Chapter 135 Strategies for Raising the Army

The distance between the Tanggu and Yannan battlefields is not far, but there are two walls separating them, and the Liao people are temporarily unable to attack, so this small world seems to be extremely calm, and the chaos caused by the arrival of the army in Xiongzhou is simply like an abyss. Walking on the streets of Tanggu, it is not like being on the border of Song and Liao, but like being in a prosperous commercial town in the south of the Yangtze River.

The urban layout of Tanggu is generally modeled after Jinmen and slightly changed, there are both shops for bulk transactions in the market, but also large and small teahouse restaurants, Tongfu Restaurant, which has only been completed for less than a month, is the largest of them, it is said that although the owner of this restaurant is surnamed Li, there is actually the power of Liu Jie, a big businessman of the Han Dynasty, behind it.

Seed Yansong is the son of everyone, the perennial activities of Shaanxi, Luoyang in this era of economic has been quite dilapidated, so the behavior and dress are not very in line with the new trend of the coast, to the commercial core area of Tanggu, and the surrounding people compared to a bit like the rural landowner into the city. But after all, he is behind the gate, and he has a self-esteem and a temperament that makes people dare not underestimate him.

Kind of Yansong walked into the door accompanied by Chongfu, and there was already a well-dressed little two running up to say hello, I heard that it was about Lin Gongzi, and the waist couldn't help but be more than two points, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant heard the news, and personally led the kind of Yansong upstairs through the hall and came to the small east wall attic. This attic is located on the top floor of Tongfu Restaurant, there is a balcony facing southeast, you can watch the tide from afar, it is the top room number that Tongfu Restaurant easily refuses to open, usually even if you have money, you may not be able to book, but this time it is the Lin family who is the boss, and the owner of the restaurant naturally wants to take out the most proud Yajing room to entertain.

There are two doors inside and outside the attic of the small east wall, and between the doors is the entrance, and the shopkeeper bowed in the entrance and pointed to the inner door and retreated. Chong Yansong pushed open the carved door, there is a curtain of glass curtain behind the door, open the glass curtain, the ground is covered with the style of the western regions of southern Liaoning Feitian embroidered carpet, there is a sandalwood round table in the center, a few refreshments on the table, a man in white on the other side of the table is sitting by the window, looking into the distance.

Seeing that the other party was not accompanied by others, Chong Fu pulled Chong Yansong's cuffs and said, "The old slave is waiting outside the door." ”

After he went out, the man in white heard the voice and turned around, got up and smiled: "Seed? Fujian white-clothed Lin Ling has lost his welcome, forgive his sins, forgive his sins. ”

Chong Yansong was stunned for a while, and said in his heart: "It is said that the characters in the south are beautiful, and sure enough, it is true." The appearance and voice are so gentle, like a girl. Raise his hand and call him "Lin Gongzi". Somehow, I felt a little uncomfortable.

Although Lin Ling was only in his twenties at this time, he was young and in charge, and he dealt with either the political tycoons of the North China Sea or the wealthy businessmen of the East China Sea, so his bearing and knowledge were very extraordinary. The handover between people will be divided into high and low because of IQ, identity, bearing, and knowledge, the higher one looks down like an eagle bowing his head, and the lower one looks up like a woodcutter looking at the mountain at the foot of the mountain, and can only see a corner of it. Therefore, Chong Yansong couldn't see through Lin Ling's depth, but Lin Ling only glanced at him and said in his heart: "This young man is still tender, most of them have a deep family shade, lack of hardships, and it takes more experience to become a big tool." But he kept smiling all the time.

