Feeling that the foreshadowing was almost over, Li Luo said directly: "Dad, I want to recruit some Jurchens as village warriors." One is to solve the livelihood of some Jurchen brothers and help them tide over the difficulties. Second, I can also practice some useful village bravery. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? ”

More than 100 years ago, the Jurchens swallowed the Great Liao, destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, and established the Jin Kingdom, known as "the Jurchens are not satisfied with 10,000, and they cannot fight when they are full of 10,000", although it is exaggerated, but it also shows that the Jurchens at that time were indeed very strong. In fact, the Xianbei, Khitan, Xi, and Jurchen in the ancient Northeast were the best soldiers in the Cold Weapon Age because they were semi-nomadic and half-fishing and hunting peoples.

In ancient times, East Asia sent troops to Northeast China, Northwest China, Mongolia, Huaibei, Zhejiang, Xiangxi, Hebei, and Kyushu in Japan. Li Luo is now in Goryeo, and he can't count on any of these places, so he can only borrow a little Jurchen to use it first.

Yan Duo said: "Although there were many Jurchens in Jianghua Island, they were all scattered in various townships. There are only two or three hundred people who have settled in Mani Township, including old and young women and children, and only a few dozen people can be elite soldiers. ”

Are there only a few dozen of them? Li Luo asked, "Can't you recruit across townships?" ”

Yan Duo replied: "Xiangyong is not a regular official army, and the capital village can only be recruited in the villages under its jurisdiction, and cross-township recruitment is naturally an ultra vires move, and the capital villages of other townships will not agree." ”

Du Lie said: "Of course, it is a good thing to let some Jurchens have a full meal, I have thanked Brother Li first." However, I know that the Jurchen family in Mani Township knows that there are at most fifty people who can serve as soldiers, and any more will be indiscriminate. ”

Two or three hundred people can draw fifty people, which is already a high percentage.

Li Luo nodded, "Okay, then fifty people." Hengzhi These Jurchen brothers can eat enough, and I will definitely not treat them badly. ”

Yan Falcon suddenly said: "Uncle Li, count me in, I'll be your own soldier!" But I want meat to eat! ”

Du Lie glared at him, "You're so beautiful!" How old are you to want to be a soldier? ”

Li Luo smiled: "As long as you come, there will be meat to eat." In fact, his favorite is these tiger-like teenagers, whose blood is boiling, and newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

Yan Duo said to Li Luo: "If you want to be promoted by killing pirates, this is not enough, at least two or three hundred people must be successful." The Koreans are not good at war, so it is a way to use the Han people. ”

Han? Li Luo's eyes lit up. He was originally going to make great use of Han people, but he just wanted to hear what Yan Duo had to say.

Yan Duo continued: "When it comes to fighting, the Han people are much stronger than the Goryeo people. In particular, the Han people on Jianghua Island are all from Hebei and Lubei who crossed the sea, and they are mainly young and strong, so they can be regarded as good soldiers. Although you are a Korean, you were born and raised in the Central Plains, so you should not reject the Han people, right? ”

"Of course not, the kid is also half Han." Li Luo said with a smile, he rejects no one and will not exclude the Han people! "It's just that I don't know how many Han people have settled in Mani Township?"

Du Lie said: "As far as I know, there are fifteen Han families settled in Modongzhai. There are 12 villages in Mani Township, so there should be one or two hundred Han households, right? ”

Yan Duo said: "How many Han families don't know. But in fact, there are only eleven villages, because Mobei Village cannot be counted. ”

Du Lie slapped his forehead, "Yes, yes, Mobeizhai is the manor of the Liu family, and the population of the fields is all serfs of the Liu family's private property, so naturally they can't recruit troops in Mobeizhai." ”

What the? Li Luo didn't know this. An entire village is the private property of the Liu family? So he can only govern eleven villages in Mani Township?

Yan Duo saw that Li Luo's expression was a little ugly, and reminded: "Unless you have returned to the Li family, don't provoke the Liu family." If you offend the Liu family, it will be difficult for you to do this. Also, among these village leaders, there are many people who have taken refuge in the Liu family, and they may not listen to you, the top official. ”

Li Luo Xie said: "Thank you dad for reminding me." "I thought, it turns out that this capital village is really not easy to do.

It's the Liu family again!

This scum family will have to be eradicated one day.

Next, Li Luo said that he would go to Jianghua Mountain City to purchase a batch of grain, and asked Du Lie to escort him.

There's no way around it. He and Cui Xiu went to the mountain city with a large amount of money, and then came back with a large amount of food, which was really dangerous on the way.

Du Lie naturally agreed, and said that he would bring a few more Jurchen brothers to escort him.

In this place, if Li Luo didn't even dare to believe Yan Duo Dulie and the others, then there would be no one to use.

At least Cui Xiuning is also in favor. She is a policeman and is good at character and psychological analysis, and the character portraits of Yan Duo and Du Lie are trustworthy.

..........

