Xiongzhou garrison, more than 20,000, the establishment is a box, the box is the highest level in the Song Dynasty troops, there is an army under the box, an army is about 2,500 people, the army is below the battalion, a battalion is about 500 people, the battalion is under the capital, a capital is about 100 people.

Below them were squads, three-man squads, nine squadrons, and forty or fifty men in a brigade. The brigade has a team leader, and there is a capital head, and the chief officer above the capital is called the commander. Battalion commanders, corps commanders.

Under the commanding envoy, there are adjutants such as deputy commanders and duyu marquis.

As far as this military system is concerned, it is still relatively advanced and very reasonable, and it is much the same as the military system of later generations, and it can even be simply understood that the squadron is the squad of the army of later generations, and the organizational method is extremely advanced.

The big camp in Xiongzhou, with the banner waving, is the façade of the Great Song Dynasty, and the posture is extraordinary.

But when it is really time to beat the drum and gather troops, you will find that the army here is outside the gold and defeated.

The old, weak, sick and disabled, in tattered clothes, and equipment are no longer to be discussed.

But under the general's platform, there are one or two thousand soldiers and horses who are considered to be distinctly armored, and this is probably the real façade troops, which need to appear in front of people from time to time, and all of them have made up so many good weapons.

The armor of the others, then it is really difficult to see, the iron armor is covered with leather armor patches, and the leather armor is covered with sackcloth patches.

In the period from the war to the founding of the country, the imperial court purchased a lot of armor, also because of the needs of the battlefield. Since the Tanyuan Alliance, the imperial court has never spent a lot of money to replenish these things.

Because there has been no war in Hebei for decades, and because the imperial court is poor, there is extra money to buy ordnance, which is also for the Western Army, where it still has to fight with the Western Xia, and the army there needs better armaments than the army in Hebei.

Di Qing shook his head again and again on the stage.

Gan Qi also shook his head again and again, and thought in his heart, no wonder a few decades later, the Great Song Dynasty was destroyed so suddenly, and the Jin people went south to Hebei, destroying the power of withering and decaying.

Just looking at the army in front of him, how could he not be destroyed and beaten by others?

To reorganize the army, you first need money.

For the sake of his own face, Zhao Zi also gave orders left and right, ran the cavalry, and changed the infantry battle formation, which was a small exercise.

Di Qing was still shaking his head.

Zhao Zi walked up to Di Qing with some embarrassment and said, "Di Xianggong, I'm smiling." ”

Di Qing has always been very serious about this kind of thing in the army, and he said directly: "General Zhao, it's difficult for you, it's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and when it comes to the ability to lead troops, you shouldn't be at this level." ”

Zhao Zi replied embarrassedly: "If you were in the northwest in the past, you wanted money and money, you wanted people, and you wanted ordnance and ordnance, then don't talk about it, but now in Heshuo, I have tried my best." ”

Di Qing only said: "Disperse all the parts." ”

Zhao Zi nodded: "Disbanded, go back to the camp." ”

The sparse army, front and back, left and right, scattered separately, like a swarm of bees scattered in all directions.

Zhao Zi also felt that he was embarrassed today, and took the initiative to say: "Di Xianggong, Gan Jingluo has really made up his mind to reorganize the army?" ”

Di Qing nodded, looking at Gan Qi, who was frowning and thinking in front of his head.

Gan Qi slowly turned around and asked an extremely straightforward sentence: "Under General Zhao, if you want to select a military man who can really fight, how many can you choose?" ”

Di Qing also emphatically added: "You must really be able to fight in battle, and those who are as calm and brave as the men of the Western Army." ”

Zhao Zi was about to answer the number of seven or eight thousand, but when he heard Di Qing ask, he stopped talking, was embarrassed a few times, and said, "Xu Yes...... I guess I can pick out two or three thousand. ”

Of the more than 20,000 people, only two or three thousand can be singled out.

This made Gan Qi frown again, which was lower than he expected.

Helplessly, Gan Qi nodded and said: "Then first pick out these two or three thousand people, and form an army alone, with limited rations for armor and blades, plus money and food, which will be personally practiced by General Di, and will also be brought by General Di to listen to it." ”

Zhao Zi nodded: "Obey." ”

Pick out the elite to Di Qing, but Zhao Zi has no opinion. Those who can be worthy of Di Qing are naturally elites, and they can't give back to some of the old, weak, sick and disabled, and there are not many people in the second or third thousand.

"Here on the border, the matter of reorganizing the army in other places, first focus on selecting elites, these things are all asked to General Tuodi first, I will go back to Beijing tomorrow, and then return to Xiongzhou after a while." Gan Qi said.

"Listen to Daojian, you can arrange it." Di Qing also knew that the burden on his shoulders was not small, not only to inspect the border smuggling, but also to personally train young and brave warriors from the forbidden army in various places.

Gan Qi was in a hurry, and after finishing the school, he didn't stay long, saying that he would go back to Hejian Mansion first.

left Di Qing in Xiongzhou.

