"Uncle, what do you think of this year's harvest?"

On the ridges of the fields next to the official road, the green wheat seedlings are already half a person high, and Wang Song and the farmers are pulling weeds in the fields.

When he went to the countryside in later generations, he did the same thing, but now his mentality is completely different.

"How dare you bother your officials!"

The old man should be the head of the family, and the wrinkles on his face hide decades of vicissitudes. He pointed to the barren fields and sighed: "If it weren't for Fanzi going south, the wheat fields would have been ruined a lot, and I am afraid there would be a good harvest this year." Now it seems that it is good to be able to eat enough!"

Wang Song nodded, the Jin people went south, the horses were burned, more than half of the fertile land was ruined, the people took food as the sky, and the people may have to suffer this year.

"Uncle, you are not afraid that the golden soldiers will go south, and when the time comes, they will destroy your crops and hurt your family!"

Niu Tong asked on the side.

The old man smiled bitterly and said: "Big official, what can be done about this, people always have to eat!" Besides, where can poor people like us flee to! If you want to be entangled, you will die on the road if you don't want to be entangled, and if you drag your family, you will die on the road. The old man has lived here all his life, and he will die here, which can be regarded as a return to his roots!"

Wang Song stood up and looked at the overlapping green in the distance, where some people were mixed in, working in the fields, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

When the Jin people went south, they were in dilapidation, not only greatly damaged production and economy, but also a large-scale reduction in population. You must know that population is the foundation of a place's prosperity and development! Without people, everything is in vain.

Local tranquility is a guarantee of military victory, and if we go all the way to the bare land, we will not only be blinded by our ears and eyes, but will also increase the difficulty of transporting grain, grass, and baggage.

"General Dong, it is difficult for Xianggong to gain a foothold in the court, and under this court, there must be a strong army!"

In another part of the field, Wang Lun and Dong Ping gathered together, seemingly looking at the land, but in fact they had different thoughts.

"Brother Wang, what do you mean by this?"

Dong Ping was a little ignorant, and he didn't fully understand the meaning of Wang Lun's words.

"The court is corrupt, scholars and doctors control the government, and the minister has made too many enemies in the court, if there is no strong army, not only will it be difficult for the minister to move an inch, I am afraid that you generals will also be implicated."

Wang Lun shook his head, his eyes were leisurely, as if he was thoughtful.

"Relying on these people in the court to fight against the thieves is really too overestimating them. This great cause of resisting gold is still on the loyal army and the Xianggong. ”

Wang Lun's words made Dong Ping bow his head and think about it.

Wang Song and the loyal and righteous army encountered the cold reception in the court, he knows it well, even if the loyal and righteous army how to sacrifice their lives and forget to die, it is just a rude military man who is unbearable in the mouth of those scholars and doctors in the court, even if it is as expensive as Wang Song, once the horse is put in Nanshan, the knife and gun are put into storage, it is best not to be a captain of the horse, eat and wait for death, and this is the remnant of life.

Most of the civil and military ministers in the court, such as Geng Nanzhong, Tang Ke, Qin Hui and others, take Wang Song as a thorn in their eyes, if these people rise up to attack him, Wang Song is famous, and his achievements are high, and what kind of outcome will it be, he is a little chilled.

As soon as Wang Song fell, the trees fell and scattered, they were rude warriors, and they had no foundation in the court, so they would inevitably be beaten back to their original shape, and the evening scene was bleak, which was not unimaginable.

The Son of Heaven is the one who is strong and strong. If you want to be prosperous and rich, and have a wife and a son, you have to ......

If the loyal army becomes the royal army......

He didn't dare to say anything else, the new army they had single-handedly trained was definitely the only one who looked forward to Wang Songma.

Wang Song is their only pillar, if Wang Song falls, they will be prosperous and lost, and they will not be able to afford to lose.

"What Brother Wang said is very true! We, the brothers, will definitely help the prince to train the new army as soon as possible, recover the lost territory, and prevent those traitors in the court from succeeding!"

Wang Lun nodded, relieved in his heart. How did he know what Dong Ping was thinking in his heart, and there had been a change at this moment.

If you want to be invincible, you have to control the new army.

Dong Ping's face was cloudy, and at this moment, he couldn't wait to go to the Licheng camp immediately, erect the banner of rebellion, recruit troops, and conspire with the world.

He knew that he didn't have such a great talent, as long as he could help Wang Song train into a new army, win the world, and be a minister of the dragon, he would already be a glorious ancestor.

"Brother Wang, you seem to have something to say."

Dong Ping saw that Wang Lun's face was solemn, and quickly cleaned up his mood.

"My loyal army Liankeze Prefecture and Lund Mansion will be included in the imperial court, and the Jin people will come to retaliate when they learn about it."

Wang Lun let out a sigh of relief, worried.

"Now it is the time of spring ploughing, our army must camp the fields and tuntian, so that the place can be stable and the people feel at ease, so next, I will fight a big battle in Longde Mansion to catch the Jin people off guard, and then take advantage of the heat to form a confrontation situation between the two armies, this spring ploughing can be carried out, and there will be some harvest."

Dong Ping couldn't help but secretly admire. Originally, he thought that this Wang Lun was just a dancer and ink man, but now it seems that Wang Song has a unique vision.

"Brother Wang, don't worry, brother, I will train a new army in this Longde Mansion, and then let Deng Shixiong send some firearms. Brother Wang, you can rest assured, you will never miss your spring ploughing!"

As long as Niu Gao and Zhang Heng fought smoothly and incorporated this bandit, they would recruit troops here, and with the reputation of Wang Song and the Loyal and Righteous Army, it was not necessary to recruit as many as they wanted.

