When the time returned to dawn, Zhao Ximin had already climbed into his command car - this kind of double ** carriage is naturally not comparable to the command car of the Chinese, it is nothing more than a large carriage pulled by mules and horses, and the space inside is relatively large, not only a table, but also a bed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info [full text reading] But this is not a luxury, Zhang Juzheng's return trip during the Wanli period, from Beijing to Jiangling, more than a thousand miles of road in the itinerary of "five steps and a well to clear the road dust, ten steps and a furnace to prepare the tea stove", the fundamental reason is that the sedan chair he took can be called the world's most, this sedan chair needs thirty-two people to carry, but also divided into a bedroom and a living room, the inside and outside of the coat room, there is even a kitchen and toilet, and there are two servants in the service inside. In order to allow such a sedan chair to move unimpeded, the road surface was widened along the way, the bridge deck was reinforced, and the workers moved the crowd to disturb the officials and the people. Compared with a powerful minister like Zhang Juzheng, this command car is really not particularly luxurious.

Last night he had made two preparations, if the Medenor people came out, he would kill them, and if he didn't, he would swagger and hurry. Fortunately, the Maidno people did not come out, otherwise a vicious battle would be inevitable. At dawn he was so tired that he rode on his horse all night, and even the most docile horses could not stand it. So as soon as it was dawn, he handed over the rest to his lieutenants, got into the car and went to sleep.

Even if they had lit torches last night and hurried away, less than half of the 100,000 people had left Jiezhen at this time. As dawn came, the soldiers in the various barracks who were waiting to set off were complaining one by one, where the people were sleepy and lacking, where they still had the strength to march, the soldiers dragged their weapons slowly on the road, and the auxiliaries pushed carts and drove the military horses to try to catch up with the people in front. There were pockets full of food on the cart, and some soldiers next to them secretly stuffed their armor and weapons into the cart in order to be lazy and lighten the load on themselves. The sharp-eyed auxiliaries saw it, and hurriedly pushed and argued with these soldiers, and the already complaining marching procession became more and more noisy, and the marching speed became slower and slower.

"What happened?" A young man on horseback came quickly from a distance, wearing a suit of bright silver armor that looked blind at first glance, and a long red feather stuck in his silver-white helmet.

The small leader of the auxiliary forces hurriedly reported, "Tell the adjutant general, these people secretly stuffed our armor and weapons into our car, our vehicle was already very heavy, and at this time, with their things, it was even more impossible to push." ”

"My lord, we don't have a vehicle to transport such heavy loads, and now they have a car, so they can't help us transport it." The soldier who spoke was arrogant, "Do you think it's enough to be a soldier and eat food? We still have to work, our soldiers have received food and salaries, but we have to go to the front line to fight the enemy, you are the ones who carry things! ”

The young general looked left and right, and directly waved the whip and slapped the little leader of the auxiliary soldiers fiercely, "Let you move some things to your mother-in-law, where there is the appearance of the South Bank Army, I will move it, the physical strength of the soldiers must be kept to fight, you are here to move things!" ”

"Who said that?" The little leader couldn't help but get angry, and directly rushed up and pushed away a few soldiers who were about to throw their armor into the car, "Although Lao Tzu is an auxiliary, he delivers food and grass to the army, who said that he still has to carry armor and weapons?" In the name of putting things, these eight kings secretly stole food from our car, what crime should we be guilty of stealing food? ”

"Is that the case?" The young general's whip was pointed at those soldiers, and the soldiers were not sure what would happen for a while, so they did not speak for a while. I saw that the young general waved his whip and whipped it down, and it was the little leader of the auxiliary soldiers who was whipped, "Let you talk nonsense, even if the soldiers steal food, it is also unevenly distributed by you and others, they can't eat enough, what do they use to fight?" ”

"They went to war?" The little leader of the auxiliary forces couldn't help it, and shouted at the group of people, "What kind of battle did they fight?" When we were fighting, we rushed up, and we almost fought them out before we went up, and they often broke down at the touch of a button, which is also called a soldier? We eat worse than them, we do more than them, and now we need to transport more things, is there any reason for heaven? ”

