Miss, the blacksmith has also been recruited, shouldn’t we go back?”Qin’er sat in the sedan chair while massaging Li Shu’s calves and said softly.
“What’s the hurry to go back, when I was in the capital, I let Rui’er borrow the Fire Dragon Sutra out from uncle’s study, and topped up a stack of them, wouldn’t it be a waste if we don’t earn five or six blacksmiths to go back.”Li Shu narrowed her eyes and smiled slightly, like a fox.
Qin’er ……Miss this is an empty glove, and a set is going to set five ……
“Let’s go, go to Yonghefang locust tree hutong, Wang Xiao Er said that there is also a blacksmith surnamed Zhang, was originally Taizhou Guards Battle Bureau blacksmith, but also had gone down to the South Seas to steal the teacher of the red razor artillery, and then an injury destroyed his eyes, was swept away by the Taizhou Bureau of Battle Bureau, and is now in a state of despondency and despondency, it is the right time to take advantage of the great opportunity to take advantage of the void ……”
Li Shu lazily reached out and ordered the sedan chair to get up and go to Yonghefang Sophora Hutong, earning Zhang Blacksmith.
“Oh oh ……”Only then did Qin’er come back to her senses, lifting the curtains and sending word outside to go to Yonghefang Sophora Hutong.
After about half an hour, Li Shu left Yonghefang Sophora Hutong with a smile on her face and went to the next location.
Behind the sedan chair, a big and thick one-eyed strong man, gratefully worshipped towards the sedan chair.
……
On the third day, when Li Shu and his party left from Yangzhou, the party had grown a lot more, with five more accompanying blacksmiths as well as more than a dozen blacksmith apprentices, and four more ships pulling baggage full of iron ingots, copper ingots, saltpeter, sulphur and other things.
Half of the goods on these additional ships were purchased by Ou Zhiguo and other recruited blacksmiths themselves.
Iron ingots and copper ingots in Yangzhou city were fine, but saltpeter and sulphur were almost bought out all at once.
When Li Shu departed from Yangzhou to Yingtian, Zhu Pingan arrived at Guangde with the recruited Yiwu recruits.
This way pulling, Yiwu recruits showed the qualities of their natural breed of soldiers, simple and honest, obedience to discipline, obedience to orders, perseverance and patience, as long as the order is given, they obey without fail, as long as they don’t call out to stop, they can go all the way down the road, even if they are already tired and exhausted ……
All the way down the road, all the way to practice, the journey almost gone most of the way, Yiwu recruits have already had the results of college students after more than half a month of military training, has been initially blurred with the shadow of the military, especially in the Liu Dazhou and other veterans of the Zheijiang army under the leadership of the walk up the queue, with style, quite able to bluff people.
Of course, Yiwu recruits also have a lot of shortcomings, such as low literacy rate, slow learning speed, etc., but the flaws do not cover up, and these shortcomings are suspicious of the latter day to improve. Compared to the many advantages of Yiwu recruits, these shortcomings are suspiciously negligible.
Zhu Pingan recruited Yiwu recruits are very satisfied, worthy of the history of the famous Qi family army, really is the name, they are also considered to have taken advantage of Qi Jiguang’s great advantage, in the future and then encountered Qi Jiguang must be properly thanked, although Qi Jiguang must not know why he wants to thank him.
Taking advantage of the Yiwu recruits is a blank sheet of paper, along the way Zhu Pingan instilled in them “the mission of the military is to protect the country”, “soldiers to obey orders as their own responsibility”, “soldiering and fighting, military duty”Never abandon, never give up”, “Military discipline is like iron, national law is like heaven”, “The first priority of the Zhejian army is to eliminate Japanese invaders and save the people of Jiangnan”.and “The first priority of the ZheJiang army is to eliminate the Japanese invaders and save the people in Jiangnan”, etc., which shaped their correct view of soldiers.
“I am a soldier, from the common people; bathing in the imperial grace to defeat the Japanese invaders and eliminate the hu hu hun;
I am a soldier, I love the king and the people; the fiery war has tested me, and my position is more firm;
Hey, the weapon hold tight, eyes see clearly; who dares to invade my home, resolutely beat him without mercy ….”
The Yiwu recruits lined up in a long serpentine queue, singing a loud and clear military song, and crossed the fields of Guangde.
“By order of His Excellency, when passing through the fields, do not trample on the ridges, do not trample on the crops, violators will be severely punished!”
“By order of His Excellency, do not harass the people, do not speak or act in an unruly manner, violators will be severely punished!”
Zhu Pingan’s order was proclaimed, none of the Yiwu recruits dared to disobey, they all walked along the field paths, more than 1,200 people passed by without trampling a single crop or an inch of the field ridges.
And, of course, not a single civilian was disturbed.
Such a strict marching discipline, let the farmers working in the fields put down their hearts, and do not call their children to hide, and boldly sit in the field or under the roadside tree to see the Zhejiang army recruits passing by, resting while talking about it.
“This is that soldier ah, is Governor Zhang from where to transfer the elite, to the coast to eliminate the Japanese?”
“What soldiers? Don’t you see they’re all wearing our commoners’ clothes, they don’t look like soldiers.”
“Not soldiers? Didn’t you hear them sing ‘I’m a soldier’? Maybe they had a mission and deliberately changed into the clothes of the common people and disguised themselves as the common people in order to confuse the Japanese and come up with a tough one.”
“This military song is really good, I really hope that all the soldiers can be like this ……”
“What are you thinking, these days, such soldiers are rare. Most of the soldiers are not as good as the thieves and robbers, and they are more ruthless than the thieves and robbers, and they may be able to get away with it, but when they meet the soldiers, they will be lucky.”
The townspeople in the fields were talking feverishly, very curious about the origin of the Zhejun recruits.
When Zhu Pingan led the Zhejiang Army recruits all the way to the pulling exercise, closer and closer to the Peach Blossom Collection School Ground, his eldest uncle Zhu Shouren and his two best friends of Crouching Dragon Phoenix arrived in Chizhou five days ago, and now five days have passed, and they have not yet come out of Chizhou either.
They set out from home, take the Yangtze River waterway, downstream, would have been but a few days of travel, but ten days down, they are only out of the Anqing province, arrived in Chizhou only, the journey just started a head …….
The sun is rising, and the cold wind is sweeping.
“Brother Zhu, do we dare to depart on a boat to catch the road.”Hu Wei and Xia Qiang both said to Zhu Shouren who had just woken up.
“Alas, I am unable to bear it in my heart.”Zhu Shouren let out a long sigh.
“What is it that Brother Zhu can’t bear to do?”Hu Wei and Xia Qiang both asked hurriedly.
“Now it is already a cold winter month, the cold wind, the flood waves rise, you see, opposite a weak woman looking out of the window, thinly dressed, shivering ……Although I failed to reach the world, but also do not want to be alone, this cold weather, I would like to go over to ask this poor weak woman to have a hot soup, what do you think?”
Zhu Shouren said as he pointed across the street.
Hu Wei and Xia Qiang followed Zhu Shouren’s finger to see, only to see the opposite Drunken Flower Tower first floor, a woman in revealing clothes, is waving a handkerchief in the selling of customers, extremely scratching their heads to show off the ability to ……
Hu Wei and Xia Qiang stared blankly ……