After Gan Qi left, Zhao Zi asked Di Qing with a puzzled expression: "Di Xianggong, this envoy is also interesting, he just came to the border, and suddenly he has to go back to Beijing, this errand is a little too easy, right?" On behalf of the Son of Heaven patrolling the border, can he patrol so perfunctory? ”

Di Qing knew what Zhao Zi meant, and said with a smile: "He's not lazy. ”

"Isn't this lazy?" Zhao Zi asked again.

"After a long time, you will know who he is. He is a very deep thinker, very meticulous in his planning, and he has never been a perfunctory and slack person. ”

"Di Xianggong really respects him very much."

"Haha...... It won't be long before you'll miss him the same way I do. Di Qing stroked his beard, quite confident.

"Anyway, I also ended up in a quiet place, and I followed Di Xianggong on an errand, but I was willing." Zhao Zi is obviously still willing to follow Di Qing to do things, and he can accept it in his heart. There is still a bit of an established opinion about Ganqi, after all, Ganqi is too young. Zhao Zi is a martial artist, and a martial artist has a martial artist's way of treating people, either he is not convinced, or he is obedient.

Di Qing just shook his head and said nothing, he knew too well what kind of person Gan Qi was. In front of him, this little thought in Zhao Zi's heart, Di Qing didn't take it to heart at all, and it was not worth taking it to heart.

Within a few days, the financial tycoon Gan Daojian took a small part of his huge international capital and headed north on a ship.

It doesn't take much time to take a boat from Cangzhou to Xijin Mansion, and it is quite safe to travel in Bohai Bay.

The ship was far away at sea, and Ganchi took advantage of the night to go ashore in a small boat.

These things have to be done by Gan Qi himself, because others can't do it. Therefore, this trip to Liaoguo, for example, will be taken by him personally, and after this trip, Gan Qi may not have to risk himself in the future.

The land is Liao, and the Liao and Song Dynasty are so close.

Xijin Mansion roughly included the later Beijing and Tianjin cities. In later generations, Beijing is now called Yanjing, that is, the seat of Xijin Mansion, and Yanjing City is also the Nanjing City of the Liao State now.

There are several capitals in Liao, Shangjing Linhuang Mansion, Zhongjing Dading Mansion, Xijing Datong Mansion, Nanjing Xijin Mansion, and Tokyo Liaoyang Mansion. Among them, Xijing and Nanjing are basically places where Han people live, that is, the sixteen states of Yanyun.

At the beginning, the political system of the Liao State was divided into two systems, called the Southern University Royal Courtyard and the Northern Northern Royal Courtyard, which was probably the earliest one country, two systems in history. Divide the whole country into two systems, use the Han people's official system in the land of Yanyun, and use the Han people to manage the Han people. In the northern nomadic tribes, the original tribal alliance is still used. Therefore, with the North and South Royal Courtyard, the Southern Royal Courtyard is to manage the Yanyun Han people.

In the later generations of Tianlong Babu, Xiao Feng also served as the king of the Southern Courtyard of the Liao State, and was almost the king of the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Originally, the Peking University Royal Court was the Khitan headquarters, and then after the slow development, the Southern Royal Court became stronger and stronger no matter in which aspect, and Liao Shizong directly reformed, first downgraded the two Great Royal Courts to the North and South Privy Councils, and then merged the two Privy Councils, from then on one country, one system, centralized power.

Liao to this day, in fact, the status of the Han people is very high, which is much better than the Khitans than the Mongols, and the Liao aristocracy has long been fully sinicized, this sinicization is from top to bottom, from the emperor to the nobles. Therefore, the status of the Han people is naturally not low.

Moreover, from the law, to the customs and customs, to the big families in Yanyun, the Liao court has given enough respect, and Han officials are everywhere. This also made Liao's rule in Yanyun more and more stable.

The Liao State obtained the territory of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, but it had nothing to do with the Great Song Dynasty, this was a legacy problem, not something that the Liao State snatched from the Great Song Dynasty.

During the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, there was a leading general named Shi Jingjiao in the Later Tang Dynasty, and then he rebelled, supported his own troops and established the Later Jin Dynasty, but also suffered a violent counterattack, Shi Jingjiao couldn't bear it, and went north to ask the Khitan people for help. In order to let the Khitans help him tide over the difficulties, Shi Jingjiao took the initiative to cede the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Khitans as compensation, and also claimed to be the emperor to the Khitans. The Khitans took the sixteen states of Yanyun and also helped Shi Jingjiao.

Later, the demise of the Later Jin Dynasty also followed the same routine, and it was Liu Zhiyuan, the leading general of the Later Jin Dynasty, who supported the troops to establish himself in the Later Han Dynasty and destroyed the Later Jin Dynasty.

Guo Wei, the general of the Later Han Dynasty, rebelled again, destroyed the Later Han Dynasty, and established the Later Zhou.

Later Zhou's general Zhao Kuangyin mutinied at Chenqiao again, and the imperial robe was added to establish the Great Song Dynasty.

