Chapter Twenty-Seven: The White Horse General Fang De

With the return of the last group of Yulin Army, it means that this plan to attack the Han Clan's Yingyang Cang has come to a perfect end.

For Qiang Yuan, who is under the pseudonym of [Yongsha] and is active in Chenggao as the leader of Yongqiu, Lin Yuyan also knows.

In order to repay the kindness of [Doctor Zhen's Scholar], he chose to live in Chenggao as the leader of Yongqiu, and Lin Yuyan can also understand.

Han Kui sent Feng Qi to count the grain at the bottom of the cliff and found that there were about 6,000 stones, which made Han Kui ready to immediately call on young people from all over the country to build a granary, but was stopped by Lin Yuyan: "Han Zi, the granary of Shangshu Mansion under construction can produce 500,000 stone of grain!" ”

When Han Kui heard this, he really thought that Gongzi Yan was deceiving him, the granary that holds 500,000 stones of grain and stone, what kind of specifications is that?

I am afraid that it will occupy dozens of acres of land, several feet high and low, and build such a huge amount of grain and grass, I am afraid that it will take thousands of people to build it for several years.

Han Kui, who has never seen cement, can hardly imagine how Gongzi Yan can end up boasting about such a haikou!

If it weren't for Han Kui's decision to build the place of Shangshu Mansion, now it would be an idler Mo Jin, and Rao is Han Kui was also rejected by Lin Yuyan's "give Han Zi a surprise" and wanted to go to investigate.

Helplessly, Han Kui organized the young and strong and material resources to go to Zhongyang Mountain to transport grain to Jianyang.

Anyway, the completion date of Shangshu Mansion promised by Gongzi Yan is after the end of the year, and the calculation of the days is more than ten days.

Lin Yuyan had nothing to do, and he also planned to take a look at the recruitment of the Yulin Army.

The recruitment of the Yulin Army was not a levy apportionment, but a way to choose voluntary surrender, but it was indeed the "system of joining the army and granting fields" that played a great role.

The old clans have all migrated...... The new household system was forcibly implemented, so today's Shanglin Yuan is a model of "monogamy and many children".

The household registration divides the fields according to the head, and each person can spread ten acres of land, but Han Kui's most ideal mode of governing the fields is to govern a hundred fields with one husband and five people.

However, according to the division of acres according to the capita, a family of five can only be allocated 50 acres of land, and 50 acres is really not enough for cultivation in two years and three crops.

However, if there is one person in the family who can join the Yulin Army, even if he is a soldier of the cantonment, he can get 30 to 50 acres of land, and if he can be organized into a regular army, he can get 100 acres of land.

There is as much grain as there is in the land!

Therefore, for the sake of this 100 acres of land, many people came to join the Wuyang Army.

And Lin Yuyan also did not refuse.

After being reminded by Xiang Ying, Ge Bao and others, Lin Yuyan also discovered a particularly important thing.

It is not reasonable to select a soldier before joining the army, and after the training, it can be found that the one who walks fast in the selection, has a lot of strength in lifting stones, and has a bit of martial arts foundation in the competition is not a good soldier when he is a soldier.

On the contrary, the young men who were not outstanding in the selection had experienced a short period of military drills, and their performance was no worse than that of some regular sergeants, but much better.

Why is that? It is the food and training in the army that can greatly improve a person's physical fitness, as for the skills of fighting, it is even more useless, and the kind of fancy things are more practical than the fighting skills that the army requires non-commissioned soldiers, like chicken ribs.

Therefore, the test of joining the army is now also the main examination of simple and practical items such as sprinting and weightlifting, but it is not a test to be high, but a standard is set, as long as this standard is reached, you can be selected into the Yulin Army, as for whether you can enter the Yulin Army in the regular army establishment, after three months of new training and then select.

By the end of the year, the Yulin Army had recruited thousands of soldiers, including those from Jianyang, some from Shuyang, and the most of them were the countrymen or displaced people who had heard about the land granting system of Shanglinyuan.

It's just half a month, after the old clan moved away a large number of people, the population of Shanglinyuan has risen rapidly, that is, in yesterday's registration, it has broken 20,000, most of which are young people who came to join the army, and their relatives, such as parents, wives and children, and people of the same clan are on the way to Shanglinyuan after hearing the news.

