"Hou Ye treats us like a mountain, Hou Ye has orders, and we are duty-bound! Boss Lin, just tell me what we should do, right? ”

Cao Wendong's voice fell, and Liao Xifan also got up and bowed.

"That's right, that's right! It is natural to share the worries for the Hou Ye, but how to share the worries, I hope that Boss Lin can give a charter, and I will definitely do it! ”

The rest of the people echoed him.

"Everyone, please sit down, and listen to Lin Mou!"

Lin Wenyuan saw that the time was ripe, so he pressed his hand and said: "Hou Ye intends to launch a fundraising call to the merchants of the whole Tang Dynasty in the name of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce this time, although our Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce has just been established for more than a year, but under the wise leadership of Hou Ye, it has become the most influential Chamber of Commerce in Datang. Now that the national crisis is at hand, we have to share our worries for the Hou Ye, and we must also share our worries for the country!

Tomorrow's "Datang Daily" will publish a notice on the collection of military funds, and all businessmen in the world will be able to learn about this matter from the newspapers. As for the members of our chamber of commerce, first, we need to mobilize the forces around us, contact other businessmen around us, and vigorously publicize this matter in these two days; Second, three days later, Hou Ye authorized Lin to hold a fundraising meeting, and businessmen who intend to raise money will come to participate, at that time, I hope that I and other members of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce can take the lead in fundraising to set an example......"

Lin Wenyuan told Li Ke in detail about his plan before, and everyone was silent for a moment, and they all agreed:

"I see, Boss Lin rest assured, after Cao went back for a while, he went to visit some of Cao's friends in Beijing, they have always admired Hou Ye very much, this fundraising conference, I don't think they will refuse!"

"Huh! Liao also has a lot of business friends in Beijing, and after going back for a while, he immediately contacted him! ”

"Our Zheng family has a lot of business friends in Jiangnan, but we will hold a fundraising conference in three days, and I'm afraid it's too late!"

At this moment, Zheng Qianjun frowned and said loudly.

Zheng family's smoke and rain villa, in the Jiangnan area of black and white two ways, can be described as famous, in the Jiangnan area of the business community, the Zheng family is also turned over for the clouds, covered hands for the existence of rain, as long as Zheng Qianjun's father Zheng Yinhong "raised his arms", the entire Jiangnan Province will definitely more than half of the businessmen will respond positively, but Jiangnan is nearly a thousand miles away from Chang'an, even if Zheng Yinhong has a great influence in Jiangnan, it is impossible for Jiangnan businessmen to come to Chang'an to raise donations, not to mention even if they are willing to come, I won't be able to make it in time for the fundraising meeting in three days!

"Young Master Zheng's worries are not unreasonable! Jiangnan is far away from Chang'an, and I am afraid I won't be able to catch up in time! ”

Lin Wenyuan nodded, looked at Zheng Qianjun, and said: "This fundraising meeting is urgent, we can only give priority to mobilizing businessmen near the capital, and raise a batch of military funds first, so that the Hou Ye, the imperial court, and the saint can see the power of our merchants!" Think about it, why did the Holy Lord agree to Hou Ye's request to call on merchants to raise military funds for the country this time? This is a great opportunity for us!

Scholars, farmers, industrialists, merchants, we businessmen have been despised for hundreds of years, and they all say that we businessmen value profits, but this time to raise military funds for the country, we want to let the world see that we businessmen are not villains who only value profits, we attach more importance to righteousness and national righteousness! ”

After listening to Lin Wenyuan's words, Cao Wendong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Boss Lin's words can be regarded as saying that Cao Mou's heart is in trouble!" Scholars, farmers, industrialists, merchants, we businessmen have been prejudiced by the world for hundreds of years, and if we want to be looked down upon by others, we must unite ourselves and do something that others can afford. This time to raise military funds for the country, it is a good opportunity to reflect the righteousness of our businessmen, others Cao doesn't care, but the amount of the Cao family's donation this time will not be less than 20,000 yuan! ”

As the largest silk merchant and cloth merchant in the capital, Cao Wendong has actually been committed to establishing a chamber of commerce to improve the status of merchants, but his ability and influence are limited, so he can only have more than enough power. Last year, after several twists and turns, Cao Wendong finally caught Li Zexuan and the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce.

This point may not be obvious in Datang, but it is absolutely obvious in Lantian County! Because Li Zexuan has implemented a complete set of merchant protection system in Lantian County, and there is a special business department to deal with businessman-related dispute cases, in Lantian County, the status of businessmen is no longer at the bottom of society, but everyone is equal!

