This is the real army.

Liu Yidao looked at the neat team in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.

Although these people wore the same as the Zhuanghu people, and they didn't even have a unified set of military uniforms, their straight bodies and firm eyes were much stronger than the Western Army in which Liu Yidao once served.

But where the strength is, he can't say for a while. It's just a feeling he has for no reason.

Qin Mu didn't have time to deal with Liu Yidao.

The times are advancing, and everyone should take the initiative to catch up with the times, rather than letting the times stop and wait for you.

Those who can't catch up will all be eliminated without exception. That's how cruel the world is.

Qin Mu came to the regiment headquarters.

This is a small courtyard in the Wu family's compound, which has just been repaired and can probably be used, and Qin Mu used it as the regimental headquarters of the Guards Regiment.

"Platoon Commander Shi," Qin Mu appointed Shi Yi as the platoon leader, ten people in a squad, three squads in a platoon, and now there are three and a half squads, and the platoon commander is a suitable position: "Recently, we have to have an operation, you are ready to prepare, arrange your own work." ”

"Yes!" The stone relics stood and saluted.

In the past few days, it can be said that since he met Qin Mu, Shi Yi felt that the world in front of him had completely changed.

If he hadn't met Qin Mu, he would have led his brothers to charge towards the army of the Great Song Dynasty, killing the enemy with a sword and a bow and arrow, and then win or lose. Until he finally died at the hands of Song Jun.

This was his original fate, and he had been prepared for it.

But everything changed after meeting Qin Mu. It's not just the powerful weapons and mysterious equipment he brought, but Qin Mu has brought him a new understanding of the world.

It's hard to tell, but it's changing little by little.

Speaking of queue training, Fang La's army naturally also has training, these brothers are all good hands, and there will be no mistake in walking in the queue.

But compared to what Qin Mu requested, those things were as easy as eating.

Qin Mu's requirements for the queue are extremely strict, even so strict that there are regulations on which foot to take first, how high the leg is, and how many steps per minute.

Shi Yi didn't understand why Qin Mu was so demanding, but he knew that Qin Mu was smarter than himself, and he was still far more intelligent, so high that he couldn't reach it at all. Such a person gives an order, and he will strictly implement it regardless of whether he understands it or not.

Breaking through all the way from Jiangnan, if it weren't for Qin Mu's leadership, they would have died on the road long ago.

Because of this, everyone in the Guards Regiment was convinced by Qin Mu, so no matter how hard and tired they were, no matter how much they didn't understand, they all did it seriously.

In just a few days, Shi Yi found that although these people under his command were still those people, their spirit and spirit had changed significantly.

In Qin Mu's words, they are now soldiers, no longer ordinary people.

Although these people were able to fight before, they were no different from the common people when they took off their armor.

Now it's different, even if you wear the clothes of the people, it's completely different from the local folks in Wujiazhuang. Just looking at the posture of walking, it is not at all the same, let alone energetic.

In order to practice, today Qin Mu let the new weapon appear in front of the soldiers, and every soldier of the Guards Regiment was a little eager to get his own gun.

However, Qin Mu didn't send the gun down today.

Just kidding, it's ***. Without a lot of training, how can you just use them. At present, they are still soldiers in the era of cold weapons, and they will kill people if they play with guns casually.

After Shi Yi left, Fang Haoyin and Jia Hongxian walked in.

Qin Mu is going to fight Liangshan. But Liangshan is so big, there are so many enemies, and his own idea is the incarnation of the governor Schwarxingge, and it is not possible to carry aircraft and artillery. Naturally, he would not be so brainless. Finding two people is to arrange the next action.

He hadn't been to Liangshan, and he didn't even know where it was. But it doesn't matter, Fang Haoyin knows. She has been there and seen Song Jiang.

"Line Niang," for the sake of safety, Qin Mu called her new name in public: "You tell us about Liangshan." ”

Fang Haoyin was also excited by Qin Mu's words today, and he couldn't calm down yet.

My cousin is really a hero, and I didn't mistake him. Although he didn't want to admit it, Fang Haoyin knew that Qin Mu was much stronger than Fang La. Daddy couldn't say that.

Fang La will only say that there is an imperial spirit in his hometown, and he should be the emperor.

There was a female emperor in the history of Muzhou, named Chen Shuozhen, who was a native of the Tang Dynasty. The reason for her incident is the same as Fang La, she was also under the pressure of the imperial court, and the people couldn't survive anymore, so she led everyone to rebel.

She called herself "Emperor Wenjia". However, her territory was even worse than Fang La, and several key points around her were not defeated, and she finally failed and died.

If Qin Mu hadn't appeared, Fang Haoyin would have been like Fang La and Chen Shuozhen, killing officials and rebelling, and the final result would not have been different. But now with Qin Mu, Fang Haoyin unconsciously understood a lot of things, and she knew that her father and the previous "Emperor Wenjia" would not work at all.

They don't have a height - for such an interpretation of height, it was Qin Mu who taught her.

They are doomed.

But Qin Mu is different. Everything he did was so different, Fang Haoyin was happy in his eyes. She hated the court of the Great Song Dynasty, not only for the people of Jiangnan, but also for her family.

If she was asked to take the lead in charging at the Song army, Fang Haoyin would never hesitate.

But she's not stupid, she's smart.

She would never incite Qin Mu to rebel at this time.

My cousin is 10,000 times smarter than her, and whatever my cousin says, I just need to do my best.

Sooner or later, one day, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty will kneel at his feet. She inexplicably has this self-confidence.

Qin Mu asked her to talk about Liangshan, and Fang Haoyin told her in detail about what she had seen and heard on the way to Liangshan.

