Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 780 Take office and sweep across Qingzhou (4K chapter)

Qingzhou is located in the middle of Shandong Province, and was called Linzi in ancient times.In this world, Qingzhou is located on the east side of Liangshan.There are Dongping Mansion and Jinan Mansion in the middle.Gao Cheng took Zhu Wu and Chen Da to travel around for more than ten days before arriving in Qingzhou.

Qingzhou City is also one of the most prosperous places on Jingdong East Road, radiating the whole Shandong, the geographical location is very important, the governor of this place is Murong Yanda, this man is the brother of the noble concubine Murong in the palace, and also the confidant of the Emperor Daojun.

"Murong Yanda is nothing more than a mediocre official! If it wasn't for his sister, Concubine Murong, she wouldn't be able to secure the seat of Qingzhou Zhizhou at all!"

After Gao Cheng came to Qingzhou, he first went to visit Murong Yanda of Zhizhou.As he had expected, Murong Yanda was a mediocre official with little ability in his memory, Gao Cheng confirmed this even more after seeing this person.

Qingzhou is the capital of Jingdong East Road, and it governs seven prefectures and 38 counties in the territory. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, Kou Zhun, Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Pang Ji, etc., who can serve as the prefects of Qingzhou, are all future prime ministers.The future famous official Zhang Shuye also served as the magistrate of Qingzhou.

Compared with these people, Murong Yanda is not worthy to carry their shoes.

Thanks to his status as "Zhao Yu", Gao Cheng came to the government office to meet Murong Yanda without any trouble. He is also a son of the clan, and being appointed as the deputy commander of the military and horse division is enough to prove that he has connections.

Murong Yanda, as the magistrate of the state and the commander of the army and horse department, has the military and civil affairs in his hands. As long as Gao Cheng doesn't do too much and robs him of his full strength, he will not be a villain in vain.

After Jian Jian met with Zhizhou, Gao Cheng took the official seal and dispatched documents and ran towards the military camp in the west of the city.Before entering Qingzhou, he already had a preliminary understanding of the situation of Qingzhou Bingma Division.

Among the soldiers and horses, apart from the two commanders and deputy commanders, the leader is Qin Ming who is in charge. Qin Ming has about four to five hundred soldiers under his command. These soldiers have been trained by his apprentice Huang Xin. elite.

Except for the five hundred soldiers led by Qin Ming and Huang Xin, the other four battalion leaders of Bing Ma Si were all old, weak, sick and disabled with little combat effectiveness.These people can't even beat the bandits who block the road and rob, let alone wipe out the bandits who occupy the mountains as kings.

The huge Qingzhou has only 500 soldiers with some combat effectiveness. No matter how strong Qin Ming is, it is impossible to wipe out the three hills in Qingzhou with these [-] soldiers.

Before Gao Cheng approached the barracks in the west of the city, he heard a burst of noise coming from inside. The soldiers at the gate of the barracks surrounded the city with others to watch the excitement.He had long forgotten the task of guarding the gate of the barracks.It seems that these people have long been used to doing this.

"This is Song's barracks? Why doesn't it look as good as the ones we trained in Shaohua Mountain?" Chen Da and Zhu Wu followed Gao Cheng and also saw this scene.

Chen Da couldn't help but said something, feeling a little disappointed in the so-called Song Dynasty officers and soldiers, even he, a reckless man who only knew how to practice punches, kicks, guns and sticks, knew the reason why there must be guard posts at the gate of the barracks.If bandits enter the city, they probably won't even be able to stop them with these extremely loose soldiers.

"The balance has been balanced for more than 100 years. It is not surprising that the Bingma Division has become like this." Zhu Wu is not too surprised. .

Like the Forbidden Army in Tokyo, the military strength looks very large, but in fact they are all empty-handed, intimidating ordinary people, or destroying some bandits with average strength. It collapsed in one rush.

Gao Cheng kept silent and didn't get angry because of this, but went straight into the barracks, and saw a burly man with a beard in an open space surrounded by many soldiers, fighting with a dozen strong soldiers.

More than a dozen strong soldiers are well-trained, flexible on their feet, and all have the strength of the peak of the first order.They cooperate with each other, and even the second-tier Jianghu masters are not their opponents.

But the burly man who was fighting with them, wearing strong clothes, moved swiftly and explosively. He took a step forward and knocked one of the soldiers back, and then he punched and kicked. In just a few moves, these soldiers were knocked to the ground one after another.

"It's not fun, it's really not fun! I can't even move my body, so you can't hold on, it's a disappointment!" This burly man is the commander of the Qingzhou Army and Horse Division, Thunderbolt Qin Ming.

His current strength has not reached Tier [-], but is at the peak of Tier [-], but this strength is enough to make him a first-class warrior who can charge into battle.

