The Nancheng Military Camp is diagonally opposite the south gate of Jinan, covering an area of about 20 acres. It is close to the slums on the southwest side of Jinan City. It is only less than a mile away from the place where Liu Ruyi attacked Chengjia and his son.
This place is close to Nanshan, the terrain is relatively high, and the roads are extremely difficult to travel. Back then, when the mining area in central and southern Shandong was prosperous, this place was once prosperous. However, in recent years, the mining area has declined, coupled with constant natural and man-made disasters, there have been fewer and fewer merchants passing by.
, there is no oil or water at all.
It turned out that when Yang Yibin of Qianhu was there, he could still create a clever name and instruct his minions to search the money of some passing people nearby. However, with his fall from power, his officials were too frightened to do anything. As a result, Nancheng
The military camp became increasingly dilapidated and gradually disappeared from people's sight.
At present, the chief of the Nancheng Military Camp is called Yang Qian, who is also the Deputy Qianhu affiliated to the Acropolis. He is Yang Yibin's family, and after all, he is Yang Yibin's uncle. However, unlike Yang Yibin, Yang Qian is already fifty-eight this year.
, he is also very gentle-tempered on weekdays and is known far and wide as a good old man. After Yang Yibin's accident, he took charge of the eight or nine hundred soldiers in the Nancheng military camp.
Relying on the popularity he had accumulated in his daily life, Yang Qian could barely keep these soldiers in awe. He only had to wait for the new General Manager Qian to take over! Normally, Yang Qian could be regarded as one of the most popular in the army.
But now, as the day for the new CEO Liu Ruyi to take office is approaching, one thing makes him extremely uneasy, making it difficult for him to sleep or eat well.
"Zhuzi, when will the new Liu Qianhu come?" Yang Qian grabbed a soldier and asked in a low voice.
"Sir, I heard that they set off this morning. I guess they can get here by late at the latest!" The soldier didn't know what the new Liu Qianhu's temper was, so he was uneasy and had to report the news he knew to
Yang Qian.
Yang Qian frowned when he heard this. He pulled the soldier and asked, "Didn't he say he would arrive tomorrow? Why did he come today? Zhuzi, is this news accurate?"
The soldier was stunned and hurriedly explained: "Sir, this is the news just returned from the brothers who went to meet him. It can't be wrong! Let's prepare carefully to meet that master!"
Yang Qian nodded, and then said to the soldier: "You go out first! Inform the brothers to get ready, and all of you should brace yourself, don't embarrass me!"
"Yes!" The soldier quickly turned around and left.
Seeing the soldiers walking away, Yang Qian jumped up from his seat and slapped his forehead with both hands, "How can this be a good thing? How can this be a good thing?"
…………
In the evening, after a whole day's trek, Liu Ruyi and more than 400 brothers finally arrived outside the south gate of Jinan City.
After all, marching and fighting is different from the past back and forth. Not only does it have to carry a lot of food and supplies, but the number of people has increased dozens of times. Moreover, Liu Ruyi only has cavalry No. 50 or 60, and he can travel fifty miles a day. He has only practiced a few of these.
For the new recruits, this is already the limit!
"Sir, shall we camp outside the city, shall we?" Zhao Canghai asked in a low voice.
To be honest, Liu Ruyi has never led so many people in his entire life, and he has no experience at all. Fortunately, Zhao Canghai is from the army and knows some details better, and explained a lot to Liu Ruyi along the way.
Only then did Liu Ruyi have a little idea.
Liu Ruyi thought for a moment, "Give the mules and horses some dry food and water. Let's go directly to the Nancheng camp to rest today!"
There are more than a hundred mules and horses in Caishi Town. Most of them were obtained by Liu Ruyi when he followed Deputy Wang Qianhu to kill the bandits Yu Lao'er. Some of them were given to Liu Ruyi by the Liu family in Jinan due to personal relationships.
, this time, Liu Ruyi pulled them all out.
Don't underestimate these mules and horses. Marching and fighting, transporting food and weapons, and transporting weapons all depend on them!
The current market price of a mule and horse in the Ming Dynasty has risen to nearly twenty taels of silver. If exchanged in equal proportions, in future generations, a van that can carry goods and people and has excellent cost performance will not be as good as the current one.
Mules and horses are precious!
These animals are all Liu Ruyi's treasures! After all, although the number of people fighting is not absolute, if you can free up one manpower, you can add a little more combat power. Liu Ruyi only has so much capital at the moment, so this account must be calculated carefully.
!
After resting for a while and feeding the mules and horses some fodder, a group of petty bureaucrats in full uniform came staggering out of the city. The leader was Deputy Qianhu Yang Qian.
In fact, they had been watching at the city gate for a long time. Seeing that Liu Ruyi had no intention of setting up camp outside the city, Yang Qian gritted his teeth and then ordered his men to come out.
After all, Liu Ruyi is his immediate boss. If he neglects him at this moment, he will not be able to explain it no matter what he says!
"Your Majesty, Yang Qian, has met Mr. Qianhu!"
Liu Ruyi was wearing a brand new Qianhu official robe and was surrounded by officers. It was very eye-catching. Yang Qian hurriedly ran to Liu Ruyi, knelt down on one knee and saluted respectfully.
