Chapter 415: Urgent Information
"Master, brothers, this is just a cooperation training, and after the order is prohibited, we will start to enter the actual combat training. Let the warriors wear thicker clothes, put on helmets, hoods, wrap bamboo with hair, and wrap the spear heads with cloth......"
The command team of the first pro-guard battalion to be trained on the battlefield entered the straw crowd. On the high platform of the school field, Chao Gai summoned a group of infantry commanders, pointed to the more and more skilled teams, and explained the essence of the mandarin duck array.
Flower monk Lu Zhishen, Sai Zhijie Bian Shen, Scar Tiger Ma Jin, Color-eating Tiger Teng Ji and other generals, everyone is attentive and staring at the changes on the battlefield.
Some people's eyes lit up and they could only see the doorway inside, some people thought about it and felt very powerful, and some people seemed to understand it but couldn't say it clearly. In the same way, it is unanimously agreed that several weapons are hideous and murderous.
"Brother, this tactic looks very powerful, who are you dealing with?" Lu Zhishen saw the scarecrow fall like cutting wheat, and secretly said to himself.
As soon as the master took the lead, the others echoed: "Yes, the wolf branches are covered with thistles and blades, and they all seep people when they look at it, not to mention the poison!" ”
"Brother, you don't need to deal with the imperial army like this."
"That is, I led the sons of the headquarters and dared to fight twice as many enemies."
Chao Gai looked at the generals of the various armies who were excited and patted their chests, and shook his head with a smile: "It's really against people, but it's not against the imperial army." After you will know who to deal with, and after a thousand people are proficient, the whole army will be trained. In addition, don't underestimate the Great Song Dynasty, the Western Army is still very powerful. ”
"My brother is right." Lu Zhishen agreed with this very much, and his face gradually became solemn: "The 200,000 Western Army has experienced the baptism of war. However, our army has very little actual combat, and it cannot be transformed by training alone. It's okay to really go to the battlefield to deal with the local army, but if you run into the western army, I'm afraid it will ......"
The fat monk said to the end and didn't continue.
Even if you don't say it, everyone present understands. The Western Army and the Western Xia were at war for hundreds of years. Both actual combat experience and skills far surpass Chao Jiajun. No matter how miraculous the method of military training is, it cannot make up for this shortcoming.
Lu Zhishen touched his bald head: "Brother, it's not enough to raid and suppress bandits." It is necessary to go to the battlefield with real swords and real guns, and recruits will only grow when they see blood. ”
The red-faced tiger Yuan Lang wanted to send grain and grass to Baocalf Mountain, and he had a very right to speak: "Just like the 20,000 cavalry on the Hedong battlefield, they can already be called elite." ”
"Well, that's a good point, the cavalry teams of each army are mostly moving closer to the east of the river and waiting for an opportunity." Chao Gai touched his chin and quickly made a decision.
"In addition, I have a plan, as long as the Mandarin Duck Formation is popularized in the whole army, I will embark on the journey. By that time, there would be a baptism of war that would last for months or more. ”
Months or more?
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then their faces were full of excitement and eager to try. Lu Zhishen, a person who is thick on the outside and fine on the inside, was thoughtful and faintly guessed.
On the battlefield, the shouts of killing rose higher and higher, and the scarecrow was cut down in large areas. The army has been scattered everywhere, and with the command of the Lingqi, it quickly closed to encircle and suppress. Although there are many scarecrows, they are decreasing at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.
And the warriors in the back quickly stepped forward, and the scarecrow, which was not seriously damaged, was erected, and could not be used to take it away, and put a new scarecrow on it.
This kind of scarecrow was set up by tens of thousands of soldiers on Liangshan Mountain, and was used to train spear piercing or archery, and the number was very large enough for training.
"Shizhong, Guo Zi, the training here will be handed over to you, according to my meaning, you must strictly implement it. Don't be in a hurry, take your time......"
When Chao Gai was following Han Shizhong, Guo Sheng and other generals who came over, Zhi Duoxing Wu Yong and pharmacist Xiao Jiasui came together, obviously there was something. Seeing this, he explained that the generals participated in the training, and then walked to the two military divisions.
"Lord, Tian Hu has sent someone again." Wu smiled with a smile on his face.
Chao Gai knew at a glance that the other party was coming to send money, but he was a little puzzled: "Are they here to sell sea salt?" For more than a month, their dock has not been repaired? ”
"Nope." Wu Yong shook his head helplessly, and then counted the time: "It took time to pick a good place half a month ago, buy materials, and recruit craftsmen, and the wharf is built, and it is estimated that it will take February next year." ”
"Wait for them to do something. The daylilies were cold, and the fleet could only come to the wild a few more times. Chao Gai was dissatisfied with Tian Hu's efficiency. Seeing that Wu Yong had something to say, he took the initiative to understand the other party's intentions, and couldn't help frowning.
Tian Hu, the grass king, tasted the sweetness of selling illicit salt and made a lot of money. This time, the appetite was very big, not only in addition to 200,000 stone sea salt, but also secretly handed over orders for weapons and equipment, 10,000 sets of leather armor, bows and arrows.
In addition, it is necessary to purchase cattle and sheep, war horses, and the price is negotiable.
Chao Gai calculated that the transaction was as high as hundreds of thousands, and understood that Tian Hu had wantonly arrested Ding Lafu. also thought of the key to it: "This Fang Junshi regarded me Chao Gai as a corrupt official, grabbed it and didn't let go, and played that little trick." ”
"Don't do this business?" Wu asked tentatively.
