Chapter 225: A Deal with Huangfu Ji (4) (3rd Update)

Wei Xiaokuan, the god of war of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, fought all his life, and helped him eliminate Wei Chi Hui in the most critical battle of Yang Jian's seizure of the throne, and made three sons as dukes, even now it is a very important family in the Guanlong military merit group.

Huangfu Ji stroked his beard proudly: "Wang joins the army, this matter is not difficult, the old man is the grandson of Wei Zhuguo, the Duke of Yunguo, and he grew up with the sons and nephews of the Wei family since he was a child, and no one is closer to the Wei family than the old man, since the death of Wei Zhuguo, the descendants of the Wei family have no real power over the years, like Wei Chen, Wei Zong, Wei Ji, these sons are just a title, only Wei Shou is now Jing Zhaoyin, and he is a little powerful.

If you want to open a shop in Daxing and run a business, Wei Shou can't get around this pass, Wang joins the army, if you and I cooperate in the future, resell goods back and forth between the north and the south of the Yangtze River, you will definitely set up a few stores in Daxing, and pull Wei Shou to join the shares, and the business will be much more convenient. ”

Wang Huaqiang was overjoyed in his heart, and the letter to the third brother also talked about the operation of Bliss Villa and Horse Racing Archery Range in Daxing, and many procedures need to be approved by Wei Shou, who is Jing Zhaoyin, for more than half a year, Wang Huawei has not been less filial to him, but Bliss Villa has not been able to officially open for business, and the business of the horse riding and archery range is not very good. Maybe after making contributions to Lingnan this time, Gao Xi will be satisfied, and then do a good job of Wei Shou, then his industry in Daxing will be fully lived.

Thinking of this, Wang Huaqiang smiled: "Don't hide it from General Huangfu, Huaqiang really has some business in Daxing, he has not been able to find a way before, and if he wants to honor Lord Wei, he doesn't know which way to go, if General Huangfu introduces him, it will naturally be better." ”

Huangfu Ji laughed: "Wang is too polite to join the army." The old man and the Wei family are not businessmen. But brother, you have a lively mind. At first glance, it is this great talent, and when the time comes, we will open a store, dredge up the relationship, and the money we make in the end will be distributed together according to the proportion of capital contribution. ”

Wang Huaqiang nodded: "Okay, after I come back from Lingnan, I will discuss this matter with General Huangfu, and then in terms of the proportion of capital contribution, you and General Wei's connections." The road will be counted as a part of the money for conversion, which is also a little bit of meaning. ”

Huang Fu Ji talked so much in one go, but his spirit was getting better and better, without the kind of yawning fatigue when he first came out, Wang Huaqiang saw that things were almost discussed, so he said: "General Huangfu, you have to go back to Suzhou tomorrow, rest early, if you don't have any opinions here, the last general will go to Liu Dudu and Feng Dudu." Ask them to find a group of officers and veterans on their behalf, Yang Dashuai. The last general also went to say hello so that he could officially make an appointment. ”

The corners of Huangfu Ji's mouth were slightly hooked: "Then it's hard brother, Liu Quan has a high prestige in the army, and if he comes forward to recruit people, it will be more effective than my general's order, but he and Feng Xiaoci are both injured now, I'm afraid that I won't be able to go with you for a while, or the old brother will take others to Xiangzhou first, while training recruits, while waiting for Liu Quan and Feng Xiaoci, the old man let them recuperate in Songjiang City first, and they should be able to set off in about half a month."

As for Yang Dashuai's order, you need to invite it as soon as possible, after all, the old man has no right to let these hundreds of officers and soldiers leave the army and go to Lingnan, oh, by the way, you also need Yang Dashuai to write an official document to allow me to handle the affairs of these 50,000 prisoners with full authority, otherwise I will not be able to temporarily promote some of the captive officers to manage these people as you said, and then prepare for our business in the south in the future. ”

Wang Huaqiang nodded: "If you are like this, then you will leave now." ”

"Don't send it!"

After Wang Huaqiang left the tent of Huang Fu Ji, he felt that the whole person walked lightly, and he had endless strength, he first went back to the city directly, and asked for military orders and official documents from Yang Su, one was for himself, which was regarded as an official official document of the Lingnan Ping Rebel Army that he had transferred from the Southern Expeditionary Army to Xiangzhou, and let him leave within three days, two of which were brought to Huang Fu Ji, one was to send 200 officers to Xiangzhou with Wang Huaqiang, and the other was to allow Huang Fu Ji to stay in Suzhou to have full authority over more than 57,000 rebel prisoners. The right to act cheaply.

