Spies from all over the country have returned to Wuxian County, Suzhou one after another. In addition to more than a hundred people from Huguang Province, Da Kui already has enough manpower. These people need to be carefully selected and refined. Da Kui does not want to worry about their safety every time. Da Kui There used to be a barracks built next to his mansion. Now there are more than 800 people who have returned here. The barracks is small and needs to be streamlined.
One early morning, Dakui arrived at the barracks, followed by Wu Ya.
The barracks were full of spies who came from all directions. They were a little lazy after being used to wandering around in the market. However, Da Kui didn't mind at all and ordered Wu Ya to call them all to the school ground. This school ground used to be just a threshing floor for Nuo University. It was Da Kui. It was bought from a local landowner, slightly repaired and a wall was built around it. Together with the barracks buildings, it became a barracks and school ground.
Looking at the lazy crowd, Dakui had a smile on his lips.
"Brothers are tired. After coming all the way back, I called you to the school field without letting you have a good rest. It's Zhang's fault," Dakui sighed, looking like he had done something wrong.
"Hahaha, Mr. Zhang only needs us to have a full meal. It would be best if we have wine and meat," a soldier said loudly, because these people used to be soldiers, and now they have changed when they returned to the camp. Put on soldier's clothes.
"Wine and meat are nothing to talk about. Haha, no matter how poor I am, I still have to treat you to this meal," Dakui said with a smile on his face and a kind look on his face.
All the soldiers were overjoyed when they heard this. If you know that being a leading soldier can have wine and meat, it will be a life like a fairy.
Da Kui raised his hand, and the crowd slowly calmed down. Da Kui then said with a straight face: "But I am not very rich after all. If I had more money, I wouldn't be able to survive until now, ah, hahahaha," as soon as this sentence came out , and there was a burst of laughter all the time. These people were scattered all over the south of the Yangtze River, with the purpose of detecting the misdeeds of corrupt officials. Da Kui said that he did not have much money, but he was being reasonable and even more joking.
After a pause, Dakui said: "In addition to my salary since I took office, I have received a large amount of gold and silver as a reward due to the love of the emperor. How can I support you thousands and hundreds of people?" Dakui said after a pause: "But I have always recognized the importance of heroes. Heroes can keep heroes as retainers, but they don’t want bears.”
As soon as Dakui finished speaking, the crowd in front of him couldn't help but burst into noise.
Dakui continued in a cold voice: "As a junior official of the Third Grade Hall, in order to avoid the Emperor's suspicion, I plan to cut off the bodyguards. You are all here." This sentence is like throwing a big stone in the calm water, and the crowd The discussion among them was even more lively.
A soldier stood up and asked loudly: "Master Zhang, you don't want us anymore, where are we going?"
Dakui smiled and said: "Of course you will go back to where you came from." After a pause, Dakui said again: "But don't worry, everyone, I will keep 300 of you as my personal bodyguards."
The soldier asked again: "Mr. Zhang, which of us do you want to stay?" Obviously, the soldiers were unwilling to leave. Once they returned to the army, they would face them serving on the battlefield, wrapped in horse leather. There was no need to go to the battlefield here, and they had to eat Don't worry about wearing it, who wouldn't want to stay?
Da Kui looked at these soldiers and said: "Those who stay will be given two strings of money as monthly salary for each person. They can eat at least ten meals of meat every month and eat white flour steamed buns every day." This sentence is undoubtedly the Dinghai Shenzhen. No more words.
In the army, soldiers do not have monthly salary. It is good to have a full meal. Eating meat is a luxury. Only generals can afford white flour, steamed buns and white rice, and these soldiers only eat multigrain rice.
In terms of food and drink, this place is undoubtedly heaven; in terms of life and death, the army is undoubtedly hell.
No one wants to leave, and they all hope that Da Kui will keep them here.
Dakui was silent for a moment before speaking up: "I'll give you a chance. If any one of you can seize this opportunity, I will keep him here." No one spoke. Dakui looked around at everyone and then said: "I'm going to Wuxi now. The city is only a mere hundred miles, and the round trip is only about two hundred miles. I have decided that you will start from here and make a round trip to Wuxi City. When you arrive in Wuxi City, someone will send you a token. After you get the token, come back here. Come back first. The three hundred people I want to keep are the ones I want to keep, and the rest must be supervised by the Suzhou government and returned to the army. Of course, I will pay you some travel expenses,"
After Dakui finished speaking, he said to Wu Ya behind him: "Wu Xiaowei, you ride a fast horse to Wuxi City first and wait for them at the south gate of Wuxi City. When you see someone, send a token to everyone and come back after sending it." Wu Ya accepted the order with his hands raised and turned around first to leave the barracks. Horses had been prepared in front of the barracks gate. Wu Ya did not stop after mounting his horse, and rode his horse northward towards the city of Wuxi.
Da Kui looked at the soldiers again with a smile on his face and couldn't help but asked: "Do you want to have lunch before leaving?"
This sentence immediately reminded everyone, and more than 800 soldiers shouted, bypassed Dakui and rushed out of the gate. Dakui shouted behind them: "Remember, this is the south gate of Wuxi City, hehehehe," Dakui shouted. Chang laughed, and when the soldiers heard it from a distance, they ran even faster.
