Chapter 762 I would rather believe in a villain than a hypocrite
Xiao Yuanshan was greatly shocked by the Dingzhou military exercise, and the last trace of luck left in his heart was blown away by the Dingzhou soldiers. Although it is no longer a secret how Dingzhou trained such a strong army, the whole world is also learning Dingzhou's military training methods, which has increased the combat effectiveness of the armies of all major forces, but don't worry. There is no doubt that, as Li Qing said, Dingzhou has been imitated, but never surpassed.
Li Qing told Xiao Yuanshan without hesitation that ordinary soldiers in Dingzhou have to receive at least one year of military training, while lower-ranking officers have to study for three years at the Jimingze Military Academy in Dingzhou, and then they will be sent to the forefront of the army to receive at least three years of military training. After a one-month internship, the duties are reassigned according to the situation. As for the officers above the middle level, they all come from other troops and are promoted due to their achievements in combat.The benefits of doing this are obvious. Even if the Dingzhou Army is a new army that has never been on the battlefield, because they have a group of low-level officers and experienced mid-level and high-level officers who have worked hard on the battlefield, they make the battlefield Second, with this promotion system for officers, incompetent people can't get ahead at all, and those who can stand in the forefront of soldiers are elites who have passed the test of blood and fire.This has enabled a large number of low-level elites to achieve success through their own efforts. Besides their success, these people are also grateful and loyal to Dingzhou Marshal Li Qing, because it is not for Li Qing's policy, maybe they would never work hard. likely to succeed.Third, because of the first two points, Li Qing's ability to control the army is unprecedentedly strong. A commander basically has no ability to cultivate his own direct line, because the person you desperately try to win over may be transferred to another army at the next moment. a troop.The officer system of the entire army is completely connected. It is the Ministry of War that can completely control the promotion of officers. Although the Ministry of War has the right to promote officials, it does not have the right to mobilize troops. Checking and balancing each other, no one has the ability to dominate the family, and the one who finally controls all of this is the aloof Li Qing.
Xiao Yuanshan knows his own family affairs. The Xiao's army used to be a powerful force on this continent, but for the sake of the loyalty of the army, almost all high-level officers came from within the Xiao's system. There were occasionally a few outliers. It is also restricted by layers, and it is considered good for ordinary soldiers to receive two or three months of military training.Like now, a large number of soldiers come here by force. They take off their farm uniforms and put on military uniforms. They are given a spear or a sword, and they are called soldiers.Not to mention the order and prohibition of the Dingzhou Army, the army is neat and tidy, most of them may not even understand the military terms of the chief, and the combat effectiveness can be imagined.
What worries Xiao Yuanshan even more is that Youyan's economic system is about to collapse, which is more deadly than the low combat effectiveness of the army. The cost of feeding an army is appalling. Ensuring that the soldiers are fed is a huge sum of money every day.
Li Qing once said that if the army is poorer than him, he will be beaten with silver, and if the army is richer than himself, he will be trampled down with Dingzhou cavalry.
But now, Youyan can be said to have no food left.
Xiao Yuanshan sat dryly under the solitary lamp, picked up the pen and put it down. After writing a few sentences, he crumpled the manuscript paper and threw it heavily on the ground. On the ground, there were no fewer than a dozen such balls of paper.
Xiao Yuanshan was in great pain. Although he knew in his heart that the era belonging to the Xiao family was gone forever, but as a person who once stood at the peak of this era, it was really too difficult to accept this reality.Whenever he was in despair, he always hoped for a miracle to happen.
It has been three days since the military exercise in Dingzhou. It is amazing that during these three days, no one from Dingzhou came to disturb Xiao Yuanshan. For Xiao Yuanshan, he neither asked to see Li Qing nor left in a hurry, but was neither embarrassed nor embarrassed. No one paid any attention to him staying in Dingzhou, as if Xiao Yuanshan was really an ordinary guest.
"Master!" An old man with a sad face walked into Xiao Yuanshan's bedroom, seeing him enter Xiao Yuanshan's room without knocking, one could tell that this person's status was quite special.
"Uncle Ou!" Xiao Yuanshan nodded to him, "You have worked so hard, have you gained anything?"
The man called Uncle Ou had a wry smile on his face, "Dingzhou didn't take precautions against us at all. It's easy to find out any news. The Changsheng Camp and Cyclone Camp in Dingzhou have already returned."
"These two battalions are back?" Xiao Yuanshan was a little surprised, "So fast!"
"They didn't come to Dingzhou, but directly stationed in Huangpi!" Ouyang De then added.
"Huangpi?!" Xiao Yuanshan's face turned even paler.
Huangpi is on the border with Dingzhou and Bingzhou. The two main cavalry battalions of Dingzhou are stationed here, which actually shows Li Qing's attitude. If an agreement cannot be reached with the Xiao family, the 2-strong Dingzhou The cavalry will march straight in.
"How is Yang Yidao's Central Group Army moving?"
