Da Cannibal is preaching in Jiao Zhi, and he is not so optimistic.
Under the pressure of the local Buddhism in Jiaozhi and the witches in the mountains and forests, it can be said that it is difficult to move an inch.
Da Cannibal has been preaching in Jiaozhi for more than half a year, and only recruited 10,000 followers.
Most of them were the poor people they saved from the Cochin nobles, and some slaves and captives they bought after the war.
There are probably fewer than a thousand faithful believers.
Just this, the Buddha and the Witches continued to dig people out of their hands.
They even sent people to assassinate their believers.
In order to avoid the obstruction of the mission, the big cannibal has decided to leave the Annan army, occupy a city in Jiaozhi, and stand on its own.
At the same time, we are ready to arm our believers.
So they sent people to send a large number of gold and silver jewelry that they had seized and excavated in Jiaozhi to the city of Bianjing, and handed them to Kou Ji, who asked Kou Ji to help them replace them with armaments.
After Kou Ji got the money, he gave them the military equipment without hesitation.
At the same time, they quietly dispatched someone to tell Cao Utilization and Chen Yaozi about the matter.
According to Kou Ji's order, Chen Yaozi now dispatched the Forbidden Army with the prefix Yong to the border of Da Song and Jiao Zhi. On the one hand, he supported the Annan Army and on the other hand prevented the war from burning to Da Song.
Cao took advantage of Kou Ji's order and led the troops into Jiaozhi from the south bank of Jiaozhi. After looting fiercely, he withdrew from Jiaozhi.
Cochin is attacked on both sides.
King Jiaozhi had to divide his soldiers and horses into two groups, resisting the Annan army all the way, and preventing the use of Cao, who was haunting the south bank of Jiaozhi.
However, regardless of whether it is the soldiers and horses led by Cao Utilization, or the Annan army, the armaments are better than the Jiaozhi soldiers and horses.
Cochin did not suffer as a result.
After the Jiaozhi soldiers suffered a big loss in Cao's hands.
The Jiaozhi envoy thought of Kou Ji, and then rushed to the Song Dynasty again, entered Bianjing City in the name of a pilgrimage, and then quietly found Kou Ji.
Asked to trade better armaments with Kou Ji.
However, Koji can give them only leather armor and cloth armor.
The Cochin envoy obviously came with iron armor, but Kou Ji was unwilling to easily sell the iron armor to him.
Because Kou Ji sold leather and cloth armor to the big cannibal.
Da Cannibal and Cochin are secret opponents to Da Song.
Therefore, Kou Ji must keep the soldiers and horses led by the Annan Army and Cao Utilizing a certain advantage in order to control the entire Jiaozhi battle.
If the iron armor is easily handed over to Cochin, and Cochin can use it to make up for the defects in the equipment, it will easily cause great losses to the soldiers and horses led by Cao Li and the Annan army.
It's easy to change the game and get it out of Kou Ji's control.
Of course, Kou Ji was not simply sold to the Cochin Envoy's cloth and leather armor.
He also sold some crossbows to Jiaozhi.
Only by treating the crossbow as sweetness to Cochin, can Cochin bite his teeth and swallow the cloth and leather armor he sold.
Kou Ji and the Jiaozhi envoy secretly discussed several times.
Finally, they sold fifty thousand leather armor, thirty thousand cloth armor, and fifteen hundred crossbows.
For the sake of 1,500 bows and crossbows, the Cochin envoy happily completed the transaction with Kou Ji.
It didn't take long for the Cozhi envoy to leave Bianjing.
Da Song's war against Dali broke out.
…
Sichuan House.
Longma Lake.
On the edge of Longma Lake lived Mahu, one of the Wuman tribes attached to the Song Dynasty.
The Mahu Tribe used to be a humble tribe in Sichuan.
But since the imperial court and Dali signed an agreement to communicate with the border city, Mahu Department has become prosperous.
Because of the three border cities of the imperial court and Dali, one border city was established not far to the west of Mahu.
Under the leadership of Bian City, Mahu Department gradually became rich.
The tribesmen of the Mahu tribe, also under the influence of merchants from various places, gradually separated from the primitive way of life and merged into the border city.
