Chapter 11 Zheng Du is about to take office

The Song Dynasty army was divided into imperial guards, wing troops, and village troops according to their ranks. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the village troops were no longer worthy of their name. They were basically just a word, and there was no such army anymore.

The combat effectiveness of this army was even less than that. By the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, wherever the disaster was caused, the army would recruit soldiers. They would directly summon these victims to serve as soldiers and eat food to avoid gathering people to rebel. Therefore, this army was just a use for resettlement of disaster victims.

The only one who still has combat effectiveness is the imperial guards. In this era, there were 800,000 imperial guards, some of which guarded the capital Bianliang, and some guarded various roads and prefectures, of course, mainly the northern border.

If we talk about the imperial guards in other places, we are afraid that it is just a sign of it. The imperial guards in the north have not fought for more than a hundred years, and the border between the Song and the Great Liao has been peaceful for a hundred years. There has never been a war in this century. The imperial guards in Bianjing are even more unbearable. However, the imperial guards in the northwest are still extremely powerful and have been fighting with Xixia, and they still win more than lose less.

"Thank you, my husband, for your support. The villain will definitely go through fire and water for you." Zheng Zhi was surprised when he heard this little husband, and he suddenly blocked himself.

This is not a small officer, but a middle-level officer. The military system of the Song Dynasty: three people are a small team, nine people are a squadron, three teams are a squadron, and the fifth squadron is a squadron, and one squadron is a squadron. A total of fifty people are equivalent to the organization level of a modern company.

As for the two brigades, the head of the Dudu is the chief officer, who is really an extremely powerful officer. Above is the battalion of 500 people, the commander of the official camp. Above is the army, 2,500 people, the commander of the army. Above is the wing, 2,500 people, the commander of the army. Above is the wing, 2,500 people, the commander of the wing.

The direct imperial guards under the command of this Xiaozhong Gong only have more than 3,000 people. It is called an imperial guard, but it is actually considered a private army of Xiaozhong Gong. The occupied quota of the imperial guards has a quota of one quota. It is not that this Xiaozhong Gong is greedy for military pay, but that this Xiaozhong Gong uses military pay to build more than 3,000 people.

These more than 3,000 people also laid a foundation for Xiaozhong's husband. The chief officials in other places occupied the vacancy to greed for the military pay. This Xiaozhong's husband is a man who loves soldiers as much as his son. As for the army under his command, there are too many, but it is useless.

As soon as Zheng Zhi joined the army, he became the commander of the Northwest Imperial Army No. 100 extremely combat-capable Northwest Imperial Army. It can also be seen that this little husband valued Zheng Zhi.

So Lin Chong or Wang Jin, although he is known as the coach of the 800,000 imperial guards, he does not know that this coach is really not a powerful official position. There are more than 5,000 imperial guards in the Northern Song Dynasty, all of which are called the coach of the 800,000 imperial guards. It can be seen that this coach is really nothing, and it is not as valuable as Zheng Zhi now.

Of course, there are also uneven coaches in this coach. There are not many famous coaches like Wang Jin and Lin Chong.

"It's not that you go through fire and water for a certain family, but that you go through fire and water for me in the Song Dynasty. From now on, you will walk in my civil servants and lead my personal soldiers." Xiao Zhong's husband was not afraid of being generous with grace. He was surrounded by people who lacked the force of Zheng Zhi, so he stayed by his side to do things. To put it bluntly, he wanted Zheng Zhi to support himself. This Lu Da was the face of the old Zhong's husband.

"Thank you, my uncle," Zheng Zhigang said this, but was interrupted by Master Zhong.

"You can't call yourself a villain in the future. If you call yourself a villain, you will lose the face of a certain family." Xiao Zhong's husband, a warrior, cares the most about the things in this face. This is also the moral character of a warrior, and the same is true for Lu Da.

"Yes, I understand." Zheng Zhi's mind was moving quickly.

"Let Luda take you down to get familiar with the plot first." Master Zhong said this and turned around and went into the yamen. It was because of the many official duties, and after the slogan, he had to go to handle official duties.

Seeing that this little husband had left, Luda came immediately.

"Zheng Dutou, you should thank the Sa family well." Luda stepped forward and said.

"Tixia, I can't repay you this time, so I'll be in the wine tonight." Zheng Zhi was really grateful to Lu Da. Without his recommendation, there would be no Zheng Du today.

Twenty or thirty people present, including camp commanders, Yu Hou, and many of them were all over the place. They all came up to congratulate. Lu Da introduced them one by one, and Zheng Zhi also invited them one by one. Tonight, the Pan family restaurant had a big business.

"Zheng Dutou, look at this is the stable. In the entire northwest, Xiaozhong Gong has the most horses, with more than 4,000 horses. His husband is all under his command." Lu Da took Zheng Zhi slowly to get to know the Guanwei Mansion.

In the Song Dynasty, there were always shortages of horses, and the places where horses were produced were occupied by Liao and Xia, so the army was all infantry. In other words, there were some military and horses in the northwest, which was one of the reasons why the Northwest Army had high combat effectiveness. Of course, this war horse was also extremely expensive. Not to mention the value of the horse, even the daily expenses were expensive.

This also shows where Xiaozhong’s military pay has been spent.

Zheng Zhi and Lu Da were moving forward all the way, and he was also quickly processing these new information in his mind.

"Tao Zheng Du, the base of this personal military commander has arrived." Lu Da pointed to a small courtyard road in front.

These personal soldiers not only had to protect this little husband during wartime, but also had to protect the safety of this civil servant. Therefore, these hundred people were extremely powerful soldiers, and they were all brave and fearless in the battle formation. They had made contributions to the personal soldiers of this little husband.

"Why did Lutijie come today?" A guard at the door saw Lu Da coming over, but he did not dare to neglect. These arrogant soldiers and generals did not accept anything else, but just obeyed their martial arts skills.

"Hehe...you haven't had a head of Du. Today, Sajia brought your new head of Du. Go and ask your team leaders to gather in the venue." After Lu Da finished speaking, he took Zheng Zhi straight into the courtyard.

The personal soldiers of this kind of teacher have never been Dutou, and there is no truly powerful martial arts under Zhong Shidao, so he kept the first position of his face. Today, Zheng Zhi is waiting for him.

Zheng Zhi and Lu Da stood in the field, waiting for the officers of all sizes to gather.

For a moment, officers of all sizes gathered in the audience and knew what was going on. They were all looking at Zheng Zhi up and down, and some people recognized who Zheng Zhi was. They started whispering below.

"Isn't this Zheng Tu from Zhuangyuanqiao?"

"It's really Zheng Tu, why did we all become?"

Everyone couldn't understand why a meat seller suddenly became his superior? He also knew in his heart that Xiaozhong's husband was not the kind of corrupt person who would collect money and sell official positions.

Everyone was even more puzzled. After being smarter, they came to a conclusion. Maybe it was Zheng Tu who used some tricks to deceive his husband and got the official position of the capital. Everyone was convinced.

Before Luda could introduce it, some of the dozen officers below asked first.

"Lu Tiexia, isn't this Zheng Tu, a meat seller? Why did we all become our heads? Didn't it be that Diexia was free to spend time with us?" The person who spoke was the head of a brigade below the personal soldiers, named Hu Jingzhong.
