Chapter 24 Song Ke's military parade
Hu Chun's words were already unbelievable, but Wang Yi followed and added, "Han Wang's martial arts are outstanding, his medical skills are more sophisticated, and he has treated injuries and illnesses in Fengzhuang; More than a dozen minor and severe wounds have been cleaned and sutured by him, and all of them have recovered, and only one case has no surgery due to high fever after surgery. ”
Han Wang also urged Feng Zhuang to set up a Mongolian school, and personally educated more than ten children of Zhuang households, declaring that he was grateful for the life-saving grace of Zhuang Min. There are two people who are worried about their humble duties, one is that Han Wang's dress and words are particularly strange, and the other is that although he has read countless people, he can't see through Han Wang, and even occasionally shuddered."
Ding Pei listened to Wang Yi's words and his mind was churning, although Hu Chun was close to Song Ke, but Wang Yi secretly corresponded with him, and the two confirmed in unison that this Han Wang seemed to have a great background.
It seems that the Flying Tiger was originally subdued by Han Wang and then taken over by Wu Gui, if it is really such a peerless master, it is estimated that he will also go to Fengzhuang, listening to the words of Bao Ding in front of him, it seems that Han Wang is also ready to take the opportunity to ambush Erlongzhai, if at this time, Zhending Group practice is set out to block the back road of Erlongzhai, it is very likely to annihilate most of the Erlongshan bandits in one fell swoop, and then wave the army to suppress the cottage, it will be a complete victory!
But Wang Yi's later words caused him to wonder, "Wang Yi, what do you mean by shuddering?" “
Wang Yi looked at Hu Chun and smiled awkwardly, "I hope that I am suspicious of my humble position, and I have only been in contact with him for half a day, and my humble position is really unbearable to deal with him, just because Han Wang always seems to be able to understand what others are thinking in advance, so he can only end hastily, and can only guess by collecting a few words on the banker" Hu Chun also nodded silently, and it seemed that he also felt the same way.
Song Ke laughed, and said half-truthfully, "Now it is rumored in the market that it is the heir of Guiguzi, could it be that the source is the head of the king?" ”
Wang Yi blushed, and it was hard to say anything, just now his meaning would indeed make people misunderstand that Han Wang had a ghost and god scheming; But he couldn't forget Han Wang's breathtaking eyes, he only glanced at himself, and then he seemed to have a cold on his back, and his whole body was seen thoroughly, which was too weird.
In the end, he apologized and only said, "The adults are laughing, the rumors in the market are not credible, and the occasional feelings of the lowly position are not counted, and this matter depends on the adult's understanding!" ”
Ding Pei coughed, and then said, "The matter of Han Wang, let's discuss it later, now we are still discussing the rescue of Fengzhuang, Lord Song, what is the truth of these two dragon villages?" According to Lord Song, is Fengjiazhuang in danger? Is the county saved or not? ”
Song Ke is worthy of being the county lieutenant of eight years, Erlong Mountain knows everything about the grass and trees, and said at the moment, "Erlongzhai originally had a few bandits who cut the path, and then gradually entrenched in the stone Buddha cave of Erlong Mountain, the nine-headed dragon was the first place to win the bandit leader ten years ago, and the Flying Tiger was its sworn brother, the two of them were powerful and fierce and brutal, so they continued to coerce the surrounding villagers and travelers to go up the mountain and fall into the grass, these two years are known as more than 400 people, but there are people and horses in their early 200s, and then this year they fell into the grass to think that the fox served as a military advisor, It is said that he is a descendant of the Hu family. “
Song Ke said a pass, took a sip of tea, and then analyzed, "Erlongzhai to Fengjiazhuang twenty miles of road, two hours can be reached, according to the normal situation, the bandits travel and looting are mostly more than 30 to 50, this time because of the intimidation of the neighbors, and Fengjiazhuang Juzhuang resisted the seizure of the Flying Tiger, Fengzhuang Dingkou has exceeded 100, according to a thief can be hostile to two to three villagers, Song speculated that the nine-headed dragon should take at least 100 thieves to attack Fengjiazhuang, as for the specific situation of Fengzhuang, Fang Cai Baoding has been roughly explained. “
Huang Wei was not very familiar with the battle, so he asked, "If there are only one hundred thieves, the suburbs can mobilize five or six hundred, and the bandits in the Liukou Mountain can be broken with one drum!" ”
"Lord Song, such a great achievement, let the Sprinkle family blush!" Huang Wei is a descendant of Ding Pei, and he likes to make friends with people from the three mountains and five mountains on weekdays, so his speech and demeanor are slightly Jianghu style.
