Zeng Gongliang grabbed Chen Yuan: "Let's go, let's go visit the marshals of Tianbo Mansion together!" ”

In the hearts of the people, Tianbo Mansion represents a spirit, a spirit that the Great Song Dynasty needs now, that is, "fighting"! There are a group of women living in it, and this does not affect the respect of the common people for them, because these women also adhere to their concept of men, fighting!

Therefore, even if those scholars look down on military generals, they can't look down on Tianbo Mansion!

When I walked a hundred meters in front of the gate of Tianbo Mansion, a big inscription stood there, with eight big characters written on it: "Civil officials get off the sedan chair, and military attaches dismount." ”

This monument was bought by the sons and daughters of Tianbo Mansion in exchange for their surnames.

Zeng Gongliang and Chen Yuan walked out of the carriage and walked to the front of the gate of Tianbo Mansion, this was the first time Chen Yuan entered Tianbo Mansion, thinking about Yang Paifeng, Wang Huainu, or the eighth sister and the ninth sister, or the legendary Mu Guiying, Chen Yuan's mood was a little excited.

They had been brought in by an old family member, and it was only the Lord of Cheshire who had come to see them at first. This woman's identity is the highest one in the Yang family except for She Lao Taijun, but Chen Yuan knows that Mu Guiying, who is now the head of the Yang family!

The Yang family definitely didn't know why they and Zeng Gongliang came here, so Mu Guiying didn't come out. But when Zeng Gongliang said his intentions, the Cheshire Lord knew that she couldn't make the decision about borrowing relatives, and he also understood the important surname, so he immediately asked them to sit down for a while and invite Mu Guiying out.

When Chen Yuan saw Mu Guiying for the first time, to be honest, there was a slight disappointment in his heart. originally thought that Mu Guiying should be as good-looking as on the stage, at least she should be wearing armor, carrying double knives on her shoulders, and having a heroic image.

But he didn't expect that Mu Guiying's first impression on him was that she was a very ordinary woman. He didn't wear armor, but he was a little taller than the women outside in the Song Dynasty, and his figure was not slender.

After Mu Guiying entered the door, she first glanced at Chen Yuan and Zeng Gongliang, and when Chen Yuan touched her eyes, she suddenly felt that the eyes that were shot at her seemed to have a very peaceful majesty, and she couldn't help but stand up.

"Which one is Master Zeng?" Mu Guiying's tone of voice was also very calm.

Zeng Gongliang hurriedly clenched his fists: "Zeng Gongliang, the official treasury knows the system, and I have seen the marshal." ”

Mu Guiying nodded, and looked at Chen Yuan again: "You are Chen Shimei?" ”

I don't know why, Chen Yuan suddenly felt that in front of this woman, his flamboyant skills were completely unusable! She seemed to have a hint of majesty and solemnity, which made Chen Yuan unbearable to blaspheme.

"Yes." Chen Yuan rarely returned to the question so crisply.

Mu Guiying smiled: "I heard Wen Guang talk about you, not bad." Let's all sit down and talk. ”

Chen Yuan and Zeng Gongliang sat on the chairs very well, Mu Guiying asked people to bring tea, and then asked, "You want to borrow soldiers?" ”

Zeng Gong nodded: "Back to the marshal, it's not to borrow troops, it's just that we want to use a batch of new weapons we have made to arm a unit and see how effective it is, but the ministers of the DPRK and China are against it, and it is really a last resort to come to the marshal." ”

Mu Guiying thought for a moment: "In other words, I will lend you soldiers, take your weapons to the battlefield last time, and see the results of the battle, right?" ”

Zeng Gong nodded: "The marshal is wise!" ”

Mu Guiying shook his head: "With all due respect, you can't see the results you want to see in this method." There are many factors in war that are beyond our control, such as the strength of the opponent, the terrain, and the quality of the soldiers you lead. ”

Zeng Gongliang and Chen Yuan were both laymen in this regard, and they were said to look at each other, and Chen Yuan asked: "Marshal, then how can we be sure?" ”

Mu Guiying said: "Actually, things are not as complicated as you think, whether this weapon can play a role on the battlefield, you can ask the soldiers if it fits." ”

After she said this, Chen Yuan's first reaction was whether she was perfunctory or not. Is it that simple? Impossible, right?

At the moment, he asked with doubts: "Marshal, although I don't know how to march and fight, I also know that if a person uses a knife, and you suddenly ask him to change the knife, he will definitely not be able to say it." ”

Mu Guiying didn't have the slightest sense of blame, and said to Chen Yuan: "Well, what you said is very reasonable, and it is true for most sergeants. Therefore, you must seek out soldiers who have been on the battlefield and fought against an enemy whom you are trying to restrain with your weapons. Let me tell you, a soldier is not a master of martial arts, and it is not easy to use other weapons with weapons. As an ordinary soldier, his weapons can be left behind on the battlefield at any time, or cut off by opponents. Therefore, the most basic skill he has to learn is to pick up any weapon and use it. Got it? ”

Hearing her say this, Chen Yuan also felt quite reasonable. He knew that the main reason he was so upset was because he didn't know the soldiers.

