Chapter 196 0193 [Learn from others]

The clear blue sky is cloudless, as clear as jasper.

The weather is good today, the sun is not dry and the breeze is just right.

Han Zhen was riding on a war horse, and behind him was a long motorcade, as dark as a long dragon, slowly moving along the official road.

Upon closer inspection, there were more than [-] ox-carts and horse-drawn carriages.

These oxcarts and carriages are loaded with gold, silver and jewelry. As for copper coins...

There were too many copper coins left, so they had to stay in the military camp temporarily.

50 guan were reserved for the county government treasury, 50 guan for the military camp, 20 guan for Xiaowang Village, and [-] guan for Songshan Village. In addition, a clay pot factory was built at the foot of Songshanling Mountain to manufacture firearms. .

But even if a lot of money was thrown out, there were still more than 600 million copper coins.

Such a large amount of copper coins would have to be transported back and forth two or three times by thousands of ox carts.

The only way is to take the water route, load it on a cargo ship, go straight down the river, wait until you reach the ferry, and then use an ox cart to pull it back to the county town.

Han Zhen naturally handed over this errand to Wei Da.

After returning to the county town, he can arrange for someone to receive the copper coins.

This time when he returned to the county town, Han Zhen also brought a thousand Qingzhou troops to escort him.

Although they are all new recruits who have just been recruited for a month, their combat power is not comparable to that of ordinary imperial troops. They can completely crush the rebel bandits with zero casualties.

Based on the experience of being a soldier in his previous life, new recruits can fully adapt to military life in two to three months after joining the army, and at the same time, their physical fitness will also increase significantly in all aspects.

This is why there is a three-month boot camp after joining the army.

In ancient times, this time would be shortened to one month.

Of course, the premise is to have a full diet and ensure adequate intake of meat and animal and vegetable fats. Otherwise, eating only carbohydrates will not be able to support such a strong training volume.

If the treatment was like that of the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty, where they were only fed [-]% of their food every day and only had wheat rice and porridge, then they would have to train for at least half a year before they could achieve combat effectiveness.

In the middle of the long convoy, inside a carriage, there was a fragrant breeze and the sounds of warblers and swallows.

Three pretty young ladies of different ages and temperaments are sitting in the carriage, which is quite a sight.

Han Zhang was embroidering female red, but as the carriage kept bumping, every stitch seemed extremely difficult.

"Well!"

After her finger was pricked by a needle again, Han Zhang had no choice but to stop and put her finger in her mouth.

Seeing this, An Niang took away the half-embroidered handkerchief and advised her: "Okay, don't embroider anymore. I heard Erlang said that he won't arrive at the county town until tomorrow evening. If he continues to embroider, he will probably wait until he gets to the county. The city and even the fingers are gone."

"Why does it take so long?"

Mrs. Han Zhang had a look of coquettishness on her face and her tone was surprised.

Hearing this, Ma Shuyao, who was lying on the window sill looking at the scenery, withdrew her gaze and explained: "Sister-in-law, there is too much gold and silver transported this time, and the cattle and horses have to rest, so naturally they can't go fast."

Even an old ox known for its endurance cannot carry one or two thousand kilograms of gold and silver for a day straight.

Basically, after walking for an hour or two, you need to stop to rest and eat some grass and green fodder to replenish your strength.

An Niang said with great interest: "Yuyou, let's talk about the affairs of the county and city to relieve our boredom."

Ma Shuyao's temperament is really annoying. They just met yesterday, and An Niang fell in love with this innocent little girl.

Speaking of this, Ma Shuyao suddenly became interested and chirped: "Among the county towns, Wa Shizi in the East City is undoubtedly the liveliest, with storytelling and singing, shadow plays, puppets, and, oh, yes, there are also As for Jiao Ding, I like Sun Erniang the most. Not only is she strong in skills, but the embroidery on her body is also extremely beautiful."

When it comes to the most popular sports in the Song Dynasty, Cuju ranks first, followed by Jiaodui.

Jiaodui was called sumo wrestling in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

At first, this sport was only popular among nobles. In the Song Dynasty, due to the development of commerce, there were Washizi in various cities.

As a result, Jiaodui gradually entered the common people and was deeply loved by the people.

Originally, there were only men's butts. Later, some people in the city, in order to create a gimmick and attract people's attention, even created women's butts.

Two women with delicate faces, cool clothes, dripping with sweat, entangled together, just thinking about it makes people's hearts surge.

Mrs. Han Zhang exclaimed softly and said in disbelief: "A woman's horns are touching, this... how unbecoming is this!"

Ma Shuyao pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, I don't know, but women's horns are very popular nowadays. It is said that in Wa Shizi in Tokyo, women's horns don't even wear small clothes."

"This……"

The woman did not wear any clothes and was raped in public. This caused a great shock to Han Zhang, a conservative country peasant woman.

