Kou Ji shook his head and said frankly: "I just sent people to make money. Xichuan Huihu will give money, and we will help them fight. Let's treat it as a hire."
An Ziluo stared at Kou Ji in amazement.
Hire... Soldiers? !
What does Kou Ji think
Don't soldiers and horses fight for their own forces
When can I spend money to hire to help others in war
Then what is the point if they die on the battlefield
for money
That's too cheap, right
An Ziluo fell into a brief period of confusion.
Kou Ji raised an eyebrow at An Ziluo, and said in a low voice: "Do you want to join Qingtang? Xichuan Huihu's money is earned by Yuanshan Department, and we can also make it.
Yuanshan is a good man, and gave us a way of making money.
After I have made a profit in Xichuan Huihu, I will write to thank him in person. "
An Ziluo felt a little moved in his heart, but said calmly on his face: "I can't do the Lord in this matter. I need to go back and report to Zampo of my clan."
Kou Ji smiled indifferently, without speaking.
Because he knew that An Ziluo had taken the bait.
An Ziluo did not say no, which means that Qingtang sent troops to help the Xichuan Uighurs resist the Karahan Dynasty.
There are many people in Qingtang who refuse to accept the control of Jiao Si Luo.
It was easy to lure them into letting them go out and die.
As long as Jiao Si Luo is not stupid, he will definitely use this to eradicate dissidents.
An Ziluo didn't know Kou Ji's thoughts, he stared at Kou Ji very suspiciously, "Are you an official of Song Dynasty or a businessman?"
Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Everything in the world can be regarded as business. Therefore, there is no difference between officials and businessmen.
A qualified official must be a qualified businessman. "
An Ziluo frowned, feeling that Kou Ji's words were fallacy, "What about the king and courtiers?"
Kou Ji stared at An Ziluo with a smile: "If the king doesn't pay his courtiers, look at how many courtiers are working for him."
An Ziluo's eyes widened in astonishment, but couldn't say a word.
Benevolence, righteousness and loyalty, under Kou Ji's words, became worthless.
An Ziluo felt very uncomfortable.
Kou Ji knew that his words had a great impact on An Ziluo, so he didn't continue talking.
After he accompanied An Ziluo to determine the location of the exchange, he stopped talking to An Ziluo.
The civil and military personnel in the court accompany the envoys and talked for a long time before they settled the issue of mutual market.
The results are very gratifying.
All the places in the exchange market are in the Song Dynasty.
The mutual market was managed by the Song Dynasty court.
In the future, Da Song has the absolute right to speak on the issue of mutual markets.
After the envoys of the Manchu dynasty, civil and military officials left, they began to quickly select personnel.
After the exchange is finalized, it must be prepared as soon as possible.
The mutual market was established one day earlier, and the court made a profit one day earlier, and they could also take advantage of it.
Kou Ji didn't participate in the follow-up, but returned to the house slowly.
After that, for a long time.
Kou Ji didn't go out much, and went to and fro between the equipment forging workshop and Kou Mansion's courtyard all day long.
Zhao Zhen probably knew what Kou Ji was doing, so he didn't call Kou Ji into the palace to meet him, but occasionally quietly went out of the palace to talk to Kou Jipan.
Zhao Zhen didn't know much about the exchange market, general training, and the artillery and musket mass production technology that Kou Ji was conquering, so he needed to consult Kou Ji from time to time.
There are quite a few people in the DPRK who can ask for advice.
But there are not many people who can give Zhao Zhen a reasonable suggestion on these three things.
The officials of the Song Dynasty are no strangers to the exchange market.
But the largest mutual market of the imperial court so far is the Song-Liao mutual market.
The Liao State controlled the mutual market and prevented Da Song from interfering. Da Song had nothing but to be squeezed.
Song Xixia and Song Qingtang also often had trade exchanges, but most of them were unofficial, with very few official ones.
The imperial court is about to open dozens of mutual markets, and there must be a relatively complete management method. The Manchurian civil and military gave many suggestions, some of which are not reliable, and some carry private goods.
Zhao Zhen is unwilling to listen to their opinions, so he often consults Kou Ji to learn from his experience.
General training.
Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen are both crossing the river by touching the stones, so when encountering some problems, they often need to sit together and discuss them before they can make a decision.
As for the mass production of artillery and muskets that Kou Ji is currently conquering, Zhao Zhen can't actually get involved, nor can he talk. He mostly provides money and some materials that Kou Ji can't find. He has already asked about the progress.
In all manufacturing workshops, Kou Ji is the absolute hegemon, the absolute king.
When he does things in the workshop, he does not need to be questioned by others, nor does he need to tell anyone the purpose of everything he does.
