Chapter 229: The Assassin Treats
However, in addition to the development of the two special forces on the field, most of the Qingzhou soldiers were still standing in place, happy to say that although the passion was flying and exciting, but for them from the bottom, food, clothing, housing and transportation, these survival capital and resources are real things, and everything else is just floating clouds.
"Lu Zhishen, distribute this money." A chuckle tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he said loudly,
As soon as the happy words came out, everyone's breathing was suffocated at first, and then it became a little heavy, and the happy eyes also changed a little.
"Soldiers, you are the protector of Qingzhou, and you deserve this money." After a pause, a happy look on his face changed, and then he said solemnly and loudly: "I believe that this money is enough for you to settle your family, from now on, you no longer have worries, you can train hard, fight bravely to kill the enemy, get ahead, become famous, be promoted and make a fortune, the glory of the ancestors is in front of you, what are you waiting for." ”
"I'll follow Lord Thorn to the death." The two special forces immediately led their subordinates to shout respectfully,
"Swear to follow Lord Thorn to the death." The field suddenly boiled, and countless soldiers bowed their heads and shouted with flushed faces, venting all the unwillingness and passion in their hearts.
Glory and wealth, glory and glory, life in the world, the most real pursuit is not these,
A satisfied smile suddenly appeared on his happy face,
The situation in Qingzhou is different from Xuyi, Xuyi is under the front of Chen's army, the people are worried, their first consideration is to live, and Qingzhou is now in a state of chaos without an owner, although the Northern Qi Dynasty is stupid, the people are miserable, and they have experienced the disaster of Dou An, these soldiers who are forced to join the army have no positive surnames at all, defend their homeland, overthrow tyranny, this banner has been corrupted by Dou An, so happiness can only be used in other ways, only real money, real things in front of you, In order to really let these people who are numb in their hearts produce **, so that they can have the goal of forging ahead, instead of eating and waiting for death,
After Yao Zhong distributed the money openly, fairly and justly, Happy began to preside over the integration of the 40,000 soldiers and horses in the military camp, and got the heavy money in his hands, and the soldiers were also a lot more down-to-earth in their hearts, and naturally they were less reluctant and more grateful to Xing.
Especially Yang Sijun, this wooden and somewhat cowardly young man, when Happy personally handed him a gold cake the size of a baby's palm, he fell to the ground with tears in his eyes, whimpered and made a heavy vow: In this life, he will repay Happy with death.
For the army in Qingzhou, Xingxing has also been rectified according to the establishment of Xuyi, but it is more thorough.
In terms of recruiting soldiers, Dou An did not cut corners, and the 40,000 soldiers were basically strong and healthy, which also made him happy and save a lot of trouble.
After eliminating Dou An's cronies and descendants, there were still more than 35,000 people left among the 40,000 people, according to the establishment of the army, division, brigade, regiment, battalion, company, platoon, and squad, with 10 people as the base, and Xuyi Tieqi temporarily served as the skeleton of grassroots cadres.
And Happy also completely put aside the official position of the army in the feudal era, and directly crowned it with the official position of the modern army, the candidate for the commander of the Qingzhou Army is naturally happy, and the first and second divisions are held by Lu Zhishen and Yao Zhong.
In this way, the tens of thousands of people in Qingzhou City are basically completely in the hands of Happy, but these people still lack training, and if they want to form their due combat effectiveness, it will take time and the tempering of the war.
After Gao Gao completed the reorganization of the Qingzhou Army, three full days had passed, and after explaining Lu Zhishen and Yao Zhong Haosheng to organize the training of the new army, Gao Xing finally dragged some tired footsteps in the heavy night and slowly walked towards the Assassin Mansion.
When he returned to the Assassin's Mansion, Zhang Shunzhi had been waiting for a long time, and he couldn't take any breath, so he quickly took Zhang Shunzhi to the study.
"By the way, how are things?" After gladly signaling Zhang Shunzhi to sit down, he gently took a sip of tea, and then asked,
"Back to my lord, there are a total of 1,381 households with more than 10,000 households in the entire Qingzhou, and all the subordinates on the list have been recorded, please check it." Zhang Shunzhi said, took out a thick stack of paper rolls from his arms and handed them to Xingxing,
"I'm sorry for you." happily put down the teacup, and the paper rolled up, and looked at it in the flickering candlelight,
The paper scroll is full of dense, neatly arranged fly-headed small letters, the handwriting is strong and powerful, which makes people very pleasing to the eye, happy frowning, engrossed in the hand of the scroll, this scroll not only has a personal name written on it, but also records their address, the approximate ownership of the land and property deeds, the amount of wealth they hold, very detailed,
After a short time, he happily finished flipping through the pages, put the paper scroll on the table, looked up at Zhang Shunzhi, and said with a smile: "Shunzhi, your words have grown a lot." ”
"The adult praised it falsely, and the pen and ink of his subordinates are still much worse than that of his younger brother Zhao Gou, and it is even more unforgettable." A hint of shame appeared on Zhang Shunzhi's face, and his attitude was very humble,
"Hehe, that kid Zhao Gou is indeed very talented in calligraphy, but his surname is a little frizzy, and he still needs to hone it before he can take on big things." Xing Xing chuckled and said, and then changed his words and said: "Shunzhi, you did a good job, the record is very detailed, what is the current situation in Huaizhou." ”
"Back to my lord, General Chen * Wu Mingche is still standing still, every time he is in the camp to drill soldiers and horses, rushing to make siege equipment, although Huaizhou City looks calm on the surface, but the atmosphere is very tense." Zhang Shunzhi replied,
"Well, Wu Mingche is waiting for the opportunity, waiting until the northern chaos in Huaizhou will break through Huaizhou in one go, or he plans to use Hezhou as a breakthrough, Hezhou is a nail in the northward advance of Chen's army, and Wu Mingche must be removed."