Before the words fell, I saw that the young general's face was red with anger, and he directly pulled out the sword on his waist, and he was about to slash down. At this time, a person suddenly flashed out from the side and stopped in front, "Lord Adjutant General, stop your anger!" This old brother is tired and confused, and the adjutant general should not be like him. The adjutant general didn't want to kill anyone, but when he saw someone blocking in front, he also put his sword back into the sheath, "The adjutant general is wise and martial, sympathetic to the soldiers, and is a model for my generation, and I also ask the adjutant general to rest and rest...... I'll do it later. ”

As he spoke, he waved to the side, and some soldiers, who were obviously wearing the uniforms of other troops, came over and began to help the cart up. The adjutant general was stunned, "Who are you?" The person who spoke took out a waist card from his waist, "Below is a small hundred households among the auxiliary soldiers of the forbidden army, this time your army labor expedition, we should also serve the country, and the small one will bring his auxiliary soldiers to help you." ”

"Good, good!" The lieutenant general had a smile on his face, "Then you can help in this auxiliary barracks." "The lieutenant general!" The person who spoke hurriedly asked, "Then ......what is the supply of food and grass for this trip?"

"It's okay, your people have come to help, of course you have to eat and drink," he said, gesturing to the beaten little leader, "He's now your responsibility." The little leader was about to speak, but the newcomer quietly pulled him and glanced at him, but the newcomer looked at him directly, and did not speak. The young general saw that the little leader had no opinion, turned his horse's head and left.

The soldiers next to him saw that the lieutenant general was supporting him, and they all walked over proudly, put their weapons on the cart, and gradually piled them up, and made faces at the little leader defiantly. The little boss was almost angry, but he couldn't help it. He was about to complain about this newcomer, but he felt a sudden sinking in his hand, it turned out that the person stuffed something in the palm of his hand, it felt hot, or a round cake, and his heart couldn't help but be happy, could it be a silver cake? Quietly looked down, and sure enough, it was a piece of silver cake from the Medeno people.

"In the next week, Rui, the hundred households who just donated an auxiliary soldier specially followed the group of donkeys to the boundary town, wanting to follow the army out to fight and make a contribution." Zhou Rui said and looked at the person in front of him eagerly.

He was originally on the side of the road, and no one paid attention to him, and he couldn't find an excuse to sneak in, but as soon as he saw that there was a conflict here, he knew that there was an opportunity, and hurriedly rushed over. This kind of "backbone" little boss is an excellent entry point for intelligence, not to mention that he has been bullied by the soldiers for so long, as long as you mingle with him for a short time, and make sure that he knows something, you can find out - this is what the secret agent writes in the book.

"How do you know we're going to war?" Although this little leader was still angry, he was still a little vigilant, and hurriedly asked, Zhou Rui smiled, "Look, almost all of this army has come out, carrying so many weapons and grain and grass, and the soldiers are still wearing armor, obviously going to war." ”

"Hmph, if you're smart, we're going to attack the port of Zhancheng." "Champa Port? Isn't that our own place? ”

"Are you stupid?" The little leader slapped Zhou Rui on the back, "You don't know that the emperor changed this some time ago?" ”

"I know," Zhou Rui pretended to be surprised, "I just took this opportunity to donate a hundred households." In fact, he didn't even know when Dawn got this waist card, and if it weren't for the quick improvisation, he might have made the Maidno people see through it.

"Oh, then you must not know the emperor's secret edict," the little leader looked proud, "Ruan Phuc Yuan fled to Champa Port after being driven out, and now he has made a comeback in Champa Port, so our emperor will let us go out to defeat Champa Port and put down the chaos for the country." As he spoke, the smug color on his face became stronger and stronger, and he was about to be able to release light.

"Wow! This big brother knows so much, I thought he was going to fight bandits somewhere. There are more than 10,000 people in this vast area, right? Zhou Rui deliberately looked ahead, the auxiliaries around him had already begun to help the "comrades" of the auxiliary battalion push the cart, and it was always best to have someone to help whenever they could, so the auxiliaries on both sides chatted together and quickly became one.

