"The humble Zhou Xing has met Mr. Fu Jun!" When Zhou Xing saw the other party, he quickly walked up and clasped his fists in salute.
"Hahahaha," the Jiangyang prefect named Mao Hong laughed and said: "I have heard about the name of Zhou Hou for a long time, and it is a great comfort to see you today. Come, let me introduce you to all of us in Jiangyang. "Xiang Xian."
"This is Jiangyang County Magistrate Cheng Yang"
"I have met Zhou Hou!"
"This is Jiang Yang." Su Jun, the patriarch of the wealthy Su family."
Zhou Xing smiled as he met these dozens of people one by one, and couldn't help but feel puzzled. Although he is an otaku, he also knows that showing courtesy for nothing is either adultery or theft. After listening to the introduction from Governor Mao, almost all the prominent people in Jiangyang County gathered here. How could he not be shocked?
He does not think that he is noble.
He is just a small pavilion prince. In terms of dignity, he is still under the county magistrate and magistrate, let alone the dignified county governor.
After drinking for three rounds, he finally understood this doubt in his mind.
It turns out that before this, Jiangyang County was promoted from a prefect to a county. Zhou Xing first defeated the powerful refugee thieves in a decisive battle under Deyang City, and then was appointed as the captain of Jiangyang by the governor of Yizhou. This made many people in Jiangyang County immediately raise their foreheads with their hands, and even Dao Tian felt pity for them, and finally There is such a hero who can make everyone feel at ease to support everyone. < /p>
"We are really excited to hear that your lord has defeated the homeless thieves. Although Jiangyang County is small, as long as you need it, we will definitely support you with all our strength! Your lord, I, Lu, also respect "Marquis Zhou," Mao Hong asked Zhou Xing to sit next to him as soon as he arrived, and said to Zhou Xing with a smile on his face: "Look at our Jiang Yang. Can all the wise men be enthusiastic?"
"Like fire!"
"Hahahahaha," Mao Hong said with a big laugh: "We, Jiangyang, and your country, Bodao, It's less than a hundred miles away, down the river, and less than two hours away. It's true that we are neighbors across the river. If it hadn't been for the rule of Jin that officials should not leave their jurisdiction, I would have wanted to visit you. The great hero who killed the national traitor Shen Xiu. Now that Luo Shijun has appointed you as the captain of Jiangyang and the Marquis of Zhou, then Deyang belongs to Guanghan County and is under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou. It's good here in Yang."
As soon as Mao Hong said this, everyone in the courtyard nodded in agreement, and many people even shouted loudly.
"Oh, so you want me to be stationed in Jiangyang." Zhou Xing's heart was clear at this time. He turned to look at Gongsun Sheng, who nodded slightly and said to him. A look.
Zhou Xing pondered deliberately and said with a troubled face: "Deyang is the gateway to Jiangyang of Pingfan, and we must guard against it. Of course, since I, Zhou Xing, am the captain of Jiangyang, I will protect Jiangyang." The responsibility of Yang isIt's a matter of duty. It’s just, tsk,”
“If the Marquis of Zhou has any difficulties, just ask. Although Jiangyang is small, it is still a county. As long as the Marquis of Zhou needs it, the folks and elders of Jiangyang will definitely help Zhou. Hou solved it. "
"Report! "In the early morning, the sky showed a little light, and several loud voices came from the newly built military camp located in the northeastern corner of Jiangyang County.
"One, two, three..."
“Why is there one person missing, where is Duan Yu? "Murong Fu asked loudly with a cold face.
"Company Commander, didn't I tell you last night? Duan Yu was called out by Miss Gongsun last night. ”
“You haven’t returned to camp? "Murong Fu's heart seemed to have been pricked by something at this time, and his face was even more ugly.
"Well, I never returned to the camp. ”
“Fuck! "Murong Fu cursed in a low voice. Early in the morning, he called these veterans and now the instructors who were training new recruits together. In fact, he just wanted to see if Duan Yu was back. Hearing this made him most worried. After the fact, I was filled with anger and hatred.
“Those new recruits, get some training. Whoever's team has the worst assessment at that time will get the hell out of my company! "
"Hey, company commander, what do you think that art troupe is? No matter how you say, if you ask one of us to leave, just ask one of us to leave. "The speaker's name is Zhou Laosan, an old man from the Bodao Kingdom who joined the volunteer army from the beginning.