Happy paused, then frowned and continued: "Huaizhou city defense is solid, the soldiers and horses are excellent, and my father is in charge, Wu Mingche is not a fool, according to my estimates, he is very likely to attack Hezhou, Yangzhou Thorn Shi Lu Qian in the rear of Hezhou has always been at odds with Wang Lin, although he has a good ability to manage local government affairs, but I am afraid that he is not Wu Mingche's opponent, if Hezhou is lost, Yangzhou is afraid that it will be even more dangerous." ”
During the Battle of Shouyang, Wang Lin had placed him under house arrest, causing him to be captured by Wu Mingche, such a shameful thing, new hatred and old hatred, how could Lu Qian endure it, Wang Lin was not from Qi after all, and was not treated by Gao Wei, his status was naturally lower, the battle of Shouyang, Wang Lin was in the limelight, and Lu Qian had a lot of opinions about him,
"What do you think we should do, whether to send troops to help General Wang Lin, or to remind Lu Qian to be careful of Wu Mingche's plan to attack the west." Zhang Shunzhi asked,
"At present, Huaizhou is under great pressure, and we don't have many troops to help Lu Qian, not to mention that Western Chuzhou has just fallen into the hands of my father, and it is not very stable, Huaizhou and Hezhou are too far apart, and we are beyond the reach of the whip." He sighed happily, and then said: "Huaizhou is the biggest obstacle for Wu Mingche to advance north, as long as my father is in the Huai River Valley, it will be very difficult for Wu Mingche to go north, for this occasion, it is best to create an opportunity for Wu Mingche, let him attack Huaizhou and Western Chu Prefecture, and at the same time let General Wang Lin take some measures, otherwise blindly defending, it is too passive." ”
"What do you think?" Zhang Shunyi asked softly with a stern face,
"Wu Sangui, this kid has been quiet for a few days, it's time to move, let him raise the flag and go south, he must be imposing." Happy smiled slightly, and then said,
Zhang Shunzhi nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will definitely convey the order in time." ”
nodded happily, and then asked, "Is there any movement in Gao Wei in the north, what are Gao Sihao and Gao Yanzong doing?" ”
"Gao Wei sits in Yecheng, the messenger he sent to Dingzhou has returned to Yecheng to resume his life, it is said that Gao Yanzong is terminally ill and unable to move, but he sent his eldest son to the palace to Gao Wei to confess his guilt, a few days ago Gao Sihao took Jinyang City, but because the city wall has long been dilapidated, Gao Sihao and some light enemies, and finally lost, although Gao Sihao was defeated, but there are more than 100,000 people in his hands, temporarily shrinking back, the strength is still very strong."
"Gao Yanzong is afraid, but when the eldest son arrives in Yecheng, he will be able to live in peace for a while, but with Gao Wei's surname, he will definitely not believe it, so inform Sun Li and spread rumors on the northern border, saying that Gao Yanzong has allied with the Khitan Kumoxi and will go south from the northeast." A playful smile tugged at the corner of his happy mouth, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes,
"Yes."
For Happy, time is everything, originally Happy planned to develop himself secretly, and it didn't break out completely until the Northern Zhou Dynasty attacked Northern Qi for the first time, but he didn't want Ashina Cave Hezhen to visit suddenly, and directly disrupted his plan, but it was okay to be happy, and he directly pulled Gao Sihao and Gao Yanzong into the water, and then made a fortune in a muffled voice.
"Well, you go down and rest, and pay attention to closely monitoring the movements of Jeju in the west of Cheongju." nodded happily, and then instructed Zhang Shunzhi,
Zhang Shunzhi hurriedly said goodbye and left, sighed happily, his eyes fell on the paper scroll in his hand, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a playful smile, like a cunning fox, but very evil.
In Qingzhou, as long as the family is full, more than 30,000 rich businessmen and gentry, landlords and old wealth have received an invitation from Gao Xin, the assassin of Qingzhou, and Gao Xin will hold a banquet on April 28 to entertain them to discuss the future development of Qingzhou and contact their feelings, so as not to cause any unpleasantness in the future.
There is no good banquet, I am afraid that it is a Hongmen banquet, many people think so, but they dare not refuse, who let the next hire be the Qingzhou army that is eyeing the tiger, and Gao Xin has explained that these Qingzhou soldiers must escort the rich and noble men to the Qingzhou City Assassin Mansion safely.
In desperation, the people who received the invitations all prepared enough gifts, and on the twenty-fifth day, they came to the Thorn Mansion early with anxiety.
