"Why are they all red guys?"

"Something big is going on in the south?"

"Probably going to Dali, right? When you reach the Yangtze River, you will soon be able to enter the river by turning to the waterway. ”

"Didn't Dali win?"

"Who knows if it's true or not?"

Since the opening of the Kei-Si Railway, the platforms of Tokyo Station have always been bustling.

As a businessman who has traveled back and forth between Beijing and Sizhou more than ten times, Peng Yi has become accustomed to the noisy and noisy station.

But today's chaos is also something he has never seen before.

As soon as he checked the ticket and walked into the platform, he found that the passengers on the platform were gathering in groups and talking loudly.

Looking in the other direction of the platform, separated by a wooden fence, is the reason for the discussion and the source of confusion.

The same concrete paved floor, tall scaffolding also hides the platform.

But under the scaffolding, on the platform, there was not a merchant or traveler with a large bag or a small bag, but a sergeant and general wearing a military robe and an iron helmet on his head.

A carriage stopped at the platform, and the group of soldiers was lining up and rushing in through the door.

The soldiers carried swords on their waists, bags on their backs, and some of them could see a few pairs of freshly tied straw sandals on their bags. Large and small flags, the flags were tightly tied, war drums were placed next to them, bows, knives, and armor were also tied, and they were sent into the carriage together.

Peng Yi could even see that on the platform in that place, under the asphalt-coated tarpaulin, the objects that were wrapped so that they could not see their appearance were carefully moved in. But as long as it's a Tokyoite, who can't recognize it?

"That's artillery, right?"

"It's a tiger squat cannon!"

"So many, it must be on the Fourth Army."

An ordinary commander of the Beijing Infantry Army, if he has changed his outfit, then he can have five Tiger Squat Cannons. But if it is the Fourth Army, it is the Twelve Gates. Any command, whether a horse army or an infantry army, will be equipped with an entire artillery force, including the horses that control the mules and horses.

Seeing the tiger squat cannons on the platform, neatly lined with seventy or eight rows and ninety columns, with a little knowledge, they all knew that this must be the dispatch of the Fourth Army.

"It's the Divine Guard."

Peng Yi's own family is in the military camp, and the eldest brother is still paid in the army, although he is just an ordinary Tiger Wing Army, but he doesn't need to take a second look to distinguish what kind of roots an army is. What's more, he had already learned from other sources that this time it was the four commanders of the Divine Guard Army who were dispatched - from the left and right compartments.

"This brother, I didn't see the command flag, how can you see it."

Peng Yi turned his head, and a few big faces in front of his eyelids made him can't help but lean back.

In these years, the people under the roots of the imperial city like to talk about military politics the most, and if they have some dry goods in hand, they can attract a group of people as soon as they open their mouths. The reason why there are so many teahouses and restaurants in Beijing is precisely because the people of Beijing like to put up dragon gate arrays too much.

Peng Yi's casual remark to the Divine Guard Army immediately made the people around him think that he was a knowledgeable person.

Facing several pairs of sparkling eyes, Peng Yi maintained the habit of the people of the capital, and never sold it when he could show off: "I heard about it at the banquet of the Champion Jockey Club yesterday. ”

Immediately, the eyes of the people around him were different.

The horse owners in the champion horse club, which one does not have a net worth of tens or millions, and the poorer county kings can't afford to raise a champion horse, until now, there are only twenty or thirty horse owners, and everyone is hand-eyed. The person in front of him is definitely not qualified to be a horse owner, but he can participate in the banquet of the champion horse club, and he must have some identity or relationship.

It's just that they are all well-informed Tokyoites, and they have seen a lot of liars who pull tiger skins to make big banners, Peng Yi opened his mouth to be the champion Jockey Club, and half of his eyes changed in the direction of seeing the liar.

"Since this official can go to the banquet on West Cross Street, he must know the way," the speaker ignored the not-so-gorgeous cloth on Peng Yi's body, and changed his title: "What is the Privy Council doing?" What do you do to make people panic? ”

Another interjected: "Not only the Privy Council, but also the Cabinet of Ministers." ”

"Naturally, there is a political hall. Without Han Xianggong nodding, the Privy Council dared to transfer the people of the Beijing camp? ”

"With the two mansions, the Queen Mother must be presented. The Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager ordered to transfer troops to the south, but there has been a change in the south? ”

Several people were gossiping, waiting for Peng Yi's answer.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Mrs. South is peaceful, there is no chaos at all, so don't think nonsense. The younger brother also happened to hear it, and there was nothing to hide from people, and the capital would be able to get the news in a few days. Peng Yi said slowly, "The Queen Mother and a few ministers plan to take advantage of the free time when the grain has been cleared and the new rice has not been harvested, to try how many troops this railway can transport." If you want to fight the Liao people in the future, you will definitely go on the railway in the country, and the hundreds of thousands of troops, how to go, it is not that you can immediately pull your legs on the road. People eat horses and chew, and there must be a charter. So, ah......"

"So what?!"

Therefore, it is necessary to go through more experience first, so as not to get into a hurry when things come to an end. It is said that Peng Yi's eyes flickered, "this time at least 20 commanders, 10,000 people went south, and after arriving in Sizhou, they came back by car." Within ten days, you have to go back and forth. ”

……………………

"Fortunately, before, otherwise I don't know how I would be impeached by the officials."

