Chapter 0337 Two words written by Kou Ji to Di Qing, 20,000 words! Get it!)
Since the Jingsai Army was dusted, the cavalry seems to have become an eternal pain for the Song Army.
The level of the Song Army cavalry has caught up with the level of the Liao cavalry, which seems to be a happy thing in the eyes of all Song Army veterans.
Kou Ji said to the old man: "We must not only catch up with the Liao cavalry, but also surpass them."
When the old man heard what Kou Ji said, he thought of the heavy armor worn by the children of the Tiger Character Army, and said in surprise: "Is my benefactor planning to reappear in the Jingsai Army?"
Kou Ji nodded, then shook his head, "Yes and no..."
The old man could not understand the meaning of Kou Ji's words. He frowned and reminded in a deep voice: "My dear friend, our weapons and armor can catch up with the level of the Jingsai Army, and even surpass it.
But our horses are not enough.
According to the standards of the Jingsai Army, heavy armor riding requires one person and five horses, and they are five good horses.
Our Tiger Army has 10,000 people, and each of the 10,000 people is equipped with five horses, that is, 50,000 horses.
If we want to select 50,000 good horses, we must raise at least 100,000 horses."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Don't worry about the horses. I will get enough horses within three years. Besides, I don't want to make all the soldiers of the Tiger Army into heavy armor cavalry."
The old man looked at Kou Ji suspiciously and asked, "Then what do you plan to do..."
Before he finished speaking, Kou Ji said with a smile: "Let me put it aside for now. I will tell you after the forging iron workshop I built is completed and new iron is forged."
The old man nodded thoughtfully and asked a little embarrassedly: "How long will it take?"
Before Kou Ji could speak, the old man added, "I'm afraid it will be too long and I won't be able to see the children of the Tiger Army show off their power on the battlefield."
Kou Ji pointed at the refugees outside the tent and said: "Those victims outside are the people who helped us forge iron. How long do you think it will be?"
The old man looked outside the tent in a daze.
The number of refugees outside the tent has exceeded 100,000.
Among them, there are about 60,000 young adults.
More than 60,000 people forged iron. The old man could not imagine the scene.
It won't take long to produce a batch of iron materials for more than 10,000 people to make armor and weapons.
The old man stared at the refugees outside the tent for a long time, then chuckled and said, "Our food is not given to them in vain."
Kou Ji shook his head dumbfounded and asked the old man: "How well did Yang Wenguang build the Bulgarian Army?"
The old man turned around and said with a smile: "The training is quite impressive. There are many new soldiers and they haven't gone out to practice. I don't know how capable they are. I don't know if they will be frightened after seeing the Liao cavalry."
Wet your pants.”
In fact, after Yang Wenguang implemented elite troops in the Bulgarian Army, the personal power and military formation capabilities of the Bulgarian Army officers and soldiers have greatly improved.
It's almost comparable to an ordinary imperial army.
It's just that Yang Wenguang's army recruits a lot of new soldiers, and most of them have never experienced war, so the old man said this.
In the eyes of veterans like the old man, soldiers who have never been on the battlefield or experienced fighting are not qualified soldiers. No matter how well they are trained, they are just embroidered pillows.
There is great terror between life and death. A soldier who can withstand the test of such great terror, even if his physical fitness is average, is still a qualified soldier.
The old man commented on the soldiers and horses under Yang Wenguang's command, then lowered his voice subconsciously and said to Kou Ji: "Recently, he seems to be thinking about the armor of our Tiger Army. He has been obsessed with it in the armor-forging workshop all day long, trying to get our craftsmen to do it."
, help his soldiers create a batch of identical armors."
The old man seemed to think Yang Wenguang's behavior was funny. When he said this, he even laughed out loud.
The armor and weapons of the Tiger Character Army were all designed by Kou Ji himself, and were more advanced than any armor in the Song Dynasty, Xixia, Liao and other countries.
The defensive power is slightly weaker than the infantry armor, but the weight is more than twice as light as the infantry armor.
Such a good thing fell into Yang Wenguang's eyes, how could he not miss it.
But he can only think about it.
The Baosai Army belongs to the Xiang Army, and the weapons, food and grass distributed by the imperial court are extremely limited.
He wanted to equip the soldiers of the Bulgarian Army with the armor and weapons of the Tiger Army, but it was simply impossible.
Unless he empties Yang's house and pays for it himself.
That would not necessarily allow the entire Bulgarian Army to be equipped with the armor and weapons used by the Tiger-shaped military.
