When the morning light sprinkled on the Yellow Tower in Xuzhou, I don't know who made the majestic shout, which frightened Wu Haogu in his dream.

As soon as he heard this shout, he thought that the heroes of Liangshan were calling again, so he hurriedly got up from the bed, ran to push open the window and look at the courtyard, and then let out a sigh.

In the courtyard, Lin Wancheng, Lin Chong, Lu Qian and Guo Jing were practicing.

Guo Jing was fiddling with his "scary sword", dancing slowly and vividly, which was very good-looking, but it was not very useful in the battle array.

Lin Wancheng was holding a stone lock, the old man was not young, but his strength was still there, and a stone lock seemed to weigh less than a few taels in his hand.

And Lin Wancheng and Lu Qian were making hard bows. The hard bow they use today is actually a bow-shaped fitness equipment, which is used to exercise arm strength (in addition to arm strength, waist strength and leg strength also have to be trained, and the tool for training arm strength is not only a hard bow), but it is not really a bow used in combat.

According to the military knowledge that Lin Wancheng told Wu Haogu on the way, archery is a real kung fu! The greater the arm strength, the more you will have to shoot the bow on the battlefield.

The more times the bow is fired, the more arrows are fired. On a real battlefield, the number of shots is often more important than the accuracy of the arrow. Because on the battlefield, archers are used intensively, and they fight density. With thousands of arrows in unison, it is not difficult to hit the target (which is usually also a formation of enemy troops). It is rare to inflict heavy casualties on the enemy, because unarmored or lightly armored soldiers will not be able to act as the main force in the battle formation.

The truly dangerous enemies on the battlefield are all armored! And to fight this kind of opponent, it is necessary to shoot more arrows.

In addition to archery, the use of spears and machetes is also a hard work. Strong enough to lift a long enough gun, whether it's a slap or an assassination, more strength always prevails.

In addition, the infantry fought in formations on the battlefield, and the bells and whistles were useless. Therefore, great strength and stamina are the keys to victory.

And strength and endurance can't be achieved quickly!

You have to work hard, and it's best to start from a young age and exercise gradually. At the same time, coupled with a reasonable diet, you can train a body of strength, and it is also a strength that can be durable.

In addition to strength and stamina, equipment is also very important. Armor, bows, crossbows, swords, guns, horses, shields, etc., must be carefully crafted and maintained without the slightest sloppiness.

In short, there is no shortcut to training elite soldiers. The only way to do things in a down-to-earth manner is to do it for more than ten years or decades......

As long as you can cultivate 10,000 Lin Chong and Lu Qian before the catastrophe more than 20 years later, and then arm them with the best equipment. Da Song can be saved!

But this matter is simple to say - how much does it cost Lin Wan to become a cultivator Lin Chong? It's a thousand to die, and he doesn't have it if there's more!

According to this standard, cultivating 10,000 Lin Chong and Lu Qian is only 10 million, and after a big mansion like Pan Jiayuan is demolished, you can get it by building more small houses of 100,000 yuan.

As for equipping them, Wu Haogu didn't know how much to spend, but one or two thousand should be enough. As long as Kaifeng Fucheng is expanded again, and some land is encircled for real estate development, tens of millions of dollars are not a drizzle thing?

But can the Great Song Dynasty court train elite soldiers if they have money? With elite soldiers, can the imperial court use it well?

It's desperate to think about!

Wu Haogu was not in the mood to continue to watch Lin Wancheng, Lin Chong and Lu Qian practice martial arts, sighed, changed into clean Confucian clothes, and went out of the room to find Pan Qiaolian.

Ximen Qing's house is a little strange, that is, there are no young female dependents to live in for a long time, and there are only a few elderly female envoys in the back house who are doing housework. This not only greatly damaged the glorious image of "Ximen Qing" in "Water Margin" and "Golden Vase Plum", but also did not quite match his status as a wealthy businessman.

Outside Kaifeng Mansion, the reason for men's late marriage is usually the imperial examination - not all men in the Song Dynasty married early, and many scholars who were particularly confident in their knowledge would first ask for a title on the gold list, and then come to the list to be arrested as a son-in-law.

