Smelting and Exploding the Heavens

Chapter 327 Examining the Ministry

Fan Zhuoyuan inspected the troops of the Fourth Battalion, and the soldiers did not slack off because Fan Zhuoyuan was blind.

There are about [-] members of the Maitreya sect here, all of whom regard Fan Zhuoyuan as the reincarnation of the future Buddha and respect him extremely.

They are the grassroots officers in the army, and they play a leading role in all aspects. Therefore, the whole army maintains a very serious attitude and stands on the school ground to accept the inspection.

Fan Zhuoyuan opened his mouth slightly, letting the wind blow into his throat, using his tongue to sense various flavors, and listening to various movements by his ears.

He couldn't see the strict army, but he could taste other than the smell of sweat, there was no extra extra smell.

This shows that in the past six months of military training, apart from training and performing tasks, the soldiers have not been contaminated with many other bad habits on weekdays.

Listening to the ear, what I heard was everyone's even breathing, and sometimes the heartbeat with nervous worship. There was no noisy sound, not even the slight movement of the soles of the feet on the ground, which was enough to show that the queue was strict and the military discipline was strict. .

The soldiers here all knew Fan Zhuoyuan, so there was no doubt or disdain in such a performance, and there was even a sense of admiration.

Even if Fan Zhuoyuan couldn't see it, with these senses, he knew that the new army was worth using.

Immediately, he taught some words to the new army, and explained that the White Lotus Sect's rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River might be killed along the canal in the near future.

This news was quite shocking, but the entire army only had a change in breathing rhythm and a faster heartbeat, and the team remained strict. No one whispered to each other, and no one moved slightly.

Fan Zhuoyuan ordered the army to prepare in advance to defend against the enemy in order to protect their hometown, and then ordered the disbandment, and called the commanders of the four battalions into the barracks to discuss important matters.

The commanders of the four major battalions are Pang Xu who leads the Long Spear Battalion, Liu Rong who leads the Sword and Shield Battalion, Xiao Jun who leads the Fire Gun Battalion, and Zhou Xu who heads the Pao Battalion.

All four had held important positions in the Qi family's army, and they were disappointed with what the court had done before returning to their hometowns.

Fan Zhuoyuan cupped his hands at the four of them, "Although the blind man can't see, he can rely on his ears to hear, but he can't hear any noises of whispering and footsteps. It can be seen that the team is neat and the four training is very effective. Fan Moutian is the general, I can’t thank you enough.”

The four of them looked at each other proudly, Pang Xu said: "It's really nothing, when Qi Shuai was training in Ji Town, even though it was raining heavily, the soldiers still stood in the camp, and the formation did not disperse, which surprised the troops in the border town.

If Qi Shuai had the extravagance of General Fan back then, my Qi family army would not have been punished by the court for making money. "

Fan Zhuoyuan thought in his heart: The imperial court owes wages every day, and one owes half a year or three years. In later generations, workers who are owed two months' wages will have to labor arbitration.The soldiers just couldn't survive, and they got up and asked for money to survive, but the court dog emperor and civil officials were all dealt with as mutinies, and they were all murdered.Since then, it is no wonder that fewer and fewer soldiers are willing to pledge their allegiance.

Xiao Jun said: "In the past half a year of training, the average person has shot three scrapped blunderbusses. General Fan said that he can replace them immediately. Now the border town in the middle of the court can be so magnificent. If it accumulates through wars, this new army will surely A powerful team rarely seen in the world.”

Zhou Xu from Paoying also nodded and said: "That's right, the surname Zhou has never fired cannons so freely. It is no exaggeration to say that the accuracy of battalion firing is the best in the world."

Fan Zhuoyuan smiled and said: "It seems that you have a lot of confidence in my Yangzhou Japanese army."

Pang Xu of the Long Spear Battalion said disdainfully: "We have experience in dealing with these rioting peasants. We have no other skills except for the large number of people. It is impossible to defeat them by hand-to-hand combat.

With the strength of our army, even 10 peasant troops can easily defeat it. As long as tens of thousands of people don't besiege the city for more than half a year, leading to the exhaustion of food and grass, if we defend the city, we can defend it for as long as we want! "

Fan Zhuoyuan shook his head and said, "I don't want to defend the city."

The four looked at him in surprise, and Pang Xu said: "I already know about the White Lotus Sect. The rebellion of tens of thousands of people running through more than ten state capitals is not small at all. The general, 10 solitary troops, threw themselves into the main battlefield and even splashed water." If you can’t even splash, it’s better not to be impulsive.”

The three of them didn't know that Fan Zhuoyuan was a famous general, they only thought that he was a jianghu man who mistook the battlefield for a jianghu battle, so they painstakingly persuaded him.

Fan Zhuoyuan shook his head and said, "I didn't intend to be the main force to suppress the White Lotus Sect. Three months later, the imperial court will naturally have the main force to come to the south of the Yangtze River. Fight against the power of the White Lotus Sect to sharpen the new army."

The eyes of the four are all bright, but this is acceptable and can achieve the effect of military training.

Fan Zhuoyuan said again: "The four should know that Fan is actually a member of the sect."

The four of them laughed, and still represented by Pang Xu, who was the oldest and most prestigious: "When we were invited by Master Fan, we had inquired about Master Fan's situation.

To be honest, we also thought your church was a cult at first, and we were unwilling to participate, fearing that it would affect our family in the future.But, Master Fan is very good at being a man, the imperial court has named you a general, and what the sect does is all for the benefit of the people at the bottom.

This reminds me of how Qi Shuai once taught us in the past that since we are generals, we should protect the people, how can we learn from those border towns, but instead kill good people and pretend to be meritorious, and do harm to the common people.So after discussing it properly, he agreed. "

Xiao Jun of the Huozhuying said, "I don't think so much like Brother Pang. Master Maitreya Jiaofan rewards me with a generous salary, which is twice my original salary. The money is touching."

The four of them laughed out loud. They came to assist in the military training because of this factor, and the Maitreya Sect did what it said, and there was no salary arrears, and every time the bandits were successfully suppressed, there would be extra rewards, which made people laugh. The four of them simply bought a manor near Yangzhou, thinking that they could settle down at any time. If the Maitreya Sect did not go out of line, then it would be a good thing to let the younger generations of the family join the army.

Fan Zhuoyuan was also very happy, he always knew how to make money, but he knew better how to spend it, at least he spent it well.

"I will live in the army during this period of time, eat and live with the soldiers, and also participate in training by the way. The big battle will start. I can't know the soldiers, and the soldiers don't know the general."

The four of them were a little surprised, Pang Xu said: "General Fan wants to lead the army himself? But your eyes..."

"That's why I need the four of you to be my eyes. In case of battle, you can always inform me of the situation on the battlefield."

The four still had doubts, and Fan Zhuoyuan said again: "I will not intervene in the specific battle command at will. Fan has self-knowledge, but how to march, how to defend, how to deploy defense, and how to attack, I need to make these decisions myself."

Pang Xu said: "Since this is the case, we will respect General Fan's intentions, but if the four of us feel that General Fan's order is reckless, we will do our best to stop the general for the sake of these [-] outstanding children!"
