Chapter 10: Wu Ji's Training: Part II

Song Shenzong is paying attention to Wu Ji, and Wu Ji also wants to take advantage of this opportunity to win a good battle and contribute to the implementation of the new law.

The ending of the Song Dynasty has been proven by history: if you don't reform, you will die!

The Song Dynasty just died without reform!

Wang Anshi's change of law was indeed a good opportunity for the Song Dynasty to become stronger, but unfortunately, due to various reasons, it ended in failure, and the Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Jurchens and Mongols.

"The shame of Jingkang" and "the matter of Yashan" have made countless descendants gnash their teeth!

If he can contribute to the change of the law, Wu Ji will definitely do his best, and this training is not just a training exercise, it is closely related to the new law.

Wu Ji said that he asked the soldiers to pay off their debts, and the soldiers obeyed correctly, which shows that Wu Ji enjoys high prestige among the soldiers, and his words are orders, and the soldiers dare not disobey, which is a good start.

This is a good start, and Wu Ji's next training will be much smoother. However, the truth is far from what Wu Ji thought, it is very cruel, so cruel that it shatters all Wu Ji's hopes.

"Is this a soldier? Is this a soldier? Wu Ji looked at the Song army coming in a group, a little incredulous, and thought that he had seen it wrong, but after confirming it again and again, it proved that he was not wrong.

The first team of Song Jun was the gunner. The one who started was Li Mingchu. I saw that Li Mingchu's beard was shaved, his hair was tied up, and he was wearing new clothes on his body, full of energy, and the image of a beggar who wanted to kill officials and rebel when Wu Ji first met him.

This was a good thing, but he had no helmet or armor, and although he came with the gunners, he had no gun in his hand.

There were no less than a hundred gunners, and there were only thirty or twenty people with armor, and the rest were all new clothes, not military uniforms, but clothes that could be bought on the market. What is new should be newly purchased.

There were only a dozen guns. Gunners, as the name suggests, are soldiers who use guns, and their main weapon is guns. There are hundreds of gunmen, but there are only about a dozen guns, can this not shock Wu Ji?

This doesn't count, the good show is ahead, with the opening of the Song Army, the problems of the Song Army have been fully exposed.

The second team came with the knife hands. The swordsman is almost the same as the gunner, either without armor or without a knife, and comes with his bare hands.

The only bright spot is the new clothes, which are well packed and no longer look like beggars.

The third group came with archers, just like gunners and swordsmen, with only a few bows.

In the end, it was not the army, but the caravan. There are almost 200 people, which is the most neatly equipped among the 500 Song army, and their equipment is not swords, guns, bows and arrows, but carriages, mule carts, wearing the clothes of the people, like a child.

Walking in the head was Shang Yuan, who was dressed in silk and satin, which was extremely luxurious. In his right hand, he took a fan very inappropriately, put it together, and kept shaking it, and his face was still covered with Fu powder, which was quite white, a bit like a little white face eating soft rice.

Striding in, it is quite a bit of wealth. At a glance, you can see that he is a member of the family.

"Shang Yuan, what the hell are you messing with?" Wu Ji's eyes almost hit the ground, and he couldn't help but shout.

"Commander Wu, you old man doesn't know anything, we are returning to Yi Bing! Go back to the soldiers! Shang Yuan took off his robe, ran over quickly, and saluted Wu Ji: "Commander Wu, we are going back to Yi Bing to make money for Commander Wu!" Commander Wu, what kind of deal are you going to make? Qinlou Chu Pavilion, selling tea goods, smuggling horses and ordnance, and buying and selling silver with the Japanese people...... As long as Commander Wu gives the order, the brothers will go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, and they will never frown! Brethren, do you say? ”

Turning around, he rushed back to Yi Bing and snorted, the fan in his right hand opened unexpectedly, and after a few fanning times, he realized that this was a cold day, and it was inappropriate to use this thing, so he had to close it.

"This is Hui Yibing? If you want to open the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, this kind of unconscionable thing, you can say it? Wu Ji rolled his eyes, feeling powerless. Qinlou Chu Pavilion is the Memory Courtyard, and there is no asshole for giving birth to a child.

"Commander Wu, you are a good person, and you don't want to do this. However, He Wanquan loves to do this kind of thing the most. Shang Yuan wrenched his fingers and reported loudly: "We have three Qinlou Chu Pavilions in Xiongzhou, He Wanquan is still not satisfied, and wants to drive to Youzhou and Bianjing!" He wanted us to sell tea goods, and we could earn thousands of taels of silver a year, and he was all greedy. Commander Wu, you don't want to open the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, you can do other business, tea, porcelain, horses, ordnance, all very profitable......"

He was very familiar with this Dao, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became, and his voice became higher and higher, and he was foaming at the mouth.

