Chapter 120: The Autumn Tide (8)
Volume 2 Bianliang Mistake Chapter 120 Autumn "Tide" Secret Birth (8)
In the hall, Xiao Yan still shocked the audience as soon as he said it. The generals of the indoor Shenwu Changsheng Army, the "essence" spirit was raised at once, just like when Xiao Yan led them in Yandi that day. As long as Xiao Yan gave an order, no matter how difficult and dangerous, these generals would not hesitate to follow him and crash head-on with the enemy's iron cavalry roaring all over the mountains
Xiao Yan's sharp gaze turned, looking at these generals he had commanded one by one. The first thing I saw was the thick and straight man Niu Gao. To be honest, among the brothers of the Yue family who served him that day, Niu Gao was the least close. Niu Gao's director is just a brave man who fights in battle, but there are many brave generals under Xiao Yan's command, and I don't know how many are similar to Niu Gao. Relatively speaking, Zhang Xian's flexibility, Wang Gui's heaviness, and Tang Huai's sincerity and simplicity are more important to him. As for Yue Fei, he is a superlative figure among the generals, and he can't be compared. And Niu Gao also has a "problem", that is, he often indulges in alcohol in the army. **Annoyance didn't cause anything, but there were a lot of small troubles. Because of his close relationship with Xiao Yan and Yue Fei, no one dared to detain him. Xiao Yan couldn't, so he had to throw Niu Gao under the veteran ruffian Han Shizhong, and let this Po Han Wu take care of this Po Niu Gao.
At this moment, Niu Gao was just a servant of Han Shizhong's side in the name of Marquis Yu, saying that he was assisting Han Shizhong in leading the left wing army and horses, but in fact, it was convenient to detain him nearby. When it was time to go into battle, he rushed to kill with Han Shizhong. If Zhang Xian, Wang Gui, and Tang Huai were still in the army, their status would be above him. According to others, Xiao Yan treats this henchman lightly. But Xiao Yan was the first to find Niu Gao, and asked lightly: "Niu Gao, how is it doing?" What are you thinking about these days? ”
Niu Gao stood in the middle of the crowd, about the same height as other generals, but his horizontal head was half a set wider. One person has to occupy the position of one and a half people. Everyone's eyes came, Niu Gao scratched his head, held back for a long time, and then squeezed out a few words: "............ I don't know anything. To be honest, 'hand' over to me a command. I can't lead it well. I used to follow the praise............ Subordinate of the Demons. The wine and "meat" are full, and there is no shortage of use. When facing the enemy, just fight. Now I go back to Bianliang, but this can't work, that can't either. If you don't go into battle, you won't be rewarded. As for the salary, it is said that it has not come down this month. The wine worms in the stomach are going to starve to death............ Xian Mo didn't take us, he only felt that he didn't know how to make it because he didn't know how to make it, although he was good at wine, but he was not confused. Our military horses can fight, but I don't know how we can rest assured that we are always tossed by people like this, even if we are allowed to fight? If Xianmo leaves us alone, my old cow will be 'mixed'. Xianmo stretched out his hand to take care of it, and I listened to Xianmo's orders, and there was no second word. What the imperial court thinks, how does Xianmo do. As long as we can do our part and fight to the death in the face of the enemy, we will be worthy of our own hearts, and as for the rest, let him be a bird."
Although Niu Gao said it bluntly, the general meaning was always reversed and clearly said. Xiao Yan chose him to speak first, also because such a rough and upright person had little understanding of the situation in the court and had the least concerns. Say whatever comes to mind. Such happy words are the most likely to infect this group of generals. Niu Gao's words really did not disappoint him. However, Xiao Yan didn't say anything, just nodded slightly with a cold face.
But the other generals were seduced by Niu Gao's refreshing words, and they all broke out their grievances and indignation during this period of time, and they talked endlessly for a while. One eagerly raced the other.
