Chapter 966 Intercourse
The sun sets, and it is dusk again one day.
After solving the problem of the officers and soldiers hiding their property before noon, the three armies ate some dry food and set off from the north coast of Tai O Island to the southeast, and the east coast highland across the sea from Nan'ao Island.
When he arrived at the location of Donggang Village in later generations, Chen Xi ordered the entire army to stop and start building a camp.
The officers and soldiers were busy, and soon the tents were up and then they began to build fortifications. The whole guys were busy for a whole afternoon and finally finished their work. They were exhausted. The soldiers began to build food, while the rest of the officers and soldiers lay in groups or sat together to chat.
Chen Xi was holding a telescope, but he was aiming at Mount Nan'ao opposite the sea, but the camp of his army.
At this time, he felt quite emotional. He had a long way to go to build this army into an elite army. Fortunately, both the Japanese pirates and pirates in the late Hongzhi era were not in a state of chaos. If the Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty were the most prosperous era, this team would have achieved the historical record of Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou.
Chen Xi took the opportunity to go around the military camp. With him, the highest commander, patrolling the camp, the officers and soldiers finally boosted some morale and even their attention improved, but this was far from enough in Shen Xi's opinion.
"Tomorrow, I hope you don't let me down!"
Chen Xi said, walking southward towards the barracks, and the faces of the guards behind him showed surprise.
Generally speaking, the south of the military camp has always been a place to place wounded numbers, which was also set up by Chenxi at the beginning of the army. Whenever a camp is set up, all the injured and sick are arranged in the south of the camp. In this way, even if the camp is moved or new wounded and sick are generated, the soldiers of the three armies will know where to send people.
In addition to the resettlement of the injured, the southern part of the camp will also be escorted to it if the enemy captives are caught.
In the words of those veterans, the southern part of the camp is the "Heavenly Evil" and it is best not to go for the rest of your life, otherwise you will be in trouble. Therefore, those who station and take care of the wounded and sick, and those who manage the captives are basically new recruits.
The purpose of Chen Xi coming to Nanying was to comfort the "injured number".
The army headed north like a staggering force. No wounded soldiers were found around Chenghai and fighting on Da'ao Island. The only sick person now is Jing Yue, who was killed by Chenxi and was beaten forty military sticks.
At this time, Jing Yue lay on the wooden board covered with dry straw and dead leaves, his butt facing the sky, talking to the recruit who was preparing the ointment for him. As soon as he opened his mouth, he said, "I think about how I was back then." The recruit was stunned when he heard this, mainly because he was envious of Jing Yue's personal captain who was able to win the military and serve as the governor.
To be a martial artist means not being a purely crude person, who can read and write, just like Wang Lingzhi. The martial artist exam has a battle strategy assessment, and the Ming Dynasty does not need a general who doesn’t even know his words.
Unfortunately, many of the hereditary Qianhu and middle and lower-level officers were illiterate, which was also the reason why the quality of the Ming soldiers was generally not high. They were not even able to read. They only knew how to use brute force on the battlefield or used those conventional means of saving lives. It would be strange if the soldiers could have combat effectiveness.
Chen Xi has been very respectful to Jing Yue since the beginning. In addition to being loyal and reliable in doing things, Jing Yue has a certain mind and speaks clearly, so in Shen Xi's eyes, he is a talent.
As for Sun Xinian, they are essentially similar to Jing Yue, but when Chen Xi communicates with him, he always feels like playing the piano. These people do their own things behind their backs. Even if they are trained with care, they will only create cowards who only know how to flatter and fear death.
The recruit who had prepared ointment was extremely envious when he heard this, but when he saw Chen Xi bringing his personal guards into the tent, he was so scared that he shivered all over. He didn't realize that he should get up to salute, so he just lowered his head and continued to prepare the ointment.
Jing Yue cursed: "Look at your cowardly appearance, how can you fight with me and make achievements in the future? Tell you, I will serve my butts and cultivate you step by step!"
"Who are you going to cultivate?"
Chen Xi asked coldly.
Jing Yue was shocked. Only then did he realize why the new recruit Danzi, who was responsible for taking care of the people, was so scared. He immediately turned around and looked at Chen Xi, wanting to get up and salute, but the injury on his butt was a little serious, so he could only lie there and kowtow: "Sir, the injury on Beizhi's butt has not been cured, so he won't get up to salute you."
Although his words were quite respectful, Chen Xi could hear the resentment contained in it.
This is also the place where Chen Xi admires Jing Yue. Although this person has the anger that ordinary people have, he is aware of the general and has a moderate degree of tension and stability. He is not a person who is a nonsense or disrespectful person.
Jing Yue was deeply influenced by the Confucian doctrine of the mean. Chen Xi remembered that Li Che, the commander of Guangdong, instructed Jing Yue to send Liu Ya to the boat. Perhaps even Li Che thought that Jing Yue was thicker and more meticulous and would not mess up the matter.
He can be a general to kill the enemy because Jing Yue has the passion and passion of a warrior; he can be a personal guard to protect his side because he is loyal and responsible for his duties; he can be a friend to talk with him. Although his words are rough, his words are clear in order; he can be an aide to give advice because he is knowledgeable, although many wisdom and tricks are not worth mentioning in Shen Xi's opinion; he can even be a lackey and do some shameless things, because he also knows how to flatter and be well versed in Confucianism's doctrine of meanness.
