The general's wife is sick

As Xiong Jinghai and Ji Liu guessed, Cheng Rulin, the general on the east coast, had a lot of headaches when faced with the Queen Mother's sudden kindness.

In his letter, Xiong Jinghai bluntly said that these soldiers are good brothers who have fought with him. They have been friends for more than ten years. They are all brave and fearless warriors who dare to kill and fight. I hope he can take care of them a little bit more.

The contents of this letter apparently indicated that Xiong Jinghai wanted Cheng Rulin to take care of these people more, but Cheng Rulin realized after careful inspection that it was telling him in a roundabout way that these people were his direct descendants of Xiong Jinghai and they were fighting with him Those who wanted to win them over had to rest their minds as soon as possible.

"What nonsense!" Cheng Rulin crumpled up the letter Xiong Jinghai had given him, threw it under his feet, and stepped on it in disbelief.

The captain next to him was surnamed Lin, surnamed Linkushin, and he was born with a good-looking talent. Compared with other soldiers, this man had a fair face, more like a scholar, and his temperament was similar to Ma Menxi.

He asked, "Why did the general get so angry?"

Cheng Rulin said angrily, "Xiong Jinghai is a treacherous villain. The 5 horses he gave me are all his direct descendants. How can I use this?"

Linkushin smiled and said, "Everyone says that Xiong Jinghai relied on his parents to obtain his current general status, but according to his subordinates, he is a rare general with a strong military mind. No one dares to resist the orders of the Empress Dowager. But the Empress Dowager's order did not require him not to send his direct descendants here. Not only did he obey the Empress Dowager's order, but he also disgusted you, this man is really a military genius!"

"Old Lin, which side are you on?" Cheng Rulin raised his beard in anger.

"Don't be angry, general, do you really intend to use his troops?" Linkushin asked him back.

Cheng Rulin gritted his teeth angrily, "Although I didn't intend to use it at first, but he's teasing me like this, I just can't swallow it!"

"General, calm down. Getting angry is not the solution to the problem. If you want to get out of this bad breath, you need to think of other ways."

"Do you have a good idea?"

"People always come up with solutions!"

The development of things was not always satisfactory. Linkushin hadn't figured out any way to subdue the Northwest Army, but discovered something unusual in the army.

After the arrival of the Northwest Army, people in the Coastal Army became unstable. In the past, the soldiers on the East Coast would hang around the streets after their drills, enjoying the joy brought by the modest military pay.

But after they got together with the Northwest Army, these soldiers started to complain.

The cause of the matter is this.

The Northwest Army is not used to the smell of the sea breeze. In their nostrils, they always feel that the sea breeze blows the stench of rotting fish, shrimp and crabs. Therefore, as long as they smell the sea breeze, some people vomit continuously.Some just stand on the beach and watch the waves rushing to the shore one after another, and the tall and tall bodies will become dizzy uncontrollably, swaying back and forth with the waves, this is wave sickness.Some soldiers did not respond to the sea, but were not used to the weather here. In winter on the east coast, there are no stoves, and the clothes are relatively thin. It was like being able to get into the bones through the quilt, which made the Northwest man feel no joy in his whole body.

As a result, a large number of Northwest Army soldiers fell ill in the barracks, and the east coast stuck to the coastline. There has never been a large-scale war here. The military doctors in the barracks usually only see headaches, brain fever, and minor problems of eating the wrong food.

As soon as the Northwest Army fell ill in large numbers, the military doctors were not enough, and all the tired military doctors wanted to lie down by themselves!

This scene made Cheng Rulin, who was already unhappy, even more anxious. Lin Kuxin never thought that the reaction of these people would be so great. Looking at the Northwest soldiers who are far larger than the southerners, they are all so powerful that they are actually not as good as a child. !

"It's really annoying. It's fine if these people can't be used, but they are half sick. Is Xiong Jinghai going to use them to use up my military salary!"

Due to the shortage of military doctors, Cheng Rulin urgently mobilized literate soldiers in the army to help in the sick account. It was this decision that made the army unstable.

Although the big men in the Northwest fell down, their mouths did not fall down, they could not see the sea, and they were not dizzy. They had the strength to speak.

The accent problem in the north and the south can't be a communication barrier. Cheng Rulin's army soldiers also come from all over the south. Some soldiers have a lighter southern accent.

"Let me tell you, our steamed buns are all this big." The Northwest Army shook the steamed buns sent by the Coastal Army with its hands, and gestured with both hands the size of a Northwest mutton steamed bun, "Who would have thought of your steamed stuffed buns?" They are all so small, how much do you have to eat to keep you full?"

"Can you finish eating such a big bun?" The coastal army was also surprised, he had never seen a bun that big.

"Enough to eat, are you?" The Northwest Army man stretched out his finger, gestured a five, and removed the "?"! I can eat five in one meal, and it's not a big bowl of porridge!"

"Scared!" The coastal army was taken aback, "Eat five? But the mutton is not very fishy, ​​can it be eaten as buns?"