Ouyang De smiled wryly and said: "The other party did not block the news from us at all. It can be clearly heard that Yang Yidao's troops did not return to their respective stations after the military exercise, but assembled on the spot, and a large amount of supplies and ordnance were being imported. Barracks."
Xiao Yuanshan murmured: "Is this blatantly threatening us?"
Ouyang De was silent, what could be done if the current situation was like this? "Is there any news from the Duke?"
Xiao Yuanshan nodded, "I just received the news that Luoyang sent people to Youyan and asked us to launch an attack on the Xiangshan Mansion. They are willing to provide all help, food, ordnance, etc., as long as we need it, they can give it. The premise It's us who have to attack first."
"Uneasy and kind! There must be many promises, right?" Ouyang De sneered.
"Uncle Ou is right. As long as we launch an attack on the Lu Dalin army in the Xiangshan Mansion, Youyan can rule by dividing land after Li Qing is eliminated. Luoyang is willing to add the Xiao family as a king with a different surname." Xiao Yuanshan said.
"Young Master, do you believe it?" Ouyang De said: "Master will definitely not believe it."
"The Duke said, I would rather believe in a real villain than a hypocrite!" Xiao Yuanshan picked up his pen again.
"But, is Li Qing really a villain?" Ouyang De hesitated.
"In my opinion, at least he is much more credible than Tianqi."
"Master, have you made up your mind?"
"Uncle Ou, you also saw the Dingzhou army front. You said, this kind of army invaded our Youyan. With our current situation, can we resist it? What we saw a few days ago were still recruits. Recruits, now the Changsheng Camp and the Whirlwind Camp are back, and their strength has reached a new level. In this battle for world hegemony, Dingzhou undoubtedly has the upper hand. We set such a high price. The more so, the more unreliable it is. In this big drama of competing for the world, we Xiao have been reduced to supporting roles, no, we are just spectators. We only have one chance to make this bet, and There is no chance of regret and recovery, so we need to be more cautious. I can only tell the Duke of the situation here, and let the Duke make up his mind, I really don't have this responsibility." Xiao Yuanshan sighed.
Ouyang De nodded, "Master is well-informed and thoughtful, so let him make this bet. As for the result, we can only resign ourselves to fate."
Xiao Yuanshan didn't hesitate any longer, and wrote a few pages in an instant, and put it in an envelope, "Send a fast horse to send it back to Youyan, and I'll wait here for the answer from the Duke."
Li Qing's private residence.
Li Qing had a rare half day of leisure today, and was playing with his three children in the back garden. The former barbarian aristocrat, now the senior minister of Dingzhou, and also a wealthy businessman of Dingzhou spent a lot of effort to get from the grassland. They collected two different breeds of ponies. These horses were born short in stature and would never grow taller. In addition, they had a docile temperament, making them very suitable for five or six-year-old children to play with.As soon as An Min and Ji Shi got these two gifts, they couldn't put them down immediately. Apart from studying, they spent more than half of their time on these two ponies every day.
Ren Ruqing, who is in charge of the Ministry of Industry, is also considerate. When he was invited to Li Qing's family banquet, he saw that the two ponies were very popular with the two young masters. Moreover, the two young masters were very easy to wield guns and sticks. Xiaodao, tailor-made a set of Kaijia for the two young masters. The whole set of Kaijia is made of the best thin steel. The whole set weighs only about ten catties. , It's really beautiful, bringing it to the mansion, it makes An Min and Ji Shi happy again.Originally there were two small sabers that had not been sharpened, the length and weight were very suitable, but this time Jiyue absolutely did not allow the two children to touch them, so the craftsman made two wooden knives for the two children to play with.
At this time, Li Qing was standing in the back garden, watching the two children riding horses, fully armed, wielding wooden knives, galloping triumphantly in the back garden, saying that they were running, but in fact they were just like adults It's about the same as walking, but this pony can't run fast. In addition, there are two guards on both sides closely following him, preventing the two young masters from falling down at any time.
"Daddy, I want to be a general when I grow up!" An Min laughed happily.The wooden knife was wielded vigorously, with a good look, and it seemed that he had learned a few tricks from the guards.
Ji Shi was also very happy, "I want to be a general too, I want to be the biggest general! Daddy, can I do it?"
Li Qing laughed loudly, "Okay, why not? But if you want to be a general, you can't do that. To be a general, you have to be good at both civil and military skills."
Hearing the conversation between the two children and Li Qing, Ji Yue couldn't help frowning.
"Daddy, I want it too!" Jiyue sat on a chair, resting her elbows on the table, resting her chin on the table, looking enviously at the two majestic elder brothers.
"Are you a girl? Why do you want horses and armor? Does Xiaoxinyi also want to be a general?" Li Qing leaned down and said jokingly.
"Why not? Didn't daddy say last time that a girl should also have ambition, and she should be a heroine?" Xinyi stood up, holding Li Qing's clothes, and whispered.
Li Qing was startled for a moment, he couldn't think of what he said casually, but the little guy remembered it clearly, looking at Xiaoxinyi looking up at his eyebrows and eyes, it looked very like Qingcheng, and couldn't help but feel a little sad.
