Chapter 10 Wu Ji Training (Part 1)

Song Shenzong was paying attention to Wu Ji, and Wu Ji also wanted to take this opportunity to win a good battle and contribute to the implementation of the new law.

The ending of the Song Dynasty has been proven by history: if you don’t reform, you will die!

The Song Dynasty was destroyed without reform!

Wang Anshi's reform was indeed a good opportunity for the Song Dynasty to become stronger. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, it ended in failure. The Song Dynasty actually destroyed the Jurchens and the Mongols.

"The shame of Jingkang" and "the affairs of Yashan" have made countless descendants cut their teeth!

If he can contribute to the reform, Wu Ji will definitely do his best. This training is not just about training, but is closely related to the new method.

Wu Ji asked the soldiers to pay off their debts the day before yesterday, and the soldiers followed them correctly, which shows that Wu Ji enjoyed a lofty prestige among the soldiers. His words were orders, and no soldiers dared to refuse to follow. This was a good start.

This starts well, and Wu Ji's next training will be much smoother. However, the facts are far from what Wu Ji thought. They are cruel, and they are so cruel that they shatter all Wu Ji's hopes.

"Is this a soldier? Is this a soldier?" Wu Ji looked at the Song army driving in groups, feeling a little unbelievable. He thought he had read it wrong. After confirming it repeatedly, it proved that he was not wrong.

The Song army that drove the first team was a gunman. The one who led it was Li Mingchu. Li Mingchu had a shaved beard, tied up his hair, and wore a new suit on his body, and was full of energy. He was completely different from the beggar who wanted to kill officials and rebel when Wu Ji first met.

This was a good thing, but he had no helmet or armor. Although he drove with the gunman, he had no gun in his hand.

There were no less than a hundred gunmen in a group, and only thirty or twenty people in armor. The rest were all dressed in new clothes, not military uniforms, but people's clothes that could be bought on the market. Brand new ones should be newly purchased.

There are only a dozen guns. The gunman, as the name suggests, is a soldier who uses guns. Their main weapon is a gun. The gunman of hundreds of people actually only has a dozen guns. How can this not shock Wu Ji?

This is not counting, the good show comes later. As the Song army emerged, the problems of the Song army were fully exposed.

The second team drove the knife hand. The knife hand was similar to the gunman. It was either missing armor or without a knife, and it came with bare hands.

The only highlight is that the brand new clothes are well-tied and no longer like beggars.

The third team drove the archer, just like the gunman and the knifeman, with only a few bows.

The one who came out in the end was not the army, but the caravan. There were about two hundred people, and the ones with the most neat equipment among the five hundred Song troops. Their equipment was not swords, guns, bows and arrows, but horse and mule carriages, and wearing the clothes of the people, like servants.

Walking in his head was Shang Yuan. He was dressed in silk and satin, which was extremely luxurious. He took a fan inappropriate manner in his right hand, and kept shaking it. He also had powder on his face, which was quite white, a bit like a soft-eating little white face.

He came with big strides and felt a bit rich. You can tell at a glance that he was a great official.

"Shang Yuan, what are you damning?" Wu Ji's eyes almost hit the ground, and he couldn't help but shout loudly.

"Commander Wu, you don't know anything. We are going back to Yibing! Return to Yibing!" Shang Yuan lifted his robe and ran over quickly, and greeted Wu Ji: "Commander Wu, we go back to Yibing to make money for Command Wu! Command Wu, what kind of business do you want to do? Qinlou Chuguan, sell tea, smuggling horses, armour, and trading silver with Japanese people... As long as Command Wu gives orders, brothers will go up to the mountain of swords and sea of ​​fire, and never frown! Brothers, do you think so?"

He turned around and rushed back to Yi Bing's howl. The fan in his right hand opened unexpectedly. After slapping it a few times, he realized that it was a cold weather, and using this thing was inappropriate, so he had to close it.

"Is this what I want to go back to Yibing? I want to open the Qinlou Chu Pavilion. What a shame you can say?" Wu Ji rolled his eyes and felt powerless. Qinlou Chu Pavilion is a brothel, and it is a matter of having a child without anal hole.

"Commander Wu, you are a good person and don't want to do this. But that guy He Wanquan loves to do this kind of thing the most." Shang Yuan held his finger and reported loudly: "We have three Qinlou Chu Pavilions in Xiongzhou. He Wanquan is still not satisfied. He wants to drive to Youzhou and Bianjing! He wants us to sell tea goods, and he can earn thousands of taels of silver a year, all of which are greedy. Commander Wu, if you don't want to open the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, you can do other business, tea goods, porcelain, horses, and weapons, all of which are very profitable..."

