"The humble Zhou Xing has met Mr. Fu Jun!" When Zhou Xing saw the other party, he quickly walked up and clasped his fists in salute.
"Hahahahaha," the Jiangyang prefect named Mao Hong laughed and said, "I have heard about the name of Zhou Hou for a long time, and today it is a great pleasure to see you. Come, I will introduce you to our Jiangyang sages."
"This is Jiangyang County Magistrate Cheng Yang."
"I've met Zhou Hou!"
"This is Su Jun, the patriarch of the Su family, a large family in Jiangyang."
Zhou Xing smiled while getting acquainted with these dozens of people one by one, and couldn't help but wonder. Although he was an otaku, he also knew that if you show courtesy without having anything to do, you are either committing adultery or stealing. After hearing the introduction from the prefect Mao, he turned out to be
Almost all the prominent people in Jiangyang County gathered here, how could this not frighten him.
He does not think that his status is noble.
He is just a small pavilion prince. In terms of dignity, he is still under the county magistrate and magistrate, let alone the dignified county governor.
After drinking for three rounds, he finally understood this doubt in his mind.
It turns out that before this, Jiangyang County, from the prefect to the big families below, were always in fear, fearing that one day refugees would suddenly break into Jiangyang County. Zhou Xing first defeated the powerful refugee thieves in a last-ditch battle under Deyang City, and was then captured.
The governor of Yizhou appointed him as the captain of Jiangyang, which made many people in Jiangyang County immediately raise their foreheads with their hands. Even the gods felt sorry for them. Finally, there was such a heroic figure who could make everyone feel at ease as their backer.
"Gao Junhou is the great hero who killed the national traitor Shen Xiu. It is our Jiangyang's great fortune to be able to serve as an official in Jiangyang today. I, Su, dare to offer a toast to Gao Junhou!"
"Your Majesty has defeated the homeless thieves. It really makes us excited to hear that Jiangyang County is small, but as long as your Majesty needs it, we and all of us will definitely support you with all our strength! Your Majesty, I, Lu, also give you a drink!"
"Marquis Zhou," Mao Hong asked Zhou Xing to sit next to his seat as soon as he arrived. At this time, he said to Zhou Xing with a smile on his face: "Do you think our Jiangyang sages are enthusiastic?"
“Passionate!”
"Hahahahaha," Mao Hong twisted his beard and laughed: "Our Jiangyang and your Bodao Kingdom are less than a hundred miles away. It's less than two hours' journey down the river. It's really
Neighbor across the river. If the Jin Dynasty had not stipulated that officials should not leave the territory under their jurisdiction, I would have wanted to go over and pay a visit to you, the great hero who killed the national traitor Shen Xiu. Now, since Luo Shijun has appointed you as the Captain of Jiangyang and the Marquis of Zhou,
After all, Deyang belongs to Guanghan County and is under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou. There is no better way to return to our Jiangyang side."
As soon as Mao Hong said these words, everyone in the courtyard nodded in agreement, and many people even shouted loudly.
"Oh, so you want me to be stationed in Jiangyang." Zhou Xing's heart brightened at this moment. He turned to look at Gongsun Sheng, who nodded slightly and winked at him.
Zhou Xing deliberately pondered for a moment, then said with a troubled face: "Deyang is the gateway to Pingfan and we, Jiangyang, must be on guard. Of course, since I, Zhou Xing, am the captain of Jiangyang, it is my duty to protect Jiangyang."
It’s just that, tut,”
"If you have any difficulties for the Marquis of Zhou, just ask. Although Jiangyang is small, it is still a county. As long as the Marquis of Zhou needs it, the folks and elders of Jiangyang will definitely solve it for the Marquis of Zhou."
"Report!" In the early morning, when the sky showed a little light, several loud voices came from the newly built military camp located in the northeastern corner of Jiangyang County.
"one two three……"
"Why is there one person missing, where is Duan Yu?" Murong Fu asked loudly with a cold face.
"Company Commander, didn't I tell you last night? Duan Yu was called out by Miss Gongsun last night."
"You haven't returned to the camp?" Murong Fu's heart seemed to be pricked by something at this time, and his face became even more ugly.
"Well, I never returned to camp."
"Fuck!" Murong Fu cursed in a low voice. Early in the morning, he shouted to all the veterans and now the instructors who were training the new recruits. In fact, he just wanted to see if Duan Yu was back. Hearing this made him
After the fact that he was most worried about, he felt angry and hateful in his heart.
"Those new recruits, you should train hard for me. Whoever's team is the worst in the assessment will get the hell out of my company!"
