Chapter 478: First Entry into Bianliang (8)
Of course, an empire is like a person, it will also get old, and the same is true of the Great Song Dynasty, since the Shenzong changed the law, the new law is right or wrong, the original morale has been destroyed, and the party has been stacked in the DPRK and China.
All kinds of systems that were operating normally at the time of the founding of the country have now collapsed almost completely, and it is the time when they should recuperate, but there is a great time to spend a lot of money on official saints, and the people in the upper positions are even more extravagant in the last days.
In order to raise military spending, the official family spends, the cost of millions of standing troops on paper, the huge group of scholars and scholars, the money law is constantly changing, the people are gradually impoverished, not to mention the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, other small changes are also rising one after another, but at this time the Great Song Dynasty also fought two big battles in the west and north at the same time, the west went deep into Qingtang, and the north reached Yanyun.
You may not be able to see anything on the outside, but the inner bag has come up, and the battle between the DPRK and China is still not ending. Historically, all of this came to an abrupt end after three or four years, and the former peak of this nation has since vanished.
All of this, except for Yang Ling, who crossed over, no one knows, even the vigilance of people of insight is not enough, but now, as the war with the Jurchens becomes more and more stale, no one under his command, especially the generals, will look down on the Jurchens.
Just like the recent victory in Shuozhou, this battle annihilated more than 4,000 Jurchens of Wanyan Zonghan, and the rest of the statistics were more than 20,000, but the Jinyang army itself had already lost more than 10,000 people, and the Zahu tribe was not counted in the proportion of casualties. The ratio of casualties between the Jinyang army and the Jurchens has exceeded one to three.
He Guan Ye has taken over Yang Ling as the deputy envoy of Hedong Xuanfu and dominates the military power, and the rest of the power is still in the hands of Wang Hao and Zhang Xiaochun. What's more, Yang Ling's management of the Jinyang Army is also arranged, and He Guan has not been absolutely infiltrated for three or five years, and now it is just the more than 10,000 people he brought and Wang Yu's thousands of Shengjie troops to listen to the tune.
Having said that, in the general direction, the Jinyang Military Department still has to cooperate with Yang Ling, just like chasing the defeated department of Yin Keshu, Lu Junyi, who has been interspersed and wound, intercepted the defeat and escape of Yin Keshu, and the original intention was to leave all this army here. He Guan also flew to Taiyuan to send military reinforcements, but he never thought that He Guan was greedy for merit, and pressed the Jinyang army of Shuozhou, which was closest to Lu Junyi, and he personally led 10,000 soldiers from Taiyuan and Wang Yusheng to the army. However, he heard that Lu Junyi's 5,000 soldiers and horses were fighting with Yinkeshu's 2,000 true Jurchens for four days without reinforcements, and almost the entire army was wiped out. Lu Junyi led 800 soldiers and horses to break through, and there were less than 500 people left in Shuozhou.
He Guan's report is naturally not truthful, but how to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and finally a certain unit of the Jinyang Army is unfavorable to intercept, and escaped for Yinkeshu.
Yang Ling, who got the news, had already led five hundred Black Cloud Heads and one thousand men to Bianliang City. It was silent to the outside world, and only in the dead of night did he beat the pillar and scold, "A group of pig teammates!" ”
At this moment, Yue Fei and Niu Gao were sitting in an unknown restaurant in front of Daxiangguo Temple. But they didn't understand, they just looked at everything in front of them, even if they had been in this city for more than ten or twenty days, they were still fascinated and couldn't help sighing.
"It's so lively! My old cow can be regarded as a character who likes to be lively, and these days, I have been dazzled and noisy! It was late at night, and when it hadn't stopped, the Bianhe River passing through the city was full of lights on both sides! The people of Bianliang don't seem to know what is going on with going to bed early, the banquet and play in the three streets and six lanes, our Jinyang army is stationed at Jinshui Bridge, and one by one they are also hooked into a panic............ Straight lady thief, if you stay in the city like this again, it won't be long before our sons and daughters will become a puddle of mud! ”
It was Niu Gao who spoke, he was dressed in plain clothes, wearing a purple head, the weather was a little hot, the front placket was open, and he was shaking a fan in his hand, indescribably weird, he grew up on the border, he couldn't withstand the heat, and there were big beads of sweat rolling out of his face, staring at Yue Fei who was sitting in front of him, and complaining there in a low voice.
