Chen Mu saw that Deng Zilong was here to relax.

But what Chen Mu didn't understand was that he was treated unfairly, there were so many excellent wine shops in the prosperous Guangzhou Mansion for ten miles, why did Deng Zilong just run hundreds of miles to such a corner of Qingyuanwei and find his own district flag to drink.

"It's like a joke in Guangcheng, and it's not happy to stay in my heart." Deng Zilong waved his hand, took two sips of the small jar of Qingcheng old wine, sat cross-legged with a slight drunkenness, stretched out his hand and pointed outside the yamen, and said: "It's better for you to come here, you can see what the guard looks like, the future is uncertain, let's talk about comfort?" ”

"We are not civil officials, and no one in our hometown has built a shrine for us, but the military dependents can't fight." Deng Zilong seemed to be talking to himself, and it was also like explaining himself, "I can't let my comrades poke their backbones in the back and scold my ancestors!" ”

Chen Mu's eyes were filled with Deng Zilong holding the small wine jar in his eyes, but what he thought in his heart was that Deng on the bank of the Xinjiang River would kill the commander-in-chief and the battalion soldiers in all directions.

"Actually, I know about you in Guangcheng, a few days ago, my flag officer went to Guangcheng to buy horses, and I heard about it." Chen Mu took two sips of the wine bowl, then looked at Deng Zilong and said, "You did the right thing, but you have to lead the troops, it may be better." ”

After three glasses of wine, Chen Mu didn't have any scruples when he spoke to Deng Zilong, and said casually: "You pacified the Nanshan bandits in Xinjiang Town, and fought a bloody battle with the rebels on the banks of Xinjiang, even if you have no merit in transferring troops to Heyuan with General Wang, these feats are enough for you to be promoted to garrison." ”

Deng Zilong didn't speak, why didn't he understand, the promotion to the garrison authority has increased greatly, and he has been promoted to the deputy thousand households of the guard, and the name is the sixth rank to the fifth grade, but he is not from the guard, in the environment of the guard, who has been in the army for generations, where can he compare to being a garrison?

Just a little bit more?

"You didn't go, but I heard that the military dependents who went to the yamen of the state capital to explain the law were still not injured, and the doctors at Huimin Pharmacy were too busy." Chen Mu shook his head, "If you go and persuade them away, maybe no one will be injured, and the official position of the garrison will be in hand - don't feel sorry for yourself, there is nothing wrong with the deputy thousand households, and only if you are promoted to a hundred households in the guard, you can only be considered an official!" ”

It's not that Chen Mu didn't want to continue, but he suddenly reacted, it's too undignified to put an afterthought at this time, but the afterthought has already been released, except to tell him that the guards are not bad, what else can he do?

"Only when you rise to 100 households can you be considered an official." Deng Zilong was obviously attracted by Chen Mu's words, and said, "How can you say this?" ”

Chen Mu is also interested, he has been in this era for more than a year, and he has never chatted with others, either busy practicing martial arts to save his life or busy working the battlefield. At the moment, I drank a few bowls of wine, and the conversation was high, and I simply crossed my legs like a few treasures.

"The Weisho army is slack, needless to say, everyone knows it, but if you look at Chen's banner army and Bai Qianhu's brute, don't talk about the comparison with General Wang's soldiers, just talk about the guard." Chen Mu waved his hand and said, "Which flag army can stop it?" ”

Deng Zilong smiled when he saw Chen Mu's pride, but he didn't say anything.

Chen Mu's tone was exaggerated, but it was still within the range that Deng Zilong could accept, after all, he was young and had little knowledge.

The world's strong soldiers, the nine-sided knife licking blood to block the banner army of the Northern Captives Nuzhen is not to mention, the Dengzhou Wei born by Qi Jiguang is also superb; Even if you talk about Guangzhou, Fujian, there are still a few guards who can fight.

But I have to say that according to Chen Muqi's combat power in the south of the new Jiangnan, even against the most powerful guards in the southeast, the same strength can be a battle.

Training troops may not always be strong soldiers, but strong soldiers must have experienced strict and unique drills, and they must have experienced hard battles to the death.