When there were riots in the border city, Ruzu, the head of Mahu Department, led the young men of Mahu Department, and helped the court resist the bandits who robbed the border city.
Although he did not exert much effort, the chief official in the management of the border city, thinking that he was loyal to the court, went up to the court and protected Ruzu, the head of Mahu, a small official in charge of the border city.
After Mahu headman Ruzu took office, he always led his tribe to help the imperial court manage the border city.
With the addition of these local snakes, the border city is well managed.
It faintly overwhelms the other two border markets, becoming the first border market in the Song and Dali border areas.
The chief official who governs the border city is already preparing to report Ruzuo's credit to the next official appraisal, requesting the imperial court to promote Ruzuo.
Then, before the official evaluation, something went wrong in the border city.
A Dali businessman refused to pay taxes when he entered the border city to do business. He had a quarrel with the tax collector, hurting people, and fled back to Dali.
Similar things have happened before.
According to convention, the chief official of Longma Lakeside City will send people to Dali to negotiate, let Dali hand over the murderer and compensate the money.
This time the Dali businessman injured someone, and the chief official of Longma Lakeside City handed the matter over to Ruzuo.
According to the usual practice, Ru Zuo dispatched a servant to Dali to negotiate accountability.
Then, the government servants sent to negotiate left the border market, and after entering Dali, they never came back.
Ruzuo sent someone to investigate and found out.
That hurt Dali businessman has some identity in Dali.
The officials sent to negotiate with Dali entered the territory of Dali and arrived at the place under the jurisdiction of the Abdubu of Dali, which is the nearest to Longma Lake. Dali officials from the area under the jurisdiction of the Abdubu of Dali brought them to the city where the Abdubu was located, and negotiated. This matter.
After some negotiations, the Dali businessman was willing to pay some money to the government officials in the border city to collect taxes.
But it's a bit ugly, and there is a kind of charity in it when giving money.
This annoyed the officials who went to Dali to negotiate.
The Ya Ya insisted on taking the Dali businessman back for business.
The two almost fought because of this.
The Dali officials dissuaded the two of them and sent the Yamen out of the Yamen where the Abdubu governed the place, telling him that they could negotiate the matter through official documents between Dali and the Song Dynasty.
The Ya Ya brought only three people, so there was no way to forcibly take people in Dali.
Then he could only take the money paid by the businessman from Dali, and took his three brothers on the way back, ready to report the matter to the superior after returning to the border city.
However, the Ya Ya took the three brothers out of the city of Abdubu in Dali, and went to the wilderness, where they were robbed and killed.
After the incident was discovered, there was an uproar in the border city.
You know, Dali and Da Song intersect, and Da Song has always been on the strongest side.
Now the public officials sent by Song Dynasty to Dali have been beheaded.
How could Da Song tolerate it.
The chief official in charge of the border city sent a letter filled with outrage to Dali Abdu officials for accountability.
The officials of the Abdu Ministry of Dali decisively admitted the counsel and promised to pay huge compensation.
The matter was understood at this point.
Cheng Yaojin was only killed halfway through.
He also brought 50,000 elite soldiers, more than 30,000 auxiliary soldiers, and more than 10,000 civil servants.
At this moment, elite soldiers and auxiliary soldiers besieged the entire border city.
The'Cheng Yaojin' was sitting in the lobby inside the office of the steward of Longma Lakeside City.
That'Cheng Yaojin' is kind of Shiheng.
Sitting in the middle of the lobby, Zhong Shiheng stared at the main official of the border city Yao Ren and several auxiliary officials standing in the lobby, and said lightly: "The official is ordered to inspect the place and follow the path of Suijiang. I heard that the city of Longma Lake has happened. A murder case.
The murder is related to both my Da Song and Dali? "
Yao Ren, who was in his 40s, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and said: "Governor, there has indeed been a murder in Longmahubian City. The lower official has sent a letter to the official of Dali Abdu's Department to inquire about this matter.
Dali agreed to pay a sum of money to compensate the corps who have died. "
Zhong Shiheng frowned and said coldly, "Is this over?"
Zhong Shiheng is very powerful, and with the help of soldiers and horses, the power is even better. Facing Zhong Shiheng's cold questioning, Yao Ren's sweat on his forehead has increased.
