"My lord, this is the name of our mercenary!"

"Tigers? What do you think? Don't you know that the predecessor of the Feilian Army was called the Tiger Battalion? That's the royal guard, the elite of my Great Song Jing Battalion, with your identity, worthy? ”

"Can half of your identity be compared to the children of the forbidden army? Not to mention identity, everyone in the Feilian Army is a good family, but what about you? And I ask you......"

Chao Gai was unhappy, he felt targeted and humiliated.

In Yuncheng, in Sucheng, there was no young man who pointed at his nose and scolded, but in this military command bureau, this humiliation made him almost run away.

Wu Yong was also angry and anxious, but he was a person who took care of the overall situation, so he pulled Chao Gai's arm and reminded in a low voice: "Brother don't be impulsive, why don't you sit in the official residence on the side?" ”

It doesn't matter if they are impulsive, but they run to the Military Command Bureau and Li Kui's territory to play tricks. It's not a self-defeating trap, what else can it be?

Chao Gai finally held back his anger, but Liang Shijie, who was sitting behind the bookcase, was still chattering: "This official asked you, what did you do for a living before you stumbled?" ”

"My brother's rich man!"

"Hmph, rich man? Do you know how this Chao family got rich? ”

"I heard that it is a night relic...... gold"

Liang Shijie has already given Chao cover face.

didn't say that he was a thief, but used the word stumbling.

looked vague, but it was like tattooing Chao Gai's face, which made him feel so uncomfortable.

The old Chao family's way to make a fortune is actually quite weird, otherwise, Chao Gai would not like to make friends with gangsters. There was no shortage of such friends in his family. Since the previous generation, the roots are not clean.

The more Chao Gai thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, turned his head and walked out of the yamen, and said to Wu Yong before leaving: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, just let people think of a name for us, let me wait and prepare, isn't it a pastime for me to wait?" ”

"Wu Yong, you discuss with this adult, I'll go sit outside the door."

The vicinity of Baokang Gate is now the industry of the Military Command Bureau, and the Military Command Bureau is now not what it used to be, and it has attracted a lot of good players in the rivers and lakes, and they are not afraid of the other party's spilling and playing tricks, this is not a place where they can be arrogant.

After Chao Gai left, Liang Shijie took out a note from his pocket and said to Wu Yong: "This is the ink treasure of our bureau, the two words on it, you should understand what it means." ”

Wu Yong unfolded the note, and two big characters were written on it: Hero.

"Why 'Hero'? It sounds like the identity of the green forest, my lord, can't you change one? ”

Liang Shijie said unhappily: "How can you choose?" Do you think that if you give this name, you have been wronged? ”

Wu Yong hurriedly explained: "Don't dare, don't dare!" ”

Liang Shijie's face turned a little pale, and he said a few more words: "The name is just a rhetoric, this official tells you that the imperial court intends to reduce the Xiang army." That is, you have a good life, and you may get the same treatment as the Xiang Army. If you really make meritorious contributions, maybe you can be knighted. Of course, if you are developed, you may not be able to look down on this title. ”

"How can it? Thank you, sir, for laughing. While speaking, Wu Yong took the official document handed over by Liang Shijie, but when he handed it over, he bought a piece of metal that was quite overwhelming, and weighed it with Liang Shijie's rich experience, whether this was a piece of gold or a piece of gold weighing almost a pound. His face turned into a cold smile: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”

A mercenary group of heroes?

After Li Kui became an official, many strange new things appeared in the Great Song Dynasty.

For example, 'clairvoyance'.

'Cannon'.

'Musket'......

Mercenary groups, mercenaries are the hot spots lately.

Li Kui deliberately reserved the position of the first mercenary group for Liang Shanbo, because except for Liang Shanbo, a group of bandits, the other cottages were worse than the other. Don't look at Liangshanbo as a den of thieves. But it's such a den of thieves, there are generals (there are quite a few), there are military advisors, and even logistics leaders. The non-commissioned officers still have adequate training.

