Chapter 116 Iron Ding and clues
Chapter 116 Tieding and clues
According to the distance on the official road, there is basically a station working there in about a day. Although it only accepts official personnel, there are also many inns and other shops built around the station, so it is naturally very convenient to rest.
Jiang Feng must not know the latest conversation record. He was quite tired all day soon. He found a room in the inn and stayed in the inn early - the inn has the best rooms here.
Zhang Liang was still unable to open his eyes there, but after checking the carriage in the convoy with sleepy eyes, he suddenly felt something was peeping not far away. When he turned around and saw nothing, he couldn't help but smiled at himself, yawning into the inn and sleeping without mentioning it.
There are about a hundred families stationed near the post stations near the capital, with well-armed soldiers. If there is a blind bandit who wants to attack the post station, it will be blind and there will be nothing wrong all night.
The weather was still clear the next day. After the station was resting, everyone was full of energy. It was still half a day away, so there was no need to worry about staying in the hotel at night. Jiang Feng was still riding a horse and following the back. He looked around and seemed to be observing something. Zhang Liang stopped for a moment and asked with a smile:
"Master, this wilderness can't even see a larger tree. Is there any scenery?"
Jiang Feng smiled and said:
"No wonder the records that Lili sent were as mentioned above. After the Tartars entered the pass, they all had to run into the city. The horse was flat and the cavalry was unobstructed. We had been walking for a day and a half after leaving the capital, and now we didn't even see a mountain."
Zhang Liang is no longer surprised by his lack of common sense. He can only say that the gods in the sky bring wisdom to Jiang Feng and good fortune from heaven. Otherwise, how could he suddenly become so smart? In fact, all those who know Jiang Feng think so. Fortunately, the people in the Ming Dynasty still believe in ghosts and gods.
Zhang Liang explained with a wry smile:
"It's better to start with Emperor Zhengde. When I move forward, I heard from the old man in my family that you can see the Tartar cavalry below when standing on the city wall. Both sides can shoot at each other with bows. The Jinyiwei and the yamen runners of Shuntian Mansion must take knives to the city wall."
Jiang Feng never expected that things would return to this level. He looked at Zhang Liang in surprise. Zhang Liang nodded. Jiang Feng suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and said with some concern:
"Then our farm?"
"At that time, I will just run towards the Tianjin sanitation site. No one will notice it halfway up the mountain. By the way, Master, I seem to feel someone staring at me at night, but I haven't found anyone staring at me."
The conversation just now made Jiang Feng feel a little surprised. When he heard Zhang Liang say this, he turned around and looked behind him. Apart from the caravans and caravans, he could not see anyone following him and who was doing business normally. However, he could not be so relaxed on the road.
"Snap the journey and strive to have lunch at Wulou Village!!"
With a shout, the speed of the carriages and horses rose faster. When the sun was slightly west, they arrived directly on the mountain road. Now the merchants who came and went to know that there was a village on the hillside near the official road. More than a dozen families were said to be the property of a small official in the Jinyiwei in the capital.
Seeing seven or eight big cars going up the mountain, I didn’t feel surprised and felt that I might have to rest on the farm.
As soon as he was on the mountain road, Jiang Feng suddenly felt a little noise on the side of the mountain road. Just as he was about to pay attention, Zhang Liang next to him said with a smile:
"Master, the new coach on the mountain is quite capable. He is always practicing the new students every day, but he is really capable. These new students keep watch on the mountain every day. I don't know where they are hiding."
Sure enough, halfway through the convoy, the people and the newcomers in the village had already welcomed them. Seeing the things on the cart, they were cheering and hurriedly pushing the cart up the mountain. Although the mountain road was smooth, the cart pulled heavy objects and was still someone came to push them to the point where they could be effective.
Looking at the new guys who were still messy some time ago, their behavior is already quite legal. Seven or eight big cars, the people who came down were automatically divided into more than a dozen teams. They came to help each other and seemed to have a clear system. It was not the first time I saw myself crying and thankful, but I saluted and greeted me in awe.
Jiang Feng thought to himself that it is not easy to train these newcomers. It has been more than a month since the advancement and retreat, but he is also a little worried. He cannot come to this place often. If he always leaves it to others for practice, then he can be a close confidant there.
The villagers of Wulouzhuang were extremely grateful to Jiang Feng. They thought it would be a great joy to have Wulouzhuang, a place where they settled down to the capital to study, and some of them went to the city to visit their children. When they came back, they all said that the children of each family had gained a lot there, and they were happy.
While on the mountain road, before the newcomers came to lead the horse, Yang Da walked in front and respectfully took the reins and went all the way up the mountain.
Tiedan came out early and followed the horses and told Jiang Feng about the recent situation. It is now impossible for families with nearly 200 yuan on the fifth floor to be self-sufficient in daily grain and expenses. Therefore, the grain stores and Tianjin Sanitary in the capital all spend money to order.
