Chapter 392 Small group training, big equipment
Before Xu Ning could vent his feelings, Mu Shun came back. At this moment, he led an eight or nine-year-old boy and introduced: "Zhu Tongzhi, this is the little servant who is configured for you. He will take you to the dormitory... Ah, your partner is also waiting for you to have a drink in the dormitory, so the old man will say goodbye now."
Mu Shun stumbled away, and this time he went away and never looked back. He left Xu Ning staring at the boy in front of him helplessly.
The boy had a thick bones, but his hands and feet were not a farmer who worked in the fields, and he looked very white and clean. At first glance, he was a kind of servant who had bought since childhood and trained to be a book boy.
Xu Ning stared at the other party with wide eyes. Although the boy was young, he was not timid at all. He looked at Xu Ning innocently. Xu Ning glared at him for a long time. The other party kept hitting Xu Ning with clear eyes. Finally, Xu Ning said: "I am going to fight this time. Follow me, aren't you afraid?"
The little boy grinned and bowed and replied: "The villain is named Qingfeng. Eight or nine people are studying with Qingfeng. This time everyone is going to Liangzhe Road... The master said that no matter the front line fire is shocking, we are all staying in the tent in the back, and following the chief just to watch the fun, there is no danger."
When Xu Ning saw the other party smart and sensible, he spoke carefully, responded quickly, nodded with satisfaction, no longer tempted with words, and quickly greeted: "I'm so tired, take me to the dormitory, you are talking about this word."
The little boy did not answer, so he bowed and led Xu Ning to the backyard.
In the backyard, a room full of things was piled up in an independent courtyard. Xu Ning was blown up as soon as he saw it: "What's this place? It's messy, can people live?"
Fortunately, Sun Li came out of the room, and he smiled and took over the conversation: "Brother Xu, those brothers have a lot of things, and they all go back first. I will stay to greet Brother Xu...Brother Xu, these are your personal belongings. If you make a regular schedule, you will think it is very suitable. Come on, I will help you."
Xu Ning held his head and looked at the messy yard, moaning: "Why are you a little broken group training? Brother, I have met the chief officer who controls tens of thousands of soldiers in the past, and I have never been so busy."
Sun Li nodded sympathetically: "That is, the imperial guards are working every five days, the wing army is working every month, and the school reading group practices every year. Except for holidays, the gang training here is practicing almost every day... Hehe, after staying for a long time, Brother Xu knew that although this Cuizhuang training is small, there are many troubles, and it is even more cumbersome than serving in the imperial guards."
Speaking of this, Sun Li looked at the piles of miscellaneous items in the room and said, "Just just now, the logistics officer sent you personal belongings. If you are not here, I will sign for them for you. Some of these things can be brought in, and some can be kept at home. Now there is still some time, let's clean up together."
Before he could finish his feelings, Mu Shun came back. He led an eight or nine-year-old boy and introduced: "Tongzheng Xu, this is the little servant who is configured for you. He will take you to the dormitory... Ah, your partner is also waiting for you to have a drink in the dormitory, so the old man will say goodbye now."
Mu Shun stumbled away, and this time he went away and never looked back. He left Xu Ning staring at the boy in front of him helplessly.
The boy had a thick bones, but his hands and feet were not a farmer who worked in the fields, and he looked very white and clean. At first glance, he was a kind of servant who had bought since childhood and trained to be a book boy.

The little boy did not answer, so he bowed and led Xu Ning to the backyard.
In the backyard, a room full of things was piled up in an independent courtyard. Xu Ning was blown up as soon as he saw it: "What's this place? It's messy, can people live?"
Fortunately, Sun Li came out of the room, and he smiled and took over the conversation: "Brother Xu, those brothers have a lot of things, and they all go back first. I will stay to greet Brother Xu...Brother Xu, these are your personal belongings. If you make a regular schedule, you will think it is very suitable. Come on, I will help you."
Xu Ning held his head and looked at the messy yard and moaned: "How come there are so many things in a small group training team? Brother, I have also met the chief officer who controls the soldiers of ten thousand households in the past, and he has never been so busy."
