Unparalleled Concubine

The wine sent to the army is probably above 75 degrees, and the medical alcohol is about [-] degrees. There should be no big problem with this level of spirits used for disinfection.

But Li Xin is not a medical student, and he only has one idea in his mind about this kind of thing, and he dare not give a definite answer.

Ye Ming's expression became serious, he stood up and bent over to Li Xin: "If half of the wounded can be saved, Lieutenant Li will be the benefactor of our Northern Army!"

The three of them sat in the room and talked about how to drink alcohol. Li Xin took out a wooden box from his arms and handed it to Ye Ming: "General, this is the telescope that His Majesty asked me to bring to you. Far-sighted for several miles, one step ahead to spot the enemy's situation."

To be honest, this kind of telescope is not very useful if it cannot be distributed to the scouts on a large scale, because in this era when the two armies are fighting, the scouts are spread out for tens of miles or even dozens of miles. These scouts are the eyes of the general. , they are much farther than the telescope can see.

Those old scouts, if they encounter cavalry, they can tell the approximate number of people on the other side by lying on the ground and listening to the sound.

If this thing can be allocated to the scouts on the front line on a large scale, it can naturally greatly improve the scout's ability, but if it is only allocated to the general, then it can only be used to look at the opposing army from a high place when the opponent is attacking.

Even so, Ye Ming was very happy after seeing the magical effect of this telescope. After all, with this thing, he could stand on a tall building and see the enemy's layout clearly when guarding the gate, and deal with it calmly.

After briefly telling Ye Ming how to use the binoculars, General Ye couldn't put it down immediately, holding the binoculars to look around.

After a while, Ye Ming put the binoculars back into the wooden box, and smiled at Li Xin: "A few days ago, I received the secret letter from His Majesty, and I was somewhat dissatisfied with it. Now that I have seen Li Xiaowei's ability, it really makes me feel better." It opened my eyes."

As he said that, he turned his head to look at Wang Zhong, and chuckled: "Old brother, can you avoid it for a while, I have something to talk to Captain Li."

Wang Zhong immediately stood up, bent towards Ye Ming, and exited the main hall.

Li Xin looked at the general curiously, and said with a smile, "What's the matter with the general, so serious?"

Ye Ming had a slight smile on his face: "Lieutenant Li, do you know why His Majesty sent you here?"

Li Xin was stunned and said, "Isn't it to send something to the general?"

"These two things are considered military resources, and the Ministry of War just sends them over. Why do you need the emperor's guards to travel so far, and His Majesty even named you to deliver them in person. Captain Li didn't think about the deep meaning of it?"

Li Xin shook his head slightly: "I never thought about it."

Ye Ming squinted his eyes and said with a chuckle: "This general said earlier that before Colonel Li arrived at Jimen Pass, His Majesty sent a secret letter first."

Ye Ming's words were a little cloudy, but Li Xin still couldn't hear clearly.

Ye Ming sat on the main seat, lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

"Your Majesty asked me to arrange some military merits for Lieutenant Li in the secret letter."

General Ye looked calm and smiled lightly.

"According to intelligence, Can Zhou will send people to attack a beacon garrison sixty miles west of Jimen Pass in three days. There are about 600 people. This is a small contribution. Is Captain Li interested? , happened to be passing by that Feng garrison?"

Chapter 187 Holy Son of Heaven

"If I remember correctly, after you deliver the things here, you have to go to the Zhong Family Army."

Li Xin woke up from his daze, and said, "That's right, there are two binoculars in total, and His Majesty asked me to give the other one to General Zhong Xuantong."

Ye Ming chuckled and said, "The Chong Family Army is located to the west of the Northern Army of our town. You can find it all the way west along the border. When Li Xiaowei passed by this beacon garrison, he "just happened" to be attacked by the Can Zhou enemy. You can take the credit for that.”

Li Xin was stunned.

In his memory, wars are full of flames of war, corpses and arms, and extremely bloody scenes. He never expected that this kind of thing can be divided up by others like a cake!

In fact, this is a very normal thing at the border. For the frontier army, military merit is a real benefit. In a bad period, some frontier soldiers will even kill the enemy's civilians, or even kill good people for meritorious service. In other words, it is already "loyal to the emperor and patriotic" just to divide military merits.

"This...isn't so good—"

"There's nothing wrong with that."

