Haitang, Jiancheng, two or three hundred elite ......

And, of course, a fleet that can crisscross the seas!

In this way, we will be able to defend Yuntai Mountain on the sea in the event of a catastrophe in the future.

Wu Haogu is a more pragmatic person, and he also knows that he doesn't have much ability. In his previous life, he was not a science and engineering man, nor was he a military cadet, and he couldn't make guns, artillery, and lead soldiers to fight. Even if Song Huizong made him a privy envoy, he would be helpless in the face of a sparse situation.

However, since God let him be born in the Northern Song Dynasty and Yuan Fu years, he was destined to do something.

And to really do things, we must do what we can, and first set a small goal that can be achieved, such as operating Yuntai Mountain as a base for the future anti-gold revolution.

The reason why Yuntai Mountain was chosen was also based on reality...... His current strength can also take care of Yuntai Mountain, which is the prosperous place of the Great Song Dynasty, less than a thousand miles away from Kaifeng Mansion, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and is connected by waterways.

If Wu Haogu is willing, he can come and live here for a few months every year.

Moreover, Yuntai Mountain is a famous "fairy mountain", which is a secluded place for the powerful and rich. It is reasonable for Wu Haogu to build a Zhuangzi here and build a Taoist temple, if he can bewitch Song Huizong, maybe he can get a gift or something here, so that the magistrate will not be able to control it.

As for the two or three hundred elites...... How do I get it?

Spend money to buy Mamluk war slaves?

That doesn't seem like a good idea, does it? Buying three or five is a matter of money, two or three hundred...... It's too much, it's not a problem, and it's too blinking!

In addition, even if these two or three hundred Mamluk war slaves obeyed the command like the "Unsullied One", Wu Haogu estimated that he would not be able to command it.

He was frightened when he saw Liang Shankou last time, how could he command the troops and the Jin people to fight?

Seeing Wu Haogu's brows furrowed deeply, thoughtful, Ma Zhi seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and asked with a smile: "Is Da Lang thinking about the way to win with soldiers?" ”

was told that his mind was broken, and Wu Haogu didn't hide it, so he simply picked it out and said, "Can you ask a question or two?" ”

Ma Zhi smiled and said: "I can't talk about asking for advice, and I don't know a lot about the art of war, but I know a little bit about it."

In a certain opinion, this way of using troops is the first to choose generals! ”

"Pick a general?"

Wu Haogu frowned, and Ma Zhi seemed to have said something nonsense.

A soldier is a bear, who doesn't know the Li'er who will be a nest of bears?

Looking at Wu Haogu's expression, Ma Zhi smiled again: "And the way to choose a general, hehe, lies in the monk." ”

"Choosing generals and monks?" Wu Haogu didn't understand what Ma Zhi was talking about at all.

Ma Zhi glanced at Wu Haogu, who looked ignorant, and said with a smile: "The reason why Fuhu can serve dogs is because of his minions. If the tiger releases its claws and makes the dog use it, the tiger will obey the dog. And the general's soldier is the tiger with his minions. The so-called scholars are strategists, dead soldiers, doormen, and clan hearts.

There are strategists who can plan, there are dead soldiers who can be trapped, there are disciples who can operate, and there are clan hearts who can protect the left and right, so as to form a force. In this way, we can dominate all armies and be invincible. ”

Mi Youren smiled when he heard this: "Isn't the general that Second Brother Ma said the Five Seasons Domain, the Sui and Tang Dynasty Gate Lords, the Eastern Han Dynasty Haoqiang, and the Warring States Prince?" Is this a general, or a tiger? ”

"Choosing a general is to raise a tiger." Ma Zhi said with a smile, "A tiger can hurt a dog, and it can also devour the master." Although loyal dogs can protect their owners, they are difficult to drive away tigers. If you raise a dog to become a sheep, it is a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and it is useless. ”

Not to mention, Ma Zhi's words are quite reasonable!

The strong Han and the Tang Dynasty were all tigers and troubles, the Han declined in the melee of the powerful and the strong, and the Tang was trapped in the feudal town. The Song Dynasty, on the other hand, raised the army as a dog, and basically did not tolerate the existence of the kind of good generals who raised their minions.

Mo said that the Northern Song Dynasty, which is still peaceful now, was in the troubled times of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Zhongxing generals who built their own shogunate, recruited their own soldiers, and made their own equipment were also the targets of Emperor Laozi's strict defense. The last to be killed, the captive to be captive......

