Chapter 101: You go and finish the cannon you have made

"The old man knows the affairs of Mengzhou on behalf of God and manages the military and politics. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info so Mengzhou's military merits don't want the old man, but without the old man's documents to recognize these military exploits, don't count, what do you think? Chang Wei said.

"Ming Gong underestimated the lower officials, of course I know that the seeers have a share, and you will have to take a cut for helping to sell things. This is the 10,000 guan prepared by the lower officials for the Mengzhou Yamen. Please laugh. After speaking, Gao Fangping took out a bill signed by Jiang Wen and handed it to Lao Chang.

Lao Chang really looks at people through the cracks in the door, he just doesn't say it, Gao Fangping's style has never been eaten alone, and indeed, without Lao Chang's approval, these military exploits can't be sold, and they are also given to him from the moral and business rules.

Chang Wei hesitated for a moment with the bill, knowing that it was very good to get 10,000, although the proportion was too low, but only his kid could sell his military merits at such a high price, so don't blush.

So Lao Chang nodded, confirmed the bill, and handed it over to the money tax official next to him to enter the account.

One of the advantages of Lao Chang is that although he is also a hooligan and can rob, he will only pay into the account of the Mengzhou Yamen. As for him personally, although his salary is not as exaggerated as Uncle Zhang's, he can be regarded as a local tyrant, which cannot be used up.

"Okay, that's over. I ask you, how is the reorganization of my Mengzhou army? Chang Wei asked again.

"All of them are like wolves and tigers, not afraid of death, brave and good at fighting." Gao Fangping opened his mouth and broke blindly

Lao Chang twisted his beard and said, "But the old man heard that you will only hang the officer up and smoke it in prison after you get drunk?" ”

Gao Fangping spread his hands and said: "This is my classic military training method of the Great Song Dynasty, and the kid's talent is limited, so he can only imitate my courtiers and ministers." Specifically, as soon as Mr. Cao, the first martial artist of my big official family, came, and the big thing can be decided. ”

Chang Wei smiled bitterly, "Do you really treat the old man as a fool? Do you think the old man doesn't know Cao Zhong's scum? When the old man was the squire of the military department, he handled the martial arts of the official family at the beginning of the year, do you think the old man doesn't know how the mallet was lifted? ”

Waterfall Khan!

He had been a squire in the Ministry of War, Gao Fangping really didn't know, and he spread his hands in embarrassment and said: "This is not a matter of the lower officials, since it is the martial arts that Ming Gong personally selected in the Ministry of War, the so-called cannon of his own appointment is also finished with tears, you still pinch your nose and admit it, if it is really not easy to use, after two or three years, after my after-sales service period, let's re-select a general who can be used to exploit." ”

"Nonsense!" Chang Wei's beard curled up in anger, "You, you, you...... How can the old man be a hooligan like Gao Yu, how can this kind of talk be as easy as buying vegetables! ”

"Well, okay, I don't know how to speak, so I still don't talk about it." Gao Fangping lowered his head and began to play tricks.

Chang Wei has no choice, he knows that this kid is so virtuous, even if he is with Uncle Ye, he dares to do this, let alone here. On the whole, although this scoundrel is bad and ruthless, he does kill a ruthless person who is determined and brave and good at fighting, and this kind of person will be of great use in the future. Although his appearance is extremely ugly, he has also left some money for Mengzhou, according to the words of Uncle Yexianggong: This kind of person can be used well, but he really can't die.

"Okay, now that the old man has withdrawn the ban, if you don't want to stay, you can leave Mengzhou on your own." Chang Wei is still talking in general, waving his hand.

"Xie Minggong is considerate, and the official will leave." Gao Fangping breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this......

Mengzhou is not far from Bianjing, and within two days, the so-called "famous general Cao Zhong" came to take office.

Chang Wei's report document to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials said: When Cao Zhong, the descendant of the general, traveled to the mountains and rivers, he happened to pass by Mengzhou, and when he saw that there was something wrong in Mengzhou, he did not hesitate to help Mengzhou quell the rebellion, suppressed the rebellion in the prison camp, and after killing one person in ten steps, he did not stay for thousands of miles, and returned to Tokyo. Probably this is what it means, and then the Cao family gave Gao Yu 100,000 guan, and Gao Fangping gave 10,000 guan to Mengzhou Yamen, and then Cao Zhong was promoted from the military attache of the eighth grade to the regiment training envoy and took office in Mengzhou.

When he arrived in Mengzhou, Cao Zhong held a banquet, invited Gao Fangping to the banquet, and called more than 20 local "famous singers" in Mengzhou to participate in the dinner, which was not lively.

only invited Gao Fangping, he didn't dare to invite Chang Wei, this bastard is so stupid, after buying Mengzhou's military exploits, he knew that Mengzhou was the head of Chang Wei, the squire of the military department back then, and he was almost so scared that he peed his pants, how could he dare to show his eyes in front of Chang?

