Chapter 114 Building an Army

Chen Qing finally understood why Wang Yan was worried about whether he could establish the Qinzhou Army?

You must know that the relationship between Chen Qing and Fu Xuan has always been bad. From the very beginning, Chen Qing took the chance from Fu Xuan's nephew Fu Moshan. Wang Yan was clearly aware of this.

Wang Yan smiled again: "Since the envoy Xuanfu gave you the quota of [-] troops, I will allocate these [-] soldiers to you!"

"I'm afraid Fu Dutong will have an opinion!"

Wang Yan snorted coldly, "It's useless for him to have an opinion, it's not his turn to make the decision now!"

If Chen Qing realizes something, I'm afraid Wang Yan's transfer has something to do with Fu Xuan.

Chen Qing said again: "Can you transfer Yang Yuanqing and Zheng Ping to me?"

"You write down a list, and I'll arrange it for you!"

Chen Qing then wrote a list of more than a dozen people and handed it to Wang Yan. Wang Yan looked at it and put it on the table, "I still have three days, I will arrange it for you."

After a moment of silence, Wang Yan said again: "I'm really sorry about the compensation money!"

This is also Wang Yan, Zhang Jun didn't mention it at all.

Chen Qing smiled and waved his hands, "This matter has nothing to do with Dutong, so don't blame yourself. Besides, Lu Xianggong has promised to return the money I advanced on my behalf, so it doesn't really affect me much."

Wang Yan looked at him for a while, then slowly said: "In the future, this kind of thing will happen frequently. You must handle it flexibly, but also adhere to the principle. You must not do it again with your own money to pay for the dead soldiers."

Chen Qing nodded, "Lu Xianggong reminded me, I know it well."

"That's good!"

Wang Yan smiled happily: "Tonight, Wu Dutong will clean up the dust for you, let's have a good drink!"

The reception banquet in the evening was very united and harmonious, and even Fu Xuan toasted Chen Qing with two glasses of wine, congratulating him on his promotion.

Contrary to Chen Qing's expectation, Zheng Ping was also promoted to be a commander. This had something to do with his father in Lin'an. It is difficult not to be promoted if he has favors in the court.

Wu Jie also hired a few prostitutes to add to the fun. During this meal, Chen Qing was so drunk that he fell asleep until the next morning before waking up.

Chen Qing sat up slowly and found himself lying in a large tent, of course there was no woman beside him, Wang Yan planned to arrange a maid to serve him at night, but he flatly refused.

With a splitting headache and extremely thirsty mouth, Chen Qing got up and found a gourd filled with clear water, and drank half of it in one go.

At this time, a soldier's voice came from outside, "Commander, the commander hasn't woken up yet!"

"Should be awake, go and have a look!"

This was Yang Yuanqing's voice. During the welcome banquet last night, Chen Qing felt that he had something on his mind, so he didn't have a chance to ask him.

Chen Qing strode out of the camp, and it was indeed Yang Yuanqing, "Old Yang, it's really you!"

The two hugged joyfully, and Chen Qing smiled again: "I brought you a clansman, have you seen it?"

"You mean Yang Zaixing! I met him, and he is not in the same clan as me, but he has a good relationship with Yang Zheng, and he was dragged by Yang Zheng to chat last night."

Chen Qing frowned, "Yang Zheng, bastard, don't pry my corner."

"It is indeed possible. Yang Zaixing is the clansman with the strongest martial arts in our generation, but it depends on him. If he wants to talk to the commander, it is useless for Yang Zheng to grind his mouth."

"Let's walk! I have a terrible headache."

The two walked up to the city wall of Dasan Pass and walked slowly along the city wall. Chen Qing supported the battlements and looked at the mountains in the distance, and sighed: "It's so fast! It's been a year."

Chen Qing said that he had been in Song Dynasty for a whole year, but Yang Yuanqing thought he was talking about the Battle of Fuping, and he also sighed: "Yes! How many people's fates have been changed by the Battle of Fuping."

"Old Yang, what happened to Wang Dutong?"

Chen Qing would never believe that Wang Yan was dismissed from the military because of his injury.

Yang Yuanqing smiled wryly and said, "It's because of the word 'Eight Character Army'."

The Bazi Army is what everyone usually calls them. They are actually part of the Jingyuan Army, but everyone usually calls them that. Even Zhang Jun himself calls them the Bazi Army. How could something go wrong?

Chen Qing was still puzzled, "It shouldn't be because of Zhang Jun!"

"No, the Xuan Fu envoy never cared about it, it's Fu Xuan!"

"It really is him!" Fu Xuan's treacherous smile from last night appeared in Chen Qing's mind.

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "There is someone in Fu Xuan's court. He wrote a letter and sued Wang Dutong. It is said that the officials were very dissatisfied with those eight words, so they were transferred from the army on the grounds that Dutong was seriously injured."

