Chapter 68: Muroyama
Seeing the Qingyuan Guard Army again, Chen Mu only felt like a world away, and he believed that this was the feeling in Bai Yuanjie's heart.
Muroyama North Road, the garrison of the Qingyuan Guard.
Located in the north of Wengyuan and backed by the Qujiang River in Shaozhou, Muroshan was not a military stronghold in this battle to pacify Li Yayuan, but nothing more than a barrier against the rout of the thieves and the impact of the state capital. There is no need to worry about the transportation of baggage, the mountain road is narrow and occupies the geographical advantage, only a few crossings need to be sealed, and a few watchtowers are erected on the mountain, which can ensure that everything is safe.
Chen Mu and his entourage led troops from Xinjiang Town for a few days, and when they entered the foot of the mountain, they saw several military villages surrounding the east, west and north of the mountain road.
The flag army swimming by the stream, throwing weapons and armor indiscriminately on the shore; Under the shade of the trees, the small flag officer bathed in the wooden barrel bare-chested, and hundreds of households were shirtless and surrounded by the flag army to play leaf cards and play horse hanging; The five or six banner troops squatted together to gamble and drink; Of course, there are also those who cheer and fight cocks around the chicken pen that have been erected.
The seven or eight hundred banner troops of the guard station simply made the military village like a temple fair, shouting and screaming endlessly.
Bai Yuanjie, who was approaching with the troops, was extremely embarrassed, and Chen Mu, who was walking next to him, obviously felt that the anger in Bai Deputy Qianhu's heart was soaring, frowning as if he wanted to pull out a knife and kill someone.
People stay on the tragic battlefield for a long time, and the reverence for life in their hearts will become less and less, but Chen Mu feels very normal, and he is not as full of anger as the flag army behind him who also retreated from the battlefield.
Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar Qingyuan guards, Chen Mu had only one thought...... Fuck, this is the soldier of this era!
Facing the Qi family army under Wang Rulong's subordinates all day long is too much pressure.
"Hey, which hundred households are here, there are so many people!"
The cockfighting banner army saw Chen Mu and his party from a distance, and they all turned their heads and ears, "It doesn't look like a guard, but this flag should be our Qingyuan guard." ”
The same armored soldier, neatly dressed and walking, is the same as lying on the edge of the bathtub with his head exposed, can it be the same?
"Blind to your eyes, that's Bai Qianhu and Chen Zongqi in the bloody battle of Xinjiang Town, assemble, Zhang Baihu ordered to assemble!"
didn't give Bai Yuanjie a chance to be angry, a few flag soldiers ran out of the gate of the camp in the west and scolded the idle soldiers around him, Chen Mu looked at it and felt that the leader was a little familiar, and glanced at Bai Yuanjie, and then heard Qianhu say: "It's the old man under Zhang Yongshou, and it looks like it's also the general flag now." ”
Hearing the familiar name, Chen Mu's face burst into laughter, "Zhang Baihu is still alive, it's a good thing!" ”
He didn't have any bad thoughts about this, it was just because there were only a few acquaintances, and so many soldiers who had been training for half a year said that they would die, and suddenly heard a familiar name, and there was a little grudge exchange, and it was a good thing to survive.
"What kind of style is this?" Bai Yuanjie was a little puzzled by Zhang Yongshou's subordinates' general banner calling the surrounding hundreds of subordinate banner armies to assemble, these things were not Zhang Yongshou's turn to do.
Bai Yuanjie glanced at Chen Mu and said: "It seems that Yongshou has been waiting for us here for a long time, I grew up with him, he loves to smile and has a lot of eyes, and does things by unscrupulous means, although he is not a bad person, but you have to be careful." ”
Chen Mu nodded clearly, Zhang Yongshou's personality traits had been known to him as early as the night battle in Heiling, and even at that time, because of Zhang Yongshou's unscrupulous means to achieve his goals, he was afraid for a few days.
But now?
Chen Mu smiled, seeing Zhang Yongshou walking out of the camp with a few flag soldiers, and said hello to the few hundred households around who came out to greet Bai Yuanjie, and then walked in front of the hundreds of households and smiled at Bai Yuanjie and Chen Mugong after a few steps: "Bai Qianhu, Chen Zongqi, I wish the two of them a great victory in the battle of Xinjiang!" Ha ha! ”
"Jingchen, Chen Erlang, a few hundred households originally wanted to celebrate you with wine at the foot of the mountain, but they were stopped by Zhang, I said that you are really doing great things, Jingchen, you have to prepare the garrison when you come over, and you can't be strict with military law after drinking."
