Southern Song Dynasty military god

Chapter 278
"Yang, did he show up too?"

In Zhang Han's letter, a guy named Yang Mo was highlighted.

This person is a giant thief in Dongting Lake. In the official communiqués of the imperial court, Yang Mo is a heinous villain. He started in Dongting Lake in the early years. The bandits merged one by one and became the bandit leader.

Originally, Yang Mo and others were only relying on the special environment of Dongting Lake, using the group of pirates to fight against the officers and soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty, and repeatedly gained the upper hand.The imperial court also thought about recruiting this group of people, but because of bureaucracy, they sent out navy troops to encircle and suppress them. Unexpectedly, the encirclement and suppression turned into being encircled and suppressed. At the same time they were defeated and lost, they also let Yang Mo loot the imperial navy. warships and craftsmen.

As a result, it didn't take long for Yang Mo and his group to own the vehicles and boats of Daxing, which even surpassed the court's navy in terms of equipment. It can be seen that individual industrial and commercial households are indeed more suitable for the market economy than state-owned enterprises. With the national treasury, the vehicles and boats built in one year are not as many as Yang Mo's group of bandits made in half a year, and the quality is good.

After owning the sharp battleship, Yang Mo and others completely occupied the waters of Dongting Lake.Usually, these bandits live a civilian life, fishing, farming and doing business, just like ordinary people, but as soon as the officers and soldiers come, the bandits will board the boat, transform themselves into bandits, and beat the officers and soldiers to pieces.

The imperial court failed to encircle and suppress several times in the past two years. One of the important reasons is that Yang Mo's group will not harm the village. On the contrary, the imperial court's decree has already expired in Dongting Lake, but because of Yang Mo's management, he is now living in Dongting Lake. The civilians around the lake feel more comfortable than living under the rule of the imperial court. The hearts of the people have changed. Without the mass base, it is normal for the officers and soldiers to fail every time they encircle and suppress.

In Zhang Han's heart, he repeatedly mentioned Yang Mo, hoping that Liu Wei would have the opportunity to meet Yang Mo in person.In Zhang Han's view, if Liu Wei really has the idea of ​​aspiring to become the world leader, then he shouldn't let go of a "talent" like Yang Mo.

After burning Zhang Han's letter, Liu Wei also fell into deep thought.

Although Liujiazhuang next to Chengdu County has developed, if it only relies on the meager income of Liujiazhuang, it will not be able to support Liu Wei's great cause. If nothing else, let's take the manufacture of muskets as an example. A memorial from Wu Jie, The imperial court still didn't pay attention, so it made a thousand pieces. Calculated according to the cost of 50 taels per piece, that is 5 taels of silver. If Liu Jiazhuang is required to take out the 5 taels of silver, it will not take a few years It is absolutely impossible to accumulate.

Of course, Liu Wei didn't expect all the expenses to be on Liu Jiazhuang from the beginning.

Now, in addition to the three thousand soldiers and horses that Liu Wei brought with him, how many soldiers and horses can actually be commanded by Liu Jiazhuang, or Liu Wei?

1 million people!

This is a rather terrifying number. Before the fall of Hanzhong, Liu Wei's military strength was only one-third of this number, but because a large number of refugees from Hanzhong appeared around Chengdu County, with the cooperation of Gao Jin and Liu Wei, Liu Wei The army's strength soared to 1!

Although the Liu Family Manor is large, it definitely cannot accommodate the additional [-] soldiers. Moreover, the [-] soldiers have been initially eliminated, and the family members of many of them have already moved here, so that the size of the Liu Family Manor has continued to expand. Difficult to meet demand.

Liu Wei still followed the original phalanx of "supporting war with war" and asked Lu Hong to lead five thousand soldiers to fight on the border. The soldiers went out in rotation to ensure that the pressure on Liujiazhuang would not be too great.

The advantage of this kind of taking turns to go out is not only to grab a lot of supplies, gold and silver, but more importantly, to temper the troops, so that those civilians can adapt to the battle as soon as possible, starting from small local wars, step by step to become elite soldiers and veterans.

However, Zhang Han's letter reminded Liu Wei that the goal of this kind of zipper-style training can be relaxed, and there is no need to stare at the foreign race.

After all, as Lu Hong's expedition area became wider and wider, no matter it was the Kingdom of Jin, Xixia, or the ministries of Tubo, they had already begun to pay attention to such a small elite army. serious adverse effects.

"Collecting a group of thieves, removing the waste and saving the essence, can also attract the hearts of the people. Why didn't I think of it at the beginning?" While secretly complaining to himself, Liu Wei began to draft a letter. He was going to ask Lu Hong to change his policy and focus on those bandits. body.

Today's bandits are not necessarily all bad guys, they are often forced by the environment, and to recover these bandits, relying on force alone is far from enough.

Where there are bandits, there must be corrupt officials. If you want to bring these bandits back to their hearts, punishing corrupt officials is a must. After careful consideration, Liu Wei reminded Lu Hong in his letter that no matter what How can you not expose your identity.

No matter how corrupt the officials of the imperial court are, no matter whether there is definite evidence or not, they can only be dealt with by the imperial court, but the people cannot do anything to the officials. Otherwise, in the eyes of the imperial court, it will be a clear rebellion and will be suppressed!For now, Liu Wei doesn't want his power to clash with the imperial court prematurely, at least in the last few years, he doesn't want such a thing to happen.

