Xiangzhou.

Tangyin County.

The name of "Tangyin" has a long history.

As early as the Neolithic Age, humans have lived here and gradually formed tribes.

According to the record of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Classic of the West Mountains": "In the mountain of Shangshen, the soup water flows out of the Yan and flows eastward into the river. ”

In the second year of Han Gaozu, it was named after the Yin of Dangshui (later Tang River).

Dangyuan is the name of the ancient country, because the water flows through the ancient Dangguo.

In the second year of Tianping in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, it was called Weide County.

In the first year of Tang Zhenguan, the water was slightly warm, and the water was changed to soup, and the original was Tangyin County.

This is the birthplace of the Yuejia Army and the cradle of the Yuejia Army.

It is said that this is the cradle of the Yue family's army.

First of all, Yue Fei, the soul of the Yue family's army, is a native of Tangyin County.

Secondly, many of the main generals of the Yuejia Army, such as Wang Gui, Yue Yun, Xu Qing, Yao Zheng, Li Dao, Sun Ge, Yu Peng, Yue Heng, Guo Jin, Wang Wan, etc., were all from Tangyin County.

Actually-

The real Yuejiajun can also be said to be from Tangyin County.

The composition of the Yue family's army is complicated.

Strictly speaking, the real Yue Jiajun was the soldiers of the former Tokyo Left-behind Division who originally followed Yue Fei from the north to Jiangnan - most of these people were from Hebei (not far from Tangyin County), and most of them were Yue Fei's fellow villagers.

At the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, the society was in turmoil, the political situation was disturbed, and the army was full of bandits.

The small court of the Southern Song Dynasty was unable to control the various military forces, and as a result, the soldiers were arrogant and difficult to control, to paraphrase a passage that I don't know who said at the time: "The armies will be defeated when they move, and if they are defeated, they will be robbed, and if they are thieves, they will be recruited, and they will be recruited, and there will be no end to it." ”

The collapse of various armed groups and the merger of fires often occur, much like the warlord melee during the Republic of China - except that at this time, there was a foreign invasion (Jin State), which was actually more similar to the anti-Japanese period.

The Yue family army led by Yue Fei is essentially one of such warlords.

But the difference is that Yue Fei mostly obeyed the leadership of the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the key is that he is known for his strict discipline in governing the army, so his Yuejia army has always been relatively stable, and many scattered armed groups have defected to the Yuejia army, so that the ranks of the Yuejia army continue to grow.

Annexing bandits and puppet armies, absorbing scattered people, Zhao Gou made the armies in various places under Yue Fei's control because of Yue Fei's repeated victories.

Within a few years, the Yue family's army grew to 30,000 horses.

After that, Yue Fei took the 30,000 Yue family army to exterminate Yang Qi's army and absorbed 50,000 or 60,000 horses from Yang's army.

In addition, Zhao Gou later allocated to Yue Fei, such as Qi Chao and Gao Dao (about 8,500 people) under the pacification division of Jiangnan West Road, and Qiu Yunsuo's department (nearly 1,500 people), and later Ren Shi'an, Hao Xi, Wang Jun, and Jiao Yuan, who were under the control of the Jinghu South Road pacification division (about 10,000 people), were also under Yue Fei's control, as well as the thousands of Caizhou soldiers brought by Zhang Jundu's left army under the command of Du Zhan to the Huangzhou military general Zhizhou under Yue Fei's command.

The Yuejia army has grown and reached its peak of 100,000 horses.

From the development process of the Yue Family Army, it is not difficult to see that the Yue Family Army is actually composed of Yue Fei and the less than 2,000 people who started Yue Fei as the core, and many of the other horses were rabble before joining the Yue Family Army.

To be able to build a group of rabble into a first-class strong army, it is not difficult to see that Yue Fei is definitely a super-first-class commander, and it is not difficult to see how elite Yue Fei's less than 2,000 people are.

It was a pity that Yue Fei and his Yue family army were not killed, if it weren't for the fact that their soul Yue Fei was killed by Zhao Gou, Qin Hui and others, if it weren't for the fact that the conditions at that time did not support the Northern Expedition, Yue Fei and his Yue family army might really be able to directly attack Huanglong.

Every time he thinks of this, Cai still feels sorry for Yue Fei and Yue Jiajun!