The group occupied a private room on the second floor of the restaurant, and most of the people sitting around were Yang Ling's henchmen, Niu Gao and Yue Fei, the two top high-level military attaches of the Jinyang Army, were there, and Yang Zhi stayed by his side for Yang Ling as a general.
Yue Fei originally tended to be calm, but when he arrived in Bianliang, he spoke less, half of it was because he felt that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and half of it was because he had no confidence in entering a big city like Bianliang with some Xiangzhou mud legs.
After listening to Niu Gao, he smiled slightly, and there were three points of helplessness in his smile: "It's not better than being in the east of the Yanyun River, stationed in the military camp for half a month, doing military law, counting the daily return of Sima in the battalion, and the soldiers in the battalion are only four or five percent a day. These days, they have come up with various reasons to prevaricate and perfunctory, or visit relatives, or friends, and even have three colleagues to have banquets, and punish a few people, but they can't stop it, and there are all kinds of complaints...... Your Excellency has temporarily entrusted us with more than 1,000 military horses, if we can't take care of it, what should we do! ”
Yue Fei is not a person who likes to complain, Yan Yun turned to war, he silently received orders for everything, and never complained, but today he rarely made an exception. In the final analysis, Yue Fei was still a young man about 20 years old, and during the war, things in the army were simple, upright, sympathetic to the soldiers, and he dared to fight in front of the enemy to bring military horses.
When he arrived at a flowery place like Bianliang, all kinds of things that Yue Fei had never heard of came to him, and this young general, who had always been calm, was also a little flustered, not that he was not smart enough, but he had never faced such things, and he really didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Niu Gao sneered, but he didn't speak, and the five hundred people in Heiyun were cavalry, and the remaining one thousand people were infantry, and now the Ma Army's infantry army was stationed in two places, what Yue Fei's horse army encountered, how could the battalions of the infantry army directly led by Niu Gao not encounter it? Since this military horse entered Bianliang, these days are very strange.
The DPRK and China are still wrestling. There is no explanation on how to use the more than 1,000 soldiers and horses of the Jinyang Army as the backbone to organize and train the forbidden military, but the means below are endless. The simplest thing is to pull these more than 1,000 elites to become generals at all levels in the army through their colleagues in the three ya, and the colleagues in the three yas have face, have a way, and have copper in their waists. Every day, the generals of the Jinyang Army are led around to feast.
Among a military horse, as long as the generals at all levels are co-opted, more than half of them will be obtained, and even if Yang Ling is sent by the commander of the three yabu military palaces, with a name, whether this military horse will listen to him or not, it will have to be said.
Many hard battles have made the people of the DPRK and China see clearly the might and strength of this military horse, and they want to hold this elite in their hands even more, what a person Yang Ling is. While going cool.
As a faction hostile to Cai Jing, the convenience is that it is in control of the Privy Council, and it is convenient to act in private, if Yang Ling is allowed to gain a firm foothold and use a strong army as Cai Jing's auxiliary wing, I am afraid that in the future, it will be difficult to shake this husband if he does not wait for Cai Jing to die of old age!
At least half of the generals who obeyed orders under Yue Fei were born in the old army of Yandi or the children of local tycoons. I can't figure out the depth of the water in the Great Song Dynasty, and I can only rely on Yang Ling for a while.
His horse army is fairly stable. After all, it is Heiyundu's personal guard, as for the 1,000 Jinyang Army foot soldiers, they are the elite of the Huanqing Army who was born in the Western Army, and most of the generals from the Western Army are naturally under their command, these are all old in the Great Song Dynasty, and they were led by Yang Ling when they were fighting. Everyone is not afraid of death, fights to the death, and all of them are heroes.
But when they came to the land of Bianliang, these generals from the Great Song Dynasty inevitably began to plan for themselves, and everyone didn't say anything about Yang Ling's admiration and admiration. As long as the official family says that Lord Yang will control everyone, everyone will just die, but Yang Ling is not embarrassed to be hung now, God knows what will happen, everyone will have to live!
It is not easy to live in Bianliang, everyone seems to settle in Bianliang in the future, everyone jumped from the Western Army to the Jinyang Army, there are few families in the family, otherwise it is difficult to break away from the Western Army Jiangmen group, to settle down in Bianliang, there is no general to take care of, there is no colleague to help, how to succeed?
