The camp where the officers lived was in a flat and cool place. Yun Zheng didn't intend to disturb them. After walking around, he found that there were actually singing prostitutes singing wild songs there. The prostitutes who appeared in the military camp were probably not high-end goods. Yun Zheng didn't intend to disturb them.
Zheng didn't bother him and asked Peng Jiu's brothers to help him pitch his tent by the river with the soldiers.
This move immediately attracted the attention of the sergeants. Yun Zheng ignored them and just ordered the few men he could control to start preparing pots and stoves by the river. Dozens of large pots were lined up, and the rice brought by Peng Jiu
Just pour it into a big pot, military rations? Even if you are on the riverside, you don't bother to wash it, just pour in a few buckets of water and start steaming the rice.
The soldiers didn't understand what this young man was going to do. They just heard from those people that this was the new arrival in Du Yuhou. They smelled the fragrance of rice and swallowed dryly, but they didn't dare to come forward.
The sky was getting dark, and Yun Zheng shouted at the group of people: "Are you going to just eat dry rice? Go look for wild vegetables immediately. If you can't find it, you won't have anything to eat!" Hearing that the rice was prepared for him,
With a bang, the group of people ran to the riverside to look for wild vegetables. There were a lot of water celery and other things along the riverside.
Han Niu grinned and laughed at those people, helping Yun Zheng watch the fire. After a while, someone found the wild vegetables, cleaned them and handed them to Yun Zheng. Yun Zheng took a knife and chopped them into several sections and threw them into the boiling water pot.
Seeing that the wild vegetables were almost there, he took out a large piece of bacon from the horse bag and cut it into the pot with his own knife. The slices of meat fell into the pot like snowflakes, and the throats of those people throbbed even more fiercely.
