Just after the rain, the road was a little muddy, and when people stepped on it, there was a rustling sound.

From Beixu Gate to Beicheng Gate, to Cross Street, the low and wide streets were crowded with people, and they all looked at the army entering the city with awe. Many people also showed a sense of peace of mind. Lord Yang led the army to arrive, and the lives of the villagers were guaranteed.

The people squeezed to see, and burst into surprises from time to time. It was better to see them than to see them. I had heard that the local brave men on the North Bank were like wolves and tigers, defeating the fierce Xuzhou bandits, Jiaoshan bandits, and Tongshan bandits. As expected, the people they saw in front of me were extraordinary heroic.

Compared with the civil and brave yamen runners in the county town, there is a difference between them.

The sound of hooves was mixed, and the mud and water were stirred up from time to time. Jiuye's cavalry team walked in front. They were all gray felt cloaked and fast, and they were fierce and quick, which made the people amazed. Unexpectedly, Lord Yang still had such a sharp horse team.

Especially Qian Sanniang and Li Ruwan in the horse team made everyone curious. It was amazing that this woman could also ride a horse to fight. Especially the woman with a black cloak and very cold, is the rod next to her saddle a mace?

Looking at the heavy mace, covered with cold barbs, the people of Suining City were all amazed.

If she hit this stick, her mind will surely bloom.

The woman in the cloak is still so cold, and her eyes are shining, making her whole body feel cold.

Cold, tall and fierce, elephant-headed female leopard. Who dares to marry this woman?

The people were very excited to see it and were talking about it.

The cavalry team was followed by the sentry team, and Pei Pochuan and Ling Zhanyun were more concerned about it. After all, those who could hold horse spears and hooks and sickle spears were all elites among the elites. Then Minister Yang and Han Daxia's soldiers came in big striking storms.

The six chiefs and deputy chiefs and soldiers were always riding horses, wearing iron helmets and armor, and wearing cloaks. The flag bearer and drummer led the way. The "Yang" army flag was flying high, followed by five shield-holding guards, and then the firearms and killer soldiers who were striding forward.

The street was not very wide, and they were only two in a row. The commander of the sergeant walked in front of the second row, and the chief of the armor was walking in front of the first row. Each of his military boots stepped on the mud and water, and the neat sounds gave people great pressure.

They were all full of sharpness and murderous aura. The firearm soldiers carried the exquisite bird guns of black and dried bird guns, with a knife on their waists, and a water bottle bag and a medicine bag on their backs. They were all oil cloth leather, tied with a belt, a winter felt cloak, and exposed a green fit fat jacket, which was very energetic.

The killer soldiers held the sword and the shield with their hands, and the heavy shield was behind them. The shield was extremely high, extremely large and heavy. Anyway, there was no head visible from behind.

The spearman carried a spear, a round shield behind him, and also had a detached knife on the right side.

Seeing them coming in neatly, the army was tidy and energetic, and as they marched, they were splashing with mud and water.

There is a lot of mud on the street, and the hem of each person's leather military boots and cloak are covered with mud dots.

Earlier, they might have been rushing in the rain, and there was still rain and wetness on their felt hats and cloaks, so they didn't care.

The people had a strange feeling. Although the horses were strong and weak, if they really fought, the horse team in front might not be able to beat these infantrymen.

Some of the knowledgeable people were even more amazed. Some of them had seen the soldiers of the imperial court, but...

The Xin'an army came neatly, with all the strong men and all the strong spirits. The wind was blowing the flags and the military boots were splattering with large pieces of mud and water. Many young men felt flames in their hearts. It was said that good men would not be in the army, and good iron would not be used as nails, but when they saw this army, many people couldn't help but have the idea of ​​joining.

A sigh came from a group of waiting and watching scholars: "Don't you see, the Han army is over, and the weak crowns are the enemy who are in the long run."

It is better to see it at first sight than to hear it. Although the matter about Yang He and the people in the North Bank Township Yong were widely circulated in Suining City, the whole army was so beautiful that everyone could not tell a son Chou Yin and Mao, and finally saw the true face of Mount Lu.

As soon as Yang He's army appeared, it shocked all the Suining military and civilians.

Some people are happy and some are sad.

...

