"So, are you all from the hungry people of Liaodong?"
In the evening, in a field located at the edge of the Mingdao Palace complex, on the edge of a field where crops had just been harvested, by the campfire, Zhao Guan's family casually put down their pottery bowls, wiped their mouths gracelessly, and continued to ask questions.
"The official family..."
"Just call me everyone, just sit down and talk." One of the biggest advantages of a time traveler is that he can relax his body.
"Everyone." The strong man who sat back on the horse with the bowl was obviously one of the few smart people in the camp, but he was at a loss at this time, so much so that he seemed to have trouble speaking. "We were originally
They are not hungry people, they are just ordinary people in Liaodong... Just like me, I used to be a horse dealer... It's just that when the Jurchen Emperor Wanyan Agu got up to fight the Khitan Emperor, the Khitan Emperor collected too much money and food, and there was nowhere to make a living in Liaodong.
Only then did we become hungry people. Later, when the Khitan people could not defeat the Jurchens, they recruited us Han hungry people in Liaodong. Because they blamed the Jurchens for losing their livelihood, they called us the "Resentful Army". Later, there was a person who ridiculed us.
After becoming the emperor, he changed the ever-victorious army. The eight hundred cavalrymen who are following now are all old men from the Yanzhou Battalion of the Eighth Battalion of the Resentful Army..."
"Where is Yanzhou?" Zhao Jiu was curious for a moment and couldn't help but ask again.
"To report back to everyone, in fact, the official name of our Yanzhou is not Yanzhou, but Yanyuanzhou. It is located next to Liaoyang Prefecture on the Tokyo-Tokyo Road in Daliao, and to the south by the sea..." Someone else couldn't help but interjected.
.
I dare you to be an old man from Yingkou!
Dressed in a dazzling red robe with a round collar, Zhao Guanjia, who was sitting there, suddenly felt astonished. While nodding his head repeatedly, he couldn't help but pat his thigh.
Let's say that while Zhao Guanjia was nodding his head repeatedly, he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart, and started to have reverie... Firstly, he had been to Yingkou back then, so he couldn't help but have some childish symptoms of homesickness; secondly, he didn't understand why,
This is a 'beggar army' that has no worries and is not involved with anyone! Moreover, it is a rare and skilled cavalry in the industry!
So naturally I gave it some thought.
On the other side, several Yingkou old men saw the young Zhao Guanjia thinking deeply. They thought that the other party was just a prince before and did not know the important affairs of the court, so they wondered why they were here again... But they did not dare to stop easily, but instead
I can only explain their origin clearly along the way.
It turned out that after the establishment of this army, the commander of the camp was called Liu Yan, and the general of the resentful army, that is, the ever-victorious army, was the famous pharmacist Guo.
Yaoshi Guo is a legendary figure in the world these days... This does not mean that his martial arts are unparalleled or his military strategy is outstanding, but that this person is a remnant of the Khitan and lived on the Song-Jin border after the fall of the Liao Kingdom.
First, he surrendered to the Song Dynasty, but after seeing the internal weakness of the Song Dynasty, he surrendered to the Jin army, and directly advised the marshal of the Jin Dynasty. The second prince Wanyan Wanli refused to attack Bianliang, which actually contributed to the Jin army.
Moved south and perished in the Northern Song Dynasty.
In other words, this person is one of the origins of Jingkang's shame.
However, among the Eighth Battalion of the Resentment Army, which was basically composed of Han people in Liaodong, and was later renamed the Changsheng Army, the general of the Yanzhou Battalion, Liu Yan, was an authentic Song man, and seemed to be a scholar from the south, but he did not know it in his early years.
Why he was exiled to the Liao Kingdom, there is a hidden secret anyway... So, when Guo Yaoshi rebelled, many of the Changsheng Army returned northward, but this man led the Yanzhou Camp to stay in the Song Dynasty.
In response to this, in order to commend the loyalty of this unit, Emperor Huizong at the time gave it a special name, the Red Heart Team!
Later, this unit went through many twists and turns, but it has always been a firm stand. During the Jingkang Incident, it was one of the few units that was always active on the front line of the anti-golden war, but was able to maintain its organization and combat effectiveness after the war.
The more Zhao Jiu listened, the more ideas he had, so much so that he even called him lucky... It should be noted that he came here 30% out of curiosity and 70% out of curiosity to avoid Yang Yizhong, but unexpectedly he gained a lot!
As for where is the harvest?
It just so happened that this army came from Liao Dynasty!
You know, at all times and at home and abroad, when the internal situation becomes more complicated, when the status of monarchs and generals is the most unstable, they often use foreign troops as their own guards, because they have no serious involvement with the internal affairs, as long as the monarch and generals can guarantee
In terms of treatment, this kind of foreign troops are the most reliable troops.
For example, around this time, on the religious dividing line in the Western world, the guards of many small princes came from the opposite side... The Moorish warlords in North Africa were popular with the Christian Guards; the Spanish nobles were popular with the North African Guards. This is roughly the reason.