Such a configuration is almost the configuration of a local army.

This is the reason why Liang Shanbo wants to be recruited.

Chao Gai didn't want to be recruited, but he didn't count. Especially Chao Gai is a very righteous person, he is not afraid of death, but to let him watch his brother who follows him die with him, this makes him more uncomfortable than killing him.

Under the pressure of the situation, Chao Gai had to follow Wu Yong's advice and take the route closer to the imperial court.

Wu Yong was still very surprised that Li Kui was still thinking about them. Somewhat flattered. But seeing the name of the mercenary group that Li Kui gave them, they were a little dumbfounded.

The heroic mercenary group, listening to the name, it doesn't seem to be very serious.

Liang Shijie saw that Wu Yong not only did not express gratitude, but also showed disgust, and immediately became unhappy, and reprimanded: "You sour scholar, what do you mean, why did you show a disgusted expression when you saw the name given by my family's bureau?" ”

Wu Yong hurriedly confessed: "Don't dare, don't dare, this is a little incomprehensible." ”

It's incomprehensible, it's just rhetoric, and to put it bluntly, it's just dissatisfied.

Why, can't their Liang Shanbo's brothers form a domineering, loud mercenary group name, they have to call it 'Heroic Mercenary Group'?

The name doesn't sound like a place for a group of serious people.

He Wu Yong is a scholar, if he really didn't have the opportunity to sell his knowledge to the emperor's family, he wouldn't follow Chao Gai to do mischief. When Wu used the highest light, he was to participate in the test, but this was already the end.

There is no shortage of scholars in the Great Song Dynasty, and Wu Yong's talent and learning, if you really want to compare with readers, you really don't have any advantage at all.

In Li Kui's opinion, even Li Bangyan can't compare. Li Bangyan is really talented, and reading is called easy, and now he is also thriving in Taixue.

And useless is different, he is a flat-headed commoner, and he has not yet been admitted to a truly well-known academy.

In the Great Song Dynasty, among the academies in the north, there are not many academies that can really be ranked first, and there are only a few.

Let's not talk about Taixue, followed by Yingtianfu Academy, which is a government-run academy, and the teaching is also first-class. Fan Zhongyan is a student of Ying Tianfu Academy. Moreover, many of the Jinshi in the imperial examination every year will come to Yingtianfu Academy as professors. This is also the first academy in the north in addition to Taixue.

The second is the Culai Academy, which is in Mount Tai. Culai Mountain, also known as Little Mount Tai, is on the edge of Mount Tai. This is also the best academy on Jingdong East Road, but unfortunately it recruits fewer students.

In addition, following famous teachers can also get the door to pull the imperial examination.

After all, whether it is Taixue or Tianfu Academy, it needs to be recommended by celebrities.

It's a pity that Wu Yong didn't have the opportunity to enter such a academy at all. At most, they are mixed in the county school, if such a student can be admitted to the Jinshi, unless it is a student like Su Shi and Ouyang Xiu, a genius student whose talent will not be suppressed anywhere will have a chance. Wu Yong is not worse than them. As for the shady curtain of the imperial examination, the Great Song Dynasty really didn't dare to have the possibility of deposing the champion examination papers.

After all, studying and taking the imperial examination is not an examination of the formation of troops, let alone a miscellaneous society.

If Wu Yong wants to rise, he must not have a platform that is sufficiently developed. It's a pity that he didn't, Yuncheng is actually worse than Yishui County, Yishui County is already a den of thieves, but Yuncheng is a den of thieves in a den of thieves. After all, Yuncheng is leaning on the Wuzhang River, which is the main traffic route from Kaifeng to the east to Dengzhou.

Wu Yong was frustrated, what he got from Liang Shijie was not good news.

In the official house, Li Kui raised his eyelids to look at Liang Shijie and asked, "Are they gone?" ”

"Bureau, they're all gone."

