Chapter 1097 Soldiers
"Destroy first and then establish?" General Guo became more alert and asked, "Have you already thought of a countermeasure? Come and see."
Qin Sanlang nodded and told him his method of training Zhong Yu.
General Guo was stunned when he heard this, and finally had a smile on his face, and said: "You still have a way, but Zhong Yu is a noble son. What if he can't stand the hard work and gives up?"
To be honest, General Guo still wanted to exchange Zhong Yu for the Zhong family's silver. Raising troops cost money, and the emperor was too greedy to give too much silver to their soldiers in the south. He could only find ways to find money to raise troops.
Qin Sanlang said: "No, although Zhong Yu is a noble son, he is a man who can endure hardships, wants to make achievements in the military, and has the intention to make contributions. As long as this original intention is still there, he will not be far behind. "
When Lieutenant General Lan heard this, he felt aggrieved for Qin Sanlang: "That boy Zhong Yu is going against you like this, and you still speak for him. Sanlang, you have such a good temper."
Qin Sanlang smiled. In fact, he didn't have a good temper, otherwise he wouldn't have a reputation as the King of Hell in the garrison camp. He just thought: "Zhong Yu can still be saved."
And Zhong Yus temper is very similar to his second brother.
The second brother, like Zhong Yu, has a very hot temper. When he first went to the northwest military camp for training, he was also looked down upon by the northwest army. They said that he was from the capital and could become the flag commander as soon as he arrived because of his status as a prince of the Hou family.
The second brother was so angry that he resigned from the position of flag commander. He started as a soldier and became the deputy general of the vanguard army in just three years. He was very powerful.
He was very surprised when he heard about his second brother. In his opinion, with his second brother's temper, he would definitely give up his job. Before leaving, he would drag out those who laughed at him and beat him up. Anyway, he is the legitimate son of the Hou family, and his soldiers will not be beheaded if they make a few jokes.
But the second brother didnt, he endured it.
Later, the eldest brother told him that the reason why the second brother gritted his teeth and endured it was not only because he did not want to be laughed at, but also because he had a desire to make contributions and protect the family and the people.
The same goes for Zhong Yu. He is so similar to his second brother that Qin Sanlang is confident that Zhong Yu can change for the better after this big mistake.
"Is there still hope? Sanlang, you are too kind to Zhong Yu. He is a fool. Don't save him. Just throw him back home." Lieutenant General Lan didn't want to talk to Zhong Yu anymore.
Qin Sanlang said: "There are no bad soldiers, there are only generals who can't train soldiers. Compared with other people with impure thoughts, Zhong Yu is rare. If you can train him well, you will benefit a lot. You shouldn't give up on him so quickly." "
General Guo nodded repeatedly when he heard this: "Sanlang, good boy, I did not misjudge you. I will leave Zhong Yu's affairs to you. If you can train him out, I will credit you with a great achievement!"
Zhong Yu is the money bag. When he is here, the Zhong familys money will be delivered every year, and the soldiers can live a better life.
Qin Sanlang smiled: "This is what you should do in a humble position. There is no need to record great achievements. General, just give me a few more days off and let me go home to accompany my wife."
Hahaha, you kid, youre not ashamed to say this. Youve really grown up. General Guo was filled with emotion when he thought of the time they made a joke on Saburo three years ago and how he still blushed.
"Sure, I will give you a few more days off to accompany my wife. Magistrate Zheng won't say anything." General Guo is really kind to Qin Sanlang. Knowing that he will have a betrothal ceremony in a while, he asked Said: "Have you invited a matchmaker? If you do, please withdraw. I have a good candidate here, who is a descendant of the Zhongyuan clan. After the Zong family fell, a branch of the clan became a matchmaker. They are official matchmakers registered in the Yamen. Many famous families and official families in Jianghuai and Jiangnan hire matchmakers from the clan for their marriages. I have asked my wife to make arrangements for you, and I will ask the matchmaker to give you a wedding gift when the time comes." Qin Sanlang was overjoyed when he heard this. , he had heard of the matchmaker of the Zong family. Because he was from the aristocratic Zong family, he was very famous. There were also people in the capital who spent a lot of money to hire matchmakers from the Zong family to perform the six rituals.
But his family is now in decline, and he cannot invite the Zong familys matchmaker, so he can only ask the official matchmaker from the city. Now that he has General Guos words, he immediately clasped his fists and saluted and thanked him: Thank you for your humble post, General Guo!
The look of joy and excitement was beyond words, which made General Guo very happy to see him. What a wonderful baby. If it weren't for the relationship between his superiors and subordinates, he would have really wanted to set up a few banquets and adopt Sanlang as his adopted son.
General Guo nodded and said: "Okay, don't worry. The matchmaker of the Zong family will come in a few days. Brother Qiang will take him with him. He will stay in Fucheng for a few days first. When you go back to make the engagement ceremony, Brother Qiang will be brought to you." I took it home with the matchmaker."
Qin Sanlang was stunned when he heard this, and thanked General Guo again: "Thank you for your support, General."
Brother Qiang is the eldest son of General Guo. He is twelve years old this year. Qin Sanlang has met him, and General Guo can let his eldest son go to the Qin family to help with the engagement ceremony. For a small family from a village, Said that it was a big face.
After all, Brother Qiang is the son of a general. Who in the country has ever seen such a noble son?
Vice General Lan was also very happy. He patted Qin Sanlang on the shoulder and said, "You can do it, General Guo almost regards you as his own son. No wonder Zhong Yu is jealous."
He added: "But you relied on your true ability to make General Guo like you. That boy Zhong Yu only gets into trouble every day. Looking at him makes me feel tired and not lovable at all."
Qin Sanlang smiled and said: "He will also make a fortune in the future."
Then he said to General Guo: "General, please remove Zhong Yu from the position of general flag, let him start from a small soldier, and then gather the thorns in the camp and take him to the mountains to practice together. Otherwise, he will only practice bell training. If Yu is alone, he will feel that we are targeting him."
"Sure." General Guo nodded and said to Lieutenant General Lan, "Go and gather those thornheads and put them on standby."
Yes. Lieutenant General Lan took the order and left.
Zhong Yu stood by the pillar in the distance. After seeing Vice General Lan come out, he walked to the training ground on the other side without coming towards him. He felt relieved and looked at General Guo's tent uneasily. I wonder how General Guo will punish himself?
What should we do if we drive him away?
His family did not agree with him becoming a soldier. If he was driven home, he would lose all face.
While he was feeling uneasy, Qin Sanlang and General Guo's trusted soldiers came over and announced General Guo's order.
"Zhong Yu, General Guo has an order. You disobeyed the order. According to military law, you should be executed. Since you are the first offender and this time you are suppressing bandits instead of resisting foreign enemies, I will give you a lighter sentence and give you twenty heavy beatings." Military sticks, removed from the post of general flag, and added to the auxiliary army as auxiliary soldiers."
They are auxiliary soldiers, not even regular soldiers. They just have food to eat and don't get military pay. It's really miserable.
After hearing this, Zhong Yu was not dissatisfied. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief. He knelt down and said, "I accept my punishment. Thank you General for not killing me!"