If it is an old fox like Liu Jie and Zhao Lumin, talking about business with people can talk endlessly for a long time without a word related to the topic, but Chong Yansong didn't have the effort, and asked in a daze without saying a few words: "Lin Gongzi is invited this time, do you have any advice?" ”

Lin Ling smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, the seed family is the Great Wall in the northwest of my Great Song Dynasty, and the prestige of the small seed is also thunderous here for us small businessmen, but we have been active in the southeast, and we have no chance to see the tiger power, I just came to Tanggu today to do some business, I heard that the young master Sun of the seed is actually in Tanggu, and I thought that although I couldn't see the seed of the father, seeing the seed of the prince can also be regarded as a comfort to my admiration for many years." ”

Chong Yansong sighed, thinking only about how to lead the topic to military salaries, but he didn't know how to speak, Lin Ling saw him like this, and asked: "I heard that Gongzi was recuperating in Tanggu, and now it seems that his health has long been better, but I don't know whether he is preparing to go south, or does he intend to stay in the north to make contributions?" ”

Chong Yansong said: "I still have some things here, and I won't go back for the time being." ”

Lin Ling sighed and said, "Is it related to the Great Song Dynasty's attack on Yanyun?" ”

Chong Yansong hesitated for a while, such a military event should not be discussed with a businessman, but now that he has a request for others, he has to say, and said at the moment: "I have now received a team of men and horses in Tanggu, and I will only wait for Wang Shi to go north again and raise troops accordingly." ”

Lin Ling was overjoyed and said, "I see! I heard that the last Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty was not very smooth, and although we were in the East China Sea, we were also worried. It's a pity that there is no courage in both fists, and he can't go to the battlefield, so he can only be nervous in the rear, unlike a talented man like a kind of son, who can swing a knife and go on the horse to kill the enemy and serve the country. ”

Although Chong Yansong is young and careless, he still has self-knowledge, and he was ashamed to hear these words: "What do you say about being a talented general, when I was a child, I often dreamed of raising troops like my grandfather, and now I am in charge of an army alone to know the difficulties of being a general." What dare not be called a talent, I just hope that I don't lose my grandfather's face too much. ”

Lin Ling was surprised: "What is the dilemma of the seed master?" ”

Chong Yansong sighed: "Now my team has not yet been recognized by the imperial court, and I have no support in Tanggu. Although there is a temporary help from the Han Ministry, it is not a long-term strategy after all. The issue of military salaries cannot be solved, and it is only a matter of time before this group is disbanded. ”

Lin Ling sighed and said, "It turns out that the seed is worried about military salaries. Since ancient times, there has been a way to fight wars, and the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. Didn't the door of the famous generals of the family teach some methods of raising troops? ”

Chong Yansong said: "There are three ways to raise an army, one is to be supported by the imperial court, the second is to collect, and the third is to plunder. Now that I have not been able to be maintained by the imperial court, I have not had a territory to collect, and I am not willing to plunder, how can I plan to raise an army? ”

Lin Ling pondered for a moment and asked, "I don't know how many people are under the seed master?" Where are they stationed today? ”

Chong Yansong's heart moved, thinking that the other party asked so much if he intended to help? He said: "Just outside Tanggu City, there are about 1,000." ”

Lin Ling asked again: "Does the Han Ministry support the action of the seed master?" ”

Chong Yansong said happily: "General Ouyang and Lord Deng are very kind to my Great Song, if it weren't for their help, how could I support me until now?" ”

Lin Ling stroked his palm and said, "That's it." Lin Ling has a way to make the breeder raise thousands of troops and thousands of horses fat. ”

Chong Yansong was overjoyed and asked, "What way?" ”

Lin Ling said: "The origin of wealth is in people, and the source of wealth is in the ground. ”

Chong Yansong said: "This person can be regarded as having a thousand soldiers and horses. But where is the land? ”

Lin Ling said with a smile: "Isn't the place where the seed is stationed now a large piece of ownerless open space? ”

Chong Yansong shook his head and said, "Is Lin Gongzi talking about the place between the two walls?" There will be infestation by the Liao people from time to time, how to make a profit? ”

Lin Ling smiled: "Isn't there a soldier and horse in the hands of the seed boy?" If the seed son can repel the attack of the Liao people, then the land between the two walls will become the source of the seed son's wealth! ”

Chong Yansong was touched by Lin Ling's point, and his heart suddenly brightened, and he faintly saw a broad road to raising the army and improving himself.
