Chapter 144: The New Army

"Then I'm afraid it's really more than three million taels!" Wu Liangmou smiled with difficulty, while secretly sighing in his heart.

After walking in front of the ghost gate, he matured almost immediately. Many things that I wouldn't have thought about before can now be seen in an instant. Many details that I wouldn't have paid attention to before are now like the lines of my palm, and I can see them clearly as long as I lower my head.

The salt merchants of Huai'an must be eradicated! In fact, even if they did not plot to rebel, the Xuzhou Left Army could not tolerate them continuing to exist. Each salt merchant has hundreds of thousands of wealth, and each salt merchant has two or three hundred families, and each salt merchant is inextricably linked with the former Mengyuan government. In addition to these on the surface, they also control countless large and small salt cooking stoves in their hands, and under each stove, dozens or even hundreds of stoves and salt dices are controlled

It can be said that the salt merchants are the real government of this Huai'an City. And the Dalu Huachi, Fu Yin, Tongzhi, etc., sent by the Mengyuan Imperial Court, are just duckweed floating on the water. In the past, these duckweed were backed by the huge Mengyuan court, and they were able to achieve a clever balance of power with the local salt merchants, but the left army did not have the same support behind them. Therefore, the conflict between the two sides becomes a matter of time, and the difference is only who makes the first move.

The salt merchants moved first, they miscalculated the shape, thinking that there were only more than 4,000 soldiers and horses left, and it was already the end of the strong crossbow. But they didn't know that these more than 4,000 soldiers and horses were completely different from the officers and soldiers they were commonly in. Even the auxiliaries can keep them up for five days, and they are capable of crushing enemies three or even four times their size with the power of successive victories.

As a result, the salt merchants were defeated without any suspense, so defeated that they did not even have their underwear left. After the left army wiped out the salt merchants in Huai'an City, the chaotic forces that had previously attached themselves to the salt merchants also collapsed in an instant. As a result, Yancheng, Miaowan, Junzhai and other salt-producing areas were all decided without a fight. Sizhou, Xuyi, Qinghe, Taoyuan and other places in the upper reaches of the Yellow River and Huai River, I am afraid that at this time, they are also three shocks a day.

Beautiful, in the long run, this trick of the Left Army lures the snake out of the hole, and it is extremely beautiful! Not only did it take advantage of the moral advantage, but it also completely solved the hidden dangers under its rule. If the salt merchants don't come to the door to find death by themselves, in order to maintain the image of the benevolent and righteous teacher of Xuzhou Red Turban, Zhu Dudu is really not good to do it to them now. And the salt merchants could use more than just colluding to rebel. Give them plenty of time, let them patiently mobilize their hidden powers, and in the end, it may not be known who will die.

It's just that whose hand is this trick to lure the snake out of the hole? Whether from the perspective of yin flexibility or ruthlessness, it is inconsistent with the Zhu eighty-one strict zhòng in Wu Liangmou's cognition. In his cognition, the governor of his own family is a person who does not like to use conspiracy, and is not good at using conspiracy. The governor likes to be upright and upright, and he completely relies on his strength to crush it. It's like a water hammer weighing thousands of pounds, when it falls from mid-air, it doesn't care whether the iron ingot under it is square or round, anyway, when the hammer goes down, it will be smashed into a board, square or round, and there is no difference in the end.

Maybe the Governor has changed, too! Looking at the rippling daylight through the screen window, Wu Liangmou continued to sigh softly. The situation is changing, the shape is changing, and I am also changing. Since everyone is changing, Zhu Dudu can naturally become no longer the same as before. But is this change for good or bad? How should everyone get along with him in the future, treat him as the lord, or can they live and die together? He thought to himself, feeling his mind numb.

"What's wrong? The wound on your body still hurts again? Lu Deshan, you come over and help take care of him! I'm going to call Semu Langzhong right away! Seeing Wu Liangmou's face gray and white, Liu Kui was startled, stretched out his hand and touched his head, and ran out.

"Don't go!" Wu Liangmou grabbed the other party's wrist and ordered eagerly, "It's okay, I'm really fine." Don't make a fuss. ”

"Are you really okay?!" Liu Kui struggled for a while, but didn't break free. Don't dare to push too hard, stopped, and added with concern, "Don't see outside, let Lu Deshan take care of you, I'll go find Langzhong." He is now a member of our New Fifth Army, and in the future, everyone will be together, together, that boat! ”

"I'm really fine, I'm just a little confused. I've been asleep for so long, and I feel strange to hear everything! Wu Liangmou shook his head gently, put away his chaotic thoughts, and asked in a low voice, "What you said, the new, the new Fifth Army, what's going on?" And what kind of arrangement is the new army that Su Fuzi said just now? ”

"Hey, look at my memory! Forget the most important things! Liu Kui raised his left hand and slapped himself in the head first. Then he turned his head and excitedly added, "You don't know yet, do you?" Wu Youtu, you have been promoted! Commander of the New Fifth Army, General Mingwei. You let go, I'll get you something! ”

As he spoke, he shook off Wu Liangmou's arm vigorously. Striding Meteor ran to the cabinet against the wall, leaned over and took out a tray lined with velvet, then held it in both hands, and ran back to Wu Liangmou's hospital bed again, "Look, the red copper shoulder pads you have been dreaming of, there is a gold star on it!" ”

"Oh!" Wu Liangmou exhaled lightly, and suddenly felt a bright light in his heart, and most of his previous worries were instantly dispelled. Red copper shoulder pads, his efforts that night finally paid off. The commander of the thousand can lead the troops alone, and he no longer needs to be protected by others as a scholar. The things that my dad explained finally have a starting point.

