Chapter 303: What is Baume & Mercier?

To be honest, Huan Wen and Yuan Qiao originally thought in that direction, but as the two of them got to know the Han Department more and more, knew the development of the Han Ministry's current territories, and then learned about the structure of the Han army, it seemed that they were also infected with the arrogance that the Han army should have...... Or domineering. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"A cavalry has more than 3,000 horses, more than 10,000 assault horses, and nearly 30,000 light horses." Huan Wen wrenched his fingers and calculated: "There are 30,000 elite infantry troops, nearly 60,000 soldiers at the county and county level, and more than 100,000 soldiers who can be worthy of a war." An Shi, this is the military power that Jun Shang can use now. ”

"So many armor equipment?" Xie An was deeply surprised: "Shijie Zhao Guo used the strength of the whole country to train three thousand armor cavalry, the Han army has only developed for four years, Qingzhou has been occupied and abandoned, and there are only a few archipelago and a narrow territory in the east of Liao 1, how can it be ......?"

"There really are so many." Yuan Qiao said with great certainty: "Qiao's current position involves baggage transportation, and he is also involved in the division of logistics, and what Yuanzi said is absolutely the truth." ”

Xie An was really surprised. As far as he knows, there are only a few countries that can have armor and cavalry, and the only countries that can reach 3,000 seem to be Shijie Zhao and Murong Yan, and the two countries rely on armor and cavalry equipment to become the overlord of the Central Plains, and the other is punching Buyeo and kicking Goguryeo after becoming the overlord of Liaodong.

"Ran Min also has armor and riding equipment over there, and the number should be about two thousand." Huan Wen smiled bitterly and said, "Most of the armor and weapons were provided by our side in the early days. Changshi (Ji Chang) inadvertently revealed that if there were enough armor and weapons, Ran Min would be able to assemble a cavalry with more than 10,000 troops. ”

"So that means that the Han Department is not short of armor equipment at all, as long as there is a suitable source of soldiers, it can be equipped as a heavy cavalry?" Xie An was taken aback into a somewhat numb state, and his face was distracted: "How can you have such productivity, and why is it just that there are only three thousand armor riding equipment?" ”

"The Tiger Ben Army's requirements for the source of soldiers are extremely strict, not only in riding and fighting skills, but also in terms of traces of origin, and then there is a limited number of methods to eliminate the good and bad." Huan Wen thought that he had made it clearer, and no longer continued the topic, but turned to the beginning of the discussion: "Therefore, it is natural not to be afraid of the attack of the imperial court, and it is not a bluff. ”

"Actually, why don't we know a little bit?" Yuan Qiao said bitterly: "If you can really go on the Northern Expedition, how can you turn a blind eye to the emptiness of Xuzhou." Now it seems that there is an envoy group coming to Xiami, I am afraid that there is no need to say too much. ”

The three of them are all from the south of the Yangtze River, two of them are still the heads of the family, Huan Wen is one of the four major lords south of the Yangtze River, the patriarch of the Huan clan, for the Eastern Jin Dynasty small ~ Dynasty ~ court said that it is impossible not to understand.

It was precisely because they knew what the situation was south of the Yangtze River that they deeply knew that it was not strange that Liu Yan did not respect the Sima royal family, and who respected the Sima royal family among those powerful families south of the Yangtze River?

"Don't hide it from An Shi, Wen really wants to serve well under the command of the king." Huan Wen said absolutely exciting news: "Although the Huan family is one of the four major valves south of the Yangtze River, Wen dares to be sure that Wen's newly established Huan family in the Central Plains will definitely be stronger than the main family in the south in the future, and even the main family in the south will have to look up to the Huan family in the Central Plains." ”

Xie An looked confused, the reason why the gate valve is a gate valve is not only because of the wealth of the country, but also because of the unimaginable connections of ordinary people, and there are many families attached to its development. He listened to what Huan Wen said, the Huan family in the Central Plains will become the savior of the Huan family in the south, does that mean that one day the Han army will go south, and it will be a sweep?

In four years, from scratch, there are close to 200,000 troops, who would dare to believe it? It's not the kind of rabble that resembles the outcasts, it's the kind of troops with combat effectiveness and organization, which is really hard to figure out.