“………… I was also born in the Western Army, and the imperial court has seen the suspicion of the Western Army over the years. I have never seen such a return to the "gate" of the capital to enter the guard, but let the Huanqing Army, now we have to call the Yongning Army to walk in our heads. Look at the faces of those who "operate" and dedicate themselves to the deeds, if they were not capable of showing their skills, we would have been able to rob the Yongning Army at all. That's not all, the official family rewarded us, and after we were stationed in the Jinshuiqiao camp, let's see who has taken care of us? Sanya should be our boss, and no one has come to ask a word until now. In the past few months, the food and salary were received by the two generals who broke their "legs", and this month, I didn't know where to get it, and I didn't know how to enter Wei Bianliang for a few months, and I was transferred to Zhenhe East Road. Even if they called for animals, there was no such thing. How can people be at peace? ”
“………… It's just a matter of going out of the town to Hedong, anyway, this Bianliang is depressed. But we have to give us all kinds of assets and equipment, so that we can open rewards for the country's defense of the border, and the ordnance and equipment have not been replenished, and what is the situation on Hedong Road is all a smear. "Handed over" to us so heavy that the walls of the abandoned fortress must be repaired. Where do we look for these "spending" fees? Something went wrong, but it was still us. Who are we going to talk to? ”
“………… It is really not easy for us to operate this martial force and win it, and it is easy to land such a strong army in the hands of Xianmo. The princes of the DPRK and China can count in line. How many military horses can the Great Song Dynasty pull out to fight in the field now? Throw away the unfamiliar Chaohedong Road like this, and extort us again in terms of military resources and salaries. Even if we are full of service, we can only watch the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army gradually weaken. When the time comes, there will be no us, and then we will count on the Western Army to come to Bianliang to rescue us. You must know that the Western Army has also been tossed by the DPRK and China, and I don't know if it is willing to fight to the death like our Shenwu Victorious Army."
"It was really unfair in the court, Wang Yu led the Yongning army to open the town of Hebei, and immediately added the title of pacification envoy. Several transit envoys on Zhulu in Hebei had to run for the Yongning Army. When it was our turn, the two prisoners were dismissed. The above also specially arranged Wu Longtu to appease this mother-in-law, who doesn't know that Wu Longtu almost attacked us? If it weren't for the proper handling of the situation, we would not know where we live under his hands, what we want, it would be delusional. Guarding the border for the country, guarding the "legs" of the mother's ancestors' "milk" and "milk"
"The defeated army is rising. We are Pingyan heroes, but we are so suspicious. The imperial court is not a day or two for military ministers, but this time, it is inevitably too much."
"It's better to fight in Yandi, although from beginning to end, it's basically our army fighting hard. But Xianmo led the army, and it was indescribably happy. According to my meaning, we just don't leave, and there will be trouble. Xian Mo led the Hedong Road to appease the envoys, and we went out of the town to guard the border, if not, what to open the town of Hedong, it is better to go to rest"
"Straight lady thief, we can't swallow our anger like this. The Western Army's war against Yan can not contribute to the work, we are delayed in this Bianliang, look at these "door" forbidden army a group of waste, dare to drive us out? ”
"Xianmo, let's ask the court for grievances, let Xianmo lead us out of the town and Hedong, otherwise who cares about him?"
The general was "excited", and there was something good in his mouth. Seeing that the generals were not talking, Han Shizhong was silent on the side. Yue Fei could only scold: "%Boiling Literature Network%These nonsense, you can't do it?" ”
He was also slightly sad in his heart, for Yue Fei, the imperial court system was a matter of course. It is also natural to serve the imperial court and resist insults. But this thing that he had always wanted to do was now so unbearable. The actions of the imperial court, the fear and restriction of the Shenwu Changsheng army, could not be more obvious. No matter how loyal Yue Fei was to the imperial court, he couldn't bear to watch such a strong army sink. But now he acted, he always felt that something was wrong. In the middle, this young general, who was known as invincible on the battlefield, was tortured unspeakably.
