Jiankang Mansion, Jinling City, is the Nanjing of later generations. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The dragon is in the tiger, the southeast shape is victorious, the people are outstanding, and it is difficult to be the political, economic and cultural center of the south of the Yangtze River. If you control Stone Town, you will control the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, which is the capital of the emperor. Because of this, from ancient times to the present, it has been the capital of the southern imperial court, and it is extremely prosperous. The so-called, the four hundred and eighty temples of the Southern Dynasties, how many buildings are in the smoke and rain.

It's a pity that after Zhao Da, the Yizu of the Northern Song Dynasty, eliminated the Southern Tang Dynasty, it was probably to prevent the scholars in the south from making trouble with the old dynasty, and deliberately weakened, coupled with the excavation of the Kaifeng Canal and the dredging of the waterway, Jinling City gradually declined.

Today, it is a huge stone town with a population of only about 200,000.

After all, Jinling City is a historical city, the city area is huge, composed of two parts, the inner city and the outer city, it seems very empty. Especially the place where the Sizhou camp is located is far away in the suburbs of the east of the city, surrounded by farmland, and Wang Shen didn't see a few people all the way down.

Lu Can said that the military camp was very large, which Wang Shen believed. It's just that the environment is a little miserable.

The former military camp of the Sizhou battalion was the military camp of the Southern Tang Dynasty's Imperial Forest Army, with hundreds of houses and a large playground, covering an area of at least 300 acres.

The ancient land, especially the uncultivated land, was very cheap and had not been inhabited for many years.

The playground is overgrown with grass, the houses are all adobe walls, and in the humid climate of Gangnam, the musty smell inside is very strong, and the cracks in the walls can be inserted with one hand, and there are small animals in and out of it.

Lu Can was a little embarrassed, saying that the place was really simple, but fortunately, there was no need to spend money, and besides, if the place was numbered, he could only follow orders.

Wang Shen smiled bitterly and touched the sparse short beard on his chin: "It seems that we have to tidy up this place first, and we can talk about other things after solving the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the soldiers." For the rest of the year, let's divide the labor. Our army has added 800 new soldiers, and it has become cold this day, and many people are wearing single shirts and need to buy some quilts to come back. In addition, the military uniform had to be made by a tailor. You have lived in Jinling for a month, and you are familiar with the place, so I will leave this matter to you. ”

Lu Can nodded: "Yes, but I don't have any money on hand." ”

"You don't have to worry about money, I haven't been messing around this month." Wang Shen clapped his hands, and two soldiers came in carrying a sack, and when they opened it, it was full of white flowers.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and Lu Can was overjoyed: "Daosi, you have gained a lot, it's good to have money, it's good to have money, I'm worried about this!" ”

Wang Shen: "In addition, we have to buy some rice and grain, and we must ensure that each soldier has two taels of meat per day." By the way, what is the price of grain and rice in Jinling? ”

He was a little worried, in the troubled times, the price of grain fluctuated greatly, and if he was not careful, he would sell it at a sky-high price, and the little silver he had in hand could not withstand three meals for a thousand strong men.

Lu Can's answer made Wang Shen breathe a sigh of relief, it turned out that the Jiangnan region, especially Jinling, has always been the land of fish and rice, with high grain production, and a hundred years of peace, and extremely low prices. Take rice as an example, you can buy a pound for six cents. A piece of linen cloth is more than 100 yuan, compared to the war-torn Central Plains Henan, it is simply a paradise.

Moreover, there is a moat on the Yangtze River, and everyone thinks that the Jurchens can hit the north bank of the river at most, which is the end of the strong crossbow. For the people of Jinling, the war belongs to another world.

Wang Shen: "Okay, you can take twenty soldiers into the city to do the rest of this matter, and the others will clean up this camp for me and live in the pig's nest, you are happy and I am not happy!" Everyone has to do it, including the officers, don't put on the shelf of the official. ”

Several officers smiled and said: "General Wang, when we used to be in the baggage camp, we pushed carts, escorted grain, straw, ordnance, and didn't do any work, what kind of official master?" ”

Busy until the evening, the grass on the playground was cut, Wang Shen looked at it, the ground was solid and flat, and it was barely usable. The room was also cleaned up, and Lu Can escorted the cart back with the food and clothes, accompanied by a group of tailors who measured the size of the soldiers.

With so many people living in the barracks at once, the smoke rose and suddenly became lively.

With clean houses and beds, the soldiers finally settled down.

Wang Shen looked at the sky and thought that there was no way to go to An Niang today, because it was good to gather officers for a meeting in the evening, and there was a lot to say. He went around Jiangbei for a month and gathered 800 people. Of these, 500 have been on the battlefield. However, the combat effectiveness is really rubbish, and it needs to be trained well to come in handy. Moreover, they are all new recruits, although they were temporarily organized into several teams, but this time they have to break up a mixed group of veterans, so that they can be promoted as quickly as possible.

After dinner, Wang Shen summoned all the officers of the army to his room, and called Yue Yun over with him.

When this kid was working in the afternoon, he was still holding his arms and watching the excitement at first, and he sneered at Wang Shen and the other officers who personally went to the field to cut the grass, and said what the dignified commander and the soldiers were mixed up with. In this way, the soldiers are disrespectful, and how will they lead the troops in the future.

After watching it for a long time, he was depressed, and couldn't help but take a sickle and join the team. After all, it is the nature of children, although they are tired and sweaty, everyone is busy and laughing, but they also find it interesting.

