Circle five times
Several generals were stunned, and they all heard the complaint in Yang Liangjie's words. In the eyes of everyone, this uncle belongs to a typical role of Zhida and talent. For this kind of straw bale, everyone also throws it away after using it. There are many times to fool, and there are few times to truly respect. When Uncle Yang said these words today, he was obviously dissatisfied with everyone's past actions, and the organic spirit man hurriedly stepped forward to explain, "My lord, where are these words, I have always been only adults, no, only adults and the emperor are the first to look forward." My lord's words are what the emperor meant, no matter how stupid I am, don't you understand this truth! ”
"You know how to wait. Lord Zhai, half a month ago, I wanted you to take the initiative to ask Ying to exterminate the bandits between Enzhou and Gaozhou, and open up the grain collection route to the four coastal states for the imperial court, and gave you a few looks, you seem to be asleep! Yang Liangjie sneered and debunked everyone's lies.
"I, I, I really didn't see it at the time!" Gaozhou Town Envoy Zhai Liang blushed and stammered to explain. finally understood why Yang Liangjie and other relatives sat idly by and ignored the reason why Zhang Shijie had recently cut off the military power of everyone.
"You thoughts, I know!" Yang Liangjie paused, and added earnestly, "In troubled times, the soldiers in their hands are the foundation of life-saving, so no one wants to hand over their brothers to others. But now that the Great Song Dynasty is about to rise, you will not make some contributions, and you will not show more loyalty to the royal family, so how can I help you speak in front of the Queen Mother. Why can't I say, 'Queen Mother, so-and-so has a lot of soldiers in his hands, if he doesn't give him some benefits, he will support the army to rebel, or take refuge in the Northern Yuan'! ”
A huge wave hit the reef and thundered, rolling up a thousand piles of snow.
In the pavilion, everyone's faces were also snow-white in an instant. Some people have not moved their minds to take refuge in Beiyuan, but the price offered by the other party is too low, and now is not the best time to surrender. followed the Great Song Dynasty to mix, and I couldn't see any light. Xingchao did land and station, but it was still dull, and the strength of the internal struggle was greater than the determination to resist to the end. Taking refuge in Wen Tianxiang is a way out, but, first, people may not be willing to accept it. Second, the rules of the captive army are strict, and it is inevitable that they will rush to the front line when they go. I can't guarantee it, I didn't get the benefits, but my life was taken in.
Thinking of this, several generals put down their cups at the same time, bowed down, and defended loudly: "Lord Yang's words are serious, we are not willing to fight, it is not that we are disloyal to the imperial court, but that the soldiers and armor are not even, and we are unable to fight!" ”
"Yes, yes, my lord, we have always been loyal to my lords. But as you know, my lord, my subordinates are all van soldiers, holding such crude weapons to suppress bandits, in case there is a mistake, isn't it purely a shame for the court! Zhai Liang begged for mercy while making a gesture.
This is also the truth, in the three hundred years of the Great Song Dynasty, Wen Tian was martial and playful, and he has always been compromised to the outside world. Internally, be careful and vigilant, even the armament of the forbidden army is very lax, not to mention the box army! And for the past two years, Xing Chao has been chased by the Tartars, where is there time to replenish the weapons and armor? And to let the Xiang army with sticks and bamboo spears fight with the Mongolian warriors and Han troops armed to the teeth, it is tantamount to sending them to death.
"My lord, you also know that the strong bow of the Mongols can shoot at a range of two or three hundred paces, and it is good that our bamboo bow can shoot fifty or sixty steps. Before he could get closer, he was shot half of them first. Besides, people are Luo Quanjia, and it is difficult to enter without a crossbow. We are dressed in cloth, and we will leak when we poke it. People have maces, but we only have Tianling Gai..."Some people complained aggrievedly and put the difficulties in front of Yang Liangjie.
