Chapter 111 Yang Huaiyu, the head of the cavalry
It was the knight who led the middle of the five horsemen who was talking to Zhong Hao, and when he saw Zhong Hao looking at him with a slight doubt, he raised his hand and lifted the mask of the helmet, and said with a smile: "Haha, it's the little brother Zhongrong!" As he spoke, he jumped off the war horse and came to Zhong Hao, and the four knights behind him also jumped off the war horse. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Zhong Hao saw Yang Huaiyu coming to him, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Zhong Rong is going to give the eldest brother a dismount, you guys came over and scared me a lot!" It's a good thing I wasn't scared away by you, otherwise it would be a shame! Fortunately, you are wearing our big Song armor clothes, otherwise I thought that such a few people from the West Thieves would dare to come to the camp, and I almost let people release arrows! Haha, but your riding skills are really amazing, big brother admires it! Zhong Hao gave a thumbs up as he spoke, he really thought that the riding skills of the few of them were great.
When Yang Huaiyu heard Zhong Hao's praise, he couldn't help but feel a little proud. He galloped over with a few generals, and he really deliberately wanted to show off his riding skills, so that Jingqiang Village would pay more attention to them, but he really didn't give it to Zhong Hao. At this time, hearing Zhong Hao say that he was deliberately giving him a horse, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, Yang Huaiyu saw that next to the fence on both sides of the walled gate, there were a few archers with bows and arrows, and they had just released the bowstring, it seemed that they were really almost making a sword and soldier meeting, and smiled awkwardly at the moment: "The little brother is reckless!" ”
Zhong Hao waved his hand and said, "It's okay, the eldest brother can still afford this kind of little joke", Zhong Hao patted Yang Huaiyu's armor as he spoke, and said with a smile: "With your Mingguang armor, I'm afraid that the bows and arrows in our village will be difficult to hurt!" ”
Yang Huaiyu heard Zhong Hao praise the armor, and couldn't help but feel a little stinky again, and said quite complacently: "Yes! The little brother's bright light armor weighs forty and six pounds, and is made of stainless steel, not to mention ordinary feather arrows, even armor-piercing cones are difficult to shoot through! Obviously, he was quite fond of his Mingguang armor, and he praised it very much.
Zhong Hao had no concept of all kinds of armor, and after listening to Yang Huaiyu's words, he praised loudly, "Good armor!" As for how good it is, Zhong Hao doesn't know. However, thinking about it, Yang Wenguang should not be bad for his son to get armor.
Zhong Hao and Han Hu led everyone into the camp and came to the large living room of Zhong Hao's barracks together.
The knights first led their horses to the shade and tied them, and then took a cloth bag containing beans from their horses, and let the horses chew there by themselves, and then came to the large living room.
Everyone came to the living room and sat down, but Yao served tea to everyone.
Zhong Hao opened his mouth and asked Yang Huaiyu, "Why does Zhong Rong have time to come here today?" ”
Yang Huaiyu picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said with a smile: "Isn't there a shortage of cavalry instructors and equestrian instructors here, the younger brother came to Mao Sui to recommend himself, I wonder if the eldest brother can use it?" Yang Huaiyu was wearing that bright light armor, sitting on a simple chair in the living room, and the chair creaked as soon as he moved, Zhong Hao was really afraid that he would praise the chair!
Zhong Hao smiled: "That's a good feeling, if Zhong Rong can really come, the eldest brother can't ask for it!" However, the conditions here in our Jingqiang Village are quite simple and very difficult, and Zhongrong is afraid that he is too condescending here! "Yang Huaiyu led people to gallop outside the gate of the village, Zhong Hao saw that Yang Huaiyu had excellent riding skills, he wanted to be an equestrian instructor, and his riding skills were absolutely worthy. Besides, Yang Huaiyu is here as an equestrian instructor, and his relationship with Yang Wenguang will be closer in the future, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, Zhong Hao naturally can't ask for it!
"Haha, what's so condescending or not condescending, then it's decided, in the future, the little brother will be the equestrian instructor of this Jingqiang Village."
Zhong Hao arched his hand to Yang Huaiyu and said: "Zhong Rong can deign to come to Jingqiang Village, he can afford to look up to the eldest brother, and the eldest brother is here to thank you!" Zhong Hao is telling the truth, his Jingqiang Village is in ruins, and he is quite grateful that a son like Yang Huaiyu can come to be the head of the equestrian coach.
Yang Huaiyu said with a smile: "It's nothing, the little brother mainly wants to meet with the eldest brother often and listen to the eldest brother's teachings!" Of course, there is also the soju that I want to drink every day from my eldest brother. ”
Zhong Hao smiled: "Haha, this is easy to do, the soju workshop in Jingqiang Village is open to Zhongrong, you can drink as many tubes as you want!" ”
Yang Huaiyu introduced the four knights who came with him to Zhong Hao one by one. They are all generals of the Yang family, all veterans of the battlefield, and they have rich experience in fighting the Xia army.