The Tiger Character Army is different. It is the only personal army of the Emperor, and its status is much higher than that of the Forbidden Army.
Zhao Zhen was particularly concerned about his own army of the emperor.
As long as he can help the Huzi Army gain benefits, he will work hard to achieve it.
Kou Zhun, Wang Zeng, and Li Di didn't make things difficult for him. They just thought that he spent a little money to buy a growth experience.
Therefore, the current treatment of the Tiger Character Army, due to Zhao Zhen's repeated efforts, is vaguely catching up with the Forbidden Army and the Fourth Army.
From military pay, food and grass, to iron materials for making weapons and armor, the Tiger Army never lacked anything.
Even so, Chen Lin would occasionally send sheep, pigs and other items obtained from unknown sources to improve the food for the soldiers of the Tiger Army.
Of course, Kou Ji also knew that Chen Lin used this opportunity to plant some spies into the Tiger Army.
But he didn't ask.
Chen Lin placed spies in the Tiger Character Army mainly to prevent Kou Ji from using the Tiger Character Army to cause chaos.
Kou Ji understood his thoughts, so he allowed the spies sent by Chen Lin to be placed in the Tiger Army.
Therefore, the treatment of the Tiger Army is far beyond that of a wing of the Baosai Army.
Even if Yang Wenguang coveted those armors and weapons, he could only look at them.
This is probably why the old man laughed at Yang Wenguang.
The old man laughed at Yang Wenguang, but it wasn't that he looked down on Yang Wenguang.
He looked down upon the Bolsheviks.
After all, most of the soldiers in the Bulgarian Army have not been trained on the battlefield.
In fact, the old man also looked down upon the Tiger Character Army, because the Tiger Character Army also had not experienced the training of the battlefield.
The reason why the old man moved towards the Tiger-Charactered Army was because many of the soldiers in the Tiger-Charactered Army were their descendants.
The only thing he is optimistic about is the future of the Tiger Character Army.
After Kou Ji thought about it for a while, he said to the old man: "When you go back, tell the craftsmen to make a set of armaments with different colors according to the style of the armor and blades of the Tiger Character Army and give it to Yang Wenguang.
Only officers above the first level of the capital can equip it.
The money spent will be counted on the head of the Tiger Character Army."
When the old man heard what Kou Ji said, he nodded and said nothing.
He can intervene in the training of the Tiger Army because he is qualified.
But he would not interfere in other matters of the Tiger Character Army.
That's because he knows his status and knows how to abide by his duties.
After asking about Yang Wenguang's current situation, Kou Ji turned the topic to Di Qing, the leader of the Tiger Army.
When Di Qing was mentioned, the old man's expression became a little more playful. He smiled at Kou Ji and said, "Di Qing is married, do you know my benefactor?"
"Married?"
Kou Ji was a little stunned.
The old man nodded and said with a smile: "A few months ago, a female heroine came from outside the Tiger Army camp and asked Di Qing by name. She had a fierce battle with Di Qing outside the camp, but Di Qing was defeated and was sneaked back to the camp.
.
Later, this female heroine served as a captain in the Tiger Army.
Two months ago, this heroine went to Fenzhou and brought Di Qing's parents, brother and sister-in-law to Baozhou.
After daily practice, he went to serve Di Qing's parents.
Di Qing's parents felt deeply about her filial piety and took it as their own initiative to marry her into the family."
The second sister of the Cao family, a lady from a wealthy family, who can do this, must have true love for Di Qing.
Kou Ji asked tentatively: "That woman is one round older than Di Qing. Can Di Qing's parents agree?"
"Hey……"
The old man laughed and said: "Di Qing's parents really care about that heroine. When they meet everyone, they happily say that Di Qing's ability to marry such a good wife is a blessing from his ancestors.
Besides, it’s not a big deal for my daughter’s family to grow up.
Older people will hurt others.
Among those wealthy families, when the young masters in the house are young, they are often given an older wife to take care of them."
Kou Jidao did not refute the old man's words.
Among wealthy families, if they have a son in old age, or if they only have one son, they will definitely marry him a virtuous wife when he is young.
One is to prevent the children from being left without care after the old couple suddenly died.
The second reason is to prevent no one to take care of the family business after the death of the old couple, causing the family business to fail and the children to suffer.
Therefore, the matter of old wives and young fathers was very common in ancient times.
Hearing that Di Qing's parents not only did not hate the second sister of the Cao family, but also liked the second sister of the Cao family very much, Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully.
He continued to ask: "Does Di Qing like the second sister of the Cao family?"