"Some time ago, our army attacked Pengcheng, mainly for military training." Huan Wen now has no psychological obstacles to saying 'our army': "Wen has made meritorious deeds, and now he is already a captain and a knight." ”

Huan Wen's official position in the Eastern Jin Dynasty ~ Dynasty ~ Court is a Lang evil envoy (equivalent to Taishou), and the title is a county man. I have to say something like a joke, what Lang Evil refers to is Lang Evil County, and Lang Evil County is occupied by Shijie Zhao State.

Huan Wen, the Lang evil envoy, is a false leader, so much so that after he became the eldest princess of Nankang, Sima Xingnan, the imperial court mentioned being promoted to the auxiliary general, but the auxiliary general is actually a miscellaneous general.

The generals of the Eastern Jin Dynasty ~ Dynasty ~ Court are not valuable, as long as they are children of a family and join the army, they are basically a general, the difference is whether they can actually lead the troops, but not everyone can lead the troops.

In terms of the title, the title of the Eastern Jin Dynasty ~ Dynasty ~ Court is even more worthless, let alone a county man, what if it is a marquis? To really know one thing, when the Sima clan usurped the throne, he scattered hundreds of marquis to win over the various lords and families, which was almost a situation where everyone had a share.

Huan Wen is a man from Wanning County, inherited from his father, and he should say that the title of the county man is very worthless in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, if it weren't for the fact that there are two hundred households in the city, it would really be completely out of the stream.

Yuan Qiao was a marquis on the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but he was a marquis, that is, a marquis of Changhe. The marquis sounds like a thing, the problem is a marquis, it's the kind of title that sounds like a dick when you hear that it's a marquis, and you are stunned when you learn that it's a marquis.

That's right, the title that the Sima clan usurped the throne at the beginning is like that, and many marquis don't have as many food as barons, which is why the Huan family is obviously one of the four major lords, but the head of the family is a county man. That's looking at the food, not the title.

"Compared to the joking titles, the titles here are real." Huan Wen's face was calm and calm: "What level of title should you enjoy, and then you can get on it if you have the ability!" ”

Yuan Qiao said with a smile: "It is precisely because of this environment that everyone strives to be the first, and everyone is full of expectations for the future, which is obviously different from the pool of stagnant water south of the Yangtze River." Anshi should know what this means. ”

Of course Xie An knew, but he felt that the irony was that they seemed to be the kind of vested interests in the rigid social system, or the group with relatively large interests, but Huan Wen and Yuan Qiao came to a "jump", did they think that they would climb higher with their own abilities, or was it a kind of self-abandonment after being abandoned?

Huan Wen seemed to tell the truth: "Seeing the strength of the Han army, think about the powerful productive forces." With elite troops and strong productivity, coupled with the fact that there is no shortage of food, and then look at the dynamic society, with the wisdom of An Shi, can't you see it? ”

The three of them talked about it from early morning to afternoon, and they talked about a lot of things, and eating and drinking were directly solved on the spot, until Sun Sui woke up from a hangover, or it was very likely that they would continue to talk all night.

In other words, talking all night, or even chatting without rest for two days and two nights, is not abnormal for those who are interested, especially under the premise of extreme excitement.

After Sun Sui woke up, he didn't have the slightest intention of leaving, he couldn't find Xie An, and shifted his mind to Huan Wen and Yuan Qiao, for the sake of being a warrior with high force value.

"Yes." Huan Wen said distressedly: "The problem is, they are pro-soldiers, not tribes!" ”

What is the Part? is a retainer, and it is very popular to recruit troops south of the Yangtze River, and almost any talent will be recruited. People who are not born in a family want to embark on an official career to change their fate, and there is no other way out except for being a part of the high-ranking officials and nobles, so later generations will say that the two Jin Dynasty is a desperate era, referring not only to the Hu people to rage, but also to the children of non-family families who are difficult to get ahead.

Sun Sui had idle time to chat, and Xie An, Huan Wen, and Yuan Qiao, who had talked about it, were swept over by sleepiness, first Huan Wen and Yuan Qiao said that they had official business to leave, and Xie An continued to entertain Sun Sui with sleepiness.

Xie An really couldn't stand it for too long, and after repeatedly hinting that he was really sleepy to death, Sun Sui finally said goodbye and left, provoking Xie An to ask Shi Chen without even grooming and standing up directly.

The next day, it must have been close to noon? Xie An woke up from his sleep, he opened his eyes and stretched, holding the bed with one hand and half-diagonally propped up, and saw the backs of two stunted and straight samurai, a discovery that stunned him.

Far more than just two samurai, Xie An got up and dressed under the service of his entourage, and on the way to freshen up, he saw the ubiquitous samurai and armor. How could he not guess that there was some big man from the Han Department coming, but he didn't have to show anything, he should freshen up, how should he be.