"Hey, company commander, what do you think that art troupe is? How do you say that if you ask us to leave, you will ask us to leave alone." The person who spoke was called Zhou Laosan, who was also a Bodao Hou Guo who joined the volunteer army from the beginning.
old man.
"I don't know what that art troupe is." Murong Fu thought bitterly, but shouted loudly: "What do you care about that? The prince caught it himself. What are you doing with big eyes and small eyes?
I still don’t know what you people are thinking. Isn’t it just that the beautiful girl over there makes you jealous? Go and train for me right away. It’s business to earn some money and go back to your village to find a wife. Those in the art troupe,
You toads, stop dreaming."
"Fuck, that guy Duan Yu is such a big and powerful guy. Why did Miss Gongsun take a fancy to him? He's so damn evil." Murong Fu, who was standing there, whispered depressedly as he watched those people quickly summon the recruits he was responsible for training.
murmured.
Since Zhou Xing returned from Jiangyang, with the full support of those big families, Zhou Xing has been looking for money and people. He suddenly found that there seemed to be something wrong with his path from the beginning. This world is a big one.
The world of the family is not the world of a small family. Although he didn't fully understand what was going on for a while, after receiving a large amount of money and food and quickly replenishing a thousand troops, Zhou Xing only left Qiao Feng's company behind.
After arriving in Deyang, he took the remaining people and set up a new camp in Han'an County, Jiangyang County, less than a hundred miles away from Deyang.
This place is not only very close to Deyang, but also close to Zizhong County of Jianwei and Dianjiang County of Bajun. Now, not to mention Jiangyang County, even Jianwei County and Bajun are also very satisfied. Wang Zhan
He also took the initiative to ask Ru Ban to send hundreds of kilograms of pig iron. Gu Ping, the governor of Bajun, was obviously not to be outdone, and sent his subordinates repeatedly to bring supplies to greet him. For a moment, Zhou Xing was simply flattered.
After receiving additional personnel, he does not plan to form another battalion for the time being, but to form a few more companies. After all, he is also an official of the imperial court now, and he must consider many things. Besides, except for Gongsun Shu, he temporarily
He didn't want to promote another one to become the new battalion commander. This was unfair to Gongsun Shu. Moreover, he still wanted to stick to the practice of officers being officers and non-commissioned officers being non-commissioned officers.
At the same time, after receiving so much substantial support, his mood became clear again.
Who says his efforts are in vain?
Who says that no one cares when he goes up a pole to help others?
The eyes of this crowd are sharp!
Under this favorable situation, Zhou Xing's thoughts began to come alive again. He decided to strike while the iron was hot and once again resorted to the big killer weapon of publicity.
And after the last battle in Deyang, not to mention Gongsun Shu, who had a long military tradition since childhood, even a layman like Zhou Xing saw many problems with the spear phalanx. The reason why he himself
At that time, I didn't stand on the front line to kill the enemy. I just wanted to see what problems he would face when faced with the reality of what he created.
It has insufficient mobility and its long-distance attack effect is weak.
Especially long-distance strikes.
It was probably the first time that the other party encountered such a well-organized phalanx, and they couldn't think of a way to deal with it. However, Zhou Xing and Gongsun Shu discussed it afterwards and came up with several ways to break this dense phalanx.
The most effective idea is to fight on the move, and not to get close to this kind of phalanx. Just use hard bows, or gather some powerful monks to attack with throwing weapons, and keep a good distance. With Zhou Xing's current personnel configuration, I am afraid that he will not be able to persist.
It won't be long before this phalanx collapses.
If he can think of it, then the other party must be able to think of it. When it comes to such life-and-death matters, no one is a fool.
When Zhou Xing was discussing with Gongsun Shu, he suddenly remembered what everyone liked to talk about in Shangluo: Ma Long, the captain of the Polu School, was recruiting monks in Shangluo. Ma Long had set a standard from the beginning.
That is to give priority to recruiting the five-stone hard bow that can draw the most powerful military weapon in the Jin Dynasty. This matter was just a story in Zhou Xing's mind before, but now that he thought about it, he suddenly had a clear understanding.
Combined with all the known history of his two lives, one thing suddenly became clear in his mind.
Long-range strike is the king of the battlefield.
Relying on these more than 5,000 monks who could draw five-stone hard bows, Ma Long swept through the two states of Yongliang and defeated hundreds of thousands of rebel Di barbarians in Liangzhou. Zhou Xing knew in his heart that his phalanx would not be able to defeat Ma Long.
Long's style of play can only be passively beaten. If there are not ten thousand people rushing into the formation, they may not even be able to get close to the opponent.
He could even say that without thousands or even tens of thousands of cavalry rushing into battle, the opponent's style of attack would be almost harmless.