When the old man heard this, his smile became even brighter. He chuckled and said, "A few days after the heroine arrived, he secretly kissed her. The girl was so ashamed that she hid in the barracks and didn't come out all day."
When Kou Ji heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched and he continued to ask: "What else?"
The old man smiled and said: "In a few days, someone saw them holding hands and walking by the river."
Hearing what the old man said, Kou Ji let out a sigh of relief, and together with the old man, he began to laugh at Di Qing and scold Di Qing.
In the eyes of the two of them, Di Qing seemed to be a guy with a thief heart but no courage.
In fact, Kou Ji was really afraid that Di Qing wouldn't like the second sister of the Cao family.
From the moment Kou Ji learned that the second sister of the Cao family was willing to escape from the house for Di Qing, Kou Ji knew that the second sister of the Cao family liked Di Qing.
He was also a little dizzy at the time, so he wrote two words and gave them to Di Qing, hoping to promote this marriage.
Although it is a bit cruel to Di Qing, once the two of them get together, it will be a big help to Di Qing.
In the future, the most likely outcome is to help Di Qing acquire a few concubines, or to obtain a special edict from Zhao Zhen so that Xu Diqing can have an equal wife as compensation.
As the son-in-law of the Cao family, no one can manipulate him arbitrarily.
He doesn't have to watch helplessly as his trusted generals are killed in front of him, unable to do anything about it.
Nor will you feel resentful about being bullied, get sores on your mouth, and end up depressed.
Kou Ji changed Di Qing's destiny. He was not sure whether Di Qing would still become a famous general as recorded in the history books.
But Kou Ji felt that since he bumped into Di Qing, he shouldn't watch Di Qing make the same mistake again.
At least let him live a better life and not be so miserable.
It's just that Kou Ji felt a little regretful after he sent someone to deliver those two words.
He felt that it would be bad if Di Qing and the second sister of the Cao family were in love with the concubine but not with the husband.
If they fail to bring the two together, they will instead become resentful and Di Qing will get into trouble for nothing.
Now that he heard that Di Qing was also interested in the second sister of the Cao family, Kou Ji felt much more relaxed.
At least things didn't go to the bad side, but went all the way to the good side.
As for the two words Kou Ji wrote to Di Qing, only he and Di Qing knew about it.
Two extremely simple and crude words.
Kiss her!
After Di Qing saw those two words, he actually did it.
This is also the reason why the corner of Kou Ji's mouth twitched when he heard Di Qing kissed the second sister of the Cao family just now.
Kou Ji accompanied the old man and talked about everything in Baozhou in detail. When he knew that everything in Baozhou was developing for the better, he felt relieved.
The two chatted until the evening.
After Kou Ji and the old man had a bowl of beans and rice with the refugees, Kou Ji arranged for the old man to stay in his tent.
The style of early winter is cold outside.
The old man is getting older and cannot bear the cold wind.
In the entire place where the refugees were resettled, only Kou Ji's tent was the warmest, so Kou Ji placed the old man in his own tent.
He himself led Chen Jing, Wang Tiansheng and others to inspect a circle of places where the refugees were resettled.
Tens of thousands of young people worked together and worked hard for many days to build nearly 4,000 houses, each of which could house twenty refugees.
There are more than 4,000 houses, which can accommodate more than 80,000 refugees.
Coupled with the tents that Kou Ji had prepared previously and the tents occupied by the patients, all the refugees could barely be accommodated.
With the largest group of refugees arriving in Bianjing City, the problem of accepting and resettling the refugees has come to an end.
Even if there are refugees coming here from now on, I'm afraid they won't be too many in number.
Nearly ten days have passed since the flood came.
Regardless of the number of refugees behind, there will never be too many who can reach Bianjing City.
The refugees before them ate everything they could on the way to Bianjing.
All that was left to them were bare branches and patches of loess.
Most of them will eventually fall on the way to Bianjing City.
Either freeze to death or starve to death.
Only a very small number of people could make it to Bianjing City.
Therefore, after Kou Ji inspected the houses, he allocated another area for the refugees to build a thousand more houses to vacate those tents, and did not let the refugees build more houses.
The newly built houses are a little damp, but they are enough to protect the refugees from the cold wind.
Coupled with the piles of hay inside and outside the walls and under the bed, it was enough for them to feel warm and angry in the house and prevent them from freezing to death.
After Koji finished inspecting the houses where the refugees lived, he returned to his tent and saw three figures with a group of people waiting for him outside his tent.
