Chapter 38
As soon as this idea came out, Cui Po was slightly stunned, and laughed at himself, making fun of his thoughts that it was ridiculous. If he didn't lack food or owe wages, this place was not a battlefield, so how could he mutiny?
But the soldiers shouted so loudly that Cui Po couldn't hear clearly what they were calling, so he simply stopped telling and continued to walk towards the reading stand with soothing steps.
As he moved closer and closer, Cui Po saw clearly that the soldiers shouting towards him were full of irrational fanaticism. This scene was very similar to the scene he saw when he was racing on the Tubo Plateau. However, he was not the one who was cheered at that time. This was the first time that Zhongzhen General had enjoyed such courtesy. He was not even a little fluttering pleasure.
With thousands of gazes, Cui Po had already reached the school reading stand, but he did not go up directly, but slowly followed the front row of soldiers. With the gradually lowered shouts, he either punched the soldier on the shoulder or patted the shoulder. Sometimes there were soldiers who could remember their names and even called out casually and chatted a few words, which made these young men full of energy full of excitement and smirk. Those who were more intelligent took the opportunity to show their loyalty.
It took only half an hour for Zhongzhen general to go around a large circle on the periphery and roughly completed the inspection of the state army. He slowly walked to the colonel's reading stand with his right hand that had hit nearly a thousand people's shoulders. After a look at Gao Chongwen, who was cold-mouthed, he stood straight behind the stage.
"Hu Xiaoshuan, leave the list." Gao Chongwen suddenly shouted loudly after patrolling Leng Jun's eyes for a week.
"It's so fucking unlucky, why are you seen again..." Hu Xiaoshuan muttered, but he ran to the queue without any hesitation. After a salute, he stood up straight.
"When the army gathers, you dare to look around at will, which will cause riots in the army. If you don't punish, you will not be able to apply for military discipline. Come on! Drag down and whip twenty to serve as a warning to others." As soon as the words fell, four Red Tassel soldiers were running up early to drag the sharpshooter in the army. Who knew that Hu Xiaoshuan was very tough and had already taken steps towards the execution office without waiting for them to get closer.
With the shrill sound of the wind stirring up by the whip, the noisy atmosphere suddenly changed, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn above the school ground. Gao Chongwen then continued to speak: "The rest of the people will be loudly quarreling. In the next three days, all the subjects will be trained three times. If anyone dares to be careless and negligent, the military law will be served. Now, please invite Mr. Cui, the general of Zhongzhen, to give a lecture."
Cui Po stepped forward and gave a military salute. After returning the salute to the soldiers, he laughed and said loudly to Hu Xiaoshuan, who was being tortured: "Okay, Hu Xiaoshuan, why do you have any criminals of military law every time?" His words immediately attracted a burst of laughter from the soldiers. It turned out that Hu Xiaoshuan was originally a hunter at the foot of Gushe Mountain before joining the army. He was extremely accurate with archery skills, but he was used to running between the mountains and fields, so he was inevitably a little unrestrained. After joining the army, although all the training subjects were outstanding, and he was repeatedly praised, and he was even promoted to the brigade commander by the soldiers, it was really difficult to deal with military law. He did not make a big mistake. He just couldn't control his own random talk and movement. Therefore, he was repeatedly accepted by military law and was also a prominent figure in the Jinzhou Prefecture Army.
Cui Po also followed the soldiers and said loudly: "Military law is ruthless, no one can save you. But you violated the military law this time and it was me who caused you to recover from your injuries. After you recover, I will ask you to have a good meal at Shuiyue Tower and think how much compensation will be made!"
The soldiers of the new Jinzhou army already knew that Gao Chongwen was cold-mouthed and ruthless in law enforcement; and the generals of Zhongzhen, who were unwilling to adapt to military laws, were mostly kind and caring for the soldiers. Over time, they had figured out their tempers. Although these soldiers were afraid of Gao Chongwen when they saw Gao Chongwen, they were more happy and not so reserved. They were even more courageous. They could even take the right opportunity to joke with Mr. Cui. As soon as Cui Po finished his speech, Li Shu, who joined the recruiting army to eat meat that day, shouted loudly: "Sir, we are also punished for this matter. Should we go to the banquet at Shuiyuelou?" As soon as these words came out, they caused a lot of noise in the field below.
