Chapter 245: Not Bad Money
If he didn't know Yu Yin, if he didn't know the Hanism in Yu Yin's bones, An Daoquan would even think that Yu Yin had a tendency to betray the country.
"Aiding Xiliao, it's not appropriate."
How could he not hear that Yu Yin's so-called 'Xizhou Trade Route' was actually a change of direction to give aid to Xiliao.
Yu Yin sighed, "It's a last resort, how can I not know that this matter is inappropriate?"
But in the current situation, it is not easy for my Great Song Dynasty to resist the capture of the soldiers. It's not that my Great Song Dynasty is not strong, but that the Manchu Dynasty has no accurate understanding of the Jin people from top to bottom. Li Bangyan and his ilk are afraid of captives; Li Gang and Li Ruoshui treat the captives as if they were nothing. In addition, since the declaration of peace, there have been endless rebellions and natural disasters, and our Great Song Dynasty soldiers have been extremely corrupted. There are good generals, but they cannot be trusted, and many people who do not know about military affairs point fingers. In such a situation, it is really difficult to resist the front of the captives, not to mention the attitude of the officials......"
What is the attitude of the officials?
Naturally, 'harmony is precious'.
Emperor Huizong didn't want to fight, even Emperor Qinzong didn't want to fight, and the final result was the shame of Jingkang.
Yu Yin said, his face even more helpless.
An Daoquan listened truthfully on the sidelines, but he was also silent.
"Then Xiliao, can you help?"
Yu Yin was silent for a moment, and said softly: "I can't say for sure about Xiliao's attitude, but I know that Yelu Yu Liyan hates the captives to the core. I don't want Xiliao to really form an alliance with us, and this is not something I can interfere in. I only hope that once Song and Jin go to war, Western Liao will be able to be in Xizhou. contain some of the captives...... As for the outcome, who knows? ”
An Daoquan nodded, and stopped talking.
Zhang Zeduan suddenly asked: "But I don't know what business route Xiao Yi plans to open?" ”
"My Great Song Dynasty has excellent weapons, and the Western Xia armor is unparalleled.
I want to communicate with each other...... In addition, some specialties of the Western Regions are exactly what I need in the Great Song Dynasty. As long as this trade route is open. Then you don't need to worry about money. That's all I can do, but I don't know if my eldest brother has an idea? ”
Zhang Zeduan said: "Who are you going to ask to run this matter?" ”
"Kaifeng Mansion Liu Qing. The hands and eyes are open to the sky, and they can take over; Hangzhou master Li Dayin, the southeast of the world. He is well connected and can also take over. So I'm going to take a two-pronged approach, sending Xiao Qi to the Jinning Army to be responsible for liaison and presiding over this matter.
It's just that although the little seven are clever, their vision is too shallow after all.
But at this time, I couldn't think of a suitable candidate, so I ...... can only let Xiao Qi go over first and slowly adapt. ”
Li Dayin?
Zhang Zeduan thought about it and felt that he was a suitable candidate.
As for Liu Qing, Zhang Zeduan has no opinion. But there was still some muttering in my heart, worried that Huang Xiaoqi would not be able to bear the heavy responsibility.
"Xiao Yi, why don't you go over too?"
"Huh?"
"My family has long wanted to get a glimpse of the northwest style, anyway, your side has stabilized, and my own family can't help you too much. Rather than that. It's better to go to the northwest and take a look at the local scenery by the way, it's not in vain to come to this world. ”
After Zhang Zeduan finished speaking, he looked at Yu Yin and waited for him to answer.
Yu Yin really didn't think about letting Zhang Zeduan do this in the past...... After all, in his heart. Zhang Zeduan is a painter, how can he handle such a thing? But after thinking about it carefully, Zhang Zeduan is delicate and very calm.
This can be seen from the previous rescue of Wu Song.
Even if Shi Quan was exposed later, Yuyin and the others were still very safe. It can also be seen from this that Zhang Zeduan is very careful when doing things. Yes, Zhang Zeduan is indeed a painter, but on the other hand, he is also a reader.
It's not that he didn't have a chance before, it's a different situation. ..., and more importantly, presiding over the Xizhou Trade Route does require a delicate person to carry it out. After all, this kind of thing, in other words, is 'smuggling'. This is a big crime of killing the head, and you can't find a big person to preside over it.
Ruda is a bold person.
The big things are not confused, but in the details......
Wu Song's situation is still unknown, but judging from his assassination of Cai Jun, he is also an impulsive leader.