Ye Ming patted Li Xin on the shoulder, and said calmly: "Lieutenant Li, don't worry, those people are serious and honest Zhou forces, they are not good people, and the general has placed informants inside them. As long as Li Xiaowei passes by there and stops the enemy with the enemy in the camp, the credit will be obtained."

Speaking of this, Zhong Ming was a little afraid that Li Xin would not believe it, so he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Li Xin.

"This is His Majesty's secret letter, you can take a look."

Li Xin took the letter with both hands and carefully opened it.

The first thing he saw was the inscription on the letter, it was indeed a seal from the palace, there was no problem.

When Li Xin read the letter, the general said with a smile: "A garrison has 400 people, and Li Xiaowei also has 400 people under his command. If we do the math mentally or not, as long as we set up some traps in advance, the credit will be stuff in the bag."

Speaking of this, no matter how stupid Li Xin is, he can still understand.

Emperor Chengde has always intended to support him, but Li Xin has no background, no qualifications, and is too young. If he is suddenly promoted to a position that is too high, it will attract criticism from the government and the public.

In this world, only military merit is real.

Huo Qubing was granted the title of Langjuxu, and the young man was named Champion Marquis. No one dared to talk too much!

Li Xin lowered his head and thought for a moment, and finally said: "Thank you, General, I understand."

It would be a fool not to take this kind of benefit for nothing, not to mention that it was arranged by the emperor. Afterwards, the emperor endorsed Li Xin, and no one could find fault with him.

Ye Ming took a sip of tea, looked up at Li Xin, and said in a calm voice, "In this military exploit, the Habayashi Guards will inevitably die. Lieutenant Li must be mentally prepared, and Lieutenant Li just took them for a short time. , Be careful not to make your subordinates timid."

Li Xin took a deep breath and said: "General, don't worry, none of the Habayashi brothers under my command are from aristocratic families. They are all Habayashi orphans selected from the Habayashi Guard. They can be regarded as the elite of the Habayashi Guard. Although I haven't been on the battlefield seriously, I won't run anyway."

Ye Ming nodded: "That's good. The Habayashi guards have knives, armor, bows and crossbows. I won't give you any equipment. When Can Zhou attacks, our Northern Army battalion will support you at any time. Let you suffer too much."

Li Xin got up, bowed his head and cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, General, for your support."

Ye Ming shook his head and said: "It's not that the general will support you, but His Majesty wants the general to support you. Otherwise, the credit for this general will not be enough for the people under the general, and it is impossible to fall on your head."

Having said that, the Emperor Chengde is thousands of miles away, and Ye Ming has the final say on the Jimen Pass. He can carry out the instructions of the Emperor Chengde meticulously, which can be regarded as showing goodwill to Li Xin.

Ye Ming squinted his eyes and smiled: "Lieutenant Li and those brothers of Habayashi Wei will rest in Beichuan Town for a day today, and they can set off to the west tomorrow morning. It is estimated that after walking for two days, they will just meet It’s time for the Remnant Zhou forces.”

Li Xin bent towards Zhong Ming and cupped his fists: "Thank you, General."

Ye Ming waved his hand: "Okay, Lieutenant Li is also tired, let's go down and rest."

Just as Li Xin was about to turn around, he suddenly remembered the entrustment of the Seventh Prince. He turned back and clasped his fists at Ye Ming and said, "General, according to His Majesty's instructions, this batch of spirits is a hundred altars. It has probably been counted at this time, but the low-ranking ones I brought dozens of jars with me, and when I leave, I will leave 25 jars of spirits behind, which can be regarded as a gift for the general."

Ye Ming squinted his eyes and said with a chuckle: "Is this from His Royal Highness Wei Wang, or from your Captain Li?"

Ye Ming's son, Ye Mao, can befriend the Seventh Prince because Ye Mao doesn't have any military power in him. In anyone's eyes, it's just a small fight, at most it's just a personal relationship, but a general like Ye Ming who holds a heavy army , is not allowed to have private contacts with any prince.

Now, if Li Xin said it was a gift from the Seventh Prince, Ye Ming would probably not want it.

Li Xin hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Take it as Li Xin, and thank the general for his support."

General Ye chuckled: "Since Lieutenant Li has good intentions, I will accept it."

Li Xin let out a long sigh of relief.