Han Gang sighed with a smile. The folk rumors, he has learned three or five points from Feng Congyi's mouth.

Some people are already saying that there are traitors in the DPRK and want to reduce the defenders of the Beijing division so as to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble.

The rumors are so nonsense, and Han Gang is also helpless.

"Fortunately, this time I didn't seriously mobilize tens of thousands of people out of Beijing. Maybe the difference between the numbers is only two or three times, but thousands and thousands, it feels different after all. ”

Although Hangang did take a decent stress test, try to see what step can be achieved with the current operation level of the Jingsi Railway - railway connection only means that it has hardware, and the daily operation is software, and the lack of sufficient operational capacity will cause a huge waste of transportation capacity - capacity, and profits.

However, it was still impossible for him to carry out such a large-scale military transfer in a hurry, and half of the Shenji Battalion was outside, just for the sake of the stability of the people in the imperial city, it was impossible for him to divide a large part of the main force guarding the imperial city to the south.

There are only five commanders left in the Shenji Battalion to stay in the palace, of course, they can't move, and at most they can only use the Fourth Army.

In the plan for the whole army, the four armies are all aimed at becoming a strong army that can really go to the battlefield. The Tianwu Army was on duty in the imperial city day and night. Supporting the Japanese army, if the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother have action, they must protect their wings. The two armies of Longwei and Shenwei were slightly easier to mobilize, so they took the lead in rearmament. Among them, the Dragon Guard Army is the Horse Army, and the Divine Guard Army is the Infantry Army, so in the end, the Divine Guard Army was selected to go south.

"But chaos is inevitable. Brother, the place where you stand is difficult to clear yourself, which inevitably arouses suspicion. ”

Han Gang said: "The law of changing the war is a good law of the ancestors, if the Beijing camp is unbearable, how to subdue the place?" During the time of Taizu Taizong, the forbidden army was frequently mobilized, and no one dared to make trouble. ”

Feng Congyi said: "But the official family and the queen mother, after all, can't compare to Taizu and Taizong." ”

"So it's just a matter of getting people used to it first, and then it's the main show."

"Habit? Chinese, or Liao? Feng Congyi said with a smile.

Han Gang said: "Naturally, there are all. ”

This time, the transfer of troops to the south was a joint agreement between the two governments to start preparations for a big war with the Liao State, and more importantly, it was also to warn the northern neighbors that no matter how fast their horses were, the Great Song Railway would never be a star and a half slower than them.

If you want to intimidate the enemy, showing off your muscles is an essential link.

There are changes in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are within reach. There are police in Hebei, and they arrived in an instant.

Although the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State have completely severed official exchanges since Yelu Yixin usurped the throne, the border field has not changed, and the exchanges are still frequent.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the exercise can successfully complete the scheduled tasks.

"Are you sure?"

"With Shen Cunzhong as the mainstay, with his talents, he can cope with it."

Shen Kuo will preside over this exercise as a new member of the Privy Council, and the military role of the railway must be demonstrated through this marching exercise.

At the beginning of September, this year's program will be completed ahead of schedule. When the time comes, all the armies will be sent out in unison, as fast as possible

"One out and one in, it won't take half a month, money and food are a trivial matter, but the reward should be ready."

"A full 800,000 yuan." Han Gang said: "It's annoying to sign on the bond. ”

The Imperial Court had prepared a new mint of 800,000 yuan—a month's hard work by the Mint, which was then lent by the Government Hall from the Empress Dowager with treasury bonds—as a reward for the success of the exercise.

Han Gang took out a golden coin from his sleeve and threw it to Feng Congyi, "This time, not only copper and iron money, but even money is ready." ”

Feng Congyi caught it, turned it over, and said with a smile, "It's a panda gold coin." ”

The gold ten big money has the most exquisite manufacturing process, and also uses the best refining techniques, heavy presses, and golden dazzling.

The pattern on the gold coin was set by Han Gang, round, chubby, looking like a bear, but not a bear, it is the legendary tapir, commonly known as the iron beast.

That is, the giant panda of later generations, which is now also called panda.

It looks like a bear and has a cat-like temperament. Rolling in the yard and lazily basking in the sun, if you really want to talk about temperament, it is indeed like a cat.

Because of Han Gang, the name of the panda spread much faster than the tapir and the iron-eating beast.

A little bit of self-amusement, so he gave up Ruyi, lotus and other ordinary patterns,

A golden panda lies on the golden bamboo forest, the bamboo leaves are clearly recognizable, and the eye circles are also clearly distinguishable, which is the highest level of forging technology today.

Feng Congyi flicked the gold coin lightly with his fingers, "A pair of meat-eating teeth, but only eating bamboo." No wonder the Daxiangguo Temple said that this panda was born with Buddha nature. ”

"Pandas occasionally eat some meat, chickens, sheep."

Feng Congyi returned the gold coin to Han Gang, and Ha Luha smiled: "The more you talk about it, the more you look like those thieves." ”

"Okay, stop laughing." Han Gang put down the panda gold coin in his hand, and said, "Brother Yi, this time, let you go to Beijing under the summer heat, and I want you to help with something serious." ”
