Li Xun’s letter was quickly sent out. He is now waiting for the court to give him an order. He finally found an excuse not to go back. If he wants to come to the court, it is impossible to send a few more people here right away. By the way, the time is too late, and they have been beaten here, so how can I take care of other things
Now there are 3,000 soldiers in Luzhou. At the beginning, it was 4,000. After several trainings, those who could not keep up with the 1,000 were eliminated. There are quite a few 3,000 soldiers. Now they have trained a few. The month is pretty good, the real big battle is not big, but the small battle is not a problem, especially if you use a good weapon to bully people.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also think so. Don't look at the three thousand people playing against several countries in Zhoubian. It is of no use, but for that small place, there is still no problem.
There were not many people there, and there was no big organization, and no good weapons. Needless to say, there were 3,000 people. In the past, 1,000 people could walk sideways there, plus Li Xun’s guards. And fifty-six people from Zhang's family, went there together and bullied the locals to death.
After Li Xun sent the letter away, they began to ask Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to take him to see the training situation of the three thousand people. They couldn't wait to pass by now.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan would naturally not refuse. The group headed towards the barracks. They were still emotional on the road. Luzhou, they finally have their own soldiers, so there can be people in the position to record the incident and join the army. There is no need for one. People take care of a lot of things, and that would be too unstable.
When the three people arrived at the military camp, they heard the screams of the soldiers from afar. They sounded pretty good, but I don’t know if they could be like shouts when they really fought. Among these three thousand people There are a thousand people who lived on the mountain, and their formation is not very good, but if they are really killed, their thousand people can easily clean up the two thousand people.
"Okay, that's right, training, training hard, I usually give you so good food, so I have a lot of money, I am sorry for what I eat if I don't train well."
Li Xun stopped and watched. Zhang Xiaobao didn't say anything, and Wang Juan remained silent.
The three people watched for a while, and Li Xun urged the horse to rush over. He didn’t know what he thought. At this time, he started to use the pre-war mobilization, where he spoke to the three thousand people who were talking about Datang. How it was attacked, it is not honest to say that Datang's land was occupied by others.
Three thousand people don’t care if the place is Datang or not. Anyway, some people say that it is. As soon as they hear that people in the past have been beaten, they will stop doing it immediately. Individuals can only be knocked out.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were listening and watching, they were speechless.
"This is a weak country without diplomacy. Only when it is strong can others not be bullied. The more important thing is to maintain the blood of the nation. As long as there is blood, then it will look a little weaker, and the country will be smaller. Don't dare to do it, just like the mountain people here, who dares to provoke them when nothing is wrong, and can't afford to pay the price."
Zhang Xiaobao has a good impression of the people in this place now. Whenever he talks about fighting, the men in that family are all ready to go out, as long as they find an excuse.
Wang Juan also thinks so. A bloodless wolf can't do a bloody wild horse. If you want to be respected by others, you must have respectable strength and attitude. It is useless to always beg for peace. , Peace is exchanged for blood.
"Xiaobao, Juanjuan, what happened?" While Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were still here with emotion, Old Man Zhang and Old Man Bi walked over from behind. The two heard the three men hurriedly riding to the barracks. I felt something was wrong before I came here.
As soon as Old Man Zhang arrived, he saw Li Xunyu talking to the soldiers over there. It seemed a little inappropriate in the past, so he had to ask Zhang Xiaobao two people.
"Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Bi are here. Actually, it's not a big deal. That's right, a place in my Datang has been occupied by people who don't know where it came from. They occupied it. Naturally, I want to keep it for them. Let’s get down to the place where we live, but the result is that after treating them well, our people from Datang passed by. Guess what? They dare to attack our people, and our people suffer a lot. harm."
Zhang Xiaobao now insists that the place is Datang, and no one said no anyway. It has been occupied until then, no, it is not. Just like the Tang Dynasty, how could the original Central Plains be as big as it is now? It's not lay down yet.
"Really someone was seriously injured?" Old Man Bi asked with concern. He knew where the so-called Great Tang was, and it seemed that he had found it, which is really great.
