Chapter 33
The training of the recruits has been going on for five days, and in these five days, another 5,000 people have arrived at the Zhenjiang Army's garrison one after another.
Zhao Xu fulfilled his promise, and he didn't know where to find the 10,000 people stuffed into the Zhenjiang army. However, the Zhenjiang army also changed its garrison because of this, and the previous place was too small, with 5,000 people barely strong, and once the number exceeded 10,000, it could not be used.
Zhao Xu also came down to inspect it in person, and the effect was good, and the response of the soldiers was very enthusiastic. The recruits who were still a little resentful before, after Zhao Xu personally inspected it, the resentment was emptied at once.
If you can get the emperor's attention in the Zhenjiang army, what if you have to go to the battlefield to fight?
Therefore, the soldiers worked very hard during training, and some of the recruits even showed the qualifications to be able to join the Pingxia camp.
Gao Shu may have been a little hangy before, but now, he is a cold-faced general in the mouth of the soldiers of the Zhenjiang Army.
Not because he likes to eat cold noodles, but because this person is now cold to everyone. He exerted the combat power of the special forces of the Pingxia Battalion to the extreme, and if he had not taken the soldiers of the Pingxia Battalion to support him everywhere in the Battle of Xiaoguan, I am afraid that the other troops would not have been able to hold out until the reinforcements arrived.
However, his personality also changed a lot after that battle, with 800 elite warriors in the Pingxia camp, and only 200 people left after the Battle of Xiaoguan.
These 800 people are all good brothers who get along with Gao Shu day and night, and he can name each of them.
A battle has claimed the lives of 500 acquaintances, and the tall tree has become what it is now after a brief collapse.
It's not that Tang Ning didn't enlighten him, but no matter how Tang Ning persuaded him, he was still like that.
He doesn't interact with anyone, he always maintains a cold face, even when Tang Ning married Li Zi before, he just showed his face in a hurry, and then returned to the barracks.
His family in Tokyo persuaded him to start a family quickly, and after passing on the family to Lao Gao, his younger brother had already given birth to two children.
But Gao Shu's answer to this was, with his younger brother doing this, what else did he need to do it again?
All in all, the big change in the tall tree made Tang Ning unable to slow down. Thinking of the tall tree that he was teased by himself in the latrine, Tang Ning couldn't connect him with the current tall tree.
"Brother Yueyin!" Tang Ning walked over and patted Gao Shu's shoulder very enthusiastically, but Gao Shu only glanced at Tang Ning lightly, didn't speak, and continued to look at the school field in front of him.
The Pingxia camp needs fresh blood, and among the 10,000 soldiers trained in groups on the school ground, at least 700 people must be selected to fill the Pingxia camp.
Gao Shu didn't speak, and Tang Ning was a little embarrassed. So he looked up at the big sun in the sky and laughed, "Oops! Today's weather is really nice! Brother Yueyin, what do you say? ”
Takaki glanced at Tangning again, then turned his head again
Go. Just when Tang Ning was embarrassed and couldn't speak, Gao Shu spoke, "Is there something?" Say something if you have something. ”
Tang Ning looked back at Qi Fu, who was picking his nose, and said with a wink: "It's okay, I was just passing by, and I happened to see you here, Brother Yueyin, so I came over to say something." ”
"I don't have time for small talk." Gao Shu nodded and said, "If it's okay, the general will still leave me alone."
I'm looking to see if there are any recruits who can be pulled into the camp. ”
“…… Well, excuse me. Tang Ning sighed and left here with Lin Wei and Qi Fu.
Not long after Tang Ning left, Gao Shu turned his head to look in the direction Tang Ning had left.
After looking at it for a long time, Gao Shu finally slowly turned around. There was still no expression on his face, and he didn't say a word, so he didn't know what was going on in his heart.
Tang Ning didn't stay in the barracks long after leaving Gao Shu, and went back to Tokyo City directly, hoping to enter the palace to see Zhao Xu.
But soon, the eunuch came to tell Tang Ning, saying that Zhao Xu was riding a bicycle and didn't know where to ride, and they couldn't find it, so let Tang Ning go home first.
In this way, Tang Ning had no choice but to leave the palace, in fact, the purpose of his visit was to ask Zhao Xu how the experiment was going.
