Chapter 171 Kaifu Yi and the Third Division Subduing the Tiger Cavalry Successfully
Chapter 171 Kaifu Yi and the Third Division, the Fuhu Cavalry is completed
Dingzhou.
Master Zhong held a banquet for Wang Lin in ancient times, and Guan Sheng and his party went out to meet the generals to wash away the dust.
Just like a simple knife cutting on a hard rock, it made deep marks and collapsed a lot of rubble. The iron-clad fact that Wang Lin and the Fuhu Army's cavalry traveled thousands of miles across Yanyun and retreated invincibly to defeat the attack of the Northern Liao Wanqi.
, it really aroused deep waves in the hearts of the generals of the Western Army and the Hebei Army's Victory Army.
The banquet held by Zhong Shigu was conducted completely in accordance with the traditional rules of the Western Army.
Of course it was not the kind of luxurious banquet held by Tokyo's powerful people that Wang Linsuo was familiar with. Not to mention anything else, the candles and lamp oil alone could consume dozens of kilograms overnight.
Some banquets even last for more than two days.
Even compared to some of the elegant banquets held by state and county officials from various places in Jiangnan, Huainan, and Jiannan, it was far inferior to those banquets where at least official prostitutes would dance and drink.
However, celebrating Wang Lin's victory with the traditional simple banquet of the Western Army was actually not a sign of condescension, but a sign of respect.
At this time, Yue Fei had led his troops to supervise the transportation of 30,000 war horses back to Qingzhou and was already on the road.
Even if the master and his subordinates are unwilling to do so, there is nothing they can do.
This time Wang Lin arrived in person, and because of the delay of Zhongshi's troops, Bei Liao attacked. If Wang Lin personally made trouble in the capital, Zhongshi estimated that the official in the capital who he was not familiar with would definitely not spare him.
The most important thing is that he just received a letter from his brother Zhong Shidao.
The letter informed that the Zhong brothers' ability to be reused by officials and the imperial court was closely related to Wang Lin's recommendation. This was news passed down from Li Xiang in the capital, and it could not be false.
Therefore, some of the farmers felt a little ashamed and ashamed.
At the same time, two disciples of the Zhong family, Zhong Fu and Zhong Mao, also received the letter.
Although the Zhong family army is powerful and powerful, and has been defending the northwest frontier for decades, fundamentally speaking, it is not until today that the Zhong family led by Zhong Shidao has truly been reused.
The way of cultivating teachers is replaced by Tong Guan.
Zhongshi served as the envoy of the capital and Hebei Province, integrating military and political power into one body. He also shouldered the important task of guarding the capital, and he could be called an official of the country.
Not to mention being grateful, Zhong Shidao was a scheming person. He expected that Wang Lin's future would be limitless, so he told his children not to offend Wang Lin because of some conflicts of temper.
That's why we have today's banquet.
At this moment, the news about Wang Lin's deeds gradually spread among the army.
Brave and invincible, a tiger-subduing general, and a disciple of the emperor, these are actually all false names.
But that day Wang Lin fought with Guan Sheng and won the battle, which is a living fact.
Later, Wang Lin led his army to invade Yanyun, coming and going freely, subduing the enemy's troops without fighting, and causing thousands of cavalry to retreat from Yelu Dashi. These facts are also before our eyes.
Furthermore, Wang Lin killed Cai Jing and Tong killed six thieves. This was also a shocking move that could shock the Song Dynasty.
Other soldiers in the Western Army were not familiar with him, but Tong Guan had been in the Western Army for many years. Who knew that he manipulated power and manipulated military affairs? Who among the Western Army generals was not afraid of him?
Even if they were masters, generals like Liu Yanqing and Wang Shu would have to pay homage to Tong Guan when they saw him, otherwise they would be beaten with military sticks.
Wang Lin sat in the guest of honor seat, silent and silent.
The arrow wound on his back was almost healed due to his system. It was just because the arrow shaft had been left in the flesh that it became slightly inflamed and suppurated. It was nothing serious.
On the road until now, he was thinking silently, in this world, who else besides Song Jiang and Yelu Dashi could be the son of destiny.