An Niang chuckled and said: "I didn't expect the county to be so prosperous. When I get there, I want to see it."

As he spoke, the carriage slowly slowed down and finally stopped.

The next moment, the driver's voice came from outside the carriage: "Three ladies, the county magistrate ordered us to stop and rest for half an hour."

"got it."

Hearing that they had stopped to rest, Ma Shuyao's eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "Sister-in-law, Sister An, my waist is a little sore from sitting down, please go down and take a walk."

Hearing this, An Niang covered her mouth and snickered: "Could it be that you miss your husband?"

"As long as Sister An knows, don't say it out loud."

When her thoughts were exposed, Ma Shuyao was not ashamed, but instead joked with a smile.

Watching her leave, An Niang turned her head and said to Han Zhang, "You, learn more from others."

"I...I am his sister-in-law after all."

Mrs. Han Zhang lowered her head slightly, a look of loss flashed in her eyes.

An Niang stretched out her finger and gently touched her smooth jade forehead. She said, "What's wrong with sister-in-law? Now that Master Zhizhou has to bow down and salute Erlang, who dares to talk nonsense?" Root? Those emperors and I have done a lot of dirty things, and I haven’t seen anyone make irresponsible remarks. I finally understand that in this world, whoever has the big fist will have the right. "

Seeing her silence, An Niang couldn't help but shook her head, got up and walked out of the carriage.

Not to mention, such a long journey is really hard on people’s backs and buttocks.

As she carefully savored An Niang's words in her heart, Mrs. Han Zhang couldn't help but feel a little moved, but her soft temperament was not as daring to love and hate as Ma Shuyao.

After sitting for a while, Han Zhang lifted the curtain and got out of the car.

When they got off the carriage, they saw not far away, Ma Shuyao, with a smile as bright as a flower, beside Han Zhen, and the joy in her eyes was almost overflowing.

Sensing Han Zhang's gaze, Han Zhen smiled at her and then walked over.

"Sister-in-law, how do you feel?"

Coming closer, Han Zhen expressed concern.

This is the first time that Han Zhang has traveled far away.

The farthest place she has been to in the past is Linzi County, a few miles away.

"Slave is okay."

Han Zhangshi replied softly.

Seeing a piece of dust on Han Zhen's cheek, she bit her lip, took out the fragrant handkerchief from her sleeve, and stood on tiptoes to wipe the dust away.

Bang bang bang!
At this moment, Mrs. Han Zhang felt that all the blood in her body was rushing to her head, and she could clearly hear the violent beating of her heart.

This intimate move not only stunned Han Zhen, but also Ma Shuyao who was standing beside him was slightly stunned.

It seems that the sister-in-law should not be so intimate with her brother-in-law.

She is just young and not a fool, so she can't see any clues yet.

A strange color flashed in the little girl's eyes, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, like a cunning little fox.

I seem to have discovered something really interesting!
Standing back up, Mrs. Han Zhang held the fragrant handkerchief tightly with her little hands and pretended to be calm: "Erlang's face... his face is a little dirty." Han Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Thank you, sister-in-law!"

He didn't know why Han Zhang changed suddenly, and was a little surprised for a while.

You know, before, not to mention in public, even in front of the servants at home, I would not show such intimacy.

However, for Han Zhen, this change is a good thing.

After all, this kind of thing can be hidden for a while, but not forever.

Just then, An Niang came back dragging Xiaodouzi.

As he walked, he also taught him a lesson: "Don't run around anymore, do you understand?"

"Mom, I understand."

Xiaodouzi nodded wilfully, and when he saw Han Zhen, he immediately became energetic again.

After breaking away from An Niang's hand, he trotted to Han Zhen, raised his head and said, "Second uncle, when will you teach me to ride a horse?"

"You still want to ride a horse, I won't break your legs!"

When An Niang heard that her son was about to ride a horse, An Niang suddenly became angry. She picked up a branch on the side of the road and pretended to hit him.

Children at this age are very naughty when they hate people and dogs.

Being beaten up by parents is a common occurrence.

Han Zhen didn't stop him and allowed An Niang to slap Xiaodouzi on the buttocks a few times.

A childhood without being beaten by parents is incomplete.

"You're just a three-inch little kid. Are you as tall as a horse? Do you still want to ride a horse? What if you fall and knock yourself?"

After slapping him several times in a row, An Niang grabbed his ears and scolded him: "Are you going to ride anymore?"

Xiaodouzi said with a sad face: "Mom, I was wrong, I won't ride anymore!"

Ma Shuyao looked on in amusement, covering her mouth and snickering.

"Humph!"

Only then did An Niang let go of her hand.

After An Niang's education was completed, Han Zhen reached out and rubbed his little head, and then said: "Your mother is right, you are still young, and your body bones can't help but bump. Eat more food in the future, and when you grow up It’s a while, my second uncle will take you riding again!”

