Chapter 81: Imperial commission

When Shen Yanbei woke up the next day, there was a daylight outside the window, and it was three poles above the sun.
Subconsciously touched his hand to the side, it turned out to be empty.
Shen Yanbei covered his eyes with one hand and smiled helplessly.
At this hour, the wife had already gathered together and set off, and he couldn't make it to send him off.
Sighing regretfully, Shen Yanbei brushed up the hair scattered on his forehead.
Forget it, the wife doesn't want him to send him off, so he won't go. He also doesn't like to talk about separation.
It's a pity that I had taken a break today.
The wife was not around, and Shen Yanbei was not in the mood to stay in bed anymore, so he got up and dressed. But as soon as his feet touched the ground, Shen Yanbei's expression changed.
The feet are sour and soft, especially the waist...
"Go to your uncle..." Shen Yanbei couldn't help covering his face. The fire last night burned him so much slag, but the wife is still comfortable!
No, it's shameful! Shen Yanbei gritted his teeth and decided to continue exercising in the future.
Zhou Yu followed Gu Changfeng to the border and no one was at home. After breakfast, Shen Yanbei went to the restaurant to supervise the workers for a while and then went to the suburbs.
The daughter-in-law went to the border to train soldiers and didn't know when he would return. He couldn't be a master stone. He just waited eagerly for his wife to come back. He had a lot to do.
The villagers in the village downstairs saw that Shen Yanbei was coming again and came forward to salute. Shen Yanbei smiled slightly and said that he didn't need to be polite, and went down to the ground accompanied by the village chief.
The germination rate of the pepper seeds is good, and now they have grown small seedlings, and you can see a lot of greenery. The hilly farmhouse organic fertilizer has been fermented to the same extent, the fertilizer is dark, and the pungent smell can faint people.
Shen Yanbei picked up a and taught the villagers how to fertilize and sow deeply: "Spread the fertilizer in strips to no more than three inches in the ground, then cover the soil, and the seeds are sown on it, about an inch away from the ground. The spacing between plants is five Just inches..."
The villagers admired him even more when he saw that he did it personally, not just a linguistic guide on the sidelines.
Shen Yanbei didn't feel good after doing it for a while. I exercised too much last night, and my hands and feet were a little bit awkward. Fortunately, the villagers watched the scorching sun and feared that he would be tired, so they brought the water and let him sit and rest. Shen Yanbei handed the to the others in good faith.
On the official road about a hundred miles north of Shen Yan, the black and heavy soldiers ran forward in unison with their horses hoofs, and the sky was full of noise.
In front of the fast marching team, the strong man sat firmly on the tall horse.
The man wears a Mingguang armor woven from small nail pieces, his complexion is cold and even more mighty. While riding the horse and whip, the wind lifted up the broken black hair on the man's forehead, and a faint pregnant mole was revealed.
The leader of this team is actually a double!
Before the team set off, many soldiers were dissatisfied when they heard that it was a pair of children leading them to the border, and some people even regretted joining the army and wanted to withdraw.
A dazzling pair could not stay in the fragrant girl to drink tea and admire the flowers, and even used the means to take the position of the general and lead them, these recruits, on the expedition. Is this a joke about their lives?
The young generals in the same group were not satisfied with a pair of children pressed on his head. Some of them are the sons of princes, and some have passed the martial arts exams. Regardless of their birth heights, they are all capable people, and they really cannot tolerate being led by a pair of children.
In the face of many voices of doubt, the man did not say much under the eyes of the public. He only held his hand in front of the dissatisfied person and said two words: "Please fight."
When someone pointed a gun to his nose, the young general's face flushed red, and he immediately drew his knife.
In the shadow of the sword, the man was expressionless, and calmly avoided the opponent's attack, but every attack he used was shocking.
One, two, three...
Except for an older general, the other generals were all lying in embarrassment under the man's throat, and they could not fight back.
The onlookers were dumbfounded: "God, did this man have the wrong birth? Except for the pregnant mole between his eyebrows, what is this man like twins?"
The rest of the people agreed: "Yes, this look, this figure, and this force is too terrifying?"
"No wonder you are coming to the army, no one dares to marry such a pair, right?"
Hearing the soldiers' whispers, the man withdrew his face without changing his face, looked down at the young generals on the ground, and said in a solemn voice: "Immediately arrange the respective teams, and Mao Zheng will set off on time. There is no mistake."
"...Yes!" The generals wailed and got up from the ground, calling their troops together, daring not to object. The opponent's sturdy force is already merciful, and even with the emperor's fate, they have to advance and retreat.
The soldiers lined up quickly, and as soon as Maozheng arrived, the man gave an order, and 50,000 recruits set off on the road to the border when their belly was white. These recruits were recruited in counties and counties near Yongjing City. The recruits from other counties were still on the way, but the military situation was urgent. The emperor ordered the men to set off first, and the subsequent recruits were directly escorted to the border by generals in each state and county.
The recruits have not been trained, and their qualities are uneven. They have their own reasons for joining the army. The future of this trip is uncertain, and all of them are thinking of going home. The man temporarily suppressed the new recruit's fear of the unknown with his own powerful force, and the rest could only run in on the road.
