Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1180 Let's go!

The beating of the drums is heart-pounding.

Outside the Dingding gate, tens of thousands of soldiers trotted all the way to stand in the open space.

The spring rain is falling, and it is gradually pouring down.

The strong wind blew, and the rain was blowing against the face by the wind, which almost made people unable to open their eyes.

Drops of water hang on the nail leaves, dripping down.After a while, the mud under the feet became soft.

Regardless of the dissuasion of his ministers, Shao Shude rode his horse to the front of the battle.

I thought it was a sunny day, but unexpectedly it rained suddenly, which caught people off guard.

Seeing that the saint was not sheltered from the wind and rain, the sergeants were all dressed in military uniforms to review the troops, all of them raised their heads high and their morale was high.

Daxia man, come and go in the wind and rain, eat ice and lie on the snow, fight bravely, have you ever frowned once?
Shao Shude walked by one after another.

The soldiers of the Imperial Army stood in silence for a long time without making any noise or showing any signs of impatience, which made him very satisfied.Reminiscent of the performance of the Tutuan villagers who went up to the building yesterday, it is simply a difference between clouds and mud.

After the reward was announced, the sergeants cheered in unison again in unison.

My athlete, Shao Shude laughed, at least he is still able to fight now, and he is still a strong army in the world. I hope the second generation can maintain it.

He thought of Zhu Quanzhong's second-generation soldiers in later generations.

In the fourth year of Kaiping in the Later Liang Dynasty (910), Liang general Han Qing led 3 people to fight against Jin soldiers.After Zhou Dewei observed the situation of the army, he asked Li Cunzhang to lecture the soldiers: "Do you see this bandit army? They are Tianwu athletes from Bianzhou. They are all butchers and peddlers. They have false ears. Even if they are finely armored, they are not worth one out of ten. It is enough to capture them." For funding."

So he selected the elite cavalry, attacked Liang Jun's formation from both wings, broke into the formation four times, and captured more than a hundred people and returned.Liang Jun's morale was frustrated and he "crossed the river and retreated".

The [-] "Tianwu athletes" that Zhou Dewei saw were the second generation Liang Jun.The equipment is very good, but he is called a merchant and a peddler, and it is ostentatious.

Of course, it really depends on who you compare it with.After being surrounded by cavalry, he charged from the flanks, was broken through the formation four times, and captured more than a hundred people alive before and after.

The main force of the Jin army's infantry and cavalry was stunned, unable to take advantage of the frustrated morale of the enemy, and chased them down when they retreated, and let them run across the river.

I am afraid of comparison in everything. The performance of the second generation of the Houliang Forbidden Army, no matter which dynasty other than the late Tang Dynasty, is a first-class strong army. It is conceivable how their fathers can be used to fighting.

Shao Shude felt that the Luoyang Second Generation could not fight anymore.But whether it can be fought is also relative. Those Tutuan peasants placed in other dynasties, after adapting to the battlefield, their performance will not be bad.

"Gongchen Jun'erlang has a bit of a look." Shao Shude rode his horse to the front of the Gongchen army, and said with a smile.

This army has been escorting Weibo immigrants to Hehuang before, and this time it will also follow the expedition. The whole army of 5000 people has assembled here.

"In the conquest of Hebei, the son of Gongchen's army should make meritorious service." Shao Shude said: "I will give you two bolts of silk and one bolt of woolen cloth."

After the order was handed down, the military envoy Li Gongquan and deputy envoy Hua Wenqi took the lead and said: "In Xuzhou in the first month of last year, your majesty shared the meat with me and ate it. In order to repay the king's kindness, why would you hate to die! Brothers, your majesty waited for us. Adopt a son, kill a thief!"

"Your Majesty raises my son and kills the thief!" "Your Majesty raises my son and kills the thief!"

The sergeants hit the ground with their spears and shouted in unison.

"Excellent!" Shao Shude was also very emotional.

With enough food and salary, if you talk to the sergeants and make a show, won't the results come?

Now that he stands in front of the Tielin Army, the whole army will cheer in unison, shouting "Kill him and roll his head."

Standing in front of General Tu, he raised his sword and pointed forward, and the [-] soldiers would shout "General Tu is here" in unison.

In the Tianxiong army, the soldiers would shout three times "Only death is the only thing to die", and then rush towards the enemy with a murderous look.

An army needs inheritance and soul.

These slogans condense every detail of Shao Shude being with the soldiers.Every time a recruit enters the camp, someone will tell him the origin of these slogans, and Shao Sheng's glorious image will leave a deep impression on him.

With these forbidden troops here, which foreign enemy can fight over?Who dares to rebel?

In the most extreme situation, even if the civil servants are against him, as long as he firmly grasps Wufu, he will not be defeated.

This year is the third year of Jianji (903). If we push forward 200 years, literati can become emperors and control the army. If we push back a hundred years, literati can even round and flatten the army, but this era is the era of warriors. , The warriors don't support you, it's useless to let you be famous all over the world.

Shao Shude has a lot of experience on how to get along with Wufu.

First of all, you have to be a martial artist, otherwise, just sleep and sleep, people will not recognize you, even if you rely on power for a while, you will soon fall down.This is the main reason why he seldom wears a dragon robe when he goes deep into the army, but a military uniform.

It doesn't matter whether the emperor can govern the country or not, and it doesn't matter whether he is a good person or not, warriors don't bother to care about these.But the emperor must be a warrior, and must be recognized by the warriors!

People who fail, not because you did not do well, but because you lost the support of Wu Fu, it's as simple as that.