Sun Li nodded sympathetically: "That is, the imperial guards are working every five days, the wing army is working every month, and the school reading group practices every year. The troupe here, except for the holidays every year, practices almost every day... Hehe, after staying for a long time, Brother Xu knew that although this Cuizhuang troupe training is small, there are many rules everywhere, which is even more complicated than serving in the imperial guards."
Speaking of this, Sun Li looked at the piles of miscellaneous items in the room and said, "Just just now, the logistics officer sent you personal belongings. If you are not here, I will sign for them for you. Some of these things can be brought in, and some can be kept at home. Now there is still some time, let's clean up together."
As he said that, Sun Li first pulled over an empty big backpack and flipped it on the ground like a groundhog. He first picked out two white silk underwear from a pile of debris, one piece was stacked and prepared to put it into the backpack, and the other was handed to Xu Ning: "Wear it, this is silk underwear, which is close to the body. It is said that if you wear such underwear, you can easily pull out the arrow if you get hit by an arrow, so each officer gave two sets of silk underwear and one set of soldiers. Many soldiers felt that one set was not enough, and they had to pay for a few more sets of them."
Immediately afterwards, Sun Li took out two sets of linen underwear and continued to introduce: "As an officer, in addition to the two sets of silk underwear, there is also a set of linen underwear, a set of thick cloth underwear, a set of linen coat, a set of leather armor, a pair of breastplate, helmet, leather boots, plus a cup to drink water, a small wine pot with his own sword, a pistol, a clairvoy, etc..."
Sun Li quickly put the trivial personal items he mentioned into the bag, and some of them were ready to be replaced and weapons that needed to be worn with them. The personal items were piled up next to Xu Ning, then tied a pair of plate-type breastplate outside the bag, and tied the other two rolled cloth bags on the bag, explaining: "These two bundles, one is a sleeping bag and the other is a rhinoceros mat, which is placed under his body when he is sleeping..."
Xu Ning curiously picked up the short pistol and Qianliyan picked up by Sun Li, and studied it carefully. Sun Li waited quietly, without ridiculing the other party's gaze that was less knowledgeable, but just looked calmly. When the other party lowered the clairvoy and repeatedly fiddled with the short pistol, Xu Ning pointed to the pistol and said, "This is the real 'Palm Thunder'. It is said that the Xia people in Shaanxi hid such hidden weapons, but they did not have the exquisiteness we did.
Any officer of the Haizhou regiment trainer can install four such hand guns and double barrels. Although this thing is not far away, it is really good to use for temporary life assistance. Go back and ask the little boy to teach you how to use it, and then find an opportunity to practice at the shooting range... Okay, the things are almost done, go to my house, they have been waiting for my house for a long time."
He pulled Xu Ning out of the house and Sun Li pointed out the courtyard and said, "When I first came, I also lived in the backyard of the Tuanlian Headquarters. This place turned out to be the back house of the Fang family courtyard. Later, I picked up my family and moved out. This place is good, and you will gradually realize it when you look back."
After that just now, Xu Ning no longer dared to underestimate this group training. The group training in front of him even has so finely configured personal belongings, no wonder the logistics work is so cumbersome.
After leaving the tutoring headquarters, he turned east. Sun Li's home was actually not far from the tutoring headquarters. The two turned a few steps. Under the earnest greetings of the villagers, in the mule cart and horse cart leisurely rippling in the mule carts and horse carts, they saw Lin Chong and Ruan Tong waiting at the alley not far away. Sun Li pulled Xu Ning and introduced as he walked: "The tutoring headquarters was originally called Fang Family Courtyard. It is said that this Fang Junwai is also a member of the White Lotus Sect. Maybe he is a member of the tribe with Fang La. After the crime, he was implicated and sent to the far-far military state, so the nearby house was vacant.
The villagers thought that the owner of the house here was unlucky, or were afraid that the tribesmen from other places would come to find trouble again, so the place has been vacant for a long time and has not been sold. We traveled around the world, but we didn’t care about these good and bad things. Brother Lin and I only knew that the location is good and close to the Tuanlian headquarters, so we paid for a few sets and lived in together... Haha, now Cuizhuang is worth every inch of land. If you have spare money in your pocket, you might as well buy a set of free residence. This Cuizhuang is really good."