As for the new-style army of the modern nation-state, there is no doubt that it is also a dangerous tiger for the feudal dynasty, even more dangerous than all kinds of "tiger generals".

When Wu Haogu thought of this, his good student Mi Youren had already discussed it with Ma Zhi.

As Second Brother Ma said, now the Great Song Dynasty only has the Western Army, which is barely useful. There are no advisers or dead soldiers, but there are still some disciples and clans. As for the Kaifeng generals, they are all fat sheep who don't know soldiers, don't raise soldiers, and don't use them although they have clans. I don't know what the situation is on the Liao side? ”

Ma Zhi smiled: "It's worse than Da Song." ”

"Why don't you do it?" Mi Youren's tone was a little surprised, he was born in the Mi family, and he was not ignorant of military affairs, so he naturally had a fear of Liao.

"The government of the Liao State is similar to the Great Song Dynasty on the surface, but in fact it is similar to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the center is based on the Khitan, which is similar to Guanlong; The local area relies on strong clans, similar to Haoqiang; And it also envelops the grassland departments and mature women to strengthen the country's prestige. If the Khitan is strong-hearted, then the strong and obedient, the tribe is obedient, and the power of the Great Liao State can be prosperous.

And once the heart fails, it is a weak pole and a strong branch, the Chinese and foreign countries are reversed, and the disaster of Anshi rises in an instant, it is a fluke to be left to breathe, and the Liao State will also be trapped in the feudal town, and there will be no prosperity in the past. ”

Mi Youren asked: "If the Liao State is similar to the Tang Dynasty, then what about the generation of the Tang Dynasty now?" ”

"During the Tianbao period."

"Tempo?" Mi Youren was stunned, "Isn't that chaotic at the moment?" ”

Ma Zhi smiled: "The abdomen and heart have collapsed, but the limbs are strong, the limbs are strong, the limbs are weak, how is it not a catastrophe is imminent?" ”

"The Khitan heart has collapsed? Why? ”

Ma Zhi laughed: "It's all because of the great prosperity of Buddhism, the wealth is used to worship the Buddha, and all the strong men have become monks." The Khitan nation, how not to erode? ”

Wu Haogu listened to Ma Zhi's analysis and nodded again and again. This man had the foresight, and what he had predicted came true more than 20 years later. It is a pity that the Liao State did not survive the "Anshi Rebellion", so the north achieved a change of dynasty, rather than a division of feudal towns.

The newly rising Jin State is in a good era of "its prosperity and prosperity", and it is not at all something that the Northern Song Dynasty, which is in its twilight years, can confront at all.

If the Liao State can follow in the footsteps of the Tang Dynasty, suppress the Jurchens, and then embark on the road of separating feudal towns, then the Northern Song Dynasty will be able to continue to live a peaceful and decaying life......

Thinking of this, Wu Haogu glanced at Pan Qiaolian, and then looked at the mountains and seascapes outside the window.

If the world is peaceful, you can live in seclusion with Pan Qiaolian on this fairyland-like island and live in peace for life.

This is the ideal life as an artist traverser!

……

Just when Wu Haogu was yearning for a happy life for the immortal couple, a familiar voice suddenly came in from outside the door.

"The Sprinkle family wants a private room, and the good wine and food are only served...... All meat dishes! Today, the Sprinkle family wants to eat meat and drink wine, don't eat those vegetarian fasts that can make people fade out of their mouths! ”

I met Lu Zhishen!

When Wu Haogu heard this voice, he asked loudly: "Is it Master Zhishen outside?" ”

"It's the Sprinkle family!" Lu Zhishen's voice came again.

Then the door of the private room where Wu Haogu was was pushed open, and the golden-haired lady walked in with a tray and a tower-like monk, Lu Zhishen.

On that tray was a plate of freshly cut large yellow croaker and fish tart, a plate of sesame curd chicken skin, a plate of beans, several stacks of sauce and two jugs of wine.

"Who should I be, it turned out to be Wu Dalang," Lu Zhishen laughed when he saw Wu Haogu, "A few days ago, I talked about you when I was separated from the quit and the government." ”

Wu Haogu got up and arched his hand at the great monk, "Master Zhishen, let's use some together, and then tell me about the quitting master and the monk who is in power." ”

"Okay," Lu Zhishen glanced at the wine and food on the table, "Why is it so light?" More soft mutton fat and good wine is. ”

Wu Haogu said with a smile: "It's all called, good wine and good food are enough." ”