"Enough, enough!" Yang Liangjie listened impatiently, and with a wave of his hand, he interrupted everyone's words. "Hmph, Yang won't mention the past for the time being. Today, Yang is here to ask everyone, if you can ask for the magic weapon from Wen Tianxiang, what will you plan in the future? ”
"I am willing to accept the dispatch of Lord Yang, and we will do whatever Lord Yang tells us to do!" Sun Anpu was the first to react, waving his arms and shouting.
"I am willing to be sent by my lord to go to the soup and fight the fire, and I will not give up!" Everyone saluted at the same time and expressed their allegiance to Yang Liangjie.
Now it is no more than half a year ago, when the Great Song Dynasty was in danger, no matter Zhang Shijie and the Yang family, they did not dare to make things too difficult for the accompanying generals of the Xiang Army. I am afraid that the slightest lack of words will stimulate everyone to the side of the Northern Yuan. Now that the Great Song Dynasty has regained its foothold, these generals of the Xiang Army seem dispensable and not so important.
After figuring out this layer, there is nothing difficult to do next. It is nothing more than a choice between the two factions of the DPRK and China, Zhang Shijie and his relative Yang clique. Zhang Shijie's weapons are a little narrow-minded, and he himself is a general who can fight habitually, so he can't look down on everyone in his eyes, and he can't get any benefit from following him. Instead, he chose the Lord Yang in front of him to be more down-to-earth, at least he wouldn't be able to fight, and if he wanted to make a contribution, he had to be helped by everyone.
"If you follow me, I will not give you any loss. Now that the opportunity for the revival of the Great Song Dynasty has arrived, if I become a hero to assist His Royal Highness and Lin'an, everyone will have to hang a seal and seal the marquis! Yang Liangjie saw that everyone was obedient, slowed down his tone, and began to make a wish out of thin air.
"That's, that's, following Lord Yang, naturally there are benefits for everyone!" Sun Anpu jumped out again and took the lead in agreeing.
Yang Liangjie glanced at this guy who looked like a boy with appreciation, and secretly praised in his heart, this kid is quite clever, and he didn't save him once in vain. The smile on his face was even stronger, pointing to the rivers and mountains in the wind and rain and said: "The Northern Yuan swept the world, relying on tens of thousands of Mongolian iron horses. The three main Mongolian armies that were rampaging in Jiangnan that year, Page Mishi and Suo Du were all captured by us, and Da Chun was already frightened, trapped in Jiangnan West Road and did not dare to come out. The three main forces are gone, who else dares to resist the Great Song Heavenly Soldiers! Just wait for the coming spring, this annoying rain has stopped, everyone is equipped with strong crossbow artillery, all the way to the past, and the mountains and rivers of the Great Song Dynasty are just around the corner! ”
"Your Excellency!" The generals agreed in a haphazard manner. I may not agree with Yang Liangjie's opinion, but I am unwilling to pierce his good dreams. Besides, behind this person, Zhang Shijie and Lu Xiufu have the intention to trouble everyone, pursue some old things, and have some squeezers.
"My subordinates are foolish, I don't know where the artillery and crossbow that the adults said came from. How can Prime Minister Wen be willing to put a sharp weapon with both hands! A discordant voice sounded in the midst of the praise. Everyone looked back and saw the bearded Chen Bao bowing down and making a gesture of asking for advice.
"What's so difficult about this, do you remember what Lord Zhang and Lord Lu sent to do on the night of the killing of Suodu in Wenpu Mountain?"
Yang Liangjie knew that it would not be so easy to subdue these generals for his own use, so he simply put the old bottom together. Now in the court, Zhang Shijie and Lu Xiufu are getting more and more powerful, and their relatives have to look at people's faces everywhere. Since Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Shijie have never been on good terms, why didn't the Yang family make some fuss about it and take the opportunity to seize some scattered military power in their hands. No matter how loyal a courtier is, he can't be loyal to his relatives.
"Did you say that killing night?" A lot of people have changed their faces again. They prefer to forget the events of that night, when someone used the name of the emperor to order everyone to eliminate traitors for the country. And that traitor is the famous Prime Minister Wen.