Whether it is Shi Quan or Shi Yong, including Huang Xiaoqi, he is not a suitable candidate. After thinking about it, Yuyin found that the people around him who could come in handy were the only people who were suitable to preside over the Xizhou Trade Route.
"Big brother, you have to think clearly, the northwest is not like the Central Plains, and it is not like the southeast.
The situation there is quite complicated, and the captives, Western Xia, and Mobei aliens are entangled in one place. In addition, the climate is not very good, and the environment is quite harsh. If the eldest brother goes over there, he will have to face a lot of trouble, I wonder if the eldest brother can be prepared? ”
Zhang Zeduan laughed when he heard this, "Ten years of cold window, what I did was to serve the country."
In the past, I didn't have this opportunity, and I didn't have such a way, so I could only be obsessed with painting...... Now that there is this opportunity, how can I give it up so easily? As for the harsh environment, it's probably like when I was in Tokyo and didn't even have a place to live.
Besides, Xiao Yi is ready for me.
With Lu Chan and others here, where will there be danger? It's just that Xizhou still needs Xiao Yi to provide one thing, otherwise it will not be easy to win the trust of Xiliao. ”
Seeing Zhang Zeduan's resolute attitude, Yuyin no longer dissuaded.
From the current point of view, Zhang Zeduan is indeed the best candidate to go to Xizhou, since this is the case, I will fight this time.
I just don't know if what I've done here can bring a little bit of a turnaround to this era?
"In this case, then bother the big brother."
"But you don't know when you can leave?"
"You can go at any time."
"In this case, three days later, my family will leave for Huanzhou."
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Zhang Zeduan made up his mind, so he let go of his heart and drank happily.
That night, he was very drunk.
After Gao Zhong and the others rested, An Daoquan treated Yu Yin's body again.
"Xiao Yi's injury. It's no big deal.
Tomorrow morning, I'll go and dispense some medicine, and I'll be cured soon. It was getting late, so I rested early. You are now also the commander of the army, and you need to recover as soon as possible, and you will not be too tired. It's a bad thing. ”
Sending An Daoquan back to the house, it was almost time for the child.
Yu Yin stood in the courtyard and looked up to the sky and sighed.
A whole year of rebirth. So much has been experienced in this year. At first glance, there is no connection between those things. However, a year later, I found that there were inextricable links in those things. I don't know, how is Yan Nu at the moment? I'm going to be a father! As soon as he thought of this, Yu Yin felt an indescribable pleasure in his heart.
Early the next morning, Yu Yin took Gao Zhong and Wang Minqiu to the Wangxian Bridge Barracks.
At this time, Zhao Buyou had already begun to drill his men and horses, and nearly eighty sergeants were in the sound of rumbling war drums. Exudes a sense of might.
After a night of hard work, Chen Dong compiled a roster.
As soon as this roster is completed, it means that those people who came out of Moganshan have completely cleared their foundations. Yu Yin allocated the fifty people from Kaifeng to Zhao Buyou for training, and then distributed more than 120 sharp soldiers.
More than 30 of them. Skilled in archery.
It was led by Wang Minqiu and led them to train in the school field.
The remaining eighty people will be led by Gao Pet to temporarily carry out some basic fighting exercises.
When the sun rose in the east, the Wangxian Bridge Barracks changed the deserted scene of yesterday, and the shouts of killing did not stop. It's a lot of buzz......
Yu Yin and Chen Dong sat in the big tent and discussed things. ..., Chen Dong, as the chief secretary of the Ying Feng Bureau, was responsible for all matters such as food and salary in the army, similar to the secretary of the army in later generations. He is meticulous and meticulous, so he doesn't need Yu Yin to bother too much. It's just that Chen Dong was born in a poor family and likes to be careful with budgets. For example, about the standard of food in the army, he had a dispute with Yuyin.
"Xiao Yi, it's not that you're stingy.
There is a lot of food, and now it seems to be sufficient, but once it is full, it is just enough, and there is even a little shortage. Now you change two meals a day to three meals a day, and you have to have meat at once, how can you last for a long time?
It is the Tokyo Forbidden Army, and it is also two meals a day, and it has to be mixed with fine corn. But you are good, all the fine grains...... Also, your armor and weapons will also be replaced, which is also a lot of money. Li Ze doesn't want to make things difficult for Xing Hou in terms of face, but he may not be able to accept such an expenditure like you. How will this deficit be filled? ”
Looking at Chen Dong's calculations, Yu Yin felt a little headache.
However, he had no choice.
This is the real meaning of the soldiers and horses in his hands, and he can't be trained like those officers and soldiers.
"If you make some silver, you will make some silver, and what a certain family asks for is only a good army.
