Chapter 172: Itchy Hands for a While

Gao Huaiyuan nodded to Daquan and Zhao Futang and said, "I won't blame you for this matter, this is what I mean, you have done quite well!"

But from today onwards, let's stop being polite to Mongolian Tatars! Didn't they come to us to plunder? Then we can also treat others the way they do, and let them know that it is not good to provoke us! Are the Song people really afraid of them? Hum! ”

Fu Daquan and Zhao Futang were overjoyed after hearing this, in order to comply with Gao Huaiyuan's instructions in the past two years, but they have been affected by a lot of Mongolian Tartars, and have been restrained from the Mongols' attacks, which has begun to affect their military morale, and the local people have complained a lot about their behavior, and after Gao Huaiyuan let go today, they finally untied their shackles and could let go of their hands. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info so both of them immediately bowed down and said: "Humble obedience!" ”

"Don't rush to receive your life just yet! Zhao Futang, Fu Daquan, I want to ask you first, when I left Jingdong and returned to Lin'an a few years ago, did you have ready for what I told you to do? Gao Huaiyuan led them into the city tower on the city wall and sat down, and asked the two of them.

Zhao Futang immediately nodded and said, "Let General Fu report this matter to the lord!" The humble post also handed over this matter to General Fu to be responsible! ”

Fu Daquan immediately bowed down and said to Gao Huaiyuan: "Lord Qiyu, I am fortunate not to be dishonored in my humble position, and I have basically achieved the task left by the adult to my humble position!"

Over the years, the humble position has been absorbing the Khitans, Jurchens and some northern Han people who fled into the Song Kingdom from the north, they are all unable to withstand the invasion of the Mongols, and they are unwilling to be slaves to the Mongol Tatars, and almost all of them have a great enmity with the Mongol Tatars!

Following the instructions of the adults, two thousand strong men have been selected from them over the years to form an army for training, and now they are ready to be put into use! ”

"Oh? Two thousand? Gao Huaiyuan's eyebrows jumped, revealing a look of surprise, and asked Fu Daquan. Yes, my lord, two thousand people is not too much, and even two or three hundred more! Fu Daquan replied immediately.

"How powerful are they?" Gao Huai immediately asked...

"It can be described as tough! These people are also trying to survive on horseback in the north! Each of them originally had a good riding skill, a skilled bow horse, and after all these years of tempering, the humble position can guarantee that even if they are compared to the pure-blooded Mongols, they are not inferior, and against the same number of Mongol Tatars, they will not be defeated by the Tartar army! Although the Tartars have been constantly entering and harassing over the years, they have not begged for much cheapness, and they are often stopped by these people, and the Tartars they have killed over the years are basically their doing! For their ferocity, the humble position can be guaranteed to the adults with the head of the neck! Fu Daquan replied to Gao Huaiyuan with confidence.

Gao Huaiyuan stood up and immediately laughed: "Okay! Fu Daquan, if it is really like what you said, then this official is going to meet them! Where are they camping now? ”

"Just south of Jizhou City, there is a large grassland for them to practice and station!" Fu Daquan replied excitedly. "Good! Let's go to Jizhou City to see your troops! Gao Huaiyuan immediately raised his leg and walked towards the door.

"My lord, I just arrived in the Deep State today, don't you have a night's rest?" Zhao Futang immediately chased after Gao Huaiyuan and asked.

"There is no time to wait, no rest! We rushed to Jizhou overnight! But it's a big deal! I still have something to tell you to do! Gao Huaiyuan replied excitedly, strode to the edge of the city wall again, and beckoned Fu Daquan over...

Fu Daquan hurriedly walked behind Gao Huaiyuan and bowed down and said, "Please command!" ”

Gao Huaiyuan pointed to the distance outside the city to deal with Daquan and said: "This time I went to Xuzhou, and saw that Zhou Jun had built a large number of earthen forts in the west of Xuzhou, and stationed troops among them, these earthen forts constituted the defense line of Xuzhou's periphery, which was very practical and would have a good effect on resisting Mongolian rangers, and it was also very suitable to implement this method, using the earthen fort as a defense line outside Shenzhou, supporting each other, which not only played a role in early warning, but also cut off the back road of the Mongolian army that stole into the Song Dynasty, so that the Mongolian soldiers could not go deep alone, Otherwise, we may be stuck in our Song Realm at any time and cannot be withdrawn!

