Chapter Twenty-Nine: She Wants to Recruit Private Soldiers

"I don't know how many of these weapons there are in the county lord?"

Asked by Yue Fei about the number, the smile on Zhao Yingluo's face disappeared instantly, "The production process of the fire gun is complicated, and it took six months from the design to the completion of this one, if the general wants to ration the army on a large scale, I am afraid it will be very difficult." ”

"It's a pity ......"

"But the general does not have to be disappointed, if the manufacturing process is mature, more than 1,000 pieces can be made within a year, and this one will be given to the general in case of emergency."

After hearing this, Yue Fei took the firearm with joy and decided to shoot it too, but he seemed to overestimate himself a little, and after the second pig was let go, he fired three shots in a row, and the pig was still alive.

Zhao Yingluo had no choice but to teach him in detail how to put on gunpowder buckshot, how to aim, and how to judge the flight trajectory of the projectile according to the wind direction.

After a few tosses, Yue Fei finally hit the pig with the second shot, and he was a little excited.

"The county lord gave such a precious gift, but the last general is a little ashamed."

"The general deserves to kill the enemy for the country, in addition to coming to the military camp to see it, I also have something I want to ask the general."

"The county lord said it was okay."

"There are a lot of people here, and we still talk in the house."

Seeing that Zhao Yingluo was so solemn, Yue Feixuan welcomed her into the camp again and dismissed her subordinates, "There are no six ears here, the county lord may ask." ”

Zhao Yingluo raised her eyebrows and said with a light smile, "I want to recruit private soldiers, I don't know what the general's good plan is?" ”

Yue Fei was taken aback! He never thought that the county lord would actually ask about recruiting private soldiers, "According to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, it is a big crime to recruit soldiers privately!" ”

"I naturally know, that's why I will consult the general."

Yue Fei was suspicious in his heart, now that the old general of the sect has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and the county lord wants to recruit private soldiers again, is there any rebellion?

As if seeing through Yue Fei's doubts, Zhao Yingluo said unhurriedly, "Now that I am sitting on millions of wealth, if I don't recruit private soldiers, once the Jin people attack Tokyo, these properties will turn into ashes, so I want to recruit private soldiers, one to protect my family, and the other to defend the country." ”

After listening to Zhao Yingluo's explanation, a trace of embarrassment flashed on Yue Fei's face, he was confused, the old general was loyal and patriotic, how could he rebel?

"If the county lord wants to recruit private soldiers, there are two ways, the first is to recruit the grass robbers in the north of the An'an River. After the fall of Hebei, the Hebei Righteous Army and the Hebei Caokou were mixed together, and if the Caokou could be recruited, the Hebei Righteous Army could go all out to deal with the Jinren. Second, the county lord recruited An Caokou meritoriously, how could he punish him? It's just that this first one has pros and cons. ”

"I want to hear about it."

"The advantageous place is that it is easy to form combat power, although the overall combat power of the grass and the like is not as good as that of the regular army of the imperial court, but they are also living a life of licking blood from the knife edge, and their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated."

"What about the drawbacks?"

"The grass is gathered for profit, and if it is not profitable, it is not easy to control."

Zhao Yingluo secretly praised, his explanation was similar to what he thought in his heart, it seemed that he really found the right one for Yue Fei, "What about the second one?" ”

Yue Fei paused for a moment, and said thoughtfully, "This second one is to recruit troops from those peasant households controlled by the county lord or from the homeless people, of course, it can be called the Grange Security Team to the outside world. ”

Zhao Yingluo followed his words and said, "The advantage is that you have been cultivating from the beginning, and you are more loyal to me, but the disadvantage is that it takes a long time to form combat power, am I right?" ”

"The county lord is extremely intelligent, and the general will admire it."

"The general has a good reputation, listening to the general's words, I will be stunned, I will say goodbye today, and invite the general to the mansion as a guest on the other day."

After achieving her goal, Zhao Yingluo was about to say goodbye, but she broke into the house with two boys, the eldest was eleven or twelve years old, and the younger one was three or four years old.

The two of them ran in one after the other, and didn't notice Zhao Yingluo who was about to go out, the big one was okay, when Kankan was about to hit her, one dodged and dodged it, but because of the unstable center of gravity, he knocked over some tables and chairs next to him.

The small one hit Zhao Yingluo directly, and then was rebounded and was about to fall backwards, Zhao Yingluo reached out and fished out, and when the back of his head was about to touch the floor, he fished it back, and then picked it up.

The little baby was frightened and immediately cried.

Seeing this, Yue Fei hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, hugged and coaxed it a few times, and the little baby's crying gradually stopped.

"These two children are ......"

Yue Fei said apologetically while coaxing the baby, "They are the two sons of the last general, the eldest is called Yue Yun, and the younger one is called Yue Lei. ”

After he apologized, he turned around and yelled at Yue Yun again, "You have caused such a big disaster, and you can't come and kowtow to the county lord to ask for forgiveness." ”

Yue Yun muttered while kneeling a little reluctantly, "Er didn't mean to collide with her." ”

Seeing that he still didn't admit his mistake, Yue Fei's voice raised a few points, "Rebel, do you still dare to talk back?" ”

It didn't matter what he roared, it scared Yue Lei and burst into tears, and this howl made Yue Fei scramble.

Seeing this, Zhao Yingluo reached into her sleeve cage, took out a white rabbit toffee from her desk drawer in another dimension, and shook it in front of him with a smile.

"Little Lei Lei is good, look what is this?"

The three-year-old baby was curious, and when she saw the toffee in Zhao Yingluo's hand, she immediately stopped crying, "This...... This one...... What is this? ”

"This one, it's called toffee, it's sweet."

Zhao Yingluo said as she removed the carafe wrapper and put it in his fleshy hands.

Before Yue Fei could stop it, Yue Lei stuffed it into his mouth, and after instigating Luo Luo to take two bites, his eyes lit up, "This candy is delicious!" ”

"It's delicious! I can give you another one, but we have to make a pact, you are a little man, and you can't just cry in the future. ”

Xiao Yuelei nodded as if he didn't understand, a fleshy face was chubby, it was really cute.

But Yue Yun was different, although he was only twelve years old, his height was almost the same as her, and his precocious face had endured a lot of wind and frost.

has been in the military camp with his father for a long time, and it seems that he has suffered a lot.

"Is the eldest lady also in the army? Why don't you see the big lady? Zhao Yingluo asked with some curiosity.

Seeing her mention her wife, Yue Fei sighed, "I have been fighting outside all the year round, and the Liu family couldn't bear the loneliness and remarried." ”

Zhao Yingluo was embarrassed, and she remembered that Yue Fei's original wife in the TV series in later generations did remarry and remarried to a military general under Han Shizhong.

Later, Han Shizhong planned to return the Liu family, but Yue Fei refused, and then met his second wife.

Judging from the current plot, Yue Fei should not have met that smart, virtuous, courageous and knowledgeable Li Wa.

"Forgive my offense, I really don't know the general's ......"

Yue Fei waved his hand, "It's okay!" ”

After teasing Xiao Yuelei for a while, Zhao Yingluo took her leave, returned to the mansion and began to prepare for the recruitment of private soldiers.

Since there are pros and cons to recruiting private soldiers from the peasant households and recruiting grass robbers, why not do both? Recruit the grass to strengthen their own strength, recruit private soldiers to cultivate loyalty.
