Chapter 87 Let you see what true value for money means
Yang Gui and Murong Fu returned to Zhujiazhuang, connected several forces, and began to operate like a precision machine.
Under the green passage of Yelu Nerugu, the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun opened up an unobstructed road, and continuously sent a large number of ordnance, salt and iron to the Liao Kingdom, and returned with a large number of horses.
The generals who were sent off were so happy that they had snot bubbles coming out of their noses when they saw the large number of horses. If nothing else, just having so many horses was enough for them to become a powerful force.
All the armed forces of the Murong family were integrated, and Murong Bo still did a lot of work in these years, with more than three thousand people.
It was reorganized and renamed "Yanwei" and divided into eight battalions, with each battalion having 400 men. Each battalion was armed to the teeth, and the number of horses alone was three for each person.
The Chai family opened channels for overseas trade, and Chai He became more satisfied with Yang Gui. He gave people money when he wanted them, and gave money when he wanted money.
So he took advantage of the Chai family's connections to find a fierce man to be Yan Wei's instructor.
"Teacher Zhou, this is the official of Yan."
After Yang Gui and Murong Fu saw Chai He again at Chaijiazhuang, standing next to him was a middle-aged man with a cold face.
"you?"
Teacher Zhou looked at Murong Fu, whose pseudonym was Yan Dafu, and looked him up and down, and sneered: "Who are you from Yan Dafu? I recognize you. Isn't this Gusu Murong Fu? Why, Nan Murong has come to the north?"
Murong Fu laughed loudly and bowed his hands in salute: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't know that the master invited by Mr. Chai was actually the Great Hero of Guanzhong, the Iron-Armed Zhou Dong. If I had known this, I would have been honest with him."
That's right, the instructor hired by the Chai family to train the army was none other than Zhou Tong, the teacher of Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, and Yue Fei in the future.
In his early years, he joined the army and practiced martial arts well. Later, he was squeezed out and framed by corrupt officials and ran away in anger. He was very famous among the Guanzhong generation as a chivalrous man.
He was depressed and frustrated. He had many friends and traveled all over the world. He taught many disciples and taught two spear and stick instructors for the 800,000-strong Forbidden Army. He also had countless guards leaders from wealthy households.
Because of his peach and plum blossoms all over the world, he was congratulated as the Hero of Guanzhong and the Hero of Shaanxi. When he was traveling in the south of the Yangtze River, he had seen Murong Fu from a distance.
Chai He smoothed things over with a smile: "It turns out that you two have known each other for a long time, Mr. Murong, and Mr. Zhou's martial arts training is world-famous. If you want to train the guards, his help is indispensable."
"What are you going to do to train the guards? How many men and horses, and what weapons?" Zhou Tong was quite disdainful of Murong Fuzang's behavior of showing his head and tail, and his tone was very harsh.
Murong Fu didn't take it seriously, and laughed and said: "The good teacher Zhou knows that my Yanwei has more than 3,000 people, and I want to expand it to more than 10,000 people in the future. We have as much food, grass, ordnance as we need, but I don't know Zhou."
Teacher, do you dare to take this job?"
"With so many troops trained, do you want to rebel? Although Zhou Tong is not talented, he can't do anything to train rebels."
Although Zhou Tong was not as fanatical and loyal as his close disciple Yue Fei, he was able to teach several Forbidden Army instructors, which shows that he was very dedicated.
"Teacher Zhou, have you misunderstood?"
Yang Gui came out and comforted him: "You know, our Zhujiazhuang is in Daming Mansion, and to the north is the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture. We formed the Guards to restore the old land of our homeland, strengthen China, expel the Khitan barbarians, and benefit the people of the world.
Wow!"
One of Dasong's lifelong dreams is to regain Yanyun. Zhou Tong was shocked by Yang Gui's words and asked in surprise: "You...you, you actually have such an ambition?"
"Of course! For generations, the biggest dream of my family, a high-ranking official, is to restore our homeland and honor our ancestors. To do this, we will not hesitate to break our bodies to pieces."
Yang Gui blatantly confused the concept, turned around and said, "Come on, Mr. Murong, swear an oath to Teacher Zhou!"
