Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 377
Not long after Su Zhifu left, early autumn entered.

This year is a rare harvest year. The sorghum blushes, the millet bends down, and the ears of rice are heavy.The counties have entered the rush harvesting mode. Why use rush harvesting? It is because the grain is particularly harmful when it is ripe.Birds of all kinds overwhelm the sky and waste food every day.Especially the sparrows flying on the ground of the millet, like dark clouds.

During this period of time, the government and county government did not arrange any labor labor, and tried their best to harvest the autumn, but Chai Lin did not do anything.

In the government office, Master Qin looked at Chai Lin with a smile, and said, "Master Chai, it's just you and me now, so let's talk about something."

"I know I can't hide it from you, old fox. Mr. Su came from a famous family, he was young and successful, and he has a great career. In essence, he still has the kindness to me, so I can't harm him no matter what, so let him go to Luoyang .” Chailin said.

Master Qin sighed and said: "Hey, there is no right or wrong in the world. Fame and wealth are gone in a blink of an eye. The century-old foundation of the Song Dynasty is a dark corner after all. It is incomparable with that of the Han and Tang Dynasties. The world is in chaos and there is no one." Don’t think about stopping it for decades, I don’t know what you think.”

"Why do you want to go first and put it back, and you can't wait to look at your eyes first. The Liao Kingdom has Wu Yanguang as the marshal and Ali Qi as the vanguard. The [-] troops will soon go south to fight the grass valley." Chailin said.

Master Qin was drinking tea when the teacup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.

"Is this true?" Master Qin said.

"It's true, if it's fast, it will take 20 days, if it's slow, the Liao army will arrive in a month. But don't worry too much, Liao is an exhausted army. It suffered a lot from the war with Jin. It's not to occupy territory, it's nothing more than It's money and food. What we have to do is to guard Cangzhou like an iron bucket." Chai Lin.

"Even if this news is delivered to the imperial court, no one may believe it. Even if it is believed, no one may care. It depends on how the frontier troops of Hejian Mansion, Jizhou Mansion, and Shenzhou Mansion are. If they have good combat power, they can defend against the enemy at the gate of the country. If Otherwise, the soldiers of the Liao Kingdom can take the army to the Daming Mansion. We have a big problem in Cangzhou. Mr. Niu is used to eat, he will have a raging one, a raging army, and he will not hand over the military power. What are your plans .” Master Qin said.

"What's the plan? Cangzhou has just started to develop, so it must not be destroyed. Therefore, the general soldier must be a man who can fight, and the general soldier Niu depends on whether he is on the road or not." Chai Lin said.

The next morning, in the camp of the North Xiang Army in Cangzhou City, more than [-] Xiang Army soldiers were making trouble. Recently, the military salary has not been paid in March.It's unbearable to be in arrears with five hundred cash a month.

The gatekeepers sent a group of troops, mighty and mighty, the leader of the group was quite familiar, Cangzhou Township Brigade Chai Tuanlian.

He was neatly dressed in heavy armor, with endless cavalry behind him.

"Who is it, it is strictly forbidden to enter." Before the soldier finished shouting, a feathered arrow was nailed to the top of the hat with a swish, and he swallowed the rest of the sentence in shock.

The gate of the camp was wide open, and the cavalry filed in. First, there were 1000 or [-] heavy cavalry, riding tall horses, wearing armor, holding spears in their hands, bows and arrows on their backs, and sabers on their waists.All of them are air-conditioned, comparable to Xi Xia's iron kites.

Followed by two thousand cavalry, riding a small steppe horse.But everyone has leather armor, a bow and arrow in their hands, and a saber on their waist.

Behind the hall was a battalion of [-] heavy armored horizontal swords, each of the soldiers was tall and burly, wearing heavy armor, this step of armor weighed thirty to forty catties at least, and even weaker ones couldn't wear it.He held a sharp horizontal knife one and a half meters long in his hand, and a big ax hung on his waist.

Chai Lin also invested in capital today, and transferred Lin Chong and Sun An's two heavy cavalry battalions, Pang Wanchun's light cavalry battalion, and Wu Song's heavy infantry battalion.

