Chapter 75 Forming an Army
Time flies September.
Song Yu also received news from Linjiang Prefecture in Xin'an Prefecture.
"Well, I'll go down to Linjiang in one month. Now I have control over the entire mansion and are attacking Qinglong Pass!" Song Yu rubbed his brows, "This hidden dragon fortune is indeed extraordinary. According to what he said, the Linjiang Prefecture City and the counties, not to mention the great governance, but also to maintain peace in the people's livelihood. The families of all generations did not secretly make any moves. It's really terrifying!"
"Now, I can only hope that the guardians of Qinglong Pass can delay me for more time!" Song Yu stood up, looked at the direction of Qinglong Pass, thinking.
"Forget it, the most important thing is myself. I have to integrate my troops as soon as possible, fight Qin Zongquan, and win Xin'an, so that I can fight for it!"
Song Yu stood up and came to the military camp. As soon as he left the tent, two personal soldiers followed. Both were very brave, with their eyes shining brightly. They inspected the surroundings, were always wearing armor and serving them in close proximity.
This is a good seedling selected by Song Yu. Everyone has the ability to capture dragons and fight tigers. Song Yu has tried his best to solve the difficulties for them. Those with family members have all given homes and fertile land. They don’t need to farm themselves, they just need to enjoy happiness. In this way, they have already been able to die in their personal guards.
When Song Yu saw it now, he felt even more satisfied. He was surrounded by his personal soldiers and began to inspect the military camp.
All the troops were stationed in the battalions, in an orderly manner. When the soldiers saw Song Yu, they saluted solemnly: "See the Grand Marshal!"
Although there are thousands of troops in the entire army, the entire camp is extremely quiet. There are occasional military songs and horns sounds.
Song Yu nodded. In ancient times, in addition to training troops, what was more important was the word "raising". Real famous generals had to work hard on supporting the army.
This is not only sufficient offerings and strong body. It also requires learning to accumulate energy and spirit. It is usually like a tiger lying on its own, and its mind is leisurely. When you arrive at the battlefield, you must transform into Shura and block the Buddha and kill the Buddha.
This well-raised soldier can be used for ten years, and it is strong and has no hidden diseases left on the battlefield. Compared to other troops that can only last for five or six years, this momentum, experience, and force are much better than that, and it can be called a powerful army that can win every battle.
Of course, Song Yu's soldier is still far from it, but he also has a trace of shadow.
Song Yu was very happy. Starting from scratch here, there are naturally many measures that can be arranged first to lay the foundation for the future.
Most of the training was spearmen. Song Yu set up a bow and arrow camp and axe camp to select those with extraordinary arm strength to enter, and reserve preparations for the future.
As for cavalry, southern horses are really rare, let alone waste.
A horse, a solar eclipse of five people, is more expensive in military horses, and it also needs to add eggs and other nutrients, which is really unaffordable.
Song Yu gritted his teeth and built a cavalry team with fifty cavalry, which was already unbearable.
In the military camp, a martial arts lecture hall was set up, which stipulated that lower-level officers must go to school. To learn some words, at least you must understand official documents and teach some simplest knowledge of the battle formation.
This was also a forced one. Other princes had a family of Su Jun. If the generals surrendered to the army, they could naturally be used as officers and ordered to unify the army.
But when I arrived at Song Yu, there were only a few followers and I could only train them by myself.
But there is also Meiyu among the civilians. Song Yu also found some generals among these two thousand people.
For example, there was a man named Luo Bin, who was very skilled in martial arts and had a reputation for being brave. He also raised horses for the wealthy family, was proficient in equestrianism, and was a talented cavalry general. Song Yu was very happy and appointed as the chief of the cavalry team. Because the cavalry was not in the infantry army, he also had a ninth rank official.
There were also two others, Dian Lang and Pan He, who were both brave and stood out in the competition, and had some talent and knowledge. They were not ignorant martial artists, but also had good fortunes and were both appointed as the chief of the Yingzheng.
Song Yu thought lightly, climbed to the station, and waved his hand and the sound of the horn sounded.
The military camp immediately started to move, and after three times the horn sounded, the army had already assembled.
Song Yu looked down from the high platform and saw soldiers standing in the camp, holding weapons in their hands, with a solemn expression. The entire army was silent.
He couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, and showed joy and joy. It was worth the effort of the whole day and night, sharing the joys and sorrows, and exhausting his mind. These refugees finally formed an army!
Issued an order: "Military Parade!"
The messenger immediately issued an order.
The army formation moved slowly, and each battalion stepped forward in turn, formed a military formation, and passed the point and the swords to practice, or swept with a gun. They were all neat and orderly.
After the drill was completed, the soldiers shouted: "My lord wins! Ten thousand wins!"
This sound, one wave higher than another, and many people's faces changed color.
Song Yu smiled and specially invited wealthy families from two counties to watch the ceremony, which was a sign of pressure. Now, seeing that the heads of each family were intimidated by the strong army and their faces were pale, they knew that before his defeat, these heads of the family would not dare to make big moves.
When he calmed down, he saw that waves of luck gathered above the heads of these two thousand soldiers, turning into a mysterious and awe-inspiring military aura, and then pouring towards him.
The dragon-qi Red Snake got military energy and rolled on the spot. When he got up again, his appearance changed drastically. His scales were shining, his fangs grew, and he had a fierce aura. He hissed, his eyes were shining, and his body was coiled in a circle, as if he was about to pounce!
