When the guard opened his eyes. Raw saw the mosquito net. What kind of place is this, but he feels a terrible headache, as if someone is holding a hammer and a steel drill and knocking it in. I finally sat upright, but now the bed is clean, the quilt and pillows are all new, and there is a hint of fragrance. A woman's bed? Thinking about it like this, I was shocked in my heart, and I vaguely remembered that I drank high last night. It seems that they told Zhang San that they were going to sleep in the camp? This is obviously not a barracks!

Peel off the mosquito net and take a look at it, and identify it for a long time. Only now in their own home. Got out of bed with his head about to explode, put on his shoes and walked to the table, he was very thirsty and wanted to drink some water, and as soon as he lifted the pot, he heard the voice of the lady: "Let me come." September came in with hot water, and his face seemed to be covered with frost on a hot day, and after pouring tea for her husband, she put the basin of hot water on the table and did not speak.

After drinking tea, Xu Wei asked while washing his face, "How did I come back?" What about Zhang Sanyang and them? ”

Zhang Jiujiu still had a straight face, and said lukewarmly: "Lord Zhijun didn't return all night, and some people were so anxious and helpless that they searched all over the city with lanterns." The shopkeeper said that you had gone in the direction of the outside of the city, and you went all the way to the camp, saying that you had not seen anyone. Your own soldiers also panicked, and hundreds of people came looking for the four of you, and later found them in the grass by the roadside. At that time, the magistrate was still holding a stick in his hand. ”

As soon as she said this, Xu Wei suddenly burst out laughing and remembered! Seeing that he was still embarrassed, September snorted and turned his face away. Xu Wei stepped forward and twisted her shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, I should tell the lady a story as an apology." After that, I will tell as much as I can remember the allusion of "fishing for the moon and stabbing the moon".

At the beginning of September, he was still pretending to be indifferent, and when he heard that Yang Yan plunged into the ditch and her husband stabbed the moon with a stick, he finally couldn't help laughing. You said that these people are all big people, and they are all military and political chiefs in a place, why are they still stunned to do such a ridiculous thing? How can this man sometimes act like a child?

sighed, sorted out her husband's clothes from bottom to bottom, and persuaded softly: "It is reasonable to entertain your subordinates and drink more." But the officials are not as angry with their wives as before, not because you drink.

Official, think about it, this ground is not yet peaceful, and you are a local governor, so how can you get it if something goes wrong on the side of the road? "Speaking of which, I paused, as if I was angry again." Your subordinates really don't know anything about it, so they didn't say anything about sending it back. ”

Xu Wei rubbed his temples and smiled: "They all pointed at Zhang Sanyang and Ma Er, but those three were so drunk that they remembered their funny appearance yesterday, and they couldn't help laughing for a while." The husband and wife had breakfast in the bedroom, and Xu Wei was in a hurry to go to the camp to have a look, so he left in a hurry. As a result, when I went to the camp, I almost didn't vomit my breakfast. Yang Yan and Ma Tai stripped off their sperm and lay naked on the bunk, vomiting all over the bed. Xu Wei hurriedly got the two of them up, and called the soldiers to clean up, but Yang Yan didn't seem to have woken up yet, and asked, did you poke the moon down?

At the end of April, the promotion order of the Xuanfu Yamen in Shaanxi came down. Once upon a time, the Tiger Army was stationed in Tokyo. Xu Wei and other military ministers were responsible for the promotion of the Privy Council. At that time, because of the special situation of Hujie. It is not subordinate to any of the palace marshals, horse marshals, and foot marshals. Now stationed in Shaanxi, it is naturally under Li Gang's control.

Xu Wei went to Hedong to solicit information, achieved remarkable results, and made meritorious contributions to recovering the lost territory, and was immediately promoted to "Xuanzheng Dafu Chengzhou Observation Envoy" and still served as the commander of the Quanzhi Dingcheng Army, the Hujie Township Army, and the commander of the Hedong Righteous Army. Although "Doctor Xuanzheng" is still the fifth grade, the rank has been upgraded to the fourth military rank. Moreover, the observation envoy has always been a military minister who played the official before he was promoted, and Li Gang did this. It seems that next year I really plan to mention Xu Wei again.

In addition to the main generals, the generals who went to Hedong this time also had awards. For example, Yang Yan and Ma Tai were both promoted to the "Wuyi Doctor" of the Seventh Rank because of their meritorious work, especially Yang Yan, who also won the false title of "Jingzhou Thorn History". Although the history of thorns is false. But it's really from the five products. Then someone asked, is Yang Yan a seventh grade or a fifth grade?

