Chapter 140: Who am I afraid of in this world?
Jeju is actually not far from Bianliang City.
Starting from Bianliang City, along the Guangji River, one of the four Cao Rivers of the Northern Song Dynasty, all the way east through Lankao, Xinginfu, Dingtao to Jeju Fu.
To the north of Jeju is the famous Yangsanbo, known as the 800-mile Yangsanbo, and to the north of Yangsanbo is Yunju Fortress.
The mountains and forests here are dense, and the water network is vertical and horizontal. In terms of terrain, it is definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Wang Xiao has never been afraid of the force value of this world.
The black whirlwind Li Kui, who slaughters people at every turn, is just a chicken and a dog in front of Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao's strength is three times that of ordinary people, and his physique and endurance are five times that of ordinary people. Coupled with the archery and martial arts that he has been practicing for a long time, he has recently begun to practice internal strength and mental methods.
With his strength, there is no problem in sweeping the Liangshan generals.
The only thing he was worried about was the so-called Nine Heavens Xuannu.
Although Wang Xiao is strong, it also depends on who he is right. When she faced Ren Yingying before, she almost gave up the task and ran away.
And if he is a martial arts practitioner, if he faces the Nine Heavens Xuannu who cultivates immortals, it is estimated that it will be dangerous to even run away.
However, Wang Xiao had carefully analyzed the matter about the Nine Heavens Xuannu.
found that this immortal cultivator has only been seen by Song Heizi alone.
Once in the Xuannu Temple, Song Jiang said that he met the Nine Heavens Xuannu and gave him three heavenly books.
The second time was when he was conquering Liao, because there was no way to take the Tianmen Array of the Liao people, the Nine Heavens Xuannu came to tell him how to break the formation.
It sounds like it's true, but if there really is an immortal descending to earth, how did he Song Heizi die so miserably?
When Jingkang was in ruin, the country was ruined and the family was so tragic, why didn't there be immortals to help save the world?
I think that Song Heizi saw the Nine Heavens Xuannu twice in a dream, and the so-called three volumes of the Book of Heaven have never been seen by others.
Wang Xiao finally came to the conclusion that this guy learned from the fish-belly book collection and the night howl of the wild fox made by his predecessors Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. I got a Nine Heavens Xuannu, the story of three volumes of heavenly books to bless myself with golden light.
There are few people studying in Liangshanbo, and Song Heizi and his henchman Wu Yong combined it to fool those stunned youths.
Thinking about this, Wang Xiao immediately became arrogant.
Who am I afraid of in this world?
When he was in Bianliang City, Wang Xiao trained soldiers and horses for a period of time, but the time was not enough and the results were limited.
But when they got off the boat, they lined up in a neater queue. No noise, no laughter. When I walked silently towards Jeju City, everyone who saw this scene on the road was amazed. I think this is a rare elite division in the world.
It's just a loose queue, no noise. will be considered the elite of the world. It can be seen how lax the armament of the Great Song Dynasty is.
Uncle Zhang, who went out of the city to greet him, was very satisfied after seeing it, thinking that the imperial court really valued his opinion and sent an absolute elite army to exterminate the Shandong giants.
"I've seen Taishou-sama."
Wang Xiao, who was wearing soft armor, stepped forward and saluted Uncle Zhang at night.
"Okay." Uncle Zhang stroked his beard and smiled at night, "I was fortunate to have worked hard all the way, and this official has set up a banquet in the city to catch the wind and wash the dust for the general." ”
Wang Xiao hugged his fists with a straight face, "Adult courtesy, the lower officials dare not be ashamed." It's just that the soldiers and horses haven't settled down yet, and the lower officials don't dare to leave for the banquet without permission, so please forgive me. ”
He brought with him thousands of soldiers and more than 1,000 auxiliary soldiers. These people didn't even have a camp arranged, how could Wang Xiao leave the army and run to drink by himself.
"It's the official's negligence." Uncle Zhang nodded again and again: "You're right. The government has already vacated the camp of the army in the west of the city, where can the general's headquarters be stationed. ”
Wang Xiao said goodbye and made an appointment to enter the city tomorrow to pay a visit.
On the way back to the yamen in the city, the general judge on the side complained very dissatisfiedly, "It's just a thief with an army, and he still dares to pretend to be big." set up a banquet to entertain him to give him face, but he didn't dare to come. ”
Uncle Zhang said, "This is a bad statement. He can focus on military affairs, and that's what he really needs to do. Looking at the troops under his command, they marched in an orderly manner, neither making noise nor disturbing the people. Such a strong army must be led by famous generals. That's a good thing. ”
Although many civil officials around them disagreed, they still saluted one after another, saying yes, after all, Zhang Shuye was their boss.
However, everyone still didn't have the slightest good impression of those thieves and armies.
In order to protect their position, the Zhao Song family forcibly tweeted that the nobles and martial arts were cheap, and cut off the martial spirit of the descendants of Yan and Huang that had lasted for thousands of years. pushed the people of China to the image of a weak scholar who could not resist on his shoulders and could not lift his hands.
But in fact, in pre-Song China, it was a real iron-blooded bravery.
Three of the four ancient civilizations were wiped out by barbarians, and only Huaxia could inherit them. It is not the one who shakes his head to shout Zihu, but the iron and bronze sword in his hand and the blood surging in his heart.
Jingkang's time was so tragic, in fact, it was a doomed ending as early as when the Zhao brothers were determined to promote Wengui and Wuqi.
Wang Xiao led people to the camp of the Xiang army.
The camp was very dilapidated, and the place was small enough to accommodate more than 2,000 people.
But it's not a big deal.
