My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 171 Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Subduing Tiger and Iron Cavalry

Dingzhou.

Zhong Shigu hosted a banquet for Wang Lin, Guan Sheng and his expeditionary army generals to wash away the dust.

It is like cutting a hard rock with a simple knife, drawing deep deep marks, and falling a lot of rubble. It is an iron fact that Wang Lin and the Fuhu Army's cavalry were invincible and retreated from the attack of the Northern Liao Wanqi. , Only then did it really arouse deep waves in the hearts of the generals of the Western Army and the Hebei Army's Changsheng Army.

The banquet held by Zhong Shigu was carried out in full accordance with the traditional rules of the Western Army.

Of course, it wasn't the kind of luxurious banquet hosted by the rich and powerful in Tokyo that Wang Linsuo was familiar with. Among other things, candles and lamp oil alone cost dozens of catties overnight.

Some banquets even last for more than two days.

Even compared to some banquets held by governors of Jiangnan, Huainan and Jiannan, it is too far away. At least that kind of banquet will have official prostitutes dancing and persuading them to drink.

However, celebrating Wang Lin with the traditional simple banquet of the Western Army is not a kind of simplicity, but a kind of respect.

At this time, Yue Fei had led his troops to supervise the transport of [-] war horses back to Qingzhou, and was already on the way.

Even if Zhong Shizhong and his subordinates are unwilling, there is nothing they can do.

This time, Wang Lin came in person, and because of the delay of the Zhongshi Central Division, Beiliao attacked. If Wang Lin went to the capital himself, the Zhongshi estimated that the official in the capital that he was not familiar with would not be able to forgive him.

Most importantly, he just received a letter from his elder brother Zhong Shidao.

The letter tells that the brothers of the Zhong family can be reused by the officials and the court, which is inseparable from Wang Lin's recommendation. This is the news passed down from the Li family in Beijing, and it cannot be false.

Therefore, some of the teachers were ashamed and ashamed.

At the same time, Zhongfu and Zhongmao, two disciples of the Zhong family, also received the letter.

Although the Zhong family's army is powerful and mighty, and has been defending the northwest frontier for decades, fundamentally speaking, until today, the Zhong family, headed by Zhong Shidao, has really been reused.

Kind of teacher way takes Tongguan and replaces it.

Zhong Shizhong served as the envoy of the Hebei system in Gyeonggi and Hebei, integrating military and political power, and also shouldering the important task of defending the capital, he can be called the official of the country.

Not to mention gratitude, Zhong Shidao is a man of wit and scheming, he predicted that Wang Lin's future would be limitless in the future, so he asked his own children not to offend Wang Lin just because of a little emotional dispute.

So there is today's banquet.

But at this moment, some stories about Wang Lin's deeds gradually spread among the army.

Brave and invincible, subduing tiger general, disciple of the Son of Heaven, these are actually false names.

But it was a living fact that Wang Lin fought Guan Sheng that day and won the battle.

Then Wang Lin led the army to invade Yanyun, came and went freely, defeated the enemy without fighting, and caused Yelu Dashi Wanqi to retreat. These facts are also in front of our eyes.

Furthermore, Wang Lin killed the six thieves Cai Jing and Tong Guan, which was also a shocking move enough to shake the Song Dynasty.

Others are not familiar with the soldiers of the Western Army, but Tong Guan has been in the Western Army for many years, who knows that he is a manipulator, manipulating the military and government, who is not afraid of him among the generals of the Western Army?

Even generals such as Zhong Shidao, Liu Yanqing, and Wang Bin had to pay respects to Tong Guan when they saw Tong Guan, otherwise they would be beaten with military sticks.

Wang Lin sat on the guest-of-honor seat, groaning silently.

The arrow wound on his back was almost healed because of the system, but because the arrow shaft remained in the flesh, it was slightly inflamed and festered, and it was not a serious problem.

He has been on the road until now, thinking silently, in the current world, besides Song Jiang and Yelu Dashi, there should be other people who can become the son of luck.

