Chapter 301: Expansion of the Army
- Liang Shan
Hu Sanniang looked at everything in Liangshan curiously, and the flower carving beside her looked at her, as if she saw her former self, and the flower carving kept introducing Hu Sanniang, this is the water village, there is Sanguan, here is the place where the sergeants study, there is the military exercise ground, here is the inner mountain with many shops, and there is the core of the cottage.
In just a few days, Hu Sanniang has become like sisters with Huadiao, and it can only be said that women's friendship is really difficult for men to understand.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!! Hua Diao was taking Hu Sanniang to look at all kinds of strange goods that were not available outside in the department store in Liangshan Neishan, what colorful candies, what glass mirrors, and what perfumes that were not like human objects, so that Hu Sanniang heard bursts of drums before he could come out of the cognition that he might really be a dirt bun.
"Sanniang, this drum is the drum of the gathering generals, as long as all the leaders in Liangshan are in place in the three-way drum, let's go, let's go together." Huadiao took Hu Sanniang's hand all the way up the mountain, on the way, Hu Sanniang could see the Liangshan leader he knew or didn't know from time to time rushing to the road, and when he arrived in the Juyi Hall, Hu Sanniang looked at Jiang De with a mask, and asked Huadiao, "Sister Huadiao, why does the owner of the village keep wearing a mask?" Could it be that the true face of the owner of the village is very different from ordinary people? Saying that, Hu Sanniang looked at Liu Tang and felt that no matter how different she was from ordinary people, she should be better than Liu Tang.
Hua Diao looked at Jiang De, thinking about Jiang De's face under the mask, and said with a smile, "It's not, it's just that our little Langjun is too young, and if he doesn't wear a mask in the face of outsiders, I'm afraid he won't be able to scare people at all." ”
Jiang De was talking to Chao Gai above, and when he heard the drum stopping, he said to Xu Guanzhong next to him, "Mr. Xu, all the brothers have arrived, right?" ”
Xu Guanzhong looked around and said, "The owner of the village, except for a few people who are not on the mountain when they go out, they have all arrived. ”
Jiang De took off his mask and looked down and said, "Brothers, I wish Jiazhuang a battle, we have won a big victory, congratulations, but this greatest joy is not to destroy a force that dares to offend me Liangshan Tianwei, but to have a few more brothers in us, come, let me introduce you to Hujiazhuang's Hu Cheng and Hu Sanniang brothers and sisters!" ”
Hu Cheng and Hu Sanniang stood up together, arching their hands to everyone to show that they had seen it, Hu Sanniang looked at Jiang De carefully, and understood three points in her heart about what Huadiao said before.
Jiang De said, "Although Hujiazhuang has had in the early stage, it has meritorious service in the later stage, and has been rewarded many times, which shows its sincerity and success!" When you return to Hujiazhuang, you must listen to my decrees and generals' orders, and there must be no mistakes, do you understand? ”
Hu Cheng bowed and said, "Hu Cheng understands!" ”
Jiang De nodded, and said to Hu Sanniang, "My guard battalion defended Dazhai in this battle, with the most casualties, and now the guard battalion is expanded to be the guard regiment, Niu Gao is the regiment commander, and there are two subordinate battalions, Li Zhong and Huadiao are divided into battalion commanders, Hu Sanniang, you are Huadiao's deputy, and you are the deputy battalion commander, how about it?" ”
Hu Sanniang bowed and said, "Sanniang obeys!" ”
Jiang De looked at Luan Tingyu again and said, "Luan Tingyu! ”
Luan Tingyu walked out and gestured to everyone.
Jiang De continued, "You have the courage of ten thousand people, you can be described as a hero, and you have experience in commanding troops and training troops in Zhujiazhuang, that night attack on our army's Dazhai, it can be seen that there is courage and strategy, and now Luan Tingyu is the head of the regiment, one of the three main generals, leading a thousand soldiers!" ”
Luan Tingyu also knew for a long time that the biggest one on Liangshan except for the owner of the village was the head of the regiment, but he didn't see that Niu Gao had just been promoted to the head of the regiment. Therefore, he also said happily: "Luan Tingyu obeys the order!" ”
Jiang De said again: "Shi Xiu! ”
Shi Xiu walked out and said to Jiang De, "Shi Xiu is here!" ”
Jiang De said, "Shi Xiu first said Li Jiazhuang in this battle, and then saved Huadiao, and he made a great contribution, and was promoted to the deputy commander of the Guards Battalion and the deputy general of Li Zhong!" ”
Shi Xiu was overjoyed and said, "Shi Xiu obeys the order!" ”
Jiang De finally said: "Lu Zhishen! ”
Lu Zhishen came out and bowed, "Sprinkle the family!" ”
Jiang De said with a smile, "The master's martial arts are extraordinary, this battle captured the two generals, and opened up the relationship between the Jurchen tribes, and now he is the head of the regiment and the main general of Dazhai!" ”
Lu Zhishen smiled and said, "Haha, the Sprinkle family is a general again now, and the Sprinkle family will receive the order!" ”
Jiang De said, "The cavalry battalion and the golden gun battalion have made great contributions in this battle, and they have been promoted to regimental levels, and Qin Ming and Xu Ning are divided into regimental commanders. ”
Qin Ming and Xu Ning came out together and thanked them.
