Chapter 875 Soldiers First, Courtesy Later?

While Xu Youqing paid close attention to the battle, he also constantly summoned his servants to train regiments to strengthen his guard force to prevent the wandering army from invading his property.

The big families in the whole area have begun to train and organize their own armed guard groups.

They know better than anyone what a defeated soldier is.

They are also actively discussing Unicom news with other wealthy families in the region, and have mutual exchanges of armed guards. All in all, they pay more attention to this matter than anyone else, while the local common people don't pay much attention to this matter. Even know about it.

It wasn't until the troops of the Zhennan Army marched towards Huating County, when the common people huddled in the dilapidated houses and watched in horror at the neatly lined up troops outside, that they knew what might happen tomorrow. something happened.

Xu Youqing learned about this matter relatively early. He knew the news of the Zhennan Army's mobilization from the time when the Zhennan Army had just captured Hangzhou Mansion. When the Zhennan Army took Huzhou, how Jiaxing Mansion marched towards Songjiang Mansion began to threaten him. When he was in the family property, he realized that things were different from what he thought.

In Daming, everyone always paid attention to etiquette before soldiers, but this time it was different, they didn't see the existence of "rituals" at all, and then saw "soldiers" directly, which made Xu Youqing feel at a loss.

What was even more at a loss was that these soldiers didn't seem to have any intention of contacting him. They drove to Zhujing in a mighty way, captured Zhujing, defeated Jinshanwei by the way, and invaded Xu's Kingdom in a very domineering manner. , which made Xu Youqing very angry.

No matter how domineering you Xiao Ruxun are, you can't be unreasonable. Although our Xu family doesn't have a chief assistant in the court, we still have the decency and power that we should have. What are you trying to do in such a mess?Are you trying to outrage?

Do you still want to replace Shen's usual support?

Xu Youqing immediately held a family meeting, and called the main and branches of the second and third bedrooms to discuss the next countermeasures. The descendants of the Xu family felt very difficult about this matter, because they didn't know that it was Xiao Ruxun's. The meaning is still the misconduct of the generals under his command.

Originally, they were waiting for Xiao Ruxun to contact them, but Xiao Ruxun sent troops directly. What is this?

This does not conform to the rules of the game of the Ming Dynasty!
"Xiao Ruxun doesn't follow the rules. We have always been courteous before soldiers. Even if we tear our face, we must pay attention to first come first, first come first. What's the point of fighting without announcing in advance? He doesn't even have the most basic morals. This is something that only a vulgar martial artist can do. , It really makes me feel contemptuous!"

"That's right! Such actions are totally against the rules! Xiao Ruxun is a warrior! Could it be that he wants to fight against us? He thinks that he is really great because he mobilized troops to sweep Jiangnan? Without our support, he can't stand at all!"

"Jiangnan's wealth is all in my hands. If he dares to do something to us, we can make him not get a grain of food or a penny. Let's see what he will do against us! With our current status, let's raise our arms." With a call, not only Nanzhili, but Zhejiang and Fujian will also follow, what else can Xiao Ruxun do? He thinks that the garrison in the county is considered to be occupying the territory?"

Several members of the Xu family sneered at the "naive" Xiao Ruxun, their tone full of disgust and disdain.

Xu Youqing thought for a while.

He thought a little more, such as Xiao Ruxun's fighting power against the sky.

"Let's send someone to get in touch with the general of that team. If nothing else, if those warriors really go crazy, we won't get any benefits. Find him, tell him what's good and bad, and let him know what's wrong with us. The end of the fight.

In this case, we can continue to cooperate. Anyway, Shen Wanyi is hopeless. It is inevitable for Xiao Ruxun to go to Beijing to support the Supreme Emperor to re-emerge as a great treasure. We must make plans early, and we can't really tear ourselves apart. It is not without opponents in the court. "

Members of the Xu family looked at me and I looked at you, and they all agreed with his opinion.

"Who wants to go?"

After a while of silence, Xu Nianzu, the side branch of the second room, stood up.

"I would like to go to his army to tell a story."

Xu Jingzeng, the person in charge of the second room, silently glanced at him, showing dissatisfaction.

Xu Youqing smiled slightly.

"Okay, I wish my cousin a smooth journey."

"The mission must be fulfilled."

Xu Nianzu took over this task, and immediately set off, leading a dozen Xu family knights towards Zhu Jing.

It was already evening when Zheng Ying commanded the army to take down Zhujing. After that, he ordered the troops to camp on the spot and not disturb the people. The large amount of fresh fish that came up was cooked by Huotou, and everyone had meat to eat and fish soup to drink.

Needless to say, when the Jizhen soldiers were stationed in the north, it wasn’t that they didn’t have meat to eat, but that they had few opportunities. Basically, they were gruel with salted vegetables, and when they were better, they ate some dry rice or steamed buns. After joining the Zhennan Army sequence, the food was quickly improved.

It's not that it's really good, there is meat or something, but at least it won't let soldiers fight hungry without enough food and clothing, at least it can ensure that the army has enough food and warm clothes.

It's very cold, especially in the south of the Yangtze River. The cold and humid weather swept across the north and south of the river, which made these Jizhen soldiers who were used to the dry and cold weather from the north not used to it.

After joining the Zhennan Army, they immediately lived a life full of food. They could eat at least one dry meal a day, and they got better military uniforms and shoes, and even handguards and cotton military caps, which can protect them Ears, if you are on duty at night, you can wear a big cotton jacket, and you can drink extra ginger soup, which is not cold.

And if the weather is really too cold, Huotoujun will also make very special side dishes, that is, the side dishes with chili added in it, it feels hot and hot, and once you eat it, your whole body will be warm and warm. Sometimes you eat and eat Sweat broke out on his forehead, as if to dispel the cold.

Such a day made those newly joined Ji Zhenbing feel very novel, and they were willing to accept it from the bottom of their hearts.

They increasingly regarded themselves as part of the Zhennan Army, rather than the Jizhen Legion independent of the Zhennan Army.

This is a very good thing.

When Zheng Ying leads the troops to inspect the camp, he can detect the subtle changes in the soldiers, and the existence of the so-called "instructors" who have joined in, so that the soldiers have never caused any trouble, which is amazing. things.

When it was getting dark, Zheng Ying led his troops to inspect the camp and was ready to go back to the camp to eat chili fried pork. It was a small stove opened for him by the old Huotou in the Huotou army. A large bowl of chili fried pork slices was fragrant and spicy. , Zheng Ying can always eat two or three bowls of rice and all the chili fried meat in one go.

Then the body is warm and comfortable, but it is not good at all. Recently, when I got a tuba, I felt that the anus is not very comfortable, and I don’t know if it has something to do with the food, but so far I haven’t received any large-scale reactions from the soldiers... …

Back in his tent, Zheng Ying drooled and began to enjoy his dinner, but before taking a few mouthfuls of food, someone came to report——

An envoy from Huating Xu's family came to see him.

What are people doing here at this time?beg for mercy?Or speak harshly?

Xiao Ruxun's request was to destroy the Xu family and firmly hold the entire Songjiang Mansion in his hands. He didn't intend to talk nonsense with the Xu family at all, but since they came, Zheng Ying didn't intend to just drive them away like this.

So he ordered them to be brought to his camp. If there were followers, he could only bring two of them, and the rest were not allowed to enter the barracks.
