Outside the city, the sound of drills in the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army resounded in the sky

More than 100 people lined up neatly, their faces were indifferent, and the footsteps gradually became heavy.

"Keep your legs straight, hold on!"

"That's right! That's it, stand up straight! Don't you think you'll be able to win every battle when you go to war? No way! Without more rigorous training, you could be defeated at any time! ”

Qin Wei shouted at the top of his voice.

The footsteps became more and more neat.

More than 300 people lined up in the Qin family's Zhuangzi, the number was small, but the momentum was like a rainbow.

After several rounds of expansion, it has become a small village, with many more people than an ordinary village.

To the south of Zhuangzi was the military camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army, next to the firearms workshop and the incense dew workshop, then the liquor workshop, and to the north was the fields.

That's thousands of acres!

Now the people living in the Qin family's Zhuangzi are some workers in the workshop, some are relatives of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and the rest are the family members and relatives of many of Qin Ji's men and shopkeepers in the city.

One after another, they have made their home here.

In order to accommodate these people, Qin Wei had to expand outward frequently, until now it has become a paradise outside Bianliang City.

Zhe Jizu originally disagreed with the training of these Northern Expeditionary Army in Zhuangzi.

After all, soldiers should stay in the barracks, not live here with a group of ordinary people, which will wear down their fighting spirit.

But Qin Wei said......

The soldiers defend their families and the country, but few of them understand the true meaning of this sentence, and most of these people in Zhuangzi are their relatives.

They may not understand what the righteousness of the family and country is, but they understand that if they want to protect their families, they must work hard to train and be brave!

As for the way this drill queue is conducted.

As the chief general of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Di Qing felt that whether he walked neatly or not was a chicken rib for the army.

After all, at present, any army does not deliberately require soldiers to practice in the queue, and this thing is useless when it is on the battlefield.

The ultimate meaning of the existence of the army is to kill the enemy.

As long as it can kill people, as long as it can kill the most people at the minimum cost, then this army is enough to be called elite!

Killing opponents, killing enemies, and defending the country is the meaning of their existence.

What are you doing walking? No matter how good you go, it can't help you kill more, this is just a showcase.

But when this array gradually took shape, the powerful momentum that emanated from the uniformity made him shocked.

Di Qing exclaimed and said, "Can you still walk out of such momentum?" Let's not talk about the lethality, just the momentum is enough to deter many people! ”

Momentum is very important, and it is generally shown after a baptism of blood.

But now, Qin Wei only used one queue drill to give this army momentum.

Qin Wei shook his head and said: "It's not good enough, you have to get out of the invincible momentum, and you have to have a murderous aura!" A murderous aura that can make enemies flee from the wind! How can an army be done without murderous spirit? Tell Xie Ting a few of them, Lao Tzu wants to see the murderous aura! ”

Someone ran to inform Xie Ting and a few other team leaders.

Later, the shouts of killing became louder.

Qin Wei continued: "Let them train the queue not only for this, but also for them to know how to obey military discipline and understand what it means to be ordered and prohibited...... Only an army with strict military discipline can bring out its greatest strength on the battlefield. ”

"The second is cohesion, when you are in this group and walk out of the majestic array together, you will have a sense of belonging!"

A sense of belonging is what is most needed in the military.

This is the same way he asked these sergeants to train in front of their relatives and family members on the road in Zhuangzi, is there a more sense of belonging?

"Military discipline is strict, and training is strict! The weapon is sharp, where to fight! Who in the world can be the enemy of such an army? ”

Zhi Jizu nodded and said, "Brother Qin, the array is so neat, do you want to use a spear in the future?" Or are you going to let them train the crossbow array. ”

In the army, only the spear array and crossbow array need to be kept neat.

"No matter what you use, there's always a good thing about it being neatly arranged."

Qin Wei refused to reveal the future direction, he was waiting for the opportunity.

He then went to the firearms shop.

As soon as you enter, it smells a little choking.

The faint smell of sulfur is very pungent, and people feel like quitting unconsciously.

Gunpowder, no, should be called a bomb now.

Seeing Qin Wei coming, the craftsman in charge was a little nervous, so he said: "We have to wait, the black powder formula you said is really difficult to master, we have tried countless times, but only once in ten times." ”

"There's no hurry."

Qin Wei is really not in a hurry, it's too early to come up with something good.

Especially the big killing weapon of black powder, once it appears, it will end the era of cold weapons ahead of schedule, and all kinds of constraints will come one after another.

From ancient times to the present, what is the hardest?

It's hardest to do things!

There are countless constraints that make people have to go with the flow, but whenever the slightest violation of the rules appears, it will become the target of public criticism in an instant.

So it's best not to do things, just be a person.

Then the power is rich and beautiful, everything will not be lacking, just like Qin Wei before, he doesn't need to do anything earth-shattering, just stand in line, and then wait for the wealth to come.

But once you want to do something, it will involve interests, and if there are interests, there will be disputes, and if there are disputes, this matter will come to an end.