"Do, why not? Don't let the money you send in vain. Chao Gai smiled all over his face, and then asked, "How about our leather armor, bows and arrows?" ”
"Hehe, well-stocked." Xiao Jiasui took over the conversation and explained in detail
Yangsan belongs to the internal heavy military factory. And Chaojiazhuang belongs to the light military industry. It can also be said that the former is internal, and the latter is sold externally.
Leather, horns, and tendons purchased from the north are suitable for transporting wood for bows and arrows. More than a thousand craftsmen were busy forging farm tools and producing weapons. Gibbon Hou Jian led the team to carefully sew new leather armor......
Due to the demographic dividend, the amount of leather armor produced per month is considerable. There are only more than a thousand bows and arrows, but they are redressed and purchased from all over the world, and ordinary military hardwood bows are piled up, just waiting to be shot.
After Chao Gai understood the number of weapons and equipment in the group leader's inventory, he took a decisive attitude: "Leather armor can be sold more, bows and arrows can be controlled a little, and those knives and guns forged by government workshops ask them if they want them?" Large quantities can be discounted. ”
At this time, where does the owner of Chao Zhuang have the momentum of the superior? He is full of red face, frequent decision-making, and a businessman's style, clearly like an arms dealer.
Peddle weapons and equipment!
In fact, this is also his original intention of making leather armor and hardwood bows, selling them to the surrounding wealthy families, Haoqiang, in order to be able to obtain huge profits and increase income, and several businesses and sell illicit salt, so as to maintain the Chao family army. It's just that the discovery of high-purity gold deposits on Jeju Island has made him more confident.
"If you don't need it in the future, you can sell it." Chao Gai did not hesitate.
After Wu Yong wrote it down, he asked again: "King Tian is not ambitious, what about the war horse?" ”。
"This ......" Chao Gai was a little hesitant, for the war horses, especially the war horses cultivated by Chao Jiazhuang, he did not plan to sell them to other people. However, thinking of the war in Hedong, after a moment of silence, there was a compromise solution.
"You talk to them first, determine the quantity and price, and then find the eunuch. Let's see if they can get some horses there and make a difference in the middle. ”
Wu Yong has been following Chao Gai for so long, and he has learned a lot, and he knows that these two dealers are called scalpers. Even if he didn't do it less, when he saw Chao Gai say these words easily, he always felt like he had a coppery smell.
"Lord, look at it, Mr. Li personally delivered the message."
Xiao Jiasui said as he took out a note from his cuff and handed it to Chao Gai.
Chaojiazhuang has several key focus objects, one is Tokyo Bianliang City, the second is the Northern Battlefield, and the third is Hedong Tianhu, Song Jiang, and Wang Qing. Whenever there is major news, it will be highlighted or sent back by the person in charge.
Chao Gai knew this, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took the flying pigeon handbook, and on the back Mr. Jin Jian, Li was indeed written by Li Zhu himself, and then spread it out, with a somewhat complicated expression on his face, shaking his head and sighing.
There is only one sentence on it, the Shaanzhou prison camp is quick to move and ask for instructions.
As in the original trajectory, Wang Qing, one of the four great cowards, was beaten for a month, his money was squeezed dry, and he had to face a life and death crisis.
"I'll reply." Chao Gai only said four words, and then put the note away. Didn't say much about it. Even the two military advisors didn't know about Wang Qing.
Those who know, only him and Mr. Jin Jian, Li Zhu.
Chao Gai and the two military advisors chatted about Zhao Tan's moves. I saw a fast horse rushing into the barracks, and immediately people shouted, "Brother, report urgently."
This is none other than the people around Zhu Gui in the dry land.
Chao Gai and the two military advisors stopped talking and hurriedly walked over. When the young man named Xiao Li saw the main master, he flew off his horse and handed over a flying pigeon book. The folded surface is marked with a bright red font for urgency.
"Brother, look at it, I just received an urgent report from Yanggu County."
"Yanggu County?" Chao Gai muttered, and then quickly took the paper and spread it out, his face changed, the flying pigeon biography was not long, and there was a line of words written on it.
Yanggu County, under the rule of Yunzhou, was attacked by strongmen, and his head suddenly returned and he was imprisoned.
Chao Gai read the information several times and handed it to the two military advisors. His face was ugly, and he said secretly Sure enough, he had heard that Wu Song passed by Jingyanggang to fight tigers, made the head of Yanggu County, and later went to Qinghe County to pick up Wuda.
I just don't know the specific situation!
Chao Gai did not take the initiative to contact this brother, not wanting to disturb the other party's life. just secretly instructed the restaurant over there to pay more attention, and specially sent the ghost Cao Zheng and his wife to sit in the town to avoid a single eventuality.
Unexpectedly, this kind of thing was born before the time of gift-giving.
The Wu Song brothers entered the cell again, and it is not known whether the initiator is Ximen Qingshang. But most of the other party saw Pan Jinlian and was fascinated.
The two military advisors read the flying pigeon biography, and their faces were a little solemn. They hadn't seen Wu Song, but they had heard Han Shizhong, Guo Sheng and others mention it. In addition, the name of Wu Song, the hero of Jingyanggang's fight against tigers, spread.
Basically, he is no stranger to Wu Song, and he is a bloody man who dares to act.
"Lord, do you want to go to Yunzhou?" Wu Yong knew Chao Gai best and took the initiative to ask.
"My brother is in distress and must go. Zhao Tan, this-stirring stick, you should be more careful. Chao Gai shook his head with a wry smile, and then told what to do after leaving. Even Hedong Tianhu and Bianliang City's reaction were considered.
After the explanation, Chao Gai said goodbye to the two. first replied to Li Zhu with a letter, which was roughly in accordance with the original regulations to promote Wang Qing. Then he returned to the house and mentioned the matter and the itinerary to several ladies.
Early the next morning, he led the team to leave Chaojiazhuang.