Mu Guiying paused for a while, and suddenly asked a question: "You guys, why are you thinking about building weapons?" ”

Zeng Gongliang immediately said: "For my Great Song Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji!" ”

Mu Guiying looked at Chen Yuan again: "Chen Shimei, I heard that you are going to spend all your wealth this time, and such a price makes me very suspicious for you to make a deal." Is it for the sake of the country, or for the princess? ”

Chen Yuan shook his head: "Neither." I continue to do business for the sake of my own life, to be able to live in peace. ”

Mu Guiying's eyes suddenly emitted a light: "Really? ”

Chen Yuandao: "The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were originally important places held by the Central Plains, but now they are occupied by the Liao State, and my Great Song Dynasty not only wants to enter the road, but also loses the horse farm!" The soldiers watched the Liao people come on horseback, but they could only watch them ride away again! How much blood of the people of the Song Dynasty was under the hooves of the Liao State? Every year, few people are frightened by the sound of hooves and cry? Marshal, I don't want to be the next one, and I don't want my children to live in fear of these hooves. ”

Mu Guiying's facial muscles twitched, and she was persuaded by Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan was able to convince her because these words resonated in Mu Guiying's heart. Before she met Yang Zongbao, she was on the side, and she saw a lot of people's blood and tears.

When she chose Yang Zongbao, she chose to fight for the Great Song Dynasty. For so many years, she has never given up! However, the Zhenzong period of the Song Dynasty was better, and there were a few battles with the Liao State, although there were more losses and fewer wins, Mu Guiying was willing to continue to bleed!

When she arrived at Renzong, she was a little disappointed. The imperial court is too cowardly in the handling of foreign relations! The recent situation at the border has been so tense that she vaguely senses that the opportunity has come again! You should do some preparations!

Mu Guiying said quietly: "Your Majesty, do you know that you came to me?" ”

Zeng Gongliang clenched his fists: "The lower officials have never shown the saint." ”

Mu Guiying stood up: "Neither of you has ever fought a war, although it is said that the manufacture of weapons does not require troops, but if a few people who have been on the battlefield give you ideas, things will go more smoothly." ”

Of course Chen Yuan and Zeng Gongliang understand this truth! Hearing Mu Guiying say this, she was obviously ready to help them! It is a good thing that Mu Guiying is willing to help, even if he really needs troops in the future, he will not be trapped hand and foot, and the faces of both of them showed joy.

Mu Guiying continued: "Let's go to see the emperor together, if the emperor agrees, I will help you." ”

Sending a few generals and a few personal soldiers to the workshop to help was not a big deal, in Zeng Gongliang and Chen Yuan's opinion, as long as Mu Guiying nodded. And that's exactly what happened.

But Mu Guiying insisted on seeing Renzong, the reason was very simple, the Yang family was afraid!

No matter how much blood the Yang family sheds on the battlefield, they won't blink an eye, but in the face of the open guns and hidden arrows used by their own people, the Yang family really doesn't want to be put on the ground and become someone else's trophy.

After the fate of raiding the family several times, as the representative of the Great Song Dynasty Military Generals Group, the Yang family is really afraid!

Mu Guiying brought Chen Yuan and Zeng Gongliang to see Renzong together, which obviously made Renzong a little stunned. To be honest, Renzong didn't want anything to involve the Yang family, because in his mind, the Yang family came to him for only one thing, and that was to ask for war!

Once there is something going on, the first person to hand him the battle table must be the Yang family! If such a gate had been placed in another dynasty, the king would have felt very pleased. But Renzong is different, he is too "benevolent"!

When dealing with foreign relations, he used the same method as Chen Yuan, that is, to use money.

The difference is that Chen Yuan uses money to pluck a few hairs from his opponent, while Renzong uses money to make the other party eat enough and not come to beat him.

Therefore, the Yang family's "invitation to fight" is a trouble in Renzong's view.

Fortunately, after Mu Guiying explained her intention this time, Renzong approved the matter without saying a word. As long as the Yang family doesn't come to ask for war, it's okay to say anything.

Of course, Mu Guiying would casually ask Renzong's opinion on the current situation at the border pass, but as soon as she asked about the situation at the border pass, Renzong immediately said: "I have already handed over these questions to those ministers to do, and I have already gone to Liao State to mediate with the party separately, Marshal Mu doesn't have to worry too much." ”

Renzong's attitude made Mu Guiying really disappointed, she would rather hear Renzong's roaring roar when she came in, and asked who would dare to fight in the Great Song Dynasty? At that time, Mu Guiying will come forward immediately!

To be honest, Chen Yuan also felt that Renzong was too cowardly in handling diplomacy! He did not approve of using the power of the whole country to sweep away the party and destroy the Liao State now, as Mu Guiying thought. That's simply impossible, the geography of Liao is vast and comparable to the Great Song Dynasty! Although the economy is backward, it is difficult to stop the ruthlessness of those shepherds!

The lesson from the past is Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, when Zhao Kuangyin tried his best to subdue three of the sixteen states of Yanyun, and after Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne, he made a fatal mistake, that is, he actually wanted to surpass his brother in military affairs.

As a result, several big battles were fought, and Zhao Kuangyin's elite soldiers were tossed clean! In a sense, the elite soldiers under Zhao Kuangyin were cultivated by Zhou Chai Shizong. The military system of the Song Dynasty was not at all a mechanism for cultivating elite soldiers.

So in the later period of Zhao Guangyi, the Song Dynasty relied more on the tongues of those civil servants to say peace!

It's a sadness!