Shaoyang, there is a deficit in the account, so let me fill it...... It just so happened that the thirteenth lang sent 100,000 guan, and I allocated 20,000 guan for you to use. How can we train this team into an elite like Pang Wanchun's Black Flag Arrow Team. One day, when he fought a decisive battle with the captives, he didn't want to be like the official army in Hangzhou, and he would be defeated with one blow. ”
"This ......"
Chen Dong shook his head with a wry smile.
"Xiao Yi, you are also a wonder.
Since ancient times, how can there be such a person as you who has been training soldiers upside down? But since you ask for it, let it be your way. But the ugly words are said in the front, if the money is not enough, I will ask you to withdraw it, and then you don't have to push back.
Also, do you want to continue recruiting? ”
"Yes!"
Yu Yin thought for a moment and replied in a deep voice.
"How many people?"
"The main battalion is full of eight hundred, and the small battalion is at least five hundred."
"1,300 ......"
"The five hundred men were to be used as miscellaneous soldiers."
Chen Dong calculated in his heart, and he was also secretly speechless.
Looking at it like this, Xiao Yi really wants to do something...... Since he has this ambition, he will accompany him to do a great job......
was discussing, and suddenly heard Ji Qing say outside the door: "Metropolitan Supervisor, there is He Yuanqing, a native of Hangzhou, who led a hundred young men to join the army. ”
"Oh?"
When Yu Yin heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
"Since you are joining the army, you will follow the rules. I also want to trouble Shaoyang, and I used to build a roster for them...... In addition, bring He Yuanqing over. ”
Ji Qing took the order and left, while Yu Yin and Chen Dong looked at each other and smiled.
It is undoubtedly a good thing for He Yuanqing to bring people over to join the army this time.
At least in some ways. It can be regarded as opening up the situation. Yesterday's recruitment was mainly based on the help of the group of people in Moganshan. But that number of people, after all, is a drop in the bucket, far from meeting Yu Yin's requirements. If you really want to recruit troops from Hangzhou, you need someone to take the lead. He Yuanqing came here to solve the most headache problem in front of Yu Yin.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
He Yuanqing walked into the barracks. I felt a different kind of atmosphere.
On the side of the school field, Wang Minqiu and thirty archers were practicing archery; And in the center of the school field, the high favor who beat him yesterday. led the two teams to practice the art of fighting. Although he was holding a wooden knife and a wooden gun, he was unsightly during the exercise. There is no slackness. What surprised He Yuanqing the most was that these people were practicing, and they were fighting hard.
After a drill, the loser runs around the school field, while the winner continues to practice.
This kind of atmosphere makes people's blood boil. ..., which is completely different from the decadent atmosphere in the official barracks I saw before.
It seems that this jade capital prisoner is not simple...... Although it is only a soldier and horse who should serve the bureau, it shows a momentum that is not even as good as the official army.
Doesn't this show that the Jade Capital Eunuch is not the master who came to Hangzhou to make a living?
Thinking about it. Overheard his name called.
He Yuanqing looked up and saw Yu Yin standing at the door of the big tent waving to him.
This time, he didn't dare to be arrogant anymore, he took a few steps forward, bowed and saluted: "He Yuanqing, a grass man." Yesterday I offended the capital prison, and the real crime deserved ten thousand deaths, and today I brought a group of brothers to serve, and asked the jade capital prison to take us in. ”
"He Yuanqing, I heard that your name is Xiaoyi?"
"Ah...... This folk carries love, and my nickname. ”
Yuyin patted him on the shoulder. smiled: "Coincidentally, my own family is also called Xiaoyi, you and I are really fateful." ”
He Yuanqing was stunned when he heard this, and he was a little confused.
He didn't understand what Yu Yin meant by this, but he felt very kind.
"Yesterday I saw you fighting with Thirteen Lang, and the mount was really unbearable...... Speaking of which, I happen to have a good horse at hand, paired with the king chase of the thirteen langs. I have my own mount, and I can't bear to give it up, and it's a bit of a waste to keep this horse with me.
I saw that He Xiaoyi was also a good man, and his martial arts were strong. There is a way to give a sword to a hero, since you have come to help me today, I will give you this horse as a mount, if you have the opportunity to fight in the future, you can also establish meritorious deeds, and glorify your ancestors. ”
As he spoke, Yu Yin waved his hand.
I saw Ji Qing leading a king chasing a horse and stepped forward.