Liang Shijie poured tea soup for Li Kui with a smile, then respectfully put it on the bookcase, took two steps back, and said respectfully: "Bureau, I think you are too lenient with them." This Chao Gai and Wu Yong and others are not the kind of grateful people at first glance, where do they understand the good intentions of the bureau! ”

"Jianghu people are unruly. In the past, it was killed when it was killed, but now it is the time for the court to use people, and if it can be used, it will be used. ”

Of course, Li Kui will not express his preferential treatment of Liang Shan, in fact, in his heart, although Liang Shan is not good, it is definitely much easier to use than a general from the forbidden army to say that people are simple in mind and easy to use.

Even Yang Zhi ......

Yang Zhi, who has never fallen into the grass, also has small calculations.

If it is really a choice between life and death, Li Kui firmly believes that there will be a few reckless men in Liangshan who are not afraid of death and fulfill their righteousness. But officialdom, forget it, I'm afraid there is none. If Li Kui raised troops against the Song Dynasty at this time, he pondered that there would be a few people who would follow him to the death: Li Yun, Luda, Hua Rong, Ruan Xiaoer, Wu Song, Jiao Ting, and a few of them. Other than that, no one else will follow him. These people ...... There is a high probability that it has something to do with Liangshan.

Of course, Li Kui didn't plan to rebel, but it was just an analogy.

These words are just words from the heart, real people, and they are relieved to use, this is Li Kui's true thoughts. Of course, if it's really a bad person, Li Kui is not good.

It's not that he can't tolerate people, but wherever rotten people go, they will bring others badly.

"Jiao Ting."

"The subordinates are here."

"You took the official document of the Military Unification Bureau to Liangshan to receive soldiers and horses, and you handled all the materials that came and went, but is there a problem?"

"The subordinates will live up to the expectations of the bureau."

"Go ahead!"

……

Outside the yamen, Chao Gai greeted Wu Yong, who sent the Yamen of the Unified Bureau, and scolded and scolded unhappily: "This snobbish yamen doesn't know what kind of heart An's heart is." Brother Wu, let you be wronged. Brothers are waiting for you in the restaurant, have a drink today. ”

Chao Gai is such a character, he cares about his brothers' thoughts first, but he doesn't care much about big things.

Wu Yong handed the official document to Chao Gai, and then said in a low voice: "Brother, it's all done." ”

"Heroic mercenary group?" Chao Gai touched the beard on his chin, looked at the official document, and suddenly laughed, as if he was very proud, and said happily: "This name is good, just what I want." ”

Can it not be in line with Chao Gai's wishes?

This name doesn't sound like being recruited.

Chao Gai resisted Zhao'an in his heart, but for the sake of his brothers' future and lives, he had to take this step. But a 'heroic mercenary group' warmed Chao Gai's heart.

He is still the man who eats meat and drinks in large bowls. It's just that this time they will not plague the township and become bandits who everyone talks about, but will become a mercenary group, go abroad to fight, and fight Liao dogs.

Wu Yong couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw Chao Gai sweeping away the haze between his eyebrows for a few days. He also didn't want to tell Chao Gai that this name was not given by him at all, but by his rival Li Kui. This stupid brother, this is a substitute for the dead, what is there to be happy about?

As far as Liangshanbo is concerned, even if enough soldiers are recruited, the whole regiment will reach 5,000 people. Will they be able to fight with Liao?

He didn't think Li Kui would be so kind.

even blackened in his heart, thinking that Li Kui was excluding dissidents.

"Dare to ask if it's Chao Gai, the leader of the heroic mercenary group?"

When I was proud of Chao Gai, I felt like I was blocked by a wall, and the surroundings were darkened. When he looked up, he was suddenly surprised: "Dare to be this benevolent brother?" ”

"Jiao Ting, the captain of the Beijing camp, is on an errand under Master Li of the Military Command Bureau, and he will be the Sima of the heroic mercenary group in the future, get to know him, and he will be in Jiao Ting."

Jiao Ting is the kind of person who stands as if he is a roshan, which gives people great psychological pressure. But in fact, facing him head-on, the pressure will be even greater.

