Bianjing was besieged, and the imperial court also dismissed the military power of the master Dao and Li Gang, believed in Guo Jing's Jianghu techniques, pinned his hopes on Guo Jing, and handed over the responsibility of defending the city to this charlatan.

As a result, the millions of residents of Bianjing City are really in fear, and they are very worried that the Jin army will break through the city at any time.

When other states across the country heard that Bianjing was besieged and was in danger, the big camps in the north and south, and the envoys from all over the country raised their banners and raised troops to serve the king!

is called the king of raising troops, but in fact, each has a ghost in his heart!

In the past, the local festival was controlled by the Privy Council, and there was no right to transfer troops at all, only the right to command the army, but this time, it was a good opportunity that had not been seen in a century, under the banner of "King Qin", he could occupy the place and divide one side.

Therefore, the matter of King Qin also caused a situation of heavy thunder and little rain - on the surface, troops were raising troops from all over the country, but in fact, there were almost no troops that could really reach Bianjing to relieve the siege.

The reason is very simple, you want to lead troops to relieve the siege of Bianjing, but if you cross the state and cross the road, others will stop you.

Not to mention the large forces and bandits everywhere, the rebel armies from all walks of life who took advantage of the opportunity, even those who were in charge of the army, also controlled each other and refused to give in to each other.

If you want to go to Beijing to break the siege, you can, but you can't pass through my territory.

To put it bluntly, all over the south, I wish that no one in the imperial court would save it, and only when the Great Liang perishes can the world be redivided.

During the period when Bianjing City was besieged, all parts of the south, Jiedu envoys took advantage of the situation, bandits, robbers, rebels, and rogues were also everywhere.

In the vicinity of Yangzhou alone, there is Wu Songjiedu envoy Chen Tao, with 30,000 troops, occupying Chuzhou, Chuzhou, and Zhenzhou; There is a bandit in Wuling Mountain, Taizhou, gathering 20,000 or 30,000 minions, led by seven leaders, known as the "Seven Heroes of Taizhou"; The peasant rebel army had Liu Guangsi's Red Turban Army, which was active in Bozhou and Suzhou; There was also Fang La's old department, a man named Chen Tai, who gathered a rebel army of 50,000 people near Yangzhou, and the momentum was very strong.

……

On the city wall of Yongtai County, a red flag is being planted at this time, and there are four ink words on the red flag - "Fengzhao Qinwang"!

Flags are flying, hunting in the wind!

Under the city wall, a new army of 3,000 people is being inspected by the Song court, and the team is in a matrix row, neat and meticulous.

This new army of 3,000 people was recruited by the Song court in the past two months, and these soldiers have a basic requirement, that is, they can be literate.

The Song court wanted to build a well-disciplined new army that could really save the country, rather than just pulling people to fill it up like the rebels and bandits.

The first requirement of this army of 3,000 people is absolute loyalty to him, so when recruiting, he personally recruited them one by one, and loyalty is absolutely no problem.

The people of Yongtai County, in such troubled times, every household can barely eat enough, and the people know in their hearts that this is all due to the good governance of the horse master and the good treatment of the Li people, so the young people are actively enlisted in the army.

However, the need for literacy has made it difficult for most people to retreat, because the literacy rate in this era is less than 3%, and after the education reform in this county, the literacy rate can reach a high point of 5-8%, which is the highest level compared with other regions in this era.

In addition, the age must be over 18 years old, under 35 years old, in good health, and the horses must be recruited in person, one by one...... These demands have made the residents of this county wonder, is this really a conscription? Is it so difficult to be a soldier these days?

In their cognition, only those who can't afford to support their families and can't afford to eat can they be willing to send them to be soldiers to mix rations, otherwise who would be willing to go to the battlefield to die?

But soon the Song court announced the treatment of the new army to the public, which clearly stated: "The monthly subsidy is 1 tael ~ 2 taels of silver, and the enemy is rewarded as appropriate, such as killing a gold soldier, and the reward is 20 taels ......", in addition, there are bereavement pensions for the war dead, etc., all of which are written.

The monthly allowance fluctuates because it will be assessed according to peacetime training and battlefield performance, and the minimum subsidy for ordinary soldiers is 1 tael of silver, and the maximum subsidy is 2 taels of silver.

If it is a bandit, a rogue, etc., kill a maximum reward of 2 taels, and killing a golden soldier is different, get an ordinary golden soldier's head, you can reward 20 taels, and if it is a golden soldier ten captains, Baifu chief, it is a 10 times the reward.

When they saw that there was such a rich reward for being a soldier, the people of the county were tempted, and they all said that being a soldier eats food, and this time, there is not only food to eat, but also money, which is really a big surprise.

The martial arts drills of the New Army were given to Lu Junyi, while the practice of muskets and musket formations was taught by the Song court himself, and the courses in logistics and ideological education were given to Mr. Zhu.

