Chapter 44 Entering the city and misunderstanding
After Dong Zunhui returned to the camp in Jianshui, he did not withdraw his troops immediately. Although the first battalion had only been stationed in Jianshui for half a month, he also saved up a lot of property. The newly renovated barracks, the newly built inn, the dozens of acres of vegetable fields that had just been reclaimed by the camp in Jianshui, and the tall water truck. These are all money, how can you give up easily?
Even if Wang Lingwen sent people to attack this easy-to-defense and difficult-to-attack camp, as long as the defenders are careful to defend, the defenders can hold on for a period of time, and the camp is built close to the Jianshui River. If the defenders are unable to defend, they can still use small boats to evacuate from the Jianshui River. Anyway, ten new small boats have been built in the camp, and transportation is not forbidden.
Therefore, Dong Zunhui did not intend to give up the camp, and the first battalion's troops are now very sufficient. A few days ago, two hundred new soldiers were recruited from northern refugees, and the troops have been expanded to more than 700. Leaving the 200 people in the baggage and public security capital does not affect the combat effectiveness of the troops.
It just so happened that Yang Guangyi also led more than ten wademen to return to the camp with Dong Zunhui. Dong Zunhui appointed Yang Guangyi as the head of the public security capital. With the honest assistance of the head of the supplies capital, he unified the command of the public security capital, the baggage capital, and left behind the Jianshui camp.
Apart from the public security capital and the supplies capital, the remaining three capitals of the first battalion, together with the two newly expanded recruits who have been newly expanded these days, will enter the city together under the command of Dong Zunhui. All 300 regular soldiers in the battalion were equipped with leather armor, 250 of them were equipped with swords and guns, and another fifty soldiers formed a archery team and used crossbows. They were all specially selected by Dong Zunhui. They were hunters before joining the army and had good archery skills. Although the recruits did not have armor, they were all equipped with red tassel spears. Besides, they could escape from the Khitan cavalry alive, and they were very physically compatible, and even if they only had long spears, they had certain combat power.
The next afternoon, after Dong Zunhui arranged the camp in the river, he led the 500 people to Suizhou City. At this time, Zhao Kuangyin had woken up, and under Liu Han's careful care, his injuries were effectively controlled. Dong Zongben promoted him to the battalion commander of the first battalion.
Dong Zunhui thought that it was better to resolve the enemy than to get a knot, so he took his things to visit. However, looking at the indifference in Zhao Kuangyin's eyes, Dong Zunhui knew that the last time he dealt with him really offended Zhao Kuangyin. However, since Dong Zunhui had already untied his knot, no matter how bad Zhao Kuangyin was in his attitude towards him, Dong Zunhui no longer cared about it. After a few casual conversations, Dong Zunhui said goodbye and left.
Zhao Kuangyin looked at Dong Zunhui and left without trying to keep him. He felt awkward. Zhao Kuangyin is still a young man with a bad temper, and he was still thinking about revenge. He thought that he could only become a commander and avenge him. He didn't expect that the boss behind the Fuwang Gambling House was Dong Zunhui, the son of the governor. In this way, the shame of being beaten in public would be difficult to remove. Therefore, he had no good face to Dong Zunhui. However, after all, he would visit him with something when he returned to the city. Zhao Kuangyin's hatred for Dong Zunhui was a little less, but Zhao Kuangyin became more and more disgusted with Wang Zhengzhong and others, especially Liu Fengshou, who kicked his crotch.
That afternoon, after visiting Zhao Kuangyin, Dong Zunhui commanded his troops to station in the original camp of the first battalion, clean up and clean up the barracks. Soon it was time for dinner. The first battalion was still the same rule, and the officers and soldiers all ate big pots of vegetables, and the rice was full of clean corn. When the water was opened, it smelled so good, making saliva all over the second battalion, which ate moldy rice every day.
Although it was in the city, the first battalion did not relax and carried out training as usual, and arranged night patrol soldiers. The soldiers acted collectively according to their respective units and were uniform.
Zhao Kuangyin has not officially taken office due to injury. At this time, the Second Battalion was like a group of free-range lambs, with no order. They hid behind the fence, cracking melon seeds, and watching the soldiers of the first battalion conduct daily training.
Soon, the soldiers of the Second Battalion grew up, and even they didn't know when the melon seeds in their hands fell to the ground. Oh my God, with such a great training intensity, are these people in the First Battalion sick? Especially the guy who was struggling on the training ground, wiping mud and revealing his face, it was the battalion commander Dong Zunhui!
Not only the soldiers of the Second Battalion were shocked, but even the officers of the Second Battalion were shocked. The battalion commander actually took out training in person. Everyone subconsciously looked for the figure of the governor around, but after searching for a long time, they didn't find it. Could it be that Dong Zunhui, the commander of the battalion, was not performing in front of the governor, but actually participating in training? Is this possible? In the past, except for rolling up his sleeves in front of the governor, he would perform in the rest of his time. He hugged the beautiful woman and exercised in the camp, and rarely came to the training ground. Why did Dong Zunhui work so hard?
While everyone was surprised, Zhao Kuangyin also came to the camp with a spear. His reputation for killing nine people the day before yesterday had already spread throughout the second battalion. When the soldiers saw Zhao Kuangyin coming here, they quickly gathered and waited for the order. Listening to the shocking shouts of the officers and soldiers of the first battalion, Zhao Kuangyin was not willing to be outdone and commanded the soldiers to train.
Soon, Dong Zongben led people to the near the camp. After all, Zhao Kuangyin had just taken office, and Dong Zongben was worried that he would not be able to suppress the lazy soldiers and generals in the second camp, so he came to support him. Listening to the shocking shouts in the camp, Dong Zongben smiled with relief. It seemed that he had done the right thing to promote Zhao Kuangyin in the exception. Look, the soldiers were all inspired and were training more than twice!
Dong Zongben then led the people to the camp gate of the second camp. When the soldiers at the camp gate saw the governor coming, they immediately opened the camp gate and lined up to welcome him. Looking at the soldiers lined up neatly, Dong Zongben didn't know that they were taking the opportunity to be lazy, so he raised his hand and signaled happily, just saying "Hello, comrades."
Zhao Kuangyin and others were supervising the training. When they heard the movement from the camp gate, Zhao Kuangyin quickly brought people to greet him. Seeing that it was his immediate boss, Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly bowed: "I will pay my respects to the governor, please forgive me for keeping my armor on my body, and I cannot give it a full tribute."
Dong Zongben quickly helped him up and said with a smile: "The commander is injured, so there is no need to be too polite. I happened to pass by here and came in to observe it on a whim. Not bad, not bad, this spirit is very good. Especially the sound of 'kill!' just now, it is very powerful!"
Although Zhao Kuangyin's face was thick-skinned, his face turned red. One person next to him said, "Report to the governor, that 'kill!' was a shout from the first battalion..."