As soon as Kou Ji entered the workshop, all the dragons, snakes, tigers and leopards in the workshop had to lie on their stomachs, quietly listening to Kou Ji's instructions.
Even some craftsmen who have been promoted to master craftsmen or divine craftsmen by virtue of their skills must obey orders in front of Kou Ji.
This matter has nothing to do with status or status.
It is purely the craftsmanship of Kou Ji, far more than all of them.
In the eyes of the people, they are master craftsmen, but in Kou Ji's eyes, they may be just apprentices who just started.
…
As soon as time passed, it was February.
The spring breeze blows over Bianjing City, giving Bianjing a lot of greenery.
The breeze bends the willows by the river and the weeds outside Baozhou City.
The weeds were bent over by the breeze, and began to grow wildly around, gradually filling the empty ground with green.
Baozhou Chengguan City.
Cao Wei is dressed in military uniform and lives high in the lobby of the city lord's mansion.
Lu Yijian, dressed in a simple gown, sat beside Cao Wei.
Li Zhaoliang, Yang Wenguang, and Di Qing sat on both sides, all in armor.
Cao Wei glanced solemnly over Li Zhaoliang, Yang Wenguang, and Di Qing, and said with a heavy voice: "According to the scout's return, the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu led an army of four hundred thousand and came down south.
After crossing the Great Wall, the soldiers were divided into two groups, all the way through Ruzhou and other places, rushing to Dading, and one route led by him personally to Youzhou.
The Liao army rushing to Dading must be heading for Yanmen Pass.
The soldiers and horses coming to Youzhou must have come rushing to Baozhou City.
The emperor of the Liao Dynasty, Yelu Longxu divided into two groups, and we also had to divide into two groups.
Li Zhaoliang and Yang Wenguang. "
Li Zhaoliang and Yang Wenguang got up, clasped their fists together and said: "The end is here!"
Cao Wei said solemnly: "I will order you two, lead one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and rush to Yanmen Pass to meet the enemy. Li Zhaoliang is the commander, and Yang Wenguang is the pioneer."
"Here!"
Li Zhaoliang and Yang Wenguang clasped their fists again.
Cao Wei continued: "The enemy is coming, but we are not weak. If there is a chance to force the enemy back, we must not miss it. If we leave Yanmen Pass, we will only take Shuohuan two prefectures, and we must not greedy merits.
After taking Shuohuan Second State, whether to continue to march, I will send someone to pass the order to you. "
"Here!"
Cao Wei solemnly said: "I will lead 200,000 soldiers and horses, take the initiative to attack Zhuozhou, kill Youzhou, and meet the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu for a while. Di Qing leads the tiger army and listens to my dispatch."
Di Qing stood up and said, "Here!"
When Yang Wenguang heard that Cao Wei was about to attack Youzhou, he was slightly moved.
Seeing this, Cao Wei said to Yang Wenguang: "If I lead an army to attack Youzhou City, I will send Di Qing to help Li Zhaoliang, and transfer you back to my command."
Yang Wenguang said gratefully, "Thank you Cao Shuai."
When Yang Wenguang heard Youzhou, he was a little moved. It wasn't that he had any thoughts about Youzhou. It is the bones of his grandfather Yang Ye, enshrined by the Liao people in Gubeikou outside the city of Youzhou.
Yang Wenguang deliberately retrieved his grandfather's bones himself.
Cao Wei knew about this, so when Yang Wenguang was moved, he told Yang Wenguang that he would dispatch Yang Wenguang to the battlefield of Youzhou City when he attacked Youzhou City.
After Cao Wei finished speaking, Lu Yijian frowned and asked, "Cao Shumi, Liao has far more soldiers and horses than us. Is it not so good if we take the initiative to attack?"
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu led a full 400,000 soldiers and horses to the south, far more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty.
That was one hundred thousand Liao Kingdom fine horses, and the combat effectiveness was extraordinary.
The extra 100,000 soldiers and horses were a huge threat to Song Dynasty.
Cao Wei heard Lu Yijian's words and said solemnly: "This battle was initiated by Da Song, not Liao. If we defend passively, morale will only be low.
Only by actively attacking and fighting out can the morale of the soldiers in the army rise.
Regaining Yanyun is not only our wish, but also the wish of all Chinese people.
With the wish to regain Yan Yun, they set foot on the battlefield, and they will definitely fight to the death.
More importantly, let the soldiers go out to see and see how miserable the lives of those who were left in Liao State by us.
It was our incompetence that allowed them to spend so many years under the rule of the Liao people.
When the soldiers saw their tragedy, they would surely arouse their fighting spirit. "
Cao Wei stared at Lu Yijian in a slightly heavy voice: "In the past, Emperor Taizong conquered the Liao Kingdom three times, exhausted the Song Dynasty's money and ruined hundreds of thousands of soldiers, why no one in the army complained
It is because the soldiers in the army have seen how miserable the lives of the Han people living under the rule of the Liao people.
