The Yanding people have all become serious court officers and soldiers, but for the people of Dengzhou Mansion, these officers and soldiers are good, and the transformation is exciting.

The officers and soldiers under the command of the Dengzhou battalion are different from other places, and they have always given the impression to the soldiers and people of Dengzhou Mansion that military discipline is strict, they never disturb the people and harm the people, and no one is defeated and escapes when they go into battle.

The twelve gold medal iron laws released last time gave everyone a guarantee.

Not all of the salt that has been turned into a regular are among the excellent candidates, and the rest of the salt that has not been turned into a regular one is to go to various places to replace the original salt ding, which can be regarded as having a goal to strive for.

If Yan Ding does a good job, he can become an officer and soldier of the imperial court, and he can enter the Dengzhou camp if he has made many military achievements, and if he performs well in the Dengzhou camp, he can be selected as a regular soldier and become the most beautiful person.

Now there are fewer things in the inspection department, and more of them are the work of some security places, so Wang Zheng handed over the right to be subordinate to Fan Ruohai, but it was a bit ironic to say it, this largest salt lord in Dengzhou Mansion was actually secretly in charge of the inspection department that investigated salt goods.

Fan Ruohai has not been in Dengzhou Mansion since the end of the New Year, running back and forth inside and out, he has gone around Shandong a few times in the past few months, Jining, Linqing and other places, and even Nanzhili has taken a trip.

When I heard such a news when I just came back this time, I was so excited that I knelt down and kept kowtowing to thank you.

After thanking him, Fan Ruohai said a few things to Wang Zheng.

The first thing is to buy a horse, and he and the steward of the Yongchang have always been in charge.

This thing is also a twist and turn, it is not difficult to buy a horse in Shandong, there is a big mule and horse market at the junction of Hebei and Shandong, not to mention a big business like Yongchang, plus Wang Zheng does not spare money in this regard, and it is generally money to Ma Cheng.

But now is a time of war and strife, horses are a scarce resource everywhere, and they are equally important to the army and the people, and if you have a good horse, others will look at you differently.

Besides, what Wang Zheng wants to buy cannot be ordinary mules and horses, but must be good horses with good foot strength, at least not as soon as he goes into battle, plus some required forage and experienced horse breeders, it will take effort to find them.

For this matter, Fan Ruohai even went to Datong Mansion, looking for someone to trust the relationship, but he didn't buy much, and now he has finally completed the return of the business.

If Fan Ruohai is allowed to say it, he doesn't want to do this kind of thing again in the future, don't talk about the trouble, the bumps back and forth are too offended.

Wang Zheng was quite surprised when he heard this, although he originally thought that it would not be easy to buy a horse, he did not expect it to be so difficult.

Only more than 200 Mongolian horses cost more than 4,000 taels of silver, and if you add all kinds of horse materials and the horse breeders brought back, the total is more than 5,000 taels.

Although this is a huge amount of money, Wang Zheng is also a local tyrant now, and this amount of silver is not even enough to earn back from selling illicit salt in a day, so it is worth it to form a cavalry.

Everything about cavalry has to start from scratch, and there are no talents in this area here, so everything depends on Wang Zheng's impression.

There is no doubt that the equipment of the cavalry must be the best, so on the day the horses arrived, Wang Zheng asked the master to shape the saddle and stirrups according to each horse.

The cavalry must wear armor, but there are too few people in Jiaodong who can ride horses, and it is not realistic to wear heavy armor as soon as they come up, so Wang Zheng only asked the craftsman to create a light chain mail suitable for horses to wear.

Nowadays, people are accustomed to using sabers on horses, so Wang Zheng asked someone to go to Beizhili to buy weapons for immediate use, and carefully built them with stainless steel as they were.

At present, Wang Zheng has thought of so much, and the rest depends on the number of recruits, and then slowly increase after practice.

The matter of the cavalry came to an end, and Wang Zheng was most concerned about the second thing Fan Ruohai said.

Zuo Liangyu sent someone to borrow money from him, and the so-called messenger had arrived in Penglai City and was resting in the post house.

Wang Zheng is in a high position, and he has been a little self-contained in the past few years, and it is difficult to be moved by ordinary things, but this time he stood up from the chair after hearing it.

After standing up, he groaned again.

This Zuo Liangyu is an "unserious" imperial court general, a leader of the soldiers, what is he trying to do when he suddenly sends someone to find him?

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, the left army occupied Xiangyang City, and the people in the city were stationed in the left army, "the state of obscenity is unspeakable", so that the people "do not hate the thief but hate the soldiers".

The reason why he is not serious is because he is different from other generals.

Other imperial army generals outside the Dengzhou battalion are especially good at seeing the wind and steering the rudder, bullying the soft and fearing the hard, not so much for the general, but as an official.

Tend to be inflammatory, observe words and looks, meet superiors, and deduct military salaries is a skill that everyone must know, but if they want to train and fight, it is a complete waste.

Speaking of which, even Liu Zeqing, a person who can be said to have made great achievements in war, is known as a fierce general, and the general level of military generals in various places can be imagined.

However, this Zuo Liangyu is completely different, he has the skills that other generals have, but the difference is that this person is arrogant, he is a well-known soldier in the world, and he doesn't care about anyone after holding heavy troops.

The court also had nothing to do with him, no matter how much trouble he made, he could only appease and reward him, and he was afraid that the left department would be angry and make a mess, and he would be out of control.

The envoy who came may be the leader of the army under Zuo Liangyu, but Wang Zheng couldn't figure it out, he had no contact with him, so what he was doing this time when he sent someone to find him.

Fan Ruohai actually felt that this matter was quite troublesome, who had never heard of Zuo Liangyu's name, and the soldiers and horses under his command were claimed to be 200,000, and even the thieves and the thieves were only 100,000 each.

In any case, this is still going to be seen.

......

The leader of the left army walked in Penglai City, in fact, he was quite arrogant in his heart, and said in his heart that our left side is the largest official army in the world.

There are 200,000 soldiers and horses, and even the imperial court must be calmed down, this small Dengzhou Mansion, even if it has the support of the celebrant supervisor of Nanzhili, it is far away from the emperor of Tiangao.

If you anger our general army of thieves, you will not say anything if you bring a large army to level your court.

On this day, a man in shabby iron armor came to the door of the marshal's mansion and looked at the two Dengzhou battalion soldiers guarding it, although he was surprised by their armor and momentum, but he only snorted disdainfully and disagreed.

When the chief of the door saw this man, he also looked up and down, and saw that he still had a knife hanging from his waist, and it seemed that he had come to ask for trouble.

At the moment, he didn't have a good face for him, and he stepped forward with the tiger gun, which meant nothing more clearly, warning him not to move forward, otherwise the tiger gun in Lao Tzu's hand was not a joke.

The leader of the left army was not afraid, but replied.

"I'm a subordinate of the general army of the Ping thief, and I came to find your deputy general soldier."

This is a deliberate reminder, our family is the chief soldier, you are just a local deputy chief soldier, in charge of the Dengzhou Mansion, what kind of hard play with Lao Tzu!