Chao Gai stood up, hugged his fists and said, "Under Chao Gai." ”

He didn't have the heart to continue, feeling that the court didn't trust him. Why didn't you even notify him, and arranged a Sima for him? Isn't that distrustful of him?

On the contrary, when Wu Yong heard that Jiao Ting was on an errand under Li Kuimen, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly saluted Jiao Ting and said, "I've seen Captain Jiao." ”

"I don't know if Captain Jiao is here, but it's ......"

Jiao Ting looked at a table of wine and food, he is an open-minded person, fat people are generally broad-minded, when encountering some difficulties, there is basically nothing that a bowl of braised pork can't solve, if not, then another bowl.

Jiao Ting sat down, looked up at Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Lei Heng and others, and said, "Why are you standing, sitting!" Xiao Er, serve wine and meat. ”

As he spoke, he took out a red leather case under his arm and placed it on the table, and when he opened it, the holster of five clairvoyant mirrors was impressive.

Stretched out his hand and pushed the thing in front of Chao Gai: "This is the command equipment given to the heroic mercenary group by the Military Command Bureau." ”

"Equipment?"

Chao Gai didn't know why, he didn't look like he was very powerful, he looked up and said suspiciously: "Jiao Sima ......"

"In the future, everyone will eat in one pot, don't call it a captain, it looks raw. Just call me Jiao Ting, look up to a certain person, and call me Brother Jiao. ”

"Okay, Brother Jiao, you can afford to cover my Chao Gai, please drink this cup to the full!"

"!"

"!"

Jiao Ting is more thoughtful than Wu Song, he is also a big person, but he is by no means a heartless person. He took out a leather cylinder from his waist that was exactly the same as the box, opened the lid and poured out the clairvoyant mirror inside, and then took it in his hand and explained to Chao Gai: "This thing is a product of my Military Command Bureau, called the clairfront mirror." One sells thousands of pieces outside, of course, it's normal that you don't know each other. Now, in addition to the four armies in Beijing, as well as Fei Lian and the Praetorian Guard, no army in the Great Song Dynasty is equipped with this thing. There were only a few in the Western Army. ”

"The use of this object is to open it, put a small eyepiece close to the eye, stretch the lens barrel with your hand, adjust, take a proper distance, and the scene a few miles away will seem to be close to you."

Chao Gai saw the magic of Jiao Ting's words, tried to take out a clairvoyant mirror, and came to the window of the restaurant.

According to the steps Jiao Ting said, he began to arouse, and he was really not used to it at first, but as his proficiency increased, he really found some doorways.

The mouth was full of admiration: "It's amazing, this thing is simply priceless, ingenious." The name of this clairvoyant mirror is indeed worthy of its name. ”

Although Chao Gai kept praising the efficacy of the clairvoyant mirror, he was still secretly happy. Just now he almost regarded this thing as a secret weapon, and he looked very uninformed.

It's a good thing I didn't say it, otherwise I would have been embarrassed.

In addition, Chao Gai was also surprised by the prosperity of Kaifeng.

If he had walked in the city, his feeling would not have been so strong, but now he could still see the houses and people in sight by relying on the treasures in his hands. That kind of spiritual shock made him unable to calm down for a long time.

This......

Huh-

Chao Gai suddenly felt as if his eyes were about to be blinded by needles, and hurriedly moved the clairglass away, holding on to the windowsill with a sallow face, panting vigorously, Lei Heng hurriedly ran to help Chao Gai, and said nervously: "Brother, but is it plotted by this thing?" Let me see, the little brother has not seen through this person's tricks. ”

Chao Gai put the clairvoyant mirror away, covered the lid, and put it in the box, but his mouth was obstructed: "Don't worry, brother Xian, it's because my brother can't drink too much." ”

But in his heart, Chao Gai complained: "This capital is really an evil place, and it is in the courtyard in broad daylight...... There is no shame! I have been working hard for more than 30 years, but I almost fell short. I silently recited the meditation mantra in my heart, and finally added a sentence: All evil and fornication are the first! ”