Zhong Hao expressed his very welcome, and said that although the conditions of Jingqiang Village were poor, their treatment would be three times that of their treatment in Linzhou.
Zhong Hao asked Han Hu to go down and instruct the kitchen to prepare a table of banquets, and to pick up the wind for Yang Huaiyu and the five people at noon.
The banquet was simple, but it was generous.
In order to show his importance to Yang Huaiyu's five people, Zhong Hao asked Cui Feng, Wang San, Hou Quan, Han Hu, as well as Zheng Wentao, the capital of the Pingxi Army, and the commanders of the five battalions below, so that all the little minds in these Jingqiang villages were called.
They are all heroic men in the army, and they are familiar with each other after a banquet, and they call each other brothers.
After the banquet was over, Zhong Hao ordered Han Hu to take Yang Huaiyu and them to the arranged barracks. These barracks were specially cleaned up by Zhong Hao, and they are the best barracks in Jingqiang Village.
Originally, the generals of the Yang family were still quite complaining about coming to Jingqiang Village to be the head of the cavalry, but they had to obey the orders of the head of the family. However, after coming, when I heard that Zhong Hao gave three times the amount of money, and there was a lot of respect, I felt that this errand was not so troublesome.
……
The war battalion of Jingqiang Village is now under the temporary command of Cui Feng, and the establishment of the cavalry battalion of the Great Song Dynasty is the same, and there are also five capitals and five capitals. These five heads were all the best-trained soldiers selected from each of them some time ago. Of course, none of these positions are official, and none of them are appointed by the commander.
Zhong Hao planned to wait for the future war battalion to have some combat strength, and then formally apply for their appointment. In the future, the war battalion will be the main combat force of the Pingxi Army. Now, in order to maintain their enthusiasm, it is only temporary, and if they do not perform well, they will be removed at any time, and naturally there will be no chance to turn positive.
Now there are no war horses in Jingqiang Village, so naturally there is no equestrian training. Zhong Hao arranged for Yang Huaiyu and the five people to temporarily explain the knowledge and precautions of cavalry combat to the war camp, as well as the experience of fighting with the Xia army.
After that, Zhong Hao asked Yang Huaiyu and the five of them to be responsible for each capital, and discussed with the heads of each capital to formulate some training plans before getting on the horse, and conducted some training before the soldiers in each capital.
Yang Huaiyu is very attentive, obviously he wants to make some achievements. Zhong Hao is very satisfied with him, a son-in-law of a Jiangmen family, there are not many people who have this seriousness.
However, Zhong Hao and Yang Huaiyu pulled themselves to accompany him and wine every day, which was a headache. It was fine at first, but after drinking for a while, Zhong Hao couldn't stand it. Although this Yang Huaiyu is not very old, he drinks a lot, and he drinks continuously, without any hangover effect, Zhong Hao is really not an opponent. After being drunk by him several times in a row, I never wanted to drink with him again.
Zhong Hao didn't finish training in the evening barracks, so he ran out to inspect Jingqiang Village. Because, usually at this time, Yang Huaiyu will come to him and start drinking. Zhong Hao couldn't drink it anymore, so he had to hide out. Yang Huaiyu couldn't wait for Zhong Hao, so he had to go back and drink with his family.
Always couldn't wait for Zhong Hao, Yang Huaiyu finally stopped pulling Zhong Hao to drink, and Zhong Hao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. I don't know how this guy's stomach grows, he drinks like this all day long, and he doesn't feel uncomfortable, Zhong Hao is really unreliable.
However, although Zhong Hao avoided Yang Huaiyu and pulled him to drink, he couldn't treat him slowly. Every day, Zhong Hao asked Ke Yao to cook a few specialty dishes for Yang Huaiyu to cook wine and food every night.
Ke Yao is now under the guidance of Zhong Hao, and has already learned to stir-fry. Ke Yao is quite ingenious and loves to ponder, and soon his stir-fry skills have surpassed himself in Zhong Hao's opinion.
In fact, Yang Huaiyu came to drink with Zhong Hao every day, mainly because he wanted to eat stir-fried vegetables made by Ke Yao. I've never eaten this stir-fried dish in Linzhou, and its taste is really delicious.
Since Zhong Hao asked Ke Yao to send stir-fried vegetables to Yang Huaiyu's barracks every day, Yang Huaiyu didn't go to pull Zhong Hao to drink, anyway, there were stir-fried vegetables to eat, in fact, Yang Huaiyu felt that drinking with Zhong Hao's kind of people who drank and grinded was far less enjoyable than drinking with his own heroic general!
If Zhong Hao knew that Yang Huaiyu used to come to his place every day to drink with him, it would not be as he said in his mouth that he smelled like him and admired his knowledge, but for Ke Yao's stir-fried dishes, I was afraid that he would vomit blood in anger: I really treat you as a confidant in vain!