"Brother Yang, you don't have to be polite, we are all one family! Please get up quickly!" Liu Ruyi smiled and stretched out her hand to help Yang Qian up.
"Thank you, Lord Qianhu! Thank you, Lord Qianhu!" Yang Qian said with a smile on his face.
Although Yang Qian was much older than Liu Ruyi's father Liu Hu, Liu Ruyi's "brother" was very natural, and Yang Qian did not feel any discomfort at all and accepted it calmly!
This may be one of the charms of power!
After chatting for a moment, Yang Qianqian smiled and said: "Master Qianhu, the official has prepared a banquet in the camp, shall we..."
In the officialdom, face is the most important thing when greeting or sending off. Yang Qian and Liu Ruyi have also heard of him. Although they don't know much about him, they have also heard of his reputation.
Liu Ruyi did not criticize such a good old man too much and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Yang! Let's go to the camp first and then talk!"
"Master Qianhu, please come first! Please!" Yang Qian's face relaxed, his throat raised and his heart in his stomach.
Isn't this young man ignorant? I just hope that this matter can be over so easily!
…………
The banquet was not sumptuous, there was no meat or dishes at all, and it looked a bit shabby. Liu Ruyi didn't take it seriously, and it was okay to deal with it in a friendly manner!
After driving for a day, Liu Ruyi and his officers were very tired, but Yang Qian was also very sensible and did not bother much, so everyone took a rest early!
A night without words!
Early on the next morning, Liu Ruyi stood on the high martial arts stage in the Nancheng military camp.
Zuo Liangyu's tribe is currently stationed near Nanyang, Henan, which is nearly a thousand miles away from Jinan City. However, the transfer order from the Ministry of War only gave Liu Ruyi one month. Calculated this way, even if he travels fifty miles a day, he still needs twenty
Only genius can arrive.
Although Zuo Liangyu doesn't have a good reputation, in the current Ming Dynasty, he can barely be regarded as a capable person. He has many people under his command. Liu Ruyi doesn't want to be caught by him in this kind of thing!
"Master Qianhu, everyone is here!" Yang Qian quickly stepped onto the stage and reported to Liu Ruyi in a low voice.
Liu Ruyi nodded and looked towards the audience!
Ten people can form a group, but there are more than a thousand people under the stage at the moment. At a glance, it seems that there is no edge at all, and it is a huge black area!
However, except for the 400 strong men in Liu Ruyi's headquarters, although the number of soldiers in the Nancheng military camp was quite large, most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled. Liu Ruyi did some mental calculations and found out that among them
There are only about four to five hundred young people, less than half of them, and most of the rest are just hanging around.
"These are my soldiers!" Liu Ruyi let out a long sigh of relief.
Yang Qian looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer the call. He could also see that the young man in front of him was not a simple man! The 400 soldiers alone were all strong and strong, with strong bodies and rosy complexions. They were absolutely
He is no longer on the same level as these miscellaneous troops under his own command!
'No matter! I never expected a happy ending! Although these soldiers are not very good, mosquito meat is also meat! Since they chose this path, they thought that this day would come!'
Thinking of this, Liu Ruyi straightened up and said loudly: "Brothers! This is Liu Ruyi, the new Nancheng guard Qianhu! You must have known about it! The court has issued an order, and we are going to Henan to suppress the bandits now! Brothers
They are all good men, and I don’t talk nonsense! Let’s leave now and give each person 2 taels of housing allowance. I will pay for this money myself!”
"Wow!" There was a roar in the audience.
"Lord Liu is wise!"
"I am willing to die for Lord Liu!"
Although these soldiers already knew their fate, they all cheered when they heard that the new Master Liu would distribute 2 taels of housing allowance!
Although two taels of silver is not much, for the rich and powerful, it is not enough to eat a plate of snacks! But for these hard-working soldiers, two taels of silver is enough for a family to live for the first half of the year. If they save more, they will not be able to survive.
It was not impossible last year!
A dozen soldiers carried several large boxes filled with silver and placed them under the stage. Liu Ruyi walked down the stage with a smile and distributed the silver to each soldier one by one with his own hands.
Although Yang Qian didn't understand, Liu Ruyi was his immediate boss after all. He didn't dare to say anything and just stayed by his side cautiously.
After all the money was distributed, it was almost noon. Liu Ruyi walked back to the high platform and said to Yang Qian with a smile: "Brother Yang, we are going to go on an expedition in the afternoon. Go and get the weapons and food from the brothers!"
Although Yang Qian is deputy Qianhu, he is old and does not need to accompany Liu Ruyi on the expedition. Instead, he has to stay and guard the south gate of Jinan City!
"Big, big, sir, this..." After hearing Liu Ruyi's words, Yang Qianlao's face flushed red, and the sweat on his forehead was like raindrops, which couldn't stop dripping outward.
"Well? You don't want to?" Liu Ruyi's tone turned cold!
"My lord! No, no, that's not the case!"
Yang Qian plopped down on his knees in front of Liu Ruyi, and said tremblingly: "Sir, your brothers' weapons and armors have been taken away!"
"What?"
Liu Ruyi was furious, grabbed the collar of his chest, lifted him up in the air, and yelled: "You fucking tell me that again?"