With the large number of horses owned by Liangzhou Diman, they fought with Ma Long for half a year, and finally caused Ma Long to lose more than a thousand monks. This shows the success of Ma Long's tactics.
But the making of the five-stone hard bow was only made by the imperial court. When Zhou Xing thought about this, he didn't know whether he should regret it or be grateful. Although he also knew the structural diagram of a so-called divine arm bow, what materials should be used to make it?
He shot the bow and arrow so far, but he had no clue in his mind.
Moreover, there is the most crucial point: people!
There are so many monks in Shangluo, and it was Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty Huangfu Yan who personally ordered Ma Long to recruit monks in Shangluo, which made countless monks flock to him.
Learn martial arts well and sell them to the emperor's family.
This has been the case since ancient times.
Whenever he thought of this, Zhou Xing would feel helpless in his heart. Although Jiangyang County immediately replenished the balance of his soldiers this time, as he expected, there was still no monk.
No monk would be willing to condescend to be a soldier under a little captain like him.
Among the official positions in the Jin Dynasty, the captaincy was almost the smallest official position. As for the song length and so on below, it was not considered the imperial establishment at all.
Without the imperial establishment, even ordinary people would not want to be soldiers, let alone monks.
And relying on himself to select people with spiritual veins among the common people for training, firstly, he does not have so many spiritual valleys, and secondly, it takes too long to practice. Even someone like Qiao Feng, who has extraordinary understanding,
With him giving guidance again, I had just entered the door.
Regarding the matter of bows and arrows, Mao Hong, the governor of Jiangyang County, had given him a pat on the back, but regarding the monks, Zhou Xing had to find a way to solve it himself.
Fooling.
All Zhou Xing could think of was this move.
They rely on publicity and literary and artistic works to trick young and energetic monks into joining.
"The slave family is originally from Mianzhu. They sew mandarin ducks with their hands to miss their lover. They sleep in the morning under the rattan bed and paper tent, and the agarwood intermittents intermittent with the coldness of the jade furnace. The best time has been determined and the day is still long. When will the mandarin ducks sleep on their necks with their breaths crossed?"
In a spacious barracks, a beautiful woman with a slender figure and a long skirt was doing embroidery while softly singing a thought-provoking song. This woman was none other than Xin Wan.
After Zhou Xing rescued Deyang that day, because of her father and brother, she immediately followed Gongsun Yanlingpu and others and took several servants who served her to help take care of the wounded, and worked hard to make up for her father and brother's failure to do so.
The mistake of exporting. She was originally pampered since she was a child. After experiencing a series of things like running away from home, she was no longer the silly sweet girl. After being busy with Gongsun Yan for several days, she gradually fell in love with this fulfilling life.
It felt like I was imitating Gongsun Yan, disguised myself as a man, and hung out with her, busying around in the military camp.
However, compared to the cheerful Gongsun Yan, her personality is still much shy and weak. She takes Gongsun Yan as the main priority in everything, as if she has become Gongsun Yan's follower, but she doesn't care at all. This makes her even more strange.
What's strange is that her father and brother seemed to have not seen this and were indifferent to her behavior, which made her feel even more at ease.
Since that day, her father Xinran has never mentioned anything about moving to Jingzhou. This kind of thing was not their family's business in the first place. It was not just the entire Xin family, but also many people from the same hometown as her family.
Even now, many families in Deyang County have a total of more than 2,000 people. According to her brother, only so many people gather together to move far away, and no one dares to take any chances with them along the way.
After arriving in Jingzhou, it was more than enough for everyone to form a camp to protect themselves.
After Zhou Xing arrived in Deyang, she was still worried at first. She was afraid that Zhou Xing and others would know what her father was doing secretly, and she was also afraid that her father would continue to do those things secretly. But after she paid close attention for a few days,
, she gradually felt relieved. She even once heard her father scolding his brother Xin Hui, saying that with the excellent people of Bo Dao and the army here, Deyang was as stable as Mount Tai.
After Gongsun Yan got the new task assigned to her by the cultural troupe Zhou Xing assigned her, she approached Xin Wan. The two worked hard for a few days, and also invited some of the little sisters Xin Wan was usually close to and some maids from various families who were waiting for them.
A lot of people gathered together. After several attempts, everyone agreed that Xin Wan had the best voice, and she should be the heroine of this drama.
Originally, with her shy and soft personality, she would not be able to get on such a stage. But this matter was originally organized by her and Gongsun Yan, and Gongsun Yan had more things to be busy with, so she couldn't shirk it, so she gritted her teeth.
He pushed hard and came up.
She heard that these lyrics were written by Zhou Xing and Gongsun Yan after consultation. When she first read it, her little sisters burst into laughter, but she blushed with embarrassment.