In principle, Gao Fangping didn't know him at all, but he Cao Zhong was really a bad friend in Gao Yanei, during the banquet, he talked about the interesting things that used to make trouble with Gao Yanei in Tokyo Qinglou, and he heard the "celebrity beauties who accompany the wine" laughing, but Gao Fangping had a black line on his face, and felt that it was really embarrassing to have this kind of friend.

"Brother Gao, Mengzhou, who is my brother, is counting on you. Safety first, you have been an agent for this period of time, and you must be very familiar with Mengzhou. Do you have to remind my brother, which villages and which mountains need to be worshipped? Which ones can be ignored, and where can they be bullied and profited? ”

"General Cao" is really behind the gate, and the proper officialdom old fritters emphasized.

What he said was the real situation of the Great Song Dynasty, these guys were so cowardly, as a general with troops, he didn't want to suppress bandits, but planned to pay protection fees to the bandits after drinking the blood of the soldiers, and trouble the bandits not to make too much trouble under the rule. So it's really happy to be a bandit in the Great Song Dynasty, with such unspoken rules and soil, the bandits are all broken, and it's no wonder that they don't have a brain when they encounter problems, and they go to Liangshan if they don't agree with each other.

"Yes, my lord, the concubine is also very curious, you tell us about those bandits in the Mengzhou territory to be careful." A "female star" came over and put her chest against Gao Fangping's arm, but she was slapped on the back of the head by Jia Xiaohong.

Jia Xiaohong is very good at taking advantage of the situation, and doing this makes people misunderstand that she is Gao Fangping's wife.

"Hey, this sister is strong in martial arts, beautiful and beautiful, she is really a good person, I don't know where I found it?" Cao Zhong knew that the Jia family was Gao Fangping's concubine at most, so he dared to ridicule.

"It's Lu Junyi's wife in Beijing, come to Bianjing with me to play." Gao Fangping Road.

Lu Junyi has a very small reputation among officialdom and military generals, and General Cao didn't know that it was the onion and garlic, so he gave a thumbs up and smiled obscenely: "High, it's really high, this hand is only you who play beautifully, and only you dare to bully your wife and daughter." ”

So Yan Qing looked at Gao Fangping with ill intentions and was very disdainful.

"Okay, no kidding, brother senior, you really have to teach my brother how to do a good job in this Mengzhou prison." Cao Zhong said.

"Listen to the truth?" Gao Fangping smiled.

"To tell the truth, there is no shortage of people who tell lies around my brother, damn it is all a mallet that tells lies!" Cao Zhong was not confused at a critical time.

Gao Fangping said: "I have studied the mountains and villages under the rule of Mengzhou, and they are not in the climate, but if you trust me, don't rush to the head, don't take your brother to die." If you're not for war, then put your tail between your legs and be a man. There is no need to pay protection fees, and the well water does not interfere with the river water. It's not Uncle Zhang, his eyes can barely get some sand, as long as it's not too much, he doesn't want to interfere with those mountain kings. In this way, you can make sure that you don't make mistakes, and that is how you make it. ”

After a pause, Gao Fangping said: "The key lies in the security of all the cities in Mengzhou, the ruffians and beggars are tumors, you don't have the ability to suppress bandits, but be better to your subordinates, and give a certain benefit to add a leather whip, believe me, beggars and ruffians they have beaten, as long as they don't die." I don't always bother you. In this way, not only will you not make mistakes, but you will also have a certain official reputation, yes, the people are so simple, just then they will thank you. Now, do you think being an officer is not easy? ”

Cao Zhong licked his lips, but he was still a little unwilling to say: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, brother, although my brother is stupid, he is also a hot-blooded person, and he still wants to serve the country in general, and wants to make some military merits to glorify his ancestors, is there really no way to exterminate the bandits?" ”

Gao Fangping patted his thigh and said: "There is a way, but listen to me, if you go and kill your subordinates, it is not a credit but a sin, and it also provokes the bandits and makes them jump over the wall in a hurry, which is harmful to the country and the people." So don't do it if you're not sure. It's a credit for not adding to the chaos, you know. As for how military merit came about? You can buy it with money, and the problem that money can solve is not a problem, right? ”

General Cao laughed and said, "I want to hear about it." ”

Gao Fangping said with a smile: "When you are free, you see which bandit is not pleasing to the eye, and I will help you to suppress it, and you spend money to buy the bandit head from me and hand it over to Chang Wei." Do you think this kind of business can be done? ”

"Medium!" Cao Zhong laughed wildly as if he was not bad for money, thinking that this brother was too righteous.

Lin Chong, Yanqing and the others couldn't help but look at each other, they were very unoptimistic, could such a Great Song still be saved......

There is a more popular saying in later generations: poor literature and rich martial arts.

In fact, it doesn't mean that it takes a lot of money to practice martial arts, nor does it mean that very poor people can only study.

