Peng Quan is physically strong, and he knows some Orion skills, so his courage is not bad. As long as he practiced, he would be a fierce soldier, and if Liu Qi saw it, he would definitely shout to be pulled into the cavalry battalion.

As for the so-called decapitation level, it is just a matter of heart.

This person, things that are too easy to get, often do not cherish.

Even if Peng Quan doesn't win anything tomorrow, Han Zhen will still be extra kind and take him under his command.

Since deciding to rebel, he has become more and more skilled in controlling people's hearts.

Maybe the identity has changed, and the perspective of looking at problems and things has naturally changed.

"Xianggong, Xianggong!"

At this moment, Li Da's voice came from outside the lobby.

Han Zhen ordered: "Let him in." ”

The next moment, Li Daben carried a wooden barrel and walked into the lobby with a smile on his face.

Glancing at the wooden barrel, Han Zhen asked knowingly, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Da said in a flattering tone: "Xianggong, today my grandson went to the beach to play naughtily, and picked up a few gerbils, which are very fat, so I want Xianggong to try it." ”

It seemed that he was worried that Han Zhen would not recognize it, so he added: "Xianggong should not look at this gerbil pickled and dirty, but it is actually delicious and tight, and it is said that it also has the effect of tonic." In the past, the officials of the salt prison loved to eat this thing the most, and if we found it on weekdays, we would sell it to the officials in exchange for a little rice. ”

Gerbil?

Han Zhen raised his eyebrows, got up and stepped forward, glancing at the barrel.

I saw that the barrel was filled with seawater, and there were four fat sea cucumbers lying at the bottom of the barrel!

Boom!

Han Zhen subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

In the end, in ancient times, such a fat wild sea cucumber is rare in later generations.

In just a moment, he had several options in mind.

"You've got a heart!"

Han Zhen smiled with satisfaction and ordered: "You are poor, and I don't want to take your things for nothing, go to the granary to get a bucket of rice grain." ”

"Thank you for the reward."

Li Da suddenly smiled.

Four sea cucumbers were exchanged for a bucket of rice grain, and both sides felt that they had made a lot of money.

After Li Da left, the monkey couldn't help but step forward, and when he saw the four slimy, soft and wriggling sea cucumbers in the wooden barrel, he couldn't help frowning: "Second Brother Han, this is ...... Can you eat this? ”

The ancients had a very low acceptance of seafood, and the vast majority of the people were very few willing to eat crabs from rice fields and river ponds.

Shen Kuo recorded such an anecdote in "Mengxi Writings": Guanzhong people don't know crabs. Someone caught a dried crab, and they were sick with malaria, so they borrowed it and hung it on the door.

At this time, because of their strange and vicious appearance, crabs are often used by the people to scare ghosts and gods.

Whoever suffers a plague or a strange disease in his house will hang a dried crab on the door.

This is true even for crabs, not to mention the variety of seafood in the sea.

Of course, not everyone doesn't eat it.

For example, Song Renzong and Ouyang Xiu are extremely fond of eating crabs.

However, the crabs they ate were different from those of later generations, either steamed or stir-fried, but chopped up, added with sugar, and marinated in morom......

Sweet crab, just thinking about it, Han Zhen, a descendant of the world, frowned.

"It's delicious, wait."

Han Zhen wanted to call the chef in the army to cook, but after hesitating, he decided to do it himself.

It's hard to eat a meal of seafood, but if the chef spoils your appetite, the gain outweighs the loss.

Since he tasted the stew made by Han Zhen himself, the monkey did not doubt his craftsmanship, since Han Zhen said that it was delicious, it would definitely not be bad.

After working for half an hour, I made three dishes with these four sea cucumbers before dark.

Chilled sea cucumber, fried sea cucumber with green onions, plus a chicken soup with sea cucumber.

In the lobby, Han Zhen beckoned, "Try it and see how it tastes." ”

As he spoke, he took the lead in holding a chopstick salad with sea cucumbers.

The sea cucumber has a crisp taste, and the acidity of the vinegar is combined with the aroma of crushed garlic and shallots, which is particularly appetizing.