Already.
Of course, Zhao Jiu is not a big historical figure.
On the contrary, most of his historical knowledge comes from nine-year compulsory education and some basic popular science books, plus at most some high-end online books such as "Qin Officials" and "Han Que", and low-level books such as Total War.
I'm playing the game, so I don't know about these weird things.
Only the principles in the world are the same, and Zhao Jiu happened to have his own situation and needs.
As soon as he thought about this, Zhao Jiu began to make plans in his mind, thinking about how to bring this army over so that he could have a good sleep.
Who would have expected that just when Zhao Guanjia was gradually making plans, those Yingkou veterans began to talk to each other and gradually let go.
Among them, a person's name was mentioned that Zhao Jiu was particularly concerned about, and it reminded him of another person!
"That day in Tokyo, we followed Liu Yingtou under the command of Lieutenant Liu. Unexpectedly, Lieutenant Liu had a long-legged temperament for many years. From the Gaoliang River to Tokyo, he still ran away as soon as the war started! We were just a battalion.
First, there was really no choice but to be wrapped up by his tens of thousands of Kansai soldiers and run out. Before he could settle down, he said that the leader Liu Taiwei was running too fast. As a result, he ran into the golden man head-on at Guier Temple and was killed directly.
, and then tens of thousands of Western soldiers collapsed in confusion..."
"At that time, many thieves took the opportunity to run away, but we did not run away, but there were only one thousand of the three thousand sons left, so I asked Liu Yingtou where to go? Liu Yingtou said that there was no way to go to Tokyo, but I
We all received kindness from the Song Dynasty and had to repay it. It just so happened that you were serving as the general marshal of the army in Hebei Province, so we came to look for you."
"As soon as we crossed the river, we met the deputy marshal of the clan who had accepted the official order and wanted to save the two saints. So we went with the deputy marshal of the clan to save the two saints..."
"The deputy marshal of the clan is a good man. He is so old and he is a Jinshi, but he is just like our Liu Yingtou, without any trace of sourness. Following him has been the most productive time we have had in the past few years.
It's a pity that I don't know how to fight... The tens of thousands of elite soldiers you worked hard to raise for the officials were wiped out again. We had no choice but to save the deputy marshal Zong and escape, but at this time there were no soldiers in Hebei.
Now, the official family also went around from Shandong to Nanjing (Shangqiu). We counted and found that there were only 800 people, so we had to follow the deputy marshal across the river to Nanjing, and then we followed the official family..."
"Everyone...it's really hard, brother!" The sky turned completely dark, and Zhao Guanjia sighed with emotion when he came back to his senses.
"You don't dare to call me brother in front of the officials!" Several Yingkou veterans who were sitting nearest stood up in fright.
"Why can't you call me that?" Zhao Jiu smiled and responded with the gossip he had heard from Concubine Pan in the past few days. "You have been in Liaodong for a long time and still don't understand the customs of the Central Plains. From the royal family to the street handymen,
, people in the Central Plains and Shandong area only call me brother at will... Even though I am a prince in Tokyo, everyone in the house calls me ninth brother, and the pear seller on the roadside, you and I can also call me little brother."
Only then did several cavalrymen regain their composure.
"Speaking of which," at this moment, Zhao Jiu suddenly changed the topic and looked expectant. "You have been with the deputy marshal of the clan in Hebei for a long time. Have you ever recognized a person named Yue Fei?"
However, several Red Heart soldiers looked at each other, but no one knew.
"May I ask the officials, who is this extravagant figure like Yue Fei that the officials will never forget?" The man who had been talking so eloquently asked boldly.
"Yue Fei is not an extravagant person..." Zhao Jiu was obviously a little frustrated. "Yue Fei is that Yue Fei. He seems to be from Hebei, named Pengju. He fought with Zong Ze, the deputy marshal you call Zong..."
Several soldiers of the Red Heart Corps looked at each other again, but they shook their heads.
Zhao Jiu was completely helpless.
However, seeing that Zhao Guan's family was in a low mood and was about to change at any time, and talking about it all night long made many people feel uncomfortable or serious, one of them suddenly took the initiative to ask:
"Guan family, I heard someone said that we stopped suddenly this time not because there were bandits in front of us, but because Guan family, you didn't want to go south. Is that what happened?"
"Oh..." Zhao Jiu was in a trance for a moment, and almost blurted out. "Well, I do have this idea, but if I stay here, I really don't know how to resist the Jin soldiers who come at any time. Maybe I have to go to Yangzhou.
go."
When the soldiers around him heard this, their expressions changed slightly, but they didn't say much.
At this time, Zhao Jiu also realized that he seemed to have made a mistake, and wanted to change the topic, but before he could speak, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from the shadow of the night behind him:
"Guan family, I was ordered to deliver Mrs. Pan's ice cream."
Zhao Jiu stood up and turned around in shock, only to find that Yang Yizhong had been standing behind him from some unknown time, and he was holding a bowl of snacks such as milk cakes in his hands as if he were respectful.