"I don't know what that art troupe is. "Murong Fu thought bitterly, but shouted loudly: "What do you care about that? The prince caught it himself. Why are you staring at each other? I don’t know what you people are thinking. Isn’t it just the beautiful girl over there who makes you jealous? Go fuck yourself and train for me right away. It’s business to earn some money and go back to your village to find a wife. Those in the art troupe, you toads, stop dreaming.
“Damn it, that guy Duan Yu is so handsome and thick, why did Miss Gongsun fall in love with him?” So damn evil. "Watching those people quickly summoning the new recruits he was responsible for training, Murong Fu, who was standing there, muttered depressedly.
Since Zhou Xing returned from Jiangyang, with the full support of those big families , Zhou Xing wanted money and people. He suddenly realized that there was something wrong with him from the beginning. This world is a world of big families, not a world of small families. I still didn't fully understand what was going on, but after receiving a large amount of money and food and quickly replenishing a thousand troops, Zhou Xing only left Qiao Feng's company in Deyang, and he took the rest of his men to Han in Jiangyang County. Anxian established a new camp less than a hundred miles away from Deyang.
This place is not only close to Deyang, but also close to Zizhong County of Qianwei and Dianjiang of Bajun. County. Not only Jiangyang County was satisfied, but also Jianwei County and Ba County. Wang Zhan asked Ruban to send several hundred kilograms of pig iron.Gu Ping, the prefect of the county, was obviously not to be outdone, and sent his subordinates repeatedly to bring supplies to greet them. For a moment, Zhou Xing was simply flattered.
After receiving additional personnel, he does not plan to form an additional battalion for the time being, but to form a few more companies. After all, he is also an official of the imperial court now, and he must consider many things. Besides, besides Gongsun Shu, he didn't want to promote anyone else to become the new battalion commander for the time being. This is unfair to Gongsun Shu. Moreover, he still wanted to insist on the practice of officers being officers and non-commissioned officers being non-commissioned officers.
At the same time, after receiving so much substantial support, his mood became clear again.
Who said his efforts were in vain?
Who said that no one cares when he goes up a pole to help others?
The eyes of this crowd are sharp!
Under this great situation, Zhou Xing's thoughts began to come alive again. He decided to strike while the iron was hot and once again resorted to the killer weapon of publicity.
And after the last battle in Deyang, not to mention Gongsun Shu, who had a long military tradition since childhood, even a layman like Zhou Xing saw many advantages of the spear phalanx. Problem comes out. The reason why he didn't stand on the front line to kill the enemy at that time was because he wanted to see what problems he had when faced with the reality of what he had created.
Lack of mobility and weak long-distance attack effect.
Especially long-distance strikes.
This is probably the first time the other party has encountered such a well-organized phalanx, and they can't think of a way to deal with it in a hurry. But after Zhou Xing and Gongsun Shu discussed it afterwards, they came up with several ways to break this dense phalanx.
The most effective idea is to fight on the move and not to get close to this kind of phalanx. Just use a hard bow, or gather some powerful monks to attack with throwing weapons, and keep a good distance. With Zhou Xing's current staffing, I'm afraid it won't last long and this phalanx will collapse.
If he can think of it, then the other party will definitely be able to think of it. When it comes to this kind of life-and-death matter, no one is a fool.
When Zhou Xing was discussing with Gongsun Shu, he suddenly remembered what everyone liked to hear in Shangluo about the time when Ma Long, the Polu captain, recruited monks in Shangluo. Ma Long set a standard from the beginning, which was to give priority to recruiting five-stone hard bows that could draw the most powerful military weapon in the Jin Dynasty. This matter was just a story in Zhou Xing's mind before, but now that he thought about it, he suddenly had a clear understanding. Combined with all the known history of his two lives, one thing suddenly became clear in his heart.
Long-range strike is the king of the battlefield.
Ma Long relied on these more than 5,000 monks who could draw a five-stone hard bow to sweep across the two states of Yongliang and defeated hundreds of thousands of rebel Di barbarians in Liangzhou. Zhou Xing knew in his heart that if his phalanx encountered Ma Long's style of play, he would only be beaten passively. Without ten thousand people rushing into the formation, he might not even be able to get close to the opponent.
He can even say that without thousands or even tens of thousands of cavalry rushing into battle, the opponent wouldThis style of play is really almost damage-free.
With the large number of horses owned by Liangzhou Diman, they fought with Malong for half a year, and finally made Malong lose more than a thousand monks. This shows the success of Malong's tactics.