"Enough!" Wu Ji waved his hand to interrupt Shang Yuan and asked, "How many times have you changed your arms?" ”

"Commander Wu, it's not much, there are only about two hundred people, almost forty percent!" Shang Yuan was still excited, and came up with an idea for Wu Ji: "If Commander Wu is too little, you can send some more brothers over, and the small ones must be ready to return!" ”

"Forty percent! Forty percent, not much? "Wu Ji is full of black lines.

"Commander Wu, how much is forty percent? Although He Wanquan's guy is hateful and greedy for military salaries, he is much less courageous in the matter of returning to Yi. Some garrisons are no less than sixty percent of the soldiers who have returned to change troops! If Commander Wu is willing, he will turn all the brothers into Hui Yi soldiers, and no one will dare to say a word! ”

Shang Yuan has a good business acumen, and he settled the account for Wu Ji again: "Commander Wu, you must know that the brothers are taking the military salary of the imperial court and returning it for you, and they don't need you to pay for it, and they don't eat you or drink yours, which is more cost-effective than raising slaves!" No matter how cheap a slave is, he will consume some food a day! ”

Forty percent of the Hui Yi soldiers, in the history of the Song Dynasty, is really not much. As high as six or seventy percent, it is not a problem. Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi, known as the "Four Great Generals of Zhongxing", turned the entire army into his Hui Yi soldiers, making cattle and horses for him and earning money.

Therefore, the people made up nursery rhymes to mock them. ridiculed Zhang Jun's nursery rhyme: There is no reason in Zhangjiazhai, so he spends his legs to carry stones. The two saints couldn't save themselves, so they built the Taiping Tower.

ridiculed Liu Guangshi's nursery rhyme: There is no reason in Liujiazhai, and it is easy to return to 200 states. The athlete is cheaper than the beggar, and the school gold beads are hidden in the high-rise building.

It can be seen from this that the Hui Yi reached an appalling level in the Song Dynasty. These returning soldiers took the military salaries of the Song Dynasty and ate the imperial grain of the Song Dynasty, but they made money for the generals and filled their own pockets. Although the Song Dynasty was intentionally forbidden, it could not be banned, and the more it was banned, the more it was forbidden, and it reached its peak when it came to Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi.

"You, you...... Listen to me! From now on, back to the Yi Bing canceled! Wu Ji listened to Shang Yuan's words, was speechless, pointed at Shang Yuan, and gave an order.

"Ahh Cancel? Shang Yuan thought he had heard it wrong, and was stunned for a long time, before he came back to his senses: "Commander Wu, you are loyal to the court, the duke is selfless, and you don't love money, but you don't have to cancel it!" In any case, you have to maintain the return to the easy, and if you don't want it, you want two percent. Twenty percent is the minimum amount of Hui Yi soldiers in the Great Song Army. ”

Twenty percent of the return to the army, this is the minimum of the Song Dynasty army, even the famous general Yue Fei, is maintained almost twenty percent of the return to the army.

If Wu Ji maintains two percent of the return to the army, Wu Ji will be a selfless general and a model for the Song army, which is enough for Song Shenzong to praise him.

"Commander Wu, you don't have to cancel, stay some! Leave it in two, and no one will speak! "Huangfu Song also came to advise.

"No!" Wu Ji was categorical and said loudly: "Back to Yibing, cancel all of them, and leave no one!" You are the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, you should be like a soldier, training, fighting the enemy, not trading! ”

"Really canceled?"

Hundreds of soldiers all shouted in surprise, their faces were surprised, and they thought they had heard it wrong.

Huiyi is of great use to Wu Ji, of course, Wu Ji will not use soldiers to return to Yi, he only needs to use the name of Wu's military industry.

"Shang Yuan, I order you, go and end all the trading immediately! Well, the women of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion must give enough silver so that they can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives! If there is a violation, military law waits! You hear me! Wu Ji paused word by word, and his tone was extremely stern, so that people did not dare to have the slightest doubt.

"Yes! The little one is commanded! The little ones will do it! Shang Yuan was stunned for a moment, but when he heard Wu Ji's tone, he couldn't help but sweat profusely, and trotted to handle it.

didn't run far, Shang Yuan turned around, knelt down and kowtowed to Wu Ji: "Commander Wu, although you canceled the return to Yi, so that the small one could not benefit from it, and cut off the small financial route, but the small one still has to say, Commander Wu, you are the master of the blue sky!" It's the blue sky! ”

"Wu Qingtian! Wu Qingtian! ”

The soldiers roared in unison, and the sound shook the sky, and the joy was infinite.

Wu Ji has brought them enough joy, but they didn't expect that there would be such a surprise. In any case, a person like Wu Ji will definitely win the favor of the soldiers.

"Hmmm! Commander Wu, you are this! It's this! Huangfu Song's right thumb was about to pierce the sky, and his face was full of appreciation, and his eyes were full of light!
