The Concubine Wushuang of Red Mansion

Chapter 177 If you dare to use your sword on me today, there will be no guarantee tomorrow...

Seeing that the atmosphere in the camp once again fell into an eerie silence, the governor Xu Dayong cleared his throat and said, "The people in my military department said that the new commander has a total of 4000 people under his command, but yesterday I saw A total of about 5000 to 1000 people have been received from five thousand households, so what about the extra [-] people?"

Yesterday, when the direct descendants of the new commander were stationed, Xu Dayong could not understand Wang Lang's moral character. He thought that a mere thousand households had no rules in front of them, and spoke and acted without any respect. The two started to argue. There was a conflict and they actually wanted to take action, but Yang Xiaojun suppressed it.

"That's what you mean!" Zhou Jinkui glanced at Xu Dayong with admiration, "We can't just allow Duke Zhou to set fires and not allow the people to light lamps! It's certainly wrong to pay empty wages, but the number of soldiers exceeds... This, if we really pursue it, it's impossible to say The crime is bigger than ours!"

If the number of soldiers exceeds the quota and is placed on the heads of generals, if the emperor thinks too much, he may be suspected of treason.

Jin Yi's eyes were dim and he didn't say a word from beginning to end. In his opinion, a man who could defeat the Japanese pirates on the battlefield in the southeast and uproot the Zhen family that had been entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River for nearly a hundred years in one fell swoop, until Now, no one in the court is taking action against this young man. Would such a person leave such an obvious clue for them to catch him?
The common people cannot tell whether there are 4000 or 5000 people in an army. Could it be that even if they are pulled into the military camp, they can't tell?

Marquis Ning Guo is not afraid of impeachment?

As Xu Dayong said, once someone is impeached and the superiors really investigate, the crime is indeed not small. You, a high-ranking general and national honorary, secretly raise so many soldiers, what do you want?
"How about Yang Tongzhi, let's just say this?" Zhou Jinkui always wanted to compete with Yang Xiaojun. Although he was a minister and his rank was one level lower than Yang Xiaojun, who made the queen in the palace have no heirs, and his sister is now The Holy Family is strong?

Seeing that Yang Xiaojun was still hesitating, Zhou Jinkui chuckled in his heart and said earnestly, "This free salary has always existed, and it is not something you or I created. It has become a rule in the army. The so-called light and dust, I heard that this It’s the reason that those literati came up with. Our Marquis is still a scholar and is well versed in literature, so he will definitely understand this truth.”

Yang Xiaojun only thought that Zhou Jinkui was an idiot. He was noncommittal, and no one knew whether he had listened. At this time, seeing that it was getting late, he stood up and said, "Just come here, get ready, we will welcome you soon." It’s the Marquis!”

Outside, there was a commotion in the camp to the west. Four people hurriedly walked out of the camp. They saw Wang Lang, dressed in military uniform, riding on a tall horse. They shouted, "Get out of the camp immediately. Don't leave behind. Follow me!"

I saw Wang Lang leading thousands of households, one man and two horses, holding maces, with excited expressions on their faces. They jumped out of the camp, left the camp gate one after another, and galloped all the way to the west. Wang Lang treated everyone like When they were almost gone, they flicked their riding whip, making a cracking sound in the air, and chased after him.

Yang Xiaojun's blood boiled with excitement. Yesterday when the five thousand households were stationed, they could only see the solemn appearance and strict military discipline. Nothing else could be seen clearly. But at this time, when he saw these soldiers jumping up and down, their eyes were shining. , his morale was like a rainbow, his movements were uniform, and he was actually infected.

Sure enough, this was a journey of bloody bravery after winning countless battles, and it was by no means comparable to a decadent teacher like them raised in Shenjing.

"Is this... an expedition?" Zhou Jinkui frowned. He was a descendant. He came to the army just to get gold and gain military merit so that he could be promoted. If he was serious about going to war, he wouldn't want to!
Zhou Jinkui's eyes flashed, and he had a plan in mind. He thought that he was not the only one in the army who did not want to go on an expedition. He did not believe that the law did not punish everyone. This Ning Guohou dared to deal with all the troops in the general.

Yang Xiaojun didn't answer his words and walked toward the west camp. There, they blocked the north and south directions with their horses, forming a boundary line with the east camp.

This is the current situation of Feixiongwei.

"Who is it? Tell me your name!" The guards with guns blocked Yang Xiaojun from both sides and crossed in the middle.