Chen Qing sneered in his heart, if the eight characters of 'reserve the country with a heart, swear to kill the gold thief' were changed to 'loyal to the king, serve the country, swear to kill the gold thief', I am afraid there will be no problem.

Of course, Chen Qing also knew that the Bazi Army was somewhat similar to the Zhong Family Army and the Yue Family Army. It was suspected of being a private army, and it was normal for Zhao Gou to not tolerate it because there were villains around.

"Who is Fu Xuan's backstage?" Chen Qing asked again.

"Zhu Shengfei, does the commander know?"

"It's him!"

Chen Qing and Zhu Shengfei didn't meet each other, but they did meet him. During the recruits' training competition, Zhu Shengfei was a scholar of Guanwendian, and temporarily served as the Minister of the Ministry of War. He was tall and thin, with a very elegant appearance. .

"I also want to talk to the commander about the compensation money."

Chen Qing cheered up, "Say it!"

Yang Yuanqing took out a thick booklet and handed it to Chen Qing, "This is the booklet. More than half of it has been distributed, and the families of more than [-] soldiers have not been found. The rest of the money has been deposited in the money shop in Chengdu by Zheng Ping. "

Chen Qing flipped through the booklet, and there were dense names and fingerprints on it, which was really not easy.

"You have worked hard on this matter!"

Yang Yuanqing smiled and said: "I should, thanks to Wang Dutong sending more than a dozen civil servants to assist me and check carefully, otherwise I wouldn't be able to tell if someone pretended to be the leader."

"There are more than [-] people because their family members are inconvenient in Guanzhong?"

"Yes, but I heard that some family members have died. Commander, this matter may be a long-term matter, and we have to keep looking for it."

Chen Qing nodded, "I'll let Xiao Yi be responsible for this matter."

"Commander, can I still follow you?"

Yang Yuanqing stammered: "Wang Dutong is leaving, I don't want to follow Fu Xuan, his nephew Fu Moshan is very vicious, he actually called me Huanqing dog!"

"Fu Moshan is a mad dog, don't pay attention to him!"

Chen Qing patted Yang Yuanqing on the shoulder and smiled, "Don't worry, I've already made an agreement with Wang Dutong, you, Zheng Ping, and Xiao Yi will all be transferred to me."

Yang Yuanqing was overjoyed, "Fortunately, the commander is back, otherwise I will have a sad life in the future."

"You have a thousand people under your command, and Zheng Ping has a thousand people under him. That's two thousand people, and there is still a thousand people left. Do you have any suggestions?"

Yang Yuanqing thought for a while and said: "Wang Dutong has a magic arm crossbow army under his command, [-] people. It was established half a year ago and was selected from the entire Western Army. The battle for reunification is here, if we can get this god arm crossbow army, it will be of great help to the future command and recovery of Qinzhou!"

Chen Qing was really tempted. He knew that only bed crossbows and god arm crossbows could shoot through Jurchen cavalry armor. It was not easy to practice god arm crossbows, so he must seize this opportunity.

"But it's very difficult!" Yang Yuanqing said again.

"why?"

"This god arm crossbow army has been booked by Fu Moshan, and he will be the commander of this army." Yang Yuanqing regretted telling Chen Qing about it.

Chen Qing suddenly nodded, and went around in a circle, and he was going to compete with that brute Fu Moshan for the army again.

In the afternoon, Chen Qing hesitantly mentioned the matter of the God Arm Crossbow Army to Wang Yan, and Wang Yan slapped his thigh, "Why didn't you say it yesterday, I promised to return this army to Wu Jie last night!"

Chen Qing was taken aback, "Didn't you say that General Fu is going to take over this army?"

"That's just wishful thinking on his part!"

Wang Yan took a military document from the table and handed it to Chen Qing, "This is Fu Xuan's recommendation letter. He really wants to give this army to his nephew, but do you see that I signed and printed it?"

Chen Qing looked at the military text, and the column for the general below was still blank.

Wang Yan sneered and said: "I don't want to give this army to his nephew at all. His nephew will never go to the front line to fight. Giving it to him is just a decoration in the barracks. Such a sharp army was wasted, so yesterday As soon as Wan Wujie opened his mouth, I immediately agreed."

At this moment, Fu Xuan came in angrily, followed by his nephew Fu Moshan.

"Old Wang, what you did this time is not authentic!" Fu Xuan denounced Wang Yan as soon as he entered the tent.

Chen Qing stood aside and looked at Fu Moshan. He hadn't seen him for almost a year. He had grown fat. Last year he was a very black, strong and burly man, like a wild boar, but now the wild boar has become a domestic pig, with such a thick neck and a belly. It's so big, like a big iron pot upside down on the stomach.

Fu Moshan also recognized Chen Qing, a smug smile appeared on his face, and he looked at Chen Qing provocatively.

Of course, Chen Qing understood the source of his pride, because his uncle was about to become a general, and he thought he could finally take care of himself, poor pig, didn't he know that he was already forming the Qinzhou Army?
