Chapter 239 Wife (Seventh)

Gu Duwei replied: "Wang Zhechong, please don't worry about the combat effectiveness of the soldiers here. Because they have lived on the border for a long time, the folk customs are wild, and with a little training, they are all first-rate fighters. It's just the number of soldiers in the government."

"Say," Wang Hua had already made preparations.He also read some history books, and Kong Heizi continued to explain them to him along the way.For the current corruption of the government soldiers, he already has a rough shadow in his heart.

"Wang Duwei has read all kinds of books. He should know that Fanwei County is dominated by mountainous areas, and only a few valleys are suitable for people to cultivate. Therefore, the population is sparse, and some people are forced to do business due to helplessness. Therefore, the number of people is not large. There are fewer children, and there is no way to deploy more mansion soldiers. There are similar situations in the two Zhechong mansions of Wutai and Daizhou."

"Gu Duwei, tell me directly, how many soldiers are there in Zhechong Mansion?"

"This time, the Fubing was selected the year before last. There were 580 people, but one of them went hunting in the mountains and had an accident. Another person was killed by the Hu people outside the Great Wall because he was secretly engaged in business. Now there are only 580 people left." Said. At this point, he said to Yu Canjun: "You take the roster and let Wang Zhechong have a look at it."

Wang Hua nodded her head after hearing this, she was not very emotional, she was originally a subordinate mansion, but now there are not enough soldiers in the mansion, there are five hundred people, what can they do?But it's not so bad that it can't be saved.He asked again, "What about the equipment?"

Embarrassment appeared on Gu Duwei's face, and he said hesitantly: "I dare not hide it. It is because of poverty. Except for a few people who are better off, most of the people's government soldiers are not equipped enough. Because they rely on mountains and eat mountains, they all have bows and arrows. They are all unqualified bows and arrows. As for weapons such as armor and mo knives, they lack even more, and they have no money to buy them unless they are forced to desert. In addition, there is the problem of war horses, and there is even a shortage of horses. Among 580 people, if If you make up the cavalry, you can only make up 67 people, including us."

Hearing this situation, Wang Hua smiled wryly.It is impossible to fight now without an elite cavalry.Adding weapons, horses, armor, and other equipment, that's not counting. When he entered the county town just now, he saw what the county town looked like.Because Fanwei County is a small county, the city walls are dilapidated and must be rebuilt, at least a rough repair.

I only have ten thousand coins in my arms.First of all, we need to buy five hundred war horses. Do we really need to chop off the horse's legs?That was the Yue Family Army.Now a war horse in the capital costs [-] coins for an ordinary one.Maybe to the border, because it is close to the Great Wall, it is relatively cheaper.But it won't be cheap.

Wang Hua said: "I know the general situation. But I want to remind you that in March, the Turks attacked the city of Taiyuan. That is Taiyuan. The city has a large wall and sufficient troops. What if they attack Daizhou?" ? Our soldiers from the Zhechong Mansion will definitely go to battle. Think about the situation of using this motley army to fight against the Turkic people. Everyone, when the time comes, your life and mine will be in danger."

Hearing what Wang Hua said, everyone's expressions changed.

Wang Hua said again: "I'm afraid you don't want to die either, and I don't want to die either, at least I can't die like this. So we have to make some preparations."

How to prepare?Everyone was at a loss when they heard this, and now the surrounding government soldiers are like this, and they can't change it even if they want to change it.

"First of all, the war horse. I want to know the price of the war horse here. It is best to have the cheapest war horse path."

Liu Bingcao replied cautiously: "Look at what kind of horse it is. Ordinary horses can be bought for less than twenty cents. The worse ones only cost a few cents, but those horses are old horses. Buy them back." There is no other use except for pulling goods and plowing land. A slightly better war horse costs [-] yuan. There are also cheaper ones, but..."

At this point he hesitated.
"Just say it."

"There is one way to go, that is to go outside the pass and buy it directly from the barbarian. You can buy a good war horse for [-] yuan. There is another way, which is cheaper, to bring the goods from our Dazhou to barter. The cost is only ten cents."

"Well, this news is very good, but I don't know which general is familiar with this trip?"

Hearing what he said, all of them looked ugly, and Chen Changshi said, "Captain Wang, you didn't know you just came here. First, this is not in compliance with the formalities. Second, the way Liu Bingcao said is a secret business, and you can't go through the border checks." Yes. Thirdly, we don’t have such money.”

Don't look at them as officials ordered by the imperial court, but in the Zhechong mansion off here, there is no money to fish, and life is miserable, not even a county lieutenant in Gong County.

"I have some money here." Wang Hua took out a large stack of flying money from his arms, the eyes of these generals were shining, there must be no malice, Guan Jian had never seen so much money.Wang Hua said again: "The money seems to be a lot, but it is far from enough to build an elite army."

Speaking of which, he took out five thousand coins and said to Liu Bingcao: "It's up to you, go with Captain Gongsun to handle this matter, and be sure to bring me back four hundred to five hundred horses, and the better the horses, the better they are." The better."

"But Lieutenant Wang, this is against the rules and the court's law," Liu Bingcao now regrets saying this.

"Don't forget, I am the only full-time examinee of the Imperial College. I am more familiar with the law than you, and I also know that it is not legal. But think about it, when the war comes, our entire army is wiped out, and even I may die in battle. On the one side is an excellent full cavalry, who made great achievements, not only me, but even you will be promoted immediately. Where to go, Liu Bingcao must understand the importance of it. Besides, our illegality is for the court , to build an elite army for the country. The intention is good. Even I am willing to spend so much money, why don't you?"

