Elite soldiers are trained, strong armies are fought, and honor guards are selected. Therefore, just blindly hard training and careful selection will not be able to build a strong army. In many moments, only continuous killing, continuous bloodshed, and continuous elimination can finally give birth to a strong army.

It's like, later generations resisted US aggression and aided Korea. The U.S. military is well-trained and elite soldiers; The Volunteer Army, on the other hand, is a strong army that has fought many bloody battles. Elite soldiers against strong armies, often defeated. As a result, on the battlefield the Volunteer Army repeatedly defeated the American army.

In Zhao Pu's view, the eight-character army is an elite army, while the Jin army is a strong army.

Although he defeated the Jin army twice and annihilated tens of thousands of Jin troops, he was all surprised by waiting for work with ease and fighting more with less. Once the same number of Bazi Army confronts the same number of Jin Army, it is very dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will be defeated. Pure military training cannot forge a strong army, and it still needs to see blood and fight.

If the Bazi Army is left in Yangzhou and comfortable for a winter, it will definitely be wasted.

This patrol in the Xiangfan area is not only to supervise disaster relief, but also to better suppress bandits.

The war led to famine, and the snow disaster caused the displacement of people. Problems such as rampant corrupt officials and land annexation have made Hunan and Hubei extremely unstable, and small groups of peasants have revolted continuously. If left unchecked, they may merge and form a large-scale peasant uprising.

Zhao Pu didn't want to, he was desperate with the Jin army in front, but there was a fire in the rear. There is no stable rear, and it is almost a pipe dream to want the Northern Expedition. This time it is to suppress bandits, and at the same time completely stifle all kinds of unstable factors and create an unbreakable rear.

At this time, it is necessary to conduct patrols and reduce corruption: on the one hand, we should train troops and strengthen actual combat. If the situation is suitable, it is best to change the law.

In short, it's not about playing, it's about changing someone's life.

…………

"There are tens of thousands of mansions in Ande, and the poor people in the world are happy!"

A young official chanted, looking a little lonely, and behind him was a huge thatched hut, which was simply built with thatch, and nailed a few wooden planks, which could not stop the wind and snow at all. On the top of the house, there are four big characters, "Fangzhou Mansion Ya". Speaking of which, he is also the governor of Fangzhou.

It's just that the Jin army went south, and Fangzhou, which did not have a trace of armament, was like a beautiful woman with a red fruit, so she could only be ravaged.

As a result, most of the people in the city fled, some were killed by the Jin army, some were taken captive by the Jin army, and less than one-tenth survived. Fangzhou was originally in the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty and was rarely affected by the war, and the city wall had not been repaired for many years. At this time, most of the city walls were left over from the five dynasties a hundred years ago, and they could withstand the attack of the Jin army.

At this time, there was a scorched earth inside and outside Fangzhou, most of the houses had been burned down, and only a few houses still existed.

After the Jin army retreated, the remnants of the people had just returned to Fangzhou, and it was a heavy snowfall, so they hurriedly built thatched huts to prepare for the cold, but the time was in a hurry, and it was too late to build, so they could only let the elderly, children, and women live first. And the young and strong can only shelter from the cold under some shelter.

"General, it's not good, there is Cao Kou Zhang Mazi, who sent troops to attack!" At this time, a servant hurriedly came, looking a little flustered.

The young official couldn't help but tremble, and he ran and jogged towards the city wall, saying that it was the city wall, but in fact it was just a small dirt slope. After the war, most of the city walls in Fangzhou have collapsed, and there are only simple earthen walls or fence maintenance, and it is impossible to block the Jin army, just to block those rogues and grass thieves.

I have to say that the grass thieves and rogues of the Great Song Dynasty are very awesome, only a few dozen or so people, or about a hundred, dare to attack the state city. In fact, many of them have succeeded. And after the capture of the state city, it is often hung with the slogan of righteousness and courage to resist gold. As for going there to fight against Jin, where the Jin army is, they don't know?

I just know that it is very fashionable to resist gold, and the righteous people who resist gold are rewarded by the imperial court.

And Zhang Mazi is one of them.

Zhang Mazi used to be the small leader of Fangzhou's Xiang Army, but the Jin Army called, and all the Fang Army in Fangzhou were scattered, some were killed by the Jin Army, and some escaped with their lives. But Zhang Mazi is a wonderful, at the moment when most of the Xiang army in Fangzhou was defeated and killed, the Xiang army led by him not only escaped with his life, but also fought with the small army of the Jin army, killing fifty Jin troops in one fell swoop.