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The magistrate Gao Qifeng and Yang He walked side by side. When he learned that Yang He led the army to the outside of Beixu Gate, he led several officials from the county yamen to personally rush to the gate of Beicheng to greet him, expressing his importance. Seeing the look of the army in front of him, he felt even more relieved.

The magistrate was in a very good mood. Although he was very deep and cold and harsh, it was difficult for his muscles to express his expression, his face was filled with a cheerful smile: "Be careful, I will feel relieved when you come. Alas, the thief is clamoring. I am worried day and night, but now I finally breathed a sigh of relief."

Yang He was fully armed at this time, with an eight-petal hat and an iron-sharp helmet, a throat-protecting neck full of fine armor leaves, a saber-cutting saber-hanging around his waist, and a bow and arrow hanging on the saddle. However, there was a gun holster on the right side of the belt, and a three-eyed flintlock Xin'an hand gun was inserted inside.

Unlike the generals who were all red cloaks, he was still wearing a black cloak surrounded by squid fur and collared cloak that was given to him by turbulent waves, and it also had a deep color.

He grabbed the reins of the horse with one hand and claimed the crime: "I have received letters from the Ming Mansion long ago, but the thief is a big deal. The subordinates practiced for a few more days. The Ming Mansion was worried that the subordinates were guilty of the subordinates."

Gao Qifeng smiled and said, "You also want to train elite soldiers. What's the crime? As long as people come."

The chief clerk Zheng Shixin followed behind, holding the reins with both hands. He looked in surprise, writing the words "Suining Lian Zongyang" with his words, three feet tall, walking in front of him, and then ten intrinsic iron armored soldiers were surrounded by each other, each of whom was as handsome as Lord Yang.

Not to mention the infantry and horse teams that walked in front, they were walking with carts and those who walked behind them, were they the baggage soldiers mentioned by Lord Yang?

Are there any such baggage soldiers?

As expected, Master Tian said it was right. Lord Yang led five or six hundred people to come, all of whom were elite soldiers.

With these elite soldiers here, Suining's city defense should be worry-free.

At the same time, he was secretly shocked. According to his eyes, Lord Yang's subordinates looked like equipment. Although he took away 4,000 taels of silver from the county treasury, he probably couldn't support this army. He should have taken a lot of money from his private savings.

But it doesn’t matter. Just Lord Yang can support himself. Will the county honor the elderly and parents not mention this matter at all?

Anyway, as long as others come, everything will be easy to say.

The dictionary Wei Kungang also walked with the county magistrate Liu Zunhe. Liu Zunhe looked gloomy, while Wei Kungang's face was pale, incredibly uneasy.

What's going on? How did Yang He train these soldiers? There are so many more?

How did his horse team come from?

Where did the iron armor come from?

How did he build so many well-equipped bird guns under his command?

And the indescribable majesty and temperament in his army, and the murderous aura made Wei Kungang secretly frightened and restless when he saw it.

"What's going on?"

Everything made Wei Dianshi puzzled, anxious and uneasy.

...

Yang He and the magistrate walked hand in hand. They were talking and laughing, six officials, no, five, headed into the city.

Everyone agreed and forgot about Inspection Deng.

However, Yang He planned to settle the troops into the barracks first, and then go to the county government to discuss matters.

While the people of Suining City were watching enthusiastically, the officials separated in the Cross Street, and then Yang He pulled the team not far from the city wall, and the West Street Training General Administration.

The barracks are just behind the bureau, with roads leading to the east and west, and there are small doors leading to the back garden of the bureau in Yanghe.

West Street is more lively than before, and some open spaces also clearly see the shadow of newly built buildings. After all, the real estate effect is here, and the government and barracks can imagine the pull of the surrounding economy.

Minister Yang and others who had just arrived in Suining looked curiously. The office was particularly amazed by the government. The city was so broken, but the office was so majestic. Next to the banyan tree and in front of the gatehouse, Zan Dianlian Fangzheng had already led three Zao Li, Deng Menzi, the groom and the chef to welcome him.

When he saw Yang He, Lian Fangzheng said seriously: "The thieves are clamoring and the military situation is urgent. Why are you late?"

Everyone looked at this kid...

They all looked at Han Daxia at the same time.