Then the Great Song Dynasty swept the world, destroyed Houshu and other countries, and then released the military power with a glass of wine, emphasized the defense of the military, and stopped the gene of this kind of rebellion of military generals.

The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were such a chaotic period.

Although the Great Song Dynasty dominated the world, the sixteen states of Yanyun ceded to the Khitan by Shi Jingjiao, the Emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty, were not in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and later there was a party in the northwest Li Yuanhao who also broke away from the organization, supported the army to ascend the throne, and established the Western Xia.

This is probably the historical evolution and layout of today's era.

Gan Qi entered Xijin Mansion, galloped on the official road at night, bought a few carriages and horses in the roadside town during the day, and went straight to Yanjing City.

Gan Qi is in this Liao country, he doesn't know anyone, and if he wants to really start a trade war, he has to go on his own.

Yanjing City, at first glance, is no different from the Great Song Dynasty, the words spoken by the people on the street, the accent is similar, and the customs and customs are similar.

If Gan Qiqing hadn't clearly known that this was the Liao Kingdom, there would still be an illusion that he was in the Great Song Dynasty.

The only thing that is different when you go to the Great Song Dynasty is that you can see some Khitan warriors on the road from time to time, bald and haired, wearing fur, and wearing a scimitar around their waists.

The Khitan people in this kind of costume will obviously not be the Khitan nobles, but the bottom of the Khitan people, who came to Yanjing City from the more northern regions. The Khitan nobles in Yanjing City will not be dressed like this now, they must all be dressed in silk and satin.

Gan Qi walked into a teahouse, and after sitting down, he ordered some tea and snacks and the like, wanting to hear the news in Yanjing City.

Sure enough, big news reached Ganqi's ears.

The people at the table were chatting about a recent event.

"Do you know that there was a fight in the north, and the imperial uncle Yelu Chongyuan rebelled."

"What? Is there a real fight? ”

"Seriously, Bei'anzhou, Xinghua, and Luanhe are all in a mess. However, Yelu Chongyuan also committed suicide and rebelled in the Luanhe Palace, and finally committed suicide in defeat. ”

Gan Qi is listening with his ears sideways, who is the imperial uncle? It was Yelu Hongji's uncle of the Liao Dao Sect, why did he suddenly rebel?

The new emperor of the Great Song Dynasty ascended the throne this year, and the imperial uncle of the Liao State rebelled in a few years. It's also fate.

It is better to rebel, the Liao State is in civil strife at this time, and it is in chaos into a pot of porridge, which is conducive to the implementation of Ganqi's plan.

"Uncle Huang is so ambitious, I think he will inevitably lose, how can he beat Your Majesty?"

"I also think so, a good imperial uncle is not appropriate, if you want to be an emperor, isn't this self-defeating? This time, I don't know how many people are going to be unlucky, you see that in Yanjing City, there are so many Khitan warriors who suddenly came, and they came first for this matter, and they wanted to strictly investigate the henchmen of the imperial uncle. ”

The teahouse was talking about the new news.

Gan Qi listened to it for a long time, and then went out, the Liao clan has always had a tradition of rebellion and rebellion, for example, Liao Shizong was assassinated, as for the chaos in the palace, it is even more countless, especially when the emperor's father kills his son, the son thinks about killing his father, and what emperor kills the queen...... Too much, too much.

At this time, Yelu Hongji of the Liao Dao Sect had just been assassinated, and the whole country was investigating the matter, everyone in the clan was in danger, and the people in the officialdom were panicking. Gan Qi probably needs this kind of environment, and when the official is busy with other things, it is also convenient for Gan Qi to moisten the silent trade war.

Gan Qi was extremely happy, came out of the teahouse, walked around the street, looked for it, and chose a grain store, and the plaque reads: There is a grain store.

Gan Qi walked in, and the little guy who greeted the person stepped forward and bowed down and smiled: "What do you want to buy?" ”

"What's the price of wheat?" Gan Qi was dressed exquisitely at this time, with silk at the bottom, silk on the top, carefully embroidered, and a jade belt at the waist, looking like a rich man.

"The price of wheat is seven hundred dollars for one stone, and if it is a fight, it is seventy-five dollars for a bucket."

Gan Qi thought to himself, it was about the same as the price of grain in the north of the Great Song Dynasty. And again: "How much stock?" ”

When the little guy heard this, he immediately knew that there was a big business, and said: "As much as the guest officer wants, we will have as much grain as possible." ”

"Really? Such a big breath? Is there 10,000 stones? Gan Qi asked, smiling.

"Ten thousand stones, yes." It's not a shame to be a little girl.

"100,000 stones, is there one?" Ganchi asked again.

The little guy was a little weak-hearted and asked, "Does the guest officer really want so much food?" ”

Gan Qi didn't answer, but he already knew in his heart that the energy of this grain line was not small, so he only said, "Tell your shopkeeper to come out." ”

"Wait a minute, the villain will go and invite."