Shao Shude is proficient in bow and horse. He used to go to the front line to kill the enemy on horseback. He used to mingle with the low-level warriors. He said what the warriors liked to hear. He gave them rewards and pensions. Literati and local tyrants.In the minds of the soldiers, he was a pure martial artist who represented their interests, and whoever dared to harm Shao Sheng would cut him down.

Where is the core source of power in this era, we must figure it out.

Not a prime minister, not an aristocratic family, not a powerful, not a local governor, not a scholar, but a warrior of the imperial army.They are the protagonists of the change of dynasties. They have performed so many times in the past few decades. Would you rather not learn from them?

After the military parade was completed, the rain stopped, and the army marched out one by one, heading east.

The Yi Cong Army, the Ding Nan Army, plus the Tianxiong Army and Wuwei Army who set off ahead of schedule, and the Tiande, Longxiang, and Tujiang armies still in Hebei, with more than 20 forbidden troops, can be said to have left the country empty.

After Shao Shude returned to Dingding Tower, he changed into a military uniform.

The 12-year-old fifth son Huixian and the [-]-year-old sixth son Mingyi followed behind him, following in step.

When Shao Shude's sons reached a certain age, they all went down to practice. This time, Wulang and Liulang will follow him to teach by example.When you are a little older, you have to go down to practice.

In fact, it was not without the dissuasion of the ministers, thinking that this was not in line with the system, but Shao Shude only replied "I am also a martial artist", and blocked their next words.

Wufu, what are you doing is not normal?I don't care what you think.

Shaojia Dalang is 20 years old this year, and he is already the commander of Andong's camp capital.

Erlang is 19 years old and is the coach of Zhengshu.

Sanlang was 16 years old. He had successively served as Sihu of Wendeng County and Captain of Huang County.

Shiro is 14 years old and will be a customs official in Donghai County, Haizhou.

Goro will probably be released next year, and Liulang will stay with him to study for a while.

Children don't expect to learn much when they go out to experience, because local officials will hold them back.In addition, it is impossible for them to stay in one position for a long time, but to get in touch with all aspects as much as possible, and to circulate in various positions, mainly to familiarize themselves with local people's conditions, so as not to lose sight of them.

After serving in the local area, they will be transferred to the army for training and familiarity with military affairs.

They learn literature from the number one scholar and martial arts from the top martial arts masters. They are both civil and military, so naturally they need to be familiar with both.

"Let's go!" After Shao Shude changed into his military uniform, he went downstairs and got on his horse.

Shao Huixian and Shao Mingyi also got on their horses.

Silver Saddle Sergeant Xia Luqi followed behind, carrying a banner.Surrounded by three thousand riders, the father and son walked out of the Dingding Gate in a mighty manner.

Xia Luqi is from Qingzhou. After successfully recruiting state soldiers, he was recommended to Shao Shude because of his extraordinary bravery.

After Shao Shude took the martial arts examination, he was astonished as a celestial being, and immediately rewarded more than ten pieces of precious gold and silverware, plus two beautiful palace servants.

Xia Luqi is relatively honest and loyal, and he is grateful, and now he is dedicated to carrying the flag for Shao Sheng.

The fifth son of the emperor, Shao Huixian, had also seen Xia Luqi's martial arts. Although he was dissatisfied, he had to admit that this man was too fierce.

In history, if Li Cunxu hadn't had Xia Luqi as his bodyguard, he would have been killed by Liang Jun with his reckless willingness to go to the front line to fight in person.

In the fifth year of Kaiping in the Later Liang Dynasty (911), Xia Luqi fought with Yan generals Shan Tinggui and Yuan Xingqin. It was so exciting that the soldiers of the two armies couldn't help but "take a look at the soldiers"-they were so strong that they were fully armed. It was just a few hours, everyone was too tired, so they put down their weapons and watched the battle.

Yuan Xingqin is actually quite good at martial arts.After surrendering to Hedong, Li Cunxu was once surrounded by hundreds of Liang soldiers, and he was about to die. Yuan Xingqin rushed into the enemy line alone, entered the sword empty-handed, grabbed the sword of Liang soldiers, beheaded one level, broke two spears, Li Cunxu was rescued.

He also fought against Li Siyuan, and was shot seven times with arrows, bleeding profusely, each time he pulled out the arrows, gritted his teeth, and finally shot Li Siyuan with an arrow.

In the first year of Zhenming (915), Li Cunxu entered again lightly and was surrounded by Liu Po. This time, Xia Luqi rescued him.

Holding a gun in one hand and a sword in the other, he desperately guarded, fought and advanced, and fought for two hours, with bruises all over his body.

The most rare thing is that he and Wang Yanzhang are rare loyal people in this society, "sexual loyalty", which is rarer than a hen that lays golden eggs.

Shao Shude never felt how loyal his generals were.In this era, when rituals are broken and music is broken, there is no such thing as loyalty. Everyone is hesitant between daring to rebel or not.

Because of this, loyal people are even more valuable, and they will be rewarded generously when they meet them.So, without hesitation, Shao Shude rewarded the beautiful beauties presented by the Liu family and the Xue family in Hezhong. A high-level reward that can only be obtained by warriors.

After the army set off, civil and military officials, princes and concubines, and palace servants all took carriages and left Dingding Gate one by one, and followed slowly behind.

This time the northern tour has gathered a lot of troops, and it may be the largest expedition in recent years.

The feudal vassal towns in Hebei will usher in the conquest of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from the Great Xia.Throwing the whip to cut off the flow, it is true!