After everyone sat down, Wang Shen asked Lu Can first: "Marquis Lu Yu, the soldiers, weapons, and armor staff can be counted." ”

"The count is complete." Lu Can took out a booklet from his sleeve, opened it, and read: "My Sizhou battalion now has a total of 1,063 soldiers, 612 spears, 834 hand knives, 300 shields, 100 and 5 big axes, 60 armors, 537 sets of leather armor, 200 divine arm bows, and 10,000 arrows. In addition, there are six large yellow bows and ten small bow bows. ”

Wang Shen nodded again and again when he heard this, he really felt a little impressed with Lu Can today. To be honest, he really had some opinions about Lu Can in the past. I feel that this is a pedantic man, he must be benevolent, righteous and moral, and it is not good to lead troops to fight, and he has no prestige in the eyes of the soldiers, so let him be the Marquis of Yu, and the most military discipline officer is really a little embarrassed for him.

However, looking at him arranging food and lodging for the soldiers, communicating left and right, liaising up and down, writing and hair, he has the taste of the secretary-general and the office director of later generations. That's right, he was born as a literati, logistics and local administration are his strengths, Liu Guangshi, a stupid man, can't use people!

The officers were taken aback, and some couldn't help but say: "So sophisticated, this is already the standard of the main battle army." ”

"Isn't our Sizhou battalion now the main force of the army left behind?" Wang Shen smiled: "I haven't done anything in Jiangbei this month, I have accumulated these belongings little by little." "Yes, in this month, Wang Shen has worked hard for these equipment, using money to buy it for the Song army who refused to join his army, and directly robbing it, and finally allowing his subordinates to be fully loaded.

Coupled with a thousand soldiers and the silver he brought back, this was the only capital in Wang Shen's hands.

An officer shouted: "Our Sizhou battalion has only one battalion establishment, a battalion of 500 people, but now there are 1,000 men and horses. General, if you continue to expand like this, you will almost have an army. ”

Wang Shen continued to laugh and said: "Isn't it good to have more soldiers and generals, who will think that they have too many people?" ”

"Yes, many battalions now claim to have 500 people, but in fact, the officers eat and drink the blood of the soldiers very much, and it would be good to have 200. Not only are we full, but we have doubled it, and we really pull it out, and we won't scare people to death! ”

Everyone burst out laughing, saying yes, it's a little scary.

Wang Shen suddenly turned his face: "Now there are twice as many of us, but to put it mildly, eight adults are all recruits, and there are no ones who have never been on the battlefield, so they really pull out and run into the enemy." No matter how good the equipment is, it's just a gift from someone. Not only did I bring back the newcomers, but to tell the truth, the troops of the old baggage battalion were not successful. Otherwise, the cavalry that met Li Cheng at the beginning would not have been beaten so badly. The troops will be reorganized, and from tomorrow onwards, the troops will also be retrained. ”

Hearing him mention the battle of Plains Town, everyone's hearts sank, and they said in unison: "Yes, General." ”

"Alright, now let's start regrouping." Wang Shen motioned for everyone to be quiet and cleared his throat: "We are a battalion, so we are still divided into five capitals." Gu Lie. ”

Gu Lie: "The subordinates are here." ”

"Aren't you going to bring a sword and a shield hand, and a certain will fulfill your heart." Wang Shen: "The first capital, the number of people is three hundred, each with a knife and a shield, and the head is Gu Lie." ”

"Gu Lie commanded."

Wang Shen: "The second capital, spearmen, a spear in each hand, a leather armor, two hundred people, all ......" He glanced at the crowd and said slowly: "Wang Danian." ”

Wang Danian didn't expect that he was promoted to the head of the capital, so his body trembled with excitement, stood up, and tried his best to keep himself calm: "My subordinates take orders." ”

"The third capital, the crossbowman, has a god arm bow in one hand, the number of people is two hundred, the head of the capital, and Lu Can is also the head."

Lu Can: "Yes, General. ”

"Fourth Capital ......"

At this time, Yue Yun jumped up: "General Wang, if I don't do it, you give me the fourth." Seeing that Wang Danian was not a few years older than himself, he actually made a head, Yue Yingxiang was itchy and couldn't help but scream.

Wang Shen: "You are not my soldier. ”

Yue Yun: "I joined the army." ”

Wang Shen: "Go and tell your sister." ”

Yue Yun was anxious: "It's definitely not possible to talk to Sister A, she can't wait to lock me in the house all day long." You take me in, it's a big deal that I'll listen to whatever you say in the future, it's really not good, I'll call you brother-in-law. ”

Everyone burst out laughing.

Yue Yun clenched his fists and shouted, "Don't laugh, don't laugh, beg for a fight!" For a moment, there was a fierce light in his eyes.

Wang Shen ignored him and continued: "I will bring the fourth capital, spearmen, two hundred and forty people. ”

Yue Yun didn't have anything to do with himself, and sat down depressedly, so angry that his chest couldn't help heaving. He cried out angrily, "Since you don't want me to join the army, why did you ask me to come over?" ”

At this time, Wang Shen said: "The fifth capital, the number of people is sixty, equipped with one armor, a hand knife, and a big axe, and all the wrestlers in the army are transferred into this capital, as the general reserve of our army, the elite of the elite, I have also thought of the name, it is called Beiweishi, and it is used on the battlefield at the most critical time." ”

Hearing him say this, everyone lifted their spirits and looked at it with burning eyes.

What is the concept of a backswordsman, that is, a daredevil, the treatment in the army ranks first, and the equipment is also the best. Especially the armor on their bodies, when they were in Plains Town, everyone knew a lot, and the bows and arrows of the thief army were like tickling when they shot on them.

The sword slashed at it, but it was only a shallow trace. If you want to break armor, you must use heavy weapons.

The person who can lead this capital must be the strongest martial artist in the army and the most trusted person by General Wang.

Wang Shen dragged out his voice: "Dutou, Yue Yun." ”