But Ximen Qing does not take the path of the imperial examination, he himself is also a businessman and a doctor, and his family is a "semi-righteous door" (that is, he has a large number of family properties, and at the same time, each house also has its own industry), and then look at his subordinates who can fight and kill, as if they are a local tyrant. Such a person should be a lot of wives and children, how can he be alone?

Could it be that this Ximen Qing doesn't like women?

"Brother Dawu, are you looking for me?"

As soon as Wu Haogu walked out of the West Cross Courtyard where he lived, he saw Pan Qiaolian standing under a moon gate with a vial, waving to him happily.

"Eighteen Lang," Wu Haogu stepped forward quickly and asked with concern, "How was your rest last night?" ”

Pan Qiaolian smiled and said: "I slept soundly, and today I am full of energy, how about traveling to Xuzhou City with Brother Dawu?" ”

Wu Haogu nodded and said: "Okay, Xuzhou is a famous city, full of places of interest and historic sites, you have to take a good tour."

Why don't you call Guo Sange and Liu Xiaoyi to go together? ”

Pan Qiaolian said angrily: "The third brother and the little brother have their place, can't you take the two of them everywhere, how inconvenient?" ”

Wu Haogu thought about it and felt that Pan Qiaolian was reasonable. was originally a talented and beautiful woman, and the drama of traveling to the ancient city together made Guo Jing and Liu Wuji follow the scenery?

Moreover, this is Pengcheng is a big city, and there are military patrol shops everywhere in the city, so you don't have to worry about safety at all.

"Yes," Wu Haogu smiled, "go and use some breakfast first, and then say hello to Ximen Xiaoyi." ”

"Okay," Pan Qiaolian touched her belly and said with a smile, "I'm already hungry, let's go have breakfast first." ”

The two went to the dining hall of Ximenqing's house together, and saw that Ximenqing and Liu Wuji were already sitting at a boxy table, talking and having breakfast.

The things that the two of them talked about seemed to be related to Wu Haogu, when Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian entered the door, Liu Wuji was shaking his head and talking about how Wu Haogu created "Drunken Arhat Picture", and the story of Liu Youfang and Liu Da Mink's 50,000 yuan.

Liu Wuji said it vigorously, and Ximen Qing also heard it well, but he didn't find that Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian had arrived, and raised his hand to slap his face a few times, and laughed: "I don't want Wu Dalang to be so bold, even Vice Liu knows that such a character dares to be deceived, I, Ximen Qing, am ashamed of myself." ”

Wu Haogu frowned slightly, why doesn't Liu Wuji have a door on his mouth?

"Brother Simon, why are you arranging me like this?" Wu Haogu smiled bitterly and said, "If I had a way, I wouldn't have made such a decision." ”

Ximen Qing looked back and saw that Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian were coming, so he got up and greeted him, "Da Lang, Pan Xiaolang, how can you rest in the cold house?" ”

Pan Qiaolian said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Simon, the slave was stable last night, and it was dawn." ”

It turned out that Pan Qiaolian hadn't slept peacefully all the way from Yucheng, and she was really relieved when she arrived in Pengcheng.

Wu Haogu smiled and quipped: "Ximen Xiaoyi is not a humble house here, if it is in Kaifeng Mansion, this kind of courtyard cannot be bought even if it is 100,000 yuan." ”

Ximen Qing said with a smile: "But my house is in Pengcheng, but two or three thousand yuan can be taken, if Da Lang wants to move to Xuzhou to live, I will find you a good house." ”

When Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian were talking, they had already sat down facing each other on both sides of the square table. An old female envoy from the Ximen family served them fragrant rice porridge and steamed buns. Wu Haogu picked up a bun and took a bite, and just wanted to inquire about the housing prices and land prices in Xuzhou and Haizhou, when he saw an old man dressed as a shopkeeper walking in quickly, and handed it to Ximenqing with a red greeting post in his hand.

"Lang Jun, Yunzhou Chao Yuanwai and Song Yuanwai ask to meet."
