Chapter 68 The Sea of Sand and Dust and Dark Clouds-2

If others say that he is unwilling to be transferred to the Dragon Tooth Army, Jin Changtai must think that he has been cheaply sold or deliberately pretentious. However, he had a good relationship with Zhao Xingde, so he didn't think so, but sighed and said: "Looking at the military documents, the military affairs will be handed over within a month." If it is in another army, we can also retain the captain in the whole battalion and resign this order. But in this way, it is difficult to be promoted to general. However, the captain of the Chengying Military Academy itself was not recommended by the sergeant, but appointed by the military government, so Brother Zhao could not shirk this order. He stretched out his hand and patted Zhao Xingde's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "The general has a team of 100 people, these brothers in Liaodong, choose the ones you can take with you." If you are transferred to the Dragon's Tooth Army, even if the centurion is the ten-captain, and the ten-captain can only be an ordinary sergeant, they will be willing to follow. The identity of the Dragon Tooth Army is not allowed to be revealed, if it is an irrelevant person, he can only tell him that Brother Zhao has been transferred to the Jiaorong Army. ”

Zhao Xingde nodded slowly, he looked into the distance, and fell into deep thought. The state and county officials of Kanto have always come to any place in the near future, so there are sayings of "traveling eunuchs" and "post houses". The sudden arrival of the order evoked some of Zhao Xingde's feelings back then. Originally, when he was studying in Taixue, he thought that for individuals, this was a cultivation path of reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles. However, it is not beneficial to the governance of the locality, and since the officials are passing by in a hurry, they regard the locality as a post station, and they have a lot of energy, and eight or nine points are used to seek promotions and promotions, and it would be good to have one or two points to spend on their current posts.

Zhao Xingde transferred to the Dragon Tooth Army, which is the land of the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, and he can't stand without arms. However, although the situation in Liaodong improved, it was not possible to take away all the capable officers, making it difficult for Kim Chang-tae, who succeeded him as a lieutenant. Thinking of this, Zhao Xingde couldn't help but secretly admire the arrangement of the General's Mansion, Jin Changtai himself was in charge of many military affairs, and he was a good friend of himself, and he succeeded him to preside over Liaodong, which was the most secure in all aspects.

On the sailor's gunboat at the Lion's Mouth Pier, Li Sihai ordered Chen Kang to be taken to the guest room, and two sergeants were arranged to guard the door. He himself took the military newspaper handed over by Wu Mai and swept it from beginning to end. A smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he handed the general report to Wu Mai. When Wu Mai saw it, his eyes suddenly widened, and he exclaimed: "Liaodong is in a good situation, how can you transfer Captain Zhao to teach the Rong army?" ”

Li Sihai sighed and said in a low voice: "I'm just not afraid that it's not the Sect Rong Army." ”

"What?" Wu Mai was taken aback again, he had never wanted to doubt the military report in black and white. Generally speaking, the marching Sima was more well-informed about the news and movements of the imperial court than the lieutenant. But Li Sihai is not an ordinary person. He said casually, sometimes seemingly inconsequential, even absurd, but often after a period of time, he found that he had actually learned the truth. "That's," Wu Mai frowned and hesitated, "Captain of the Dragon's Tooth Military Academy." He remembered that Zhao De came to Liaodong and made many meritorious achievements, and this sudden transfer back was even more strange, and he believed a little in his heart, and sighed, "I looked away, I originally thought, there are several highly respected captains, even if Captain Zhao has high merits, it will not be his turn to be the general of Chengying." In the battle of Liaodong, Captain Li, your credit is not small. ”

His latter sentence seemed to be upset for Li Sihai. According to the usual practice, the military government generals are promoted to the Dragon's Tooth Army, but when they are foreign generals in the future, they often return to the original army, so as not to have the result that the soldiers are unfamiliar. Zhao De is the captain of the dragon tooth, and it is likely to succeed him as the general of the Chengying Army. At that time, Li Sihai may have to succumb to Zhao De, making Wu Mai quite worthless.

"He may not return to Chengying in the future," Li Sihai said something that surprised Wu Mai again, and then said, "In the future, our fourth battalion will become a Great Xia Naval Division and open up thousands of miles of sea territory." How can you care about these things? He patted Wu Mai on the shoulder and turned back to the cabin.

The Dunhuang Protectorate Mansion had just finished its deliberations, and the familiar captains walked together in twos and threes. When the sun set, everyone's faces were a little heavy. The Liao State cleanly solved the Jurchen troubles, and the northern Murbo tribe revived. The Song State sent troops to forcibly seize Kyushu after the mountains, and the captain of the Protectorate Mansion discussed and argued day and night. The Andong Military Division, the Military Intelligence Division, the Road Cao, the Baggage Division, the Anbei Military Division, and the Prime Minister sent people to the Protectorate Mansion many times to explain the specific situation, and the Protectorate Mansion finally decided to go north and then south. Before the scourge on the grassland was completely pacified, the Song State was temporarily retreated. Because the Song State closed the Hangu East Pass, the trade between the two sides was cut off, so that the workshops and caravans in Shuzhong and Guanzhong suffered heavy losses. The Protectorate ordered the envoys to see the Emperor of Song and restore trade between Guanzhong and Guandong, Shuzhong and Jiangnan as soon as possible.