Ruan Tong took over the topic at the entrance of the alley and said, "Zhang Heng could not pee in the same pot with us. The house he bought was far away. Behind the village and next to the Cherry Blossom Avenue, it was very remote. However, the guy didn't always live in the home. He usually lived in the Batou Shuijun camp. It was rare to see him come home on holidays... Hum, I never saw him doing so much when I was in Liangshan in the past - I won't call him when I have a drink this time."
Xu Ning didn't speak, followed Sun Li's pace. When he walked to the door of the latter's house, he stood on the street and looked around, and smiled and said, "It seems that you are living a good life. You can afford such an exquisite courtyard."
Several servants dressed in the village rushed over to serve. They took the gifts from everyone with a smile and led everyone to the house.
Cuizhuang has been expanding outward at a speed visible to the naked eye in recent years. The land in the center of the village has become rich and every inch of land has become valuable. Because the village is rich and people's life is fast, various service facilities have also been quickly improved. The banquets bought by Sun Li came from the hotel in the village. Other hotels like to make cups and plates made of sterling silver. The tools for the Cuizhuang hotel's dishes are all glass. Under the candlelight, the various glass plates are transparent and gold and silver, which looks very luxurious.
As soon as Xu Ning sat down, he was immediately frightened by the luxury of his eyes - an ordinary farm, a few ordinary regiment trainees in the farm could afford a full set of glass tableware... Even today's officials, as well as the treacherous minister Cai Jing, had never heard of a banquet for a full set of glass cups.
If, according to the normal historical process, in the Ming Dynasty, although glass products are not rare in China, they are at least expensive. In the "Journey to the West" written in the Ming Dynasty, the Jade Emperor's rolling curtain general, Monk Sha Sengsha, was demoted to the mortal world because he accidentally broke a glass cup. He suffered the punishment of five thunders every day and thousands of swords piercing his heart on the quicksand river... What a great hatred this should be
Sun Li misunderstood Xu Ning's surprise. He pointed to the glass cup and introduced: "The glassware produced by the eight major glass workshops in the world, only the glassware produced by the two major workshops in Haizhou can withstand hot water and not explode. Therefore, the glassware elsewhere can only be used as decorations, for fun and beautiful purposes. Only the glassware in Haizhou can be made into cups and plates for daily use. Brother Xu, don't be surprised. Our Tuanlian workshop also teaches such techniques, so this glassware is not rare in Cuizhuang."
Lin Chong didn't speak much, and he nodded and agreed to Sun Li: "If you want to make a living, this Cuizhuang is a good place."
The old companions repeatedly praised Cui Zhuang. Xu Ning suspected that this was because he did not bring his family. As if the few people in front of him had been instructed by the owner of the manor, they came to hand over the words. Looking at the red faces of their brothers, Xu Ning couldn't help but feel a sense of estrangement from the former brothers: "After all, they are partners who live and die together. Now they would rather listen to the owner of the manor to come and test their brothers than to have a heart to them... These brothers have really changed, even Ruan Tong."
With these thoughts, Xu Ning felt that the wine was boring. Although the brothers were very enthusiastic, the dishes tasted good, the utensils were exquisite, and the wine was also very good, Xu Ning immediately stood up and bowed: "There are still a lot of things in the yamen. Brothers dare not eat too much, for fear of misleading."
Lin Chong reached out and patted Xu Ning, shook his head gently, and then bowed to the other party. Xu Ning didn't say anything anymore, and left Sun Li's house with Xiao Tong Qingfeng in a depressed mood.
After Xu Ning left, Ruan Tong picked up the wine glass and took a big sip, and said weakly: "When this guy was in Liangshan, he was not with us."
That's right, Xu Ning was from a wealthy family in the past, and he was on duty in the palace. Not to mention that his ancestors were officers for several generations, and he passed down a pair of Tang Pijia worth thousands of tons - that is, Persian chain mail. In the entire Liangshan, Xu Ning was the only general with such armor, and this person did not shy away. He usually went on battles and even had to fight in small battles. He wore such expensive armor to fight - you can imagine how much he cherished his life.
So Xu Ning never strives for the first place.
Xu Ning, who came from a family of officers, implemented military orders perfectly and did a very meticulous job. In this sense, he was really the only one suitable for a logistics officer in Liangshan.