"Hey!" The Northwest man laughed, "I don't think your stuffing with fish and sea vegetables smells fishy, ​​but you think our mutton buns are not delicious?"

"Let me tell you, Northwest not only has big stuffed mutton buns that ooze oil when you bite into them, we also have soy milk, tofu nao, deep-fried dough sticks, spicy rabbit heads, boiled pork slices, and spicy hot pot."

"What's that?" The coastal army looked at him curiously.

The Northwest Army smacked his lips, "That dish is delicious. It's made with chili peppers. Even if it's snowing outside, it's still hot enough to make your mouth burn and sweat. But I've only eaten it once, and the dish is too expensive. , I am not willing to eat by myself, next time I will take my wife and children with me."

"never heard of that."

"Chili is only available in our place!"

"Does it snow in your place in winter? Is it big?"

"Go down, it's so big that you can't find where your head is when you step on the air!"

The coastal army showed a surprised expression again, "Can you bury people?"

"When it's snowing heavily, we don't go out, for fear of dying outside!" The Northwest Army still has lingering fears when thinking of the heavy snow all over the sky.

"I heard that there are often bandits harassing your place. If you don't go out, what if they sneak up?"

"Sneak attack? There is even more snow on the grassland! As long as the cattle and sheep are lost, they will definitely be frozen into ice when they are found again! If they dare to come in heavy snow, they will die on the grassland without our help." !"

There were exclamations one after another in the sick tent, until a coast army couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked about the salary of the Northwest Army.

This time it was the turn of both parties to be shocked!

"You have so much money a month?!"

"You only have that little money a month?!"

After being shocked, the Northwest Dahan thought for a while, "Speaking of it, we didn't have many there before, and it only increased this year."

The coastal army's eyes were red with jealousy, "We are both soldiers, why do you pay so much for the army!"

"I don't know, maybe it's because we often have wars there?" The Northwest Army threw away this unreasonable topic and continued, "Not only do we have a lot of military pay, but we also eat good food. Every now and then, we have beef and mutton stew, steamed buns and pancakes. Limited quantity, now our general's wife also raises rabbits from a rabbit farm, and we can often eat whole rabbits, a whole one, so fat!"

Besides, the coastal army is about to cry!

"In our place, there were chilblains on hands, feet and ears. The ointment for chilblains was made by our general's wife. Our soldiers with chilblains each had a bottle, and they rubbed it on when it hurts. I was very careful. My chilblains were all good. Yes, but I am not willing to give the ointment to others."

Seeing that the coastal army was about to be driven away, the big man in the northwest grabbed him, and with a little force on his hand, he couldn't move.

"Don't go, aren't we chatting vigorously, listen to me!"

Unable to walk, the Coast Army sat down again to listen to his vernacular, his face was full of anger.

"Our Yingkou was originally a small place, and there were often prairie bandits, but since the general brought his wife with the army, our Yingkou has undergone a particularly big change. Now the city is divided into an inner city and an outer city, and the outer city is full of water. My son’s workshop has everything, such as refining soybean oil, brewing fragrant wine, making boots, and spinning hemp rope. Oh, my wife works in the workshop. She is beautiful and weak. At first, I thought that such a person, which workshop can get it, but guess what?"

The Northwest Army deliberately paused, wanting to see the reaction of the Coastal Army, but they were hit one after another, and the Coastal Army had already lost its original surprise.But the Northwest Army didn't care whether he answered or not, because whether he answered or not, he could continue talking.

"Hey, there is really a small and delicate female worker who the workshop says is going to be born like this. All of them wrap charcoal pencils in the workshop. Do you know charcoal pencils? Oh, you don't know, let me tell you! I’m not tired, just wrap the burnt black charcoal with processed hemp leaves, this is a novelty! The finished charcoal pens are sent to Yingkou Academy in our city for children to write. The academy accepts all the children from Yingkou and other villages and towns, and there is no money for board, lodging or school!"

Speaking of this, the coastal army showed a shocked expression again, "Don't deceive me! Can all children go to the academy?"

"Yes, why can't!" The Coastal Army had an expression, and the Northwest Army started again, "I didn't tell a lie, if you don't believe me, you can ask other people!"

"It's really nice where you are!"

Private schools are very expensive no matter where they are located, and they have to pay for their husbands every month when they go to school, but the children in the Northwest don't need a penny for their studies, not only don't they don't, they also include room and board!

A heartfelt sentence made the Northwest man, who was eloquent and eloquent, look lonely, "Yes, that's great."

It's a pity that he has already come to the east coast. Otherwise, with his wife's working money plus his own military salary, not to mention the rich life of the young life, it can also be said that food and clothing are not worrying about, and the children don't have to worry about it. The beautiful days just came In the beginning, he was transferred to the seaside by an imperial edict from the queen mother, and he was still lying in bed all day long, feeling dizzy from the cold, and suffering from this old crime!

Lying back on the bed again, curled up in the quilt, the Northwest Army secretly cursed, "It's so cold!"