Wang Juan said next to him: "Grandpa Bi, I was really badly injured. Both of them had broken arms, and one of them also injured the leg. This is not the most important place. The most important thing is two people. The most hurt in his heart.
The two of them just arrived there and took our good things and tried to exchange them with their local bad things. Grandpa Bi, do you think our things are good? But the people there actually directly attacked the two of us who had gone with good intentions.
After the two people were beaten, they couldn’t understand why the kind people are always hurt. They are nightmares when they dream at night. They are often awakened in dreams. Grandpa Bi, the people on their side are really too bad. It’s clear. It just treats our kindness as weakness.
When there was no way, the people on our side had to be forced to fight back. Fortunately, our people were determined to die after being bullied, and this drove them back, but we have been there for many years after all. We haven’t been managed anymore, and the local people don’t know us anymore, so we had to come back dingy, Xiaobao, did that mean? "
"Yes, that's it. After Li Xun and Li Hou became aware of this matter, he couldn't sit still. After all, Li Gongzi is a royal person. He must protect the people under the rule. How can he let a strong enemy bully him? When I get to the current place, I am going to find some army to let people over there know whose site it is and how to do it in the future. After all..."
"Xiaobao, cuckoo, needless to say, you two, I know, I know, that's why it is really outrageous." Old man Bi interrupted Zhang Xiaobao's impassionedness over there, and echoed the sentence. .
That's it. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are satisfied. Old man Zhang really doesn't know what to say. Just listening to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan can understand that the team sent by the two people was really looking for trouble in the past. Talking about doing business, this came up and hit.
Li Xun, this kid is not a fuel-efficient lamp. I just found an excuse and started to deploy soldiers. The soldiers here just reported to the past. I don’t know about them. After all, the soldiers here need to be trained to look like soldiers. Said to be a soldier, just sent the news for six days.
In this way, the current Li Xun took the people out to fight, and the court could not hold them accountable. After all, Li Xun took the people away when the soldiers were not ready.
Old man Zhang pulled Old Man Bi to a place nearby, and said to Old Man Bi, "What should I do? I see, the Zhang family has a lot of thoughts. Where are they going to trade in the past, it is clear that they want to put things in that place. Take it over, what should the court say if it knows about this matter?"
"What should the court know? That is the place of my Great Tang. Our people have been hurt in my place of Great Tang. Naturally, soldiers will be dispatched. Isn't Li Xun already prepared like this?"
Old Man Bi said to Old Man Zhang, his meaning is already very clear, that is, let the people on Datang's side pass, occupy there, and become his own place. As for what others say, it doesn’t matter, the local The people will be killed at that time, or they will be taken to other places. After so many years, people will know that there is a piece of land in the Tang Dynasty.
When Old Man Zhang heard what Old Man Bi said, he knew what Old Man Bi had planned. He sighed and said, “I’m not worried about this. If we expand one place, we will make one place
In that case, there won’t be enough people on our side until the time comes. You can’t just hit a place without sending someone to guard it, right? Is it to send the people here? "
"No, you can't send the people here. Everyone who gets there must be rotated within a few years. If the people are sent over, then who knows whether the people there will still recognize Datang? If the country is suddenly established, it will be beyond reach."
When Old Man Bi heard that he was sending people to other places, he immediately rejected it. This must not be sent, especially in ignorant places. The local people didn’t know what was going on. When the people here passed, it might be the first time. After fighting with the local people, it was discovered that there was not much benefit after the fight, and if there were some wars and other things here, the people there were likely to have other thoughts.
"If this is the case, let's think of a solution later. The main reason is that the speed of the boat is too slow. It takes a long time to go back and forth. When there is something really happening there, there is no time to catch it. , No, Xiaobao and Juanjuan have to talk to their family about this matter, otherwise, even if they know the place, it will be of no use."
Seeing that Old Man Bi began to worry, Old Man Zhang immediately mentioned what he had told Zhang's family.
The two said a few more points before they returned to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. The old man Zhang said to Zhang Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, did your family continue to look for other islands after they found that island? place?"
