"The Jinyi Guards are going to be retrained. This official document has been signed by Cui Dutang and me, so it must have been notified to all your subordinates, right?" Lin Zhao asked calmly.
"Replying to your lord, everyone knows that the meeting has arrived. First, he summoned hundreds of households in various places to report it, and then rode around to watch what they passed."
"My subordinates directly arranged for a trustworthy person to keep an eye on them. They were all informed!"
Shen Cheng and Qian Zhenglun answered hurriedly. Lin Zhao nodded and said:
"Open the city gate at the quarter of the hour and gather here at half past the hour. That's what the military order says, right?"
"Your Excellency is right, that's exactly what the military order says."
Lin Zhao smiled and said:
"It's already Chen time."
After saying that, he walked towards the wooden platform.
The two Qianhu looked at each other and hurriedly followed the original instructions and stood at the predetermined position.
There were more than 600 people standing in the large open space, but there were just a few people here and a bunch of people there, making it look like a mess.
Some were laughing and chatting there, some were holding each other's arms and competing with each other, and some were just sitting down, not knowing whether they were reading or playing chess.
In fact, when they came in, Lin Zhao's guards had already arranged their positions for them.
But obviously, no one listened.
Instead, everyone stood randomly, and the crowds were noisy. It was more chaotic and lively than a vegetable market.
"Even though Yangzhou Wharf is busy with cargo and passenger traffic, it is not so chaotic." Lin Zhao said with a smile while standing on the wooden platform with his hands behind his back.
His confidant Lin Dafei, who was originally a servant of the Lin family but became a soldier in royal robes after retiring from citizenship, was standing in front of him and turned around and said: "Sir, the capital city is at the feet of the emperor. Originally, everyone was an outstanding person, but now it looks like
Come on, they are just a bunch of idiots Eryi. If such guys show up during our training in Yangzhou, I'm afraid they'll all be beaten to death with military sticks."
"Haha, after a hundred years of accumulation, there is no shortage of sand and mud. These hard-core farmers are not short of salary or fun, but they have nothing to do. There are not many motivated people. It is really normal to behave like this. After all, this is not a borderland, nor is it Yangzhou.
"
Lin Zhao replied with a smile, looked around, looked up at the position of the sun, and said loudly:
"Lin Dafei, let those who need training be gathered to the east. Be friendly and smile at each other. Don't get angry, and don't make any moves."
Lin Dafei's heart trembled, and he immediately agreed loudly.
Scanning Lin Zhao's eyes, he felt that the former master and current general was like an old fox, smiling kindly at the group of rabbits below.
According to what adults say when teaching on weekdays, this is called giving before you want to take it.
Or maybe it's the style of writing by literati, which calls for suppressing desires and then rising.
All in all, I seem to understand what you mean.
There is another unexplained feeling.
"Your Excellency is worthy of being the son of Tan Hua Gong. There are so many twists and turns in your belly."
Lin Dafei thought in his mind and took the order to handle it. Lin Zhao's personal guards stepped forward after receiving the order and began to persuade these people to go to the west. Lin Zhao issued the order, and the personal guards must obey it no matter how much they despised the newly trained recruits.
.
Standing on the wooden platform, the scene below could be clearly seen. The soldiers in uniforms who were chatting happily there were very impatient of being disturbed. However, Lin Zhao's personal guards were kind to him, so they just complained a few words and went anyway.
Went east.
After all, there are people coming in from outside who want to go through the west gate, so it's not good to be stuck there.
This thought flashed through someone's mind and then they were ignored.
After a long time of effort, all those people went to the east.
A few of them wanted not to give Lin Tongzhi face, but when they saw most of the people passing by, Lin Zhao's personal guards were all smiling. They said that they would not hit the smiling people, so they did not force themselves to stand still and move, one by one.
All has passed.
"Da Fei, since they have all passed, you have to arrange for dozens of people to keep an eye on them and not allow any new ones to pass, not even one!"
Lin Dafei nodded silently and led his men to work again.