"I listen to my second uncle!"

Xiaodouzi nodded hurriedly, feeling in his heart that his second uncle was really good, better than his father.

A few people sat around and ate some pastries.

After resting for a while, Han Zhen ordered the team to set off again.

……

……

The afterglow of the evening fell, coating the county with a hazy golden color.

In the county government lobby, Nie Dong, Liu Qi, Shi Wenhui and others were sitting there, discussing matters.

Originally, Huang Kai, the Marquis of Yu, the capital of the Wuwei Army, was not eligible to participate in this meeting.

However, because of his bravery in today's battle and the killing of Zhang Wanxian with his own hands, Liu Qi appreciated him and brought him in as an exception.

Xiao Wu asked: "Nie Dutong, what is the charter of Changle?"

"The Commander-in-Chief has sent spies, and we will get the news tomorrow."

Nie Dong paused and continued: "If everything goes as usual in Changle, we will act according to our plan and send Shi to join the army to falsely spread the news. We will ambush you halfway!"

"inappropriate!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Qi.

Hearing this, Nie Dong was not upset and turned around and asked, "What's Camp Commander Liu's plan?"

Liu Qi said seriously: "In today's battle, there are at least a thousand people who dare to flee in all directions. No one can guarantee whether these people will flee to Changle. If they do, Changle will get the news. Wouldn’t it cost Shi Canjun’s life?”

Nie Dong frowned and said, "You want to attack by force?"

Siege and field battle are different!

To attack a city, it really requires human lives.

There are [-] dare-chi troops in Changle City. Taking advantage of the height of the city and the thickness of the pool, even if they can capture it, they will injure the enemy by [-] and lose [-] to themselves.

"Of course not."

Liu Qi shook his head and continued: "Soldiers need to be quick. What I mean is to compete with those deserters for time. One person and four horses will set off immediately. At the same time, a scout battalion will be dispatched to ambush outside Changle City in advance. Once they encounter deserters from the Dao Chi Army, they will be dispatched in advance. Intercept and kill! No matter how fast those deserters run, can they still run as fast as war horses?"

Xiao Wu said: "There is also the Beihai Navy over there in Ke Changle. What if they have already fought against the Ganchi Army?"

"Northern Navy?"

Liu Qi sneered and nuzzled towards Huang Kainu.

Seeing this, Huang Kai hurriedly said: "Please be at ease, Mr. Nie. The Beihai Navy is even more corrupt than the Wuwei Army. There are even less than 8000 soldiers in the army. And when Dare Chi's army attacked Changle before, the Beihai Navy had already suffered. We were defeated once, so we decided not to take the initiative to attack."

"Based on my low-level understanding of the commander of the Northern Navy's Mabu capital, they can only pretend to be a formality, and then find an excuse to go back home. There is no doubt that they will put the blame on our armed guards."

In fact, Yu Chaohuan had planned this way at first, just going through the motions to deal with Zhizhou.

As for the Dare Chi Army, the Western Army will take care of it when the time comes, so why do they need to fight so hard?

After thinking for a moment, Nie Dong nodded and said: "Okay, that's it. The location of this ambush is in Yongshan. Liu Qi, you lead the cavalry battalion and Shi Canjun to set off first, and be sure to intercept Gan Chi who is fleeing to Changle. military."

"The last general takes orders!"

Liu Qi responded with his fists clasped, his eyes filled with excitement.

Today's battle ended too quickly, which made him feel unsatisfied.

Nie Dong turned around and said, "Shi joins the army, is that okay?"

Shi Wenhui took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Nie Dutong, I will do my best."

"When you're ready, you can set off first."

After the two left, Nie Dong continued to give instructions: "Xiao Wu, you lead the [-] Qingzhou Army and must rush to Yongshan before tomorrow."

"Huang Kai!"

Hearing Nie Dong calling his name, Huang Kai was stunned for a moment, then clasped his fists and said, "The general is here!"

Although he still doesn't know where the Qingzhou Army comes from or who Nie Dong is, seeing Liu Qi being so respectful and claiming to be the commander-in-chief, he must have a lot of background.

As for the tattoo on the face...

Di Qing also has it on his face, he was once a Privy Councilor.

Thinking of this, Huang Kai looked more respectful.

Nie Dong ordered: "I order you to select [-] elite military guards, temporarily serve them under the command of the military battalion commander, and go together to ambush them."

Since they are traveling lightly in ambush, the number of people should not be too large, otherwise they will be easily exposed.

The [-] Qingzhou Army, [-] elite armed guards, plus more than [-] cavalry under Liu Qi's command, were enough to capture the [-] Daangchi Army in an ambush.

"The last general takes orders!"

Huang Kai was overjoyed, feeling that he had been reused and that he was not far away from rising to prominence.