"gather."

With an order from Chai Lin, the entire Xiang army bombed the camp. What's going on?The township soldiers have come to command the Xiang army. Isn't this a mess?

The situation is stronger than people, so it is better to be obedient.

On the high platform, Chai Lin shook the letter of appointment and said: "The soldiers of the Liao Kingdom are suppressing the border, and now they are in a state of war. From now on, I, the Cangzhou regiment trainee, will become the general soldier of Cangzhou. The original cattle general soldier resisted the search because he was greedy for the army's salary. Has been suspended."

"We want to see Mr. Niu," said Mr. Niu's cronies.

Among them, more than a dozen are relatives and brothers-in-law of Niu Zongbing, etc., who are closely related.

Chai Lin said: "Give you a chance, put down your weapons and armor, go home and pack up the gold and silver, and go home to retire."

"Go back as soon as you say, what are you? We want to see Zongbing Niu." These dozen or so people are quite stubborn, and people are like this sometimes, and their heads are short-circuited.

Extraordinary times required extraordinary means, and Dian Zhengnan led dozens of soldiers up there, all tied up with leather ropes.

Chai Lin asked, "Where is the military judge?"

"Yes." The military judge stood up.

Chai Lin asked: "How to deal with those who don't listen to orders and insult generals during war?"

"Cut according to the law."

Chai Lin waved his hand and said, "Push out the gate and cut it off."

The axeman with the ghost-headed knife was ready long ago, just waiting for someone to refuse to accept it, and came back in a while.

The three thousand soldiers were all stunned, this new general is really ruthless.

Chai Lin asked: "They have already gone to see Zongbing Niu, who else wants to see Zongbing Niu, stand up."

Chai Lin asked three times in a row, but no one answered, and now Zongbing Niu is probably on his way.

Chai Lin said: "Whether it's a village soldier or a Xiang army, they are all elders in Cangzhou and grew up drinking water from the same river. Whether you love the people in your hometown or not, the water in your hometown is beautiful. From now on, there will be no distinction. The township soldiers and the Xiang army will be reorganized into the Cangzhou Army. I will give you time to think about it. Those who are unwilling to continue serving as soldiers will leave their weapons and armor and leave on their own. Those who are willing to stay will be paid three months of salary today. People reward one mu of land. Light incense."

Liu Zhuang took a short incense and lit it. It took about half an hour, no one left, and there was no other sound in the entire school field except the sound of the horse breathing.It's not that no one wants to leave, it's that they don't dare.

Thousands of troops stood there in the dark, especially the [-] heavy cavalry, all of whom only showed their eyes.

When the time came, Chai Lin said: "Okay, very good. Everyone is good. From now on, they will be my brothers who live and die together. Come, send money, and issue land deeds."

The [-] Xiang troops temporarily confiscated their weapons and lined up to receive the money. Everyone made up the three months' money they owed, and they were issued according to the eight hundred documents.There is also a one-acre land deed, although I don't know where this land is.But the officer said that the income of one hundred yuan per year in this place can be passed down from generation to generation.As soon as the fingerprint is pressed and the title deed is received, it is the Cangzhou Army.

Dozens of live pigs were pulled into the barracks by mule carts, and jars of sorghum liquor were brought in to reward the armed forces.

The food has been greatly improved, and the living conditions have been upgraded to a higher level than before.For ordinary soldiers, adaptation is a very good thing, only the original Niu Zongbing's cronies are not happy.

Lin Chong and Sun An led [-] heavy cavalry to retreat.Pang Wanchun led [-] light cavalry to set up another camp nearby, and Wu Song led the Hengdao Battalion to take over the Xiang Army.

The Xiang Army hasn't made much progress in recent years, instead it has lost troops and generals.

The Three Thousand Xiang Army has a total of 500 cavalry and [-] infantry.Go to Hengdao Battalion to receive [-] infantry, and [-] light cavalry will be transferred to Pang Wanchun's Qingcai Battalion.

　It's the beginning of the month, ask for a monthly ticket, a recommended ticket.