Murong Fu pointed to the sky with one hand and said: "Murong Fu will only fight for the restoration of his country in this life. If he has second thoughts, he will be struck by five thunders from heaven!"
"This... Master Murong has such great ambitions!"
The ancients swore most seriously. Seeing Murong Fu's sincere emotions and firm eyes, Zhou Tong had nothing to doubt. Instead, he began to feel guilty about his attitude, but he still had concerns in his heart.
"It's just the imperial court. Is it allowed? And the Liao Kingdom can..."
"Hey~" Yang Gui interrupted Zhou Tong and stretched out his palm: "We will pay five thousand taels!"
Zhou Tong's pupils dilated, but he still tried to remain calm and said: "It's not about money. If I want to take over this job, I have to consider the safety of the entire village..."
"Five thousand taels per month!" Yang Gui continued to interrupt Zhou Tong.
"Ah this..."
Zhou Tong's breathing began to quicken. He was not a money-grubbing person, but he taught training to major bankers just for tuition. Who wouldn't want to use his or her abilities to make his or her life better?
Working hard to make money is not the corruption of his former superiors. Zhou Tong feels that he is not ashamed. But even the richest banker he has taught cannot be so generous, less than one tenth.
"Where did you get so much money? Why don't you try to trick me?"
Yang Gui said shyly: "To be honest, we Zhujiazhuang are now doing some small business with Dasong and the Liao Kingdom..."
"oh……"
Zhou Tong made a long sound.
He understands.
The trade between the two countries was still a monopoly, so it was naturally very profitable. He didn't care much about this kind of thing. Originally, his future apprentices, Lu Junyi and Shi Wengong, were both engaged in the business of smuggling arms and horses with the Liao Kingdom.
Before Zhou Tong could make up his mind, Yang Gui stretched out his hand and clasped his fingers and said: "There will be a half-year bonus in the middle of the year and a dividend at the end of the year. Ten days of paid leave every month and twenty-five days of annual leave. You can come and go freely!"
"Just this little money?"
Zhou Tong's eyes were full of contempt: "I can teach for forty years at most."
After saying that, Zhou Tong took Yang Gui's hand with enthusiasm and said, "Let's go, when will we return to Zhujiazhuang? I'll show you what real value for money means!"
Zhou Tong's martial arts skills in the martial arts world are not very high, and he can't stand up to the sky, and he can't reach the level of Feng Bo Evil. There are different levels, but his fighting skills are indeed incomparable.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Not to mention guns and sticks, Yue Fei and Lu Junyi's level is mediocre. He is called "Iron Arm" because he has a skill to train his strength with both arms.
After practicing this method, my arm strength is extremely strong and I can shoot a three hundred kilogram hard bow.
Zhou Tong was also very knowledgeable in marching formations and army training. Speaking of the "Wu Mu's Suicide Notes" hidden in the dragon-slaying knife and known as "commanding the world", Zhou Tong has to be called "ancestor".
Yang Gui took out "Wu Mu's Suicide Note" and showed it to Zhou Tong. Zhou Tong also admired what his distant disciple had learned throughout his life, and he felt even more grateful to Yang Gui.
Zhou Tong settled in Zhujiazhuang and practiced Yanwei day and night.
Over the past one or two months, Yanwei has transformed from a pure Jianghu force to a rudimentary formation of several hundred warriors.
During this period, Yang Gui and Murong Fu brought in many talents either from Chai He or from the prefect of Daming Prefecture. Iron smelters, miners, gunpowder refiners, veterinarians, etc., to name a few.
These people were just the humblest craftsmen in Dasui, and no one looked down upon them. However, when they arrived at Zhujiazhuang, they were treated with incomparable courtesy. They were so moved that they swore loyalty and never betrayed.
Many scholars also came over under the moral abduction of Yang Gui to "recover Yanyun".
In addition, Yang Gui directly issued the first three levels of "Dragon and Elephant Prajna Kung Fu" to the army. This skill has a low threshold and obvious results. Even a fool can master the first three levels if he is willing to work hard.
All have powerful troops with dragon-elephant skills, and their combat effectiveness is unimaginable.
