"The two-headed snake Xie Zhen served as the deputy captain of the first battalion of the Dengyun Mountain Infantry Army, and the two-tailed scorpion Xie Bao served as the deputy captain of the second battalion of the infantry army, both of which were also responsible for recruitment."

When it comes to the Xie Zhen and Xie Bao brothers who are at the end of the ranking, it is very easy to arrange, and now the cottage has just started, and there are not many locations. Moreover, these two are younger than themselves, so they are placed under Zou Yuan and Sun Xinzhi as deputy positions, which is a good opportunity for these two to experience and learn skills.

As long as they fight, they will have a long way to go.

Xie Zhen and Xie Bao naturally knew their own position - they were young, without merit, and if they were not rescued by Zou Run, they were afraid that they would probably be killed by Wang Zheng in prison, and this result was already a blessing for them.

So the two brothers knelt directly on the ground and gave the order.

"I want to listen to my brother! Whip and kick, knives and guns do not avoid! ”

This important meeting has been held since the beginning of the day, and everyone is both excited and tired. Zou Run stretched his waist and called the little minion on duty outside the hall to ask the time.

"Lord of the village, it's the beginning of the day."

The little minion looked at the sun, replied to Zou Run, and at the same time added, "The brothers in the village have already eaten lunch, do you want to teach the room to send a banquet?" ”

The little minions didn't say anything, but as soon as they said this, the stomachs of all the leaders in the hall began to growl, like the croaking of frogs in a summer rice field, one after another, endlessly.

Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't know who it was, so they couldn't help laughing, and then laughed, and for a while, the Dengyun Mountain Gathering Hall was full of joyful atmosphere.

Immediately, Gu's sister-in-law, who was in charge of the cottage room, took office in the hall, and instructed the house to send a large portion of ready-made wine, vegetables and fruits to the generals, and first teach the leaders to quench their thirst and hunger, but the dinner party must kill pigs and sheep, boil chickens and stew geese, prepare enough wine and meat, and do a big job.

The little minion heard the words, but he still didn't move at all, but secretly looked at Zou Run, who was on the head.

Zou Run scolded with a smile:

"You rammer, you don't have long ears when you are on duty outside, and now the sister-in-law of the Gu family is the order of my East Chef of Yunshan Mountain, who dares to disobey her will, don't do it quickly."

Everyone laughed again, and the little minions took the opportunity to slip away and ran to the room to give the order without mentioning it.

After a short time, the room brought food, moved long tables and chairs, and after being neatly arranged, everyone invited Zou Run to sit down and use it first.

Zou Run was not polite, he was busy for a long time, and the original tea and snacks in his stomach had already been consumed, he beckoned everyone to sit down together, and then took the lead in eating.

Since Zou Run's three major construction plans were only barely halfway through, this meal was not a feast of eating and drinking, just a regular light meal, and after using some wine and meat staple food, Zou Run ordered people to remove cups, plates, tables and stools, and the leaders returned to their chairs to sit down and continue the meeting.

The little minion brought the tea for gargling, and seeing that everyone rinsed their mouths and wiped their mouths, Zou Run announced the official start of the meeting.

"You may have noticed that the leaders of Yang, Ruan, and Xie are all recruiting soldiers, and I will make a special explanation for this."

"Dengzhou is rich in fishing salt, gold and iron, and is close to the Liao country on the sea route, so there should be three things to recruit soldiers, one is to recruit coastal fishermen, the second is to recruit miners, and the third is to recruit Liao horses!"

Zou Run stretched out three fingers to everyone, counted them one by one, and said:

"Let's talk about the first one first, the fishermen who operate boats and boats in Dengzhou's coastal prefectures and counties don't know how many, but they are the best source of naval troops, Brother Ruan, and take out the bearing of waiting in Shijie Lake, how many suitable minions can be recruited depends on your own ability."

Erruan smiled, they never felt the slightest pressure on this errand, without him, they were familiar with it.