Sure enough, after they met, although they were both literary and military, they all felt like they met the same kind of people and admired them quite well.

Yang He didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he led his army into the barracks. The barracks were not far from the lake and were quite large in area. There were large walls inside, and then there were bungalows, all of which were large shops of ten people per room, with a warm kang for winter, which can be used now.

It turned out that there were sixty barracks, but although Yang He left, he asked Lian Fangzheng to hire someone to repair them. He took out real money and silver. The civilians came enthusiastically and built a hundred rooms, which could accommodate a thousand people.

Then there are wells, canteens, warehouses, bathhouses, toilets, stables, etc. in the barracks. The large flat ground in the middle of the barracks has also been repaired and some fine sand is laid for easy practice.

In fact, walking to the north of the barracks, along the lakeside, there are weed ponds there. He wants to expand the area and have a large area. The schoolyard outside the city is also abandoned and difficult to use.

Yang He ordered Minister Yang and Han Daxia to settle in and occupy one area, and then the central army flag bearer, cavalry team sentry team, baggage team medical team and other places occupied another area.

Of course, the captain-level officers have one room for each room, and the team deputy has one room for two, especially the girls Qian Sanniang and Li Ruwan, which have two small courtyards, including bathhouses, toilets, etc. After all, some things are inconvenient for girls’ homes.

Seeing Mr. Yang's arrangement like this, Master Jiu hurriedly thanked him. Qian Sanniang's eyes drooped and she looked at Yang He strangely.

Lian Fangzheng kept following, looking at the team in front of him with admiration. He had been very busy during his time in Suining because Yang He told him to do many things.

For example, grain and grass must be supplied by the county. Could it be that Yanghe transports grain and rice across the Yellow River?

But considering that it was the time when the summer grain was not met, the summer grain would have to wait for several months. The bandits attacked, and I don’t know when it would be. Jieshi was afraid that the county warehouse would have difficulty supplying, so Yanghe also prepared for the future and reserved some food early.

For example, he asked Lian Fangzheng to buy 200 stones of rice, 200 kilograms of salt, and enough beans and hay to be eaten by more than 600 men in one month.

I have also bought a lot of various medicines, and I have also purchased a lot of meat and vegetables.

He went to Suining a few days ago and received gifts and collected more than 1,000 taels of silver, all of which were used.

It also gained the reputation of being generous and generous to the General Administration of Liberal Arts. All businesses around are very willing to do business with the General Administration of Liberal Arts.

He was inhabited by refugees and took 4,000 taels of silver from the county warehousing, and a large part of it would be spent on it.

So this time, Yang He's army only brought dry food for one day and ate it all at noon, but brought a car with gunpowder, lead bullets and other things.

At present, he still has a lot of gunpowder reserves, and he can produce 700 kilograms of high-purity tincture in one month. Although he can only obtain it in autumn, winter and spring, he has very sufficient medicine.

After seeing the warehouse, Yang He nodded. Zuan Dianlian had a bad temper, but he was still serious about his work and he had done everything he asked for.

besides……

The last time he came to Suining, he also collected five small guns and wolf machine gates, all in the style of Falcon cannons, including the second door and the third door. At this time, he saw in the arsenal that the heavy four-legged wooden stool had been removed and the wheel frame was installed as he required.

The total weight is still more than 100 kilograms, but it is convenient to travel outside, and you can lift the places that are not easy to push and pull.

Everyone looked at the scene with great enthusiasm. Minister Yang, Han Daxia, and Zhang Songtao also felt it with their own hands, holding the long handle, aiming left and right at the sight of the sight.

Minister Yang grinned and said, "Duke, with these five artillery pieces, our army will be even more powerful."

Yang He nodded with a smile. These five cannons, No. 2, lead balls for 10 taels, and No. 3, lead balls for 5 taels, each cannon has five sub-guns, weighing fifteen kilograms and thirty kilograms. Judging from the flexible rotating brackets of each cannon and smooth appearance, it is obvious that they have been wiped and oiled during this period, so you can use them as long as you want.

After he returned last time, he also selected five gunmen who were good at firing, and ten thick soldiers were transferred into the artillery team as gunners. He aimed, ignited, and loading and unloading hands with each cannon, and trained in the abandoned small gun wolf machine brought back by one in the village.
