Chapter 47: Ambition and Harvest
Back in Knock Sugar Village, Jiang Weidong seemed to be still in a dream.
And that's it?
And an unexpected bonus, let me be a regimental training captain with a black injury?
The so-called regimental training lieutenant, which may be regarded as a petty officer in Guanzhong and even in the entire north, but in the Jiangnan region, it is just a name. The so-called government military system means that it is a soldier in peacetime and in agricultural wartime, similar to the militia of later generations, and the regimental training captain is in charge of the drill and training of 800 people, and if it is a northern region, it is equivalent to a militia company commander.
But the southern region is different, because the male area of the Shi clan gate valve and the Wu family is very powerful, such as Wusheng County, this place is not to say eight hundred, it is to recruit two thousand soldiers in one go, and it is guaranteed that all of them are the children of the Wu family, the southerners are the most important clans, such a team, who should be the leader? It is precisely because of this that Chen Ling can throw away such an official position casually, and he doesn't need to ask anyone at all, anyway, it's just a false name.
To put it bluntly, Chen Ling saw that Jiang Weidong could speak well, and seemed to be quite capable, so he gave him a chance, as for how much he could do with this opportunity, that is a later story, anyway, you are also the son-in-law of the Wu family, anyway, even if you can't toss anything, Chen Ling has nothing to lose.
As an aside, this is also the reason why the Jiangnan soldiers are similar to the Haoqiang private army, not to mention the Sui Dynasty, even the central court in the history of the Tang Dynasty did not use the southern soldiers to fight, so it seems to be a convention.
But it was this Chen Ling's handiness that gave Jiang Weidong an opportunity to think about it day and night for so long: he could recruit his own soldiers openly!
The troubled times are approaching, and it is self-evident what a traverser with ambitions greater than the sky can recruit and train 800 soldiers in the open.
That night, Jiang Weidong was drunk, and he splashed ink on the wall of his house with a pen, and wrote two poems that he would never dare to write blindly on weekdays:
West Wind Fierce,
The geese in the sky are called frost and morning moon.
Frost Morning Moon,
The sound of horses' hooves breaking,
The horn sounded.
Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron,
Now we are starting from scratch.
From the beginning of the more,
Mountains like the sea,
The remnant sun is like blood.
There is another song, which is even more terrifying:
Stay until autumn comes on September 8,
I've bloomed a hundred flowers.
The heavenly incense array penetrates Chang'an,
The city is full of golden armor.
You must know that he drank too much and played drunk at home, and his new wife was literate! Seeing such magnificent verses, Deng Shi was a little stunned, although Jiang Weidong tossed her three times in one night because of his high excitement and drunkenness, but she didn't fall asleep all night, and her mind was full of these two poems.
In such a prosperous world where the world is peaceful and the country is unified, what are you going to do? What are you trying to do?
Think about it, the father and son of the Jiang family have lived in Wushu for so long, but the Wu family still doesn't know what the original surname of the father and son is, and which family's inheritance is the Zongheng family's striking, and even suspected that the two of them may be surnamed Yuwen or even Tuoba, now it seems that it seems that it is ......
I knew that this father and son were ambitious, and it was by no means a thing in the pool, but it seemed that this ambition had far exceeded their imagination.
Sleepless nights.
When Jiang Weidong woke up the next morning, the handwriting on the wall had been wiped off by Wu Bijun, who got up earlier than him, fortunately it was not written with ink, but Jiang Weidong drank the fragments again last night, and he didn't remember writing these two poems at all.
Wu Bijun didn't mention it, he was afraid that Jiang Weidong would kill him.
She is a smart woman, and she is also a woman who knows Jiang Weidong very well, but she did not mention these two poems to the people of the Wu family, but silently rotted them in her heart.
A woman who has been studying since childhood in this era is, usually, also an ambitious woman.
………………
A day later, Jiang Kun, who was far away in Quanzhou, received a letter from Jiang Weidong and jumped up with the same excitement.
It's been half a year, and I've never been so happy, and my little heart is about to pop out of my chest.
Lin Shihong didn't know why Jiang Kun was so happy, he just thought that he was happy, in fact, why wasn't he ecstatic? Ryukyu can be controlled from now on, you must know that he, Lin Shihong, has never been a reward from the imperial court, and he is clearly interested in this opportunity to take advantage of the tribute and take the central line!
Lin Shihong, who came out of the concubine, has now reached a position almost below one person in the Mesozoic Era of the entire Lin family, doesn't he have ambitions?
In the whole project, perhaps the only one with relatively small ambitions is Yang Dan, but after Jiang Kun discussed with Lin Shihong, the last kick of this project had to be handed over to him to play.
Ten days later, Yang Dan led a group of Yao people who could not speak Chinese dressed as Ryukyuan people and set off, and soon met Chen Ling under the recommendation of Jiang Weidong, who was a translator who was proficient in the language of the Ryukyu barbarians.
Facts have proved that Chen Ling really can't tell the difference between the Yao and the Ryukyu people.
Yang Dan didn't know what he was doing, anyway, he trembled and respectfully led these Yao people to bow down to Chen Ling, and listened to those Yao people Wu La Ula saying that he didn't know what to do, his left ear came out of his right ear, and then he slapped a loud sycophant at Chen Ling and the Supreme.
As for Chen Ling, if he led the army at this time to go to Ryukyu Island even for a little turn, Jiang Kun and they would be 100% proficient, but when he saw that the big basket on the back of these Yao people was indeed filled with that kind of fat wilting goose, and after killing one of them, and the goose did have liver in its belly, his mind had already flown to Chang'an City to ask for merit and reward.
It's no secret that the Supreme is rejoicing in great accomplishments today.
So, Yang Dan followed the north in a daze, it happened that at this time Yang Guang was preparing to hold his universal party, just looking at the number of envoys of these small countries is not enough, so that his pomp is not grand enough, as soon as he heard that the Ryukyus surrendered and sent envoys to pay tribute, he agreed without any hesitation, in front of the envoys of all countries, Yang Guang personally cut open the goose belly, enjoying the compliment of the envoys of all countries, after tasting the foie gras, he was unswervingly committed to his great achievements, a mouthful of foie gras, even Goguryeo was disrespectful to him, They have all disappeared a lot, and the rewards given to "Ryukyu" are naturally much richer.
As a result, Ryukyu had a reward, Yang Guang had face, Chen Ling was promoted to an official and made a fortune, and at the same time he also got a filial piety route of hundreds of foie gras every year, of course, he also wanted to give back.
Win-win.
A hoax has come to an end.
The development of the Ryukyus, on the other hand, has only just begun.
After all, whether it is the father and son of the Jiang family, or Lin Shihong, they are not trying to save the Ryukyu natives who are willing to take risks, they all want to turn the land of Ryukyu and the population on the ground into their own back garden.
At the celebration banquet, Lin Shihong and Jiang Weidong met for the first time, and they had the intention of meeting and hating each other, and they were both drunk that night, but when they turned their heads, there was a murderous flash in their eyes.