First of all, Yang Yan's "Thorn History" is called "Yao County Thorn History" Yao, which is far away. In other words, his assassination history is "remote collar", and he does not need to take office, but only as an additional official to show recognition. According to the Song Dynasty's heavy rank is not heavy on products, and the regulations of "the assets of the remote recipient and the official description", whenever a certain doctor and the Yao County Thorn History (Cheng Xuan Envoy, Defense Envoy, and Regiment Training Envoy) appear at the same time, all of them will be subject to the military rank of a certain doctor, and Yang Yan is still a seven-rank military attaché. It's just that Li Gang heard that this fight was desperate and didn't even get a single eye, so he added the title of assassination to show his praise.

In addition, since the name of the "Hujie Township Army" has not changed, they still receive extremely low salaries, and they can only earn rewards by winning in battle. Li Gang obviously understood this, and when he came with the announcement of the commendation and promotion order for the officials, there was a reward for the Hujie soldiers. Three times in one head. This is only for the non-commissioned officers, not counting the reward for the commander-in-chief.

Since Xu Wei led the troops, there is a problem. In this era, there is darkness in the officialdom. But the reward of the Hujie army, not to mention the deduction, has never even delayed, and it will be settled soon after the battle, and it will never be missing you. It seems that the Great Song Dynasty is really not bad for money, and when it was driven away, the Son of Heaven rewarded him in Tokyo, and the money and property rewarded at that time were probably tens of millions, but I didn't see the official frowning.

In fact, he only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other. The economy of the Great Song Dynasty is indeed good, and the taxes are indeed abundant. However, when Zhao Wei was in power, he was often financially stretched, and he couldn't help spending money indiscriminately. When Zhao Huan was the emperor, he pursued frugality, which saved some money for the treasury. Moreover, if history unfolds according to the original trajectory, the Jin army attacks Tokyo for the second time, and the two countries negotiate peace, and the Great Song Dynasty wants to pay 50 million taels of silver to the Jurchens alone, then where will the money come from for military spending?

What kind of official is sealed, how much is the reward, Xu Wei certainly cares. But what he cares more about is the replenishment of ordnance and equipment, and nearly half of the casualties of Hujie are in the battle of Xishan, and he must re-recruit strong men to enrich the troops, and the equipment problem should be the brunt. Moreover, the Dingcheng Army directly belonged to the Shaanxi Xuanfu Envoy, and the weapons and equipment must be asked for from Jingzhao. But this time, when someone came from above, I saw only the letter of appointment and piles of money, not a gun and a set of armor. Moreover, he had already reported to the Xuanfu Yamen and asked for 1,500 war horses. I didn't even see a single horsehair.

Originally, he thought that someone was getting in the way and deliberately stuck his equipment. invited a group of officials from Jing Zhaolai to eat and drink, and when he was drunk and the poems were rough, they told him the truth. Lingzun's name is in those few stones. You are a military minister personally promoted by the official family, who wants to find equipment that doesn't hurt you? If I can't tell you that I can't spread the word, you may have to draw a separate road here as the front line of resistance or attack on Li Yingnuzhen in the future. If you want to equip yourself, when things are decided and the candidates are placed, ask the new marshal yourself.

This news is not trivial for Xu Wei. If you draw a separate route here, then the new boss will be his top boss in the future. I have to ask who it is? But no matter how he poured wine or spied, these civil and military officials from Jing Zhaolai just refused to talk about it. Later, I was forced to be in a hurry. A chief asked, Xu Dashuai from Jingyuan is your cousin, right? Xu Wei said, ah, yes, what? The other party said that it was related to Xu Yuan, and he asked a lot.

Something to do with Big Brother? If the eldest brother is transferred over, then the family must have said it directly, since it is said to be related, then Bao Buqi is the chief of Jingyuan Road. I thought of my sister-in-law entrusting a nephew to come over. This should not be groundless. That's a good thing. The Dingcheng Army directly belongs to the Xuanfu Envoy, and all matters large and small must be reported to Jingzhao. Li Gang is in charge of such a large area of civil affairs, military, and political affairs, and is busy, and there is always a delay. If you draw a separate road, it will be much more convenient to do things in the future. It is also of great benefit to the control of the situation in Hedong.

Anyway, it was not Xu Wei's turn to worry about this matter, and after sending off the Jingzhao officials, he set out to select brave soldiers from the township soldiers to enrich the troops. The Dingcheng Army is now several times larger than the expansion of the defense area, but Hujie only has more than 10,000 people left, and it is at the forefront, so it is obvious that the number of troops is insufficient. At present, most of the displaced people in Dingrong have fled from Hedong, and many of them are strong men. Enlisting in the army can serve the country and fight against the golden dog, and secondly, you can earn a few to support the old family, so as soon as the conscription order of the Zhijun Yamen came out, the Hedong men who were organized as township soldiers responded in groups. It's just that Hujie is extremely strict in recruitment. Progress has been slow due to the many constraints on all fronts. It is said that recruiting troops in troubled times is a matter of people, but Xu Wei has always thought that more people and horses are not necessarily stronger, Li Zhi has enough people and horses, and he is not scattered as birds and beasts when he fights? But what's the situation now? Shaanxi is expanding all walks of life, but there are so many people. As a result, even if he chose the rest, everyone treated them as treasures. Xu Si came from Tongzhou and requisitioned thousands of people.