The real situation is that studying in the early stage is not cheaper than practicing martial arts.

What this really means is that in an era like the Great Song Dynasty, you don't need much money to be a civil official, and there will be 100,000 snowflakes of silver after three years of Qing Governor's Mansion. But generals, it costs a lot of money to lead troops, and if you want to be a qualified general, you will get poorer and poorer. And the generals of the Great Song Dynasty were very poor, so it was difficult to bring soldiers. This is a portrayal of the army under Cai Jing's rule, the barbarian iron cavalry did not dare to fight when he went south, and Cai Jing was at least half responsible.

How much does it cost to lead troops?

Gao Fangping's 500 pro-army alone gave them more than 3,000 yuan a month to drink and eat. Don't expect anyone to pay for this money, it has to be paid by Gao Fangping.

If you don't have these three thousand runs, everyone is hungry, and you go to talk to others about faith? Tell people to train hard? Don't be funny.

Therefore, when the Great Song Dynasty has reached this year, there are too many shortcomings, and there are too many things that need to be straightened out, even if Gao Fangping has Wang Anshi against the sky, and now he will immediately log in to Qingyun to start reforming, whether it can be reversed in ten to fifteen years, it is still half of half, two said.

Don't think about big things, now Xu Ning has begun to support the reorganization and reform of the eighth formation of the Japanese army. The full strength of the eighth formation was 2,500 men.

And to bring these people into elites, it will cost nearly 20,000 yuan of money every month. This is still the case of Gao Yu's big head.

If you change to someone else, 50,000 yuan a month will not be able to bring out more than 2,000 elites. Why? Because only equipment and war horses can kill the main general. Qin Feng passed by the Slightly Xianggong Breed Master, if he sent him five hundred war horses, he would be very happy to let him add ass to you. The situation is so cruel, the forbidden army does not lack good equipment, but war horses are also extremely lacking.

Only Gao Yu can mobilize the war horse resources of the palace front division and concentrate them under the command of Xu Ning, the eighth formation of the Japanese army. It's useless to change people with money. But everyone who is a soldier is rushing to ask for a war horse, and that is to be bayonet to see red.

Gao Yu is a big traitor, that's right, Gao Fangping can only rely on the support of Gao Yu's father to create more than 2,000 elites, so that this elite can do something for the country. Then Gao Yu, the palace marshal, did not do it in vain, he was a hero.

Gao Yu Niu is here, and half of the war horses of the Great Song Dynasty are in his hands. He has no right to control military orders, but the military department of the Great Song Dynasty is a virtual reality, in fact, the three yas are the functions of the small military department. Among the three ya, the Guards Ma Jun Division and the Guard Infantry Military Division are not taken seriously, and the front division of the palace should be the first.

How trusted is Gao Yu, and how good is he?

The front of the palace is straight, such as the golden gun class, these are all under the command of Gao Yu, in fact, these classes are straight, and there is an adjective called "big inner master" in later generations.

Yes, the head of external affairs and security of the Zhao official family is the traitor's father. The commander of the pro-guard army in the forbidden army is Gao Yu.

In principle, Gao Yu only mastered a quarter of the forbidden army in the country, but the elite of the elite, all the weapons and equipment, war horses and so on, all leaned towards the front division of the palace.

In this intertwined situation, Gao Fangping really tried his best, first, to collect wealth and raise the army. The second is to keep his father's official position on thin ice. Gao Yu would wash and sleep if something happened, and Gao Fangping would not be able to withstand the Jurchen going south twenty years later.

The only thing that is gratifying is that Gao Yu's father has no other skills, taking care of his son and keeping his official position is proper, and his combat power in this area is off the charts......

The affairs of Mengzhou are basically taken care of, and it is time to go home after leaving for a long time.

The fifty guards who came from Beijing together with Suo Chao invited them to a meal and drove them away. With the tiger head army and various retinues, he set off to Bianjing.

Suo Chao is a person who can be used or not. Because his subordinates are too big and the shelves are too big, Gao Fangping's temple here is small and he can't afford such a big cow, so he asked him to roll up and go back to Beijing.

Happy Forest was originally the Shi family's property, but now it has been taken over by Jiang Wen.

Shi En's father and son committed a great crime, and their homes were raided by Mengzhou. Under the hands of others, the family will also be very miserable, but Lao Chang is not angry, and he can be regarded as showing mercy to the family members of the Shi family.

As one of the assets, Lao Chang sold Happy Lin Eryi to Gao Fangping and Jiang Wen, and the price was very low. The reason why Lao Chang agreed to the low price was that the government itself could not afford to operate the Happy Forest. The second is that he knows that Gao Fangping and Jiang Wen are operating very well, and as the front station of Mengzhou, they serve the businessmen who come and go to Mengzhou well and contribute to Mengzhou's finance and taxation. To do this, I am a hero here in Lao Chang.
