The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions
Chapter 573: Plum Birthmark【Two in One】
Prince Yizhong’s “national funeral” treatment was still a little short of shortcomings, not to mention three months of high standards, even the 27 days of the reduced version.
The emperor directly ordered him a ‘first seven’, and after a count, it just ended on the day when Liu Xianglian got married, and it would not affect the original wedding plan.
When San Jie You learned of this, she naturally prayed for God's pleasure in worshipping the Buddha.
However, Liu Xianglian was not happy about it. Instead, she came to the door and talked about the reason why the Huns are home when they are not destroyed.
In short, this fellow just wants to follow Sun Shaozong to quell the rebellion!
It's not just him. After the news spread, Xue Pan and Feng Ziying's people came to the door one after another, clamoring to throw pens for the Rong, although they hadn't moved their pens a few times.
On the contrary, it is the officers and soldiers of the fourth battalion in Beijing, who are quite indifferent to this matter. If they rely solely on self-consciousness, I am afraid that they may not be able to recruit 500 people.
It's nothing more than going with the army. In addition to wanting to fight for merit, who is willing to take the risk of being a pawn?
Fortunately, Sun Shaozong didn't need to worry too much about the wages and salaries of soldiers and horses.
The imperial court has clearly issued a decree and is preparing to transfer 400 elites from the Huben camp, 300 people from the patrol battalion and the city defense battalion, plus the five hundred soldiers and horses from the Shenji battalion, for a total of 1,500 people, as the army Pioneers entered the Wuxi barbarians.
In fact, if you change to weekdays, even if you have to select elites, it is enough to select from one of the battalions. However, the situation in Beijing is delicate now, who dares to break the balance indiscriminately?
Reluctantly, I had to draw from various places to form such a hodgepodge.
And these soldiers and horses seem to be more than double what Sun Shaozong requested, but how effective can the firearms battalion be when fighting in the damp mountain forest?
What's more, the Ministry of Defense also specifically stipulates that once the cumulative battle damage exceeds 20% of the total force, this so-called vanguard must be transferred to the local sequence and stationed in nearby counties.
Obviously, the few tycoons in the DPRK did not expect at all that Sun Shaozong would be able to bring such a small amount of soldiers and horses to solve tens of thousands of barbarians once and for all.
The reason why he was sent to lead the army was first of all because of cost-effective considerations. The court has no surplus in these years.
Secondly, I really want to take advantage of Sun Shaozong's martial arts to give Wuxi barbarians a prestige to prevent chaos from spreading.
And setting the limit of the cumulative battle loss ratio is to ensure that Sun Shaozong turns offensive to defensive on the spot after making the first three tricks, or after a small setback, and relying on the county town to continue to curb the expansion of the Wuxi barbarians .
By then, this firearms camp will naturally have a place to be used.
In short, as long as the morale of the people in Huguang can be stabilized, Sun Shaozong will be considered worthy of his trip until the imperial court vacates its hands to send troops to go in for suppression, or set conditions for recruiting security.
Gee~
This feeling of being underestimated is really unpleasantly tight!
After thinking about these joints, Sun Shaozong suffocated in his heart. No matter what, we are also traversers with golden fingers. How can the combat effectiveness be inferred by common sense?
And as long as the combat power exceeds common sense, you can casually get involved with ghosts and gods in these years, and use it to deal with superstitious and ignorant mountain barbarians. It can be said to be twice the result with half the effort!
As long as it is adjusted properly, winning more with less may not be a fantasy.
Of course, all things have disadvantages and benefits.
After listening to these analyses, at least the cheapest brother and the concubines in the house were greatly relieved.
The only dissatisfaction is probably only Sister You.
Originally, Sun Shaozong planned to go out of Huguang as a civil official to find an official position such as an observant or patrolling envoy, who can act cheaply.
But now he changed his military post to the army, but according to the imperial system, he could not bring his family.
How can this not let the second sister You be disappointed?
However, Qingwen breathed a sigh of relief.
Talk less gossip.
For several days, Sun Shaozong had been handing over soldiers and horses in various battalions, and was very busy. Fortunately, his elder brother assisted him, but there was no negligence.
This day, I got a lot of free time, and when Xue Pan and others were sent away from the usual door-to-door invitations, Sun Shaozong hurriedly sent for Xu Shouye and Lu Jianxing to discuss the matter.
Xu Shouye had just been promoted to the first level last month, and now he has the status of trying a thousand households from the fifth rank, so Sun Shaozong simply proposed to the Ministry of War that he should be his deputy.
And Lu Jianxing was appointed as the captain of the personal team. Of course, Sun Shaozong's personal team is still in her mother's womb and needs to be selected slowly after leaving Beijing.