Jiang De said to Xu Guanzhong, "Other meritorious soldiers, please also ask the military advisor to reward and promote according to the merits in the merit book, in accordance with the regulations, and the casualties will be compensated, there must be no mistake!" ”
"Yes!" Xu Guanzhong replied to Jiang De.
After Jiang De finished speaking, Chao Gai spoke again, Chao Gai said to Jiang De, "The owner of the village, during the expedition of the owner of the village, there is also a good man who goes up the mountain, this person has a good bow and arrow, I am afraid that there are only a handful of people who can beat him on the mountain, and they can be seen." ”
"Oh?" Jiang De was puzzled, in such a long time, Chao Gai has never recommended anyone, Jiang De asked, "Who is it?" ”
Chao Gai shouted outside, "Pang Wanchun, come in!" ”
Pang Wanchun? As soon as Jiang De heard this name, his eyes lit up, and after a while, he saw a man in his twenties walking in, this person had slender arms, a white face and a short beard, and a big bow on his back, showing the color of purple and gold, not like ordinary products. went to the Juyi Hall and bowed to the previous one and said, "Bozhou Pang Wanchun has seen the owner of the village, the deputy owner of the village, gentlemen, leaders!" ”
Jiang De looked at Pang Wanchun, and was happy in his heart, this Pang Wanchun is not simple, he is the number one archery master in Jiangnan in "Water Margin", he can stand side by side with Hua Rong, there are seven people in Liangshan's hands, and they are a little arrogant, but they can be regarded as brave and strategic, and they can be described as generals.
Jiang De asked Pang Wanchun, "The master of Chaozhai admires you very much, what skills do you have?" ”
Pang Wanchun thought for a while and said, "This skill is not taken seriously, please rest less!" ”
As he spoke, Pang Wanchun walked out, and everyone only heard a bow in the hall, and then after a while, they heard something heavy hitting the roof of the Juyi Hall, and then rolled all the way down.
Pang Wanchun came over for a while, came in with a dead big bird in his hand and said, "It's also luck, I met a team of swans and dedicated it to the two village owners!" ”
"Good archery!" Jiang De clapped his hands and shouted, and the others also praised loudly, which made Pang Wanchun a little embarrassed.
Jiang De said to everyone, "The two armies are fighting, with bows and arrows first, today God sent me a magic archer, it will be the will of heaven, Pang Wanchun, I ordered you to recruit and train three thousand archers, but my Liangshan military position needs merit in exchange, so you are temporarily the head of the head of the army, and there is no military position, are you willing?" ”
Pang Wanchun was also convinced when he heard it, and said, "The owner of the village knows the law very well, and the villain is willing to serve!" ”
Jiang De snorted and said, "These three thousand archers, you must be able to open a strong bow and a hard crossbow, and I will be of great use in the future, I will give you half a year, can you?" ”
Pang Wanchun said loudly, "Please rest assured, if you can't train a male army, please take a certain head!" ”
Jiang De said to Zhu Wu, "These 3,000 people do not have a regiment first, they are divided into six battalions, and the officers of each battalion are strong and weak. ”
Zhu Wu arched his hand and said, "Obey!" ”
At this point, Jiang De's Liangshan soldiers and horses in his hands had a total of thirteen regiments and eight battalions of the amphibious horse army, totaling more than 17,000 people, but there were many vacancies, and soldiers and horses needed to be recruited.
People are easy to recruit, but armor is a problem, the weapons and equipment of the Song Dynasty have reached a peak in terms of cold weapons, whether it is heavy armor or bows and crossbows are not comparable to the previous dynasty, in this regard, even the later generations of Jiang De can not think of anything that can be completely innovated technology to make the cold weapons of Liangshan soldiers and horses can form a generation gap with the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty.
Jiang Dezhi thought again and again, unless the points were exchanged for alloy weapons in later generations on a large scale, it was impossible to be like some people in the Qin and Han dynasties, there was a situation where I cut you and you couldn't cut me, and in the end, Jiang De still set his sights on gunpowder.
But gunpowder weapons are easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to do, the composition of gunpowder is naturally simple for Jiang De, but the cannon body and the barrel of the musket want to be made, for the craftsmen of the Song Dynasty, the difficulty is no less than that of the Chinese workers in the liberation period of the later generations to develop tanks, Jiang De can only let Lei Heng test the production of steel barrels on Ciyang Mountain, and let Gongsun Sheng test the production of copper barrels on Liangshan.
On the other hand, Jiang De arranged manpower to make armor, of course, why a newly excavated Ciyang Mountain would produce so much steel, no one would know, but when Gongsun Sheng, who was in charge of manufacturing, looked at the steel in a warehouse, his mouth was wide open and he could swallow a fist, and then the others found that Gongsun Daochang didn't know why he was particularly concerned about Supreme Heavenly Venerable in those days.