Therefore, Cai is still ready to find Yue Fei, absorb the Yue family's army, and then build a Jinwu army that is stronger than the Yue's army.

By the way, Yuejiajun was a term that the people were accustomed to at that time, not an official name. During the Southern Song Dynasty, the rebel army swarmed, and later many of them took refuge in Yue Fei (although Yue Fei was not the highest-level, he had a high prestige among the people, otherwise he would not have been so well-known until later generations). Those troops who submitted to Yue Fei called themselves the Yue Family Army, and this title was also recognized by the general public. Therefore, Yue Jiajun is just a verbal title, not a formation, and it will not appear on formal occasions. However, at that time, it was also customary to call a certain army by the surname of the commander, for example, Zhang Junbu could be called "Zhang Jiajun", Han Shizhong was called "Han Jiajun", etc. In addition, the number of the Yuejia Army has changed many times, especially at the beginning, it changes at every turn, and later it is called more when it is "Shenwu Deputy Army", "Shenwu Rear Army" and "Hou Protector Army", and the people receive information at all without the number of the Yuejia Army becoming fast, therefore, the people are referred to as the Yuejia Army. Some people mistakenly believe that the name of "Yue's Army" has the nature of a private army, which is one of the reasons why Yue Fei was later killed, which is actually an unfounded hope.

Of course, then again, it is not difficult to see from the name of the Yuejia Army and the formation process of the Yuejia Army that the Yuejia Army actually has some warlord attributes.

But let's go back again, in that era, Zhao Gou, the emperor, only knew how to run away and survive on his own, and he didn't want to resist the invasion of the Jin people at all, and the resistance was all spontaneous by the subjects.

Along the way, and walked around other counties in Xiangzhou, Cai still recruited a total of nearly 2,000 recruits, plus his original more than 350 Jinwu army officers and more than 100 colonels and soldiers that Cai still poached from other forbidden armies, a total of more than 2,500 Jinwu troops, and then Cai still came to Tangyin County with these Jinwu troops and 500 places, ready to make up for the gap here - although the first army is usually five battalions and 2,500 people, But usually, generals who have reached the commander level can recruit some personal soldiers according to their own economic strength (their military salary is usually for the generals to figure out their own methods), plus some miscellaneous means of hiding soldiers, Cai can still recruit about one more battalion of men.

After coming to Tangyin County, Cai still went directly to meet Xu Bingzhe, the county magistrate of Tangyin County.

Cai Ying's identity is here, and Cai is still a member of the Cai family, Xu Bingzhe, who wants to rely on the Cai family in his dreams, how can he not cooperate with Cai Ying's recruitment?

Xu Bingzhe personally arranged for the officials to take the soldiers of the Jinwu Army to post the recruitment briefings of the Jinwu Army to various villages in Tangyin County, and the soldiers of the Jinwu Army read it out in public, and at the same time explained the treatment and benefits of the Jinwu Army.

Moreover, Xu Bingzhe also set up a very eye-catching recruitment point for the Jinwu army at each of the two gates of the county seat.

It can be said that Xu Bingzhe completely cooperated with Cai still recruiting troops.

In this case, there are many callers.

……

Since he was a child, Yue Fei liked to dance with guns and sticks and read books such as "Zuo's Spring and Autumn" and "Sun Wu's Art of War", so when he was very young, he worshipped the iron arm Zhou Tong as a teacher and learned to ride and shoot.

It's a pity that Yue Fei didn't study with Zhou Tong for only a few years, and Zhou Tong died of illness.

Yue Fei and Zhou Tong have a deep relationship, so they will go to Zhou Tong's grave to pay respects on the first and fifteenth days of the new year.

Later, Yue Fei worshipped Chen Guang as a teacher and learned the method of swords and guns from Chen Guang.

Yue Feisheng has divine power, he is only seventeen years old, and he can hold a bow of 300 catties and open his waist and crossbow with eight stones.

Nowadays, Yue Fei's martial arts cover the entire Tangyin County, and people who practice martial arts in Tangyin County can be said to know Yue Fei.

Yue Fei has had great ambitions since he was a child, so he has worked harder than his peers, and he has never stopped practicing literature and martial arts, and then he has been respected by his friends and brothers to become their "leader".

In this regard, Yue Fei's master Chen Guang is very clear, and Chen Guang even knows that Yue Fei's appeal is definitely above him.

