Chapter 644: Scorching Heat

readx; At one o'clock in the morning, a mighty team set off from Qinwangzhuang and marched to Longzhou, hundreds of miles west of Jingyang, that is, the garrison of Li Dingguo's Qin troops. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The core of this team is naturally Zhu Youzhen, the king of Qin, and the accompanying people are Qincha Wen Tiren, the new governor of Yansui Zhou Yanru and Yang Sichang of Jingyang Zhixian County. Because Gao Yingxiang was captured by Li Dingguo, Wen Tiren's visit was a routine investigation; Zhou Yanru went to Guyuan to take office; Yang Sichang assisted Zhu Youzhen and sent more than 5,000 displaced people from Qinwangzhuang to Li Dingguo to start his career in Tuntian.

It is said that it is a homeless people, but in fact, most of them are the thieves and their dependents who were captured by the Qin soldiers when Li Zicheng attacked Jingyang last year. They are also from peasant families, and because they can't survive, they join the thieves, which must be a capital offense according to the "Da Ming Law". But Zhu Youzhen did not kill them, but carried out a year of "labor reform" on them.

Now these people have felt from personal experience that following the thieves to rebel is a dead end sooner or later; And obey King Qin's arrangement, as long as you work hard, you can have something to eat. As long as there is food to eat and starvation does not die, who is willing to risk losing their heads to rebel? Therefore, these people have long been dead set on the ground, this time I heard that after five years of Tuntian, they can still get a piece of land, and they are even more jubilant, regardless of the scorching heat, helping the old and the young to walk slowly.

Of course, just in case, Zhu Youzhen also made careful arrangements for this big migration. The whole process was divided into three stages, the first stage was to move 5,000 people to Li Dingguo's Longzhou, and the second and third stages were to move 5,000 people to Hao Yongzhong's Qingyang and Li Laiheng's Dunzhou.

This first stage was escorted by the 1st Regiment of the Qin Army, and the specific arrangements were for 3 battalions of a cavalry battalion to open the way, one battalion of the infantry battalion to maintain order in the center, and four battalions of the other cavalry battalion to break off. Xie Sheng led the rest of the 1st Regiment to defend the city, and when the first phase was completed, he would rotate the troops for the next phase.

Under the strict protection of Yan Ling's special combat team, Zhu Youzhen rode a tall horse, and while slowly advancing with the team, he was still thinking about Hong Chengchou's intention to establish the "Hong Soldiers". Obviously, if it was a normal military operation like suppressing thieves, Hong Chengchou's move would be meaningless, because he was the governor of the three sides and was already the highest military governor in the northwest region, and all the troops had to obey his command. Even if the imperial court is financially tight and unwilling to give Gao Jie such a salary reduction, he Hong Chengchou also has a way, so why bother to pay out of his own pocket to reorganize Gao Jie's department into "Hong Bing"?

Could it be that Hong Chengchou, like himself, also wants to build an army loyal to himself? This is possible, as evidenced by the fact that he named this army "Hong Bing". Now that the world is in turmoil, all those who command the army have more or less the idea of supporting the army and self-respecting, Zu Dashou, Mao Wenlong, and Zuo Liangyu are all like this, and it is understandable that Hong Chengchou thinks so.

But thinking of Hong Chengchou's recent abnormal words and deeds, as well as his mysterious master Yun Zijian, Zhu Youzhen's heart is still clouded. Zu Dashou, Mao Wenlong and others, he is not very worried, because they are far away from him after all. But Hong Chengchou is in Xi'an, he himself is strategic, ruthless, and Gao Jiebu is very combative, in case he wants to be unfavorable to himself, it is a huge threat!

Therefore, not long after departure, Zhu Youzhen called Liu Quanzhong, the commander of the first battalion, and asked him to immediately send a letter to Xie Sheng, asking Xie Sheng to strictly defend the city, especially to always pay attention to the movements of Gao Jie's troops stationed in Xi'an City. At the same time, he sent a letter to Sun Chuanting, asking him to be careful, in addition to guarding against the eunuch Li Qin in Xi'an, he must also guard against Hong Chengchou.

But soon, Zhu Youzhen's attention shifted to the journey. It's the hottest dog season of the year, and it's hard to imagine the hard work of a long journey under the scorching sun. In order to alleviate the burden of the displaced people, Qinwangzhuang specially sent nearly 100 horse-drawn carriages to transport their luggage, as well as dry food and fresh water. But the common people always have to walk on their own, and the young and middle-aged are better, and the old and young women and children will not be able to bear it for a long time, so the march of the procession is also extremely slow.

Zhu Youzhen immediately jumped off the horse and walked with the people. As soon as he got off the horse, Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru couldn't ride on the horse to shake their majesty, so they had to dismount with him.

The common people all knew that this sixteen-year-old boy was His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and when they saw that the prince Chitose was walking with him, what else did he say, and they all shook their spirits and struggled forward. But Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru complained bitterly, they were used to being pampered on weekdays, how could they have suffered this hardship. In particular, they were still wearing brand new official uniforms and tight black gauze hats, and they were sweating profusely after a while.

Zhu Youzhen was also sweating like rain, and after walking for a while, he smiled and said: "If you wear such a thick layer again, you will suffer from heat stroke, so just take off your shirts." As he spoke, he hit his shirtless.

Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru couldn't help but be dumbfounded. As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and Buddha rely on gold, and those who are officials can maintain their majesty in front of the people, and this official uniform has to play most of the role. Once stripped naked, everyone has two arms and two legs, and there is no mystery about it.

Besides, these two people are both Mr. Taoism, although they are also ugly when they usually visit the kiln, but in front of everyone, they always have to put on a sanctimonious face. At this time, seeing that Zhu Youzhen had taken off his shirtless, although he didn't dare to say anything, he was very disapproving.

But they were immediately surprised to find that Yang Sichang was also shirtless. Zhou Yanru couldn't help frowning and said, "Wen is weak, you..."

"Brother Jade Rope wants to say, what kind of system are you?" Yang Sichang smiled slightly, "Clothes are originally used to avoid the cold and hide shame, and when the summer is hot, farmers work in the fields, as long as they don't **." Besides, if your heart is open, you don't feel anything when you see **; If you always think about the things that men and women are doing in your heart, it will be in vain to cover it tightly. ”

Zhou Yanru wanted to say something, but Wen Tiren smiled and said: "The move of His Royal Highness and Brother Wen is very good at Yangming's 'heart learning'!" Even so, the students are also presumptuous! ”

As he spoke, he also took off his shirtless. Only Zhou Yanru held his identity and refused to take it off at all. At this time, a team of Qin soldiers with bright armor walked by, and Wen Tirenqi said: "These soldiers are hotter than us, why don't they get rid of their armor?" ”

"That's different, they're soldiers." Zhu You said with a smile, "Soldiers have their own military discipline, if they can't even stand such a little heat, then what kind of war are they fighting?" What if you just took off your armor and suddenly an enemy attacked? Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime! ”

Wen Tiren savored Zhu Youzhen's words, and suddenly smiled mysteriously: "Qin Bing, it is really different from ordinary officers and soldiers!" ”