Looking for a confidant to bring a letter to Lu Hong, Liu Wei was secretly worried. Lu Hong sometimes has problems with his brain, so he wonders if he can do this well?

Just when Liu Wei was worried about these things, on the road from Xianyang to Xianrenguan, there were two figures walking on foot.

Although they had their heads covered, if Liu Wei was here, he would be able to recognize at a glance that these two were Wang Chongyang and Qingxu Sanren.

Xianyang City was destroyed, but Wang Chongyang and Qingxu Sanren escaped without any danger. Apart from their superb martial arts, Qingxu Sanren's foresight and wisdom are indispensable!

"Master, we are considered celebrities in the imperial court now, so if we go to join Liu Wei like this, will it cause him trouble?"

On the road, Wang Chongyang suddenly asked.

"Why? Don't you trust your friend? Or is it because you don't have confidence in yourself?"

"Hey."

Facing Qingxu Sanren's indifferent eyes, Wang Chongyang sighed for no reason, walked a distance silently, and then asked Qingxu Sanren again: "Master, how did you calculate that the Xixia Kingdom will not send reinforcements? "

"Actually, this is not difficult. Xixia has already worshiped under Jin Guo. In the past, Jin Wushu didn't show up. Xixia can also say that occupying Xianyang is to vent its anger for Jin Guo, and there is a reason not to let the puppet Qi take it away." , but Chongyang, you should know that there was an agreement reached between Jinwushu and Jintanzi long ago. As long as Jinwushu speaks, why would the Xixia Kingdom continue to increase its troops? Chongyang, what you want to ask is probably Lin Yingying’s Is it safe?"

Qingxu Sanren's last words made Wang Chongyang's face turn dry. In fact, he was really worried about whether Lin Yingying would fall into the hands of the golden marble, or be caught by the golden man.

"Lin Yingying's kung fu is also unusual, since we can escape, want to come. Huh?"

Before the words fell, Qingxu Sanren suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Master, what is it? Pufeng!"

Wang Chongyang followed Qingxu Sanren and stopped, and was about to ask, when he turned his head, he saw two rows of figures blocking the front, the old bald one in the front, who is it if it's not Pufeng?

"Fellow Daoist Qingxu, long time no see, since we are destined, why don't you let me treat you well?"

Pu Feng's bald head was shining brightly in the sun, and he had a smile on his face, but the coldness in his skin made his smile give people an extremely dangerous feeling.

Standing behind Pufeng were two rows of golden men with scimitars on their waists. Although they were not wearing golden soldier costumes, it could be seen that these strong men had the look of soldiers.

"No way, this old bald donkey brought his own people out to help the Jin people again, what a fool?" With Wang Chongyang's eyesight, he can naturally see the origins of those big men, "Old thief Pufeng, stop talking nonsense , do it!"

Wang Chongyang raised his hand and lifted the mask, circulated his breath, and shouted at Pufeng.

"Wang Chongyang, I'm talking to your master, when will it be your turn to speak? If you want to die, you will be fulfilled in a short while. Fellow Daoist Qingxu, what do you say?"

At this time, Pufeng didn't take Wang Chongyang seriously at all. After all, there was an absolute gap in the number of the two sides. Although Wang Chongyang was also a leader among the younger generation, it didn't mean that all the people he trained by Pufeng were trash. In Pufeng's view, as long as he can stand up to the Qingxu Sanren, that mere Wang Chongyang will definitely be bound tightly by the large formation designed and captured without a fight!
"Fellow Daoists don't dare, but if Master Guoshi can get out of the way and let the poor master and apprentice return to the south smoothly, then the poor Taoist will be very grateful!"

Qingxu Sanren smiled and slapped his head, but his face showed the slightest bit of nervousness, his attitude really pissed off Pufeng,

With a cold snort, the strong men behind Pufeng pulled out their knives in unison, all pointing at Wang Chongyang's master and apprentice, at this moment Pufeng said: "Qingxu, don't say that I don't give you face ! If you and Wang Chongyang can be captured without a fight at this time, then there may still be a way out, if you still want to hold back, hmph!"

There is no need to say the following words, if a person with a status in the world like Pu Feng, if he comes and goes with the words of ordinary thieves, wouldn't it be a shame?

Although Pufeng didn't bring many people, since he dared to show up, it proved that he felt good about himself and felt that these people were enough to take down Qingxu Sanren.

It's not that Pu Feng thinks too much of himself, in fact, few people in Jianghu know how high the kung fu of Qingxu Sanren is, including Pu Feng, they can only infer from Wang Chongyang.Wang Chongyang is an apprentice brought out by Qingxu Sanren, and Pufeng also fought against Wang Chongyang.

In Pufeng's view, Qingxu Sanren has been famous for many years, and his kung fu may have surpassed Wang Chongyang in the past, but after all, he is old and his height is limited, so he should be on the same level as him. If he can stand up to Qingxu Sanren, let others People besieged and captured Wang Chongyang, Qingxu scattered people were afraid to throw their hands at him, so they had no choice but to surrender.

However, these are just what Pu Feng took for granted. Faced with Pu Feng's aggressiveness, Qingxu Sanren took half a step forward with his head held high, and slowly stretched out half of his palm.