Yang Gui asked Yan Wei to pull out several battalions to suppress bandits in nearby villages and test the actual results.
After the bandits were wiped out, the heads and gold and silver were sent to the prefect of Daming Prefecture. The prefect was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. This was a political achievement that came out of thin air!
He was overjoyed and promised that Zhujiazhuang could do things conveniently in Hebei. Now all the civil and military personnel he had sent became Zhujiazhuang's resources.
On this day, Yang Gui and Murong Fu led the Yan Guard to wipe out another mountain stronghold. After returning from victory, they went to Damingfu City to present gifts. In addition, there were also some precious objects such as arachnids, animal skins, and pearls.
The prefect was overjoyed and directly gave Zhujiazhuang the title of local regiment coach. The Yanwei was now considered a Xiang army, but the Yanwei establishment reported by Yang Gui was only a thousand people.
Everything went well, and the two of them came out of the government office with satisfaction and went to the best restaurant in Daming Mansion to have a big meal. During the dinner, they heard some martial arts people whispering.
"Hey, have you heard that Qiao Feng recognized his identity as a Khitan and changed his name to Xiao Feng?"
"He is indeed a Khitan dog thief! He will not massacre us Han people in the future, right?"
"Why wait until later? Don't you know that Master Zhiguang of Tiantai Mountain has been killed by him because he didn't leak the information to him?"
"I heard that he rushed to Xiaojing Lake two days ago. I don't know who he wants to harm."
"Oh, no! I heard that the King of Dali Zhennan arrived near Xiaojing Lake two days ago. Isn't he going to kill Prince Duan, provoke a dispute between the two countries, and benefit from it later?"
"Hey, what's the use of worrying? Can you beat Xiao Feng or Prince Duan?"
"It's gone, it's gone..."
"No, why did you jump out of the window and run away?"
One of them, who was poor at lightness, stayed there without tears. The waiter was already standing next to him, "Sir, your table has a total of forty-six taels."
The man put on a smile: "Our family...is not short of handymen..."
Murong Fu lowered his head to think and asked Yang Gui: "Mr. Yang, do we want to go to Xiaojing Lake? The King of Dali Zhennan is a big shot. His help will be of great help to our great cause of restoring the country."
"I definitely have to go, but it's not to help the King of Zhennan. Who is Duan Zhengchun? His status is not as good as that of the prefect of Daming Prefecture. You are already trying to get a higher official in Dasong, and you still have to deal with Duan Zhengchun.
Zhengchun?" Yang Gui said disdainfully.
"But after all, he is the King of Zhennan! If we don't help Duan Zhengchun, how can we help Xiao Feng?"
Murong Fu expressed his confusion: "Duan Zhengchun is the prince of Dali after all. I heard that he was granted the title of Crown Prince. Duan Zhengming has no son. In the future, he will be the emperor of Dali. He must be much better than a white man."
"Of course I helped Xiao Feng. Have you forgotten the information we found after we came back? Xiao Feng's father, Xiao Yuanshan, was a highly favored official in the lineage of Empress Dowager Xiao. He was even able to have a limited influence on the foreign military policy of the Liao State. In that case, you
Do you think it’s time for the Liao Kingdom to have a new king of the Southern Academy?”
Murong Fu looked at Yang Gui in disbelief, no, could there be anyone with such a dirty heart in this world?
I saw that a friend corrected me in the previous chapter and I wrote it as a big send-off. In fact, this was intentional. The Song Dynasty was the best era for literati, with a highly prosperous economy and highly developed culture; but it was also the most rubbish dynasty for the Han people. It lost ground before and after.
There was compensation. They both ceded land and paid compensation, claimed vassal status and paid tribute. Although there seemed to be no marriage, Artist Zhao and his son sent all the women in the harem to have marriage. Wanyangou thought about peace every day while paying tribute.
Sue for peace, while destroying the Great Wall and killing Yue Fei. By the end of the Song Dynasty, the winning rate in small battles seemed pretty good, but when it came to big battles, it was basically a loss. Give away land, give money, give fame, give away heads, and call it a big giveaway. It is really reasonable and reasonable.
