The veterans of Northern Xinjiang, who are the backbone of the Ding Navy, are all fierce and full of ferocity. They can be called arrogant and powerful generals. Especially in the days after the war, the soldiers' enthusiasm was still there, and it was normal for them to talk nonsense and make speculations about military affairs when discussing with each other.
Zhang Qian's elder brother Zhang Jiao was an old friend of Wang Shixian and had a close acquaintance with Guo Ning. In the battle to defend the fortress, Zhang Qian himself led his troops to repeatedly repel the fierce attacks of the Mongolian army. He continued to fight until all his subordinates were dead and wounded, and finally fainted in a pile of corpses due to excessive bleeding.
After the battle was won, the soldiers cleaned up the battlefield and found that he was still alive and not completely dead.
Such deeds are relatively heroic even among his comrades with similar military exploits. Guo Jiedu even praised him specifically, so everyone knew that Zhang Qian had a good future, and he had very few scruples about what he said.
But Wang Shixian got angry, and Zhang Qian was immediately frightened.
Wang Shixian was a bit soft-tempered. When the Xiangjunhe camp was transferred, he couldn't handle so many soldiers and civilians, and he needed the young lady of the Lu family to come forward to support him. This matter has always been a laughing stock among the soldiers.
But after the battle in Haicang Town, Wang Shixian used more than 600 soldiers to gather ordinary people to withstand the fierce attack of several thousand households by the Mongolian army; at the expense of hundreds of casualties of his own soldiers and civilians, many lives of the Mongolian army were exchanged ...This is really awesome!
The soldiers admired his tenacity in command and were afraid of his cruelty, which had no human life in his eyes. Who dared to take advantage of Wang Shixian? Only a few middle-level officers felt sorry for the soldiers and dared to take advantage of the review of the battle to shout a few words. Aren't they also being put aside by Lao Wang now?
Zhang Qian laughed twice: "Commander, I have no excuse, my back is really hurting today! I have no appetite today! I am also in low spirits! I am going to sleep now!"
When he was about to explain a few more words, Wang Shixian turned around and left with a straight face.
The entire camp fell silent for an instant, and several soldiers quietly moved away from Zhang Qian.
"Ahem...what are you talking about! We are all discussing together. Am I the only one who is wrong?"
Zhang Qian complained endlessly.
Not long after, two soldiers came loudly: "Who is Zhang Qian?"
According to the rules of the Ding Navy, unless it is in wartime, the punishment of soldiers, ranging from military sticks to confinement and above, is in the hands of military judges. The person who also serves as the military judge is Guo Ning's personal guard leader Zhao Jue, and the people responsible for law enforcement are also specially selected personnel.
However, even Zhao Jue would not refute Wang Shixian's face. As the most senior general in charge, Wang Shixian had no trouble dealing with a small and powerful person.
"It's me." Zhang Qian sighed: "I'm going to follow you two. Please show some mercy and don't tie me up!"
The navy enforces the law very strictly, and Guo Ning seems to be laughing and joking with the soldiers. If anyone really violates military law, he will never hesitate to behead him in public. Since the law enforcement officers came forward, there is nothing to argue about.
Fortunately, the military law regulations are very clear and clear. They are also preached to the soldiers every now and then, and there is no case of execution without teaching. Zhang Qian estimated that Wang Shixian would not be angry because of his absence from the review. Most likely, he had really spoken out about a major policy of the military government, and it was natural for him to be confined for a few days.
Three days of confinement passed in a blink of an eye.
In the small confinement room, Zhang Qian did some boxing in the dark, stretched his legs, and nodded with satisfaction.
Although the several wounds on his body were still painful, they did not affect his movement much. It was lucky that he did not suffer any serious injuries despite fighting in such a fierce battlefield for several days. Only the big scar on his face was more tragic... It was the scar he made himself in order to encourage the soldiers after his brother died in the battle.
As for excessive blood loss, it is nothing to a martial artist. Since the food was good, there was meat for every meal, and after a few days of good sleep, Zhang Qian's physical strength recovered very quickly, and he was still the energetic good man he was before.
There were footsteps outside the confinement room.
Looking at the light coming through the skylight, it's not yet past noon. Did some general show mercy and let him go early?
Zhang Qian's appearance is very handsome. Although he has scars, he does not look ugly. Instead, he has a unique tough temperament. He usually valued his appearance, and even if he was in confinement, he would not look embarrassed to others; so he quickly arranged his robe, cheered up, and lifted up the hem of his robe to wipe his face.
The two soldiers who were still in charge of military law came over and opened the door and took Zhang Qian out.
"The confinement is over. General Zhang Shi, please come with us."
Zhang Qian hurriedly followed and found that they did not return to the camp where the soldiers rested in the military fort, but walked outside.
Zhang Qian frowned and asked tentatively: "Brothers, where are we going?"
