open sea

Chapter 122
The reward was not given by Chen Mu, it was nothing more than an advance distribution of the court's reward for the results of the battle.

That can only be determined as the distributor, whether he is enough to distinguish between rewards and punishments, it is his trust, but it cannot determine his prestige.

The veterans who were punished were all placed in the wounded soldiers camp. At night, Chen Mu took a few people to visit, and sat and chatted with the wounded soldiers for more than two hours, talking about his experience in fighting like the Xinjiang battle.

The next day, set off!
Putting on the armor that was transferred from Zhouxing, the spirit of the Banner Army immediately changed.

The armor is not a good product. The southeast’s military equipment is already slack. The best armor is closely related to the recruits, then the battalion soldiers, and finally the guards. There are only a dozen pieces of armor with good performance.

There are only a few dozen pieces, most of which are old objects, and even five pieces are made in the early Ming Dynasty.

Leather armor is not bad, it is not like iron armor, it cannot withstand dozens or hundreds of years of storage.

The cloth armor is a mandarin duck battle jacket, with several thick layers of foam nails, which can also play a protective effect, but in Guangzhou on this day, its biggest effect is not protection but to help the flag army quickly suffer from heat stroke.

Chen Mu rode on the horse with the iron hat on his head and raised his head slightly, watching the flag army with spears and sabers wrapped around their waists eagerly marching sideways, and was very pleased.

Raising his whip, he pointed at the Banner Army and said to the two deputy Qianhu on the left and right: "The benefits of strict military law, the Banner Army is much stronger than before! With such morale, we will definitely be able to garrison in Haojing!"

Deng Zilong squinted at Chen Mu, with teasing meaning in his eyes, the feeling is that he used to go to the battlefield and yelled to let the bird gun team release the "Cuckold and Yellow" Chen Zongqi, now he also knows the benefits of strict military law .

But think about it. Just after being fined for one month, Deng Zilong cupped his hands and said righteously: "Qianhu is right!"

On the contrary, Sun Ao laughed generously, and said to Chen Mu: "Qianhu doesn't know, now is the time when the army's morale is available, and the banner troops from the three hundred households were recruited from Xiangshan. When they heard that today's expedition is to Help the common people and ourselves take back the land occupied by the monk of Liurong Temple, everyone is happy!"

"They are all from the common people in the left and right. Who has never seen temples occupying people's fields and making profits? Only the gentlemen in Guangcheng believe in monk temples. Where do the poor people outside the city have money to honor the Buddha? Believe it, believe it." It is also the pure land white lotus."

Chen Mu chuckled lightly and said, "People can believe in whatever they want, but it doesn't matter if it's a god or a Buddha, it's not enough to occupy the land. This is true for monks, and the same is true for the pagans in Haojing. They have to be snatched back."

Master Chen Jun didn't realize it until he finished speaking. He actually said the word 'heretic'.

Behind the flag army is a large number of Yu Ding who carry agricultural tools on their shoulders. It seems that they are affected by the strict marching formation of the flag army. , as if the farmland they were going to eventually was the battlefield.

"What did Qianhu believe?"

"Same as you." Hearing Sun Ao's question, Chen Mu smiled and said: "Believe in the ancestors, how many times did those gods show their holiness, and how many people have they saved? My ancestors saved thousands of people from the sea of ​​suffering every few years. Belief in God cannot make the people drive away the Yuan army, but our ancestors can!"

Speaking of which, Chen Mu pressed down the iron hat with arrow wounds to block the glare of the sun, raised his horsewhip and rode out, and said with a cheerful smile: "Let's go, drive away the monk occupying the land, and let the people of Xiangshan trust you in the future." !"

Master Tianshi, who was sitting astride behind him and was carrying an iron rod, heard this sentence, raised his hand holding the rein, and silently recited a Buddha's mantra, saying: "Immediately become a Buddha."

After all, a clip of the horse's belly followed the ride.

