Chapter 124: Manifesto

The first round of rectification of the Xu family in Juzhou was officially launched in early December of the 11th year of Jianxing.

This month, the owners of Wubao in all the prefectures and counties in the southwest region of Qi Province were shaken by a series of seemingly unrelated news.

The first news came that the Dajin army penetrated deep into the Jianghuai River and swept through almost the entire Central Plains along the way, and more than 100,000 people were plundered, and the cattle and sheep were not counted.

Subsequently, another news came, the Great Zhou Yangtze River Sailor blocked the Jurchens who were not good at water warfare, and finally the leader of the Great Zhou Lord and faction, the current Zuo Servant Shot, the Pingzhang Shi of Tongzhong Shumen, Qin Xianggong and Da Jin Bo Jilie Wanyan Zongbi met, and the two sides signed a new peace treaty.

The new agreement is not much different from the previous one, the core is still Zhou Xiangjin as a minister, and the two sides are called uncles and nephews. It's just that Zhou's annual tribute to Jin Na increased to 600,000 taels of silver silk, and in addition, Zhou needed to pay Jin a one-time payment of 3 million yuan to the army within a year.

When the details of the peace treaty were revealed, the world shook.

Millions of dollars are not particularly much pressure on the wealthy Jiangnan.

But this is the standard undefeated defeat, if there were still people who hoped that the Great Zhou could regain their strength and expel the Tartars to recover the Central Plains, now even the most determined main battle faction cannot expect to rely on the strength of the Great Zhou court itself to complete this feat.

Of course, this year's drama is not over yet.

After extorting a large sum of money from the Great Zhou court and catching enough labor, the Jin army began to collect troops and retreat to their hometown outside the Guan.

In the vicinity of Yanyun, the Jin army, which was in a hurry to return home, was intercepted by the Yuan army, and large-scale fierce battles broke out between the two sides in Yizhou, Yanzhou, and Shunzhou.

In the end, the Tatars won the victory, and robbed 30,000 people, 20,000 cattle and horses, and countless wealth from the Jurchens.

The Jurchens had suffered heavy losses, losing almost half of their booty, and if it weren't for the fact that there were still New Year's coins and army money to look forward to next year, they would probably have to start thinking about going south to plunder.

At this point, the world's major events in the eleventh year of Jianxing have come to an end.

Of course, there are quite a few "little things".

Especially for the areas near the southwest of Qi Province, the most important thing is not actually the battle between behemoths such as Da Zhou, Dajin, and Da Yuan, but the total annihilation of the Tartars by the Xu family in Juzhou this year.

This news is like spilling a drop of cold water in a hot oil pan, blowing up countless reliable or unreliable rumors.

One thing that can be confirmed is that the combat effectiveness of the Xu Jiajun proved to be particularly strong.

After all, no one knows that the troops brought by Hai Linbao to Juzhou are actually only half of Meng'an (of course, the Xu family did not do their best), people only know that the Xu family killed the Jurchens, and a Meng'an take-out also went around Han Meng'an to add to the head.

This fact made those local heroes who didn't even dare to resist a Tartar Mouke very much, and everyone unanimously believed that the Xu family had undoubtedly become the strongest military family in the entire Qi Province.

They should be treated with at least as deferential as they are to a Tartar.

This will bring many unexpected benefits to the Xu family in the near future.

Of course, Xu Shiyang does not know this at present, and the issue he is most concerned about now is the formation and training of the new army.

At the beginning of December of the 11th year of Jianxing, the first batch of new army soldiers selected by the Wubao of the Xujia family arrived at the new fifth tun one after another.

Xu Shiyang, commander-in-chief of the New Army, raised the pure red banner in the compound of his home, marking the formal formation of the New Army and the beginning of the first all-army training.

On the school field specially rebuilt by using a piece of saline-alkali land in the fifth tun, Xu Shiyang rode a horse and took all the battalion commander-level officers to review the whole army.

Seven battalions of 3,000 soldiers, lined up in the order of Dingyuan, Zhenyuan, Jingyuan, Laiyuan, Pingyuan, Zhiyuan, and Jingyuan.

