Chapter 106: Chai Jin Joins (2)
I only heard Wu Yong say unhurriedly: "I think that this Great Liao State will not be destroyed by the Great Song Dynasty, it should be under the attack of the Western Xia, the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin State, and it will mainly be destroyed by the Wanyan Aguda of the Jin State." At this time, the Liao State had already perished, and the land of the Liao State, including the sixteen states of Yanyun, was occupied by the Jin State. At this time, the Jin State accepted the land and population of the Liao State, and the national strength became stronger. They will inevitably look at the flowery world of the Central Plains and raise troops to the south. Our army in the Central Plains only has a slight combat strength of the Western Army, but it will definitely be pinned down in the northwest by the Western Xia army. At this time, the Jin people raised troops to the south, and our Central Plains will have no soldiers to stop. So, Zhao Gongzi is taking precautions and preparing for the upcoming chaos, I don't know if I'm right? ”
"Brother Wu said that eight or nine is not far from ten. Although the current country of the Jin people is not large, the cavalry has reached 10,000. There was a saying among the Liao people a few years ago: If the Jin people are not ten thousand, tens of thousands are invincible. The Jin cavalry has grown from a few hundred people at the beginning to tens of thousands of people today, and has fought hundreds of battles with the Liao people, without losing once. Moreover, the more soldiers there were, the wider the territory occupied, and the more people plundered, the stronger the Jin State became. At that time, the Jin people's attack on the Central Plains will definitely be overwhelming, devastating. At that time, I planned to watch from the wall in Western Xia, and all the two or three hundred thousand Western troops would return to defense, could they stop the iron cavalry of the Jin people? The Western Army was not even as powerful as the Western Xia Army and the Liao Army, and it was impossible to stop the Jin Iron Cavalry. What's more, the spies I sent to the Jin Kingdom have already heard that Wanyan Zongbi, the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom, is forming a kind of chain of heavy armored cavalry, called Tiefutu, where people and horses are wrapped in iron armor, and it is difficult for bows and arrows and ordinary swords and guns to damage them. During training, three people and three horsemen are connected together with iron chains, and when they go out into battle, they attack the enemy in a uniform manner, as long as they are bitten and besieged by the other party, both infantry and cavalry can only be slaughtered. Two months ago, he met Cao Cao, a 30,000-strong cavalryman of the Liao people, more than 300 miles north of Yanjing, and tried his skills for the first time, killing the Liao soldiers who lost their armor and corpses all over the field, and escaped less than 5,000 erlang. This battle made the Liao people change color when they heard the Tiefutu, and it also made the reputation of the first among the young generals of the Golden Vulture even more. Therefore, I raised private soldiers mainly to meet the gold people when the time came. It's not a flag-raising rebellion as everyone thinks. At that time, my main opponents were several generals of the Jin Kingdom, such as Wanyan Gao, Wanyan Zongwang, Muhan Wanyan Zonghan, Jin Wushu, Wanyan Yanmu, Wanyan Lou Room, Wanyan Yinshuke, etc., especially Jin Wushu. Of course, at that time, the Great Song Dynasty may have existed in name only, and I will no longer care about the topic of 'someone raising a private soldier and having the intention of rebelling'. After driving the Jin people away, since it is the Song Dynasty, it may not exist, then 'the world, the world of the world, only the virtuous live. This sentence can be implemented, whoever is virtuous will be the emperor. Therefore, whoever can get the support of the people of the world will be the emperor. That's why I need a war horse, and that's why I personally left government affairs to find a big official. And I want as many horses as you have, and I can give you an extra 10% of the money. ”
At this time, Shi Wengong interjected: "Senior Brother Zhao, didn't you say that the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom is invincible? Even the thousands of troops and horses of the entire Great Song Dynasty can't stop it, what can you do with tens of thousands of horses? Besides, what did you say about the iron of the Golden Vulture......"
"Iron Float." "That's right! It's that Tiefutu, that family is even more powerful, it's simply invulnerable, only he kills you, you can't kill him at all. Therefore, even if you have 100,000 soldiers and horses, it will not help. ”
"The second senior brother's concerns are reasonable, but you forgot that the weapon I gave you was the one that broke the Iron Floating Massacre. With the ability of your second senior brother, a handful of steel grass or Fang Tian painting halberd in one hand, poking at his iron armor like a bamboo shoot shell, it is not a problem to even pick ten of him in one hand. What's more, I have set up a big knife team, the blue Tang Mo knife, and it is not a problem to cut gold and jade. Chopping people's heads up and horses' feet down is the nemesis of Tiefutu. It is said that Yan Zongbi Jin Wushu is ready to train 3,000 Tiefutu, and another 2,000 as a substitute. Then I will slaughter his Iron Float with a thousand swordsmen. In addition, I also have a magic weapon to win, that is, lightweight steel armor, from the helmet to all the steel armor, less than a hundred catties, except for the sharp weapons I gave you to cause some damage to it, ordinary weapons have nothing to do with it. At that time, my soldiers will encounter the Jin people, unless all the three senior brothers, the second brother Wu, the king of heaven, and the black brother are people with divine powers, and they use heavy weapons to shock people, otherwise the general weapons will only hurt my soldiers. If the two armies face each other, then my men and horses will not need to defend, but only attack, and it will really become a one-sided killing. I only brought two sets of armor this time, Second Brother Wu, please take them out, and let them use their original weapons to cut off the thorns, so that they can't hurt them in the slightest. ”
Wu Song brought two sets of armor according to his words, the blue-eyed tiger Li Yun slashed with a Pu knife, the armor was not damaged, Li Kui took the two iron axes he originally used, and he was severely chopped off by the helmet and steel armor, and he still couldn't destroy it. Of course, Shi Wengong was happy for his junior brother, but Chai Jin and Wu Yong were shocked: "Most of the rivers and mountains in China will be this person in the future, and no one can compete with them!" ”
At this time, the housekeeper came to report that the reception banquet of Zhao Gongzi and other heroes had been prepared, and everyone was invited to talk while drinking.