While wiping his sweat, he squatted and said, "The governor, has Dali agreed to pay compensation?"
"Snapped!"
Zhong Shiheng shot up at the table and said angrily: "Kill my Dasong people and pay some money. What about the real murderer? What about the petition? Both the officials and the Kou Secretaries are powerful people. They never allow me. Song people bowed their heads to anyone, let alone outsiders to hurt me Song people half a point.
If the officials and Shu Mi knew that the Dali people had killed me, the Song people, you only needed some money, but did not make Dali surrender the real murderer, and did not ask Dali King to take out the petition, they would definitely screw your head off! "
Yao Ren trembled all over, with his head hanging down, dare not say a word.
The remaining auxiliary officials are roughly the same.
Only one person looked up, gritted his teeth, and stared at Chong Shiheng.
It was a thin, penetrating old man who looked a little different from the Central Plains. He was dressed in a large official uniform, which was very dissonant.
Zhong Shiheng's eyes fell on the little old man, and he said coldly: "Are you not convinced?"
The little old man raised his neck and said with an angry expression: "You are a big official, you don't make sense at all. When you get here, you will ask us if you want this or that. You don't want to think about it. We are the only officials and soldiers in the border city. , Is there that power to have a fight with Dali
If there is a trouble, the Dali people will come in, and the border city will be destroyed.
Yao Guantou was also thinking about the border market, and didn't want to get into a deadlock with the Dali people.
If you are capable, don't show off here.
You go to the Dali people to be the real murderer, and you have to ask for a crime.
If you can ask for the real murderer, if you want a petition, then I will convince you. "
"Ru Zuo, don't speak arrogantly!"
Yao Ren was shocked when he heard Rujo's words, and hurriedly shouted.
Ruzuo has a hot temperament, and he is obedient to Yao Ren on weekdays. That is why he convinces Yao Ren.
Because after Yao Ren appeared here, he led his people to live a good life.
But it was the first time for him to see Chong Shiheng.
He didn't bring any benefits to the people of his tribe, so he naturally refused to accept the bird's air of Shiheng.
He is not afraid of offending Chong Shiheng, let alone offending the court.
If it really started, he led his tribe to run into the woods and directly occupied the mountain as the king.
Anyway, they used to stand on the top of the mountain and be the king of grass heads, and they didn't see Da Song doing anything about them.
So Yao Ren didn't listen to Rujo's reprimand, and didn't intend to listen.
He stared at Chong Shiheng and said, "You high-ranking officials will only deceive others. If you really get the facts, you will have to diminish one by one."
Zhong Shiheng ignored him, just stared at Yao Ren and said, "Your people?"
Yao Ren can be regarded as a responsible person, and he did not deny his identity because of Ruzu’s utter falsehood. He said bitterly to Chong Shiheng: “Ru Zuo is the head of the Mahu Department, and he is the assistant officer recruited by the lower officials. ."
Zhong Shiheng nodded slowly, his gaze fell on Rujo, and said coldly: "Since you are a naturalized person, this official doesn't care about your offense.
Do you think my Dasong officials can only bully others
This official tells you that my Dasong official will kill people. "
"Yao Ren!"
Zhong Shiheng snorted.
Yao Ren hurriedly said: "The next official is..."
Zhong Shiheng said solemnly: "When the officials destroyed Xixia and returned to Beijing, they once said that anyone who hurts the lives of the people of the Song Dynasty will be punishable.
The official word is the will.
I have to obey all the time. "
Yao Ren hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "The officials may just be joking for a while..."
Zhong Shiheng stared and snorted: "That official will tell you that I, the official of Song Dynasty, never talk jokes."
Yao Ren's eyes widened in horror.
Rujo looked at the two of them unclearly.
Zhong Shiheng's gaze fell on Ru Zuo again, and said, "Keep your eyes open and take a good look at what is Da Song and what is Da Song's official."
After saying this, Chong Shiheng stopped paying attention to Yao Ren and others. He shouted: "Where are the soldiers before the account?"
The voice fell to the ground.
A group of soldiers in armor and blades entered the hall and knelt on one knee.