When exercising with a dozen soldiers just now, Qin Ming didn't use any aura, nor did he display any incomparable strength, but just used ordinary fists and kicks.He didn't even use one-tenth of his strength.

At this time, Qin Ming suddenly sensed two auras of stellar energy nearby, as if there were some masters nearby, his face twitched, and he immediately turned around and glanced around.

Gao Cheng, Zhu Wu, and Chen Da did not hide their figures, and their clothes were completely different from those of the soldiers, as if they stood out from the crowd. Qin Ming saw the three behind the crowd at a glance.

"Who are you? You trespassed into the camp?" Qin Ming let out a loud cry, the sound wave was breathtaking, and the soldiers and soldiers who were watching the fun covered their ears one after another, and stepped back to make way for the space with pained expressions on their faces.

Gao Cheng plucked his ears with his fingers, and said with a smile, "It's such a loud voice, it's worthy of being a thunderbolt, it's really like a thunderbolt, shocking!"

Zhu Wu took a step forward and shouted: "Qin Tongzhi, this is the newly appointed Deputy Commander Zhao Yuzhao, Master Zhao Yu, why don't you come to see him?"

Qin Ming's internal energy was circulating, and he was about to step forward to catch the three men who trespassed in the barracks, when he heard these words, his whole body froze. "Deputy Commander of the Army and Horse Division?"

Not far away, they formed a group to watch the excitement, and the soldiers also looked shocked.

Gao Cheng looked calm, and waved his hand to ask Zhu Wu to show the official seal. Qin Ming quickly led the soldiers in the camp to turn over and bow down, "The villain pays his respects to the commander!"

"Get up, from today onwards, I am the chief officer of the Bingma Division, Qin Ming, and call all the officers above the head of the Bingma Division to meet!" Gao Cheng immediately gave the first order.

Soon, Qin Ming summoned the big and small officials from Marquis Yu, Dujian, and Bingmasi who had rushed from outside to the official office of Bingmasi. Dozens of people almost filled the hall.

"Is it all here?" Gao Cheng sat at the head, glanced at these people, and asked calmly.

Zhu Wu stood on the side, holding the list of officials of the Bingma Division in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, Huang Xin, the governor of the Bingma Division, has business trips and is not in Qingzhou for the time being. Except for him, all the officials of the Bingma Division are here. It's all here!"

Gao Cheng nodded slightly, first glanced at Qin Ming, then threw the list of soldiers and military account books on the table in his hand, he stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Qingzhou is the capital of Jingdong East Road. The three bandits of Peach Blossom Mountain, Qingfeng Mountain and Erlong Mountain have been entrenched!"

"Thousands of bandits together numbered thousands, and many of them were strong bandit leaders. I heard about the reputation of the three bandits in Tokyo. I didn't expect to come to Bing Ma Si to see them today. There are no soldiers like soldiers, and there will be no generals! If The three bandits invade Qingzhou, how do you protect the hundreds of thousands of people in the city?"

"The sentries in the military camp dare to leave their posts without permission. Qin Ming, you are the commander of the soldiers and horses. Are these the soldiers you lead?"

Gao Cheng unceremoniously reprimanded Qin Ming, with shame on his face, bowed his head in silence, and waited for Gao Cheng to finish speaking before going forward and bowing down: "The villain is guilty, and please forgive me!"

There is an apprentice Huang Xin to help manage the barracks. Qin Ming never cared about these problems. When encountering bandits or enemies, his first thought was to rush forward.

Unexpectedly, when the apprentice Huang Xin was not in Qingzhou, the commander suddenly came to the barracks and had a panoramic view of the chaos in the barracks. Qin Ming had no choice but to bow his head and confess his guilt obediently.

Other officials from Dutou, Marquis of Yu, and Bingmasi scolded Qin Ming as soon as they saw Gao Cheng coming, and kept squeezing Qin Ming, a first-class general, as a soft persimmon, and kept silent, not daring to breathe loudly.

Seeing Qin Ming bowing his head and pleading guilty, Gao Cheng's face softened a little, and he said, "Qin Ming, you are not weak, but you are one of the most powerful generals in Qingzhou, and Lord Zhizhou also values ​​you very much. I know your ability. For the time being, from today onwards, the Bingma Division will be reorganized!"

Qin Ming's face brightened, and he quickly bowed his hands and said, "Thank you for your praise, my lord. Regarding the matter of soldiers and horses, the villain only follows the adults!"

……

Gao Cheng used to command millions of troops to attack the world in the previous world, now he has no problem being a small commander. Once he takes office, he can easily overwhelm Qin Ming and use Qin Ming's reputation to show his prestige.

Qin Ming was extremely powerful, and had a great reputation in the Qingzhou Army and Horse Division. After Qin Ming bowed his head, no other officials, big or small, dared to pierce him.Convey Gao Cheng's order down to earth.