The new army is divided into horse army and infantry army, and the horse army is only 200 people, which is also no way, there are not enough horses, 2800 infantry troops, and the infantry army is divided into musket battalion, spear battalion, sword and shield battalion, and bow and arrow battalion, of which 1800 musketeers, 300 pikemen, 300 sword and shield men, and 400 archers, and the sword and shield men and pikemen are mainly used to protect the musketeers.

Now the president of these 3,000 people is Lu Junyi, Yan Qing is in charge of the sword and shield battalion, Hu Sanniang is in charge of the bow and arrow battalion, Yang Zhao's martial arts are also not bad, and he is in charge of the spear battalion, while Cao Zhutou and Mr. Zhu are guarding the county government and providing logistics.

At this moment, Song Ting stood in the city tower, looking at the 3,000 people standing neatly below.

Although these 3,000 people only have weapons, no armor, and different clothes, they are full of enthusiasm, especially when they see the words "King Fengzhaoqin", they are simply enthusiastic!

They are doing something noble and great.

They are different from the bandits, rogues, and rebels who take the opportunity to plunder the territory and loot the people.

They are the famous Qinwang Army.

Everyone's blood is flowing, looking forward to going to the battlefield to kill the enemy and serve the country, and glorify the lintel!

The blood was so hot that it seemed to be burning!

The three thousand soldiers, each of whom was excited, raised their heads high, and waited for the master of the horse in front of the city tower to speak.

At this time, Song Ting was covered in silver armor, wearing a silver red tasseled helmet, a sword hanging from his waist, and a white cloak, hunting in the wind!

Song Ting stood in front of the city tower, looked at the gloomy sky, then swept his eyes downward, solemnized his face, and shouted loudly down: "Soldiers! Today, we stand here! Stand in the land of the girders! Standing in front of the gate of this county seat, this land watered by the ancestors with sweat and blood! Behind me is the home of millions of people! Millions of people have been repeatedly war-torn and have no peace! To the north, the Jin people came in; In the south, everywhere is busy raising troops, rebelling, grabbing mountains, and separating one side! Who will ask about the peace of the people? The well-being of all peoples is trampled on! ”

Behind him, the cloak rose in the wind and exhaled slightly, Song Ting secretly took a breath and continued to shout: "The Jin people have come in and surrounded the capital, and our national capital will be reduced to the land that the Jin people will rob and trample on at will!" No! You are the people of the Great Beam! You are the warriors who save the nations from fire and water! Your guns are sharpened, your knives are sharpened, and your task is to drive away the golden people and save my beams! ”

"Edict!" As soon as Song Ting stretched out his hand, Mr. Zhu immediately came over with an edict made of yellow silk and the appearance of a holy decree, and presented it to Song Ting, who opened the edict and read it aloud.

The system said: Since I ascended the throne, I have repeatedly purged villains, punished traitorous ministers, and stayed up day and night, thinking about ways to save the country...... So he agreed to cut off Taiyuan, Dingzhou, and Hejian to ease the situation...... However, the ambition of the Jin people and wolves has repeatedly invaded our state and county, and violated our country's land...... Now the situation is very dangerous, please ask the generals from all walks of life to quickly serve the king of Zhaoqin, repel the gold thieves, and support the community...... Don't be disappointed!

After reading the edict of King Qin, Song Ting pulled out his sword and raised his sword in his hand: "Soldiers! The time has come to serve the country and make contributions! For the girders! For the sake of all peoples! Raise your weapons! Sweep away all the old, stubborn, and daring forces that dare to be our enemies! Whether it is a bandit army, a rogue, a rebel army, an official army, anyone who dares to block Er and other kings from entering Beijing will be killed! In order to support my beam, those who stand in my way die! Out - Military ——! ”

At the sound of an order, the whole army set off.

The goal - to take over Yangzhou City!

The edict, of course, is fake.

After Song Ting threw the edict to Mr. Zhu, he instructed: "I will go to take over Yangzhou City before I can recruit troops, and I will hand it over to you first, and after I take over Yangzhou City, you will come to Yangzhou...... Well, and this edict, you should keep it first, and maybe it will be useful later. ”

Mr. Zhu nodded in agreement.

Stepping on the war horse, Song Ting kept up with the team.

The matter of the edict is indeed the strategy he thought of, and now his 3,000 army, how can he be famous, he is a relative of the emperor, it is impossible to be the same as those bandits, rogues, and rebels, right? Blatantly grabbing territory.

Although he didn't think about what kind of king he really was, to save Zhao Jinji and Zhao Yuanhuan, as well as those ministers and concubines, it was still necessary for the teacher to be famous.

The first goal is to take Yangzhou City as a base camp.

This can not be agreed by him, Li Mu disagrees!