"If Captain Yang is not busy, let's go to Huayue Tower and sit."

Yang Ren looked back, but it was Yu Zangyun, the captain of the Tiger Wing Military Academy. Both of them are from Guanzhong. This Huayue Building is named after Wuyue Huashan, which is a place for the banquet of fellow villagers in Guanzhong, and Yu Zangyun invited him warmly, and Yang Ren smiled and said: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

In the past ten days, the Protectorate Mansion has discussed the war of the Great Song Dynasty, and Yu Zangyun and him have the same hatred, and they all advocate that Kyushu behind the mountains was originally a place where the Liao and Song Dynasty fought, and for this reason, it was not a loss for the Xia State to attack the Song Dynasty. Because the Song State is vast and has many people, once the war starts, the civil and material resources that can be used are almost endless, and the war against the Song Dynasty is difficult to end in the short term. Among the captains from Guanzhong, the two were the most popular, and finally persuaded the other captains to give up the idea of attacking the Song Dynasty.

On the third floor of Huayue Building, the two of them sat down, Yu Zangyun smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice: "This time, Captain Yang spoke up righteously, so that Sang Zi was free from the pain of swords, Yu admired it, and first gave Captain Yang a cup." With that, he raised his glass.

Yang Ren said with a smile: "Where is it, Yang also thanked Captain Yu on behalf of Guanzhong's father." "As the saying goes, if you are courteous to others, you must ask for something, Yang Ren didn't know what Yu Zangyun was doing, so he only spoke to him politely. If it comes to the interests of Guanzhong, Yang Ren cares several times more than Yu Zangyun. He is the captain of the White Feather Military Academy, no more than Yu Zangyun is a member of the Tiger Wing Army.

Sure enough, after three rounds of drinking, Yu Zangyun sighed: "I really didn't expect that Zhu Yanheng almost folded in the hands of the grassland barbarians, if it weren't for Chen Chong's wisdom and courage to save the situation, the consequences would be really unimaginable." He put the wine glass on the table and said regretfully, "Chen Chong has the talent of a general, and he has made great contributions, but not only did he not reuse it, but he was transferred back because of this, but he was a talent." ”

Yang Ren picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "That's the military government's love for His Royal Highness the Prince." He changed the subject, "There is also a meritorious person, Zhao De has also been transferred back, which is really strange." Although there were some rumors some time ago, the Military Intelligence Department later clarified them. Now that Liaodong is employing people, I don't know why the military government transferred him back. Is it just because he has a bad relationship with Kanto, and Zhao De is from Kanto? Zhang Shanfu does not seem to be like such a small person. ”

"Captain Yang doesn't know," Yu Zangyun smiled and said in a low voice, "This is for the fire gun battalion." ”

"What about the Musket Battalion?" Yang Renqi said, "Didn't you clarify a long time ago that it has nothing to do with Zhao De?" ”

"No, no," Yu Zangyun shook his head, "It's not the Song State Fire Gun Battalion, but the Fire Gun Battalion of my dynasty." He had been brought back to train the gunners. As a captain of the Tiger Wing Military Academy, he was more well-informed than others, and when he saw that Yang Ren was still unknown, he explained again, "The gunner, who can shoot projectiles from a distance and stab with a gun at close range, is indeed somewhat useful." Although the Guangzhou City of the Song Dynasty used the exiles to train the gunners, although it cannot be compared with the elite soldiers of our dynasty, it can subdue the vassals outside the country, and its combat power cannot be underestimated. The Military Intelligence Department learned that the Liao State had seen great things in Hejian and Suzhou, and also tried to establish a gun battalion in Xi Jundang. In this case, how can I be left behind? And to train the fire gun battalion, except for Zhao De, there is no better candidate. ”

"General Guan Zhong tried to train a hundred battalions, and 50,000 regiments practiced and switched to using muskets, I know about this," Yang Ren frowned and said: "But if Zhao De came to train the battalion, he was not transferred to the Anton Military Division, but transferred to the Dragon Tooth Army, what is the reason for this?" Using the elite of sergeants as gunners is too much of a waste of talent. ”

"Brother, the Dragon's Tooth Army is not training ordinary gunners, it's centurions." Yu Zangyun picked up a glass of wine and said with a smile, "This Zhao De was specially transferred back to train officers." He was born in an artillery battalion, and he has the qualifications of Chengying, he can intimidate the elite, and he has personally led the fire gun battalion to fight. It is only fitting that he can be used to train officers. ”
