Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 139 The new army rides the waves straight

In September, the weather began to turn cold, and the dawn was getting later and later.

Shi Congyun has been busy by the Bian River for the past few days, barely touching the ground. Most of the time he lives directly in Daying, but as long as he has a chance, he will go home and sleep for a night.

After all, there is Zhao Shijian at home. At the age of sixteen or seventeen, it is the time when diamond iron drills, how can I bear it.

At night, Zhao Shijian would also tell him about the day's affairs.

Because of the existence of Fu Er, it is not easy for him to go to Wei Wang's mansion as a male, so Gu Ying and Zhao Shijian have always gone there for Zhang Luohe.

This kind of worldly marriage will try to be as simple as possible, and the set of rules of three letters and six rituals cannot be fully implemented. If you really follow the set, maybe Shi Congyun will go to the battlefield again.

After returning from Huainan this time, the Fu family unexpectedly agreed to keep everything simple, but the letter of appointment, letter of ceremony, and letter of welcome still had to be prepared, and the gifts that should be sent over were also indispensable.

These are all done by the aunt Gu Ying, and Zhao Shijian is mostly responsible for the implementation.

The three books were also written with the help of Zhao Shijian. The historian is not a big family and has no talent background. He has only made a fortune in the past few years because of his military exploits. There are really few people who understand those. up.

Fortunately, today's ethos is not so particular. The world is in chaos, and the emperor changes every few years. Except for a few pedantic people, no one will hold on to those things.

"Miss Fu Liu is cute and good-looking, well-educated and sensible, but she is a very sensible lady." At night, Zhao Shijian whispered to Shi Congyun in his arms about the things in Fufu.

"I think it might be that the queen's attitude has changed. At the beginning of the year, my mother and I went to them and they said that we should follow the rules. The Fu family is a high-ranking family with a good reputation. They want to marry with three letters and six rites.

In the autumn, the tone changed, saying that they were all from a family of generals, so there was no need to pay so much attention, and the three books and six ceremonies could be kept simple, mainly because the two families formed a good relationship between Qin and Jin. "

Shi Congyun nodded. He didn't know the Queen's feelings and inner thoughts after witnessing the Zhengyang War, but he just thought it was very real.

"Because now my father is the commander of the guards and Ma Jundu, and I am the commander of the deputy capital in front of the palace. There are ten senior officials of the two divisions, and our historians occupy two. They naturally let go. They are all very realistic. We have They don't dare to impose conditions on them because of their strength." Shi Congyun said and hugged Zhao Shijian tighter.

The two most beautiful people he has seen are Empress Fu and Zhao Shijian who caught a glimpse of him. If Empress Fu is a dignified and beautiful peony, Zhao Shijian is an orchid that is left alone in the world, and holding him in his arms can make him calm to think about things.

"You are right, but not all of them. Sometimes they depend on each other." The little girl said in a low voice, "Maybe Empress Fu also needs important ministers she can rely on."

"She's the queen." Shi Congyun frowned, thinking about what Zhao Shijian said, maybe it was indeed reasonable.

"She has been married to the official family for several years but has no children." Shi Congyun also frowned, thinking this way, he suddenly realized that maybe although Empress Fu is aloof and has the Fu family behind her, life is not as easy as he thought .

"You are really my baby." Shi Congyun hugged Zhao Shijian and kissed him.

"There were three sons before the official family, all of whom were killed by Emperor Yin of the Later Han Dynasty." This at least shows that Guo Rong is in good health, and one year before the Battle of Gaoping, Guo Rong was still in Chanzhou and gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, Guo Zongxun .

When Shi Congyun looked through the history books in his previous life, he was very puzzled. Why there is no record of Guo Zongxun’s birth mother in the old and new Five Dynasties history. It stands to reason that he was an emperor. Who is the birth mother should be clearly recorded. Why? It's as if his life is unknown.

Now he has heard some rumors.

Guo Zongxun seems to have been born to a woman next to him when the official family was in Chanzhou.

At that time, the wives and children of the official family were all beheaded and killed by Emperor Yin of the Later Han Dynasty in Daliang because of their rebellion. Naturally, such a single male was very important.

But because the identity of Guo Zongxun's birth mother is easy to be inappropriate, so the matter is not allowed to be disclosed publicly, and ministers dare not discuss it.

This may be the reason why the history books kept silent about Guo Zongxun's biological mother.If there were flaws in Guo Zongxun's life experience, Zhao Kuangyin who was abdicated by him and the later Zhao Song Dynasty would also be legally untenable.

Adding up these things, Shi Congyun also drew a conclusion, that is, Queen Fu's situation doesn't seem to be that good.

Married to the official family for so many years without any children, either the official family and Cao Mengde are not of the same kind, or she has a physical problem, no matter what, it is very terrible.

She was married once, and marrying the official family was also the intention of Xianjun Guo Wei. The political meaning is very obvious, that is, to win over the Fu family and reject Khitan at the North Gate.