Chai Jin got up and beckoned everyone to the dining room to take a seat, and instructed the housekeeper to drink the two altars of immortal drunk sent by Zhao Gongzi today on each table, and everyone drank to their heart's content, and they didn't stop if they weren't drunk......
The next day, Chai Jin invited Zhao Chongyang to the secret room to talk. The people who participated in the secret room conversation were Chai Jin, Wu Yong, and Zhao Chongyang. The three of them talked for two hours, and the content of the conversation was unknown. After the three of them came out of the secret room, it was almost dinner time, and Chai Jin instructed the housekeeper to set the meal in advance and not drink for the time being. After dinner, we called everyone for a meeting, and only drank after the meeting. The heroes knew that Chai Jin was definitely going to announce something big.
Sure enough, after the meal, Chai Jin asked everyone to go to the conference hall for a meeting. The meeting was presided over by Wu Yong, who briefly made two opening remarks, and then said: "Next, I would like to ask the Chai officials to announce a major decision." ”
I saw Chai Jin stand up and say: "Everyone knows my Chai Jin's origin, and they know that I am the grandson of the royal family of the Great Zhou." Our Chai family is a special existence in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is the hereditary king of Tiemao. My father is the previous generation of Chai King, and the current Chai King is my eldest brother Chai Gui. I won't hide it from you today, since my eldest brother succeeded to the throne of King Chai, I have seen that today's officials are favored and treacherous, ignoring the government and politics, focusing on poetry and painting, cultivating the Tao and seeking immortals, and seeking the art of immortality. It has made the people's livelihood miserable and the national strength has been sharply reduced. My eldest brother Chai Wang is a very ambitious person, and when he saw that the chaos in Shenzhou had appeared, he thought about how to take advantage of the chaos to recruit troops and restore our Great Zhou Dynasty. My uncle Chai Huangcheng was sent by him to do business in the Central Plains, and now the business is getting bigger and bigger, and it is said that he has won the monopoly rights of Zhao Gongzi and their Wantong Chamber of Commerce in many places. I was sent to Cangzhou in the north to buy a manor, recruit displaced people and refugees to open up wasteland and farm, and also do some business. The main thing is to make friends with the heroes of the world and try to bring them under your command. Later, he accepted the suggestion of the two brothers of Huangfuduan to sell horses in Liaoguo. In the past few years, there have been more than 12,000 good horses, only 3,000 have been transported back to Nanning, and more than 9,000 have been fed in Dongzhuang and Xizhuang, and some of the second horses have all been sold. Now, these nearly 10,000 good horses can add nearly 1,000 foals every year, in fact, we now have more than 12,000 war horses available here. Originally, I supported what my eldest brother did, and we were preparing to use these war horses in the future. Now I have found their purpose, which is to support the little brother Zhao Gongzi to form cavalry, so that they can gallop on the battlefield of sweeping gold and destroying Liao, and fight to defend our thousands of miles of territory in China. Therefore, the major decision I want to announce today is that in the future, our old Chai family will all join Zhao Gongzi and obey Zhao Gongzi's orders, including the thousands of villagers I have here. Over the years, you brothers have followed me to sell horses in the north, slept in the barren mountains and mountains, and endured a lot of hardships. If you are willing to follow me to continue to work under Zhao Gongzi, Zhao Gongzi has his own arrangements, if he is willing to go home to farm, he will be given a settlement fee of 200 yuan per person, and everyone will go back to buy a house and buy a land, and ask for a wife to live a small life. If you want to go back, go to Zhao Gongzi to register, get the money and leave. Is there any? This is not a shame, everyone has their own difficulties, and Zhao Gongzi and I will definitely not force everyone. ”
Everyone said in unison: "I am willing to follow the eldest brother and devote myself to serving under Zhao Gongzi." Go to the soup and go to the fire, don't give up! ”
"Since the brothers have chosen to advance and retreat with me, let's ask our big leader Zhao Gongzi to tell you a few words now."
Zhao Chongyang stood up from his seat and bowed his hand to everyone: "I am very grateful to all my brothers." But the elder brother of the big official has already said, the elder brother follows the big official to come in the wind, go in the snow, often brave the cold wind and snow to advance, and finally create this Crouching Tiger Villa's belongings, and now all of them are handed over to the Wantong Chamber of Commerce, which I deserve. As I said, the Wantong Chamber of Commerce is not short of money, and I can mobilize tens of millions of dollars at any time. I bought a horse alone this time with more than 2 million yuan, 500 yuan for each new brother, if you have a family, you can take it home and leave it for your parents to support the elderly, leave it to your wife or brother to support the family, and if you don't have a home, use this money to start a family and raise a few children. The rest of the money was all handed over to the big officials as a little compensation for my joining of the Chai family. I may not have as many other skills as others, but if I call the second with the ability to find money, no one dares to call it the first. Therefore, these 500 yuan, you can spend it when it should be spent, and you can use it when you should use it, and I can earn hundreds of yuan every year, don't worry about using it in the future, and don't worry about not being able to support my wife and children. If any brother marries tomorrow, I will give him a thousand gifts immediately. ”
"That's a good relationship, I'll go to the matchmaker tomorrow to say kiss." "Oh, Brother Zhao, you give me a thousand guan first, and I will redeem the apricots in Xinghualou and give you as a sister-in-law." Ha... Ha......
