Chapter 357: Rebuilding the Vietnamese Army
Leaving the country of Wu, Fan Li rode a horse and galloped on the land of Yueguo. After more than 10 years of recuperation, the life of the common people has improved, the treasury is full, and a new generation of young people has grown up and has a source of soldiers. This laid the foundation for the restoration of the country.
The current Yue State is not an independent country, not only has to pay a large amount of wealth to the Wu State every year, but also has no right to decide its own fate. What's even more humiliating is that he has to pay tribute to King Wu.
But the garrison of Wu has been withdrawn, and the Yue State can get rid of the control of Wu State, form its own army, and become a sovereign state.
Fan Li's mood was also very excited. Restoration is in sight. The cause he fought for was to live a successful life. What he hopes for is not the restoration of the country itself, but that after the restoration of the country is successful, he can completely jump out of all the disputes in the world. can lead Xi Shi to fly away.
Suddenly, he felt that this place was familiar, as if he had been here. He took the reins, slowed down, turned a mountain bag, and saw a large abandoned camp. The stick-made walls had not yet been removed, and some of them were still staggering, and the tents in the camp were gone, and some of the huts had been set on fire and their roofs had been burned, leaving only the black walls standing there. There were worn-out clothes, unwearable boots, and a few broken wagons littering the ground.
This is exactly the camp of the Wu army stationed in Vietnam. The Wu army withdrew, leaving a mess behind. An era that represents the shame of the country has passed.
Fan Li jumped off his horse and stood on the abandoned camp in a daze. I traveled thousands of miles and traveled for several months to achieve this goal. Now that you've achieved your goal, it's time to take the next step.
He let out a long breath, jumped back on his horse, and galloped forward.
Not just one day, Fan Li has entered the meeting. There are more people on Huiji Street, the streets are spacious and clean, and the shops are connected, and there is the prosperity that a national capital should have.
Fan Li dismounted in front of the stone house where King Yue lived, and walked in with a horsewhip.
The stone house is quiet. Only a faint noise could be heard coming from one room. , Fan Li lifted the curtain and took a look. I saw two spinning wheels in the house, and the queen Yayu and the maid Meng Ji were spinning.
Although Yayu is still so beautiful, there have been vicissitudes of suffering between her eyebrows and eyes, there is a patch on the cuffs of her coarse cloth clothes, and her hair is not messy, but the hairpin is still a bamboo branch.
Fan Li's heart was sour, and he knelt at the door: "Fan Li has seen the queen!" ”
The spinning wheel stopped. Yayu and Meng Ji were stunned. Especially Yayu, his face suddenly turned pale, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't speak.
It was Meng Ji's elf, who shouted: "The general is back." ”
Yayu came back to his senses, his face turned flushed again, and he quickly stood up, wanting to pull Fan Li, but stopped again. He said, "General, please get up." ”
Meng Ji went out and brought in two bowls of hot water and put them on the table: "General, drink some water." Then quietly withdrew.
Fan Li saw that there was no one left, and said softly: "Sister, we haven't seen each other for a while, are you okay?" ”
Yayu lowered her eyebrows, paused for a while, and said softly, "It's still like that." It's good to see your brother, but if you can't see you, you feel that there is nothing alive. ”
Fan Li said: "My sister is happy, the garrison of Wu has withdrawn, and the day of restoration is just around the corner." ”
Yayu raised her head and looked at Fan Li: "My sister is an ordinary woman, and a man is my god, if there is no man to take care of her, what else does my sister have?" My sister has been back in Yue for ten years, and Gou Jian has never said a word to me in private. The bitterness in my sister's heart can only be told to you alone. But you've never been seen! ”
Two tears fell silently.
It's a dead knot that can't be untied. Fan Li didn't know how to rescue Yayu from the bitter sea. After a pause, Fan Li said: "Sister, Fan Li may have to stay for a while when he comes back this time, and we will meet often." ”
Yayu said, "That's good." There is also a benefit to living in this stone house, that is, it is more convenient to see you. Come and see me when you have time, brother. Sister is the only one with you. ”
Fan Li said, "Is the king out?" ”
Yayu said: "This place is too small, under the persuasion of everyone, he moved to the palace to do things, and he still returned here for the night at night." ”
Fan Li said: "Then go to the palace to see the king." Then he stood up.
Yayu came over and hugged one of Fan Li's arms. Fan Li clearly felt the softness on his chest. Yayu's body trembled slightly, and he could see that he was very emotional. Fan Li raised his arm and retracted it, and Yayu was in his arms.
Snorted lightly, let go of Fan Li: "Brother go." ”
Fan Li entered the palace, and it happened that the literature was also there. After the salute, King Yue said, "Young uncle, sit down and talk." Tell me about this situation."
Fan Li briefly introduced the process of provoking the Wuqi War and instigating the King of Chu to send troops.
King Yue sighed: "Young uncle, your energy is really great. A few countries that were originally safe, you can let them fight. ”
Wen Chong said: "This is the State of Qi fighting the State of Wu for us, and this battle wiped out the seventy or eighty thousand troops of the State of Wu, which can be said to be a brilliant result." ”
Fan Li said: "The most important thing is that Wang Sunxiong has withdrawn, and we have room for development in Yueguo." Now, Wu's economy is collapsing, the army is attrition, it is the time when the strength is the weakest, and it is a good time to eliminate them. It's a pity that we don't have an army. The next priority for the afternoon is to get a good grasp of building up an army that has always belonged to us. ”
Wen Chong said: "We built an army and trained it to be able to fight, at least a year, at this time, Wu was also recruiting, the economy was also recovering, at that time, we and Wu were on the same level. ”
Fan Li said: "Then we must speed up the pace and develop stronger, and only by surpassing Wu Guo in strength can we defeat him." ”
The king of Yue said, "Then we will discuss the establishment of an army." ”
Fan Li said: "I once ordered Kun Chang, the boss of the three heroes of the Chang clan, to secretly form an underground armed force of 300 people and train them to be officers above the middle level, what is the situation now?" ”
Wen Chong said: "These 300 people are now in a secret camp in the mountains, and as long as they have soldiers, they can enter the army and lead the troops. ”
Fan Li said: "When our Vietnamese army was disbanded, there were still 5,000 veterans who were sent back to their hometowns, and now they are spread in all corners of the country. Xi Shi's father, Shi Qiao, is such a veteran. When I met him in the village of Ramie, he said that he had organized military training for the young people in the village. I think this method is good, and I once suggested that the imperial court mobilize these veterans to organize young people in the village for military training, is this thing in progress? ”
Language: "Many of the veterans of the year have passed away now. The rest are organizing militias for training. ”
Fan Li said: "This is very good, we strive to build the army within three months." Now we are still under the control of the Wu State, and the team should be stationed and trained in a no-man's land. ”。
King Yue said: "Young uncle, you work hard, can you go into the mountains and choose a place as the camp for the army?" The rest of the things will be done by the country of literature. ”
The welfare text says: "The minister's decree." ”