Zhang Yongshou smiled, what he said was very insightful, and he stepped forward and said: "So Zhang Mou is arrogant, don't let them set up wine, and give the flag army a few days of rest before you come, Jingchen don't be surprised." ”
Zhang Yongshou's words were echoed by several hundred households, Bai Yuanjie didn't say anything, nodded and said: "In this case, Bai will camp first, and divide the defense in the evening." ”
Several hundred households saluted each other, and then dispersed to restrain the banner army, Bai Yuanjie ordered the barbarian camp to place the military tent first and arrange it in front of the mountain road. Zhang Yongshou also returned to the camp, but before leaving, he smiled at Bai Yuanjie and Chen Mu: "When I finish handling military affairs, I will go to you in the evening to discuss something." ”
In the afternoon, the two took a few flag soldiers to climb the mountains and wade through the water, and surveyed the terrain around the mountain, and when they returned to the camp, Bai Yuanjie had already arranged the defense affairs in his chest, so he summoned 100 households and arranged them.
The 700 households, including Zhang Yongshou, who were controlled by Bai Yuanjie, were reorganized after the war, with more than 500 posts under their jurisdiction, and more than 700 people in Bai Yuanjie's headquarters.
There are three mountain roads in the north of Muroyama, with four hundred households, one of the main mountain roads, and the remaining three hundred households guarding the mountain passes; Outside the mountain road, three hundred households are guarded and camped, and each is responsible for patrolling and stationing.
Bai Yuanjie's headquarters and Chen Mu's banner army were also stationed in the camp, and it didn't matter what the other hundred households thought of Bai Yuanjie, but in his and Chen Mu's hearts, they both knew one fact - in the event of a war, the banner army of each hundred households was unreliable.
The truly effective combat power is only more than 100 barbarian battalions and more than 70 banner troops under Chen Mu's command.
Others, just a strong momentum, waving the flag and shouting.
After a few hundred households dispersed, Zhang Yongshou left the Chinese military tent and went out for a turn and came back with a smile, and said to the two people in the tent with a smile: "Jingchen, Chen Erlang, retire others, only the three of me can know about this matter." ”
He smiled and grinned, making it impossible to figure out what medicine was sold in the gourd, Bai Yuanjie stepped down from the tent according to his words, and then he smiled and said: "I want to tell you the funeral news, Qingcheng Qianhu died in Huizhou half a month ago!" ”
said that it was the funeral news, Zhang Yongshou did not have the slightest sadness on his face, but he couldn't hold back the joy, so he almost celebrated with a crown, "Jingchen, Qingcheng Qianhu, how is it?" ”
Bai Yuanjie had no sadness or joy on his face, and he didn't answer, but asked, "What do you think?" ”
"Don't worry, Zhang knows that you definitely want Chen Erlang to do it, Zhang doesn't take the favor of others, and he will be raised from the Qingcheng of Liupin." Zhang Yongshou restrained his smile after speaking, and said emphatically, "Qingcheng Fu." ”
Qingcheng deputy thousand households?
Chen Mu turned his head and glanced at Bai Yuanjie, but Bai Yuanjie didn't want to answer this doubt at all, frowned and said to Zhang Yongshou: "This time, General Yu is on top, and there is no military merit, which is difficult." ”
"It's not difficult, it's not just Zhang, thanks to Chen Erlang's blessing, feed the flag army like a wolf, the battle of Huizhou, the camp is not chaotic, after the generals defeated the enemy, Zhang led his troops to kill sixty-seven enemies."
"I still need two hundred houses." Zhang Yongshou was still smiling, looking at Chen Mu patting his leg and smiling with satisfaction: "Not only do you Jingchen have Chen Erlang to help, but Zhang also has capable subordinates by his side!" ”
"Let's get a team, you can fight, and Zhang can also make meritorious contributions."
Bai Yuanjie's face was revealed, he raised his hand to grind the short beard under his jaw for a moment, and said something that surprised Chen Mu incomparably, and said: "Qingyuan can't do it without a cannon, and thirty percent of the copper dug by your family will be put into storage." ”

Note: When Ming Dynasty documents mention mine theft, the word military and civilian is usually used together, because the people who open mines in the wild mountains in various places are displaced people, and the ownerless mountains around the garrison are the guard officials who send their families to open furnaces and smelt mines privately.