The place of Liangshan, now called Liangshanluo, is a large water system, and the Wuzhang River connects Liangshanluo and Wujiazhuang together.

Liangshanluo can be regarded as a large lake, similar to Qiandao Lake, but the land in the lake is more than that of Jiangnan, and there are relatively high mountains.

To enter Liangshan, you need to take a boat, if it is not for the Liangshan people to guide the way, outsiders will not be able to find the place where the Liangshan bandits gather.

This is also one of the reasons why the imperial court was unable to exterminate Liangshan - it was too good to hide people, and it was too difficult to find.

Qin Mu quietly listened to Fang Haoyin's narration, and gradually perfected his plan.

On Liangshan, I am very happy now.

Li Kui hacked Xiao Tao to death in Wujiazhuang, and cut off Xiao Tao's arm, got a rare thing, I don't know what it was for, and gave it to Song Jiang.

Song Jiang didn't know what it was for, it was round and strangely good-looking.

He asked Gongsun Sheng, and Gongsun Sheng didn't know what it was for, but he thought it should be something like a sundial, used to see the time.

So they went to consult Lu Junyi.

Lu Junyi Lu Yuanwai was the rich man of the Daimyo's Mansion. This rich man is much stronger than the staff of Wujiazhuang.

The Daimyo Prefecture is a big city, and Hanseong County is just a small county seat, which is completely different.

Lu Yuan was well-informed, Song Jiang thought he should know, but he didn't expect him to know either.

It just so happened that Yan Qing came back at this time.

He went to the capital for many days, but in the end he didn't see the emperor, so he had to go back to Liangshan.

Yan Qing told Song Jiang that this thing is called a watch, and it is the most showy baby in the capital recently.

If you ask the people in Bianliang City what goods are best to sell in the capital now, the answer must be matches.

But if you ask the emperor in Bianliang City, down to the prince and grandson, this upper class, what is the hottest thing in Bianliang City right now, the answer will be watches without exception.

The watch came out of the Sanhuai Prince's Mansion, and there was no one sold on the market at all, it all depends on what the prince likes. He sells to whomever he wants, and if he doesn't want to sell, no matter how much money he sells, it's useless.

Wang Qiao is not short of money.

Song Jiang now has such a piece, which is very unexpected by Yan Qing.

You must know that there is no watch in Bianliang now, and even Liang Shi Chengdu has no watch. Liang Shicheng is the idol of the famous eunuch - the eunuch who became the Taifu.

One Tong Guan and one Liang Shicheng were the two most powerful eunuchs in the Northern Song Dynasty. One commanded the army to fight - self-proclaimed prime minister, and the other wrote an edict for the emperor - self-proclaimed hidden minister.

Liang Shicheng's status is unspeakably expensive, his face is useless, he didn't buy a watch, but now Song Jiang has one in his hand.

This surprised Yan Qing.

He was not surprised by how Song Jiang got the watch—he didn't need to ask if the Liangshan brothers came down the mountain to "do business", but he was surprised at where they went to do "business".

Where else are there watches in the capital? But Liang Shan didn't make trouble in the capital.

Could it be that in addition to Bianliang, there are watches somewhere else?

Song Jiang was overjoyed.

Even Liang Shi Chengdu does not have a watch, but he wears it on his hand, which is a very beautiful feeling.

However, if Liang Shicheng is willing to introduce him, can meet the emperor like that, and then contributes to the matter of Zhao'an, this watch can be painfully cut off.

Yan Qing didn't gain anything from going to Bianliang this time. There was a lot of time to take in, and the money was not spent, but it didn't come to fruition.

I didn't even see Master Li.

Why don't you take this opportunity and go again?

Song Jiang found Wu Yong, and this matter should be discussed with the military advisor.

Wu Yong happened to have something to find Song Jiang.

There are more than 100 generals in Liangshan, tens of thousands of soldiers, plus the families of these people, which is a very huge number.

There are more people to eat, although there is a lot of water in Liangshan, there is a lot of fish, but there is little land, there is a shortage of food. It is impossible for a person to live by eating only fish, and he still has to eat food.

Access to food is a big problem.

When the number of people was small, the gold and silver stolen were enough to buy food, but as there were more and more heroes and soldiers and horses, the food problem became prominent.

In the beginning, they could make a living by looting everywhere.

Three dozen Zhujiazhuang, finally broke Zhuangzi, obtained a large number of supplies, and also won Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang.

These Zhuangzi have land and grain, which temporarily solves the food crisis.

But Liangshan is developing and growing, and there must be more food after more people, so it can only attack the prefectures and counties.

Gaotang Prefecture was robbed by Liangshan in this way.

Liang Shan is now facing the same problem as Fang La, he must loot everywhere, otherwise he will not survive.

If it weren't for Song Jiang Chaogai and his group gathering here to rebel, Liangshan Luoben would not have such a large population.

The population that can be supported by a piece of land is limited, and with the current agricultural and fishery production capacity of Yangshan, it cannot afford such a large population in Yangshan, so Liangshan must grab it.

But there is always a time when the surrounding area is finished, what should I do at this time?

It is an option to continue to go farther away to grab it, but Liangshan is not far from Bianliang City, and it is not as developed as the water system in the south of the Yangtze River.

These rivers can certainly transport troops, but the imperial court can transport troops better than them.

If they take advantage of the river to rob, they will inevitably be attacked fiercely by the imperial court.

It's okay to nest around the Liangshanluo scourge, but a little west is the capital, and they don't have the guts yet.

The difficulties are realistic, and Wu Yong, as the great steward of Liangshan, must find a solution.

If you can't go west, then it's better to go in a different direction.

This is a strategic issue, and Song Jiang must make an idea.

Which side is better? Song Jiang also had a little headache.