This Shuiyue Tower is the best restaurant in Jinzhou, and the price is naturally the highest. Nearly 3,000 people went with them, and they had no bones to eat. Cui Po didn't expect that his words caused this great trouble. He touched his nose and smiled bitterly: "Although I have some wealth, I can't afford to invite so many brothers. Since I can't be together, I can only share the hardships. In the past three days, I will accompany everyone to practice, which can be regarded as compensation for everyone!" His words also caused a lot of noise from the soldiers.
After laughing for a while, it was rewarded by soldiers who had experienced it. With Gao Chongwen's roll title, there were fifty military officers and soldiers with the best performance in today's training.
Cui Po saw that the person in front of the line was an old acquaintance, Yang Shuzheng, who was 28 years old. He said that he was one of the oldest people in the recruitment of the army this time. He was very strict with himself in daily practice and cared about other young brothers. He was very loved by the soldiers and recommended the officers to lead the troops, and was also the first to be elected as the captain of the army with a high vote and was rewarded more times.
"Old Yang, it's not bad! I can think of such a trick, breaking the Three Mountains Heaven and Earth Formation of the Guardian in one fell swoop. I can't tell that you still have such thoughts, it's not bad!" Cui Po stepped forward and said to him with a smile.
Yang Shuzheng's face turned red when he heard this. After a moment of silence, he said after a military salute: "Sir, this idea was not thought of by a humble official, so he dare not be praised by the adults."
At this time, Cui Po had already walked a few steps behind, praising the third soldier who should be rewarded in a gentle manner. Hearing this, he paused and asked in surprise: "Who is paying attention?"
"It was the idea of Li Xiaomao, a sergeant under the subordinate of the subordinate," Yang Shuzheng answered straight.
"Oh! Where is Li Xiaomao?" Cui Po asked.
When Yang Shuzheng heard this, he immediately turned around and shouted loudly to the audience: "Li Xiaomao, come up" and a thin man ran up to the stage, accompanied by another noisy laughter.
After seeing Li Xiaomao clearly, Cui Po understood the reason for the laughter. It turned out that this person's appearance was really not a compliment. It was not that he was ugly, but when people saw it, they felt a little "splied". There was an urge to immediately cover his pocket and take off three steps away. The triangular eyes that kept turning constantly, and the extremely lively facial features. Although he tried hard to stand up straight, he still couldn't stop shaking his legs. Li Xiaomao just stood there, which best interpreted the best meaning of the word "liar".
"Li Xiaomao, how did you think of the idea of using smoke?" Cui Po asked with a smile and a smile.
Seeing the chief inquiring, Li Xiaomao saluted with a "pop" and stood up straight and whispered loudly: "When we caught rabbits at home, the rabbits hid in the hole and didn't come out, just using this method." The sound ended, which caused laughter in the audience.
Gao Chongwen held back his smile and went up to Cui Po and introduced: "This Li Xiaomao has many ideas. Since the basic training was completed and the state army began group drills, he has been making a big splash. He is digging tunnels, making traps, and putting anesthetics into the other party's drinking water. He is really doing everything he wants. Although there are many victories, he has offended other soldiers. Therefore, the selection of soldiers and officers every three months has not been willing to choose him. He is still an ordinary soldier until now."
When Cui Po heard this, he smiled and stepped forward and said to Li Xiaomao: "No, good, good soldiers are willing to use their brains when they are soldiers. Now, I officially appointed you as the brigade commander, and will not be subject to the restrictions of the three months of selection. As for the 100 soldiers under your command, you can choose from the army and do it well. I hope for you." After saying that, he patted his shoulder hard.
