Chapter 225 Shandong has a big thief
As soon as Li Gang arrived in Yanshan County, the first thing he did was to inspect the military camp. It was mainly because Li Gang was interested in military facts. The magistrate of Yanshan County was naturally the direct leader of the Yanshan County Imperial Army.
The original Yanshan magistrate naturally could not mobilize these arrogant soldiers from the northwest, but the new Li Boji was different. Everyone knows that Li Zhixian was invited by his husband from Tokyo in person, and that Li Zhixian was a familiar friend of his husband.
Knowing that County Magistrate Li was about to come to the military camp, more than 100 Western Army and dozens of Cangzhou soldiers lined up early.
As soon as Li Gang entered the school, he couldn't help but feel a little excited when he saw this scene. This was the first time he had actually seen the generals in the camp. More than a hundred war horses lined up in line, and dozens of Cangzhou soldiers were not used before, so he stood neatly.
A tall knight came forward and dismounted to pay homage to him: "Gao Xiang, the head of Yanshan Mountain, Beizhi, greeted him!"
Li Gang smiled and bowed, "You are polite to Gao Du. I heard that your Western Army is very capable of fighting. You should have some experience today."
Gao Xiang is naturally an old military formation under Zheng Zhi. He has dark skin and is about thirty years old. He stands in front of Li Gang with straight body and does not bow his head at all. Since ancient times, those in the lower class mostly follow the superiors. Only under Zheng Zhi has only one requirement, which is to raise his head and straighten his chest.
"Magic Magistrate Li invites to the general stage. Today, I am a humble person to take the brothers to perform martial arts." Gao Xiang made a gesture of invitation and led Li Gang to the general stage. He had no sense of modesty in his praise, and he wanted to see some real seals for Magistrate Li to see.
Li Gang slowly walked up to the small-scale platform and sat down. He looked at Gao Xiang again, and took a few steps from the platform, sat steadily and left.
Dozens of Cangzhou soldiers gave up their schoolyards at this time.
On the school ground, the commands were shouting, and arrows were flying, and more than a hundred strong horses were galloping, and the arrows were raining continuously. The hundreds of riders were like one man, sometimes left and right, or rushed straight, sometimes sweeping across the rows, sometimes tightly forming a group...
Li Gang stood up from the seat, smiling. Although he couldn't understand the important details, he could watch the fun. There was also the tight arrow that was only twenty or thirty steps away in front of him. Li Gang was not afraid at all, but was even more excited.
After several trips left and right, hundreds of riders rode their horses back to the general's platform. Li Gang got off the general's platform and Ying Gaoxiang. He spoke closer and praised: "Gaodu, men are good at shooting and riding!"
Gao Xiang quickly dismounted and replied, "The shooting technique is not bad, but this riding technique needs to be practiced more."
Li Gang thought Gao Xiang was modest and praised: "Gao Du Head, such riding skills are really amazing. A hundred riders are like one person, and the formation changes like an arm's command. It's so high and tight!"
"Missar Li, you have never seen the riding skills of Dangxiang people. When we were building a city in Huizhou with my husband, the Dangxiang cavalry attacked the village. Everyone could stand on the galloping horse's back. The two-meter-high village wall flew up from the horse's back and turned over and entered the camp. That riding skills were amazing." Gao Xiang explained that the way of riding skills was still slightly inferior after all.
Li Gang was even more interested when he heard the words and asked: "In Tokyo, people say that Dangxiang people are vulnerable. When they see our army, they fled. It turns out that Dangxiang Qiang people are so powerful? Gao Du said how to win later?"
It’s not that Li Gang had such an idea. Even if Lu Da and others talked about the battle formation at the dinner table, they mostly talked about how to kill happily, and they didn’t really talk about these details. Lu Da and others also spoke in their tone of disdain for the Dangxiang people.
Gao Xiang was very happy to see Li Gang being so interested and said with a smile: "When I talked about that day, I was really happy. We followed my husband to fight against the enemy. The enemy general on the opposite side was Dangxiang Jinjiawei... But when it comes to Dangxiang people, riding skills are really better than us. If Li Magistrate Li doesn't believe it, he has time to go to Cangbei to see where my husband's 500-meter cavalry capturing is there, and riding skills are really good."
The more Li Gang heard, the more excited he became, and he spoke, "Your husband was really brave when he was fighting. There are also legends in Tokyo recently that your husband is like Duke Wuxiang, Gao Dutou, how about you go with me to the city to have a few cups today? Have a chat while eating."
Gao Xiang bowed and smiled, "I would like to thank Magistrate Li."
"There is another thing you want to allow me, even if you borrow a good horse from your army, I will practice riding skills. If you have the chance in the future, you will go to the battlefield with Mr. Zheng." Li Gang said again.
If someone else wants to borrow horses, it is something that the door doesn't have. Li Gang borrows horses, Gao Xiang agreed without thinking and said, "Tomorrow I will send a message to the management office and pick up a good horse to send to the magistrate's office. Where can I ask Li County to borrow horses? The old horses in the magistrate's office are really useless. They are skinny and thin, and you will lose your identity while riding."
While walking and talking, Gao Xiang settled his army and entered the city with Li Gang.
There were announcements everywhere in Qingchi City. The government recruited soldiers and actually paid 2 stagnant monthly salary and food subsidies, which naturally attracted many idle men in Qingchi City to watch. There were also people from the government sected to keep reciting the content of the announcement.