He glanced at Xiao Yan who was standing next to him with a calm face, and secretly gritted his teeth. What Xiao Yan wants to do is also to protect this strong army that has made meritorious contributions to Yan. Xiao Yan has never disappointed Yue Fei in such a big matter. As for the means, now is the critical moment for the survival of the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army, so let's ignore it for now............ As long as this strong army is there, on the battlefield against foreign enemies in the future, he Yue Fei will always have this "life", which can show that his fierce loyalty is only the first army at the moment, and Xiao Xianmo will not let him Yue Fei down in the end
Yue Fei gritted his teeth, and then added: "Since Xiao Xianmo is here, he will protect the Shenwu Changsheng Army with the support of Xiao Xianmo's court, and we will rest assured that we will go out of the town to the east of the river." When the time comes, let the princes of the court and the central government see the hearts of our soldiers who are always victorious."
After Yue Fei scolded, all the generals finally shut up, and their eyes all turned to Xiao Yan. It's full of earnestness. At this time, Xiao Yan couldn't burst out anymore. He slowly took a step forward and said with a smile: "With Lao Tzu here, are you still afraid that the sky will fall?" When Yandi was in the middle of the day, there was Tong Xuanshuai above, and the commander of the army behind him was Liu Yanqing. The enemies faced were Xiao Gan, famous generals such as Yelu Dashi, and "female" real tartars who came to join in the fun. Not to mention Lao Tzu's heart, as well as Zhao Liangsi and Guo 'pharmacist' and others who made 'chaos', what was the result? Xiao **, Yelu Dashi died, "female" Zhenxiao Wang died, Zhao Liangsi died, Guo "Yao" Shi died and Tong Guan went to the throne, together with Wang Huang, the prime minister of the current dynasty, followed the downfall of Shenwu Changshengjun and Lao Tzu, isn't he still standing here steadily? The current situation, can you still be sad when you are in Yandi? After squatting in Bianliang for several months, your bones have been squatted soft? If you cry like this, you just know how to complain, Lao Tzu will turn around and leave to let you bastards sit on wax here."
Xiao Yan scolded with a headache like this, and the generals hadn't understood it for a long time. Now in Xiao Yan's hairdryer-like roar, everyone really feels that as long as he is there, there is nothing to worry about in this seemingly insoluble situation in front of him. A few thick-skinned generals were still "touching" their heads, hehe, smirking. A self-made instrument that has lost his face.
Xiao Yan beckoned, and several mink hats immediately sent a chair. Xiao Yan sat down with a golden knife. The hair dryer is still on full fire: "............ The affairs of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China are supported by Lao Tzu, you don't have to think too much about the whole world, you don't want the Shenwu Winning Army, Lao Tzu always has to take care of you guys, the Chaozhong people have been in Bianliang for a long time, and they don't know the hardships of the border land. I don't know that the Tartars are eyeing our great rivers and mountains. But Lao Tzu knew that no matter what they thought, Lao Tzu would always protect this army of divine warriors and victories............ Pengju said well, to protect this strong army, in the future, on the battlefield, let them know that they can't leave us, only to know that this Great Song Dynasty, whether they are important, or we are important As long as I, Xiao someone, is in the middle of the court for a day, one day, I will let this Great Song Dynasty know how much we, the military ministers, these soldiers who went into battle to fight face to face with fierce enemies, have paid for more than 100 years. One day, the days when we martial ministers looked up to Wenchen will be gone forever, so that our military ministers can also raise their eyebrows in front of the princes of the court and the central government who sang outside these Donghua "gates", as long as I, Xiao, someone is here, you can always see this day."