Lin Wenyuan's words made Cao Wendong realize that this collection of military funds was a good opportunity for businessmen to enhance their influence. Of course, putting this aside, businessmen must have a stable environment if they want to do business in An'ansheng, and the premise of this stable environment is that in this war between Datang and the Turks, Datang must win!

Otherwise, let alone doing business, in troubled times, it is difficult for ordinary people to even survive!

Based on these reasons, Cao Wendong is willing to spend money to support the military fundraising conference initiated by Li Zexuan.

"Good! Boss Cao is really courageous! ”

Lin Wenyuan's face was overjoyed, and he said: "Boss Cao is so aware of righteousness, Lin admires it!" Here, Lin will give you a bottom line, the amount of money donated by Lin will not be less than 20,000 yuan in this fundraising! Of course, this is just Lin's guarantee to you, as for how much you and the rest of the business friends donate, Hou Ye and Lin will never force it, everyone does what they can, no matter how much they donate, it is a heart! ”

"Good!"

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, although everyone here has little family resources, not everyone can throw out 20,000 guan casually like Cao Wendong and Lin Wenyuan without blinking (strictly speaking, whether it is Cao Wendong or Lin Wenyuan, no one is rich enough to care about 20,000 yuan, and they will still have some pain when they take out so much money at once.) The reason why they are willing is because they see the general trend clearly), so when they first heard that Cao Wendong was going to donate 20,000 yuan, some people couldn't help but worry in their hearts, and secretly said that this fundraising conference would evolve into a donation conference? One donates more than the other?

Lin Wenyuan's last sentence was a temporary reassuring pill for everyone.

"That's it! It's not too early, and Lin has finished talking about what Hou Ye explained! I bother you to contact familiar friends in Beijing today to promote the fundraising meeting in three days! ”

Seeing that everything was over, Lin Wenyuan got up and said.

"Good! Then let's get in touch! ”

Everyone stood up and took their leave.

This secret meeting of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce also ended.

………………………………………………

"A team of soldiers listen to my orders, twenty-five people in a row, lined up~!"

Lin Wenyuan and the members of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce were discussing the matter of raising military funds, and in the Xuanjia Army camp, where the Wuzi Battalion was trained, Li Zexuan and Sun Zhiping were organizing the soldiers to conduct cavalry charging training.

According to the first edition of the "Heavy Cavalry Drill Code" compiled by Li Zexuan, every day at three o'clock in the afternoon, a cavalry charge training for one and a half hours was carried out, and all the soldiers wore armor and horse armor, and practiced the art of charging into battle.

At this time, Sun Zhiping gave an order, and the No. 100 sergeant of the Wuzi Battalion immediately turned over and mounted his horse, and a row of twenty-five people quickly formed a heavy cavalry formation.

There is also a reason why horizontal columns are used instead of columns.

Because of the horizontal charge, the impact of the heavy cavalry can be brought into full play. When three or four rows of heavy cavalry attack the enemy at the same time, the enemy's solid defensive formation will quickly crumble, and the cavalry can disperse and turn to the side, and then assemble behind the other cavalry lines, and then attack by the next round of assault lines, in this way can produce a strong impact on the fixed enemy and continuous attrition results.

Before Napoleon, the horizontal column was the basic form of all cavalry shocks. Throughout the VIII century, there was only one occasion, when breaking through the encirclement of the enemy, when the cavalry charged in columns.

"Target, a stake three hundred feet away, charge!"

In just a few breaths, the heavy cavalry team composed of a hundred people was quickly assembled, Sun Zhiping nodded with satisfaction, which proved that their training yesterday was not in vain, and then, he pulled out the long sword at his waist, pointed at the rows of wooden stakes three hundred zhang away, and ordered loudly.

"Kill~!"

All the soldiers did not respond loudly, but shouted the word "kill" in unison, and the hundred-man cavalry regiment began to rush towards the stake in front of it at a specific speed.

"One-two-one, one-two-one!"

The essence of the heavy cavalry charging tactics is to keep each cavalry in a uniform manner, and each war horse to maintain the same pace, only in this way can the strongest impact of the heavy cavalry be brought into play, and the greatest impact can be given to the enemy in terms of sight and hearing! Therefore, Sun Zhiping also rode a war horse at this time and marched forward with the soldiers of the first team of the Wuzi Battalion, and at the same time, he also shouted the slogan taught to him by Li Zexuan to control the rhythm of the soldiers' advance!

