The sun rises as usual.

The commander of Nanyangwei prepared to set off, and the strong Xiangshan was transferred to half of the banner army, and the remaining four were each out of 100 households, and finally General Chen's family was added, and the Guangzhou government requisitioned mules and horses as soon as they arrived, and the thousands of troops set off.

It took a long time to pick up troops and explain the matters after leaving, the key was to bring strong soldiers or new soldiers, and then considered simply picking half of each, five hundred veterans and five hundred new soldiers, led by Deng Zilong and Hu Liangpeng, respectively, and set off north.

Deng Zilong doesn't need to say it, he is the face of General Chen, Hu Liangpeng is seconded by Chen Mu from the Guangzhou battalion, this Hu Daxiong used to be the head of Qi Jiguang's baggage team, the artillery is the old business, Qi Jiguang is the old boss, and it is easy to talk when he arrives in Jizhen.

The neighing of mules and horses, the creaking of wheels, set out on their first journey in four years.

Chen Mu had just left Guangzhou Mansion on the front foot, and the Tanma from Guangxi followed behind, and his son was sent back by Yin Zhengmao, saying that Yin Zhengmao, who should be rewarded for his meritorious service on the battlefield, would report it, but let him discipline Xiaoba in the future.

The letter was unclear, which made Chen Mu scratch his head.

By the time Xiao Ba drooped his head and led the soldiers to follow the queue, he had already left Guangdong and entered the Fujian territory, and he looked like he was in trouble again.

"What's the matter, I was driven back by the governor, and I won't be allowed to fight."

Xiao Ba was silent, and the soldiers next to him explained to Chen Mu angrily: "General, don't blame the eighth master, those Tuzhizhou military leaders are too bullying!" ”

"Guilin they didn't hold it, they were recaptured by more than 20 cannons under the command of the eighth master, collapsed the city gatehouse, and killed the rebel thieves defending the city, making the first contribution. Look at the eyes, someone at the celebration banquet ridiculed the eighth master, and drank too much wine, so they made jokes. ”

Xiao Ba's face flushed with shame, the smile on Chen Mu's face gradually faded, and asked, "What did they say?" ”

The family approached Chen Mu and whispered: "They say that the eighth master has no father, so he has to recognize a commander as a father." ”

"Who said that?" Chen Mu narrowed his eyes, "What happened later?" ”

"Later......" The family was indignant in front, but he didn't dare to say it later, so he paused before saying: "The eighth master drew a knife at the celebration banquet, and chased after the thousand households of Gutian and asked him to hand over the head. ”

Hand over the head?

Chen Mu felt that Yin Zhengmao was already very interesting, there was such a big mess at the banquet and no one was detained, the cannon was given away in vain, and it was not bad if people could come back.

"A thousand households in Gutian? Okay, Xiaoba didn't do anything wrong in this matter, next time you drink too much, you have to be a little strategic, don't be like a reckless man. Chen Mu mentioned a few words, waved his hand to let everyone else down, and then let Hachiro sit down in the tent and asked, "Has the anger disappeared?" ”

Always said that it was Xiaoba, Xiaoba, but in fact, he was already a seven-foot heroic adult, shook his head and said, "Father, in fact, I'm not angry." ”

"Not angry?"

Chen Mu was angry when he heard it, if he was there in person, he was afraid that he would beat the thousand households tied to the pillar, of course, if he couldn't say that kind of thing to others, but Hachiro said that he was not angry now, Chen Mu was a little incredulous.

"What I said is true." Hachiro raised his head, his narrow eyes were bright, "I'm not angry, I just want his head." ”

Call!

Chen Mu got up and opened the curtain, and the night breeze blew the air with the fragrance of earth.

He's such a cool son!

Looking back, Chen Mu smiled and said, "Look, you are much stronger than Zhang Qianhu." If he wants to kill anyone, he can only run to the land where no one is there and cut down the tree, and you can just draw the knife and ask him to hand over the head. ”

"Zhang Fool ......"

Obviously, Chen Bazhi didn't think that his adoptive father was praising himself.

Poor Zhang Qianhu even looks down on his son. Hachiro's words made Chen Mu realize that Hachiro had changed from a dead child to a dead teenager, and he might become a dead young man next.

In short, this bastard's temperament may not be eliminated.

"Whether you think others are stupid, or who you want to take, don't blurt out like a reckless man." Chen Mu pinched Hachiro's face and said with a smile: "Put it in your heart, don't always think about killing people until you have to." ”

"Look at Zhang Qianhu cutting down trees, how stupid." Chen Mu smiled, "Don't sit still, you have to hurry tomorrow morning, you are with Zong Lian, by the way, have you taken a fancy to any girl, and your father will propose marriage to you." ”

Hachiro thought carefully and shook his head slowly, "Can I change the artillery drill code, the muzzle of the cannon is too high to be practical, and it is not accurate to hit it far away, and it is enough for five catties of artillery to hit eight hundred steps." Guangxi hits Guilin, and even the city gate tower can't be beaten out of 800. ”

Didn't you mean girls?

Chen Mu nodded and said, "Okay, you can change it, I'll see it after the change, there is time to change along the way." ”

Hachiro left, leaving Chen Mu alone to sit in the tent for a long time, full of emotion. He watched Hachiro grow up from childhood to adulthood, and the little guy who didn't know anything grew into a young man today, who could dance a knife, ride a horse, be able to use a gun, and also operate a cannon, and take the artillery team to Guangxi to make personal favors, and he could make meritorious contributions on the battlefield.

It's a pity that the personality is not very good, and the success of the battle makes some mess to make people lose their feelings.

"General, there are many scholars on the road, do you want to accept them along?"

On the way to Beijing, it was very lively, and the students who were waiting for the autumn season were all entering Beijing to take the exam during this time, Chen Mu happily agreed, and said with a smile: "Last year was not a good year, Songjiang was hungry, and the road may not be too peaceful. ”

Among these people, there is an old man, who is over sixty years old, and has not been ranked several times, he is a fellow villager of Hu Liangpeng, named Ye Chaorong, because he is too old, Chen Mu specially prepared a carriage for him to ride.

The artillery carriage is not very familiar, and there are more bumps, but it can only reduce the pain of rushing.

Hu Liangpeng is very happy, Deng Zilong commanded the army, he was happy to be idle, rode a horse and whipped to inspect the gun carriage on the official road, and chatted with the old man next to the car in his spare time, and the old man served him almost bowed.

Although he looks simple, like a big bear, he is loyal and honest, and he is very popular with the old people, and he has repeatedly explained to Hu Liangpeng that his daughter has been out of the cabinet, otherwise he has to be allowed to give it to him.

Chen Mu didn't know that next year's Spring Festival would miss the old man again, and he would be overjoyed. In another world, Lao Juren's second son later helped his father realize two dreams, and was admitted to Jinshi twelve years later, and promised the daughter of Lao Juren's third son to Hu Daxiong's son.

In that story, Hu Daxiong, who came to run at the time, was the governor of Fujian who hung the seal of the barbarian general, and the old man who couldn't pass the entrance examination was later called the father of the solitary phase, and the son he taught was called Ye Xianggao, who was in charge of cabinet affairs for seven years.

Along the way, Chen Mu heard that there was a great hunger in the fields of Yingtianfu, and Hai Ruishi used work to repair the bridge and the Jun River, but the road was still hungry all over the place.

When Chen Mu left Fujian, he let Deng Zilong supervise the army and led his family to Songjiang Huating to visit Xu Jie, he saw another scene - the people were crying on the road because of Hai Rui's dismissal, and the scholars held a banquet to celebrate with wine and bullets.

Hai Jui's time is over.