Chong Shiheng stared at the soldiers and shouted: "Dali hurts the four of us, Dasong, we will break the four cities of Dali and teach Dali a lesson. If we pass the order, we can leave the camp and attack Dali, giving me the Adu, Four cities, Shuanglin, Shama, and Fengpa."
"Here!"
The soldiers agreed and went out of the lobby.
Yao Ren was speechless with a look of horror.
For the four nameless pawns, the soldiers sent Dali and set off a shocking battle.
This... Unheard of!
The official family is in Bianjing, so maybe they just said it casually, why would anyone take it seriously
Dali is a country, not a county or a county, nor is it a grass-roots force.
A little carelessness will trigger a war of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.
Without hesitation
think for a while
Or report it
Yao Ren has countless question marks in his heart.
Ru Zuo stared at Chong Shiheng with bright eyes, and exclaimed in admiration, "You big official, doing things is so refreshing."
Zhong Shiheng snorted and stepped out of the lobby.
Seeing this, Ru Zuo stomped his feet and said, "Wait for me, I will take the tribe with you and help you out."
When the voice fell, Ru Zuo rushed out following in the footsteps of Chong Shiheng.
Yao Ren also recovered his mind at this time. He chopped his feet in horror and said: "Crazy! A bunch of lunatics!"
"Quick! Get pen, ink, paper and inkstone! I want to tell the court!"
"..."
At the time when Yao Ren was furiously writing, Chong Shiheng had already arrived outside the yamen.
Sitting on horseback, Zhu Neng saw Zhong Shiheng come out, and hurriedly asked, "How?"
Zhong Shiheng said indifferently: "If the verification is true, we don't need to make any more excuses, we can just kill it."
"Hahaha..."
Zhu Neng laughed loudly and said: "I was on the road before, and I had been worrying about who should be sent to do this so that the flaws would not be revealed. Unexpectedly, the Dali people would take the initiative to send it to the door before we did it."
"The official, wait for me..."
Just when Zhu Neng was talking with Chong Shiheng, Ru Zuo rushed out yelling.
Zhu Neng stared suspiciously at Ruzuo.
But Ruzuo didn't care about him. After he rushed to Chong Shiheng, he said loudly, "Official, are you enough? The Shama and Abdul tribes you are going to fight are both big tribes, it's not good. Deal with it, do you want me to take the tribe to help you?"
"Ah?!"
Zhu Neng laughed and asked Zhong Shiheng: "Is there anyone else who voluntarily runs out to help?"
Zhong Shiheng pouted his lips and said, "It's not bad if you don't add chaos..."
Seeing that Chong Shiheng disliked himself a little, Ru Zuo suddenly said unhappy: "I see your senior officials doing things differently from those of the previous senior officials, so I came to help.
As someone else, I'm still not willing to make a move. "
As soon as Zhong Shiheng was about to refuse, he listened to Ru Zuo continue: "Even if you have enough soldiers and horses, you must have some people to lead the way, right? The road in Dali is not easy to follow.
If no one helps you lead the way, you probably won't even find a place. "
Hearing this, Zhong Shiheng swallowed the rejection back into his stomach. He stared at Ru Zuo and said, "The person with you will lead the way."
"You can lead the way... How do you divide the things this lays down?"
Ruzuo smiled.
Don't look at him like a silly, in fact, he is thick and thin.
He insisted on helping Chong Shiheng, not only because of his temper for Chong Shiheng's way of doing things, but also partly for his own benefit.
When Chung Shiheng heard Rujo's words, he understood Rujo's intestines.
Immediately, Chong Shiheng stared at Ruzuo and said: "According to past practice, the soldiers and horses of your tribe helped us defeat the enemy, and can only get 10% of the capture.
I see you being so enthusiastic, and I will give you a convenience.
As long as it is what your people lay down, it belongs to you. "
When Ru Zuo heard this, his eyes became brighter.
"Keep your word?!"
"a man of his words!"
"Have fun! I like dealing with high officials like you!"
"..."
After Chong Shiheng agreed to this matter, Ru Zuo ran to summon the young men of the clan.
Zhong Shiheng sent people to the border city to pass the order, asking all soldiers and horses to pass through the border city and go to Dali.
When a torrent of steel poured into Longma Lakeside City, everyone in Longma Lakeside City was shocked.
