Five days after Li Yu captured Anshi, several caravans rushed to Anshi from Datang under various banners, ranging from hundreds to thousands. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Except for the thirty maids in the first caravan led by Cui Xuan, the commercial chief of Yanwangfu, the rest of the caravan was all adult Ding Zhuang, and everyone was equipped with a knife. Looking at the past, it looks like a caravan, and it is clearly an army in disguise.

Even the thirty maids are definitely not weak and weak women, but strange women who have followed Li Yu since she was a child and have been carefully cultivated by Li Yu to be both civil and military.

Except for the people that Li Yu can trust, the entire city of Anshi basically knows that Cui Xuan's caravan is from Yanwangfu, but he doesn't know that other caravans are also from various industries under the name of Yanwangfu.

After all, other caravans came under cover, and before leaving, in order to avoid some well-intentioned people from discovering the clues, they all carried out corresponding camouflage, and disguised themselves as unknown caravans under the banner of going to Liaodong to buy furs and ginseng.

Avoid exposing the fact that you belong to the Yanwang Mansion, if someone with a heart finds out, it will be fine.

They are the caravan of six commercial houses, including Xinxiangdian, Ruishi Security Commercial Bank, Wanquan Dart Bureau, Longyin Qianzhuang, Jiaolong Haixing, and Xuanji Commercial Bank, which is mainly engaged in cotton weaving, white cloth and cement sales, which was jointly established by the contemporaries of the Chang'an magnate family who were good friends with Yan Wang.

In the eyes of outsiders, the caravans of the six trading houses carried a large group of guards and servants to Liaodong by land or sea to do business.

But in reality, none of their caravans were civilians or merchants, and even the servants were disguised.

After many caravans arrived in Anshi, they lifted the veil covering the commercial goods on the carriages, and where were the valuable commercial goods inside, it was clearly a piece of Cheng Liang's weapons, armor, bows, crossbows, arrows and grain.

Fortunately, Datang only prohibits the private to have strong crossbows, Mo knives, and armor, as for longbows and arrows, horizontal knives and other general weapons, the private people are allowed to own, so that the blacksmith shops in the states and counties of Datang can make weapons, especially Tangxi is the largest and best weapon production base in the world.

In this way, the six major trading houses can get enough weapons that are not prohibited, and the weapons and armor prohibited by the imperial court are made by the military workshop in the Youzhou Mountains, and some of them are personally escorted by Cui Xuan.

Six middle-aged men walked to the hall of the City Lord's Mansion in Anshi, and all of them bowed their hands to Li Yu, who was sitting on the top seat, to pay homage to him.

"The subordinates will live up to the Lord's mission, and send the ordnance and soldiers needed by the Lord to Anshi as scheduled, and ask the Lord to inspect them."

What is absolutely unexpected to outsiders is that the deputy directors of the six major trading houses under the name of Yanwang Mansion, who have disappeared for a few months, have unknowingly led the team to transport the escorts of the six major trading houses arranged by Li Yu before and the required ordnance, grain and grass to Anshi.

"You have worked hard all the way...... Li Yu said a few words of encouragement to the six deputy directors with satisfaction.

"Serve the Lord, I won't have to wait." The six of them replied respectfully, their faces not tired from the hard work along the way, but on the contrary, their faces were ruddy, and some of them were even very excited.

The deputy directors of the six major firms were ostensibly businessmen, but in fact their duty was to recruit and train the guards to which the firms belonged.

can be valued by Li Yu, and then become the deputy head of the six major commercial houses in Yanwangfu, naturally none of them are stupid.

Cui Xuan presented the ledger they handed over to Li Yu, which recorded the number of guards of the six major trading houses they had brought and the number of weapons, grain and grass.

Among the many industries under Li Yu's name, only the military workshops involving secrets and the cement, soap and other workshops with technological monopolies are specially dispatched to guard the central belly guards of Yanwangfu, and the rest of the commercial houses have their own guards.

Because the six major commercial banks have established branches in various states and counties in Datang, they need a lot of guards, and Li Yu has a special idea to use the guards of the commercial houses as a cover, so the number of guards required by the six major commercial banks is far more than four to six times the actual need.

However, because they are scattered in various states and counties in Datang, it is extremely difficult for outsiders to detect them, so naturally they will not find out that the total number of guards is too large.

In addition to Li Yu and a few henchmen such as Cui Xuan, even the palace governor Shi Li Yuanyuan, Xue Ne and other civil and military officials of the palace did not know that tens of thousands of guards had gathered in the commercial house owned by his Royal Highness.

