CHAPTER XXXIV
From the moment Xu Jue showed his tail, Chen Mu knew what he was scheming.
It's just that he is the head of the outer guards, and he won't be able to make any friends in the future, although he doesn't know each other, he holds it high, and the pit is enough this time.
As a commander in brocade clothes like him, he bowed to the top of the ten-year-old general, bowed down several times, not to mention the military attachΓ©, even if he didn't have a direct subordinate civil official, he couldn't stand it, and his heart must be beautiful to the sky.
Thousands of calculations, not counting Chen Mu is also a two-skin face.
For Xu Jue, seeing this deputy chief soldier was really tired, and his face cramped with a smile, and the matter was not done yet.
How could Chen Mu let Xu Jue's matter be done, bringing a recruitment of more than 2,000 soldiers, he reported 5,000 people, if he let this matter happen, he would be the No. 1 fool in Tianzi.
In the middle of the night, the lights of the yamen of the Changping Prefecture primary school were still on, and the two masters in the yamen sent out the news that the family soldiers and the brocade guards were withdrawn, and they went into the small school barracks to rest, looking for someone to prepare wine and food, leaving seven or eight intimate siblings each, and then the lanterns outside the yamen were extinguished.
Xu Jue changed his clothes, and he couldn't scare Chen Mu if he was dressed anyway, so he simply took off his armor inside, and sat in the hall in a single-cover flying fish suit waiting for Chen Mu, with thick eyebrows and big eyes on the side of the hall and three gifts to be transferred to Feng Bao through his hand.
It's all good things, don't talk about ivory, it's a rare item, but you can still buy it in Beijing for a lot of money. The latter two, which may not be very valuable, but rare is expensive, whether it is a chiming bell or a gold wire forging, this is something that you can't buy if you want to buy.
Xu Jue went to take off his clothes, and Chen Mu went to get dressed, not too much, wearing a scarlet robe and a tiger carved bracer, and carrying two handcuffs to walk out of the back hall.
"Phew!"
Xu Jue, who was originally sitting in the hall, looked sideways, exclaimed in surprise and showed the embarrassing action of wanting to run but being stopped by his mind, and raised his two fingers to point at Chen Mu, "You, why did the virtuous brother come out?" β
Bang Bang!
"My brother and I hit it off at first sight, please be sure to accept it!"
Chen Muquan didn't see Xu Jue's surprise, two carved handcuffs on the tea case, pushed it horizontally, Chen Mu's words were also much more serious, and said: "The younger brother came to Beijing to receive the order of the training sergeant of the military department, and the day before yesterday he sent a message to the commanders of the guards under his jurisdiction, asking them to count the amount of the flag army, and not to fool me with the vacancy in the register." β
"Now my brother asked Chen to fool others with the same thing, how will I manage others in the future, so I can't do it, this is my difficulty." Chen Mu spread his hands and asked, "What is the difficulty of my brother, could it be that before the handover of soldiers and horses, he had already reported to the imperial court to recruit 5,000 people?" β
"Not really."
Just kidding, it's really reported to the court, can you tell you?
"How much can a virtuous brother report?"
"If someone else sends 5,000 people, Chen has to persuade him to go back 3,000, and 2,000 is enough." Chen Mu pointed his fingers at the old god, "But since it is the elder brother who escorts the soldiers and horses, two thousand three hundred and eighteen people, Chen will accept them all and report two thousand three hundred and eighteen people, how about it!" β
The reason why he said this was that Deng Zilong came to report that the soldiers were still in good health, otherwise Chen Mu's decision was that he would return at least half of the number of people who came. There are more soldiers in the elite but not in the majority, and more and lower quality can only waste food and ordnance, and cannot play their due role.
"It's better to be like this, you report 4,000 soldiers, and get 2,000 sets of armor from the Arsenal Division for your brother."
Chen Mu scratched his head, Xu Jue was really persistent, but he still refused, and said: "All the ordnance is prepared in the next place, and it will be mobilized from the south, and this matter has been discussed with the Ministry of War." β
Xu Jue said this to the wrong person, the Arsenal Division is a subordinate unit of the Ministry of War, Chen Mu is not the commander of those foreign guards who has nothing to do with the Beijing Division, the six departments and three divisions, and his familiarity with the Ministry of War is even far greater than that of the capital commander directly under him.
Even if the king of Hades is easy to see that the little ghost is difficult, and it is Chen Mu's unique skill to flatter a handful of silver, if he wants, Chen Mu himself can come up with enough knives and guns from the Arsenal Division.
"Transferred from the south, this road is far away, shouldn't the virtuous brother listen to the proverb of the Jingshi, so he can't trust the Arsenal Division, right?" Xu Jue saw that Chen Mu couldn't splash the water, raised three fingers and said, "Three thousand, the virtuous brother can report the number of three thousand, right?" β
Xu Jue was a little confused about Chen Mu's path, and there was still room for this, in order to wait for Chen Mu to tell the reason why he wanted to give gifts to Feng Bao through himself...... But the more he asked, the more he felt that Chen Mu was not in a hurry at all.
He has only been out to recruit soldiers for half a year, is it possible that now it is popular in Beijing to offer this set of courtesy?
But if you have nothing to do, three gifts, just take out the same is enough, you will give such a valuable gift at the beginning, if you really want to do things in the future, do you have anything else to give?
"Two thousand three hundred and eighteen." Chen Mu saw Xu Jue's eyes occasionally looking at the gift he had prepared, although he didn't know what Xu Jue was thinking, but he knew that it was time to take another step, so he turned his head to look at the gift and said to himself: "Chen Mou just woke up and his mind was chaotic, could these three things be bought by the internal official Zhang Da entrusted by Chen?" β
Xu Jue understood, this surname Chen is to be courteous and courteous, and it is clear that he should correct his mentality, these things are Chen Mu sending Xu Jue to Feng Bao, not Chen Mu asking Xu Jue to send Feng Bao, he doesn't ask for people, so such a good thing may not only be done by him Xu Jue.
"Two thousand three hundred and eighteen is two thousand three hundred and eighteen." Xu Jue was so unhappy that he yawned while playing with the two handcuffs, in his opinion, there was nothing to talk about with Chen Mu, so he heard Chen Mu clapping his hands and shouting: "Someone!" Things are loaded by the commander. β
"Brother, don't worry, it's all here, it's better to stay for one night, the next person has prepared wine and food, and the right to wash the dust." After that, he pressed the handcuff sideways and asked Xu Jue: "The long night is long, what is the proverb of the Jingshi that Fang just said?" β
"There are four unreliable in this capital, don't you know?" Xu Jue originally got up to leave, but his butt didn't leave the chair, and he leaned back and said: "That Jingshi proverb says that the Hanlin Academy article, the arsenal is a sword and a gun; Guanglu Temple tea soup, too hospital prescription, said that it has a virtual surface, but not applicable. β
"You're very interesting, let's talk more in the future."
Chen Muxin said that this Xu Jue is really cheeky, and he just said that he would get 2,000 sets of arsenal swords and guns for himself, and in a blink of an eye, he said that the arsenal division swords and guns were empty.
But it's not annoying, this is a smart person, I'm afraid that if Chen Mu doesn't ask, he will say it himself, at least he will say it himself and others say it, and the effect of listening to it in Chen Mu's ears is different.
After a feast, it was late at night when he was full of wine and food, Xu Jue stayed in the small school field for a night, and left the next day, General Chen got 2,300 battalions of troops to transfer Deng Zilong and Hu Liangpeng.
I just don't know, is the flag army of Sanwei the same number as the actual flag army?
