"What the prince said is that the lower officials will go back ......" Wang Hou wanted to say that he would go back and strictly control it, but he couldn't help but dare not say it.

The people are strong? This is not what someone used to back then, you are gone, but the problem has developed, and a representative will poke it here, plus a Mrs. Ji, let others take care of it. At this time, you will say cheap words, who knows if your sentence is true and which is false!

"Take your time, the priority is not to restrain the population, but to defend against foreign captives. The Tangut people were repulsed, but they could not be guaranteed to come back in a few years. This king doesn't have time to play with them again and again, this is the official certificate of the court, can he accompany this king to Xingqing Mansion for a while, and completely eradicate the border troubles for the Great Song Dynasty? ”

Compared with the old general Wang Shao, Wang Hou is a little too steady, but his essence is still good, he has been guarding Ganliang Road for so many years, and he has not said that he will change his course when he sees that he has lost power, and he will immediately turn his face, and try to keep everything that can make the border pass stable and the people rich.

But the more this kind of person is, the more difficult it is to suddenly change his ideology, and it is difficult for him to follow him and the court against him. What to do? Hong Tao's eyes rolled, and the bad idea jumped out.

You're loyal and patriotic, aren't you? Well, while we still have the title of the head of the Xia Soldiers and Horses, I will transfer you away from Ganliang Road, and when you follow me to take the Xingqing Mansion and get on this thief ship, if you want to continue, even if I can agree, the court will no longer trust you.

At that time, Wang Hou only had two ways to choose, either he tied himself up and went to Kaifeng to pray that the emperor would soften his heart once, or he would stand on the side of King Qi and prepare to be a supportive minister.

It's really impossible to let Qi Wang Xiaozhi move with reason, which one is sweet and which one is bitter, Wang Hou can handle it. Besides, this is not a rebellion, the throne is still from his old Zhao family, it should be called a return to orthodoxy, and it will not lose the face of their Wang family ancestors at all.

Wang Hou naturally did not doubt King Liang's intentions, it was the long-cherished wish of two or three generations of his family to sweep away the Xixia people, and now it must be a good thing to realize it in his own life.

As for the question of whether the forbidden army on Ganliang Road could be mobilized without the will of the imperial court, he felt that when he was on Hebei Road, his father also took the forbidden army to follow King Liang on the expedition, and it was also the Jinglu pacification envoy Zhang Ji at that time. As a result, Dad became a big hero, and Zhang Jian became a privy deputy envoy.

Obviously, sending troops abroad to defend against the enemy is not a private transfer of troops, and the officials of King Liang can control all the forbidden troops fighting against Xia, and theoretically as long as they agree and do not violate the arrangements of the imperial court, they can follow the new army. Anyway, so far the imperial court has not given any orders in this regard.

But you can't just go, Liangzhou needs someone to guard, this candidate Wang Hou and Hong Tao have a more unified opinion, that is, Ganzhou town guard is desperate. He annihilated more than 50,000 enemy troops in one battle and captured 20,000 less, which was enough to temporarily dominate the military power of Ganliang Road.

Taking advantage of the free time a few days before the expedition, Hong Tao hurriedly did a few things, first held a funeral for the wasp in a beautiful manner, and buried him in the valley where Fu Ji used to be a secret den.

At the funeral, Hong Tao personally made up a chivalrous story for the wasp, regardless of life and death, breaking through alone, running hundreds of miles with more than ten arrows in his body to find reinforcements, and saving more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Lanzhou.

Although the story is a bit exaggerated, there are representatives of the military and civilians of Lanzhou who came to pay tribute instead of King Qi, not to mention the people of Ganliang Road, even Wang Hou and other officials believed it.

The people have always respected the tragic hero, and they are afraid that they also want to have such a figure who can stand up at the critical moment to be blessed by their side, so they raised money and contributed to build a general temple for the wasp in Liangzhou City.

As soon as the foundation was laid, people came every day to pray for General Huang's apparition to bless the place with peace and well, and even if there was something, it had to be like Lanzhou to save the day.

After establishing the image of a hero, it is time to compensate the military and civilians. It doesn't matter how the court rewards Hong Tao, but according to the rules of Ganliang Road, whoever has been injured and lost his life to protect his hometown naturally can't lose anyone.