"In the chaotic times, military power is the most important, and the luck is greatly increased!" Song Yu said in his heart: "With this luck, it will not be inferior to Qin Zong's power. Next, we will completely conquer Xin'an..."
After seeing off the anxious heads of the family, Song Yu finally left the military camp and came to the county government office.
In the conference hall, Song Yu's subordinates gathered together.
Song Yu was wearing a python robe and sat upright on the main seat, looking around, and was even more heroic.
Everyone below, both civil and military, bowed: "I have met the Jiedushi! Congratulations to you for your strong army!"
Song Yu raised his hands and said, "Everyone is free from gifts! During the training of the army, I have to rely on you to handle chores!"
He paused and asked again: "Shen Wenbin, what is the situation of the victims?"
Shen Wenbin stepped out of the line and bowed and said, "After the adults recruited soldiers that day, they evacuated the porridge shed. There were not many refugees left. They kept repairing houses and roads and doing some chores, but they have been a little unstable recently. They want to cultivate land and get food!"
Song Yu was cautious about it. These refugees are all powerful and will definitely be eaten up by themselves. Only by letting them farm themselves can they last for a long time and provide taxes.
But the problem lies in the land. In the end of the dynasty, land annexation was serious and the fertile land was in the hands of the landlords and the large landlords, so where was there any extra land?
If it were in the previous life, Song Yu would have no choice, but here, the people live on the city, even the countryside, and the same is true for the fields. The closer the fertile fields to the county town, the higher the value, and most of them are in the hands of large households. The outermost part is the land for rural self-cultivated farmers and tenants.
When you go out again, there will be evil ghosts wandering around, and the farmers dare not go out to cultivate. In fact, there is still surplus in the land.
However, these are not something that can be solved now, otherwise, they will only expose their relationship with the City God.
Therefore, Song Yu said: "The refugees later don't care about them first, and they can't control them. But most of the ones that arrived first were military families and they must be properly resettled. Just as it was the time to harvest in the autumn, the taxes should be raised. I will allocate another sum of money and grain to ensure that the refugees are settled. By next year, I have my own plans!"
Shen Wenbin was a little confused. He didn't know what his adult plans, but he could only retreat first.
"Song Si, what is the tax situation?" Song Yu asked again.
Song Si came out: "The disaster has eased this year. Although the local area is not well-known, there are also medium-familiar things, which is quite good!"
"The young master has trained strong troops again, which shocked the little ones. The big families in these two counties did not make any trouble and successfully collected them, with enough support!"
"Okay! Only in this way can I have the confidence to argue!" Song Yu was overjoyed.
Everyone was shocked, and Ye Hongyan stepped out and asked, "Your Majesty, there will be a big battle!" There was a hint of eagerness to try in his eyes.
Song Yu nodded: "Qin Zongquan, I'm afraid he can't stand it anymore. When we harvest autumn, he also harvests autumn. If there is enough food, we can start a military army."
He sneered again: "I raised an army in the name of the imperial edict and declared Qin Zongquan a rebel. It happened that the Li family in Linjiang received the true imperial edict, and this momentum arose. Most of the people in Xin'an were half-believing and half-doubted."
"We are in Xin'an Mansion again, which is equivalent to a confidant. It is like a thorn in the throat and will not vomit easily. Then Qin Zong's loyalty is a bit unexpected until now!"
"Come to report secretly that Qin Zongquan has rectified his troops and armor, and has raised 4,000 troops and attacked in person."
"Hehe! Even he dares to go out of the city to fight, how can I rebel against the other party's kindness?"
Song Yu said slowly: "Ye Hongyan!"
Ye Hongyan bowed: "I'm here!"
"You raise your army immediately and pass on the orders. Song Hu will come. We will join forces to compete with Qin Zongquan!" Song Yu issued a military order, and his evil spirit rose.
"Master, why not defend against the city? The enemy army has only 4,000. When traveling a long distance, you will be exhausted and attacking the city again, which will ruin your spirit. Our army will take the opportunity to fight and will win!" Ye Hongyan advised.
"Hongyan, you have a good plan, but for generals, you can think so. For generals, you cannot only care about temporary gains and losses."
Song Yu had high expectations for Ye Hongyan and was willing to give some advice.
Seeing that Ye Hongyan was still a little confused, Song Yu said again: "Our army is newly trained and has a strong morale. Once we defend the city, we will easily lose our ambition. These are the seeds of future expansion of the army. How can this be done? Only by defeating Qin Zongquan head-on and experiencing blood and fire, our army will have a dignified and upright momentum and become an elite soldier. I can also use this momentum to command the whole mansion!"
In fact, there is another point that Song Yu didn't say. He was originally a legitimate son of a wealthy family and had no fame. As for the imperial edict, the people below believed and half doubted it, but most other wealthy families still knew it.
Before, Dongshan County was captured, it was also a sneak attack. It had no prestige and was unstable. If it was fought to defend the city, not only would the morale be low, but even the big families in the county might rebel. At that time, the inside and outside would be a real big problem!
Song Yuning would rather have a big battle with Qin Zongquan than want a fire in his backyard.
The two armies were in a row and the possibility of any accidents was very small. Song Yu did not expect that like Zhu Shiliu, he would be lucky and would have won a big advantage for nothing, just to confront him head-on.
He had confidence in the soldiers he trained. Moreover, the wealthy families in the county did not dare to take action before they received the news that his entire army was destroyed. Are they not afraid of Song Yu's victory and confiscating his family and extermination afterwards?