"Other places? Not for the time being, Grandpa Zhang, that place is not small, don’t look at it now, but it’s impossible to take it all over there. It’s impossible without tens of thousands of soldiers. My family wants to go ahead. We can manage that place well, and we can’t control the other places. You have to eat one bite at a time."
Zhang Xiaobao understood that the two of them were also afraid that when that time came, they kept looking for new places on their own side. In that case, let alone there are not so many soldiers on the Tang Dynasty, they could not be sent, so why would they be sent there
Is it to come back after killing a few people? The place is large, the population is small, and the front line is too long, and it is easy for people to attack, so this is why I told them part of the plan.
Old man Zhang was temporarily relieved when he heard Zhang Xiaobao's words, but he was very curious about that place, what did it look like? You need to understand what a person looks like and what special products are there. The most important thing is how big it is.
He cast a look at Old Man Bi, and Old Man Bi came out and asked, "Little Bao, is there anything good in their place? Is the place big?"
"Good stuff? Yes, the people who visited this time brought things back. I will let Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Bi take a look. Many of these things are what we need. I don’t know how big the place is. I know, but there are many islands between our place and that place.
As long as we take back that place again, the island in the middle will be ours. You can learn what Luzhou looks like here, build a lighthouse there, and build a larger island that can be found. Housing, to provide help for people fishing in the distant sea. "
Zhang Xiaobao thought for a while, and told him in advance what he had planned to mention later. This time he didn't say so in detail, especially for the future, he didn't tell Old Man Zhang and Old Man Bi.
"Yes, Grandpa Bi, it’s fine there. There seems to be a lot of gold, gold, and other local specialties. If we don’t want it, we will give it to others, especially the minerals. After reappearing, what our family thinks is, first use force to let the people who let them live in our place help to do the work.
Wait for the mine to be dug out and send it here. You can bury it and keep it for future generations to use, or you can take it out for use now, so that we don’t need to move the minerals here and keep it for the children and grandchildren, and ah, They have a lot of food, just like Leizhou and Yazhou here.
Let their local people grow them and bring them to eat, feed the animals, and make wine, so they don’t need our people to do it. Think about it, they live in our place and don’t work for us. No matter how it works, it's like a banker. Is a banker who doesn't work or a banker? "
At this time, Wang Juan also interjected and talked to the two old men. The two old men were really speechless when we heard them. What kind of person is this? For adults, that’s fine, and the two little boys are also learning. As an adult, the locals are sad now.
The two looked at each other again. This time they didn’t say anything, but they understood in their hearts that the Zhang family would never abandon that place. If that is the case, they would wait for Li Xun to fight there first, and then let the court send someone. Keep it in the past, just as Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan’s family said at the beginning, change people every once in a while.
"If this is the case, then you will continue to stay here, and I will go back with your Grandpa Zhang to rest." Seeing that there is nothing for him, Old Man Bi said hello and left here.
As soon as the two of them got out of the schoolyard, they got on to the carriage, so let people hurry, and they had to discuss it.
"There is gold there, and it seems that there are other things. The gain this time is not small, but I always feel that the Zhang family seems to have known it a long time ago. Seeing that their preparations happen to be there to deal with others. of."
Old Man Bi leaned in the car, finished speaking to Old Man Zhang, and then ordered the driver to go to the dock, ready to see what was there.
The old man Zhang felt the same way. Judging from the things prepared by the Zhang family fleet, it was indeed the case. They must have got the news from somewhere, but this is not right. How long has the Zhang family been here? Could it be that a certain fisherman passed by accidentally
How could this be possible? How long does it take to go back and forth? What kind of boat the fishermen had had already capsized into the water. I wonder, I can't figure out.
After pondering for a while, Old Man Zhang said, "I think about it in the same way, but if I ask them, there is nothing they can do if they don’t admit it. It seems that they can only wait, if they are familiar with more things over there. , Maybe it can explain some problems."
"Yeah, I guess they just got the idea of all kinds of things in that place, otherwise it wouldn't be the case, and the people from the south of the Yangtze River, when did the Zhang family become so generous, they can even let them not pay for it first? And they loaned the boat to them for business, and when they got here, they didn't try to keep the price down, and they didn't even let their boat carry the same things.