The only drawback is that there is no soy sauce, which is a little bit worse.

The monkey first tasted a small bite of fried sea cucumber with green onions, and then his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took a large chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Hmm...... Delicious. ”

While eating, this guy also stretched out his thumb and praised vaguely.

After tasting them one by one, Han Zhen said with regret: "It's a pity that the seasoning is still incomplete, otherwise the taste can be better." ”

He vaguely remembered that the soy sauce came from the Song Dynasty, but it was not clear whether it was the Northern Song Dynasty or the Southern Song Dynasty.

Of course, he never thought of brewing his own soy sauce.

Although it is also a way to make money, the ancient method of brewing soy sauce can easily take a year or two, or even three or five years, how can he have that idle time.

Let the people develop it themselves.

"These dishes are already extremely delicious, and the chefs of Zhuolou in the county town are not on them."

The monkey's eyes widened, and he couldn't imagine how delicious it would have been.

The chicken soup with sea cucumber is also sweeter.

In a short time, the three dishes were eaten by the two of them.

The monkey burped, suddenly thought of something, and said with great interest: "Second Brother Han, I have found a business opportunity, the seafood is so delicious, but the inland people and big wealthy businessmen have never tasted it. If it is transported to Guanzhong, it will definitely have one more way to make money, and the fishermen on the seaside can also have one more way to live. ”

didn't think about it, but Han Zhen shook his head and said: "I can't do it, the seafood is not easy to survive without the sea." Even if a small amount of seafood survives, it won't make a lot of money. ”

If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, this sentence is not just talk.

If you want to do seafood business, you need at least three cement-paved highways in Shandong.

I don't know what happened to the progress of cement research and development on Lu Jiu's side?

Don't think that the highway is a thing of later generations, in fact, it existed as early as the pre-Qin period.

The famous Qin Straight Road is a highway built by Qin Shi Huang.

With a total length of more than 700 kilometers and a road width of 60 meters, this highway was still in use until the Qing Dynasty.

"I see."

A look of disappointment flashed in the monkey's eyes.

Seeing this, Han Zhen comforted: "You can't do it fresh, but dry goods are feasible." ”

Abalone, sea cucumbers, dried scallops, oysters including seaweed and kelp can all be made into dried goods and then shipped inland for sale.

In this way, the economy of the coastal areas can be revitalized, and the fishermen will have another way to live.

But that's all for another time.

……

……

Following.

Before the hour, Peng Quan waited in front of the salt prison early.

Unlike yesterday, today Peng Quan is wearing a dry leather on the upper half of his body, carrying a homemade bow and arrow behind his back, a simple knife hanging from his waist, and a wooden pole in his hand.

This costume is the standard dress of the martial artists in the Song Dynasty.

Some people from better families will also have an extra knife.

Whoa!

At this moment, the sound of the rubbing of metal armor leaves sounded.

Immediately after, a tall and sturdy figure walked out of the gate.

Two days ago, Han Zhen was wearing a Confucian robe, which was a little more elegant. Today, I put on a black lacquer half-body iron armor, and a breathtaking evil aura suddenly came to my face.

Peng Quan only felt that his breath was stagnant, and he involuntarily lowered his head, hugged his fists and said, "I've seen Xianggong!" ”

"Hmm."

Han Zhen bowed slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.

At this moment, the four hundred Qingzhou troops had already had breakfast, fully armed, lined up in a neat queue, and stood quietly in the open space.

This time when I came to Guangling, there were no baggage troops, and the soldiers were all lightly armed.

The troops responsible for transporting the baggage, grain and grass, as well as the craftsmen and officials, are still on the way, calculating the time, and it is estimated that it will arrive tomorrow evening.

Looking around, Han Zhen said loudly: "Qiao Liu! ”

"The last general!"

A strong man stepped forward and responded with his fists clenched.

Qiao Liu was also a former member of the Western Army, and at first he had been serving as an instructor in the army, teaching soldiers to recognize the golden drum and distinguish the battle flag.

