Chapter XXVIII

Mei Xiaohan wanted to know very much what kind of situation it was like in Raozhou, which was thousands of miles away.

The sudden appearance of potatoes, will this be a signal, or a hint, or...

Mei Xiaohan was upset, didn't dare to think about it, and didn't want to think about it anymore.

He regretted making Mo Wanliang what he is now, in case Mo Wanliang couldn't bear it and died, he wouldn't be able to get what he wanted from his mouth, all of this was unimaginable.

It has been a few days since the Yangcheng army entered Mo Village, and now what the situation in the city is, everything is unknown.

The establishment of the Yangcheng Army gave Mei Xiaohan a psychological comfort, and now he can finally transform a team with his own hands, and he can at least get a sense of security with his own team.

All security needs to be supported by a strong force, and the army, a strong army is the best embodiment.

Since the chaos at the end of the Tang Dynasty, after five dynasties and ten countries, there have been constant wars. The Song Dynasty finally completed the great unification again, and decades of war led to a large loss of horses in the northern regions, and even the war horses of the nomadic tribes.

The defense line of the frontier has not been stable since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty. The iron cavalry of the foreign tribe easily stepped through, and the long border defense line could break at any time.

Engels pointed out: "Every conquest carried out by a more barbaric nation has self-evidently hindered economic development and destroyed a large number of productive forces."

The nomadic people living on the earth have conquered civilized peoples many times. There is always a dark fault line in civilization. And civilization has completely changed its original trajectory and original direction.

The Song Dynasty implemented a conscription system in the military system. However, most of the recruits were famine victims, and a system of raising soldiers was implemented to recruit hungry people as soldiers during disaster years.

At the same time, the Song Dynasty encouraged the children of the battalion to take over from their fathers and brothers as soldiers, or to use criminals to fill the army, and sometimes to capture the people as soldiers when there was a shortage of soldiers. If you are successful, you will be with you for life.

In the system of selection, in the spring and autumn of each year, according to the upper, middle, lower three standards for assessment and training, there are martial arts and strong, from the original box army to the forbidden army, martial arts are particularly outstanding, will also give rewards, can be supplied to the rank of the officer.

Those whose martial arts skills are inferior to the next class will be demoted from the horse army to the infantry army, and those who are not inferior will be demoted to the box army.

The forbidden army, the box army, and the Turkish army were all discharged from the army at sixty, and the original benefits were halved.

There are bereavement pensions for the families of the deceased soldiers, and there are corresponding consolations for the disabled.

Mei Xiaohan wants to build a powerful "Yangcheng Army", especially in a chaotic situation. Large numbers of displaced people began to move to the more remote mountainous areas, and the city was already divided by several large separatist forces, and the smaller separatist forces moved to the outskirts of the city. There are also small and medium-sized separatist forces such as the "Yangcheng Army" that have moved to the village.

At this moment, the entire Mo Village, including the Great Smoky Mountains and the Mohu Lake and Mohe River surrounding Mojia Village, were all controlled by the "Yangcheng Army", and more and more new members joined in.

Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were copied from Mo Wan's family, and with such a large sum of silver, it was enough to maintain the team's recent expenses, but this was far from enough. Staying in a small village for a long time is not a long-term solution after all.

The next day, Mo Wanliang woke up, and the whole person became very weak and dying.

In extreme fear, Mo Wanliang confessed the origin of the potatoes.

More than two months ago, there was a news from Raozhou: a magical golden pimple was born and became famous for a while. Although the price is expensive, the upper class of society and the wealthy class are eager to buy it.

In order to obtain this magical golden lump, merchants began to speculate on it, and the price of potatoes once reached 500 yuan per songjin.

The price of reselling to other places has increased several times, and the merchants are unfavorable. Mo Wanliang saw the business opportunity and made a windfall. And his potatoes were bought from a merchant surnamed Yun.