In addition, after the earthen fort is built, the people can also live in the fort and cultivate around the fort, so that these farmlands abandoned by the Mongol Tatars can be cultivated again, providing more food for our army, which is of great significance for the future defense of Shenzhou. Mencius has clouds, and those who have constant production have perseverance! The common people only have their own land, they will be with the army with one heart and one mind to defend this place, they are reluctant to abandon their land, once the Mongol army comes to attack, you only need to raise your arms, at least you can get tens of thousands of reserve troops, forgive the Tartars even if they are fierce, they can't stand the siege of so many Han people!

It is better to give these lands to the common people to attract more people to come here to cultivate, and the defenders of the walled forts can provide protection for them, and they can also use these walled forts and wasteland to raise some horses! The combination of the two, to give the common people land, the common people for the army to raise horses to offset the field tax, this can be described as the best of both worlds, why not? ”

After Fu Daquan listened to Gao Huaiyuan's words, he suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment, and his heart suddenly brightened, and he said with great joy: "Obey orders, adults are really gods!" Now there is a way to deal with those tartars! Not only can this be done here, but Cangzhou, Jizhou, Xianzhou, Enzhou, and Dezhou can do this, so that this place is more stable! ”

Gao Huaiyuan sweated profusely, this method was not something he came up with, nor did Zhou Jun come up with it, someone had already done it in history, he just came up with this idea in combination with Zhou Jun's method! However, Gao Huaiyuan fortunately has been quite thick-skinned over the years, and he can withstand such praise, so he bears it with a shy face。。。。。

Then he asked Zhou Hao to take some minutes and handed them to Zhao Futang and Fu Daquandao: "Although the cavalry is very important to us, but you don't have to hope too much to equip you with a large number of war horses, the infantry is the cornerstone of our Song army, this record is the training method of Li Xiaotian of the Jiankang Army, I think it is very practical, you might as well refer to some, absorb the useful things in it, and adapt your infantry army, so that under the brainstorming, the infantry army may not be able to defeat the cavalry of the Tartars!" ”

Zhao Futang and Fu Daquan both bowed down to take it, and solemnly said that they would definitely refer to it as soon as possible, and then adjust the army.

A group of five hundred light horsemen rushed out of the south gate of Shenzhou City and galloped towards Jizhou, most of these people were Gao Huaiyuan's iron guards, protecting Gao Huaiyuan and others out of Shenzhou, and rushed to Jizhou City overnight. . .

After nightfall, they did not stop marching, continued to maintain a certain speed, rushed to the direction of Jizhou City, only encountered a small episode, they were on the way to Jizhou City, the scout came to report that a few miles away from their right front a few miles away in an abandoned village found a small group of Tartar rangers, resting in the village, please Gao Huaiyuan decide.

Gao Huaiyuan's hands itched for a while after hearing this, in the past few years, he has been in a high position, although he led the army to fight in the south and the north, but he is acting as a commander, and he has no chance to get the opportunity to go into battle with a knife in person, since he has encountered such an opportunity today, he naturally refuses to let it go...

So he immediately ordered the action to cease, extinguished the torches in their ranks, ordered them to rest on the spot for a while, and then dispatched them, and quietly divided their troops into three directions, and outflanked the village where the Tartar rangers had been stationed where the scouts had found.

Originally, Zhao Futang, Fu Daquan, Zhou Hao and others were all opposed to Gao Huaiyuan risking his life, but Gao Huaiyuan refused to agree to their request at this time, and had to go into battle to fight in person.

Gao Huaiyuan personally led more than 200 people including Zhou Hao and Erhu to attack the village from the north of the village, while Fu Daquan and Zhao Futang each led more than 100 troops to attack the village from the east and west.

After the third watch, when the Mongolian rangers in the village also relaxed, Gao Huaiyuan and his party quietly touched the side of the village, Zhou Hao also led a few men over, and quietly killed the Tartar sentry on night at the entrance of the village.

It should really be unlucky for these Mongol rangers, they were attacked by the most luxurious officer corps of the Song army, killing them, and they didn't expect that today they would actually encounter a surprise attack by Gao Huaiyuan, the first powerful minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, the privy envoy and the left minister.

The Tartars in the village were unprepared, suddenly felt the ground shake, realized that they might have encountered a surprise attack by the Song cavalry, and hurriedly shouted to get up, intending to resist or escape, but before they could get on their horses, a group of Song troops rode into the village.

The snow bright war knife flickered in the light of the bonfire, waving and falling on the bodies of these Mongolian Tatars, for a while the wailing in the abandoned village was all over the place, one by one the Mongolian Tatars were instantly chopped down in the village, after several Tartars were chopped down, they fell directly on the bonfire, and they were soon burned to the outside and tender inside, and the air exuded a smell of barbecue human flesh.