Now that it's quite effective, there is no need for him to be an instructor all the time.

Wei Da's gang of deserters, not to mention that they are all talents, but they are all veterans of a hundred battles, and they have been fighting with the Western Xia people for more than ten years.

The reason why he has not been promoted for a long time is because his military exploits have been robbed every time.

This kind of thing is very common in the Great Song Army, and the sons and daughters of the generals in Tokyo City are doing military exploits in different ways.

If you are particular, you will spend money to buy it.

After getting the money, the soldiers who were robbed of merit would not say anything.

If you don't pay attention to it, you won't be bothered to get a penny, and you will directly take it by force.

Wei Da was robbed because of Nie Dong's military exploits, and he was angry to find a theory of joining the army, but he was accused of disrespecting his superiors, beaten the board, and in a fit of anger, he took his brothers to become deserters.

Even fierce people like Han Shizhong have been robbed of their military exploits several times.

The most outrageous time was when he was in the southern expedition to Fang La, and the credit for capturing Fang La alive was snatched away by Xin Xingzong in front of him.

Fortunately, Han Shizhong had nobles to help, and Yang Weizhong couldn't see it, so he explained the matter to Song Huizong.

……

The importance of Guangling is self-evident, in addition to arranging monkeys to manage here, Han Zhen even enabled Qiao Liu to lead troops to guard.

These two can be called confidants.

Replaced by others, one is ability, and the other is that Han Zhen may not be trustworthy.

Han Zhen ordered: "Leave five squads to guard the salt prison, and order you to lead the rest of the soldiers and follow me into the mountains to suppress the bandits!" ”

"Order!"

Qiao Liuda roared, his eyes full of excitement.

I've been working as an instructor all this time, but I've suffocated him.

Especially looking at the brothers Nie Dong, Xiao Wu, and Lao Jiu, killing the enemy with blood, and getting rewarded and promoted one by one, I was really envious.

Now, I've finally waited for my chance.

"Let's go!"

Han Zhen rode on his war horse and waved his hand.

Peng Quan followed at the end of the line, looking at the neatly paced army, only to feel his heart surging.

looked at the soldiers around him again, with a smile on the corner of his mouth and joy in his eyes.

Seeing this scene, he wondered: "Brother, there is going to be a war, why are you still so happy?" ”

"You know a lot."

The soldier glanced at him with contempt and explained, "It's good to fight." Only when there is a war can there be military merits, and if there are military merits, there will be rewards. Otherwise, just relying on the 500 yuan a month, when will I be able to build a brick house for my home, and when will I be able to buy ploughing cattle? ”

Brick houses, ploughing cattle?

Peng Quan swallowed his saliva and asked in a low voice, "How much is the reward in the army?" ”

The soldier looked wary: "Why are you asking this?" ”

Peng Quan replied truthfully: "Don't hide it from my brother, I plan to defect to Xianggong, just behead one level, and Xianggong will accept me." ”

Hearing this, the soldier said: "There are four rewards for beheading, and there are other rewards for ascending, ambushing, and capturing the enemy's head, and if it is an officer, an additional reward will be given according to the size of the official position." ”

After thinking about it in his heart, Peng Quan was surprised: "In this way, a big war, wouldn't it cost tens of thousands of yuan to be paid?" ”

"Huh!"

The soldier scoffed, but did not answer.

Haven't seen the world!

Tens of thousands of runs, tens of millions of runs, I have seen them.

The other party's posture, Peng Quan was not annoyed.

Since yesterday, he had discovered that these big-headed soldiers were very arrogant, and treated them salt farmers with a condescending sense of superiority.

This sense of superiority is not reflected in words, in fact, they speak quite politely, but hidden in some inadvertent details.

An hour later, it approached Dawu Mountain.

Looking at the mountain in front of him, Han Zhen ordered: "Hatred of the bull, lead the scout team into the mountain first to solve the secret outpost arranged by the Dare Blazing Army." The rest of the people waited and rested in place. ”

"Order!"