Wang Xiao gave an order, and there were no millions of tigers to help build the kennel, only more than 2,000 people began to expand the camp and repair the barracks by themselves.
The soldiers and horses under his command are the forbidden army, which belongs to the Privy Council and the forbidden army.
And the order Wang Xiao received was to transfer the guards, who were specially sent here to clear the bandits and bandits. In terms of jurisdiction, it does not belong to the command of Zhang Shuye.
The only thing that the local governor of the Great Song Dynasty could command was the Xiang army.
The officers and men were tired, but no one complained. Because they are able to pay on time, and they are paid in full.
The phenomenon of empty salaries in the Great Song army was extremely serious. This is true even for the Western Army, which is known as the elite of the world.
In addition to eating empty salaries, the generals of the Great Song Dynasty would also drive their sergeants to work as slaves, and long-term deductions and greed for military salaries.
The situation is similar to that of the Hanako army in the late Ming Dynasty.
The sergeants had no dignity to speak of, and they were treated as slaves and were not paid for it, or even to provide for their families.
In this case, when encountering foreign invasions, you still want them to protect Zhao Song Jiangshan, but if you do it?
Therefore, the Song army that could really fight in the later period, such as the Yuejia army, most of them spent money to recruit soldiers.
The Song army was not unable to fight, and during the Battle of Yuncheng, the main force of the Jin soldiers was severely damaged, and the abducted horses and Tiefutu who were blown into the sky were defeated one after another. It is enough to prove the combat effectiveness of the Song army.
Before that, they just didn't want to fight for Zhao Song's world.
If you are not paid, you will be a cow and a horse, and you will work overtime every day, will you work hard?
On the contrary, you are paid a salary, and you are satisfied with bonuses and everything. You won't do it when you get off work.
These people under Wang Xiao's command are so obedient, it is because Wang Xiao does not eat empty salaries, let alone withhold money. He even paid for more than 1,000 auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands at his own expense.
In the afternoon, the whole camp has been completely renewed.
The next day, Wang Xiao entered the city to meet with Zhang Shuye and the civil officials of Jeju Prefecture.
The civilian officials are urging Wang Xiao to send troops to clean up the bandits in various places as soon as possible, but Wang Xiao said that he needs to rectify his training and find out information when he first arrives. There will definitely be no troops in the short term.
Wang Xiao's words were regarded as shirk, which made the civil officials of Jeju very dissatisfied. Someone wanted to scold him on the spot, but he was stopped by Uncle Zhang.
"How long will it take for the general to send troops in?"
Wang Xiao received an order to come and suppress bandits from all over Shandong, and the station was in Jeju Prefecture. More than half of their food supply will fall on the head of the Jeju government. This is also the reason why the civilian officials urged Wang Xiao to send troops to fight as soon as possible.
"A month, and it will take a month at the earliest to send troops."
Wang Xiao was really not stalling for time, but these forbidden troops he brought from Bianliang City were in urgent need of training.
This is still because Wang Xiao brought hundreds of divine arm crossbows. Because of the abundance of crossbow arrows, crossbowmen are easier to train. If you want to change to an archer, it will take at least a year or two to train a qualified archer.
In addition, Wang Xiao also had to provide enough energy for the forbidden army during this time, so that they could become strong as soon as possible.
The foot armor brought by Wang Xiao was too heavy, but not everyone could wear it.
Dozens of pounds of armor, plus weapons. Not available for non-able-bodied people.
In the days when there was no protein powder to eat, if you wanted to make the sergeants strong as soon as possible, you had to provide them with an adequate supply of food.
It also takes time to digest and is converted into muscle through a lot of exercise.
Uncle Zhang overrode public opinion and agreed to Wang Xiao's request. The two sides agreed to send troops to clear out the bandits in a month, and to break a stockade no matter what.
Wang Xiao, who returned to the army, began to train rigorously.
He has a lot of experience in leading troops, and military training is only a small thing for him.
At the same time, he also sent people to Jeju to purchase a large number of chickens, ducks, fish, meat and eggs to improve the food and increase the nutrition of the soldiers.
Although the training is hard, you may be able to eat meat for all meals. The vast majority of the soldiers chose to accept it with satisfaction.
As for the very few who can't stand it, Wang Xiao doesn't embarrass them. Send it directly to the boat on the Guangji River and go back to Bianliang City.
It is not difficult to raise a strong army, as long as you can do three things.
First, it is necessary to have sufficient material support. Second, it is necessary to have strict military training. Third, it is necessary to have experience in battlefield operations.
An army that can have these three points must be a strong army.
On this day, Wang Xiao received a special guest in his military camp.
The face of the visitor was white, and his voice was sharp. This is a eunuch.
After reading the letter brought by the eunuch, Wang Xiao closed his eyes and was speechless for a long time.
When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was clear: "When will the emperor get married?" ”
The eunuch was sent by Emperor Roufu, and the content of the letter was also very simple, that is, to inform the official family that Emperor Maode had been married to the son of Cai Xianggong, and that the Xuanhe Palace was to be made by Cai Ying.
"Three months later."
Wang Xiao nodded, went to the back, took out a Jiaozi worth eight hundred guan and stuffed it into the hands of the eunuch, "The noble man has been fortunate all the way, I already know about it." I won't write a reply, and the nobles can tell the emperor when they go back, don't worry about anything, everything is up to me. My brother has a white-flour steamed bun shop in Bianliang City, and the nobles can go to the shop to get together if they have leisure in the future. ”
After sending off the eunuch, Wang Xiao's eyes were sharp, and his whole body exuded a cold aura.
He put on his armor and took up his sword. Tell the soldiers around him to "beat the drum and prepare to send troops!" ”
