"This section of the canal, Runzhou, Changzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou, except for Runzhou, which is not in our hands, the remaining three cities have no power of the Heavenly Master Army." Qin Mu unfolded the map and drew a line along the canal: "If nothing else, General Han will be the defender of this section of the canal." ”

Han Shizhong looked at the map detailed to each river, and the surprise in his heart came one after another.

Maps! This is a real militaristic weapon - in the Great Song Dynasty. This map, the imperial court did not have.

The current map is more like a schematic diagram, and the difference is fine. There are few elements on the map, a symbolic river, several cities, this is the map.

But the map Qin Mu took out was like shrinking the world onto a piece of paper.

This map alone fully illustrates Qin Mu's unsubdued heart.

At this time, Han Shizhong immediately understood that the guards were mercilessly slaughtering his own subordinates.

It turned out that Qin Mu didn't take the court in his eyes at all, this world, he wanted.

The person in front of him is a thief! Even he is much more insidious than Zhang Guo. Zhang Guo said stupidly and did it, how could it be as hidden as Qin Mu did.

Now Han Shizhong returned to Bianliang and told Zhao Ji that Qin Mu had a map and he was going to rebel. But can Zhao Ji believe it?

It's just a believe, can the imperial court beat the Guards?

Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu looked at each other and had nothing to say for a while.

Qin Mu didn't just show this map to their husband and wife, there was also a kind of Yan Chong present. The new generation of the breeder was watching from the side, but he was expressionless and completely unmoved.

It seems that the breeder has fallen to Qin Mu, otherwise this young man would have fried the pot a long time ago.

Han Shizhong was also from the Western Army, which was a warlord of the Great Song Dynasty, and in fact their loyalty to the imperial court was not very high - in real history, it was the one who surrendered to the Jin State in the end.

Folding family and planting family can be said to be self-contained.

Han Shizhong also unconsciously contaminated with this style. In his heart, he thought that Zhao Ji was a bigger warlord.

He is willing to listen to the dispatch of the imperial court because the territory of the imperial court is larger, which can give him a higher space for development. Whether it is from official career or money, the imperial court can give him more than the Western Army.

Now that Leng Buding found out that Qin Mu was going to rebel, Han Shizhong was the first to reflect that he was not going to the imperial court to inform, but calculating whether Qin Mu had the ability to do so.

The world is much more reversed. There is Song Jiang Fangla in the front, and Zhang Guo in the back. Now Qin Mu is also going to rebel, which is not unusual for Han Shizhong.

However, in the face of Qin Mu's objection, Han Shizhong had to consider the attitude he should take. Friend or foe? Or do you not help each other?

If you don't help each other, you may not be able to do it, and you still have the military salary of the imperial court.

But to help the imperial court fight Qin Mu, Han Shizhong really didn't have the confidence. The strength of the Guards Regiment, although he had not seen it with his own eyes, but he could deduce it.

Ever since he met Qin Mu, he hadn't seen Qin Mu defeated. Any enemy was crushed by a blow in front of him.

Now Han Shizhong had guessed that he was fighting against Tie Guan Li in Li Guojian that night, and the bandits of the Zhang family at that time were suddenly cut off and started a fire. No need to ask, it must have been done by Qin Mu.

It's a pity that he didn't figure it out until not long ago. Before, he only thought that Qin Mu was the son-in-law of the wealthy family, and he had no weight. All it relies on is a piece of craftsmanship and a good skin.

But as the lone army of the Guards Regiment went deep into the south of the Yangtze River, and then came and went like the wind, fighting wherever he wanted, and fighting whoever he wanted, Han Shizhong realized that he was outrageously wrong.

Qin Mu didn't rely on the Folding Family at all, on the contrary, the Folding Family relied on Qin Mu.

The current Qin Mu seems to be already a force.

Qin Mu was no worse than Zhang Guo, and the Guards Regiment was much more powerful than the Heavenly Master Army. Otherwise, he couldn't defeat Wuxi, which had been fighting for several months, and as soon as the Guards Regiment came, the Heavenly Division Army would be beaten away in an instant.

Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu had nothing to say for a while.

They knew that what Qin Mu said was right. Now that the Tianshi Army has lost Wuxi, the entire southern section of the Grand Canal has been opened. Except for Hangzhou, which was not taken, the remaining waterways were completely unblocked.

In this way, the grain in the south of the Yangtze River can continue to support the front line in Runzhou, and it can also be transported to Bianliang to alleviate the food shortage.

In the current situation, no matter whether Runzhou and Jinling can be defeated or not, the canal in the southern section of the Yangtze River will definitely need a military leader.

It is impossible for Gao Yu to do such a low-level job, and it is impossible for the Western Army to be trusted by the imperial court, so after all the calculations, Han Shizhong found that he was really the only candidate.