After the bull responded, he led the scout team into the grass, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

This latent method was surprising to see Peng Quan.

Seeing that the soldiers were sitting cross-legged on the ground, he also sat down.

As time passed, Peng Quan's heart became more and more worried.

Fighting is different from hunting, and there are thousands of people in the Dare Army.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Brother, when will our reinforcements arrive?" ”

"Reinforcements?"

The soldier was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Where are the reinforcements?" ”

Peng Quan was startled and swallowed: "Just ...... Is it just about 300 of us? ”

He had always thought that there would be reinforcements, but who would have thought that there would be only so many people from beginning to end.

The soldier smiled: "It's just a dare to blaze the army, how many more people do you want." ”

"Hahahaha!"

When the other soldiers heard this, they also laughed.

Self-confidence, extremely strong self-confidence.

About a quarter of an hour later, the evil bull returned, and there was a faint smell of blood all over his body.

"The county magistrate, the spies set up at the foot of the mountain have all been eliminated."

"Hmm."

Han Zhen nodded, got up and said, "Qiao Liu, you lead two hundred soldiers to go around the back of the mountain, take three birdsong as a signal, and immediately start when you hear the birdsong." Peng Quan, you go and show them the way. ”

To deal with these daring troops, you don't need to use any tactics, just push sideways.

It only needs to be flanked in front and back, in order to prevent a large number of daring troops from escaping.

These daring soldiers, in Han Zhen's eyes, are all good servants for building a town.

"The last general obeys!"

Qiao Liu laughed fiercely, the killing intent in his eyes was high, and after ordering the soldiers, he went into the dense forest in the mountains.

After waiting for another moment, Han Zhen got up and said, "Let's go, break the enemy!" ”

Although there is a big character in Dawu Mountain, it is actually not big, there is only one main peak, which is no more than 200 meters high.

It's just that the mountain is a little narrow, and from a distance, it looks like an eaves.

Under the leadership of Qiu Niu, more than 140 people walked through the dense forest, and soon came to the foot of the mountain.

Through the gaps in the branches and leaves, a large grass hut can be seen halfway up the mountainside.

"Crossbow!"

Han Zhen made a gesture, and the soldiers behind him took off the strong crossbows on their waists one after another, and wound their arrows.

Then, under the leadership of Han Zhen, he approached the mountainside step by step.

When they were about a hundred paces away from the mountainside, the crowd stopped.

Further on, you will be spotted by the sentinel on the mountainside.

Han Zhen turned his head and made a look, and the evil bull immediately understood, and raised his hands to put them in the shape of trumpets to his mouth.

"Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo! ”

Three crisp and loud birdsongs, echoing in the dense forest.

"Kill!"

The next moment, there was a shout of killing behind the mountainside.

"Break the enemy!"

Han Zhen let out a loud shout and took the lead in rushing to the mountainside.

The sudden shouting of killing suddenly made the daring soldiers on the mountainside panic.

After the Dare Blazing Army, who was in charge of the duty difference, reacted, he held a Pu knife and spear, and was preparing to meet the enemy.

Whoosh!

There was a sound of cloth tearing.

A volley of powerful crossbows immediately fell dozens of daring soldiers.

After shooting an arrow, Han Zhen hung the crossbow back on his waist, drew his knife, and rushed into the cottage of the Dare Blazing Army.

Han Zhen, who rushed into the crowd, was like a tiger descending from the mountain, and after kicking the oncoming Dare Blazing Army, he waved his hand knife and cut off the head of another Dare Blazing Army.

The war started as quickly as it began and ended as quickly as it ended.

Before Peng Quan could react, it was already completely over.

With only one salvo and a wave of charges, more than a thousand daring troops collapsed, and when the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army shouted that the surrenderer would not be killed, the ground immediately fell to its knees.

I...... I haven't killed the enemy yet!

Peng Quan looked at the bow and arrow in his hand, and then at the black prisoner of war, wanting to cry without tears.

thought it was a bloody battle, but it turned out that these daring soldiers who were still showing off their might and doing their might were like lambs at the moment.