I think that at the beginning, Yu Yin got a total of three horses from Tian Xingjian, one jade lion in the night, and two dark clouds stepping on the snow. These three horses, the jade lion of the night was led away by Yang Zaixing, and a dark cloud stepping snow was taken away by Gao Pet. There was only one dark cloud left to step on the snow, and Yu Yin asked Gao Pet to bring it, and he was going to give it to Guan Sheng to get closer to him. But now, it doesn't have to. He Yuanqing is also a fierce general, and most importantly, he has served himself...... There is a way that fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, how can such a BMW be used by their own people, not to mention that Yuyin still wants to win over He Yuanqing.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dong Zhuo won over Lu Bu with a red rabbit.
Now, although He Yuanqing is not Lu Bu, he is also a strong general......
As for Yu Yin himself, as he said, it is enough to have dark gold, and he doesn't want to replace any horses.
As soon as He Yuanqing saw the dark clouds stepping on the snow, his eyes suddenly lit up!
Since the Song Dynasty, the Central Plains has lacked horses, and there is a shortage of good horses. For military generals, a good horse is better than a good field, and it has no price. He Yuanqing's family road was broken, and his horse was still snatched from a thief when Fang La was attacking the city. It's just that the thief didn't ride a good horse, but for He Yuanqing, he was regarded as a treasure.
Now, a dark cloud has come to him......
He Yuanqing was suddenly excited in his heart, and without saying a word, he knelt on one knee, "Brother is so loving, Yuanqing is willing to serve the dogs and horses." ”
"Ha, it's a lot of work for dogs and horses.
I'm not going to be able to do anything.
Yuan Qing was aggrieved, temporarily with me, and if there is an opportunity in the future, he will be entrusted with important tasks. ”
Although He Yuanqing is brave, he is only a fierce general.
Don't say that Yuyin's troops are insufficient now, even if they are full, they will not easily let He Yuanqing command the troops. After all, he didn't know whether He Yuanqing had the ability to command the troops, let alone what this person's temperament was, and he needed to be secretly observed.
He Yuanqing didn't care, it was a great blessing to be able to get the dark clouds and cover the snow.
Besides, the Jade Eunuch wants me to be a personal attendant, which is to trust me and give me face, how can I thin the face of the Jade Eunuch?
This is also a straight guy!
Yu Yin saw that He Yuanqing was elated, and secretly made a judgment. ..., he asked Jiqing He Yuanqing to prepare a suit of armor, and then took He Yuanqing to watch the assessment in the school field. He Yuanqing brought a hundred people over, but most of them were idle people. It's okay to bully some ordinary people, but if you want to pass the assessment, it's not easy. So much so that after the assessment, less than 20 out of 100 people passed......
He Yuanqing watched from the sidelines, and also felt a little blushing.
I cursed secretly in my heart: They are all uncompetitive guys, which is simply a loss of face for my Hangzhou people.
Yesterday, he lost to Gao Pet.
Today's investment is of course out of my heart, but I also have the idea of wanting to fight for the people of Hangzhou
It's just that......
He Yuanqing grabbed a group head that had been eliminated, lowered his voice, gritted his teeth and said: "I don't fight for it, but I have lost the face of my Hangzhou people." Go back and tell the heroes in Hangzhou that don't let the Yudu Eunuch underestimate us Hangzhou people. ”
The head and face were flushed, and he nodded again and again.
And Yu Yin was talking to Ji Qing in a low voice on the side, pretending not to see it, and didn't even glance at He Yuanqing.
After He Yuanqing reprimanded the head of the group, Yu Yin asked Ji Qing to bring the dark gold over.
"Yuanqing, come with me."
"Huh?"
He Yuanqing was stunned and looked at Yuyin in surprise.
saw Yu Yin turn over and get on the horse, Ji Qing held the reins in front of him, and walked towards the outside of the gate.
He Yuanqing didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly rode the dark cloud covered with snow, followed closely behind Yu Yin and walked out of the gate.
The three of them came to Yuyin's house first, and saw five strong men, carrying burdens and waiting at home.
"Bring your stuff and let's go to Xinghuawu."
"Xinghuawu?"
He Yuanqing was a little surprised, and couldn't help but blurt out.
As a local snake in Hangzhou, the name Xinghuawu is naturally not unfamiliar.
It is a restaurant located on the bank of the Su Causeway of West Lake, named after the apricot blossoms all around, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of West Lake when you climb upstairs.
During this season, Xinghuawu is the best place to enjoy the scenery of West Lake.
It's just that that place is not cheap, even He Yuanqing, who only walked around, and couldn't get a glimpse of Xinghuawu.
It seems that the proprietor of his own family is really a master who is not bad for money! (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