The Broken Prisoners were scattered in various battalions, and there was only one guard battalion outside Wen Tianxiang's tent, with more than 400 people defending. Kill him, and you can take all his troops and firmly control the production and use of weapons.
The Song army surrounded Suodu, and Da Chun tried to surround the Song army, while the Song army was internal, and at the same time divided his troops to surround his own prime minister. Enclosure, ring after ring, everywhere is the enclosure of traps.
If it weren't for the fact that someone couldn't bear it that night, they secretly leaked the news to the Broken Army, so that Wen Tianxiang's guard battalion was fully prepared in advance. If it weren't for that night, Lord Lu decided to persuade Wen Tianxiang again and give him a chance to live, but found that the Broken Army had already prepared countermeasures for the infighting. If it weren't for the fact that Da Chun's men and horses were already approaching, and after killing Wen Tianxiang, they would have to be attacked by Da Chun and Suo Du back and forth, no one would dare to speculate what would have happened that day! With the combat effectiveness of the Broken Army and the Yuan Army, how many people in the pavilion still have their lives standing here.
"Moonlight Murder Night!" Yang Liang slapped the pavilion pillar and sighed, "Wen Tianxiang is disloyal to the emperor, but his crime is not good. Zhang Shijie said that he wanted to eliminate traitors for the country, but in fact, he was just an excuse to annex Wen Tianxiang's subordinates. Now that Wen Tianxiang has escaped safely, how can he not have a bad heart. We joined forces, secretly, to encourage those officials to impeach Wen Tianxiang, Mingli, and then desperately speak for him, and join hands to contain Zhang Shijie. He can destroy the army without remembering the kindness of us. Friendship has arrived, this weapon ......?"
After the annihilation of Suodu, the Broken Army, which found that the situation had changed, quickly gathered and returned north in the name of pursuing Liu Shen, and did not even participate in the celebration banquet held by the army to kill Suodu. Wang Laoshi, who personally beheaded Suodu, was even more excessive, and he actually did not accept the promotion of Zhang Shijie and Lu Xiufu, refused the title of Chengxuan envoy, and continued to return to the Broken Army to be his battalion.
After that, if there was a tacit understanding between the Broken Army and the headquarters of the Xing Dynasty, one side controlled most of Fujian, and the other side controlled most of Guangnan, and Zhangzhou and Chaozhou between Guangnan and Fujian were lost to Mrs. Xu, the envoy of the Xing Song Army.
Now, although the army nominally recognized the rule of the imperial court, it implemented another set of governance measures with great fanfare. Although he kept his promise to provide the court with strong crossbows and firearms, no one accepted the court's seal. According to the report of the spies who came back, even the civil ministers and military generals over there have been re-established, as if it was already a semi-independent small court.
A discerning person will know the subtlety at a glance.
"Amazing plan! Adults! Everyone praised each other and admired Yang Liangjie so much. provoked the contradiction between Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Shijie, and then profited from it. In this way, it not only restrained Zhang Shijie and made him unable to start all kinds of measures to reorganize the army, but also made the broken army become foreign aid for everyone, killing many birds with one stone.
"Boom!" Several large waves hit one after the other and hit the reef outside the gazebo. The reef staggered as if it were about to be shattered.
In the pavilion, Yang Liangjie held the eight-treasure glass cup, his face was covered by the thick mist, but his eyes were cast on the waves. On the waves, dark clouds rolled, signaling a big storm to come.
In Guanyong Port, several huge sea ships docked at the pier. Lu Xiufu held an oil-paper umbrella and slowly walked up the trestle with a group of people dressed as civilians.
"Junshi, why don't you wait for the storm to pass before you set off. Anyway, there are still a lot of Mongolian strongbows captured in the Battle of Fujian, which is enough for us to reorganize an archery team!"
A broad and hoarse voice came from the shore, and the war horse of the Grand Governor Zhang Shijie followed the sound through the rain curtain. Jumping off the horse and throwing the reins to the personal guard, Zhang Shijie caught up in three steps and two steps, and his footsteps creaked on the trestle.