As soon as she heard the businessman surnamed Yun, Mei Xiaohan immediately thought of the child who called herself "Yun Ye".

is surnamed Yun again, Mei Xiaohan guessed that it was Yun Ziming. Yun Ziming is a foreigner, and his identity is also prominent, so how can he start a business, it is unknown.

Mei Xiaohan didn't believe that anyone had the ability to grow potatoes in a few months.

Mo Wan insisted that he bought the golden lump from the merchant surnamed Yun, and he didn't know anything else.

"Raozhou... What exactly happened. ”

The situation in the eight counties of Yunchuan Prefecture is so uncertain now, it is still unknown whether the Yangcheng army can break through the encirclement, and where can it take care of Raozhou, which is thousands of miles away.

Mei Xiaohan's face was full of sorrow. Shaking the gourd in his hand, he wanted to break the small gourd several times, but he couldn't help it.

"The hosts... Why is it so sad and unhappy? ”

"I..." Mei Xiaohan wanted to speak, but he closed it again, he couldn't tell Yutong all this.

Tang Songming and Shi Hu took the Yangcheng army to copy six households in Mo Village, and a large amount of silver was used to ensure the recruitment of soldiers and solve the problem of military salaries.

With the addition of more and more outcasts, family members, and rogues, the number of the Yangcheng army increased to one thousand. With the growth of the team, the reputation of the "Yangcheng Army" of Mo Village began to spread in Yangcheng County.

Unintentionally inserted willows and willows, Mei Xiaohan did not expect that the development and growth of the Yang City Army would come so quickly and so quickly.

The current Yangcheng army is regarded as a big force in the entire Yangcheng. And there are only three teams like the Yangcheng Army in the entire Yangcheng County.

The "Ding Family Army" in Wencheng Town, Yangcheng, the "Zhao Family Army" in the south of Yangcheng and the "Liu Family Army" in the north of the south of the city.

The current situation in Yangcheng is divided by the Ding, Zhao, and Liu families. Among them, the number of Ding Jiajun is 3,000, the number of Zhao Jiajun is 3,005, and the number of Liu Jiajun is 6,000.

During a battle for Xihua Town, Yangcheng, the Ding family army dispatched eight hundred, and the Zhao family army dispatched one thousand to start the competition, but after being cut off by the Liu family army, after the Ding and Zhao families fought in Xihua Town, the three thousand troops of the Liu family army surrounded Xihua and wiped out the remnants of Ding Zhao, who was trapped in the army.

The Ding and Zhao families no longer have the strength to compete with Liu Jiajun, and at this time, Liu Jiajun was dominant in Yangcheng. And has the ambition to disintegrate and annex the remaining small forces in Yangcheng one by one.

An army of 1,000 people entrenched in a small village is far from meeting the requirements of development, and there is not enough land and land. The Yangcheng army will soon follow in the footsteps of the Ding and Zhao families, be swallowed up by more powerful forces, and eventually be stillborn.

At present, the Yangcheng Army must use a victory to obtain its legitimate status, a victory to boost morale, and a victory to play the existence and prestige of the Yangcheng Army.

Then, what distressed Mei Xiaohan was that the Yangcheng army did not have a commander with enough prestige, and he did not have a big army division like Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu.

Tang Songming, Lin Hao, Shi Hu and the two guards who have been following him are among the few people Mei Xiaohan can appoint at present.

"Rain Boy!"

The martial arts are superb and hidden. All the information that Mei Xiaohan knew about Yutong was heard by the drunken Guo Xiao during a chat with Guo Xiao, the general of Fengyu City.

After getting drunk, Guo Xiao said madly: "On martial arts, Yutong is called second in Fengyu City, and I, Guo Xiao, dare not say first!" It's just a pity! That rain boy is a humble person..."

Mei Xiaohanxuan, who needs to cultivate her own power, even if she recruits the humble Yu Tong to her side, in Mei Xiaohan's many distress journeys, the rain boy can save the day, and Mei Xiaohan regards the rain boy as her own for this reason.