But among the seed masters, they raised their glasses and said: "Master Wang is incomparable in his bravery, wisdom and bravery. This time he led three thousand light cavalry into Yanyun's land, which was like entering an uninhabited land. The Liao people were frightened by the news. Yelu Dashi's ten thousand wolf cavalry did not fight."
It’s really amazing to retreat.”
Wang Lin smiled slightly, his eyes fell on Zhong Shizhong, and said calmly: "Xiao Zhong is too generous. If Xianggong had not sent a hundred thousand troops to guard the three towns of Dingzhou, how could I have completed the attack on Wei and rescue Zhao in the land of Yanyun? This time
My Qingzhou war horse was successfully transported back, and I have to thank Mr. Xiao Zhong for his magnanimity."
The seed grower's face turned red, but he was speechless.
Wang Lin added: "The land in Hebei is a flat river, and there is no danger to defend it. If the Liao or Jin people invaded the south in a large scale, these three cities would be difficult to stop. Therefore, Wang suggested that Xianggong Xiaozhong use offense as defense, and gradually move the defense to the south.
The Northern Liao Dynasty moved northward. If the Song Dynasty can control the seven continents of Yanbei in the future, we can rely on Juyong Pass and Zijin Pass to guard and form an outflank with the Hedong Road, and the Song Dynasty will be safe."
Master Zhong patted the case and praised: "What Master Wang said is true, and it coincides with a certain number. But there are so many troops stationed in Bei Liao now. We must not easily provoke a war. We must wait and see the situation in the future before we can make a decision."
Wang Lin smiled and said nothing.
The three cities of Zhongshan, Zhending, and Hejian appear to be heavily defended, but in fact they cannot stop the Jin's cavalry at all.
Wang Lin did not expect Zhongshizhong to be able to block the Jin's attack in Hebei, but just hoped that he could delay it for one or two more years to give himself and the Song Dynasty time to grow and prepare for war.
Of course, from a national policy perspective, it would be best if the Northern Song Dynasty could change its foolish idea of allying with the Jin to destroy the Liao and instead unite with the Liao to resist the Jin.
It is a pity that the alliance with Jin to destroy Liao has been deeply rooted in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the alliance has basically been reached. The general trend is irresistible and no one can stop it.
…
Tokyo.
Yanfu Palace Main Hall.
Zhao Ji had a very headache.
He closed his eyes and heard the croaking sounds of the important officials in the court, making him feel very irritable.
Endless party disputes, exclusion of dissenters, mutual shirking of responsibilities, and the placement of officials of one's own faction... These messy things happened every day in the court, which made him lose every bit of his interest in going to court.
However, today was a major national issue related to the mission to the Jin Kingdom and the survival of the Song Dynasty. He, the emperor, had to make the final decision.
There was a message from the Jin people that the Song Dynasty had sent the Jin ambassador Guanglu, Dr. Zhao Liangsi, because his position was too low to be determined. He asked the Song Dynasty to send another important minister to the Jin Dynasty as an envoy to discuss major matters of alliance with the Jin Dynasty emperor.
So we have been fighting for several days about the candidate for the official ambassador.
Lu Yihao and others recommended Wu Min.
Li Gang and Wu Min recommended Zhao Ding.
We argued and argued for several days without reaching a conclusion.
Zhao Ji was really impatient, so he stood up and angrily said: "You are chattering endlessly, when will there be any results? You have missed the important military affairs of the Song Dynasty! I don't think you need to argue, so Wang Lin will be the ambassador to send money."
Well, since he is in Qingzhou, it is convenient for him to go to Jin from Denglai."
"I have come to pass the imperial edict, and I will temporarily join Wang Lin to open the Yitong and Sansi Departments of the Mansion. In order to maintain integrity, he will send the envoy of Jin to our Song Dynasty. Relevant members of the Ministry of Rites will accompany me to the Kingdom of Jin. They will have full authority to negotiate with the Emperor of Jin on my behalf to establish an alliance.
"
"Retreat!"
Zhao Ji walked away with a puff of his sleeves.
…
Seven days later.
Thirty thousand war horses were transported back to Qingzhou, and Fuhu's army was shaken up and down.
