Song Dynasty

Chapter 76

Thinking of his future father-in-law, Yue Fei, and his promise to An Niang, Wang Shen felt impatient and strange at the same time.

What is impatient is that since the supply camp became the Sizhou camp and became a unit of the left-behind division, Wang Shen ran towards Xingyuan every three days, trying to get acquainted with the relevant people inside, and asked where Yue Fei was now.But after asking several times, everyone said they didn't know such a person existed.

Strangely, according to real historical records, after Yue Fei left Wang Yan's Eight-Character Army, he went to Kaifeng Left Behind Division to join Zongze.Because of his bravery in combat and his proficiency in the art of war, he was appreciated by his grandfather as a general, and he escorted King Kang Zhao Gou to Yingtian Mansion to become the throne.

After Zhao Gou ascended the throne, after Yue Fei was included in Huang Qianshan's army, because he had no battle to fight for several months, he sent a memorial to the emperor "Nanjing Emperor's Letter", advocating going north to fight against Jin and seeking war, so he offended those who advocated fleeing south Huang Qianshan, Wang Boyan.Huang Wang dismissed Yue Fei from his position and returned him to the field because "it is not appropriate for a small official to go beyond his post".

On the way back home, Yue Fei happened to meet Zhang Zuo, the envoy of West Hebei Road, recruiting soldiers.On August [-], Yue Fei joined the army for the fourth time. He was recommended by Zhao Jiuling, the official of the recruiting envoy of Hebei West Road, from his hometown, and joined the army of Zhangsuo, the recruiting envoy of Hebei. Commander of the Chinese Army.Zhang Suo admired Yue Fei very much, treated Yue Fei as a national scholar, and soon promoted Yue Fei to be the commander of the seventh-rank martial arts master.It can also be regarded as an intermediate general of the Song Army, equivalent to a division-level cadre in later generations.

Later, after Zong Ze fell ill, Du acted as a stay-at-home in Tokyo, and Yue Fei returned to Du's department.

At this time, he is already famous.

Why doesn't anyone in the entire Jiankang Left Behind Department know his name?
Could it be that... the history of this time and space is different from the time and space I am in?

As soon as the thought came up, Wang Shen felt uneasy.

He suddenly remembered that Du Shu, the newly-appointed deputy commander of the Sizhou Battalion, was also from Xiangzhou. Speaking of which, he and Yue Fei were fellow villagers.Moreover, he is Du Chong's nephew, so you might as well ask him.

Although I already had an ominous premonition in my heart, I couldn't feel at ease if I didn't ask.

"Oh, you are talking about Yue Pengju from our Xiangzhou. I have vaguely heard of this person's name. Wang Jun asked you to let me think about it." Du Shu touched his forehead with his hand, as if he was struggling to remember.

Wang Shen didn't urge him, just looked at him quietly.

After a while, Du Shu slapped his forehead: "Remember, isn't the Yue Pengju you mentioned the invincible hero with a spear and stick? He has already died for the country."

"What, died for the country?" Wang Shen was shocked, and grabbed Du Shu's hand: "About this, is this serious?"

The voice trembled unconsciously.

"Dao Si, take it easy, it hurts." Du Shu: "It should be true. I heard this from a soldier named Xu Qing when I was in Kaifeng."

"When I served under Uncle Kaifeng's family, there were many fellow villagers who came south from Hebei in the army. One day, I happened to hear an officer speak my Xiangzhou dialect, so I went up and asked, and found out that his name was Xu Qing. I am from Tangyin County, Xiangzhou. It is a great joy to meet fellow villagers in Tokyo. I am also a person who likes to make friends, so I invited Xu Qing to a drink and talked for a long time before I realized that he is also a friend. He is an old army. When Tong Guan conquered the Liao Dynasty, he and all the heroes he knew all joined Liu Yanqing's army under the leadership of Yue Pengju, and wanted to serve the country. Later, the Jurchens invaded the Song Dynasty, and they followed the army all the way. came to Tokyo."

Du Shu continued: "At that time, I also felt strange. I asked him how many good men there are in Tangyin County, and why he is the only one left now. It's okay not to ask, but when I asked, Xu Qing burst into tears."

"Xu Qing replied, 'there were about [-] heroes from Tangyin who went to join the army together, but now he is the only one left. But Wang Yanzhi was so talented and sparse that he couldn't tolerate people. Pengju was not angry, and led the army to leave. On the way, I encountered a Jurchen brigade attacking. There are many Jurchen Tartars, and my brothers Zhang Xian and Wang Gui are gone. Although the troops were able to fight hard, Pengju was wounded in more than ten places, and finally died of festering wounds. I was the only one who led the troops all the way south and joined the Zongye's command.'”

"After speaking, Xu Qing sobbed loudly, and cursed loudly, 'Wang Yan, Wang Yan, you bastard, you killed our brothers.'"

"That's why I found out about this." Du Shu asked curiously, "Dao Si, who is that Yue Pengju?"

"Yue Fei is dead, Zhang Xian is dead, Wang Gui is also dead... the backbone of Yue's army is all martyred." Wang Shen only felt that a huge rock was pressing on his heart, and his eyes turned black.

Without Yue Fei, what would the history of the Southern Song Dynasty look like.

There is no more Yue Pengju in the world.

Wang Shen vaguely had an idea in his mind that the time he traveled to was just similar to the world of the Song Dynasty in ancient China. It was generally similar, but there were differences in subtleties.

