The dozen or so officers who had finally come to their senses suddenly panicked when they realized that their lives were at risk. Some shouted for mercy, while some were unruly and broke away from the escort of the execution soldiers. They also grabbed a horse from the side and died.
Escape.
Just when Jiao Zhong was about to order people to chase him, Wang Lin took off his divine arm bow on his horse. Without any nonsense, he directly set up the bow and drew an arrow. With a few arrows, he shot down the officers who had fled in a hurry.
17 middle and lower-level officers were beheaded by Wang Lin and sacrificed to the military flag. Of course, the subsequent gap was filled by close associates such as Yue Fei.
Even without the imperial gold medal given by the emperor, Wang Lin was within his authority to improve military discipline and kill several low-level officers.
No matter officers like Jiao Pingshan, Jiao Zhong, or ordinary soldiers, they did not expect that the newly arrived commander-in-chief would be so cruel and cold-blooded. Everyone was frightened. They didn't know how Wang Lin was going to clean up this army that had completely lost its discipline.
of military horses.
Even some resentful people among them would not dare to stir up trouble under such circumstances.
In fact, Wang Lin was not afraid of causing trouble. Today he made up his mind to kill one of them, or both of them!
In fact, even Yue Fei, Yang Zhi, Yan Qing and others on the side did not expect that Wang Lin would take action so decisively and mercilessly like a storm.
When he takes office, he enforces military law, and Wang Lin's ruthless methods can be seen from this!
Establishing prestige is just the beginning. Wang Lin knows very well that in addition to using military law to reshape the army from the ground up, he will also need to firmly control the army through people like Yue Fei, and then rely on rigorous training.
Improve combat effectiveness.
The military order Wang Lin issued to Yue Fei was to achieve initial results within one month, and to form an army within half a year, so that it could be drawn out and put into battle formation.
This is actually a very difficult task.
After all, the foundation of this army's horse is too poor.
But Yue Fei was born to be a genius at commanding and training troops. When he joined the Fuhu Army, he already had a rank of ninth rank, which was considered a very high starting point.
He is full of endless enthusiasm and hope for the future.
Yan Qing and Yang Zhi led a battalion to recruit new soldiers in Yizhou and surrounding areas.
After arranging the military camp, Wang Lin of course had to go to the county seat and take over the administrative power of Yishui County.
However, in such a small and poor county, public affairs are not very busy because the local people are too poor and there are not many merchants, so there is not much room for officials to practice favoritism and malpractice.
After Wang Lin became more or less familiar with the situation in the county, he lost interest, handed over the official affairs of the county to Xue Ziwan, the county magistrate, and returned to the military camp.
Time flies by.
The beginning of October soon arrived.
In late autumn, the temperature in the mountainous areas of Yizhou, especially along the Yishui River, is extremely low. Soldiers have to wear thick armor sooner or later to keep out the cold.
Yue Fei's talent in commanding troops has been fully demonstrated in the past two months.
In fact, during this period of time, Yue Fei often took over the role of Jiao Pingshan, the military capital of Yuhou, coordinating various battalions, purging and training the army.
Although Jiao Pingshan felt unhappy and depressed, he did not dare to show it. He did not expect that as soon as Wang Lin arrived, he took advantage of the situation and arranged for his confidants to come in.
People like Yang Zhi are all heroes with strong martial arts skills, and Yue Fei is even more proficient in the art of war. Within a few days, the entire army was taken over, and he was powerless even if he wanted to rebound.
Wang Lin has not touched Jiao Pingshan for the time being, because it takes time for Yue Fei to grow up. Of course, the premise is that Jiao Pingshan is willing to be a nominal Du Yuhou, otherwise Wang Lin will not be merciful.
As a result, although the 2,500 Fuhu Army could not be said to have been completely transformed, at least their military appearance had been greatly improved, and they now looked like a forbidden army of the imperial court.
Of course, in Wang Lin's view, this army is still a paper tiger for the time being, and its combat effectiveness is still very weak.
Yang Zhi and Yan Qing have recruited thousands of new troops and are conducting training across the Yi River.
It will take at least half a year for these thousands of new recruits to truly form an army and demonstrate their combat effectiveness.
In the past two days, Wang Lin was also thinking about whether he could set off to Jeju, Qingzhou and Dengzhou to select thousands of local army elites to join the Fuhu Army.
It may be somewhat difficult to fill the quota for the time being. After all, the court's logistical equipment is far from keeping up. Wang Lin's plan is to expand the Fuhu Army to 10,000 people before next summer!
At this moment, Pan Jinlian suddenly received news from Yizhou: when the Wang family caravan passed by Zhujiazhuang on Dulonggang in Yuncheng County, it was besieged and detained by people from Zhujiazhuang. Wu Song had a bloody battle with Luan Tingyu, a teacher at Zhujiazhuang.
He was defeated in the battle, was injured, and fled to Yizhou alone.
Meng Yulou, who was accompanying the team to visit relatives in Yizhou, was kidnapped by people from Zhujiazhuang. He was later rescued by a masked woman who suddenly appeared and disappeared.
…
"Officer, that iron rod, Luan Tingyu, has great martial arts skills and a bravery that no man can match. I am no match for him. If something happens to Lady Meng, I really deserve to die!"
Wu Song's left shoulder and right leg were injured by Luan Tingyu. He forced himself to kneel on one knee in front of Wang Lin, blushing and ashamed.
He was entrusted by Wang Lin to protect Meng Yulou, but in the end, Meng Yulou was kidnapped and his whereabouts were unknown. He almost died of shame and guilt.