The recruitment of the Yulin Army, since Xiang Ying and Ge Bao have returned, Lin Yuyan began to hand over the two of them, just as Lin Yuyan wanted to return to the Lin clan's land, Jing Yi approached in a hurry, and said to Lin Yuyan: "Your Highness, General Fang De has led his troops to the Lin clan's land, and General Fang De has rushed to the school martial arts field to meet His Highness!" ”

Hearing that Fang De had rushed to the school martial arts field, Lin Yuyan brought Jing Yi, Ji Wu, Chun Yuqi, Xiang Ying, Ge Bao and others out of the school martial arts field to welcome this Fang De.

When Xiang Ying heard that the coming general was Fang De, he sighed: "I knew that His Royal Highness was going to recruit a good general, but I didn't know that it would be General Fang De!" ”

Hearing Xiang Ying's emotion, Lin Yuyan also said as he walked: "I forgot that General Xiang Ying was also from the Nanyang Border Army. ”

"Hmm......" Xiang Ying nodded, and then said to Lin Yuyan: "Your Highness, this General Fang De is a rare good general, skilled in arching and horses, good at using long-handled knives, and a training general of the Nanyang Army." ”

"How can I say it, old man...... Cough...... The old general hasn't lied to me yet. Lin Yuyan said.

Xiang Ying obviously has a lot of respect for this General Fang De, and told Lin Yuyan about Fang De's heroic deeds: "Your Highness, this General Fang can break the pot in a hundred steps, and the army often calls him [White Horse General], Your Highness knows why?" ”

"The general on a white horse?!" Lin Yuyan replied casually.

Hearing Lin Yuyan's answer, Xiang Ying also smiled, and then said: "Your Highness only knows one and doesn't know the other, General Fang De does ride a white horse, but his mount also has an old anecdote. ”

"Once, General Fang De went out with the army, broke a tribe of the Longdirong people, and obtained hundreds of horses, and the generals of the same country all competed for fat and healthy horses, only General Fang De chose a thin and ugly young white horse, and the other generals laughed at him. Later, when General Fang De went out with the army to fight against the Rongdi tribe, this young white horse was already grown up, with fast feet and fast movements, and other horses could not catch up with his speed. Only then did everyone admire General Fang De's discerning eyesight, so they called General Fang [White Horse General]. ”

"Oh? And such a thing?! Lin Yuyan was also attracted by what Xiang Ying said.

In an instant, he heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the horizon not far away, Lin Yuyan looked over, and sure enough, more than a dozen horseback figures rushed over, and the first one was indeed a white horse under his crotch.

It seems that this person is the white horse general Fang De!

After a while, the dozen or so people were from far and near, and seeing that there were already people waiting outside the school martial arts field, the leading white horse general opened his mouth and shouted: "A certain is Fang De, dare to ask who you are waiting for?" And where is His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan! ”

Xiang Ying stepped forward and replied loudly: "General Fang De, Xiang Ying, the captain of the Yulin Army in Shanglin Yuan, His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan is by someone's side!" ”

Hearing this, Nafang De grabbed the horse rope, jumped off the horse and landed firmly on the ground, the knights behind him were all like this, and the group stopped the horses and walked in front of Lin Yuyan.

Lin Yuyan looked at Fang De carefully, this Fang De was dressed in sackcloth and civilian clothes, but the feeling between his eyebrows was similar to that of Ju Mao, it should be murderous, it seems that this white horse general is indeed a battle-hardened general!

Fang De hugged his fist and saluted Lin Yuyan and said: "A certain Fang De, meet Gongzi Yan, who was ordered by the old general Ju for His Royal Highness to drive for three years!" ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan's face was also stagnant, Fang De's words were neither humble nor arrogant, but the meaning was very obvious.

Anyway, Lin Yuyan heard it, "I just agreed to the old general Ju to come for His Highness to drive for three years, and after three years, His Highness will not be asked about his whereabouts." ”

Even more contemptuous Lin Yuyan can also hear it, Fang De came to Lin Yuan, it was completely the favor of the old man Ju, as for the identity of Gongzi Yan, it was nothing in front of Fang De.