The two soldiers ignored him.
After all, Zhang Qian had just suffered a loss and suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
After walking a few steps further, several familiar soldiers from the camp were laughing and waiting, stuffing a packed package into Zhang Qian's arms. Zhang Qian knew as soon as he touched it that the package contained his personal belongings and his usual short knife.
What is this for? Have I been fired? Shouldn't it? Wang Shixian, you old guy, why are you doing this?
Zhang Qian wanted to curse in an instant, but when he saw the soldiers walking beside him with winks, they all said: "Old Zhang has been promoted now. Remember to treat him to a drink when he comes back! Hahaha!"
High promotion? Invite you to drink?
Where did the promotion come from? Why are you inviting me to drink?
Zhang Qian wanted to ask clearly. He walked a little slower. The soldiers in front were walking far away with sonorous steps. He quickly held the package and trotted to follow.
Running to the empty space in front of the military fort gate, Zhang Qian suddenly stopped.
I saw a formation of soldiers and horses in the empty field.
Flags fluttered in the wind, and spears and spears were held high like a forest. The top blades shone coldly in the early winter sun. Below the flags and spears, there were rows of soldiers.
Zhang Qian could tell at a glance that many of those soldiers were original residents of Laizhou. Although a few of them had made meritorious service by killing enemies under Guo Zhongyuan and received special awards. However, most people have very low training levels, and their standing postures and methods of holding spears are different.
They must have just trained. Many people have sweat on their foreheads and their breathing is a little heavy. But at this moment, the whole team stood still, motionless. Occasionally, a few soldiers squirmed uneasily, but were immediately stopped by the officers' stern eyes.
The solemn-looking officers stood in front of each group of soldiers, staring at the subordinate soldiers. Many of those generals, captains, lieutenants, etc. were acquaintances of Zhang Qian.
Zhang Qian followed two soldiers and stood beside the queue. Not far away from him, some people were watching. It was obvious that the soldiers had done nothing, but they applauded and cheered from time to time. Zhang Qian was a little embarrassed and tried to raise his hand to greet old acquaintances, but no one paid him any attention.
At this moment, several people came out of the queue safely.
The leader is Guo Ning.
"Both the swordsmanship and spear skills are unfamiliar, and they cannot be mastered in three to five days. The array is even more ugly. It took several times of supervision to get it like this, but as soon as I moved around, it fell apart. But..."
Guo Ning turned around and looked at the soldiers: "The new soldiers are all in good physical condition; they have also killed people, have courage, and are bloody. With these two items, the others can be practiced slowly. You train with all your heart, and during the march Don’t relax, Chuuya.”
Accompanying Guo Ning is Xiao Mo Le, a Khitan man with a strong body and bandaged legs.
Xiao MoLe nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief!"
Guo Ning saw Zhang Qian, laughed, and waved: "Come!"
Zhang Qian threw the package away and hurried forward to salute.
Guo Ning took Zhang Qian's arm and asked him to stand in front of Xiao Mo Le: "If you include him, you have the three generals you lack."
"One is Zhang Hui, the leader of the scouts, who is known as Zhang Fei, and the other is Guo Alin, Guo Zhongyuan's right-hand subordinate. You have seen both of those two. The third one is this person, Wang Shixian's subordinate Zhang Qian."
Guo Ning patted Zhang Qian on the shoulder and said to Xiao Molele: "When Zhang Qian was defending Haicang Town, he stabbed his face with a knife to show his will. He inspired the soldiers to fight to the end and stood firm at the city gate without retreating. He also killed the Mongols himself. There were several soldiers in the army. Lao Wang said that it was the most tenacious and courageous feat he had ever seen in his life, and it was the mainstay of the entire army."
He turned to Zhang Qian: "Lao Wang has recommended to me several times that you have the talent to lead an army. You are not just a general, but you can serve as a lieutenant or a general. That's good. Now that the new army is formed, you can Come and be a general. Your brother, Zhang Jiao, is an old friend of mine. He has a soul in heaven, and he must be happy to see this... You have to work hard and don't let your brother be embarrassed."
Having said this, Guo Ning chuckled twice and leaned close to Zhang Qian's ear: "Don't talk nonsense from now on, and don't be frivolous. Do you understand?"
In the queue of generals behind them, a rustling sound could not be suppressed, which was the envy of many people. Expanding the army will indeed bring opportunities for promotion. Many people know that those with great achievements such as Zhang Qian will definitely be put to great use. But from a junior general to a general, he jumped three levels in a row. What a treat!
Zhang Qian couldn't help but the corners of his eyes were wet. He knelt down on the ground, pressed his hands on the withered yellow weeds, and touched his forehead to the ground: "Zhang Qian understands! Zhang Qian, I am willing to die for the commander-in-chief!"