The two immediately patted their chests and said, "As long as Brother Zou Yuan is willing to pay for food and money, my brother will take care of the recruitment of the navy!" ”

Zou Yuan, who has always been detached, was cheeky when he heard this, his eldest nephew's mouth was two thousand sailors, which was a huge amount of money and food, although he understood the necessity of this, but he really felt a lot of pressure, and in the face of the ridicule of the Ruan brothers, he could only smile bitterly and nodded, but he didn't dare to pack the ticket.

Fortunately, Zou Run spoke again.

"Second, there are many gold and iron mines in Dengzhou, today's imperial court taxes and fees are heavy, and many miners live in hardship.

In later generations, the famous Qi Jiajun was an army of volunteer miners, Zou Run had long been coveted by the miners in Dengzhou for a long time, and this time he said that he would also pull out a team of miners of several hundred people, and he also gave Xie Zhen and Xie Bao a specific number of tasks.

"The number of miners recruited by you must not be less than two hundred! It is limited to one hundred, and those who are less than this number will be punished! Those who are higher than this number will be rewarded! ”

The owner of the village strictly ordered, who would dare not obey?

Even if he wondered why the owner of the village liked to blacken the dirty miners who did not slip into the gang, Xie Zhen and Xie Bao naturally did not dare to question it, so he had to obediently come out to receive the order.

The military stick was the head, and the two of them planned to turn around and go to the mines in various mountains to pull people's heads.

After saying the first two points, when it was his turn to say the third point, Zou Run's deep gaze fell on Yang Lin.

Zou Run knew that Yang Lin had a heavy burden, selling illicit salt, purchasing supplies, collecting intelligence, and recruiting troops, any of which was enough for a leader to work alone. But there is no way, there is a shortage of talents at the moment, so I can only suffer this good brother anymore.

"Brother Yang Lin often travels back and forth to Liao to buy all kinds of materials, and now the cottage water and the second infantry army have set up a shelf, but only the cavalry is really poor, called the cavalry army, in fact, it can only do the scout sentry detectives, and when it comes to the cavalry housekeeping skills such as cavalry and shooting, it can be said that it is commonplace."

Before he finished speaking, Deng Fei had already lowered his head in shame, and his purple begon-colored face directly turned the color of pig liver, but Zou Run and the others did not blame him for this.

The reason is very simple, not to mention Deng Fei, an amateur, in the entire Great Song Army, there is not a cavalry that can handle it.

As the so-called professional things should be handed over to professional people to do, Zou Run hit the idea on the head of the Liao cavalry, and he will inevitably touch the wolf cavalry of the Liao State in the future, so it is better to master the long skills of the army to control the army.

So the major matter of recruiting professional cavalry from Liao to train his own cavalry was handed over to Yang Lin, who often went to Liao to engage in smuggling.

Yang Lin nodded calmly, and should have done this errand, but he knew how tricky this matter was.

The relationship between Song and Liao was not as beautiful as simply recorded in the history books, and under the surface of flowers and brocade and cooking oil, there was a wrestle between the two countries, the hostility between the scholars and doctors of the two countries, and the hatred between the people of the two countries.

The Liao State refused to recognize the status of the Northern Song Dynasty as the unification of the Central Plains, and openly referred to the Southern Dynasty in the State Letter, while the scholars of the Song State referred to the entire Liao State as Diyi—a title that also included the class of scholars and scholars who read poetry and books in the Liao State.

Against this background, the people of the two countries naturally hate each other, and rashly recruit cavalry from the Liao State to climb Yunshan.

It's like one day when North Korea suddenly announced that it would hire military instructors from South Korea to train its own military.

In other words, if Zou Run really succeeds in building an overseas country, it is fine, if it fails, Yang Lin, as the person who runs it, is likely to attract huge infamy, but Yang Lin still accepts it without hesitation, and Zou Run deeply remembers this.