These words immediately made the blood of the generals present boil. The princes of the Manchu Dynasty, and even the generals of the Western Army who had commanded them before. is not as good as this Xiao Xianmo. Only this Xiao Xianmo knows their hearts best, can muster their fighting spirit the most, and can make them feel at ease the most. This Xiao Xianmo is not just talking, but living and dying with them. He had a difficult journey all the way, but this Xiao Xianmo never retreated slightly. Now he is still standing firmly in the heart of this Bianliang
As for whether Xiao Yan's words are a bit excessive, how deviant it is for the ancestral system of the Great Song Dynasty. At this time, in the hearts of these military ministers, who cares about it?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Xiao Yan calmed down a little, and slowly glanced at the generals in the field. The depressed atmosphere when I came in with satisfaction was swept away. There is an extra layer of excitement in everyone. Even Yue Fei, who was still a little troubled, and Han Shizhong, who had become an old fritter, were no exception. Xiao Yan smiled in his heart, his influence on this Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army was still no one who could replace him
Enough words of encouragement have been spoken. Now it's time to get the real stuff. Always control the morale of the army, in addition to influence, how much benefit can be brought to this military horse, how much room for development, and even how much room for progress these generals can have. These tangible things are also essential.
In the past, Xiao Yan was in Yandi, and the first way to raise this army and horses was to deceive some from Tong Guan, and then it was captured by the contributions of the heroes of Yandi, plus the support of the old breeds. It can barely be regarded as maintaining the huge daily consumption of this already quite large military horse. I often feel overstretched. But now, he has horses in Danzhou, Dongchuan Wa to gather grain, runs a ball market in Bianliang, and is still promoting a money game that is akin to a Ponzi scheme. The resources in hand are surprisingly abundant for a while. Although the income of the imperial court is large, it must be used in a scattered manner. In addition, the old foundation is almost all tossed clean, maybe the resources in his hands are not so concentrated at this moment, so strong, even if these words are a bit exaggerated, but it is really more than enough for him to support the survival and expansion of the Shenwu Victorious Army in the past few years
At that moment, Xiao Yan said lightly: "Liangchen, Pengju, if the Shenwu Changsheng Army goes to the edge of the Hedong Road to station, it will cost a lot." Can you forget it? ”
Han Shizhong looked at Yue Fei without shame, all of them were his heads and tails. Han Shizhong is also a bit like Xiao Yan in the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army, more like a "spirit" god leader who does not "operate" small affairs. Although he has many shortcomings, he has one thing that is rare and he can get along with everyone happily. The Shenwu Changsheng Army is the old department of the Western Army and the old department of the Yandi Changsheng Army, plus the children of Yandi Haoqiang. Han Shizhong and each of these departments can pull very well, and once there is a gap, they can also calm the scene between laughter and scolding. It can be said to be the glue of the entire Shenwu Victorious Army. As far as Yue Fei is concerned, he "operates" more detailed affairs in the army, and the military law is strictly restricted, so that the Shenwu Changsheng Army will not become arrogant under Han Shizhong's grin. The cooperation of the two can be regarded as complementing each other.
And Yue Fei actually has some talent in financial planning. This person was born to run an army. In real history, after Gaozong crossed to the south, the Yue family army established by Yue Fei also did well in management. It was claimed that the Fifth Army was the richest at that time. Later, it was more able to support the Yuejia Army's hundreds of thousands of field troops to do long-term offensive operations. According to Yue Fei's background, these above talents can only be said to be given by God. Xiao Yan just crossed over and got the service of their brothers, which is indeed good luck.
Since he was going to leave Hedong, Yue Fei had already found a lot of soldiers in Hedong's Shenwu Changsheng Military Defense Area to take a closer look, and even found a lot of information on the current situation of the border wall of the Hedong fort from the almost deserted Privy Council. The people of the DPRK and China did not ask for anything from the Shenwu Changsheng Army, but the things on these documents were arbitrary. Can you see that if you look at it, you will be able to see that the goods and military funds are coming?
At that moment, Xiao Yan moved to ask, Yue Fei knew that the most important thing for the whole army was coming, and he immediately stacked up the "spirit" spirit, and reported it one by one, which could be regarded as a "handover" to so many generals of the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army.