The name will be engraved on the stele for future generations to remember, and the delegates will unanimously agree to distribute the pioneer fields near Ganzhou to the wounded soldiers and the dead of the forbidden army. If you want to settle down here, it's better to sell your acres of land if you don't want to settle down, and you can buy a lot of family businesses when you return to the mainland with this money.

In addition, Hong Tao paid his own money to buy 500 acres of land for the children of the pioneers who were accidentally injured by the new army, which was regarded as compensation. Of course, this money can't be spent in vain, and there is more to follow after the ceremony.

Recruitment, the new army has to recruit soldiers, not conscription or conscription. The reason for recruiting is simple, revenge! King Liang will lead his troops to pacify Western Xia in one go, so as to avoid further disasters in the future.

In fact, it is only necessary to talk about the latter reason, not to mention the difference between conscription and conscription, the new army can get enough troops to replenish in Ganliang Road, so much so that the weapons are not enough to be distributed.

Ganlianglu, whether it is the Han people or the Tibetan people, has understood a truth more than ten years ago, a good life is not to be begged, nor to endure, but to be earned.

Many of the first generation of pioneers and local herders followed the New Army to plague the yellow-headed Uighurs and yellow-headed Tatars. As the saying goes, horses have no night and grass is not fertile, and these people have some harvest after they come back, more than the harvest of a busy year.

Since then, there have been basically no bandits on Ganliang Road, even if there are really people who can't survive, they also go to the Western Regions to commit crimes, and they don't dare to rob the Great Song Dynasty caravan, and they specifically pick foreign merchants to start, and after robbing, they can run back to Ganliang Road to settle down.

They all knew that it was too dangerous to loot at the door of their homes, and that the women and children of any family would pull out their knives and the outsiders who robbed their belongings desperately, and if they caught up with the veterans of the New Army, they could say that whoever robbed them.

The government and the deputies will not be merciful in cracking down on bandits, but they will not resist the robbery of foreigners at all, as long as the rabbits do not eat the grass next to the nest, everyone can be safe.

It is not a shame to be a horse bandit on Ganliang Road, and even more, when it comes to farming or winter, some young men will secretly follow the bandit gang to the west to make a windfall. If you are lucky, you will make a fortune to go home and buy land, and if you are unlucky, you will die, and no one is to blame.

This invasion of the Tangut people can be regarded as a disaster for everyone, and there are not many casualties, but every family has burned down the fence of their houses for the sake of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, and the cotton and wheat in the fields cannot be taken care of, and the herd at home has no time to put it, so the losses are very large, and they cannot be slowed down for a year or two.

Think you're unlucky? That's not the character of a pioneer. The road to find the Tangut people for revenge is too far, and if they go, they will be sent to death. As a new army, this method is too good, and you can take revenge by taking a lot of money.

Or is it the same sentence, if you are lucky, you will get rich with revenge, if you are unlucky, you will die, and you can still wait for others to repay your own revenge?

In less than five days, the number of people who signed up for the new army reached 6,000, not counting those from Huangzhou, Maweicheng, and Suzhou. They have a long way to go, and the news is slow, and I am afraid that it will take three or five days to come.

"Quickly let the representative council withdraw, and if you recruit your husband again, I will really become a poor egg!"

Hong Tao didn't interfere in this work, and completely handed it over to Fu Ji and Wang Qi, but as soon as he picked up the statistics brought by Fu Ji, he didn't even enjoy the Thai massage, and his face was full of sorrow. There is no one in hand, in a hurry, there are more people in a hurry, there are not enough guns and ammunition.

"When you go to such a far place, you can bring as much as you can. These children have grown up on horseback, and even if they don't know how to fight, they can deal with bandits and beasts, so they will not be delayed by letting them do some rough work with the new army. ”

Fu Ji didn't listen to her husband's words, she and Wang Da greeted her by recruiting thousands of more people, and she couldn't load too much military resources just by relying on the military box car, she couldn't stop her husband from going into battle to kill the enemy, but she could think more thoughtfully for her husband.

"Alas, it's not that you don't know that the new army pays attention to the rules, they are not used to it, and when they get to the battlefield, they will add to the chaos."

Hong Tao didn't want the crowd to push over, but the war really didn't depend on the number of people. With a few thousand more people, you can bring more military funds, but there are also more troubles, and it is better not to bring them in comparison.

"Concubines can rule them!" Bargain rich Ji is waiting here, she also wants to go with the army, mainly because she is not at ease. This is going to attack the capital of Western Xia, and the battle to destroy the country is child's play.