Such a fight is not even a warm-up exercise for Han Zhen.

Shaking off the blood stains on the knife, he said in a loud voice: "Qiao Liu, collect the blades, count the wounded and prisoners of war." ”

"Order!"

Qiao Liuliu replied loudly.

While Qiao Liu was counting, Han Zhen walked around the cottage.

It is said to be a cottage, but in fact it is no different from a refugee camp, dirty and smelly.

If it weren't for Han Zhen leading the troops to clear the money, it is estimated that it would not take a few days, and under the lack of food and clothing, they would most likely go down the mountain to plunder.

Not long after, Qiao Liuyu reported: "County magistrate, my Qingzhou army has not suffered any casualties, killed one hundred and eighty-three enemies, and captured one thousand two hundred and five!" ”

"Let these prisoners of war identify the bandit leaders and big and small leaders, and after killing them, the rest will be brought back!"

Han Zhen said it lightly, but in the ears of the prisoners of war of the Dare Blazing Army, his heart was shocked.

At this moment, a prisoner of war crouched on the edge quickly stood up and rushed towards the forest below.

This person must be a leader, after hearing Han Zhen's words, he knew that he couldn't live, so it was better to gamble.

Seeing this scene, Peng Quan was overjoyed and hurriedly pulled his bow and arrows.

His eyes were fixed on the running prisoners, and he jerked out of his right hand that pulled the string.

Sou!

Homemade feathered arrows flew out and struck the leader's thigh with precision.

Under the pain, the leader let out a miserable scream, and the whole person fell to the ground, falling and eating.

When an arrow hit, Peng Quan hurriedly dropped his bow and arrow, drew out the Pu knife at his waist and rushed over.

"Xianggong, Xianggong, I killed the enemy!"

Soon, Peng Quan returned.

I saw that he was covered in blood, carrying a human in his hand, and his expression was excited.

Han Zhen smiled slightly: "Just cut off your left ear in the future!" ”

Peng Quan heard the meaning of his words, and said with great joy: "I know! ”

Poof!

Screams and slaughter rang out one after another.

After beheading all the big and small leaders on the spot, Han Zhen waved his hand and escorted more than 1,000 prisoners of war down the mountain.

……

After dealing with the Dare Blazing Army in Dawu Mountain, Han Zhen did not return to the county seat immediately.

Instead, he stayed for two more days, and waited until the logistics baggage troops arrived and gave another explanation, and then they took the way home.

……

……

"That's nonsense!"

In the political hall, Wang Hao looked at the fold in his hand and was furious.

A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of Zhang Bangchang, who was the waiter of the Chinese book at the time, and asked quietly: "Why is the king angry?" ”

"See for yourself."

Wang Hao's anger did not subside, and he slapped the fold on the table.

Zhang Bangchang took a step forward, and after picking up the fold, he first glanced at the signature.

Uncle Zhang?

Looking at the content of the excerpt again, a trace of horror flashed in his eyes: "Zhao Ting is a thief? ”

It's no wonder he was so surprised, just because Uncle Zhang said in the excerpt that a large number of cowhide horns, grain and pig iron and other materials have been transported into Qingzhou in the past two months, he deduced that Qingzhou is very likely to be occupied by thieves, and Zhao Ting, the governor of the city, is suspected of being a thief!

If this is true, its shock is even worse than the rebellion of Fang La.

It's not because Qingzhou was occupied, but because Zhao Ting surrendered to thieves!

Zhao Tingnai is an official of the fifth grade of the imperial court, the governor of a state, such a foreign member of the imperial court has voted for a thief, and the news will definitely shake the world.

You must know that since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for scholars to surrender to thieves.

Even if Fang La rebelled vigorously and defeated so many states and counties, no official defected to the thief.

Zhang Yuan, who voted for Western Xia, is just a tried-and-tested person, not even a jinshi, let alone a scholar.

Strictly speaking, only officials who are above the fifth grade can be called sergeants.

Qipinzhi County like Changzhi County is not considered at all.

The so-called seven-grade sesame official is such a truth.
