The military general who made Xia Nan kneel obviously didn't believe it, and asked: "You said that you brought 2,000 soldiers ashore, and they were all bird soldiers, deceiving children, right?" It's not bad to be able to feed 800 soldiers without eating empty salaries, and 2,000 soldiers are definitely a mouthful! ”

Xia Nan squinted at him and snorted, "Can this general report his name?" ”

The man replied proudly: "Liu Zeqing, the chief soldier of Shandong Volunteers." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Xia Nan shook his head: "I haven't heard of it." ”

Liu Zeqing was furious: "You are a little general, you dare to be so rude!" ”

Xia Nan Youyou said: "I heard that the rebels once let out a word: 'Killing Shandong soldiers is like cutting vegetables, but I can't help it!'" The soldiers of each town are not our enemy, but they are worried about the ears of the soldiers outside the gate. "General Liu, this rebel soldier's mouth is like a vegetable in the mouth, it doesn't mean you, right?" In fact, he heard Li Jiucheng say this when he was undercover, and now he is learning and using it to humiliate the general soldier Liu who made him kneel down and avenge the revenge just now.

Liu Zeqing's face was red-faced, and the local soldiers and horses in Shandong were defeated in front of the rebels, which caused today's corrupt situation, and what the other party said was the truth, and he had no way to refute it. His headquarters soldiers and horses have been repeatedly defeated in previous battles, and most of them have been damaged, for fear of becoming a marginal figure, and they have been looking for opportunities to curry favor with the governor and the supervising army, so they will reprimand Xia Nan to kneel.

The young general smiled "poof". The row of generals on the opposite side laughed when they saw him and looked at him dissatisfied, these people were obviously local military generals in Shandong.

Zhu Dadian saw that Xia Nan's words made the Shandong military generals and the Liaodong military generals have subtle antagonism, this was not the situation he wanted to see, so he opened his mouth to ask and divert everyone's attention.

"I remember that the order of the military department was to recruit the water division, not the land division, why did you bring the bird gun soldiers, what about your water division?"

Xia Nan had already prepared a draft and replied calmly: "The sailor's ship is parked on an island not far from the sea off Dengzhou, and it will be on call at any time. And Lu Shi was brought voluntarily by the last general, and in order to share the worries of the saint, he did not ask the court for silver, but only needed to supply grain and grass to Futai. Futai's northern soldiers are the majority, especially the Guanning iron cavalry, brave and good at fighting needless to say, although the last general's bird soldiers are not as good as the northern soldiers in close combat, but they can kill the enemy in a hundred steps, such as cooperating with the cavalry, combining far and near, although it can not be said that it is like a tiger with wings, it is also the icing on the cake, and it is a modest effort to pacify the army as soon as possible. ”

Liu Zeqing and other Shandong generals were very dissatisfied when they heard him praise the Guanning army and did not mention a word about the Shandong soldiers and horses. And the young generals on the opposite side and the people around them were all pale when they heard this.

Zhu Dadian was noncommittal, and he didn't know whether to believe or not Xia Nan's words.

Liu Zeqing muttered in a low voice on the side: "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or ......a thief" How can there be any military generals who have been posted to the court to fight in the war these days? Drinking the blood of soldiers and eating empty salaries, preserving strength, and killing good and risking merit is the way for military generals to survive. The Shandong generals around him nodded their heads, obviously agreeing with this statement.

At this time, Zhu Dadian's first middle-aged young robe official said loudly: "Futai clearly sees that although the rank of General Xia is not high, he can care about the court and is willing to share the worries of the saint, which is also commendable. Futai, since these southern soldiers are here, why don't you stay and obey orders and use these two thousand bird guns as surprise soldiers? ”

Zhu Dadian couldn't help but nodded, regardless of whether Xia Nan said the scene or not, but as a local army that was transferred to the water division, he was willing to take the initiative to put the land division into the battlefield, and he did not ask for the silver, and he did not care about the momentary gains and losses in front of him, which was an indisputable fact. It is much stronger than those generals who are afraid of fighting and want to preserve their strength.

"There is a reason for this. Since this is the case, Xia Bu stayed in the army and obeyed the order. Xiang San, after this is the case, you will take these two thousand birds and soldiers to be properly settled, and you will also be responsible for arranging the necessary grain and grass. ”

The blue-robed official responded: "Obey." After speaking, he glanced meaningfully at Xia Nan, and then retreated into the queue.

Xia Nan's heart moved, he had no other connections in Shandong, and someone actually came out to speak for him, and this official was dressed in a green robe, and his representative grade was only seven grades, but he dared to speak freely in front of Zhu Dadian, so this official was a lowly and powerful Shandong Inspector Imperial History - Xie Sanbin, and Xiang San may be his word.

Zhu Dadian continued: "Whether it is the transfer of the military department, or you volunteer, when you arrive in Shandong, the soldiers and horses will be under the control of the capital, remember that the military orders are prohibited, and those who violate the military law will be dealt with."

Xia Nan bowed his hand: "This is natural, the last general is willing to obey Futai's dispatch." ”

Zhu Dadian nodded with satisfaction and stroked his beard, "Very good, as long as you obey the military order and make meritorious contributions, Benfu will also ask for credit for you, and treat the northern soldiers equally." You may not know everyone here when you first came, but this official is Zhu Dadian, the new governor of Shandong, and the ...... next to him

He pointed to the eunuch next to him: "...... This is the high and high father-in-law of the prison army. ”

Then he pointed to the generals on both sides: "The rest of you are all general soldiers and guerrillas in Shandong, Beijing, Tianjin and Liaodong, you are all military generals, you can get to know them." ”

In fact, he didn't introduce himself, Xia Nan had already guessed his identity, as for this eunuch, although it was the first time they met, his name had been admired for a long time.

In Xia Nan's impression, Gao Qiqian can be regarded as one of the well-known eunuchs under Chongzhen, except for Wang Chengen, who accompanied Chongzhen to hang himself in the coal mountain, he is the most famous. However, in the historical records, his reputation is far inferior to Wang Chengen, the most impressive is that in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the Qing army entered the customs, and the imperial court sent Lu Xiangsheng as the supervisor to supervise the army to meet the enemy.

Xia Nan didn't have a good impression of this eunuch who claimed to be a soldier, but was greedy for life and afraid of death, and turned away after taking a look at him.

Because of what he said to Liu Zeqing just now, the generals on both sides have completely different attitudes towards him, and they are clearly distinguished. The generals on the left seem to be mainly Shandong locals, all of them blowing their beards and staring at him, while the generals on the right are full of expression, not to mention the people of Liaodong.

The young military general took the initiative to talk to Xia Nanpan: "I'm Ning Yuan's guerrilla attack on Wu Sangui, I am very curious about something, and I want to ask General Xia." ”

Although Xia Nan had some psychological preparation, he still didn't expect this to be the famous Wu Sangui. He looked at the other party carefully, he was in his early twenties, of medium stature, quite heroic, his eyes were like attention, his eyes were resolute, except for a shallow scar on his nose, he looked a little vicious, no matter how he looked at it, he was not the obscene traitor portrayed on TV.