With the Fuhu Army's original war horse reserves, plus the Liao war horses captured in the last Tokyo defense battle and the 30,000 horses this time, the total is more than 40,000. Wang Lin's long-planned Fuhu cavalry is ready to be formed into an army.
Guan Sheng followed Wang Lin and joined the Fuhu Army to serve as commander.
At present, the Fuhu Army has officially reached 100,000 soldiers, which is equivalent to 100,000 Jin people.
The Fuhu Army has a total force of 100,000, with 10 armies under its jurisdiction, each of 10,000, under the overall command of Wang Lin.
The deputy capital controlled Yue Fei.
Each army has one commander and two deputy commanders.
Hua Rong, Yan Qing, Yang Zhi, Qin Ming, Dong Ping and Guan Sheng.
Vice-President Wu Song and three other people.
All other subordinates are military commanders or deputy commanders.
In Wang Lin's view, Wu Song actually had the martial arts ability to command, but Wang Lin felt that Wu Song had no experience in commanding troops, so it would be inappropriate to hand over an entire army to him for the time being.
Then Yue Fei also led an army.
Therefore, although the 10th Army of the Fuhu Army has been completed, there are still three vacancies for commanders and many more vacancies for deputy commanders.
Wang Lin thought over and over again and decided to personally take over the command of the Fuhu Cavalry, with Yue Fei supervising the training.
The original plan was to give it to Yan Qing.
But considering that Yan Qing still needs to control the Tiger Guards, which currently has thousands of people, and as the intelligence chief of the Fuhu Army, he will have a heavier workload than anyone else in the future, so he gave up.
Wang Lin knew very well that this 10,000-strong cavalry force would be his true foundation for the future.
But forming an army and showing combat effectiveness are two different things.
There is no other way or shortcut, we can only train strictly at ordinary times and choose the opportunity to send out actual combat.
Ten thousand Fuhu cavalry are enough to frighten the entire eastern Shandong province.
If there is any trouble, the Crouching Tiger cavalry can arrive at dawn or dusk.
Only then did Wang Lin's authority on the eastern coast become truly established, and many demons and ghosts who were secretly trying to make a move were put on hold.
…
Wang Lin was writing at his desk in the study. With his good memory and his past attention to Chinese and foreign cavalry in the cold weapon era, he copied a rough copy of the cavalry training methods of the ancient Byzantine Empire that he was very interested in. That's what it meant anyway.
Prepare to give it to Yue Fei as a reference for military training.
Yue Fei was obviously more professional than him on how to train cavalry. He was not willing to interfere with Yue Fei's thinking, but only provided suggestions.
Marquis Yu, the tiger god guard under Yan Qing's command, came to report: "I am reporting to you, Lady Murong, to see you."
These days, Murong helped Qingzhou obtain war horses, but never mentioned anything about marriage and business cooperation.
Murong Wan'er rarely came to the house, but Wang Lin knew that Murong would not give up her tree.
"Invite her in."
Murong Wan'er is still wearing a white dress.
With a little makeup on her face and a wooden hairpin on her head, she is simple and unpretentious. From her appearance alone, you can hardly tell that she is actually the talkative and head of the Murong family.
"I've seen the envoy."
"Mrs. Murong, please sit down." Wang Lin was also very polite.
In any case, Murong gave him 30,000 horses for nothing this time. This was a huge investment and it was a great contribution to Qingzhou. Wang Lin could not repay kindness with evil.
"Your Majesty, I have received a letter from my family Feige. The official issued a decree the day before yesterday, adding that I will open the palace with three divisions, uphold the integrity, and be canonized as the envoy of the Song Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty. At present, it is estimated that the imperial edict and the officials of the Ministry of Rites are working day and night.
At the same time, we are going to Qingzhou."
Wang Lin was surprised.
These days, he has been focusing his energy on forming the Fuhu Cavalry and has not paid attention to the news in Tokyo.
Zhao Ji actually wanted him, a person who firmly opposed the alliance with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty, to serve as the ambassador to dispatch the Jin Dynasty?
Cross the sea to Jin and discuss the establishment of an alliance with Emperor Wanyan Aguda of the Jin Kingdom?