Do you think the Zhang family wants to calculate the merchants of their Jiangnan host? This is not okay. There can be no chaos there. Once something happens, many places will be affected. You have to ask carefully. There is a place for merchants from the south of the Yangtze River at the dock here, and it happens to be asked together. "
Mr. Bi agreed with Mr. Zhang's statement, and he also mentioned the businessmen's affairs. It would be nothing to replace them with others. It would make people think that it should be. But Zhang's family is not so simple to do things. They are always able to connect many things together.
Yes, when connected, Old Man Bi thought about this and suddenly said, "Do you think the merchants in the Jiangnan Dongdao will have anything to do with that newly discovered place? It shouldn't be easy for the Zhang family to act like this?"
"Well, it makes sense. I used to ask carefully. If it doesn't work, I will wait for Li Xun to dispatch troops and see what the result will be. If I want to come to Zhang's house, I won't keep hiding it all the time."
After saying this, Old Man Zhang began to ask the driver to hurry up. The more this kind of thing is known in advance, the more time it will take to prepare.
…
Li Xun was still inciting him on the school field. The three thousand soldiers had already been boiled with enthusiasm for what he said. They clamored to teach others in the past, and Li Xun also screamed vigorously.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan looked at them, they were really helpless, and at the same time they were a little curious. They didn't seem to have taught Li Xun such a thing, how did he know
Is this talent? From this point of view, Li Xun should be suitable to be a general, not a rich man. Then he can come in handy, or be an instructor or something, which is very interesting.
"It seems that Li Xun can also be a versatile person. Look at what he is saying right now. It is good, very good. After leaving, he will go to other places. When he comes back, he may be able to. A thousand people have been selected. Fortunately, the fleet will come back in time. Otherwise, accidents will easily occur."
Zhang Xiaobao said a few words and moved his horse away. He was very thankful that the time of the fleet's return was a bit earlier. Otherwise, once the court knew about the army here, and arranged a record to join the army. Yes, then the mobilization of the army will not be easy.
Now all things are in the hands of my father. No one will say anything else. It is normal to send troops, and now this soldier has not been recognized by the court. When it is really investigated, it is said that the local people spontaneously went to fight. That's a very interesting thing.
Li Xun continued to instigate here, and when he saw Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan both left, he felt that it was almost the time, and he began to conduct an all-army contest. As long as a thousand people passed, the number of people who wanted to go had to be within one thousand.
The soldiers immediately started to compare. Li Xun found someone and let him watch. As long as a thousand people were selected, he mounted his horse and chased Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
"Xiaobao, did you not use the fireworks this time? It happened that I took them. Will you come with me?" Li Xun ran after Zhang Xiaobao and turned his head to ask.
"What's going with you? You can't go, you're just a symbol, and you still think over there, what if there is a danger?"
When Zhang Xiaobao heard Li Xun's words, he immediately poured a basin of cold water on his head. How could this kind of thing let him go? Isn't it troublesome
Li Xun was taken aback, staring at Zhang Xiaobao, probably to see if he was lying. Seeing Zhang Xiaobao's serious appearance, he nodded and said: "I know, I just can't go to bed, can I? No, I must To pass, I have to fight with my people, even if it is dangerous, I have to go, otherwise, I am still a royal person?"
"Then go by yourself, others won't stop you, anyway other people on my side won't go." Zhang Xiaobao saw that Li Xun was still there, so he could only use threats.
"Only my two hundred people have passed. In case they are too crowded, well, I won't follow it myself this time, but I have to stay in that place in Yazhou. I have to know the news first. ."
Li Xun thought for a while, it’s really dangerous there. If you hang up by yourself, well, you hang up. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan usually say that. If you hang up, then you can’t do good for the people who are entrusted with them. Child.
"Don't worry, we can pass by waiting for people in the past to take over the place. Neither I nor the cuckoo will go. Are we afraid? Are we worried about unexpected things?" Zhang Xiaobao persuaded again In a word, Li Xun is much better now.