"The birds in the trees are in pairs
Green water and green mountains with smiling faces
Pick a flower at will
I have a hair room with my wife
and from now on no more slavery
Husband and wife both return home! On the stage, a man dressed as a farmer was singing, and in the private room on the second floor opposite the stage, a man in a brocade robe was beating along with the lyrics, his eyes slightly closed, as if immersed in it, unable to extricate himself.
Around him, there were several people, old and young, all shaking their heads and being extremely obsessed.
A man who looked the oldest suddenly opened his eyes, and saw a clean-faced man waiting outside the door next to him, he stood up, and was about to walk out, when he heard the man in brocade say, "Miss Yi's little sheng is singing more and more, and the Tsing Yi of the teacher girl is really a perfect match!" The man in brocade opened his eyes and said, "Master, where are you going?" ”
Cai Jing smiled and said to Zhao Ji, "The old minister saw that Liang Neiguan was outside, there might be something important, so the old minister wanted to ask first, if it was really important, let him report it to the official family to know, if it was not an important matter, let him retreat first." ”
Zhao Ji said with satisfaction: "Taishi Lao Cheng holds the country, I am the most assured." ”
Cai Jing arched his hand again, walked backwards to the door, closed the door of the private room, looked at Liang Shicheng and said, "Neiguan Liang, what do you need to run here?" Don't you know that now is the time for officials to listen to the play? ”
Where does Liang Shicheng not know Zhao Ji's new preference, since Qionglou began to perform dramas externally, as long as it is the play of Li Shishi and Yi Fengnu, Zhao Ji is a dignified Song official, it is not a single one, and thanks to Li Shishi and Yi Fengnu do not sing every day, but only appear once every ten days, otherwise don't say that the king will not be in court early, this king will not return to the palace at all!
Liang Shicheng bowed to Cai Jing and said, "Taishi, if this is not something important, where does the old slave dare to come at this time, Jingdong West Road is urgent, there is a micro thief Song Jiang broke Pei County, opened a warehouse to release grain, recruited troops and horses, and there is Liangshan thief Jiang Xinzhi, who destroyed a place called Zhujiazhuang in Yunzhou, and now the people of Jingxi Road are panicking!" ”
Although Liang Shicheng was more and more favored by Zhao Ji, not only began to be responsible for the compilation of "Daozang", but also often accompanied him, but he did not have experience in these things as the older generation of traitors like Cai Jing, he hurriedly ran to inform Zhao Ji after getting the news, but Cai Jing smiled slightly, not in a hurry, this is a county rebellion, what is it.
Cai Jing said to Liang Shicheng, "I said Liang Neiguan, I thought it was the surrender of Western Xia, what kind of big deal is the rebellion in this county?" Still need to alarm the officials? If such a thing is put in front of the official family, what good can it be except to annoy the official family? ”
When Liang Shicheng heard this, he couldn't react a little and said, "That... In the opinion of the Grand Master, what should be done in this matter? ”
Cai Jing looked at Liang Shicheng's eager expression, thought about it, and felt that it would be beneficial for him to have a good relationship with Liang Shicheng in his future, so he said, "The civil rebellion on Jingdong and West Road, in the final analysis, was caused by Kutian, so that some people had no land and could only die in the rivers and lakes, but there must not be many people, and the ordnance must be uneven, only need to send one or two generals to lead a road of military horses to encircle and suppress, as long as the arrangements are properly made, the encirclement and suppression are completed, and then inform the official family, the official family will not only not blame, but will say that I will do things later, and I know not to bother him with these trivial matters." ”
Liang Shicheng patted his head vigorously and said, "I see! Fortunately, there is a master here, otherwise I would have collided with the official family this time. ”
Cai Jing smiled and said, "Yes, I already know about this matter, I will send an army to strangle it, since you are here, you will come in together to listen to the play, if the official asks, he will say that he heard that today's play is a new play, and his heart is itching, so I came, hoping to eavesdrop on a few fairy sounds!" ”
When Liang Shicheng heard this, he gave Cai Jing a thumbs up, and sighed in his heart, Cai Jing can still be a saint at such an age, there really is a set.
Sure enough, when Zhao Ji heard Liang Shicheng say this, he laughed happily, applauded and said, "It turns out that Aiqing is also a bosom friend, okay, let's listen to it together, this "Tianxian Pei" is interesting... Oh, this drama may make Aiqing uncomfortable, or Aiqing still won't listen to it, right? ”
Liang Shicheng looked at Zhao Ji incomprehensibly, and then looked at everyone, causing everyone to laugh, Cai Jing next to him looked at the laughing people, but he thought about the chaotic situation on Jingxi Road at this time, for some reason, Cai Jing always felt that there was something wrong with the chaos on Jingxi Road.
That night, Cai Jing returned home and was preparing to dispatch troops to deal with the thieves in the east and west of Beijing, but the news from the starry night in the northwest made him immediately forget about the affairs of East and West Road, and just let the local government strictly prevent theft.