Chen Mu had no other intentions with the great monk. If he really met a reasonable monk, he would let the great monk argue with him about Buddhism.

He doesn't talk back to the monk, it's a fool to attack the enemy's strengths with his own weaknesses.

Just like Zhou Xing's second request, Xiangshan County wants to be promoted to the mansion, which is not easy to handle, not to mention the higher level, just the counties under the jurisdiction of Xiangshan Mansion in Zhou Xing's imagination, are now at the same level as him Who wants to be ruled by him?

It's okay to help Zhou Xing with a word, it's not difficult at all, but after speaking, there is no guarantee that Chen Mu will not be dragged into the quagmire of fighting for power and profit.

Nearly two years is enough for Chen Mu to find his own position in this era.

With knowledge and experience beyond the times, he returned to the era when Eastern and Western civilizations first came into contact.

To put it in a small way, don't put your limited energy on the premise of making yourself live well to feed the people.

Don't promote social progress and technological development, don't save Zhaoli for increasing food production, don't use foresight and foresight to try to make compatriots live a prosperous and stable life.

When it gets bigger, it doesn't work for the well-being of the future generations of the nation, and it doesn't work hard for the oriental civilization to stand proudly in the world.

Without improving the best firearms and combat ideas of this era, kick away the dark years of the next three or four hundred years, and avoid bloody massacres in Chixian County, China.

Instead, use his immature political struggle methods to intrigue with officials who have studied the classics and history of Han Chuang for ten years, and the lines are full of conspiracies?

Isn't this mentally handicapped!

Since we know that Shunde County will definitely interfere with it, it is inadvisable to act before the matter is settled.

Now Chen Mu will not rashly go to speak for Zhou Xing, he pointed out a way for Zhou Xing——Who does Jizhuang belong to, and the witnesses and physical evidence must be there; People in Xiangshan County need to be witnessed because of heavy taxes, and people who dare to speak out in the government must be found;

Before the matter is completed, the matter cannot be vented. After the matter is completed, Lord Chen Jun will naturally speak for Magistrate Zhou.

Professional things are left to professional personnel to do.

Chen Mu would not be the first bird to blow the charge before the war started.

To do it, he only needs to be the commander who inspects the battlefield after victory!

Mr. Chen Jun still has two broken iron cannons engraved with the restoration of Qianhu in Shunde, which is enough evidence of the relaxed atmosphere in Shunde.

This is a war.

On the cliff highlands, Chen Mu raised his eyes and looked at the surrounding fields. The occupied military fields and civilian fields in his hands were mixed. In the golden rice fields, there were figures of Buddhists and monks harvesting fields. The queue of the unit is quickly walking towards the field that is expected to be in charge of it, and each flag is clearly marked.

The monks who urged the Buddhists to harvest did not know that the danger had come quietly. They were also amazed at how these neatly armored guards came here to practice, and some bold and strong monks even drove the guards away.

"Go, go, what are you military masters doing here? Don't step on the fields!"

The banner troops of each department seemed to have never heard of it, some with smiles and some with serious faces, followed the chief into the field from the ridge road, only then did the monk notice the subtle atmosphere.

Suddenly, the first sound of horns was heard from heaven and earth, and the sound of war drums in the mountains sounded.

Baihu Fuyuan was gearing up for the fight. Although the banner army of his headquarters was injured by punishment and died on the battlefield, leaving only more than 30 troops left, Shi Qi was transferred to join him in the battle, and he showed no fear at all. Qi smiled and said: "These grain thieves are so courageous, they even dare to steal the grain grown by the guards of my Xiangshanwei, what are they still doing - these people won't let you eat, just watch!"

"Kill them all down, take them down!"

Lou Qimai, a hundred households of the Xiangshan Thousand Households Institute, whose face became hideous and terrifying due to the explosion of the gun, sneered, drew out his waist knife and swung it forward, and gave an order to the Zuojin Banner Army: "Qianhu has an order to seize the military field Take all the people in the fields, don't let a grain thief escape!"