The most important thing is that this team must have the surname Wang, not "Zhao".

Seeing Wang Lun and Dong Ping coming over, Wang Song couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Wang, seeing that you and Dong Ping have been talking together for a long time, won't it be a matter of spring ploughing again?"

Wang Lun nodded and said, "Xianggong, that's exactly the case." Now that spring ploughing has just begun, and our army has recovered Zezhou and other places, as long as a notice is issued, you can tell the people and arrange spring ploughing. ”

Wang Song nodded, looked at Dong Ping, thought for a moment, and stopped what he was doing.

"Dong Ping, our army has regained Zezhou and Longde Mansion one after another, and the Jin people will definitely come to retaliate. You are sitting in Longde Mansion to train a new army, and I will let Niu Gao and his son lead the cavalry to assist you, what do you think?"

Dong Ping was overjoyed and said: "Although Xianggong can rest assured, the villain will not miss Xianggong's big event!"

Sure enough, as Wang Lun expected, Wang Song gave him the right to train troops, and he could do it in a big way.

"You send someone to talk to Deng Shixiong, report to him the firearms that the new army needs, and when the Jin people come to attack, you can deal with it! And repair the wall as well, so that the blood of the brethren may not be shed in vain. ”

According to the city, Wang Song was not worried. Even these recruits are enough for the golden man to drink a pot.

"Everything is up to the fair, and the villain will then go to handle the matter."

After Dong Ping responded, he deliberately puffed up on the side.

"Xianggong, we only brought 2,000 brothers with us when we went out of Beijing this time, more than half of them were bad horses, the ministers in the court had bad intentions, Your Majesty was not too small. We have more than 100,000 soldiers to deal with, didn't Your Majesty throw us into the fire pit!"

When he left Beijing, the Shenwu Army, that is, the original Zhongyi Army, left more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the capital, and Wang Song brought out only 2,000 soldiers, and they were half of the old and new. Not only that, Zhang Xian, Zhai Liang, and Li Yanxian were also left behind to lead the Shenwu Army and guard the Imperial City and Tokyo City.

"It's not easy to be an official, so let's just do it."

Sure enough, Wang Song's answer made Dong Ping's heart sink and strengthened his determination to train soldiers.

"Xianggong, I'm afraid that this land east of the river is too barren for soldiers to recruit, and even if enough soldiers are recruited, there is not enough food supply!"

All the way north, thousands of miles of red land along the way, there was no one to live, and Dong Xian's brows were full of gloom.

"Brother Dong Xian, you are wrong!"

Wang Song shook his head and said: "In the land of Hedong and Hebei, there are millions of people, and there are even more bandits. For example, this Hedong thief Wang Shan, he has nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and if you screen it, there should be 20,000 or 30,000!"

Dong Ping also picked up the topic on the side.

"There is also Hebei, there should be a lot of heroes on Taihang Mountain, these are all the objects we are trying to woo, how to have a number of tens of thousands, there should be no shortage of soldiers. As for the grain you mentioned, Xianggong has already asked Brother Wang Lun to camp in the fields, and besides, there are supplies from the imperial court, you don't have to worry!"

"It's so good, it's just ......"

Dong Xian was still worried, he frowned and said: "It's better for a soldier to be a good family, if you recruit these bandits, isn't it too risky!"

Wang Song shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Before Jingkang, there were bandits on this Taihang Mountain, Luliang Mountain, as well as this Taiyue Mountain, Wangwu Mountain, and the mountain, but most of them were hundreds. It's like now, there are tens of thousands of people at every turn, just one or two years of hard work, where do these bandits come from, they are not ordinary people, so the quality of this recruitment, brothers don't have to worry!"

Hearing that Wang Songtou was the way, everyone was relieved.

Dong Xiandao: "I don't know how Niu Tong and Zhang Tong are doing in Longde Mansion now, I don't know if they have incorporated Wang Shan's team?"

Wang Song got on his horse and said loudly: "With 1,000 elite cavalry, against tens of thousands of rabble, I believe it is easy to capture." Once the merger is successful, you Dong Ping and Zhang Heng will be busy below. Tens of thousands of soldiers, this training is a big deal, you two must not be sloppy!"

Dong Ping knew this, nodded and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely live up to our mission!"

Wang Song nodded and said, "In Hedong, the two of you are responsible for training, and General Niu is responsible for governing the army." Zhang Heng was stationed in Licheng, Dong Ping was stationed in Longde Mansion, all matters had to be discussed, and if it really couldn't be solved, he would go to Hebei to find me. Without the military order of the officer, you are not allowed to go into battle without permission. But if the golden man attacks, he must be dealt a hard blow!"

Dong Ping asked suspiciously: "Xianggong wants to go to Hebei, what is the matter?"

Wang Song said with a smile: "Don't forget, this official is the Xuanfu envoy of Lianghe and Shaanxi, in addition to Hedong Road, there are also Hebei and Lianglu. The situation there is even more complicated, and this official has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders!"

As a Xuanfu envoy, he is nominally the military commander of Hedong, Hebei, and Shaanxi, but who cares.

He can't take the soldiers and horses in the hands of others. If the word "disposal" can be added in front of Xuanfu, then it is the feudal official who really holds military power.

Just like his predecessor Li Gang, who was nominally the envoy of the Lianghe Xuanfu, no one paid attention to it at all, and these military towns only obeyed the orders of the imperial court, not the words of scholars.

At the end of the day, you have to have your own team.
