Chapter 204: The Prototype of the Liangshan Army
Yunju is a big state, and neither the total number of household registrations nor the number of counties under its jurisdiction can be compared to Jeju. What's more, according to the original trajectory, if nothing else, in about three or four years, Yunzhou will be upgraded to Dongping Mansion and become another prefecture city in Jingxi Road.
In such a relatively important city, there will naturally be no shortage of garrisons. According to the news that Zhu Gui heard before, there were originally three infantry commanders (battalions) under the jurisdiction of the palace division and eight commanders under the infantry division in this Yunzhou city, and there was no horse army. Of course, this is all information before I go to Jinghu.
"Then did Zhang Qing come alone, or did he bring the team?" Wang Lun looked at Wen Huanzhang and asked.
"Zhang Qing, Gong Wang, and Ding Desun came in batches, and when each of them came, they all brought a horse army under their command, and since these three people took office, there has been no sign of troop transfer inside and outside the city!" Wen Huanzhang replied.
"In this way, the distribution of troops in the three states around my Shuibo is: 8 battalions of the Ma Army and 12 battalions of the Infantry Army under the jurisdiction of Xiqingfu, 3 battalions of the Ma Army and 11 battalions of the Infantry Army under the jurisdiction of Yunzhou, and the second battalion of the Ma Army and 6 battalions of the Infantry Army in Jeju?" Zhu Wu looked at Wen Huanzhang and asked.
Wen Huanzhang nodded, and then added: "Because of the Tota Heavenly King Chao Gai, Jeju had two commanders called Xiao Qilian last time, and now there are more than 500 people in the cottage to be punished for conscription, and there are at least two battalions of water in his six-battalion infantry army!" ”
Ruan Xiaoqi laughed when he heard this, obviously very proud of this past, and only listened to him: "Why don't I be the groom a few more times, and ask these guys to let go of their bellies and eat a few more sweat pills?" ”
"Clever things, but not again and again! I also heard that Uncle Zhang was a sage, and now that he is restrained, the forbidden army in the city does not say anything else, just in terms of military discipline, I am afraid that it will be much better than before! Wang Lun opened his mouth and smiled.
Seeing that Wang Lun was in a good mood, he didn't seem to be affected by the current complicated situation in the slightest. Ruan Xiaoqi asked with a smile: "Brother, the imperial court has a lot of military horses on all sides of my water, but why aren't you worried?" ”
Wang Lunwan smiled, looked at the eight-hundred-mile giant and sighed lightly: "With my Ruan's three heroes here, what am I worried about?" This made everyone on board laugh. But seeing Ruan Xiaoqi's face full of red light, he felt arrogant and couldn't vent his place, and he shook the oar in his hand faster.
Seeing Wang Lun's words to the point, Xiao Jiasui nodded secretly and said, "Brother is very right!" Don't look at the imperial court to transfer troops here and send generals there. The momentum is not small, but in the end, there is no standing naval army in the two states of Ji and Yun, which are facing the big lake, which can be glimpsed! Along the way, I heard Wang Lun talk about the current situation of the cottage, Xiao Jiasui only felt that if the imperial court did not have tens of thousands of sailors, he would not even think about the daydream of landing on the island.
Zhu Wu nodded and agreed: "Xiao Daguan is right! The combined forty battalions of men and horses in these two states and one capital are indeed a little scary to look at, but what kind of calculations are they in their stomachs. It still needs to be carefully scrutinized! It is said that this Uncle Zhang is the most virtuous official, and he is a capable minister with both civil and military skills, if the court is really aimed at me Liangshan, I will ask him to go to Xiqing Mansion to be a prefect. I'm afraid it's not the best choice? But now? You see that he is only the new governor of Jeju, not to mention that he has little to use, and the forbidden army that can be called is also the weakest among the three states! There are eight battalions of men and horses, and I don't know if they are enough to defend the city. Where is there any room for anything else? If you want me to say, even if the imperial court puts him in Yunju, it will be a greater threat to my Yangsan than in Jeju! ”
Seeing that everyone was looking at him with a smile on their faces, Zhu Wu also smiled. Then he continued: "I don't know who Cheng Wanli is, but I heard from Lin Jiaotou that Wang Yu is a person with real materials!" Now he has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command, but people have to guard against it, but the attack on Qingfu does not set up a border with my Liangshan, if he has action, he will definitely have to borrow the road to other realms! When it comes to crossing the border, there will be many twists and turns, so the movement of Yunzhou, the new governor, is worthy of our attention! ”
After Zhu Wu finished speaking, Wang Lun and Wen Huanzhang glanced at each other, their faces were full of relief, Wen Huanzhang coughed, and said with a smile: "Someone has already inquired, I believe that as soon as this person holds the official seal, the cottage will be able to get the news!" ”
"Respond to all changes with the same!" Wang Lun chuckled, and he was very much in favor of the inference Zhu Wu had just made. As far as the general trend is concerned, the imperial court military horses that conquered Liangshan in the original trajectory can almost all be said to have been caused by private troubles.
For example, Song Jiang broke Gao Tang Prefecture and killed Gao Yu's uncle and brother Gao Lian, so that Hu Yanzhuo, a double whip, came to take revenge with 3,000 heavy cavalry. In the future, Guan Sheng's expedition to Liangshan was also caused by Song Jiangbing's arrival in the Daimyo's mansion, which threatened the safety of Cai Jing's daughter and son-in-law's family.