If the doctor of the Imperial College was here, he would definitely think that the little guy is repeating his old tricks again.

"Liu Bingcao, you can go, if you don't go, I will go!" It was Duan Duan who made Wang Hua's heart flutter.A full cavalry, with such an army, not to mention starting a fight, is also majestic during training.

At this time, Wang Hua said: "However, this matter must not be spread to outsiders. The heavens and the earth know it, and everyone here knows it. Otherwise, it will have an impact on everyone's career in the future."

Everyone nodded, it's not considered a serious crime, there is no stealing or robbery, but it involves doing business as a soldier, as well as smuggling and dealing with barbarians behind their backs.Neither is good.

There was no other way, he didn't want to die, and he even wanted to be promoted, so Liu Bingcao had no choice but to frown and agree.

The expression on Wang Hua's face was still calm, but he felt very satisfied in his heart. In this way, everyone can only be firmly tied together when they get into the water.It's like a county is full of corrupt officials, and you don't go into the water as an honest official, okay?Don't go into the water, repel, suppress, until you are crushed to death.

From the moment Liu Bingcao nodded in agreement, Wang Hua took the first small step.

Wang Hua said again: "There are horses and weapons. Which one is familiar with Taiyuan?"

"I," Wang Hua lost his voice, and Kong Heizi replied.

"You? Come on," Wang Hua shook his head, you should be more stable.Wang Hua turned to the others.Yu Canjun stood up and said, "If Captain Wang trusts me, I'm from Taiyuan Prefecture. I grew up in Taiyuan. Let me handle this matter for you."

Wang Hua took out another four thousand coins and said, "Why don't I believe it?"

This moved Yu Canjun very much. After all, this is not a small sum. If he creates a fake account, he can embezzle a large amount of money.In fact, this money was not important to Wang Hua, nor did he take it seriously.Once the new porcelain comes out of the kiln, it will generate huge wealth.Besides, there is another way, he did not intervene, otherwise he might transform himself into one of the most famous rich men in the world.

But this trick bought people's hearts.The first Tianwang painting not only tied everyone together, but also captured everyone's hearts.This is the second small step out.Wang Hua said again: "I know that this money is not enough. You can buy a hundred pieces of armor first, plus some weapons. I will figure out a way later."

"Captain Wang, I will definitely take care of this matter for Captain Wang."

"That's good, but remember, it's not for me to do this well, but to do it well for everyone." When Wang Hua said this, everyone's heart warmed up, and even Liu Bingcao didn't feel wronged. .Wang Hua looked at Gongsun Yun's youngest son again. There was no one else he could trust, and all the people present were officials appointed by the imperial court.It's just that he is a small captain and can move freely.But the age is too young.

Gongsun Yun saw it, and asked, "Captain Wang, what matters do you need my dog ​​to help you with?"

"I don't dare to serve you anymore, Chen Changshi, you pick two honest and shrewd soldiers over here, and then I have a letter," said Wang Hua and wrote a letter, which made Aunt Gongsun, the younger brother, under the protection of the two soldiers. Next, take it to Gongxian County, and then force [-] yuan from his father to come here.Do you really want him to be a landlord in the future?
Only then did Wang Hua wave his hands and said, "Let's leave, everyone."

"Then what should I do?" Kong Heizi was anxious.

"After the summer harvest, there will be a big military training," Wang Hua replied.

"Military training? Isn't it going to be winter?" After hearing what Wang Hua said, Chen Changshi stood down and asked hesitantly again.

"Rules are dead, people are alive, time waits for no one." Wang Hua pointed to Beidao.

Everyone was silent again.In the past few years, the Turks have been invading and harassing thousands of miles from Youzhou to Xiazhou, and they have never stopped.God knows when they will be insane and become interested in Daizhou.

After a few days, everyone started to get busy.Wang Hua was not idle either. He and Kong Heizi started from Fanwei County and went all the way to Daizhou to inspect the terrain.He didn't know much about Wang Hua, but Kong Heizi was a little better, and taught him how to defend and attack this mountain, where to put that road, and what effect it has.These are things that cannot be learned from books.

On April [-]th, even the barley and wheat in Fanwei County began to turn yellow. Wang Hua returned to Zhechong Mansion from the outside, and a soldier guarding Zhechong Mansion came in to report.He said: "Captain, there is a little beggar outside who wants to see you."

Having said this, he showed a strange expression on his face, and said again: "I wanted to drive her away, but she claimed to be the captain's wife."

What kind of wife do I have?For Xiao Yuzhen, there is actually no hope at all.But Wang Hua is not depressed, the age difference between the two is too big, and he has no tendency to loli control.Who was joking, waved his hand and said, "Drive him away."

After thinking about it, he took out some coins from his pocket and said, "Give him the money by the way, and then tell him that I'm not married, let alone a wife. It's better to make less jokes like this in the future."

After a while the government soldiers ran over again and said, "Captain, it's not good, the younger one said it, but she didn't want the money, so she committed suicide with a knife."

PS: The seventh update was sent out successfully, and I will prove here this afternoon that even being sick can't be used as an excuse.hehe.In the end, I was also playing the sad card. I had no choice but to bite too hard, so I had to shamelessly ask everyone for votes.It's not a big problem, but I did hang up two bottles of salt water, and the doctor also asked me to pay attention to rest.It was too hard.I also thank all the readers who voted for me, subscribed and recommended.Thank you, the world is big, the readers are the biggest, I will always be grateful to you.
