Zhe Keda shook his head and said, "This is a bit slow, I can't wait for the whole army to change into this cotton coat by the end of this year." ”

Jiang De smiled, "It's just a few years, we've been fighting with the West Thieves for decades, can't we wait?" What's more, even if there is no Western Xia, there is still a Khitan, and without the Khitan, we have to wear it ourselves. ”

When Zhe Keda heard it, he smiled and said, "Xiao Langjun is right!" Xiao Langjun, you just said that you want to visit our Fold Army? ”

Jiang De nodded and said, "It's rude to say, but what I liked most since I was a child was to listen to the stories of our Western Army fighting Western thieves, and I was very curious about our Western Army's broken family army and seed generals, so..."

Zhe Keda sighed and said, "What's this?" But just look at it, it's not something unsightly, but it's getting late today, so let's eat and drink in my house today, and I will also introduce some of our Zhejia talents and Xiao Langjun You know, it's good to move around in the future, and wait for tomorrow to go to the barracks to have a look, how about it? ”

Jiang De arched his hand and said, "Just listen to the fair." ”

Under the banquet, more than a dozen teenagers and girls walked in, Jiang De looked at it, and only saw that most of the men were tall, and the women were all sassy, worthy of being a ten-generation military family.

Zhe Ke introduced and said, "These are the leaders of the new generation of my Zhe family, come on, let me introduce, this is Jiang Dejiang Xiaolangjun, from the Daimyo Mansion, people are real readers, the books written are even applauded by the officials, and they also started from scratch, creating a large number of foundations, which is really amazing."

These are the unicorns of our family, which can be saved, sought, and shared, folded, folded, folded, folded, folded ”

Jiang De and everyone saw it one by one, looked at the girls again, and said again, "These are the pearls of my family, Zhimeifeng, Zhimeiluan, Zhiyuexiu, Zhiyueru, Zhiyuezhi, Zhiyuemei." ”

Jiang De heard all kinds of meat, the names of these people are so similar, where do you remember it, but keep giving it up, one of the young people smiled and said, "Family master, is this the legendary Qionglou with Qiong wine?" I wonder if Xiao Langjun brought wine? ”

Jiang De laughed and said, "I, Jiang De, don't have anything else, but the wine is enough." You can rest assured! ”

Zhe Ke glared at the young man and said, "Yes, save it!" Why is there no rule like this? When guests come to our house, they don't give wine to eat, it's our troops, where is the rule of asking guests for wine? ”

The young man stuck out his tongue, Jiang De sighed and said, "I see that this brother is not much different in age from me, it is the time to love to play, why blame the father-in-law, and I did bring a lot of fine wine this time, all of which are my family's Qiong wine, and I hope that if you drink it and think it is good, you will publicize it more, and when my Qionglou opens here, there will be guests from all over the world!" ”

Zhi Keda looked at Jiang De and shook his head with a sigh and said, "Xiao Langjun, I now know why you can do business so big, you really don't miss an opportunity to do business." ”

Jiang De said with a smile, "The family is big, a bunch of people want me to feed, there is no way, and I heard that there are a lot of fine wines in the northwest, and you can also sell it in my Qionglou!" ”

When Zhi Keda heard this, his eyes lit up, how much profit is from wine, he is very clear, the Zhi family can be in the northwest for so many years, in addition to daring to fight, but also rely on countless businesses to make money, this wine is one of them, but the taste of the northwest wine is mostly strong, it is difficult to sell in the Central Plains, but since this Qionglou can make such a peerless wine as Qiong wine, I am afraid there is no secret, if you can pull the Zhi family to do it together, the Zhi family may be able to organize an ironclad cavalry again.

A group of young people ate wine together, at the beginning it was still in order, as soon as the wine came up, they began to mess around, Jiang De also completely saw the heroism of the children of the northwest, this is a distilled liquor, whether it is the smallest Zhiyue Mei or as the head of the family, each is a bowl to the wine, unceremoniously, Jiang De alone is the opponent of so many people, and it didn't take long to be poured into a lot of meat, but he also really had more feelings with these children in the northwest.

As soon as the wine arrived, if it was the Central Plains, it was probably about to chant poetry right, but in the Zhejia, it was to catch the right wrestling, looking at the bonfire burning in the courtyard and the brothers of the Zhejia who were wrestling and competing, Jiang De suddenly had a sense of time and space confusion, was he really not in Mongolia?

"Haha, it's a good fight! Xiao Langjun don't be surprised, our family was originally naturalized by foreigners, and we have guarded the border for the country for many years, so many times it is still more insulting. Zhe Keda probably thought of something and said to Jiang De.