In addition to bringing the well-trained Xuanjia army with him when he came to Liaodong, Li Yu had secretly ordered the branches of the six major trading houses scattered throughout the Tang Dynasty to stock up on grain and grass from the strongholds that he had established in the sparsely populated coastal areas closest to him as early as a year ago.

Three months ago, it was ordered that in addition to the land route in the Youzhou area, the guards belonging to the six major trading houses in the rest of the places should be assembled in batches at the coastal strongholds where they had long hoarded grain and grass, and then transported the guards and grain and grass to Liaodong through the large maritime merchant fleet of Jiaolong Haixing, and then landed, and finally assembled in Anshi.

At the same time, there was also the ordnance armor produced from the Youzhou Military Workshop, but due to the large amount of equipment and the hurry, in addition to the weapons, the quality of the armor was not as good as that of the 3,000 Xuanjia Army.

Five caravans came to the Xinxiang Hall in six days, and the number was two thousand five hundred; Longyin Qianzhuang and Xuanji Merchant House each had four batches, and the guards from the two firms were 4,000 people.

Ruishi Security Firm is named after the Warring States "Qin Army Ruishi", providing customers with mansions, especially caravans, escort and security business. Wanquan Dart Bureau provides escort services such as personal and property escorts for others.

It is precisely because of the peculiarity of the business of the two trading houses that the number of guards they sent is not the largest, but the most sophisticated, and the total number of people in the two companies is six thousand.

Jiaolong Haixing was formed by Li Yu as early as two years ago by sending Cui Xuan to Yangzhou, and after arriving in Youzhou, he relied on the ships built by his own shipyard and the ships purchased vigorously to make this maritime merchant fleet extremely huge. Now the entire merchant fleet numbered more than 40,000, and this time the number of guards available was 5,000.

In this way, Li Yu's available troops in Anshi will now reach 20,000 and 300 people, and more importantly, this is not the final number of Li Yu's six major commercial houses that can call on the number of guards.

Gu Cui Xuan said that if all the guards of the six major commercial houses were requisitioned and requisitioned up to 60,000, Li Yu was in a mood to hear it.

You must know that since the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Sixteen Kingdoms of China, the world has been in turmoil, and the folk martial arts have prevailed, and then experienced the great chaos in the world at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Many of the guards recruited by Li Yu in various parts of the world are still the children of the soldiers of the Zhichong Mansion in various places, and they have been thrown into the Yanwang Mansion because of evading military service, and the rest are also Jianghu rangers who know how to tear and kill brave and ruthless.

Such an element of guards, in arming them into an army, although for the time being, is not as good as the 3,000 Xuanjia army that has been trained for a long time and experienced in battle, but in Andong it will become an elite soldier in time.

On the second day, Li Yu summoned the generals of the Xuanjia Army at all levels and the leaders of the caravans, whose true identities were not known to outsiders, and announced that it was difficult for our army to deal with the large number of Goryeo rebels because of the small number of major generals. Therefore, all the caravans recruited to Liaodong to do business were trained as soldiers, and seven days later they conquered the city of black bones.

Li Yu's announcement stunned the generals of the Xuanjia Army, Wang Hu, Zhang Shi and others, who didn't have too much thought, were happy and danced, because there would be more soldiers under them, and Chen Xuan was sad and silent.

Xue Ne, Gao Chongli and others are active, that is, they don't think as much as Chen Xuan, nor are they as brainless as Wang Hu and Zhang Shi.

Hebei and Hedong are also known as the land of Yan Zhao, and it is often said that there are many strong men in Yan Zhao since ancient times.

On the world's male soldiers, there will be three Qin, Yan and Zhao land, followed by the Central Plains, Qilu, and two Huai soldiers.

Therefore, Li Yu's guards recruited a large number of strong men from Sanqin and Yanzhao, and the three thousand Xuanjia troops became Yanzhao people.

Li Yu selected those who were good at riding and archery from the caravan guards from Hebei and Hedong and were from the soldiers of the two places to supplement the damaged Xuanjia army to form a 6,000-strong elite cavalry.

Because most of the members of this cavalry came from Yan Zhao, Li Yu officially named this cavalry Yanyun Iron Cavalry, which was no longer called according to the color of the previous clothing, but had an official number.

The entire cavalry was dressed in black, black armor and black flags, standing in an array on the school ground, giving people an extremely strong sense of oppression.