Hearing the sound of paying two stakes per month, the scene became enthusiastic. The soldiers of Cangzhou have only received a few hundred stakes, but this new husband is calling the stakes, and he has a stake of two stakes and also has a food subsidy.
When the notices from the three county towns were posted, the idle men in Cangzhou were still furious and rushed to the military camp.
Cangzhou is already a martial arts trend. Although it is not a glorious thing to eat food when you are a soldier, you can't resist the lure of money and food. Another thing is that no one thinks that this stable Song Dynasty would fight, and the Song and Liao dynasties did not fight for a hundred years, and those who served in the army were really a waste of food and wages.
This situation was something that Zheng Zhi did not expect. It was difficult to attract slaughter. Unexpectedly, in Cangzhou, there were tens of thousands of idle men and military men who were removed from the list by Zheng Zhi.
This is naturally a happy thing. Only with more soldiers can you choose excellent and strong people, and you will naturally be able to strive for excellence.
The wineries outside the city have also begun to produce wine, and the restaurants and shopping malls in several county towns are also being established, and everything is in an orderly manner.
Then there is the salt product.
Zheng Zhi sat in the main hall behind the yamen lobby, drinking tea without adding anything, and asked Zhu Wu beside him: "Zhu Wu, how about you withdrawing the people from Shaohua Mountain to Hebei?"
Zhu Wu didn't understand why, but said, "Brother, Shaohua Mountain is too far away, straight to the northwest, so you can call Yang Chun and Chen Da to come to Hebei. But I don't know how the rest of the people on Shaohua Mountain will arrange it?"
Zheng Zhi said straight without thinking, "So let them enter Erlong Mountain. In a short time, Erlong Mountain will fight against the Confucius brothers in Baihu Mountain, which will have more combat power. I have also made arrangements for Chen Da and Yang Chun to follow Wu Song to take the salt road in Shandong, which is also a good help."
After all, Shaohua Mountain is Zhu Wu's base camp, so Zheng Zhi naturally has to communicate with Zhu Wu for these arrangements.
Zhu Wu heard the words and had no objection to this arrangement. It was also a good thing to let his two good brothers come to Hebei to meet. He only asked: "My husband, that Shaohua Village can earn hundreds of coins a month and nearly ten thousand coins a year. It's a pity."
"Haha...it's no pity. A few hundred guan is a lot, but now we are all in Hebei, so we naturally have to integrate our forces. Now we are not short of these hundreds of guans." Zheng Zhi smiled, but he smiled and became serious again, and said, "You should know some things now."
Zhu Wu saw Zheng Zhi with a serious look on his face, quickly sat up straight and asked, "Please tell me, please!"
"Now in Cangzhou, there are many prefectures in Hebei in the west, and to the south are many prefectures in Shandong. Our soldiers are strong and strong. How can we strengthen our strength and make contributions?" Zheng Zhi spoke bluntly, and even directly mentioned his ambitions to Zhu Wu, because he was not satisfied with such a Cangzhou strategy.
Zhu Wu was shocked when he heard this. He thought that Zheng Zhi had achieved success and made great achievements. He would manage this land well and enjoy the official position he earned with his life. Just like a generation of descendants from Northwest China, when he heard Zheng Zhi's words, he naturally knew that Zheng Zhi was not satisfied with the status quo and hurriedly said: "My husband, it's true that the army is strong, but there is no war in Hebei. How can he achieve success?"
Zheng Zhi looked straight at Zhu Wu, and after a moment, he slowly said, "How can there be no war? There are big thieves in Shandong!"
Zhu Wu asked in confusion: "My husband, there are no big thieves in Shandong. Shandong is the most powerful than Liangshan, so it is not considered a big thief. Even if there are big thieves in Shandong, it is not our turn to Cangzhou to suppress the thieves."
At this time, Zheng Zhi heard Zhu Wu’s question and was about to tell his own way to kill his heart. However, he smiled slightly and said, “There are no big thieves in Shandong? I will raise a big thief and I can’t use my Cangzhou. Then let him use it.”
Zhu Wu was shocked when he heard Zheng Zhi's words, and his heart was also turbulent. If Zheng Zhi hadn't said this, Zhu Wu wouldn't dare to think about such a thing. He slowly came back to his senses and said, "Did you have a certain plan? How should you raise this thief?"
Although Zhu Wu was shocked, he could accept Zheng Zhi's words. Those who could become enemies are naturally brave.
"The big thief doesn't need to be raised too much. One of them went to Liangshan. The Liangshan is naturally powerful. We just need to sit and see if it is powerful, so we can raise it." Zheng Zhi said again.
It is also the reason Zheng Zhi said. As long as Zheng Zhi does not take action to disrupt the rhythm of Liangshan at this time, Liangshan will naturally become more powerful, and it will be so big that it will sweep away Shandong and Hebei invincible hands.
However, Zheng Zhi also had to control this situation. It was time to take action. Liangshan became a difficult problem. That was to shoot himself in the foot.
It is also a difficult task to grasp this, so Zheng Zhicai wanted to know Zhu Wu and have another person to give advice.
Zhu Wu thought for a moment and replied, "If the imperial court comes to suppress the enemy, I am afraid that my husband's troops will not be able to use."
Zheng Zhi smiled but said nothing, but he had a certain plan in his mind. If Gao Qiu could not suppress him, Tong Guan would come to play his own way.
How can we control the Liangshan forces within a controllable range and allow Liangshan to defeat Gao Qiu? It depends on Zheng Zhi's methods.