Longma Lakeside City is at the junction of the two countries.
I have often seen people from all walks of life, and have seen wicked people from all walks of life.
But I have never encountered soldiers and horses like a torrent of steel.
Ru Zuo took more than a thousand young men from his clan and rushed to the border city according to the agreed time. After seeing the generals of the Tianwu Army, he almost dropped his jaw.
The young men in Mahu Department are barely considered soldiers.
He was also a soldier.
You can roughly see what a good soldier is and what a spoiled soldier is.
The Tianwu Army, among all the soldiers and horses I have seen, the breath is the most terrifying, and also the strongest.
Although he had never seen the Tianwu army go into battle to kill the enemy.
But he could still be sure that the soldiers of the Tianwu Army were the strongest.
There is no other reason. In addition to the neatest military appearance, the Tianwu Army also has the strictest military discipline.
If these two points are not counted, then the murderous aura pervading the Tianwu Army and the alternative way of wearing weapons by the Tianwu Army generals can also prove that they are tough soldiers.
But everyone who is a fierce soldier has a habit, that is, they like to kill the enemy in the most convenient and comfortable way on the battlefield.
So the way they wear weapons is different from other people.
Some people like to carry knives, guns and swords, some like to carry them on their backs, and some like to wear them around their waists.
If you look carefully at the Tianwu Army, you will find that the soldiers of the Tianwu Army are different when they wear single-use weapons.
There are also many differences in the place where the weapon is worn.
There is no doubt that the soldiers in the Tianwu Army have already experienced the baptism of war, and they already know where to wear their weapons, and they use them most comfortably.
"It's amazing..."
After seeing the Tianwu Army, Ru Zuo knew why Zhong Shiheng was so generous to him.
Because behind such a powerful army of the Tianwu Army, he could hardly pick up anything cheap, nor could he pick up any spoils.
But he was not upset by it.
On the contrary, I am more excited.
Because he found that Da Song's current method of doing things is very temperamental to him.
The people in the Mahu Department are also the people of the Song Dynasty.
They follow such a great Song and such a court, they will definitely have a good life in the future.
"Dali killed the lives of the four people of the Song Dynasty, in accordance with the promise made by my Song Dynasty officials in the city of Bianjing,'Anyone who hurts my people in the Song Dynasty will be punishable.'
At this moment, we are sending out the Great Song to seek justice for me! "
After all the crowds arrived, Chong Shiheng shouted loudly to the onlookers.
The court brazenly sent troops to Dali for the lives of the four people.
The people couldn't believe it, but they had to believe it.
Because Chong Shiheng led the soldiers and horses ready to go, the facts were in front of them, and they couldn't help but believe them.
The imperial court is willing to brazenly raise troops for the lives of the little people.
In this way, the court, even if it spares its life to repay it, there is no regret or regret.
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"..."
I don't know who yelled "Wan Sheng", and the people screamed together with passion.
They didn't care even if the voice was hoarse.
Chong Shiheng led the Tianwu Army and rushed out of the border market amidst the shouts of the people.
After leaving the border market, I rested overnight at the border of Song Dynasty and Dali.
The next day.
Chong Shiheng's troops were divided into three groups, respectively attacking the Abdu, Shama, and Shuanglin divisions of Dali.
Zhong Shiheng led 20,000 soldiers and horses to the Abdul Tribe.
Zhu Neng led 20,000 soldiers and horses to the Sha Ma Department.
The remaining 10,000 horses, led by the general of the Tianwu Army, slew towards the Shuanglin Department.
The Shuanglin Tribe is only a small tribe compared to the Shama Tribe and Abdu Tribe.
Therefore, ten thousand horses are enough.
Under the leadership of the Mahu tribe, the three soldiers quickly rushed to the place they were about to attack.
Within one day, the Abdu, Shama, and Shuanglin tribes were all conquered.
Firearms cleared the way, iron armor charged.
Invincible.
The low walls of Dali Abdu's Third Division could not stop the advance of the Tianwu Army at all.
Can not stop the powerful coverage of muskets and artillery.
In order for Zhong Shiheng to be able to show his prestige at once, he used all his muskets and artillery in the war.