This is equivalent to the gate guard of Feixiong Weixi Camp. The soldiers who were with Yang Xiaojun were very angry. They came forward to argue with weapons, "Don't you see that it's the commander?"

"I don't know. There is an order from above. No one is allowed to enter or leave the military camp at will. Not to mention the commander, even the commander has to pass our test!"

Yang Xiaojun couldn't help but think of the story of Xiliu Camp. The soldiers behind him became more and more angry. Just as he was about to step forward, he stopped him, took out his tooth tag, showed it, and said, "Please inform Qian, who is in charge here. Husband, I am Yang Xiaojun, commander of the Feixiong Guard, and I have come to inquire about anything!"

A soldier standing nearby heard this, turned around and trotted away. After a while, Feng Dakan and others came to greet him while talking, ordered the guarding soldiers to put away their guns, and invited Yang Xiaojun to come in.

"The Marquis is very strict in running the army. Everything in the army is governed by laws and regulations. Please forgive me for any inconvenience!" Feng Dakan saw that he was the leader of several thousand households and explained to Yang Xiaojun.

As early as on their way back to the capital, they had already figured out the origins of the remaining generals in the Feixiong Guard. They knew that Yang Tongzhi was the elder brother of the Empress of the Middle Palace, and that the commander Zhou Jinkui was Zhou Jinkui. The nobleman's brother.

When they entered the camp yesterday, their troops and horses had already rushed into the camp gate. The soldiers guarding the camp gate were still confused and didn't know what was going on. But after noon, I saw sparse groups of soldiers in the camp, drinking and chatting. The chatter, the gambling, the chaos.

No matter how much Feng Dakan and others despise Yang Xiaojun in their hearts, since they are descendants, they can't afford to offend him, and they can't offend him, so they still have to take care of their face.

Yang Xiaojun had been observing the soldiers in the camp all the way here. He saw that no one was idle while they were training and standing guard. Every move was filled with a chilling air. Everyone's blood was surging, and there was no sign of dejection, even if he was a man. Even a layman can tell that this is a powerful team.

I heard that Marquis Ning Guo was still young and said that his master Xia Jin gave him the military honors on the Jiangnan battlefield. But at this time, Yang Xiaojun just wanted to laugh. A person under his command who can lead such a team needs someone else to give him military honors?

After entering the camp, Feng Dakan honored Yang Xiaojun as the leader. After he and others took their seats, Feng Dakan did not wait for Yang Xiaojun to speak and said, "As soon as we arrived at the camp yesterday, we should go to Master Tongzhi's camp and report to Master Tongzhi, because It’s my first time here and I have a lot to do, so I’m delayed!”

Yang Xiaojun also knew that Feng Dakan and others did not mean this. They were direct descendants brought by the new commander. From the time they first arrived and asked for a change of defense, it was obvious that these thousands of households did not take him and others seriously, but the military Speaking with fists, whoever has the bigger fist is the boss, and Yang Xiaojun is understandable.

"Feng Qianhu is so polite! I came here to ask, I wonder when the commander will come? Many things in the army have been handled temporarily by me before. Now that the Marquis has returned to Beijing, the details in the army , I still want to report it to Lord Marquis!"

"The Marquis went to the morning court this morning, and the herald has just arrived. It won't be long before the Marquis comes, and we will greet him together soon?"

"Very good!"

Here, seeing Yang Xiaojun leading people to the opposite side, Zhou Jinkui fulfilled his wish, and together with Xu Dayong called several thousand households and hundreds of households over, and also held a small meeting in the camp.

"Just now, you guys saw that there were already thousands of families leading the army over there. Following our Lord Marquis, it is a bit good that anyone who wants to make achievements will have a chance. However, this military merit is not something that can be obtained easily. It requires I paid for it with my life and blood." Zhou Jinkui said with a smile.

"Grandma, you're a bear. Who wants military glory? I'm doing my best now, so I can fight like crazy!" Qianhu Anyuancheng has an extraordinary appearance. His sister is Shuixun's concubine. He comes to the army to hang out with Zhou Jinkui. How is it possible for someone who has military merit and is likely to be promoted in the future to go to war?

Zhou Jinkui looked at Zheng Chongxiao, the next Qianhu household. The latter was about 30 years old. He had a slender face, a pair of narrow eyes that always looked like he couldn't wake up. He had a short beard under his chin and had the demeanor of a military commander. Seeing Zhou Jinkui asking for his opinion, He thought for a moment, "I'm afraid we can't take these soldiers out right now!"