“………… Our Shenwu Changsheng Army was stationed on the edge of the Hedong Road, and the defense line was connected to the Lan Army in the west and Dingzhou on the West Hebei Road in the north. It is winding and twisting, and it is more than 900 miles long. There are cave valley villages, thin waist villages, Louban villages, Yunnei villages, Yangwu villages, Tuxuan villages, Yan'men villages, Xicheng villages, Hugu villages, Ruyue villages, Dashi villages, Yixingzhi villages, Magu villages, bottle-shaped villages, North villages, military city villages............ Wait for the rush to the army village Fan twenty-seven. Among them, Yunnei Village, Yan'men Village, Ruyue Village, Bottle-shaped Village, and Military City Village are particularly important. Heavy troops must be left to guard it every day. After the border military village, when the Ninghua army, Daizhou, and Xingtang are supported, they can be supported at any time to respond to the border military village. Except for a few, almost all of these military villages are deserted, with no reserves and no strong soldiers outside. Most of them need to be remediated and restored. The construction capital of Xiaozhai is 20,000 yuan, and the construction capital of Dazhai is 100,000 yuan. That is, 940,000 yuan of assets. Ninghua Army, Daizhou, and Xingtang have three large battalions, and each camp is not 200,000 guan. The minimum defense system of this restoration of the border fortress alone is almost 1.5 million guan, and the part of the local requisition and distribution of the people's husbands in Daizhou and Ninghua Army is also limited, and it is really a big mansion, but I am afraid that even the upper echelons of the requisition and distribution of the people's husbands will not cooperate with the Shenwu Victorious Army............"
Speaking of which, all the generals here have faces like dirt. I didn't expect that the place on the edge of Hedong Road was already so unbearable. Restoring the minimum defensive functions of some important border villages alone requires a lot of investment. You must know that building a border defense system has always been the most "expensive" money. Yue Fei still only chose the most important ones, and omitted many projects that were not the most urgently needed. That's why I came up with such a figure.
But in the minds of the generals, Xiao Yan made a fortune in Yanjing, and he also made some money when he came back to run the ball market - he couldn't get a big deal about this, and it is said that most of the people who belonged to him should go to the official family. If you want to support such a huge project to rebuild the Hedong defense line, you can't sell it for so much money even if Xiao Yan is chopped up.
Yue Fei glanced at Xiao Yan and couldn't help but say, "............ If it really doesn't work, the Ninghua Army, Daizhou, and Xingtang three cantonment camps are indispensable. The border military village can only be supported by regularly sending rangers and sentinels. However, without the support of the garrison battalion, the soldiers could not fight with peace of mind, and they could not say anything. These three cantonment camps can't be saved............"
Xiao Yan was expressionless, just snorted lightly, waved his hand and said, "You continue to talk down............ The military village was established. The camp is ready. But it's not just soldiers. Everywhere there must be food stockpiles, garrison equipment, and military resources must be replenished. And such a stall spreads. There are more than 10,000 soldiers in the Shenwu Changsheng Army, and there are 5,000 horses and 6,000 steps, which is not enough to distribute. I also have to recruit strong and strong to expand, how to expand, how much to expand, how much food to support, all count them all to me."
Yue Fei nodded yes, and continued to face down. When Xiao Yan didn't come, they really looked forward to Xiao Yan stretching out his hand and winning the army. Now he was afraid that the number was too big, so he simply scared Xiao Yan away. As he spoke, he felt quite tormented in his heart.