The men marching and fighting have no experience. Now that the emperor has handed over 50,000 people to him, how to send as many people as possible to the border is a test for him.
But it’s not difficult to bring people over, but to bring people back. The man clenched the silver gun in his hand and looked forward with a deep and firm gaze.
In the billowing dust, the sun rose higher and higher, and the army moved further and further away from the imperial city.
The man sitting on the horse resisted not looking back, but the thoughts in his heart accumulated more and more over time.
Did the youth wake up? If he ran away secretly, would he be angry?
The man frowned slightly and stretched out.
Probably not, the young man indulged him so much.
Thinking of this, the man's face showed an unnatural red.
I was so profligate last night because I knew the youth would indulge myself, so I asked the youth frantically. Sure enough, the young man didn't say anything, and accompanied him all the time.
At first he would be nervous and shy about that kind of thing, but under the guidance of the youth, he gradually got a little bit of knowledge.
He likes the kind of skin-to-skin, intimate and intimate feelings...
"The son?"
Suddenly someone around him shouted, and the man hurriedly stopped his mind and turned to look at the person who came: "General Li." The person who called him was the only military officer who hadn't made gestures with him before.
"It's noon, can you take a break?" The recruits have not been trained and are not used to long marches, so they have to cycle gradually.
"Pass the order, rest on the spot, and set off in half an hour." The man ordered, and the messenger blew the horn to convey the order to rest.
The whole team stopped, and all the recruits let out a sigh of relief, visible to the naked eye. Everyone rested on the spot, drinking water and eating dry food, but the man did not stop to rest, but kicked the horses with his feet, took the young soldiers, turned around and rode the horses and ran behind the team to inspect.
"Report!" The soldiers of each team straightened up and responded loudly, "A hundred people are there, no one is left behind!"
The man nodded, encouraged a few words and went to the next team. After counting the number of people one by one and confirming that no recruits are left behind or escaping, the man rests assured.
The rest of the young generals were ashamed and admired to see men acting in this way. New recruits are most afraid of deserting because they will cause panic in the military and cause instability in the military. If the weather on the road is not good, the soldiers are infected with the disease, it is difficult for the soldiers to reach their destinations, let alone go to the battlefield.
This action by men can prevent deserters and encourage soldiers, which is cumbersome but effective.
"Master, drink some water." The young soldier handed the water sac to the man. The man took a sip and let the young man rest. He took a silver gun and walked under a tree to take a nap. .
He is strong, but he was too Meng Lang last night, and he felt uncomfortable sitting on the horse for a long time.
The man leaned against the tree trunk, the silver gun was placed on his lap, and his big hand rubbed the barrel of the gun.
This is a new gun. When the young man came to the capital to rush for the exam, he sought out a weapon tailor-made for him by the master who built it. It was extremely handy.
In the near future, this gun will be stained with barbarous blood.
When the hour came, all the recruits were ready to go under the supervision of the commander. The man stood up, leaped on his horse with a silver spear in his hand, and headed 50,000 horses toward the border.
It takes about half a month for the army to reach the border, and it takes a few more days because it is a recruit. During this period of time, everything in Yongjing City was business as usual. People in marriages and funerals, shopping and grocery shopping seemed to have no effect, but Shen Yanbei felt the tension in the court.
There was news from the border that Uso and Longuetu had reached an agreement that the two largest tribes in the steppe would jointly send troops.
After the emperor convened ministers to discuss, the Ministry of War was operating intensively, and the Ministry of Households began to arrange the follow-up grain, grass, and military supplies.
Last year, we vigorously promoted the new method of growing grain production in the south. The yield per mu in various regions has increased to varying degrees. This year, the new season of rice has been planted, and it will be a bumper harvest in July. There is no need to worry about subsequent grains.
Every year the barbarians are offended after the autumn harvest. At that time, the Daqi recruits have been trained, the combatants are ready, and the food and military needs are prepared. Waiting for work will definitely give the barbarian a headache!
Just as both the central government and the central government were preparing for war, an accident happened.
There was an earthquake in Liuyang County and the situation was very tragic. Letter from King Jinyang, weeping how miserable Liuyang County is after the earthquake: houses collapsed, land collapsed, hundreds of people were buried under rubble, devastated, mourned everywhere, because of heartache, thousands of people were displaced, hungry, cold, and without food, so I asked for a letter. The court helped.
To deal with famines, the imperial court has always done it to allocate funds for disaster relief.
Zhao Yu received a letter from the dark guard confirming that the disaster situation in Liuyang County was indeed serious, and agreed to allocate one hundred thousand taels of silver to Liuyang County. But who will send the money for disaster relief to ensure that it will not collude with King Jinyang to corrupt the money, and that it can be used for the people?
For those who are eager to climb up, this is an opportunity to get ahead, but this errand is not a good job, and it is very likely to be thankless, especially in the territory of King Jinyang, where up and down resistance is difficult to impose.
The Minister of Korea and China nominated candidates, but some also requested orders.
Zhao Yu thought about it again and again, and ordered a person as an imperial envoy.
There is no doubt that the most suitable candidate is Shen Yanbei.