The next day, the seventeenth day of the lunar month. As soon as it was dawn, Du Lie took five people to the Li family's courtyard.

In addition to Du Lie and his son Yan Falcon, there is another person Li Luo knows, who is the Utu he saw at Yan Duo's house before. The other two were men in their twenties, tall and skinny.

"Brother Li!" Utu arched his hand.

"It turned out to be Brother Utu!" Li Luo walked out of the house, "Brother Utu also came to help, and the little brother is even more worry-free!" ”

Du Lie introduced: "Brother Li, one of these two is Hugu and the other is Guangxia, both of whom are righteous men. Then he introduced Li Luo to the two.

The two clasped their fists together: "I've seen Brother Li." ”

"The two brothers haven't eaten yet, have they? Let's eat together first. "Li Luo had already prepared roast dog meat and rice porridge.

Everyone entered the house and ate more than ten catties of barbecue, and everyone was satisfied. Especially Yan Falcon, the belly is round.

In the end, there were only two catties of meat left, which was thrown to the fox by Cui Xiuning, and it needed meat and raw milk to breastfeed.

After Du Lie and the others commented on a few little foxes in amazement, they followed Li Luo and Cui Xiuning on the road.

Li Luo brought ten silver bottles this time, and Cui Xiuning also brought ten. Ten of them are used to guard Zheng Lu, and ten are used for procurement.

Modongzhai is more than 50 miles away from Jianghua Mountain City, and it has to pass through more than a dozen villages. A group of seven people walked for two or three hours before arriving at Jianghua Mountain City at noon.

The city wall of Ganghwa Mountain Castle is as high as three zhang, which is very imposing. The battlements on the city walls were guarded by sergeants, and bed crossbows and stone throwers were erected. A checkpoint was set up at the gate of the city, and several Goryeo soldiers in leather armor were scolding the people queuing up to enter the city.

"Your entrance tax is not enough, get out!" A Korean soldier shouted at a common man, but did not return the copper coin.

"Master Jun..."The people's faces changed, his entry tax was indeed a few pennies short, but even if he was not allowed to enter the city, he should return the money to him, right?

"Get out!" The Korean soldier drew a half-straight knife and threatened.

The people didn't dare to be verbose anymore, so they could only leave the team with a sad face. The rest of the people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

"What the hell?" Li Luo scolded secretly, and he could only line up honestly.

After paying 700 wen to enter the city, the seven people were a little distressed. Seven hundred yuan is not a small amount for the people at the bottom.

Jianghua Mountain City was made a temporary royal city, and it was naturally very prosperous. The city is full of traffic, pedestrians, shops and liquor shops, and the city is noisy and noisy, which is very lively.

Most of the pedestrians are dressed in Goryeo costumes, mainly white. Soon after entering the city, I heard the water on the road ahead, the sound of gongs and drums, and the cheers.

When a few people walked in, they realized that it was the traditional Goryeo mask Changji. Several Goryeo entertainers wear exaggerated masks, wear bright and colorful robes, and jump while beating long drums, and several Goryeo women dance fans and babble and sing.

This was the city of Goryeo in the 13th century. It is said that Jianghua Mountain City has a population of nearly 20,000 and has all kinds of industries.

After a few people watched for a while, Li Luo found a noodle restaurant, ordered a large pot of noodles, five catties of mutton, and ordered two pots of Korean sake. The seven of them ate and drank to their heart's content, and in the end, it took 800 wen.

Li Luo left six people to rest in the noodle shop, went to a coat shop alone, and spent forty yuan to buy a luxurious outfit.

White splendid luxury Goryeo Zhou Coat, black otter skin shoulders, pedal deerskin shoes, black sand satin wide brim high crown. There is also a Korean sandalwood folding fan.

The whole person looks exactly like the dress of a child of a Korean family.

Li Luo spent a lot of money to buy this outfit, of course, not to show off. He was in order to enter the county guard's mansion and meet the county guard Zheng Lu.

The county guard's mansion was in the middle of the mountain city, and Li Luo quickly found it without asking for directions.

A magnificent mansion appeared in front of Li Luo's eyes, with a high gate and a vast building, and the momentum was extraordinary. It doesn't look like an official office, but like a public mansion.

But the plaque on the gate clearly reads: Jiangdu County Government.

Originally, this was the palace of the Jiangdu period, but now it has been changed to the county guard's house.

The four sword-catching guards in front of the mansion gate subconsciously pressed the handle of the knife when they saw Li Luo approaching.

"In Xia Li Luo, I have something important to meet with Lord County Guard, please submit this letter." Li Luo took out Zhihai's letter of recommendation, and his tone was light, slightly arrogant.

The soldiers have always bullied the weak and feared the hard, and they should have made things difficult and asked for some benefits. But seeing Li Luo's clothing and bearing, he must be a son of a family with a background, and he knows that he can't afford to offend.

"Please wait a moment." A soldier said, took the letter of recommendation and entered the government.

PS: Ask for collections, recommendations, rewards, reviews.