But Luan Tingyu's martial arts skills were too high, and he only fought with him for a dozen rounds despite his desperate efforts. Then the people from Zhujiazhuang took advantage of him being entangled and took Meng Yulou captive.
Wang Lin leaned over and helped Wu Song up: "Brother Wu, it's not your fault. I've also heard about Luan Tingyu. His martial arts skills are too high. It's not surprising that you are not his opponent. It's just that we have no grievances with that Zhujiazhuang
Wu Qiu, why did he suddenly attack and rob my caravan? I feel a little strange."
"Official, at first I thought it was Liangshan thieves in disguise, but later I found out that it was not the case. I have also heard about several leaders on Liangshan Mountain. Except for Lin Chong, the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Army in Tokyo, the others are not me either.
opponent."
"Later Luan Tingyu showed up, and I realized that he was from Zhujiazhuang... I thought it was probably Zhu Biao from Zhujiazhuang, who coveted the beauty of Lady Meng, so he took the risk and attacked us."
Wang Lin's heart was filled with rage. He clenched his fists and punched the case in front of him to pieces. He said word by word: "Zhujiazhuang! Come, pass on my military order, order Yue Fei, Yang Zhi, Yan Qing."
The others will immediately order troops and follow me westward to Dulonggang to practice military horses!"
Of course, the Fuhu Army cannot leave the defense area at will and march across the border without orders from the imperial court.
But at this moment, Wang Lin couldn't care much. Anyway, the emperor was far away, and he had the authority given by the emperor to kill first and report later. In the name of military training, he rushed to Dulonggang and rescued Meng Yulou first.
Congratulations to Jia Zhuang!
Wang Lin's heart is as cold as ice. Since you have taken the initiative to provoke me, there is only one way to do it. If you don't kill Qin Man's family, I will not give up!
…
Late at night, Dulonggang. Hujiazhuang.
A masked woman in black was carrying another woman whose face could not be seen clearly, and jumped across the house and entered the village at night. Although the village was heavily guarded, the woman in black was familiar with the road and returned to her house without disturbing anyone in the village.
.
The woman in black ducked into her boudoir, then put down Meng Yulou, whom she had rescued, on her back, and took off her veil, revealing a beautiful face that could be broken by a blow, with bright eyes and white teeth, but also a heroic figure.
Meng Yulou was slightly frightened and uneasy.
The woman cupped her fists and saluted: "Mrs. Meng, I am Hu Sanniang from Hujiazhuang. I passed by the post today and suddenly saw Zhu Biao plotting something evil, so I rescued you. You can stay here for a few days with peace of mind, slave.
Then send someone to Yizhou and inform Wang Jun to take you back!"
Meng Yulou quickly bowed and said, "Thank you so much, Miss Hu, for saving your life. I will thank you dearly in the future!"
"I just took action out of anger. I don't want to express my gratitude."
Hu Sanniang shook her head, her charming face full of anger: "This Zhu Biao is really shameless and hateful. He dared to openly rob the caravan and even attempted to kidnap the family members of the imperial officials. He is bringing trouble to Zhujiazhuang for nothing!
"
Hu Sanniang was filled with righteous indignation and could not control herself.
Meng Yulou didn't know that the three major forces in Dulonggang, Zhujiazhuang, Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang, were actually a trinity. They formed an alliance to advance and retreat together, and controlled the trade routes. They were only separated from the mountain king who occupied the mountain as the king.
Layers of window paper.
To put it in modern terms, they are all underworld gangs.
Moreover, Hu Sanniang was engaged to Zhu Biao.
Although Hu Sanniang had always disliked Zhu Biao, the two families were well connected and she was still unable to resist the engagement they had made since childhood.
Today is a coincidence. Hu Sanniang went out of the village to go hunting in the mountains. She accidentally encountered people from Zhujiazhuang besieging a caravan led by Zhu Biao. Originally, if it was just like this, Hu Sanniang would not interfere with the Zhu family's business, but
When she saw that Zhu Biao was going to kidnap the female relatives in the caravan, she couldn't help but take action to kidnap Meng Yulou.
Later, I heard that Meng Yulou was the concubine of the recently famous Fuhu God General Wang Lin, so I secretly thought it was a fluke.
Wang Lin was an official of the imperial court and controlled the army and horses of Yizhou. Zhu Biao hijacked the Wang family's caravan and tried to get his hands on Wang Lin's woman. Isn't this asking for death?
If Wang Lin raised his troops to attack, Hujiazhuang would inevitably be implicated, so he took Meng Yulou back to the village to prepare for the future protection of Hujiazhuang.
Yizhou Yamen.
Chen Ping, the governor of the state, was shocked when he heard that Wang Lin suddenly mobilized his troops and left without knowing where he was going. According to regulations, Wang Lin should at least notify the state of his troop movements, even if it was symbolic.
But Wang Lin did not.
Chen Ping was a little annoyed, so Mrs. Zhang advised him: "Master, he can do whatever he likes. Anyway, if trouble comes, I will tell Wang Lin to act without permission."
Chen Ping sighed: "I have been in Yizhou for two years. I thought I would live a stable life for a few years and see if I could move up the ladder. But I met this person... That's all, let him be!"
"That's it, sir, I went to the Wang family today. Wang Lin's family is worth hundreds of millions, and he has a lot of lovely wives and beautiful family members at home. He shouldn't stay in a place like Yizhou for too long. Maybe one day he will
If we get promoted and leave, then Yizhou will still be our territory."
While the couple was talking, Zhang Sheng, who was hiding in the shadows outside the door, rolled his eyes and quietly retreated.