In fact, in the entire Great Song Dynasty, the best source of soldiers is in Jingyuan, Huanqing, and Duyan, especially in the Qinlong area. These places don't mention the regular army of the imperial court, even if it is a soldier, a township soldier, or even a loyal patrol society. They have been entangled with the party and the Qingtang Zhuqiang for more than 100 years.

For generations, men have been fighting for the Western Army, and men have lived no more than thirty, and scenes of a bunch of widows living together abound. If a township soldier is mentioned casually, his individual combat effectiveness can be said to be not inferior to that of the Jurchens. However, the Western Army has always been criticized for one thing, that is, military discipline is not good. At the time of square la, the people of Jiangnan hated the Western army as much as they hated the rebel army, because these guys did a lot of rape, murder and plunder.

It's no wonder that if you think about it, you can fight and have a wild temperament. This temperament is wild, and he will not obey discipline. In addition, because of the special location of Shaanxi Zhulu, they have to face strong party members for more than 100 years, so they are stunned to grind the imperial court's "separation of soldiers and changing the law" into waste paper. Especially when Zhao Wei was in power, the Western Army seemed to have become a professional army with a strict military household system that had been passed down from generation to generation. If the generals of the Western Army are killed in battle, and the son of the son is on top, or the son is too young, the younger brother is on top, the father dies and the son is replaced, and the brother dies and the brother dies, and the Privy Council is in charge of the national military affairs, is it enough for a cow? But it couldn't meddle in the personnel of the Western Army at all. Whenever Tokyo sent people to Shaanxi to control the soldiers and horses, the Western Han Dynasty had to think about how to give him a horse. When the idle civil officials encounter these goods, they are all holding their heads and running away, and you can't command them at all.

Why did Tong Guan divide the Western Army in the first place? That's because he is now, although Lao Tzu is gone. But it's a privy envoy, a dignified ruler, do you dare to disobey the yang and the yin? Do you want to rebel? The Western Army may not have the courage to rebel, but it is still no problem to rectify your eunuchs. However, Tong Guan did have the means, when he went out of the west of the town. Through several big victories and the establishment of a certain prestige, he really won over young generals like Ma Kuo, Yang Keshi, and Gao Shixuan, as well as straw bags like Liu Yanqing. But like the planters, the Yao family, these Western Army bigwigs, don't like him at all. Tong Guan later issued an edict to lead the Western Army to crusade against the Khitan in response to Song Jin's "Sea Alliance", why did it fail? It's not that the Western Army can't fight, but he uses Liu Yanqing, who took refuge in him, as the main general, and this guy is not handsome at all. He took his cronies to fight in front of the Western Army, and the other Western Army generals watched coldly, and let him suffer a big defeat in Baigou, and the Northern Expedition was over.

Xu Shao is now a privy envoy, and he is very cunning. I can't meddle in the affairs of the Western Army, so I'll put all the boys in my family in the Western Army to go headquartered, right? Anyway, we are also from the Western Army, you uncles and uncles always have to take care of the little ones for me, don't you?

Li Gang is currently proclaiming the pacification of Shaanxi, and his political opponent Geng Nanzhong all said that he had achieved remarkable results in governing Shaanxi, but in fact that meant civil affairs. In military affairs, he also has the feeling that he can't insert a needle and can't splash water. Xu Wei went to Hedong a few days ago to solicit information, he originally planned to send Zhang Shen, the marshal of Duyan, to help in the battle, why didn't he do it. People don't want to move. At this time, he understood that Fan Zhixu led the King of the Western Army of the Five Routes, and the reason why Huangguan suffered defeat was that the Western Army was unhappy with his blind staff and commanded, and the cavalry of the Jin Army did not rush to him, and the Western Army dispersed by itself. Only Liu Guangshi, oh yes, it was Liu Yanqing's son who protected him.

Some people may have doubts that the Song Dynasty has tried its best to control the military ministers since Zhao Kuangyin, and the Western Army is so domineering. Zhao estimates, Zhao Huan, father and son, don't move them? First of all, you can't move, the three major factions of the Song Army, the Jingying, the Hebei Army, and the Western Army, now the Western Army is left to fight, and if the Western Army is moved, it will destroy the Great Wall. Secondly, you don't have to move. Although the Western Army is a thorn, such a large area as Shaanxi is divided into several roads, and now Li Gang plans to go out all the way again, why? Disperse forces to facilitate control and make them not a threat to the imperial court. This is also the reason why Zhao Huan tried his best to promote young generals and train the new army. To put it bluntly, Xu Wei is a test field. Zhao Huan asked him to train the new army, and when he saw it, he could still fight, isn't this just like coaxing the seedlings, swarming to train the new army?

In short, the water in Shaanxi is very muddy, of course, if you come to fish in troubled waters, it is a good place. (To be continued)