If there is a war, it will definitely be a drag!

Zhou Jinkui's face darkened, "Others don't know what is going on in the capital, but we ourselves know it. The military salary was only replenished in the first two months, and we don't have enough to eat. How can we train our troops?"

Another Qianhu household, Wu Xian, saw that Zheng Chongxiao was speechless and was upset. He hurriedly said, "What Mr. Qianshi said is true. The brothers have only been able to fill their stomachs in the past two months. Usually, they are almost killed by the gang from the Ministry of Household Affairs." How can we fight a war when we have been starving to death and haven't even recovered from this?"

"So, regarding this matter, we need to let the commander know that he can understand our difficulties. Our soldiers are different from the ones he brought back from the south. Look at them, one man has two horses, and how many maces are in his hands? How much? Can we afford it?" Zhou Jinkui said.

Xu Dayong echoed, "Leading troops is not that easy. If you want to make your subordinates angry, you have to come up with something. Only then will everyone be convinced. How can you drag people to the battlefield without saying a word?" "Well, Lord Marquis is here for the first time, and we have to appease the thousands of people in the camp here!"

Several Thousand Households and Hundred Households understood the meaning and went to the army to "pacify" each other. Zheng Chongxiao walked at the back, thinking deeply in his heart. Several Hundred Households under his command followed behind, also with their own thoughts.

Here, after Jiao Da handed over several guards to Feng Da Kan, not long after leaving, Jia Cong led a group of personal guards out of Ningrong Street. After shocking Bao Yu, he left the city and went straight to the Jingwei camp. Come.

Yang Xiaojun left all the reception matters to Feng Dakan. Zhou Jinkui was very unconvinced, but the superiority of the official was overwhelming. Thinking of the good show that Jia Cong would watch later, he took a few deep breaths and let his Emotions calmed down.

The generals of the two camps in the east and west camp lined up on both sides respectively. Jia Cong reined in the horses at the camp gate and showed his fangs. The camp gate was wide open and Jia Cong led the guards in. In the eyes of the generals of the west camp, this was a matter of course. However, in the eyes of General Dongying, it was incredible. At that moment, some of the soldiers in Dongying were actually whispering to each other. It was obvious at a glance that they were laughing at what happened at the gate just now.

There is no reason to keep the commander outside. This rule is really strange.

Jia Cong dismounted from his horse and walked through the middle of the east and west camp formations. A pair of hawk-like eyes swept over the formations on both sides. His attention was mainly focused on the east camp side. He saw that the generals and soldiers were disheveled and their appearance was not solemn. , stood without a posture, and his two sword eyebrows were deeply furrowed, almost connecting into one.

Sure enough, one cannot count too much on Feixiongwei's original basic base. Talking about combat effectiveness is already a luxury. Looking at it again, the lineup clearly does not match the number of people who have signed up for him.

Jia Cong had an idea in his mind. He looked around from beginning to end, then turned back. He stood in the middle of the array, facing the soldiers in the east camp, and asked, "Can you still lift the sword? Can you lift the wolf fang?" Great?"

Someone sneered. The people in the eastern camp knew very well what they were laughing at. To be honest, the moment they saw Jia Cong, they also wanted to laugh. After all, this Marquis is too young. Is he still breastfeeding? ?
Why not funny?
Yang Xiaojun and others followed the sound and saw that they were people from the east camp. On the other hand, the people from the west camp were still squinting, with expressionless faces. They looked at their noses and hearts, like wood carvings and clay sculptures, and stood like pine trees, majestic. stern.

Zhou Jinkui also glanced at the western camp, and looked at each other with Xu Dayong, both of whom were silent.

Now is not the time to think about military appearance and discipline!
Jia Cong glanced at the laughing people and asked, "These people who are laughing, I will ignore them. Thousands of households, hundreds of households, general banners, small banners, stand up!"

At first glance, the visitor is not good!
The entire east camp was silent, everyone lowered their heads, and no one followed the order!

Jia Cong smiled a little. He tilted his head slightly and winked at the east camp. The soldiers behind him were about to take the order when they saw who was taking the lead in the east camp. The sound of a sword being drawn was heard. Then, there were more than 2000 people, and some people drew their swords one after another.

Suddenly, the sound of drawing swords appeared in the camp, one after another.

