Chapter 1382: Muzhou is not convinced
() Since it was a misunderstanding, Zhang Shun naturally would not have his head cut off. It's just that since he is drunk and lying in the boudoir of the Fang family's lady, he is naturally responsible for the consequences of this matter, and marrying the Fang family's lady has become a necessary thing.
For a while, everyone was happy!
The father of the Fang family originally fell in love with Zhang Shun and always wanted him to be his son-in-law, but now that his wish has come true, it is naturally impossible to make any more extraneous branches.
Han Xianglan secretly helped the little lady of the Fang family, which is equivalent to saving Zhang Shun's life, even if she doesn't say anything, she will tell her husband that the lady of the Fang family will tell her husband, and she has accepted this favor.
As far as Li Zhongyi's intentions are concerned, he naturally doesn't want the first case of bullying a woman in his army.
As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.
Once a case like this is spread, it will definitely say everything, and in the end it will ruin Li Jiajun's strict discipline.
During breakfast, Li Zhongyi asked Han Xianglan to sit down and eat with him for the first time.
Han Xianglan has something hidden in her heart, and Li Zhongyi's abnormal behavior will inevitably make her feel a little weak.
The rule of food is speechless, for Li Zhongyi in the private room, it is only as if there is no existence.
"You did a good job, not only saved Zhang Shun's life, but also became a pair of affectionate mandarin ducks, and the most important thing is to keep the reputation of the army." Li Zhongyi looked at Han Xianglan with a smile, and saw that her heart was furious.
"Sharing the worries of the husband and the monarch is what the concubine should do." Han Xianglan's pun answer seemed wonderful.
Li Zhongyi couldn't help laughing, when it came to intelligence, in his backyard, in addition to Li Cuixuan, there was Han Xianglan.
However, if you are not surprised when it comes to changes, but you have killed the enemy and seen blood, then you have to count the flowers!
Nowadays, the sword maids around Li Zhongyi are basically trained by Zhu Niang. Bamboo Niang's original name was Painted Bamboo, and she was originally a personal maid of the Folding Race Flower.
From this point of view, the overall sense of the fold race flower should be the strongest among the women in the entire backyard.
After breakfast, Li Zhongyi summoned Zhao Laoqi into the inner study in the palace, and the two talked about things behind closed doors.
"Your Majesty, among the sailors of the former Wu Yue Kingdom, the officers and sailors who can be used can be used account for more than eighty percent." Zhao Laoqi knew that Li Zhongyi was very concerned about the construction of the water division, so the report was extremely detailed, "In the opinion of the following ministers, after the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed, the officers of the former Wu Yue State Water Division should be sent to the lecture hall for further study......
Li Zhongyi nodded while putting down the tea cup in his hand, since Wu Yueguo has perished, Wu Yueguo's infantry army should be reduced as much as possible. However, the officers and sailors of the Wu Yue National Naval Division will be of great use in the future, and they can be used as much as possible after passing the training, and then vigorously promoted and used.
"Boss, you remember, for these people of Wu Yueguo's water division, a bowl of water should be as flat as possible, so that they can sincerely feel that everyone is their own people." Li Zhongyi exhorted: "As long as the people who are retained, regardless of officers and soldiers, they should be implemented in accordance with the existing salary system, and they should not be treated badly." ”
Zhao Laoqi hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty understands what the emperor means, and you will definitely treat everyone equally, and will never discriminate against these new officers and sailors." ”
Li Zhongyi nodded and smiled: "Treating everyone equally, not doing special, is the real way to integrate them into our army, you must remember, you must not let everyone feel different treatment, even if it is special care for them, it is not good." ”
Zhao Laoqi stood up solemnly and said very solemnly: "The minister understands, there will be no specialization, everyone is stirring the horse spoon in an iron pot, and the relationship will be close." ”
Li Zhongyi nodded and said, "That's right." For example, I will be in the barracks from time to time, eating in the same pot as the robes, and everyone will regard me as their own family. ”
Zhao Laoqi didn't dare to answer, because Li Zhongyi was taking himself as an example, no matter what he said as a courtier, there were difficulties.
"There should be no problem with the sailor here transporting military rations and materials and advancing with the army, right? If you have a problem, just ask it. "Li Zhongyi likes to transport materials by water, and the cost of doing so is also the lowest.
"If you go back to the emperor, the sailor originally had more than a thousand big ships, and now he has captured more than a thousand transport ships, as long as it is a place with a waterway, the minister dares to guarantee that it will not delay the transportation of grain." Zhao Laoqi is a guy who doesn't pat his chest easily, since he has said it all, Li Zhongyi can also trust him.
Next, Li Zhongyi asked a lot more, and Zhao Laoqi gave answers to the situation of the sailor according to the actual situation.
At the end, Li Zhongyi smiled and said: "We have been in this Hangzhou for a long time, and it is time for activities." ”
Zhao Laoqi also smiled: "Our sailors are much more than those in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Lin Renzhao's kid is afraid that it will be difficult to sleep peacefully, right?" ”
The two monarchs and ministers looked at each other and smiled, everything was in plain sight, what should be said and what should not be said has been said just now.
In the early morning of the third day, Qian's family, escorted by the guards, rushed to the dock and waited to board the ship to Kaifeng.
Li Zhongyi sent the money away in a timely manner, which actually means caring for money. As long as Qian stays in Hangzhou for a few more days, he may encounter careerists who use his banner to conspire against him anytime and anywhere.