Song Ke has never seen Huang Wei's black or white, and responded coldly, "Within half a day, Song Mou mobilized six hundred, but the military horses did not move the grain and grass first, and the money, settling-in expenses, carriages and horses were needed, and the people were on duty, so it was five hundred, not counting the offensive and defensive equipment, repairing the aftermath, and helping the decoction, where did the silver fall and bothered Huang Zhisi."
It's not that Song Ke complained, in fact, the Great Song Dynasty had formed a practice of giving preferential treatment to soldiers, and it was really calculated that 600 people marched to fight, and it cost at least 300 to 400 yuan a day, and if they were defeated, the wounded would be treated and rescued naturally, and the families of the dead would be paid consolation money and funeral money, and if they were victorious, the bounty would be even more, not counting the people's ordnance, etc.
Ding Pei was naturally clear about these accounts, and hurriedly took over the topic, "Lord Song, six hundred to one hundred, it will inevitably increase the morale of the thieves, and the second is that Fengjiazhuang is 100,000 urgent, and it takes time to gather people and horses in the suburbs, why don't you first mobilize 100 soldiers in the city, 100 volunteers, set off in advance, and then send people to recruit more than 100 volunteers along the way to deal with the overall situation. “
Song Ke is not good at refuting Ding's face in public, but if he doesn't see the rabbit and doesn't scatter the eagle, he has to take out Lao Ding's money first, so he smiled and said: What the county respecter said is reasonable, Song should obey it, even if he mobilizes 300 soldiers, he will need 300 military expenses before he is pulled, and 300 will be needed tomorrow. “
Ding Pei is really painful, there is not much silver left in the county treasury, and it is estimated that the military expenses will be spent on this trip, and we will have to wait for the autumn tax to come up. But where is the money not spent? For the sake of the official hat to gamble, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Song doesn't need to worry, this official will give you a warrant to go to the county treasury to allocate expenses and military supplies, I don't know when Lord Song can be pulled, and when can he arrive in Fengzhuang to exterminate the bandits?" ”
Song Ke knew that Ding Pei would not be so generous, the key was whether he could give him a satisfactory answer, six hundred is not much, if it is converted, at most it is to defeat the mountain bandits and protect Fengjiazhuang, if you want to encircle and suppress the nine-headed dragon, you will have to damage a lot of people, as for entering Erlong Mountain, don't think about it, the situation in the cottage is not clear, and there is no good result in entering the mountain.
responded, "Lord County, as long as the money and food are in hand, you can start in the afternoon, and the pioneer is expected to arrive, Song thinks that he should be able to rescue tonight, and he will be stationed in Feng Zhuangyan to defend against death, and he will find out the truth of the bandits early tomorrow morning and then discuss."
Ding Pei knew that Song Ke was bargaining, but so many people had to pay 300 yuan a day just for eating and drinking, how could they afford it? Bitter persuasion
"Lord Song, the opportunity to break the thief is fleeting, and the logistics of your department should be borne by the county, if you win, the court will have to bother Lord Song to attach your name." At the same time, he folded the warrant he had just written and handed it to Song Ke.
Song Ke smiled secretly in his heart, old fox, I can't hold it, since you take out your hole cards, I can only be polite, "Where did the county zun say, how could the court report be Song Mou's fingers, I will urge all the departments to gather and prepare for war, and it is good to set off a moment earlier, and I will live up to the hard work of the county lord!" ”
After speaking, he went to the treasury with Hu Chun to hand over the warrant and proposed 300 yuan for military expenses, although according to the convention of half copper and half banknotes, Song Ke was still very satisfied, with money and power, he naturally had no disadvantage.