Ruan Tong's words did not resonate with everyone. Sun Li, Lin Chong, and Xu Ning were all from the twelve commanders. Zhang Hengzuo also had the identity of an imperial officer, but Ruan Tong was found by Song Jiang. He was a real bandit. If he was not seriously injured, he might have followed Song Jiang now. For those present now, no matter how cold Xu Ning is, he is still his own person. Ruan Tong's living habits are incompatible with the officers. He is an "outsider".
However, Ruan Tong was a loyal and righteous man. He was seriously injured. For ordinary people, he had already died several times under such injuries. Cui Zhuang's doctor saved his life. Ruan Tong had decided to sell the life to try on. Therefore, when Song Jiang left, he came to pick him up, and Ruan Tong refused. Now, because he expressed his attitude in time, the rest of the generals were going to go to war. Ruan Tong was ordered to sit in Cui Zhuang - Shi Chuan planned to use his ferocity and cruelty to shock those who plotted his property.
Ruan Tongyu was sarcastic at this moment, but Lin Chong and Sun Li did not refute it. Lin Chong picked up a glass of wine, savored it in small mouthfuls, and said lightly: "This wine is really good."
Sun Li was born in a horse army, and his family background was good nowadays. Sun Li could understand Xu Ning's arrogance. He smiled and replied: "Brothers, I sincerely invite him to live with him in Cuizhuang. After a long time, he will understand."
Ruan Tong was silent for a moment and agreed sincerely: "Yes, we are all people from all over the country and have seen many places, such as Cuizhuang, which is as peaceful and rich as Cuizhuang, and is harmonious and polite as polite neighbors.
After thinking about it, Ruan Tong added again: "Indeed, I have never seen a single one... From this perspective, this place is really a good place for elderly care."
After saying that, Ruan Tong threw down the cup, stood up and said, "When it comes to retirement, we have been waiting for half of our lives. Now that we have settled down, we must have a son and a half daughter to live up to such a good time... You guys are drinking slowly, I will go back and make a living with the husband's family."
Sun Li waved his hand and cursed with a smile: "You guy, you are not well yet, so you are more at ease in your sexual intercourse."
Lin Chong also stood up and said calmly: "I don't worry about whether I can defeat this battle this time, but I heard that the court..."
After saying that, Lin Chong stopped abruptly, threw down his wine glass and bowed to his goodbye.
On the second day, the imperial court issued a formal edict: the Privy Council recruited soldiers from the capital, the communist soldiers, as well as the gun players from Dingzhou, Li (pronounced Li)zhou, the foreign soldiers from Jinxi, Qinfeng Road gun players, Jingyuan Road archers, Haizhou Leihuo Bingbing and other regiments organized the expedition to Fang La. At the same time, the Privy Councilor Tong Guan was appointed as the Xuanfu envoy of Jiang, Huai, Jing, Zhejiang and other routes, the Jiedushi of Changde Army, and the Taiwei Tan Zhen (still an eunuch) as the commander of Liangzhe Road.
After Tong Guan took over, he immediately issued an edict to urge his direct descendants: Qinfeng Road Gunners, Jingyuan Road Archers, Jindi Fans (cavalry) and other regiments to speed up their journey and must rush to Jiangning Prefecture before the end of the year.
Later, Emperor Daojun ordered the revocation of Su, the Yingfeng Bureau and the construction bureau of Hangzhou, suspended the operation of Huashigang, and dismissed the Young Supervisor of Yingfeng Bureau, and the official positions of the father and son of the Suzhou defense envoy Zhu Xie (ancient character, same as Mian) - this is because the slogan of Fang La's uprising was "kill Zhu Xie".
The court urged the people in urgent need, and the Haizhou also sent several articles to urge the Haizhou Leihuo soldiers to set off immediately. Xu Ning was so busy that he was busy. Several other Liangshan brothers were also busy summoning their subordinates to move towards the Batou Shuijun Water Camp, and began to gather on board the boat that night. The night was busy, and everyone didn't close their eyes all night.
The next day, officials from Haizhou rushed to the water camp to send the camp - in fact, Shi Chuan set off immediately.
So, after beating the drums and drums, the twelve warships of the Navy and more than 30 transport ships dragged the inland loach ship behind them and slowly sailed out of the port. This time, the Haizhou soldiers led by Shi Chuan officially stepped onto the battlefield. Muskets also began to make their first large-scale appearance on the battlefield.