When Da Kui slowly walked out of the barracks yard and onto the road, he saw the dust on the road was flying, and none of the more than 800 soldiers who had already fled were missing. If you want to live a long time, you must first choose the right environment, and secondly, what to follow. People, Dakui decided to train these soldiers into elite soldiers and iron guards. They should train hard at all times and be able to fight as soon as they are pulled out. If you want to train elite soldiers, you must not be merciful. You must let them sweat more than others. The so-called: training Sweat more when fighting, bleed less when fighting.
Now that the weapons have been forged and waiting for these people to develop their skills, Dakui has nothing to worry about.
Dakui rode a horse to Wuxian County, ordered two live pigs and various vegetables, and went to the drug store to grab some decoctions. Then he returned to Zhang Mansion with the farmer who delivered the pigs and vegetables.
He ordered his servants to lead the way to deliver the pigs and vegetables to the barracks. Da Kui immediately went to Meng Ge's room to visit Meng Ge.
At this time, Meng Ge was being served by two servants and two maids. Although he was no longer drowsy, he was still a little confused. Dakui asked the maid, and the maid replied: "Replying to the master, the doctor said that as long as Meng Zhuang's fever subsides, It’s okay then it’s okay,”
When Dakui saw Meng Ge lying on the couch, his lips were dry and he kept talking in sleep. He couldn't help but feel worried. He repeatedly ordered the maid to take good care of him. The servants responded in unison, and Dakui asked the maid to boil the decoction he had caught. , and walked out of the room alone.
Hearing the sound of shouting and breaking the wind in the front yard, Dakui knew that Panbu must be practicing martial arts, but he didn't know how Panbu's martial arts skills were now.
Dakui walked to the front yard and saw Pan Bu holding two swords. He was practicing the Liuhe sword taught by Meng Ge.
Pan Bu used the knife very wisely because he really didn't know how to adapt. Da Kui walked into the yard. When Pan Bu saw him, he put away the knife and came over to greet him. Every time he saw Pan Bu, Da Kui thought of his silly self in the early years, and his honest and crazy nature. Being stupid is two different things. In fact, people have perseverance and perseverance. Although there are some things that cannot be turned around for a while, as long as they figure it out, they will persist in doing things. However, if a person with a quick mind is enterprising and enterprising, his results will be much higher than those of a real person. .
(Don't you see, all the prisoners in the detention center are "social people", and all of them are very smart. If you are not smart, how can you join the society? But even fools know that this kind of place is not for human beings. Who is smart, smart people? If you go into a place like that, these people often call honest people "sb" when they see them. They don't know how smart they are, but they are misled by their cleverness.)
"Pan Bu, your master is ill in bed now. Please spend more time with him when you have time. Practicing martial arts cannot be achieved in a short time. It doesn't matter if you practice for a few days less," Dakui said earnestly.
Pan Bu's eyes were red, and he choked and said: "Father, I want to practice martial arts well to avenge my master."
Dakui nodded and said: "Where there is a will, there is a way. As a father, you will do what you want. The top priority is your master's injury." Dakui paused and said, "I went to see your master just now. I think he is having a fever. "
Pan Bu lowered his head and said, "My master told me when he was sober. He said that my adoptive father's martial arts skills are unparalleled in the martial arts world. If you learn the sword style, you are not as good as him, and if you learn the sword style, he is not as good as you." Pan Bu stretched out his sleeves and wiped it. Tears continued: "Master told me to practice hard and learn more from my adoptive father. He also said...,"
Dakui said coldly: "The top priority is that you have to take good care of your master." When Pan Bu saw Dakui's unkind tone, he immediately shut up and stopped talking.
Dakui sighed and said, "Well, I can't blame you. I'll teach you when your master wakes up and his injuries are gone." Panbu was overjoyed when he heard this, Dakui smiled and said to Panbu: "Although now I can’t teach you, but there are some things you need to remember,”
Pan Bu immediately bowed and cupped his hands and said, "Please give me advice from my adoptive father."
Dakui smiled and said: "No matter what kind of weapon it is, it is an extension of the body. Treat it as a part of the body. If you practice swordsmanship a thousand times, it will just go with you. The integration of man and sword is the highest state."
Pan Bu was stunned when he heard the words, and then he bowed again and said: "I sincerely follow the teachings of my adoptive father." Dakui nodded and said: "If you have nothing to do, please stay with your master. If you need anything, just go to Master Feng to get some money. My father is already here." I've sent someone to Suzhou City to ask for a famous doctor. He may arrive in the afternoon today and ask him to take a good look at your master's injury. If anything happens, go to the barracks and find me." Panbu bowed and accepted the order, and then Dakui left the yard. Front hall.
The messenger was sent to Master Feng, and Da Kui said: "In recent days, the barracks have needed sandbags, stone locks and other items. Could you please Master Feng to prepare them one by one?" Dakui said, detailing the specifications and quantities of the things needed. In addition, Dakui also explained the food specifications of the barracks and the things that needed attention. Master Feng wrote them down one by one, and then left the front hall to start preparations.
Looking at the sky, it was almost noon. Da Kui ordered his servants to kill pigs and cook meat. When he mentioned killing pigs, Da Kui couldn't help but feel sad. Now Meng Ge was seriously injured in bed. If it was a normal job to kill pigs, Meng Ge was Expert.
Da Kui really wanted to see how accurate Meng Ge's sword skills were. Since he was a child, Da Kui had heard the story of Bao Ding undressing a cow. Although he knew about it now, he had never seen it with his own eyes.
Da Kui was very much looking forward to Meng Ge getting well as soon as possible. He didn't want anything to happen to Meng Ge or anyone in the family, even a maid or a stranger on the street.