Jiang De shook his head with a smile and said, "This is not an insult, in the past, Confucius had archery in the six arts, and he drank alcohol on weekdays, and Confucius might also organize students to shoot arrows for fun, I see, this is quite ancient!" ”

"Haha! That's a good point! You kid talks to Lao Tzu likes it! "Zhe Keda also drank a little too much, and gradually stopped paying attention to what he said, and Lao Tzu was screaming.

Jiang De also drank up, drank another glass, stood on the stage and shouted, "Happy today, I, Jiang De, also sing a song for you in order to add to the fun!" ”

"Oh? Xiao Langjun is going to sing, come on, come on! Take my sword, I'll dance and cheer! Zhe Ke shouted, and the others quickly threw a sword to Zhi Keda, Zhe Ke shook his hand, the iron sword came out of the sheath, the snow flashed, and the person had landed.

Jiang De looked at Xu Guanzhong and shouted, "General order!" ”

Xu Guanzhong laughed, took the chopsticks and knocked on the bowl, which is the general's order that has been passed down from the Tang Dynasty to the present.

"General's order? Me too! Zhe Meiluan, who was in her twenties, also picked up chopsticks and knocked them with Xu Guanzhong.

"Arrogant! Laughing proudly, hot blood! Hot beats red daylight! ”

A song made everyone look at Jiang De, this is a lyric that has never been heard before, and the songs I hear on weekdays are completely different.

"Guts! Like! Iron! Bone! Like! Stainless steel!! Jiang De roared word by word, "Thousands of minds, thousands of miles of vision, vow to work hard and strive for self-improvement!" ”

"Be a good man

Be a good man

Be self-reliant every day

Hot-blooded man

Hot beats red daylight

Let Haitian gather energy for me

Go and break new ground

Go for my ideals! Jiang De sang loudly, Xu Guanzhong and a few young people and girls of the Zhe family played music with bowls and chopsticks, Zhe Keda only felt his blood boiling, and the sword stabbed and slashed, only feeling extremely happy.

Everyone sang and danced, and no one will forget this night.

- The next day

"Xiao Langjun, look, this is our Folded Family Army, how about it? Isn't it mighty? Zhi Keqiu pointed to the troops below and said to Jiang De.

Jiang De looked down, thousands of troops gathered together, murderous, at first glance, they were the elites who had been on the battlefield, but looking at the armor, most of them were a little broken.

Jiang De nodded and said, "Sure enough, the master of the tiger and wolf, it's just that this armor seems to be about to be replaced." ”

Zhe Keqiu sighed and said, "The northwest is poor, and it is not easy for the imperial court to transport food and armor, so if you can wear these clothes, you can wear them first, and the brothers do not dislike them." ”

Jiang De sighed, expressed his understanding, and asked in half, "Brother Keqiu, can you tell me why the Western Army is the strongest among all armies, and the Zhejia Army and the Seed Family Army are the leaders of the Western Army?" ”

After asking the deputy general to lead the army to start the drill, he walked off the stage with Jiang De and said to Jiang De, "Xiao Langjun, what do you think these people who came to join the army for?" ”

Jiang De didn't think about it, so he said, "One is to protect the family and defend the country, not to be bullied by thieves, and the other is to eat a full meal." ”

Zhi Keqiu nodded and said, "Xiao Langjun really sees clearly, I am poor in the northwest, but I am still often beaten or plundered by the western thieves, and the Song people in the entire northwest are miserable, most of these people you are looking at have some blood feuds with the western thieves, how can you not be brave?"

What's more, I have been guarding the border for a hundred years, and both my family and family wealth are in this northwest, if the invasion of the western thieves is successful, we will be the first to suffer, so we will naturally fight bravely.

But then again, in fact, whether it is the Western Xia, the Liao State or my Song State, there are few soldiers who are bent on becoming generals, they are just for food, and in my army, everyone can eat enough, each has a reward to spend, and there is merit to kill the enemy, how can you say that the armies can not die? ”

Jiang De hummed and agreed, whether it was the Song Dynasty or the future, there were only two points for any organization to have high morale, one was that everyone had enough to eat and enough income to support their families, and the second was that there was room for improvement, and everyone was willing to do things.

Of course, there are also some special groups of people in special periods, such as the group of people who are not well fed and clothed but have won the world, their goal is no longer to eat and dress themselves but to feed and clothe the whole world, and the realm of that group of people is not something that later generations or the ancients can easily do.