Under the influence of the Dingyuan battalion, which had the largest number of veterans, the not-so-neat phalanx of the battalions was quite solemn - at least no one dared to frolic on such an occasion.

Xu Shiyang's serious gaze swept over the faces of the soldiers one by one, and according to Xu Shiyang's recruitment requirements, the selection of frontmen was mainly fierce and aggressive; Sharp soldiers should try to choose people who are honest and accustomed to obedience; The Shenji soldiers mainly use young people over 16 years old and under 20 years old.

On the surface, the Dock Fort Lords basically did what he asked.

Xu Shiyang's gaze paused for a moment on the faces of several of them.

He knew all these people, especially Daniel Zhang, the captain of the selection soldiers who came to the far camp, and a young god soldier who stood in the back row and carried a fire door gun.

That's Xu Shizhen.

The fourth child of the Xu family, the third son of the long house, a half-grown child who is a few months older than Xu Shiliu, but not yet 18 years old.

The captains of each battalion stood on the far left side of each platoon of soldiers, Xu Shiyang took a closer look, and Xu Shizhen stood in the middle, that is, he was just an ordinary soldier.

Xu Shiyang stretched out his finger and pointed at Xu Shizhen, then ticked it and motioned for him to come to the front of the team.

"Shiyang, it's such a ......"

Xu Shisong leaned over to explain, but Xu Shiyang stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Soldier!" Xu Shiyang shouted at the top of his voice: "Inform your name!" ”

"I'm Xu Shizhen."

"Be louder! Didn't you eat! Inform your name! ”

"I'm Xu Shizhen!"

"Louder!"

"Xu Shizhen !!" The young man followed Xu Shiyang's example, and shouted with all his strength: "I am Xu Shizhen!! ”

The sound vibrated on the roof tiles, and in the quiet school grounds, at least half of the soldiers heard it.

"Why did you choose to be a soldier?"

"I'm going to reinvigorate my home!!"

Xu Shizhen's eyes widened, stared at Xu Shiyang, and shouted loudly:

"I want to prove that I will never be inferior to my third brother!!"

"How can I revive your home?" Xu Shiyang roared in his ear: "How can you prove that you are not inferior to your brother?" Tell me! ”

"Kill the Tartar !!"

"Again, how?"

"Kill the Tartar !!"

"Well said!" Xu Shiyang untied his waist knife from his waist and hung it on Xu Shizhen with his own hands: "Soldier!" Remember what you said today! Show all your skills and prove that you are indeed better than your brother! ”

After a moment of silence, Xu Shiyang whispered again: "I like your attitude, but whether you can revive the Xu family's room depends on whether you work hard." ”

After finishing speaking, Xu Shiyang ignored him and turned his head and walked towards the next battalion phalanx.

As he walked, he shouted loudly:

"The new army initially had only one Dingyuan battalion!"

"But you all know that the Dingyuan camp defeated the Tartars and a fierce An!"

"A Meng'an! Before this, who of you would dare to dream like this? Who of you would dare to say that 500 Han Chinese can defeat 1,000 true Tartars? ”

In fact, there were not so many real Jurchens in Hai Linbao's hands at that time, but most of the soldiers didn't know, and those who knew wanted to blow the Tartar a little more.

"We did it! Our new army did it! ”

"I hope that you can also train hard, obey orders, fight bravely, and reach the height of the Dingyuan Battalion!"

"Because you are not weaker than anyone! Go to TM D! It is our Han people who are not weaker than anyone! Our new army is the strongest army in the world! We Han people are the strongest nation in the world! ”

"We're going to make those shameless Tartars tremble! We want to make their wives and girls cry in despair! We will cut off their heads and pay tribute to our ancestors! ”

"Warriors! Look at it! I'm going to lead you to kill all the Tartars! I will lead you to avenge the shame that has been imposed on us for more than a decade! ”

"Mark my words! Someday, we will make all the Tartars pay for their blood debts! ”

"With their land! Their people! Their blood! ”