……
The construction and development of Jingqiang Village, although it has just started, is basically on the right track.
Zhong Hao felt that the plan to build a school could be put on the agenda!
It is also a big problem that the children in the families of the Pingxi Army are left unattended all day long, and the education of these children can be the future of the Pingxi Army, and education must be grasped from an early age.
Zhong Hao felt that it was necessary to build a school so that the children could learn some knowledge from primary school and improve the quality of the soldiers of the Pingxi Army in the future.
There are not many soldiers in the elite, and a box army like the Pingxi Army is ten armies, and when it encounters an elite cavalry battalion, it is estimated that it will only be slaughtered. In fact, in Zhong Hao's planning, in the future, the five battalions of the Pingxi Army, except for some craftsmen who can select crafts to form a craftsman battalion, the rest are planned to retire and turn into civilian registration.
Of course, the reason why these Pingxi Army sergeants joined the Xiang Army was because they couldn't survive for the people, and they joined the Xiang Army in order to eat, and Zhong Hao couldn't rudely let them retire and leave it alone. When Zhong Hao arrives, he will naturally give them a part of the fields in Jingqiang Village, so that they can farm with peace of mind.
The combat effectiveness of these box troops on the battlefield is actually to deliver food to people, it is better to farm with peace of mind and provide some food to Jingqiang Village.
As for the war battalion in the future, it will definitely occupy a battalion share in the Pingxi Army, and the craftsman battalion will also occupy one, as for the other three battalions, Zhong Hao plans to recruit some according to his own requirements after the development of Jingqiang Village in the future, at least after training, it must be able to form a certain combat power. Except for these soldiers in the battle barracks, most of the soldiers in the Pingxi Army have too poor foundations, and even if they are retrained, it is difficult to have any combat strength.
In fact, Zhong Hao values the soldiers of the Pingxi Army the most, and he will select some of those teenagers in the future and train them from an early age. These teenagers are malleable, and instilling the concept of loyalty and the idea of family and country from an early age will make it easier for them to form good values, so as to ensure their loyalty to themselves and loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty. And unlike these soldiers of the Pingxi Army today, they don't have their own values, they just live for the sake of living.
Of course, these are relatively distant assumptions. Zhong Hao just thought about it casually in his heart, in fact, he felt that he might not be able to wait for the young man of the Pingxi Army to grow up, and he might leave here. Zhong Hao came here mostly to make some achievements for his father-in-law and add some weight to marrying Fu Ruozhu. In fact, in his heart, when he married Fu Ruolan, he was still willing to live a peaceful and stable life in the mainland, and he really didn't want to live a life of fear in the border all day long.
But now that Zhong Hao is in his position, he has to find a job. Zhong Hao felt that now that he had received this errand, he had to do it well. Since he brought the Pingxi Army here, he also wants to let them live a better life.
After selecting an open space in the camp, Zhong Hao began to command some soldiers from the Pingxi Army to start building the academy.
After hearing that this school was built for the children in the village, and that all children under the age of twelve in the village could be enrolled for free, the soldiers of the Naping Western Army were extremely enthusiastic and worked hard.
In the eyes of the soldiers of the Pingxi Army, they have suffered all their lives in this life, and naturally they don't want their juniors to suffer like them. They feel that children only need to read and hyphenate to change their lives. Therefore, the soldiers of the Pingxi Army are extremely grateful to Zhong Jiyi, who not only gave them food and gave them a way to live, but also created life-changing opportunities for their juniors.
Zhong Hao felt that no matter how hard he was, he couldn't be bitter for the children, so the requirements for the construction of the school were extremely strict, and the construction standards were also very high. In fact, without Zhong Hao's request, the soldiers of the Pingxi Army are naturally willing to build the best school for their children, and there will be no cutting corners.
With the joint efforts of Zhong Hao and the soldiers of the Pingxi Army, a school was quickly built.
Although the classrooms of the school are still adobe walls, they are made of bluestone, and the houses are built very tall and strong. The walls were scraped with white ash and sand, and they were very white.
There are many tables and chairs neatly arranged in the three spacious and bright classrooms, and the tables and chairs in the room are all with the aroma of fresh wood, although rough, but very strong, you can see that the craftsmen have put their hearts.
According to Zhong Hao's request, the craftsmen also hung a large wooden board in front of the three classrooms, and painted it with black dye, which was to be used as a blackboard. As for the chalk, Zhong Hao decided to replace it with plaster strips.
Looking at this school, Zhong Hao was very satisfied, it seems that these soldiers of the Pingxi Army are still very concerned about their juniors learning knowledge.
This made Zhong Hao very pleased, at least it means that they are not numb to the oppression of life, and they are still motivated to break free from this difficult life, at least they have expectations for their younger generations. (To be continued.) )