Xie An's place of residence was a place where the dwellings could be seen everywhere in the lower secrets, and it was actually quite chaotic when he came, and it was after a few days of cleaning up by the entourage and the two samurai, it was a bit like a place at home.

Precisely because it is everywhere and looks a little dilapidated, there will be no scenery to see in such a place, and the only thing that can make people wait and linger is the small vestibule, only the thatched pavilion outside, which seems to be very ordinary.

Xie An had already observed it just now, no matter who came, in short, he was not in the front hall. After he had finished freshening up, he even had time to drink a little porridge, and after rinsing his mouth, he came out of the house and looked at the pavilion with a slow but steady pace.

The pavilion does have a thatched roof, because of the small space, there will never be any scenery around, and even if there is, it will be covered by the rows of burly armor soldiers on the edge of the fence.

The airy pavilion was set up with a desk, and from a distance, a man dressed in black could be seen in a lazy posture with one hand propped up at his elbow, and the other hand holding a book or something.

Several maids, dressed in ladies and fur cloaks, busied themselves making tea and wine. While doing things, it can be found that they will definitely peek at the man who is reading the book, intentionally or unintentionally.

The man who looked very young was of course Liu Yan, and he found Xie An standing at the door, smiling and nodding as a greeting.

Xie An subconsciously nodded with a smile, and was stunned after doing this set of actions, not understanding how to subconsciously follow the same action.

At this time, a scribe quickly entered the vestibule through the guard area of the armor sergeant, and he also nodded to Xie An, who was slightly stunned, as a greeting, and did not stop coming to the pavilion, and said after saluting: "Your Majesty, Yang Yu led someone to block Sun Sui." ”

Xie An was stunned, he already knew that Yang Yu had been targeting Sun Sui, but he didn't expect that he would lead people to surround him in broad daylight.

"Where is it?" Liu Yan not only has a lazy posture, but his voice is also a little lazy: "Can there be a fight?" ”

The scribe is Yang Dun, and he looks very cold, if he doesn't have that bookish air, it looks a little weird. Without any mood swings, he said, "Just blocking." After a pause, he tilted his head, and then said: "When I came over, I saw Sun Sui's entourage running back to the post house. ”

Liu Yan has a depressed attitude towards the newcomer's secretary Lang's cold personality, but he can't stand Yang Dun's ability to do things, and he won't chew his tongue.

In other words, Yang Dun is not famous, and what he thinks is famous is that he refuses to be a continuation of the same sect as a son. will appear on Liu Yan's side, it is purely because his reputation is ruined, and many of Lu Yi's friends are coming, and after he learned about it, he simply came to Qingzhou with a package, and later became Liu Yan's secretary after the assessment.

What is the official position of Secretary Lang? Cao Wei was the first to be placed, belonging to the secretary province, in charge of books and scriptures, or secretary Langzhong.

Yang Dun is a person who manages the relevant documents for Liu Yan, and it is obviously appropriate to call him a secretary, and the official position is not big, but I don't know how many people are staring at this position.

Liu Yan beckoned to Lu Shaoyang and ordered, "Go over and take a look." ”

Lu Shaoyang saluted and responded: "No! ”

At this time, Liu Yan looked at Xie An again, his body straightened up, and he made a gesture of "please" from a distance.

Xie An did not hesitate and began to step forward, went to the pavilion and saluted politely before kneeling and sitting down. As he sat down, a maid brought the plate, raised her eyebrows, offered a cup of matcha, and placed the plate with the rest of the ingredients on top of his table.

"I often hear that there is no extravagance in Qingzhou, and I am disgusted that the southern scholars carry women by their side all the time?" Xie An looked at Liu Yan's eyes generously, and after saying the above words, they looked at each other quietly.

Yang Dun, who was standing on the side, moved his gaze over and stared directly at Xie An.

All the warriors and armorers present, one of them turned their eyes to Xie An in an instant, and the next moment the warriors and armorers looked away and scanned the surroundings vigilantly again.

For a moment, Xie An could feel the sharpness of those eyes, and said that he was so frightened that he was sweating a little, but his heart really became a little faster. Seeing that Liu Yan smiled and didn't say anything, he took some matcha without adding strange things, and asked very seriously: "But I don't know what the king will do with the things over there?" ”

It's said that Yang Yu led people to block Sun Sui...... (To be continued.) )