"See, this, the key is this star!" Liu Kui handed the tray forward again, emphasizing with a bit of envy, "Without this star, you are just a thousand-commander like me." And with this, you are a commander, and you can manage six light cards like me! ”

"Commander?" Wu Liangmou raised his head and repeated blankly. He has been in a coma for too long, and he doesn't know anything about his recent life, and he is confused when he hears new terms.

"Commander of the New Fifth Army, General Mingwei!" Liu Kui put the tray heavily on the hospital bed, and deliberately said with a slightly sour taste, "Wu Youtu, you won the bet." Our governor is now wealthy, and he has formed five teams in one go, all called the New Army, from one platoon to five, you are the big leader of the Fifth Army, alias the commander. We people, well, and Lu Deshan, will have to listen to you in the future! ”

"The New Fifth Army? Commander? You" Wu Liangmou was obviously a little unable to react, and continued to look at him blankly, his face blank.

The Fifth Army, the Left Army was divided into five by Zhu Dudu, or in other words, Zhu Dudu was ready to build five teams with the same combat effectiveness according to the appearance of the Left Army. And he is the general of one of the armies! What a glory and trust this is, Wu Youtu, Wu Youtu, aren't you still dreaming?!

It's not a dream, because Lu Deshan, who was standing by the curtain like a shadow before, has already walked over and saluted him very solemnly, "Shi Luliang, the commander of the new Fifth Army, has seen Commander Wu!" ”

"Don't, don't be polite. Hurry up, hurry up and help me, Liu Laoer, hurry up and help me up to return the gift to Brother Lu! Wu Liangmou was dizzy from the impact that followed, and struggled to crawl under the bed. Liu Kui, who had just been promoted to commander of a thousand soldiers, hurriedly held him down, and said in a low voice: "Looking for death, you?!" Don't rush to death now, when the affairs of the Fifth Army are sorted out, you will die again! At the moment, our army is just an empty shelf! There are only officials, no soldiers. From the centurion onwards, you'll have to do it yourself. Hurry up and take care of your injuries, and it's only right to work a day earlier. Do more and do less, and people will call you this real! ”

Turning around, he shouted loudly to Lu Deshan again, "Xiao Luzi, you too!" Can you change the scholar's Sven energy! We are all soldiers and eat food, why are we so poor and exquisite! ”

"Captain Liu is right, Lu will try his best to change it!" Lu Deshan swept away the previous clear height and nodded with a smile.

"Then Wu will let it go, please forgive Lu Chang Shimou!" Seeing that neither of them was polite to him, Wu Liangmou had no choice but to lie down slowly again, and forcibly endured the feeling of dizziness to add.

"Lie down yours, lie down yours!" Liu Kui waved his arm and responded aggressively, "Xiao Luzi and I don't have the time to worry about these things with you!" Where did we just say it came from? Yes, an empty shelf, the Fifth Army is still an empty shelf! Not only our Fifth Army, but also several other armies. It turned out that almost all the soldiers of the Left Army were divided into officers. Zhu Dudu's side is also an empty shelf. Geng Zaicheng and Li Qi, who are in charge of recruitment, have already gone to the county seat below. Until they come back, you can continue to lie down and not have to do anything! Those trivial things are all left to me and Xiao Luzi to get them. He reads a lot, and he has a lot of ideas! ”

"Hehe, that's a good dare!" Wu Liangmou let out a long sigh and nodded slightly. The Fifth Army, a new army in its entirety. Although it is just an empty shelf, it is under his own command after all. And you can polish it from head to toe in accordance with your ideal appearance, little by little. Make it stronger, and make it shine brighter and brighter in the future.

The thought that he would be on his own in the future made him a little excited. Struggling to sit up, leaning against the wall, gasping and continuing to ask, "Governor, has Governor confessed?" The Fifth Army, what is the number of troops in our new Fifth Army? How do you get it, is there a charter? What is the matter between you, the lieutenant, and I, the general Mingwei? Why does it sound so different from the original? ”

"Hehe, I knew you couldn't hold it!" Liu Kui opened his mouth, his face full of pride. "General Mingwei is still angry, he can't hold his breath at all! Forget it, I'll tell you all about it, so that you don't be in a hurry. Our army, like several other armies, has a quota of 6,500, 300 pro-soldiers, 3,000 soldiers, and 3,000 auxiliaries. The other two hundred quotas are all kinds of clerical jobs, what is the law, the secretary, the merit test, and the like. And the minions under their respective hands. As for the specific constitution, it is generally every three into one. The hundred-man team was changed to a company, and even a group was added to the capital, which is said to be modeled after the Tang system, but each of them was under the group, and there were only three gangs. And then there were three companies, called battalions. Three battalions plus the commander's personal soldiers, miscellaneous duties, is a thousand-man team. Zhu Du Tutu was convenient and renamed the regiment. Three regiments, one brigade. Three brigades are one army. We don't have so many brothers now, and we don't have so much money and food, so the governor said that there should only be one brigade of soldiers and one auxiliary brigade under each army for the time being. In the future, when the territory and population increase, it will continue to increase. As for me, the lieutenant, and you, the general, it's more complicated. Let's let Lu Deshan say, he has a better memory than me and knows more things! ”