Zhou Jinkui felt happy when he heard such a pleasant voice. He was just an ignorant child. On the southeastern battlefield, he had just benefited from Xia Jin. Xia Jin had paved the way for him. So he thought that he was really the reincarnation of Huo Qubing?
Huo Qubing also started to gain fame!
Yang Xiaojun glanced at Zhou Jinkui and scolded the soldiers sharply, "How impudent!"

But those who drew their swords did not take them back, but stared at Jia Cong. Zhou Jinkui looked sideways at Jia Cong and saw his hand holding the sword on his waist, and his cold eyes staring at the people in the east camp.

Just when someone was about to make a move, they heard a swishing sound from above the camp. The sound was uniform, and Yan Ling knives were unsheathed. The tips of the knives were pointed upward, and the cold light was reflected back, piercing the eyes of everyone here. open.

"All those who have not drawn their swords must come out!" Jia Cong pointed to an open space in the north. Someone was ordered to start running. At this moment, one of them drew his sword and looked at the people running beside him. But before he could swing the knife in his hand, there was a "bang" sound, and blood spurted out from the man's mouth. The knife shook in his hand, and the man fell to the ground dead.

Fireball!

There was an uproar in the camp!
Everyone followed the sound and saw that a group of cavalrymen, each holding a blunderbuss, had surrounded the people in the camp to the east without knowing it.

At this time, there were only those with swords left in the eastern camp, about three to four hundred people. Jia Cong waved his hand violently, and the people in the western camp raised their swords and waved at these people.

"Master Hou!" Zhou Jinkui didn't expect that Jia Cong was so fierce and could attack his own people. He hurriedly said to Jia Cong, "They just..."

Zhou Jinkui knew very well that these people only acted like this after listening to his own instigation and making noise.

"If you dare to use your sword against me today, there is no guarantee that you will not be able to use your sword against the emperor tomorrow. For all those who dare to resist, a few will be left alive for interrogation, and the rest will not be left alive!"

Jia Cong's ruthless voice echoed in the camp, and the smell of blood spread with the wind. Some Jingwei generals who had never been on the battlefield smelled it, and felt vomiting, followed by screams. rang out in the sky, and the soldiers in the east camp were automatically divided into two groups. One was for those who did not involve people in everything, and the other was for the Qianhu, Baihu, Baiqi and Xiaoqi that Jia Cong had just named.

Everyone's legs were trembling. They didn't expect that this young prince would be such a cruel person.

In the end, only some people were killed. Those who resisted were killed. Those who abandoned their swords and begged for mercy were left. All were tied up and thrown aside.

Seeing this, Zhou Jinkui and Xu Dayong's faces were paler than the dead. They were covered in cold sweat, their heartbeats were beating like drums, and they were so scared that they didn't know why.

Zhou Jinkui thought about countless possibilities, but he didn't expect that this young man was so strong, cruel, and murderous. Such a person would play cards unreasonably. Suddenly, he didn't know what kind of tactics to use to fight.

The original plan was to give Jia Cong a slap in the face and let him know that the Flying Bear Guard was not something he could control if he wanted to. Not to mention that it was unreasonable for him to want to drag them out to exchange for his military exploits when he was new to the country and was not even getting hot. !

Poof, someone knelt down, and the leader said, "Wu Xian, my subordinate, deserves to die. Just now, the Marquis ordered us to stand up. We didn't wait in time. Please ask the Marquis for military justice!"

Just now, the people who laughed were mainly An Yuancheng and Wu Xian. Seeing that An Yuancheng didn't stand up, he couldn't stand up.

"Very good! If you disobey the general's orders, you should be punished with death. Today, if you are a first-time offender and have a good attitude towards admitting your mistakes, you will be exempted from the death penalty, but you will not escape from the living crime. Thirty big banners for each person of more than [-] households, and twenty for each of hundreds of flags and small flags. Board, execution!"

As Jia Cong finished speaking, someone stepped forward. Suddenly, the sound of bamboo boards piercing flesh could be heard on the school ground, and wailing sounds could be heard one after another.

Jia Cong stood motionless at the front, looking coldly in front of him. He didn't expect that Jingwei had such a trend. If he couldn't subdue these people with thunderous means today, he would really give him a blow. In the future, he The general will not be able to leave the Chinese army tent.

In the military, everything is based on strength. Now it seems that it is not difficult to find out who wants to give him a show of strength and who instigated the soldiers and school flags to be like this.

Jia Cong turned his head slightly and glanced at the pale faces of the commanding colleagues and commanding officers on the left and right, and he already knew what was going on.