"You know how to train soldiers and be brave, you don't need a bird gun or a cannon to lead a soldier, you can stab a bloody path with a quick gun and a big knife, and being a guard officer is definitely better than a battalion officer."

Deng Zilong shook his head, raised two fingers and said to Chen Mu: "I asked, the guard army not only fights, the guard officer is in charge of drills and tuntian, at most he has the responsibility of inspection." Tuntian, I'm a rough guy who can't do anything but fight and kill people, where is you Chen Zongqi's long-sleeved good dance! ”

I, Master Chen, are good at dancing with long sleeves?

"What are you talking about?"

Chen Mu scratched his face, this Deng Zilong drank too much, Chen Mu is really not a long-sleeved person who is good at dancing, how many people has he only known for more than a year? I want to cling to the powerful, Tan Lun hasn't replied to the letter so far, and Yu Dayou hasn't paid attention to him, the downward evaluation in the interpersonal circle is good, and several flag officials are like brothers, but they can go up...... It's a thousand households.

Maybe there can still be a Deng Zilong now.

Deng Zilong suddenly looked at Chen Muyi Xing Shan, "General Wang, I gave you the first credit for the Battle of Xinjiang, Chen Zongqi." ”

"Huh?"

Chen Mu put down the wine bowl, sneered, and said, "It was Bai Qianhu and Zhang Baihu who did it, they have been tired in Guangcheng for several days. ”

"I have a word with General Wang." Chen Muqiang pretended to be serious, made Wang Rulong's expression with a straight face, wrinkled the nasolabial folds out of the folds, and said in a thick voice: "General Qi has also done the same, it is made of bamboo, and it is a waste to go back and change it!" ”

Chen Mu learned Wang Rulong vividly, Deng Zilong hugged the wine jar and laughed, "It's too similar!" ”

Obviously, even if General Wang, who was heavily depressed in prison, led the army in Heyuan later, it also brought huge pressure to Deng Zilong.

"Don't care how the first merit came from, it's better to give it to you than to give it to me, don't care what merit you give me this time, it's all a waste." Deng Zilong's mood was a little better, or he was relieved, he poured the wine jar into his mouth, wiped his mouth and said: "Eh, I asked Chen Shoubei, I know something about the king's generals, do you want to hear it?" ”

Chen Guard, Chen Mu had the impression that Bai Yuanjie seemed to have mentioned that there was a guard surnamed Chen in Guangcheng, who was greedy.

As for Wang Rulong, Chen Mu smiled, he was very interested in most stories in this era, but General Wang's temperament was too boring, and he really didn't want to know.

It's a fierce general, and he doesn't get angry, but he can make people feel scared when he stands in front of him.

"I want to know if you Deng Qianhu have a way to ride and shoot, this matter is about to kill me."

Chen Junye still remembers the martial arts, the martial arts test, riding and archery is a hard standard, if his ability to shoot nineteen in this thirty-step salvo can't be changed, he will probably have nothing to do with martial arts in this life!

"Don't be in a hurry to ride and shoot, I'll teach you when I go back, and the "New Book of Ji Xiao" for you, all of which will be of great benefit to you, and you will make a lot of money with a meal!" Deng Zilong put the wine jar aside and told Chen Mu: "General Qi played 300,000 taels to build a battlefield to defend the Japanese at sea, and turned it into a military expenditure of 3 million taels, and it was indeed not embezzled, the money was gone." ”

"Gone?"

"Well, no. That year, the three major halls of the palace caught fire, and the treasury was in deficit again. Deng Zilong said with a smile: "I don't know where the three million taels were moved, everyone in the court was silent, and General Wang Shen hit the tip of the knife." ”

The sky outside the window was overcast, and the wind with a chill blew into the room, and the autumn rain began to fall, and heavy rain and fog rose from Qingyuan Mountain in the distance.

Chen Mu was silent for a long time, got up and carried the orchid on the windowsill into the house, and the flower branches were broken by the rain and a few long leaves hung into the soil, like Daming.

The empire has long been in turmoil, and everyone knows it.

Winter is coming.