"More than 10,000 people?" The little leader laughed, "Don't be afraid to say too much, there are 100,000 people, the entire South Coast Army is here, and there are only three or four hundred guards left in all the camps, and the grain, grass, soldiers and horses are all shipped out now. As he spoke, he pointed to a few places nearby, "Look at it, here and here, all of them are grain and grass, more than 3,000 stones, and the grain and grass convoy has not finished since last night." ”

Zhou Rui looked at those places carefully in shock, only to see the endless convoy driving mightily on the official road, mules and horses neighing, mixed with the sound of cattle, and the soldiers shouting one after another in front of them. "Now we are two generals, Zhao Ximin and Ruan Wei, who are going on the expedition together, and the 100,000 troops are ......."

Zhou Rui hurriedly asked, "Then our whole army is attacking, isn't the boundary town an empty city?" ”

"Of course," the little leader said with a smile, "I heard the adjutant general say that this is called an empty city plan, leave some people in the camp and pretend that the main force is still there, and our main force will attack the port of Zhancheng, and wait until it is taken, and then rush back to ensure that it will be fine." As he spoke, he glanced hatefully at the outline of the port of Champa in the distance, "Besides, aren't there still those Medeno sons in the Boundary Town?" Something can't happen. ”

"General Russell, they're still on the march." Seeing Russell walking up to the city wall with several squadron leaders, the officer in charge of duty hurriedly put down his binoculars and ran over to greet him. Russell waved his hand at one of the squadron leaders who followed, "You go and take over the observation," and then pointed to the officer on duty, "You come over and ask you." ”

"Yes!" The officer on duty hurriedly walked over, and Russell looked at the troops that were still marching outside, "How long have they been walking?" ”

"It's been more than nine hours since I was a child." The officer on duty immediately said, "The officer on duty in front of me has already observed two shifts and has not stopped. ”

"How long is such a line?" Russell couldn't help but be a little curious, he could see that there were still troops in several nearby military camps preparing to leave, but because he had not received the order to set off for a long time, the queue had already slackened due to fatigue.

The officer on duty next to him said, "It should be more than ten kilometers!" There are still many that have not been observed at night, and can only be estimated. Russell nodded, "Ten kilometers, about 30,000 people." ”

"But the queue we saw from dawn was a large number of trucks, which seemed to be carrying a lot of grain and grass." The officer on duty hurriedly reported, "The amount of these grains and grass is quite large, it should be more than 1,500 stones." ”

"Well," Russell nodded, "there are so many people, carrying a little more grain and grass is nothing." He yawned, he hadn't slept well last night, he always felt like something was going on. But now he was thinking about the two Annan women who had served him to bed last night. In other words, the appearance of these two Annan prostitutes should not be able to get into their eyes, why did they still feel unfinished after more than ten rounds of fighting last night? These skinny Annam women felt as full of energy as little girls - the thought of this place in him began to congest again, and some places in front of him began to rub against the trousers a little painfully. Thinking of this, he turned around and said to the adjutant next to him and the squadron leaders waiting for orders, "Since there is nothing to do, then let's go back first," and then looked at the officer on duty, "You continue to count their numbers, and I will go back to sleep." ”

Russell is very satisfied with the mansion that Zhao Ximin has operated for many years, not only has a large living room and study, but also a special military room, and more than 200 horses can be stocked in the garden. Such a large space is an incredible ultra-luxury mansion for the people of Medno, who have been on a ship since birth, and who have to leave home to travel as an adult. They have a small cabin in a city on the sea, and it is often a few feet square, and they can't put anything down, even if the children learn to walk, there will be no place to wrestle. Compared with the floor that is always shaking in the sea city, this kind of ground that will never shake is much more attractive now, and he still remembers the moment he and these soldiers just landed on the land of Annam, all of them fell to the ground on their stomachs, because they had adapted to the shaking of the ship's planks, on the contrary, they felt that the ground was shaking, and it took three or four days to get used to it, and even the horses were no exception.

"This is a great place," Russell said to himself, looking at the thousands of acres of fertile fields outside the city, "We Medeno people have finally got a piece of land." The officers beside him were also smiling and talking about this topic.
