Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 499
Chailin cupped his hands at the gate and said, "You two brothers, you have worked hard all the way."

The journey was hard enough, with boats, carts and horses, but when thinking of those brothers who passed away, Monk Deng burst into tears.

"It's nothing to work hard. The poor monk and Shi Bao desperately protected Princess Jinzhi to come out."

Chai Lin didn't speak, but patted the shoulders of the two of them.

Zhu Wu said: "Do you two brothers have doubts, why did General Chai not send troops to support the Jiangnan rebels?"

Shi Bao didn't speak, but he did have this kind of thought in his mind.

"All the northerners in the Cangzhou Army use firearms. Needless to say, when you arrive in the south of the Yangtze River, you will not be able to adapt to the environment. If you don't fight, you will have to fall ill first. In addition, firearms are afraid of humidity. In rainy weather, they are simply burning sticks. You guys How can we fight this battle? It is impossible for General Chai to send his brothers to die." Zhu Wu explained.

Chai Lin didn't explain from the beginning to the end, because there was no need to explain: "In a few days, I will go to Yangma Island to bring Princess Jinzhi back. Let her be quiet first. After this catastrophe, it will take time to accept it."

Deng Yuanjue wiped away his tears, the Cangzhou Army and Fang Lajun are nothing more than the friendship of selling food twice, it is impossible to fill tens of thousands of lives for you.To save is a matter of affection, not to save is a duty, there is nothing to blame for this.

Deng Yuanjue and Shi Baona bowed their heads: "From now on, the two of us are willing to saddle up for my elder brother and act like a dog and a horse."

Chai Lin hurriedly supported him: "With two heroes joining us, our Cangzhou army will be even more powerful. Come, enter the camp, and I will introduce some generals to you two."

At this time, the sound of war drums and horns sounded in the camp, and twenty pairs of snow-white horses rushed out, each with a big red flower on their heads, and the light cavalry on their horses wore armor on their helmets and held big brass horns in their arms.

The gate of the camp was wide open, accompanied by Chai Lin and Zhu Wu, Shi Bao and Deng Yuanjue entered the camp.

Thousands of heavy armored cavalry stood on the school grounds, each with dazzling armor, shining in the sunlight.

Chai Lin first introduced Shi Bao and Deng Yuanjue.

The reputation of these two people is also very loud, the generals in Fang La's camp, they are very famous characters.

All the generals came over, and the ancestor was thin and slender, with a leopard head and eyes, and a long spear in his hand.

Zhu Wu introduced: "This is the head coach of our Cangzhou Army, General Lin Chong of the First Heavy Cavalry Army."

Lin Chong is a softer person, clasping his fists together: "Lin Chong has seen two brothers."

Holding the mace, Qin Ming laughed loudly and said, "I don't need a military advisor to introduce me. I'm Qin Ming, who rides heavily in the three armies."

Immediately behind him was a big man with an unshaven beard, holding a large iron ax in his hand.

Deng Yuanjue said, "Isn't this brother Li Kui?"

The man with the big axe said: "I'm Mi Sheng. I'm looking for Li Kui to compete in martial arts. It's a pity that he went to Liuqiu."

It turned out to be a fierce general under Wang Qing's command. Obviously, after Wang Qing's failure, his generals also dispersed like birds and beasts, which made it easier for the Cangzhou Army.

Next to Mi Sheng was a man with red hair holding a pair of crutches.

"I'm next, Yuan Lang. I've met Brother Shi and Brother Deng." Yuan Lang nodded his head, but didn't say much, because the two sides were not familiar with each other after all.

Chai Lin accompanied Shi Bao and Deng Yuanjue to inspect the heavy cavalry, light cavalry and infantry.

Yuan Lang and Mi Sheng also just came here not long ago, they were recruited by elder brother Hu Cheng.After Wang Qing's failure, the two lived in the Jianghu, without food and clothing. They came here as soon as they heard that the Cangzhou Army was recruiting talents.Chai Lin temporarily placed the two of them as lieutenants in Qin Ming's heavy cavalry, and arranged for them after familiarizing themselves with the military system of the Cangzhou Army.

Chai Lin said: "Brother Shi and Brother Deng, you two also saw it. Cangzhou is divided into cavalry, infantry and navy. I wonder what you two are more interested in?"

"I'm still more interested in cavalry," Shi Bao said.

"I'm also more interested in cavalry." Deng Yuanjue mainly wanted to have someone to accompany him, because it was too lonely when he was alone.The old friends in the Jiangnan Army died, died, and it was only Shi Bao who could talk together.

Chai Lin said: "The two of you will go to the Linchong Heavy Cavalry Battalion for the time being, and make other arrangements later, how about it?"

Shi Bao said: "But according to my elder brother's order, the mountains of swords and fires will not frown."

The two of them went with Lin Chong for the time being. As for how to arrange Chai Lin, they had already made plans.

The Cangzhou Army has three heavy cavalry, and the light cavalry is much worse. Pang Wanchun is still in the northwest.

Now the Cangzhou Army has matured and developed, and it is rare to recruit generals like this.Because it has its own general training system.During this period of time, the recruits of the Cangzhou Army were greatly expanded, and it was a coincidence that four generals were recruited just in time.

More than a month passed, and autumn came.

The corn was as big as the beer bottle, the rice bent over, and the sorghum blushed.

Peanuts are white and tender, cotton has white flowers, and sweet potatoes bear red fruits.

What a harvest scene, this kind of scene is rare.

In Qingzhou, people have started to cook corn cobs and sweet potatoes and pumpkins. Hunger is over and a good harvest is coming.

In Dongping Mansion, Cheng Wanli didn't fall asleep for several days.

In summer, there is a big harvest of potatoes. Farmers who would run out of food in summer in previous years have hundreds of catties of potatoes. Although eating this food every day is annoying, it is much better than eating nothing.

Cheng Wanli came to the mountain area to inspect the work, dressed in casual clothes, just like an ordinary middle-aged uncle.The biggest feature of this year is that the corn grows very well. There are many heavy rains in summer, and the corn stalks are more than two meters high. On average, there are several ears of corn on one corn stalk.

The sweet potatoes are not yet fully mature, and the anxious people have already started to harvest them. In fact, they can grow for another two months.

Mr. Jia said: "Cotton is also growing very well, and the people are picking it. It's just that a lot of cotton has been planted in recent years. It is estimated that the purchase price given by the merchants will not be too high."

"Businesses travel hundreds of miles and strive for profit. How can they buy without profit. The harvest of grain and cotton, at least the people have enough food and clothing, this first goal has been achieved. Let the people have money, that is the second This goal belongs to a higher-level goal, and we may not see it at this age. A few days ago, Chai Lin wrote to say that he will transport thousands of mules to Dongping Prefecture one after another, so that Dongping Prefecture will take the lead in realizing agricultural animal power " Cheng Wanli said happily.

Master Jia is also happy, this official is comfortable.

We must know that in an agricultural society, the biggest problem for local officials is how to feed and clothe the people. This problem alone is extremely difficult to solve.

The weather is unstable, there are droughts, floods, strong winds, and locusts.

Potatoes, the time is short, sown in early spring, and harvested in early summer, effectively avoiding waterlogging disasters.

Corn has thicker stalks than sorghum, stronger wind resistance and higher yield.Sweet potatoes and peanuts have strong drought resistance and strong stress resistance.Even if there is a drought, it can be harvested to some extent, so as not to fail.