But Zhong Zhong raised his glass and invited him to drink: "Master Wang is brave and invincible. He is both wise and brave. This time, he led three thousand light cavalry into the land of Yanyun, as if entering the land of no one. It made the Liao people frightened. Retreat, it is really admirable."

Wang Lin smiled slightly, his eyes fell on Zhong Zhong, and he said lightly: "Mr. Xiaozhong has won the prize. If not for Mr. Xianggong's [-] troops guarding the three towns of Dingzhou, how could I have completed the raid to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao in the land of Yanyun? This time My Qingzhou war horse was able to be transported back smoothly, I still have to thank Mr. Xiaozhong for his generosity."

Zhong Shizhong's face turned red, but he was speechless.

Wang Lin said again: "In the land of Hebei, there is no danger to defend. If the Liao people or the Jin people invade the south in a large scale, I am afraid that these three cities will be difficult to stop. Therefore, Wang suggested that Mr. Xiaozhong should use offense as defense, and gradually turn the defense to The territory of Beiliao moved to the north. If the Song Dynasty can control the Yanbei Seven Continents in the future, we can rely on Juyong Pass and Zijing Pass to defend, and form a double-team with all roads in the east of the river, and the Great Song Dynasty will be safe."

Mr. Zhong clapped the table and praised: "What Master Wang said is very true, and it coincides with someone. But now there are so many troops in the Northern Liao Dynasty, we must not easily provoke a war, and we have to wait and see the future situation before making a decision."

Wang Lin smiled without saying a word.

The three cities of Zhongshan, Zhending, and Hejian seem to be heavily defended, but in fact they can't stop the Jinren's cavalry at all.

Wang Lin didn't expect that Zhongzhong could block the attack of the Jin people in Hebei, but just hoped that he could delay for a year or two, giving himself and Da Song a time to grow and prepare for the battle.

Of course, speaking from a national policy point of view, it would be best if the Northern Song court could change its stupid idea of ​​uniting Jin to destroy Liao and change it to uniting Liao to resist Jin.

It's a pity that the alliance between the Jin Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty has been deeply rooted in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the covenant has been basically reached. The trend of the times cannot be stopped by anyone.

……

Tokyo.

The main hall of Yanfu Palace.

Zhao Ji had a very headache.

He closed his eyes and heard the yelling of these important officials in the court, and he was very upset.

Endless factional disputes, exclusion of dissidents, shirk responsibility, and placement of officials from one's own faction... These messy things in the court every day made him lose all interest in going to court.

However, today is a matter of great importance to the country of Jin, and the survival of the Song Dynasty, so he, the emperor, had to come forward to make the final decision.

There was a message from the Jin people, saying that the Song Dynasty sent Jin's ambassador to the Jin Dynasty, Dr. Zhao Liang's successor, who was humble and insignificant, and asked the Song Dynasty to send another important minister to Jin as an envoy to discuss the important matter of an alliance with the Jin Emperor.

So there has been a lot of competition for several days about the candidate for the genuine embassy.

Lu Yihao and others recommended Wu Min.

Li Gang and Wu Min recommended Zhao Ding again.

After arguing and arguing, there was no conclusion for several days.

Zhao Ji was really impatient, so he stood up and scolded angrily: "You are chattering, when will there be any results? I have missed the military and state affairs of the Great Song Dynasty! I don't think you need to fight, and Wang Lin will be the ambassador to send gold. Well, since he is in Qingzhou, it is also convenient for him to go to gold from Denglai."

"Come here, send an edict, temporarily add Wang Lin to open the government and the three divisions, hold the festival, and send Jinzheng envoys for our Great Song Dynasty, and the relevant members of the Ministry of Rites will go to Jin Kingdom with full authority to negotiate and establish an alliance with the emperor of Jin Kingdom. "

"Retreat!"

Zhao Ji walked away.

……

Seven days later.

Thirty thousand war horses were transported back to Qingzhou, and the subduing tiger army shook up and down.

With the original horse reserves of the Fuhu Army, plus the Liao horses captured in the last Tokyo defense battle and the 4 horses this time, there are a total of more than [-] horses. Wang Lin's long-planned Fuhu Iron Cavalry can already be formed into an army.

