Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Beginning of the Force

Beigumen master Jinglun, wearing a six-in-one hat, wearing green clothes, elegant and polite, if it weren't for Shu Tianhe's personal introduction, Chang Wei would definitely think that he was just an ordinary middle-aged scholar. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Xie Yuangong, the student is polite, the student is a talent in the first year of Taichang's exam, and he has dreamed of winning a move for more than ten years, but he has repeatedly failed. Jinglun bowed respectfully.

This surprised Chang Wei, but he didn't expect that this super-first-class master who ranked thirteenth on the list of heroes in the rivers and lakes turned out to be a talent.

Chang Wei returned the salute and said: "The master of the sect is actually famous, disrespectful and disrespectful!"

Jinglun hurriedly saluted again, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, in front of Xie Yuangong, I dare to think of myself as a student." ”

"This guy turned out to be a rotten Confucian?" This was the first time Chang Wei felt that his identity as Xie Yuan was extremely important.

"Mr. Jing, you don't have to be polite, last time I was in Hemaochang Gambling House thanks to Brother Shu's help, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. Chang Wei turned his head and said, "I don't know what the two of you are doing here?"

Jinglun said: "First, I will make my brother take up a new position, and I will wait to meet the prefect." Second, I heard that Xie Yuangong wanted to practice righteousness and bravery, so I came to see if I could help. ”

Although there are only more than 100 people in Beigumen, there are hundreds of ships under his command, and thousands of men who are mixed with the dock rely on Beigumen to eat.

In fact, there is a reason why there are few people in Beigumen, Jinglun because he is a showman, so the disciples recruited are all educated, there are a total of ten talents in Beigumen, and even one is a lifter, and the other three are martial arts who have no way in the government and resigned after being suppressed and angry, and the rest are children who have read books and done learning.

There are thousands of sects in the rivers and lakes, there are many masters, and there are many sects that can make money.

However, if you want to talk about which sect has the highest level of education and the most readers, there is no doubt that it is Beigumen, which is recognized by the rivers and lakes.

Beigumen is the first gate of Zhenjiang Prefecture, relying on the convenience of the Yangtze River and the canal, with abundant financial resources and a very nourishing life.

often takes office with the new official, and Jinglun naturally wants to come to pay homage to his parents.

Thinking of the high-quality people in Beigumen, Chang Wei immediately had an idea, "Since Mr. Jing is so enthusiastic, I'm not welcome." I do want to practice righteousness and bravery, and there is a great need for some literate and hyphenated people in the army, I wonder if Mr. Jing can cut some disciples?"

Listening to Chang Wei's words, the look on Jinglun's face was excited and uneasy, and he thought about it before saying: "It is the honor of Beigumen to be favored by Duke Xie Yuan, but adults also know that the disciples in my sect are not easy to come by." ”

This is true, there are many martial arts masters in the Daming Jianghu, and there are even more readers, but those who have both read and practiced martial arts are too rare.

Chang Wei nodded and said: "I understand what the master of the sect means, if it's inconvenient, then I'll find another way." ”

Jing Lun hurriedly said: "My lord misunderstood, I should send some disciples from Beigumen to help my lord, but instead of joining the adult's righteousness, I hope my lord understands." ”

"Borrow?" Chang Wei was a little puzzled.

Jinglun explained: "Yes, when the adults are practicing or fighting, they are naturally the subordinates of the adults, and once the adults don't need it, they hope to return it to Beigumen, after all, we don't have many people, and sometimes we can't be busy." ”

"No problem!" In this way, the two sides will not affect each other, Chang Wei naturally agreed, "I don't know how many people the master of the sect can lend me?"

Jing Lun asked, "Thirty young disciples, can you be satisfied?"

Although thirty people are not many, they account for thirty percent of the disciples of Beigumen, and Chang Wei is naturally satisfied.

"I'll pay you one tael of silver per person per day!" "Thirty people are nine hundred taels of silver a month, which is enough for a hundred people to live comfortably for a year, and it is definitely a good deal."

Jinglun immediately refused, "How dare you ask for your lord's money? As long as the lord speaks a few good words for our family in front of Brother Ling's prefect, let our previous business continue as usual, not only thirty disciples are for the adults to send, but also the whole of the gate is ready to be sent at any time." ”

Chang Wei asked two sentences to know that Beigumen used to take the road of Danyang County Order, and the county order was caught by Chang Tong and rushed home, and now Beigumen is a little uneasy, for fear that Chang Tong will cut off their financial route.

With the thirty disciples of Beigumen, Chang Wei asked his cousin Huang Chongyao to find more than 20 young people from the Huang family to come to Zhenjiang to help, the so-called war brothers, these cousins naturally have to make good use of them, in addition, Chang Wei also found fifty family members, all of whom are from the Huang family in Suzhou, and there is no problem in terms of loyalty.

Under the leadership of Zhang Jimeng, Bi Dengfu, and Bi Denghan, these 100 people first spread out the stalls of the gun workshop and purchased the required materials.

After doing this, Chang Wei returned to Nanjing, and he wanted to find some elite soldiers and officers from the Shenji Battalion, especially sharpshooters.

What Chang Wei wants to train is not a brave man in the general sense, but an elite division that transcends the times.

The guards of the Ming Dynasty are the world soldier system, the military households are hereditary from generation to generation, the ancestors are the guards and the descendants are all guards for eternity, and there is no choice between enlisting at the age of fifteen and retiring at the age of sixty, which is also the reason why most of the guards fled and had low combat effectiveness.

However, the elite division of the Shenji Battalion is a recruitment system, and the soldiers are recruited freely, and they can retire as long as they are approved by their superiors.

After the Fengyang Rebellion, Chang Wei's martial arts and wisdom won the respect of all the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, and it was not difficult for him to recruit people, besides, the salary of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion for a month was nine dollars of silver, and Chang Wei gave a full three taels, which was more than three times the original.

Grandpa Xu thought that there were not many people he wanted, so he opened his mouth and agreed, who knows, he was suddenly moved by Chang Wei, including the first sharpshooter Hu Yang, the first gunner Wang Zhuang, and other three hundred elite soldiers, which made Grandpa Xu's flesh hurt for a long time.

hired a fast boat, let the second general Hum Ha lead 300 soldiers to Zhenjiang, Chang Wei asked He Chong about the way to buy horses, the army he wanted to form was modeled after the Shenji battalion, and cavalry was indispensable.

Because he has already cheated Grandpa Xu, he can only find another way to buy a horse.

He Chong thought for a while and said: "Shandong is making trouble with the White Lotus Sect, and now if you want to buy a horse, you can only find the Guanzhong Sword Alliance." ”

The Shandong Horse Gang is a gang specializing in horse business, but now the White Lotus Sect is making trouble and the road is impassable.

Shaanxi (Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty including Gansu) connected the Hetao Grassland and the Hexi Corridor between the two major horse-producing regions, and the Guanzhong Daomeng was the most powerful gang in Shaanxi, and they were sure to get their hands on horses.

Chang Wei shook his head and said, "The five thousand war horses I want, the Sword Alliance may not be able to get so many." ”

"So much?" He Chong was startled, seeing Chang Wei nodding seriously, He Chong smiled and said, "You shouldn't have forgotten that you still have a sister, brother-in-law, right?"

Chang Wei's eyes lit up, "Sister, brother-in-law, do you mean to let Qin Shizi help?"