Just like the real Southern Song Dynasty, in this time and space, there are still people with lofty ideals who are not willing to be slaves to subjugate the country and fight, spreading their blood on the fertile soil of the Central Plains, and imprinting their blood on history.

In the fierce battle, anyone can die.Wang Guineng, Zhang Xianneng, Tang Huaineng, and Grandpa Yue also have no regrets for their sacrifices.

Hate but not resist Jin's death, grief and indignation.

……

After a long time, Wang Shen came to his senses and saluted Du Shu: "Thank you for the appointment, thank you for the appointment."

Du Shu was shocked, and quickly helped him up: "Wang Junshi, how can my subordinates bear it?"

Wang Shencai wept and said: "To be honest, according to the agreement, Yue Pengju is the next father-in-law, and now the eldest son of Taishan old man is serving in our army."

Du Shu opened his mouth wide and asked after a long time: "But Yue Yunyue is the head."

Seeing Wang Shen nodding his head, Du Shu sighed, "Envoy Wang Jun, I'm sorry."

Wang Shen wiped away his tears: "Dare to ask Yuezhi, where is my father-in-law's bones now?"

Du Shu: "I'm not sure about that. I have to ask Xu Qing. However, after the infighting in the army of the Tokyo Remaining Division, the army has become a mess. Many people have disappeared, and General Xu can't be found."

Wang Shen nodded: "It seems that I have to wait until I find Xu Qing to ask again. I still have something to ask. Don't tell others about my father-in-law's death for the country for the time being." In half a month, there will be an unprecedentedly tragic meeting. The battle, his mind is full of this battle now.At the very least, the Sizhou camp must be brought out of Jinling intact from this war, but now is not the time to be sad.

Du Shu nodded: "It's understandable. After all, this matter is just a rumor. We have to find General Xu Qing to discuss the specific situation. Maybe Yue Pengju is fine. Before seeing the bones, we can't give up our last hope."

Yes, we can’t give up hope, but is there really hope? Without Grandpa Yue, is there any hope for the people of the Song Dynasty and my Han family?

For the next two days, Wang Shen seemed a little depressed.

Yue Fei did not appear in this time and space, and the future history will inevitably change.Without the Yue Family Army, could the Southern Song Dynasty be able to withstand the stormy attack of the Jurchens?
In real history, the entire situation in the Southern Song Dynasty can be said to be supported by Yue Fei.Now, this Optimus Pillar has fallen, is it true that my Song Dynasty is really going to perish?

No, no, no, my biggest problem right now is thinking too much and doing too little.

Manly man, just do whatever you want, the most important thing now is to train an elite soldier who can go to the battlefield.

There is still half a month, I hope it will be in time.

Although nothing can be achieved after ten days of training, at least the soldiers have to stand firm on the battlefield, so that they will not be slaughtered by foreigners like pigs and sheep.

There are three main training items in the first half of the month: first, physical training; second, queue training; third, tactical training.

Physical training is mainly morning running and strength training.Now after half a month of exercise, the soldiers have adapted to their bodies, and their daily running distance has increased to ten miles.As for strength training, it was nothing more than lifting stone locks and doing push-ups. The soldiers were all from farmers, so their strength was not small.Even the weakest soldier in the army can carry a burden of more than 100 catties and walk like flying.

The queue trains the discipline of the soldiers and their absolute obedience to the officers. Up to now, they have basically been able to line up the queue in a tofu block, and they will not fall into chaos when walking forward.

As for tactical training, it is nothing more than how to use weapons, and there is no need to worry about it under the leadership of veterans.

Among these three items, especially queue training is very important. After training, you can proceed to the next camp.

The so-called camp is also called field exercises.

It is to practice together with each branch of the army, and learn how to go into battle according to the military order after learning the battlefield, and how to cooperate with each other.

In one sentence, it is to tell the soldiers what is battle/
Seeing that after the first stage of training was over, Wang Shen asked the soldiers to gather on this day and began to give lectures.

"Brothers Paoze have worked hard in the first half month of training. You have endured hardships on the playground, sweated, and even bleed. By now, you are considered real soldiers."

Hearing Wang Shen's praise, more than 1000 men stood at attention with a "shua", and all puffed up their chests, showing a bit of majesty.

Wang Shen: "That's right, you are real soldiers, but that's not enough. If you go to the battlefield now, you can't do anything except kill the enemy. There are more than 200 people in our army who have been with you before. I'm a veteran who fought a battle in Plainfield, but most of you have never been on a battlefield before. You don't know how to kill and how not to be killed. What I'm going to teach you next is How to win."

"Some people may think that fighting is nothing special. It's just charging towards the enemy with a weapon. As long as you are faster and stronger than him, you can cut off his head. But I want to say today, if you If you think so, you are wrong. I guarantee that after you pull out, you will never see the sun tomorrow."

"Report!" An officer raised his hand.

Wang Shen knew this man, his surname was Ning, he was a general of the first team, he was tall and strong, he had good training results, he was a good soldier.However, the biggest problem with this person is that he is curious and talkative.

"Fourth Ning, do you have any questions?"

Fourth Ning: "Stronger than the enemy, faster than the enemy, don't you just kill him? If one person kills an enemy, doesn't this battle win?"

Yes, all the soldiers had this simple idea in their hearts.Anyway, it is killing people, killing the enemy can save oneself, the reason is so simple!