The rest of the men and horses were organized into five groups, each with a mixed formation of 3,000 foot cavalry, with the ancient divine beast as the number. They were the Qinglong White Tiger Vermilion Bird Xuanwu Qilin Five Divine Beast Guards, and finally grew into the first five guards of the world-famous Tang Beiya Ten Divine Beast Guards.

Originally, Li Yu also wanted to form another cavalry to form two fine tax cavalry, but the guards of the commercial houses in the Guanzhong area had not yet arrived, and the number of people was not enough, so he could only postpone it.

Riding a handsome sweat horse with a whole body as black as ink, he stood on the platform of the school field, looking at the more than 20,000 troops wearing the battle armor and banner of Yanwangfu, and at a glance, it was like a black cloud pressing down on the city, and the city was pre-destroyed.

Li Yu, who was dressed in battle armor, could no longer hide his excited look, after more than ten years of planning, he finally saw the dawn, this is his own army, I will lead them to conquer foreign lands that my ancestors have never fought against, and lead the descendants of China out of the East Asian continent and into the world.

Li Yu took a deep breath, pressed down on the undulating heart, looked at the 20,000 troops under the black pressure of the general, and announced proudly: "Most of you were just a caravan guard before, and the escort caravan came to the bitter cold Liaodong and was recruited as a soldier by this king. ”

Looking at the many puzzled eyes in the audience, the corners of Li Yu's mouth hooked up a faint smile and continued: "Liaodong has been the land of China since Qin Kai, the general of Yan State during the Warring States Period, conquered Donghu, and then opened up the territory through the Han Dynasty. Goryeo took advantage of the chaos of the five counties of our Han family, slaughtered our Han people, and occupied my land. Since the former Sui conquest of Goryeo, the founding of the Tang Dynasty has inherited the unfinished ambition of our ancestors, and after decades of work, several Goryeo barbarians, and finally obtained countless unfinished business of our ancestors two years ago to recover the land of the five counties of our Han family. ”

"After my Tang Dynasty recovered the foundation of my ancestors, I still allowed the Goryeo barbarians to live in the land of my Han family with a heart of benevolence. But Gao Liman has no gratitude, and regards my Datang's benevolence as weak and bullied. In the past two years, he has repeatedly killed our Han officials and gathered the remnants of Goryeo to rebel. ”

"This king can't bear to let my Han family's land be chaotic by the Goryeo barbarians again, and he leads the troops to quell the rebellion regardless of himself, but the soldiers are few and the generals are outnumbered, and it is difficult to deal with the large number of Goryeo barbarians, so he must not use conscription and other soldiers to suppress the Goryeo rebels."

"When Nian Zaier and others are about to contribute to the country, when the rebels of Andong Goryeo are pacified, the families of those who die in the war can get 800 acres of land and 1,000 acres of mountains in Andong, and give them a pension of 500 yuan, and their sons can study for free in government schools. For those with disabilities, they can get 500 acres of land and 800 acres of mountains in Andong, and they will be given a monthly pension, and their sons can study for free in government schools. All the rest of the participants can get at least 200 mu of land and 200 mu of mountains in Liaodong according to their military merits, and those with the highest military merits can get 5,000 mu of land and 10,000 mu of mountains. ”

"Another ordinary soldier has three hundred dollars a month, and the number of officers has increased by ...... gradually"

Before Li Yu could finish speaking, the 20,000 troops on the school field were already excited, cheering loudly, waving the flags and weapons in their hands.

At this moment, Wang Hu stood up and shouted at the cheering soldiers: "For the sake of the land, for the sake of the girls, let's go to pacify the Goryeo barbarians ......"

"For the sake of the land, for the sake of the girls, pacify the Goryeo barbarian ......" Hearing Wang Hu's shout, the 20,000 troops on the school field became even more excited.

Li Yu looked at Wang Hu, who was so excited that he didn't know what to do, and after brewing for a long time, he told the soldiers a big truth, and then dragged out the army to reward and so on, and finally drove the warm atmosphere of the army. As a result, Wang Hu's rogue remark completely reversed the nature of his Li Yu leading troops to quell the rebellion.

Although I Li Yu didn't have a good heart towards the Koreans in my heart, how could you, Wang Hu, say it openly? It's okay to say it, how can you say it to the whole army? It is I who Datang changed customs and beautified education in the wilderness! It is my Chinese civilization that has educated the Goryeo barbarians!

A hundred years later, when the Tang Dynasty historian was repairing the history, he made a note: the emperor wanted to open up the land and obtain Meiji, so he led the army to quell the rebellion of the remnants of Goryeo.
