Chapter 127 126 Someone wants to be promoted
The fleet was close to Jiujiang Wharf, and the situation on the ship was clearly seen in the eyes of everyone on the shore. Although Wei Guangde could not stand in the front row, he also found a good position and squeezed together with Zhang Hongfu and several other children of the garrison station to wait for the fleet to dock.
The first big boat was on the front, and the bow was full of people, all covered in bright armor, which was extremely majestic.
Wei Guangde knew that the fat man standing in front was the commander of Jiujiang Guard. Zhang Qing and Zhang Tongzhi, whom he knew, were just standing behind him. Although he was old, he was wearing armor at this moment.
Well, perhaps in order to show the military power of Jiujiang Guards, the commanders of these guards did not wear their own official uniforms, but instead replaced them with armor.
Fortunately, Wei Guangde had good eyesight in this life and was not injured by reading books. However, even so, Wei Guangde took a lot of effort to see his uncle Wu Zhankui behind the commander of the guard. Later, Wei Guangde couldn't see clearly, and he didn't know if his father was on this boat.
Colorful flags were waving on the shore, drums and music were noisy, and people on the shore cheered from time to time, and they didn't know what they were cheering.
Wei Guangde looked back inadvertently, then looked back at the several large ships approaching in front of him, but he didn't understand what those people saw.
"Good, why do you seem to have changed into new battle suits?"
A child from a ward next to him suddenly spoke.
After being reminded, Wei Guangde and others also paid attention to the soldiers on the ship. They were all wearing brand new red war jackets and standard military uniforms of the Ming Dynasty Guards.
This is the official base to welcome him. The big ships quickly moved closer to this side. Wei Guangde also noticed that the soldiers on these ships were not only brand new battle jackets, but also majestic. He didn't want ordinary soldiers at first glance.
You know, those soldiers are not full of food on weekdays. Not to mention the meat and fish that they see, they will not be as strong as the soldiers on these ships.
"The people on these ships are afraid that they are all the generals and personal soldiers below."
Zhang Hongfu stared at the boat for a while and said.
"It should be that the ship over there is probably the group of war soldiers."
Someone next to him answered.
Wei Guangde also noticed that there were four boats leaning towards this side, and nearly twenty other boats were leaning towards the dock next to it. Although the soldiers on the boat were all wearing brand new military uniforms, they seemed not strong.
The greeting officials began to slowly move forward, and with the sound of the hull colliding with the dock, four large ships steadily docked.
Soon a few pedals were placed on the boat. The fat commander of Jiujiang Guard took the lead, and the other commanders, Qianhu, followed him and walked quickly towards the greeting officials.
It was not until this time that Wei Guangde saw his father in the crowd who had disembarked, and he was still among the crowd of hundreds of households.
The Jiujiang Guard officials who went to Zhejiang this time came out of the first level of the guard command. All six went there. Thousands of households and thousands of households went there, and only ten were ten people in a hundred households. But there were also the personal soldiers of these people inside, and more than a hundred people were disembarked.
Soon, Wei Guangde saw Commander Wei and the officials who came to greet him. The distance was far, and Wei Guangde didn't know what they said. Anyway, the sound of drums and music was much louder than before, which made his eardrums hurt.
When he saw Wei Meng, Wei Guangde waved his hand hard, but he didn't know if his father saw it, but he didn't have the chance to pass right away and they were blocked outside.
The civil and military officials were together and didn't know what they said, so soon they got into the sedan chair and rode their horses toward the city.
"This is going to have a welcoming banquet."
Among the officials in that line, only Zhang Shigui was there. Zhang Fugui seemed to be unable to get over, and he didn't know where he was at this time.
Wei Guangde was a little disappointed. Seeing his father, he couldn't get through and could only watch from a distance.
At this time, several teams of soldiers who came down from the more than ten large ships next to him had already gathered and began to advance towards the military camp in the city.
Wei Guangde only took a look and could easily see that the two hundred households in the Thousand Households of the Right Army were no exception, and the queues were much more neat than the surrounding ones.
"Is this the team of the Qianhu Institute of the Right Army?"
As the queue passed by where they were standing, Zhang Hongfu asked with wide eyes.
The young men next to him were also amazed, "The queue is really neat, how can I practice this?"
"I heard that the two hundred households of the Thousand Houses of the Right Army have withstood the siege of more than 200 Japanese pirates."
"I heard that, and defeated that group of Japanese pirates."
Wei Guangde was a little proud at this moment. Just kidding, he was the one who led the team.
In the past, the Ming army's training is more about contacting the soldiers to master weapons such as swords and guns and arrange troops, which means knowing where they stand.
The marching queue is not in the Ming army's teachings. Just line up and go casually. Just hold your head up and show the spirit of a soldier.
When ten hundred households left here, the difference between good and bad is obvious.
"Why are your Right Army so many muskets?"
At this time, when they got closer, the other few people found that in the two hundred-household teams of the Thousand Households of the Right Army, many of them were holding weapons such as swords and guns, but tube-shaped weapons.
It is natural that people in the ward station can easily guess that these tubular weapons are definitely not sticks, they are only firearms.
These children of the ward are familiar with firearms, but they have never seen such things.
"The musket is called the bird gun. It was newly built in Nanjing. It was transferred to the garrison for trial two years ago."
Zhang Hongfu responded now.
"Absolutely, let's go back to the city, everyone has seen it."
Someone said.
"Let's go, let's find a restaurant to have a drink."
Zhang Hongfu said with a smile.
"Why are there so many people? Who are they?"
Following the queue at the end, Wei Guangde said to the vast crowd on both sides.
"The common people may still have some military families."
When the team ahead passed by, you could see people on both sides constantly waving, as if you saw your relatives in the team.
"It's nothing on weekdays. Today, the army has returned to the city and it has spread in the city. Those who are fine have not gathered here to see what's strange."
"In the past, there were so many big-headed soldiers who were not trained in the military camp, and they would never be seen outside."
"Haha, the Nanjing Ministry of War has been generous and has transferred so many new battle coats."
Zhang Hongfu said with a smile, "I don't know how much money I allocated to reward this time. Our Jiujiang Guard won the battle in Zhejiang."
"I heard that the commander of the guard may be promoted, do you know?"
Suddenly someone interrupted.
Wei Guangde was shocked when he heard this. If Commander of the Guard was to be promoted, Zhang Qing would not be able to calm down if he had not competed with another co-master for the Commander's position.