Now that Guo Wei is dead, there is Li Yun in the north. Later, Han Tong, Wang Yanchao and others proved that they can also resist the Khitan, and the status of the Fu family is slowly declining.
"Maybe they really depend on each other," Shi Congyun said.

Zhao Shijian thought for a while: "Why don't I say something probing?"

"Can you see the Queen?"

"Sometimes the queen will go there too, but there are many rules for going out of the palace. I have only seen it once, and I will definitely see it when the matter is settled."

Shi Congyun nodded, "What are you testing, don't annoy them."

"I'll be careful. If you're nervous about Huainan, the queen might be too. In this way, she might be more anxious to find something to rely on when she's nervous."

He didn't even think about it, and said directly: "You can figure it out." There is no faction, and the only reliance is his Zhao Shijian, Shi Congyun, so he is very relieved.

"But you actually lied to me. You have seen the queen, and you asked me if the queen is pretty. You have learned how to make up your husband." Shi Congyun said.

Zhao Shijian reacted and said that he had slipped his tongue, his little face flushed, he burrowed into the quilt like an ostrich, and covered his face with the quilt.

"Hey, okay, my husband will punish you well." Shi Congyun whispered an order in her ear as he spoke, "Get out of bed, put on your jacket and skirt, don't catch cold, hold the window, I will let you in from behind grab your hair."

Zhao Shijian's face was so red that it dripped water, and his snow-white and slender neck was also stained pink, but he reluctantly did so under his urging, carefully sticking out his slender jade legs.

"Turn off the lights." She finally begged softly.

Shi Congyun said indifferently: "Anyway, there are only the two of us in the yard, so what are you afraid of?"

Zhao Shijian was furious, and turned his head to stare at him, with mist in his eyes.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Shi Congyun knew that Zhao Shijian's character was very unyielding, and this was her last insistence. If she didn't agree, she would definitely not let herself get what she wanted.

So I agreed to her small, self-deceiving request, but the autumn moon is bright, the whole small courtyard is illuminated very brightly, and the bright moonlight streams in from the window, and everything can be seen clearly
At the beginning of October, Zhang Yongde and Wang Shenqi on the front line had rushed to repair the pontoon bridge in Xiacai according to Shi Congyun's method.

Lin Renzhao later launched another attack with a navy to burn the pontoon bridge. As a result, the ships were blocked several miles downstream and could not approach.

Afterwards, Shi Congyun led Si Chao and Pan Mei to march south along the Bian River with great fanfare. There were more than 200 ships, and there were many masts in the river, spreading into a long dragon.

Shi Congyun also ordered people to release news along the way. They were ordered to go south along Sishui to go to Songzhou, attack Sizhou, and cut off the retreat of the Southern Tang army in Haozhou.

The news spread widely, and the Southern Tang side must have also got the news, so they dared not send the water army to the west to attack Xiacai, but let the water army patrol around Sizhou and Weikou to prevent the large Zhou Shuijun, this deterrence can be said to kill two birds with one stone. It can not only train soldiers, but also make Nan Tang dare not easily send out the water army to capture Cai Fuqiao.

After receiving the battle report from the South, the privy envoy Wei Renpu praised him several times without hesitation, and Wang Pu also nodded with a smile on his face.

The officials rewarded him with another twenty catties of gold, and some tribute mountain treasures from Liaodong.

At the beginning of November, the officials couldn't wait to inspect the navy at Bianshui camp, because although the war in Huainan was stable, the overall situation was gradually unfavorable to Zhou, and the counterattack of the Southern Tang Dynasty became more and more effective.

The officials couldn't wait to increase their troops in Huainan, and even marched in person again.

On the same day, in the army where the official family went with Wei Renpu, the carriage was parked by the Bian River, followed by more than 20 guards and four eunuchs.

The flag-raising ceremony happened to be held on the first day of the lunar new year. After Shi Congyun got the news, he handed over the matter to Si Chao and Pan Mei to preside over it, and hurried to greet him at the gate of the camp.

After he went, Guo Rong saw him coming alone, and said: "I came to inspect the water army in advance, and you will not be the only one, so you go and let the army line up."

Shi Congyun nodded, although he was a little surprised, he went to gather his troops immediately.

After Guo Rong boarded the general platform, all the soldiers cheered up when they heard that the emperor was coming, and some people stood on tiptoe curiously and looked forward, wanting to see what the emperor looked like.

However, after several months of training, Shi Congyun communicated tirelessly with them battalion by battalion, instilling ideals, and now it is not what it used to be. Fighting, standing quietly on the school field in front of the general's platform, only hearing the wind.

This kind of silence is daunting to watch.

Guo Rong stood at the front of the platform, Shi Congyun and Wei Renpu were half a step behind him.