After the three of them were seated for the guest and host, seeing Lu Jianxing's **** hanging halfway, he looked a little bit unable to let go.
Sun Shaozong smiled and said: "Today we are our own people. If you have anything to say, feel free to say what you want. As for etiquette, we won't be too late to talk about it when we arrive at the next military meeting."
In the Great Zhou system, the number of soldiers under one hundred households is between 120 and 180.
This time, a total of nine people from 100 households transferred to Sun Shaozong's command, plus Xu Shouye's trial one thousand households, just made up ten fingers.
In fact, according to court practice, these thousand and five hundred people said that they should appoint a participating general or deputy general, and then two or three thousand assistants should be assigned.
However, since Sun Shaozong is going to ‘demotion’ this time, he can only act in a hurry.
And because Sun Shaozong, after all, didn’t really hang around in the army, for fear of making some jokes in front of others, that’s why we have this internal seminar. I hope to straighten out our ideas with Xu Shouye and Lu Jianxing, and then formally convene his generals. Discussion.
But he said that Xu Shouye heard that he wanted to speak freely, but he didn't hide it, and said: "If you want me to say, the court elects you to be the vanguard officer, I really have a good eye and know the people, otherwise I want to rub these arrogant soldiers together. It’s a lot harder than letting them carry their heads to kill others."
The fourth battalion in Beijing has long been grievances, especially recently the Shenji battalion has jumped into the army, which has caused quite a few private fights.
They were at the feet of the emperor, with their blushing faces and thick necks, not to mention going to Huguang where the emperor Tiangao was far away?
If you want to change to an ordinary person, you really may not be able to suppress these arrogant soldiers.
That is, Sun Shaozong, not only his personal martial arts, is the best in Beijing
, And have a close relationship with all aspects.
The patrol camp came from his own old family; Shenjiying was even transferred from the hands of his elder brother; as for Huben camp, who didn't know that Qiu Ying valued Sun Shaozong the most, and even gave him his only son for training?
And if these three forces are eliminated, the remaining patrol camps will naturally be left alone.
Sun Shaozong naturally understood these minor details a long time ago, so he only slightly nodded his head and turned his attention to Lu Jianxing again.
Although Xu Shouye was kind, he was inferior to Lu Jianxing in terms of ability.
Therefore, Sun Shaozong called the two over this time, in fact, he even wanted to hear Lu Jianxing's thoughts.
"grown ups."
Lu Jianxing subconsciously got up and clasped his fists. When Sun Shaozong raised his hand to indicate, he sat back in disbelief, saying uncomfortably: "In the view of the humble duty, we are both marching into the mountains and suppressing bandits. The morale of this army is still second, and the most important thing is right now. Yes, first look for a few guides who are familiar with the local customs."
"Otherwise, no matter how brave we are, it will be difficult to use it in any mountain."
This is much more nutritious than Xu Shouye's words.
However, Sun Shaozong had already thought of this, and nodded immediately: "Lu Baihu's words coincided with me. When the prelude to the army was correct, I asked the Ministry of War to come forward and look for a guide who is familiar with the local situation. ."
"Now the language of the Ministry of War has been rushed to Huguang for 600 li. I must wait for our troops to arrive, the local government is already ready to stop."
After that, the three discussed the marching route, which prefecture and county to camp in Huguang, and where to supply supplies and so on.
I was talking about soldiers on the paper, and suddenly I saw the concierge coming in to report that there was a general banner of Beizhen Fusi who was asking for a meeting outside the door.
The general banner of Beizhen Fusi?
Since I went to the imperial palace to hang filial piety two days ago, I met Chen Xingzhi, Zhao Jiayi and others in charge. Sun Shaozong has not paid attention to the news of Fusi Beizhen for several days.
Could something happen to Beizhen Fusi again...
This is really unstoppable!
But all came, and he couldn't keep the door behind, so Sun Shaozong ordered the concierge to invite the man into the living room.
When the man arrived in a hurry, Sun Shaozong discovered that he was actually an acquaintance, Wang Zhen, who was not a eunuch, but was confused as a dragon guard.
I saw this Wang Zhen stepping forward on one knee, and said loudly: "Humble job Wang Zhen, I have seen a thousand adults!"
"Get up."
Sun Shaozong Xu raised his hand and asked smoothly, "You have come to see the official, but what is the Lord Zhenfu going to explain?"
But Wang Zhen didn't get up, but clasped his fists and clasped his hands: "Return to your lord, the humble post is not here for official duties, but wants to ask himself to go with the army!"
Got~
Feelings are here again!
That's right, this seems to be a militant in serious history, otherwise, he would not try to encourage the emperor to impose a personal conquest and bring about the transformation of the civil castle.