This is the impression Jing Yue left on Chen Xi, he is simply... a versatile talent!
Chen Xi sat on the stool next to the wooden board, waved his hand, and the guards and the recruits who were equipped with ointments consciously left the camp. Chen Xi sighed, "Old Jing, are you still blaming me for beating you?"
Jing Yue mocked himself with a little bit of self-deprecating: "It makes sense for the adult to beat him. It's all because Bei Zhi was blinded by the lard. Seeing that money was jealous, he put a few silver croakers in his pocket. Later, Bei Zhi also figured it out. It was to intimidate the bastards in the army. Thinking about it this way, Bei Zhi was beaten up on his butt. But...ah!"
He didn't finish his words, but Chen Xi knew that Jing Yue's words had not been finished.
Why is it me who was beaten rather than others? You can just catch so many people who have private spoils. You shouldn’t use someone who is loyal to you as the target of killing the chicken and scaring the monkey!
Jing Yue advocated repaying favors, and Chen Xi valued him very much, so he used loyalty to repay him. But he gave his loyalty and felt that Chen Xi should use him more, rather than pulling him out to the tank when he needed to warn him, which made him feel extremely cowardly.
Chen Xi shook his head: "Lao Jing, although we haven't known each other for a long time, I think you are the most capable of these three armies..."
"I dare not be a good person. Sir, please don't give up your humble position. You know the best. You can follow you from a hundred households to a deputy, and you are already in the ancestral grave to smoke. You are lucky in your three lives. You can't figure out the humble position, but you are kind to me, and at the same time, you can't get along with your future. You are angry with you. How did you do the same in the past? Do you think?"
Jing Yue first analyzed his situation and his position. After he said this, even Chen Xi felt that it made some sense.
Jing Yue, although you are following me with all your heart, I have also made you gain military merits. Not only do you reward you with many rewards, but you also have a higher title. As a result, you will hide the spoils in front of me. It will be light to beat you. If you cut off your head, you will really kill a warning to a hundred people. You have nothing to say.
But Jing Yue's wiseness made Chen Xi feel very comfortable and nodded, "Since you can understand, that's great. You did too much and too ostentatiously. If I don't punish you, it will only make the whole army think that this trend is my tacit approval."
"But you are diligent in your daily work and you are beaten forty-killing sticks. It is indeed a bit harsh. If you can return to Guangzhou Prefecture safely, you will be compensated with your good land and beautiful houses."
Jing Yue said in shock: "What are you saying, sir?"
"What, you are not satisfied with Liangtian Meizu. Do you want me to lose all your money to pay for your medical expenses or what?" Chen Xi looked at Jing Yue coldly.
At this moment, the resentment in Jing Yue's heart had already disappeared, and he smiled and said, "Sir, you are now out of here. The humble butt is not worth a good place and a beautiful house. If you like it..."
Chen Xi waved his hand and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Yes, it's the fault of a humble position. Adults don't like it... Cough cough, if adults think they need to fight dozens of military sticks to establish their military power, just ask for instructions. As for the good fields and beautiful houses, there is no need for them." Jing Yue said with a smile.
Chen Xi shook his head helplessly: "The fertile land and beautiful house I mentioned may be just a small farmyard, and there are still a few more land. Do you really think that my official will buy three large houses and hundreds of hectares of mature fields for you? Rest well, and you will stay on Da'ao Island in the battle to attack the island tomorrow..."
Jing Yue was a little dissatisfied when he heard this: "Don't underestimate others. Although Bei Yi was injured, after a night of treatment, he will definitely be alive tomorrow. There is no problem in killing the enemy in battle."
Chen Xidao: "I also want to stay in Tai O, why are you doing in Nan'ao Mountain?"
A word left Jing Yue speechless. His responsibility was to be Chen Xi's personal guard. Chen Xi did not need to go to Nan'ao Island to fight. He volunteered to Ying and was a bit of a waste of money.
Chen Xi stood up and walked out, and Jing Yue turned around: "Sir, you can't send me a job, please take care of me..." Chen Xi left the tent before he heard Jing Yue shouting in the tent, "Ashun, come in and apply medicine to me, have you heard?"
Chen Xi shook his head and smiled. He walked forward a few steps and saw a man sitting on a tree stump in annoyance, his hands were bound by shackles. At this time, he was raising his head and looking at him fiercely.
It is Jiang Liwei, who Chen Xi has not noticed for many days.
The once glorious Jinyiwei Bei Town Fushi is now so down-and-out, which is really sad.
The cause of the incident was that Jiang Liwei accepted Song Kuang's bribe. Song Kuang was beheaded and had no evidence of death. Chen Xi had confirmed his crime. Jiang Liwei had figured it out along the way. The earlier he left Chen Xi's control and rushed back to the capital, the easier it was to explain it clearly. If it took a long time and the case was decided by the time he returned to Beijing, it would be too late and no one could overturn the case for him.
If he really reaches that point, only Chen Xi, who is aware of the roots, can help him get rid of his guilt, and then he can only ask Chen Xi to be kind to the outside world. There is another problem. It would be fine if Chen Xi wins and returns to the court, but others can listen to Chen Xi's words, but if Chen Xi is defeated, then his grievances will not be able to get snow.