Since he knew that the imperial court had sent troops to conquer Liangshan so many times, but none of them had done it out of public interest, Wang Lun was not as worried as others at the moment. This situation is actually the characteristic of a typical traitor who controls the government: you can wantonly corrupt the Zhao family, but you must not provoke him.
Wang Lun looked at the waterfowl that were chirping and flying not far away, and sighed in his heart, secretly saying that the buttocks of these tigers would have to be touched sooner or later, but before touching, they had to practice this tiger-fighting body first.
Thinking of this, Wang Lun lowered his head and took out a booklet from his body and handed it to Wen Huanzhang, Wen Huanzhang reached out and took it, and when he opened it, he suddenly looked cautious, and after a long time, he took his eyes off the paper and said, "This is ......"
Wang Lun sighed and said, "General, the heart of a soldier is also!" If you don't know the soldiers, how can you fight? After this thousand-mile march, Wang Lun had a lot of insights on the road. He felt that he was now at a turning point, if he was still worried about his life safety when he just crossed over, then the primary problem at this time has changed to the problem of how Liang Shanbo can develop better in his hands.
In the past, because the mind was mostly on recruiting heroes, the early stage of the cottage was copied from the previous more extensive management methods, and now the cottage has been a stable world's first village of the frame, some of the cottage grass creation of the old method can no longer be applied. After returning to the mountain this time, Wang Lun was ready to properly discuss with the three military advisors in the following period of time, and change the old rules and bad habits that were no longer applicable.
The booklet that Wang Lun handed to Wen Huanzhang can be said to be the preliminary consideration for laying the prototype of the future Liangshan team.
Wen Huanzhang pondered for a long time, looked at Xiao Jiasui and Zhu Wu, who had just joined, and immediately patted his forehead, and introduced to them: "Before my brother went to Jinghu, my cottage originally had more than 3,800 military horses, and during this time, there were people and horses from Shaohua Mountain, Mangdang Mountain, Huangmen Mountain, and Withered Tree Mountain, and at the same time brought about 1,300 good horses. After deducting the losses on the recent march, the cottage is now worth more than six thousand military horses! ”
Xiao Jiasui and Zhu Wu listened carefully, and when Wen Huanzhang finished speaking, they all nodded in greeting, Wen Huanzhang smiled, and said to Wang Lun: "My brother is going to choose its elite according to the establishment of our forbidden army, and organize and train five battalions of horse army, and my younger brother agrees very much!" It's just that this master ...... the candidate" Wen Huanzhang said later, staring at the name of a person on the paper in his hand, his heart hesitated, and he couldn't help but read silently: "Jing Mu Qian......?" ”
Wang Lunwan smiled, saw that Xiao Jiasui and Zhu Wu also looked at it together, and said loudly: "Although Brother Hao's reputation is not as good as the previous heroes, it is just a ......" Speaking of this, Wang Lun paused, and immediately said in an affirmative tone: "In the future, he will use his achievements to prove my choice today!" ”
Xiao Jiasui and Zhu Wu have never seen Hao Siwen, and Wen Huanzhang has not dealt with him a few times, so it is not surprising that he does not know his weight. But for this man with the destiny of heaven, giving him this opportunity, in a sense, didn't he give himself a chance?
Wen Huanzhang was stunned when he saw this, and immediately nodded silently.
Wang Lun's gaze has always been accurate, and he has a deep understanding of this, since Wang Lun put Jing Muxuan Hao Siwen and Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming, Golden Gunner Xu Ning, Blue-faced Beast Yang Zhi, and the veteran Wu Tang Bin together, as the main general candidate for the opening of the camp of the Liangshan Horse Army, there must be a reason for him. As a military advisor, he had the obligation to remind him, but after the owner of the village had already expressed that the matter was deliberate, Wen Huanzhang did not speak again.
At this time, he just looked at the name of another person on the booklet and the notes that followed it and smiled: Leopard Head Lin Chong. The battalion was full of 500 men, with horses in a one-to-one ratio, and was subordinate to the garrison.
"Brother Hao is not in the cottage now, and he is afraid that he will suffer some losses when choosing soldiers and horses, so he also asks Xiao Daguan to help watch over him in two days!" Wang Lun glanced at Wen Huanzhang and said to Xiao Jiasui with a smile.
"As soon as my brother said this, I wanted to meet this hero more and more!" Xiao Jiasui smiled and happily accepted the order.
"We'll see!" Wang Lun smiled slightly, and said in a bright tone.
Now there are many leaders of the horse army on the mountain, but Wang Lun only chose five people to open a camp and lead the troops, which is always due to the principle of preferring shortage to abundance, except for Hao Siwen, these five people have incomparable advantages on the surface:
Xu Ning is the founding veteran of the cottage horse army.
Yang Zhi is the third generation of generals, and he himself served as a commander under Liang Zhongshu, in addition to the stain of not caring for the soldiers, his own business is still very proficient.
Qin Mingnai is one of the leaders of the cottage who has held the highest position in the imperial court, although his temper is a little shorter, but fortunately, there is another person who can listen to him, so he asked Huang Xin to be a deputy general with him, which can just assist him.
Tang Bin was also born as a Pudong officer, and he was a leader in the cottage with his martial arts and strategy.
With these five people leading the troops, it is enough to support a piece of the sky of the copycat horse army. What's more, as a person who is familiar with the general trend, Wang Lun naturally knows that there will be many excellent cavalry generals who have something to do with Liangshan in the future, and he can choose to expand the army, because he is not in a hurry at this time, and only by doing his own things well first, can he have the qualifications to look forward to the future.
