Chapter 331: Rich and Food, Becoming an Army in One Day
Dozens of feudal towns, hundreds of thousands of elite samurai.
With his own strength, he can extinguish the light, but it will take a long time, and the psychological impact will be great.
Commanding soldiers and horses to destroy tens of millions of enemies is not the same thing as destroying millions of them with their own hands.
Therefore, Li Yunze needs to establish his own strength in this world.
This time, he was not assigned an identity, neither a member of the Tang Dynasty nor a festival envoy of a certain feudal town.
In other words, everything has to start from scratch on its own.
Thinking of this, Li Yunze turned his head to look at the unlucky guy, "Boy, what's your name." ”
"The little one's name is Zhou Dabao, and he is a chef in a restaurant in Chang'an City." Zhou Dabao responded with a bitter face, "I was going to the camp for others, but I never thought that I would be dragged to Tongguan to fight, and I didn't expect to be good when I came, but I couldn't go back..."
Li Yunze immediately interrupted his miserable sale, "How much did you charge?" ”
"A piece of silk."
In the early Tang Dynasty, the price of silk was 500 wen. During the Anshi Rebellion, the world was in turmoil, prices soared, and the price of silk skyrocketed to 10,000 yuan.
It is now the late Tang Dynasty, and the price of silk is almost 1,000 wen.
"Is this price just a pen?" Li Yunze, who seemed to be smiling, looked at Zhou Dabao, "You treat me as melon peel?" ”
Extreme force once again hit Zhou Dabao's throat, "There is only one chance." ”
Feeling the strong murderous aura, Zhou Dabao didn't dare to hide it anymore, and told the truth tremblingly.
He is indeed a native of Chang'an, but he is not a chef in a restaurant but a street begging for a living, which is commonly known as the street boiler, the city fox and the mouse.
The daily work is to be a gang for the children of rich families, stealing chickens and dogs by the way.
The rich son he served was also named in the Shence Army, and he didn't dare to come to Tongguan this time, so he gave a silk horse for Zhou Dabao to replace.
A piece of silk worth thousands of dollars is enough for Zhou Dabao to work for it.
It's just that he was unlucky, not to mention his leg when he escaped, and he met such a ruthless person as Li Yunze.
Li Yunze, who got up again, simply instructed, "From now on, you mess with me, you can save your life by obeying orders, and if you don't obey orders, you will be dealt with by military law." A certain despises deserters the most. ”
"Wait here."
Li Yunze turned around and walked into the depths of the woods, and a bright light lit up in the short time, and then Li Yunze, who changed his outfit, dragged a big box over.
Zhou Dabao was dumbfounded, and after just a while, Li Yunze put on a set of beautifully crafted Mingguang armor.
This is not a burqa, you can wear it when you put it on, and there are many parts of the bright light armor, even when you wear it, you need someone to help you help.
Swallowing his saliva hard, Zhou Dabao limped forward, "Lang Jun let me come." ”
Li Yunze casually threw the tow rope to him, and walked out of the woods to the avenue by himself.
Zhou Dabao dragged hard here, but the big box didn't move at all!
It was only at this time that he saw the deep traces that Li Yunze dragged all the way.
Outside, Li Yunze shouted impatiently, "Rub it or something, come over quickly." ”
Zhou Dabao helplessly called, "Lang Jun forgives, the box is too heavy..."
Li Yunze came back and dragged the box to the avenue, and after opening it, he actually took out the kitchen utensils from it.
That's right, it's kitchenware.
Heavy gas canister stoves, large iron pots, stacks of bowls and tachyns, and all sorts of things.
Skillfully prop up, pick up a large bucket of pure water and pour it into the pot, open the gas stove and put the cauldron on it.
Then he took out boxes of canned meat from the large box, opened it, and threw it in.
Large bags of dehydrated vegetables, tear open the package and pour directly into the pot.
Vacuum-packed rice is poured directly into two large bags.
As for the seasoning or something, it's a bottle of salt, vinegar and sugar.
instructed Zhou Dabao, who was already drooling on the side, to keep stirring and turning, and Li Yunze took out a horse and sat down with a golden knife on the side.
During the Tang Dynasty, cooking techniques were far less developed than during the Song Dynasty, and even stir-fried dishes were not invented.
Usually when eating, it is this type of messy stew.
Smelling the fragrance wafting from the cauldron, Zhou Dabao, who was swallowing saliva, asked, "Lang Jun, what is this for?" ”
"Recruit the rout."
To deal with the martial arts, the words of the literati and doctors are definitely useless, and the people pluck out their ears and trample on their horses directly.
If you want to deal with martial artists, the best way is, of course, to stop martial arts with force.
For Li Yunze, who has no identity advantage this time, the defeated and fleeing Shence army in front of him is naturally the best target for recruitment.
Sure enough, it didn't take much effort, and another rout of more than 100 people swarmed in.
The Shence Army, which was already short of food, had fled for so long, and naturally it was already thundering.
Suddenly, I saw such a large cauldron with such a fragrant smell on the avenue, and suddenly rushed over in a hurry.
The military system of the Tang Dynasty was divided into battalions, regiments under battalions, brigades under regiments, brigades under brigades, and teams under the jurisdiction of teams.
Usually a regiment is 200 men, and the size of this rout should be a regiment.
The captain led by Ce immediately stepped forward and looked at Li Yunze condescendingly, "Who are you?" No matter who you are, now this pot of food belongs to the captain. ”
Li Yunze, who had a calm face, simply got up and reached out to hold the horizontal knife hanging from his waist.