Dozens of guards lined up in a row, standing straight like a straight line, separating the hundreds of people to the east.
Seeing these people standing like javelins, Lin Tongzhi on the stage seemed to be doing nothing else, so those who should chat continued to chat, those who should sing continued to sing, and some even sat down directly, drew a grid on the ground, and formed a formation
Play chess.
The new arrivals were stopped by the guards from entering the crowd on the east side. They cursed a few times but did not insist on much.
But when they talk to each other, the sound becomes even louder.
"I heard that Lin Zhao was riding on horseback to take office. Along the way, he was stopped twice by the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses. Cui Dutang and the others were also shocked. They don't know whether it was a joke or an embarrassment!"
"Looking at his pretentiousness, he really thinks he is someone."
"Except for a few salt merchants in Yangzhou, they raised their tails to the sky and actually wanted to show off their authority at the feet of the emperor."
"His father is a prodigy who will join the cabinet and serve as prime minister in the future, so he feels that he is confident. However, our Jinyi army has its own system and is closely connected with the civil servants. Who cares about his arrogance?"
"Training new recruits, they think they are border generals. They look like dogs and make such messy things. If I had known better, I wouldn't have come. Brothers, it would be great if you went to watch the show."
"That's right. We are gathering at Jinxiang Tower tonight. I heard that there are girls from Datong. The flavor is different from that in the south!"
The discussion kept coming and going, and the sound was quite loud.
Obviously, many words were deliberately said for Lin Zhao's personal guards to hear.
However, Lin Zhao's dozens of personal guards had been taught by Lin Zhao for four years. They all studied and practiced martial arts. They were all officers, and they did not take their cynicism seriously at all.
The so-called person whose heart is filled with thunder and whose face is like a flat lake can be worshiped as a general.
What's the point of all the talk in front of you?
So each one of them still stood like a javelin without moving at all.
After a while, Lin Zhao turned his head and looked at the sundial, and said with a smile:
"It's time!"
Then he raised his voice and said: "Close the door and no one else can come in!"
"Yes!" Lin Zhao's guards immediately ran to close the door.
In fact, at this time, there were still soldiers who wanted to come in, but the door was slowly closed, and they were not allowed to go in. They were not given any face, and few of them cared about those who were late.
Many people sneered and turned away.
Many people also screamed and whistled loudly.
Others shouted to people they knew well: "Zhang Laowu, brothers are going to Fuqing Building first, we won't wait for you! We won't have the girl by then, so don't worry about us."
"Li Laowu, let's go to Li Chun Tower to play first. Don't worry. When we get here tonight, you'll have time to have fun. You're not good at that anyway!"
Someone inside immediately yelled back: "Leave your grandmother's dog alone! I'll stand up to all four of you!"
"Hahaha, then you can slowly act like a monkey in there!"
Some people shouted, some laughed and cursed, and it was a mess, but the door was still closed. Lin Zhao looked at the direction of the door, nodded with a smile, and said:
"Please be quiet down there, I have something to say!!"
Lin Zhao's personal guards looked at each other, already feeling the coming storm, and each one of them suppressed a smile and continued to shout pleasantly to calm everyone down.
Since Lin Tongzhi's bodyguard was so good at being a good person, even though many soldiers didn't care, they still had to give him face.
So after a stick of incense, the chaotic scene slowly calmed down. Lin Zhao stood on the high platform, took a step forward, and shouted loudly: "At this point, it's time for everyone to drink tea and listen to the show.
The officer has no intention of wasting time and only issued a military order!"
"Hahaha……"
"Is this Lin Tongzhi also a member of the same group?"
"It's so funny, but it doesn't look like he has the sourness of a scholar."
"Let's hear what our Tongzhi has to say."
All the soldiers shouted at once,
At this time, Lin Zhao's face changed, and his tone suddenly became calm. His voice was not loud, but it rang in everyone's ears, as if he was speaking right next to everyone.
"According to military law, each latecomer has forty military sticks and will be executed immediately!"