In order to save them from the sea of suffering, the soldiers died without regret.
I have been silent for many years in the Song Dynasty. I haven't visited Yanyun Sixteen Prefecture for many years. Some soldiers in the army have long forgotten the oppression suffered by the Han people living in Liaodi.
Let the soldiers go out and see, they will definitely give up their lives for the Han people living in Liaodi. "
Cao Wei slowly got up, and said firmly: "In this battle, I can only win but not defeat, so we can only advance, not retreat. Even if we fight to the last pawn, we cannot retreat.
I have 300,000 erlangs of the Song Dynasty, with death ambitions. As long as the Liao people can't kill us alone, they should return the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures to us. "
"Only advance! Don't retreat!"
"Only advance! Don't retreat!"
"Only advance! Don't retreat!"
Li Zhaoliang, Yang Wenguang, and Di Qing shouted solemnly.
Cao Wei said in a loud voice: "If I die, the Cao character flag hanging on the top of the city is my shroud."
Cao Wei's voice was very loud, so loud that it came out of the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
The soldiers guarding outside the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion heard clearly.
They looked at the big banner with the word Cao on the head of Baozhou City, their faces excited.
When Lu Yijian heard Cao Wei's words, she slowly got up and said with a serious face: "Then I will stand behind you with the knife. If you retreat, I will cut you off; if I retreat, heaven and man will punish you. If you die, I will Never live alone.
Although I am a literati, I can throw my head and blood for the country, and I can also serve the country, shrouded in horse leather. "
"it is good!"
Cao Wei shouted.
Both inside and outside the main hall of the city's main hall were excited.
Cao Wei commanded: "Li Zhaoliang, Yang Wenguang, lead the troops quickly!"
Li Zhaoliang and Yang Wenguang clasped their fists to lead their orders, and resolutely left the main hall of the city lord mansion.
After Li Zhaoliang and Yang Wenguang left, Cao Wei looked at Di Qing and said, "Di Qing, this commander has commanded you. Lead the Tiger Army, go out of Huaqiao, and break the bronze platform. For the army behind, break through the door of Zhuozhou."
"Here!"
Di Qing clasped his fists, withdrew from the main hall of the city lord's mansion, and went straight to the Tiger Army camp outside Baozhou City.
After Di Qing left, Cao Wei ordered his soldiers and horses to pull out the camp and march.
After Di Qing returned to the tiger army camp, he ordered the tiger army's men and horses, one man and two horses, with heavy armor, dragging a hundred tigers and other sharp weapons, and walked outside the barracks.
When I left the gate, I saw a woman standing alone.
Di Qinglema, ordered the soldiers behind to stop, he jumped off his horse and walked quickly to the woman.
"How did you come?"
Di Qing walked to the woman and asked very concerned.
Second Sister Cao laughed in a low voice: "Miangong wants to go on the expedition, so I naturally want to send him off. I originally wanted to accompany him on the expedition, but I don't want to live up to it."
While talking, Sister Cao slightly bulged her belly.
Di Qing's face was stern, "Nonsense, your stomach is the most competitive."
Sister Cao smiled and said, "Don't comfort me. I'm older than you, and I know more comforting people than you know."
Di Qing curled his lips and said, "How big is it, no matter how big, I am also your husband."
Sister Cao was amused.
Second Sister Cao laughed for a long time, the smile on her face narrowed slightly, and said to Di Qing: "Since the Tiger Army became an army, you have experienced dozens of battles, big and small.
But there has never been a title.
When others mentioned you Di Qing, they only knew that you were a person valued by the officials, a person promoted by Lord Yong Guo, and a person taught by my uncle.
No one mentions your feats on the battlefield.
Others think that you are out of luck and met so many noble people.
But I know that I am fair, able to fight well, and not weaker than others.
In this battle, I wish you a triumphant return, and may you be famous all over the world. "
Di Qing pursed his mouth and nodded solemnly.
Sister Cao's words are said to have touched Di Qing's heart.
He needs to prove that he is not lucky enough to meet so many noble people.
It was because of Kou Jihui's eyes that she knew the bead and found him, a jewel that hadn't grown yet.
Second Sister Cao took out a belt and tied it to Di Qing's waist, "Before you..."
After the belt was tightly tied, Di Qing smiled brilliantly at Sister Cao, turned around and turned on his horse.
After Di Qing took the soldiers of the Tiger Army and left, the second sister Cao stared at the direction he was leaving and muttered what she hadn't finished.
"I am willing to remove my armour for you..."
Armouring and armour removal have a beginning and an end, which is full of a wife's longing for her husband.