Unless you have the power to smooth out all the strife and obstacles, you can't do anything!

Meanwhile.

You'll have to appease the alliance and settle the dispute...... All kinds of people and all kinds of things are coming in one go, so that you no longer have time to take care of the things themselves.

This is the price of doing things, regardless of the age.

Another craftsman in charge came in, with a smile on his face, but he looked a little reluctant.

"Commitment...... People's hearts are a little unstable! ”

"Why?"

The steward craftsman said: "The people in the workshop are always worried about the future of the future, they say that the court has assigned them to them, and maybe they will be driven out in the future." ”

Another steward also smiled bitterly: "Some people even say that the firearms workshop is confidential, and after the gunpowder research is successful, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive." ”

It turned out to be worried about the future.

Qin Weizheng said: "Don't worry, as long as the official is in one day, the firearms workshop will always be the best-treated department in the Great Song Dynasty!" Tell the people below that in the future, they will add five yuan to their monthly salary, and who doesn't believe him to come to me! ”

"Thank you very much!"

The two stewards suddenly smiled, but Qin Wei waved his hand indifferently.

Because he had already seen Zong Sheng, he came with a few officials, these were all people from the Bureau, and they were also his own people.

But the fact that they were here shows that they have encountered a difficult problem.

In the past, as long as he was not there, Zongsheng was in charge of the affairs bureau alone, but later with Fu Bi, the two cooperated inside and outside, and the affairs bureau did not have to worry about him.

But today, Zong Sheng found here.

That means that he has encountered something difficult, and this matter is urgent, so he will take the risk and come to see him in this kind of place.

The firearms workshop is a top-secret project of the Great Song Dynasty.

Those who know can count no more than five on their fingers.

Zong Sheng didn't know what he was doing here, but he had heard that His Majesty had issued an edict, but anyone who trespassed into the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army could be cut first and then played!

What can make Zhao Zhen pay so much attention will definitely not be the more than 300 big-headed soldiers in the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Therefore, the courtiers secretly guessed in their hearts that there must be something top-secret and important here.

"What's wrong?"

Outside the barracks, Qin Wei asked a little casually.

Zong Sheng immediately said with a sad face: "Chengzhi, the envoy of the Liao State is here, this time it is not Yelu Guangjun, but a guy named Xiao Changren, I heard that it is the younger brother of Xiao Bodhisattva, the queen of the Liao State, who is arrogant and ruthless!" The main hall was aggressive, saying that the Great Song Dynasty would open another moose on the border for trade between the two countries. ”

What should have come is still coming.

The Great Song Dynasty was afraid that the Liao State was afraid of death, and the Liao State also knew that the Great Song Dynasty was afraid of himself.

So as soon as I learned about the diversion of the Yellow River, the Liao people came, which is considered a sequelae.

The Great Song Dynasty believed that the Yellow River was a barrier to the iron hooves of the Liao people, and as long as the Yellow River was in the Liao people, they would not want to go south.

The Liao people were also a little weak, worried that once they went south, they would suffer heavy losses on the Yellow River.

Especially when they learned that the Great Song Dynasty wanted the Yellow River to be diverted, the Liao people were even more panicked, and they were also worried...... If the Yellow River is really diverted, it will be even more difficult to move the army south in the future.

However, things have been reversed, and the path that was supposed to be changed suddenly did not change.

Isn't this God bless me Da Liao? The Liao people probably thought that there was an opportunity for blackmail, so they couldn't wait to threaten.

"They proposed to add two years of coins, if they refused, the Liao iron cavalry would cross the Yellow River and go straight to Bianliang, the capital division of the Great Song Dynasty.! What else do you say about herding horses south! ”

Zong Sheng was a little worried, he felt that this was a dead end.

"You can't change the route, but what if the Liao people come?"

Zong Sheng had a headache, "Chengzhi, the Liao people's request to see His Majesty was refused, and they have already spoken in the embassy, saying that they are going to go back......"

Zhao Zhen naturally couldn't see him, otherwise there would be no room for maneuver.

However, the people from the Ministry of Rites went to negotiate, but they were frightened back by a few words.

This is the lack of diplomacy of a weak country!

Zong Sheng frowned and said: "Your Majesty was furious, so he asked the Privy Council's ceremonial room to cooperate with the Ministry of Rites to negotiate again, and the result was ...... The Liao people are not even seen this time, and they are arrogant and in a mess. ”

"It's a bluff."

Qin Wei said disdainfully: "If you really want to attack, the Liao envoy should send someone back to report the news in private, instead of intimidating with great fanfare." ”

Zong Sheng smiled bitterly: "But no one dares to say that the Liao people will not take the opportunity to go south." ”

The Liao people went south, and this was the ultimate driving force that drove the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty to divert the Yellow River!

If it weren't for the death of the Northern Song Dynasty later, I'm afraid that there would be a new emperor who would take over the baton.

Qin Wei didn't dwell on this, but said a little suddenly: "But what does this have to do with our bureau?" ”