But in the whole world, only the imperial court can make the five-stone hard bow. When Zhou Xing thought about this, he didn't know whether he should be sorry or grateful. Although he also knew the structural diagram of a so-called divine arm bow, he had no idea in his mind what materials it should be made of to shoot the bow and arrow so far.
Moreover, there is the most crucial point: people!
There are so many monks in Shangluo, and it was Emperor Huangfuyan of Jin Dynasty who personally ordered Ma Long to recruit monks in Shangluo, which made countless monks flock to him.
Learn literary and martial arts well and sell them to the emperor's family.
This has been the case since ancient times.
Every time he thinks of this, Zhou Xing feels powerless in his heart. This time, although Jiangyang County immediately replenished the balance of his soldiers, as he expected, there was still no monk.
No monk is willing to condescend to be a small captain like him
And among the official positions in the Jin Dynasty, captain is almost the smallest official position. As for
without the imperial establishment, even civilians would not want to be soldiers, let alone monks.
And he relies on himself to select people with spiritual veins among the common people for training. First, he does not have so many spiritual valleys. Second, it takes too long to practice. That is Qiao Feng. That kind of person with extraordinary understanding, and with his guidance on the side, has just entered the door.
Mao Hong, the governor of Jiangyang County, had given him a pat on the back regarding the bow and arrow matter, but Zhou Xing had to find a way to solve the monk matter on his own.
Fooling.
This is what Zhou Xing can think of.
Rely on publicity and literary and artistic works to trick young and energetic monks into joining.
"The Nu family is originally from Mianzhu, and they sew mandarin ducks with their hands to miss their lover. They sleep in the morning under the paper curtains of the rattan bed, and the agarwood intermittents intermittent with the coldness of the jade furnace. The best time has been determined and the days are still long. When will the mandarin ducks sleep on their necks with their breaths crossed? ."
In a spacious barracks, a beautiful woman with a slender figure and a long skirt was doing embroidery while softly singing a thought-provoking song. This woman is none other than Xin Wan.
After Zhou Xing rescued Deyang that day, because of her father and brother, she immediately followed Gongsun Yanlingpu and others and took several servants who were waiting for her to help take care of the wounded and work hard. To make up for the unspeakable mistakes of his father and brother. She was originally pampered since she was a child. After experiencing a series of things like running away from home, she is no longer the silly sweet girl. After working with Gongsun Yan for several days, she gradually fell in love with this fulfilling feeling. She imitated Gongsun Yan, disguised herself as a man and hung out with her, busying around in the military camp.
However, compared to the cheerful Gongsun Yan, her personality is still much shy and weak. Gongsun Yan takes the lead in everything, and she seems to have become Gongsun Yan's follower.Same as Ben, but she didn't care at all. What made her even more strange was that her father and brother seemed to have not seen this and were indifferent to her behavior, which made her feel even more at ease.
Since that day, her father Xin Ran never mentioned anything about moving to Jingzhou. This kind of thing was not their family's business in the first place, not just the entire Xin family, but also many people from her hometown, and even many families in Deyang County now, with a total of more than 2,000 people. According to her brother, as long as so many people gathered together, they would move far away, and no one would dare to challenge them along the way. After arriving in Jingzhou, it was more than enough for everyone to form a camp to protect themselves.
After Zhou Xing arrived in Deyang, she was still worried at first. She was afraid that Zhou Xing and others would know what her father was doing secretly, and she was also afraid that her father would continue to do those things secretly. However, after she observed carefully for a few days, she gradually felt relieved. She even heard her father scolding his brother Xin Hui once, saying that with the fine troops of the people of Bodao here, Deyang was as stable as Mount Tai.
After Gongsun Yan got the new task assigned to her by the art troupe from Zhou Xing, she approached Xin Wan. The two were busy for a few days, and also attracted several little sisters who Xin Wan was usually close to, as well as various friends. There were quite a few maids and so on who served them at home. After several attempts, everyone agreed that Xin Wan had the best voice and she should be the heroine of this drama.
Originally, with her shy and soft personality, she would not have been able to get on such a stage. But this matter was originally organized by her and Gongsun Yan, and Gongsun Yan had more things to be busy with, so she couldn't shirk it, so she gritted her teeth and took it.
She heard that these lyrics were written by Zhou Xing and Gongsun Yan after consultation. When she first read it, her little sisters burst into laughter, but she blushed with embarrassment. .