As soon as this said, it caused a lot of surprise on the stage, and a hot stream suddenly rolled across Li Xiaomao's heart, and his eyes suddenly felt a pity. Because of his natural appearance, he was inevitably wary of people everywhere in his hometown, and no one wanted to approach him. Over time, he was inevitably angry and took revenge one by one with his natural cleverness. However, since this, he couldn't stay in his hometown. Later, when he saw the newly recruited state army in Jinzhou, he simply joined the army in anger. Although he was trying hard to show himself in the army, he could not live in harmony with others. Everyone was still wary of him. After the group drill, because of his detrimental moves, he also made more people disgusted. Therefore, although he made many achievements, no one was in danger.
He was willing to recommend him, and saw that many people who were far inferior to him were wearing the officer's robe. Although he pretended not to care, he was actually very depressed. He did not expect that the general of Zhongzhen would not abandon him at all, skipped the first level of the team and directly appointed as the brigade commander. Especially the trust on his warm face only made him feel warm in his heart instantly. He had the urge to cry out all the grievances he had suffered in the past twenty years. But after all, he had been in the army for a long time and knew that the most shameful thing in the military camp was tears. He was quite scheming and suppressed the strange emotions in his heart. After another military salute, he said loudly: "Thank you for your cultivation." Although he was a little scholar, he didn't know that there was a saying that "a scholar died for his confidant", but he had already secretly sweared in his heart and handed over this life to the person in front of him.
"Okay," Cui Po responded casually, patted his shoulder and walked towards the queue until the fifty people who deserved to be rewarded were praised one by one before announcing their dissolution.
The Zhongzhen general, who was strongly eager to see his family, did not stay in the army for dinner this time. As soon as the army was disbanded, he immediately rode his horse and ran towards the mansion.
When he arrived at the mansion, he stopped the call that the doormen wanted to open his mouth and gently walked towards the inner house alone. After he came back from the house for half a year, he naturally should have greeted his mother's room first. It happened that he had just arrived at the door. Just as he was about to step in, he heard a low and gentle voice saying: "My mother, don't worry. My daughter-in-law had already condemned people to ask the post station in the province yesterday, saying that his husband and the foreign mission had already returned to Beijing. I think it was because he was delayed and he came back a little late. In a few days, it was naturally time to arrive." However, Jingruo was comforting Mrs. Cui who was eager to miss her.
"Yes! My husband is auspicious and celestial phenomenon. This time I made great contributions. Maybe when I come back, I will bring back a reward for my mother!" Only by hearing this gentle and delicate voice, Cui Po knew that it was Wuyi who was making fun of her mother to make her happy.
"I'm afraid that Sister Wuyi wants to give her the most honorary edict! She even wants to talk to the old lady." Seeing that everyone was happy, Polite said it casually. She said that she was close to Wuyi, but now she has no outsiders, so she has no concerns when speaking.
"Pomegranate, you girl is too rude to speak." Cui Lu, who was happy, laughed and scolded Pogranate and sighed: "Poer had no father at the age of four. He was poor and poor. He didn't think he could be an official, but he just hoped that he could grow up safely and inherit this cigarette. But he didn't expect that now he has to bless Emperor Xuanyuan, this child has become a climate and has married you two filial wives. Logically speaking, people of my age shouldn't have anything to sigh anymore. But since he became this official, it's not easy to run around all day to meet him. I still think in my heart! Today I'll tell you a few juniors to laugh at you."
When Cui Po, who was standing outside the door, felt sad when he heard this, he suppressed himself. He took a few steps back and stepped on his footsteps and went to the inside.
"It's husband...it's young master..." As soon as he heard the footsteps, these two cheerful shouts came from the room.
After entering the room, Cui Po ignored Jingruo and others, walked straight to Cui Lu, and bowed: "My son is unfilial and cannot serve in front of him. I am tired of my mother's concern." After saying that, he felt sad and ignored his mother's dissuasion. He then stood up after three bows.
"What are you saying? A good man should be determined by all directions. He will be the king of Yao and Shun, and he will be kind to the people below. He will be at home every day. What kind of future can he have?" Cui Lu looked at his beloved son carefully while teaching him.
"What my mother said!" Cui Po bowed to the teachings and greeted the two wives just now. He couldn't stand the so many etiquettes between the couple, but his mother was sitting at this time. If this were not the case, the two wives seemed to be ignorant, so they could not say that they would have to go there again.