"What if... In the midst of a fierce battle, without food, will this army be defeated? Jiang De asked.

Zhe Keqiu said with a smile, "Of course, since ancient times, I have never seen an undefeated army without food, not to mention the food that will kill you if you don't eat it for a day, it is the military salary, if you don't pay it in place during the war, the mutiny is just a matter of a few days sooner or later, in the past at the end of the Tang Dynasty, there were many troops who couldn't get the money because they were pulled, and the friendly army was next to them, but they didn't do it, and even because of what military merit money couldn't get out of the camp, it was also countless." ”

Jiang De frowned, but he knew how the Western Army was defeated in the hands of Jin Bing, such a force was not the force he was looking for.

Thinking of this, Jiang De suddenly lost interest in the Zhejia Army, and then looked at the army's drills and formations, and left with Xu Guanzhong.

"Lord, the Zhejia Army is really a strong army, both equipment and training are first-class, why doesn't the lord seem to pay attention to it?" Xu Guanzhong asked curiously on the way.

Jiang De took a breath and said, "Such an army, whether it is in the Song army or in the Western Xia Daliao, can be said to be a first-class strong army, if it is taken out to attack head-on, I am afraid that few troops are their opponents." ”

Xu Guanzhong nodded, indicating that this is indeed the case, Jiang De continued, "But such a unit also has shortcomings, first, a large part of the combat courage of such a unit as the Zhejia Army is because of the protection of the family, and the motivation and discipline to fight in this northwest. But when it comes to the Central Plains and even the flowery world like Jiangnan, can it be the same disciplined?

Second, whether the Zhejia army is fighting or fighting, it must first give money and then send troops, what if the money is gone? Will this force collapse immediately?

Third, I don't know if you have found it, this Zhejia army is really a Zhejia army, and almost all the officers from senior to intermediate are members of the Zhejia family, of course, this is understandable, but is it really only the Zhejia family who can fight in this world? With so many soldiers and civilians under his family, don't there be any outstanding generals? What does this make the officers below think? There is such a cohesion of the troops, but I am afraid that favoritism is also indispensable. You say that such a troop, why should I care too much. ”

Xu Guanzhong admired his hand and said, "The lord knows the law very well, and the truth of the folded family army has been mastered by the lord." ”

Jiang De sighed, "But what I just said, any army exists, the army we want to create, can't be the same as other armies, Mr. Xu, we have to think of a way to go back, I hope our army is a force that can have firm beliefs no matter what happens, no matter what predicament, and fight to the end, it is a force that can fight no matter where it fights, and it is a force that can burst out with the strongest combat power no matter where it fights." ”

Xu Guanzhong bowed and said, "The students will definitely redouble their efforts when they go back and train such elite soldiers for the lord!" ”

Jiang De snorted and said, "Next, let's go to Yao's house, and then let's go to Shu." ”

The Yao family is very similar to the Zhe family, when they saw Jiang De's cotton, they also saw the prospect of cotton, and agreed to plant it, Jiang De stayed for a few days, and then continued to walk west, preparing to enter Shu from Qinfeng Road.

When they arrived at the Deshun Army and passed by Haoshuichuan, Jiang De and Xu Guanzhong discussed it and prepared to worship the martyrs of Haoshuichuan together.

Looking at the flowing good water river, looking back at the Liupan Mountain behind, the scenery here is beautiful, where can you imagine that there was an earth-shattering war here?

"Seventy years ago, the Western Thieves invaded, and our Song army was defeated here, and Ren Fu was deployed by the deputy capital of Huanqing Road to die by choking. His son Ren Huailiang was killed in battle, and Sang Yi, Liu Su, Wu Ying, Wang Qi, Zhao Jin, and Geng Fu were all killed in battle. How tragic..."Xu Guanzhong sighed and said, "At that time, the Western Army was ambushed on that Liupan Mountain. ”

Everyone looked, it was really a big mountain, Jiang De said, "Let's go, let's go to the mountain to see, this Li Yuanhao can build a country and dominate for a while, and he also has advantages, let's go and see how he arranged troops in the past." ”

Everyone entered the mountain together, walked for a while, and suddenly faintly heard a burst of shouts of killing.

"Where did this shout come from?" Niu Gao pulled out the golden mace and said as he looked around.

"Strange, this shouting and killing seems to be a child's voice, and why is there only a shouting and killing sound and no weapon confrontation?" Xu Guanzhong listened carefully and said.

"Everyone be careful, in this big mountain, it will be troublesome if you are ambushed, let's go up and have a look!" Jiang De waved his hand and said.