Originally, Lin Yuyan was also indignant in her heart, but after thinking about it, three years later, I am afraid that if I let you go, you will be reluctant to leave!

Lin Yuyan also pretended not to hear other meanings, and said to Fang De with a smile: "I have long heard of the name of the general [White Horse General], and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary!" ”

Fang De shook his head and replied calmly: "Your Highness has praised ......"

Seeing this Fang De's businesslike face, although Lin Yuyan pretended to have a smile on his face, he was already lacking in his heart, so he said to Xiang Ying: "First finish the Shangshu Mansion, and then choose a place to build a garrison barracks." ”

"Whoa." Xiang Ying responded.

Lin Yuyan looked at Fang De and said: "General Fang, the garrison barracks have not been completed for the time being, and the current school martial arts field is only some residential buildings, so it is better for General Fang to settle down in the Lin clan." ”

Hearing this, he bluntly refused: "No, for the sake of the generals and the soldiers, how can they be happy alone!" ”

I have to say that Lin Yuyan said that because of Fang De's words, all his dissatisfaction with him disappeared, looking at Fang De's solemn face, there was no meaning of vanity and wrongdoing, Lin Yuyan also nodded and said: "General Fang is high-minded, General Wen is very good at training soldiers, and the Yulin Army is a newly recruited soldier, so I will entrust General Yulin Military Training Captain as a captain in charge of training the new army of Yulin Army." ”

Although Fang De didn't know what kind of military position the "training military captain" was, it was estimated that it was the flower fist embroidered legs in the "Shanglin Garden", and Fang De didn't care much about it, but the supervisor heard the training of the new army clearly, and he responded immediately.

Immediately, Lin Yuyan asked Xiang Ying to arrange for Fang De and his party to get off the bed.

Originally, Lin Yuyan also planned to set up wine for Fang De, but it was also because Lin Yuyan noticed Fang De's face of "don't get close to the living" and gave up.

After sending Fang De and his party away, Ji Wu, who had already had some opinions behind Lin Yuyan, said indignantly: "Sorry, I see that this old guy is a bit old and sells old!" ”

Jing Yi on the side also did not stop Ji Wu's complaints, because Fang De's contempt for His Royal Highness was also noticed by Jing Yi.

Lin Yuyan didn't think so, I have to say that Lin Yuyan thinks that although Ju Yan has retreated from the front line of the border army, his eyes are still the same as they were back then, if he Lin Yuyan can be safe and sound under the joint efforts of the old clan, what is indispensable is the support of this old general!

So, this Fang De has such a temperament...... Unruly, but he can enter Ju Mao's vision, and he must have some ability, no need to be suspicious, no doubt about employing people, so Lin Yuyan handed over the training of soldiers to this Fang De.

After all, Lin Yuyan has never been in contact with the battle of this side army, although he knows some relatively novel training methods, but Lin Yuyan knows that it may not be suitable for border army battles, so it is also a professional matter to be handed over to professional people to take care of.

is to hope that Fang De is really a general, according to Lin Yuyan's guess, nine times out of ten it is......

Sure enough, after Fang De entered the school martial arts field, he didn't even drink a sip of tea, but took the roster of joining the army.

Sweeping the roster at a glance, Fang De frowned and said, "The Yulin Army is an establishment of three thousand people, why is it recruiting more than four thousand people now?!" Isn't it a violation of etiquette! ”

Hearing this, Xiang Ying said: "This is the new system of Shanglin Yuan, the Yulin Army is set to be 3,000 regular troops, 7,000 tunken army, the tunken army is mainly tuntian, and training can be organized during the slack time, and the captain can be regarded as a reserve source." ”

"Oh...... That's a way to go! Fang De is not a pedantic person after all, he thought about it and said.

Fang De turned to the back again, and saw the [Nine-Rank Military Merit Knighthood System] formulated by Lin Yuyan and Han Kui, just glanced at it a few times, and then made up his mind: "Unrealistic......"

After all, now the border army can keep the normal military food is enough, it seems that the smallest soldier in the nine-grade military merit knighthood system is awarded a hundred acres of land, with an annual salary of 20 stones, and it is already very remarkable that the soldiers of the border army can eat a full stomach!