It's just that Qin Mu is talking about this?

Seeing Han Shizhong's puzzled face, Qin Mu continued: "General Han, Mrs. Han, this world has reached the threshold of change. You see, the court used bows and crossbows to fight in the past, relying on armor. Now it's with artillery. ”

Han Shizhong and his wife nodded at the same time.

They are all military generals, and this battle of Jiangnan opened their eyes and understood that in the future war, the protagonist will be artillery. Individual prowess is becoming less and less important.

But in reality, this does not affect their status. Han Shizhong is also a figure now, the so-called Jian is in the emperor's heart, that is, Zhao Ji knows his existence in his heart.

Whether he uses a broadsword or a spear, or a heavenly thunder artillery, Han Shizhong is always the one who leads the army.

"War is changing, and the world is changing. Everyone wants to live a better life. I understand what the Forbidden Army is doing, but I am firmly opposed to robbing the people to improve their living standards. To improve your life, you need to pay hard work. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Mu turned to Liang Hongyu and said, "Mrs. Han, I remember that I told you in the Li Guojian that I am willing to hire your people. ”

Liang Hongyu nodded hurriedly. That's right, that's what Qin Mu said when he was in the Li Guojian. It's just that Han Shizhong led his troops to fight next, and the money was not earned.

"My promise is still valid. I hired all of General Han's men and horses. The price is compared to the craftsmen of Bianliang, what do you think? ”

Qin Mu spoke to Liang Hongyu because it was obvious that Liang Hongyu was in charge of wealth in Han Shizhong's family, and this woman seemed to have a deeper desire for money.

Just look at the shining eyes of Fang Haoyin and others in the past. Fang Haoyin folded Meifeng's outfit, and Liang Hongyu also wanted it. It's a pity that you can't buy it.

Most of the military generals of the Great Song Dynasty, including civil officials, had the most simple idea of being promoted to become wealthy.

Military generals, especially officers in the forbidden army, their main source of income is the soldiers they bring. Eating empty wages is one thing, and on the other hand, it is enslaving these soldiers.

To put it simply, these soldiers are their slaves, and they have to do whatever they want.

Some rich people need to repair their houses by hand, so they pay a sum of money to the officer, and then the rich man can get the forbidden army under the officer to work as labor.

Therefore, the forbidden army can't fight, and the craftsmanship is good. This is not to say that Zhao Ji has a problem, only picking craftsmen to be soldiers. is the state of the forbidden army, which leads to the fact that no matter who comes to serve as a soldier, they will eventually be polished into craftsmen.

Han Shizhong's current command has several times more people than when he was in Li Guojian. In this way, his income will be rolled over.

Money talks. Qin Mu sacrificed the Dafa of money, and Han Shizhong immediately wilted.

Take other people's hands short, eat other people's soft mouth. Although Liang Hongyu hadn't eaten Qin Mu's meat yet, her mouth had already begun to soften.

"Young Master Qin," Liang Hongyu said with a smile, "You also know how difficult it is for these forbidden army brothers to beg for food. You see, they want clothes without clothes, they want money without money, you say, if you don't grab something, where will you spend? But it's always bad to grab things, so Young Master Qin is generous and gives us good things. I remember that Sister Haoyin had a bag that was particularly good-looking. It's like it's called oops, oh mom. ”

"......" Qin Mu's head is big. Oh my god, how can there be a bag like this. It's called Hermes.

"Mrs. Han, I know the bag you mentioned. I'll have someone send it to you another day. ”

"Oh, Mom, that's great." Liang Hongyu clapped her hands and said, "And Sister Meifeng's watch." Young Master Qin, you know that our good minister is now an official, and sometimes he inevitably has to go to some high-end occasions, but he doesn't have a watch in his hand, so he really doesn't look good on this face. ”

"Oh, that's my mistake." When Qin Mu heard Liang Hongyu's words, he immediately took off the watch on his wrist, handed it to Han Shizhong and said, "General Han, as a general, how can you not have a watch." I haven't been wearing this watch for long, it's almost brand new. If you don't dislike it, take it. ”

Han Shizhong had seen watches, and there were dozens of them in Bianliang City, and he had seen them on the wrists of those yamen.

But Qin Mu's watch he really hadn't seen before. This is a military watch, with texture and function, far exceeding the forty pieces that Wang Qiao snatched.

This watch is only available on the wrists of the top management of the New World Group.

Where can Han Shizhong refuse. After Qin Mu put it on him, even if Han Shizhong was reserved, he couldn't help but put his wrist in front of him and look at it over and over again.

This watch was bought by Qin Mu after he made a fortune, and the big brand, but the dial is different from ordinary watches.

There are a bunch of useful and useless functions on it, large circles and small circles on the dial, and various hands, which look like the cockpit of an airplane.