With these two official letters, Huang Fuji quickly began to recruit people who were willing to go to Lingnan with Wang Huaqiang in the entire Suzhou army, because Liu Quan and Feng Xiaoci had found a lot of people in tandem overnight, plus Mai Tiecane patted his chest and packed the ticket when he met people, saying that after going to Lingnan, as long as he drank the herbs he prepared, he would ensure that all poisons would not invade, and more importantly, the Suzhou soldiers knew that after returning to Suzhou, there would be no war exploits at all, and going to Lingnan was the only way to make contributions.

Therefore, in the next three days, although Yang Su's army returned to the camp early, only one thousand cavalry brought by Wang Huaqiang from Suzhou was in Songjiang last time, but among these thousand people, there were five or six hundred people who took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Lingnan, and even many veterans quarreled for a place in Xiangzhou.

In the end, Wang Huaqiang did not go to Suzhou to pick another person, and directly came to a big competition among the 1,000 people, and asked all the people who signed up to go to Xiangzhou to test their archery, horsemanship, marching, queue and command of a team of 50 people, and as a result, 127 officers and veterans who were able to flexibly train and command a team of more than 50 people, as well as more than 150 sergeants with excellent physical fitness and slightly command ability, a total of more than 270 people, set off for Xiangzhou together.

The selected people were all elated, but the people who were eliminated were lamented and sighed, Wang Huaqiang did not want to sweep everyone's interest, so he borrowed 2,000 money from Huangfu Ji, and on the night of the end of the selection, he snapped up the Dongyang wine in the Songjiang area, and bought dozens of live pigs, and invited everyone to drink and eat a big meal in the army, as a result, the sergeants who did not go to Chengxiangzhou all praised Wang for joining the army and being generous.

Early the next morning, Wang Huaqiang took more than 200 people on the road, and Liu Quan and Feng Xiaoci's injuries had to be recuperated for a few more days, so they could only stay in Songjiang City for the time being. Wang Huaqiang and others arrived in Jiankang first, then transferred boats and went up the river, and after more than half a month's journey, they finally came to Changsha City, the administrative office of Xiangzhou, in mid-August.

Changsha, the city was first built in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Chu State, is a part of the Qianzhong County of the Chu State, is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, more than 800 years down, the city has experienced the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qin and Han Dynasties, witnessed the vicissitudes and changes of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but still stands quietly on the edge of the Xiangjiang River, under the Yuelu Mountain, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the people are outstanding, compared with the land in the south of the Yangtze River that is still in turmoil, it is really a paradise-like place.

The Qin Dynasty had governed Changsha County in Changsha, one of the 36 counties in the world, after the Han Dynasty, Changsha was assigned to Jingzhou for a long time, until the fall of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, when Liu Yu established the Southern Dynasty, in view of the fact that Jingzhou is rich in land and resources, strong soldiers and horses, it poses a huge threat to the central government, so Jingzhou was divided into ten counties south of the Yangtze River, and Xiangzhou was established, and this Changsha City was the seat of Xiangzhou, and it was also the place where Pei Shiju recruited soldiers.

Pei Shiju's temporary camp was set up outside the city of Changsha, he did not build the military camp in the city, but built a camp on Yuelu outside the city, while recruiting soldiers in Xiangzhou who were willing to go to Lingnan, while training the newly recruited soldiers, when Wang Huaqiang came here, he had been training recruits for more than a month, but many people heard that the place they were going to was Lingnan, and they changed their colors when they heard about it, and turned around and left after reading the recruitment notice, and after more than a month, Pei Shiju used a military salary three times higher than the allowance of ordinary soldiers, and only recruited more than 3,000 people.

Wang Huaqiang went to Changsha City today, I heard that Pei Shiju trained in Yuelu Mountain, he didn't even bother to eat lunch, and brought the more than 200 officers to the camp, it was the afternoon, the sun was hot, the whole camp was quiet, even the soldiers guarding the gate were drowsy, unable to keep their spirits, until Wang Huaqiang showed the order, the two guards walked in lazily, and after a while, Pei Shiju hurried out.

Pei Shiju was added to the official position of Shilang this time, and was awarded the title of Lingnan Ambassador by Yang Jian, if he was above the court, he could wear a light red official robe, but at this time, Pei Shiju was dressed in a military uniform, just like when Wang Huaqiang first saw him in Jiankang, he was also much more heroic, but the white-faced and long-bearded scholar style was still full.