In front of the queue of soldiers and braves, there was a rack car, which was full of yellow and clear copper coins and banknotes, and two hundred soldiers and volunteers gathered at the school parade, all of them looked at it with blank eyes, and Ding Pei also urgently sent people to collect and distribute people's husbands, and there were special people to return to Song Ke all the way to Song Ke.
Song Ke held the three-foot Qingfeng in his hand, looking at the people in the field expressionlessly, close to noon, all the arrangements were in place, and the whole two hundred soldiers and volunteers on the field were all there, waiting for Song Ke to speak.
Soldier A and Yiyong both have their own ways, and quietly spread the message in a small area: "Old Uncle Zhang, I heard that the county lieutenant is going to take us to suppress the bandits this time?" ”
Lao Zhang is a well-informed person, "It's to go to kill the nine-headed dragon and the fox race in Erlong Mountain, follow me, your mother is counting on you to hold his grandson, you haven't even married a daughter-in-law, don't rush to die!" ”
The latter muttered, "Uncle, this is a rare time to get promoted to an official and make a fortune, if you don't grab it now, will there be a chance?" According to my intentions, with my skills, it is better to desperately drive his mother, cut three or five heads, and make meritorious deeds and rewards, isn't it better than anything else? ”
Lao Zhang quietly kicked him, "Muddy boy, dare not listen to my uncle's words?" Meritorious deeds and rewards are so easy to take, even if you can earn it, but you have a fucking life, and the other party has the same mind as you when you go to battle, so you are not afraid of being cut off by the other party? Don't think about good things, listen to your uncle, don't move forward in a down-to-earth way"
The kid didn't say anything, but he was still unconvinced in his heart, thinking that he was excellent in martial arts, young and strong, and he couldn't beat three or five thieves to catch him; really went to the battlefield, who still has time to listen to your uncle, the older he gets, the less timid he becomes, and the more he looks down on the veteran.
Song Ke listened to this, his eyes were sharp, he swept the soldiers twice, and the scene suddenly quieted down. The veteran naturally knows that if there is still something that does not open his eyes at this time, the military law will fall firmly on the buttocks, and the county lieutenant has always taken out the bastard who is not long-eyed as a baby, and he can't hear the messy voice at all.
Song Ke spoke, "I'm afraid you all know what Song is doing when he summoned the big guys here, it's good to know, the province is bothering, yes, I want to fight the nine-headed dragon of Erlong Mountain; One is to return to his father and the common people to live and work in peace and contentment, and the other is to rely on his own skills to fight for a wife and son, don't say that you bastards don't want to, anyway, Song's bones are itching all day long"
Boom, the whole field of soldiers and brave squirted out with laughter, this Song County Lieutenant really said to our hearts, when the soldiers eat food, those who are powerful and new to the military camp, who has no hope when they are bored, but this is not the Song-Liao border, they can't get a war, there is a Erlong Mountain in the county, the state capital has been standing still after the loss, and the strength is almost exhausted in half a year.
"What, Erlongzhai is not easy to fight, there are hundreds of bandits, all of them are outlaws? You don't talk nonsense, as mentioned above, this time there were only a hundred bandits, attacking Fengjiazhuang, and it is said that the Flying Tiger was caught. Do you want Fengjiazhuang to dare to catch the Flying Tiger, that's not to eat dry rice, we are not going to fight the cottage, we are blocking the mouth in Fengjiazhuang, and Fengjiazhuang should cooperate with the outside, not to mention a hundred bandits, even if one is against one, I am not afraid of his Erlongzhai, this time I am not going to earn ten or eight heads back! Don't be greedy! “
Song Ke saw that the heat was almost over, and said loudly, "Since these more than 100 thieves were sent to the door, Song Mou only smiled, if you don't want to go, just stand up, I won't embarrass you, but the money in the car is real money, if you want it, you can give Song Mou to rush up and cut his mother, hack to death a consistent money, hack to death three I will promote you to be a captain, hack to death five I will allow you to be a team." What? Hack ten? Are you dreaming, just your waist? If you can hack ten county lieutenants to death, I won't let you go! “