For the purpose of building up his own strength, on this day, Chen Guang, who wanted to join the Jinwu army, came to Yue Fei's house in person.

Before anyone entered the door, Chen Guang shouted: "Pengju! Pengju! Are you at home? ”

Yue Fei, who was reading a book in the house, heard that it was his master Chen Guang calling him, and immediately greeted him.

As soon as he saw Chen Guang, Yue Fei respectfully bowed and said, "Why is the teacher here?" If you have something, you send a junior brother over to say something, and I will definitely come to visit. ”

Chen Guang waved his hand, and then said happily: "I came here, not just to find you, but to find your brothers and sisters one by one, I brought you a good news so that you can get ahead." ”

Yue Fei asked, "What is the good news that makes the teacher so happy?" ”

Chen Guang didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said directly: "General Cai has come to our Tangyin to recruit troops." ”

Yue Fei didn't react for a while, and asked, "General Cai?" Which General Cai? ”

Chen Guangdao: "Of course, it is General Cai Yicai of the Jinwu Army. ”

Yue Fei suddenly realized and said, "Is that the same General Cai Yicai who led the five hundred Jinwu army to defeat the five hundred Song Jiang rebels?" ”

Chen Guangdao: "Yes, it's him, I have an apprentice, that is, your senior brother Gao Hailong, who was recruited into the Jinwu Army not long ago, he came to see me before joining the army and told me a lot about General Cai and the Jinwu Army, after I listened, I felt that if I went to join the Jinwu Army, I should have a chance to get ahead, so I want to take your senior brothers to join the Jinwu Army." ”

Yue Fei knew that his master Chen Guang had the ability to join the army three times, but because no one took care of him, he was not treated fairly, and he failed to get out of the way, and finally he could only leave the army gloomily and return to Tangyin County to open a martial arts hall.

Now, Chen Guang is in his thirties, and if he can't find a chance to get ahead, he is afraid that this can only be the case in his life.

Therefore, seeing that Jin Wujun came to Tangyin County to recruit troops, Chen Guang would be so active.

Compared with Chen Guang, Yue Fei, who is only seventeen years old this year, has a time of choice, so in the face of Chen Guang's enthusiasm, Yue Fei asked very calmly: "The teacher has determined that this Jin Wujun will definitely be able to make a difference?" ”

Afraid that Chen Guang would misunderstand, Yue Fei explained: "This Jinwu army belongs to the Central Forbidden Army sequence, and the Gyeonggi region he guards, if it weren't for the rebellion of Song Jiang and his gang, the Jinwu army should not have a chance to fight, right?" Therefore, instead of going to the Jin Wu Army, it is better to wait for the right time, Yue Fei accompanied his teacher to join the Western Army, Yue Fei has been studying the situation between Song and Xia recently, and feels that there should be a big war between Song and Xia, which is the opportunity for my generation to make contributions. ”

It can't be said that Yue Fei can't see it accurately, the current Yue Fei is just a downward young man, and the news he can get in touch with is too little, so it can be analyzed that there will be a big war between Song and Xia, which is already very rare.

I don't want to, but Chen Guang shook his head directly, and said: "You haven't been in the Western Army, I don't know how heavy the concept of the gateway is there, how fierce the factional struggle is, not a person from the Western Army, or even a person from those major military gates, it is difficult to get ahead in the Western Army, take me as an example, you know my ability, but I went to the Western Army twice to join the army, all because they only promoted their own people and I couldn't get a promotion, so I had to leave the Western Army again and again." ”

After a pause, Chen Guang said again: "And the Jinwu Army is not like this at all, General Cai abandoned the military and followed the military, and his family is not a military family, therefore, General Cai must not have so many available people in his hands, in addition, the Jinwu Army has just experienced a big war, not counting its horses, it has already suffered more than half of the casualties, it can be said that it is extremely lacking in talents, in this case, if we go to join the Jinwu Army, and then show our ability, we will definitely have a chance to get ahead." ”

Without waiting for Yue Fei to speak, Chen Guang said again: "And the reason why I am optimistic about the Jinwu Army is not only because there are many opportunities for the Jinwu Army, but also because I have carefully inquired about the various actions of the Jinwu Army with you, Senior Brother Gao Hailong, and then determined and affirmed that the Jinwu Army will definitely be a strong army......

Next, Chen Guang told Yue Fei everything he knew about Jin Wujun......