I should have come to deliver food yesterday, but it has not arrived yet. Fortunately, there is still five days to store food in the village, so there is no big problem. Moreover, during the first lunar month, merchants either have just opened their business or are short of staff, so there are so many things there, so it is often delayed.
However, Jiang Feng was still a little absent-minded and didn't listen to the matter. He was thinking about the more than 100 newcomers on the mountain.
Although I haven't come for only a month, the Wulou Village now looks quite like a fortress. There is a high stone wall opposite the mountain road. Behind the stone wall is the large stone house arranged by Jiang Feng, which just blocks the mountain road. If you enter and exit, you will only have a relatively narrow road.
All the doubts were relieved after seeing the officers who trained the newcomers. Zhang Liang had already said before that although his father found the man, he himself did not remember that there was such an elder in his family.
Jiang Feng was still very surprised. What was surprised was that the officers who trained these newcomers were already in their fifties. At this time of cold weapons, there were still active officers in their fifties (in fact, many). How could such people run with big swords and spears?
But since I am here to train my servants, I have to speak politely. Jiang Feng clasped his fists and said:
"I don't know what you call me?"
We are all hundreds of households, so we don’t have to be so polite. The other party’s answer is quite simple, and the etiquette used by Jiang Feng to see the etiquette of a subordinate who met Shangguan and said in a low voice:
"I worked in the Warriors Camp of the Imperial Horse Supervision, with a surname of Zhang. I came from Jiangxi last year."
After these words, Jiang Feng suddenly understood that the Imperial Horse Supervisor was under the jurisdiction of Zhang Yong. Last year, it happened to be the year when Zhang Yong returned to the capital from Jiangxi. The etiquette used was the etiquette of seeing the lower part and seeing the higher part. This clearly means that he was sent by Zhang Yong to train these people.
Of course, Zhang Yong's personal soldiers and generals were all on the border. The powerful soldiers and generals who fought old wars from all over the country were much more useful than Jiang Feng's found in the Jinyiwei. Then the old officer's words completely made Jiang Feng feel free to worry:
"Mr. Jiang, it is also a problem for these young people to be around you. Over time, if you feel grateful, you will inevitably be in trouble."
This sentence seemed to flow into Jiang Feng's heart like a sweet spring, and it was extremely refreshing. My thoughts were already thought of and I said:
"After I go down the mountain tomorrow, these people will draw out the best ten people who will follow me down the mountain, and rotate every month."
The old officer named Zhang on the opposite side had a smile on his face, and he clasped his fists and said:
"Mr. Jiang is very considerate. Also, these more than a hundred men still have a name. Although they are servants of the adults, it is convenient to have a name after all."
Jiang Feng whispered a few words in his mouth, "I wish to become an iron army" and "slaves", patted his forehead, and spoke loudly:
"Called as 'Titdin'"
After saying that, he also laughed. The old officer there was just stunned for a moment, and without further ado, he walked down.
After walking around the dozen families in Wulou Village, I found that these families are quite different from those in the capital. The daily necessities at home are relatively simple, but each family has more than one set of bows and arrows, and there are also some military weapons. Compared with this, this is the ecology of military households.
By the way, these bows and arrows were provided by Jiang Feng. When the "Tiddings" outside surrounded Jiang Feng to see the muskets they made, the atmosphere was much lively. After all, it was a small workshop of more than 100 people and they were all craftsmen. The range of the muskets created was much worse than the original Franchise machine, but it was quite surprising to be able to make them.
Because Jiang Feng said that he was building a weapon for personal use that day, more than a dozen people didn't know that out of their minds, they made the pipes of the musket thicker, but not fired projectiles, but iron sand wrapped in paper. They explained that their hands were unstable and had no accurate head at all, and they were not far away, which was just thirty-four steps.
At night, when Jiang Feng, Zhang Liang, Tiedan, Yang Da and the old officer gathered together to drink, Jiang Feng was already in great mood. Among these people, Jiang Feng was young, but his identity was the first among these people. Although he didn't know that Jiang Feng was depressed when he came, he was now smiling. But naturally the leader was happy. Everyone was having fun. When the wine was full, Jiang Feng suddenly asked:
"How about the night defense in Wulou Village?"
Several people looked at each other and thought that this was Jiang Feng's preparation for the school entrance examination. The old officer spoke first:
"Now everyone in Tiedingzhong takes turns to patrol around the Zhuangzi every two hours, and the secret whistle at the foot of the mountain lasts for three hours, and can take care of them completely."
Yang Da took a sip of wine next to him and said with a smile:
"Every night when I close the village door, I always put a bow in the corner. Except for the people here, if I don't follow the rules, I will definitely be shot in the front..."
Naturally, there is no nightlife in this villa. Everyone went to bed early, and most people in Wulou Village fell asleep.
Late at night, Wulou Village was completely silent, the moon was about to set, and suddenly, there was a heart-wrenching howl:
"Ah~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!"