Probably he himself didn't expect it to start like this, or he was shocked by the silence of the school grounds, so he didn't speak for a while, and was quiet for a long time.

This silence lasted for about a quarter of an hour.The officials did not move, and Shi Congyun and Wei Renpu did not dare to move behind them. The soldiers below also had similar training. When they were in formation, soldiers were sometimes required to maintain a standing or kneeling position, or lie down for a long time without moving. Military posture training for later generations.

In short, there were no orders on the school field below, and the army was even more quiet, with no movement at all, only the military flags on the surrounding fences flapping in the wind could be heard.

In the end, it was the official who spoke first, and he smiled and said: "Okay! Shi Congyun, you are also a good soldier in training, what a great army, I feel relieved seeing this!"

"Thank you for the compliment!" Shi Congyun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, all the armies have been camped in an array, passing in front of the general's platform one by one, shouting long live, and being inspected by Guo Rong.

It stands to reason that every time Guo Rong inspected the army before, Guo Rong drove a car to inspect the well-arranged army.

Because there are too many people, the front and rear vision is limited, it is not easy to command, and the team will be chaotic when walking, so the soldiers are all in line, and the officials patrol the army on the frame. The soldiers shouted long live when they saw the officials. .

This process has happened several times before, and Guo Rong attaches great importance to the army, and will patrol the forbidden army from time to time.

But the army here is different. After months of unremitting trust training by Shi Congyun, the tacit understanding and trust of the soldiers are gradually being cultivated, allowing them to go from battalion to battalion. They can completely avoid chaos and adjust their positions. , align with surrounding comrades, and cooperate with each other.

This kind of independent cooperation has extraordinary significance in the era of cold weapons.

Guo Rong stood on the stage and watched more and more excited. Even Shi Congyun's courteous offer to bring him a chair was rejected, and the officials decided to stand and watch.

Every time a soldier walked past the general stage and shouted long live, he would nod in response.

After more than half an hour, all the soldiers of the battalion walked again, and under the command of Si Chao and Pan Mei, they gathered at the other end, and the officials still had some ideas.

Turning back to him, he said, "I didn't expect that you could train them like this in only three or four months." As he spoke, he walked off the platform and walked slowly on the sandy school grounds. Shi Congyun hurriedly followed, Dozens of people followed behind.

"In the spring of Huainan, I realized that it would be difficult to fight without a navy, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult.

I thought everything was going well, but I didn't expect that there would be Liu Renshan and Lin Renzhao. "The officials said that the tone of these two people was a lot more serious, which shows the hatred in their hearts.

Indeed, without Liu Renshan standing there and fighting back, Huainan would have belonged to Zhou Jun long ago.

"Someone is willing to capture these two thieves for the officials!" Shi Congyun immediately cupped his hands.

The official nodded: "I am very happy that you have such ambition. Train well. I will tell you that you will go south again soon. The situation over there can't wait."

Shi Congyun's heart skipped a beat. This time he was leading the troops trained by himself, and he felt different and more confident: "Despite the orders from the officials, I will not hesitate to do so."

Officials did not comment on his words of loyalty.

"Originally, I thought this army would only be used for a while, and it would be incorporated into other armies in the future. Today, it seems that it is a pity that such a well-trained army will be dispersed later. It is no problem to form a new army. It is under the jurisdiction of the front of the palace. .” The official said as he walked.

Shi Congyun was overjoyed when he heard this!
Once the newly formed army has an organization, this army can exist for a long time, and it is different from the local organization army. The commander in front of the hall is the organization of the Central Forbidden Army, so he has a lot of capital!
Wei Renpu also nodded: "Foresight from the officials, I have a few naval forces in my dynasty. I think that naval forces are indispensable in order to pacify the world. Hebei, Huainan, and the Yangtze River to the south have not been pacified. It is necessary to establish a permanent naval force." .”

"Think about it, what name should you use?"

When Guo Rong spoke like this, he must have already finalized the matter in his heart. Shi Congyun was so excited that he quietly clenched his fists, but on the surface, he said, "I don't have much literary talent, so Mr. Wei should do it."

"Hehe, Shi Jieshuai, don't be modest. Wang Pu even exaggerated your literary talent." Wei Renpu laughed, but he was not entangled in Shi Congyun's literary talent. He paced and thought, and said after a while: "The official family, since it is a navy, it is taken as the meaning of the official family riding the wind and breaking the waves, and it is called how to break the waves."

The official nodded slightly after hearing this, "The implication is good, but it's a bit short, it's called Yu Langzhi."

Everyone worships and praises him.

On that day, the water army on the Bian River was officially named Yulangzhi by the officials, and was incorporated into the army of the Dianqian Division. According to the establishment of the Privy Council, the entire army had [-] soldiers, with a total of five armies and [-] auxiliary soldiers. Set up two armies.

When this matter is implemented, the happiest person is Shi Congyun. This is his most "direct" army!