As soon as the colleagues of the Sanya were invited, they naturally arrived immediately, and they couldn't help but ask a few words about the Bianliang Sanya Forbidden Army, which of the dispatches were rich, and whether the big guys could get one or two, even if they didn't have this opportunity, it would be good to pull a few friends......
The Bianliang Forbidden Army has a car and ship business, a tea and wine business, an oil extraction business, a gold and silver work, and even a special organization of people to pull fiber on the Bianhe River, what kind of nest prostitutes and gambling, naturally it is indispensable, everyone wants to live in Bianliang, and naturally they must also find a way to make a living......
These are human nature, and in this era, you can't hide from it.
Although Niu Gao is rude, he also knows that this strong army is his future wealth and wealth, if the military horse is abolished, others may be accepted by other groups, he and Yue Fei have already branded Yang Ling, and they are gone.
In any case, we must keep the Jinyang Army group! And the ability of the Jinyang army to fight is the foundation of him and Yue Fei's rise to prominence, if the Jinyang army can't fight, what use is it for them? They are not the deep-rooted generalist groups of the Western Army!
He was irritable, and felt that the private room was even hotter, and almost shook the fan off, and before he could speak, he heard the voice of the restaurant waiting for the edict outside the door: "A few officials, but the fish is good!" The officials sat down and had no interest, so they ate a few glasses of wine with fresh fish and seasonal fruits, and then we came to serve. ”
In the sound of courteous greetings, the waiter of the restaurant has already pushed the door in with a few girls. Arranged on the table, this is not even a second-rate restaurant in Bianliang City, used to hold fish tart, the girl holding the fish troll is about 20 years old, the sleeves are rolled up high, the wrist is snow-white, looking at a group of Shaanxi and Hebei Han eyes cast over, pursed lips and smiled, but it is quite a bit of style.
There are more than a dozen pieces of tableware to serve just one piece of fish tart, the dishes of cooking wine and mustard are also prepared, the chopsticks are on the cloth, the wine utensils are also placed, and the two girls are standing beside them, obviously ready to pour wine at any time.
The arrangement of these alone is dazzling, this has not ended, a few small guys still come in with a copper basin, a pile of broken ice on the copper basin, hands and feet are placed in the four corners of the private room, the cold air suddenly comes to people, and people suddenly feel a loose block.
Yue Fei and several military generals from Yandi, today it was not because of important things that it was difficult to get out of the camp and Niu Gao for a while, anxious to control the troops, seeing that any restaurant in Bianliang was such a rich scene, all of them were stunned like dirt buns entering the city, and they even forgot to be anxious and depressed in their hearts for a while.
Niu Gao's head is better, Niu Gao is not as good as Yue Fei, no banquet is allowed, since entering Bianliang, although he has something in his heart, he has also had a good time, and now this scene is not much in Niu Gao's eyes.
The edict is naturally a well-informed person, looking at a group of big men looking at the cook with fish trolls blankly, thinking that these big men are suffocated, no matter what era it is, the best things in the world are gathered in the capital, and Bianliang is no exception.
The customs of the Great Song Dynasty, women but have a skill, earn more than men, if there is more color, it is even more rich and noble, among the small families who gave birth to daughters, they are all raised and dressed up from a young age, and they work hard.
In the entire Bianliang City, there are too many rich and noble families who can run around, and the supply of beauties is naturally endless.
Immediately, he was very contemptuous of these coarse people, his heart was contemptuous, and he was polite: "A few officials are bored with alcohol? We can arrange for our shop to invite a female playwright to accompany the officials to have a good time, but I don't know if a few officials have a familiar female book in the tile? If you don't know each other, but we come to invite the officials, the girls on Mahang Street refuse to go to the shop, and if you want to be invited, only the girls from the old Caomen Street on East Cross Street of Panlou Street can come......"
Poor Yue Fei and Niu Gao know this, they can't say a word, Yue Fei is young after all, his face is even a little red, a few dead people rolled out of the pile, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say.
The three-point lady was busy, and at the same time peeked at these men from time to time, pursed her lips and smiled, but she was a little tempted by the strong Yue Fei. (To be continued.) )