At that time, even if Li Zhongyi didn't want to kill the money, he was in a dilemma.
Instead of sitting on wax in the future, it is better to quickly cut through the mess and send the money away now, so as not to leave endless troubles.
Wu Yueguo is dead, and Qian is most worried about Li Zhongyi's snatching of love, but it has not happened.
No matter how unhappy the money is, he has to bite the bullet and obey Li Zhongyi's mercy. Otherwise, it would really annoy Li Zhongyi, kill the money, and take away his concubines, which is not an impossible thing.
Qian left obediently, and Qin Hanzheng also frequently came with good news, and Li Zhongyi's mood was naturally very good.
Under the persuasion of Qin Hanzheng, the defenders of Wenzhou, Quanzhou and Fuzhou were willing to raise troops to surrender to the Qiang Han Dynasty.
The soldiers took the land of Sanzhou without blood, Qin Hanzheng's contribution is really not small, Li Zhongyi plans to wait for him to come back, and he will definitely give high-ranking officials Xianlu.
As for the title, Li Zhongyi has always adhered to the basic principle of not awarding knighthood without military merits, so it is naturally impossible to make an exception for Qin Hanzheng.
However, the fly in the ointment is that Wang Yachuan, the envoy of the Muzhou Festival, did not take Qin and Hanzheng seriously, not only did he not choose to join the Qiang Han Dynasty, but even spoke ill of Qin and Hanzheng.
After Li Zhongyi received the news, he couldn't help but smile slightly, Qin Hanzheng finally touched the nail.
The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, Wang Yachuan's arrogant attitude is not only not surprising, but it has long been expected by Li Zhongyi.
For this kind of unconvinced general, no matter how much it says, it is useless, and it can only be conquered by force.
So, Li Zhongyi immediately ordered Ma Guangda to lead 30,000 infantry troops and 10,000 cavalry troops to attack Wang Yachuan.
From Muzhou to Hangzhou, there happens to be a river, and the river is called Xin'an River. Zhao Laoqi once sent someone to survey that on the Xin'an River, a large ship with thousands of materials can be driven.
Ma Guangda led the army to attack, and according to the operational plan drawn up by the General Staff Department, it was necessary to adopt the tactics of countering the slow with the fast.
To put it bluntly, it was the brigade of infantry troops who took a warship to the west of Muzhou and made a big show to attract Wang Yachuan's attention.
In fact, Li Yong led 10,000 cavalry troops, carrying 6-pounder guns, and rushed to attack Muzhou in the starry night.
This was the first time Li Yong had a great opportunity to attack a city alone, and he couldn't help rubbing his hands excitedly and circled around the room.
The cavalry commander Fu Qian Shude saw that Li Yong was a little too excited, so he reminded him: "Old Li, what are you happy about now?" When Muzhou is successfully won, it is never too late to be happy. ”
"Hey, old money, do you think I'm just for myself? Actually, I'm happy for the whole cavalry army. Li Yong rubbed his hands and said, "In the past days, our cavalry army has always played a supporting role in the infantry army, and has never been the main force. This time, we have to show our hands, and let the boys of the infantry army open their eyes and see clearly, without the cooperation of their infantry army, our cavalry army can still make miraculous achievements. ”
Qian Shude wanted to refute Li Yong's fallacy, but after thinking about it carefully, what Li Yong said really made some sense.
In the old days, if the cavalry wanted to be majestic, they could only wait for the infantry to win, and then fight hard to pursue it.
Over the years, although the cavalry unit has been expanded from a cavalry battalion to a cavalry army, the cavalry-born generals are not so highly used in the army.
This is mainly related to Li Zhongyi's constant use of cavalry as a treasure, which is inextricably linked.
In the Li family's army, the most difficult branch of the army to train is not the artillery army, but the cavalry unit.
According to Li Jiajun's experience, it only takes two years to train a qualified artillery soldier, which is enough to be called elite.
However, the cavalry, who had only been trained for two years, would not be able to win if they faced off head-to-head with the Khitan Iron Cavalry.
With Qian Shude's experience, cultivating the people in the Central Plains into qualified cavalry warriors is simply a fantasy without more than ten years of work.
After all, the grassland peoples are all people on horseback, and they are all good at pulling bows from horses, while the farming peoples are far from being good at this aspect.
It is precisely because the cost of training cavalry units is too high that Li Zhongyi has always been reluctant to use cavalry troops on frontal battlefields, and only limit them to pursuit battles and reconnaissance outpost battles.
This time, Li Zhongyi used Li Yong's good steel on the blade, and the basic consideration was actually very clear, using fast to control slowness, and caught Wang Yachuan off guard.
According to the idea of the General Staff Division, the infantry army boarded the ship on a large scale to create the illusion of going slowly to the crusade. Li Yong's cavalry, on the other hand, was lightning fast enough to kill the city of Muzhou at night, and with the 6-pounder artillery they were equipped with, they blasted open the city gate of Muzhou.
A cavalry army equipped with three horsemen, at this juncture, just gives full play to the speed advantage that the strange soldiers are using.
As for the key to this battle, it is necessary to catch Wang Yachuan off guard. Otherwise, as long as Wang Yachuan is prepared, he will only have to wait for Ma Guangda's main force to arrive before launching a general attack.