Guan Sheng followed Wang Lin to serve in the Fuhu Army and served as the commander.

At present, the Fuhu Army has officially reached [-], which is equivalent to [-] Jinren households.

The Fuhu Army has a total army of 10, governing 1 armies, each with [-] troops, and Wang Lin is in charge.

The deputy capital controls Yue Fei.

Each army has one commander and two deputy commanders.

Hua Rong, Yan Qing, Yang Zhi, Qin Ming, Dong Ping, and Guan Sheng are six.

Deputy commander Wu Song and three others.

The rest of the subordinates are military commanders or deputy commanders.

From Wang Lin's point of view, Wu Song actually has the martial arts of commanding, but Wang Lin feels that Wu Song has no experience in commanding troops, so it is not appropriate to entrust the entire army to him for the time being.

Then Yue Fei also led an army.

Therefore, although the 10th Army of the Fuhu Army was completed, there were still three vacancies for the commander, and even more vacancies for the deputy commander.

Wang Lin thought about it again and again, but he still personally served as the commander of Fuhu Iron Cavalry, and Yue Fei usually supervised the training.

The original plan was to hand it over to Yan Qing.

But considering that Yan Qing still needs to control the Tiger God Guard, which currently has thousands of people, as the intelligence leader of the Subduing Tiger Army, his future workload will be greater than anyone else, so he gave up.

Wang Lin knew very well that this [-]-strong cavalry would be his real foundation for the future.

But becoming an army and showing combat effectiveness are still two different things.

There is no other way or shortcut, but to train strictly at ordinary times and dispatch actual combat at the right time.

Ten thousand subdued tiger cavalry are enough to deter the entire eastern border of Shandong.

If there is any trouble, Fuhu Iron Cavalry can arrive in the morning and evening.

Only then did Wang Lin's authority in the east coast be truly established, and many ghosts and monsters from all walks of life who were secretly ready to move stopped because of this.

……

Wang Lin was writing at his desk in his study. Relying on his good memory and past attention to Chinese and foreign cavalry in the cold weapon era, he copied a general idea of ​​the cavalry training methods of the ancient Byzantine Empire that he was very interested in. Anyway, that's what it meant.

It is going to be handed over to Yue Fei as a reference for military training.

In terms of how to train cavalry, Yue Fei is obviously more professional than him, and he is not willing to interfere with Yue Fei's thinking, just to provide suggestions.

Marquis Yuhou, the tiger god under Yanqing's command, came to report: "I report to you, Mrs. Murong, please see me."

These days, the Murong family assisted Qingzhou in acquiring war horses, but never mentioned anything about marriage and business cooperation.

Murong Wan'er rarely came to the mansion, but Wang Lin knew that the Murong family would not give up their own tree.

"Please come in."

Murong Wan'er was still wearing a white dress.

With a little rouge and powder on her face, and a wooden hairpin on her head, she is unpretentious. From the appearance alone, you can hardly tell that she is actually the leader and wife of the Murong family.

"Meet the envoy."

"Miss Murong, please sit down." Wang Lin was also very polite.

In any case, the Murong family gave him [-] war horses for nothing this time, which is a huge investment, and he has made great contributions to Qingzhou. Wang Lin can't repay kindness with complaints.

"My lord, I got a letter from the family Feige. The official decreed the day before yesterday that the envoy would open the third division of Yitong, hold festivals, and be canonized as the envoy of the Song Dynasty to send gold. It is estimated that the imperial edict and the officials of the Ministry of Rites are working day and night. I will also go to Qingzhou."

Wang Lin was surprised.

These days, he has been devoting his energy to forming the Subduing Tiger Cavalry, and has not paid attention to the news from Tokyo.

Zhao Ji actually wants to let himself, who is firmly opposed to uniting the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty, act as the ambassador to send the Jin Dynasty?
Crossing the sea to Jin, and discussing the signing of the covenant with the emperor of Jin, Wanyan Aguda?
Oh ridiculous emperor.

The corner of Wang Lin's mouth twitched.