It doesn't matter if you don't see it, it's not a big deal.
Just as he was getting into the carriage, he suddenly heard someone calling out to him.
"General Tang!"
Turning his head to look, Tang Ning did have an urge to let Lin Wei drive and run quickly.
The person who came was none other than Cai Jing, the head of the household department.
Although I am unhappy in my heart, I still have to give the face that should be given. Tang Ning saw Cai Jing poke his head out of the curtain to greet him, so he also stretched out his hands from the car window, made a fist gesture and said, "Who is my Dao, it turned out to be Cai Shangshu."
I don't know what Lord Shangshu told him to live in? ”
"Gee, nothing else." Cai Jing smiled, but how did he look like an old fox: "I heard that General Tang took in a new concubine a few days ago, which is something worth celebrating."
However, on General Tang's good day, I was unable to attend because of family matters. Later, because of family affairs, I asked the official family for a few days off. Therefore, he was not able to congratulate General Tang in person.
Oh, the old man is really full of apologies......"
Nothing to be courteous or a thief, Cai Jing's words are worthy of Tang Ning's vigilance.
"Lord Shangshu is serious, Tang's matter, Lord Shangshu can remember, it has already made Tang feel honored. How dare Tang ask for more? ”
"Hey, don't say that." Cai Jing said with a smile: "Although the two of us are of different ages, we are officials in the same dynasty. And the old man has always been very kind to the young offspring
Good feeling, General Tang in any way, makes the old man want to be close to you. ”
"Lord Shangshu loves him, and Tang can't stand it."
"What's wrong with this, you are a junior, the old man is an elder, and the old man cares for you, isn't it a matter of course?"
“……”
"The old man has already sent his subordinates back to the house, and he will send the prepared congratulatory gifts to General Tang's mansion in a while, and ask General Tang to accept them with a smile."
"Lord Shangshu's gift, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for Tang to accept it, right? Why don't you go to the house to thank you in person another day? ”
"The gift should be received or received, if General Tang intends to visit, the old man will naturally welcome it with both hands." Cai Jing laughed.
Tang Ning was speechless, and Cai Jing obviously wanted to win him over. I don't know if it's because of Cai Bian or because of some other reason.
But Tang Ning didn't want to have anything to do with Cai Jing, although this bad old man wrote a good hand and called it difficult to find a daughter, but his character was completely exposed after Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne.
There was a strong enemy outside, and there were six thieves led by Cai Jing to disturb Chaogang, which was the key to the final fall of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Just as Tang Ning was about to open the skylight and say something bright, and simply refused Cai Jing, he suddenly thought that if Zhao Xu still failed to give birth to a boy in the past few years, and the Empress Dowager Xiang did not die, wouldn't the person who inherited the throne still belong to Zhao Ji?
And Cai Jing and Zhao Ji have a very good relationship because of calligraphy and painting. Maybe it's a relationship that you can take advantage of?
He has promised Zhao Xu that whether he is alive or dead, he will recover the sixteen states of Yanyun. And if Zhao Xu dies, good relations with the new emperor are also the top priority in the recovery work.
Cai Jing is undoubtedly a person who can be used, and in order to complete the agreement with Zhao Xu, Tang Ning does not mind using some small means. Even if it will be sprayed by future generations for hundreds or thousands of years, he doesn't care.
So Tang Ning changed his mind, put on a smiling face and said, "Then thank you Lord Shangshu!" ”
Cai Jing was very happy, stroked his beard and laughed: "It's okay, it's okay!" In the future, if General Tang is famous, don't forget the old man! Hahaha! ”
In the hypocritical laughter of Tang Ning and Cai Jing, the two said goodbye to each other and went home.
"Brother-in-law, that old thing doesn't look good at first glance, why do you still talk and laugh with him." Before retracting into the car, Qi Fu asked with a frown.
Tang Ning looked at Qi Fu and said, "You also have twenty-four this year, right?" ”
Qi Fu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well, brother-in-law, why are you asking this?" ”
"I'm not too young, it's time to ask for a wife. Your sister is still waiting for you to inherit the old Qi family, and she has to repeat it in my ear every day for the past few days. ”
“……”
