After Yang Fan left, Ruan Qingzhu came out from behind the screen.
"My lord, just let him go." Ruan Qingzhu was a little confused.
No matter what, we have to get him to join us today, whether we do it or not, we have to do it.
Jin Yiwei has many means.
"What do you think? It's really shameful. Do you think those three hundred people are just decorations?" Xu Xianchun said.
Ruan Qingzhu thought for a while and nodded.
In the past two days, he had also noticed that those who trained in the group relied on Yang Fanrui's parents. If you use force against Yang Fan today, it means you want to kill their parents. What do you think they will do?
These arrogant soldiers can fight with Jiannu. The more than a hundred imperial guards brought this time are not enough to fill their teeth.
"This man is extremely opinionated, knowledgeable about the world, and has no awe of power in his heart. He can never be conquered by power. I have a feeling that this man seems to be a bystander, aloof, looking at this indifferently. People in the world are divided and reunited, and there seems to be a sense of ridicule in their hearts like watching a play. He looks at you just like he is watching an actor perform in Goulan. If you say that such a person has promised you on the surface, do you dare to use him? God knows what he is thinking." Xu Xianchun said.
"Is it possible that you are worried that he is the emperor's man? He is very close to Tu Shan and his daughter. Tu Shan is an old cunning man. Does the Governor suspect that Tu Shan is unreliable?" Ruan Qingzhu said.
"He is not from Tushan, nor is he from the emperor," Xu Xianchun said quietly.
Ruan Qingzhu was stunned when he was told, "Then whose person is he?"
"I hope he is from the Ming Dynasty."
Seeing that Ruan Qingzhu didn't understand, Xu Xianchun stopped talking. Obviously, he just wanted to return to Beijing as soon as possible after completing this errand. Yang Fan can't see through it like this, and it's better not to drag people in who still have soldiers in their hands.
The next day, it was an uneventful day.
Early in the morning, the regiment trainers began practicing at the military camp outside the town.
The sound of chanting echoed through the sky.
Ruan Qingzhu watched from a distance at the entrance of the town, wondering in his heart.
In the Ming Dynasty's army, the military posts in various places generally conducted exercises every ten days, and the Beijing camp conducted exercises every five days. The most powerful Qi Jiajun can only fight every three days.
This Xinghe group practice actually involves three exercises a day.
By tossing the soldiers in this way, they are not afraid of mutiny.
Ruan Qingzhu is counting.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, the bugle sounded, and the originally quiet military camp immediately became noisy.
Groups of soldiers, neatly dressed, came out to do exercises.
Fully armed and carrying marching luggage, we ran around the town for an hour (5-7 o'clock), then returned to the military camp to eat, rested for about an hour (7-9 o'clock), and then started training for another hour , mainly to assassinate the sparring partners with a fire gun with a knife, until noon (11-13 o'clock), have lunch and rest again, and start two hours of physical training in the late afternoon (13-15 o'clock) .
But Ruan Qingzhu saw that what they ate was really good.
In the morning, there was braised pork sandwiched between big steamed buns. A big steamed bun weighed half a catty. The snow-white steamed buns and bright red braised pork made Ruan Qingzhu salivate. Even though it was a big pot of rice, it looked particularly delicious. There is also enough egg soup to drink.
Lunch is white rice, and the side dishes are stewed tofu and stir-fried cabbage.
Dinner was noodles. The noodles were dry noodles wrapped in cartons and paper tubes. I had never seen them before. Once you put it in the water, it will become much larger, which is really convenient. The topping is meat sauce. It also ensures that there is enough food, and there is no limit to how many times you can refill the meal.
Ruan Qingzhu finally understood why the Lord did not dare to touch Yang Fan. In the entire Ming Dynasty, the servant of that general could have such treatment. I heard that the military pay for these regiment training is two taels of silver per month for ordinary soldiers, double the amount when setting off, and triple the amount when starting a battle. There is also a reward for beheading.
Ruan Qingzhu sighed, this Yang Fan is really rich, and he is really willing to spend it on these big soldiers. His soldiers can't be taken away no matter what.
Originally he didn't give up and was thinking about whether Yang Fan could do his subordinate's work if he couldn't pull him away.
After all, Eunuch Wei also needs this strong army. Now it seems that Eunuch Wei cannot afford to support them.
Ruan Qingzhu turned around and left in disappointment.
At noon the next day, before the inventory of the confiscated property had been completed, the Jinyiwei spies responsible for monitoring Xinghe Tuanlian received news that a large number of Tuanlian had landed at the dock. are entering the military camp one after another.
More than 3,000 new people arrived, with 400 war horses and 1,000 pack horses.
Xu Xianchun turned pale with shock, and an ominous premonition came to his mind. But now he is even more afraid to take action. There are nearly 3,500 new members of the group training and civilian husbands plus the original ones.
"Quickly, arrange for Ti to ride a fast horse back to Beijing to report, so that Eunuch Wei can prepare early." Xu Xianchun shouted angrily.
"Here!" A uniformed guard general took the order and left.
The three cavalrymen then rushed out of the town and ran all the way to the capital.
After running ten miles away, the general flag breathed a sigh of relief without attracting the attention of the group trainer.
"Let the horse rest and be alert."
"Who is it?" shouted a Jin Yiwei.
More than thirty people, covered with leaves and weeds, climbed up from the woods on both sides of the road. No one answered him.
What answered him was that waves of crossbows came flying over like locusts. The three Jinyi guards fell off their horses without even resisting.
Huang San came over and took a look at Zongqi's breathing, which was completely dead. Then I found the military newspaper and started reading it. He has been studying hard at night school recently and has mastered 800 commonly used words. Although he is not very good at writing, he has no big problem with reading.
"Sure enough, the master guessed it. These eunuchs sent people back to deliver the message. Hum, Wei eunuch ordered us not to enter the city gate. Damn it, it was a good idea."
Team leader Han Kuang came over and said: "How dare these geldings prevent me from entering the city? I gave the order and blew the city gate open. Huh, you rebelled against them."
All of Yang Fan's subordinates were led very arrogantly by Yang Fan, and they were even more dismissive of the officials of the imperial court.
At this moment, all the newcomers had arrived in the military camp.
At present, there are a total of 75 servants and 300 veterans. These people all ride horses, and the horses follow the reinforcements. The newly formed regiment that came for reinforcements trained 60 squads, all infantry, totaling 1,800 people. The civilians were organized into two camps, with a total of one thousand people.
Yang Fan was making arrangements to escort him back to Beijing at this time. Mo Zui came in and reported, "Master, Master Xu Xianchun is here and is at the gate of the military camp. Do you want to let him in?"
"Xu Xianchun, he arrived very quickly. Let's go and greet him." Yang Fan put down the work at hand. He took the officers to the gate of the military camp to greet him.
Xu Xianchun looked at the heavily guarded military camp gate. A small group of soldiers standing on both sides of the door pinched their teeth.
Each of these soldiers had obviously killed people and seen blood, and they were full of evil spirits. I have been waiting for the announcement here for almost a quarter of an hour. These soldiers carrying muskets stood as straight as javelins, and they didn't move, not even blinking.
"Oops! Master Xu, why are you here in person? Just send someone to summon the official. The official will be on call." Yang Fan's voice came from inside the gate.
Xu Xianchun smiled bitterly.
No more today, more updates tomorrow.