But then again, this fellow is very exciting, and martial arts is pretty decent, and it won't be delayed if it is transferred.
Therefore, Sun Shaozong said: "Since you intend to kill thieves for the country, you can apply for a transfer order from the above. Presumably, Master Zhenfu will not stop you from being a boxer."
"grown ups."
Unexpectedly, Wang Zhen complained repeatedly: "Three days ago, I heard that the adult was going south to quell the rebellion, so he submitted an application for a transfer order. In a few days, I haven't been to the Yamen to deal with official affairs."
Lu Hui hasn't worked for several days?
Could it be that after entering the palace that day, he never came back? !
Is it to deal with Prince Yizhong's follow-up hands, or are they also involved and convicted?
Considering Dai Quan's lonely look when he entered the palace that day, it seems that the latter is much more likely than the former.
Gee~
I also don’t know what prince Yizhong has made. He actually gave a pot of things to the people outside the palace of Fusi Palace in Beizhen!
Wouldn't it really be like his babbles, soaring in the face of the emperor in daylight?
This absurd thought flashed in his mind, but Sun Shaozong said in his mouth: "Since Master Zhencai is dispatched, it is worth it, I will go on my behalf, and ask the Ministry of War to transfer you. It's just that the soldiers are fierce and dangerous. If you just want to confuse A pious and rich man, but he made the wrong calculation."
"My lord, don't worry!"
When Wang Zhen heard the drama, he patted his chest and said: "The villain only wants to follow the adults and kill those barbarians who are unruly and shameless!"
This is still a radical nationalist.
Seeing that his affairs had been finalized, Sun Shaozong was about to serve tea to see off the guests. Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhongji looked for him again, saying that it was Yang Licai who was begging to see him outside.
Okay~
Here comes another hundred households from Beizhen Fusi.
Yang Licai didn't come to ask for the battle too, right?
But he said that Sun Shaozong said ‘please come in’, and it was not long before Yang Licai arrived in a hurry. He crossed the threshold and was waiting to bow his hand to bow, but suddenly saw Wang Zhen who was half-kneeling on the ground.
Wang Zhen hurriedly bowed to the salute.
Although Yang Licai had some doubts as to how his newly promoted subordinate would appear at Sun Shaozong's mansion, he didn't care much about it when he thought that he was responsible for important official duties.
With only a slight nod to Wang Zhen, he said to Sun Shaozong: "Sir, thousands of adults, I have to report to you if I have confidential official duties in my humble position."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Jianxing stood up and asked Sun Shaozong to resign.
Xu Shouye and Wang Zhen were slow for a while, but they were also busy following them.
So in a blink of an eye, only Sun Shaozong and Yang Licai were left in the hall.
It's so troublesome, there are still a lot of things that I haven't discussed!
Sun Shaozong was a little unhappy. After all, he had already put all his energy on the matter of countering the rebellion in the south. He didn't care much about Beizhen Fusi's troubles.
What's more, what secrets are involved!
Thinking about Dai Quan and Lu Hui, they may have been stumbling. He really avoided the word ‘secret’ for fear.
Therefore, before Yang Li could speak, he said first: "You also know that this officer is about to go on an expedition. The Beizhen Fusi's errands will not be taken care of for a while. Although the Zhenfu lord is not here, Chen Qianhu can wait people……"
"grown ups!"
Before Sun Shaozong finished speaking, Yang Licai smiled bitterly: "It's not a humble job that deliberately made trouble for you. It really involves a lot of this matter, and you and Lord Zhenfu handled it together. Now Lord Zhenfu hasn't shown up for several days. Naturally, the humble job can only report to you."
Did you manage it with Lu Hui?
Sun Shaozong thought for a while and immediately blurted out and asked, "But what progress has been made in the White Lotus Sect?"
"exactly."
Yang Licai nodded and said: "The people at the low rank and others have tortured Ge Zhe for several days~lightnovelpub.net~ finally opened his mouth and asked how to distinguish the true body of the reincarnated demon girl."
When it heard that this was the case, Sun Shaozong felt a little relieved as long as it had nothing to do with Prince Yizhong!
Immediately, he couldn't help but be curious, and urged Yang Licai to quickly explain the method of identifying the Saint White Lotus.
"Actually, it's simple."
Yang Licai stroked his stomach and said, "Near the belly button of the reincarnated demon girl, there is a plum blossom mark the size of a quail egg."
Sure enough, it is recognized by physical characteristics!
but……
Since she is the reincarnated saint of the White Lotus Sect, she should have a lotus birthmark, right?
Sun Shaozong was maligning, but suddenly there was a flash of light in his mind, and his expression became strange and uncontrollable. The plum birthmark near the belly button seemed to have been seen by someone!