He was very familiar with this, and he became more excited as he spoke, his voice became higher and higher, and he was talking in a whisper.

"Enough!" Wu Ji waved his hand and interrupted Shang Yuan and asked, "How many times are there in Yibing?"

"Report to Commander Wu, there are not many, only about 200 people, about 40%!" Shang Yuan was still excited and gave Wu Ji an idea: "If Commander Wu is too young, you can send some brothers here. The younger ones will definitely do a good job of Huiyi!"

"Fourths! Four percent, not much?" Wu Ji was covered in black lines.

"Commander Wu, how about 40%? Although He Wanquan is abominable and greedy for military pay, he is much more courageous when it comes to Huiyi. Some garrisons have no less than 60% of the return Yibing! If Commander Wu is willing, even if he turns all his brothers into Huiyi, no one dares to say no!"

Shang Yuan had a good business acumen and settled the score for Wu Ji again: "Commander Wu, you must know that brothers are taking the military pay from the court to get you back. You don't have to pay your wages, and you don't eat yours, and you don't drink yours. It's more cost-effective than raising slaves! No matter how cheap the slaves are, they will consume some food a day!"

40% of the Hui Yi Bing was not a big deal in the history of the Song Dynasty. It was no problem to have 60% or 70%. Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi, known as the "Four Generals of ZTE", turned the entire army into his Hui Yi Bing, making a cow and horse for him and making money.

Therefore, the people compiled nursery rhymes and ridiculed them. They ridiculed Zhang Jun’s nursery rhymes: Zhangjia Village had no reason, so he asked him to lift his stones. The two saints still couldn’t save themselves, so they were building a Taiping Building.

A nursery rhyme that ridiculed Liu Guangshi: Liujia Village has no reason, and it is easy to return to two hundred states. The healthy man is still inferior to the beggar, and he hides the tall buildings in the school with gold pearls.

From this we can see how horrifying Hui Yi reached in the Song Dynasty. These Hui Yi soldiers took the military pay from the Song Dynasty and ate the imperial grain of the Song Dynasty, but made money for the generals and filled their personal pockets. Although the Song Dynasty had the intention to ban it, it could not ban it. The more ban it, the more it was banned, it reached its peak when it reached Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi and others.

"You, you... listen to me! From now on, return to Yibing will cancel it!" Wu Ji was speechless when he heard Shang Yuan's words, pointed at Shang Yuan and issued an order.

"Ah! Cancel?" Shang Yuan thought he had heard it wrong, and was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses: "Commander Wu, you are loyal to the court, selfless and do not love money, but you don't need to cancel it! No matter what, you have to maintain Huiyi. If you don't want it, 20% is the lowest amount of Huiyi Bing in the Song Dynasty army."

20% return to Yi Bing, which was the lowest limit for the Song Dynasty army. Even the famous general Yue Fei maintained almost 20% return to Yi Bing.

If Wu Ji maintains 20% of the return to the army, Wu Ji will be a selfless general and a role model for the Song army, which is enough to make Song Shenzong give an order to praise it.

"Commander Wu, you don't have to cancel, leave some! Leave 20% of it, no one will talk!" Huangfu Song also came to advise.

"No!" Wu Ji said firmly and loudly: "Return to Yibing, cancel all of them, no one will be left! You are soldiers of the Song Dynasty, so you must train and fight the enemy like soldiers, instead of doing business!"

"Really cancelled?"

Hundreds of soldiers all spoke in surprise, looking surprised, thinking they had heard it wrong.

Huiyi is of great use to Wu Ji. Of course, Wu Ji will not use soldiers to Huiyi, he just needs to use Wu's military industry to give this name.

"Shang Yuan, I order you to end all the transactions immediately! Well, the women in Qinlou Chuguan should give them enough money to keep them safe for the rest of their lives! If there is any violation, serve the military law! You can hear it clearly!" Wu Ji paused word by word, his tone was extremely harsh, which made people dare not have any doubts.

"Yes! The little one receives the order! The little one will do it now!" Shang Yuan was stunned at first. Hearing Wu Ji's tone was very strict, he couldn't help but sweat and ran to handle it.

Before he could run far, Shang Yuan turned around and knelt down at Wu Ji and kowtowed: "Commander Wu, although you canceled Huiyi, the young one could not get benefits from it and cut off the small one's wealth path, but the young one still has to say, Command Wu, you are the master of Qingtian! The master of Qingtian!"

"Wu Qingtian! Wu Qingtian!"

The soldiers roared in unison, shaking the sky with endless joy.

Wu Ji brought them enough joy, but unexpectedly, there was such surprise. No matter what, people like Wu Ji would definitely get the favor of the soldiers.