Regarding the forward rhythm of the heavy cavalry horizontal team, Li Zexuan also made detailed regulations in the "Heavy Cavalry Drill Code", that is, the horizontal team began to advance as slowly as possible at the beginning, which was to accumulate momentum, and then turned to a fast step, turning to a light run when it was about three hundred meters away from the enemy, and then gradually increasing the speed of advance and turning to a fast run, and when it was twenty or thirty meters away from the enemy, it advanced at full speed, pushing the impact of the heavy cavalry to the peak!

"Stop~!"

When the first group of soldiers walked twenty or thirty feet away, Li Zexuan, who was observing from the side, suddenly shouted.

"Huh~!"

"Knock~!"

A hundred knights immediately reined in their horses, and their hooves hit the ground with a uniform sound.

Li Zexuan rode forward at this time and said sharply: "The fifth and twelfth from the left hand of the first row, the third from the left hand of the second row, the tenth from the left hand of the third row, and the seventh, eighth, and twenty-first from the left hand of the fourth row, all the people I read just now are out of the ranks!" ”

Hearing Li Zexuan's unkind tone, everyone was silent for a while, and those soldiers who were ordered, after hesitating for a moment, rushed to the side of the phalanx, waiting for Li Zexuan's "fall" in fear!

Li Zexuan glanced at this angry man lightly, and then said loudly: "The seven of you are either half a step faster or half a step slower, and the pace is always not consistent with others!" You stand aside and watch first, and the rest of you go back to your original position and re-line up! ”

"Oh~!"

The rest of the soldiers clasped their fists in agreement. Immediately afterwards, the front army turned to the rear army, and soon retreated to its original position.

Li Zexuan said in a deep voice at this time: "Captain Sun, you ride a horse to lead the team in front, and the rest of the people follow behind Captain Sun, control the war horse under your crotch, and keep the pace consistent with Captain Sun, no matter how fast or slow, I will all pull you out, and let you train alone when the time comes!" ”

"The last general commands!"

Sun Zhiping replied and rode to the front of the cavalry column.

Since Li Zexuan is helping him supervise in the back, then he only needs to lead the team in front.

The rest of the soldiers didn't expect Li Zexuan to be so strict, they couldn't even move forward half a step faster or half a step slower, and for a while, everyone was in good spirits, because if they wanted to meet Li Zexuan's requirements, they had to maintain a high degree of mental concentration, which was not only a test of their personal reaction ability, but also a test of their ability to control the war horse! There is no room for slackness!

"The generals will listen to the order, and they will charge with the general!"

Sun Zhiping pulled out his long sword, pointed at the stake in front of him again, and ordered loudly.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Sun Zhiping in front, and the four rows of cavalry followed closely behind, "Da, da", the speed of the war horses was slow and fast, but the pace of all the war horses remained the same, so that when watching the other soldiers of the Wuzi battalion on the side, only the sound of a horse's hooves could be heard at this time!

Uniform! That's called uniformity! The momentum of the cavalry stormtroopers is slowly accumulating! Ready to go!

"Dadada!"

At a distance of more than 30 zhang from the wooden stake, Sun Zhiping's horse speed suddenly became faster, and the rear soldiers quickly kept up with Sun Zhiping's rhythm after a short pace adjustment, and the sound of horses' hooves was neatly aligned again, and as the distance advanced, the frequency of horses' hooves became faster and faster, just like a war drum when going out, and the drum beat became more and more dense, so that everyone had an illusion, as if their heartbeat was getting faster and faster!

"Dada!"

When it was only fifteen zhang away from the stake, the speed of the cavalry stormtrooper finally reached the extreme, but at this time Li Zexuan did not order to stop, and Sun Zhiping naturally did not dare to order it to stop, but the Bailai sergeant behind saw that he was about to hit the stake if he didn't stop.

"Why didn't Li join the army give the order to stop? At this rate, it's too late to stop for a while! ”

Not only the cavalry on the field, but also the other Xuanjia Army sergeants who were watching the battle from the sidelines were also secretly anxious in their hearts at this moment.

Li Zexuan's eyes were cold, he didn't say a word, and he didn't mean to let everyone stop at all, because the panic in the cavalry charge made him very dissatisfied, in his opinion, the most important thing for the cavalry charge is to be uniform, the order is forbidden, the main general did not give the order to stop, no one can listen, even if there is an abyss ahead, it can't stop!