As the saying goes, beheading is meritorious, and for the lower-level soldiers, the most appropriate way to calculate the merit is the head of the Jin Army.

In different regions, the price of the head of the Jin Army is also different, and in Fangzhou, a head of the Jin Army is about twenty yuan, and fifty the head of the Jin Army, that is, one thousand guan. If it is in the peaceful years, a thousand yuan, the Fangzhou government can easily take it out, but now that Fangzhou has become a ruin, it is difficult to take out a thousand yuan.

Thus, a dispute arises.

In the case of food and salary, the box army is the local army; In the absence of food, the Xiang army is a bandit. As the so-called soldiers and bandits are a family, soldiers are bandits, bandits are soldiers, and the difference between soldiers and bandits is only that the court does not pay salaries.

"Lord Zhizhou, the food is owed for half a year, and we will admit it, but the government treasury has no money. But brothers, desperately kill the Jin Army, sell the Jin Army's head to earn money, this money can't be greedy for ink, this is the brothers' desperate money! Zhang Mazi shouted, his expression was a little hideous, "Lord Zhizhou, you can't talk and don't count!" ”

Zhang Zhizhou's face was a little gloomy, a Jin Army's first level was twenty yuan, which was really not too expensive in Fangzhou.

A Jin army with a head of 20 guan, and 200,000 jin troops is only 400,000 guan, and then the Jin army will be completely wiped out -- of course, fighting a war is not an arithmetic problem. But even so, arithmetic problems are still very popular in the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty is not bad for money.

In Bianliang, Hedong, Shaanxi and other places, the head of a Jin army has reached a hundred yuan.

It is very cost-effective to buy the head of the Jin Army with money.

"Bold Zhang Mazi, the treasury has already been looted by the Jin army, there is no money to ask for money, and when the treasury is sufficient in the coming year, it will naturally give you money, and you are indispensable!" Zhang Zhizhou shouted. In the Great Song Dynasty, the civil officials were high, and the military attachés were low, if it was in ordinary years, a small leader of the Xiang Army, in front of him, only nodded and bowed, where would be so arrogant, but the Jin Army came, the world was in chaos, and these Qiu Ba were also arrogant.

"This IOU, the IOU is a fart!" Zhang Mazi's face was a little pale, and he took out an IOU and said, "Lord Zhizhou, if you don't see the money, Lao Tzu won't leave, Lao Tzu will attack Fangzhou City today!" ”

"Bold, do you want to rebel?" Zhang Zhizhou was furious.

"What about rebellion, if you don't pay back your debts, Lao Tzu will rebel!" Zhang Mazi was also angry, and his eyes turned blood-red.

It's just that the little brothers around me are a little nervous, a little scared, and some don't want to fight.

Zhang Zhizhou has more than 300 scattered soldiers, but these soldiers are wearing tatters, neither knives and guns, nor bows and crossbows, just simple hoes, rakes in the hand, that is, weapons, lucky to hold the blade, or no sharp spear, the strength is the five scum of war.

It's okay to maintain some order, but when it comes to fighting, it's definitely a rush to disperse.

Zhang Mazi's dozens of soldiers were neatly armored, spears were sharp, and swords were bright, but attacking Fangzhou City was a rebellion. And rebelling against this guy is not so fun. Although it is said, "If you want to become an official, you will be recruited to kill people and set fires; If you want to get rich, you are in a hurry to sell wine vinegar. "But one operation is not good, and it is the head moving.

Not every thief is qualified to Zhao'an!

"Big brother, extinguish the fire, don't be angry, Fang Zhizhou has no money, it's better to take the grain as a mortgage!" At this time, a younger brother beside Zhang Mazi made a plan.

Zhang Mazi nodded, and said very cooperatively: "Zhang Zhizhou, if you don't want money, then I want food, once the money is grain, a thousand quintals of food, if you give everything, it's easy to say, if you don't give it, Lao Tzu will wash Fangzhou City with blood!" ”

No matter how good the money is, it can't satisfy hunger. This time the asking for money is fake, but the asking for food is real.

"No, this is the court's relief food, I can't give it to you!" Zhang Zhizhou was furious and shouted angrily. Food is equal to life, the food in the entire Fangzhou at the moment is only 10,000 quintals, even if it is not enough to drink gruel every day, if it is given to Zhang Mazi, the people don't know how much they will starve to death.

"If you don't give money or food, I'll rob your mother!" Zhang Mazi's eyes were blood-red, and he shouted murderously.