As for the elite and tiger ben in the back, it is even more outrageous, a soldier can actually get 300 acres of land and an annual salary of 100 stones, even Fang De himself has never taken such a generous fortune from the Nanyang army.

The "Wudang", "School Captain", and "Zhonglang General" in the back, Fang De didn't look at it, and closed it directly.

By now, Fang De has already decided that Shanglin Yuan is just a farce of Gongzi Yan entertaining himself, just according to the nine-grade military merit knighthood system, millions of stone grains are needed every year to feed the so-called Yulin Army, which is probably difficult to achieve by emptying the Great Qin treasury of Wancheng.

If Fang De didn't want to leave Nanyang County for a moment for the sake of the old general's kindness, but he was going to stay here for three years, Fang De also comforted himself that he would be safe when he came, thinking that at least he could train a usable army, which could be regarded as doing his part for Daqin.

After thinking about it, Fang De was also resolute, and directly instructed the few people who followed him: "Cheng He, you follow General Xiang Ying to use the treasury." ”

"Whoa!" Cheng He should be the way.

Xiang Ying said with an embarrassed face: "Fang Sima, this Lin army is newly built, and there are only some weapons and leather armor in the treasury that the border army has exchanged, and even the food is sent over by the Lin clan every month. ”

Hearing this, Fang De thought about it and said: "Then please ask Captain Xiang Ying to report to Wancheng, and ask for a batch of armaments, and a list will be set for you later!" ”

"This ......" Xiang Ying wanted to speak and stopped, but he still replied stubbornly: "Captain, the Yulin Army is not connected to the Wancheng Military Mansion, but is directly reported to His Majesty by the Shangshu Mansion." ”

"Shangshu Mansion?" Fang De frowned and asked rhetorically, "Is it a new gadget from Shanglin Garden?!" ”

Xiang Ying paused for the three words "new thing" and replied: "Exactly! Shangshu Mansion is in charge of all affairs of Shanglin Yuan, and Shangshu Ling is named Han Kui. ”

Hearing this, Fang De was silent for a long time.

Xiang Ying relieved the embarrassing atmosphere in the house, and also said: "Captain Fang, rest assured, the Miyang Iron Mine has been placed under the rule of Shanglin Yuan, and a foundry is being built in Tanghe at the beginning of the month, and after completion, it will be able to meet the armament needs of the Yulin Army." ”

That Fang De's home will become what is asked: "Foundry? The blacksmith shop that meets the needs of the 3,000 Yulin Army's armament exchange needs, does it take you to complete the new construction?! I think that in the past year and a half, this Yulin Army will train the army with bare hands! ”

When Xiang Ying heard this, he replied with little confidence: "Your Highness has already said that it must be completed in the middle of the first month, that is, the first batch of armaments can be built." ”

Cheng He looked at his own lord Fang De and said to everyone: "Honest and unscrupulous!" ”

Fang De didn't say anything, but directly instructed Cheng He: "Cheng He, give you three days to collect 1,000 wooden guns, 1,000 Changge, 500 broadswords, 500 bows, and 3,000 arrows, maybe you can do it?!" ”

Although what Fang De said was an inquiry, he did not have the slightest intention of asking, and he did not mean to refuse at all.

"Cheng He is commanded!" Cheng He took on this task.

In fact, Fang De did not mean to be embarrassed, most of the armament lists required could be found in the treasury, and if there was a shortage, Fang De believed that it should be more than enough to raise according to Cheng He's talents.

Immediately, Fang De summoned his son Fang Hui, and the general Dong Ying decided to have "horsemanship", "archery", "knife skills" and "wrestling" to select the regular soldiers.

As for Xiang Ying, Ge Bao and other former Yulin Army generals, who were only arranged to "contact Shangshu Mansion", Ge Bao was still a little indignant, but Xiang Ying stopped laughing.

The soldiers of the border army have always believed that the local soldiers are soft-footed shrimp with fists and embroidered legs, and Xiang Ying also has a deep understanding of this.

Lin Yuyan knew that Fang De wanted to make the Yulin Army practice the battle formation, but he was also surprised by this head, and he also wanted to see the details of the so-called battle formation, so he didn't interfere in the training of the Yulin Army anymore.