'Whoa! ’
A cold light flashed, and the captain on horseback didn't even notice what was going on, and he fell down with blood on his neck.
The routs who were gasping for breath and inhaling the smell of meat were shocked, and then more than a dozen captains' personal soldiers pounced on them with horizontal knives.
Li Yunze didn't have the slightest intention of sparing his hand, and directly crashed into the crowd in his hands, and the sword and sword shadow fought through the battle, and easily solved these pro-soldiers.
Carrying the horizontal knife that was still dripping blood in his hand, Li Yunze's eyes swept over the remaining routs, and everywhere he looked, the routs dodged and retreated.
"You wait for the imperial court to pay for the food and salary, and you should serve the imperial court." The monkey has been slaughtered, and the next thing is naturally to deter this group of weak chickens, "Now that they have been defeated by the enemy, have they ever been worthy of the food and salary they have received?" ”
In the early stage of the Tang Army, it was a government military system, and the sons of good families who had money and Yongye Tian were the main force of the army.
After the Anshi Rebellion, the military system festered, and instead began to move towards a conscription system, and began to train professional soldiers.
Naturally, they were to be fed.
At present, the core soldiers and horses of the feudal towns in various places are basically these professional soldiers who have been pondering how to cut people more effectively all day long.
The government military system and the conscription system have their own advantages and disadvantages, and which one is better should be combined with the actual situation.
Most of the defeated soldiers did not react, they were basically hired for money, and the food and salary they received in the past had nothing to do with them.
Li Yunze's words changed: "From now on, you and others will all be under the command of this general, if there are those who do not follow, these people will be the end." ”
They were all hired for money, and naturally no one objected except for the pro-soldiers, and the pro-soldiers had already followed the captain to lie down with the captain at this time.
Stretched out his hand and pointed to the cauldron over there, "Line up and go over to eat!" ”
The defeated soldiers, who were already hungry, finally reacted when they heard this, and gathered around to eat meat porridge.
At this time, Zhou Dabao also got up, waving a horse spoon and shouting, "It's all deaf, didn't you hear the general say to line up?" Stand up, stand up! Say what about you, and then squeeze and knock you to death! ”
Li Yunze stepped forward and gathered more than ten horses and tied them to the trees on the side of the road, and selected the best one among them, that is, the horse ridden by the captain, and began to pacify and prepare to be his mount.
It can be seen from these horses that Datang is much stronger than Da Song at least in terms of cavalry, at least there is no shortage of horses.
By the time Li Yunze pacified the horse and rode the horse around, he had already cooked the second pot.
Zhou Dabao stood aside and watched before, and he had almost learned Li Yunze's craftsmanship.
Although there are many things that are not clear, such as tin boxes, vegetables in winter, and tin cans on fire.
But in this environment, who cares about that?
Seeing that the newly acquired little brother was working so hard, Li Yunze nodded with satisfaction, turned his horse's head and went to the woods beside the road.
After a moment's effort, when he came out again, the horse was already dragging another large box over.
A few people were selected from the rout, and at first glance, they had big heads and thick necks, and they raised a few cauldrons again.
Gathering the rout is a technical job, just rely on the mouth to say, the emperor came and said that it was useless to spit.
The threat of force first calms its momentum, and then reins it after throwing it out with the benefits.
Li Yunze dragged several large boxes again, and this time the boxes were full of brand-new copper coins.
They are all brand new Kaiyuan Tongbao, Qianfeng Quanbao, Dali Yuanbao, and Jianzhong Tongbao. Proper hard currency in this era.
In martial arts dramas, silver is thrown at every turn, and that is all in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
And even in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the main currency in circulation of the people was still copper coins, and silver and silver were only used by wealthy people.
Sitting on the mazar again, Li Yunze beckoned the well-fed and well-fed defeated soldiers, "Those who are willing to follow the general will come and get their own money." Take money from your stomach, and you can hold as much as you want. ”
The stomach is the helmet, and the equipment level of the Shence Army as a royal forest army is very good, basically everyone has a helmet.
Even if a rout soldier was thrown away when he fled, at this time, he would go to grab the helmet of the captain's own soldiers who were killed by Li Yunze.
Even the captain's helmet was not spared.
Money in front of you, it's not a big deal.
After eating and drinking, he took copper coins, and his morale rebounded significantly.
"You, you, and you..."Li Yunze selected more than twenty defeated soldiers who looked good in physique, "The whole set of armor and stomach was neatly dressed, and he stood behind the general as a background. ”
The captain and his own soldiers were unlucky again, even if they were lying flat, they were not let go, and only their underwear was left directly.
The rest of the people were not idle, and dragged the captain and his soldiers into the forest to dig a pit and bury them, and then came out and set up a large pot by the roadside, and began to boil meat porridge.
After that, wave after wave of routs swarmed in, and there were only more than a dozen people in small groups, and there were even thousands of people.
Li Yunze's disposal method is basically the same, the brigade commander and lieutenant above the team are all disposed of, and the rest of the people first fill their stomachs with delicious meat porridge, and then distribute copper coins to win the hearts of the army.
By the time it was getting late, thousands of people had gathered around him.
Relying on a strong logistical support force, Li Yunze only took one day to pull up a team of thousands of soldiers and horses in this era when martial arts were in power.
When the sun was about to set, a group of soldiers and horses appeared on the avenue again.
However, this time it was no longer the rout of the Shence Army, but the Boye Army that rebelled before the battle.
Li Yunze, who had been sitting in Mazha for most of the day, finally got up and took over a cold and cold Mo knife from Zhou Dabao behind him!