The Qingzhou Bingma Division has a total of one army and horses, the Song Dynasty military system, one hundred people in one capital, one battalion in five capitals, and one army in five battalions.The first army has a total of [-] main troops, plus auxiliary soldiers and miscellaneous servants, the number will exceed [-].

In addition to the capital city of Zhisuoyi, Qingzhou also has five counties, and there are also regiment training envoys in the counties, commanding the militias in each county. The combined strength of the five counties is about [-].

It's just that these militiamen are usually under the jurisdiction of the training envoys of the counties, and it is impossible to be transferred to Qingzhou Prefecture.

One of the purposes of Gao Cheng's coming to Qingzhou was to subdue the future Liangshan generals in Qingzhou, and the other purpose was to exterminate the three bandits and make contributions and gradually form his own forces.

Qingzhou Bingma Division is the first team he wants to master.

Murong Yanda usually only knows to drink and have fun in Qingzhou, looking for flowers and friends, and has no interest in the affairs of the Bingma Division. When he is not doing anything, Gao Cheng has the power of the entire Bingma Division.

His first order was to clean up the old, weak, sick and disabled in the military division. These old, weak, sick and disabled seemed to have little strength, but their relationships in Qingzhou were intricate.So Gao Cheng did not blindly act recklessly.

He first selected all the old and weak who were not strong in combat effectiveness, and then turned these people into auxiliary soldiers. He spent a lot of money out of his own pocket to buy a thousand acres of land outside Qingzhou City, and then let these old, weak, sick and disabled all arrange Farming the land, the melons and fruits and grains that are grown are all purchased by Bingmasi.

Gao Cheng took 500% of the money sold and left 2000% for these people.It can be regarded as giving them a way to support themselves.The main soldiers of [-] people suddenly lost nearly [-] people.

At this time, Gao Cheng issued a second order to recruit [-] strong soldiers in Qingzhou, and re-select troops for training.People in the prosperous age grow up, even in the prosperous Qingzhou, there are a large number of people who are about to die.

The original intention of setting up Xiangbing in the Great Song Dynasty was to give these people who could not survive a way out. Whenever there was a drought, the imperial court would vigorously recruit Xiangbing to gather the strong and strong among the refugees, so as to prevent these people from being unable to survive. And a civil uprising occurred.

It is very easy to become a side soldier. Gao Cheng can recruit himself without asking Tokyo for instructions.In just a few days, there are thousands of strong applicants.

At this time, Huang Xin also returned to Qingzhou.

Huang Signal said that Zhen Sanshan has some skills in commanding and training troops, but his skills are only ordinary. He is very qualified to be a general, but he cannot become a general or a famous general.

However, this person has some abilities anyway, Gao Cheng immediately asked him to assist Zhu Wu, and began to train this army.

Gao Cheng secretly trained soldiers in Qingzhou City, and soon a month passed.

In a month's time, the newly recruited more than 2000 soldiers and horses initially learned the formation, and also practiced some simple sword and gun techniques.With a little fighting power.

this day.Gao Cheng stood on the high platform in the barracks, watching the more than 2000 people below who were constantly changing formations according to orders, and Qin Ming's loud voice kept yelling.Sweat covered the faces of these soldiers.

"My lord! There are documents from Zhizhou!"

At this time, Zhu Wu walked gently to Gao Cheng's side, and handed over a document.There is a red seal on it, and I don't know what is written inside.

Gao Cheng opened it casually, then glanced at it, with a sneer on his face. "Interesting! The thieves from Qingfeng Mountain heard that we are training to destroy the three mountain thieves, and are contacting Erlong Mountain and Taohua Mountain to attack Qingzhou together!"

"Now the three bandits are attacking Qingfengzhai. Zhizhai Liu Gao sent a letter asking for help from Qingzhou. Murong Yanda directly transferred the letter asking for help to me. This is to let me send troops!"

Zhu Wu's face changed slightly when he heard this. Among the three bandits in Qingzhou, Erlong Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Taohua Mountain is remote and not too dangerous, and Qingfeng Mountain is the most powerful cottage among the three mountains.

Therefore, Qingzhou has set up Qingfeng Village at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain to specifically control the bandits in Qingfeng Mountain.However, the strength of Qingfeng Village is not too large, and it is very difficult to resist a Qingfeng Mountain. Now facing the siege of the three bandits, it may be dangerous.

"My lord! Our soldiers and horses have just trained for one month. The soldiers have not yet been on the battlefield and have not seen blood. If we send troops, I am afraid they will not be the opponents of the three bandits!" Zhu Wu said in a low voice.

Gao Cheng smiled, waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, Qin Ming and Huang Xin trained five hundred old soldiers before. With these soldiers as the core, the soldiers and horses are enough to fight against the three mountain bandits! After all, they are just some bandits who occupy the mountains as kings." , and it’s not the elite soldiers of Xixia and Liao, what are you afraid of?”
