Poor family mother and son

Chapter 843 Passionate "Desert"

Three days later, when Chu Qing was ready to leave and was about to go find Song Tingshan, Song Tingshan rushed to find him: "Chu Qing, I can't stand it anymore, when are you going to go?"

According to Chu Qing's request and Song Tingshan's determination to "let it go", Song Tingshan decided to detain all the Voss people except the fourth prince and King Guli at the cost of "nourishing" more than 1000 Voss people for half a month. .

This is a dangerous thing, if it’s not good, these barbarians rebelled, colluded with the inside and outside, and hooked up the Voss merchants who are resident in New Lunzhou to do business, not to mention tearing down the government office. Will engage in massacres.

This was the first time that Song Tingshan supported Chu Qing so clearly, or it was a big gamble.

He exercised the greatest authority and took the greatest risk. Of course, if Chu Qing wins, he will also get the greatest benefit.

"Don't worry, I've left a thousand veterans in the city to help you maintain order," Chu Qing said, "They usually help patrol the streets. My Blue House is their liaison office. If you have something to do, you can send someone to pass the message."

There are indeed many veterans in Chu Qing's family, besides the [-] in those years, there are also quite a few new ones who defected over the years, the guard Zhuo Yao built for Chu Qing was selected from the second batch.

But Chu Qing didn't intend to send them all to the battlefield, but told Song Tingshan directly, I still have a thousand veterans, I will save them to help you.

In doing so, I learned from Xiaobao - dragging people into the water.

Song Tingshan may know the strength of Chu Qing's family better than the emperor, but he must be the beneficiary to be safe.

Chu Qing and Xiao Bao will work together. Xiao Bao will lead the first 1000 veterans to take back Linyang County, while Chu Qing will join Ma Da's army.

The sixteenth day of March in the big Xuan calendar.

This is an unforgettable day for the fourth prince of Voss, Kelidi, because on this day, he can finally leave the private room of the prison.

The life spent in Daxuan for more than two months can be described as sweet first and then bitter.

The first month is sweet, he eats delicious food and spicy food all day long, the delicious food, beautiful girls, and convenient living conditions of Daxuan really make him want to leave.

The second month was like hell.

First, he traveled all the way, but he was half-starved and half-fed, and then he lived in a "big prison" for six days.

There is no way, there are too many people, Song Tingshan opened up a "private room" in the prison for them to live in, otherwise they cannot be supervised uniformly.

The most exasperating thing is that yesterday, Song Tingshan sent the mission and the welcoming team to the Changsheng Temple in the suburbs, where they were under centralized supervision.

With such a good place, why put yourself in prison for several days?
Speaking of which, Song Tingshan was not good enough.

Originally, he had established contact with the Taoist temple and wanted to use it to resettle the Voss people, but the news of Chu Qing soon spread that the Taoist temple was also patriotic, so he regretted it and refused to accept it.

Later, Song Tingshan approved 1000 taels of silver for the repair of Changsheng Temple, and the abbot agreed because of the money.

Arranging the Voss people in the Taoist temple is actually the idea of ​​letting the Taoist guardians assist in guarding them.

The Temple of Longevity used to be a Taoist temple in the old Eastern Lun period, and it was an achievement of Daxuan's religious penetration. It has a history of nearly a hundred years, and it was especially prosperous when the old emperor was alive.

The Taoist guardian of the Longevity Temple is comparable to a martial arts master, proficient in eighteen kinds of weapons.

However, it took time for these Voss people to delay the registration, go through the formalities, and issue the fine documents, which was delayed until yesterday.

Therefore, the fourth prince and King Guli didn't get good treatment.

The fourth prince and King Guli sat bored in the carriage. King Guli was listless and haggard, and lost ten catties. He looked much more pleasing to the eye than before, and there was less oil on his nose.

The dark circles under the fourth prince's eyes have faded a lot. It seems that saving his waist is indeed good for his health. He even has enough energy. Sitting there cursing, all scolding Song Tingshan and Chu Qing.

Xu Nianping rode on a tall Voss horse, while listening to the four prince's swear words, he also listened to the whispers of the people on the street.

Why whispering instead of rambunctious discussion?
Because today was the day when Chu Qing's team went to the front line, and that scene made people dare not make too much noise.

No one deliberately maintained order on the street, but the common people consciously stood on both sides of the street and watched silently.

Chu Qing set off from the Chu residence with thirty guards, and after picking up the fourth prince and King Guli at the state government office, he hurried all the way to the north city gate.

Along the way, people kept rushing towards Chu Qing's team, passing by the front row, and followed to the end of Chu Qing's team, like "snakes eating", the line got longer and longer.

These people did not join casually, because the people have already discovered that there are always dozens or hundreds of strong young men in khaki clothes on both sides of the street, with red cloth strips wrapped around their right arms and bows tied on them, waiting for something .

Until Chu Qing's team appeared, they followed behind the team with big steps and fast speed.

Their expressions are solemn and resolute, their steps are uniform, and their team is constantly expanding, but no one is looking around, no one is talking and laughing.

No one to command, but strict discipline.

Even if it is a real soldier, it is nothing more than that.

Seeing such a team, the common people did not dare to talk presumptuously, they only dared to whisper to each other——

"I said, is the person in black at the front the legendary woman who was an official?"

"Yes! I've seen it before, it's called Chu Qing, it's amazing!"

"Then these younger generations are also hers?"

"I guess so. Didn't you see that the yamen has been registering all the time? These are all young people from Xinlunzhou!"

"Do you know anyone? I haven't heard of any young people joining the army!"

"That may not be from our city, but from the countryside!"

"Then Master Chu is very good at picking people, these young people look energetic!"

"That's not true! Ordinary people, I guess Mr. Chu would not like it either!"

……

Xu Nianping listened to the people's discussion, and turned his head to look at the team behind him - a field of khaki, like a moving desert.

It's just the red bows on their right arms, which bring some enthusiasm to this "desert".

"Lord Chu, are these soldiers recruited these days?" Xu Nianping asked.

"Yes, Lord Song chose it." Chu Qing replied.

Half true and half true.

It is true that Song Tingshan helped organize the recruitment of vanguard soldiers, but those who were actually "recruited" were the veterans who joined the Chu family in the later batches, as well as the youngsters of the boat gang and salt gang led by Hou Ze.

These people were selected by Xiaobao a long time ago, because Hou Ze and his gang are all people who have learned how to use and make grenades and landmines.

By the time they left the city, Chu Qing's team had expanded to nearly a thousand people.

Outside the city gate, there was a row of carriages waiting. Each carriage was covered with red silk, and its four corners were pulled by ropes, covering the goods on the carts so that nothing could be seen.

"These are all food and grass?" Xu Nianping asked.

In the past few days, he ran all over the border of New Lunzhou in a hurry, and he was almost exhausted. Unexpectedly, Chu Qing did a lot of things, not only the recruitment of troops, but also the preparation of food and grass.

This made Xu Nianping very admired.

"Not all of them, half of the food, half of the 'big killer' I have been researching these days." Chu Qing said.

Now it's time to tell Xu Nianping something "old story", otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the emperor later, so Chu Qing explained - "I bought out the firecracker workshop in Xinlunzhou!"