Even a person who doesn't know anything about watches can be attracted to these things.

Of course, Han Shizhong couldn't put it down.

"Young Master Qin, good ministers sometimes go to banquets, and they also have to bring their families." Liang Hongyu looked at the watch in Han Shizhong's hand and immediately added.

Hearing Xuange and knowing the meaning of elegance, Qin Mu certainly understood what Liang Hongyu meant.

He summoned the guards and whispered a few words. The guard immediately ran out, and after a while, he ran back and handed Qin Mu a beautifully packaged box.

"A mere gift, not a tribute." Qin Mu handed the box to Liang Hongyu. He had just asked the guards to ask for a watch from Jia Hongxian.

This kind of luxury material, Jia Hongxian has the most mastery. She will definitely bring a few watches with her when she comes to Jiangnan.

Qin Mu saw a women's watch in Yu Miao's hand - it was still the same as Jia Hongxian.

"Is this the same watch?" Liang Hongyu hurriedly opened the box and saw a beautiful women's watch shining in front of her eyes, and she was overjoyed.

It's better to be an official! After winning the battle, seeing that Han Shizhong was about to be promoted, Qin Zhijian began to give gifts.

When I changed to Li Guojian, the men in my family still didn't get into the stream, and I didn't even have half a watch.

A husband can't be without power for a day!

Mrs. Han Liang Hongyu is so simple.

"The watch is not Hermes. This watch is called Longines. ”

Women can be said to be self-taught about this luxury. Han Shizhong's watch still needs Qin Mu to put on him, but Liang Hongyu doesn't need it. She quickly put it on her wrist herself.

"Longines, good name." Liang Hongyu also raised her wrist and looked left and right at the watch, and her face was almost smiling.

"General Han," Seeing that the gift took effect, Qin Mu turned to the topic: "The brothers of the forbidden army have indeed suffered a crime, and these months have not been easy. You tell them to stop, don't disturb the place, and I'll reward the brothers. ”

"This ......" Han Shizhong was even more stunned for a while.

He took such a valuable gift from others, and then Qin Mu had to hire these forbidden soldiers, which was a large amount of income. Based on these alone, Han Shizhong has decided to prohibit his subordinates from robbing.

But I didn't expect Qin Mu to be such an authentic person, and he actually wanted to reward his own people.

Don't be a bastard if you're rich! It's going to have to be.

It's just that in this way, Han Shizhong feels that Qin Mu has the heart to rebel even more. If there is no objection, why do you care so much about the life and death of the people? Why should the forbidden army be rewarded?

But now at this time, Han Shizhong can't think about it so much.

It is impossible for human behavior to transcend the times, let alone time and space.

Han Shizhong's inherent mode of thinking is to be a warlord. Now that Qin Mu has become a de facto warlord, then he should be rewarded by him.

Not only did he not think that Qin Mu had done too much, but he felt that Qin Mu was doing things authentically. If there is no reward, it will take a lot of effort to order to stop the robbery of the forbidden army.

It's much easier to say now that there's something to gag their mouths.

Qin Mu did what he said, except for the Hermes bag that is not available now, there are a lot of remaining materials.

The terrifying production of industrialization gave Qin Mu extravagant capital.

In fact, the forbidden army grabbed things, which is nothing more than those products of Weishan Lake. Qin Mu has so many things that there is no place to put them, and the Guards Regiment has a huge fleet, and half of the ships are loaded with this kind of material.

Qin Mu wrote a note casually, then stamped it and handed it to Liang Hongyu.

"Mrs. Han, you take this note and go to my quartermaster to receive supplies."

Liang Hongyu hurriedly took it. She said, "How embarrassing is this," as she peeked at the note carefully.

A sixty-four-page white piece of paper, with lines and lines of writing on it.

Cigarettes, matches, enamel basins, scissors, kerosene lamps, nail clippers, and even cotton, needle and thread, and so on.

The rest of this is counted in boxes.

At this time, Liang Hongyu's eyebrows were bent. She knew it was all good. You can't buy it with copper money, you can only use Joaquin.

They didn't have Joaquin in their hands. Now it's okay, Young Master Qin gave it away for nothing.

Liang Hongyu immediately got up to say goodbye, and followed Qin Mu's guards to find the quartermaster of the Guards Regiment to receive supplies.

Han Shizhong and his wife went their separate ways. It's really short of people now. Since he received such a big gift from Qin Mu, he had to maintain the military discipline of the forbidden army.

In fact, if he doesn't maintain it, he can't do it, and if the situation continues to develop, those stuffed soldiers really dare to cut the forbidden army into meat stuffing.

Every soldier is a treasure that cannot be lost in vain. I have to keep it for money with Magistrate Qin.

As Han Shizhong walked, he raised his wrist from time to time and looked at the watch on his wrist.

It's nice to have money!