"Although the Mongolian strong bow is good, there are not many archers in my Great Song Dynasty who can draw a strong bow. Shao Wu and his entourage, the sooner the better. I just hope to learn the art of making crossbows, and form a complete crossbow team before the next attack of the Northern Yuan! Lu Xiufu looked back slowly, with an indescribable heaviness in his words.
In charge of the army, I know that it is difficult. In the first war of Fujian, the Xing Dynasty captured a lot. The range of the Mongolian good bow is no less than that of the steel crossbow of the captive army. However, most of the sergeants and soldiers in the army are Jiangnan people, and their arm length and arm strength are limited, and with high-quality bows and arrows, they cannot exert their power.
In order to show his loyalty to the imperial court, Wen Tianxiang sent more than 400 steel crossbows as promised, and also sent sea ships to bring more than 20 artillery pieces. But after the establishment of the new army, Lu Xiufu and Zhang Shijie found that there was a huge gap between their dreams and reality.
The operation of the crossbow and artillery battalions requires a complete set of transport, management and supply measures to accompany them. It's not just weapons that make you invincible.
These need to be sent by the imperial court to learn from the army, otherwise, they will not be able to exert the power of the weapon at all. In addition, the supply of crossbow arrows and shells could not be controlled by people. Especially the shells, used up one less one. Once you run out, you have to ask for it from the Breakers. Last time, Du Gui, the chief financial officer there, said that the value of the cannonballs was used to offset the taxes that should be handed over to the imperial court in Fujian. If the Ministry of Industry can't achieve self-sufficiency immediately, next time he asks for it, maybe that Du Fat Man will reach out to the court to ask for money.
And at this time, the imperial court can't even pay a full amount of military salaries, where can I get this amount of money.
"Do you really want to go, after all, we were in the first place that day. If someone in the Broken Army takes the opportunity to retaliate, I'm afraid that Jun Shi will go, and I don't know when he will be able to return? Zhang Shijie took Lu Xiufu's hand and asked worriedly.
"Prime Minister Wen is open-minded and not a calculating person. Besides, it was we who misunderstood him that day, and we didn't deliberately force each other. If it were him, I would have done the same thing. This time, I went to Shaowu, one to learn how to make crossbows and cannons, and the other to apologize, and strive for the two armies to join hands again, and next spring, then fight a beautiful battle! Lu Xiufu smiled and motioned to his good friend to be relieved.
He was eager to arrive in Shaowu as soon as possible, not only so that the officials of the Ministry of Labor behind him could learn how to make weapons. He also wants to take this opportunity to see if he can pull Wen Tianxiang back on the wrong path.
In that deep conversation that day, Wen Tianxiang's words had a great impact on him. But after calming down, Lu Xiufu still found a lot of flaws, and he believed that since Wen Tianxiang was not deliberately rebelling, he pursued self-reliance as the emperor. I still have a chance to let Wen Tianxiang turn back as soon as possible with the Broken Army.
No matter how far Tianxiang has gone on the fork in the road, he is after all the Wen Songrui who has experienced nine deaths and is still selfless to the south.
"In this way, a certain family is here, waiting for the prime minister's good news!" Zhang Shijie knew that he couldn't persuade Lu Xiufu, so he let go of his hands, took a few steps back, and hugged his fists to send him off.
Lu Xiufu nodded, jumped on the deck, and waved goodbye to the people who came to see him off.
"Anchor!" The sailor in charge of delivering the order shouted at the top of his voice.
A few big men turned the winch and slowly pulled the boulder anchor up from the sea. The wooden sails are spread out, and the wind pushes the sea into the waves.
"The minister's heart is a magnetic needle, and he doesn't want to hate it!" Looking at the huge waves like a mountain, Lu Xiufu, who was standing at the bow of the boat, whispered.
It was a poem written by Wen Tianxiang, and that stubborn figure appeared in the depths of Lu Xiufu's mind again.