“………… First of all, according to the five most important military villages, plus three cantonment camps. The five most important military villages, the garrison must be commanded by two or three. Mainly on foot, mixed with a small amount of passing and riding. Wuzhai needs 5,000 infantry troops. The grain is counted for a year, and the grain and rice are three stones a year, and the horses and mules are doubled. If it is not 20,000 stones, it is not enough to be satisfied. Of the three camps, Daizhou was the most important, and the Ninghua army was the second in Tang. There must be 10,000 infantry troops and 10,000 horse troops. It is enough to stabilize the rear and support the edge. One year of grain storage is 150,000 stone square meters to use. Hedong produces grain, and Zhending has a lot of fertile land. It's not too difficult to lose to the edge. This is the material for storing grain and transporting grain. If it's not a million, it's not enough.
………… In addition to the storage of grain, military equipment has been accumulated. In the east of the river, there is coal, iron, and there is also an ordnance prison. The imperial court always has to allocate a part, and the rest is insufficient, so it can only be purchased. The accumulation is sufficient, and it can be used, but I am afraid that I have to prepare millions of ............
The Shenwu Victorious Army now has 6,000 infantry troops and 5,000 horse troops. To support the eastern edge of the river, it is necessary to expand the infantry army by nearly 10,000 and the horse army by 5,000. can barely talk about stability. At this point, Liangchen and Fei still have self-confidence, and training a soldier should be effective in receiving a soldier. It is not more than 600,000 forbidden troops in the "gate", but there are actually very few people who can go into battle. With 25,000 strong troops in hand, Hedong can be called coarse. The required sergeant is recruited locally in Hedong and a strong one, and Yandi can recruit one. The horses that are lacking can be purchased in the states of Yunnei and Yandi. This expands the capital of the army and the purchase of horses. It's about 1.5 million again.
As mentioned above, the Shenwu Changsheng Army opened the town of Hedong, and all kinds of piles and piles required nearly five million yuan in assets. In the imperial court, you can always count on a little ............"
Speaking of which, Yue Fei's tone was a little like Xianglin's sister-in-law, always saying that the imperial court might solve some of it. The 1st Army opened the edge of the town and restored the defense system. The amount of money needed is an astronomical amount. Yue Fei has already calculated extremely "finely" and is extremely frugal. No matter how little Shenwu Changsheng Army is, it will not be able to play the role of Ping Fan Hedong at all. Not to mention the development and growth, continue to maintain the "nature" of a strong army. But this number is too desperate to say. They also know in their hearts that even if it is the center of the imperial court now, in the future, Hedong Road will appease the envoy to give a little symbolizing "sex", and even a fraction may not be able to make up a fraction. The rest has to be counted on Xiao Yan, but where can Xiao Yan come up with so much money?
The generals were originally excited, but when they heard such a carefully calculated figure, everyone was also depressed. It seems that the desperate situation of the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army, even if Xiao Xianmo is willing to make a move, may not be able to help. Everyone went to Hedong, and "mixing" for one day was just one day. When you can't hold on, everyone is looking for a way out. The imperial court was also really ruthless, and threw the Shenwu Changsheng Army to the eastern edge of the river facing the "female" true Tartar soldiers, but it was unwilling to give anything to the Shenwu Changsheng Army. Sit and watch them consume and weaken. Shenwu often wins the army and dies in Pingyan, where is I sorry for this court
Unexpectedly, Yue Fei said such a huge number, Xiao Yan still refused to give up, and added coldly: "............ I'm afraid it's not all............ The Shenwu Victorious Army now has more than 10,000 soldiers. The food and wages of these people and horses, no matter how good the court is, will have to give it. But there are some discounts, which come more slowly. It's also expected. After passing through Hedong Road to appease Wu Min, I am not optimistic anyway............ Although the Shenwu Changsheng army is quasi-expanding its military strength, it will take the edge of the town. But it is very difficult for this expanded number of people to come out with the imperial court............ The 25,000 troops have to subsidize their own salaries a year, which is almost 6.7 million yuan. Why doesn't this count? ”
I don't know which general, so I whispered in a dejected voice: "Even if it's forgotten, what's the use?" It's all a finished word anyway. We scattered at home on Hedong Road, so that this court can rest assured that there is a Pingyan war, even if we fight for Zhao Guan's family."
